Passing through the Heqin Palace, the Imperial Palace, and then passing through the Huangyi Gate, entering the Inner Palace through the Xi'an Gate, bypassing the Qionglong Palace, going around the Qionglong Palace, going around the seven, seven, eight, and eight, the head is dizzy, and then arriving at the Qingle Palace. At that time, it was already twilight, and the Southern Emperor had not yet descended to the court. According to the chamberlain who came to report the news, His Majesty first went to the Northwest Military Council Hall to comfort the general who had returned to the court victoriously, and did not know when he would return, so he only asked the princess to wait quietly. I received the order, since the Southern Emperor sent someone to explain the reason, he did not dare to leave without permission, and since the beginning of entering the hall, he sat in front of the desk and waited honestly.

Who knows that waiting is an hour, I can't sleep well all night, and I get up early, plus I have exhausted all my energy all the way to the end, at the beginning I sat upright and listened to the announcement, and after sitting for a long time, I fell asleep in a daze, and I couldn't resist my sleepiness after several reminders, so I went. When it was dark, Nandi finally arrived at Qingle Palace. A message pulled me out of my dream, and Duobu quickly tidied up my appearance and knelt down to salute.

When Nan Di Fang entered the door, he saw me sleepy at a glance. Probably knowing that I was tired and he was lazy, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said gently: "I'm tired all the way."

I leaned down and bowed down and whispered, "Go back, go back to Your Majesty, don't be tired."

Nandi smiled kindly and asked me to get up. Looking up, facing the kind smiling face of Emperor Shangnan, the original twelve points of nervousness were slightly reduced by two points. The old man, who was already in his sixtieth year, was still in good spirits and had a ruddy complexion, and he must have walked a long way to meet me from such a long distance, but he couldn't see that he was tired at all.

Nandi wore a regular dress with dark sleeves, and sat in the hall in a precarious position, not angry and arrogant.

Taking advantage of the moment of straightening up, I cautiously pulled the two of them away a few steps without a trace, tried to hide my uneasiness, pursed my lips, and sat down upright. Nandi was silent for a while, and Yuyao's complexion was a little red at the moment. The brows were slightly furrowed, the eyelashes were half drooped, thoughtful, and there was a hint of worry between the eyebrows, which probably saw that I was cautious, and knew that I was worried, but it did not break it.

"Come to Nanzhan these days, can you still adapt?"

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

"That's good."

The attendants in the palace went in and out to serve tea and water, and the tray of the small yellow door handed over a cup of hot tea, and Nandi calmly took a sip, and did not say what the so-called matter of announcing my entry into the palace was, but only chatted with me casually about some daily life and asked me about my life. I replied one by one, in an orderly manner, and the uneasiness gradually subsided.

Nandi stroked his beard, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked with a gentle smile: "Have you ever learned Chinese characters in the past, have you ever taught them?" ”

I had a weak heart, and replied cheekily no, Duobu almost fell, and Nandi smiled slightly: "I don't think about it." If there is, you won't say it like this......" The rest of him didn't say, and I also know it, after all, my cultural level is self-evident. hesitated slightly, but still told him the truth: "Your Majesty, in fact, when I was in Beiqiu, I also studied Chinese in the palace for a few days with my brothers and sisters in the clan. It's just that I was young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't pay much attention to the lectures, so I couldn't learn thoroughly. ”

Actually, I didn't know how to get started.

Nandi bowed his head and said, "Then, do you want to learn again?" ”

I was stunned and wondered, "Is Your Majesty going to send me a master?" ”

Nandi smiled lightly: "It's not to choose a master for you alone, but to let you go to Shangshuyuan to take classes with the children of the royal family." Originally, you don't need to make a trip to this matter yourself, just spread the word. But considering that I have to ask you what you mean about this matter, if you don't want to, I can make other arrangements, so let someone pass on the word to let you enter the palace. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, as it was, and then replied obediently: "Everything is arranged by His Majesty, and there is no willingness." It's just that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and he is busy taking time to care about my little thing, and has found this good place for me, I am deeply favored by the emperor, thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. ”

Nandi groaned, and said with a smile: "In this case, then you will set a time to report to Shangshuyuan, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask the sacrificial wine, or ask your classmates for help." ”

I got up and immediately received the order, with a smile on my face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Nandi didn't expect me to agree so happily, and when he saw that I accepted it gladly, he nodded with a smile, and was very pleased. Duobu also breathed a sigh of relief. I knew that someone must have attacked me in front of Nandi, and I must know that no matter how inconspicuous the exotic proton is, it must be kept under my nose to be watched at all times to be reassured. If I push the opportunity to enter the palace tonight, it will make people suspicious and fall into the hands of others.

Nandi nodded, looked at me for a while, and asked softly, "Child, how old are you?" ”

I bowed and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, this month has just turned thirteen." ”

"You're the same age as Changji." Nandi smiled and added, "He is a gentle and friendly man, and he is now enrolled in Shang Shuyuan. If you go to the academy and have a problem with your studies, you can go to him for advice. ”

Hearing Changji's name, my face was unwavering, and when I heard that he was also in Shang Shuyuan, my heart was slightly turbulent, and then I felt a trace of inexplicable joy.

