When Yan Xu went out, he saw Linglong standing at the door to see her off, and there was a plainly dressed woman who bowed her knees with her, his concubine would not dress like this, it was probably Du Kang.

Prince Rui pretended not to see it, and walked out with his head held high.

Sending him away, Du Kang blinked his eyes and did not speak, thoughtfully.

Linglong glanced at her and smiled, "Auntie, is there something wrong?" ”

Du Kang seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he still whispered: "Your Highness seems to be unhappy. ”

Burst.

Linglong asked: "Every time the prince was unhappy when he was a child, how did you coax him?" ”

Du Kang was a little embarrassed: "It's all Fusu and Shanchen who coax him, and they don't let Huadiao and me interfere." ”

Huadiao is getting worse and worse the more you coax, what about you, you may not be able to coax children at all.

"Usu will make all kinds of small snacks to coax His Highness, but His Highness is not uncommon, he likes to play with Shanchen and ride a big horse."

Perhaps because of the husband and wife, Linglong was very interested in what happened to Yan Xu when she was a child, and she asked, "Riding a big horse?" ”

"Yes, Shanchen is a horse, on all fours, carrying His Highness all over the mountain."

Linglong couldn't laugh anymore, this is how the feudal kings and grandchildren exploited people.

She remembered the purpose of inviting Du Kang to come, and asked, "Auntie, do you remember that the prince liked to carve stones when he was a child?" ”

"Carved stones?" Du Kang thought about it, and his beautiful eyes were shining, "At that time, Shanchen carved wood all day long, and carved a small sword and knife for His Highness, and His Highness learned him to carve stones. ”

Linglong's eyes were blazing, and she asked, "Mao Shizi knows?" ”

"Of course I know, Mao Hou Ye asked Mao Shizi to come once a day, rain or shine, His Royal Highness said that he wanted to carve stones, and Mao Shizi invited a master, but His Royal Highness is a child's heart, and he got bored after learning for a while, but the wood carved by Shanchen was more refined."

"Mao Shizi invited the juggling team to relieve His Highness's boredom, and His Highness became obsessed with juggling, and one day he asked the attendants to light a fire, saying that he wanted to drill the fire ring, and he was so frightened that Fusu knelt down and kowtowed."

He still had a reluctant temperament to let people light the fire, and everyone was afraid of upsetting him, so they went to climb the tree and bump into it, so they had to let the guards drill into the fire ring to show him. Although the guards had kung fu, it was a skill, and the guards had no experience, and after a while, some people burned all their hair and beard, and their bodies were also on fire. “

"I heard that Mao Houye was very angry when he found out, and scolded Mao Shizi."

It's no wonder that Fusu serves Xiao Seventeen willingly, compared to being an older brother, the younger brother is a good baby.

"Do you remember what the prince carved back then?" Linglong asked.

"Zodiac, His Royal Highness also said that after carving, it will be dedicated to Long live." Du Kang didn't even think about it.

"Do you still have those that he carved back then?" Linglong asked again.

Du Kang thought for a while: "I remember that His Royal Highness asked Fusu to find a box, saying that he wanted to put his stone carvings as a tribute, and the box was found, and he didn't like it, so Fusu sent someone to search for it in the antique shop, and when he finally found a suitable box, His Highness was already obsessed with juggling." Fu Su is a pity for the box, so he found two decent ones and put them in, Fu Su is careful, these two should be there, and the others should be lost, His Royal Highness has long been not interested. ”

Linglong has nothing more to ask.

The reason why she asked Du Kang was because Du Kang was the purest of the three aunts.

Needless to say, Fusu is as careful as a hair, and the flower carving is coarse, but she is also the most sophisticated, otherwise why did Yan Xu let her get close to her in the first place.

Sending Du Kang away, Linglong looked at the crab claw lotus on the windowsill, stunned.

The scrap carved out by the little prince was thrown away casually. Even someone as attentive as Usu has only preserved the best two of them.

However, one of the waste items that was thrown away was in the hands of Mrs. Mao, and it was carefully kept and carried with her.

Mao Shizi would go to the little prince's mansion every day.

He wanted to get a small stone that had been discarded without much effort.

Why did he take this?

And not far away, handed over to his sister.

Emperor Jingwen did not give food, and Yan Xu and Xiao Seventeen came back at noon.

Xiao Seventeen didn't even change his clothes, so he came to see Linglong.

"Imperial sister-in-law, imperial sister-in-law, I have seen my father."

Linglong asked him with a smile: "Has my father and the seventeenth master talked?" ”

"By the way, my father touched my braids." As he spoke, he shook the braid on his head proudly, and the two southern pearls on the braid flashed with a bright brilliance.

When he entered the palace, his braid was tied with red agate beads.

"It's rare to see such a big Nanzhu, it's rewarded by my father?" Linglong asked, but he faintly felt that Emperor Jingwen would not reward him for this.

The excitement on Xiao Seventeen's face suddenly disappeared, he was silent for a moment, stepped forward, pressed against Linglong's ear, and whispered, "This is Concubine Cheng's mother's thing." ”

Linglong was taken aback and asked, "Does the prince know?" ”

Xiao Seventeen shook his head: "Brother Huang doesn't know, don't tell him." ”

"And where did this come from?" Linglong's voice had unconsciously become stern.

Xiao Seventeen was a little stunned, what's wrong with the imperial sister-in-law, she has always spoken to herself very gently.

He felt that when he looked at the maids in the house, they all withdrew in a witty way, and Fusu also went out.

Xiao Qiqi said in a low voice: "A new person was sent in the Hanlin Academy to read to my father, and my father thought that he read well, so he asked us all to listen, by the way, the fifteenth brother did not go, and the ninth emperor brother did not go." ”

The fifteenth son of the emperor, Yan Huan, is one year older than the seventeenth younger, according to the rules, the princes will move to the prince's office after the age of ten, and they will be eligible to participate in the court meeting, and those who perform well can also listen to the government in the court.

Listening to the lectures of the Hanlin Academy is also indispensable for cultivating the prince.

According to the rule, Xiao Seventeen is not qualified, but in April, Emperor Jingwen had his birthday, and Xiao Seventeen was allowed to participate in this year's Autumn Siege, so it would not be too surprising to let Xiao Seventeen and the adult princes listen to the lectures of the Hanlin Academy today.

The fifteenth prince is only seven years old, and it is normal for him not to attend.

And the ninth son of the emperor, Yan Zhi, who had just been demoted to the king of the county, did not come, so there was a lot of information in it.

Emperor Jingwen still did not lose his temper.

"Since you're listening to a lecture in the Imperial Study, how did you get these two beads?" Linglong asked.

Xiao Seventeen was a little apprehensive: "It's the first time I've gone to the imperial study, and the twelfth brother said that it would take two or three hours, and he was afraid that I would pee my pants and let me go to the official room." ”

Linglong frowned secretly, although Yan Xu was not a careful person, he would protect Xiao Seventeen and would not let the people in the palace slack off him, except for going to the official room, it was basically impossible for others to contact Xiao Seventeen alone beyond Yan Xu.

"Who took you?" Yan Xu only suddenly thought of letting Xiao Seventeen go to the official room, and it was impossible for others to wait for him in the official room all the time, only the person who took him to the official room had this opportunity.
