Fu Yuanxiao raised his head and pressed it against Xiao Ji, who was leaning against the wooden door, and said with a serious face, "Didn't my husband say that I am too young to sleep with you?"
Xiao Ji thought about it for a while, and he did say that he stayed tonight just because she helped him, not because he wanted to have anything happen with her.
Seeing the seriousness written all over her little face, a little fool is a little fool, she doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't even know she missed the opportunity.
"Then go to sleep."
Fu Yuanxiao's peach blossom eyes curled up, "That man should rest early, I'll go to bed first."
After she finished speaking, she closed the carved wooden door.
Xiao Ji looked at the closed wooden door, and remembered that the little fool had closed the door without hesitation. He sneered. This was just right. He had never thought about sleeping with her, and he didn't have to bother to deal with it.
Xiao Ji withdrew his gaze and strode back to his yard.
Baozhu looked at her girl's actions and raised her forehead. She reminded her several times that the prince was coming, so she should let him in first.
When a girl arrives, she can't remember it even once.
After an investigation into the eldest prince's poisoning incident, it was discovered that Xiao Min was wrongly accused and acquitted.
However, the person who poisoned the house has never been found. Today, the emperor ordered all the princes to enter the palace to discuss the matter.
Inside the Imperial Study Room
The princes stood below, all looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
The emperor glanced at the princes and said, "Which one of you will investigate this matter?"
Xiaoxiaoxuan took a step forward and suggested: "Father, I think it is appropriate to leave this matter to the fourth brother to investigate."
Xiao Yan also took a step forward and said: "Father, I think Sixth Brother's proposal is good. The four of them are stable people and are the most suitable candidates."
Xiao Ji glanced at the two of them. It had been so long and all the evidence and clues had been dealt with. He was really his good brother, so he threw the hot potato to him.
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Xiao Ji and said, "Since everyone has recommended you to investigate this case, it is up to you to investigate."
Xiao Ji took a step forward, bowed and said, "This is my father."
It's true that good things don't get to him, and bad things happen to him.
My father is very partial.
After leaving the imperial study room, Xiao Ji just walked down the steps when he heard someone calling him.
"Fourth brother."
He stopped and looked back, and saw Chen Wang Xiao Che walking towards him.
Xiao Che has been frail and sickly since she was a child. Her skin is too fair and sickly pale.
"Is something wrong, fifth brother?"
Xiao Che said warmly: "Fourth brother, it has been seven days since the eldest brother was poisoned. I am afraid that no valid evidence can be found for a while, but I remember that the maid who poured wine for the third brother had a mole on the back of her hand."
Xiao Ji heard this and asked, "Since you knew it, why didn't you say it then?"
Xiao Che coughed twice, "I suddenly remembered it yesterday when I saw a mole on the hand of a servant in the mansion. I wonder if it will be of any use to Fourth Brother?"
Xiao Ji said: "No matter whether it is useful or not, thank you for the clues you provided."
Xiao Che smiled and said, "It's good if I can help Fourth Brother."
Xiao Ji looked at the pale Xiao Che. He had the best temperament among the princes, but it was a pity that he was sick all day long.
"It's cold outside. You should go back early to avoid catching the cold."
Xiao Che coughed and said, "Yes, I understand, fourth brother."
Suddenly there was a burst of cheerful laughter. Looking sideways, he saw a five-year-old boy running fast and laughing in the corridor not far away. Behind him was a woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress. Under the woman's exquisite makeup, there is worry written all over it.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Xiao Ji recognized the mother and son at a glance as Concubine Li and Xiao Qi. He had never seen such a look on the concubine's face.
Xiao Che heard the sound and looked over, saw this scene and said, "Concubine Li is also spoiled, and Qi'er is getting more and more naughty."
Xiao Ji pursed his lips when he heard this, "You must be so confident if someone is protecting you."
Prince Yu's Mansion
Chu Yuwan
Fu Yuanxiao was lying on the low table practicing drawing talisman, and he felt sleepy every time he drew the talisman.
She drew for a while, but felt really sleepy, so she simply put down the pen in her hand. After staying in bed, she put on her cotton embroidered shoes and walked out.
When passing by the outhouse, he saw the cakes on the table. Fu Yuanxiao picked up a piece, lifted the heavy curtain with one hand and walked out.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
Fu Yuanxiao caught a glimpse of Tian Xiaohua sitting on a stool in the corridor, holding needle and thread in one hand and green material in the other, embroidering patterns seriously.
There was no wind in the corner, and it was very warm under the sun.
She walked over, looked down at the half-finished product in her hand, and found that the one on display was a peony.
Due to an accident when she was six years old, she does not know these things.
"You are only eight years old and you are already so good at embroidering."
When Tian Xiaohua heard this, she raised her head and saw that it was Fu Yuanxiao. She smiled and said, "This slave has been studying with my mother since she was six years old. She has been studying for two years. If I am not good at embroidery, it is not worth it. Once I study for two years, I can sell it." Good price.”
Fu Yuanxiao still felt very powerful.
"So are you literate?"
Tian Xiaohua shook her head, "No, my brother knows some of them."
Fu Yuanxiao felt that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they still had to go to the academy to study. Even if they didn't learn well, it would be good to know some words.
"Then you want to learn?"
Tian Xiaohua stopped moving her hands, and when she raised her head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, she was a little confused.
"What do you want me to do to learn how to read? Why don't you learn to embroider and sell it?"
Fu Yuanxiao knew that for poor people, earning money was the most important thing, and he had no idea of going to school.
"You don't understand this. Knowing the characters is very useful."
Fu Yuanxiao raised his head and looked at the willows beside the lotus pond, which were sprouting buds and full of spring.
"The willows are sprouting."
Tian Xiaohua looked up and said, "In spring, the willows are sprouting."
Fu Yuanxiao said with a smile: "The dawn is cold outside the green poplar smoke, and the spring is stirring on the red apricot branches."
Tian Xiaohua was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
Fu Yuanxiao continued: "In addition to the benefits of reading, you can keep your own accounts. You can look up books for things you don't understand, and you won't be deceived because you don't know the words."
After hearing this, Tian Xiaohua hesitated for a while and said dullly, "But how can I have time to study? I don't have the money to study. Miss Qianjin is the one who goes to school to learn, not what I should learn."
When Fu Yunxiao heard this, he immediately understood that Tian Xiaohua was worried about having no money or money.
"What's so difficult about this? I'll give you money and you can learn it. Whether you can learn it or not depends on whether you have talent."
Tian Xiaohua said: "But I still have to work. If I don't work, I will have nothing to eat."
Fu Yuanxiao burst out laughing when he heard this, "You are only eight years old, what kind of work can you do? I'm giving you a bite to eat? If you study well, you can also help me with the work, and then you won't have to do menial work. , you can use what you have learned to do some easy work.”
Tian Xiaohua still didn't understand. The princess must have her reason for saying so.
"That slave will listen to the princess."
Cui'er took small steps up the steps, "Princess, the eldest girl is here."
Fu Yuanxiao raised his head when he heard this and saw Fu Yinshuang walking in with a delicate box and a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, look what I brought you to eat?"
