[The following Shu Qiao's title is temporarily changed to Xueyi]

The next day, Shu Qiao asked the eighteenth master to draw a pattern of Dilian for himself, ready to embroider one and give Dilian to the thirteenth master, after the painting, the eighteenth elder brother said to Shu Qiao: "Sister Xueyi, I have to learn to paint with the painter next, so I will go first." ”

Xueyi waved his hand and said, "Bye-bye, study hard." The eighteenth elder brother also waved his hand and left.

On the way, Abil asked, "Princess, where are you going now?" ”

Xueyi stumbled on the road: "We are going to Concubine De's now, if it is done, maybe we will be able to leave the palace." ”

Abi'er said happily: "Great, in this case, I will have the opportunity to go out to see and see, and when you become the imperial concubine in the future, I can go out whenever I want." ”

Xueyi chased after Abi'er and said, "You are at ease, I am sleepy, see that I don't punish you." And then she kept tickling Abil.

The thirteenth master and the fourth master were just talking about how to prepare for the cold this time, when they heard the sound of fighting in the distance, the thirteenth master was very happy to see Xueyi again, but saw that the fourth master was very serious and said: "This princess is really energetic." ”

The thirteenth master shouted at Xueyi: "Princess Xueyi, are you having a good time?" ”

As soon as Xueyi heard the voice, he immediately restrained himself, but looking at the fourth master next to him, Xueyi also restrained his smile and walked over: "Fourth master, thirteenth master." ”

The Thirteenth Master said: "Xueyi, where are you going, this is not your way back to the other courtyard." ”

Xueyi didn't care about the presence of the fourth master, and said very familiarly: "I'm here to see Concubine De's mother." ”

The Thirteenth Master was very surprised and happy and said, "It seems that we are walking together." ”

Then the four of them went together.

After asking Concubine De for peace, Concubine De said that it was lunch time for the meeting, so she would leave the three of them to eat together.

At the dinner table, Xueyi wanted to clip the winter bamboo shoots, but when he put down the chopsticks, he thought again: "No, the winter bamboo shoots will definitely have a sound, and they can't be eaten." I wanted to eat celery, but I shook my head and couldn't do it, and when I saw my favorite black fungus, I thought: Forget it, it seems that I can only drink some soup in other people's homes, otherwise, the sound of chirp and chirp can't be hidden.

The fourth master, the thirteenth master, and Concubine De all noticed it, the fourth master and the thirteenth master just smiled, and Concubine De opened her mouth and asked, "Does the princess not like these meals?" Or I'll order the Imperial Dining Room to sit down and eat what you like. ”

Xueyi put down his chopsticks and shook his head and said, "No, Niangniang, it's just that I have lost weight recently, so I don't want to eat it." ”

Concubine De smiled and said, "Does the princess still need to lose weight with this appearance?" ”

Xueyi smiled shyly: "Girls will never think they are thin at any time." ”

Everyone smiled, and Xueyi saw that the atmosphere was still good at this time, so she began to speak: "Concubine De Niangniang, I heard that you are going to catch the wind for the fourteenth master next month, I thought, can you let me hold this reception banquet for the fourteenth master." ”

Concubine De looked at Xueyi and said: "The princess has a good intention, the palace is not easy to refuse, but the princess is mainly learning court etiquette, and I heard that she is still learning Chinese characters recently, so I am afraid that the princess will be delayed." ”

Xueyi waved his hand and said: "No, this study is talented, and I mainly want to do my filial piety for Concubine De." ”

Concubine De nodded and said, "Okay, then this matter will trouble the princess, in the future, when the old fourteen comes back, I will let the fourteen say thank you to you." ”

Xueyi: "It's what I should do to contribute to my mother." Then, can I go out of the palace and buy some things? ”

At this time, the fourth master knew that Xueyi was playing the idea of leaving the palace, so he spoke: "If you want something, you can send someone to buy it, why bother the princess to go out in person." ”

Xueyi immediately thought of a reason: "If you don't go out, how can you have the inspiration to hold a reception banquet that you want to do?" Xueyi called out in his heart: Fourth master, you must not be my way, I finally found an opportunity.

"It's true that there is no need to make too much fuss about procurement, just cook a meal for Fourteen in the palace." Concubine De said with a smile.

What to do? This is a euphemistic refusal. "That's not good, Niangniang, young people like to be lively, people like the Fourteenth Master who love to be lively, they definitely want to chat with their brothers when they come back."

