Chapter 2433 Waste Princess 21
Young Master Wen quickly waved his hand: "I can sit wherever I want." Seeing the empty room next to him, he randomly picked one and walked in and sat down cross-legged.
"It's fine here, just sit here."
He is the son of Mrs. Yinglan and one of the three ladies. Except for the chief and deputy seats, no one dares to question him wherever he sits.
The meaning of "stable" in the name is to do things steadily. As long as it is not rough, don't think about competing for the throne in the future, and generally no one will touch him. Since the position of Shangqing will be secure in the future, why bother fighting for this momentary power?
The young master choked heavily. He didn't expect that he would not get on the boat and follow him to fight for this position.
At this time, the third young master Kuang glanced at the sixth princess beside him. The princess Shuyu immediately understood and said angrily: "Sure enough, the seventh brother still values etiquette. He is also about the same age. As a concubine, he is fighting for position with his legitimate daughter. He really lacks discipline. .”
"Hey, Sixth Sister." The prince's voice was soft: "Don't be rude, we are all members of our own family."
What Empress Liang Jiang is most proud of is that she gave birth to the eldest son Ji and the eldest princess Shu three years after entering the palace. She really had two children in three years. In the next five years, she had several more pregnancies, giving birth to the third son Kuang and the sixth princess Yu. It was assured that the future king would be hers.
The prince is the white face, the young master Kuang is the counselor and the red face, and although the eldest princess is a bit domineering, there is also the sixth princess Yu who is not old but has a big heart, which is enough to suppress all the children.
But there happens to be a spoiled and brainless Seventh Young Master who dares to interfere.
The young master couldn't argue again, so he rolled his eyes and sat on the deputy seat in the side room. He proudly raised his chin towards the eldest princess and sat down as soon as he saw it. If you can, drive me away.
This made the eldest princess furious: "I really don't dare to do anything to you, do you? I have to sit in this position today!" After saying that, she rushed over and grabbed someone to take the seat.
Haha, it’s interesting, Xi Ning came over just to watch the fun. In the era before computers, televisions and mobile phones, even books were made of bamboo slips, so there was only excitement to read.
"No, eldest sister!" Young Master Kuang quickly stopped him: "It's just a position, so you have to give it to him, or else give up my and the prince's brother's position to eldest sister."
Even brothers born from the same mother dare to take their place. In fact, it was just a matter of arguing. Now that I have said this, I have regained my position. The eldest princess swallowed her breath and said, "No, how dare you delay your eldest brother's studies."
Then he took Princess Yu and sat down on the right seat while still feeling angry.
The other princes and princesses are also smart people. Even if they don't understand, they will have smart reading companions. Without a smart companion, he knew his identity and waited for others to take their seats before sitting down in an empty seat. If he was not smart and was stupid, he would be buried long ago.
Xining stood there, following the other concubine children, waiting for the concubine children above Ji to choose their positions.
Xi Ning saw Ying Hui sitting next to Gong Zizhong as his companion, and leaned close to Gong Zizhong to whisper.
"Sister Fourteen, sit here." After hearing this, Young Master pointed to a room next to him.
This is a four-sided corridor. There are no walls between the rooms. They are all separated by straw curtains. If you want to say something, you can just lift the curtain and speak.
She must be telling Young Master Zhong that she is now in the name of the Queen Mother and there is no harm in building a good relationship. That's why Gongzi Zhong is like this.
She saluted: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." She walked to her seat and sat down.
Sitting on your knees is tiring, so if you need to sit for a long time, you basically sit cross-legged. Only on important occasions, I have to sit on my knees no matter how long. Before the few remaining low-status concubines could sit down, Zi Gui came in.
With his meticulously groomed gray hair and beard, and wearing a Confucian scholar's wide-sleeved robe, he looked like someone from an ancient painting. He really looked like a man of moral integrity and a role model for others.
"Sir!" Everyone, led by the prince, stood up and saluted.
After Zigui sat down, he raised his hand and said: "Everybody sit down, everybody sits down. The lecture will begin soon."
Because the teaching is mainly for the prince, but not only the prince, but also the children above Ji have already finished reading the "Book of Songs" and "The Book of Songs". As for the children born below the royal daughter, who are not yet favored, they have not read any books. This is equivalent to putting those who have graduated from junior high school and those who have not yet entered elementary school together.
Zigui was considered capable, so he assigned questions to those who had read books and were literate in Chinese characters to let them think about it. Then the illiterate people were taught how to read the Book of Songs, read and write.
Half a day passed quickly, and snacks and soup were delivered from the dining room. Today is steamed adzuki bean cake and tea soup with maltose.
Naturally, the concubines ate it very sweetly, but the young master took a big bite and spat it out: "Even dogs won't eat that stuff."
Xining, who was eating together, rolled his eyes silently. This young man is serious and definitely has a super "bear" physique. He will say whatever he doesn't like and punish anyone who offends him. When the prince succeeds to the throne and becomes king, he will be the first to die.
Sure enough, the prince's expression changed as he was also eating the steamed cake "not even eaten by dogs", while the eldest princess immediately became furious.
He stood up from where he was and walked out with his trailing skirt. He stood in front of Young Master Zhong, pointed at his nose and scolded: "What do you mean? This is what my father ordered the kitchen to make. It's a reward." You have turned me into a dog and refused to eat the food that came over. You are being unreasonable and disrespectful. Please go with me to your father immediately to apologize!”
The young master rolled his eyes again: "I didn't say that my father was not good, I just said that the cakes made in the dining room are not delicious. If you want to apologize, you should go to the dining room to apologize to your father."
Hehe, this naughty boy does have some sophistry skills.
The eldest princess was speechless for a moment. She let out an angry "hum", flicked her sleeves, and stood with her back to him.
The third young master Kuang came to smooth things over: "No matter whether the food is delicious or not, it was ordered by the father. As children and ministers, we should be grateful and eat them all. Sister, the sixth brother is ignorant, so don't get angry with him. . Look, the third sister and the fifth sister are eating too.”
The third and fifth princesses, both born from the same mother, lowered their heads and pretended not to hear or see anything. Obviously Mrs. Jiang Shu favors sons over daughters, and the two daughters are not less angry with their younger brother.
The eldest princess finally calmed down a little: "It's just that your two sisters are eating, so you're being pretentious. If they are dogs, you are also a dog."
I finally found my place and returned to my original seat. But seeing the leftover cake, I lost my appetite at all, and said to the Sixth Princess next to me: "It's all for you."
"How can I finish eating?" The sixth princess frowned and turned to her maid: "I'll reward you all."
The eldest princess and the sixth princess's maid said thank you, took the cake and started eating.
Sweet and glutinous, with the aroma of red beans, it's not very delicious.
At this time, someone walked in. It was the maid next to Mrs. Yinglan. Seeing that there was something wrong in the atmosphere, he pretended not to notice. He smiled and saluted first to the prince, then to the eldest princess, and then said respectfully: "Prince Qi, eldest princess, today is the first day of school. Mrs. Yinglan lives." I have made some cakes and brought them here. I hope that all the gentlemen and princesses will be diligent in their studies and achieve success, so as to live up to the king’s hard work.”
