Seeing such a harmonious picture of them, Shen Ling on the side was very displeased, her uncle only loved her before, but now she has a little sister, not only to occupy her future property, but also to carve up her uncle's love, where is she willing? ! She swore that she would never let this little girl go lightly!
For Fox Dumb, it is not particularly difficult to make a man like her, except for her master Feng Yuan, of course, so Fox Dumb will go out and pretend to be cute in the next few months, especially this man is still her own father who is related to her, so her own father Li Shu was finally taken down by her, as if the previous estrangement was not there.
Tong GuΓ² got along in the past few months, and the fox also found that her father was actually a very gentle man, who would often hold him in the yard to bask in the sun, read to her, and smile brightly at her.
Look, how good this father is, I don't know how much better it is than a certain strict fox in the family, maybe this is the legendary reality is unsatisfactory, as long as the dream comes to make up, so the fox prays dumbly, and then make this dream a little longer.
Then it was really as she wished, and she dreamed that she was one year old, and she could walk and talk, and she would touch her father with her pink lips and say, "Dad, beautiful!" β
Li Shu was very happy, and also kissed her to confirm again, "Does Yu'er really think Daddy is good-looking?" β
"Hmm" Fox nodded dumbly, to be honest, Fox dumbly didn't lie, because as far as Fox Dumb looked, his father was no worse than Feng Yuan and Lisu.
At the first birthday banquet, the Li family invited all their relatives and colleagues, and some people who wanted to laugh at Li Shu's mentality were also suppressed by Li Shu's attention, so the whole banquet was a harmonious picture.
After three rounds of drinking, a few maids came up to clean up the middle table, spread a brightly colored tablecloth, Li Shu hugged the fox to the center of the platform, she had a few different things at hand, there were books, snacks and some silver taels, which means that in the future is to be a knowledgeable lady, or a gluttonous girl who likes to eat, or a smart person who can manage money and is good at business, they call it catching lots.
"Yu'er, hurry up and choose one!" Li Shu motioned to her.
Let her choose her, what's so difficult about this, among these three, of course she didn't hesitate to choose food and silver, books, she looked, cut, not the little book she wanted to read, don't want it! So she directly took the silver and snacks into her arms, and threw the books out!
The book was tossed out by her little hands, and then a shrill child's voice was heard from behind the crowd.
"Who hit me with a book?" The boy's cry was very abrupt in the quiet room.
The crowd dispersed, and the fox was stunned to see a little boy with a stuffed mouth glaring at her.
"Who are you?" The fox asked with a look of arrogance.
"Of course I amβahem, ahemβ" The boy began to cough as he began to speak, as all the food in his mouth squirted out.
"Hey, my little ancestor, the slave said why can't I find you, so you're here!" A man dressed as a eunuch hurriedly pulled him down from his stool.
Li Shu is the prime minister, his daughter is one year old, he will naturally invite people in the palace, the emperor did not come because he was slightly ill, but his most beloved son Guan You came.
It is also strange to say that the emperor obviously loves this son the most, but he did not canonize him as the prince, it is rumored that he also wanted to make Guan You the prince, but Guan You did not want to participate in the political affairs of the royal family at all, but only had a hobby of food, so the emperor did not force his son, after all, as long as he was good.
The prince who was canonized as the crown prince is called Guan Xian, who was born to the emperor's current queen of the main palace, and the prince would have come, but because he was the one who would inherit the unification in the future, the queen was extremely strict with him, and even on such days, Guan Xian was ordered to read in the South Academy, on the contrary, Guan You had no one to care, so he naturally wanted to come.
Li Shu saw that the person who was hit by the book turned out to be the emperor's favorite son, so he hurriedly took the fox off the platform, put it on the ground, and said to her, "Yu'er, this is the eleventh prince, you accidentally hit him, don't hurry up and apologize." β
"Daddy, I didn't know he would be there, so it should be that this prince got under my book inexplicably, why should I apologize to him?" The fox asked blankly, full of confidence.
"Yu'er-" Li Shu saw that his daughter looked innocent, and he couldn't figure out Guan You's temper, so cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was only worried about his daughter's fate.
It was the first time Guan You had seen the little girl who dared to contradict him, so on the contrary, he didn't feel angry at all about her unreasonableness, but more curious.
"What Ling Ai said also makes sense, maybe it was really the prince himself who got under her book." Guan You clapped his hands, looked at them and said, "So don't blame Ling Ai, Prime Minister." In addition, I have long heard that the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion is good, and the prince tasted it just now, and it was really good, and now that I am full, I will leave first, and I will come again next time I have a chance. β
After speaking, Guan You took the eunuch and left.
Li Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fortunately, the prince didn't bother with Yu'er, otherwise he wouldn't know how to end it.
"Youβ" Li Shu patted the fox's stunned head dotingly.
