Chapter 15: Mocking
Even though Emperor Yan made it clear, Queen Wen didn't want to take advantage of him. She took over his words and complained, "How can your majesty be so silly? If it's not something important, just leave it to Shen Zhi."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. If you are tired, Wan'er can have lunch with me later." After receiving Queen Wen's good looks, Emperor Yan immediately stepped forward and led Queen Wen out of the Qinzheng Palace.
Yan Huai did not comment on his attitude of trying to make up for his mistakes at every opportunity, and bowed to Yuan Zhentian and said, "Grandpa Yuan, it's still early, why don't we go to the East Palace to have a cup of tea together?"
Yuan Zhentian didn't really want to go to the East Palace. The main reason was that his beloved grandson was already the crown prince who occupied the East Palace. If he kept close contact with the East Palace, he was afraid that someone would bring him to the court to sow discord between the Crown Prince and His Majesty. It was really
The gain outweighs the loss.
"Grandpa, would it be nice for grandpa to come to the East Palace to accompany Xinxin? My heart misses Grandpa so much." Yuan Yuan had been wronged one after another these past two days, and when he was relying on others in his heart, he wished that Yuan Zhentian could live directly in the East Palace.
"Grandpa Yuan, there is no need to worry too much. There is absolutely no one in the East Palace who dares to gossip." Yan Huai naturally understands Yuan Zhentian's concerns, but for him, it is not a difficult matter, and his relationship with Emperor Yan is not as normal as usual.
The monarch, ministers and father and son never need to walk on thin ice with fear.
"That's all. This old minister has nothing to offer, so he should indulge himself for once. He is just annoying His Highness." Yuan Zhentian said respectfully to Yan Huai, then took Yuan Yuan's little hand and followed Yan Huai back to the East Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, Yuan Yuan rushed straight to his bedroom like a wild horse, and soon came to the dining room with books in hand.
He came to Yuan Zhentian with the book as if he were offering a treasure, and said proudly, "Grandpa, I can read now! Grandpa, can I read it to you?"
Yuan Zhentian thought that Yan Huai sent the little girl to the Chinese Academy for fun, but he didn't expect that the little girl could still study? Well, it seems that the genes of their old Yuan family are still very good.
"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa from my heart." Yuan Zhentian touched the top of her head, pulled her to his side and sat down.
Yuan Yuan held up the textbook and read the Analects of Confucius crisply.
"The Master said: If you review the old and learn the new, you can become a teacher."
"The Master said: When three people travel together, they must have me as their teacher."
"Confucius said: Learning without thinking will lead to failure; thinking without learning will lead to peril."
After reading three sentences in a row, Yuan Yuan looked at Yuan Zhentian expectantly, waiting for his grandfather's praise.
Yuan Zhentian was overjoyed when he heard that his good grandson was studying for the first time. He felt that with his own level, it would be no problem to get the top prize.
"Xinxin is so awesome! It's so flattering to grandpa! Tell grandpa quickly, does Xinxin have anything else?"
Faced with Yuan Zhentian's high expectations, Yuan Yuan replied very honestly, "No, this is all the teacher taught me."
In order to learn these few sentences, Yuan Yuan had to pay great attention to the lecture before reluctantly memorizing it.
Yuan Zhentian thought that the little girl had only entered the Chinese Academy for a few days and could understand even though she had not learned much. So in order to encourage his good grandson to remember this knowledge, he asked Yuan Yuan to explain to him the meaning of these Analects.
Yuan Yuan did not expect that grandpa would actually ask her to explain the meaning of the words, and asked uncertainly, "Grandpa, wasn't that done by sir? I can only pronounce it."
"..." Yuan Zhentian silently withdrew the grand ambition that he had boasted about just now. As far as his family was concerned, he would not harm Chao Gang.
"Grandpa?" Yuan Zhentian's hesitant expression made Yuan Yuan wonder if he had pronounced it wrong.
