Chapter 223: Grinding
Three days later, Shuyi and Zhou Ying personally gave the gifts to their friends one by one and said goodbye to everyone.
Mingzhu watched them leave until they were out of sight, and then turned back.
"I'm quite reluctant to them, I used to think that I shouldn't get too close, I think that these princes and princesses are a trouble, my heart is empty when people leave, do you think I'm sick." Mingzhu chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Hongrui smiled, "Actually, their nature is not bad, do you know?" Even if you can't be friends of life and death, you don't have to be enemies. Whoever wants to pull a few more enemies for himself, isn't that sick? That's good, it's not far away, it's enough to have a good time, and there are some things that you just need to understand, and you don't need outsiders to understand. β
"You're right, how's Blu doing?"
"Well, her qualifications are much better than yours, I guess she will be better than you when she gets out, you have to hurry, how can you be slower than people if you don't eat less good things." Hongrui glanced at Mingzhu and felt that it was a waste for her to eat so many good medicinal herbs.
Mingzhu couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't blame me for her poor qualifications.
Shuyi and Zhou Ying left, and the small group of four people seemed to be much quieter all of a sudden, and the autumn leaves withered and yellowed, which actually showed a bit of a bleak atmosphere, which made people feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
The fourth prince rubbed his eyebrows between classes, and said casually: "The fifth brother gave me the kettle." β
No one paid attention to him for a long time, and the fourth prince suddenly looked up and found that Shuyi and Zhou Ying's seats were empty, only to realize that they had returned to the palace, and his face felt lost for a while, and he looked a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Mingzhu and Brother Qi's worried eyes, the fourth prince shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm still in a bit of a trance, these two girls are gone, how can I feel like something is missing." Usually when they are in front of me, they dislike them for chattering non-stop, and they are arguing to death like sparrows, so let's go. I'm panicking again! β
"Who said it wasn't, you said that the fourth child is just that, she still has the concubine to protect her, what can Shuyi do? Like the queen, Shuyi has been away from home for more than half a year. I gave a letter, and I didn't even bring a strip of cloth, and after the last time the Queen Mother went to the letter, there was nothing, and the letter was gone. The concubine also sent three or five letters a month, and the emperor's uncle also sent three letters to the queen mother a month to greet her, but Shuyi was the most pitiful and no one cared about it. β
Mingzhu sighed, this kind of thing can't help, it's just that it's very uncomfortable in her eyes.
The fourth prince pursed his lips. There was a little cold in her eyes, "It's okay that she is a strong girl, there are no cowards in my Zhou family, I believe she will get better." Isn't there still Aunt Hongxiang by her side, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, her father won't be ruthless and really ignore her. β
"Hmm." Mingzhu rubbed her head and didn't say anything, this kind of thing has to stand up on your own, and others are idle to worry about.
"When spring begins, we'll leave, and the guards will stay here, and they won't have so many people with them. You should also make some preparations when you go back, exchange more broken silver and copper plates, and buy some materials for ordinary people to wear, both good and bad. Just in case. Mingzhu also reminded them that they would have to leave when it was not cold.
"Well, I know, just right, I can still copy a few more books and write the homework left by the master." The fourth prince nodded seriously.
They told the master that they would leave at the beginning of spring, but the master didn't say anything. He just said that he went outside to have more eyes, and he wrote a letter back every three months, and he still had to assign homework, don't think that people don't need to read books when they leave, and he still has to take the exam for them.
The fourth prince's eyes were a little moist, and he gave the master a deep bow, "Master, Brother Yi thank you for your teaching these days, without you, Brother Yi doesn't know how big the sky is, please bow to the boy." β
The four princes cannot kneel to anyone other than their father, but they can sincerely give the master a disciple salute.
"Please accept our worship, Master." Mingzhu and Brother Qi knelt down and sincerely kowtowed to the master to thank him, thanking him for his hard work, and they felt it.
The old master touched his beard, and his face was full of gratifying smiles, "Good boy, get up, no matter where you go, remember one sentence, don't forget your original intention!" β
The corners of Mingzhu's eyes were a little shining, and they nodded frequently, "Master, we remember." β
In the days that followed, after Shuyi and Zhou Ying returned to the palace, they sent a letter to report their safety, Zhou Ying said that Shuyi's situation was very bad, and the queen found an excuse to punish Shuyi after Shuyi returned to the palace.
also wanted to punish Aunt Hongxiang, but was stopped by the emperor and reprimanded the queen, but the queen and Shuyi's mother-son relationship was completely severed, and even the face was gone, but it was just to maintain Cheng DΓΉ, who was not ashamed to go outside.
The palace people also began to look at the dishes, and the charcoal fires sent were the worst, which could choke people to death, this time Shuyi rarely didn't call a word of grievance, and took the opportunity to send away a lot of unstable palace people, her bedroom was a lot less people, and the queen pretended not to see it and ignore it.
Fortunately, Aunt Hongxiang still has some face, so it won't be too much, otherwise Shuyi will suffer more than that. Zhou Ying secretly sent silver money a few times, and the others didn't dare to act, after all, they were afraid of implicating their mother.
The most surprising thing is that the person who deliberately embarrassed and humiliated Shuyi turned out to be the Seventh Prince, not anyone else.
At first, Zhou Ying thought that his third brother had made a move, and he also found him to ask in person, and the third prince assured that he absolutely did not instruct someone to bully a princess who had fallen into trouble, so it was also his sister, although he was not close, there was no need to go on the pole to harm her.
Later, I secretly checked it, only to know that it was the seventh prince Zhou Qi, this discovery made Zhou Ying unacceptable, and wrote three articles cursing the seventh prince in the letter, but also said that she didn't sue her father, because she didn't know what to say, she had no evidence for fear of helping Shuyi instead, she didn't believe her father and didn't know at all.
Zhou Ying writes a lot of letters every time she comes, a thick pile, and I don't know where she got so much nonsense, I can't wait to write about my daily life, and there are many places to vomit.
Every time Shuyi writes a letter, she says it very well, describes the picture beautifully, and says that the master praises her again, saying that she has learned well, and everything is very good. I didn't say a word of grievance, and I also sent small items to Mingzhu, mainly mentioning various things in the palace, and inadvertently revealed a lot of information they needed.
Mingzhu showed the two of them letters to the Queen Mother, "What do you think of the Queen Mother?" β
"It's not bad, it seems that the people taught by my wife are still okay, and they haven't been crooked as soon as they go back. Why do you think the emperor still doesn't care about Shuyi? The Queen Mother tilted her head like a child, and wanted to take the school pearl.
"I guess, Uncle Emperor may be testing Shuyi? If you don't experience the cold to the bone, you can use it to smell the plum blossoms. Only in this way can Shuyi really come to her senses and understand what to do and what not to do. I don't believe that the emperor's uncle will really give up Shuyi, after all, it is his daughter, maybe he cares less, but he won't really forget about the back of his head, especially when his mother is unreliable and can't protect the child, the emperor will look at it more. (To be continued.) )
