Chapter 60: Stealing the limelight
Before the time came to night, Chu Shuhuang practiced his fists and kicks over and over again in the study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info according to the method of Hua Changjiao to use the internal strength of the heart method, the move contains a kind of momentum that seems to be nothing, and it is flexible and powerful, swaying freely, sending and receiving from the heart.
After practicing for more than half an hour, Chu Shuhuang stopped and meditated cross-legged, which did not end until more than an hour later.
Even if you can't become a martial arts master by practicing like this, it's no problem to protect yourself, it's all the credit of Hua Chang!
Speaking of which, all her achievements today are inseparable from Hua Chang's support, but why is he such an awkward character? Forget it, none of that matters, being angry is also torturing yourself, so let's do the right thing.
Due to Chu Shuhuang's young age, she came and went freely at many palace banquets, and whether she participated or not was as she liked. Only the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a celebration of family reunion, always has to stay for a while, and the queen arranged it when she was very young.
Over the years, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner has been held in Huaqing Palace, and this year is no different.
Chu Shuhuang was dressed in a pink and blue group embroidered smoke and purple peony medicine palace costume, and next to him was Princess Changyang who was dressed in a light red flowing cloud brocade palace costume, Chu Huang only had these two princesses, and the two sisters also got along well. At this time, the emperor and queen had not yet arrived, and the banquet had not yet begun, and the two were muttering and laughing together.
"I heard that my newly returned cousin gave you a restaurant?" Princess Changyang said with a calm face.
"yes, it's going to open tomorrow. My sister will go over and sit down one day to add some blessings to my small shop. Chu Shuhuang looked at Princess Changyang and said with a grin.
"Well, don't think I'm poor, I don't have any money, you have to lose money if you have to eat!" After speaking, Princess Changyang also giggled.
"If you can't ask for it, you must let my sister eat to the fullest."
Princess Changyang changed the topic and said, "How did you and Jiang Li of the Jiang family meet?" ”
Chu Shuhuang said: "I happened to meet when I was in Puning Temple, and I helped Ah Li, and I got to know each other." I don't have any friends, so I think she's good, so I keep along. Where is comparable to my sister, I have three or five friends everywhere. ”
Princess Changyang deliberately annoyed: "You yourself don't want to associate with those people, and you rely on me in turn!" This Jiang girl seems to be also a noble character, suddenly rich, still able to maintain her true nature, and treat you sincerely, those people together are not worth your Ali! In the end, Princess Changyang actually felt a little sour, shook her head, and threw it to the back of her head.
Although Princess Changyang is exaggerating, most of them are flatterers around them, and it is indeed rare to have a friend with a true temperament.
Without waiting for Chu Shuhuang to say anything, the palace people announced loudly: "The emperor and queen have arrived-"
Everyone in the hall got up to greet the emperor, and after sitting down again, Emperor Chu looked at the empty seat of the prince's seat and frowned: "Why hasn't it arrived yet?" ”
The prince's seat is opposite the public chairman, and it is the three princes who are vacant.
Concubine Su hurriedly got up and saluted: "Please forgive the emperor, Ming'er didn't mean it, maybe something unexpected stumbled." ”
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and it was the third prince Chu Shuming who walked into the hall.
With a clear face, a tall figure, wearing a wide brocade robe with a moon-white dark embroidered cloud python pattern, with a silver-white embroidered gold floral pattern belt, and stepping on the cloud dragon black-soled boots, he was refreshed and full of the warm demeanor of a merry and talented man.
With a faint smile on his face, if he wasn't dressed in the prince's formal attire, he was afraid that he would be considered a jade son, "After the son participated in the father and the queen mother, the son was late, and asked the father and the queen mother for the guilt." ”
"What are you doing?" Emperor Chu's voice could not hear joy or anger.
"Father, there is a man on Suzaku Street who sets up a stage to meet friends with poems, and the sons and daughters are itchy and try, but they delay the time, and ask their father to punish them."
"Poetry to meet friends?"
"Yes, father, there is a son from out of town, who has published a few and a half poems, and arranged seven levels from easy to difficult, to see who can break through to the end."
Emperor Chu nodded, waved his hand, let the third prince sit in his seat, and then asked, "Can someone clear the customs?" ”
The third prince wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little ashamed, but his eyes were full of energy: "Erchen is ashamed, he failed to break through to the sixth level, but he was not convinced, so he delayed the time." There are really people who have cleared the customs, and they are also talented people from other places, but it's a pity that Erchen left in a hurry and couldn't see the demeanor of these talents. After speaking, he was full of regret.
The eldest prince said: "The third brother is not only sensitive and studious, with outstanding knowledge, but also broad-minded, so he should set an example for the prince." The sons implore their father and the emperor to forgive the third brother, if all the princes can have the mind of the third brother, my Chu country will definitely be full of talents. ”
Chu Shuhuang remembered another thing, there were too many things in those days, and he actually forgot about it, it was now the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was about to be cold, so it was good to solve it as soon as possible.
Emperor Chu noticed that Chu Shuhuang's expression was different, and asked, "What's wrong with Huang'er, is the banquet unappetizing?" ”
Chu Shuhuang hurriedly saluted and said: "Let my father and emperor worry, my sons and ministers are fine, but I just heard what the third emperor brother said, and I remembered one thing." ”
Emperor Chu laughed and said, "What worries Huang'er? Speak up and let us all hear it. ”
"Father, a few days ago, I heard that every year, some students who enter Beijing to take the exam will stay in the capital to take the exam next year. However, many of these students stranded in the capital are from poor families, and their lives are very embarrassing. Erchen thought that these people were all excellent local children, if they could arrange some errands for them, and make a modest contribution to the Chu State, they would also be able to have no worries about food and clothing, and they could inspire the hearts of students across the country. ”
Chu Shuhuang had just finished speaking, and the queen scolded: "Nonsense, the affairs of the government are something that your little girl's family can discuss casually?" ”
The emperor waved his hand to stop the queen, "These moves have no official position, they are not a matter of government affairs, just chatter." Then he asked Chu Shuhuang, "What kind of errand do you think will be more suitable?" ”
Chu Shuhuang looked at the emperor and said softly: "Back to my father, my sons think that there are many people's children who can't afford to go to school, and these people are all handsome and talented, if you can let these talented people teach the people's children to read, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Shuhuang looked at everyone, and the second prince, the fifth prince and all the concubines were silent, as if they didn't exist and had never heard of it. Concubine Su's face was gloomy, and the third prince didn't have an obvious expression, but his eyes didn't have the look just now.
Chu Shuhuang really didn't mean to steal his limelight, he just remembered it, but since he robbed it, he didn't regret it. No matter how kind your face is, you are also a political enemy, and in the near future, it will be a life-and-death situation, and you can only harm yourself if you are soft-hearted.
Emperor Chu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Although Huang'er is young, she has a heart that loves the people, which is really rare. Come! Go and take the seal script of Yan Li, the calligrapher of the previous dynasty, and give it to Princess Shengping. ”
