King’s House Kindergarten

Xu Li suddenly realized that the child in front of him is likely to rarely go out.

Even, the other party may not speak...

Xu Li didn't embarrass him anymore.

He didn't speak, but Xu Li took his hand and walked out of the alley, while saying to him, "This alley is called Xihui Alley. It was built more than 100 years ago when Beijing was in chaos. It was built during the disaster, and it has been preserved since then. If you break in by mistake, it is easy to get lost. Even if you can climb to the wall of the alley, you will not be able to get out for a while if you are not familiar with it, but you happened to meet me. "

Xu Li smiled at him gently.

The child was a little stunned, but smiled at Xu Li.

In Duanyang in May, the weather was like a fire, and there were loud dragon boats around, but the child's hands were cold.

It should be because he was weak and frightened.

Xu Li clenched his hand as tightly as possible, and his mind was filled with the scene of the prince who was lost in the Duanyang Dragon Boat Festival earlier, and when he was found later, he had drowned...

Later, he often had nightmares, and the nightmares were all panicked when the first prince got lost, and the scenes of struggling when he fell into the water.

Until a long time later, Xu Li was afraid to see the child lost.

More afraid of seeing children drowning.

So it's not that the children around him have cold palms, but his palms are also cold.

"Where is your home, I'll take you back?" Xu Li said.

The child seemed a little panicked and shook his head quickly.

Xu Li suddenly felt that the child seemed to be afraid, afraid that others would know about his family...

Even a little trembling.

Xu Li hesitated, and then changed his tune, "Then you have an agreement with your family, where will you wait if you get separated?"

The child thought about it and nodded.

Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he had it, he smiled at the child, "I'll take you there."

The child nodded again.

As if after the scene just now, the child's trust in Xu Li seemed to be a little more, and the little hand clenched Xu Li's hand, as if afraid of not being able to keep up with his footsteps, but also afraid of getting lost with him and getting lost again.

The children next to you feel insecure.

Xu Li's heart was clear, but there were taboos in the child's heart, so Xu Li did not reluctantly ask more questions.

After about a quarter of an hour, he finally walked out of Xihui Alley, and when he reached the street, he suddenly became enlightened.

Xu Li leaned over and said softly, "We came out of Xihui Alley. Where is the place you made an appointment with with your family? I'll take you there?"

It's just that the voice just fell, and the person who looked like a guard said in a panic, "Young Master!"

The little boy turned his eyes.

Xu Li also got up and turned his eyes.

When the other party confirmed that it was the child he was looking for, he seemed to be relieved, but when he saw that the person beside the child was Xu Li, he seemed to be frightened. He froze and quickly lowered his head to cover up.

Xu Li had a panoramic view.

The other party should know him and should avoid it, but Xu Li didn't know which bodyguard the other party was.

The child beside Xu Li seemed to be lost and finally saw an acquaintance. He immediately released Xu Li's hand and ran from Xu Li to the person who looked like a guard on the opposite side, but Xu Li did not stop him.

"Azhi..." The child committed suicide.

Only then did Xu Li know that he was indeed not dumb.

"Young Master is frightened." The guard named Azhi also said guilty, "Young Master, go home, the Lord is worried."

The child nodded in his arms.

The guard then looked at Xu Li and nodded in greeting. Xu Li knew that the other party didn't want to interact with him, so he raised his eyes to look at the child of Fang Cai. The child of Fang Cai was held in his arms by the guard. When the guard took him away, he turned around. He looked at Xu Li.

Those eyes reminded Xu Li of the prince who was also lost on the Dragon Boat Festival and later drowned.

As the other party walked away, Xu Li slowly closed his eyes.

***

Today there is the Duanyang Dragon Boat Race, and the streets of Beijing are mostly deserted.

Because the former prince drowned a few years ago, Beijing Central has not hosted the Duanyang Dragon Boat Festival for several years. Last year was the first year, but it was simple. I went to watch the dragon boat race near Linjiang.

The carriage was driving on the empty streets, from the western suburbs to the east city, some distance away, Xu Li was fascinated by the child just now.

When the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Zhiyuan Bookstore, Xu Li lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, only to see someone waiting at the entrance of the bookstore. Uncle Liu didn't know the person who came. The person who came here said he was looking for Xu Li, but when Xu Li was not around, he kept waiting. Uncle Liu asked him to take a break, but the other party didn't either.

When Xu Li stepped forward, the other party recognized him and bowed his hands to him.

Uncle Liu was surprised, he really knew the owner.

"Master..." Liu Bogang wanted to speak.

Xu Li waved his hand, and Uncle Liu knowingly avoided it.

Xu Li stepped forward, "Why are you here?"

The other party then raised his head and said softly, "Your Majesty wants to see Taifu."

Xu Li was slightly stunned.

