The next day, Shu Qiao asked Master Shiba to draw a pattern of parallel lotus for himself, and planned to embroider a parallel lotus to give to Master Thirteen.
After finishing the painting, Brother Shiba said to Shu Qiao: "Sister Xueyi, I will come next I still want to learn painting from the painter, so I’ll leave first.”
Xueyi waved his hand and said: "Bye, study hard."
The eighteenth brother also waved and left.
Abiel asked on the way: "Princess, where are you going now?"
Xueyi stumbled on the road: "We are going to Concubine De's house now.
If things go well, maybe we can leave the palace."
Abier said happily: "Great, in this case, I will have the opportunity to go out and see things.
When you become the princess in the future, I can go out whenever I want."
Xueyi chased Abi'er and said, "You feel at ease, but I'm trapped.
Let's see if I don't punish you."
Then he kept tickling Abi'er.
The Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master were just talking about how to prepare for the cold this time, when they heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
The Thirteenth Master was very happy to see Xueyi again, but saw that the Fourth Master was very serious in his words.
Said: "This princess is really full of energy."
Master Thirteen shouted to Xueyi: "Princess Xueyi, did you have a good time?"
As soon as Xueyi heard the sound, he immediately restrained himself.
However, looking at the Fourth Master next to him, Xueyi also restrained his smile and walked over: "Fourth Master, Thirteenth Master."
Thirteenth Master said: "Xueyi, where are you going?
This is not your way back to other courtyards."
Xueyi ignored the Fourth Master's presence and said very familiarly, "I'm here to see Empress Dowager De."
Thirteenth Master was very surprised and happy and said: "It seems that we are traveling together."
Then the four of them went over together.
After greeting Concubine De, Concubine De said that it would be lunch time later, so she would leave the three of them to eat together.
At the dinner table, Xueyi wanted to pick up winter bamboo shoots, but when he took down his chopsticks, he thought again: "No, the winter bamboo shoots will definitely make a sound and cannot be eaten."
He changed his hands and wanted to pick up celery to eat, but shook his head and still couldn't do it.
When he saw the last I love eating black fungus, so I thought to myself: Forget it, it seems that I can only drink some soup at other people's homes, otherwise, I can't suppress the chirping sound.
The Fourth Master, the Thirteenth Master, and Concubine De all noticed it.
The Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master just smiled, and Concubine De asked: "Princess, do you not like these meals?
How about I order the imperial dining room to serve you some food that you like." " Xueyi put down his chopsticks and shook his head and said, "No, Madam, it's just that I have lost weight recently and I have dietary restrictions."
Concubine De smiled and said, "Does the princess still need to lose weight for her appearance?"
Xueyi smiled shyly: "Girls will never think they are thin."
Everyone smiled, and Xueyi saw that the atmosphere at this time was still good, so he began to speak: "Empress De Fei, I heard that you will be the successor to the Fourteenth Master next month.
I wonder if you can let me come to serve as the successor to the Fourteenth Master.
Fourth Master is hosting this reception banquet.”
Concubine De looked at Xueyi and said: "The princess is kind to me, so I can't refuse it.
However, the princess mainly studies court etiquette.
I heard that she is still learning Chinese characters recently, so I'm afraid it will delay the princess."
Xueyi waved his hand and said, "No, this study requires talent, and I mainly want to fulfill my filial piety for Empress Dowager De."
Concubine De nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to the princess.
When the Fourteenth comes back in the future, I'll ask the Fourteenth to say thank you."
Xueyi: "It's my duty to do my best for your Majesty.
Then, Madam, can I leave the palace and buy some things?"
At this time, the fourth master knew that Xue Yi had the idea of leaving the palace, so he said, "If you want something, you can just send your servants to buy it.
Why does the princess go out in person?"

Xueyi immediately thought of the reason: "If you don't go out, how can you have the inspiration to hold the wedding banquet you want to hold?"
Chance.
"Purchasing does not need to be done with too much fanfare.
Just cook a meal for the Fourteenth in my palace."
Concubine De said with a smile.
What should I do?
This is a polite refusal.
"This is not good, my dear.
Young people all like to be lively.
People like Master Fourteen who love lively will definitely want to chat with their brothers when they come back."
Concubine De thought for a while and said, "You are right.
Fourteenth really likes to be lively.
Unlike the fourth child, Thirteenth is a quiet person."
Concubine De thought for a while and said, "Let's do this.
When the time comes, we will catch the wind."
