Chapter 272: The Emperor (Extra)
They were the first to go up the mountain, Zhao Che didn't bring the palace people, and the palace people who led Shen Bai were also left far behind, the pavilion was quiet, and the snow fell a little heavier, pressing on the branches, and they couldn't bear it, so they fell down with a slump.
Shen Bai's eyes were clear and bright, and when he looked at Zhao Che, he was full of concern, without the slightest calculation.
Zhao Che's heart softened and softened, and when he heard Shen Bai chew the dried fruits in his mouth, he suppressed his emotions and said lightly: "It's nothing, eat your things." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look outside the pavilion.
It was much colder on the mountain than in the palace, and there was no sound except for the sound of falling snow.
Zhao Che could see it, his sleeve was suddenly pulled, he lowered his head, and a small and delicate hand stove was sent to him, Shen Bai said seriously: "When I was held by you just now, I felt that your hands were so cold, let's lend you warm up first." ”
"You're not afraid of the cold?" Zhao Che asked, Shen Bai was a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I am a child, and I am full of yang, so I will not be afraid of the cold." ”
She is not only a child, but also a girl, where does the yang come from?
Zhao Che wanted to laugh a little, and felt fortunate to see Shen Bai's expression of reluctance to cut his love.
Fortunately, the huge Hanjing is not all dark calculations for him, and there is a cute and loving one who is shining.
Zhao Che took the hand stove with appreciation, Shen Bai was still afraid of the cold, so he took the opportunity to stuff his hand into his hand and said, "You still hold me, there is still wind here, it will not be good if it blows me away for a while." With that, he threw another almond into his mouth.
Zhao Che gently grabbed her hand, and the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.
The two waited for almost a stick of incense in the pavilion, the wind and snow finally lightened, the palace people came down the mountain with umbrellas on their backs, Zhao Che took an umbrella and propped it on Shen Bai's head, and the two continued to move forward slowly.
Shen Bai still talked a lot, chattering all the way, and Zhao Che felt that the dark emotions induced in Ci'an Palace before were dissipating little by little.
When they arrived at the palace, both of them were sweating, afraid that Shen Bai would catch a cold, so Zhao Che asked the palace people to send hot water to bathe her and change her clothes first.
Shen Bai was taught by the queen to take a bath by herself when she was three years old, and Zhao Che didn't let the palace people serve her, just prepared clean clothes for her and left.
The room of the two was arranged in one place, Zhao Che came out after washing and changing clothes, and Shen Bai happened to open the door and come out.
Shen Bai's clothes were sent by Zhao Che in advance to the people of the Internal Affairs Office according to her size, and at this time Shen Bai was wearing a pink cotton coat, covered with a cotton gown of the same color, and the gown had a silver silk embroidered Pixiu, which was very in line with her image of a small wealth fan.
The neckline and cuffs of the gown are covered with a circle of white fluff, which is not as fancy as usual, and she is white and tender, and she is very cute.
As soon as she came out, the palace people couldn't help but light up, and they vied with each other to praise: "Young Master Shen is so beautiful in this dress." ”
Her hair was a little scattered, and she couldn't comb it yet, Zhao Che frowned slightly, and one of the palace people had a little eyesight, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, the slave can comb her hair, but you want to help Young Master Shen comb her hair again?" ”
Zhao Che acquiesced, and the palace people entered the house and helped Shen Bai tie two balls, and for the sake of celebration, he still used a red hairband, which made Shen Bai's lips more and more red and white.
Shen Bai had never tied his hair like this, and it looked very good-looking, but Zhao Che only glanced at it and ordered with a calm face: "Tear it down." ”
The palace people were puzzled, and asked sneeringly: "Young Master Shen is so good-looking, is there anything wrong with the slave maid?" ”
There's nothing wrong with my hair tied up, it's just too cute, not like a boy.
Although he knew that Shen Bai was at an age where he could not distinguish between male and female, and no one would see any problems because of this, Zhao Che still ordered the palace people to tear off his hair and tie Shen Bai in a little Taoist bun again.
The craftsmanship of the palace people is good, and Shen Bai is also good-looking, so it is also cute.
Zhao Che's face paleled slightly, and he rewarded the palace people and led Shen Bai to Zhaohua Palace.
The hall had already lit a charcoal fire, and it was very warm as soon as they walked in, and as soon as the two arrived, Zhao Chou came in immediately.
He looked very embarrassed, there were obvious stains on his clothes, he should have fallen when he went up the mountain and didn't have time to change his clothes, and when he saw Zhao Che and Shen Bai Youzai sitting in the hall, his face became more and more ugly.
