Chapter 117: Flower Viewing Party

The next day, Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen followed Xie to the palace when they were invited, only to find that the flower viewing party held by Xie Guifei was quite grand, and it was not only their Fu family daughters who were invited.

In addition to them, there are also Xie Guifei's maiden family, the Xie family of the Ministry of Works, the Hou Guan family of Zhenxi and so on.

Just the wives of each family can make two tables of mahjong, not to mention that each family has at least one young girl, the older and the older are together, the younger and the younger are together, and the two are not lively.

Fu Xuechen was amused to find that even Princess Zhiling came to join in the fun.

"I didn't skip class! The concubine was very good to me, and as soon as I told my mother, my mother agreed to bring me with me. Princess Zhiling explained seriously.

"Okay, okay, I see, no one said you skipped class?" Fu Xuechen was actually very happy.

Almost all of the "big" girls who came to this flower-viewing party were over fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was the youngest, and after those "big" girls greeted her, they didn't pay much attention to her, and if there was no Princess Zhiling, she would have to die of boredom.

May is the time when peonies, peonies, yueji, roses, pomegranates and other flowers are in full bloom, and these beautiful flowers are everywhere inside and outside Yanning Palace.

After the ladies finished appreciating the flowers, they accompanied Xie Guifei to laugh and chat in the house, drink tea and open the game. Some of the young ladies accompanied their wives in the house, while others went on a tour among the flowers in the courtyard outside.

Only Fu Xuechen and Princess Zhiling were mavericks, teasing the cat brought by Princess Zhiling on a grass.

"Sister Xuechen, I heard that you are learning calligraphy and painting from Mr. Zhu Jiuniang, and learning guzheng from the apprentices of the Yan family, is it true?" Princess Zhiling asked curiously.

"yes, the tuition is too high." Fu Xuechen was in pain for his mother.

Princess Zhiling was very excited: "I'm also learning to paint with Mr. Zhu, so aren't we sisters?" ”

Fu Xuechen teased her: "Really? I'm just getting started! Then I should call you Senior Sister! ”

"Giggles......" Princess Zhiling smiled so unhappily: "When I saw your brother Fu Yuchen before, I thought that he was so good-looking, so as his twin sister, Sister Xuechen, your appearance must not be bad!" I was not mistaken! But Sister Xuechen, your behavior is much more interesting than your brother! ”

Fu Xuechen was a little sweaty, but he didn't expect Princess Zhiling to be a face control at a young age, and to make friends first to look at her face.

"It's a pity that my current painting skills are still lacking, and I am barely a painter." Princess Zhiling looked at Fu Xuechen carefully with an appreciative gaze, and said regretfully: "Otherwise, I must draw my sister's beauty before I am willing!" ”

Fu Xuechen also asked her curiously: "Then what has Your Highness learned to draw?" ”

"A lot!" Princess Zhiling was a little complacent: "I started to learn to draw when I was seven years old because I liked it, and now I can paint many kinds of flowers!" Lotus, plum blossom, epiphany, etc., as well as birds, cranes, magpies, swallows, etc. ”

"Do you want to see it?" Princess Zhiling suddenly said.

Fu Xuechen looked at her with a look of asking for praise, and smiled: "Yes!" If you can, why not watch it? ”

"Then sister, go to my room and sit down!" Princess Zhiling was overjoyed, and sent the palace maid around her to the house to tell her mother, but she couldn't wait to pick up the cat and lead Fu Xuechen back to the Xiuxiu Palace where Concubine Yi was located.

Concubine Yi, the lord of the palace, was accompanying Concubine Xie at the moment, Fu Xuechen avoided the trouble of visiting, and directly followed Princess Zhiling into the side hall of the Xiu Palace where she was.

Princess Zhiling quickly took out a large number of picture scrolls and put them on the table, these are the old works that she was satisfied with and left, and those who were not satisfied had already been thrown away and burned.

Fu Xuechen found that she also marked the year, month and day on the painting scroll, so she opened it one by one in order from front to back and appreciated it, she also took an art interest class in her previous life, and the appreciation level was not bad, and she also liked to appreciate the paintings.

Not to mention, painting this kind of thing, look at talent not look at age, although Princess Zhiling's age is not big, she is very talented in painting, her paintings are full of childish aura, painting flowers and flowers are simple, painting birds and birds are cute, it is the ink landscape that also paints her with a misty aura.

Fu Xuechen did not hesitate to praise, and all kinds of appreciation and praise did not go straight out like money.

