He is a few months older than Brother Ting. He always regards himself as his elder brother and protects Brother Ting at all times.
Brother Ting was in trouble at this time. He was so frightened by Aunt Seventh's frozen look that his face turned pale and he unconsciously hid behind him.
He straightened his chest subconsciously, as if to protect Brother Ting: "Seventh Aunt, cousin Ting said the wrong thing, but he was kicked by cousin A Luo and hurt his butt. If Seventh Aunt,
If you're still angry, punish me!"
It's strange to say.
Brother Lin opened his mouth, and his expression softened when he saw the cold and sharp Seventh Aunt. He even smiled and turned to Chief Gu and said, "Brother Lin and his mother are really just like each other."
Isn't it?
That sense of righteousness, straightforwardness and bravery is exactly the same as that of Yin Xiaoxiao.
Gu Shanchang took one look and laughed: "Well, the children are still young, so it is inevitable to have quarrels. In the past, in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, little Bao'er jumped up and down, so don't make two or three quarrels every day."
It is natural for children to be noisy. The children in front of them are all A Luo's cousins. However, they have never been together in the same place, and they are not familiar with each other's temperament. They will be fine if they make a fuss a few times.
Xie Mingxi and Gu Shan smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Chief Gu wiped A'luo's tears and put A'luo down. Before Chief Gu could open his mouth to comfort, Xie Mingxi said lightly: "A'luo, did you kick Brother Ting just now?"
Ah Luo dared to take responsibility and responded loudly: "I kicked him."
Xie Mingxi looked slightly cold and glanced at A Luo: "Go and apologize to Brother Ting."
A Luo was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red with grievance.
She has grown up and has never been scolded by Xie Mingxi.
Gu Shanchang was also startled and looked at Xie Mingxi, who had a cold look on his face: "The noise between the children is just a trivial matter. There is no need to be so harsh on A Luo!"
Xie Mingxi could scold A'luo with a cold face, but she could only explain with a smile: "Master, A'luo has learned to read, and is no longer a child who doesn't understand everything. Brother Ting's words don't make sense, so she can refute.
But she shouldn't take action. If she doesn't teach her a lesson, she will become even more arrogant in the future."
How could Mr. Gu Shan not understand such a superficial truth? I just feel sorry for A Luo, and my heart is biased just a little... Okay, it's just a lot.
Gu Shanchang coughed and said in a warm voice: "Aluo, your mother is right. You go and accompany Brother Xiang Ting. Don't do anything again in the future."
A Luo had no choice but to step forward and apologize in a low voice: "Cousin Ting, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kicked you. However, if you say that again, I will still hit you."
Everyone: "..."
Xie Mingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said solemnly: "A Luo!"
A Luo bowed her head and apologized again, this time, the last sentence was omitted.
Brother Ting, like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted and said: "I also have something wrong. From now on, I will just stop talking nonsense."
Anyway, I just don't like reading with little girls.
I hate them all, Sister Qing, Sister Yun, Sister Yan.
Aunt Seven and the mountain chief are protecting A Luo, so I can't bully her. When those girls come, I will take care of them.
…
The quarrel among the children came to an end.
Chief Gu quickly stepped into the role of a master and began to teach children to read. With Chief Gu's erudition, it was no problem to enlighten several children in reading.
As for Brother Ji, he was shocked by Gu Shanchang's calligraphy as beautiful as a knife, and started practicing calligraphy with great joy.
Xie Mingxi stayed for a while and then returned to the main hall.
The female officials who were newly admitted to the palace were all gathered in one place to receive strict instructions on palace rules and etiquette, and were of no use for the time being. Xie Mingxi was also used to Xianghui Congyu, Fuyu and others serving as errands.
The female officials and chamberlains from all over the palace came to report the matter cautiously.
"To the Empress, the quotas for each palace will be distributed this month. This is the roster. Please take a look at it."
"To the Queen, Concubine Xian, Concubine Jing's illness has improved. Shouldn't the supplements she receives this month be reduced by 20%?"
"The Empress, Cining Palace..."
"The Empress, Concubine Mei..."
As the queen of the middle palace, being in charge of the sixth palace is not something you just talk about. Just like the mistress of the inner palace, she has to intervene and make decisions in everything. There are also Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Yu and a group of concubines above her head.
The emperor has no concubines. Otherwise, if there are a bunch of concubines or princes and princesses, everything will be complicated and a headache.
When Empress Dowager Yu was the empress and in charge of the harem, she always spent a lot of time and energy taking care of palace affairs every day. She had to fight with the concubines to compete for the emperor's favor, and she had to teach a bunch of concubine princes. It was laborious and energy-consuming, so there is no need to go into detail.
When we get to Xie Mingxi, things are much simpler.
She made the decision on major matters, and left trivial matters to Xianghui, Congyu and Fuyu.
Xianghui was originally an old man in the palace and was very familiar with palace affairs. Congyu Fuyu was not very smart, but he was extremely loyal to her and used her smoothly.
In the future, when the one hundred new female officers are assigned to various positions, Xie Mingxi will feel more relaxed.
"Empress Qi," the palace maid reported softly, "Empress Xiao and Princess Lu and Princess Fujian are together outside the palace asking for an audience."
…
The children have been making a fuss in the morning for an hour now.
All the serving maids in the Jiaofang Palace were carefully sorted out, and no one dared to send messages to outsiders. However, Brother Ji and the others had waiting staff around them. Seeing the mistresses getting into trouble, they felt uneasy and had to send messages back quietly.
.
After hearing the news, Xiao Yuhan and the others hurried over.
Xiao Yuhan was fine, Sister Fu did not cause trouble. Zhao Changqing was also calm, and Brother Ji did not have a direct dispute with A Luo. Only Yin Xiaoxiao had a headache thinking about Brother Ting and Brother Lin who had caused trouble.
"Seventh younger brother and sister, it's all my fault." Yin Xiaoxiao apologized with a wry smile: "Brother Ting is naughty, and Brother Lin is a few months older than him, and he is not a worry-free person. I didn't teach them well..."
"The children are still young, so it is inevitable to make noises." Xie Mingxi interrupted Yin Xiaoxiao with a smile: "Even if you want to apologize, I should be the one to accompany you to the fifth sister-in-law."
"Today it was Ah Luo who made a move and beat Brother Ting. Fifth sister-in-law, don't take it to heart."
Yin Xiaoxiao's full words were blocked by Xie Mingxi's smile.
Yin Xiaoxiao was moved and sad in her heart.
A Luo is the apple of the eye of the empress, and Brother Ting is the son of a rebellious minister. Although they have the same surname, Sheng, and are cousins, their identities are quite different.
Xie Mingxi didn't need to be reasonable at all, she could punish Brother Ting severely or send Brother Ting directly out of the study.
But Xie Mingxi didn't do this. Instead, she opened her mouth to comfort her.
Ultimately, it's about the friendship between them.
