The night was getting dark.
The maid Qingzhi picked the wicks on the table, and then put the lanterns on so that the wind would not blow out the lights, because the princess is still young, and sometimes she would be afraid to sleep alone at night, so the lights would never go out. After finishing this matter, Qing Zhi turned back to the bed and looked at the little person in the bed, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, pursed her lips, and went out lightly.
When he heard the sound of the door closing, the little person who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt on his body, carefully climbed out of the bed, put on small embroidered shoes, and walked towards the window.
Therefore, it was late spring, and the night was not too cold. In order to keep the air circulating, the windows were not closed. The little man climbed up to the chair in front of the window very skillfully, with a pair of white and tender hands clinging to the window, his little head looked out. Until a slender figure came out from the shadow of the trees not far from the window, the little man showed a peaceful smile.
The moonlight in the sky was very dim, but it also exposed the figure of the visitor in front of the little man. The boy's face was relatively hard and silent, but his eyes were surprisingly black and bright, like stars in the sky.
"Zhen~~" the little man called out happily, of course the voice was small, for fear of disturbing the maid sleeping outside.
The eight-year-old boy was already very tall. When he saw the little person leaning out, he quickly reached out to support her, fearing that she would fall.
"Zhen, Chuchu is going to the academy tomorrow!" Little Chuchu said happily, she desperately needed to share the news with the boy, "Grandmother said, there are many people the same age as Chuchu in the academy, I don't know if Chuchu will become friends with them Woolen cloth?"
Seeing her bright eyes, more energetic than that serious and quiet expression, the boy couldn't help nodding. In other words, as long as she said, he would think it was right and good. In Ananda's words, this is a loyal dog bought and raised by Xiao Chuchu with food, absolutely loyal, as long as the owner says it, he will never disagree with it.
Xiao Chuchu was very happy that Zhen also thought so, and began to talk to the boy about what she knew about the academy, and after talking for a while, Xiao Chuchu suddenly asked in a low voice: "Zhen, will you go to the academy with me? "
Zhen looked up at the little girl's worried face, and nodded slowly.
Xiao Chuchu happily leaned over to press a moist kiss on the boy's face. This is what her mother often does to her, and she often does this to both her mother and younger brother, so she thinks it's nothing. But the boy was a little shaken and wanted to retreat, but when he found the girl crumbling on the window, he quickly caught her.
After talking for a while, looking at the moon outside, Chu Chu was also a little sleepy, and yawned.
"Go to sleep." Zhen finally spoke, his voice was hoarse, a sequela of long-term habit of silence.
"Well, I'm going to sleep, Zhen, Anwan~~"
Xiao Chuchu stretched out her small hand and rubbed the boy's forehead, Fang turned around and climbed off the chair, then ran back to bed with small steps to sleep.
On the bed in the outer room, the maid Qing Zhi listened with her ears and eyes sideways, and closed her eyes when there was finally no sound in the room.
In fact, the little princess wants to chat with Zhen every night, and both she and the guards outside know about it. However, the concubine ordered that the princess is an independent child, she can do whatever she wants, don't deliberately interfere, as long as her safety is not involved. Zhen is the secret guard in the future of the little princess, and he will be with the little princess for the rest of his life, so it's good to cultivate a relationship...
Qingzhi thinks about the princess' orders, and the prince's dark and gloomy expression, Qingzhi can't help guessing, perhaps, because the little princess is usually too well-behaved and sensible, so as parents, she allowed the little princess to be more comfortable and lively in private On the one hand, a rare indulgence.
The boy didn't leave the window until the little person inside fell asleep, and turned to walk toward the dark corridor.
At the end of the corridor, a man in guard clothes stood and watched him. Zhen walked up to him and lowered her head slightly.
"Zhen, come with me, your homework has begun."
Zhen remained silent, quietly followed the man and disappeared into the darkness.
************
The next day, everyone in Su Wang's Mansion woke up early.
Ananda hugged his daughter, who had come to pay respects in a proper manner, into his arms, and kissed her little face. Although the little guy was still as serious as ever, the mother couldn't feel her excitement about going to the academy to study. Usually, they are the adults who start first. After washing and changing, the two little buns come. Today, just as they got together, the daughter came to report. It seems that she is also looking forward to going to the academy today. .
