Genius·86()
By the time the prince came to his senses, the little girl had long since disappeared from the school entrance.
The taciturn boy who was following her quickly ran in after her.
He was stunned, and subconsciously turned around to look around him. Only the guards who escorted him out of the palace to go to school were tall and strong, with sharp eyes. Could it be that these guards scared Shan Shan?
The prince was puzzled.
He raised his feet and walked inside, only to see the little girl running very fast, and no one could be seen anywhere as far as the naked eye could see. Seeing that the first morning class was about to begin, he could only regretfully suppress his thoughts for the time being and walk to the teaching building where his class was located.
But he had something hidden in his mind, and he wasn't as attentive as usual in class.
"Your Highness?" Qi Yun was sitting next to him. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him. When the Master turned around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Your Highness is distracted today. Could it be that he is worried about the Zheng family's affairs?"
The prince shook his head slightly.
Although the two of them are not very old, they are not too young at fifteen. Not to mention that the prince has been appointed as the crown prince since he was a child and has been tutored. Qi Yun will soon take the exam to become an official, so he naturally pays a lot of attention to government affairs. In the past two days, the biggest thing that happened in Beijing was the Zheng family.
After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the Zheng family, which was once prosperous in Beijing, suddenly fell. Zheng Rong was sent to Yuezhou. Concubine Zheng was demoted in rank, and palace affairs were handed over to the female officials around the Queen Mother. It was no different from being in the cold palace. It was expected that within a few days, he would quietly disappear from the palace.
In just one day, the situation in Beijing has changed dramatically. People who used to be good friends with the Zheng family want to put aside their relationship completely for fear of being implicated. Apart from this, the one who attracted the most attention was the prince.
The prince came to the school today and attracted many looks that he thought were hidden.
The prince lost his mother when he was young, and his mother's family had already been defeated. Concubine Zheng was kind to the prince in educating him. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, the Zheng family would also be a great help to the prince. The emperor suddenly dealt with the Zheng family, which undoubtedly broke the prince's arm.
Although it is not obvious on the surface, everyone has figured out many secrets in their minds.
The prince was much more relaxed than they thought.
After the birthday banquet, he was also shocked. But the emperor had explained everything to him in detail.
As a minister, Zheng Rong acted against the emperor's trust, which was a big taboo. Even if he was spared this time, he would not be trusted again in the future. And his relationship with Concubine Zheng was not deep. The Queen Mother Xu had long been worried about her, and took him under her wing to educate him personally when he was young. Although the Zheng family lost power, although he was sad, he didn't feel too much.
The emperor also told him that Shanshan was his sister.
A kind mother is the person in the beauty picture.
It's just that due to old things in the past, we still can't recognize each other now. He went to school with Shanshan, and the emperor asked him to take good care of Shanshan in private.
The prince had long had a crush on the little girl, and now that he knew that she was really his sister, he agreed even more.
Unexpectedly, when we met today, the little girl ran faster than a rabbit when she saw him.
The prince glanced at the master. Mr. He was answering questions in front of another student. He also leaned towards Qi Yun and asked in a low voice: "What does your sister like?"
"What?" Qi Yun didn't react for a moment.
"What I'm asking about is Shanshan." The prince asked enthusiastically: "What does she like in daily life? But does she like reading? How about music theory? Or is she better at bowing and horseback riding?"
Qi Yun thought for a while: "I should know a little bit about it."
The prince frowned: "Should?"
"I don't like them all." Qi Yun had no choice but to change his words: "She often visits Zhenbaozhai and likes to eat Baozhizhai's snacks. She learns her homework well, but she is neither good at music theory nor archery. Your Highness, what are you asking about this? ?”
"anything else?"
Qi Yun looked back at the Master again, but Mr. He still had his back to them. He was puzzled: "What else?"
The prince said patiently: "There are thousands of wonderful things in Zhenbaozhai. What kind does she like? Does she like salty or sweet snacks? Cakes or glutinous rice balls?"
"..."
After waiting for a long time for an answer, the prince looked at him disapprovingly: "Qi Yun, as an elder brother, why don't you even understand this?"
"..."
