24. The Four Princes
When the four princes changed their clothes, saw their mother, and returned to the house, Shuheng fell into silence in an extremely rare way. He first turned a few pages of the book before a pair of words, and then heard the bell ringing, and turned around and around, but Shuheng still didn't respond, and he finally couldn't hold it back. Clearing his throat, he looked at Shuheng sternly, looking like he was doing business. "The concubine said, let me play with you. Although people like me have always disdained to play children's games, for the sake of your young age, I reluctantly agreed. ”
"So you're completing the task assigned by Aunt Guifei?"
The fourth prince nodded: "-It seems to be so." "Why does it feel like you're digging your own grave?
"Then I will cooperate with you to complete this task, what reward will you give me?" Shuheng laughed at the thief.
"What do you want?" I always feel like I've fallen in.
Seeing Shu Heng's eyes on the big lion, Xiao Si was surprised: "Are you going to move this lion home?" It can't be eaten. ”
"Do I look like such a glutton?" Shuheng was dissatisfied.
The fourth prince pinched her chubby face: "I said no, do you believe it yourself?" ”
Shu Heng took a deep breath and turned around: "I want you to put a label on it, marking: "This prince visually inspects this is a female beast" and imprint your private seal. ”
The four princes wordlessly stroked the lion's dense splendid mane. "Are you trying to sue someone that I'm blind?"
"I'm trying to remind people that you like to refer to deer as horses!" Shu Heng looked excited, and the little flesh on his body shook.
The fourth prince took a deep breath, abandoned all his innate integrity, and put on a "flattering" smile: "Miss Yuan Shuheng, you are really slender and slender, jade and snow exquisite, comparable to the little flying swallow on the beam, and the snow body is light in the wind dance." ”
Is this me? Be! The future me. Shu Heng nodded with satisfaction: "For the sake of your discernment, I will let you go with great mercy." ”
The Fourth Prince: It's so big, it's a bead.
Shu Heng suddenly remembered something, patted his head and sighed: "I forgot to get down to business." After that, he took a step back, saluted respectfully, and solemnly said: "Your Royal Highness, the courtiers have a birthday with you, I wish you good health, progress in your studies, happiness every day, and excellence in every homework." ”
"Hurry up, please." When the fourth prince heard what she said interestingly, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I really want to be excellent in every door, then the other brothers have to hate me to death." Look at the eldest brother, because his father loves him and can martial arts, he often takes a safari, and he is almost sour to death by others, and now he doesn't even touch us. ”
Shu Heng smiled: "Do you care about this? Look at the good things I gave you. Shuheng took out a cat puppet from the splendid blessing bag he brought with him. This cat doll is made of pine wood, delicate and sturdy, with round eyes and long whiskers, and the depiction is lifelike, and the whole is painted in soap gray mixed yellow-brown stripes. If you have a fellow in the 21st century, you can recognize it, this cat puppet is not ordinary, it is a Tom cat that has occupied the memory of many people's mobile phones.
The fourth prince originally thought that she was going to take something good, but when she saw it clearly, she suddenly cried and laughed: "I'm seven years old, don't play this." You'd better keep it for your unborn little brother. ”
Shuheng shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary cat, it is a talking Tom cat." She lifted the cat puppet up, and as soon as she pulled the tail behind it, the cat's mouth opened, and a red lacquer piece the size of a copper plate was spit out, with two lines of words on it with gold lacquer lines: "Don't worry about Qin Qiong selling horses, and look at the willows and flowers." Pulling the tail again, the cat opened its mouth and spit out a piece again, but it was "slander me?" I'm happy. ”
"It's interesting." The fourth prince hurriedly took it, and was about to stretch out his hand to pull his tail but was stopped by Shuheng: "If you encounter something unhappy, then pull it, it's good, don't drag it." The fourth prince gave up this time, and after a while of excitement, he asked, "How did you come up with such a novel method?" ”
"It's not me. It's the Luban Bureau. Shuheng said honestly: "The last time I went to see Sister Shuyue, I accidentally mentioned this idea. I don't know how many skilled craftsmen have been gathered under Brother-in-law Shen, and they have really made it. But these eighty-eight sixty-four small vermilion pieces are written by themselves. ”
The four princes have received a lot of gifts today, or books or paintings, or clothes and toys, or pearl agate, all of which are not as good as this intention, and now I feel that this little cousin is really loved, no wonder even my father likes her.
When Concubine Yuan invited the four princes to dinner, the two children were lying there playing with pitchers. The four princes are familiar with this game, and they are even more accurate after learning arrows. However, Shuheng has the good feel and wonderful luck of the park ring in his previous life, and he can chase after him step by step. Now that the competition is fierce, Shuheng took the feather-tailed Zhemu Xiaoya and weighed it again, ready to tie the score of 7 to 8 again.
She snorted softly and was about to make a move, when Aunt Guifei walked in, and saw the pair of dragons and bronze curved belly pots with four god patterns, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes. Shuheng's hand shook, and the silver arrow struck the body of the pot and fell to the ground. The fourth prince laughed and stretched out his hand to pull her little mustache: "Who said just now that he was invincible all over the world?" That's what I'm looking at now. Shu Heng first glanced at Concubine Yuan with resentment, and then saved his head from the clutches of the devil, and was depressed: When will you taste my milk dragon claw hand, I promise to let you throw away your armor and cry for mercy.
