Chapter 5

"Zi said: 'If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty; Learning is not solid. The Lord is faithful, and he who has no friends is not as good as himself. Don't be afraid to change it. ’”

"Zi said: 'If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty; Learning is not solid. The Lord is faithful, and he who has no friends is not as good as himself. Don't be afraid to change it. ’”

"Zeng Zi said: 'Be cautious and chase the distance, and the people's morality will be good.'" ”

"Zeng Zi said: 'Be cautious and chase the distance, and the people's morality will be good.'" ”

"Birds ask the ......"

The sound of reading from the open inner room to the outer room, and through the window, you can vaguely see the gray-haired Taifu who is nearly fifty years old shaking his head and reading on the stage, sometimes smiling, sometimes with a stern face, completely immersed in the book.

In the audience, the students who were dressed in distinguished clothes also recited the classics of the sages one by one, but compared to the concentration and piety of the Taifu, these students were quite different.

A few small ones coincidentally chose the last position, while listening to the Taifu reading while secretly doing their own little things, some were stealing pastries, some were scribbling, and some were looking out the window in a daze, but none of them were focused on the books.

The other older ones were all sitting in the front position, although they seemed to be reading very seriously, their eyes were focused, their reading voices were clear, and from time to time they still learned to shake their heads with Taifu, just looking at the words on their heads, Xiao Xing shook her head with a sigh.

What are these princes thinking about one by one?

"Fifth Prince: Why are you not even ten years old?! Why?! I'm nine years old, why do I even have to read with these little kids! ”

"The Sixth Prince: Hugh Muri always passes so fast, I miss the Keju pitcher paper kite and bamboo dragonfly~"

"The Seven Princes: There is only a quarter of an hour left before the rest, hold on, hold on, and there will be crystal agate, sugar steamed cheese, honey egg rolls, cream dumplings, and my favorite red bean cake!"

"Eighth Prince: Why doesn't Taifu give lectures at night, then I can sleep well, I'm so sleepy, zzz......"

Looking at His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, who was already drowsy with his head on the table behind his textbook, Xiao Xing cast a sympathetic glance, Taifu's lecture was really boring, at least after listening to it for a while, even she was a little sleepy standing outside.

Yes, Xiao Xing is standing in the outer room of the upper study now.

Although she had already had a premonition about being on duty in the study, Xiao Xing still didn't expect that the princes would have to guard the door when they were studying, although this guard was not the other guard, but no matter how nice it sounded, she was still a gatekeeper.

And there are more than a dozen people guarding the door with her, all of whom are palace maids and servants of several highnesses, and their duty is to serve tea, water and snacks when several highnesses are resting.

At this time, there was still a quarter of an hour before the rest, and many palace maids were already restless, and just when the time was about right, one of the palace maids got up and said, "We should go." ”

Saying that, several other palace maids also got up together, Xiao Xing was a little ignorant, but looked at Jasper, who had just become familiar with her, and walked out with her.

After getting out of the door and walking to the path, several palace maids scattered back and forth, Xiao Xingcai asked in a small voice with some doubts, "This is?" ”

Jasper is the maid of the Sixth Highness, the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness have a good relationship, Jasper naturally has a natural affection for Xiao Xing, at this time seeing Xiao Xing puzzled, he also explained, "There is a quarter of an hour to rest, His Royal Highness is to drink tea and eat snacks, tea can be boiled outside, but dim sum can not be made, it is necessary to go to the catering department to get it, this time must be grasped well, not after His Highness takes a rest, otherwise wouldn't His Highness wait for us?" If you go early, the taste of the dim sum will be affected when it is cold, so we always go to pick it up a quarter of an hour before the break. ”

The little apricot chick pecked the rice and nodded, indicating that she understood, and her round apricot eyes were full of sparkling light, "Thank you, Sister Biyu." ”

Biyu also laughed, even if she didn't talk about the relationship between the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness, Xiao Xing's bun face was also very impressive.