Concubine De thought for a while and said: "You're right, Fourteen really likes to be lively, unlike the fourth and thirteenth, they are all people who like to be quiet" Concubine De thought for a while and said: "That's it, when the time comes, the reception banquet will be held on the fourth mansion, and the princess won't have to worry about it."

"Yes, E-niang." The fourth master smiled.

But didn't Xueyi's plan to leave the palace come to naught? "Concubine De, can I go and help with the fourteenth master's reception banquet?"

The thirteenth master looked at Xueyi wanting to leave the palace like this, and said, "Concubine De, I think the princess is afraid that she is suffocated, and I want to beg you to give her a chance to leave the palace." ”

"Oh." Concubine De actually knew it a long time ago, but she didn't plan to say it if she didn't make it clear, and she didn't plan to say it, seeing that Xueyi had a sense of embarrassment at the idea of being looked at, Concubine De said: "It's okay, you can help go to Sibeile Mansion to help that day." ”

"Thank you, mother." Xueyi looked at Concubine De happily, and finally had a chance to leave the palace, YES.

Since having a meal with Xueyi at Concubine De's place, the Thirteenth Master would often sit in the palace in a daze, pick up the straw bracelet in his arms, and really wanted to give it to Shu Qiao, at this time Luo Xinghai came in and said: "Thirteenth Master, you have been in retreat for so long, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

The Thirteenth Master said, "Where are you going?" ”

Luo Xinghai was about to think about it, and the thirteenth master smiled: "Let's go find the eighteenth brother." The Thirteenth Master raised his legs and left, in a hurry, but Luo Xinghai complained in the back: "Why have you been running to the Eighteenth Master lately?" Isn't it boring there? ”

The thirteenth master came to the upper study, and saw the eighteenth brother who was reading seriously from the window, and didn't want to disturb him, so he withdrew from the upper study first.

Luo Xinghai followed behind the Thirteenth Master and asked, "Thirteenth Master, Eighteenth Master is not free now, so should we go to the palace to play?" ”

The Thirteenth Master still walked forward on his own: "The scenery in the palace is so good, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy it." ”

Luo Xinghai seemed to feel that there was no hope of leaving the palace, and said discouragedly: "When did the thirteenth master like to enjoy the autumn colors in the palace." As soon as he finished saying this, he found that the Thirteenth Master seemed to be looking at Yuqing Palace, and seemed to be thoughtful, "Thirteenth Master, do you want to visit the Prince?" Luo Xinghai couldn't help but ask.

The Thirteenth Master didn't speak, Luo Xinghai wanted to step forward to take a look at the Thirteenth Master, but he heard a sentence from the side: "If the Thirteenth Brother wants to come to see me, go in, if you fancy the things in my house, you can also say it, don't say that I'm stingy as an elder brother." ”

The Thirteenth Master lowered his head and shouted, "Prince." Luo Xinghai knelt on one leg and asked the prince to say goodbye.

"Get up." The prince slowly walked to the side of the thirteenth master, "Since you are here, go to my palace to sit." ”

Although the Thirteenth Master knew that this was not a good thing, but seeing that the Fourth Master nodded, the Thirteenth Master was not easy to refuse, so he had to come down and follow in the footsteps of the Fourth Master.

Came to the main hall of Yuqing Palace, Ning Fujin came out to order the tea, the prince sat directly above, the thirteenth master and the fourth master sat on the left side of the prince, the prince looked at the thirteenth master, and suddenly said: "Does the thirteenth brother want to ask something?" ”

The Thirteenth Master just smiled slightly: "There is no doubt now, if you have any questions in the future, you will definitely come to ask the prince for advice." ”

The prince laughed: "It seems that I am too worried, today Princess Xueyi has been studying etiquette in my palace for a period of time, thinking that you are also acquaintances, I will send someone to invite the princess to meet with you." ”

The thirteenth master and the fourth master didn't speak, just waited quietly for something.

Xueyi came to the entrance of the lobby not far away, and asked Xiao Si sent by the prince: "Father-in-law, do you know what the prince is looking for me?" ”

The little servant replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't know, it's just that the fourth master and the thirteenth master are sitting in the palace, so there must be something to discuss with the princess." ”

When Xueyi heard that the thirteenth master was also there, he suddenly thought in his heart and was very happy: "Then let's go quickly, don't delay the time." "The pace is getting faster and faster.

When I came to the hall in Yuxiu Palace, I saw that the fourth master and the thirteenth did not look up at themselves, and their expressions were unusually strict, it would not be strange if the fourth master had this expression, but the thirteenth master also had this expression, which made Shu Qiao's mind a little incomprehensible. Only the prince smiled alone, which made people feel that there was a gust of wind behind him.

