For some reason, news of the children making a scene in the barracks spread like wildfire.
Because they are all the top and noble children in the capital, they are either princesses, adopted sons of His Majesty, or sons of important ministers... Therefore, those who hear the news are treated as jokes, and they can just laugh it off after dinner.
Yufu and Gu Shubai knew about this as early as when Huashang came back from the military camp, the imperial guards in the palace city are strictly guarded, it is impossible for the princess to be lost for a day so that no one can find her whereabouts. No matter how much the guarding guards liked the box of breakfast, they didn't dare to help Hua Chang hide the truth.
The two of them just pretended not to know, and sure enough Huashang took the initiative to tell them.
"Mom, actually, I just want to be confused."
Hua Chang sat on the rose chair, resting her chin with both hands, her whole little head was pressed on the table, sullenly, "Why don't they believe that I'm a princess?"
It turned out that she was unhappy about it.
Yu Fu and Gu Shubai looked at each other, and the husband and wife smiled tacitly.
"Because those soldiers have been in the army all year round, and almost never entered the palace. And you have been in the palace all year round, and have never entered the barracks. The two live in different places, how can they recognize you? You can't compare them with the palace. Compared with the imperial forest army or the ministers of the court, it is different."
Yu Fu explained softly, Hua Chang quickly turned his head and said: "This Hua Chang understands. But I am wearing a fancy dress made by the Imperial Household Department, and I am also wearing expensive and extraordinary bead ornaments. Could it be that they still can't see that I am really Is it a princess?"
Gu Shubai took over the words and said: "Ordinary officers and soldiers naturally don't recognize any fancy clothes and emeralds. What they recognize are swords, guns, axes, armor and helmets. How can they understand women's accessories? What's more, the country is prosperous and the people are prosperous. Ordinary folk women also wear them. Dressed in an extraordinary way. In the eyes of the lieutenant generals, they are nothing more than colorful, and there is no difference."
Hua Chang pouted suspiciously, "Then why did Daddy understand? Daddy picked out clothes for mother the day before yesterday, saying that emerald shoes look good with a bright yellow skirt?"
Gu Shu raised his brows, wondering when did this little clever ghost hear it.
Yu Fu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "How do you compare your father with ordinary lieutenant officers? Your father was born in a general family, in a Xuanhe mansion, and grew up wearing gold and jade, so he naturally understands this. Not to mention, now Just look at your third uncle, he liked to dress plainly when he was young, and practiced martial arts in the martial arts arena in the mansion every day wearing only ordinary clothes. If you ask him about clothes and jewelry, you will know that even the children of the Gu family can’t understand these things, let alone ordinary people Where are the generals?"
Hua Chang nodded after hearing this, and seemed to have found the answer he wanted.
But after thinking about it, I still feel that something is not quite right.
Could it be that if I don't wear this gorgeous dress and these jewels, others won't be able to see that I am a princess
She shook her head hurriedly, "No, even if my mother is dressed in rags, no one dares to despise her. Even if she doesn't recognize it as His Majesty, at least she knows that she is an extraordinary person. Huashang doesn't want to be respected by a fancy dress, she should rely on it." … Depend on… "
For a moment, she couldn't think of what words to use to express that thing.
"Rely on momentum."
Gu Shubai kindly reminded Huashang as if waking up from a dream, "Yes! It depends on momentum!"
The little child was thinking a lot, Gu Shubai couldn't help curling his mouth, Yufu couldn't help laughing, Huashang's small face looked at them smiling seriously.
After they had laughed enough, Hua Chang said aggrievedly: "Did Hua Chang say something wrong?"
"No."
Gu Shubai also became serious, "What kind of aura does Huashang think the princess should have?"
Hua Chang looked at him, then at Yu Fu, always felt that it was not right to compare himself with them, but it would be even weirder not to compare them with others.
There is only her as a princess in Dazhou, so what kind of a princess's aura should be, isn't she in charge
She thought for a while, blinking her big eyes, "As a princess, you should respect the heaven and earth, and be filial to your parents; The momentum should be... "
Yufu and Gu Shubai looked at her expectantly, Huashang thought for a while and said: "It should be generous and benevolent, calm and restrained, and polite."
