Since the beginning of spring, from the spring flowers to the peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms are all over the place, throughout the spring, Xing'er is learning flower arrangement with the Queen Mother to practice flower arrangement, and occasionally piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Queen Mother enjoyed it, and although Xing'er was very happy to learn this, life in the palace was boring for her as a child. Fortunately, this spring, the palace draft girl, since that day Xing'er coincidentally bumped into the show girls in the imperial garden, Xing'er is often worried, and always arguing for ingenuity to take her to see the show girls.

Show girl, these two words are beautiful, mysterious, curious, and all-encompassing talents, she and Qiaoxin peeked a few times at the show girls in the imperial garden to learn court etiquette, in their spare time, the imperial garden has become a stage for the show girls to show their talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the most basic, dance, opera, hand color tricks are all novel, so that Xing'er opened his eyes.

On this day, Xing'er took advantage of the Queen Mother's nap time and secretly ran alone to see the show girls, but helplessly, the show girls seemed to go to a nap too. Xing'er returned to Shuqing Palace in disappointment. As she walked through the main hall, a voice startled her.

"The words I taught you yesterday have been reviewed again?" It was the voice of the Queen Mother.

Xing'er was excited, immediately turned around, and knelt on the ground.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er has copied it twice when she went back yesterday, once in regular script and again in official script, and it is all on your bookcase early this morning, waiting for you to see it."

"It's noon, what are you doing without sleeping?"

Xing'er secretly raised her head, the Queen Mother supported her cheeks with one hand, lying on her side on the chaise longue, wearing only a shirt, and there was no Gui Chun's grandmother around to serve her. Xing'er immediately got up and ran to the Queen Mother's bedroom, dragged a big cloak out, and covered the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was shocked, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that this little girl was covering herself with a quilt, and she was happy but not happy.

"Bold! Who flattened you? ”

Xing'er hurriedly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and lowered her head. The Queen Mother saw that she had spoken, and there was no movement for a long time, and finally opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xing'er kneeling in front of her with her head down. I wanted to scold a few words, look at her little pitiful, poof! The Queen Mother laughed instead of being angry, and the Queen Mother felt more and more as if Xing'er was her own granddaughter, but the Queen Mother also reminded herself all the time that this child was a chess piece that someone put by her side, but this chess piece has not yet reached the time to play a role.

"Go, show me your handwriting."

So Xing'er quickly took her two words from the bookcase and handed them to the Queen Mother to see.

The Queen Mother took it and looked at it carefully.

"Good, good. There is growth, and children can be taught. To study is to be diligent, you are still young, know more words, and it will be of great use in the future. "The Queen Mother praised." Whenever I have time, I will take you to Ningxintai for a walk and see how the princes study every day, compared to them, you are much easier. ”

"Queen Mother, Xing'er is a little woman, how can she compare with the princes? The princes are all people who want to do great things. ”

"Haha! You little man, where did you learn this? The Queen Mother closed her eyes again.

"It was the emperor who came to see you a few days ago, and Xing'er listened to what the emperor said."

"Little ghost. Don't underestimate the little woman, if this harem is not controlled by a competent woman, it will be chaotic a long time ago. The same is true of every family, men earn money outside, women take care of their husbands and children, do laundry and cook for men, take care of the house, only when the affairs of the family are arranged, men are better at working outside. Got it? ”

The Queen Mother's words reminded Xing'er of her Ruyu mother and Qing's mother-in-law, it seems that it is indeed what the Queen Mother said, her father is an official, and the two mothers take care of her and her brothers and brothers, Ruyu's mother is in charge of the family's finances, and Qing's mother is responsible for his and his brother's homework skills.

"Then the Queen Mother, can keep accounts, is it even if a woman can run a house?"

"Of course, if a big family doesn't have a plan, how can the family survive? It will be taken care of by a virtuous woman. All kinds of expenses need to be carefully taken care of in order to be a good home, so that the family can continue to operate, if a woman does not even have the most basic housekeeping ability, it is incompetent housewife, or there is no good education in the boudoir. If it's a lady from a big family, it's a joke when it gets out. ”

"Huh? Is it so serious? "Xing'er is curious about the baby's physique and is online again.