Qi Yun thought silently in his heart: Not to mention that Aunt Qing had not stayed at home for a few days, but he knew what relationship his sister had with His Highness the Crown Prince?
It's just that these words were difficult to say. Mr. He had already answered the student's doubts and turned around and walked over. Passing by the two of them, he rolled up the book in his hand and hit him on the head. Qi Yun took a breath of cold air and sat down properly.
Noon.
The servants of the family brought meals.
As soon as Master Liu said get out of class was over, the children in the classroom jumped up from their seats impatiently.
Shanshan was slowly arranging the desk. When Wen Jiahe came to look for her, she quickly sped up her movements.
Shitou had already gone ahead to fetch lunch. Today, the chef at home is still showing off his skills, and with the addition of the chef from the General's Mansion, a table full of delicacies is laid out.
"Shanshan, I originally wanted to go to your house to find you yesterday, but my mother said you were fine and reassured me." Wen Jiahe couldn't help but asked: "At the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandmother, you and your mother were called out, Your Majesty Is it really not difficult for you?"
Shanshan picked up a piece of chicken wing and said absently: "I only saw the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother invited me to have snacks, talked to me for a while, and then let my mother and I come back."
"Grandma Huang?" Wen Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I've told you before that Grandma Huang is a very nice person. She must like you very much."
It's okay if she didn't say it. When she said this, Shanshan was immediately startled.
She didn't even bother to eat, and said in a hurry: "Then it's better not to like me."
"Why?"
Because now she knows for the first time that being liked by others is not always a good thing!
Her mother liked her and would kiss her and hug her, but if the emperor and the queen mother liked her, they would take her into the palace and treat her as a little maid. Shanshan wanted to be with her mother every day and did not want to be separated from her. I don’t even want to be a little palace maid.
She usually loves to be close to others and wishes to be good to everyone, but this time she was afraid that others might like her in the slightest. Not to mention the emperor and the queen mother, even if they saw the prince, they would not dare to approach him.
His Royal Highness is also a noble person in the palace.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "Jiahe, Shanshan."
When everyone heard the sound and looked back, they saw the prince and Qi Yun walking together. He was smiling and holding a food box in his hand. A scent wafts out from the cracks in the food box.
"Brother Prince." Wen Jiahe saw him and greeted him obediently: "Why are you here?"
"I came to have lunch with you."
The prince walked to their table and put down the food box in his hand. He smiled and finished talking to Wen Jiahe. He turned around and was about to say hello to the little girl. In the blink of an eye, the little girl who was sitting there disappeared. .
He wondered: "Shan Shan?"
The other two people also noticed something was wrong.
Wen Jiahe quickly turned his head, and the place next to him suddenly became empty. Shitou also stopped using his chopsticks and looked under the table. She looked down and saw Shan Shan had slipped under the table at some point, huddled up pitifully.
"Shanshan?!" Wen Jiahe was shocked and quickly bent down to pull her up. But when she pulled, it didn't pull. She held her head and dug deeper into the table.
Wen Jiahe was confused: "Shanshan, what's wrong with you?"
Shanshan was afraid that he would be discovered, so he raised his finger in front of his mouth and made a shushing gesture.
But the prince had already discovered her.
He bent down and looked at the little girl hiding under the table. When their eyes met, Shanshan opened his eyes wide in horror and hurriedly hid to the other side. The back and the back of the head.
Is he hated?
The prince was slightly startled. At this age, it was the first time that he met someone who hated him, and this person was his sister.
He hesitated and said: "Shanshan, are you afraid of being alone?"
"Your Highness." Qi Yun said quickly: "Shan Shan is young, so he was not intentionally rude. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."
The prince waved his hand.
He straightened up, took out today's snacks from the food box, put them on the table, and said, "I heard that you like snacks. The snacks made by the royal chef in the palace are pretty good, you might like them."
Having said that, he didn't stay much longer for fear of scaring the little girl. He glanced regretfully under the table before taking Qi Yun away.
Not to mention Qi Yun, even Wen Jiahe was shocked.
The footsteps walked away, and until nothing could be heard anymore, Shanshan poked his head out from under the table: "Brother Shitou, has anyone left?"