Mmm, it’s so cute~ Chirp, give me another kiss~~
Chu Chu also went back to kiss her mother, and seeing her father's face, she obediently broke away from her mother's arms, sat aside, and waited for her parents to wash and change.
Just as Chu Chu sat down, the maid outside the door came in to report, and Xiao Shizi came over.
Ananda was surprised, did Xiao Baozi wake up so early? But still let people bring the little buns in.
"Mom, daddy, sister~~" the little bun rubbed his eyes and called in a childish voice.
"Why did Bai Bai get up so early today?" Ananda asked with a smile.
Little Baozi was still a little drowsy, he just pointed at his sister and said, "Sister, Academy~~"
After hearing this, Ananda suddenly wanted to bite him. This kid has been thinking about this kind of thing for a long time, and he doesn't look like a three-year-old child at all. Ananda retorted: "Well, my sister went to the academy today, but I can't go in vain!"
When Xiao Baozi heard this, he became anxious, and leaned over to smear Ananda's face with saliva, and said softly while smearing: "Mother, go go go~~ Baibai is very good~~"
Ananda was enjoying his son's slobber kiss, and when he was about to tease him again, Chu Baning came over, lifted his son away, handed him to his daughter, and then took the towel from the maid to wipe Ananda's face.
Ananda frowned, what was he doing so hard? Quickly grabbed the towel and wiped her face, lest the prince would rub off a layer of skin on her face. Really, they are sons and daughters, so there is no need to be jealous of children, right? After wiping himself, Ananda also took a towel to wipe his son, and ran over without washing his face. Does this little bun think about his sister going to college today even in his sleep
When Ananda and Chu Baning tidied themselves up, the maid had already prepared breakfast.
The breakfast time was spent again in the struggle between Ananda and his son. Ananda had some internal injuries, she really wanted to take good care of her son, so that every time she ate, it seemed like she was fighting, and the rice grains were everywhere. But Xiao Baozi has two fathers and sisters who are serious on the outside and sullen on the inside, doting on him, tearing her down from time to time, everything is useless, and she hates it so much.
Ananda became angry again, and hugged the little bun, squeezed his bun's face, and said, "If you don't obey, you can stay at home alone, and it's fine for father and mother to send sister to the academy."
The little bun blinked his eyes, and hurriedly pouted his little pig's mouth and moved towards her to kiss her, but Ananda turned his head away to prevent him from succeeding. Xiao Baozi had no choice but to hurry to cling to his sister, Xiao Pang put his arms around her waist, as if he absolutely wanted to take him with him.
Ananda was angry and funny, and finally stopped teasing him. After holding him in his arms and telling him what to do, Fang went out with her husband and daughter.
Chu Baning is taking a rest today, so he can send his daughter to the academy in person without going to court. But Ananda believes that if he is not Muxiu today, he will find a chance to ask for leave. After all, his daughter went to school for the first time, and he also took it very seriously.
In addition, the maid Qingzhi is the daughter's personal servant and must be brought along; Zhen is the daughter's future secret guard and must be brought along. The point is, Ananda felt that her daughter seemed to want Zhen to go to school with her, so let's take it with her, anyway, the prince has no objection.
Ananda thought, each student in the academy can bring a servant into the school to study with the young master/miss, commonly known as companion reading, because Xiao Chuchu suddenly decided to go to the academy, so there are no female companions of the same age. If you find it, let Zhen make up the numbers. Anyway, some ladies are accompanied by male companions to read, Chu Chu is not out of the ordinary. Qingzhi is thirteen years old this year, and it's not suitable for him to be a companion, so he waits in the resting place of the servants specially prepared for the students in the academy, and waits for the master when the class is over.
Ananda recalled the information in Qingshan Academy, and secretly sighed, what a noble academy!
It takes half an hour to travel from King Su's Mansion to Qingshan Academy by car. In fact, according to the normal driving time, two quarters of an hour should be enough time, but there are several bustling markets on the road, and there are many people, so it will inevitably delay some time.