"This is something that must be learned in the boudoir. But you're a little devil who knows about bookkeeping? ”

"Because Xing'er can keep accounts."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and looked at her, smiled, and then sat up. This clearly piqued her interest.

"I don't believe it."

"Queen Mother, Xing'er didn't lie, don't believe it, you take the Xing'er test."

"Someone."

Xiuxin, who was on duty, walked in and was blessed.

"The slave is here."

"Go and get a blank book. Put it on the bookcase. ”

"Yes."

Xiuxin went down, and after a while, he went to an account book and put it on the book case of the Queen Mother. Then he took a coat for the Queen Mother and served the Queen Mother to put it on.

The Queen Mother led Xing'er to the table, and Xing'er sat down, and asked Xing'er to enter the question herself. About half an hour, Xing'er has clearly recorded the accounts, and the income and expenditure are classified correctly, and there are some pending accounts, which are classified into the hanging entries, which simply shocked the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that she had really found a treasure, and this child could really be of great use in the future.

The Queen Mother was happy, only listening to the footsteps outside the hall, the Queen Mother was busy covering Xing'er's account book with a handkerchief and looked at the door. I saw the prince leading his personal eunuch in.

When the Queen Mother saw the prince, she immediately smiled and took two steps forward.

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." The prince saluted.

"Hurry up and excuse me." The Queen Mother was busy helping him.

"Xing'er greets His Royal Highness the Prince." Xing'er folded her hands and blessed one side.

"This sister is also here, no courtesy!"

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the Queen Mother looked at the prince and then at Xing'er. The prince is thirteen years old this year, and he actually has blue eyes for this little girl who is less than six years old? The Queen Mother thought to herself. Or are you worrying too much?

"What sister, now that you are older, you should look like a prince. How can you call it casually?! The Queen Mother's face was slightly gloomy.

When the prince saw that the queen mother was like this, he immediately reined in, and knew that he had a slight gaffe, so he hurriedly helped the queen mother to walk towards the hall.

"The last time I was with the imperial grandmother, this female official He Ming, was quite speculative, so I shouted indiscriminately, my grandson knows that it is wrong, and I shouldn't mess with the rules."

"This is pretty much the same, although she is not a maid of the palace, but she is also a female official in the end, and the rules cannot be messed up." The Queen Mother blamed.

"Come on!"

"The slave is here, please ask the Queen Mother to command." Xiuxin came to the door.

"Go, make a cup of melon slices, and wake up the prince."

"Yes." Xiuxin went down to make tea.

"Imperial grandmother, my grandson knows that I am wrong, why bother to blame my grandson for making this tea......" The prince was coquettish.

"Humph! Let's see if you dare to break the rules next time. The Queen Mother pretended to be stern.

The prince fell to one knee and folded his hands in front of him.

"The grandson promises not to do it again, please let the imperial grandmother calm her anger."

The Queen Mother looked at her, and after a moment, she smiled instead.

"Get up, spare you! Don't dare next time, this is seen by others, what kind of system, you are a royal person, how can your brothers and sisters recognize it. ”

"Grandchildren remember."

"Xing'er, you go and pack up the things on the bookcase, and paint another painting that I taught you to draw a few days ago."

"Xing'er obeys."

Xing'er received the queen mother's decree and went to the bookcase. The prince looked back at her, and watched her all the way to the bookcase, with a smile on his face, and that smile was full of doting smiles. All this is in the eyes of the Queen Mother. It also caused the discomfort of the Queen Mother.

"Why do you have time to come to see the mourning family today, you're not busy with schoolwork?"

Prince, this is the only time to regain his mind.

