Chapter XI
When His Royal Highness King Yu left the palace, he held the gorgeous horsewhip in one hand, Ye Qian in the other, and a palace maid held a cherry and followed them.
"Fourth brother." The prince came over, "This is to see the Jade Concubine?" β
King Yu nodded, "I'm about to leave the palace." β
The prince's eyes turned around on Ye Qian's body, tsk, this is too small, but the fourth child is lucky, this little girl is a beauty, if it grows for another two or three years, it is the best time, young and immature, ignorant, half-open, picking at that time, the taste is the most wonderful.
King Yu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and with a move of his footsteps, he blocked Ye Qian behind him, "Where is the prince going?" β
"Father asked me to discuss this year's household departmentβ" The prince paused and waved his hand, "Anyway, you're not interested, so let's go." β
"The prince walks slowly." King Yu stared at the back of the prince and saw that he was far away, so he took Ye Qian's hand and continued to the palace gate.
When she arrived at the carriage, Ye Qian still opened her arms, and King Yu carried her into the carriage, took the cherry from the palace maid, and followed her into the carriage.
Ye Li is uneasy in his heart, King Yu is an arrogant and domineering prince, Concubine Yu is a concubine with a luxurious personality, and the baby sister gets along with these two people, and I don't know if she will be wronged. Seeing that it was already time and his sister hadn't come back yet, he couldn't sit still.
Thinking about whether to go to the palace gate to pick up, and afraid of missing it on the road, he was hesitating, pacing back and forth at the gate, and saw the luxurious carriage of King Yu coming.
"Brother!" Ye Qian lifted the curtain of the car, revealing a smiling little face.
Ye Li's heart was steady, as soon as the carriage stopped, he hugged Ye Qian, who came out, and King Yu did not get out of the car, but only handed out the plate of bright red cherries.
Ye Qian happily took the cherry, "Your Highness, walk slowly." β
The corners of Ye Li's mouth couldn't help twitching, this cherry, it can't be that my sister asked for it from the Jade Concubine, right? It is not yet the time when cherries are ripe in large quantities, and they are not yet available on the market.
King Yu's carriage left, Ye Li pulled Ye Qian into the house, and asked carefully about what happened in the palace as he walked.
"The Jade Concubine is good-looking, but gentle." Ye Qian didn't say anything about her mouth bite, anyway, it would be fine when it was time for dinner, and she just said that her brother Bai was worried. Besides, she had a faint feeling in her heart, she didn't want her brother and King Yu to be too-for-tat, if her brother knew that King Yu pinched his face and bit his mouth, he would definitely be angry.
The two went to Siyuan Hall first, Ye Qian insisted on leaving half of the cherries for her mother, and when she came out, she wanted to divide the remaining half to her brother.
Ye Li is funny and relieved, my sister likes delicious food, but she never eats alone, and she will share anything good with her mother and herself. Don't look at him doesn't like dim sum cherries or anything, but his sister's heart to share his beloved things is still very useful.
He took a cherry, "It's enough for my brother to have this one, and the rest is Qianqian's." β

Because King Yu had personally visited, the small kitchen in Ye Qian's courtyard was quickly built, and the next day, Mama Feng also began to teach court etiquette.
Mama Feng and Ye Qian lived in the same courtyard, and the two went to the Little Flower Hall together, and as soon as they entered, they saw that Ye Fu, Ye Zhi, and Ye Rong had arrived.
Mama Feng was not surprised, she had already guessed it, and Ye Qian also told her in advance that this was the old lady's arrangement, if she didn't want to, even if she pushed it, anyway, she was a person from King Yu, not from the Hou Mansion, so she didn't need to listen to the old lady, as long as she moved out of His Royal Highness King Yu, who would dare to say anything.
Mama Feng didn't plan to push it off, as far as she was concerned, as long as she taught the little princess well, others were willing to follow aside, and it didn't matter. Besides, she also wanted to see what was going on in this Hou Mansion.
