Guarding the Dragon (6)
Lian Yin saw that Rui Shen was not very reluctant, and knew that he was because he was already teaching him to read and learn calligraphy, and he liked to be by his side, so he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and he no longer expected more other things.
His personality is already a little soft, and Lianyin's temperament is also relatively light, and after he gets along with Lianyin for a long time, this temperament is even more towards the gentle road of indisputable to the world.
This has to be changed at the beginning, Lian Yin still likes his temperament, and he will feel very similar to her. But now, as the years go by, Lian Yin finds that this can't go on.
Rui Shen is already a little boy who is almost eight years old, and another little prince like him has entered the academy early to learn literature with Taifu, even if he is no longer happy with the emperor, at least he has an impression in the emperor's heart. It's like prudence, completely forgotten in the corner, and it's almost covered with eighteen layers of ash.
Even the clothes worn by the little ones are not in accordance with the weight. The sleeves that were obviously a little shorter, and the fabric that was almost white after washing many times, Lian Yin had known him for two years and had seen him wear it for two years. There is a little bit of a prince outside here, and even the concubines of ordinary people are not as good.
In this palace, as long as the powerful people want to suppress a person, the people below will only step on it more vigorously than the people above.
Take Granny Liu next to Rui Shen as an example, since the fall of Concubine Li, Granny Liu immediately surrendered to the queen. The queen sent a message to let him appear less in front of the emperor, and don't let him learn too much, lest he be like his mother, Grandma Liu did it one by one, not only did it, but also did it more than that.
The annual banquet in the palace is also a family banquet, according to the rules, no matter how favored you are, but as a prince, as the emperor's heir, you must attend. But this Liu Granny was able to use the eleventh prince's body to be unhappy, and she avoided the New Year's banquet year after year. In front of outsiders, he excused that the prince was not in good health, but Rui Shen said that the palace did not let him participate. It's really a coaxing on both sides.
Obviously, the prudent case silver has been filled with private pockets, and this oil and water is already very sufficient, but he is still reluctant to make new clothes for the prudent all year round, even if it is a whole. Now it's getting colder and colder, and Prudence's hands and feet are always frozen. Every time he held his little hand in his hand and felt the cold one, Lian Yin felt distressed.
There is nothing she can do about the queen's side for the time being, but it is time to get rid of this unpopular grandmother Liu.
"Prudent ......" Lian Yin had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he called him at this time, his tone became serious.
The little guy straightened up, and looked at Lianyin equally seriously.
Lian Yin said, "You must go to the school." Not only do you want to go, but when you go, you must be better than your royal brothers, and you must please the Taifu. The tone of her speech was not to educate and persuade, but to give orders directly and simply.
Rui Shen naturally looked at her incomprehensibly. Seeing that she didn't continue after saying this, Rui Shen couldn't help but ask her the reason, "Why?" Aunt Lian. ”
"Because Aunt Lian doesn't want to see Rui Shen not warm and hungry. Aunt Lian is useless, she can't take care of you. So you have to learn to find a way to make a good life for yourself. ”
Rui Shen looked at Lian Yin silently, although she didn't tell him what to do, but he actually knew very well in his heart that the only person who wanted to make his life good was his father.
In this palace, only a word from his father can make a difference between heaven and earth.
Although he still doesn't like his father, he thinks his father is not good. But after Lian Yin's words came out, he couldn't help but think about it seriously.
After a long pause, he nodded again.
This time is finally different from just now, very willingly.
Lian Yin was relieved to see him enlightened.
The New Year is approaching, and the matter of going to the school cautiously is not the first priority of the legato. And the first thing is to let Rui Shen participate in this year's palace annual banquet. The emperor's favor has to be brushed no matter what, but it is not so easy to meet the emperor, and the best place to meet at the moment is naturally the New Year's banquet.
Lianyin gives advice for prudence, prudence is not stupid, and he learns fast in reading, so he remembers it. At this time, as Lianyin prepared for these curves, he actually got started quickly, which made Lianyin a little unexpected.
But it's good that he's so smart, and a lot of things are convenient.
On the day of the palace banquet, Grandma Liu was still as in previous years, and told the father-in-law in charge with embarrassment, saying that the eleventh prince had a cold last night and was ill, so I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go to the palace banquet.
The father-in-law who ran errands to ask questions listened to this reason every year, and knew in his heart that someone didn't want the eleventh prince to appear, so he didn't care if what Grandma Liu said was true or not. After her words, he would go back to the errand.
The father-in-law only walked on the front foot, and the magpie stopped him on the back foot.
"Father-in-law, our Highness will definitely attend the New Year's banquet today, and I hope that my father-in-law will leave a seat for our Highness when the time comes." As she spoke, she quietly stuffed a sachet wrapped in broken silver to the eunuch.
The eunuch looked up, and when he saw that there was no one, the courier took the sachet handed by the magpie, weighed the weight, and immediately smiled with satisfaction. Most of the people walking in the palace are open-eyed when they see money, and after having this sachet, where does he care about what Grandma Liu said just now, and he agreed to the magpie very kindly.
Anyway, he is just a statist, and it has nothing to do with him whether the prince comes or not, so why should he have trouble with money. In the final analysis, it is also Grandma Liu who only enters and does not go out on weekdays, which is too picky. But if she is willing to leak some money, this eunuch will not stand on the side of the magpie.
The magpie thanked the eunuch and soon slipped back into the palace and informed Prudence of the news.
The magpie was also a little curious about Ruishen's sudden abnormality and insistence on attending the palace New Year's banquet, and he didn't know what Ruishen was thinking. But since Rui Shen wants to go, then of course she is on Rui Shen's side. Therefore, the silver money given to the eunuch just now is still the private money of the magpie.
When it was almost dinner time, Rui Shen said that he was sleepy and had no appetite, so he went back to the inner room early to rest. Grandma Liu took a look twice, and saw that Rui Shen was sleeping soundly, and there was nothing to do in the palace, so she left with confidence to go to other palaces to meet with the old sisters.
After waiting for Grandma Liu to leave, the magpie accompanied Rui Shen to the front to attend the palace banquet.
Both Ruishen and Magpie have only participated in two palace banquets, and in those two times, Ruishen is still in infancy and does not understand anything. And the magpie is the one holding him, so he doesn't understand anything.
The two of them went to the New Year's banquet at this time, they really didn't understand anything, and they were a little apprehensive. But Rui Zhi also knew that he had a mission tonight, and he had to get his father's attention to do so. (To be continued.) )
