Chapter 13 Pianpian Son, Gentle as Jade
Following.
Early in the morning, Gu Wanchao entered the palace again in the Gu family's carriage, but the eunuch who guided her today did not take her directly to find Princess Yimeng, but went in the direction of the East Palace.
"Father-in-law, where are we going?" She trotted over to her father-in-law, who was leading the way, tilted her head and asked.
"The princess in the princess's palace is unwell, and His Majesty has decreed that he will study with the princes in the East Palace for the past few days."
"Oh, I see." After getting the answer, she obediently followed behind her and went all the way to the East Palace.
Gu Wanchao had only been to the East Palace once, that is, when Li Changning was about to go to get married, she went to pick up the dowry items prepared by the prince for Li Changning.
The crown prince is eleven years old this year, and he studies hard in the palace on weekdays, rarely appears, and even she has never seen her.
"Chaochao." Not far away, Princess Yimeng ran all the way and reached out to grab her arm.
"I have long wanted to study with the prince's brother, but my father and mother said that what men learn is different from ours, so they arranged for us to be a separate master, now it's okay, the master is sick, and I finally got what I wanted."
Speaking of coming to the East Palace to study, Princess Yimeng was overjoyed.
"You have to be careful not to let the Taifu hear this, otherwise, be careful of the ring ruler in his hand." Gu Wanchao learned the appearance of Taifu beating people with a ring ruler.
"Oh, God knows, you know I know, you can't tell Taifu."
"Don't worry, as long as there is delicious food, Chaochao's mouth is the strictest."
"Little girl, you know how to eat." Princess Yimeng stretched out a finger and gently tapped Gu Wanchao's head.
The two joked all the way to the school, not to mention that all the masters in the world are the same, the Taifu of the East Palace is much older, and he is much more serious than the previous Taifu, and if he is not careful, he will be hit on the head by the book.
After a lecture, several sons who accompanied the reading were taught by Taifu, including Xiao Yanqing.
"Brother Prince." After the hall, Princess Yimeng led Gu Wanchao to wander around, and happened to bump into the prince who was studying in the pavilion.
Princess Yimeng trotted all the way to the prince, and the little Gu Wanchao followed, and saluted the prince, "His Royal Highness the prince, Jin An." ”
"No need to be polite." The prince's temperament is gentle and elegant, and he is also handsome, which makes people want to be close to him.
"Brother Prince, your Taifu here is not fun at all, he is more old-fashioned than the one in my palace, and he knows how to beat people." Princess Yimeng pouted and complained of dissatisfaction.
Gu Wanchao sat on the stone bench and looked around, the East Palace was really quiet, and the prince was only followed by a serving eunuch, compared to other princes and princesses, he didn't have the grandeur that a prince should have.
"Although the Taifu is a little old-fashioned, it is always for your own good, you can listen to the study with peace of mind, and when the Taifu in your palace is well-raised, you can go back."
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao turned her head to look at the prince opposite, she had only heard that the prince was gentle, but she never thought that it was so gentle.
If this is changed to the son of an ordinary family, others will praise the son of Pian, but he was born in the emperor's family, and with such a temperament, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not suffer in the future.
"Well, by the way, Brother Prince, this is Chaochao."
"I have long heard that the little daughter in Gu Xiang's mansion is not only smart, but also cute, and when I see it today, it is true."
The prince was very good at talking about the scene, Gu Wanchao smiled at him slightly, and it was rare that he didn't talk.
After Princess Yimeng talked with the prince for a while, the two left the East Palace together, and Princess Yimeng dragged Gu Wanchao to Concubine Ning's palace to sit for a while, she couldn't help it, so she could only rely on it.
Since Gu Wanchao read to Princess Yimeng, her homework has improved a lot, and Concubine Ning, who originally liked Gu Wanchao, was even happier when she looked at Gu Wanchao.
"Come, Chaochao, this is the grapes that have just been sent from the dining room, try them." Concubine Ning put Princess Yimeng in her arms, beckoned Gu Wanchao to sit down opposite, and handed her the grapes in front of her.
"Thank you, Concubine Ning."
She reached out and plucked a grape and threw it into her mouth, "It's so sweet." ”
She has been in charge of herself since she was a child, studying hard, studying hard, and making herself better, just so that her mother can see herself more.
When she misses her mother, she will look for sweet things to eat, and she always feels like her mother is by her side.
It wasn't until she got older that she gradually realized that no matter how hard she tried, her mother would not come.
Thinking about it, Gu Wanchao's tears fell uncontrollably, and the warm liquid fell on the back of her small hand, which was actually a little hot.
She held back her tears without a trace, and replaced her face with that innocent smile.
"Eat more if you like." Concubine Ning looked at Gu Wanchao gently, with a smile on her face.
"Uh-huh."
"The emperor has arrived."
As soon as Gu Wanchao picked a grape and threw it into his mouth, the voice of the grand duke beside the emperor came from outside the door.
Several people stood up when they heard the voice, "See Your Majesty." ”
"You don't have to be polite to love the concubine." After the emperor helped Concubine Ning up, he took Princess Yimeng into his arms.
After Concubine Ning gave a few words to the grandmother on the side, the grandmother walked out.
When the emperor sat down and looked around, he realized that the spicy little girl was also there that day, "The girl of the Gu family is also here?" ”
"Father, the court is early today, and Yimeng will let the court come to the palace to play." Without waiting for Gu Wanchao to speak, Princess Yimeng accosted.
"Little girl, is that kid from the Xiao family still making trouble for you?"
"Back to Your Majesty, no." Gu Wanchao replied with his head down.
The grandmother who had just gone out walked in from outside with a bowl of soup, and Concubine Ning stood up when she saw this and put the soup in front of the emperor.
"Come here." She beckoned, Shi Yiyi dreamed of not sticking to the emperor.
Princess Yimeng obediently jumped out of the emperor's arms.
"Your Majesty, when the concubine saw that your face was not good, she specially ordered someone to boil the ginseng soup and drink it while it was hot."
After hearing Concubine Ning's words, Gu Wanchao also looked up at the emperor's face, it was indeed even paler than when he saw him a few days ago, thinking that it must be because of the excess of heart and headache, this is the emperor's old problem.
However, the excess of heart fire is the most taboo ginseng.
"Your Majesty, my mother said that you can't drink ginseng soup when you have a headache." Anyway, she is a child now, and in line with the premise of childlike words, she opened her mouth to stop the emperor's action of drinking soup.
"Oh? How do you know I have a headache? The emperor put down the soup in his hand and looked at Gu Wanchao with interest.
"Your Majesty has rubbed his head several times since he entered the door, isn't it just a headache?" In fact, she just asked the emperor to rub it when she just raised her head, but in order to make the emperor believe what she said, she could only exaggerate.
