Chapter 46 The School Matters
The excitement lasted only one night, and Zhaoqi encountered the first resistance.
After getting up in the belated morning light, he started the morning class not long after, and Zhaoqi didn't see Xiaoluo. Finally got out of class, Rong Niang came to invite, usually the mother concubine was looking for herself to send a little palace maid, but now Rong Niang came to invite it must be an important matter. Zhao Qi didn't think much about following Rong Niang from the school to Yufu Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the Yufu Palace, Zhao Qi was inexplicably nervous. He really didn't understand what the hell was going on? Where are you still nervous about entering the palace of the concubine? With Rong Niang leading the way, it seems that she is walking directly into the main hall. The mother concubine has always liked to be in the west courtyard of the main hall in winter, where the sun has always been warmer. If you are in the main hall, either your father is coming or you have something to announce, is there something you need in the palace recently? Before I knew it, I had arrived in the palace, and I saw my mother sitting on the left, and Zhaoye and Zhaoning were sitting on the left and right. It looks like there's a family meeting coming up, could it be that it has something to do with me?
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Zhao Qi Chenchen saluted politely.
"Is it that if I don't look for you, you won't come back?" Ning Guifei did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Where is the mother, my son doesn't dare." As he spoke, he squinted at the eldest sister and eldest brother, these two people were still there like two stone statues, and Zhao Qi was a little uneasy in his heart: Could it be that they are here for me.
The room was quiet, Rong Niang stepped back softly and silently closed the door.
"Yesterday, Zhaoning told me that the granddaughter of the Yanfu family was accepted into Shoukang Palace by the Queen Mother." Ning Guifei said unhurriedly.
"Yes, she will be the county lord of Zhaoyang in the future." Zhao Qi did not hide his true colors, and said with a happy face.
"What does this have to do with us?" Ning Guifei stared at Zhao Qi and asked.
"Self-...... It doesn't matter. "Finally, I felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and Zhao Qi stuttered a little.
"It's okay, you can move to Yufu Palace as soon as possible." After Ning Guifei finished speaking, she stroked the most beautiful dazzling red finger scissors on her index finger.
"Why?" The surprise of not having time to turn made Zhao Qi's voice more than double.
"Why? Why else is this needed? You are the prince and she is the county lord, how can you live in the same palace together, you don't want a reputation, don't you want your girl's family? Zhao Ning stood up in time and explained carefully.
Looking at her sister's delicate face, Zhao Qi suddenly remembered the bitter way she persuaded herself yesterday.
"Did my sister tell my mother?" Zhao Qi asked in a lost voice.
"I don't need her to tell me, today's emperor's edict is to boycott all palaces and places, and after fifteen years, the ceremonial supervisor will pick a day to officially confer the title. She doesn't need your sister to tell me that little bit herself. Concubine Ning was quite disdainful.
"Then my mother also thinks that Xiaoluo's reputation for living in Shoukang Palace is not good?" Zhaoqi asked.
"What does it matter to me whether she has a good reputation or not?" Ning Guifei slowly got up and walked to Zhao Qi, held his hands and said,
"I only care about my son's reputation."
"Even if the mother thinks that it has nothing to do with her reputation, then the son doesn't care even more, the son ......"
"No, you don't care about your reputation, I care!" Ning Guifei said sharply.
This sound really scared Zhao Qi a lot, and he couldn't even say what he wanted to say later, and stood there with his mouth open.
Zhao Ning and Zhao Ye also knelt down together, and said sincerely: "Mother take care of your body. ”
Concubine Ning coughed twice at the right time, and she covered her mouth with a towel.
Zhao Qi was in a dilemma, and he was there for a while.
Zhao Ye is an eye-eyer, and seeing that Zhao Qi's eyes are useless, he walked quickly behind him and whispered,
"Don't apologize to your mother soon!"
"What a sin I have!" This sentence was shouted by Zhao Qi silently, he really didn't dare to disobey his mother, this was something that had never happened before.
It seems that the snake fights seven inches, and the mother still needs to find out why she is doing this? What exactly is the reason?
"Is the mother concubine worried that I will not be involved with the county lord of Zhaoyang?" Zhao Qi asked tentatively, and then answered to himself: "I will definitely take classes well and will not cause any trouble." ”
"Brother chess, it's too late when there's something wrong." Zhao Ning persuaded earnestly.
"But, but my mother, I was raised in Shoukang Palace when I was just born, and I have become accustomed to everything there over the years." Zhao Qi was a little anxious, and there were a few teardrops in the corners of his eyes in the urgency.
"What are you? Men don't flick if they have tears! Ning Guifei was angry and scolded sharply.
"Mother!" Zhaoqi is afraid of making his mother angry, which is really the fault of the son of man.
"Are you blaming the mother for not raising you?" Zhaoye was a little anxious, and blurted out the words in his heart.
As soon as these words came out, Ning Guifei also turned her head and stared at the son in front of her.
