At first, Emperor Lin thought that this was a fake "The Analects of Confucius", which meant that there was something unappreciable on the pages of the book. He knew very well what kind of virtue he was, and he asked him to study and killed him. In order to avoid going to school, he had done such things as pretending to be dizzy.
He reached out to take the book over and opened it and found that it was real!
If you want to curse someone, you can't scold him anymore.
The book is a bit old, with scrolls on the corners, which are often turned. The only abnormality is that there is a withered crabapple flower in the book. Emperor Lin asked, "What is this?"
Lin Jingyuan honestly replied: "This is called bookmark."
Emperor Lin asked again: "What is the purpose?"
Lin Jingyuan lowered his head, his eyes turned around and thought, "I used it to record the reading progress so that I could avoid folding the corners of the book."
The first time Emperor Lin heard this statement, he raised his eyebrows, and didn't know whether it was a praise or a derogatory person. "I can't tell that you are still a book lover. The crabapple is placed on this page, which means you have seen this page?"
Lin Jingyuan gritted his teeth: "Yes."
Emperor Lin smiled and said, "Then you can recite it and listen."
Lin Jingyuan: "……………” He kowtowed, "I have not memorized it yet, and I plan to finish reading the whole book and start memorizing it from the beginning."
Concubine Xian immediately echoed beside him: "This child has never liked to read, but now he has started reading and still carries the book with him. It can be seen that he has put his heart into it. Your Majesty might as well give him some time."
Emperor Lin's face was no longer as displeased as before. He loved the fourth prince. Seeing that he was eager to learn, he was still very satisfied. He returned the "Analects of Confucius" to him and praised him: "A scholar should treat him with admiration for three days after he has been separated.
Long Yan was very happy and even dinner was used in Changming Palace. Emperor Lin loved young and beautiful concubines. Concubine Xian entered the palace early and was a little older. He rarely got favored in recent years. If he hadn't had a son loved by Emperor Lin, he would have fallen out of favor long ago.
The son is not good at doing well and his mind is full of playful play. Now he is still young, so Emperor Lin prefers him without any hindrance. However, if he still doesn't learn this way when he grows up in the future, he may lose his grace.
Today, just a book called "The Analects of Confucius" made Emperor Lin so satisfied. He praised her for her good teaching and rewarded a lot of things. Concubine Xian was very happy, but she also knew the nature of her son. When Emperor Lin left, Lin Jingyuan immediately called in front of him and asked, "Where did this book come from?"
Lin Jingyuan was much more honest with his mother, "It was given to me by the Fifth Emperor Sister." He thought of something, and his eyes were bright: "The Fifth Emperor Sister sealed the luck in this book and gave it to me. Mother Princess, it's true that she is very lucky, right! The father didn't even scold me!"
Concubine Xian suddenly remembered the fact that her son sent someone to Mingyue Palace to deliver things in the afternoon.
At first she was a little angry and planned to spread the nobleman Lan to come to give a speech tomorrow morning, but at this moment she was not annoyed at all. She admonished Lin Jingyuan to ask him to learn well in the future. When he stepped down, she said to the palace maid Shayu: "There is no need to spread the nobleman Lan to come tomorrow morning, call the fifth princess to come."
So the next morning, the eunuch in charge of Changming Palace came to Mingyue Palace to deliver a message.
When Xiao Lan heard that Empress Xian was about to see the little princess, her face turned pale, and she grabbed Yun You's hand and said anxiously: "What should I do? It must be that yesterday's incident made the Empress angry. Hurry up, Qingyan, dress me up, and I will accompany Lu'er to apologize to the Empress."
Lin Feilu felt that Xiao Lan was always sick, and most of it was scared out of this harem.
When the eunuch saw Xiao Lan, he also came out and said with a smile: "Guru Lan, the empress only passed on the fifth princess."
Xiao Lan was in a dilemma. She took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was given by her mother when she entered the palace and was also her only jewelry. After handing it to the eunuch, she whispered: "Dadfather-in-law, what mistake did the princess make that anger the empress?"
The eunuch smiled and took the bracelet, "Goddess is at ease, the empress is in a good mood. The princess is a blessed person and will not be able to do anything."
Xiao Lan was relieved when she heard him say this, and then told Lin Feilu a few more words before watching her leave with the eunuch.
It was still early, and the autumn morning was chilly. Lin Jingyuan went to the Imperial College to attend classes early in the morning. When Lin Feilu stepped into Changming Hall with the eunuch, Concubine Xian was sitting on the couch drinking snow lotus and lily porridge.
The pearls in the room were decorated with faint fragrance, which was even more luxurious than Jingpin's Zhaoyang Palace. It seems that the quality of life in this harem is indeed related to position. Lin Feilu only glanced at it and did not look at it anymore. She walked to Concubine Xian with her head down and saluted her crisply: "The little deer greets Concubine Xian."
It was the first time that Concubine Xian had known this fifth princess.
The little girl was dressed in a simple dress and had a slim figure. She had two little tucks on her head. She was still childish, but her facial features were delicate and she was very cute. Especially her eyes, like night pearls, flashing and full of spiritual energy.
She looked a little nervous, but very polite. She was the kind of girl who looked so well-behaved and innocent.
Concubine Xian said intimately: "Get up quickly." She turned to Saiyu and smiled, "Like her mother, she is a beauty."
Zaiyu also smiled and nodded: "What the Empress said is."
Concubine Xian personally took her hand and asked her to sit on the couch, and asked again: "The fifth princess has enough breakfast?"
Lin Feilu lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head gently: "Not yet."