Xueyi half-knelt and said, "See the prince, the fourth master, the fourteenth master"

Prince: "Get up, find a random place to sit down." Xueyi walked to the other side and sat down, facing the fourth master, "Today, I brought the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother here because you know each other no matter what you say, by the way, chatting, the province has been bored all day." ”

Xueyi understood in his heart what the prince meant: Isn't this an obvious way to put me and the Thirteenth Master on the table, and also, how could this ancient man want his fiancée to like other people, isn't it a great shame.

The prince said to the following: "Thirteenth brother, what do you want to tell your future sister-in-law about now, I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities for you to meet in the future." ”

There are words in the words, the thirteenth master understands it very well, Xueyi also understands, and the fourth master understands it even more, the thirteenth master smiled and said to the prince: "The prince said that he laughed, the princess must be good in everything, and we must have saved the words of concern." ”

Prince: "That's natural, and I will definitely take care of the princess." ”

Xueyi was very uncomfortable in his heart, obviously he was depressed with a bird in a cage, but he wanted to pretend to be very happy, he obviously saw the thirteenth master, but he still couldn't talk to the thirteenth master, isn't this a whine?

At this time, the fourth master slipped out a sentence: "Prince, I told the thirteenth brother that I would ask Eniang for peace now, if there is nothing to do, we will retire first." ”

The prince was very satisfied with today's situation, because the two of them couldn't say anything when they saw each other, so he let the thirteenth master and the fourth master go: "By the way, I will ask Concubine De Niangniang for me, and when I am free in a few days, I will go to see Concubine De Niangniang." ”

The fourth master said "um", and then went out with the thirteenth master.

Xueyi kept staring at the thirteenth master, forgetting that there was a prince beside him, the prince made a face to the entourage next to him, Hu Qing slapped his hands, and then saw the people coming over, everyone was holding a plate in their hands, and the prince was very proud and said: "This is the jade bracelet and some pearl necklaces sent by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and I will give them to you now." ”

Xueyi stood up, and Fujin also stood up, and said in unison: "Prince Xie." Xueyi noticed that his things were exactly the same as those of Fu Jin, and when he saw the jealousy in Fu Jin's eyes, he felt a lot of grief in his heart: It's over, it seems that my future road is more difficult.

The thirteenth master and the fourth master were walking on the road, Luo Xinghai followed behind him and didn't dare to squeak, the thirteenth master was afraid that the fourth master would mention Xueyi and his own affairs, so he was busy saying to the fourth master: "Fourth brother, I suddenly remembered that I still have to see the eighteenth brother, so I will leave first." ”

The fourth master said unhurriedly: "Slow, have you forgotten that I just told the prince that you are also going to visit my mother?" If the prince uses this as an excuse to seize us, do you want to suffer for it? ”

The thirteenth master thought about it, so he had to continue to follow in the footsteps of the fourth master, the fourth master: "What the prince did just now is obvious, presumably you won't know it, I reminded you from the beginning to keep your distance from the princess, but the two of you have always been perfunctory." ”

Thirteen didn't want to continue to hide it from the fourth master, so he immediately grabbed the words: "Fourth brother, I don't want to hide it from you, don't I have a chance to be together with Xueyi?" ”

The fourth master also stopped, stared at the thirteenth master, and said resolutely: "No." ”

The thirteenth master was very dissatisfied, and wanted to continue to ask the fourth master, but the fourth master spoke: "Recently, you have been estranged from me a lot for her affairs, and I don't want you and my brother to break off their relationship." ”

The thirteenth master said very resolutely: "Fourth brother, the brotherhood between you and me will not be broken, no matter what, I will never forget the fourth brother's care for me." ”

The fourth elder brother was very relieved to see that the thirteenth master was so firm in his affection for himself, "I know that you value affection, but you also have to take care of the overall situation." ”

The Thirteenth Master looked unwilling to back down, "He said that she would not marry the prince, he said..." The fourth master's sentence seemed to wake up the person in the dream, and the thirteenth master suddenly had nothing to say, and the fourth master said coldly: "Okay, pack up your mood and go to see Eniang." ”

After the fourth master left, Luo Xinghai saw that the thirteenth master was still in place, so he stepped forward and reminded: "Master, let's go." Thirteen started slowly, following behind the fourth master.