Qingshan Academy is located on the hillside of Qingshan Mountain in Beicheng, so the name comes from "Qingshan Academy". When they came to Qingshan Academy, everyone got out of the car, and saw the plain gate of the academy, full of strong and simple atmosphere, above the door hung a plaque with four large characters "Qingshan Academy" written in flying and phoenix dances.
In front of the gate of the academy, a middle-aged man in a blue gown and a scarf on his head was waiting there with two servants. When they saw them, they hurried over to greet them. This is the head of the Qingshan Academy, because today the little princess of the Suwang Mansion entered the academy on the first day, and has been waiting here early. And with King Su's status, this is understandable. In particular, knowing that the small county of King Su's mansion is mainly going to the academy, the queen mother and the emperor in the palace also sent people over yesterday. The poor head of Qingshan Academy was almost tossed to death by these idle state leaders. Because the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the entry of the small princess of the Suwang Mansion into the academy, the head of the Qingshan Academy can only attach importance to it, even more fearful than the princes in the palace who go to the academy to study.
When he faced the legendary Queen Su in person, the head of Qingshan Academy suddenly understood why people were so obscure when they mentioned King Su, and dared not say more. He, he, he... He was also terrified by King Su's powerful aura and deep eyes! This person is absolutely not to be messed with!
After exchanging greetings, the head of the mountain personally accompanied Su Wang's family into the academy. At this time, it was already class time in the academy, the sound of reading was loud, and there were no students walking in the academy. It must be a sensation. After all, as the head of the No. 1 academy in the country, he is not the only one who will be accompanied by anyone. The most important thing in the capital is the royal relatives and aristocratic families, even if it is the four major families in the capital. The young master and young lady didn't move him a bit, let alone accompany and explain the environment of the academy in person like this.
The head of the mountain said that he was also very helpless. The queen mother and the emperor were pressed down by the two mountains, and with King Su, how could he dare to take the bridge
Ananda and Chu Baning went to see the environment and study room of the academy. The academy is very big, and they just picked a few places to look at, but Ananda was already very satisfied. Looking at the little girl, she looked around lively and rarely, reminding her of the scene when she reported to school on the first day when she was a child, well, it was probably the same mood. Only Zhen followed Chuchu silently as always, like a shadow without any sense of existence.
After reading the environment, Chu Baning didn't say anything, but just told the head of the mountain lightly that his daughter will be handed over to the academy, hoping that the academy will train her well, and the head of the mountain naturally respectfully responded.
Ananda also pulled his son to squat down to talk to his daughter, she was very obedient, she nodded obediently and said yes without her saying anything, and she never needed to worry. Ananda was relieved and felt uncomfortable. Sometimes her daughter is too good, and it is a very troublesome thing not to worry about.
"Okay, Bai Bai, let's go, goodbye to my sister!"
Little Baozi pursed his mouth and looked at his sister almost tearfully, with an expression of not wanting to leave.
"Qibai." Chu Baning called out.
So Xiao Baozi could only keep his mouth shut, and obediently took his mother's hand and followed his family away step by step.
It was the first time for Xiao Chuchu to come to the academy, and she was only accompanied by Qingzhi and Zhen, and it was also the first time that she left her parents to study abroad. Although she could see it when she returned home at night, she was always flustered in her heart, with a serious face Although tense, there was still some uneasiness in his eyes.
The head of the mountain has lived at this age, so he naturally noticed the slight uneasiness under the serious expression of the little girl. He smiled gently and said, "Okay, Miss Chu, how about going to the classroom with the head of the mountain?"
Xiao Chuchu looked up at him, pursed her lips, and nodded seriously.
The head of the mountain has a stomachache. With such a serious appearance, he can already imagine the frightened expressions of those restless bastards in the classroom. Well, in fact, with such a young girl with a strong aura, she should be able to shock those arrogant ministers and young ladies from aristocratic families, right
Thinking about it this way, the head of the mountain suddenly felt that the little princess of Su Wang's mansion is actually quite cute, at least it can save the gentlemen a lot of energy in disciplining those little bastards~~