The distance to the study is not close to the catering division, but the palace maids have been trained since childhood, and how to walk gracefully and quickly is already a compulsory course for everyone, so at this moment, even if they are close to the speed of trotting, the palace maids' movements are still with unhurried elegance, but in seven or eight minutes, they have already arrived at the catering division.

The palace people of the catering department have already prepared the dim sum, and at this moment it is just the time for the palace people of each highness to choose by themselves, Xiao Xing recalled the text frame before the Seventh Highness, and accurately and quickly prepared the crystal agate, sugar steamed cheese, honey egg roll, cream dumpling, and favorite red bean cake that the Seven Highnesses wanted to eat into the food box, but when it was loaded, Xiao Xing found that the position of the food box was not enough!

Each kind of dim sum is decorated with different small plates, the food box only has three layers, and can only hold three plates of dim sum, and the Seven Highnesses want to have five kinds, what can I do? You can't ask other palace maids to help you get it.

Looking at the jasper next to her who had already filled the snack with quick movements, Xiao Xing turned her head and frowned a little distressed, but when she looked at the plate that made her distressed, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, although the space in the food box was not enough, but it could be plattered.

So in the swift movements of several palace maids, Xiao Xing also set up her own plate, a plate of crystal agate and sugar steamed cheese, a plate of honey egg rolls and cream dumplings, and a single plate of red bean cake that His Royal Highness Seven's favorite.

After it was loaded, Xiao Xing took the rich variety and full of food boxes back to the pantry outside the study, and just a minute or two after they returned, the Taifu announced a break, and Xiao Xing also carried the food box into the inner room with the palace maids and sisters.

The inner room was even more open than it looked, and the large trees by the window blocked the sunlight, leaving only a cool breeze blowing in, which seemed extraordinarily quiet, and with the arrival of Xiao Xing and the palace maids, this tranquility was quickly broken and turned into noise.

A few small ones who are only two or three years old have long been unable to help it, and when the time for a nap is up, they will immediately drag the palace maid and the little maid out to play, and the four highnesses who are already more than five years old in front of them are more calm, but their sitting posture is slightly loose, but they are still sitting in place, obviously not planning to mix with the two or three-year-old ghosts.

And Xiao Xing had already taken out the food box at this time and laid out the plates inside one by one.

There are already rules for dim sum for a break, generally there are only a few, except for the red bean cake that must be ordered every time, His Royal Highness is not particularly interested in other dim sum, well, in fact, he likes all of them, but as soon as this dim sum came out today, it made His Royal Highness Seven can't help but sigh.

Because two of these three snacks are different!

In the past, it was very delicate dim sum that contrasted with the plate, but this time it was very crowded, crystal agate and sugar steamed cheese were squeezed on a plate, honey egg rolls and cream dumplings were also mixed together, plus the red bean cake next to it, these three plates of dim sum were full of weight, rich in variety, and just what he wanted to eat, which suddenly made him squint his eyes with some happiness, and even the words on his head changed.

"A lot of snacks, so happy ̄▽ ̄"

His Royal Highness Seven's praise obviously made Xiao Xing very happy, although he was still a child in her eyes, but this child was now her boss, so satisfying her boss was naturally what she had to do.

And the happiness of the Seventh Highness naturally also affected the Sixth Highness next to him, when he found that the snacks of the Seventh Highness were different, the Sixth Highness's eyes suddenly lit up, "Little Seven, you have a lot of dim sum, I want to eat it too." ”

His Royal Highness the Sixth and Seventh Highnesses are the closest in age, and the relationship is naturally the best, and His Royal Highness the Seventh is in a good mood at this time, except for his favorite red bean cake, the other two plates are taken out and eaten with the Sixth Highness.

Although it tastes delicious when eaten alone, it always lacks a little taste, but when two people eat together, the mood is different.

Unlike the taciturn of the Seventh Highness, the Sixth Highness is a very lively and talkative person, and he can't help but talk even when eating.* The Fifth Highness is learning to write, and the Eighth Highness is sleeping, so only the gushing voice of the Sixth Highness comes out of the entire inner room.

"Crystal agate is really soft and elastic, and today it is actually berry flavored, sweet and sour, delicious and delicious."

