234 The Way
Yong'an Palace now has only one master, the eldest prince, but because Zhou Yuchen is responsible for the inside and outside, and Liu Shanggong is properly arranged, there is no cramped omission at all. β¦The eldest prince was also like a host, entertaining the two companions to eat and rest, and went to the Nanyuan study in the afternoon.
The weather is fine today, if it is rain, snow and windy weather, Master Hou will not allow them to come to the martial arts arena. The eldest prince adjusted the frequency of exhalation and inhalation according to the method that Master Hou said, practiced for a while, and walked around the martial arts arena a few times.
There was no horseback riding, nor did he practice boxing or swords like others.
But even so, after a few laps, the eldest prince was sweaty on his forehead and panting. The two little eunuchs who were guarding the side seized the opportunity to rush up, one wiped the sweat of the eldest prince, and the other opened the tightly wrapped soup can that had been held in his arms, poured out a bowl of warm soup and handed it to the eldest prince.
Master Hou on the side looked at this scene and inevitably sighed in his heart.
Others envy him for the smoke coming from his ancestral tomb and getting such an errand to teach the prince. In fact, who knows what is in his heart? He would rather not have this honor.
He has learned a lot of skills from his body since he was a child, is it just to serve a sick man now? Although it is said that if you learn literature and martial arts, you can get the emperor's family, then it depends on how the goods are, right?
The brother-in-law patted him on the shoulder and congratulated him, saying that the emperor heard that their family is a rare longevity, great-grandfather, grandfather, and uncle, all of whom have lived past seventy, and can still walk like a fly when they are over seventy, and can eat three bowls of rice at one meal, which shows that their family's family kung fu is very good at health and fitness.
That's why he was appointed by the emperor to condition the body of the eldest prince.
This errand of serving the master is not good, it must not be taken lightly, and it cannot be taken lightly at all, and I am afraid that if the master has something wrong, he will be blamed at every turn.
Trapped in such a small school field, I don't know when such a day will be a head.
But his colleagues in the past still envy him, he doesn't have to be born and die, he can easily please the prince, and his promotion is just around the corner.
Even if you don't look at the eldest prince, the two companions can't see any talent for martial arts. Princess Mingwei and Qiao Juma's son, that kid is a little too stupid at first glance, and he is not interested in how to boil his body and learn to ride a bow and horse.
As for Wei Guogong's grandson, it's okay to look at. However, the patriotic family has been passed down for several generations, and there is no longer as brave as before, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to lead the army to fight.
The eldest prince stayed in the martial arts training ground for about an hour and then went back.
After going back, the eldest prince practiced calligraphy for a while, learned music from Wang Moyan for a while, and read books for a while. When Liu Shanggong came in and asked him where the dinner was, the eldest prince thought for a while: "Just put it outside." β
I can't remember how long it has been since a single person had eaten. The small dining table was full.
The eldest prince picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup first.
Seeing that the eldest prince didn't eat much, Liu Shanggong asked softly, "Your Highness, is the food unappetizing?" β
The eldest prince shook his head: "Liu Shang Palace, you said that the father and the mother are also having dinner now, right?" β
Liu Shanggong smiled and said, "Presumably so." The slave maid thought, it's time for the emperor to board the ship, right? I guess I'm going to have dinner on the boat right now. β
The eldest prince's thoughts seemed to spread out with her words, crossing the palace wall and flying out of the capital.
The imperial boat was quietly moored on the shore at this moment, and the emperor and Xie Ning were indeed having dinner.
It's not as elaborate as when she was in the palace, there are just a few simple dishes on the table, Princess Yuyao is holding a bowl, and there is no bite to pick up rice in her mouth.
Going out early this morning, Princess Yuyao looked around with great interest along the way, seeing everything fresh.
I was too happy during the day, and now I naturally have no energy and no appetite to eat.
Xie Ning touched her head: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it, drink the soup, and let Guo Shanggong serve you to sleep early." β
I have to travel tomorrow, all day, and I can't do it without taking care of my spirits.
Princess Yuyao nodded, picked up the bowl and drank the soup inside, obediently got up and saluted the emperor and Xie Ning to leave, and followed Guo Shanggong out.
The emperor asked her, "Are you tired today?" β
Xie Ning originally wanted to say that she was not tired, but when the words came to her lips and looked at the emperor's face, she still said the truth: "It's a little tired...... It's probably been a long time since I've been out, and I'm a little unaccustomed to taking a car. β
The emperor sent back to her what she said to Princess Yuyao just now: "Don't hold on if you don't have an appetite, drink some soup and rest early." β
Xie Ning couldn't help but ask, "What about the emperor?" β
The emperor got up as early as they did, and he also hurried for a day, but they could rest, and the emperor was afraid that he couldn't rest.
Sure enough, the emperor said, "I still want to see someone, you go to sleep first." β
Being the emperor is not an easy errand, he gets up earlier than others, sleeps later than ordinary people, and has to deal with so many large and small government affairs all day long.
"Don't worry about me, I've been squinting on the royal chariot for a while today."