Concubine Xian asked Zaiyu to serve another bowl of snow lotus and lily porridge, and smiled and said, "Try this porridge quickly."
Lin Feilu pursed her lower lips, looked at Concubine Xian's expression, and said "Thank you, Concubine Xian" in a slight voice, then slowly picked up the spoon and lowered her head.
She is also very polite in eating, chewing slowly, without any sound. She has never eaten such delicious porridge before, with bright eyes. Children will not hide their preferences, and their full likes are on their faces.
After she finished her porridge, Concubine Xian asked someone to cook crispy tea and accompanied it with the snacks from the imperial kitchen. Lin Feilu likes to eat sweets, but she used to control her figure and skin. After coming here, she couldn't eat cake and milk tea, and Xiao Lan couldn't afford her snacks. Today, she finally had a great time.
She was not polite, and she ate so hard that her face was full of innocence.
Concubine Xian secretly observed her for a while, and finally confirmed that she was indeed a child who was ignorant of the world. The defense in her eyes was removed. After she finished her snacks, she asked with a smile: "How old is the fifth princess this year?"
Lin Feilu licked the corner of her mouth and said softly: "I'm five years old when I say it to the Queen."
Concubine Xian smiled and said to Shuyu: "In this palace, except for Concubine Su's daughter, the fifth princess is the youngest and is so well-behaved. No wonder Jing Yuan mutters about his five princesses every day." She looked at Lin Feilu: "I heard that yesterday, you gave Jing Yuan a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" to Jing Yuan?"
Lin Feilu nodded: "Yes."
Concubine Xian asked again: "Why did you send him the Analects of Confucius?"
Lin Feilu said in a whisper: "Yesterday, the Fourth Emperor gave me many gifts. It's not a bad thing to come but I should give him a gift. But..." She lowered her head in a little annoyed manner, and two small buns swaying on her head, and her voice also showed a hint of dullness: "The Fourth Emperor Brother has nothing, and I don't have anything to give him. Later, I thought that my mother said that there was Yan Ruyu in the book, so she gave him the "Analects of Confucius" back."
After hearing what she said, the smile on Concubine Xian's face became even stronger. Seeing Lin Feilu's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little more sincere. "I didn't expect that although the fifth princess is young, she is so polite and studious. If Jing Yuan is as sensible as you, I will be at ease."
Lin Feilu looked at her seriously: "The Fourth Emperor Brother is very good, he is very good."
Concubine Xian was amused by her: "You are the first person to praise him like this."
The fifth princess is straightforward and innocent, well-behaved and polite. Compared to the eldest princess Lin Nianzhi and the third princess Lin Xi, she is particularly likable. Concubine Xian chatted with her for almost an hour, and she liked this little girl more and more from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, she didn't like the eldest princess, because the eldest princess' biological mother, Concubine Hui, has been inconsistent with her since she was in the East Palace. The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they regard each other as thorns in their eyes.
Lin Feilu is different. Her biological mother is just a noble person. If she is not favored, she is disgusted by His Majesty because she gave birth to a fool, and she will not pose a threat to her. Concubine Xian knows her son very well. She is used to be beating Ono and hates studying. When he and His Majesty say that, he goes in his left ear and goes out of his right ear, clearly showing that he is going to run wildly on the road of a playboy prince.
Now he is willing to accept the books given by Lin Feilu and cherish them so much, which shows that he really likes this sister. This emperor girl is not spoiled or cunning. Concubine Xian is very relieved to them and hopes to use Lin Feilu to persuade her son to move forward.
He then explained: "Jingyuan is playful and can't be as smart as Xiaolu. Since he is willing to listen to you, he will advise him to study more often on weekdays. Not to mention the distance, he should recite the Analects of Confucius you gave him as soon as possible, so that he can be worthy of your sincerity."
Lin Feilu nodded and said obediently: "The little deer has written it down."
Concubine Xian was very satisfied. Before leaving, she gave her a lot of things. She had several boxes of snacks alone. She asked Shuyu to take the palace maid and eunuch back to Mingyue Palace in person, which shocked Xiao Lan to the point of being at a loss.
Saiyu smiled and said, "The Empress has something to do, so let Concubine Lan go to Changming Palace for more than anything. The Empress loves the fifth princess and treats her as her own daughter. If there is anything missing in the palace in the future, the nobleman just tells the Empress."
Xiao Lan was simply flattered.
When the palace people left, several people looked at each other at the rewards all over the yard. Finally, Qingyan said happily: "The little princess is indeed a blessed person, and everyone loves him."
The movements in Changming Palace over the past two days were seen by the palaces, and everyone was confused. They didn't understand why Concubine Xian suddenly wanted to win over a noble person who had been out of favor for many years. Not to mention anything else, it was so unlucky in the Mingyue Palace.
Later, when I heard from the people, I realized that the fourth prince and the fifth princess were having a good relationship. The fourth prince has always been willful and caused trouble in this palace every few days, and everyone has become accustomed to it. Recently, I rarely hear news of him committing crimes again. Some eunuchs even saw him fishing in the Huxin Pavilion while memorizing the Analects.
At first I found it strange, and only after I contacted the two things, I realized the reason.
No wonder Concubine Xian is concerned about it. She can make the Fourth Prince obedient, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Everyone expressed their curiosity about the fifth princess. They didn't pay much attention to her before, but now they are careful and often see her in Yujingting and other places in Yuhuayuan.
Apart from being a little more obedient, a little cute and a little more agile, there seems to be nothing different from ordinary people?
Then why did the Fourth Prince just listen to her?