Zhao Che didn't want to quarrel with Zhao Chou, Zhao Chou was also a little stunned by Zhao Che, pointed the finger at Shen Bai, and deliberately ridiculed: "Yo, whose young lady is this, how did you get here?" ”
Shen Bai was secretly eating dried fruits, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped up and said angrily: "Who are you scolding?" ”
She grew up under the queen's knees, and she is no stranger to Zhao Chou, she is not afraid, and she doesn't care about his status as a prince, so she can say whatever she wants.
Zhao Chou didn't spoil Shen Bai like Zhao Che, he raised his head high and asked: "How can you talk to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is the prince, what are you?" ”
No one else was there, and Zhao Chou spoke very arrogantly.
He didn't dare to bully Zhao Che, but it was more than enough to bully one Shen Bai.
The prince is amazing, isn't he a nose and two eyes?
Shen Bai rolled her eyes, she jumped down from the chair, walked in front of Zhao Chou, looked up at Zhao Chou, and said word by word: "I am Shen Bai, the only son of Shen Ruxiu, the prince of the dynasty, and the fourth highness, they are all with handles, and the fourth highness has bad eyes when he is young, no wonder he will fall when he walks, you have to be careful in the future, if you knock your head, it will not be good." ”
Shen Bai's voice was low, only enough for her and Zhao Chou to hear, and the palace people who were waiting for Zhao Chou did not come in outside the hall.
Although she is younger than Zhao Chou, her brain is much better than Zhao Chou.
Zhao Chou didn't expect Shen Bai to dare to reply so hardly, so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit Shen Bai, but as soon as his hand was raised, Shen Bai sat on the ground and cried.
The next moment, Zhou Jue and Gu Hengzhou walked into the hall together, and there were several children of the family behind them.
Shen Bai's acting skills are excellent, and he rolls on the ground while screaming.
Everyone looked at each other, what's the matter, how did the Fourth Highness bully the little fart child of the Shen family?
There was no one else in the hall, and from the perspective of entering the door, Shen Bai was very likely to be pushed down by Zhao Chou, but Zhao Che sat in the hall and saw very clearly that Zhao Chou didn't even touch Shen Bai with a finger.
Zhao Chou subconsciously looked at Zhao Che, and Zhao Che said without changing his face: "Fourth brother, Young Master Shen is young and unscrupulous, even if there is something that offends you, you shouldn't beat her." ”
Zhao Che helped to confirm Zhao Chou's charges, Zhao Chou was very wronged, angry, pointed at Zhao Che and said angrily: "Zhao Che, don't spew blood, when did I push her?" ”
He called Zhao Che's name, but the next moment he heard Emperor Hengde's cold and solemn voice: "Rui Xuan is your brother, and he is the prince of Zhaoling, who gave you the courage to call him by his name?" ”
Everyone got out of the way and saluted in unison, and Shen Bai also stopped crying with interest, and only sat on the ground, looking at Emperor Hengde with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Chou didn't expect Emperor Hengde to go up the mountain so soon, and he happened to see this scene, he was angry at this moment, and he didn't think so much, pointing at Shen Bai and Zhao Che and saying: "Father, this kid of the Shen family and the imperial brother have teamed up to frame the son!" ”
Shen Bai is not in a hurry to defend at this time, her little shoulders shrugged, she is dressed cutely at this time, even if she is already notorious, it only makes people feel that she is a pitiful little pity.
Emperor Hengde ignored Zhao Chou and bent down to pick up Shen Bai.
He also practiced martial arts when he was young, and it was no problem to hold a Shen Bai with one hand, but Shen Bai's weight was still beyond his imagination, he scratched Shen Bai's nose and asked with a smile: "Looking at the little one, why is it so heavy?" ”
Shen Bai said embarrassedly: "Bai'er will be less ...... in the future Eat less. ”
Where is it to let her eat less, Emperor Hengde also smiled and asked her: "Did you hurt yourself in the fall?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head obediently and said, "The clothes are thick, and they don't hurt very much, but the fourth brother said that I am like a little girl, and I am very sad." ”
Shen Bai's thinking was clear, his small eyebrows were twisted into hemp rope, and he sighed after speaking, which was very vivid.
