Sima Qin was a studious child, and he needed to be quiet enough when he was studying, so as long as he was studying, everyone in the East Palace would try to keep their voices low as much as possible, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was quite popular with the queen and the king of Changsha.

Sima Qin is very competitive, his own hard work and natural intelligence make him progress rapidly in his schoolwork, and several Taifu have praised him for his promising future, which makes Yang Xianrong very happy, and also makes Sima Yi very relieved, and he is more and more serious about him, which better motivates Sima Qin and makes him work harder and harder.

Yang Xianrong pulled Sima Qin with a smile, pointed to the dark sky outside, and said, "Hard work is a good thing, but the body is the most important thing." You want to succeed in learning, but if your body collapses, no matter how high your knowledge is, no matter how ambitious your ambitions are, it is useless. ”

Sima Qin smiled embarrassedly and nodded heavily. Yang Xianrong has always cared more about his body than about his schoolwork, thinking that he is excellent in schoolwork, it is true that no one needs to worry about it, as for the body, since his mother went, he has lost weight from excessive concentration, and until now, his body is dry, but it really doesn't look like a pampered nobleman.

"Eat first," Yang Xianrong said, "After dinner, I will test you, and then you will settle early, I heard that you sometimes don't sleep when you are over, but you can't do this anymore." ”

Sima Tan nodded again, said "Got it", looked at Sima Xuanhua again, and asked, "Are Niangniang and my sister dining in my East Palace?" ”

Both of them nodded, and Sima Tan became happy, and told the people outside to let the dining room cook a few more dishes. He grew up with his mother since he was a child, his mother was a simple and simple person, very opposed to extravagance and waste, often told Sima Qin that Emperor Wu founded the foundation of the hardships, and now the country is initially determined, the treasury is empty, as a subject should restrain himself, for the country to save a point is a point. Influenced by his mother since childhood, Sima Qin is not an extravagant and wasteful person, when entering and leaving the East Palace, every time he eats, a table full of big fish and meat, he is not used to asking for a reduction in dishes, but was rejected by the King of Qi, and scolded him for being so stingy and stingy with His Royal Highness the Prince, violating his identity and losing his bearing. Later, when the king of Changsha ascended the throne, he asked to reduce the use of the East Palace, Sima Yi was afraid of wronging him, but then he couldn't help his repeated pleas, and finally agreed. Every time he eats in the future, he will have a fixed set of two dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetarian, which is enough for him as a child less than ten years old.

Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua rarely set foot in the East Palace, let alone eat here, so this time they were willing to stay with him, Sima Qin was very happy, for fear of wronging the two, so he hurriedly called the kitchen to add vegetables, and then looked at the two of them embarrassedly, it was already dinner time at this time, and it would be even later to make new dishes in the kitchen, he was afraid that he would be hungry to his mother and sister.

"Why did we come to your East Palace, and you are so shy? In the past, you have never been like this in the Xianyang Hall or Changle Palace. Sima Xuanhua said with a smile.

"You don't come here," Sima Tan was even more embarrassed by Yang Xianrong, and said a little awkwardly: "I'm always afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and you will not come in the future." ”

Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua both laughed, this child is not very old, but his thoughts are quite deep. But on the other hand, Sima Xuanhua saw his loneliness, his mother was only one child with him, before he grew up, his mother went, he also entered the palace, Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua both liked him but could not always accompany him, this huge East Palace was alone with him and a group of people who did not dare to get too close to him, sometimes he didn't know who to talk to, so it was rare for Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua to come over, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Sima Xuanhua looked at Sima Qin, and thought of herself, she always felt that she was already very sad, her mother died early, and her three sisters left her, but thinking about Sima Tan, she felt that this child was more pitiful than herself, so she pitied this child even more.

"If you like it," Sima Xuanhua said with a smile: "I will often come to accompany you in the future, the reason why I didn't come here before was because I was afraid of disturbing your study, and I was really a little overwhelmed when I met a diligent and studious child like you." ”

Sima Qin scratched his head and said, "Niang Niang said that there must always be a combination of work and rest." ”

The three of them joked and joked for a while, the dining room finally made dinner, a few people talked and laughed to fill their stomachs, Yang Xianrong took Sima Tan's book again, tested his two articles, saw that he was fluent in answers, very satisfied, and also saw that it was really not early, so he told him to rest early, and she and Sima Xuanhua left.

Out of the East Palace, Sima Xuanhua told Yang Xianrong about the worries in his heart, Sima Qin is excellent but lonely, there is no one around him, not even a playmate of the same age, he can only bury himself in endless homework, because in addition, he can't put the bitterness in his heart.

