When Xu Yin rushed to the capital, a carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
The little chamberlain came to greet him: "But Mr. Xue is here?"
A voice like an oriole coming out of the valley came from the carriage: "Yes, father-in-law, thank you for your work."
Immediately afterwards, the maid helped a young woman get out of the car. Her face was lightly pink, her bun was loosely tied, and she was elegant and dignified, with a vaguely romantic attitude.
The guard on duty was already stunned, but the young chamberlain handed over the token and finally came to his senses. He pretended to cough, looked at the token, and took a peek.
"It turns out they are from Yongshou Palace. This is Princess Changning's new teaching, right? The higher-ups have already explained it, please."
"Thank you, Sir." Xue Ru bowed his knees and bowed his head slightly, revealing the beautiful side of his neck.
The guard turned his head quickly, not daring to look.
Xue Ru followed the young chamberlain and walked to the harem.
The little chambermaid received an errand from her master for the first time. She was very excited and kept talking to her: "Is this your first time in the palace, Xue? Our princess has a lively temperament and may seem a bit unruly, but she is actually very nice. As long as you treat her sincerely.
Princess, princess will reciprocate love..."
Xue Ruhan listened with a smile, nodded from time to time, and finally thanked: "Thank you very much, father-in-law for the photo."
Then he gently stuffed the prepared red envelope into his sleeve.
The little chamberlain was startled and didn't know whether to accept it or not. Xue Ru had already said, "Before I came here, I asked you about the rules. Did you do something wrong?"
When she asked this question, the waiter relaxed and accepted the situation smoothly, and replied: "You're welcome, Mr. Xue..."
I thought to myself, no wonder I found such a master for the princess. Although Mr. Xue was from the Jiaofang Division, he was well-founded and not inferior to those noble ladies.
Xue Ru saw his reaction in her eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened and became meaningful.
She looked at the splendid palace under the sun and remembered the scene in the courtyard that day.
"What? I'm going to teach Princess Chang Ning? This..."
"Why, you don't want to?" The man in the main seat glanced over slightly.
Xue Ru quickly denied: "Of course I am willing, but... with my status, how can I enter the palace..." After saying this, her voice already sounded timid.
No matter how arrogant and domineering she is outside, she always feels inferior to her background in her heart. Born in Jiaofangsi, even though she eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, wears silks and satins, and is held high by those men, when it comes to marriage, they will
Change your face. They would rather marry a village girl, and it would be a shame to take her as a concubine.
How could a "filthy and lowly" person like her teach the most noble princess? Will the superior masters in the imperial city allow it?
"Why not?" The man chuckled softly, "Although Mr. Xue is in the Jiaofang Division, he has always been clean and self-respecting. You are a geisha famous for her pipa skills, not one of those prostitutes who serve others with sex. Don't do it.
Be humble and humble yourself."
When he said the last four words, the man's eyes had turned cold.
Xue Ru shuddered. A long time ago, the master deliberately promoted her reputation and even invited famous scholars to write poems and lyrics for her. Therefore, Master Xue is not her own. She depreciates herself like this.
It's in the works of The Bad Master.
Wanting to understand this, Xue Ru still had the slightest doubt and replied humbly: "Yes, I am willing to enter the palace and teach Princess Changning music theory."
The man nodded with satisfaction, and then handed her a copy of the imperial edict: "Don't you hate Miss Xu San to the core? It won't be long before your enemy is here. Aren't you happy to have the opportunity to take revenge?"
Xue Ru saw the words above clearly and couldn't help being shocked and angry: "Does your Majesty want to reward her? Why!"
"On her own account, she killed Wu Zijing." The man said calmly, "Wu Zijing was so rebellious that he established himself as the King of Liang and sent troops to seize Yongcheng. He didn't take the court seriously at all. If it were a man, this contribution would be enough to make him a marquis."
Some people said that the previous reward given to Xu Huan was too light. Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, as long as Xu Huan performed well in the future, he would most likely be made military commander. By that time, the entire Chu region would have the surname Xu.
Shouldn't such merit be rewarded? It would be a good thing for his daughter to share the credit.
"Don't be unhappy, doesn't this give you a chance?" The man smiled half-heartedly, "If she doesn't come to the capital, you can't do anything about her, and the losses you suffered before will be in vain. Now that she's here, the capital is ours.
Wouldn't it be easier to clean up her territory?"
Xue Ru's face improved and she looked at him expectantly: "Master, how are we going to deal with her?"
The man did not answer immediately, but slowly drank a few sips of tea before speaking again: "Doesn't this give you a chance? Serve Princess Changning well, if you want revenge."
…
"Everyone Xue, we're here."
Xue Ru withdrew his mind and looked at the Yongshou Palace in front of him.
Princess Changning and the Crown Prince share the same mother, and are the emperor's only legitimate daughters. After the queen died of illness, the emperor missed his first wife and doted on both his son and daughter. As long as she gained Princess Changning's trust...
Before anyone could see it, laughter and laughter could already be heard inside.
"Come on, come on! Pass the ball!"
Xue Ru walked in slowly and saw a group of girls in narrow-sleeved Hu clothes, chasing the ball on the wide grass. The one surrounded in the middle was Princess Changning.
The fourteen-year-old girl still retains the innocence of a child, with a smile on her pretty face.
So delicate and elegant, it reminded Xue Ru of Miss Xu San.
Only a delicate girl who is born without knowing the sufferings of the world and is held in someone's hands can have such a smile, right? It really makes people jealous...
The kick hit the goal, and the palace maids who accompanied her surrounded Princess Changning and cheered, making everyone smile.
Xue Ru waited for a while, and Princess Changning finally came out of the stadium. The maids passed handkerchiefs to each other, and tea was served to them. Then the nurturing aunt came forward and reported a few words to her.
Princess Changning muttered something and seemed to be complaining. Then she was persuaded by her aunt to stop her and look towards her.
"Master Xue, the princess invites you." The young chamberlain came over to announce the invitation.
Xue Ru hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "My humble concubine Xue Ru, please see Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Changning looked her up and down and said critically: "Concubine Xian said she found a good master for me, but I don't think she's too good at all!"
Xue Ru couldn't refute such words, but fortunately her aunt came to the rescue: "Xue's pipa is very good. The talented Wang Bin has a poem about her. Does the princess still remember it?"
Princess Changning said "Oh": "It turns out that Mr. Xue is you!"
The conversation finally became normal. Xue Ru breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "I don't dare to call you everyone, I only know a little bit."
"You know a little bit?" Princess Changning sneered, "You are qualified to teach me?"