Zhao Qi explained eagerly: "I didn't, I didn't, the imperial brother misunderstood what I meant, and I never blamed the concubine." ”
"Then why won't you move back?" Ning Guifei endured the pain of being stabbed in her eldest son's heart and asked.
"I'm just used to being there, I'm used to life there." Zhaoqi told the truth.
Yes, since giving birth to this son, I haven't looked at it again. It wasn't until his son went to school that he accidentally saw that the person who was so similar to his father was not their eldest son Zhaoye, let alone the son of other concubines, but Zhaoqi, a person who looked the most like the emperor.
Since then, she has felt her concern for her son, and she has the concern of a mother. It was from then on that Zhaoqi began to occasionally come to the palace to see her, and slowly began to establish the relationship between mother and son.
"But you will still leave Shoukang Palace after all, and you will still get married and come to build a mansion outside." Concubine Ning's heart softened, and she tried to persuade her in her mother's tone.
"Mother, I haven't thought of it so much, you let me think about it slowly." Zhaoqi is not a crying character. After two tears, it didn't hurt much.
"Have you ever blamed your mother?" Ning Guifei asked sadly.
Zhaoye glanced at Zhaoning, and Zhaoning stepped forward to support his mother.
"No, never, I have my mother who I love so much, and I have the teachings of my brother and eldest sister. Coupled with the teachings of my grandmother in Shoukanggong, I have always considered myself lucky. "Zhaoqi said very sincerely.
But the wound that was stung by the eldest son's heart can't be healed with a word, and she is still very sad.
Not caring too much, Ning Guifei said a little tiredly: "You go back first, pay more attention to yourself." ”
Zhao Ning helped Ning Guifei out of the west courtyard, Rong Niang had already hurriedly stepped forward to help, and several people walked towards the backyard together.
"You really make the mother sad again!" Zhao Ye said strangely with a little displeasure.
"It's not me who makes the mother sad, it's the royal brother!" Zhao Qi said with an angry look.
"What do you mean?" Zhaoye pretended to be quite puzzled.
"Brother Huang is so smart, do you need me to say?" Why didn't Zhao Qi find out that the imperial brother's ability to deceive himself is not very strong.
"I don't think I'm wrong." Zhaoye felt that he was pretending to the end.
"I don't think I'm wrong." Zhao Qi learned from his words, and shrugged his shoulders a little comically.
Zhaoye didn't know what Zhaoqi meant. During this time, he always thought that his imperial brother only knew how to read and have fun, and he didn't understand human relations and political affairs at all. I don't know if I deliberately bluffed myself or if I knew something? However, in dealing with the matter of the concubine asking her to come back, he will use his own strength, and I don't know if it is a coincidence or intentionality.
If it was intentional, then he was not as simple as he thought before, and his royal brother was not a simple character.
It's the county lord of Zhaoyang, I have to pay attention to it in the future, the person who cried and suffered in the Xixing Pavilion still flashed in his mind from time to time, and in a blink of an eye, she had entered the palace and became the county lord, which should be an adventure that very few people will have.
"Brother Huang, little brother, I will leave here." Taking advantage of Zhaoye's daze for a while, Zhaoqi just wanted to slip away quickly, and he could have dinner with the imperial grandmother of Shoukang Palace at this time.
Xiaoluo should be there.
Indeed, not only Xiaoluo, but also her mother Yan Hui.
Yan Hui is a careful mother, but she sent her own clothes after a day, for fear that she would not be used to it in the palace, and she was easy to contract with wind and cold in this winter, so she also brought some anti-wind and cold medicine.
"Look at you sending these, I'm going to be able to compromise here? No jokes. The Queen Mother pretended to be unhappy.
Yan Hui had to hurry up with her, and she was embarrassed for a while, but she fell aside and said: "Grandmother doesn't have to care, my mother also pities me, how can I live up to my love for my daughter." ”
Everyone was very happy when he said this, and Zhaoqi was also very happy. Xiaoluo is so good at talking, it is not difficult to win people's hearts and minds to survive in the palace.
The Queen Mother squinted her loving eyes and said, "Luo'er is so eloquent, it's a pity not to go to school." ”
"Auntie, when Xiaoluo was young, he was taught by the good fate master of Zhao Temple, and he knew how to do piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and writing." Yan Hui hurriedly explained.
"That's enough, it's not enough!" After that, he looked at Xiaoluo Dao lovingly,
"It's the time to study to grow up, and it always doesn't hurt to eat more and go to school."
"I'm afraid that the county lord has no precedent for going to the study hall with the princes!" Yan Hui reminded softly.
You know, if you don't send Xiaoluo in, it would be more than enough for Yanfu to invite a gentleman to teach Xiaoluo, and they can't afford this tuition. But now that Xiaoluo has entered the palace, he can't go out to school every day. But there is no precedent for going to the study with the princes.
"There is no precedent, there is always the first one, and I am responsible for asking the emperor for a favor." The Queen Mother was really happy.
"Niece first, thank you Aunt Fa."
"Xiaoluo thanked the imperial grandmother." There was a small fall.