This summary made Yu Fu and Gu Shubai laugh again.
But this time I laughed not because she thought too much at such a young age, but because she was pleased with the depth of her thoughts, at least she didn't say that she should be superior, or that she should be decisive and not angry.
Gu Shubai gave Yu Yu a look, and the latter understood, and took Hua Chang into his arms, "What you said is not wrong, mother is very pleased that you think so. But Hua Chang, you know why even if you understand this, others still Don't you recognize that you are a princess?"
Hua Chang looked up in surprise, "Why?"
"Because you are too young."
Yu Fu strokes her little flower head, every time she does this action, she will think of Gu Shubai touching her hair in the same way when she was a child.
Time seems to overlap, Huashang is like another shrunken her.
Her tone became more and more gentle, "You know what to do as a princess, so you don't need to go into details. But as a child, it's natural to love to play and make trouble, even a princess can't avoid it. Otherwise, you know you shouldn't, Why did you still run to the barracks with everyone?"
Hua Chang stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, and rolled into a ball in her arms, "Because I miss Brother Ning Ping, he is suffering and tired in the military camp alone, I have to go and see him to be relieved."
"That's it. Brothers and sisters love each other and help each other. This is the most precious quality you have now. When you are young, you can love your family and brothers. When you grow up, you can love the people and the common people. Do you understand?"
Hua Chang sat up straight from her arms, and nodded solemnly, "Hua Chang understands. Then I'm not in a hurry. When I grow up, I will definitely look like a princess, and I won't disappoint my parents."
Only then did Gu Shubai speak, "Hua Chang, do you want to hear stories about your mother's childhood? In fact, your mother was not at all like Your Majesty when she was young..."
Huashang's big eyes sparkled immediately, Yufu stared at him quietly, and secretly warned him not to say anything too embarrassing, lest it ruin her image in Huashang's heart.
Gu Shubai smiled and blinked, signaling her to rest assured, Yufu was satisfied and went outside the hall to watch the moonlight.
Gu Shubai's voice said eloquently: "When you were young, your mother had just arrived from Immortal Valley to Dongling, and the carriage arrived outside the gate of Guhou's Mansion. Before the servants put the footstool in place, she jumped off the carriage with a thump and put Your second uncle and the others were taken aback. Do you think this seems to be caused by His Majesty?"
Hua Chang giggled, it was hard to imagine that this was something Yu Fu could do.
Just as Yu Fu walked out of the hall, he heard the sound of footsteps and stopped, frowning and looking into the hall angrily.
Didn't you say it's good not to talk about embarrassing things
…
In the Ning Mansion, Ning Yidan also told Ning Chengzhi and his wife what happened.
"Is your foot okay? Dad will ask the doctor to come and take a look at you again, but you must not leave any symptoms behind."
Ning Chengzhi hurriedly went out to ask for a doctor, but Mrs. Ning looked curious, "Who applied the medicine for you? It seems that you are almost healed, and it was your father who was so anxious."
Ning Yidan pursed his lips and smiled, "It's Brother Yuanzhang."
In just half a month, she has gone from being aloof and polite to being able to call Brother Yuanzhang directly.
Madam Ning was naturally delighted, "Yuanzhang is such a good boy, isn't he? Mother said that her eyesight was right. The first time she saw him when she was a child, she thought he was a good boy."
In the beginning, when Mrs. Ning asked her to take the imperial examination, besides telling her to be respectful when she saw Huashang, she also told her to make good friends when she saw Yuanzhang.
But Ning Yidan is more introverted, even shy to make friends with girls, let alone boys
Fortunately, Huashang was generous and cheerful, and took the initiative to pull her into everyone's circle, so she could become friends with Yuan Zhang, Ning An, and Gu Jiaojiao.
The more she understood, the more she realized that what her mother said was right, Yuan Zhang was really good.
She hummed softly, "If I hadn't dragged brother Yuanzhang down, he would have been able to get away. But not only did he not run away by himself, he even helped me hide, and found medicine for me when I twisted my foot. And Ah, he usually defends Huashang and Yuanchi in Taixue. That time Ouyang Tielu just wanted to touch Huashang's hair, but he immediately blocked him from touching it. Also..."
