Chapter 30: Eating Together

"Then your eldest brother is also studying at the National Academy?" I asked out of curiosity.

Zhou Xiaoxue glanced at her strangely, and then whispered, "Your Highness doesn't know that only the children of the descendants are eligible to come to the National Academy for admission?" ”

"Huh? The first time I heard about it, didn't your eldest brother study? Yuan Yuan looked at her curiously.

Zhou Xiaoxue probably knew why she didn't know about these things, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was the heart and soul of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother, so she naturally lived a carefree life.

"Your Highness, my eldest brother is studying in a private public college, he is very good at reading, and he is also very good at riding and archery." Zhou Xiaoxue unconsciously began to be proud when she talked about her eldest brother's excellence.

When I heard the word "riding archery" for the first time, my eyes were full of doubts, "What is mounted archery?" ”

"Archery on horseback, it's a discipline they have for men, we don't have it." Zhou Xiaoxue was a little disappointed when she said this, she really wanted to ride a horse and shoot arrows like her eldest brother, so she would be as powerful as her eldest brother!

"It's okay, I'll talk to Yan Shenzhi when I go back, and ask him to take us to ride horses and shoot arrows." Yuan Yuan was aroused, and after seeing the expectation in Zhou Xiaoxue's eyes, he planned to go to Yan Huai.

"Really? Thank you, Your Highness! Zhou Xiaoxue didn't expect that she would be interested in riding and archery, so that she could follow it.

The two little girls wanted to continue talking about horseback archery, but the gentleman had already come to the classroom and had to wait until the end of school.

At noon, after school, the original wish had already made an appointment with Zhou Xiaoxue, they now had lunch in the East Palace, and then played for a while, and then asked Yan Huai to take them to ride horses and shoot arrows.

But eating at the same table with Yan Huai, Zhou Xiaoxue was still a little scared, and even asked if she could set up a small table for her, and she could just eat two bites.

"Hahahahaha, Xiaoxue, you're so timid." I was willing to laugh at her unkindly, Yan Shenzhi had nothing to be afraid of, and he didn't eat people.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Xiaoxue shouted to her with an embarrassed face.

Yan Huai was walking towards the two of her with Tsing Yi Chasing the Wind and Xiao Dezi, Zhou Xiaoxue saw Yan Huai and immediately bowed and saluted, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"No courtesy." Yan Huai replied coldly, and then took Yuanyuan's hand and walked in front.

Tsing Yi accompanied Zhou Xiaoxue to the end, and seeing the little girl beside her looking like a great enemy, Tsing Yi asked in a low voice, "Miss Zhou, is there anything unwell in her body?" ”

"The little girl is fine, thank you aunt for your concern." Zhou Xiaoxue didn't dare to talk nonsense, her little face was full of nervousness, her mother said, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess favored her out of gratitude, she must not gain an inch because of this, but should be more cautious in words and deeds.

How could the little girl's mind hide from Tsing Yi, who had been in the deep palace for several years, and comforted her gently, "Miss Zhou, don't be nervous, you are Miss Xinxin's friend, you are a distinguished guest of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats people gently and peacefully, you just need to get along with Miss Xinxin as usual." ”

"Thank you aunt for your advice, Xiaoxue will remember it in my heart." Zhou Xiaoxue said gratefully to Tsing Yi.

At the bend in front, he was supposed to go back to the East Palace through the Imperial Garden, but he went in the opposite direction, and he shook Yan Huai's hand and reminded, "Yan Shenzhi, we are going the wrong way, and the East Palace is over there." As he spoke, he pointed out the direction of the East Palace.

"The queen mother held a banquet in Weiyang Hall to entertain Miss Zhou, thank her for saving you." After Yan Huai finished speaking, he broke free of his hand and ran towards Zhou Xiaoxue behind him.

"Xiaoxue, Yan Shenzhi said that we are not eating in the East Palace, we will go to my aunt's place to eat, my aunt has prepared a lot of delicious food, thank you for saving me." Yuan Yuan happily took her hand and said.

Zhou Xiaoxue's whole person was not good, and she confirmed the aunt in her mouth to Yuan Yuan, "The aunt Your Highness said won't be the queen's mother, right?" ”

"Yes, Auntie is fine, don't be afraid, you are my friend, and Auntie must like you very much." Yuan wished to promise her.

"Your Highness, if I say something wrong, you must save me!" Zhou Xiaoxue seemed to foresee that she would be reprimanded or anger the queen to commit some major crime that would affect the family.

I didn't understand why she said such a thing, so my aunt wouldn't scold, but she still calmed Xiaoxue's uneasy mood next week, "No, Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Although Tsing Yi didn't know what Zhou Xiaoxue had made up in her brain, it was definitely her worry, Zhou Xiaoxue saved her wish, but the queen mother rewarded the Zhou family with a lot of jewelry, silk and satin, how could she do anything to Zhou Xiaoxue.

While talking, the group arrived at the Weiyang Palace, and originally wanted to lead Zhou Xiaoxue to the flower hall familiarly, while Yan Huai and Mama Tang asked about the queen's physical condition these days.

Empress Wen was already waiting for the two little girls in the flower hall, and she was naturally happy to hear that Xinxin had been running to Zhou's house these days, and the little girl could make a good friend.

"Auntie!" Before the person arrived, the soft voice of Yuan Yuan had already shouted, let go of Zhou Xiaoxue's hand, and rushed to Queen Wen like a small cannonball to hug her.

"Auntie, I miss you so much." After saying that, he rubbed it in Queen Wen's arms with attachment.

Zhou Xiaoxue walked up to Empress Wen in a restrained manner, and saluted dignifiedly, "The courtiers have seen the queen's mother. ”

"Excuse me, you are the little girl of the Zhou family? Wenwen is quiet, but she is much more than Xinxin, a little leather monkey lady. Empress Wen patted the original wish and quipped, saying disgusting words, but she did not pull the unladylike wish away from her arms.

"Queen Xie, Your Highness is very cute, and the courtiers are honored to be Your Highness's friend." Zhou Xiaoxue didn't dare to hold it up, and replied decently.

"Miss Zhou doesn't need to be nervous, heart, hurry up and greet your friends for dinner, Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious food." Empress Wen said and put down her wish and let the two little girls sit together.

Yan Huai also came over after asking about the matter, walked down beside Queen Wen, and started to have lunch.

Tsing Yi arranged vegetables for her next to her according to her usual habits, the little girl ate happily, she was not satisfied with the food, Zhou Xiaoxue was obviously very restrained, and only dared to clip the dish in front of her, so she ate it with rice.

Empress Wen naturally noticed Zhou Xiaoxue's discomfort, glanced at Tsing Yi, and motioned her to take care of one or two, Tsing Yi immediately understood, and began to cook for Zhou Xiaoxue, Zhou Xiaoxue looked at her gratefully, knowing that she must have taken care of herself in the face of her original wishes.

Queen Wen sandwiched the ribs between the two little girls, and then asked what the two little girls were going to do in the afternoon?

"Auntie, let Yan Shenzhi take us to ride horses and shoot arrows, okay? I haven't seen it yet. Yuan Yuan did not forget what he promised Zhou Xiaoxue, and took the opportunity to mention it.