Shu Qiao returned to his own garden, he was in a very bad mood, thinking of the scene just now, he always felt that the thirteenth master would give up on himself because of the prince, did he really want to marry someone he didn't like at all.

Seeing that Xueyi had been sitting on the stone bench in a daze, Abi'er walked over gently, and then shouted, "Princess." Shu Qiao blamed Abi'er: "Why are you always babbling, if no one dares to ask for it in the future, look at you to find a place to cry." ”

Abier smirked, "How can my happiness be as happy as the princess's sadness." Xueyi smiled: "It seems that your mouth is still sweet." As soon as she finished speaking, Xueyi sighed again, and Abi'er asked, "Why did the princess sigh again and again." ”

Xueyi lowered his head and slapped, "You say, how can I not be confined to this small Yuxiu Palace every day?" Abi'er came up with an idea without saying a word, "It's not easy, hasn't the emperor already allowed you to go to the study for class, so that you can't walk around." ”

Xueyi stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why did I forget this stubble, in this way, you go to the study now to bring a message to the teacher, and say that I will go to the study tomorrow to study." ”

Abi'er nodded and was about to go out, but Xueyi shouted again, "By the way, remember to talk to the eighteenth elder brother, and say that I will go to him tonight." ”

Abil: "Yes. Then he went out the door.

Xueyi was very happy, and finally found an upright reason to be with the eighteenth elder brother often, so that the thirteenth master could also be seen. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly felt that he was too scheming, and he actually learned to use the eighteenth elder brother as a magpie bridge. "Is your embroidery done today? I'm starting to be lazy now. ”

Xueyi hurriedly saluted, and Fujin said, "Get up." ”

Xueyi looked at the expressionless Fu Jin sitting aside, and squeezed out a few words by himself, "I just learned embroidery, but the embroidery is not very good, and I can't take it." ”

Fu Jin stared at Xueyi for a moment: "If you don't learn well, you can take your time, but it's not an excuse to be lazy." Xueyi was very annoyed in her heart, obviously she was just resting for a while, but she took care of herself like a prisoner, "Why, if you say a few words, you will still lose your face." Fu Jin saw the obvious dissatisfaction on Xueyi's face.

That's right, since the fence is down, you have to learn to bow your head, "No, I'm just self-reflecting." ”

Fu Jin saw that Xueyi didn't look like he wanted to resist, so he stood up: "Mama will always be here to embroider with you until your embroidery improves." Then he raised his legs and walked a few steps, and suddenly heard Xueyi shouting: "Fujin, I want to go to the study tomorrow to study, and the emperor personally agreed." Fu Jin turned his head and stared at Xueyi without saying a word, but said in his heart: Xueyi has a relationship with the emperor so soon.

Xueyi just felt that Fu Jin was a little uneasy about looking at himself, could it be that he was too reckless? "You go to the study tomorrow as usual, and embroidery will come back tomorrow as usual."

Xueyi whispered back, "Yes." After watching Fujin leave, Xueyi said to the newcomer Mama Zeng, "Mama Zeng, you also sit down and rest." ”

But this Zeng Mama seems to be carved out of the same mold as Fu Jin: "No, the princess should learn embroidery, otherwise Fu Jin will blame me for teaching in a way." ”

When Xueyi saw this situation, he couldn't continue to stick his hot face to other people's cold butts. It's better to embroider well, and don't get into trouble with anything that makes you unhappy.

The next day, Xueyi felt that respect for the teacher in ancient times was very important, whether a person can do great things, and whether a person can respect his mentor well. Only by respecting the teacher can we re-educate the Tao, and then we can be taught and solve our doubts.

Because he didn't know the road, the eighteenth elder brother came to Xueyi's Zhu De courtyard early, and saw that the eighteenth master and a child could get up so early, but it was really not easy.

"Eighteenth elder brother, why are you here so early?" Xueyi asked the eighteenth elder brother with a spirit on his face.

"Today is my sister's first day in school, and I thought that my sister would also go to visit Master Du earlier, so I came to show my sister the way." The eighteenth elder brother was really thoughtful, and even he didn't expect that he would get lost, but the eighteenth elder brother at a young age was so meticulous.

"The eighteenth elder brother is so careful." In my heart, I was thinking about the shadow of the Thirteenth Master.

"Isn't it similar to Brother Thirteen?" The appearance of the eighteenth elder brother, a ghost and a ghost, suddenly guessed his inner thoughts.

