【Nine】(1/3)
In the end, the queen used how to convince Qianlong, Xiaoyanzi didn't know. She only knew that suddenly, Qianlong was not only concerned about his "learning", but also about his "life etiquette".
In fact, the princes of the Qing Dynasty did not go to study. Classes were the princes, not the princes’ business. Although Qianlong said that Manchus educated his daughters and sons similarly and would not restrict women, in fact, the treatment of daughters and sons was absolutely different. It doesn’t matter whether his daughters were studying or not, but his sons must be both civil and military talents. However, the princes had their own requirements and self-education. Qianlong was a person who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was proficient in everything. Of course, Qianlong thought that Xiaoyanzi had not studied much was a big flaw. He often said that if a person did not study, he would be vulgar, and what he couldn’t stand was vulgarity.
Therefore, the Condor Heroes was the first princess to enter the study.
On this day, in order to be cautious and to see how Ji Xiaolan "educated" Xiaoyanzi, Qianlong took Xiaoyanzi to the study room. A group of princes and the princes who were studying with him. Seeing that Xiaoyanzi was coming, the green clusters were a little red, which brought a lively atmosphere to the study room. Everyone was a little excited. However, when they saw Qianlong taking charge, everyone was worried again.
Ji Xiaolan looked at Xiaoyanzi, and all kinds of disordered behaviors about Xiaoyanzi had already spread throughout the palace. Seeing Xiaoyanzi sitting upright, as if facing a great enemy, her big eyes couldn't stop looking around, while Ertai and Yongqi, one on one side, frequently winked her, and felt a little strange. She thought that Qianlong personally supervised the formation, and this "master" had a heavy responsibility. No matter what, let's try the level of Xiaoyanzi first.
Ji Xiaolan cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Today is the first time Prince Ge is enrolled in school. I think, why not put aside those thick and heavy books and do some relaxed and interesting things. Prince Ge thinks?"
When Xiaoyanzi heard that she didn't touch the books, she couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly.
"Let's start with a word game to write a 'reducing foot poem'. There are four sentences in total, seven words in the first sentence, five words in the second sentence, three words in the third sentence, and only one word in the fourth sentence. In the four sentences, the princess can do whatever sentence they want..." Then he looked at the princes and said, "Who will help the princess start first?"
The little swallow had a bitter face, and it was completely inexplicable. It was like "reducing the foot poem" and "stretching the head poem"! It seemed that I had to find a hole in the ground. At that time, I would like to have a "reducing the hole poem" and let it go! Thinking about it, Yongqi had already answered loudly: "I'll come first!" Then he looked at the little swallow, then looked at Ertai, and said loudly: "A building is square!"
"Hang a bell!" Ertai immediately touched and looked at Xiaoyanzi, indicating that he had changed from seven characters to five characters.
"Crash!" Yongqi saw Xiaoyanzi's face was confused and quickly followed three words. Now he only needs to follow one word. Yongqi turned the teacup upside down and used a folding fan to make a collision, implying.
Xiaoyanzi stared at her eyes widened and instinctively said, "Buzz!"
Yongqi, Ertai, the princes couldn't help but applaud and applaud: "Haha! That's right, that's it!"
Xiaoyanzi asked inexplicably and in disbelief: "Really? Have I really got it right?"
"It's a great deal, it's a great deal!" Yongqi first praised.
Qianlong smiled and shook his head: "This is not something that can be found out, this is something that can be found out! It cannot be counted, so let's ask another question!"
Ji Xiaolan gave the second question: "Next, let's fill in the poem. I will mention the second half of the sentence. Listen to it: 'round and round, less, messy, quiet.' The princess wants to use these words to fill in a poem! Fifth prince! I see you are eager to try, so you can demonstrate it to the princess!"
Yongqi thought about it and looked at Xiaoyanzi. She could not use the words too deeply, but should be simple. If Xiaoyanzi could understand it, she read it out: "The fifteenth month is round and round, and half of the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month is a mess. The sky is covered with stars, and dark clouds are covered with quiet!"
"Well! It's well filled!" Ji Xiaolan nodded, not very satisfied. It's too spoken! Before she could ask Xiaoyanzi to do it, Ertai was already busy interfering: "I'll demonstrate too!" Looking at Xiaoyanzi, she thought to herself that Yongqi was still "too poetic". She should be taken from life. If Xiaoyanzi could understand life, she read a poem: "A mooncake is round and round, and there is less than half of everything in the middle, which makes the mouse messy, and the cat screams quietly!"
