Chapter 12: The Emperor is Coming

After breakfast, the eldest prince had to read the book for an hour, and he also had to learn the words of an hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingling casually opened the bookcase and placed a book on the top, with a bookmark in the book, the eldest prince read the ninth chapter of the Book of Poetry Nanfeng "Han Guang" yesterday.

For a six-year-old child, in addition to reading the Book of Poetry, he doesn't understand the meaning at all, and Qingling is to point out once or twice when he encounters words and phrases that the eldest prince doesn't know.

"There are arbors in the south, and there is no rest; Han has a wandering girl, unthinkable. The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. The wrong salary, the words are clear; The son of Yu is home, and his words are his horse. The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. Qiao Qiao ...... "The eldest prince was already tired of reading both sides repeatedly, his voice became smaller and smaller, and when he got to the back, he simply lay on the bookcase and stared at Qingling resentfully.

"Little tiger, you're tired, rest when you're tired. Little Tiger, have you ever been out of the palace? Qingling squeezed his eyes and asked tentatively.

The eldest prince pursed his lips impatiently, "Out of the palace, one day this prince will go out, can the real tiger be held in the high-walled compound?" ”

"Little Tiger is right. The eagle soars in the blue sky, the tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and the ambition of the prince is not what the palace can hold. In fact, this poem was memorized by the eleven poems of Zhou Nanzhong, and the slave maid could already recite it when she was six years old. The slave maid is also bored when she listens to it, why don't the slave maid tell the little tiger about the world of flowers outside the palace? Qingling blinked, and from the resentful expression of the eldest prince, it took a lot of effort to tame the little tiger in front of him.

"This prince has never been out of the palace, you are a palace maid, what do you know, dare to deceive this prince, the consequences are very serious!" The eldest prince's eyes showed a desire for the world outside the palace, but he scoffed at Qingling's words.

"Little tiger, you don't know this, the slave has lived outside the palace for more than ten years, has seen a lot of interesting things, and has been to a lot of interesting places, do you want the slave to talk about it?" The eldest prince is only six years old, and the female eunuchs of the plain palace are waiting carefully, but no palace maid and eunuch have ever dared to laugh in front of the eldest prince, although the eldest prince is noble, but the life is very monotonous and boring, Qingling's words are tantamount to breaking the stones of ordinary life, and the curiosity of six-year-old children has been aroused.

The grievance and boredom in the eyes of the eldest prince really faded, and he supported the soft white little face with both hands, rolled his eyes, and said slowly, "It's really interesting?" ”

Qingling told the eldest prince the story of Tian Ji's horse race, and said that he sold a pass at a critical moment, and asked the eldest prince to find a way to help Tian Ji win the race.

The eldest prince began to practice swords at the age of six because he wanted to become a majestic general one day, and he had long wanted to learn to ride a horse, and this story was right for the eldest prince's appetite.

He pouted and racked his brains and didn't think of a way to help Tian Ji win, turned his head and saw more than a dozen palace people in the hall quietly bowing their heads and obeying orders, and ordered angrily, "You guys, all give me ideas, the prince who comes up with a way will be rewarded, if you can't think of it, you look good!" ”

The palace maid and eunuch hulala knelt on the ground, gossiping and discussing and discussing and didn't come up with a good way to win, the angry prince rewarded a big-footed girl by himself, pouted angrily, and was unwilling to admit defeat, his eyes rolled and looked at Qingling, "Don't play, don't play, if you can't win, you can't win." ”

Qingling saw that the eldest prince wanted to win but was unwilling to admit defeat, so he smiled and laughed.

"Little Tiger, don't you play? If it's not the slave and maid who tell this story today, but your father, will you also play tricks in front of him? So many palace maids and eunuchs can't think of it, but the little tiger has a way to win, doesn't the little tiger's father like you more? ”

"How do you know that Sun Bin will definitely win?" The eldest prince stubbornly raised his head and asked.

When Qingling came in, he had already seen that there were a lot of books in the eldest prince's study, but because the eldest prince was still young, did he go into the study to ask the teacher to teach, and many good books were put in the dust.

As soon as she turned around, she took a book from the high bookshelf, opened the middle page, and put it in the hands of the eldest prince, "Of course you can win, Sun Bin not only helped Tian Ji win King Qi Wei's horse, but also helped Qi defeat the powerful Wei State, and became the head of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Little Tiger, do you want to be a brave and resourceful general like Sun Bin?" ”

People's feelings are very strange, the eldest prince admired Sun Bin in the story, and fell in love with the storyteller Qingling for no reason, and he thought that Qingling was as smart and resourceful as Sun Bin in his young heart.

When Qingling took the eldest prince for a walk after lunch, the eldest prince affectionately held Qingling's hand and kept asking this and that, and Qingling could also bring out some other topics interestingly.

This is the third time Qingling has come out of Fengzao Palace since he came to the palace, the first two times were sneaky, for fear of causing any trouble, this time it is different, you can hold the hand of the eldest prince, and the palace people follow behind her, and she can walk calmly and calmly every step.

