The clouds were shining, the birds were chirping, and a black cat was happily jumping and playing in the veranda of flowers and plants.

The little eunuch hurriedly walked into the prince's bedroom, and said in a voice that could be heard clearly and without being noisy: "His Royal Highness the crown prince, the other three highnesses have come to see you." ”

Prince Qian Yin had just taken medicine at this time, he was born with a white face and a weak face, a gentle and benevolent temperament, although he was smart, but unfortunately his body was weak and he was often willing to get sick.

Wearing a white brocade robe, inlaid with three bright yellow edges, wearing a jade and gold crown, and a pair of slender and white hands, which is better than a woman's.

When he heard that his three younger brothers were coming, the prince said, "Come in." I brought up the spring tea that my grandmother rewarded yesterday and asked them to taste it, as well as the few snacks that the queen mother got up early and asked someone to send them, it was a pity to put them in vain, so let them eat it, it is the same as I ate. ”

The palace maid on the side agreed to go down and prepare, and the little eunuch turned around and went out to invite the other three princes in.

The second prince Qian Maoji, the third prince Qian Sixian and the fourth prince Qian Zibo walked in turn, the second prince and the crown prince are siblings, so they are naturally more intimate, and when they meet, they asked: "Brother looks much better today, and he will be able to practice riding and archery with us in two days." ”

The second prince was born vigorous and heroic, and he likes martial arts rather than literature on weekdays, and loves horseback archery the most.

The crown prince smiled warmly: "Be careful, my father will ask you about your reading at leisure." ”

When the second prince heard this, he immediately felt like a deflated ball, these days because he was busy tracking down the assassins, the emperor had no free time to inspect the princes' schoolwork, which was also a blessing in misfortune for the second prince.

Now that he is mentioned by the prince, although he doesn't say it, he feels very disappointed in his heart.

"In fact, the second emperor brother also learns to read every morning," the third prince Sixian has always been the best at mediating from it, seeing that the second prince was not in a high mood, he hurriedly played a round and said: "Big brother, you are the prince, the prince of the country, naturally you want to rule the world in the future, like me, you only need to be a virtuous king, what is the use of reading so many books?" ”

As soon as he said this, the second prince immediately plucked up his spirit and said, "What Sixian said is right, it is indeed such a truth. ”

Among these brothers, he is of course the closest to the crown prince emotionally, but he usually likes to talk to the third prince, because the words of the third prince can always reach his heart, which makes him feel very comfortable.

For example, when it comes to reading, whether it is his father, queen mother, or the people around him, he must be persuaded to study hard to increase his knowledge.

Although he knew that he was not this material at all, he still persuaded and guided him in every way.

Only the third child will tell him that he only knows his name, and he doesn't have to be as poor as those doctors in Hongwenguan, and he can get by on the surface.

"Speaking of which, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Hou Yi was sacrificed, and my father wanted to see us shoot arrows." The second prince said: "I am not good at reading, so I naturally have to pay more attention to this, so that my father will know that I am not useless." ”

"Of course you are not useless, just because it is peaceful today, if you were born decades earlier, would you still be worried that you would not be able to be a great general before the battle?" The crown prince always has a gentle face and a soft tone.

When the second prince heard this, his interest became more and more high, and he couldn't wait to immediately take a few brothers to the training ground to practice arching horses.

"Third brother, what have you been busy with lately?" The crown prince has always been very concerned about his younger brothers, especially the third prince who has lost his biological mother since he was a child, so every time he meets, he has to ask him about his recent situation: "I heard in a trance a few days ago that you went out of the palace in a trance. ”

"That's the case, I went to the nearest military camp on my father's order, and I saw that their ordinary training camp defense was lax, and the second brother also went out, but he went farther than me." The third prince said: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have been on inspection, and those officers trembled when they saw me, but they didn't know that I was even more nervous than them." ”

"Yes, I know that the second brother also went out, but since you are the first time, I will ask extraordinarily. Don't be nervous, for there will be many such things that will befall you in the future. The prince said warmly: "It is never a forest alone, and our brothers must work together sincerely to make the society safe." ”

When the second prince and the third prince heard this, they hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Follow the instructions of the imperial brother." ”

The crown prince suddenly found that the youngest fourth prince was missing, so he asked, "Where is Zibo?" I was sitting next to me eating a snack just now. ”

The palace maid on the side hurriedly replied: "The fourth prince has just gone to the courtyard, and the palace maids and eunuchs with him are all following." ”

The prince smiled when he heard this, and said: "The fourth child can't sit still, and besides, this kind of weather is indeed a little restrained in the house, so it's better to ask him to go for a walk." ”

The fourth prince is young, and his mother concubine Xu Guifei is the most favored, so the people in the palace naturally look up to him.

Fortunately, although Qian Zibo is favored, he has not developed a flamboyant and domineering character, but he is just a little playful.

The prince's dormitory was larger than the other princes' residences, so every time he came, he had to run to the courtyard to play for half a day before he would leave.

A few days ago, because the prince was sick, Xu Guifei didn't allow him to disturb him, so he hadn't come here for nearly half a month.

The little eunuch on the side took a cup of mung bean smoothie and fed it to the four princes every once in a while.

"When did the royal brother have a cat in his yard?" The fourth prince frowned and pointed to a black cat in the distance and asked, "My father never allowed us to have pets, saying that it was a plaything and losing our minds." ”

"This must be a cat from another palace, the prince will never raise this thing." The grandmother of the fourth prince next to her said: "This black cat is the most unlucky, easy to attract evil spirits, you can beat it out quickly!" The prince is not healed yet, and his body is weak! ”

The little eunuch and the little palace maid on the side heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to drive away the cat.

It turned out that the cat was squatting under a flower root digging the soil, and when he saw someone coming, he whined, as if protecting food.

"This beast has come here to forage for food, what can be in this soil? Could it be a dead rat? "A maid took a branch of a tree to drive the cat away, and found that the cat seemed to be guarding something in the soil.

At this time, an older palace maid in the palace also came over and wondered, "This yard is cleaned every day, how can there be dead mice?" ”

If this is the case, the palace maids and eunuchs who are responsible for cleaning the courtyard will have to be punished.

A little eunuch walked up and kicked the cat aside.

The thing that was originally thrown out by the cat to protect him was also revealed, and everyone was surprised when they saw it, it was actually two goose heads that had been cut off.

"Who is this so rebellious?! How dare you bury this thing in the womb?! Someone screamed in amazement.

Geese are yin and aggressive, and there is a kind of magic that buries two opposing goose heads in front of the door.

It is said that this method can make the owner of the house brothers fight, and the gods are weak and weak.