Ertai's poem made the princes laugh. Ji Xiaolan and Qianlong looked at each other and knew that Yongqi and Ertai were trying every means to help Xiaoyanzi, but they didn't say anything. Ji Xiaolan urged Xiaoyanzi and said, "Prince! It's your turn, let's give it a try!"
Xiaoyanzi was shocked and said in embarrassment: "Can't you not try?"
"If you want to try, there is nothing to be embarrassed about!" Ji Xiaolan encouraged.
"Then...if it is not filled in correctly, it is not good..."
"It doesn't matter. If it's wrong, you can correct it. If it's not good, you can modify it!"
Xiaoyanzi looked at Yongqi and the others, and both of them nodded to her and encouraged her. Xiaoyanzi knew that she could not bear it anymore, so she had to take a breath and let it go.
"Okay! Just try it!" I looked at Ji Xiaolan and read loudly, "Master's eyes are round and round..." As soon as the words were spoken, the princes laughed. Xiaoyanzi gritted the bullet and continued to read: "A punch is less than half..." The laughter of the whole house immediately turned into a burst of laughter, and everyone laughed in a slanted way. Xiaoyanzi looked around and took the materials completely on the spot, and read the third sentence: "Everyone laughed in a mess..."
At this moment, everyone couldn't help it, laughing so hard that they were so angry that they couldn't breathe. There was never such a noise in the classroom, let alone Qianlong was present! Ji Xiaolan was so angry that she blew her beard and stared at her eyes, so anxious that she coughed and slapped the table, and the laughter in the room was uncontrollable. Qianlong was both funny and angry, and had to snort his face and snorted: "Hmph!"
The princes immediately stopped laughing, Xiaoyanzi glanced at Qianlong and took the last sentence pitifully: "The emperor hums quietly!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, some were timid and tried their best to hold back their laughter, making them blush and their necks thick.
Qianlong was so amused that he could only turn into a long sigh: "Oh!"
Xiaoyanzi looked at Qianlong and Ji Xiaolan. Suddenly, she had an idea and remembered that Ziwei once taught her a couple. She thought it was fun at the time, so she remembered it. Now, she might as well take it out and try it! At that moment, she felt aggrieved and dissatisfied, saying loudly: "Don't sigh, my elder brother! I am an outsider, but I am very expert in the living world outside. If I don't believe it, I will also make a couple, I'm afraid that none of you will be right!"
Qianlong was immediately interested.
"Oh? What a big tone. Xiaolan! Have you heard it?"
"I heard this, please give me the question!" Ji Xiaolan looked at Xiaoyanzi.
"Okay, listen! 'The goat goes up the mountain, and the mountain touches the goat's horns, oo'" The last sheep scream was vivid.
Ji Xiaolan was stunned. What is this? What is it right?
The princes whispered.
Even Qianlong showed confusion.
Seeing everyone discussing, thinking, frowning, scratching their heads, and expressing their expressions, the little swallow was really unsatisfied.
"How is it?" Xiaoyanzi asked everyone with a smile.
The prince smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Master Ji?" Xiaoyanzi looked at Ji Xiaolan proudly.
Ji Xiaolan blushed and had to bow and say, "Please ask the princess!"
"This is the second couplet, it's..." Xiaoyanzi smiled and followed the second couplet, "The buffalo goes into the water, the water floods the buffalo's nose, mooes!" The last cow's cry was also vivid.
Qianlong couldn't help but laugh: "Haha! So that's it, so that's it!"
Ji Xiaolan also laughed. Although she knew that Xiaoyanzi could not have such a pair, it must be a game work by a literati, but when she saw Qianlong so happy, she also said with interest: "It's really the so-called teaching and learning. Return to the Condor Heroes, today, I'm convinced you!"
The princes all applauded and cheered. Yongqi and Ertai looked at each other and were honored.
Xiaoyanzi's eyes glowed, her face was shiny, and she smiled so brightly, but she was muttering in her heart: "Fortunately, she learned this trick from Ziwei and scared her master too!"
Qianlong was even more happy when he heard Ji Xiaolan praise Xiaoyanzi.
"Ha! Ji Xiaolan, who is knowledgeable and talented, actually has a day to be reluctant to give him a disadvantage! Haha!"
Amid the noise of noise, the little swallow was floating, Yongqi and Ertai applauded vigorously, staring at her with admiration. It was rare to be so lively in the study, and everyone was excited and happy.
