The news that the fifth princess Zhou Mei was swept out of the house by the seventh princess Zhou Ying spread all over the four Qianxi institutes almost instantly.

Zhou Ying didn't know how the palace maids and eunuchs reacted, but Su Zhi served more respectfully, Zhou Mei retreated during class, Wei Concubine sent He Yi under the pretense of He Entering the school, and Xu Guifei specially sent a frightened jade pendant......

These all let Zhou Ying know that this Liwei is a success.

What Concubine Wei sent was nothing more than some silk and satin, the four treasures of the study, Zhou Ying only asked Su Zhi to send back to Mingxi Palace, but she left the jade pendant sent by Xu Guifei to play with. Zhou Mei pointed the jade pendant at the sun, only to see that it was white in color, clear in texture, and warm to the touch, even if Zhou Ying did not study luxury, she could see that it was very valuable.

What does Xu Guifei mean is to praise her for having Zhou Mei this time?

Zhou Ying took back the jade pendant into the embroidery bag, hid it in her underwear, and waited for Su Zhi to pack up the books and pen and ink, and returned to Mingxi Palace together.

Mingxi Palace is still magnificent, and it has not been returned for a day, as if it has been a lifetime apart. Zhou Ying took a deep breath, tightened the skin that had been loose because she hadn't mixed it under Xu Guifei's hands for a day, and went to the main hall to greet Xu Guifei.

Xu Guifei was wearing a silk mud gold peony Luo skirt, her hair bun was distracted by gold silk inlaid rubies, and her sideburns were swaying with gold inlaid jade beads, lazily crooked on the beauty couch, beckoning to Zhou Ying, "Xiao Qi is out of school, come, come and sit." ”

Zhou Ying saluted according to the rules, and then flew into Xu Guifei's arms like a nurse, "I haven't seen you for a day, I miss my mother so much." ”

Xu Guifei couldn't help laughing, rubbing Zhou Ying's face, "Mother Miss Xiao Qi very much, what did Xiao Qi do all day?" Can you understand what the Master is teaching? Does the four places in Qianxi live in harmony? Other princesses treat you and don't get along? ”

Zhou Ying praised the people and things she met that day, and in the end, her voice became lower and lower, "I quarreled with the fifth sister at noon and drove the fifth sister away." When I saw my fifth sister in the afternoon, I didn't greet her, I just pretended not to see her. ”

Xu Guifei said softly: "It's okay, it's noisy, the mother concubine will support you." ”

Seeing that Zhou Ying smiled at ease, Xu Guifei said countless comforting words before asking why the two sisters quarreled. Zhou Ying frowned and said the ins and outs, "Fifth sister coaxed me like a fool, and I won't be with her again." ”

In fact, the matter has been reported by Su Zhi, but of course Xu Guifei still has to listen to what the parties have to say.

Zhou Ying's words were not far from what Xu Guifei thought, and Xu Guifei asked again: "You used to be good with your fifth sister?" ”

"It's not good, in the past, the fifth sister often went to Xiuyu Palace, and every time she didn't tease me once or twice, it wouldn't be over, saying that she was going to subdue me and give her a follower, so I avoided it when I felt bad. This time, the fifth sister didn't mention this, and she was kind to me, I thought ......" Zhou Ying hung her head in frustration, "I know, she was good to me because she saw me become the daughter of the concubine." ”

"Well, we don't have to see her. The kind of villain who is condescending and respectful, don't do it. Xu Guifei touched the top of Zhou Ying's hair in distress.

"Well, I listen to the concubine." Zhou Ying nodded vigorously, "I have a mother concubine who loves me now, so it's not uncommon for them." ”

Zhou Ying took out the jade pendant given by Xu Guifei, and she was grateful for it. Xu Guifei saw that Zhou Ying was stored closely, of course she was satisfied, and Zhou Ying asked again: "Mother, Concubine Wei gave me a gift, what should I go back?" ”

"Your child's family, how many things can be, these human relations just have to be handed over to the mother concubine." Xu Guifei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhou Ying smiled sweetly.

The mother and daughter had a good meal again, when the sun went down, the emperor came to Mingxi Palace, Zhou Ying wanted to leave, Xu Guifei left Zhou Ying, and the three of them ate together.

Of course, the emperor's rules for eating are big, not only there are palace maids clothing vegetables, but also eunuchs testing poison, obviously there are only three people eating, but there are nearly 20 people serving inside and outside, so many people in the house, except for the sound of clothes rubbing, there is no sound at all.

After eating this meal, Zhou Ying almost had a stomachache.

