Chapter 54: Change
Even if the emperor didn't say it, she planned to go to the East Palace to visit Xiao Yan, and since then, he has not appeared in the county lord's mansion again.
She didn't know if it was the stabbing that scared him, or if it was the words she said that stung him, that led to the current situation.
At this time, it was late autumn, and the cold temperature made her shiver, and her face became even whiter.
Ever since that poisoning, she has become extremely chilly.
If she hadn't been poisoned before, she had been practicing martial arts all year round, and she wouldn't be afraid of this cold wind at all.
When Hongxiu on the side saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and draped a thick fox fur shawl on her body, which made her face better.
After arriving at the East Palace, he found that Xiao Qi was not in the East Palace. Counting the time, he should be learning from Taixue at this time.
After thinking about it, she still decided to wait for him to return to the palace in the East Palace, and then she could go directly to the study with him in the afternoon.
After the former chief eunuch of the East Palace, Father-in-law Qian, committed suicide in fear of crime, Xiao Qi elected a new chief eunuch, that is, the little eunuch who went with him on the day he went to the county lord's mansion.
The little eunuch's name is Jinhe, fourteen years old this year, and his round little face is beaming, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.
Coupled with the cleverness and intelligence, he is indeed a suitable candidate.
After Jinhe learned of the visit of the county lord of Pingle, he hurriedly led the people into the side hall to rest.
Knowing that she was not in good health, he ordered the palace people to light the silver silk carbon, for fear that she would suffer from the cold again.
Not only that, but knowing that she has been taking medicine recently, the palace people served special fruit tea.
Such a subtle thing can better reflect a person's style of doing things, and Xiao Han is very satisfied with the person selected by Xiao Qi.
In a good mood, she gave Hongxiu a look, and Hongxiu took out a purse and stuffed it into Jinhe's hand when no one was around.
Jin He wanted to refuse, but Hongxiu said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Jin, take it, this is the reward given by the county lord of my family." ”
As soon as I heard that it was the 'reward silver', it was given by the county lord, and the relationship between the county lord and the master was very good.
Thinking of the relationship between the county lord and his own master, Jinhe finally did not refuse and accepted the purse.
After sitting in the East Palace for nearly an hour, I heard the sound of the prince returning to the palace.
Xiao Han put down the book in his hand, patted the remaining dim sum residue on his body, and then got up and prepared to greet Xiao Yan.
A month is not short, nor is it long, but Xiao Qi has undergone a lot of changes.
Compared with the original hanger and foolishness, the whole person has become a lot calmer. Although the childishness between the eyebrows and eyes has not been taken off, the royal bearing has gradually appeared on the body.
When she went out, Jinhe was already whispering something to Xiao Yan's side, and then Xiao Qi looked up at her, and the two met their eyes.
Eventually, he walked in the direction of the side hall, and soon walked in front of her, his eyes down and silent.
Xiao Han couldn't help but speak: "It's windy outside, why don't Your Highness enter the hall and talk?!" ”
After the two of them entered the hall, they retreated, and she said helplessly: "Your Highness is deliberately avoiding me?!" ”
"There is no such thing, but I have been busy with my studies recently, so I rarely visit." Xiao Qi couldn't help but argue.
She didn't believe this, but she also understood that it was better not to puncture some words.
She changed the subject: "Does Your Highness know that the emperor intends to let you get involved in court politics?!" ”
As soon as he got down to business, his expression became serious: "My father has already told me about it, but I feel that the time is not yet ripe. ”
"Oh, I wonder why His Highness came to such a conclusion?! When will the time be right? She couldn't help but ask.
"Lone is weak now, and he has no foundation in the court, and if he rashly gets involved in the government, he may not be able to fall to pieces. As for the timing, how can it wait until the lone wings are full. ”
She didn't expect him to think so deeply, which showed that he had thought through and understood what he should do.
In that case, it was time for her to make a decision.
She bowed respectfully, and her tone was extraordinarily serious: "Your Highness, please rest assured, there are ministers, and you are by no means alone in the court!" ”
Xiao Qi suddenly sighed deeply, then helped her up and gently hugged her: "Sister Han, now I can only believe in you." ”
Her heart suddenly ached, and she patted him on the back, and her voice was soft: "Ah Qi, don't worry, as long as I am here, I won't let you be hurt in any way!" ”
Where she couldn't see, Xiao Qi showed a smile full of meaning, but the words in his mouth were extremely inconsistent with his expression: "Really?!" Sister Han has to do what she says! ”
At this time, Xiao Han patted his chest and packed the ticket: "Don't worry, we martial arts practitioners have always talked and counted, 'one spit and one nail', there is no lie!" ”
After this conversation, the relationship between the two people was restored to normal.
Xiao Han didn't hide it, and told him everything that Emperor Wu An asked her to find staff for him.
Originally, according to her idea, it was the two of them who chose together, but Xiao Qi didn't seem to be interested in it.
"Since my father handed over this matter to Sister Han, then Sister Han will do it, there have been a lot of things in my studies recently, and I can't spare my energy." Xiao Qi found a reason.
She didn't think much about it, she agreed, and the two of them finished their meal in the East Palace and went to the study together in the afternoon.
I hadn't been in the study for nearly two months, and I suddenly had a strange feeling.
Fang Qian arrived on time and began to teach, and then she found that what Fang taught was different from the original.
In the past, many of Fang Qian's teachings were the Four Books and Five Classics and historical allusions, but now there are many new things, such as strategy and some books on the art of war.
Regarding the art of war, Fang Qian is not proficient, after all, he was born in the imperial examination, and the art of war is not within the scope of the examination.
However, Fang Qian also said very clearly, three days later, there will be ministers from the court and the central government, who will be ordered by the emperor to come to the study to teach the prince.
After Fang Qian arranged his homework, he left, Xiao Qi also added practice to his homework, not only the prince, but even as a companion, they did not fall behind.
Among the three, the most painful is her, Zhang Yuanqing needless to say, is a prodigy, and he also writes well.
Even Xiao Qi's Xiaokai is steep, handsome and heroic, and it really doesn't look like the handwriting he can write.
Of the three, her handwriting was the most sloppy, and there was no beauty at all except that she could barely make out what was written.
If you say it reluctantly, it can only be regarded as wild and uninhibited.
After Fang Qian left, Xiao Qi took out a few more books, the handwriting on the books was very familiar to her, and after careful identification, she found that it was the handwriting of the emperor's uncle.
Seeing that she was reading the book he was holding, Xiao Qi explained: "This is the experience summed up by my father, the emperor, and I must remember it by heart." ”
Hearing him say this, she understood what was written on it, and she didn't ask any more.