Emperor Hengde couldn't help laughing, rubbed her head, and said: "Bai'er is indeed more beautiful than many little girls, this is a good thing, when you grow up in the future, you will be the handsome son of Zhilan Yushu, I don't know how many women in Beijing will be fascinated." ”
If she is really a man, she will only be the prodigal son who is in the twilight, and I don't know how many girls will hurt her sincerity. Number One
Emperor Hengde sat down on the main seat with Shen Bai in his arms, then lifted his eyes to look at Zhao Chou, and said in a deep voice: "Jing Yuan, you don't respect your brother, you don't care for your young, and you have forgotten all the rules you learned in Tai Academy on weekdays?" ”
Emperor Hengde's tone was very serious, with a thin anger, he attached importance to these, especially Zhao Chou and Zhao Che's history of laxatives, if he didn't control it well, he was afraid that something big would happen in the future.
Emperor Hengde had completely believed the words of Shen Bai and Zhao Che, Zhao Chou could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, kneeling down to admit his mistake: "Erchen has not forgotten, it is only today that he made such a big mistake in a moment of confusion, please calm my father's anger." ”
Emperor Hengde deliberately took this opportunity to beat Zhao Chou, and was about to speak, when Zhao Che preemptively said: "Erchen also thinks that the fourth brother is in a bad mood because he fell, and he didn't do it on purpose, please don't be too harsh on him." ”
Emperor Hengde was a little surprised that Zhao Che would help Zhao Hou speak, but then he felt that Zhao Che had done the right thing.
Emperor Hengde wants to beat Zhao Chou, there is more opportunities, there is no need to choose today, if it is rumored that Zhao Che and Zhao Chou's brothers are not compatible, it will be unfavorable to Zhao Che.
Emperor Hengde said a few more words to Zhao Chou, let him go down to change his clothes first, the other teenagers sat down, the palace people sent hot tea and snacks, Emperor Hengde picked a few to ask about the schoolwork, and everyone came together, and had lunch together.
The lunch was very rich, Sun Yuehai briefly introduced the activities and rules of the Donggui Festival next to him, and Emperor Hengde encouraged the teenagers to have the courage to express themselves, but more importantly, to pay attention to safety.
After lunch, Emperor Hengde went back to the palace, he still had a lot of government affairs to deal with, and he couldn't always play with this group of children.
Zhao Che is in charge of the overall situation for the first time, Emperor Hengde is not at ease, in addition to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he also left the Taiwei and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the palace, if something happens, the two can also help take care of it.
There are five days of this year's Winter Laurel Festival, and the teenagers are very tired from going up the mountain, so they don't arrange any activities in the afternoon, so they divide the rooms and go to rest.
Zhao Che couldn't rest, so he confirmed with the commander of the Praetorian Guard about the night guard and the change of guard, and personally went to the venue where the event was held to investigate the scene to ensure that the security measures were in place.
In the evening, everyone did not eat together, and ate in their respective rooms, Zhao Che only ate a little, and was busy until the end of the day, he had been walking in the snow, his shoes were wet a lot, and the people in the harem hurriedly sent hot water to soak his feet.
My feet were so cold that I soaked for a while before I eased up.
The body was very tired, he didn't soak for too long, so he wiped his feet and walked to the bed, took off his clothes and prepared to lie down, but when he lifted the quilt, he found that there was a white and soft meat dumpling hidden inside.
It's Shen Bai.
She didn't know when she came here, she slept soundly, and she didn't wake up when the quilt was lifted.
Zhao Che poked her cheeks, she had indeed gained weight again, and her little face was softer than before.
Shen Bai was not vigilant at all, spit out two bubbles, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Fool, you don't even know if you're sold."
Zhao Che whispered, and didn't let the palace people come in and take Shen Bai away, and lay down beside her.
Shen Bai slept very warmly on the bed, and after lying down, Shen Bai spontaneously rolled into his arms, like a fireball, so warm that the fatigue of the day was easily dispelled, Zhao Che couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and gently patted Shen Bai's back.
This night, Zhao Che slept very deeply.
Since the queen died of illness, he has not slept so well for a long time, and if it weren't for the palace people who saw the time too late to delay things, he might have been able to sleep until noon.
When he opened his eyes, his body was still in a state of sleep, and he subconsciously reached out to fish, and the soft and white little ball arched out of the quilt, looked at him with a smile, and said: "I caught it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also likes to sleep lazy!" ”
Her hair was unkempt, her face was red, and her smile was bright and bright, as if the best sunshine in the morning had poured in.
The corners of Zhao Che's lips hooked, and he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a human being, can't he sleep lazy?" ”
"Absolutely." Shen Bai nodded, arched the quilt and sat down, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, I won't say anything about your lazy sleep today." ”
In order to increase credibility, Shen Bai also deliberately patted his small chest.
