"Nonsense, try it." Queen Wang personally picked the silver lotus flowers on her ears and replaced them with this pair.

"It's really suitable, right?" Queen Wang said, and took out a pair of lotus ones and a pair of gourd ones and gave them to her: "These are all the ones I have worn. The ones I will give you when you get married are the ones saved by the palace.

"

Wang Zhi was very moved in her heart. She also felt sorry for the queen. If she had a child of her own, regardless of gender, she would not have to love a niece so much.

Although they are related by blood, they are not very close after all.

She thought that no matter what happens in the future, I will protect her aunt well.

Early the next morning, Xue Shaochong was disliked by his master again.

The master is also used to it, and the second prince is either unintelligent or not very caring. He is said to be a fool.

Sighing: "Think about it carefully. The second prince will get married next year and won't come to study. It's just that you are a prince and a prince, and you will assist His Majesty in the future. How can you be so dissolute?"

"Yes." Xue Shaochong's attitude was pretty good.

After class, Wang Zhi looked at him and smiled. Xue Shaochong pursed his lips: "Laughing at me?"

Wang Zhi shook his head.

"I'm hungry." Xue Shaochong's words didn't mean anything else, just that he was hungry.

Before Wang Zhi said anything, he said: "Go to my palace to eat."

He now lives in Chang'an Palace, which is not far from Xianju Palace.

It's not like Wang Zhi has never been there before, but he has never had a meal in his palace.

Now that she was invited, it was hard for her to refuse.

Just ask: "Just the two of us?"

Nowadays, it is not popular to avoid suspicion. Just look at such an old prince and still live in the harem.

Just don't avoid suspicion, but it will be embarrassing.

Xue Shaochong nodded and didn't explain.

Wang Zhi had no choice but to follow.

Xue Shaochong didn't like to talk, but the maids and officials in his palace were not like that.

They all love to talk and laugh. When they meet Wang Zhi, they all smile and say hello.

I was very happy to hear that the princess wanted to have a meal here.

The leading palace man, Fei Jishi, and the leading palace maid, Xiantao'er, were both very enthusiastic.

"The servants will prepare the meal right now, and the girl will sit and talk with the second prince."

The decoration in Xue Shaochong's palace is the same as that of other princes, except that there are some additional elements. For example, some animal skins and the like.

But not much. After all, he came to the Central Plains at such a young age, and he didn't have much attachment to the culture of Xiliang.

The third prince and the fourth prince who lived here came back a step later and came to say hello.

The biological mother of the third prince is Concubine Cui, and the biological mother of the fourth prince is Concubine Yang.

The third prince is nine years old this year and already looks like a young man. The fourth prince is six years old and is still young. He just moved here this year.

The two of them have always kept a distance from their second brother. Not that they have any objections. Although the princes are bound to compete for the throne, they are still young. The main reason for keeping a distance is that they cannot communicate.

After all, Xue Shaochong seems to be hard-spoken and indifferent. He easily freezes up when talking to him. It is true that not everyone can get along with him.

The group of friends who grew up together have understood it over time, but those younger than him cannot understand it.

The two princes came here mainly to pay their respects to Wang Zhi.

Even though they are the princes, Wang Zhi definitely has status in the palace.

"It's rare for Sister Jiaojiao to come to our place."

They also live in Chang'an Hall and are considered landlords, so they come to pay their respects.

"Yes, there are indeed few people here. The third prince and the fourth prince have just finished school, right? It's a bit hot today and you are sweating? Change your clothes quickly, don't catch the cold later." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"Yes, let's go back then." The third prince looked at the fourth prince with a smile.

The fourth prince nodded: "I'm back."

The two men saluted Xue Shaochong again: "Second brother, let's go."

Xue Shaochong just nodded.

After all, the emperor was old enough, so he later added these children. Next, Xu Zhaorong gave birth to the third princess, but she was only four years old and was not in good health, so she rarely came out.

In recent years, there have been no children in the harem.

Wang Zhi was admiring a painting on the wall, painted by a not-so-famous painter in the past.

Xue Shaochong suddenly asked: "Did the Queen Mother beat you?"

Wang Zhi groaned and turned around: "My aunt never hits me."

"What's wrong with your neck?" Xue Shaochong asked with calm eyes.

Wang Zhi was confused: "Is nothing wrong?" She touched her neck in confusion.

Qingque came over to take a look, and there was indeed a red mark on the left side of her neck. I didn't know it, but it felt a little itchy when I touched it.

"Is it scratched on this dress? This one is new and the collar is a little stiff."

It is right at the junction of the neck and the collarbone. It cannot be seen when the clothes are covering it. Wang Zhi touched the painting just now and pulled it out when he put down his arm.

Wang Zhi lowered his head and looked: "Why is this dress made of silver thread?"

Qingque nodded: "Yes. Just change it when you get back."

Xue Shaochong had nothing to say this time. He just thought that she was too delicate. Clothes made of silver thread would scratch her skin. But is this considered a beauty?

I also remember that when I was a child in Xiliang, my nanny raised a pot of flowers. I don’t even remember what kind of flower it was, but I remember that it bloomed pink.

The wet nurse always said that this flower is too delicate and will not bloom if it cannot be protected. If it is not watered, it will wither, and if it is watered too much, the roots will rot. The leaves will turn yellow when exposed to the sun, and will wilt if not exposed to the sun.

So does Wang Zhi.

With this understanding, Xue Shaochong felt that Wang Zhi was very squeamish again while eating.

She doesn't eat much, and she eats very carefully.

Eating a piece of fish means taking so many bites and chewing so many times. It is quiet and delicious.

During the meal, Xue Shaochong was so amused and happy that he even ate an extra bowl.

But Wang Zhi was so tired from eating that she didn't pay attention in the first half, but in the second half she discovered that this man was staring at her.

After finally finishing the meal and serving tea, Wang Zhi asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Um."

Wang Zhi...

Forget it, don’t ask anymore.

After eating and drinking, I rested in his palace for a while, then got up and returned to Xianju Palace.

As soon as I got back, I changed my clothes. As soon as I changed, I saw Fei Jishi coming, holding a box of ointment: "This is the vitality ointment. You can apply it on it. You can use it on any injury in the future, but if you see blood, you can use it."

It can’t be used anymore because it might leave scars.”

Wang Zhi was amused: "Isn't it necessary to use it because I have to twist it? My clothes are just worn out, so I won't need anything tomorrow."

"It's rare for our second prince to have a cure, so just use it. The imperial doctor also said it can be used." Fei Jishi said seriously.

Wang Zhi had no choice but to accept it: "Go back and tell your second prince that I will definitely use it."

"Yes." Fei Jishi left with satisfaction.

Sometimes, assimilation is really the general trend. Just like the slaves around Xue Shaochong, most of them are from the Central Plains.

Naturally, they will be biased towards the Central Plains people.

Even Fei Jishi doesn't like Xiliangyue.

For Xue Shaochong, he has not yet understood the relationship between men and women, but he has a basic aesthetic appreciation. That is Wang Zhi.

And he didn't understand, but he understood that Wang Zhi was the fiancée, and other fiancées had a template, such as sewing or something. He also gave his fiancée something, and he cared about it. He thought this was standard.

This is probably the advantage of childhood sweethearts.