Concubine Yuan took out all the arrows, put them back into the silver-mouthed moire ebony quiver, picked up the curved belly pot and carefully checked it, wiped it with a handkerchief, put it back on the treasure shelf, and laughed at the four princes: "I thought that no one would do this kind of thing since Nezha took a bath with Chaotian Aya, who knew that this is a good one, you found it to throw the pot." This is a cultural relic of the Zhou Dynasty, an out-of-print antique. The object of her hatred is the fourth prince, because in the heart of the concubine, girls have always been well-behaved and cute, and such a naughty and naughty thing must have been done by boys. But in fact, it was picked out of the shelf, and he liked it to be thick and simple. also complained that Shuheng was too stupid, she only looked at the agate plate jade bowl was valuable, but she didn't know that this unsightly rough pot was also so famous. Why did you take out the ancestor of the pot as soon as you took it in your hand?
The fourth prince must be knowledgeable, so he didn't even remind himself. Thinking like this, Shuheng cast a resentful glance at the four princes. The fourth prince received the signal, and he was very wrong: "The mother concubine is too careful." This pot is also put away, and after being put aside for so long, it can be regarded as making the best use of things. ”
Shu Heng slammed his head on the table on the side: You quickly admit your mistakes and be a good baby, and force words to reason for something. Seeing this, the fourth prince thought that she was ashamed and embarrassed, so he smiled at her, made persistent efforts, and said with relief, "Although this thing is precious, it cannot be reflected even if it is put in vain." Today's leisure, the guest smiled, its effect has been extraordinary, even if you sleep in Jiuquan, you should be blind. Shuheng touched his head to the table again in despair.
Concubine Yuan was stunned at first, and then poked a finger at the door of his head, as if she had been with Mrs. Yuan for a long time, and she had also contracted this habit. "I read more books, but I became more and more naughty and learned to quibble. There are eyes without beads, tyrannical things, carefully the father and the emperor train you. The fourth prince and her are not their own mother and son, but they are better than their own mother and son, and she is actually not angry, and said with a smile: "My father will not discipline me for this anymore"
Immediately bowed down and got out from under her sleeve, and shouted, "It's time to eat, it's too late." This sentence was obviously addressed to Shu Heng, who immediately slipped off the kang and ran out. Without him, she really dared to snatch away all her favorite food. What about the royal decency that is good? Do you still want an identity?
Concubine Yuan watched her little niece run towards her, her face was full of loving smiles, and she opened her warm embrace, who expected that Shuheng did the same action as the fourth prince, and got out from under her sleeve, without even bowing down - she was short. Concubine Yuan froze there suddenly, her delicate face was full of resentment: It's all the little naughty who brought the little cutie to ruin, and I returned my soft and cute little buns-
In fact, on the contrary, it was Shuheng who brought the four princes to ruin. In the early days, the fourth prince was a well-behaved and well-behaved person, and he could be called a model child for the prince. When other children were still touching fish, catching birds, bare-buttocks, fighting crickets, he began to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, chess, calligraphy and painting, not crying, not naughty, not making mistakes, not messing with the rules, in a word: other people's children! (It's really someone else's) but Concubine Yuan didn't think so, in her heart, her son Bai had a good skin, which was really not cute at all. To say that the way she gets along with the four princes is really quite amazing.
One day, Concubine Yuan held a dish to shed tears in the wind, and educated her son affectionately: "Since ancient times, Jingwei reclamation Yugong moved mountains and drips water through stone and iron pestles into needles. Today, I set up the ambition of Jingwei, follow the trip of Yugong, eat the bitterness of dripping water, use the skill of grinding the pestle, and after one hundred and eight failures, finally successfully pass the bean sprouts through the ham. It can really be said that the emperor lives up to his wishes, and the work is naturally achieved in the depths. In the face of this situation, how does Wu'er feel? ”
The Fourth Prince: "Regardless of the wasted ten plates of bean sprouts and three hams, the mother concubine really doesn't have to say it so deeply and movingly." ”
The surrounding is quiet and can drop the needle, and all the palace people look at the nose and nose as the background board. With a snap, a plate of ham meat was sprinkled on the brocade python robe of the four princes. Concubine Yuan covered her mouth and shouted: "Ah, yes, Your Royal Highness, you can have a lot of Haihan, who made the mother concubine clumsy." ”
The Fourth Prince: "-"
Another day, Concubine Yuan called the four princes to her with a smile, with a bamboo slip and a bundle of bamboo slips in front of her. "Come, I break it." The four princes' jade white fingers moved slightly, and the bamboo slips broke in response. Concubine Yuan was very satisfied, and handed over a bundle of bamboo slips: "Wu'er, break it." ”
The four princes held the bamboo slips in both hands and were speechless for a long time.
Concubine Yuan was proud, embarrassed, right? Dumbfounded, right? The bear kid doesn't understand, right? So she coughed lightly and began to class: "Wu'er, the sage trained well, the single tree is easy to break, and the bundle is difficult to break." Everyone picks up the wood and the flame is high, and the brothers work together to break the gold. I want to live in harmony with all the royal brothers and forge ahead together, don't-"
Before Concubine Yuan's words were finished, the four princes had already taken out the Persian golden knife that His Majesty had just given, and the knife fell in his hand, and a bundle of bamboo slips broke together with a bang, and looked at the stammering mother concubine and said plainly: "Man is the head of all spirits, and the difference with other animals is that he knows how to use tools." ”
Once again, the room is quiet and can drop the needle, and the eyes and noses of the people in the palace serve as the background board. Concubine Yuan cried clearly, and fainted on the couch: "Oh, poor my Xiangfei bamboo hairpin flowers, I worked hard for my mother to copy the out-of-print recipes for a whole month, and it was ruined without opening my eyes." ”
The Fourth Prince: "-"
It is really commendable to meet such a mother and concubine, and the fourth prince is still healthy and thriving.
