After playing on the boat for half a day, Xie Ning had taken a boat before, but that was for traveling.
The boats were usually passenger ships.
He and his uncle also took a boat on an official ship.
But even if it is an official ship, given my uncle's rank, the ostentation is limited.
The hull is only about half as wide as this building ship, the cabin is narrow, and the portholes are so small that they can only be called transoms.
It's better when there's no wind.
If there's wind, the boat's hull will sway unstable.
Even if the sails are dropped, I'm worried that the wind will blow the boat over.
The boat didn't go very fast, and it was very boring to ride on it.
When my aunt was on the boat, she was afraid that they would run around, and she was even more afraid that some naughty kid would fall into the water, so she kept them in the cabin all day long.
Xie Ning and his cousins were fine, but his cousins were miserable.
Being on a ship is already depressing.
I was not even allowed to go up to the deck to take a look.
I was confined in such a small and stuffy cabin all day long, unable to move.
It was almost like being locked up in a prison.
The emperor asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Ning came back to his senses and saw Bai Hongqi waiting with tea.
He stood up and took one cup of tea and presented it to the emperor.
He picked up the other cup himself.
The palace dress she wore today was a plain coat with wide sleeves.
When she sat down, she put her hands in the sleeves.
When she wanted to serve tea, she naturally raised her hands.
The sleeves gently slid down, revealing a delicate and beautiful wrist.
"I remember the time when I went out on a boat."
The emperor was very interested: "Tell me about it."
Xie Ning felt that the emperor was not interested in these trivial matters and might just be accommodating her.
She also wanted to make her words more interesting.
Even if they were of no use to the emperor, at least they could be a good pastime to pass the time.
Then she talked about having fun with her cousins on the boat.
"While my aunt was taking a nap, my cousin and the others got together to play dice.
In fact, they didn't necessarily care about winning or losing.
It was just because the adults didn't allow it, so they had to try it secretly, not just for fun.
Dice, but the fun of acting secretly from adults."
As expected, the emperor showed a smile: "The less I am allowed to do it, the more I want to try it.
In fact, it may not be that interesting if I actually try it."
"Yes, my eldest cousin said it's actually not interesting.
My uncle is very eclectic.
He said that of course you can't indulge in these things, but you can't be ignorant of them.
A fool who only studies books may gain fame, but he will definitely not be able to get anywhere.
Good colleagues, He couldn't please his boss, and he couldn't win over his subordinates, so when his uncle and aunt weren't paying attention, his uncle led his cousin and several other brothers to sneak ashore, and took them to see and see various places.
Pass by the gambling house."
"Really" the emperor became interested: "What have they done?"
Xie Ning spread his hands: "They didn't know anything when they first entered.
In my uncle's words, at first glance, they looked like young men who had never seen the world.
Gambling houses actually like people like this the most.

They are rich and easy to cheat, cousin.
Once they went in, they lost all their monthly money, and when they came back, they were beaten up by their uncle.
The younger uncle was watching the joke, and after they had finished their punishment, he took out all the money they had lost and paid them back. " "Your uncle Ji Yun paid for the supplement himself."
Xie Ning shook his head: "No, my uncle said he won it back."
"I really didn't realize that he still had this skill."
Xie Ning glanced at the emperor strangely.
My uncle had only been in the palace twice, but the emperor spoke as if he had a lot of friendship with him.
My little uncle has this ability and can hit it off with everyone.
Unexpectedly, this ability would still be useful in front of the emperor.
"My uncle said that nine out of ten gambles are cheating, and there are many ways to do it.
As soon as he made a move, the people in the gambling house saw that he was an expert, and they didn't want to offend him, and the money was not too much, so they simply let him win it back. " The eldest prince came over at some point and listened very attentively.
Xie Ning smiled and touched his head: "This is not a good example.
We should not follow suit."
But the emperor said: "What Ji Yun said makes sense.
How can one learn how to deal with others if they don't know how human beings are?
Just being good at studying is not enough.
When you have some free time, let Ying Yi experience this."
The eldest prince whispered: "I know how to play dice."
The emperor asked: "Where did you know?"
The eldest prince said honestly: "Look at what the eunuchs have played with."
Xie Ning felt nervous.
She had too many things going on here in the past two days, including Princess Mingshou and Princess Yuyao.
Not to mention that the emperor dealt with several people around Princess Yuyao so decisively, leaving no room for error.
Now the eldest prince casually mentioned that the eunuchs were gambling in private.
Are they going to punish another group of people?
Changing hands is not a trivial matter.
Xie Ning is not at ease when the new guy comes and things can't be handled for a while.
Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Really?
When I was a child, I also saw the eunuchs and guards gambling in private.
Then did Ying Yi see any secrets?"
This time, the eldest prince was a little stumped.
He thought for a while and then said: "Usually, they are very careful when talking and walking, and don't make much movement.
But when they play dice, sometimes they light up with joy, their voices become louder, and they seem to It’s no longer respectful.”
They are really children in the palace.
Xie Ning remembers that when his cousins were this old, they would definitely not be able to say such words as "overwhelmed with joy".
The emperor was inquisitive and tempting, leading the eldest prince to think and express his thoughts: "That's it.
Then is it right for the eunuchs to do this?"
This time the eldest prince did not hesitate: "That's wrong."
"Why" "If it's right, they don't have to put down the curtain to play secretly.
And if they forget their form while playing, they will miss their serious business."
"That's right."
The emperor said: "Gambling is not a good thing, and it is even more foolish to pin one's wealth and life on illusory luck.
When you are older and know more people, you will also be exposed to the world of entertainment and fun.
Things, those things can be used for fun and entertainment occasionally, but you must not indulge in them and be unable to extricate yourself, let alone indulge in pleasure and playthings to lose your mind, remember?"