***

On the viewing platform by the river, the cheers and cheers were as loud as the sky.

Prince Liangdi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in the cubicle.

The prince's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't say a word. The lively Ankang outside the cubicle formed a sharp contrast with the depressing atmosphere in the cubicle. But the crown princess seemed to be unaware, she only looked at the mammy on the same side, teasing a pair of children.

On the other side, Prince Liangdi didn't know what to do, so he just wanted to find an opportunity to go out and breathe.

The dragon boat race is already halfway through, and in his thoughts, Fu Yuan, the waiter serving by the prince's side, enters.

The expression on the prince's face fluctuated a little.

Fu Yuan stepped forward and attached an ear in front of the prince.

Prince Liangdi didn't dare to look at it, but Yu Guang still caught a glimpse of the Prince's expression loosening, as if he had been taking a sigh of relief and put it down, but Fuyuan should have something to tell the Prince. write.

"It's more lively outside, take the children out to watch the dragon boat race." The prince suddenly said.

Hearing this, the Crown Princess stood up and called out to Prince Liang Di, "Sister."

"Yes." Prince Liangdi responded.

The two said goodbye to the East Palace, then hugged the dragon and the phoenix and walked out of the compartment to watch the dragon boat race on the viewing platform.

When the princess and the prince Liangdi left, Fu Yuan waved his hand, and the people who were serving in the cubicle withdrew, and Fu Yuan said to the prince, "Your Highness, the son has been found, but something happened outside the festival..."

Fu Yuan also seemed to be afraid of touching his bad head, so he lowered his head and did not dare to lift it up.

"Speak." The prince's voice was low.

Fu Yuan said, "Young Master was found, but Master... When he was lost, he was always with the Grand Master..."

Prince Liangdi and Princess Concubine had just left the cubicle just now, and before they had time to go down the stairs, they saw that the people who were serving in the cubicle had all retreated without saying a word. Di shivered with fright, and almost didn't hold the child in her arms firmly.

The Crown Princess's eyes were slightly stunned, and her expression was also paused, and soon returned to the earlier, it seemed that the sound of smashing the teacup had long been accustomed to.

Prince Liangdi was very frightened.

The Crown Princess looked at her "gently" and said in a low voice, "My sister is just getting used to it when she first arrives in the East Palace. If you hear what you hear, if you don't hear it, just don't hear it..."

Prince Liangdi was stunned, not responding for a while, not knowing how to respond. The Crown Princess had already left with one of the children, and Prince Liangdi had to push her away, daring not to say anything else.

Inside the room.

Fu Yuangui was on the ground and did not dare to speak aloud, "Young master didn't speak to the master, and the master did not know the master's identity. Azhi has already brought master back. Other than that, there is no trouble."

What the **** is going on!

Meeting Xu Li was the biggest mistake!

Xu Li is a smart person, if he investigates, I am afraid that Zifeng's identity cannot be hidden...

The prince clenched his palm tightly, suppressed his anger, and instructed, "Let someone send Zifeng to the southern suburbs, there are few people there, and now stay in the southern suburbs for a while, don't show up for the time being, and then make plans."

"Yes!" Fu Yuan responded, then got up and was about to push out, the prince frowned slightly again, and whispered, "Come back."

Fu Yuan quickly turned back.

The prince's eyes swept across, and his voice seemed to come from the abyss ice cellar, "Zifeng has Azhi by his side, and there are so many guards, how can they get separated during the Duanyang Festival?"

He doesn't believe in such a coincidence.

In particular, today is the Duanyang Dragon Boat Festival.

That's why he was shocked when he heard the news of Zifeng's disappearance...

Fu Yuan knelt back again, "Your Highness, the son heard that you would pass by and wanted to take a look at His Highness from a distance, so Azhi thought that with so many people on the Duanyang Festival, no one would pay attention to the son, so he took the son out. , but I didn't expect it to be washed away by the crowd..."

Before Fuyuan finished speaking, the prince was annoyed, "Such a coincidental crowd has dispersed! It just happened to arrive at Zifeng!"

Fu Yuan froze, he didn't think about it...

The prince's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, "Go check, why did Zifeng suddenly think about it and want to see me during the Dragon Boat Festival? Start checking from the mammy and maid next to him, no matter how hard your mouth is, you have to open your mouth. I don't believe that such a coincidence happened just today..."

"I want to see, until now, whose tentacles have stretched so long..."

Fu Yuan quickly bowed his head.

***

In the main pavilion of the viewing platform, the inner courtier raised the curtain and said, "Taifu, Your Majesty has a request."

After saying that, the waiter turned sideways and asked Xu Li to enter.

In the main pavilion, only Emperor Ping and the chief supervisor were present.

Emperor Ping also held the memorial in his hand, and the Dragon Boat Festival should have not looked at it much from the beginning, but just glanced at the memorial in his hand.

