Since the third prince Mu Jinming followed the emperor to raise him, everyone thought that it would not be too long, and it would not take a year for the prince to go to the study to study with the princes and princesses when he was older. In the meantime, some people couldn't hold their breath and inquired in many ways, lest things would evolve into what everyone didn't want to see in their hearts. Some bold concubines wanted to take the opportunity of blowing the wind on the pillow to probe the heart of the saint, but unfortunately to no avail. **The woman in the is anxious, on the one hand, there is a princess and a concubine, I am afraid that the speculation will come true, and on the other hand, there is a princess or a concubine without an heir, they have to plan for themselves and the family behind them, how to stand in line to seek more benefits for themselves and the family.

The courtiers also found that there were a few people who took the lead in the performance, indicating that the three princes should go to school with the other imperial heirs when they reached school age. It was clear that they wanted to speculate on the emperor's intentions, Sima Zhao's heart was well known, they thought that if their daughter gave birth to the prince and then help her to ascend to the throne, then the family would get more protection, but their repeated requests were rejected on the grounds that the third prince lost his mother at an early age and was stimulated to recuperate. Some people who do not give up after learning about this matter have asked the hospital whether it is really true, or how long it takes to recuperate and prepare the most, and the doctor did say that it is really true, and said that the recuperation depends on the situation, let alone a year or two, so those people have died down and puffed up, and no longer mention this matter, and now it has been more than three years, and some people can't bear it.

"The emperor protected him too well!"

"Don't worry."

"Hmph, it's good now, the side hall is guarded like an iron bucket, how can you not be in a hurry?"

"Mother, there will always be omissions."

"You're right, you've been waiting for a while all these years, not to mention that someone is more anxious than this palace. Look, this ** is going to make waves again, hehe. ”

"Xi'er." Mu Jinming found the 'young man' who was sitting under the tree in the garden and immersed himself in reading, and Xi Chao, who was not very convenient to wear women's clothes after learning martial arts, changed into the same men's clothes as him, and a man's outfit added a bit of heroism, and people couldn't help but sigh why they were not men.

"The bracer you want is ready." Mu Jinming sat beside her little sister, glanced at the book in her little sister's hand, and said suspiciously: "Wasn't you reading a medical book a few days ago?" "Why did you change it to wild history today, it's hard to finish reading it!

"Headache." Xi Chao replied without leaving the book: "It's too cumbersome for the doctor to look at and ask questions." "She doesn't have the brains to remember that.

"Oh, you." Mu Jinming, who was amused by Xi Chao's words, didn't know what to say, and he thought that his little sister's intelligence was beyond his reach in terms of endorsement, but this was based on her interest, and he was very disdainful of qinqi painting.

"The dark guard used the weight-bearing method you raised yì to retrain, and the father said that if you have any good ideas, let's discuss it together and then decide, don't tire yourself." When he saw the thing on Xi Chao's wrist, Mu Jinming was curious, and after asking, he realized that it was no wonder that Xi Chao's daily practice was much more troublesome than his.

"Hmm." Xi didn't raise her head in response, half of Mu Jinming's words were right, that is, she didn't know how much weight a child of her age could bear, and she didn't say it first because she was afraid that there would be a case. As for the other half, if she doesn't want anything else, she just wants to bring up her body, how can she be as useless as a delicate little girl.

"It's getting more and more chaotic in the palace." This is what Mu Jinming felt when he stepped out of the 'side hall' twice, and his deep eyes revealed a trace of fierceness, and if he wanted his life, it depended on whether he had the ability or not.

Xi Chao could hear the ridicule in his bland words, and glanced at the brother beside him: "Don't go out, I don't have a few years to do so much homework." She knew in her heart that she couldn't hide in the deep palace for the rest of her life, and her brother, who was also 'sick', couldn't never leave the 'side hall' and not see anyone, and there was not much time left for them to be together.

"Okay, listen to you." Mu Jinming didn't find the deep meaning of Xi Chao's words, and only thought that Xi Chao was afraid that something would happen to him.

Several ministers who knocked on the side of the court discussed whether to ordain the crown prince, but they didn't want to, but they didn't come out, but they were demoted two levels in a row by the emperor's anger.

"I want to be crowned a prince, but his intentions are in vain." How could Mu Haoyu give the people below an excuse to point to Ming'er.

