Chapter 7: The First Encounter with the Three Kings (I)

The next morning, Mingda came to the dormitory where I was staying. said that it was a sleeping palace, but in fact, it was just a very ordinary room in Daxing Palace.

At this time, I had just gotten up, and Mama Xiao, who was in charge of my daily life, was serving me to dress and wash. Yesterday I saw Mingda's beautiful double screw bun, so I clamored for Mama Xiao to help me comb the same hairstyle.

Mama Siu quickly helped me apply shavings water carefully and evenly to my hair, and then skillfully pulled my hair up.

"Jingjing, I have already told my father to let you be my companion. Go, accompany me to the Taishi. Mingda said cheerfully.

"Mingda, I haven't finished freshening up yet! Also, what are you taking me to the Master for what? I looked through the bronze mirror at Mingda, who was standing beside me.

At this time, Mama Xiao had already inserted the colorful butterfly golden hairpin I usually wore into the bun, and then embellished my hair with pink jade peach blossoms. Then Mama helped me simply apply gouache and rouge to my face, and changed into a pink Luo skirt that matched the pink jade peach blossom and a silk embroidered with colorful peach blossoms.

Mingda waited patiently for me on the side, answering my question: "Of course, when I go to Taishi, I listen to Taishi's lectures!" ”

"Ahh I couldn't help but scream. Growing up, I was a daughter forgotten by my father, and no one ever cared about what I had to learn in this life. Up to now, I have only memorized the "Book of Songs" and "Thousand Character Text" under the education of Mama Xiao, but the meaning of every word and sentence in this is not what Mama Xiao has the ability to teach me.

Now Mingda said that he would take me to the Taishi to be taught, so how could I not be nervous?

"Jingjing, you don't have to be embarrassed. Taishi will formulate an exclusive curriculum for each of us according to the actual situation of each of us. Don't worry, the Taishi will vary from person to person and teach according to aptitude. Mingda saw my uneasiness and worry, and comforted. She is really as delicate as a hair and gentle as water.

Seeing that I had finished freshening up, Mingda couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled me out and walked out, regardless of whether I had breakfast or not, because the time for the Taishi's lecture was coming soon.

In order to be in a hurry, Mingda did not take a sedan chair, but dragged me all the way, shuttled between various palaces, and finally arrived at Chongwen Hall before the Taishi.

Before that, I had never set foot in the East Palace, let alone been able to enter the Chongwen Hall, which was specially used for the study of the crown prince Chengqian and other princes and princesses who were valued by my father.

I followed Mingda with trepidation. She was obviously familiar with the place.

As soon as you step into the Chongwen Museum, you are greeted by the strong smell of books and the fresh smell of ink, followed by rows of bookshelves and neatly arranged scrolls. The Chongwen Pavilion is very quiet, except for the sound of turning books, there is no other sound that is incompatible with the atmosphere.

Mingda pulled me and quietly walked around the two desks in the middle of the Chongwen Pavilion, which were supposed to belong to the Taishi or Taifu and the crown prince, and walked to the row of seats on the left-hand side. Mingda walked to one of the seats in the first row, put his mouth to my ear and whispered, "This was Sister Li's seat. Now that she's married and doesn't come here anymore, you can just sit here. I sat next to me. With that, she walked gently to the seat next to her and sat down.

Her breath was like an orchid, which tickled my ears, and it was extremely comfortable, and it made me feel a little fluttery in this new environment. It wasn't until Mingda sat down in his seat and stretched out his hand to pull my silk that I came to my senses and sat down in a hurry. But in my panic, I bumped into the chair, making a sound that seemed strange in the silence.