After finishing the meal and rinsing their mouths, the three of them moved to the side hall to sit, Xu Guifei held Zhou Ying in her arms, so as to show Zhou Ying's school situation this day, and asked Su Zhi to take out Zhou Ying's big characters, "Look, the master also praised Xiaoqi for writing well." ”

Rao is Zhou Ying is not thin-skinned, and she can't help blushing at this time, "It's not well written, don't read it, concubine." ”

Xu Guifei raised her hand, for fear of being snatched away by Zhou Ying, and said with a smile: "You have only studied for ten days, and you can write like this, which is already very good." The concubine thinks that you write well, and it may be partial, but even the master praises you, then it must be good, don't believe it, ask your father to go. ”

Zhou Ying held her red face and tilted her head to look at the emperor, "What did my father say?" ”

The emperor was also happy to pass the time with his favorite concubine and daughter after the meal and share the joy of family, so he took Zhou Ying's big words and read them carefully. The big characters are crooked and inked, and they are really unsightly, but given that this child is still a beginner, and is blinking a pair of big eyes next to him, he is looking forward to it and looking at it with admiration......

The emperor was full of pride in being a father, and he was not easy to say things outright, so he racked his brains to find a place to praise, "It is indeed good to be able to write so many pages of large characters smoothly." Do you recognize all these words? ”

Zhou Ying smiled happily, "I know it, my father doesn't believe that he can test me." ”

The emperor accepted the advice from Shanruliu and prepared to take the school exam.

There were already palace maids who placed the four treasures of the study, Xu Guifei personally sharpened the inkstone, Zhou Ying stepped forward to try the pen, and wrote down a few paragraphs of today's new learning. The emperor looked at her from the side, and couldn't help but turn behind Zhou Ying and write a paragraph in her little hand.

When Zhou Ying stopped and looked at it again, it was really much better than what she wrote, and she couldn't help but ponder.

The palace maid brought a basin of hot water, and the emperor pointed while cleaning his hands: "Your posture of holding the pen is correct, but you don't need to use too much force when moving the pen, there is the so-called 'force on the tip of the pen', you can't stop the force on the forearm or fingers, but learn to transfer the force to the tip of the pen." ”

Zhou Ying nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand a little." ”

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Zhou Ying simply said, "I'll go back and try what my father said." As she spoke, she picked up the big characters she had just written, hurriedly saluted the emperor and Concubine Xu, and rushed out of the door with a look of impatience.

The emperor and Xu Guifei looked at each other and smiled, and stopped not mentioning it.

Zhou Ying returned to her study, first wrote the ten big characters left by Cheng Fuzi, plucked the strings, and scribbled a few strokes to count as paintings, before she completed the homework left by Master Zhuang in the afternoon, and she used the method taught by the emperor to practice the words for half an hour before freshening up and sleeping.

Gradually, Zhou Ying got used to getting up at four o'clock in the morning to go to school, and also got used to the interesting and unique teaching methods of the two masters.

In the school, Zhou Mei wanted to post it again later, but Zhou Ying didn't want to fight with the child anymore, so she simply reported to Xu Guifei and stayed away. The second princess Zhou Ke probably also heard the rumors, and took advantage of a break to invite the princes and princesses who were studying in the inner and outer study rooms, which was counted as Zhou Ying's reception banquet, and the guests and hosts were happy.

After this feast, Zhou Ying recognized her half-brothers and sisters.

Because of Xu Guifei's backing, no one embarrassed Zhou Ying in person, and because of Zhou Mei's experience, no one fooled her as a fool. After a feast, Zhou Ying also made a lot of good fate.

Seeing that the little day was getting on the right track little by little, Zhou Ying felt comfortable, and after the lunch break, she was the first to come to the inner study.

Zhuang Fuzi is a female master, when she was young, she was a talented woman who was famous in Kyoto, and her husband sang with her wife after she got married, just like a pair of fairy couples. It's a pity that the husband died early, and he was not allowed to be in the husband's family, and his mother's family was a brother and sister-in-law. It was meant to be a pastime, but she didn't expect her to become more and more famous, and even the emperor specially invited her to give a lecture to the princess.

Now Master Zhuang is not confused when he is over the age, but he is only thirty as promised, demure and elegant, amiable, and most loved by several princesses.

Although Zhou Ying feels that she is not the material of a talented woman, she cultivates every day and learns these piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, maybe one day she can have a chaste and elegant temperament, so she comes the most diligently every day.

On this day, Zhou Ying was still the earliest, took the brush, and started painting.

It didn't take long for the three princesses to come one after another, but Zhou Ying felt that something was wrong.

The second princess Zhou Ke has always been square, and she will not move at will as soon as she sits on the seat, but today Zhou Ke looked back at Zhou Ying three times. The third princess, Zhou Yao, has always been casual and doesn't like to deal with people, but today Zhou Yao took her brush and added a wonderful brush to her paintings. The fifth princess Zhou Mei also began to ignore Zhou Ying after showing her favor several times but hitting a wall, but today Zhou Mei smiled strangely at her again and again.

The movements of these three people made Zhou Ying a little uneasy.

Zhou Ying put down her paintbrush, put down her sleeves and left the study, came to the ear room and called out Su Zhi, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Su Zhi was embarrassed for a long time before he said: "The concubine is happy." ”