"The emperor is angry." All the ministers knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in unison: "The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths." "He said that he would die, and only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Some ministers sneered at the inadequacy of the ministers who were demoted, and it was not the first time, and they didn't even have a long heart, and they were used as guns by people with hearts, and they really deserved it.

Some ministers who had ghosts in their hearts oozed fine cold sweat from the corners of their foreheads at this time, and secretly said that the power of the sky was unpredictable, but fortunately they only instigated those few people, otherwise their official positions would not be guaranteed.

"Don't talk about it again." Putting aside the cruel words and leaving with his sleeves, Mu Haoyu went directly to find his beloved two children.

After the emperor left, the ministers got up, glanced at the ministers who had intersections, and then each went out of the Qinzheng Palace.

Breakfast is to be used with the children, thinking of the two lovely children Mu Haoyu was in a much better mood, and when he walked into the imperial study, he saw the two children sitting at the table at a glance.

"Father." The two of them said in unison.

patted the heads of the two children, Mu Haoyu motioned for them to sit down and eat together, during which only the sound of the dishes and chopsticks touching was heard, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Mu Jinming looked at the Xi Dynasty beside him while eating, and a sentence from the schoolwork he had learned not long ago jumped out of his mind, men and women are seven years old at different tables, although Teacher Xiao has explained in detail that there is a difference between men and women, children can't sleep together when they are older, and they must be separated along with the table meal, which he knows but look at the two people on a table, and sigh in his heart that his father loves them, so the three of them eat at the same table, but he still wants to hear Xi Chao's understanding of this, she can always say unique opinions, Xi Chao hasn't refuted Mr. Xiao's words for half a year, and he really misses it.

After the meal, Mu Jinming asked Xichao his incomprehension: "Xi'er, how do you understand that men and women are seven years old?" ”

Xi Chao felt inexplicable when he heard this, didn't he say it, why did he still ask: ""The Book of Etiquette and Internal Rules" says that for seven years, men and women have different beds and do not eat together. It is understandable that men and women have different physiological structures and mental states, and they should listen to different etiquette laws and observe etiquette when interacting with each other. "The Book of Rites and Effectiveness" says, there is a difference between men and women, and then father and son, father and son and then righteous birth, righteous birth and then ceremony, ceremony and then all things are safe, as for not eating together, we are not all sitting together to eat, what do you want to do so much, etiquette is to restrain people, not to let you die and rigid, people have to know how to be flexible, some poor people do not pay much attention to it, a family eats at the same table, we are not a family! ”

"Chao'er is right." Mu Haoyu put down the fold in his hand and turned his face to look at the two children: "As long as you know what some things are used for, whether they are used for yourself depends on the situation. For those who do not observe the etiquette, they will sneer at it, and their relatives and friends will stay away. ”

"Yes, the retainers should be remembered." Mu Jinming listened carefully, he could always find more wonders from his little sister and benefited a lot.

"Chao'er, what about the purse you promised to embroider for your father?" Mu Haoyu remembered for a while that his little daughter had promised him a few days ago, in fact, he was looking forward to the purse embroidered by his own girl every day, listening to Li Desheng's return, the youngest daughter's craftsmanship has been able to complete simple embroidery alone, he is not very demanding, let his daughter learn to be popular just to attract her attention, don't hold the book all day long.

"Tomorrow." Xi Chao thought about the purse and she embroidered it until it was embroidered, so she almost sewed it together, and it was done in a hurry.

"What about mine?" As soon as she heard the purse made by the little sister novice, Mu Jinming's eyes lit up and she also wanted one.

"Tomorrow." Xi Chao said that when he did it, he did a few more, well, it was calculated according to the head, the eldest brother of the father, the martial artist of Gonggong Li, and the red rui around him, that's all.

The next day, when a few people received the purse, the moved can not be expressed in words, this is the first embroidery made by His Royal Highness himself, although the pattern is simple and then look at the needle angle is very fine, it is a good embroidery, with its age.

Time flies, winter goes to spring and a few years pass by, and now it is half an adult Xi Dynasty, a man dressed in green clothes with dark lines, a tall figure is more upright, a face that can be said to be very expressionless, at first glance it really looks like a half-grown teenager, really male and female.

Eleven-year-old Xi Chao and twelve-year-old Mu Jinming stand together, they are generally tall, the two are very good-looking, standing together, seven or eight points like brothers, Xi Chao has not pierced his ears since he was a child, if you don't look closely at this age, it is difficult to see the real gender.