Yuan Zhentian didn't want to dampen his sweet grandson's enthusiasm for learning, so he could only praise him, "It's great if Xinxin can read. Grandpa is very happy."
While the grandfather and grandson were reviewing their homework, Yan Huai finished his lunch quietly, and then invited Yuan Zhentian to the study to discuss strategies for leading the army.
Naturally, Yuan Yuan would not participate in their heavenly discussion. Qing Yi had improved a lot, and Yuan Yuan would not let go of her.
Xiao Dezi chasing the wind and picking mulberries and chrysanthemums were naturally not left behind. They were now playing "cat and mouse" in two pairs in the back garden.
As Yan Huai's most capable subordinate, Zhui Feng was naturally the hateful tabby cat in Yuan Yuan's eyes. In order to express her indignation, Zhui Feng specially drew a pair of whiskers on Zhui Feng's face.
"..." Zhui Feng was forced by his little ancestor's tendency to complain and add insult to injury, so he could only accept it calmly under the mocking expressions of Qing Yi and others.
Yuan Wan, as the cutest little mouse cub, naturally managed to escape the pursuit of the big tabby cat Chai Feng under the protection of everyone, and won the game.
The little girl was so happy that she started to laugh at the loser, "Zhui Feng, you have to practice hard. You are so bad that even I can't catch you. Be careful one day Yan Shenzhi doesn't want you."
Zhui Feng listened to his little ancestor's nonsense about running on the train, and with a thought in his mind, he pulled the person and flew directly to the tree, and then went straight back to the ground, leaving the little girl lying on the tree trunk with a confused face.
"Oh, Miss Xinxin, why did you run up the tree? Do you need any of your subordinates to pick you up?"
"Oh, look at this subordinate's memory. You are such a powerful person, why do you need help from me? I'd better just watch Miss Xinxin show off her power."
Zhui Feng and Qi Bian were so angry that Wan Wan screamed from the tree, "Stupid Zhui Feng! If you dare to put me up in the tree, I will ask Yan Shenzhi to slap you! Just wait!"
The little girl spoke harsh words to him in a high-spirited manner, and then carefully shrank her little body into the center of the tree trunk. It was obvious that the little girl was scared.
Unlike Zhui Feng and Xiao Dezi, Qing Yi was worried that his little ancestor would fall from the tree trunk, so he anxiously asked Zhui Feng to take him down, "Master Zhui Feng, now is the season when insects are growing, and there are many insects on the trees.
Caterpillar, if it bites Miss Xinxin, neither you nor I can afford it!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhui Feng, Miss Xinxin is just a little noisy. Why do you have to argue with Miss Xinxin?" Caisang also tried to persuade her, but the blame for Zhui Feng was more obvious in her words. Their lovely Miss Xinxin
If he bumps into me, I'll see if His Highness doesn't kill him!
Zhui Feng didn't want to argue with them, and his original intention was not to punish his little ancestor, but at most to scare her.
He used Qinggong to reach the tree. He was about to say something to comfort the little girl, but in the end, he saw that the big-hearted little girl had already fallen asleep hugging the tree trunk.
"..." The little ancestor has a big heart and is not afraid of turning over and falling from the tree and becoming a fool?
Seeing Zhui Feng carrying the little girl down, Qing Yi was about to speak out but was stopped by Xiao Dezi. The little girl didn't know what she was dreaming about, so she snorted, then waved her hand again, and slapped Zhui Feng on the face.
Qing Yi held back a smile and took the little girl from Zhui Feng's arms back to the dormitory, picking mulberries and chrysanthemums to follow quickly, but her ridicule towards Zhui Feng was not concealed at all.
Their little ancestor was a tiger, and he could punch Zhui Feng while he was asleep to avenge his death from being hung from a tree!
Xiao Dezi tossed his sleeves and followed him back to the study to wait on him. Zhui Feng could only grit his teeth and endure the little girl's plot. If he woke someone up, His Highness might not be able to escape during the beating.