Let the banquet be held at Lao Si's house, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it."
"Yes, Mother."
Fourth Master smiled.
But didn't Xueyi's plan to leave the palace come to nothing?
"Empress De Fei, can I help with the reception banquet of the Fourteenth Master?"
Seeing Xue Yi wanting to leave the palace, Master Thirteen said, "Empress De Fei, I think the princess may be depressed.
I want to ask you to give her a chance to leave the palace."
"Oh."
Concubine De actually knew it earlier, but she didn't intend to say it out loud without mentioning it clearly.
Seeing Xueyi feeling embarrassed that her thoughts were being ignored, Concubine De said: "That's okay, you can do it that day Just go to Sibeile Mansion to help."
"Thank you, empress."
Xueyi looked at Concubine De happily, finally having a chance to leave the palace, yes.
After having a meal with Xueyi at Concubine De's place, Master Thirteen would often sit in the palace in a daze, picking up the straw bracelet in his arms and wanting to give it to Shu Qiao.
At this time Luo Xinghai came in and said: " Thirteenth Master, you have been in seclusion for such a long time, how about we go out for a walk?"
Thirteenth Master said: "Where to go?"
Luo Xinghai was about to think about it when the Thirteenth Master smiled: "Let's go find the Eighteenth Brother."
The Thirteenth Master raised his legs and left.
In a hurry, Luo Xinghai complained from behind: "Why are you so old lately?"
Isn’t it boring to run around with Master Ba?”
The Thirteenth Master came to the study room and saw the Eighteenth Brother from the window who was reading seriously.
He didn't want to disturb him, so he left the study room by himself.
Luo Xinghai followed the Thirteenth Master and asked: "Thirteenth Master, the Eighteenth Master is not free now, so should we go outside the palace to play?"
The Thirteenth Master still walked forward on his own: "The scenery in the palace is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy it properly?"
Luo Xinghai seemed to feel that there was no hope of leaving the palace, and said discouragedly: "Since when did the Thirteenth Master like to admire the autumn colors in the palace?"
Just after saying this, he found that the Thirteenth Master seemed to be looking at Yuqing Palace. , seemed thoughtful, "Thirteenth Master, do you want to visit the Crown Prince?"
Luo Xinghai couldn't help but ask.
The Thirteenth Master did not speak.
Luo Xinghai wanted to step forward to see the Thirteenth Master, but he only heard a sentence from the side: "If the Thirteenth Brother wants to come see me, just go in.
If you like something in my house, you can also say so." , Don’t call me a stingy brother.”
The Thirteenth Master lowered his head and shouted, "Prince."

Luo Xinghai knelt down on one leg to greet the Prince.
"Get up."
The prince slowly walked to the Thirteenth Master's side.
"Since you are here, come and sit in my palace."
Although the Thirteenth Master knew that this was not a good thing, when the Fourth Master nodded, the Thirteenth Master could not refuse, so he had to agree and follow the Fourth Master's footsteps.
Xinghai always felt that the atmosphere was strange, but it was I don’t know what’s going on, so I do everything very carefully.
Arriving at the main hall of Yuqing Palace, Ning Fujin came out and ordered the tea.
The Crown Prince sat directly above him, and the Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master sat on the left side of the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince looked at the Thirteenth Master and suddenly said: Words: "Thirteenth brother, do you want to ask something?"
The Thirteenth Master just smiled slightly: "There are no questions now.
If you have any questions in the future, you will definitely come to the prince for advice."
The prince laughed and said, "It seems that I have been worrying too much.
Today, Princess Xueyi has been studying etiquette in my palace for a while.
Thinking that you are also acquaintances, I sent someone to invite the princess to meet you. ” Neither the Thirteenth Master nor the Fourth Master spoke, they just waited quietly for something.
Xueyi arrived not far from the entrance of the lobby and asked Xiao Si sent by the prince: "Father, do you know why the prince is looking for me?"
The boy replied respectfully: "I don't know, but the fourth master and the thirteenth master are sitting in the palace.
They must have something to discuss with the princess."
When Xueyi heard that Thirteenth Master was also there, he suddenly thought and was very happy: "Then let's go quickly, don't waste time."
His steps were getting faster and faster.
When they came to the hall of Yuxiu Palace, they saw that neither the Fourth Master nor the Thirteenth Master raised their heads to look at him, and their expressions were extremely serious.
It would not be surprising if the Fourth Master had this expression, but the Thirteenth Master also had this expression, so Shu Qiao's thoughts were a bit unpredictable.
