Tuoba Lin nodded, crossed his fingers and said seriously: "Student remember, you said that the benevolent person is benevolent and generous in his heart, and he can accept all rivers, and the person who knows knows how to make trade-offs in his heart, and knows all things, and the brave person is strong and resolute in his heart, and he can be defeated." ”

Gongsun Bo nodded and sighed: "The eldest prince is right, since this is the case, you can know that when your heart is generous enough, you can have less worries, regardless of gains and losses, and your heart is peaceful, and the second is the same." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tuoba Lin for a long time, and when he saw that his expression was still full of confusion, he smiled and said, "The eldest prince is still young. It's okay if you don't understand some truths for a while, but you need to keep these truths in mind all the time, and sooner or later you will know them. ”

Tuoba Lin nodded vigorously and replied, "Students must remember the teacher's teachings and always remember them. ”

Gongsun Bo looked at the sky and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's stop today's class, the eldest prince will go back and copy the "Analects and Xianwen" again, and show it to me tomorrow." Alright, the Great Prince, let's go. ”

Tuoba Lin got up, bowed deeply to Gongsun Bo, and said, "The teacher works hard, and the student retires." ”

When he went out, he saw He Xi standing in front of the door, Fang Cai's calmness and maturity were replaced by innocence in an instant, he rushed to He Xi's side with fast steps, gently threw himself into He Xi's arms, and said coquettishly: "Why did the mother concubine come to pick up Lin'er today?" ”

He Xi smiled dotingly: "The mother concubine passed by today, thinking that you were going to get out of class, so I waited for a while." ”

Zijin carried a small wooden box and followed, saw He Xi, hurriedly leaned over to salute, He Xi waved his hand, and saw Gongsun Bo walking out of the room, Gongsun Bo was already sixty years old, but his spirit was still good, his hair and beard were gray, but he looked like a fairy, He Xi hurriedly curtsied and saluted: "I've seen Lord Gongsun——"

Gongsun Bo paid great attention to the number of courtesies, and he bowed his hand and returned the salute before saying: "The old minister discussed with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince also mentioned Niangniang, and Niangniang raised the eldest prince very well." ”

He Xi said: "It's all the opinions of some women's families, but it's the words of Lord Gongsun that make people feel enlightened and deeply taught." ”

Gongsun Bo waved his hand and said: "Concubine Xi's grandfather, Lao Chen has also heard of it, and he is also a talented man in Jiangnan. ”

He Xi smiled slightly: "It's my daughter's family after all, and my grandfather and father didn't teach me many gentlemanly etiquette, so I still envy Jing nobles." ”

He Xi's eyes swept faintly across Gongsun Bo's face, and it couldn't be lighter.

Hearing him mention his daughter, no matter how Gongsun Bowao is, he will inevitably have a little spoiled emotion and say: "Although the old man has made a lot of little girls, but the little women are stubborn, I'm afraid I haven't heard much, if there is something in the palace in the future, the old minister wants to ask the mother for a thin face, which can help one or two." ”

He Xi lowered his eyes and said: "What did the adults say, Jing Guiren is clever and intelligent, and he has a delicate heart, so he will naturally be safe and smooth in the palace, and the adults are relieved." ”

Gongsun Bo nodded, and gave another salute to He Xi, which was regarded as a farewell.

After Gongsun Bo left, Tuoba Lin raised his little face and asked, "Is the mother concubine talking to the teacher about Jing Niangniang?" ”

He Xi heard his cordiality, so he said curiously: "In the past, you called others with a position, why did you arouse Jing nobles, so kind?" ”

Tuoba Lin shook his head and said: "Jing Guiren is the teacher's daughter, and often asks her sister Yanluo to send some pastries to the teacher, and the teacher always says that she is old and doesn't like sweetness, so she gives Lin'er——"

He Xi's heart jumped when she heard this, and she asked, "How long has it been?" ”

Tuoba Lin looked at He Xi inexplicably and asked, "Mother-"

When he saw that He Xi's expression was a little cold, he was a little afraid, and with some grievances, such as opinions, he hurriedly leaned over, pulled Tuoba Lin and said, "The eldest prince, what do you mean, how many times have you eaten that pastry?" ”

Tuoba Lin lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I ate it once yesterday—"

His big eyes, holding tears, biting his lip to prevent it from falling, seemed to know that the man had tears and did not flick, but his voice was choked, betraying himself, he said: "Mother, don't be angry, okay, Lin'er-Lin'er will never steal food in the future-"

His little hand tentatively pulled the corner of He Xi's clothes, pitiful, like a group of small beasts, He Xi regretted that he didn't control his emotions, and also knew that his reaction was a little excessive, so he softened his voice and said: "Lin'er, the mother concubine is not angry with you, but the mother concubine is worried, you are the only prince in the palace now, how many pairs of eyes are staring, the mother concubine is afraid of you-"

