Shi Qing's statement that he went to the palace to visit the fifth emperor's daughter is not accurate, after all, the friendship is not so good.
It's just that the emperor summoned her and Yun Zhi to enter the palace, and after the end, Shi Qingshun took her to see the fifth princess.
After entering the palace gate, Shi Qing and Yun Zhi left.
When Shi Qing went to the imperial study, Yun Zhi, as a man, went to the harem first to meet the queen.
When Shi Qing arrived, there were still four imperial daughters in the imperial study.
Since the assassination of the imperial envoy last time, compared with the sixth imperial daughter, the fourth imperial daughter has obviously participated in politics more.
She bowed to the fourth princess, "Fourth Highness."
The fourth princess nodded slightly at her.
"Shi Qing is here," the emperor raised his eyes and glanced at her, signaling her to wait at the side first, "Stand for a while, I have something to talk to you about."
Shi Qing replied, "Yes."
What the emperor told the four imperial daughters was only about Qiu Wei.
There have always been frauds in previous scientific examinations, not to mention the urgent time to open Enke this year, some people can't help but want to take shortcuts at this time.
What the fourth princess meant was to strengthen the body search before entering the examination room to prevent entrainment and substitute examinations.
But every time I search, there are still people cheating every time.
The emperor pondered for a while, neither saying yes nor no bad.
The imperial study room was quiet, only the heat was surging.
The weather is hot recently, even though there are ice basins in the corners of the room and someone is fanning, it is still hard to get rid of the scorching heat.
The servant brought over an ice bowl and put it on the desk beside the emperor.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the emperor asked the servant about the situation of the sixth emperor daughter in recent days.
The fourth princess was standing in front of the desk, motionless, as if she didn't hear it, and she didn't urge the emperor to approve the official document in her hand.
The servant replied softly, "It is said that the sixth princess has been studying very hard recently, and she doesn't need a feather duster from the emperor when she goes to the Imperial Academy in the morning."
The emperor said slowly: "Shiju still has a solution. If it is Chen Taifu, he will only come here to complain."
Shi Qing was right next to him, so he was also curious to hear this.
The Sixth Emperor was not afraid of anything, a person who dared to use a board against Li Yunqing despite the saliva of civil servants, how could he be so afraid of her mother
Before Shi Qing could figure it out, the emperor said again, "Since Lao Liu is hardworking, let's reward her with this."
Refers to the ice bowl at hand.
The waiter stepped forward to hold the ice bowl, "Yes."
In terms of hard work, the hardest one among the princesses should be the fourth princess.
Not only is she excellent in her homework, but also her kung fu is not bad. It can be said that she is both civil and military.
When the eldest princess went to war, the fourth princess chose to go to the frontier for training because of the birth of the sixth princess. After a few years, I don't know how many wounds I had on my body.
That's it, I didn't get an ice bowl either.
Now the sixth princess is only doing her homework, and she can have praises and rewards.
Don't let this matter be placed on the fourth princess, but who is it to be placed on, and you can't say that the mother is partial and unfair
The fourth princess, however, lowered her eyelashes and stood quietly without any change in her expression.
The emperor looked up at her, and handed over the official document in his hand, "Go."
The fourth princess took it with both hands, saluted and stepped back, her voice was steady without any fluctuation, "Yes."
Not a word of complaint or dissatisfaction, just doing what I have to do, as for other things, I never seem to think too much.
When the four princesses retreated, the emperor put down the vermilion pen and took the teacup, looked at Shi Qing, "If it was you just now, what would you think and what would you do?"
Shi Qing was at a loss, and glanced in the direction where the fourth princess left.
She pointed back at herself, "The emperor means, if I was the fourth emperor's daughter just now, what would I do?"
The emperor sipped his teacup and nodded slightly, his tone relaxed, "Say it boldly, I'm not angry."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, "Since you are not angry, then I will tell the truth."
"I won't say anything else, but if my mother dares to give the ice bowl to my cousin in front of me..."
Shi Qing snorted, "I have to rush up in two steps and knock over this bowl!"
She said, "What I don't have, she can't even think about it!"
Still drinking ice bowls, drink cold water, go!
"..."
