After playing on the boat for a long time, Shainin had also taken a boat before, but it was for a hurry, and he usually took a passenger boat, and he also took an official boat with his uncle. However, even if it is an official ship, with the grade of the uncle, the pomp is limited, the hull is about half the width of this building ship, the cabin is narrow, and the porthole is very small, which can only be called a gas window. It's better when there is no wind, but if there is wind, the boat will be shaky, and even if the sails are dropped, I am worried that the wind will blow the boat over.

The boat is not fast, and the boat ride is very boring, and my aunt is afraid that they will run around when she is on the boat, and she is even more afraid that someone will fall into the water and stay in the cabin all day long. Xie Ning and his cousins are fine, but their cousins are bitter. The ship was already stuffy, and I didn't even let it go up to the deck to take a look, and I couldn't move in such a small and stuffy cabin all day long, it was like being locked in a prison.

The emperor asked softly, "What do you want?" ”

Xie Ning came back to his senses, saw Bai Hongqi waiting with tea, got up and took one cup of tea to serve to the emperor, and picked up the other one himself. The palace dress she wore today was a plain jacket with wide sleeves, and when she sat down, her hands were in her sleeves, and when she wanted to serve tea, she naturally raised her hands, and the sleeves slid down gently, revealing a delicate and soft wrist.

"The concubine remembered the incident of going out on a boat before."

The emperor was quite interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

Xie Ning felt that the emperor should not be interested in these trivial things, maybe he was just accommodating her, she also wanted to make things interesting, even if these were not of any use to the emperor, at least they could be used as a good pastime to pass the time.

So she talked about having fun with her cousins on the boat.

While my aunt was taking a nap, my cousin and the others got together and rolled the dice. In fact, I don't necessarily care about winning or losing, it's because adults don't allow it, so I have to try it secretly, not to play dice, but to hide the fun of adults. ”

The emperor really smiled: "The more you don't let you do it, the more you want to try?" In fact, it may not be so interesting to try. ”

"Yes, the eldest cousin said it wasn't interesting. The little uncle is eclectic, he said that of course you can't indulge in these things, but you can't be ignorant, and the nerd who can only study may be able to achieve fame, but he must not be good with his colleagues, he can't get along with his boss, and he can't get along with his subordinates. So when the eldest uncle and aunt didn't care, the younger uncle led the eldest cousin and a few brothers to slip ashore, and they all took them around and saw them, and they also went to the gambling house. ”

"Really?" The emperor was interested: "What did they do?" ”

Xie Ning spread his hands: "How can they know the door when they just entered, in the words of the little uncle, at first glance, they are young and unseen sons and brothers who have never seen the world, and such people actually like the gambling house the most." is rich, easy to deceive, cousin they went in, lost all the money every month, and when they came back, they were beaten by their uncle. The little uncle watched the jokes on the side, and when they were punished, he took out all the money they lost one by one and returned them back. ”

"Your little uncle...... Ji Yun paid for it himself? ”

Xie Ning shook his head: "No, the little uncle said that he won it back." ”

"I really don't see that he still has this hand."

Xie Ning glanced at the emperor a little strangely.

The little uncle has only entered the palace twice, and what the emperor said seems to have had a lot of friendship with him. The little uncle has this ability, and he can get acquainted with anyone at first sight. I didn't expect this ability to be still useful in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Uncle Xiao said that there are ten gambles and nine frauds, and there are many doorways inside. As soon as he made a move, the people in the gambling house saw that he was an expert, and they didn't want to offend him, and the amount of money was not too much, so they simply let him win back. ”

The eldest prince didn't know when he came over, and he listened very carefully.

Xie Ning smiled and touched his head: "This is not a good example, we should not follow it." ”

The emperor said: "What Ji Yun said is reasonable, how can you learn to behave if you don't know all kinds of human feelings?" It is not enough to die just by reading. When you have time, let Ying Yan see this. ”

The eldest prince whispered: "Erchen knows how to play dice. ”

The emperor asked, "Where do you know?" ”

The eldest prince said honestly: "Look at what the eunuchs have played." ”

Xie Ning's heart tightened, she had too many things here in the past two days, Princess Mingshou's affairs, and Princess Yuyao's affairs. Not to mention that the emperor disposed of several people around Princess Yuyao so decisively, leaving no room at all. At this time, the eldest prince casually said that the eunuchs were gambling in private, should he send another batch of people?

Changing hands is not a trivial matter, and when a newcomer comes, things can't be done for a while, and Shaining is not at ease.

Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but smiled and said, "Is it? When I was a child, I also saw eunuchs and guards gambling in private. What did Ying Yan see the doorway? ”

This was a little difficult for the eldest prince, he thought for a while before saying: "Usually they talk and walk, they are very careful, and there is not much movement. But when I play with dice, sometimes I am happy, and my voice is louder, and I don't look respectful. ”

is really a child in the palace, Xie Ning remembers that when his cousins were so old, they would definitely not be able to say such words as "happy in shape".