The prince was the only one smiling, making people feel like there was a sinister wind behind him.
Xueyi half-knelt and said, "See the prince, the fourth master, the fourteenth master."
The prince: "Get up, find a place to sit down."
Xueyi walked to the other side and sat down, facing the fourth master, "Today I brought the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother here because no matter what you say, they are Let’s get to know each other, let’s chat and save ourselves from being bored all day long.”
Xueyi understood in his heart what the prince meant: Doesn't this clearly put me and Thirteenth Master on the table?
Also, how could a man in this ancient time want his fiancée to like someone else?
Isn't this a great shame?
The prince said to the people below: "Thirteenth brother, if you have anything you want to tell your future sister-in-law, you can tell her now.
I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities to meet in the future."
There is something in the words.
The Thirteenth Master understood it very well, Xueyi also understood it, and the Fourth Master understood it even more.
The Thirteenth Master smiled and said to the Crown Prince: "The Crown Prince is joking, the princess must be good to the Crown Prince in everything, and she cares about her."
I think we can save the words."
Prince: "That's natural.
I will definitely take good care of the princess."
Xueyi felt very uncomfortable inside.
He was pretending to be happy even though he was depressed like a bird in a cage.
Even though he saw Master Thirteen, he still couldn't talk to him.
Isn't this sad?
At this time, the fourth master slipped out a sentence: "Prince, my thirteenth brother and I have agreed to pay our respects to E Niang now.
If nothing happens, we will leave first."
The Crown Prince was very satisfied with today's situation, because the two of them could not say anything when they met, so he let the Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master go: "By the way, pay my regards to the Concubine, and wait until I am free in a few days.
Let’s go and see Empress Dowager De.”
The Fourth Master said "Yeah" and then took the Thirteenth Master out.

Xueyi kept staring at the Thirteenth Master, forgetting that there was a prince next to him.
The prince made a look to the attendant Hu Qing next to him, and Hu Qing clapped his hands.
At this time, he saw the servants coming over.
Everyone held a plate in their hands.
The prince said proudly: "These are the jade bracelets and some pearl necklaces sent by the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu.
They are given to you now."
Xueyi stood up, and Fujin also stood up, and said in unison: "Thank you, Prince."
Xueyi noticed that his things were exactly the same as Fujin's, and saw jealousy in Fujin's eyes, and felt sad in his heart: It's over. , it seems that my future will be even more difficult.
The Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master were walking on the road, with Luo Xinghai following behind and not daring to say a word.
The Thirteenth Master was afraid that the Fourth Master would mention the matter between Xueyi and himself, so he hurriedly said to the Fourth Master: "Fourth Brother, I Suddenly I remembered that I had to go see my eighteenth brother, so I left first."
The fourth master said calmly: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten that I just told the prince that you are also going to visit my mother-in-law?
If the prince uses this as an excuse to catch us, do you want to just do this?"
Suffer."
The Thirteenth Master thought about it and had no choice but to continue to follow the Fourth Master's footsteps.
The Fourth Master said, "What the Crown Prince did just now is very obvious.
You must know that I have reminded you from the beginning to keep a distance from the princess.
But you two have always been perfunctory."
Thirteen didn't want to hide anything from Fourth Master anymore, so he immediately said, "Fourth Brother, I don't want to hide it from you anymore.
Don't Xueyi and I have a chance to be together?"
The Fourth Master also stopped, stared at the Thirteenth Master and said firmly: "No."
The Thirteenth Master was very dissatisfied and wanted to continue asking the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master said, "You have been alienated from me a lot recently because of her affairs.
I don't want you and my brother to end our relationship like this."
The Thirteenth Master said firmly: "Fourth Brother, the brotherhood between you and me will never be broken.
No matter what, I will never forget the way Fourth Brother takes care of me."
Brother Si was very pleased to see Master Thirteen being so firm in his friendship with him, "I know you value friendship, but you also have to take the overall situation into consideration."
The Thirteenth Master seemed unwilling to give in, "He said she would not marry the prince, he said that" "Does what she said must be true?"
The Fourth Master's words seemed to wake up the dreamer, Thirteenth The master suddenly had nothing to say, and the fourth master said coldly: "Okay, pack your mind and go see E Niang."
After the Fourth Master left, Luo Xinghai saw that the Thirteenth Master was still staying where he was, so he stepped forward and reminded him: "Master, let's go."