The emperor couldn't hold back, and almost laughed out loud.
This is something Shi Qing can do.
Even the servant next to him was holding back his laughter.
I have to say, Master Shi's actions are very real, and he didn't mention humility and generosity at all.
The emperor put down the teacup and said deliberately: "The fourth child is different from you, she is the older one giving way to the younger one."
Shi Qing shook his head, disapproving of this statement, "No matter how old you are, you are still your mother's daughter, and no matter how sensible you are, you shouldn't bear this injustice."
It's either all or neither.
I am willing to be humble because I am generous, but it is unfair for you to help me be humble.
People, the most taboo thing is injustice.
Especially a big family like the royal family with a big family and many children.
"I just like your outspokenness and frankness."
Shi Qing's reaction was the most authentic. Although the fourth child was old, he was still a child in front of her. It was impossible not to feel uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it.
The emperor smiled and signaled Shi Qing to go to the door of the imperial study to have a look.
Shi Qing walked over suspiciously and looked out, and saw that the fourth imperial daughter walking towards the palace gate not far away had an umbrella in her hand.
Although the color is not bright yellow, it is obviously not like the ones that the four imperial daughters would bring in when they enter the palace.
The sixth prince was given an ice bowl to relieve the heat, and the fourth prince was given a parasol under the scorching sun.
If the fourth princess is really smart, she should understand the deep meaning of this move.
Shi Qing looked at the umbrella, and remembered that Shi Ju told himself that day that the emperor appointed Shen Yuan as the chief examiner, and the fourth and sixth emperors were the deputy examiners, and he instantly understood.
The ice bowl is like a bait thrown out, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Only this humble umbrella is the mother's expectation and reminder for her daughter.
"By the way, you go to the harem with me, I have something to do with you and Yunzhi." The emperor got up.
Shi Qing followed curiously, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
He looks more like a junior than his own junior.
The emperor is already regretting why Shi Qing did not marry Shen Yu, otherwise Shi Qing would really be his own family.
The emperor looked at her sideways, and Danfeng had a teasing look in his eyes, "Guess."
This still needs to guess
Left and right are just a matter of Qiu Wei.
The reason why the place of the conversation was chosen to be the Qifeng Palace of the Empress is to avoid people's eyes and ears.
After all, the Queen likes Yun Zhi's embroidery work, everyone knows about it, and it would not be conspicuous to call him into the palace when she is free.
After talking about things, Yun Zhi got a bracelet from the queen.
Walking in the imperial garden, Yun Zhi couldn't resist picking up the bracelet and looking sideways at the sun.
The transparent suet jade is as delicate as suet in the sun, and it seems to melt at any time.
"Do you like it?" Shi Qing followed him and asked him.
This bracelet is hard to come by.
It took Yun Zhi an hour to get it from the queen.
The Queen likes Yun Zhi's embroidery work, but she can't ask someone to embroider when they meet for the first time, so the two can only talk about homework.
However, Yun Zhi had no experience in small talk in this area, and at the end of the day, he almost took the initiative to say to the queen, "Let me show you a bare-handed needle breaking..."
As long as he doesn't chat, it's not impossible for him to discuss even if his chest is broken.
Just when Yunzhi was thinking about juggling for the queen, Shi Qing could count on it.
The moment Yun Zhi sat on the embroidered pier and turned his head to look out at her, it was like a dog finally seeing its owner, its ears pricked up and its tail frantically flicked, even its eyes were bright.
If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Yun Zhi would have walked towards Shi Qing quickly.
A savior can be regarded as coming.
The emperor also asked the queen in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"
The queen replied softly, "Just talk about the men's affairs."
Who knew that the omnipotent topic he thought would no longer work with Yun Zhi.
Shi Qing sneered, took Yunzhi's hand and squeezed it lightly, and said to the emperor and queen, "Let's talk about business."
Talking about homework with Yunzhi is like asking Yunzhi to embroider flowers, with a painful face.
After talking about things, the queen took off a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Yunzhi, expressing her sincere love for him.
Now under the sun, Yunzhi put down his arm, played with the bracelet, and replied: "I like it very much, it feels very comfortable to touch."
He has no concept of jewelry, but thinks it should be very valuable.
