Chapter 4 Know the other

This hurried morning, Xia Ruqian was really tired, not physically exhausted, but mentally exhausted! Xia Ruqian felt that it was really difficult to adapt to such an atmosphere and rhythm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info suddenly hugged the female compatriots of this era.

After lunch, Xia Rushin nested on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

When I first arrived, I fell into such a situation, and I was also drunk!

What should I do?

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent to win all battles.

Yes, you should first get to know them well!

The first one is the Nine Princes!

However, if he was a normal soul, would it seem too abrupt to suddenly ask about the Nine Princes?

"Hey, the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince, what kind of person are you?"

"The Ninth Prince?"

"That's right." Xia Ruqian didn't check, but she said it, and she immediately opened her eyes in panic.

Yun Duo leaned over curiously, his face full of ill intentions: "Little, uh, no, princess, didn't you tell me not to inquire about the prince?" ”

Xia Ruqian was speechless for a while, and his eyes rolled twice: "Ahem, before that time!" Now I've changed my mind! Yunduo, what gossip have you collected again? Let's hear it, Miss Ben. ”

"The princess can't be the princess who fell in love at first sight, right?"

"Is the cloud itching?" Xia Ru raised his face and was serious.

Yun Duo stuck out his tongue and said: "The ninth prince Yi Junze is the second son of the current queen mother, the younger brother of the current emperor, and the only prince in this dynasty, because he ranks ninth among the elder brothers, everyone is calling the ninth prince and the ninth prince." ”

"Hmm." Xia Ruqian nodded, pretending: "This, I know!" ”

"I heard that in the battle for the throne that year, many elder brothers were implicated, those who were imprisoned, and those who were exiled were just in time for the barbarians to attack, and the queen mother asked the nine princes to guard the frontier, and the nine princes lived up to expectations, repelled the barbarians for 200 miles, and took the head of the enemy general."

No wonder he is tough, it turns out that he is really a strong man who has been on the battlefield.

"The good news is frequent, the first emperor is overjoyed, and he wants to reward him lavishly, but later I heard that the prince wrote that the idea of sending troops to deploy the formation was all made by the current emperor, and the canonization was postponed, but a lot of things were rewarded, and the prince was crowned the king or canonized after the emperor ascended the throne. Later, the prince has been staying in the frontier, and he was only recalled to Beijing two years ago. ”

Yun Duo scratched his head and said: "As soon as the prince came back, the ladies and beauties in Kyoto were crazy, all kinds of posts for the moon and spring banquets were flying, and the prices of rouge gouache and silk silk everywhere skyrocketed, but the prince didn't answer any posts anywhere, and the backyard of the palace was also very quiet, with only a few girls in the room." At that time, the young lady also said that the prince was a hypocrisy! ”

Xia Ruqian took a sip of tea from the teacup, and secretly calculated in his heart: since he shirked the reward of the emperor at that time, he should have no intention of taking the throne, then, there should be no conflict between him and the emperor. Even if it's not like siblings, it won't be like fighting each other.

Could it be that it was his father Xia Yilin who rebelled?

Phew!

Xia Ruqian immediately shook his head and shook this idea out of his mind, and laughed again: It is really rare that such a rich and handsome and second-generation official is not extravagant and promiscuous.

Thinking of the prince, I naturally thought of myself, how hard it is, just like reading a book, starting from the middle, I don't know what I said before, but it is very important, I can only guess out of thin air, it is really a test of brain power and courage.

The next few days compared to the previous rhythm were simply slow motion.

The Nine Princes never showed up again, and there were no visitors, Xia Ruqian nested leisurely in the small courtyard. The housekeeper has been here a few times, and once sent a group of maids and servants to summon her, Xia Ruqian was too lazy to care, and threw it to Yun Duo and asked her to watch the arrangement. I sent a list of plays at one time, saying that if you are bored in the palace, you can order a play to watch.

Xia Ruqian was very happy when she heard it, she was very bored, and she took over the play and watched it, and she was suddenly a little shocked. I really don't know a few traditional Chinese characters, if a similar situation occurs in the future, wouldn't it be exposed?! Xia Ruqian hurriedly sent away the housekeeper and called Zhuxiang to him.

"Zhuxiang, I want to practice a new font recently, which one do you think I should learn?" Xia Ru pondered and spoke.

"The princess's small seal is the best, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was often praised by the master, and the small seal was written in general, does the princess want to practice again?"

"Well, get up from where you fall! However, Xu is Xiao Seal is too easy to write, Xiao Kai just can't write well, you go and ask me to write a master! ”

"Yes, by the way, princess, I saw the piano that the master gave you in the dowry items, do you want to bring it to you?"

When Xia Ruqian heard this, her head was big, and she was really a beautiful girl, is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? ! But in the end, it was himself who was tormented!

I simply invited these teachers together. So I learned the piano in the morning, practiced dancing in the afternoon, and wrote in the evening. But you can't always ask a teacher to teach literacy, so you can look through the books when you have time, and use your previous memory of ancient poems to read and write.

One day, Xia Ruqian had just finished taking a guqin class, and the teacher left a volume of ancient scores and left, and Xia Ruqian had a headache holding the guqin.

It seems that the original one is very talented, and he has made a reputation! Recently, the gentleman who taught always started from the most essential place, Xia Ru was confused, so he could only read the primary ancient records by himself in private, in order not to reveal too many flaws, but he was tortured!

At this time, Xia Ruqian hugged the homework left by his husband and was very worried.

Zhuxiang trotted in, panting heavily: "Princess, princess, the palace has come to the decree!" Xuan you enter the palace? ”

"Declare me into the palace? Whose will? Does the prince know? ”

"It's the Queen Mother's decree, the prince knows, the carriage has been prepared, waiting to send you into the palace!"

Uh, this is going to make a move, right?!

Xia Ruqian sighed and said, "Help me make up!" ”

The courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

"This chrysanthemum is blooming so well today! The mourning family heard Mama Li say, Qing'er, you sent it to the palace? The Queen Mother held Ning Qing's hand very kindly.

"I remember the Queen Mother, you like this chrysanthemum the most! It is said to be generous and elegant, not kitsch. Yesterday, my brother came back from Jiangnan and brought a few plants, and I saw that there was no variety in our Kyoto, so I specially brought it into the palace for the Queen Mother to see! ”

"Well, it's still Qing'er's filial piety! The mourning family likes it very much! The Queen Mother looked at it again, and her face was full of joy, and she couldn't hide it.

"The Queen Mother has been standing for a while, do you want to sit down and rest? Qing'er makes tea for the Queen Mother? Ning Qing supported the Queen Mother and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard.

"That is, Miss Qing'er, who can persuade the Queen Mother." Mama Li smiled and laid out the cushion.

"What? You mean it's hard to serve the mourners?! The Queen Mother asked.