Thirteenth then started slowly and followed the Fourth Master.
Shu Qiao returned to her secluded garden and was in a very bad mood.
Thinking of the scene just now, she always wondered if the Thirteenth Master would give up on her because of the prince.
Do she really want to compromise and marry someone she didn't want at all?
Someone you like.
Seeing that Xueyi had been sitting on the stone stool in a daze, Abier walked over gently, and then shouted "Princess."
Shu Qiao blamed Abier: "Why are you always making noises?
If there is no one in the future, If you dare, just find a place to cry."
Abi'er giggled, "How can my happiness compare to the princess's sorrowful look?"
The son asked: "Why does the princess sigh so much?"
Xueyi lowered her head and tied her silk handkerchief, "Tell me, how can I not be imprisoned in this small Yuxiu Palace every day?"
Abi'er came up with an idea without saying a word, "This is not simple, the emperor is not You have been allowed to go to the study room for classes, so you can walk around."
Xueyi stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why did I forget about this?
Now, you go to the study and give a message to the teacher, saying that I will go to the study to study tomorrow."
Abi'er nodded and prepared to go out.
Xueyi shouted again, "By the way, remember to tell Brother Shiba that I will go find him tonight."

Abier said, "Yes."
Then she walked out the door.
Xueyi was very happy, and finally found an honest reason to spend time with Brother 18.
In this way, Master Thirteen could also see him.
As I thought about it, a smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, and I suddenly felt that I was too scheming, and I actually learned to use the eighteenth prince as a magpie bridge.
"Have you finished your embroidery today?
Are you starting to be lazy now?"
Xueyi hurriedly saluted, and Fujin said, "Get up."
Xueyi looked at the expressionless Fujin sitting aside, and squeezed out a few words: "I just learned embroidery, and my embroidery is not very good.
I can't use it."
Fujin stared at Xueyi and said, "If you don't learn well, you can take your time, but that's not an excuse to be lazy."
Xueyi was very annoyed inside.
He obviously wanted to take a break, but he managed himself like a prisoner, "Why?
, I’ll say a few words to you, and you’ll lose face.”
Fujin saw the obvious dissatisfaction on Xueyi’s face.
That's right.
Since you are dependent on others, you must learn to bow your head and say, "No, I'm just reflecting on myself."
Fujin looked at Xueyi and showed no sign of resistance, then stood up and said, "Today, grandma will be here with you to embroider until you make progress in embroidery."
Then he walked a few steps and suddenly heard Xueyi shouting.
He said: "Fu Jin, I am going to study in the study tomorrow.
The emperor personally promised it."
Fujin turned his head and stared at Xue Yi without saying a word, but he said in his heart: Xue Yi has established a relationship with the emperor so quickly. .
Xueyi just felt that Fujin looked a little uneasy.
Could it be that he was too reckless?
"You can go to the study as usual tomorrow, and you can do embroidery as usual when you come back tomorrow."
Xueyi replied in a low voice, "Yes."
After watching Fujin leave, Xueyi said to the newcomer Zeng, "Mother Zeng, please sit down and take a rest."
But this Nanny Zeng seemed to be carved from the same mold as Fujin: "No, princess, let's learn embroidery, otherwise Fujin will blame me for my incompetence in teaching."
When Xueyi saw this situation, he couldn't continue to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks.
It’s better to keep doing your embroidery and don’t cause any more unpleasant things to yourself.
The next day, Xueyi felt that respect for teachers was very important in ancient times.
Whether a person can do great things depends on whether a person can respect his mentor properly.
Only by respecting the teacher can you respect the Tao, and then you can be taught the skills and solve your doubts.
Because he didn't know the road, Brother Shiba came to Xueyi's Zhu De Courtyard early.
He saw that a child like Master Shiba could get up so early.
It was really not easy.
"Brother 18, why are you here so early?"
Xueyi asked the energetic 18th Brother.
"Today is my sister's first day at school.
I thought that she would go to visit Master Du early, so I came to guide my sister."
The eighteenth brother was really thoughtful.
Even he didn't think that he would get lost, but the little boy The young eighteenth brother is so meticulous.
"Brother Eighteen is so attentive."
But in his mind, he was thinking about Master Thirteen.
"Isn't he similar to Brother Thirteen?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Brother Eighteen's ghostly appearance made him guess his inner thoughts.
Xueyi gently grabbed Brother Shiba's ears and said, "Didn't anyone teach you not to guess girls' thoughts?"