Yun Zhi glanced at the bracelet, then at Shiqing beside him, whose skin looked fairer and more translucent under the sun, his eyes flickered.
He took a quick step, stopped in front of Shi Qing, and asked tentatively, "Does this look good?"
Yunzhi's skin is fair. Although the fresh temperament is suitable for green jade, it shouldn't be bad to wear warm suet jade.
Shi Qing nodded, "It's pretty."
Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and passed the bracelet over, "I'll wear it for you if it looks good."
There was no hesitation or reluctance.
Shi Qing was slightly startled, "Give it to me?"
Meeting her suspicious gaze, Yun Zhi rubbed his nose and said vaguely, "I don't seem to have given you anything."
He is poor.
Selling Yun Zhi would not be enough to buy anything that Shi Qing could fancy in the market.
Shi Qing looked down at the mutton fat jade bracelet in front of him and smiled, "This is a gift from the Queen."
She took the bracelet, took Yun Zhi's hand, and put the bracelet on his wrist, "It's not easy to give it away."
"Besides, who said you never gave me anything. When you and I first met, didn't you just give me one for signing?" Shi Qing looked at Yun Zhi with raised eyebrows.
Little liar, after going around and going around, it still fell into her hands!
"..."
Can't mention this matter, mentioning this matter will cause Yunzhi to have a heart attack.
Although at that time he wanted to cheat Shi Qing's money, it was not human affairs, but what Shi Qing did was a real dog.
It left an indelible shadow on Yun Zhi, who was setting up a stall for the first time to do business.
"By the way, I even gave you a litter of rabbits." Yun Zhi thought of something and was very proud.
Little Baiyun gets along very well with Gray Rabbit, and the older man who knows better in the yard said that there will be another litter of little rabbits soon.
Shi Qing looked forward to it, "One braised in red, one spicy, one steamed, and one charcoal grilled..."
Yun Zhi reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her waist.
Shi Qing immediately avoided with a smile, "I'm just kidding, don't eat or eat."
It's rare to be happy today. When she is in a good mood, she likes to see other people in a bad mood.
Simply this side is not far from the bedroom of the fifth emperor, Shi Qing intends to visit her.
Come all come.
She even prepared a gift for the fifth princess, so she had to find some excuse to visit her.
In the bedroom of the fifth emperor—
The fifth prince sat on the edge of the bed, flipping through the scriptures that the sixth prince sent her to relieve her boredom, while listening to the palace attendant.
What the palace attendant whispered in her ear was what happened in the Imperial Study Room today.
At this moment, the entire imperial palace probably knew that the emperor praised the sixth princess for her homework in front of the fourth princess, and even rewarded her with an ice bowl.
Although the Imperial Study Room is an important place in the palace, there are countless pairs of eyes watching every move in it, so it is not surprising that what happened in it will be spread out.
"Did Fourth Sister say something?" Fifth Imperial Girl asked softly.
The palace attendant shook his head, "It seems not."
The fifth princess smiled, and coughed twice because of the fluctuating breath.
It's normal not to speak.
Compared with the eighteen or nineteen-year-old sixth prince, the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old fourth prince is obviously more restrained and silent.
After all, in the harem, the fathers of the four emperors were inferior to the emperors, so it was right to talk less and do more.
Unlike the sixth princess, she can do whatever she wants without fear of making mistakes.
This is the gap brought about by innateness, and it is the existence that no matter how hard you try in the later stage, you may not be able to match it.
Just like today, the sixth princess just finished her ordinary homework, and she could get an ice bowl.
And what did the four princesses get for their hard work
This is the benefit of having a good father, the difference brought about by birth.
From the empress's point of view, the sixth child born to the empress's noble lord was considered a direct daughter, while she, the fourth child and other imperial daughters were nothing but courtiers who shared the concerns of the empress and the future new emperor.
The fifth emperor was in a good mood, and turned the page of the story book.
The more eccentric the empress is, the bigger the rumors outside, the better it is for her.
After all, only if her mind wavers, can she take advantage of it.
The good mood of the fifth emperor's daughter was maintained until a word came in from the palace outside, saying that it was Mrs. Shi who came.
"..."
