Although Cui Zhiming was nervous, he memorized it smoothly and won a round of applause.
The two children were encouraged, as if they were addicted. They started reciting poems and books back and forth, and the crisp sound of books filled their ears, floating inside and outside the carriage.
Cui Weizhen was outside the car, his eyebrows raised.
Officials who were traveling with him on the road couldn't help but compliment him when they heard the sound of reading coming from inside: "Uncle Jing Ning teaches well and makes the young master smart and eager to learn. We are really envious of him."
Cui Weizhen couldn't hide the smile on his face, and held hands with his colleagues: "No, no, Quanzi can only read a few words, not as good as Mr. Ling."
…
After leaving the city, not far away is Huangzhuang.
This imperial palace is spacious and gorgeous, with complete functions. Whenever the royal family holds some large-scale sports activities, they like to set it up here. After all, not everyone can hold banquets here. This is a manifestation of favor.
Princess Wei is the legitimate son and daughter-in-law, with a distinguished status. The eunuch in charge of the imperial palace can not sell the face of other clan members, but the Prince of Wei's palace cannot. Not only that, but they must serve her well with all their heart.
The snow on Zhuangqian Avenue has long been cleared away, and there is no sign of ice. It can be seen that it has been sprinkled with salt water. There are neatly dressed servants in front of the door to help visitors park their cars.
There were many guests, but no commotion occurred.
The supervisor's attentiveness is evident.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed secretly, turned around and hugged her son down: "Wangzi, we are here."
Cui Zhiduan's short legs had just landed on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the imperial village in front of him. He couldn't help but open his mouth in wonder: "It's so tall! Mom, it's bigger than our village!"
Isn't it? This imperial mansion occupies a vast area, and the entrance alone is a full foot high. Among the red bricks and green tiles, there is a large red gold plaque on the Kowloon Green that reads "Imperial Villa". The handwriting is unrestrained and bold.
However.
As the guide walked in, he saw only halls and pavilions along the way, majestic corridors, high eaves, vermilion balustrades and white stones, which are exquisite and unparalleled. When he raised his head slightly, he could also see the lush and dense mountains and forests.
, the ink and wash are smudged like a painting, and it really lives up to the name of the imperial village.
Of course, these pavilions and pavilions are the venue for cultural banquets, and the martial arts banquet still needs to go back. Cui Zhiduan refused to hand over his ice playing equipment to Qiu Wu and others, and insisted on carrying it on his back when walking.
Halfway through, I was so exhausted that I was out of breath.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Do you want mother to carry you away?"
Cui Zhiduan quickly glanced at the attendant leading the way, and was relieved when he saw that he didn't show any sarcasm. He shook his head and refused: "No, I'm not tired. I can go by myself."
Well, the little man's self-esteem needs to be taken care of.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't force it anymore, but she just took off the ice equipment he was carrying and gave it to the child's father, otherwise he might not have the strength to walk the rest of the way.
Cui Zhiduan was not a person who wanted to save face and suffer. Seeing this, he stopped being stubborn and said with a blushing face: "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Seeing this, the attendant who was leading the way made another suggestion: "Uncle Jing Ning, Mrs. Ning Guo, Mrs. Cui, if you are tired, please get on the soft sedan chair instead."
Mrs. Liu smiled and refused: "No, the scenery here is unique and beautiful. We come here once in a while just to enjoy the scenery."
The attendant said nothing more.
It took another quarter of an hour before we finally arrived at the square where the luncheon was held.
From the perspective of later generations, this square is very similar to the sports ground of later generations, with a square and stands, and the decoration is as luxurious as ever. It is worthy of the name of a royal villa.
The attendant probably saw the curiosity of Cui Qinglan and others, and introduced him very dutifully: "...In winter, the ice surface here can be flattened for playing on the ice. In summer, it will be used for more purposes, such as Cuju and horse racing.
Playing ball, hunting, etc., can all be done here.”
Cui Qinglan was amazed and longing in her eyes. Ye Zhenzhen looked at it and said to her: "As long as you stay in the capital for a longer time, you will always have the opportunity to come here again. Even if it is inconvenient for your mother to stay in the capital for a long time, she can stay in the uncle's house with you."
I am also a companion."
Mrs. Liu knew that her niece-in-law was busy and did not dare to bother her daughter too much. She said, "If Jingning doesn't want to live far away from the capital, even if he goes back in the future, it's okay to come to the capital every now and then."
This is exactly the reason.
Besides Liu, another person also thought the same.
"Zhen Niang! I have caught up with you!"
A familiar female voice sounded from behind. Ye Zhenzhen turned around in surprise and saw Chu Ningyan and Zhou Xunting walking over with their twin children. It seemed that they had arrived at the Imperial Mansion with them.
Ye Zhenzhen had not seen Chu Ningyan for a long time. She immediately greeted her happily, hugged her and said happily: "So you are also here for the banquet, why don't you go back to Beijing in advance? I thought you were just here.
I stayed in Jingning and couldn’t bear to come back.”
Chu Ningyan hugged her, then let her go, and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. I have been busy with official duties in the training court recently, and I have no time to return to Beijing. I know that I received an invitation from Her Royal Highness Princess Wei a while ago.
, I took this opportunity to come back. If I don’t come back, the children will hardly know their parents.”
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at Xiaodouzi and Xiaobaozi, who were a few months apart from her son, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really not going to send them to Prince Wei's Mansion for enlightenment?"
Yes, when Wangzi went to enlightenment, she also asked Chu Ningyan for her opinion. Who knew that Chu Ningyan had some ideas, but her parents-in-law were unwilling, either because they doted on their grandson or because they didn’t want to have too close contact with Prince Wei’s palace.
Finally refused.
Chu Ningyan sighed helplessly: "Well, you also know that my father-in-law sticks to his word, and it is difficult to change the decisions he makes."
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to say: "I still want Wangzi to be classmates with them, but it seems I can only wait a few more years. Xiaodouzi and Xiaobaozi have reached the age of enlightenment. You and Xunting can't be careless.
Have you found Master Enlightenment?"
"I found it."
Chu Ningyan nodded: "The child's grandfather helped organize the arrangements. He has already found the master. I heard that he is a hidden master. In a few days, he will come to the house to enlighten the children."
After all, she is the minister of Dali Temple, so the wife she found must be good. Ye Zhenzhen asked her about her current situation without asking any more questions - Chu Ningyan and the Liu family had already dealt with each other, and she did not need Ye Zhenzhen to introduce her.
, they also had common topics and soon started chatting.
Cui Weizhen also had a lively chat with Zhou Xunting, and the children were not far behind. After a while, Cui Zhiduan became the leader of the children and led his younger brothers and sisters to finish the work.
Ever since Chu Ningyan went to Jingning with Zhou Xunting, Xiaodouzi and Xiaobaozi rarely visited Jingning's house, but while they were learning to talk, the revolutionary friendship established by the three children was still there, and they met again.
After that, I quickly became familiar with it and soon started playing together.
Cui Zhiduan was happy. After all, he was no longer the youngest. His younger brothers and sisters listened to him again. Doesn't that make him happy?