The emperor inquired and inquired, led the eldest prince to think, and said his thoughts: "That's right. Is it right for the eunuchs to do this? ”

This time, the eldest prince did not hesitate: "That's not right." ”

"Why?"

"If it's right, they don't have to put down the curtain and play secretly. And if you forget the shape when you play this, you will miss a serious errand. ”

"That's right." The emperor said: "Gambling is not a good thing, and it is even more foolish to pin one's net worth and life on illusory luck." When you are older and you know more people, you will also be exposed to social entertainment, which can be enjoyed occasionally, but you must not indulge in it and cannot extricate yourself, let alone lose your mind to pleasure and playthings, do you remember? ”

The eldest prince stood up and saluted in a proper manner: "The son understands that the son must follow his father's teachings." ”

This kid is really sensible.

It's just too sensible and distressing.

"It's not easy for our boat to go to the lotus dock, and if you want to enjoy the fish, you can only get off the boat." The emperor said to Xie Ning: "Find a day when there is a drizzle, let's row a small boat to enjoy the lotus flowers." ”

Boating in the rain to enjoy the flowers, as soon as you hear it, it is so meaningful.

But Xie Ning also had to say ugly things in front: "Although the concubines used to take boats, they couldn't rock oars, would the emperor do?" ”

If you don't know both, you'll have to prepare your rowers, or you'll be making a joke.

The emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will do this." ”

Where did the emperor learn?

Xie Ning pondered in her heart for a while, and before she could ask clearly, the emperor glanced at the shore, and his face sank slightly.

Shainin also glanced to the shore. There are people in the pavilion next to the lake, and they are very conspicuous from a distance in red and green.

Look at that posture is waiting for them to come to the shore.

If there is any concubine in the harem, it should not be so big, and the emperor will not show his face like this.

Xie Ning may not have guessed it before, but he has only seen it, and he jumped out without thinking about the answer now.

That is, Princess Mingshou can do such a thing, right?

changed others, and in the Imperial Garden, he didn't have the audacity to be arrogant.

It seems that the emperor really doesn't want to see this eldest sister.

She hadn't had time to tell the emperor about Xie Ning's humiliation yesterday, but the emperor might not know. Because from last night to now, he hasn't asked her if she is having fun going to Changchun Garden to enjoy the flowers.

I want to meet with Princess Mingshou again, and say that Xie Ning has no pimples in his heart, which is fake. But Princess Mingshou is the emperor's eldest sister, and Xie Ning can only endure being lost face by her. Today in front of the emperor, if she is still the same as yesterday, especially if the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao are also here today, Xie Ning can't guarantee whether she will continue to swallow her anger.

Looking at the emperor's appearance, he was not happy to meet Princess Mingshou.

The boat docked here, Princess Mingshou came up with someone, she was wearing a pearl necklace around her neck today, the beads were round and flawless, and such a necklace alone could be called a lot of value. Even if it's a good thing, it depends on who wears it, Princess Mingshou's neck is a little thick, this string of beads should not be a newly acquired jewelry, it is a little tight, and the neck looks thicker.

"The emperor is really good Yaxing, so many people are waiting to see him with an excerpt, and he actually left a big event to visit the lake for fun." Princess Mingshou didn't come with good intentions, so she said aggressively: "I sent someone early in the morning, but I got into the garden and pounced." Her gaze swept over Xie Ning's face, and then at the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao who were following behind, and her chin raised arrogantly: "I don't know if the emperor is having fun?" ”

Even if it is a brother and sister, but the emperor is the emperor after all, Princess Mingshou didn't even have a little courtesy, which really shocked Xie Ning.

The eldest prince was a little overwhelmed. According to the etiquette and rules he received, Princess Mingshou should first salute the emperor, and then he and his younger siblings should salute Aunt Mingshou, at least when they saw Aunt Mingwei before. But Princess Mingshou came up to ask the teacher for sin, and she had no intention of saluting, which made the eldest prince not know how to greet her in order.

"Sister Huang sent someone? I haven't heard of that. The emperor's tone was light: "Sister Huang doesn't have to stand under the sun and wait if she has something, she will talk about it when she has something to say." ”

This is like a brother and sister, Xie Ning felt that the emperor even spoke to Bai Hongqi and Li Zhiling more cordial than to Princess Mingshou.

It can't be said how polite the emperor's current tone is, in fact, this tone can be regarded as amiable, that is, after all, Xie Ning has been with the emperor for a long time, and from the emperor's current demeanor and tone, you can judge whether he is really relaxed and happy.

The emperor is now like wearing a mask, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows he shows are not from his heart.