"gone."
She breathed a sigh of relief and crawled out from under the table.
"Shanshan, why are you hiding from the prince brother?" Wen Jiahe looked down at the snacks, then looked up at his good friend, and said incredulously: "When did you and the prince brother become so familiar?"
"I don't." Shanshan said in a panic, "I have nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wen Jiahe pointed to the snacks on the table: "Then why does the prince brother give you snacks?"
Shanshan doesn’t know either!
She and Wen Jiahe looked at each other.
She did not dare to touch the snacks given by His Highness the Prince, so she asked Wen Jiahe to help her eat them. Although Wen Jiahe didn't know what happened, he cooperated and gave her today's snacks.
They are both royal chefs in the palace, and their craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation, and the taste is not much different.
After lunch, there was a riding and shooting lesson in the afternoon.
A group of little carrot heads changed out of their school uniforms of blue gowns and put on shorts suitable for activities. It's just that they are still too young. People of Shanshan's age can't even walk steadily, let alone ride horses and shoot arrows. The master who teaches martial arts doesn't force them. He only lets them move their bodies to strengthen their bodies, and the remaining time will be enough. Let them play with it.
Shanshan fell in love with this class the least. She wished she could rest lazily all day long and wanted someone to carry her when she walked. The master taught them how to move their bodies, and after a few flutters of their hands and feet, she was exhausted and sweating profusely. When the master finished speaking, she quickly found a place under the shade of a tree to rest.
She took out the unfinished lunch snack from her arms, and then looked to the other side of the field. Today there were students from other classes taking riding and archery classes together. They were much older than them and could already bend a bow and ride a horse. Shanshan looked at them from a distance, as if he were watching a clumsy martial artist on the stage.
She leaned against the tree, crossed her little feet, ate snacks, and shook her head, feeling very happy.
Wen Jiahe and Shitou were sitting next to her. For the first time, Shitou's attention was not on the snacks, but on the students crouching in the distance.
Shanshan could tell at a glance, "Brother Shitou, do you also want to learn?"
Shitou nodded silently.
Contrary to Shanshan, he was not good at words and was taught by Master Liu every now and then. However, he knew a few things and Master Wu praised him every day.
Wen Jiahe said: "Just tell the master and let you go and learn with them."
Shitou's eyes lit up and he hesitated: "This is not good."
"What's wrong? My father said that I should learn martial arts as early as possible, and he often urged me to keep fit. He also said that it would be a great thing if our school could have more generals who can protect our family and the country in the future. Woolen cloth!"
"but……"
Shanshan immediately said: "Brother Shitou, let me tell you."
After saying that, she stood up quickly and ran to find her husband.
From a distance, I saw what she was saying to Wu Fuzi, who looked over here. Shitou suddenly sat upright.
Shan Shan waved to him from a distance, his stone eyes bright, and then he ran over quickly.
Master Wu took him to talk to the master on the other side of the field, and soon Shitou also joined them. He was tall, so he didn't stand out among those people.
Shanshan ran back and took Wen Jiahe to sit very close to him in the next class's area, looking at him with bright eyes.
Shitou also noticed her gaze, curved his lips, and gave her a shy smile. Then he picked up the long bow in his hand, holding the bow with one hand and pulling the string with the other. He was born with supernatural power, and he had sold his strength to earn money in the past. Now with a little effort, he could easily draw the long bow.
Shanshan said "Wow" and was even happier than when he saw Sun Wukong in the theater. He clapped his palms red with excitement.
Wen Jiahe had only known him as the brother of his good friend, and he had always been inconspicuous. This was the first time he saw his abilities, and he was shocked: "Why is he so powerful?!"
Shanshan was even happier than he was praised, and said proudly: "Brother Shitou is very powerful!"
"Is this the first time he has encountered a bow?"
"yes!"
Shitou took out another bow and arrow from his quiver, put it on the string, and pointed the sharp arrow tip at the straw target in the distance. His face was calm, his gray eyes staring intently at the red dot of the bullseye in the distance. The gentle afternoon breeze blew through the broken hair on his forehead, and he didn't even blink.
