It was already after the beginning of winter when I joined the East Palace.

The first day of the lunar month is an auspicious day of the zodiac.

Bai Song took the emperor's holy decree and will carry out the prince's apprenticeship ceremony in the East Palace at three o'clock today.

For today, Bai Song has been preparing for a long time.

I also know that there are many dangers in the East Palace, so the ladies at home also attach great importance to it.

From hair accessories to clothing, to etiquette, everyone repeatedly told Bai Song and warned Bai Song not to make mistakes.

It wasn't early, Bai Song packed up and got into the carriage to the East Palace.

……

In the East Palace, the prince was still asleep.

The palace maid who was waiting was a little anxious.

Today is the apprenticeship ceremony, and it is also an extremely important thing for the prince.

If the prince is late, it is disrespectful to the teacher, and he will have to be told if it is passed out.

is known by the emperor, and the emperor must be unhappy.

But this prince is disrespectful by nature, and if he is woken up, he will always be furious.

Several palace maids discussed with each other, and when they didn't know what to do, they saw Princess Danyang coming, and they were busy reporting it.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's been a quarter of an hour, and there are still two quarters of an hour to go to the apprenticeship, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still sleeping, if the hour is delayed, what can I do?"

Princess Danyang looked good today, she did not succeed in preventing an outsider from entering the East Palace that belonged to her, but she did not perceive the slightest displeasure from her face.

"It's just such a trivial matter, are you going to disturb the palace?"

The palace maids were anxious, but they didn't dare to say more, so they retreated, preparing to go in directly to wake up the prince.

"Slow ......down," Princess Danyang spoke, "The prince played too late yesterday, and let him sleep if he wants to sleep." ”

"But......" The palace maid was a little worried.

"Huh?" Princess Danyang sighed lightly, and the palace maids hurriedly retreated, not daring to say any more.

The East Palace is very large, except for the Imperial Palace, I am afraid that there is no bigger palace in Chang'an City.

The first time Bai Song came, he wandered around for a long time, and he got lost, he could have arrived in a quarter of an hour, but he wasted an extra quarter of an hour.

From the moment he stepped into the East Palace, Bai Song felt the attitude of the East Palace.

There is not even a one to lead the way, and it is completely non-existent as Bai Song.

No one told Bai Song where he couldn't go, as long as Bai Song arrived, they were all respectful, Bai Song could go wherever he wanted, and no one would stop him.

After asking several people in a row, I finally found the agreed inner garden under the library.

The book pavilion is the classroom for teaching in the future, and in addition to the prince, there are several royal children.

All of them were about 10 years old.

Thinking of this, Bai Song only felt that his head was as big as a fight.

It's hard to entangle any of the royal children, let alone a dozen?

It must be more tricky to deal with these children than to deal with those ministers.

These little kids must be some kind of kids, and they are very difficult.

A little ruthless, I'm afraid that the parents behind it will pull their pigtails to sue the emperor.

Therefore, Bai Song was quite apprehensive when he came to the East Palace.

But when I got to the book pavilion, I saw more than a dozen little princes and little county lords, but it was beyond Bai Song's expectations.

These children are very quiet, and there are more than a dozen small desks, all of which sit upright, and they are not noisy at all.

Only after seeing Bai Song arrive, it is estimated that Bai Song is too young, and many people have surprise in their eyes, and then some doubts, and even some disdain, and then they will call each other and look at each other, and occasionally have some small discussions.

There was an elderly father-in-law standing next to the study pavilion, and when he heard the voices of the little masters, he raised his voice and coughed: "Ahem! ”

A bunch of little kids were quiet again.

Bai Song went to the main seat below the study pavilion and sat down, put away the four books and five classics he had brought with him, and glanced down blankly, but he didn't see Li Chengqian.

The father-in-law stepped forward to Bai Song's ear and whispered, "Mr. Bai, the prince will come soon, you wait a little." ”

Bai Song looked at the sky and asked, "When is it?" ”

"Forehead......," the father-in-law was a little embarrassed with a little embarrassment, "It's already three o'clock." ”

Bai Song didn't say anything, just sat honestly and didn't show any displeasure.

Seeing Bai Song's face, his father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

If the student is late for the apprenticeship ceremony, the teacher will leave angrily.

Fortunately, the young gentleman had a good temper and did not have any emotions.

Bai Song didn't have this kind of consciousness at all, on the contrary, he felt that with the dignity of the prince, he could understand what he did, but he was late, just wait for a while.

But Bai Song completely underestimated how long it would be in his father-in-law's mouth.

Seeing that the hour was more than halfway through, the prince still didn't have a shadow.

The students below were a little impatient, and they all sat a little writhing, obviously a little tired.

"How much longer?" Bai Song asked.

The father-in-law still had the same embarrassed look: "This ......"

"Send someone to see what the hell is going on and bring a message back."

A palace maid received the order and turned around to go to the prince.

At this time, a familiar voice came: "No need to look for it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince played for a long time yesterday and slept late, so what does it matter if Mr. Bai asks the Prince to rest for a while?" ”

When Bai Song saw the other party, he frowned slightly, got up and saluted: "I've seen Princess Danyang." ”

"Mr. Bai is the prince's gentleman, so there is no need to be polite with the palace. Mr. is a noble person, it stands to reason that everyone in the East Palace should salute you when they see you. ”

"The apprenticeship has not yet been completed, and the etiquette that should be there must be is indispensable."

Bai Song said it easily, but he inadvertently told Princess Danyang that as long as the apprenticeship is completed, Lao Tzu will not be polite to you.

There is also to tell Princess Danyang that it is useless to hide the prince like this, and it is useless not to let the prince come, will you wait soon, and it will be no problem to wait for as long as you want.

Princess Danyang was obviously a little unhappy, raised her eyebrows, and smiled: "Mr. Bai is really generous, the student was late on the first day, and he can still sit here without changing his face." ”

"People have three urgencies, I believe that the prince has his own hardships, and if Mr. waits for a while and loses his temper, won't it weaken Mr.'s bearing?"

"Three urgent? Giggling......" Princess Danyang laughed coquettishly, "Mr. Bai is afraid that he doesn't know what happened to the prince last night and slept late, right?" ”

"What?"

"Mr. Bai should know that now the prince is in his youth, obsessed with the affairs of men and women, and last night he had a long conversation with four or five little palace maids in the room, laughing and playing, so that his body was tired and he didn't wake up for a long time, such a student, is Mr. Bai confident that he can teach well?"

Princess Danyang's voice was not small, and she did not hide it at all, ignoring the dozen or so little princes and county lords present.

In ancient times, children developed early and were open-minded early, and the children of this kind of royal relatives were often curious about men and women when they were about ten years old.

Even women have heard of some of them.

Princess Danyang is an elder, and saying this in front of a group of juniors made a group of children agitated, each calling their eyes, and looking very interested.

The little girls were all blushing, their heads bowed, and they were so ashamed that they were about to squeeze out the water.