The three sisters in the second room stood up together and gave Mama Feng a half-salute.
Mama Feng returned the salute, "The old body is ordered by His Royal Highness King Yu to teach the girl etiquette, if the three girls are interested, please listen to it, as long as you don't disturb the old body to teach the girl." β
Her meaning is very clear, she only teaches Ye Qian, and others can listen if they want to, but she can't ask questions, and she won't teach specifically.
Ye Fu's thin eyebrows furrowed, a little unhappy, she wanted to learn hard, if Mama Feng didn't guide herself, who knew if her movements were standard?
Yeats doesn't care, anyway, she rarely has the opportunity to go to any banquet, like the palace level, let alone think about it, Ye Rong dared to secretly follow to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she didn't receive any punishment when she came back, she didn't dare, besides, she just wanted to go with her secretly, and no one was willing to take her secretly.
Ye Rong was overjoyed, she didn't want to learn any etiquette, they had all learned before, standing, walking, saluting or something, they were all taught by someone, it was already very hard, if she learned any court etiquette, she would definitely suffer more.
Mama Feng only glanced at the reactions of the three of them, and she already had a rough idea in her heart, so she didn't say anything else, and started teaching directly. Worried that Ye Qian would not be comfortable at first, she started with the most comfortable sitting position, so that the little princess would not be willing to learn because she worked too hard.
Ye Qian sat on the chair, and Mama Feng patiently told her how to sit comfortably and look good in front of people who are lower than herself, and how to sit respectfully and effortlessly in front of people who are higher than herself.
Her voice was neither high nor low, everyone in the room could hear it clearly, Ye Fu pricked up her ears and listened carefully, sat on the chair, and tried her best to adjust her sitting posture according to Mama Feng's words, Ye Rong seemed to be much more leisurely, and Mama Feng wouldn't care about her anyway.
Mama Feng's hand held Ye Qian's chubby waist and helped her find the right angle. As the king of Yu, Ye Qian will inevitably have to socialize with the ladies and ladies in Kyoto in the future, and she will inevitably enter the palace to meet the queen and others.
However, Mama Feng also remembered the words of King Yu, and did not ask her harshly, after all, as King Yu, no one would find fault with her etiquette, as long as it seemed like that on the surface.
In just half an hour, Mama Feng announced that it was over and would continue tomorrow.
Ye Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was still afraid that Mama Feng would talk too much and she would not be able to remember, but now it just happened, while the impression was clear, she could go back to her yard to practice.
Ye Qian and Mama Feng went back to the courtyard, and Mama Feng did not enter the wing room where she lived, but followed Ye Qian into the main house.
She glanced around the room without a trace, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and then she was relieved. Before she came, King Yu told her about the situation of the Hou Mansion, and the current old lady was not the original match of the old Hou Ye, but the continuation of the string. Among the three brothers of the Hou Mansion, the missing Hou Ye was born to the original match, and the second and third masters were the sons of the old lady.
For the sake of interests, she has seen a lot of things about her brothers being on the wall, not to mention that they are not relatives. As soon as she heard this, she understood her master's worries, her father disappeared inexplicably, her mother was bedridden, she only had one brother, and she couldn't be in the house all the time, and the situation of the little princess was not good.
Bai Zhen and Lu Fei both had an inexplicable awe of Mama Feng, and their waists were straighter than usual.
Mama Zhao is not in the main house, but in the wing room, she is the housekeeper in the yard, at this age, she doesn't need to serve Ye Qian with tea and water all the time, as long as she manages the personnel in the yard.
Mama Feng was sent by King Yu, and she was more capable than her, so she was a little worried that her position would be threatened. Yesterday, Mama Feng didn't come to the girl's side, she was a little relieved, but she didn't expect that from the window, Mama Feng actually followed the girl into the house.
Her heart tightened, so she quickly got up and went to the main house.