Shanshan couldn't help but hold his breath.
Suddenly, with a sound of cracking in the air, a sharp arrow came out of the string. In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrow had sunk deeply into the target. Although he didn't hit the red heart, he still hit the target.
Shitou looked down at his hands. Shanshan was so excited that he felt as if he had shot himself. He couldn't even speak and could only clap his hands.
Wen Jiahe was even more surprised: "His first time shooting an arrow!?"
Shanshan: "Yes!"
Wen Jiahe also sat upright.
She is the daughter of a general. She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows how difficult it is for a child to hit a bow and arrow for the first time. Even her father, the current general, would not dare to say that he was so powerful.
Shitou's arrow quickly attracted the attention of others.
Only then did they notice that there was an alien child with gray eyes beside them. Everyone looked at each other and didn't take it to heart, but one person took the initiative to come out.
"Stone, why are you here?"
It's Qi Hui.
His class was taking the riding and archery class today. He walked up to Shitou with his bow in hand and pointed at the little carrots playing Cuju on the other side, "The students in your class are over there, you can't come here."
As soon as he saw him, Shan Shan stood up immediately.
She knew that her second cousin had long disliked looking at Brother Shitou. Shitou was not good at talking and would definitely suffer when meeting his second cousin. She spoke to Wen Jiahe and hurried over.
"Second cousin, we have already talked to the master, and the master agreed that Brother Shitou should practice here."
As soon as Qi Hui saw her, he immediately remembered something.
A few days ago, his father came home and told them that he had become friends with Uncle Zheng Guo, and he could bring them together to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. He had long heard about it from other students in the school and was envious of it. When he heard about the opportunity, he made a lot of preparations and waited until the time came to make a big splash. Unexpectedly, they didn't receive the invitation until the palace banquet started.
That’s all. But someone from the family came back from the palace and said they saw the Wen family's mother and daughter at a palace banquet.
He couldn't go, so how could Wen Shan, a kid from a merchant background, go? !
The Zheng family fell down in the blink of an eye, and their whole family was frightened. They were afraid that they would be harmed, so they were trembling in fear for the past two days. Seeing Shanshan now, the resentment in my heart emerged again.
Qi Yun is not here at the moment.
But he noticed that Wen Jiahe, the daughter of General Wen and the eldest princess, was standing not far away. Qi Hui did not dare to cause trouble too blatantly. With a thought in his mind, he looked back at his good friend, the son of General Lu.
He didn't say anything, turned around and walked back.
Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief before returning to his original position.
Wen Jiahe asked casually: "Who is that person?"
"It's my second cousin."
Shanshan is also very surprised. Qi Hui only asked one question today and didn't cause trouble. It's really not like his style. But she didn't take it to heart. She waved to Shitou and sat upright with bright eyes, waiting to see her brother Shitou show his power like Sun Wukong.
Shitou pulled out another bow and arrow.
He had an experience in archery, and he also had some feel for it. He pondered over it for a moment in silence, then took up the bow and bent the string. His gray eyes stared unblinkingly at the red heart of the arrow target not far away, his gaze sharper than before.
A sudden sound.
Just before he was about to let go, a sharp bow and arrow suddenly penetrated directly into his target, making him stunned for a moment, and the momentum he had built up in a big burst was also released.
Everyone is just learning to ride and shoot. Some people are not good at archery, and it is common for bows and arrows to fly randomly.
He didn't pay attention to the stone and took up his bow again.
There was another sound breaking through the air.
A new bow and arrow sank into the target before he let go, and appeared in his field of vision. Shitou's gaze paused, and the strength he had just exerted was also relieved.
One arrow, and another.
Appeared one after another.
Shanshan sat on the ground and raised his hands for a long time to prepare for shooting. After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the stone to shoot.
She was confused.
"Shanshan." Wen Jiahe pulled her and pointed not far away: "Look over there."
Shanshan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Qi Hui standing next to a man. The man bent his bow and shot an arrow. The sharp arrow shot straight out and sank into... the arrow target in front of the stone!
Shan Shan opened his eyes wide.
Brother Shitou is in trouble!
Brother Shitou is in trouble!