"Caomin Xu Li, I have met Your Majesty." Xu Li saluted.

Pingdi glanced at him and asked quietly, "Has the strength in my heart passed?"

Xu Li bowed his head, "Caomin dare not."

Emperor Ping put the memorial in his hand to one side and said softly, "Why is your temper more stubborn than an ox?"

Xu Li didn't answer.

Emperor Ping got up, then paced forward, stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "Get up, I know that you treat Xiaoer with kindness, Xiaoer has been with you since childhood, and the two of you have deep feelings for Xiaoer's death. I am pregnant, but Xiaoer is also my son, and I am also saddened by his death.”

Xu Li personally helped each other, and Xu Li had to get up.

Emperor Ping continued, "I know that you blame the death of Xiaoer on the Crown Prince, and I have already told you that the death of Xiaoer has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. I am also saddened by the loss of my beloved son, but I am more saddened by me. Choosing him to be the candidate for the assistant minister, all these years have been spent on these useless things, wasting time in vain..."

Before Emperor Ping finished speaking, Xu Li interrupted, "Your Majesty, Caomin still believes that there is an inside story about the death of the first prince!"

He suddenly interrupted, and Emperor Ping was silent for a long time.

The long-lost silence between monarchs and ministers seemed to bring time back to a few years ago. At that time, it was almost the same as it is now, but at that time Xu Li was even more extreme. In the main hall, he demanded a thorough investigation of the prince's drowning in the main hall. Emperor Ping couldn't think about it, but then Xu Li resigned in public.

After many years, it seems that the atmosphere has returned to its original point at this moment. It's just that Xu Li is no longer an impulsive teenager in the Golden Palace, and the years have added a bit of restraint in his heart. Emperor Ping looked at him carefully over the years, and he also changed from youth to calm.

Pingdi said warmly, "I don't allow the investigation because I have already thoroughly investigated it."

Xu Li didn't answer, his eyes were still full of disbelief.

Emperor Ping also really said, "You have been unwilling to believe, and unwilling to believe, because you always feel that someone should be responsible for Xiaoer's death. From beginning to end, the one who can't let go is you."

Xu Li's eyes were slightly red.

Emperor Ping continued, "Xu Li, I cherish talents, and up to now, I still hope that you will return to the dynasty to assist."

"Caomin can't agree with the prince. Even if your majesty believes that the death of the first prince has no secret, what about the fire in the palace? How many people died in the capital, can't your majesty see it? Don't want to believe it?" Xu Li has already surpassed.

Emperor Ping's brows furrowed, and there was no hostility between the two of them, but they were already **** for tat.

Xu Li did not retreat.

Pingdi said solemnly, "Okay, then what should I do?"

Xu Li was slightly surprised.

When Emperor Ping stepped forward, his eyes seemed to see through him, "Do you know how many forces in the DPRK and the army have been in the hands of the third child over the years? There is Qiangya in the north of the Western Qin Dynasty, Baer is coveted by a tiger, in the east there is Yan and Han coveted, and in the south With Cang Yue, how did Beiyu fall to the ground earlier? You, your grandfather, don't know! I want this third child to be divided, and then Qiang Ya, Baer, ​​Yan Han, Cang Yue, and the four families will be torn apart. Divide Qin?!"

Xu Li was stunned.

Emperor Ping continued, "I won't establish a crown prince, should I wait for the third son to force the palace, or will he force the sixth and seventh to die? Who do you think he hates? Lian Xiao? Lian Yuan? Lian Qi? Or Lian Jin? He hates it. The person is me, if I am gone, will the sixth and seventh survive?"

Xu Li froze completely.

"If you don't return to the DPRK now, what foundation will you have in the future! No matter who ascends the throne in the future, the new emperor must be assisted by someone he can trust. I trust you, and I also believe that you can be responsible for the Jiangshan society in the Western Qin Dynasty, but what about you? The prince is dead, and I have a son, which is no less sad than you, but I still have the country in my heart! What about you! You only have the dead prince in your heart! You have been thinking about him, and you can only be the first prince's grandfather! How to assist Jiangshan Sheji! But you remember what you said to me when you were going to be Taifu! Your ambition!"

Xu Li clenched his hands tightly, swallowed softly between his throat, and his hands trembled tightly because of excitement.

"If you don't return to the DPRK, you don't hold a lot of power, how much peace of mind will you have after my death?"

Xu Li raised his eyes in surprise.

Pingdi has returned to the seat just now, and said in a low voice, "I've said it clearly enough, you can go back and think for yourself."

There was a calmness in his voice, as if someone else had spoken before.

On the riverside, the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, and the screams, cheers, and shouts all reached their peak, and it was the final battle for the championship, so they completely concealed the previous words of the two in the surrounding noise.