After the marriage change, the shadow of Qinglou is still shrouded in Qingling's heart and cannot be dispersed, more than a month in the palace has passed in a miserable and helpless manner, at this moment this calmness comes completely from the young children around her, she savored it, no wonder the women of the harem have to compete for favor, and favor is the support of the harem women.

Does the imperial concubine really trust her? If there was a glimmer of trust, she would not be forced to swear a poisonous oath. If one day her existence threatens the position of the imperial concubine, he knows that the ship of Fengzao Palace will capsize.

But the love of this young child can bless her to live safely. Knowing this, Qingling had hope in her heart, and her eyes looking at the eldest prince were also extremely gentle.

The blue five-clawed golden dragon's cloud brocade suit is covered with a sable cloak, the waist is wrapped with a cat crystal jade belt, and the side wears a tassel and colorful auspicious cloud pendant. This child is the support of the imperial concubine, and it is also her dependence, she must hold it tightly in the palm of her hand.

"Sister, your hands are so cold!" The eldest prince raised his innocent little face, and at a young age, he learned to pity the people he liked.

Qingling touched the forehead of the eldest prince lovingly, and smiled, "You can't call Sister Slave, it's an aunt, because my aunt gave all the warmth to the little tiger, didn't the little tiger find out?" ”

"Jasmine, give me the hand stove." The eldest prince turned around, and the palace maids and eunuchs who followed behind hurriedly stopped their feet and bent down to listen to orders.

The eldest prince took the hand stove wrapped in blue brocade gloves and put it firmly into Qingling's hand, and the warmth from the hand stove was touched by the palm of his hand.

The palace maids and eunuchs who followed behind knelt on the ground, leaning forward and pressing their heads very low.

The sudden kneeling of the brush made her stunned for a moment, her clothes were dragged by the palace maid Jasmine, Qingling hurriedly knelt on the ground, her forehead was pressed against the cold green bricks, and her nerves became tense.

The eldest prince beside him has already made a big salute, "Father is auspicious, and the son asks for peace to his father." ”

Only then did Qingling understand that the emperor was here.

The back of the hand is attached to the green brick, the hand is on the hand stove, and the hand stove is leaning forward on the top of the hand stove, which is a little bit. Because of the hasty kneeling, the back of the hand seemed to be rubbing the skin, and it hurt a little.

A pair of boots embroidered with bright yellow dragon patterns on a black background stopped in front of her, stepping on the smooth and clean green bricks.

"Look up." A cold, low, and pleasant man's voice.

The winter sun at noon was warm, and the soft golden light sprinkled on the water surface of the Taiye Pool, and there was no trace of half a residual lotus in the lake, and the man who met because of the lotus was the only supreme person in the harem, and he was as far away as a star from her, and he could not be seen.

Qingling didn't think that the emperor was really talking to her, she was the same as the palace maid Jasmine beside her, kneeling honestly, her forehead was about to stick to the green bricks, the brick floor was very clean, very smooth, there was no dust on it, and the weeds in the brick joints were also cleaned very clean, and the brick joints were staggered, like the enlarged warp and weft of a chessboard.

"Raise your head!" The low, nice voice softened a lot overhead.

Qingling was stunned, the hand stove pressed tightly on the back of his hand, and his broken hand trembled.

Slowly straightened up, raised his head, and what came into view was still the boots with the dragon pattern on a black background of the blue bricks. The emperor asked her to raise her head, and she had to lower her eyes, and if she looked directly at Long Yan, she would be punished.

"What's your name?"

"Slave maid...... Slave maid Fengzao Palace maid Qingling. "A month ago, she was the favored concubine of her grandmother in the Jiang Mansion, but now, she has become a humble palace maid who has lost her memory and protection, in the harem, life and death, honor and disgrace are in the hands of others, and when you are powerless to resist, it is important to keep your life and live well. She suppressed the sourness in her heart and replied lightly.

The slender white hand reached over and put it on the arm and lifted it gently, "Get up." ”

Qingling stood up, the stove in his hand was held by slender fingers and taken away, his hand was turned over, and a yellow silk handkerchief was gently applied to it, wrapped around the palm of his hand, and wrapped around the place where the blood oozed from the broken skin.

From beginning to end, the cold and fierce breath made her nervous body tremble a little, some people are destined to be the secret of the girl's heart, the fantasy and love of the first sight are finally the foam of the sea, can not touch, dare not touch, she can only stay away, any fantasy and extravagant hope will be a sword against her.

"Your Majesty, Enke's hand-picked champion list has been waiting in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, please move the emperor." The eunuch Gao Zhen, the former leader of the imperial palace, reminded him with a suppressed voice.

The boots of the black black dragon were a little farther away, and the fierce coercion was still there.

"Huanghao, my father is asking someone to pass on you, and I came just in time, come with my father." The cold voice was as soft as the warm winter sun, and the emperor strode forward.

Jasmine, the palace maid, inadvertently took two quick steps and whispered in her ear, "Keep up." ”

Qingling was a little nervous, she couldn't help but take two quick steps, and followed closely behind the eldest prince, this is the only person in the palace who gives her a sense of security, and the only one who holds her side is the wisest choice.