Xie Ning poured the soup into the rice and mixed it, and finished half a bowl of rice with cold cabbage, and the emperor didn't eat much.
Shainin returned to the cabin.
At first glance, I thought she hadn't left Yong'an Palace, and the cabin was fully furnished, with screens, curtains, incense burners, bookcases, and beds.
Xie Ning didn't know when Qinghe and the others packed up the cabin. The same is to get up early and go on the road, Shainin is served all the way, they are waiting for people all the way, and they have to rush to finish the work when they get on the boat.
Qingmei came in with hot water and served Xie Ning to remove makeup and wash.
Xie Ning sat in front of the bronze mirror and dismantled her head, Qingmei opened the box containing the comb grate, first combed her hair with a coarse-toothed comb, and then went through it with a fine-toothed comb. The comb teeth scraped the scalp, the feeling was very comfortable, and the combed Shainin almost fell asleep in front of the mirror.
She had just laid down when she heard someone talking outside.
"Princess, princess......"
Princess Yuyao put on her shoes and ran in from outside, holding her pillow.
Xie Ning was startled when he saw that she was only wearing a small jacket and rushed in with a loose cloak.
"Yu Yao? How did you get here? β
Princess Yuyao ran to the bed, threw the pillow on the bed, and climbed onto the couch with her hands and feet into Xie Ning's quilt.
Guo Shanggong chased after her, but she stopped at the door, she didn't dare to trespass on this cabin.
The emperor only brought a master of the concubine Niangniang with him on his patrol, in case the emperor was in the cabin, Guo Shanggong would not cause a big disaster.
"Guo Shanggong?" Xie Ning asked out loud: "Princess, what's wrong?" β
Guo Shanggong replied through the screen: "The slave maid thinks that the princess is a strange place and does not dare to sleep alone......"
Shainin guessed that it was probably the same.
Princess Yuyao slept with her for a while when she came to Yong'an Palace, and then her condition gradually improved, and she didn't pester her at night for a long time.
Now that she is away from home, not to mention that Princess Yuyao is a little afraid of life, even Xie Ning is a little unaccustomed to it.
Guo Shanggong said with some trepidation: "The slave maid will take the princess back to sleep......
Princess Yuyao got into the quilt and left a small head outside, and shook Xie Ning violently when she heard the words.
"Just let her stay here." Xie Ning stretched out his hand and poked her forehead lightly: "It's still cold, don't catch a cold if you let her move around." β
The concubine said this, and Guo Shanggong had no choice but to respond.
Xie Ning lifted the corner of the quilt and asked her softly, "Why are you angry?" Really scared of life? β
Princess Yuyao pouted and did not speak.
"If you want to sleep here, you can't wet the bed anymore. By the way, I forgot to ask Guo Shanggong just now if you drank water before going to bed......"
Princess Yuyao was annoyed: "I didn't." β
Shainin comforted her with no sincerity: "Yes, yes, no." It's not early, close your eyes and go to sleep, Ming'er still has to hurry. β
Princess Yuyao stretched out her two arms together and hugged Xie Ning, and Xie Ning was almost out of breath.
"Look, you're trying to crush me?"
Princess Yuyao snorted, but she didn't let go.
Xie Ning had no choice but to find a more comfortable posture for himself, and warned Princess Yuyao by the way: "Close your eyes, you can't sleep with your eyes open." β
Princess Yuyao's big eyes blinked twice, and her long eyelashes flickered like two small fans.
She closed her eyes, and Shainin closed them reassuringly.
When the emperor came back, the tent had been put down, but there were obviously two pairs of shoes in front of the bed. A pair of shoes with the tip outward, put the rules and regulations. One pair was kicked very messily, one on the pedal, and the other at the end of the bed.
When the emperor opened the tent, he saw Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao with their heads together, face to face, both sleeping soundly.
Both faces were flushed with sleep, and they looked very peaceful in the candlelight.
Originally, this bed was not as wide as the bed in the palace, and at this time, Princess Yuyao was on her back, and there was no place for the emperor to lie down.
Besides, he was also afraid that the movement of his sleep would disturb Xie Ning and Yu Yao.
There is also a short couch in the house, it should be appropriate for Xie Ning to take a nap on it, if the emperor comes to lie down, it will be short and narrow.
But at this time, the emperor didn't want to sleep in other cabins at all, he motioned for Qingmei to lay out the bedding, and lay down on the short couch.
Princess Yuyao didn't know if she dreamed of eating in a dream, and her little mouth smacked.
The next day, the royal driver continued to move forward, and Princess Yuyao was tired of the novelty of taking the boat for less than half a day. Riding a boat is actually a very depressing thing, the place where you can move is a little bigger, and there is no pastime on the boat. The scenery outside the window is not static, but it is much the same, with many trees, and sometimes you can see the house.
Even so, Shainin didn't dare to let her always lie by the window and look out, the spring was cold, and Shainin was afraid that the two children would catch a cold if the wind blew it.
Princess Yuyao, who was bored, could only make fun of her younger brother.