The fox slipped into his arms and smiled stupidly.
Such a scene fell under the eyes of Shen Ling who was not far away and even ironic, originally she had dressed up deliberately today, but everyone's eyes were not on her, which made her feel very frustrated, just now she almost let Li Yu get off the stage, but the prince was so generous, he didn't care at all, Shen Ling was very angry and angry.
If it weren't for the fact that her grandmother and uncle were too close to this Li Yu, she would have pushed her into the pond to feed the fish.
On the way back to the room, Shen Ling was held by her mother Li Ping, she pouted unhappily, lowered her head and kicked the stones.
"What's wrong with Xiaoling? You don't seem to be happy today? β
Shen Ling rolled her eyes and looked at her mother, "It's not because of that Li Yu, it's all her, and my elaborate dress is all in the soup." I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come, but I didn't come. β
In fact, Shen Ling didn't know anything about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all, but her mother Li Ping taught her since she was a child that her uncle was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and her father was Lord Shangshu, so the only one who was worthy of her in the world was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, so Shen Ling had a deep-rooted concept that the prince was hers, and no one was qualified to compete with her!
Li Ping touched her head, her eyes were shining, "Silly child, then Li Yu is a stupid girl, there is nothing to be afraid of, even if you knock her down, it will only be a bit of property, your eyes should be the future Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so you have to read your homework well now, embroider well with female red, and practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well!" β
In order to be worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shen Ling's childhood was spent in a bunch of books, female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings.
It's a fox stupid, because of the amazing ability to pick food that she has shown since she was a child, plus falling asleep when she reads a book, and wiping her mouth as soon as she gets the female red, Mrs. Li and Li Shu simply want to open, anyway, there is only one child in the family, she can do whatever she wants, and when she grows up, she will find a good family affair and end it, and she doesn't have to enter the palace.
Their open-mindedness also further fulfilled the innocence of the fox's stupid childhood.
It's like when Shen Ling was studying, the fox was dumb and got up, Shen Ling should practice the piano, the fox was already done with a bunch of food, Shen Ling wanted to learn from the female red, the fox was full of naps, Shen Ling was going to learn chess, and the fox was still holding the quilt and refused to get up. In short, Shen Ling found that she was very envious of the fox, of course, the fox didn't envy Shen Ling at all, she felt that she was stupid, and she couldn't eat those things, so what did she learn.
Finally, they grew up, and several years passed, this year the fox was ten years old, and Shen Ling was almost thirteen years old.
In this dynasty, women generally began to discuss marriage at the age of thirteen and choose their future husbands, and naturally those queens and concubines in the harem also began to actively prepare for the marriage of their sons and daughters.
Among them, the queen is even more, the queen Luan Yin is the sister of the general Luan Zhong in the court, in the early days of the dynasty, the emperor in order to win over Luan Chong's power, chose to marry Luan Yin, although later met the beloved woman, that is, Guan You's biological mother Rou, but only has been canonized to the concubine position, the queen's position has always been Luan Yin, and later Rou's dystocia died, so after Guan You was born, the emperor loved him very much, but he was lukewarm to Guan Xian, the son born to the queen, so at the age of twelve or thirteen, the queen was more anxious than ordinary people, Because she knows that the emperor's mind has always been on Guan You, although her son is the crown prince at the moment, but in case the situation changes, the emperor changes Guan You to the crown prince, what can her son do, so she needs to find a daughter-in-law, the family must have a status in the court, and can help her brother Luan Chong.
So in order to investigate which family's children can be worthy of her Guan Xian, on Guan Xian's birthday, she specially invited the children of several more powerful officials in the court to enter the palace, including Li Yu, the daughter of the prime minister, and Shen Ling, the daughter of Shangshu.
After the decree was announced, Shen Ling was more excited than anyone in the house, she grabbed Li Ping's hand and said in a panic, "Mother, you hurry up and help me think about what I should wear when I enter the palace in three days?" Oops, I don't seem to have any new clothes, mother, you quickly order someone to make me a beautiful dress! There are also headdresses, which have to be replaced! β
Li Ping touched her head and smiled from ear to ear, "Of course, Niang Ke has been looking forward to this day, and Niang has long expected that the queen will invite the daughters of many officials to the palace on the prince's birthday, so I have already made your clothes a month ago!" β
"Mother, you deserve to be my mother, you are so smart!" Shen Ling hugged Li Ping, looking radiant.
On the other side, after the person who announced the decree left, the fox blinked and asked, "Daddy, what did you ask me to enter the palace for the prince's birthday?" I don't know him well! β
Old Madam Li covered her mouth and smiled, "You, you, what a stupid girl!" The queen did this, of course, because she wanted to choose one of the children of this group of officials to be the future crown princess! β
"I'm not uncommon to be a crown princess, so I won't go!" After saying that, the fox was about to leave.