The interesting story of Xiaoyanzi going to the study almost immediately caused a sensation in the entire palace, and it was a joke among the ministers after drinking. Everyone had different opinions about this "folk princess" who had no knowledge but could make Qianlong laugh. There were many speculations about her origin, and there was no consensus on all kinds of statements.
No matter what everyone is talking about, Xiaoyanzi is still thinking about leaving the palace. If she can’t leave the palace and see Ziwei, she will inevitably be impatient and feel that being a princess is getting less and less fun.
At the same time, Ziwei had made up her mind to let Xiaoyanzi's princess be the end and she would completely "quit".
On that day, Ekang walked into Ziwei's room and found Ziwei put a stack of clean clothes on the bed. She and Jinsuo were dressed neatly and were about to go out.
Erkang was shocked and asked anxiously: "Where are you going?"
"Just going to the hall to see Lord Fu, Fu Jin and you brothers!" Ziwei said.
"Is there anything wrong? Ahma has gone to visit Uncle Fu Liu and has not returned home yet; Ertai has entered the palace and has not come back yet!"
"Ah!" Ziwei was stunned.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"I want to thank everyone. I have disturbed so many days and made everyone worry about me. Now that the situation has stabilized, I think I should say goodbye too! I washed all the clothes that Mission borrowed me and put them on the bed..."
Erkang was shocked, looked at the spotless room, and asked anxiously: "Why are you in a hurry to leave? Is there anything inconsiderate about us?"
Ziwei shook her head and said quickly: "No! I am not at ease because you are too thoughtful! Really, I have been disturbing too much, so I should go back to my own place!"
Erkang stared at Ziwei, and suddenly felt panic. In a hurry, he rushed out: "What is the 'where you belong to you'? Are you talking about that slum? Or the palace? Or your hometown in Jinan? What is it yours? Can you explain it clearly?"
She asked Ziwei in one sentence. Her face darkened and her heart felt sad.
"Yes, the world is so great that there is no place that really belongs to me! But I know very well that the place that does not belong to me!"
Erkang glanced at Jinsuo.
Jinsuo said to Er Kangfu with tactfulness and said, "Master, I'll go out first! If you have something to say, let's talk to the lady slowly!"
Jinsuo walked out the door and closed the door.
Ziwei became a little uneasy and lowered her head crampedly.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Erkang stepped forward and stared at Ziwei excitedly.
"Ziwei, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not going to let you go!"
Zi Wei was shocked and looked up at Ekang.
"Why?"
"Because... all of us, including the Fifth Prince, have put a lot of pressure on you, forcing you to be wronged and give up the road to seeking relatives! Each of us knows that you are a golden branch, but each has its own selfishness. In order to protect the people we want to protect, we hide your life experience. We have a lot of apology to you. In this kind of apology, we can only treat our home as your home and let us do our best to you!"
"I appreciate your kindness! In fact, you don't have to be sorry to me at all. I chose to give up this path myself. I also have people I want to protect! Your whole family is so kind to me, and I will be grateful for it for life! However, this place is not my home after all. I live here and I have never felt at ease. You should let me go!"
Erkang became anxious.
"But, your identity still has a turning point! Maybe it's clear? Living in my house, the news in the palace, the emperor's situation, and even the every move of Xiaoyanzi... you can know immediately, isn't it good? Besides, we are still making arrangements to send you into the palace and meet Xiaoyanzi!"
"I understand in my heart that it is very dangerous to sneak into the palace. Maybe it will cause both concubines and you to be criticized! After reading Xiaoyanzi's letter, I am no longer in a hurry to meet Xiaoyanzi! As long as everyone is safe, it will be a blessing for each other!"
"But, but... don't you want to meet the emperor?"
Ziwei sighed: "So what if I see you? It's good to leave some room for imagination for yourself!"
After talking about it, Ziwei was about to leave, and she couldn't help feeling confused.
"Then... are you leaving?"
"I'm sure you're leaving!"
Erkang stared at Ziwei, and saw Ziwei's eyes were as beautiful as autumn water and drunk, and he became fascinated. He immediately revealed his true feelings and said, "Don't worry about all the reasons for keeping you! If... I said, for me, please stay?"
Zi Wei was shocked, staggered back, looking at Erkang with a pale face.
Erkang also looked at Ziwei with a pale face, his eyes full of tension, expectation and enthusiasm.
Such eyes made Ziwei's breathing rapid, and she asked hoarsely: "What do you mean?"
