In fact, Fanfan only chose four companions at first, namely Qi Baizhou, Gu Zhanghua and the Du brothers. Wen Huaizhi was only appointed by the emperor after Wen Rutu's death.
In fact, this child is not suitable to be a companion to the East Palace.
Although Huaizhi is a good boy, his intelligence is mediocre. In order to keep up with his studies in the East Palace, he has to study extra hard. Unfortunately, this child has been weak since he was a child and gets sick frequently. How can he not fall behind in his studies? There are also martial arts classes, where he needs to learn fists and kicks.
, swords, horseback riding, bows and arrows, these cannot be made up for innate deficiencies by hard work.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor does not care about his academic performance as long as he does not hinder the prince. Therefore, the tutors, bachelors, and lecturers also turned a blind eye to this grandson of the Duke's family, and were suspicious of this talent.
Stay in the East Palace.
"Mother!" A voice like a silver bell sounded. Wen Xiaotu looked up and saw a girl in a plum red dress walking towards her with a smile like a charming flower.
Jin Shu blessed his body, "Mother, my son is so easy to find! Why do you keep coming to the school grounds these days?"
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought, of course he came here to admire the handsome young man and to be entertained!
Of course, she could never say this thought out loud, so she smiled and said, "Everything is fine, aren't you here too?"
Princess Jinshu tilted her head and smiled brightly.
When the five companions saw this, they all raised their hands and saluted, "I have met the second princess."
Jin Shu glanced at his bratty brother first, and hey, he's grown a lot taller! Then he looked at his companions, and they were all taller than each other! Only Huaizhi was still shorter than her as always.
Princess Jinshu immediately looked kind and said with a smile: "Cousin Huaizhi, I heard that you were ill a while ago. Are you feeling better now?"
The young man Wen Huaizhi was a little shy, but he was still polite and said, "Cousin, please take care of me. It's already fine."
The slender and handsome Qi Baizhou at the side joked: "The princess only remembers to care about her cousin's illness and doesn't ask her whether her foot injury has healed."
Qi Baizhou's mother, Princess Zhuang Yi, was the adopted daughter of the late emperor, so she was also his cousin.
Jin Shu raised her eyebrows and murmured in a low voice: "Who told you to be careless?"
Wen Xiaotu showed concern, "Sprained your foot?"
Jin Shu hurriedly said: "If I go back to my mother, it's because he stepped on the stirrup and fell off the horse. It doesn't matter, it's just that his ankle and neck have been swollen for a few days, and his skin and flesh are injured, but his muscles and bones are not injured."
Wen Xiaotu smiled and looked at the handsome young man. Looking at Ying Hui's smart appearance, he couldn't believe he was so careless, "I'll have to be more careful in the future."
Qi Baizhou quickly bowed: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
Saying that, Qi Baizhou secretly glanced at the pretty little princess and said, "Thank you for your concern, princess."
Jin Shu turned her head away and lifted the pebbles next to her with the toe of her shoe. She ignored Qi Baizhou, but stepped forward and grabbed Wen Xiaotu's lapel, and said coquettishly: "Mother, it's getting late, let's go back."
Wen Xiaotu looked at Qi Baizhou's gentle and jade-like face, suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."
Heqing Palace.
This child Porridge...maybe we can't regard her as a little girl.
Wen Xiaotu stepped back and asked softly: "That Qi Baizhou seems to be very familiar with you."
Jin Shu was playing with the flower branches in the pastel dendrobium. After hearing this, she paused with her hands. She thought about it for a while and then said, "That's because he is familiar with it."
Wen Xiaotu smiled, "But you're not angry either."
Jin Shu was stunned, "Why should I be angry?"
Wen Xiaotu pursed his lips and smiled. This child has a very arrogant temper. He often doesn't even give face to his own brother. He is often criticized by everyone in front of him and behind him. He is quite kind to Qi Baizhou.
Looking at Jin Shu's slightly confused look, Wen Xiaotu thought to himself, he is still too young, and now they are just childhood sweethearts at most. And Qi Baizhou is so handsome, whoever it is, his attitude will be a little more friendly.
"Mother, you are so strange today." Jin Shu looked puzzled.
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "You are still young, be happy and grow up slowly." - When he gets older, if he really takes his fancy, Qi Baizhou will be a good candidate for his consort.
However, she was unwilling to let her only daughter marry young, and she had to keep it until she was eighteen or nineteen.
"Mother, can it be convenient for my son to come in?" Prince Jingjun's voice sounded outside the study.
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said, "Come in."
Jingjun then pushed the door open and entered. When he saw that there were only his mother and second sister in the study, he bowed his hands, sat down and whispered, "Mother, have you taken a closer look today?"
Wen Xiaotu nodded. Last time she went to the school grounds, the emperor was by her side, so she couldn't take a closer look. This time, she took a closer look at everyone. It was a feast for the eyes.
Jing Jun showed a different smile, "Among my several companions, the most outstanding one is Qi Baizhou. Gu Zhanghua is also pretty good, but unfortunately they are both a bit inferior in appearance and family background." - As for the talented Du brothers from a humble family.
, obviously not within the scope of His Highness the Crown Prince’s consideration.
Yes, that child is like a bright moon, and the stars around him will naturally become eclipsed.
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "Just take your time and look at this matter. It's really too much to force yourself to hold this child hostage."
Jingjun sighed: "My father wanted to favor the Wen family, so he was appointed to the palace. But don't worry, I will take good care of Huaizhi."
Jin Shu, who was sitting on the small embroidered pier beside him, smiled and said, "Mother, I have always taken good care of my cousin Huai Zhi."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but touched his daughter's little head, "Qi Zhou is so good."
Suddenly, she suddenly thought of Huaizhi's shy look...
Immediately, she said sternly: "But you and Huaizhi are both young. Although this dynasty does not attach great importance to the defense of men and women, you, a princess, should not go to the East Palace easily and cause rumors. Huaizhi is in the East Palace.
, your brother will take care of it, you don’t need to worry."
After hearing this, Jin Shu said "Oh" in disgust.
Jing Jun smiled and said: "The second sister just takes care of him as a younger brother."
Wen Xiaotu looked at his daughter speechlessly: "Don't you have a younger brother?"
Jinshu's little face became even more depressed.
Jingjun's smile became even more unrestrained: "Because Gu, my younger brother, not only doesn't need my sister to take care of me, but he has been taking care of her."
Jin Shu's face instantly turned fierce and he glared at Jing Jun fiercely, "Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a mute!"
Wen Xiaotu touched his daughter's little head again. It turned out that she wanted to be a sister... But it happened to Jing Jun. This child didn't feel like a sister at all, but more like a younger sister.
After all, they are twins. There is a saying that the one born first is the smaller one.
"Mother, why don't you give me a sister as soon as possible!" Princess Jinshu snuggled up to Wen Xiaotu and started acting coquettishly again.
Wen Xiaotu was speechless, this child...
So he had to say: "Isn't there a second prince, a third princess and a fourth princess?" You have quite a few younger brothers and sisters too.
Jin Shu curled his lips, "How can they count?"
Yes, although Jinshu once rescued the third princess, it does not mean that she regards the third princess as a close relative. In her eyes, the princes and princesses born to other concubines may not be as good as her.