It was very embarrassing to be exposed by a child in front of his face and laughed at by both of them. .
"Sister, I was wrong.
Let's go see Master Du."
She begged for mercy in a childish voice, but Xueyi couldn't bear to kill the ear again.
"Okay, let's hold sister's hand and go."
He stretched out his hand and pulled the eighteenth brother as if caring for a child.
However, the 18th elder brother said ungratefully: "I am a boy, and it would be a shame to let a girl lead me.
My sister will still follow me."
After that, he walked forward in a swaggering manner.
Abi'er, who had been standing by and watching the fun, also found it funny that at such a young age, she had to face the issue of gain and loss of face so quickly.
Abier saw that the Eighteenth Prince had walked away, but looked at the princess but was still giggling, so she stepped forward and said, "Princess, if you don't leave, the Eighteenth Prince will be back."
"Let's go."
Xueyi followed the footsteps of the eighteenth elder brother and walked out.
As a personal maid, Abier naturally followed.
When they came to the study, Master Du was already sitting in the upper seat of the study.
Brother 18 stepped forward and bowed: "Master Du."
Master Du looked at Brother Eighteen, and an old man smiled slightly: "Brother Eighteen really loves to study, he came early."
The eighteenth elder brother said respectfully: "Master Du, a new student wants to see you today."
Xueyi was already stunned there.
When he saw both of them looking at him, he remembered that he was coming to see Master Du, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Master Du, student Xueyi, today I have just come to study, I hope you will give me some advice.”
Master Du stood up and saw Xueyi being so respectful, and he was naturally very comforted: "Princess is eager to learn, I believe he will definitely succeed in his studies."
Xueyi was very happy when he heard the Master praising him so much: "Thank you Master Du for the compliment.
The student wants to study as soon as possible now, but I wonder if the Master has time."
Master Du nodded happily and said, "Princess, let's start with literacy."
Xueyi nodded and said, "Yes, Master Du."
Brother Shiba saw that it was not convenient to disturb Xueyi this time, so he stood up and said, "Master, let me practice the flute first."
Seeing the master nodding, he walked aside to practice.
After studying for two hours, it was time for a break between classes, but she was surrounded by some children, some little princesses, and Abi'er had been sitting outside the study room.
When she saw them all coming out, Abi'er was very happy to finally You can talk now.
She followed Xueyi and said, "Princess, you see these elder brothers don't play together very much.
They look so separate."
"It's true what you said, come with me."
Looking at Xueyi's posture, he seemed to want to know the "inside story" of this matter.
Xueyi saw that the elder brothers were all in a few piles.
Xueyi saw the eighteenth elder brother standing in front talking to others, so he walked over and asked the eighteenth elder brother: "Brother eighteen, why don't you talk to other people?"
A few brothers are playing.”
The sixteenth brother next to him answered first: "Their mother has a lower status and is not suitable to be with us."
Does such a young child actually have such thoughts?
It seems that the disparity in status, even if they are biological brothers, has been destined since childhood.
"Actually, status doesn't matter.
We are all Huang Ama's children, and we should play together."
Brother Eighteen is still young, but he can always speak like an adult.
The sixteenth brother felt that the eighteenth brother could only say these words at a young age, and said with some disdain: "Eighteenth brother, you are still young, you will understand in the future."

Seeing the leaving figure of Brother Sixteen, Xueyi felt very upset in his heart: Why is it that such a young child is obscured by power, but the most eternal family love in the world is not left at all in this royal family.
From this point of view, in fact, the thrilling success of the nine sons in the future was all due to their poor performance when they were young.
The so-called destiny is nothing more than a cycle of cause and effect.
But what is the "cause" for why I came here?
Returning to his room, he sat alone in the yard in a daze: What on earth am I here for?
To participate in this battle for the title of the nine sons like other time-traveling heroines, and then either sit in a high position and stay here for the rest of my life, or be miserable.
My life ended here and I go back with regrets.
I don’t want, I don’t want to be like these people, I want to be myself, I want to be myself.
My footsteps didn't follow my own reason, but I listened to my heart's thoughts and left all the way, just because I didn't want to feel like I was living in a cage.
The nun who came to teach me how to embroider couldn't stop me.
She seemed to have lost her mind and walked to a deserted corner.
No one was chasing her, and no one could find her hiding place.
That's right.
This is it.
Xueyi hid inside, huddled together.
I don't want to think about the situation outside, I only have the thought of going back