Her words stopped, she didn't want to, she didn't want to present the pickled side of this world in front of the innocent Tuoba Lin, her tears couldn't help it for a while, Tuoba Lin's black and white eyes were full of worry, he stretched out his little hand and helped He Xi wipe away his tears little by little and said: "Don't cry, concubine, Lin'er knows that you are all for Lin'er's good, Lin'er must protect herself well and not let her mother worry." ”

He Xi took Tuoba Lin in his arms and said, "Good child, good child of the mother's concubine—"

He Xi eased his emotions, looked at Zijin who was carrying a bookcase behind him and said, "From today on, you come to serve by the side of the palace, Ruyi, you follow Lin'er." ”

Zijin looked happy, following He Xi's side meant that there were more opportunities to see the emperor, no matter how bad it was, she could always find an opportunity, it was better than facing an old man every day and listening to the teachings of those sages who made her sleepy, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Ruyi said with some disapproval: "Niangniang, you are pregnant now, how can you have less slaves and maids around you——"

He Xi naturally knew her worries, she patted her hand and said, "And it's only temporary, these days, the palace will personally go to the Internal Affairs Office to choose a few companions to accompany the eldest prince." ”

Ruyi had no choice but to accept the order, but Zijin couldn't be happy, she thought that she could become the palace maid by He Xi's side this time, but she didn't want it to be just temporary. ”

At this time, in the Zhaohua Palace, Yanluo was rubbing her shoulders for Gongsun Jingyi, and Gongsun Jingyi took a deep breath and said: "Gossip with them, and my smiling face is sour." ”

Yan Luo said with a smile: "The little master is not working hard in vain today, at least, the slave and maid are watching, Concubine Xi has already noticed you." ”

Gongsun Jingyi sighed comfortably and said, "If I do this, she won't notice me, it will be really strange." ”

Her slender fingers took a sip from the teacup next to her, and continued, "But there are other discoveries?" ”

Yanluo's subordinates kept saying: "I heard that Concubine Xi heard that the eldest prince ate the pastries we sent over, and directly dispatched the maidservants around her to the eldest prince's side." ”

Gongsun Jingyi nodded and said, "This is the best, tomorrow, you go to the study to send more things, and then let the small kitchen make some pastries that children like, and send them over together." ”

Yanluo looked at Gongsun Jingyi's expression and said, "The little master does this, if the master knows about it, then-"

When Gongsun Jingyi heard this, her face sank and said: "Whether my father understands it or not, I am for the Gongsun family, when my father was willful and reckless, he was unwilling to obey the dictatorship of the first emperor, so he resigned, and then his mother was seriously ill, and the family could not even afford to use some precious medicinal materials, if not, how could my mother go early, if - if my father knew, he would definitely understand me." ”

Yanluo was silent.

The next day, Zijin followed He Xi's side to Luhua Palace to ask for peace, and saw that her side was not the Ruyi she was used to seeing, Lan Xin said curiously: "Why don't you see Ruyi?" ”

He Xi smiled faintly and said, "The concubine has been sent to Lin'er to serve for a few days." ”

Lan Xin frowned slightly, looked around, except for the concubine who had a somewhat ugly face, the rest of the people had a kind of unclear doubt.

Lan Xin coughed and said: "Since this palace is now assisting in the affairs of the six palaces, what is the matter, Concubine Xi can talk to this palace, but the people around the eldest prince are not powerful?" ”

She looked at Zijin beside her meaningfully, Zijin looked terrified to the extreme, she had always known that Concubine Hui and the queen were incompatible, and now the queen was grounded, so herself, her eyes were constantly roaming the people around her, and she couldn't find anyone who could speak for herself, but only a concubine, at this time, I was afraid that she would be sent to something unsightly by Concubine Hui, and she would not come out to remind everyone of her identity for the rest of her life.

He Xi glanced at her and said slowly: "There is no need, Zijin has been in Lingxiu Palace for a long time, although she has been following the eldest prince, but she knows a lot about the preferences of the palace, and she doesn't worry about Hui Guifei with a convenient person, but this palace wants to ask for a favor from Hui Guifei, Lin'er needs a few companions, and asks Hui Guifei to allow her concubines to go to the Internal Affairs Office to choose two." ”

Lan Xin found almost, and said with a smile: "Concubine Xi is pregnant now, why do you still do everything yourself?" It's just a few minions, and the palace asked Sun Xiang to carefully pick a few and send them to Lingxiu Palace to be used by Lin'er, Linglong-"

As she spoke, she wanted to tell Linglong to go down and give the order, but He Xi's voice went to the oblique stab and said: "Concubine Niangniang, since the concubine said that she was asking for grace, she wanted the concubine to give the concubine a thin face, if the concubine Niangniang didn't allow it, the concubine went to ask Your Majesty, this person, the concubine must be chosen by herself." ”

She stared straight at Lan Xin with a pair of eyes like Haoyue, there was an undoubted persistence and firmness, Lan Xin only felt that her mind had nowhere to hide under such eyes, so she had to smile and said: "It's the palace that will be wrong, since Concubine Xi wants to choose herself, then choose it yourself, whether you want to serve under your nose, or whether you are pleasing to your eyes is the most important." ”
