Chapter Ninety-Nine: Trickery
Looking at the dark sky above the palace wall, and then at the little eunuch kneeling outside Wuyizhai, Ying Qi sighed slightly. These people get up so early!
"I've seen the prince, I've seen the fourth elder brother, I've seen the thirteenth elder brother, I've seen the seventeenth elder brother!" At the gate of Wuyizhai, the prince, the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were preparing to enter the door.
"Fourth sister is exempt!" the prince followed the title of the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother also nodded slightly to Ying Qi.
"Brother Prince Xie!" Ying Qi got up and raised a coquettish smile, which made the prince stunned, as if he saw a ray of sunshine in the dark night, flashing brightly in front of his eyes.
"The fourth sister is on her first day of school today?" Although the prince had a questioning sentence, it was in a positive tone.
"Exactly. It is all thanks to His Majesty's reward, and he specially chose today, and Qin Tianjian said that it was a good day and an auspicious day. Ying Qi replied with a smile.
"The fourth sister doesn't understand anything, just come and ask me. The prince said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Prince!" Ying Qi hurriedly saluted.
"Second brother, the fourth sister is here for the first time, why don't you let me send her over?"
"Huh?" the prince was slightly stunned. It seems that something has been remembered as well.
"Okay, there you go. Don't waste time. The prince nodded.
Yinli looked at the sky, "It's too late." "The time of the class is fixed.
"I'll go too. "The thirteenth elder brother joined in the fun.
"Go ahead. The prince and the fourth elder brother went in one after the other.
"Qi'er, the first day you came, I guess they all have some eyes, in case there is anything, you can come to us at any time. Yinli said as he walked.
"Brother Seventeen, don't you look at who I am?" In the palace, Ying Qi still has a lot of rules.
"Little Seventeen, even I have been bullied by her, where will she be afraid of anyone. Yinxiang said with a smile.
"When did I bully you? I'm such a good child, don't ruin my image, okay!" Ying Qi shrugged and glared at Yinxiang, and everyone laughed for a while.
"It's here. Yinli stopped. "Wait a minute, I'll observe first. ”
Ying Qi nodded, and looked in through the half-hidden door, and there were already young ladies inside.
As if sensing her arrival, everyone looked at the door.
Xiang Lan's group of people stood directly opposite the door.
"It's the thirteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother. He whispered to the blue group.
"Sure enough, I have something to rely on. The girl with the emerald green smoke and yarn smiled lightly.
"Buddies can't get in again. Everyone laughed lowly.
Sure enough, Yinxiang helped Yingqi push the door open, but did not go in.
"Sister Qi, it's inconvenient for us to go in. There's no bucket on the door, and there's nothing else to trick you with, so just pay attention to yourself. Yinxiang said. Yinli also nodded.
"I see. You don't have to worry. Ying Qi smiled. "Brothers, let's go back first. Otherwise, others will still think that I am in a position. Yinxiang and Yinli nodded when they heard the words and left.
"Fourth Miss, do you want to go in first?" Xi'er stepped forward and asked.
Ying Qi looked at the door again, "Sister Xi'er, let Xueyun come first." With a wave of his hand, Snow Cloud stepped forward and pushed open the door again.
She didn't go in, just stood outside the threshold, and sure enough, there was a rattle, and a bucket fell with a bang. Ying Qi took two steps back, and Xue Yun stood forward, and all the water in the bucket was blocked by Xue Yun, so naturally not a drop splashed her.
"Ah, I dodged it. The girls inside exclaimed slightly. Even Chu Rou was a little surprised, after all, this kind of secondary door opening was set up, how could ordinary people expect that there would be a mechanism for the second time.
"Oh my God. Fourth Miss, are you alright?" exclaimed Xi'er. I hurriedly stepped forward to check on Yingqi, but saw that there was not even a drop of water.
"It's fine. Let someone clean it up. Xi'er naturally didn't dare to go in and argue with the group of eldest ladies, so she only turned around and beckoned the palace maid next to her to come forward and take the bucket away and wipe the ground again.
Soon cleaned up, Ying Qi did not enter the door, but waited outside the door.
"Why didn't she come in?" Xiang Lan's group didn't rush forward to do anything, just watched the palace maids clean up, after all, they still had a lot of tricks to do.
"Scared?" asked Chu Rou to Lan.
"Probably not. Chu Rou said. At this time, others also arrived.
"I've seen the princess!" the twelfth princess Saren arrived with Xitong. Both of them are dressed in big red flag suits, and they are rich and powerful.
"Yo, it's Niu Co Lu Yingqi, are you starting school today?" said Saren with a big grin, a look of disgust.
"By the grace of Your Majesty. Ying Qi bowed slightly.
"Hmph, you know that the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful. As soon as Saren heard her words, he was going to let her salute and squat for a while, but listening to Yingqi's grace, he naturally didn't dare to toss more, so he simply threw his sleeves and entered the gate directly.
However, Xi Tong beside her looked at Ying Qi carefully, and then looked at Xiang Lan's group of people in the door, frowning slightly and seemed to be a little puzzled. But she didn't say much, and followed Saren inside.
Ying Qi has been waiting for a middle-aged woman to come in, dressed in a golden silk butterfly blue flag suit, with a little sharpness between her eyebrows and eyes, it is the female master Hesheri Jinzhu who teaches Mongolian language in the palace school. Now the aunt of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the eighteenth sister of Queen Hesheri, because of her superb Manchurian and Mongolian Chinese, was specially hired by Kangxi as the master of the princesses and nobles. Because of her background, naturally, no one, including the princesses, dared to offend her.
