As soon as dawn broke, the glorious palace with heavy towers and the towering vermilion city wall were still covered in a gray mist. 【Reading.com】

Only the East Palace is brightly lit, with palace maids holding copper basins for washing, as well as changing clothes in and out.

Your Highness, did you get up so early to practice martial arts? The person who spoke was Grandma Sun, and she looked sleepy.

Well. It's still early, you all rest, I'll go alone. Aiqing, who looks completely conscious, is wearing shoes and socks by herself.

How can this be, how can there be a reason for the master to get up and let people sleep by themselves. Mama Sun shook her head again and again, immediately

Beckoned the palace maid to come and serve the prince to freshen up.

It's just that, Your Highness, you read late at night last night, and now you get up so early, don't get tired...... Mama Sun couldn't help but nag a few more words.

Mama, I'm not tired. I made an appointment with the crown prince Fu to practice swords, so don't worry about me. The crown prince Fu that Aiqing said is Qingyun, the leader of the emperor's special Iron Eagle Knight.

He was in his early forties, but he looked very young and strong, but he had not yet married and had been living with his brother Qingyi.

Qingyun is busy outside the palace most of the time, responsible for spying and collecting secret information at home and abroad, as for what kind of information, Aiqing does not know.

Prepare me a box of snacks from the Imperial Dining Room and I'll bring them to the master. Aiqing thought about it and said again.

Yes, Your Highness.

After Mama Sun prepared all the things for the prince, the sky was much brighter, and surrounded by the guards and eunuchs, she went to Wanhuayuan, the place where the prince practiced martial arts.

Speaking of which, there are several prince's masters, and the one who teaches literature is the prince's master, that is, Wen Chaoyang. And the martial arts teacher, the crown prince Fu Qingyun, also specializes in teaching horse riding, swimming, ancestor worship etiquette, and palace rules and etiquette......

The princes had to go to school from the age of four, and this learning was all-encompassing, from how to speak, to learning its Chinese, from standing and sitting, to getting on horses and fighting, there was nothing that should not be learned.

And the prince's homework is particularly heavy, and he still has to learn the way to be a king. So after Aiqing gets up every day, she goes to different schools, and it doesn't end until dusk comes.

Moreover, except for a few major festivals, such as the New Year's sacrifice to his ancestors, the birthday of the emperor and empress, and his own birthday, he had to go to school regardless of wind, rain, or ice.

It's not that Aiqing doesn't like to read, it's just that at this age, he has to be a little more active, except for the swordsmanship taught by Qingyun and the course of horseback riding and archery, he feels bored and bored.

When I came to Wanhuayuan, in addition to the two servants who were responsible for replacing the stirrups and harnesses, even the sparring partners selected from the prince's palace had not yet arrived, and the time was still early!

Qing Yun arrived, admiring the sword that had just been sharpened yesterday.

Good morning, master. Aiqing shouted from afar.

Qing'er. Qingyun has dark skin and a handsome face, and when she sees Aiqing, she smiles and shows her snow-white teeth, why is it so early today and she doesn't sleep for a while?

The tone was completely doting on the prince, or rather, loving him as if he were his own nephew.

Early birds get worms. Aiqing bowed and said without slackening, isn't this how the master teaches the apprentice?

Oh, yes. Qingyun touched the back of her head and asked in confusion, but don't you keep saying that early worms are eaten by birds?

That was in the past. Aiqing is serious, I brought you breakfast, and you came without eating, right?

yes, I'm hungry. Qingyun lifted the food box brought by the eunuch, opened the exquisite red lacquer and gold-painted cover, and there was a plate of soybean stuffed phoenix feet, a plate of hand-grasped beef sauce and a few steamed buns, yes, they were all his favorite foods.

Apart from my brother, His Highness knows me best. Qing Yun said with a smile.

Master, you enjoy it slowly, and the apprentice will go to practice the sword for a while. If it was before, Aiqing would have sat down to gnaw phoenix claws with his master, laughing and chatting, but today, he bowed and stepped aside.

Qing Yun looked at him in confusion, should he say that the sun came out in the west? This prince is like a different person, and he speaks and does things very well, which is unsettling.

And this has been going on for days!

Qingyun grew up watching Aiqing, how to say it, he is the pistachio in the palace, from the emperor to the palace servant, no one doesn't like him.

No, Qing Yun frowned, except for Wen Chaoyang, who didn't smile.

Although Aiqing was born in the palace, he rarely rigidly abides by the palace rules, laughs when he wants to laugh, cry when he wants to cry, and is not pretentious, he wants to see the imperial sister, even if he risks being punished, he has to go to the nursery.

His naivety and recklessness are innate, although this kind of character has made him suffer, but he never cares, Qingyun likes Aiqing quite much.

Could it be that he was punished by Ke Weiqing again? Qingyun could think that this was what made Qing'er change.

What trouble did he get into? Qing Yun thought about it, extremely worried about this precious apprentice, and solved it early, he carried his sword to teach Qing'er.

Aiqing practiced meticulously and without mistakes, and after two hours, she didn't cry out that she was tired, but Qingyun looked distressed and put him back.

After that, Qingyun went to Changchun Palace to meet Ke Weiqing, thinking that if the prince made a mistake, he could help intercede.

Unexpectedly, Ke Weiqing heard this, just smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that Qing'er has been very peaceful for a while, and it should be said that he is very obedient, and even Wen Chaoyang is praising him for his goodness.

In the school, Aiqing not only recited the text fluently, but also was able to match the pair.

This is the first time in the world!

At this time, Qingyun wondered even more, if the prince was really so good, why was Ke Weiqing's expression faintly worried and depressed?

Isn't such a well-behaved prince what he wants?

Qingyun understands how difficult Ke Weiqing, as the mother of a country, has in raising the crown prince, especially Aiqing is the crown prince who Huang Ye insists on canonizing, if he often makes mistakes, it will be the emperor's prestige that will be affected the most.

But it always backfires...... Aiqing has his own choices, he rarely cares about his status as a prince, mingles with his subordinates, and is also very generous and friendly to his brothers, never distinguishing between dignity and inferiority, and taking the lead in causing trouble, so he has not made Ke Weiqing angry.

The two were talking, Aiqing came, he came to say good afternoon to his father, and after that, he was going to go to Wen Chaoyang's class.

Ai Qing bowed respectfully, and when she saw her father and Master Qingyun, she no longer ran in like before, jumping in, and in Ke Weiqing's words, she didn't look like she was walking.

will also secretly cover Ke Weiqing's eyes who are reading a book, and let him guess who it is.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been blind to palace rules, is now the etiquette that should be observed, the duty that should be done, and the meticulous observance.

Ke Weiqing nodded, and wanted to say, you listen to Master Wen's lecture well. felt redundant, so he waved him down, and there was no easy topic to talk about between father and son.

Aiqing bowed and withdrew, Ke Weiqing looked at his well-behaved figure, feeling so strange.

It's true that this look looks like the crown prince, but ...... Qing Yun also felt the same way, he looked at Ke Weiqing, and sighed, these days, he hasn't laughed once, just like a puppet.

Ke Weiqing's eyes widened slightly, stunned, and then lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he only turned into a silent sigh
