In the Royal Academy, other royal descendants were fighting outside the yard, Xie Shizi sat silently under the corridor, his eyes were blank.
"Xie Shizi." A distant relative of the royal family walked in front of him, "In the afternoon we are going to the martial arts training ground to learn horseback archery. I heard that General Wei will come to teach us, will you go?"
Xie Shizi's riding and archery skills are very poor, and he doesn't like to learn them. But after entering the Royal Academy, he found that these imperial relatives in the capital were able to do some martial arts, and even took pride in both civil and military skills. Among them, there is a little prince who has learned a good swordsmanship and is very popular in the school.
"Go." Xie Shizi knew that he couldn't be willful, and he didn't know what else he could do except try to make himself look gregarious.
Although other people in the school were polite to him on the surface, he could see that most of them did not dare to interact closely with him. This is the first time he has experienced the warmth and warmth of human relationships, as well as the hypocrisy of the royal family and relatives.
During lunch, the others gathered together in twos and threes, holding the food box and laughing. He sat in the corner, worrying about his parents who were under house arrest and the second sister who was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison. .
"Have you heard? Not only will General Wei come back to the martial arts field this afternoon, but the crown prince and several princes will also come." A young boy said, "I heard that the fourth prince and the fifth prince are going to confer a title and build a mansion, and they need some peers to do two things. A deputy of the prince, His Royal Highness came to choose for the two princes."
Although some of them are closely related to the royal family, they are distant relatives of the family who are not very prominent. It is a good way to find a job in the princely mansion.
The deputy of the two princes was chosen by the prince, which shows that His Majesty trusts and values the prince.
Xie Shizi feared the prince more than respect, and was afraid because of his guilty conscience. As long as he thought that the prince was almost killed by the second sister, he couldn't raise his head in front of the prince.
He suddenly regretted that he should not have agreed to go to the martial arts field in the afternoon if he had known that the prince would come. It's a pity that with his current situation, if he really doesn't go, he will have ulterior motives in the eyes of others.
No wonder someone took the initiative to invite him to the martial arts field. It turned out that they knew that the prince would come and called him there just to see a joke.
Xie Shizi wished that the lunch break would be longer and longer, but no matter how unwilling he was, he finally stood on the martial arts field.
Bow, he can't draw it.
Sword, he can't dance.
He couldn't even practice the most basic physical strength boxing.
He knew that the people next to him were secretly laughing at him, but he had no scruples about them, just prayed secretly in his heart that the prince would not come over.
He was so restless on his horse that he didn't even hold the reins. With a scream, he realized that the horse he was riding seemed to have suddenly gone mad.
How can these docile horses suddenly go crazy
Someone wants him dead
who? !
Prince or Huajia? !
The horse tossed him around, and Xie Shizi felt sick to the point of vomiting. Just when he finally couldn't hold the reins and was about to fall off the horse, a man came galloping on his horse and picked him up from the air.
"Xie Shizi, are you okay?"
He was put down by this man, and he could see the appearance of the person who came.
It was... General Wei Mingyue, whom my mother disliked very much.
Did she save him
Thinking that he was still doubting the Hua family just now, Xie Shizi only felt ashamed and blushed: "Thank you General Wei for saving your life."
"This horse has a fever." Wei Mingyue frowned, "Who is the official in charge of these horses, why hasn't the horse been found out?!"
The grooms turned pale with fright. These horses are exclusively used by the royal family and relatives, and no one can afford it if something goes wrong. Every day they carefully select these horses, how could a sick horse be mixed in today
"Call everyone here." Wei Mingyue threw the whip in his hand and sneered, "Do you dare to take the safety of the royal family and relatives to heart, what else is there to dare to do?"
When the officials in charge of the martial arts field saw Wei Mingyue's anger, they all kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Those royal juniors all looked at Wei Mingyue with admiration, General Wei was very imposing.
"Mother, what happened?" Hua Liuli walked into the performance field and saw her mother's face was ugly. A little eunuch next to him supported Xie Shizi, who was unsteady, and the officer in the performance field knelt on the ground, realizing that the performance field was ugly. Something may have happened.
"Why are you here?" Wei Mingyue was helpless and funny when she saw the prince brought Hua Liuli over. The prince came today to choose the deputy of the palace for the two princes, and called Liuli together, in order to let the princes adapt to Liuli in advance The Queen's Wife
Hua Liuli pleases with a smile: "My daughter accompanies His Highness to come and have a look."
She doesn't like to interfere in the private affairs of the younger generation, so she doesn't care about the way her daughter and the prince get along. She bowed to the prince: "His Royal Highness, the sick horse in the martial arts field almost injured Xie Shizi."