"I've seen the master!" Ying Qi hurriedly bowed.
"But Miss Niu Colu, who is a first-time student?" the tone was milder. Jin Zhu looked at Ying Qi, who was waiting for him outside, and naturally someone told him about what happened before he came in. Then why is this Miss Niu Colu waiting for her outside the door? Timid? It is said that he is not cowardly when he first meets the saint. After returning home, he mastered the backyard of Niu Co Lu Mansion in a few months. It can be seen that he is capable.
"The student is exactly!" Ying Qi didn't say much. Because it is said that this master is very particular about the rules.
"Come in. Jin Zhu went in on his own. Ying Qi followed.
Jin Zhu glanced at it, and saw that all the ladies were already seated in their seats, and only the front seat on the right was left.
"Miss Niu Colu, take a seat. Jin Zhu didn't say anything and went to the podium.
After Ying Qi saluted, she walked to the seat.
"Hello master!" the crowd saluted to the seats next to the golden beads. Since the princess's body is revered by the golden beads, and the ladies may also be the princess in the future, they all represent the salute.
"Hello princess! Hello ladies!" Jin Zhu returned the salute sideways.
Then sit down en masse. Everyone's eyes looked at Ying Qi's position for a while.
Ying Qi sat down indifferently, and then she heard a tearing sound, the stool was coated with rice glue, and the skirt was glued to the stool.
"Ah, you see she's sitting down. If you look at it and get up later, you have to be ugly. A couple of girls whispered.
Everyone was shaking their heads, looking stupid. Then the class began.
That's all for today. "Mengxue finished speaking, it was all simple Mengxue literacy, but Yingqi could barely understand it.
As soon as the teacher left, everyone got up. Look at the direction of Yingqi as if nothing.
"Do you need help?" a girl dressed in a goose yellow flag with bright eyes and bright teeth came to Ying Qi. Behind him were two girls.
Ying Qi looked up at her and smiled slightly. "Thank you, sister. Then gently twist the two buttons from the left and right waists. A layer of skirt sat comfortably on the stool, and it didn't affect her pleated skirt in the slightest. It's like taking off an identical coat.
"Huh!" Several of the girls laughed.
"My name is Niu Co Lu Yingqi, I don't know what my sisters call me?" asked Yingqi politely.
"My name is Nalan Hanxue. This is Tong Jialuyao, and she is also your cousin. This is Zhang Panlan, Zhang Xiang's granddaughter. Nalan Hanxue smiled lightly.
Nalan Hanxue, the granddaughter of Prince Kang. Tong Jialuyao, Amalong Keduo, the current deputy capital of the Blue Banner, this Ying Qi is very impressive, and was called Uncle Long Keduo by Yinzhen in the later period, which shows the close relationship with Yinzhen. Zhang Panlan, Zhang Xiang's granddaughter. The current Zhang Xiang is naturally the famous Zhang Ying, that is, Zhang Panlan's father is Zhang Tingyu, who will be known as the veteran of the Three Dynasties in the future.
Ying Qi silently thought about these connections in her heart, but for a moment.
"Sister Hanxue, Cousin Lu Yao, Sister Panlan!" Ying Qi stood up again and saluted.
"Don't dare to be. The three of them hurriedly returned the courtesy.
Zhang Panlan shook the beauty fan and smiled: "We are still afraid that our sister will be bullied, looking at this appearance, my sister has already prepared." ”
"No, no, it's just a child's trick. Ying Qi smiled.
"Ouch, Xiang Lan, people say you're a kid's trick. Saren didn't know when he stood by and listened to the conversation between several people. Laughing at Xiang Lan.
"Who is the child? You are older than me?" Xiang Lan is used to it, but it doesn't matter if he is a favored princess or not.
"Y-what are you angry at me. It's not to boast about yourself, saying that everyone is afraid of you, and the newcomers don't have to be bullied by you, why, you can't handle a little country girl?"
Ying Qi was really speechless. Sure enough, they were all children, arguing like this in front of everyone.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. It's still early. Hmph!" Xiang Lan said and turned to Ying Qi, "Don't think it's too good to please my brother, I've seen too much of people like you." Tell you, stay away from my brother sooner, maybe I can let you go. Otherwise, huh, we'll see. ”
God, is it a brother fetish girl, Ying Qi was a little speechless, but she didn't say much, just children, what can she care about with children.
"Sister Yingqi, you have to be more careful with this Xiang Lan, especially if you look at the Chu Rou next to her, that is Prince Gong's concubine, and she has the most ghost ideas. Xiang Lan is a forward rusher, and bad ideas are all from the beginning. Tong Jialuyao watched Xiang Lan and Saren walk away before whispering.
"Yes, my sister should stay away from them. It's a bunch of people. Zhang Panlan said.
"Sister Yingqi, don't be afraid, come to us at any time if you have anything. Nalan Hanxue said softly like a big sister.
"Thank you, sisters. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and if they have any schemes, I will follow. It's like a bucket or rice glue, but it's just a little bit of gadgets. Ying Qi said lightly.
"I'm glad you weren't fooled. But if you think about it, although it is all a little trick, but your dress is damaged, and there are princes and brothers outside, if they tell the queen that you have bad intentions and want to climb high branches or something, it will not ruin your reputation. Tong Jialuyao looked at her indifferently, for fear that she wouldn't understand, so she hurriedly explained.
"Well, my daughter's family is just a word of fame. Sister Lu Yao, I'll pay more attention. Ying Qi nodded, and did not refuse the kindness of the three.
