Chapter 12: Entering the Palace

With the will set, after a set of processes was completed, the Jingbei Marquis Mansion finally received Fu Yuchen's edict that he successfully entered the palace to accompany him.

The day after receiving the holy decree, early in the morning, Fu Xuechen woke up, washed, warmed up for exercise, and had breakfast, ready to enter the palace.

Although the Jingbei Hou Mansion was jubilant, but in fact, this result was not too unexpected, Jingbei Hou looked calm and unexpected, and Mrs. Jingbei Hou was two more worried, and she got up early to be busy around Fu Xuechen.

Fortunately, the fact is that Fu Xuechen has passed the test safely, and she has not revealed any flaws at all during the period, so she has let go of many worries.

The time is very early, about six o'clock in the morning in the later generations, fortunately, there is no electronic entertainment such as mobile phones in the later generations, and there is no electric lighting at night, it is really boring to go dark everywhere, and get up early when you go to bed early, which invisibly cures Fu Xuechen's stinky problem in his previous life that he didn't sleep enough at noon and didn't think about it.

It's already half past six o'clock after being busy, and this time, because of the consistency in time, Jingbei Hou decided to take Fu Xuechen with him, and just on the way, he could also give his daughter a face-to-face order to ensure that she would never make a mistake in the palace.

The palace gate will open at about seven o'clock, and the official court meeting will be around eight o'clock, before that, the courtiers will first sign in their respective yamen, and then go to the square in front of the Taihe Hall to greet and talk, waiting for the routine court meeting that will be held every day.

Fu Xuechen separated from his father after entering the palace, and went to Mingde Hall by himself, which is a new side hall after entering the palace today, and it is a royal inner study hall dedicated to the prince and princess to study and study, and the location is about between the prince and the Taihe Palace, which is closer to the prince.

It is estimated that the time is about half past seven, and here in Mingde Hall, all the companions have arrived, five men and two women, a total of seven people, and the little girl of the Cui family is called Cui Xiaoyue, and she really became the princess's companion.

However, the princess actually chose two people, in addition to Cui Xiaoyue, there is another little girl with a quiet temperament and a happy round face, Fu Xuechen remembers that this round-faced little girl is surnamed Xia, and her father seems to be the right attendant of the ministry.

It is not as good as the middle school students in the later generations who registered for the first time, because they didn't know where their seats were, and everyone didn't dare to enter the school in advance, but they just stood in the courtyard in front of the hall, greeting each other, and mixing familiar faces, and the two little girls who accompanied the students occupied a corner far away, and they were in a class of their own.

After another moment, close to eight o'clock, the first person to arrive was Princess Zhiling, as soon as she appeared with Mama, the air was quiet, and everyone's eyes were on her.

The little girl's face was slightly red, and in the uneven sound of "I have seen the princess", she hurriedly dropped a sentence of "no courtesy", and was greeted by Cui Xiaoyue and the little girl surnamed Xia under the support of the palace maid and the grandmother.

Fu Xuechen glanced at the little girls a few times with a little envy, if it weren't for the princess's age being several years younger than her, she felt that the princess should have her own share of the quota, and the girls' exclusive circle of nobles was the circle she should be a mixed up.

was secretly sighing, his left arm was lightly bumped, and when he looked back, he was a slightly chubby young man, with clear eyebrows, but the smile on his face always seemed to be a little obscene, Fu Xuechen thought about it for a few seconds, and then recognized this as the companion of the fifth prince, Li Qiang, the concubine of Ningguo.

"This princess is well chosen! Especially that Xiaoxia girl, what does Brother Tai think? Li Qiang quietly looked at the few little girls over there, lowered her voice and asked Fu Xuechen with a smile, the closeness in her tone was like finding a friend.

Fu Xuechen's face darkened, and he said with white eyes: "What does the little girl who has not grown up look like, this is the palace, be careful, be cautious!" ”

Li Qiang was stunned, and actually agreed: "You're right! It's really not good-looking, it's not as good-looking as my girl. ”

Fu Xuechen was speechless.

The second person to arrive was the fourth prince Yuzhen, and after another burst of untidy "I have seen the four princes", his companion Chen Li greeted him.

The fourth prince didn't say anything, and he didn't have any expression, he only nodded to Chen Li, and took him to Mingde Hall first.

Immediately after, the five princes and the seventh prince arrived together, and after everyone saw the ceremony, they all joined their respective companions and entered the Mingde Hall.

Soon, the eldest prince who had not shown up during the selection also arrived, this was the first time Fu Xuechen had seen him up close, and he had heard of this eldest prince before.

When I saw it in person, I realized that this eldest prince was more than just a wooden one? Just his sluggish appearance that even stutters a little when he speaks, I'm afraid it's not a sequelae of meningitis or a half-cerebral palsy child? No wonder they all performed the crown salute, and they had to be sent back to school again by the Holy Lord.

The eldest prince's companion is the fifteen-year-old Liu Tai, the second son of the prince of Liguo, who is an unusually calm and silent character, and he doesn't seem to be disappointed or depressed about being sent to read as the eldest prince's companion, but calmly follows the eldest prince's side.

In the blink of an eye, I looked left and right, and there was only one Fu Xuechen left in the courtyard, and even a few little girls entered the school.

These six princes! Could it be that he is the kind of scumbag who skips class? On the first day of school, you have to be late?!

Fu Xuechen's eyes widened, and he was just about to get angry, when he saw the sixth prince Yu Zuo striding into the courtyard as if he was racing, and he was chasing a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little eunuch behind his buttocks, shouting vigorously "Your Highness be careful of your step".

"I've seen ......"

Fu Xuechen stepped forward, and just as he was about to salute, the six princes waved their hands: "It's almost free!" Hurry up and follow me in. ”

Scold! You know you're going to be late, huh? Fu Xuechen scolded and waited for the six princes to pass by her, before she hurriedly turned around and followed him.

Maybe it will be expanded in the future when there are more princes and grandchildren, but the current study hall is not large, and it is divided into front and back by a translucent large screen.

In front of the screen, the podium facing Mr. is divided into five rows of two columns of tables, three aisles, and two tables and two wooden chairs are placed in each row, a total of only 20 seats.

The seats behind the screen are also divided into two columns, but there are only two rows, a total of eight seats, like a small private room, which does not affect the princess and her companions to listen to the class, but also takes into account the privacy that girls should have, and even they have another back door when entering and leaving Mingde Hall, which makes Fu Xuechen secretly envious.

The four princes who came in earlier had already chosen their own seats according to their respective age orders, among which the eldest prince and his companion occupied the front row of seats, the fourth prince and the fifth prince chose the second row of seats on the left and right, and the seventh prince occupied the third row of seats in the middle.

The six princes swept over at a glance, and without hesitation, they chose the seats outside the third row, and sat right behind the four princes.

Fu Xuechen didn't have a chance to deal with the six princes first, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Master Ji Zeji, a scholar of Dongge University, and Master Li Tao, a bachelor of Hanlin Attendant, outside the window, with their hands behind their backs, pacing slowly together, and walking into the study hall with the six princes only before and after.