In her opinion, Princess Zhiling is simply the kind of future generation who was born in a big painter's family, who was personally guided by a master when she was a child, and who was a darling of the painting world with her own talent and enough, and who could participate in international painting competitions and win awards when she was a child.

Princess Zhiling was excited and shy by her praise, the key is that others praise her just to pat her on the back, and she just brags it out if she doesn't understand anything, Fu Xuechen praises her, but she can get to the point in every sentence and tickle her itch.

It's not easy! It shows that Fu Xuechen really understands her paintings, where the paintings are wonderful, where there are some pity, all of them have not been hidden from her eyes, and she has been appreciated by a young lady of a similar age, Princess Zhiling only feels happier than being praised by her husband.

"Sister Xuechen, which one do you like? If you like it, I'll give it to you! Princess Zhiling generously promised to give away her paintings, and specially asked people to prepare pen and ink to leave a stamp for Fu Xuechen.

"Then I thank Your Highness! Then ...... This one, right? ”

Fu Xuechen was also pleased, and unceremoniously picked a picture of a cat fluttering butterflies under a begonia flower, which has both beautiful flowers and butterflies, and a cat full of childish aura, with interesting composition and rich content.

"My sister is so good at picking!" Princess Zhiling inhaled secretly, this painting from her conception to inspiration, and then to the detailed tracing and molding, it took her a full ten days of hard work!

However, with the painting skills in hand, she can create new ones at any time with similar paintings, so Princess Zhiling has nothing to hesitate, so she really took the pen and used the seal, and gave this painting to Fu Xuechen.

When the painting he liked arrived, Fu Xuechen was also happy, and as soon as he fished it out to the side with both hands, he took Princess Zhiling in his arms and hugged her excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness!" You're so cute! ”

Princess Zhiling has not been intimately embraced by anyone other than the mother, the imperial grandmother and the grandmother like this, so she was slightly startled at first, then "giggled", took the opportunity to hug back, and took a sip of the body fragrance on the other party.

The grandmothers and palace maids in the palace all looked at each other, and those who dared to take the initiative to hug the princess in such a move were the first time they had met for the first time, but looking at the intimacy of the two, it seemed that it was not a bad thing?

Fu Xuechen quickly let go of Princess Zhiling and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will also give the princess a painting of mine!" ”

"Okay!" Princess Zhiling snickered in her heart, Fu Xuechen had just started to learn painting from Mr. Zhu, what kind of good paintings can a beginner draw? But looking at the other party's confident appearance, she still smiled and responded.

Fu Xuechen glanced at her, knowing that she didn't expect anything from herself, and the verbal promise was just a gesture of goodwill, hum! She has indeed just learned Chinese painting, but she also learned sketching, comics and watercolor painting in her previous life! Wait!

The two chatted in the house for a few more words, and then left the Xiu Palace together to return to the flower viewing party.

"Sister Xuechen, since my sixth brother and your brother left Mingde Hall, I feel that the class is not fun anymore!" Princess Zhiling chatted: "Recently, my fourth brother is planning to go to my father to expand the number of companions, you say, if I also ask my father, is it possible to let my sister and you also come to be my companion?" ”

Well? Is the number of Mingde Hall companions going to expand? That's right, too! The previous prince's companion only picked so many people, it is estimated that Emperor Yuan An has just established the country, and various systems have not yet been perfected for the time being, so if the princes feel that there are too few companions and want to add a few more companion seats, Emperor Yuan An may really be able to agree after thinking about it.

But when the princess's companion? became classmates with Fu Yuchen, and both brothers and sisters went to the palace to study?

Don't want that, right? I feel that the things taught by Master Mingdetang are really boring to learn, so it is better to follow the female gentlemen to learn calligraphy, painting, embroidery, and zither?

How flexible Fu Xuechen's brain is! immediately smiled and said: "If I can read to Her Royal Highness the Princess, then I can't ask for it!" However, if I also study with His Highness in Mingde Hall, I will become classmates with my brother, which is not good! ”

"Huh? What does Sister Xuechen mean? Princess Zhiling didn't understand.

Fu Xuechen said: "The gentlemen of Mingdetang are all bachelors of the court, and they teach His Royal Highness the knowledge of the prince, all of them are aimed at making His Highness understand the ancient and modern truths, understand the people's sufferings, and know how to govern the fiefdoms. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman, according to the rules, even if you have a fief in the future, you can only enjoy the food of the fiefdom, and you can't personally manage the domain, so what are you doing with those things that Your Highness is learning from Anbang to govern the country?"