Yang Xianrong was a little surprised, she had always been proud of Sima Tan's excellence, but she rarely paid attention to his inner thoughts, because the child had lost his mother early, she pitied him and tried her best to be good to him, but it was all superficial food, clothing, housing and transportation, at most she would tell him the truth that was not in the book, and she didn't know anything about the loneliness in his heart. She has never lacked people around her since she was a child, and sometimes she can't even think about being quiet, she can't understand what a child's loneliness is like.

Su Chen followed behind Yang Xianrong, and said at this time: "Your Highness is right, I am the only one in the slave family, my father always has to work for the family, and the slave and maid are often trapped at home alone, and they can't hold it back, so they talk to the tables and chairs, and the taste is indeed uncomfortable." ”

Yang Xianrong was silent for a moment, frowned and asked the two, "What do you mean?" ”

"Although there is no shortage of people in the East Palace, these people are not of the same age as Qin Er, not to mention, when Qin Er first entered the palace, these people were forced by the pressure of King Qi and did not dare to get too close to the prince, and now it is difficult to gain the trust of the prince." Sima Xuanhua has been thinking about a solution in his heart since he just noticed Sima Tan's loneliness, and after a meal, he has some thoughts now: "So in my opinion, it is better to find a son of the right age in the noble family to enter the palace for His Royal Highness to read, Qin Er is the prince, and he can't be without someone close to him and trusts." ”

Yang Xianrong nodded, this is not a bad way, in the future, Sima Qin will face a bloody storm, and it is a terrible thing to have no one around who can be trusted, she is a little annoyed that she didn't think of this layer earlier, and now that Sima Yue is about to enter Beijing, the time is a little short.

"Among the nobles of the family in Beijing, do you have any candidates for choice?" Yang Xianrong asked Sima Xuanhua.

Sima Xuanhua shook his head, she probably understands the nobles of the family, there are many young masters around ten years old, but she doesn't know who can really defend the prince.

Yang Xianrong was silent all the way, obviously thinking about this matter in her heart, when the two were about to separate, her eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "We are trapped by our identity, although the son of the nobles of the family has a prominent family, but the interests behind him are too complicated, why don't we jump out and see, why do we have to be those sons?" Among these sons, how can there be more diligent and excellent people than Qin Er? ”

"Niang Niang has a candidate?" Sima Xuanhua asked. This sheep never does things according to common sense, but it usually has different effects, Sima Xuanhua trusts her, also because she is really a person with a lot of ideas in her head.

"How is Xiao Hu?" Yang Xianrong asked excitedly, it was purely unintentional for the Yang family to adopt this child at that time, but they didn't expect it to help them a lot today.

Sima Xuanhua also laughed, although Xiao Hu is not the son of a family, but this child has a good temperament, he is still young, simple-minded, and he is also a hard-working person, now Yang Ting is about to leave Beijing, although he was handed over to Yan Sheng, but Yan Sheng is often on duty in the palace, and the time that can take him is limited, so it is better to take him into the palace and put him next to Sima Qin. Xiao Hu is an orphan, there is no background behind him, and he is naturally not disturbed after entering the palace, and the two study together, eat and live together, and once the young friendship is established, it is difficult to destroy.

Sima Xuanhua agreed to Yang Xianrong's proposal, and at the same time, she immediately had a new idea: "Qin Er Shangwen, Xiao Hu Shangwu, this is a good thing, Qin Er will have someone to protect him in case of danger in the future, but Xiao Hu's half-hung martial arts still have to find a master seriously, Niang Niang just said Yan Sheng, I think there is no more suitable person besides him." ”

"That's what you said." Yang Xianrong praised: "Tomorrow I will discuss with the King of Changsha, take Xiao Hu in, and then transfer Yan Sheng to the East Palace, give him the official position of the head of the sect, let him teach Yan Sheng kung fu, Qin Er can't get too into the books, let him also learn martial arts together, but I don't ask him how deep his attainments, physical fitness is the basic, and he can also protect himself when necessary." ”

The two discussed for a long time, how to say how to think this is the best way, so the next morning, Yang Xianrong sent Zhang back to Yangfu, and conveyed her meaning to Yang Ting, Yang Ting listened, and said that this is a great thing, Xiao Hu not only learned kung fu, but also has a secure future in the future, so he quickly packed up his burden, and let him follow Zhang back into the palace, before parting, the two of them were indispensable to say goodbye, Xiao Hu is a person who values feelings, Yang Ting is good to him, he recognized this master, so he cried bitterly, reluctantly followed Zhang back into the palace.

On the other hand, Sima Yi's movements were also very fast, and after Yang Xianrong told him what he was asking for, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately issued an order to transfer Yan Sheng to the East Palace, and let him directly become Sima Tan's master and teach him kung fu. Xiao Hu is the apprentice that Yang Ting gave to Yan Sheng, he was already going to pick him up, this change came suddenly, but I heard that this child entered the palace, and later learned kung fu with him with the prince, and he was relieved, not to mention that he was promoted when he entered the East Palace, so everyone was really happy.