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, in recent days, my father and emperor let my grandson listen to politics together in the Qiangang Palace, and the early schoolwork has been stopped, and in the afternoon, I have to go to Honglu Pavilion to listen to the fourteen doctors talk about politics. Today is the birthday of my grandson's mother, and my grandson went to Xiangyue Nunnery in Xishan early in the morning and met Master Miaoying. When I returned to the palace, I saw that it was still early to go to Honglu Pavilion, so I thought about asking the imperial grandmother for peace. ”

After listening to him, the Queen Mother suddenly talked and was silent for a long time. Xing'er was painting at the desk, and suddenly there was silence in the room, and he secretly looked at the Queen Mother and the Prince.

"Is she okay?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth with a slight cry.

"The last time I went to see it during the Chinese New Year, I was already infected with the wind cold, and when I went to see it today, it didn't seem to be good, and it looked a little lighter."

"Three Treasures."

After a while, the eunuch of the Three Treasures trotted into the main hall.

"The Three Treasures are here!"

"I went to the Tai Hospital, and asked Dr. Gao to go to Xishan Xiangyue Nunnery to see Master Miaoying, and what medicine I needed to catch when I came back, so I deducted it from Miaoying's share of silver. The precious ones are counted on the heads of the mourners. ”

"Yes, the minion will do it."

"Wait." The Three Treasures Eunuch turned back again.

"Go, take the fish maw from the virtuous concubine Jin a few days ago, and tell Master Miaoying that this is not bird's nest ejiao, it is flower resin, and it will not affect her practice. You also followed, come back, Master Miaoying's illness tells the mourning family, don't be negligent! The Queen Mother was worried and distressed, and she frowned and ordered this.

"Yes, the minions will take it and go together."

"It's really uneasy, and my temper is too stubborn." The queen mother seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be talking to the prince. The hall was silent again.

"Imperial grandmother, and relax, grandchildren should work hard to share their father's worries as soon as possible." The crown prince comforted the queen mother.

"Good boy, you are a sensible person, the mourning family is much more relieved, fortunately you have the support of your mother and mother's family, otherwise it will be hard for you." The Queen Mother looked at the prince worriedly and fondly.

"Grandson, now that you are thirteen years old, you are not young, and there are some things that the imperial grandmother can tell you," the Queen Mother paused, "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." ”

"My grandson knows."

"Your name has been determined early, but it doesn't mean that the treasure will be yours in the future, you still have to spur yourself all the time to encourage yourself, and in the future, a thousand pounds of heavy burden will be on you, and you must be a strong person to be able to bear it."

"Yes, grandmother, my father is a role model for my grandson."

"When your father was the crown prince, he had already made a decision to kill, and he never had a soft heart for his children, and the grandchildren of the mourning family must learn from your father, don't let the children be long and heroic and short-breathed, and the benevolence of women."

"Yes."

"Also, your name is predetermined, but it doesn't mean that no one covets it, you have to be measured. Also, help and support your younger brothers, preferably all of them can be your right-hand men in the future. Instead of ...... the other way around, "The Queen Mother is really serious about this eldest grandson."

"The grandson obeys the teachings of the imperial grandmother." The crown prince knelt on one knee, "However, the time for the imperial grandmother's Honglu Pavilion is almost up, and the grandson will rush there early, and wait for the great Confucians, respect the teacher, and the emperor often teaches the sons." ”

"What your father taught was, go quickly." The Queen Mother turned her gaze to the prince's attendant eunuch, "Xiao Anzi." ”

"The minions are here."

"Although it's already spring, it's still warm and cold, add more clothes to the master sooner or later, don't be tight!"

"The minions obeyed. Please rest assured. Morning and evening, the minions all wore cloaks for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, looked at the prince again, and motioned for him to go. The prince got up, turned around to leave, suddenly looked up, the prince froze again, and saw Xing'er sitting on the desk and painting seriously, looking cute and well-behaved, and a smile hung on the corner of the prince's mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go, the time is almost up." Xiao Anzi tugged at the corner of the prince's clothes.

Only then did the prince regain his mind and strode away. And all this was in the eyes of the Queen Mother, who breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself - to make plans early......

"Xiuxin, pass on Guichun!"