"My father's dynasty has grown up." Mu Haoyu sighed deeply: "It's getting more and more handsome." He smiled and stroked the child's head.

In the blink of an eye, the baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes had grown up, Mu Haoyu was relieved and at the same time his heart was sour, it was a good thing that the child grew up, but what followed was indeed separation, how could he be reluctant.

"Father, I'll take care of myself." Xi Chao could see the pain of her father's parting at this moment, and she didn't want to leave her father and brother, but she had to go, for herself and for the sake of seeing each other in the future.

"Okay, my father believes in you." With a light sigh, the tears in his eyes were suppressed, and Mu Haoyu replied again: "Hongrui, Hongming, you take them with you, and bring two secret guards to accompany you, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as good as at home, you have to be careful." "He fears that his children will suffer, and he is too late to meddle in the courtiers' household affairs.

"I will." Xichao nodded heavily, indicating that he would pay attention.

"Xi'er, I'll go see you." Mu Jinming, who was standing on the side and was secretly sad, spoke, and after seven years of being together, he was full of sorrow when he parted.

"Hmm." Although Xi Chao knew that it was very difficult for Mu Jinming to leave the palace, he still responded to his words.

The three of them said goodbye in the imperial study, Li Desheng was guarding the side and secretly wiped his tears from time to time, His Royal Highness grew up with a small watch, from such a little bit of growth to the current appearance, I don't know when I will be able to meet again tomorrow, the palace is not someone who wants to come in can come in, even if you are intentional, you have to find an excuse not to let people find out that something is wrong, how can it be as easy as in the previous years.

Prime Minister's Mansion, the little servant Ah Qi came to Shui Yueju Liu's residence and said: "Xiangye asked my aunt to prepare, and the eldest lady will return home tomorrow." ”

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she remembered who she was talking about, and asked, "Tomorrow?" "How can it be so fast.

"Yes." A Qi responded.

"Got it." Aunt Liu waved her hand to let Ah Qi retreat, and when Wang Ma saw that no one was around the house, she closed the door and said, "Why didn't that little die!" "It came back all of a sudden, and it was unexpected.

"It's too rushed." Wang Ma said: "There has been no movement at all these years, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"Little slut." Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "After eleven years outside, I want to come back again." ”

"Is it what Xiangye meant?" Wang Ma guessed: "She is already eleven years old, and she will be in time in a few years." ”

"The little slut thinks well, and wants to come back to fight for the position of the eldest lady, no way!" Aunt Liu couldn't let that little slut threaten their mother and daughter's status in the mansion.

"Madame, don't worry, Madame has not always been in charge of matters in the house, how much of a wave can she make with a little girl." Wang Ma persuaded her: "Madame just needs to wait and see what happens, and when she enters the mansion, she will not let Madame rub it flat and knead it." ”

Aunt Liu's heart was a lot more comfortable when she heard it, just as Wang Ma said that all the affairs in the house have been in charge of her own over the years, and the backyard belongs to her own, and then there are two useless girls left, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Xiangye has not married his stepfamily in these years, as long as he manages the house in an orderly manner, he will not be able to raise the position of his wife.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" A girl in a pretty pink dress entered the room and looked at her mother sitting in a chair.

"Yun'er." Aunt Liu saw her precious daughter beckoning her to sit beside her.

"Miss, Miss will be back tomorrow." Wang Ma talked from the side.

"What Miss! Isn't I the only lady in the house? Ouyang Yun was puzzled.

"Miss, this eldest lady is the only concubine in the mansion from the previous Zheng family." Wang's mother explained: "She was frail and sick since she was a child, and was sent out of the house by Xiangye to recuperate, and now she is eleven years old and will return to the house tomorrow." ”

"What!" Ouyang Yun stopped hearing it, she was the only eldest lady in the mansion for so many years, and everyone in the mansion called her so, how could a stranger suddenly snatch her position.

"Yun'er." Aunt Liu patted the back of her daughter's hand and calmed her daughter down: "How can she be compared with you by a slut, don't worry, no one in the house dares to bully you, but you have to collect your temperament these days, and when the little slut returns home, the affairs of the inner garden are not all at the mercy of our mother and daughter." ”

"Hmph, that little slut, don't think that you can occupy my position in the mansion by relying on your identity as a concubine." Ouyang Yun said viciously.

"Mother won't let that little slut live well." How could Aunt Liu not understand her daughter's thoughts, she wished that the little slut would have an accident on the road, and it was better to die outside to save peace.