The eldest prince stood up, bowed politely and promised: "I understand, I will definitely abide by your father's teachings."
This kid is really sensible.
He's just too sensible, which makes people feel bad.
"Our boat can't go to Lotus Pier, so if you want to see fish, you can only get off the boat."
The emperor said to Xie Ning, "When it rains lightly someday, let's row a small boat and go see lotus flowers."
Boating in the rain and admiring flowers is so artistic when you hear it.
But Xie Ning had to say something ugly first: "Although I used to ride boats, I don't know how to row an oar.
Can your Majesty do that?"
If you don't know how to do both, you have to prepare the manpower to row the boat first, otherwise it will be a joke.
The emperor smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I can do it."
Where did the emperor learn it?
Xie Ning thought about it in her mind.
Before she could ask clearly, the emperor glanced at the shore and his face darkened slightly.
Xie Ning also glanced towards the shore.
There is someone in the pavilion next to the lake.
He is wearing red and green and is very conspicuous from a distance.
Judging from the posture, he was waiting for them to dock.
If any of the concubines in the harem were not so grand, the emperor would not be so shameless.
Xie Ning might not have been able to guess it before, but after just seeing it, the answer jumped out to him now without having to think about it.
That means Princess Mingshou can do such a thing, right?
Anyone else in the Imperial Garden wouldn't be so bold and arrogant.
It seems that the emperor does not like to see this eldest sister.
She hadn't had time to tell the emperor about Xie Ning's humiliation yesterday, but the emperor might not have known about it.
Because from last night to now, he didn't ask her if she enjoyed going to the Changchun Garden to enjoy the flowers.
He was about to meet Princess Mingshou again.
It would be a lie to say that Xie Ning had no knots in her heart.
But Princess Mingshou was the emperor's eldest sister, so Xie Ning could only endure being embarrassed by her.
If she behaved as she did yesterday in front of the emperor today, especially if the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao were also present today, Xie Ning could not guarantee that she would continue to swallow her anger.
From the looks of the emperor, he was not happy to meet Princess Mingshou.
When the ship docked, Princess Mingshou and her people came to greet her.
She was wearing a necklace of pearls around her neck today.
The beads were round and flawless.
This necklace alone was worth a lot of money.
Even good things depend on who wears them.
Princess Mingshou's neck is a little thick.
This string of beads is probably not a recent piece of jewelry.
It's a little tight and makes it look even thicker against her neck.
"Your Majesty is really in a good mood.
There are so many people waiting to see you, handing out coupons, and you actually left important things to go to the lake for fun."
Princess Mingshou came with bad intentions and spoke aggressively: "I sent people here early in the morning.
As a result, she missed the opportunity after entering the garden."
She glanced at Xie Ning's face, and then glanced at the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao who were following behind.
She raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I don't know what the emperor is playing.
Isn’t it fun?”
Even though they were siblings, the emperor was still the emperor, and Princess Mingshou didn't even have any manners, which really shocked Xie Ning.

The eldest prince was a little at a loss.
According to the etiquette rules he had been taught, Princess Mingshou should first salute and greet the emperor, and then he and his younger siblings should salute Aunt Mingshou.
At least this was the case when they met Aunt Mingwei before.
But Princess Mingshou came up to ask questions and had no intention of saluting, so the eldest prince didn't know how to greet her in order.
"I've never heard that the emperor sent someone here."
The emperor said in a calm tone: "If the emperor has something to do, you don't have to stand in the sun and wait.
If you have something to say, we can talk about it when we get back."
They don't look like siblings.
Xie Ning felt that the emperor was more cordial to Bai Hongqi and Li Shuling than to Princess Mingshou.
It can't be said that the emperor's current tone is so rude.
In fact, this tone can be considered friendly.
After all, Xie Ning has been getting along with the emperor for a long time.
You can tell from the emperor's current demeanor and tone whether he is really relaxed. and pleasure.
The emperor is now like wearing a mask, and the emotions and sorrows he expresses are not from his true heart
