Chapter 48: Returning Home
Staring at Zhu Houzhao reading, this matter is not so easy.
If Zhu Houzhao can learn and succeed, there may not be a commendation, but if there is no progress, then I don't know how many people will chew their tongues behind their backs.
Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Xie Zhi returned to the East Palace in a somewhat hazy manner.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Houzhao greeted him and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" Did your father punish you? ”
Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao a little listlessly, and said decadently: "Your Majesty ordered the grass people to stay in the East Palace and accompany His Highness to study." ”
Of course, Xie Zhi is not stupid, he will not tell Zhu Houzhao the truth, saying that Emperor Hongzhi stayed to let him watch him study.
People are rebellious, if Xie Zhi said so, what Zhu Houzhao could accept would backfire in the end.
Sure enough, after Xie Zhi's words came out, Zhu Houzhao was still a little excited, and said excitedly: "That's good, in this way, you will be able to play chess with this palace for a long time!" ”
Zhu Houzhao bargained for a bargain in backgammon, so he still thought that he could win Xie Zhi.
If Xie Zhi wanted to save face, he wouldn't always be used to winning chess with Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was delighted, Xie Zhi pulled up a smile, and said: "It's good, it's just that there are many rules in the palace, and the grass people are afraid that they will accidentally violate the royal etiquette!" ”
Speaking of this issue, Zhu Houzhao had more common words, and echoed: "Xie Wu, why didn't you find out earlier, you are really the bosom friend of this palace, the etiquette in this palace is really troublesome enough, this is not good, that is not good... You are still living outside for a while, unlike this palace, you have been bound by the royal rules since birth, how can your father be so wise and leave you in the East Palace, just right, you also experience the grievances of this palace. ”
Isn't it rare to have such a bosom friend Xie Zhicai?
In response to Zhu Houzhao's words, Xie Zhi reluctantly replied: "Since Your Majesty has a will, it can only be like this." ”
In the afternoon, the weather had cleared, and the lectures were naturally back to normal.
When Wang Dehui was teaching, Zhu Houzhao's attitude was obviously much more correct, and he was not as wandering as before.
Wang Dehui, as the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, naturally hopes that Zhu Houzhao can study hard.
After the close relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi, there was such a change, Wang Dehui thought that Zhu Houzhao could have such a change because of Xie Zhi.
Facts have proved that it does have something to do with Xie Zhi.
In the evening, after Wang Dehui talked for a few hours, he got up and walked to Xie Zhi's side, and said: "Your Highness, you will supervise more, and you should rest assured that your mind is on reading." ”
Since Wang Dehui has settled down like this, Xie Zhi can only reply: "Yes, the student understands." ”
If you don't supervise, you can say that you agree first.
Seeing Wang Dehui leave, Xie Zhicai said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the grass people have to go home, I have to report to my mother, and by the way, I will get some change of clothes." ”
Xie Zhi was left in the East Palace, and he didn't know when he would be able to go home.
In the summer, I don't have to change my clothes, so I can't stink?
Zhu Houzhao did not refuse Xie Zhi's request, and then said: "Okay, this is natural, this palace will accompany you!" ”
A piece to go? Xie Zhi was still thinking that if someone went home, he would have to go back to the East Palace.
Even if you want to stay overnight in the East Palace, won't it be tomorrow?
Now that Zhu Houzhao wants to go with him, can't he not come back?
Xie Zhi was a little embarrassed, and Zhu Houzhao asked rhetorically: "I'm afraid you're not going to Master Wang's house, right?" What is so good about that Wang Shouren? ”
Zhu Houzhao, he still doesn't look down on Wang Shouren now?
I don't know, he will have to use someone else one day.
Of course, everything has to be told by facts, and now Xie Zhi can't explain so much to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's complaint, Xie Zhi just thought he hadn't heard it.
Soon, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao went back to Xie's house.
When Xie Zhi returned home, Emperor Hongzhi's will to ask Xie Zhi to stay in the East Palace had arrived.
Since Emperor Hongzhi wanted Xie Zhi to be a good example for Zhu Houzhao, he naturally had to be justified and solve all Xie Zhi's worries.
Xie Zhi just didn't go home for a day, and those subordinates of the Xie family seemed to have not seen him for a long time.
From the doorman to the gardener to the other maids, one by one, he shouted in his mouth: "The fifth young master is back, the fifth young master is back..."
Zhu Houzhao on the side was quite surprised and asked, "Do you come back like this every day?" ”
Xie Zhi shook his head and replied, "No, who can know what crazy it is!" ”
With that, Mrs. Xie hurried out.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao next to Xie Zhi, he was stunned for a moment, and saluted: "Your Highness... Your Highness, come into the house and sit, and the master will be back in a moment! ”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand generously and said, "The palace will not sit, can Mrs. Xie receive the will of the father?" ”
Mrs. Xie replied truthfully: "I received it, Gonggong Xiao personally came to deliver the decree, and it didn't take long to leave. ”
Zhu Houzhao continued: "This palace accompanied Xie Wu to come back to get things, and from today onwards, Xie Wu will live in the East Palace." ”
Xie Zhi has just been changed, what if he stays in the East Palace for a long time?
After all, Mrs. Xie was still a little worried about Xie Zhi, and said with concern: "Zhi'er, when you arrive at the East Palace, you must abide by the etiquette law, and don't mess around!" ”
His wife, as the person who trusts him the most, is still not at ease with him.
It seems that he still needs to work harder.
Xie Zhi patted his chest and reassured, "Mother, you can rest assured, my son has changed for the better, I know how to do it, you are so heavy, don't worry about your son." ”
When several people were greeting in the courtyard, Xie Qian also returned home on duty.
Seeing Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao standing in the courtyard, he first greeted Zhu Houzhao, and then said: "Take Your Highness to the living room for a while, the old man and Xie Zhi have a few words to say." ”
Xie Zhi's previous task was to accompany Zhu Houzhao to study in the East Palace, but now he has one more task to stare at Zhu Houzhao to study.
It can be said that there is a long way to go, Xie Qian has no choice but to settle down Xie Zhi.
After Xie Qian's command was spoken, Zhu Houzhao said: "The palace is waiting here, Master Xie is hurrying." ”
Zhu Houzhao is actually a little spoiled, and sometimes he is very reasonable.
Since Zhu Houzhao had already agreed, Xie Zhi could only follow Xie Qian to the side.
"Do you know what Your Majesty means?"
Xie Zhi replied truthfully: "Clear, isn't it just staring at His Highness to read?" ”
Xie Qian replied solemnly: "It's good to know, His Royal Highness is the prince, his education is related to the society, since Your Majesty trusts you, you don't want to live up to Your Majesty's trust, most of the servants in the East Palace are His Royal Highness, this is also Your Majesty's intention to leave your companion by Your Majesty's side." ”
Xie Zhiben just wanted to change the image of the original owner.
Now that Emperor Hongzhi has this will, he can also do it, and if he can also take Zhu Houzhao well, this can be regarded as a way to change his image.
