Three days later, Murong Chengze went to Zishan Hall in the East Palace to accompany several princes to study.
He thought that the grand master would teach him something useful, but he didn't know that all he was taught were classics of poetry that he was familiar with and could even recite by heart.
In the past, he only felt that studying was hard and not as comfortable as practicing martial arts. But now when he looked at the few princes who were shaking their heads and reciting aloud, he realized that compared with the rigid teaching method of Zishantang, he was better at Taohua. How happy it was when I was on the island.
However, Murong Chengze's mind was far beyond that of his peers. Although he could memorize all the books he read, he still pretended to be ignorant in front of the Grand Master and followed through the morning classes. ?.?????.???
When the hall was open, many young princes and princesses who were curious about Zishan Hall came to look around, making the place lively.
If it had been in the past, no empress would have dared to let the prince and princess run around like this in the East Palace. However, since Murong Chengze frequently entered the palace, the official control of the harem and the inner court has been relaxed a lot. It seems that they intend to let the Prince of Yan and the Keep in touch with princes and princesses.
Huizong didn't have many other things, but he had too many heirs. In the eight years since he took office, he had eleven princes and seven princesses.
Among the four princes studying there, the biological mothers of King Zhao Kai of Jia and Prince Zhao Shu of Jian'an County were both royal concubines, and they were brothers of the same mother. Prince Ding Zhao Huan was also familiar with Prince Zhao Qi of Wen'an County. The four of them were divided into two factions. On the contrary, it was Murong Chengze who followed them. He seemed out of place, like an outsider.
Just as Murong Chengze was lying on his desk bored, a pleasant child's voice suddenly came from outside the window.
"Brother Chengze!"
Murong Chengze looked up and saw a small figure barely reaching the height of the window. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Princess Kangfu Zhao Fujin.
The little princess stood on tiptoes and climbed on the window sill with difficulty, saying hello to him.
Her delicate and cute little face was full of joy to see him, her big eyes were round and bright, and her eyelashes were very long, which made her eyes even clearer. Although Murong Chengze always thought that his sister was the cutest little girl in the world, But every time I see this Princess Kangfu, I still can't help but compare her with my sister, but the results are the same.
This is already a very high praise for him, a maniac who dotes on his sister.
"Little princess, why are you here?"
Murong Chengze only knew the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Deqing, Zhao Yupan, and the princess of Kangfu, Zhao Fujin. The two girls were older and younger. He found these titles troublesome, so he called them the eldest princess and the little princess.
Zhao Fujin didn't dare to go in. He first squatted down to take something, and then raised it above his head to show him.
"I heard that Brother Chengze is studying in the palace, so I brought some snacks for you to eat. Once you're full, you won't feel sleepy!"
Seeing her hard work on tiptoe, Murong Chengze quickly took a few pastries wrapped in a handkerchief, poked his head out and joked, "I'm here to study, why am I eating and sleeping at the same time?"
Zhao Fujin raised his little head and said with a serious expression, "My mother taught me to read before, but I got sleepy when I read, so I secretly hid a few cakes every time so that I wouldn't fall asleep while reading. !”
Murong Chengze couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but he couldn't live up to the little princess's kindness, so he thanked her, "It's okay if you don't tell me, little princess. I'm really tired after you say it. Thank you for today, little princess, otherwise I won't wait for you later." If I fall asleep while studying, I will get slapped by the Grand Master!"
When Zhao Fujin heard this, he was very happy. He really thought that he had helped a lot, and a trace of pride appeared on his face.
The two didn't chat for long. When the palace maid came to see him, Zhao Fujin had no choice but to say goodbye to Murong Chengze and then fled with small steps.
Murong Chengze took out a piece of pastry and tasted it. Although there were only a few scattered pieces and even a lot of them were crushed, to his surprise, he had a portion of each kind, and some of them were his favorites. , it can be seen that this little princess is really attentive.
After eating one piece, he was reluctant to eat any more. He wrapped the rest and put it in his arms, planning to taste it when he got back.
Seeing that the time for sitting in the hall was almost over, another weak and breathless female voice came from the window, "Brother Chengze..."
Murong Chengze heard this and went away, surprised and said, "Princess, why are you here too?"
The visitor was none other than the emperor's eldest daughter, Zhao Yupan.
Zhao Yupan originally had a happy face, but after hearing his words, he was obviously stunned for a moment and asked casually, "Here too? Has anyone else been here before?"
Murong Chengze felt that there was nothing wrong with telling the truth, but for some reason, he subconsciously chose to conceal it and hurriedly said, "No one has been here before, maybe you heard wrong!"
Zhao Yupan didn't think much, carefully took out a sachet and handed it to him.
"Brother Chengze, I heard that you are studying in the palace, and Yu'er doesn't know what I can do to help you, so I will give you this sachet!"
Murong Chengze looked at the beautifully embroidered sachet and subconsciously reached out to take it.
Zhao Yupan said, "There are many refreshing spices in this sachet. If brother Chengze feels sleepy after studying, he can smell this sachet."
Murong Chengze has something good in mind!
He has learned all the things taught by the Grand Master, and sometimes he almost falls asleep while reading. It would be great to have this sachet to refresh himself at the right time.
"The eldest princess is so considerate, she is really my timely gift! I will accept this generous gift!"
Seeing that he was very satisfied with the gift she gave, Zhao Yupan couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in her heart. The smile on her face became brighter and she said shyly, "It's not a big gift. Brother Chengze, just don't dislike it."
"The gift is not expensive, but if the princess has your heart, it is already a priceless treasure!"
Murong Chengze immediately smelled the sachet in his hand. It really had a refreshing effect, and he couldn't help but express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
However, when these words fell into Zhao Yupan's ears, she couldn't help but blush. Seeing that the grand master had already arrived, she didn't care about being shy, covered her face and ran away.
At the same time, she also remembered the words her mother said to her. Although she still couldn't quite understand the meaning, but every time she saw Brother Chengze, she always felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in her heart. .
After a boring day of accompanying students, Murong Chengze returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xiao Qi asked with concern about his experience in the palace today. Murong Chengze did not hide anything and even told him about the gifts that Zhao Yupan and Zhao Fujin had given him.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi, a mother-in-law, couldn't help but tease him a few words, but as she thought about it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
When will the princes and princesses in the inner court of the imperial palace be able to enter and leave the Zishan Hall in the East Palace at will?
At this moment, she thought about the affectionate attitude of Concubine Zheng and Concubine Liu Shu when she came into contact with them several times, and she couldn't help but guess something.