Ning Yidan seldom talked so eloquently, Madam Ning only looked at her and smiled, without interrupting her.
Seeing her smile, Ning Yidan quickly stopped talking, blushing a little.
"Why don't you continue talking?"
"Say... it's over."
Originally, she also wanted to talk about Yuan Zhang's competition with Ouyang Tie Lv in the martial arts arena, and also about how Yuan Zhang not only did not bully Ouyang Tie Lv afterwards, but also took the initiative to become friends with him...
But it seemed a bit strange to praise other boys like this in front of my own mother.
Mrs. Ning did not laugh at her, but said: "Didn't Mother tell you that your dragon pendant is with Yuan Zhang? You two children are destined to be together, and now you are good friends. You should get along more."
Ning Yidan was still young, she didn't tell her full plan, she only asked her to treat Yuan Zhang as a good friend.
"What do you get along with?"
Ning Chengzhi walked in from the outside, just in time to hear Mrs. Ning's last words, and was a little puzzled.
Mrs. Ning didn't want to tell him about this, which father would like his daughter to praise other men
Then he said perfunctorily: "I said let Dan'er get along with the princess well. The princess is talented and magnanimous. If we Dan'er can learn more, we parents can rest assured in the future."
Hearing this, Ning Chengzhi hurriedly said: "That's right, Dan'er, I have told you this many times, you have to remember it. It's rare that the princess is generous and willing to make friends with you. Don't be negligent, and learn from others. Strengths, you know?"
In fact, Ning Chengzhi has never met Huashang, but he just thinks that Yufu and Gu Shubai's daughters are naturally not bad, so he always asks Ning Yidan to learn from her.
Ning Yidan could hear the cocoons in his ears, "I know, so the princess is going to the military camp, so I went with her. We are good friends, we must share the blessings and share the hardships!"
Ning Chengzhi thought for a while, and felt that it was too dangerous to go to the military camp to mess around, but the saying that there are blessings and hardships together is true, and he didn't know whether he should persuade Ning Yidan or not.
Early the next morning, everyone returned to the school, Hua Chang was particularly refreshed.
When they entered the door, they happened to meet Yuanzhang bringing Gu Jiaojiao. After the three of them talked, they realized that they each took the initiative to explain to their parents.
"I didn't take the initiative."
Gu Jiaojiao yawned, and reluctantly said: "Brother Yuanzhang said that he was honest and a gentleman. He took the initiative to tell the second uncle and the second aunt. If I don't say it, will I wait to be beaten? So I had no choice but to Pretend to be frank and lenient, but fortunately my mother said that I was only punished for copying the book when I was frank."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Yuanzhang, "Hey, I was busy copying books yesterday, so I didn't ask you what punishment you received?"
"Punishment for what?"
Yuan Zhang said with a harmless face, "I was not punished."
"What?!"
Gu Jiaojiao immediately cheered up, "Why did I have to be punished for copying books, and you didn't receive any punishment? This is too unfair. Isn't Second Uncle always very strict?"
Yuanzhang shrugged and said nothing, while Huashang covered his mouth and smiled.
Suddenly seeing Ning Yidan came, everyone asked about her foot injury, only to find out that she also confessed to her family, and she did not receive any punishment.
Gu Jiaojiao jumped anxiously, "Everyone did the same thing, why didn't you get punished but I got punished? It's unfair just because you are good at studying, I don't accept it!"
Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation and said: "Then you can read the book well, too?"
Before Gu Jiaojiao had time to refute, she suddenly saw a drawer coming in from the outside, with a familiar voice lying on it, and it was Ouyang Tie Lv who raised her head.
"How is this going?"
The servant of Ouyang's family who carried the cover said: "Princess Hui, all young masters and ladies, our general ordered us to bring the young master here to ask for leave. He was spanked ten times by the general yesterday and his butt blossomed again. It is really difficult to attend class. "
Gu Jiaojiao swallowed, not daring to say unfair things anymore.