"The sugar steamed cheese is so soft, there are walnuts and raisins in it, it has a milky flavor, Xiaoqi, do you want to try it?"

"The honey egg roll is crispy and fragrant, and it is also added with sesame seeds, I like this crispy and crunchy food the most!"

"The creamy dumplings are really my favorite, well, this rich sweet milk flavor melts on the tip of the tongue......"

The Sixth Highness was eating and describing the feeling of eating with his expression, which was very busy, but the Fifth Highness next to him couldn't help it.

His Royal Highness is a very serious person, very talented in reading, since he entered the study, every time he took the exam, he would be praised by the Taifu, praised by the father, praised by the mother, the Taifu once said that if he was not born in the royal family, a jinshi in the future is absolutely indispensable, which also makes the Fifth Highness more and more interested in learning.

Unlike these little children next to him, His Royal Highness the Fifth is very scheming, his goal is not to be an idle prince in the future, he wants to be a prince with real power!

But when the prince of real power not only wants the love of his father, but also the ability to match enough, so the fifth prince has worked hard in this direction since he was a child, because his mother is not obvious, he has to redouble his efforts, and he is unwilling to stop for a moment, and even a break is used by him to practice calligraphy.

As we all know, the best environment for practicing calligraphy is quiet, although it was a little noisy in the past, it was also within the tolerance range of His Royal Highness Five, but today, Xiao Liu is too much!

Knowing that he pushed all the dim sum tea for a nap, he focused on learning words, and kept chattering next to him, and what was even more hateful was that he actually described how delicious the dim sum was!

God knows that he didn't eat much of today's morning food, his stomach was a little empty, and he finally resisted the temptation of dim sum, and Xiao Liu also described the taste and texture of those dim sums, which made the saliva of the Fifth Highness continue to secrete, and the appearance of dim sum gradually appeared in his mind, fantasizing if he bit into it, would it taste really good......

Even the words in the pen were written as "crystal agate" because of an inattention, and when this was discovered, the fifth highness, who didn't want to stay in the upper study anymore, was finally angry.

This is absolutely unbearable!

The angry Fifth Highness clumped the paper into a ball and threw it directly on the ground, and the paperweight fell under the force, making a crisp sound, and the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness next to him were suddenly stunned, "Fifth brother? ”

The Fifth Highness ignored the astonishment of the two, but directly brushed his sleeves out, and when passing by the two, the long sleeves scraped across the desk, and the two plates placed on the table suddenly fell down with the force, and among them, there was the red bean cake that His Highness Seventh loved and was ready to eat at the end.

The plate shattered, the red bean cake also fell to the ground, and His Highness Seven's eyes changed instantly, it was his favorite and was going to be left for the last to eat, but he didn't eat a piece and fell off......

There are only two quarters of an hour to take a break, and now a quarter of an hour has passed, and it is absolutely too late to get another red bean cake, and the mother concubine has recently restricted him from eating sweets, that is, he has no red bean cake for a day!

All gone!

The Seventh Highness was already heartbroken, especially at this moment, the Fifth Highness not only apologized, but also snorted heavily, which made the Seventh Highness's sadness suddenly turn into anger.

Dare to hum him if he loses his red bean cake, His Royal Highness the Seventh also has a temper!

So after staying with the concubine Niangniang for a long time, the Seventh Highness, who had completely believed that the fist was the last word, unexpectedly went directly to the fist and hit the nose of the Fifth Highness, and although the Fifth Highness was blindfolded at first, he naturally had to fight back after being beaten, so he also got on the fist, and the Sixth Highness was still persuading the fight at first, but after receiving a punch, he also joined the battle circle, so Xiao Xing was staying in the pantry, and he heard the palace people in the inner room shouting, "The fight is up, the fight is up!" ”

Fighting? What's going on?

And when he looked out the window, he found that three His Highnesses dressed in yellow were already rolling into a ball, and one of them had a display on his head: "Damn you are greedy, I will call you greedy, I will call you greedy!" The other shows "Wow, who hit me, whew, it hurts, whew, hiss, ah............h

Xiao Xing: "......"