"Why don't Your Highness write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to set up a separate girls' school, just like Guozixue, to recruit daughters from civil and military officials like Cui Xiaoyue and me, and invite female gentlemen to teach us Qiqin calligraphy and painting, needlework, cooking and other homework suitable for girls?"

"When the time comes, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you don't have to grieve yourself to attend the same class with His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be more female classmates who are about the same age as His Royal Highness to go to school together and learn the courses you like, wouldn't it be better?"

Fu Xuechen actually had the idea of establishing a girls' school in the Darong Empire in this time and space, and today he just proposed it to Princess Zhiling, if it works, wouldn't it be good to let the princess go to Emperor Yuan'an to give it a try?

Princess Zhiling was dumbfounded, she was stupid to call Fu Xuechen's big open brain!

can carefully follow Fu Xuechen's train of thought to think about it, but the more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes-that's right! Since the father did not object, and even supported his own daughter, to go to school and listen to the lessons with his brothers, why couldn't he ask the father to simply set up a separate girls' school, follow the Guozixue system, and accept girls exclusively to teach them homework suitable for girls?

How simple it is for Fu Xuechen, who has the vision of later generations, to incite an ancients with a narrow vision! Seeing Princess Zhiling's heart-warming appearance, she chuckled, and added fuel and vinegar to describe the benefits of the girls' school during the Republic of China to the other party.

What is not the restraint of male and female defense, the big guys compete in classmates, you can play with a few friends with a good temperament every day, colorful extracurricular activities, graduation through the assessment of different majors, different levels of certificates, etc., etc., Princess Zhiling is about to cry!

Next, during the whole flower viewing party, Princess Zhiling didn't have the heart to play, so she only pulled Fu Xuechen and the two of them to hide in the shade of the flowers, chirping and chatting about the location and establishment of the girls' school, the recruitment and treatment of female gentlemen, the curriculum of female students, and the rules and regulations of the girls' school.

The young girls who were brought to the flower viewing party by the elders of the family just didn't like to take care of Fu Xuechen, a "child" who was several years younger than them, and they were still willing to get close to Princess Zhiling, who was also a child.

However, Princess Zhiling was discussing the establishment of the girls' school with Fu Xuechen, and she didn't want the news to leak out before that, so she ordered the palace maids around her to block anyone from approaching for her, so that those "big" girls could only sigh with admiration.

The two little girls put their heads together and kept talking, even Concubine Xie and Concubine Yi in the room noticed it, they were very surprised, I don't know where these two came from to say so much, they have been talking for a long time, right?

Concubine Yi saw the scroll of the painting in Fu Xuechen's hand, called her personal grandmother to ask, and only then did she know that her daughter had given the little girl of the Fu family a proud work, and she couldn't help but smile dumbly.

"Zhiling is not casual about her paintings, all the dissatisfied ones are burned, only the satisfactory ones are kept, except for giving them to the elders in the palace as birthday gifts, I am still the first time I have seen her willing to give her paintings to others!"

Concubine Yi still couldn't help but gossip with Concubine Xie: "The friendship between these two girls is really extraordinary!" I don't think even Zhiling and the two companions around her have never seen such a relationship? It's really a bit of an oddity. ”

Concubine Xie regretted it: "It's a pity that the little girl of the Fu family has a dragon and phoenix brother, who has been selected as the companion of my family's six sons, and it is unlikely that the saint will agree to the Fu family to come out at the same time to accompany the prince and the princess, otherwise this little girl of the Fu family would also have the opportunity to be selected as the princess's companion." ”

Concubine Yi thought about it, shook her head and smiled: "It's okay!" If these two people were really in Mingde Hall together, there would be so many things to say when they got together like today, maybe Zhiling's homework would be delayed! ”

After staying at Concubine Xie's side for dinner, Concubine Yi said goodbye and led Princess Zhiling back to Xiu Palace.

But only halfway through, Princess Zhiling proposed to go to the prince's house to visit the fourth brother who was injured two days ago.

Concubine Yi didn't think much about it: "It's okay!" You have always had a better relationship with the Fourth Highness than other Highnesses, and it is also appropriate to visit him, the mother has some good ginseng here, you can take a box! ”

"Thank you, Princess! Then I'm going to see the fourth brother! ”

Princess Zhiling is very happy, and she won't go back to Xiu Palace, ginseng or something, Concubine Yi will find out when she returns to the palace and let the steward eunuch around her send her to the prince's office in the name of Princess Zhiling.