The sky was already shining outside, and knowing that the hour was not early, Zhao Che sat up, called the palace people in, helped Shen Bai get dressed, and then asked the palace people to help freshen up.
Quickly sorted out, Zhao Che took Shen Bai to Zhaohua Palace, the palace people had already served breakfast, Zhao Che took Shen Bai into the house, did not let others salute, and sat down directly for dinner.
This morning, there is a literary test, everyone recites poetry together, paints, and cultivates sentiment first.
After eating, Zhao Che led everyone to the garden to sit down and start the literary exam.
Taiwei and Shaoqing of Dali Temple are both there, and the topics of the literary examination have been set by the masters of Tai Academy a long time ago, and the topics are announced by Tai Wei.
It is the middle of winter at this time, and the topic is naturally related to winter, so everyone only needs to choose the scenery that only has winter to make a poem, and then divide the high and low according to the artistic conception of the poem.
As soon as the topic came out, the teenagers began to compose poems one after another.
Shen Bai didn't have to participate in the competition, she was always eating snacks next to her, and Zhao Che didn't know how she could eat so many things with such a small body.
Feeling Zhao Che's gaze, Shen Bai leaned into Zhao Che's ear and whispered: "I hate memorizing poems the most, these people look at the scenery when they see the scene, why do they write poems to express what feelings, it's hard to memorize, not to mention, but also to experience their feelings at the time, they are likely to deliberately pile up words in order to win the competition, what is the good feeling?" ”
Thinking of the pain of studying, Shen Bai complained very much.
Zhao Che thought her statement was quite funny, and said: "Then you will also write more poems in the future, so that later people can memorize more." ”
"I don't do this kind of immoral thing."
Shen Bai muttered in a low voice, writing poems is too boring, she has to write a notebook, write a lot of legendary and thrilling stories, and let the troupe perform for everyone to watch.
Shen Bai didn't say the rest of the words, last time Zhao Che took her notebook to complain to Shen Ruxiu, the scholars around her were replaced, she felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince definitely didn't like these things.
Among this group of teenagers, Si Ruming, the son of the Marquis of Lingyang, is the oldest, he is about the same age as Wei Ruzhao, and now he is fourteen, he is a very handsome and bookish son, and he is also the hottest candidate for the dragon fast son-in-law in Zhaoling at the moment, I heard that the matchmaker is about to step on the threshold of the Lingyang Marquis Mansion.
And now there are a lot of crazy men and women in Beijing who are written based on him, Shen Bai saw him for the first time, and felt that the humanistic pen of those who wrote books was really not good, and failed to depict Si Ruoming's temperament.
Shen Bai also wanted to write a notebook, and took the opportunity to observe Si Ruoming energetically.
After watching it too many times, it was difficult for Zhao Che not to notice it, although he knew that she was still young now, and there was no love between men and women at all, Zhao Che still couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?" ”
"He's so good-looking." Shen Bai said truthfully, Zhao Che picked up the dim sum on her plate and took a bite, and said, "Where is it beautiful?" ”
Shen Bai didn't notice that something was wrong, and counted it with his fingers: "His eyes, nose, and mouth are all very good-looking, and he is very tall, and he looks good in clothes. ”
Zhao Che swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "It's all just a rumor, do you know it's true?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the poem written by Si Ruoming was ready, and when the ink dried up, the palace people picked it up and showed it to everyone, and the young people all exclaimed.
Si Ruoming used a lot of rare words, and Shen Bai couldn't even read them well, but from the exclamations of everyone, he also knew that the poems written by Si Ruoming were very good.
She turned her head to Zhao Che and said, "Look, he is really powerful, it can be seen that the rumors are true." ”
The rumors also say that you are unruly, and you will become a small scourge in the future, do you think it is true?
Zhao Che slandered and took a piece of dim sum to block Shen Bai's mouth.
There is no doubt that Si Ruoming won the poem, and the next step is to paint.
Shen Bai was full of pastries and couldn't sit still, shuttling back and forth between everyone with his little hands behind his back, and then dangled to Si Ruoming's side, stretching his neck to look at his paintings.
Si Ruoming had a gentle temper, and he didn't say anything when he saw that she was cute, and acquiesced to her standing next to him.
After a while, Si Ruoming was the first to hand in the painting, and Shen Bai saw that he painted very simply, and said unashamedly: "If you can get the first place like this, then I can too." ”