Nandi didn't stay with me for long, and came out before the palace gate closed and sent someone to take me out of the palace. At the end, I was rewarded with some rat whisker chestnut tail pens and rice paper and a good inkstone, saying that I would definitely be able to use it after entering the school.

It was already the time to return to Zhanhua Palace, and I was sleepy on the road, but when I arrived at the accommodation, I didn't feel sleepy, and I was very unhappy when I owed something. I held a bluestone moire inkstone and sighed: "The carving of this inkstone looks so complicated, it must be priceless." It's really blind to have such a good thing in my hands. ”

Duobu rarely agreed: "Well, I'm really blind." Your words are so ugly, and you don't have much literacy, where can you use such a good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, I was just modest and modest, where did I really belittle myself, but I still took a serious stab.

She suddenly said, "How could Your Majesty think of letting you enroll in Shangshuyuan?" Why does this place where the children of the Nanzhan royal family study let you in, and what is the intention of Nandi. ”

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know. Carefully put the inkstone back into the sandalwood box, and then replied absentmindedly: "No matter what his intentions are, I just need to follow the arrangement." Even if he had another purpose, I couldn't control it. In order to please her, I pretended to be a fan of wealth and pointed to the contents of the box, and said with a smile: "Oh, Duobu, don't think so much, I think the Nandi people are still good." I gave him so many treasures, and I thought he was a good person. ”

Duobu laughed for a moment, then fell silent again.

After she fell asleep, I went out alone for a walk, and the moonlight in the courtyard was just right.

The left turn of the dormitory is a garden, which is planted with a yard of gardenias, white and fragrant, the flower quality is excellent, the breeze moves slightly, and the fragrance of gardenias is overwhelming.

The lights on the stone platform will be replaced overnight, and they will not be extinguished, and the people on duty at night pick up the lights once every half an hour, and at this time, they are still lit brightly, and the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the courtyard is still as bright as day.

As soon as I walked to the garden, I suddenly felt a shadow on my side entering from outside the door, and in a flash, I was shocked, stopped and looked around blankly, and said in a timid voice: "Who is it?" Who's there? ”

There was no sound around, only the shadows of the flowers swaying under the moon, I swallowed my saliva, and the bottom of my heart gradually became cold.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" The voice behind me sounded, although it was clean and loud, but it sounded like a ghost to my ears. Against the light, a big black shadow covered me, and I couldn't help but feel creepy, I didn't dare to make a sound, I just wanted to run quickly. As soon as he lifted his leg, he was held down by the person behind him on the shoulder.

I exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" Let me go! ”

Suddenly, laughter stacked behind him: "It's me." What do you run? ”

I looked back, and Nagaji was looking at me blankly. He breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It turned out to be you, scared me to death."

Changji sneered, quite embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry to scare you."

"I don't blame you, it's because I'm too timid." I blushed and explained. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, raised his chin and said angrily: "Why are you here?" It's scary to sneak into this garden and not sleep so late. Don't tell me you can't sleep and come for a walk. ”

Changji sneered coldly: "I am above board, not sneaky, please pay attention to the wording."

I didn't bother to argue with him, I was scared a lot just now, and I still have palpitations. I have something on my mind, and I just want to go alone, and if he is here I can't meditate at all, so I push him hard and drive him away. But he stuck to the ground like roots, and no matter how much I pushed him, he couldn't move.

I was deflated and said, "What the hell are you going to do?"

Changji replied: "Picking flowers!"

I instinctively protected myself, put my hands around my chest and said vigilantly: "You, actually ~ flower thief?" Does Anping Niangniang know? ”

When he saw me thinking crookedly, his face changed slightly, and he said impatiently, "My mother has been sleeping unsteadily lately. Earlier, I invited a doctor to call the pulse, saying that it was night sweats and insomnia caused by anxiety. I wanted to prescribe a few pairs of medicine conditioning medicine, but my mother refused, she thought the medicine was too bitter and refused to drink it. The Imperial Physician also said that smelling more incense that helped to calm the nerves would have the same effect, but she did not like to burn incense in the smoker in the house, saying that it was very annoying to be smoky. So, I thought I'd pick some flowers and put them in her house instead of the incense. The fragrance of flowers is smokeless, and it also has an ornamental effect, and it is good for mothers to enjoy the flowers and relax. I was going to pick some begonias, but when I walked into the courtyard, I smelled the fragrance coming to my nose, and I remembered the gardenias in the courtyard of Zhanhua Palace, so I took a detour to come here. I wanted to quickly pick a bunch and leave, but I didn't know that I would meet you over the wall. ”

I put my mind at ease, smiled and said, "Then I'll help you pick as many as you want." After that, without waiting for Changji to agree, he walked to the middle of the flowers and picked a large handful, and gave it to him very courteously: "Oh, is it enough, if it's not enough, I'll pick it again." I've got you. ”

Changji looked at the petals scattered all over the place by my rude treatment, and said coldly: "What you said is really generous." This flower was planted by me, so you can give it to you. ”

I raised my eyebrows and laughed, "So what, now that I live here, this flower will follow my surname, and it will be mine."