How can there be a Crazy Horse in the Royal Arena
The prince and Hua Liuli exchanged glances, there must be a conspiracy.
If Xie Shizi fell seriously and was seriously injured, those in the capital who liked to think more about the style of the aristocratic families, most of the blame would fall on the crown prince or the Hua family.
Early or late, why did Xie Shizi fall as soon as they came here
That must be deliberately bullying people.
Some people just like to be unreasonable and unprincipled to sympathize with the weak, so that they can show their kindness that has nowhere to go.
Fortunately, my mother arrived in time and rescued Xie Shizi.
This turned into General Wei letting go of the grievances of the previous generation and bravely saving the enemy's son in times of crisis. The daughter of the Xie family wanted to hire a killer to kill her, but her mother repaid her grievance with virtue and saved the children of Princess Leyang. What kind of noble sentiment and morality is this
It deserves all the praise and praise!
I don't know if the person who designed this thing will be pissed off
Of course, it would be better to be pissed off.
Without saying a word, the prince called Jin Jiawei to take away all these little officials and handed them over to Dali Temple for questioning one by one.
"Guo's purpose for coming today must be clear to everyone here." The prince sat on the carved chair and looked at the royal family.
After speaking, he turned his head to look at his two younger brothers: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you can choose by yourself."
Royal family: "… "
How can I feel like a radish in the field, waiting for the rabbit to pick it up.
The fourth prince raised his eyelids and lowered them quickly: "It's all up to the prince."
"Since the fourth brother doesn't have any requirements, it can only be picked for you by Gulai." The prince swept over the faces of everyone, and ordered a few outstanding young men, "Which of you is good at communicating with people?"
The clan's children are a little dazed, what is the standard for being good at communicating with people
"Gu's fourth brother doesn't want to interact with people on weekdays, and he doesn't like to talk to people. Gu wants to pick two lively and articulate people for him." The prince pointed to one of them, "Gu see you are very clever, go , stand behind the Fourth Prince."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." The person who was picked out by the Prince greeted the Fourth Prince with a smile on his face, "The student has seen His Highness the Fourth Prince."
"Yeah." The Fourth Prince refused to speak.
He has an impression of this clan son, his family background is innocent, and he has nothing to do with other forces, but... noisy.
A man who doesn't like to talk, he really doesn't want to have two subordinates who talk too much.
But can the prince do what he wants
Of course not.
Not only did he pick two more deputies for the fourth prince, but each deputy was a talkative one.
The fourth prince couldn't help but suspect that the prince was avenging the fact that he ignored the prince back then.
At that time, the prince was only a few years old, and he took the initiative to talk to him, but after he was too lazy to speak, the prince never took the initiative to talk to him again. They had been in peace all these years, and he thought that the prince had long forgotten about his childhood. .
He didn't expect to be here waiting for him.
"Prince third brother." Since the Night Banquet of Hundred Nations, the fifth prince has become very close to the prince. Seeing that the prince has helped the fourth brother choose a deputy, he quickly put forward his requirements for the deputy, "I want a few who are good at painting, People who know how to draw.”
The prince turned his head and glanced at him, and was silent for a moment suspiciously: "Okay."
But the descendants of the clan found that of the four deputies chosen by the Crown Prince for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, only two were good at painting, and the other two had the greatest strengths... that was to speak sweet words, making people smile.
No matter what the specialties of the eight people selected by the prince, they all have one thing in common, that is, their family background is innocent, and there are no elders with extreme personalities and clear positions in the family.
None of these clan families are biased towards the prince.
Wei Mingyue glanced at the prince with admiration, no wonder the heir to the throne in His Majesty's heart has never wavered, because governing the country requires people with a heart.
There is no perfect person in the world, nor is there a perfect emperor, but the prince has the qualities of a good emperor.
After the prince chose his deputy for the two princes, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he showed off his horsemanship, archery and swordsmanship in front of the children of the clan, and he had a good sense of presence in front of his future mother-in-law, so he was polite and polite. Say goodbye politely.
Wei Mingyue said with a gentle expression: "His Royal Highness, walk slowly."
Hua Liuli looked at the prince, then at Wei Mingyue, and smiled cutely: "Mother, my daughter will stay here with you."
"The martial arts field is dusty and you are not in good health. If you stay here for a long time, you will cough." Wei Mingyue didn't want to disturb her plan to cut water and cabbage, so she smiled at the prince, "I'll ask Your Highness to take care of the little girl."
"I'm so happy." The prince observed the look in his future mother-in-law's eyes, and his heart was settled. It seemed that the mother-in-law was still very satisfied with him.
Hua Liuli smiled and pulled the prince away from the martial arts field, and asked curiously, "His Royal Highness, why did you choose a good deputy for the fourth prince?"
