Princess Changning used to like Cuju, so a huge Cuju field was set up in Yongshou Palace.
Now she fell in love with archery and set up a target.
For the palace maids, the princess's new hobby is much better than before. As long as she shoots arrows by herself, at least they don't have to accompany her around, right?
Thinking like this, I was particularly enthusiastic about Xu Yin.
"County Lord, try this snow bubble shrinking drink, our princess likes it very much."
"Thank you."
Xu Yin picked it up and took a sip, it was cold and refreshing.
It's still spring now, so it's a bit cold to drink this. However, Princess Changning loves to move and runs a sweat every day. This preference is normal.
The Cuju court was very quiet, except for the sound of arrows hitting the target from time to time.
Two palace maids were talking quietly next to them.
"It's great that I don't have to run today!"
"Yes! I used to play football every day, but I was exhausted."
"Who wants the princess to like it?"
As they talked, the two of them talked about Xue Ru.
"Where is Professor Xue? I haven't seen him for several days."
"I was injured while accompanying the princess that day, so I took leave and left the palace. I don't know when I will come back. Maybe I won't come back."
It's not easy to teach in the palace, and you might let others take over.
"It's better if we can't come back!" Another said disdainfully, "She is the only one who can please the princess. The other one teaches music theory and plays Cuju with the princess every day, but she drives us around in circles."
"Who says it's not..."
Xu Yin suddenly interjected: "Teacher Xue?"
She caught the two palace maids chatting and showed a panicked expression: "The County Lord..."
Xu Yin nodded and then asked: "Who is Professor Xue you are talking about?"
Seeing that she didn't care about her fishing, the maids breathed a sigh of relief and answered normally: "Xue Xue is the princess' music theory master. It is said that no one can surpass her in pipa skills, but we can't tell."
My surname is Xue, and I can play the pipa. Why does it sound so familiar to me?
Xu Yin asked again: "I wonder what I call this Professor Xue? He is so powerful, he should be famous all over the world, right?"
The palace maid said disapprovingly: "She is indeed well-known. Her surname is Xue Mingru. She was born in the Jiaofang Bureau and is known as Master Xue."
Sure enough! Xu Yin understood immediately.
It turns out that Xue Ru has returned to the capital, so she dug the trap for this incident, right? She actually has the ability to sneak into the princess's side. The power behind her is extraordinary!
Now that things have failed, she must have hidden away. But it doesn't matter, since she is in the capital, there will always be time to meet.
Seeing that she was interested, the palace maid chattered about Xue Ru.
Xue Ru was good at dancing, but women like her were always disliked by people of the same sex. Now that she is gone, the palace maids talk about her right and wrong without any scruples.
Xu Yin listened to the gossip until Princess Changning called her over.
The two played together all afternoon. Before Xu Yin left, Princess Changning was reluctant to leave: "When will you come again? I'm so happy today."
Xu Yin replied: "I haven't summoned you, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to enter the palace."
This is true, after all, she is the daughter of a foreign minister, so it is not easy to enter the palace.
Princess Changning suddenly thought of something, grabbed her hand, and said excitedly: "Yes! Will you come and read with me? The prince brother has many companions who can come in and out of the East Palace at any time. So it is reasonable for me to want one, right?"
"
Xu Yin wanted to go home, but obviously he couldn't leave at the moment. Since he wanted to stay in the capital, it would be nice to be able to enter and leave the palace freely.
So, after sending Xu Yin out of the palace, Princess Changning went to find the emperor in a hurry.
It is rare that the emperor did not summon his concubine today.
He returned to his bedroom, feeling unhappy no matter what he thought.
That daughter of the Xu family was really beautiful, and none of the concubines in the harem could compare to her. Even when others came back, they still remembered her appearance.
However, I couldn't make up my mind to accept her as my concubine. The way she looked when she talked about killing people was really off-putting. Wu Zijing died because he signed her marriage contract, which was really a bad idea.
Alas, such a beauty has a mouth. It would be perfect if she could wait quietly for luck.
"Father! Father!" Princess Changning's voice came from outside.
Without waiting for a report, she had already rushed in with her skirt in hand, followed by the chamberlain.
"Princess! Princess, wait! Let the servant report..."
The emperor sat up and reprimanded with fake displeasure: "Chang Ning, you are so unruly, why did you break in like this?"
Princess Changning was not afraid of him at all. She stepped forward and took his hand, coquettishly saying: "Father, I miss you so much that I can't wait a moment longer."
The emperor wanted to scold her, but he couldn't bear to see her coquettishly, so he said: "It's just this time, it won't happen next time."
Princess Changning giggled: "I know." Anyway, if she does it again next time, the emperor will forgive her.
It was sad to lose the beauty, but seeing his daughter happy, the emperor cheered up and asked her: "What are you doing here?"
Princess Changning said: "Father, I want to ask you for someone."
The emperor said "Huh": "Who is it? Oh, your new tutor seems to have left the palace. Do you want to find another one?"
"No!" Princess Changning pouted and said, "I want a reading companion. The prince brother has many reading companions, but I don't have one. It's not fair!"
The emperor said: "Why don't you have a reading companion? Aren't Jiayi and Jinghua your reading companions? And Miss Liu's family, Miss Meng's family...how much is that?"
He was talking about the noble girls who went to school with Princess Changning. Jiayi and Jinghua were both princesses, the daughters of Prince Fu and Princess Jincheng respectively. Miss Liu’s family and Miss Meng’s family were the natal families of the concubines in the harem, and they were specially given as gifts.
Come in and get some gold.
But Princess Changning obviously doesn't think so.
She curled her lips: "What kind of companions are they? Jiayi and Jinghua are my sisters. Others will only stare at the prince brother, so I don't bother to care about them."
The emperor smiled and didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, it was normal for the prince to have a peach blossom. If he knew that Xiao wanted the prince, they were discerning.
However, my daughter's request can still be met.
"Then who do you want? Father, ask someone to tell you."
Princess Changning immediately smiled and said: "I want Miss Xu San! Father, since you have made her the county king, she is almost equal to a clan daughter. She should come to accompany me to school, right?"
Approximately equal to...
The emperor almost choked on his saliva, thinking that his daughter had seen his thoughts and deliberately gave Miss Xu San a name. He glanced at her twice and saw that she had a simple look on her face. He probably didn't think much about it, so he didn't
Suspect.
"Father! Are you okay?" Princess Changning couldn't wait any longer and grabbed him and shook him.
The emperor's love for his daughter was still very sincere. He was shaken by her, and then he thought that he really couldn't make up his mind to accept her into the palace, so he just let it go.
"Okay, okay, don't you just have a companion to read? I'll have someone deliver the oral message later."
Princess Changning was happy now: "Thank you, Father!"
Looking at his daughter's smiling face, the emperor sighed inwardly.
That's all, the beauty is a beauty, but it's a pity that she has no fate.