Xueyi gently pinched the two ears of the eighteenth elder brother and said, "Didn't anyone teach you not to guess the girl's mind?" "Being exposed in front of a child, and being laughed at by the two of them, it's embarrassing to think about.

"Sister, I was wrong, let's go see Master Du." With a little immature voice begging for mercy, Xueyi couldn't bear to slaughter this ear again.

"Okay, let's take my sister's hand and go." Stretching out his hand and pulling the eighteenth elder brother as if taking care of a child.

However, the eighteenth elder brother said very unappreciatively: "I am a boy, let the girl lead me to lose face, and my sister still follows me." After saying that, he swaggered forward.

Abi'er, who has been standing by and watching the excitement, also thinks it's funny, at a young age, she actually has the problem of gaining and losing face so quickly. Abi'er saw that the eighteenth elder brother had already walked away, but the princess was still smirking, so she stepped forward and said, "Princess, if you don't leave, the eighteenth elder brother will come back." ”

"Let's go." Xueyi walked out with the footsteps of the eighteenth elder brother. Abier, as a personal maid, of course, also followed.

When he came to the study, Master Du had already sat on the upper seat of the study early, and the eighteenth elder brother stepped forward and bowed: "Master Du." ”

Master Du looked at the eighteenth elder brother, and an old man showed a slight smile: "The eighteenth elder brother really loves to learn, and he came early." ”

The eighteenth elder brother said very respectfully, "Master Du, today is a new student who wants to come to see you. ”

Xueyi was already stunned at that time, and when he saw the two of them looking at him in unison, he remembered that he was coming to see Master Du, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Master Du, student Xueyi, I just came to study today, and I hope the master will not hesitate to teach." ”

Master Du stood up and looked at Xueyi so respectfully, and naturally felt very comforted in his heart: "The princess is eager to study, presumably he will be able to succeed in his studies." ”

Xueyi was very happy when she heard her master praise herself like this: "Thank you Master Du for the compliment, the student wants to study as much as he can, and I don't know if the master has time." ”

Master Du nodded happily and said, "Princess, let's start with literacy." ”

Xueyi nodded and said, "Yes, Master Du." ”

Seeing that it was inconvenient to disturb Xueyi this time, the eighteenth elder brother stood up and said, "Master, then the student will practice the flute first." Seeing the master nodding, he walked to the side and practiced

After studying for two hours, it was also time for recess, but there were some children around her, some little Gege little brothers, Abier had been sitting outside the study, and seeing them all come out, Abier was very happy that she could finally speak.

followed behind Xueyi and said, "Princess, you see that these Agogege don't play much together, they look so angry." ”

"You say so, yes, come with me." Looking at Xueyi's posture, it seems that he wants to understand the "inside story" of this matter.

Xueyi saw that the elder brothers were all in a bunch, and Xueyi saw the eighteenth elder brother standing in front talking to someone, so he walked over and asked the eighteenth elder brother: "Eighteen elder brother, why don't you play with the other elder brothers." ”

The sixteenth elder brother next to him was the first to answer: "Their mother's status is low, so she is not suitable to be with us. ”

Is it true that such a young child has this kind of thought? It seems that there is a huge disparity in identity, even if it is a brother, it is destined since childhood.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what the identity is, everyone is the child of Huang Ama, we should play together." The eighteenth elder brother is young, but he can always say something about an adult.

The sixteenth elder brother felt that the eighteenth elder brother was young enough to say these words, and said with some disdain: "Eighteen brother, you are still young, you will understand later." ”

Looking at the back of the sixteenth elder brother leaving, the medical student was very upset in his heart: why, such a young child was covered by power, and the most eternal family affection in the world became nothing in this royal family. From this point of view, in fact, the thrilling fruits of the nine sons in the future are all because of the middle and lower causes of their youth. The so-called fate is nothing more than a cycle of cause and effect. But what is the reason for coming here?

Back in his room, he sat alone in the courtyard and wondered: What am I here for? is to participate in this battle of nine sons like other heroines who have crossed over, and then either sit in a high position and stay here for the rest of their lives, or end their lives here tragically and go back with regrets. I don't want to, I don't want to be like these people, I'm going to be myself, I'm going to be myself.

His steps did not follow his own reason, but he listened to his heart's thoughts and left all the way, just because he didn't feel like he was living in a cage.

The grandmother who taught herself embroidery outside the door couldn't stop herself, she seemed to be crazy and walked to a corner where no one was chasing, no one could find her hiding place, yes, this is it. Xueyi hid inside, and the whole person shrunk together. I don't want to think about the situation outside, I only want to go back.