"I'm worried that the fourth brother will stay silent all day long, which is not good for his health." The prince showed a gentle smile, "It's also a good thing for him to have a few deputies who like to laugh."
"So that's the case." Hua Liuli sighed, "His Royal Highness is so kind to several princes."
His Royal Highness is so good, and Wenchen often picks on His Highness's mistakes from time to time.
Her Royal Highness, how many grievances have she suffered since she was a child
Thinking of this, Hua Liuli held the prince's hand distressedly: "Don't be so nice in the future."
The prince showed a tolerant smile: "They will understand my painstaking efforts in the future."
The fourth brother ignored him in the past, but now he wants the fourth brother to be annoyed and weep bitterly.
"If they are not obedient in the future, I will help you teach them together." Hua Liuli said, "You are the prince, if other princes have done something wrong, they should be taught a lesson, and don't keep letting them."
"The county master." The eunuch in the East Palace said: "Please forgive the slave and maid for the courage to interject a few words. His Royal Highness has suffered a lot of grievances over the years."
"Don't talk nonsense." The prince interrupted the accompanying eunuch, "What do these servants know?"
"Although slaves don't understand, slaves have eyes." The eunuch accompanying him said, "The grievances you have suffered make slaves feel distressed, not to mention the princess..."
"Since you know that the county master knows it will be uncomfortable, don't mention it." The prince said with a cold face, "Go down and get ten boards by yourself. If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, don't stay in the East Palace to serve."
Although the accompanying eunuch did not say what wronged the prince had suffered before, it was enough that Hua Liuli felt distressed, she held the prince's hand tightly, and she would be better to the prince in the future.
I can't let him suffer like this any longer.
Hearing that the prince had chosen a deputy for the prince, Concubine Lin specially invited the fourth prince to ask him who the prince had chosen.
The fourth prince raised his chin and motioned for his personal eunuch to answer.
After the eunuch beside the Fourth Prince finished speaking the names of these people, Concubine Lin nodded slowly and said, "Although these people's identities are not as good as I expected, they are not from the Prince's side. I know that the Prince No matter how daring you are, you wouldn't dare to put eyeliner beside you under your father's eyelids."
It's a pity that His Majesty won't let her intervene in this matter, otherwise the person she picks out will definitely be better than the one chosen by the prince.
The fourth prince glanced at Concubine Lin, and suddenly waved his hand to make all the palace servants in the room retreat: "Mother concubine, my son has something to say."
It was rare to see her son take the initiative to talk to her, so Concubine Lin let these people back without even thinking about it.
"Mother concubine, on the night of the Hundred State Banquet, something happened to the prince in the apse, do you know?" The fourth prince looked at Concubine Lin, not wanting to miss the expression on her face.
Concubine Lin looked calm: "What are you talking about?"
"My son just wants to persuade you to rein in your horse, the Crown Prince..." The fourth prince frowned, "It is natural for you to hold grudges, don't do something irreversible."
"Mother's concubine knows." Lin Concubine said with a stern face, "You need to please your father and emperor, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
The fourth prince frowned: "Mother concubine, the father is a wise monarch, and he treats his sons and ministers very well."
He doesn't like to talk, his father never persecuted him, he usually rewards other brothers with something, and he never forgets his share.
Nor did he dislike him at all because of his gloomy personality.
"Okay?" Concubine Lin's tone was suddenly sharp, "Is it good for the prince?!"
She entered the palace in the same year as Concubine Hui, and His Majesty treated Concubine Hui only mediocrely. When the prince was born, his health was not very good. She really couldn't understand why His Majesty liked this sick son the most.
In terms of appearance, Concubine Hui can't compare to her. In terms of talent, Concubine Hui is not as good as her, so why does His Majesty favor the child she gave birth to
"Mother concubine." The fourth prince looked at Concubine Lin with gloomy eyes: "The prince is better-looking than Erchen."
Concubine Lin: "..."
The fourth prince continued: "The prince has been more liked by his father than his ministers since he was a child."
Concubine Lin: "..."
The fourth prince is serious: "The father is very good to the son, and the prince is better, isn't it normal?"
Concubine Lin took a deep breath and reminded herself not to be angry.
Angry makes you grow old.
"Why did Ben Gong give birth to a son like you?!"
"You asked this question fourteen years ago." The fourth prince looked at Concubine Lin with dark pupils, "I don't know either."
Concubine Lin was startled. Fourteen years ago, he was only three years old. How could he remember the words she complained about in private? !
The author has something to say: Fourth Prince: This is revenge, the most malicious revenge.
Eunuch of the East Palace: Acting is an essential skill for our servants of the East Palace.
