Chapter 8, the daily life of the palace

The Xiaowang Mansion is located in the east of the city, facing north and south, facing water in front and mountain in the back. It is mostly surrounded by yards of dignitaries and noble people, with rich doors in a beautiful and peaceful environment.

Every morning, Li Ye gets up early and Qiu'er and Yue'er will serve him to wash. After that, they run around the river, then return to the yard, look up and sit up, and set up push-ups. Things must be taken slowly, and the number can be increased slowly. Urgent pursuit is just to encourage growth.

Haste means failure. Patience, care and confidence are essential qualities that Li Ye must have when doing things.

After that, Qiu'er and Yue'er were there to serve him and take a shower. Although it was not as convenient as in future generations and needed firewood to heat it, it was always good.

Then Qiuer and Yueer would serve the prepared breakfast. In this era, those who eat three meals are rich and noble families. Ordinary families can only eat two meals, and some families even have one meal a day.

The breakfast in the palace was very rich, with pastries, mutton, fruits, rice porridge, warm mung bean soup..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In the end, Li Ye had to not make things difficult for them.

...........

The people of the royal palace also gradually discovered that the little prince has become very strange recently.

First, they didn't go out to do anything wrong as usual, and they actually stayed quietly in the study! The little prince started reading! If outsiders knew that they would definitely not believe it, they would be beaten to death, but they were really watching.

Also, every morning when I wake up, I run around like someone chasing me, sweating all over, and do some weird and incomprehensible movements.

Could this be retribution... something strange and stubborn disease caused?

Everyone just talked privately and didn't dare to take it out. General Manager Yan Bi repeatedly explained that anyone who dared to Zhang Yang in the house would break his legs and throw it out!

The mansion's General Yan had the highest prestige, and what he said must be true. Everyone was silent and dared not talk about this matter at will from then on.

.........

Li Ye didn't care or pay attention.

Eat and drink well in the palace, and there are two lovely girls serving each day. There is nothing else to worry about except for casual exercise. Isn’t this comfortable life exactly what she wanted in her previous life? It’s just that there was no turning back at that time, and it’s different now. He enjoys this kind of tranquility and is content with the status quo. It’s a blessing to be comfortable...

Although sometimes he finds it difficult to accept the impact of this era, for example, two girls personally scrub him every day.

The two girls are minors, which is illegal in the future. And at their bright age, they should not have done this. They should enjoy family care, bloom their youth freely, and receive basic education.

Instead of being strong in a yard, being called around, serving people without dignity.

But soon he also realized that this was the trend of the times and he could not stop him. He had to reverse his ideas and thoughts and slowly align with this era before he could survive.

Regarding some things, he changed slightly within a reasonable range as much as possible without touching deeper things.

For example, not letting two girls do heavy work, remove many strict rules, such as when he eats, the two girls have to stand, and when facing him, the girls need to lower their heads slightly...

He was careful and silently changing these things within a range that everyone could accept, and he was good at grasping the psychology.

He also often chatted with two girls, probably because of the rules. They didn't talk much, but girls of this age were just chirping, innocent and brilliant birds, so they simply wanted to talk to them more and let them talk more.

After all, they were just children. After a few days, under his guidance, the two little girls also started talking. Even so, the two little girls were different. Qiu'er was quieter, while Yue'er was chirping like a little oriole.

.........

"Young Master, what words do you want to write? I have never seen you write." Yue'er happily leaned over her little head in the study. After spending many days together, under the intentional or unintentional inspiration and guidance of Li Ye, the two little girls also became lively.

Qiu'er quietly grinding ink while pulling the corner of Yue'er's clothes: "Don't be rude..."

Li Ye didn't care and laughed and pressed her little head back: "I didn't write before because I didn't have to write it. Now I want to write it. Have Qiu'er and Yue'er read books?"

Practicing calligraphy is originally Li Ye’s hobby. Ink and writing always have a kind of beauty beyond reality. The beauty is beyond the depth of artistic conception. Realism is the most important thing, and freehand painting is often hard to come by.

Qiu'er nodded quietly: "When I was a child, someone taught us piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The prince asked the husband in the mansion to teach many girls. Yue'er and I learned the best, so we were lucky enough to serve the prince."

"Yes, yes, not only can I read, but I can also sing lyrics. Do you want to listen to it?" Yue'er's eyes were bright. I guess the prince had never heard him sing lyrics before.

Looking at her expectant eyes, Li Ye was amused and distressed. The destined fate was the most tragic. If he was not recognized again, the pathetic would turn into despair.

He put down his pen, clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, bring the stool first."

Yue'er excitedly moved the stool and sat in front of him, then patted her head: "I want to stand to sing."

Li Ye nodded, "Then you sing while standing, I'll sit and listen. Qiu'er comes over, and you come and listen too."

"Oh..." Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, sitting obediently on the chair beside Li Ye, with a pleasant fragrance beside her.

After Yue'er stood up, she began to adjust her breathing, and then said, "I will sing a song "Spring Scenery" to the prince, which is a lyric card for 'breaking the arbitrary'."

Li Ye nodded, he knew the words. Yue'er raised her breath slightly, and then started singing...

"When the swallow came to Xinshe, the pear blossoms fell behind Qingming..."

"Three or four green moss on the pond, one orioles on the bottom of the leaves sound one or two. The sun is long and the flying catkins are light..."

Her voice was crisp and her tone was lively. Although the lyrics and cards were a bit old-fashioned to Li Ye in later generations, the lyrics were inexplicably consistent with the little girl and sounded unique, especially her serious and hard-working eyes...

"I smiled at my neighbor's female companion in the east and greeted her in the mulberry path.

I wondered how good my dreams were last night, and I won the battle today. I smiled from my face..."

After a while, the ending sound fell, and the study room became quiet. The sunlight shone through the paper window and gently spread on Li Ye’s knees. The subtle dust in the sun was chaotic, floating, just like a girl’s heart. Yue'er pinched her fingers nervously, looking at him with anticipation, with a glitter in her eyes.
