Yuan Er blinked, looked at Zhuang Qing, frowned, and then said to Ye Qingyan: "Queen Mother, my son wants to go to see his father." ”

Ye Qingyan was slightly stunned, she hadn't said anything yet, how could this kid understand.

"Okay, it's just time for Your Majesty to test your homework in the past few days."

“…… The child suddenly doesn't want his father, so it's better to follow his mother. Yuan Er's eyes flickered, he didn't want to be examined by his father. The main reason is that he has been avoiding a lot of schoolwork in the name of being injured in the past few days, and when his father was taking the exam, the problems were quite tricky.

Ye Qingyan patted the position beside him, "Then sit obediently." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Yuan Er sat down obediently, and then raised his head to meet Zhuang Qing's gaze.

When Zhuang Qing looked at Yuan Er, he hurriedly lowered his head again, looking deferential and humble.

"Yuan Er, Zhuang Qing is the top student of Mingde Academy, he has already been admitted to the Tongsheng at the age of ten, and his knowledge is excellent, he will transfer to the Imperial School in the future, you have to study with Zhuang Qing when the time comes."

Yuan Er had heard of Mingde Academy, which was the number one academy in the capital. The last champion in the imperial examination was from Mingde College.

"He is doing well in Mingde Academy, why do you want to come to Huangxue?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment, and finally Ye Qingyan smiled and said: "His grandfather is a scholar in the imperial court, of course he wants to go to the emperor to learn." ”

Concubine Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Niangniang's meaning to agree with Zhuang Qing to be a companion. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should still be thinking about the previous mirror, so he will reject Zhuang Qing. As long as the two children get along, there should be no problem.

Zhuang Qing lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"He's the grandson of Lord Zhongshuling." Yuan Er was surprised, then got up from the phoenix chair, walked in front of Zhuang Qing, and looked up at him. Because I looked from the bottom up, I just saw his eyes.

The swarthy eyes, like two balls of ancient ink, make people look at it and be attracted.

Zhuang Qing looked at the little agency man he had been carrying in his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have also sent the same agency person to the courtiers before. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Er was stunned, "How can you have my agency?" ”

Ye Qingyan smiled: "Of course you sent it." When Zhuang Qing entered the palace for the first time, he played with you, and at that time, you dragged Zhuang Qing alive and did not let him leave the palace. ”

Yuan Er looked back at Ye Qingyan, "Queen Mother, can my son go to Rongxi Hall with Zhuang Qing to play?" ”

Ye Qingyan nodded, "Of course, let's go." ”

Yuan Eryi grabbed Zhuang Qing's hand, "I still have a lot of trap beasts there." ”

Zhuang Qing lowered his long and slightly upturned eyelashes, looked at the hand held by Yuan Er, did not resist, and followed Yuan Er.

Concubine Zhuang has only fallen to the ground at this point, and there is hope for companionship.

Ye Qingyan said to Concubine Zhuang: "I don't know Brother Ling, do you agree?" ”

Concubine Zhuang replied: "Don't worry, the queen mother, this time there will never be anything against Your Majesty again." To tell you the truth, the concubine's brother...... It's really disappointing. ”

Is there something wrong, Ye Qingyan's eyes lit up, "What's the matter?" ”

Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, if it can arouse the pity of the queen's mother for Zhuang Qing, Concubine Zhuang does not mind saying that the ugliness of the family is even uglier.

Chunyu brought refreshments and accompanied Ye Qingyan to listen to Concubine Zhuang tell her brother's tragic story of being unkind, ungrateful, and abandoning his wife and children......

After dinner, Xiao Changqi accompanied Ye Qingyan for a walk in the garden.

Ye Qingyan and Xiao Changqi talked about Zhuangzi Zhou's favored wife and his wife.

Xiao Changqi already knew, but he just heard Ye Qingyan talk about it, and he was full of disdain, but he was a little hesitant to transfer Zhuangzi Zhou back to the capital.

"Jiaojiao, Zhuang Zi Zhou is Zhuang Qing's biological father, if Zhuang Qing is a companion, should Zhuang Zi Zhou be transferred back to the capital?"

"Transferred back to the capital, is it a promotion?" Ye Qingyan looked displeased, she couldn't wait to remove such a man and promote him, how could it be. It's just that if Zhuang Qing is a companion, his father is a small county order, which is somewhat inappropriate.

"Your Majesty decides, it's just that this man, the concubine really doesn't like it. Since he once made an oath in front of the Heaven and Earth Clansmen, he should keep it well. If you can't do it, don't commit to it. Now Zhuang Qing's mother and son are despised in the house. Especially Zhuang Qing's mother is a weak character, if the concubine comes back, relying on Zhuangzi Zhou's favor, it is indispensable to make waves in the house. Zhuang Qing and his mother are likely to be bullied. ”

"But if Zhuang Zizhou doesn't come back, then Zhuang Qing will never have a father. Isn't that good? ”

"That's better than being angry and bullied. Moreover, Zhuang Zizhou did not come back, and Zhuang Qing's impression was always that of the father who loved him and valued him in the past. When he returned, he would be so disappointed that he didn't even have the last bit of illusion. ”

"It's not good to live in the deception of imagination, after all, you have to face reality. Moreover, if he doesn't have the courage, how can he be Yuan Er's companion. ”

"Yuan Er doesn't seem to approve of Zhuang Qing as his companion, but just treats him as a friend."

"Isn't that just a companion reading, hehe." Xiao Changqi said with a smile, it's not that they are together day and night, but like-minded friends are also people who have grown up with him and can give him a good influence.

Ye Qingyan understood, "Then did Your Majesty have any companions when he was a child?" ”

Xiao Changqi replied, "Of course I have. ”

"Who?" Ye Qingyan really didn't know.

Xiao Changqi's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "He is in the court now, Jiaojiao guesses." ”

"Right in the court?" Ye Qingyan was stunned. If it was His Majesty's companion, it would be a great honor, and it should have been spread a long time ago. But she had never heard of it. The information of the courtiers flashed in his mind...... But no one looks like it, either they are too old, or they have never had a personal relationship with Xiao Changqi, so they really can't guess.

"Who? The concubines really can't see it. ”

"On the surface, I have nothing to do with him, but when I ascended the throne as emperor, he secretly exerted a lot of strength." Xiao Changqi took her hand, "It's Shangshu Hengxiang of the Criminal Department." ”

"Huh? He! Ye Qingyan really couldn't see that such a big fat man with a beard and a very ordinary appearance turned out to be Xiao Changqi's companion!

"How is it possible, Your Majesty is really teasing the concubines."

Xiao Changqi said: "People can't be disguised. He is indeed my companion, and he has accompanied me for seven years, I have been in the rivers and lakes, he went back to his hometown for two years incognito, and then returned to the capital, and became Hengxiang. ”

"Cheng Hengxiang, didn't he call this name before?"

"Hmm. Originally, his name was Gao Yuan, the eldest son of the Gao family, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. ”
