Chapter 157: Mixed Reputation
The eldest princess found her spiritual pillar and happily followed Yu Zizhen every day, as if she could give birth to a lot of courage and security out of thin air as long as she did so.
The second prince felt the fatherly love and brotherhood that he had almost never had the opportunity to feel before, and his studies gradually improved because of the eldest prince and Yu Zizhen, not only the emperor would occasionally praise and reward the second prince, but the queen Xiao Lu's mood was smooth, and her attitude towards the second prince also improved slightly.
The second prince was beaten and scolded less, and his mood naturally gradually improved, plus because of the change in Xiao Lu's attitude, his palace people did not dare to sneak in food, clothing, and housing to deduct his inherent share, he soon became like a little seedling moistened by soil and rain, and he became more and more energetic day by day.
The most gratifying thing for the eldest prince and His Majesty the Emperor is that the weak temperament of the second prince has gradually improved unconsciously, although he still doesn't dare to talk back to Xiao Lu in person, but he already has the courage to refute Xiao Lu after leaving Xiao Lu and Xiao Lu's eyeliner.
Especially every time Xiao Lu slandered the eldest prince, as long as he had the opportunity to be alone, he would inevitably refute them one by one.
This cowardly and courageous appearance made Yu Zizhen have a better impression of him.
She quietly told the eldest prince about this, and the eldest prince was moved, but then when only the two brothers were alone, she quietly told the second prince not to do this again.
In his words, "There is no real no-man's land in this palace, you are in a difficult situation, and the words 'be cautious in words and deeds' must be kept in mind at all times." ”
The second prince knew that the eldest prince really wanted him to have a good life, so he told him with such a serious face, this warmth and kindness made the second prince suddenly remember all the previous grievances and sadness, he didn't hold back, hugged the eldest prince and cried silently.
He didn't dare to cry, because he knew that the eldest prince, like him, lived under the surveillance of others almost all the time, and he was afraid that his cry would attract those with bad intentions.
If he couldn't help it, he didn't want to shed tears in the emperor's womb.
The eldest prince was hugged by his legs coldly, and almost subconsciously turned his wheelchair and retreated to the rear, but before he could make a move, the tears on the second prince's face had already broken into his field of vision without warning.
The eldest prince's hand paused for a moment, and finally moved from the wheelchair to the second prince's small shoulder. He patted his half-brother on the shoulder, "Okay, don't cry, don't let people see that you don't look right." ”
It's not that he's cruel to children, it's that they can't do anything or not according to their own will.
The second prince obviously also knows how to measure himself, he didn't dare to wipe his tears, took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions, controlled the tears from flowing out, he sat quietly for a while, carefully using a handkerchief to gently absorb the water marks on his face.
Yu Zizhen, who was sitting outside to let them out, expressed his helplessness, because he had completely forgotten that he was Wu Mingyu, who was the companion of the second prince, and came to pester her again.
The other party has become more and more uninteresting recently, although he still doesn't dare to come and talk to her when she is endorsing, but he has begun to deliberately make noise.
During the period when the second prince and the eldest princess had their own place, Yu Zizhen also gained a lot.
In terms of talents, in the primary school she set up in the palace, the children in it were all steadily rising under the guidance of Jiang Yunshan without a trace.
and Wen Xiaoman, the Lu family, etc., who she recruited and scattered one after another, have also gained a firm foothold in their destinations. The powerful brainwashing package produced by the system that Yu Zizhen handed over to them has also been used by them for the first time, and most of those who have received their favor will gradually return to Yu Zizhen under their guidance day after day.
In terms of money, the money that Wen Xiaoman and others earned for her in business, the money she received from Jijia Xiangpu, her annual salary and the rewards issued by the palace during the New Year's holidays were all just small heads, and the big heads were exchanged for her diligent thief.
As a mysterious thief who specializes in robbing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and by the way, she has relied on her own strength to successfully become a terrifying figure that every corrupt official in Beijing is afraid and hates.
If she has a lot of little secrets that should not be publicized in these two aspects, then in terms of improving her own ability, Yu Zizhen doesn't mind others knowing how hard she works.
Reading, martial arts, medicine, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, learning the language of Fanbang, learning horses, raising horses, riding horses, learning to bow and throw pots, learning the dialects of various places, learning to plant flowers, brewing and roasting tea, learning to carve, paper and dyeing, and learning to make lanterns and kites
Except for "reading", piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, which she either deliberately disguises or really has no talent, there is nothing else she does not learn if she has a little interest, and there is nothing she can't learn well.
Even learning flattery with the little eunuch next to the big eunuch, she can learn and sell it now, and learn it vividly.
She made rapid progress, and she worked extremely hard, so that there were always friends who couldn't help wailing when she quickly went from rusty to skilled, from skilled to proficient, and then crushed everyone with strength, "Let's just play, are you going to be so windy?" ”
Volume this word, they still learned it from Yu Zizhen.
Of course, Yu Zizhen's "volume", because she deliberately disguised herself as not good at reading, and because she really didn't have any talent in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, it was a pity that she didn't gain much praise and envy.
Coupled with her bizarre behavior and shocking speeches from time to time, she has always had a mixed reputation in the elite circle in the capital.
As for what good things she has done
She once asked the imperial doctor if she could sew up the skin of a person with serious trauma, and she was secretly said by many people to be "the reincarnation of evil spirits".
And she is still like a second ancestor who will only lose, she is curious about everything, she wants to try everything, and the courtyard in the house is occupied by her one after another for various purposes, and then she quickly gives up halfway, outsiders don't know that she is actually taking the opportunity to search for talents from all walks of life who are regarded as lowly people by the elite class, so her reputation for not doing business has been widely spread.
What makes those guys who don't have good intentions for her speechless is that she is obviously so curious, and she has lost in strange places, but every time they want to lead her not to learn well, she is always slippery like a loach.