Xu Li lowered his eyebrows.

***

In the stands, Zhuo Xin came back with a small lychee in his arms.

The final winning team has been born, and the Dragon Boat Festival has not been so lively for a long time. Later, His Majesty will personally reward the winning team.

Little Lizhi was so happy just now that she didn't think of her father for a while.

Now that he is back in the pavilion, he suddenly has to stick to his father.

Zhao Pingze took the little lychee from Zhuo's novice.

Xiao Lizhi smiled at Zhuo Xin.

Zhao Pingze was surprised.

Little Lizhi is mostly cautious with strangers. He did not expect that it would only be a dragon boat race. Little Lizhi and the second son Zhuoxin are already familiar with each other.

Zhuo Xin didn't notice either.

Because in the Wangfu Kindergarten, I have been immersed in my eyes and ears for a long time, I am used to seeing Shen Yue getting along with the children, and also know how to deal with and get along with the children according to their different personalities, so he will make Xiao Lizhi happy, and Xiao Lizhi is also willing to be with him one place.

Xiao Lizhi returned to Zhao Pingze's arms, and Zhuo Xincai brought up the business, "By the way, Uncle Six, Uncle Gongping, I was in the stands outside and saw Taifu going to His Majesty's place, and he didn't come out until the end of the game..."

After Zhuo Xin said that, both Zhuo Yuan and Zhao Pingze suddenly looked up at him.

The Taifu and His Majesty had a dispute in the Golden Palace over the death of the first prince. The doctor resigned and stayed away from officialdom since then.

I heard that His Majesty also asked him to return the court, but Xu Li declined.

But if you have been meeting with His Majesty in the main pavilion, it has not been so long since the end of the game...

Zhao Pingze looked at Zhuo Yuan hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it possible that Taifu is going back to court?"

Zhuo Xin also followed Zhao Pingze's gaze to look at Uncle Six.

But Zhuo Yuan didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.

——The Tianjia asked Xu Li to come back, so there would be no peace in the court.

***

The children came back from the morning run, so tired that they all ate at least two bowls of rice, and they were not very picky eaters. But the strange thing is that he was obviously tired, but he was not sleepy or drowsy.

And not only did not doze off, but more spirited!

How is this going!

After all, the children went back to the room to wash and change before heading to the side hall.

The side hall of Bieyuan on the outskirts of Beijing has now been transformed into a school, with desks, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Younger children are not used to it.

Older children know that the school they have seen before is like this.

When the children arrived, Master Cen had already arrived.

Speaking of the Master, in fact, it was only about thirty or forty. Because of reading, the whole person was full of bookish air, and stood in the hall. He was gentle and elegant, and when he opened his mouth, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

The morning classes were all taught by Master Cen, telling historical stories.

Cen Yun was a little surprised. Miss Shen had greeted him before, because today was the first day of the summer camp, and there was a morning run, so I was afraid that one or two children in the kindergarten would be left behind and couldn't finish the run. Procrastination, so classes may be delayed or even cancelled.

He was surprised then.

Can she really move this group of young ancestors in Beijing to run in the morning?

Cen Yun seemed to be almost impossible, so he was prepared to be late or even to cancel the class.

But I didn't expect that none of these ancestors left, and they all arrived in the side hall on time. Not only that, they didn't let others worry, they asked each other by themselves, and their seats were arranged harmoniously.

Cen Yun had also taught in the clan of several aristocratic families in Beijing earlier.

The older children, just fighting for their position, would have a lot of trouble, fighting and crying, not like this group of children at all. Clearly, each one seems to be smarter than the other, not dull at all, but it is like doing a small thing, a few words, "Can I sit next to you?", "Can we exchange places?" The most troublesome seat problem has been solved.

There was no bloodshed at all.

After teaching more children, Cen Yun rubbed his eyebrows, afraid that he was living in an illusion, but soon, he woke up again, because Xiao Wu suddenly said to Zige, "Hey, why should I sit behind you!"

Cen Yun just felt that the rhythm was right.

Cen Yun thought that Qi Ge was going to fight with Xiao Wu, but Ah Si suddenly said, "Then sit behind me."

"..." Xiao Wu was stunned.

Xiao Qi has already stood up, "Brother Fifth, let's change positions."

Xiao Wu was originally righteous, but as Si and Xiao Qi said so, Xiao Wu had to do it.

The problem is thus solved.

Cen Yun was dumbfounded.

The well-received fighting session in ethnology just came to an end before it even started. Until the end of the whole class, there was no obvious fight of words or fists between the children. What was even more surprising was that the whole class ended. In the middle of the palace, there was no one in the palace to serve, or someone to take care of it, as if they were not afraid that the ancestors would lift the house.

And indeed, the house was not demolished.

As a master, what I like most is that in my class, the children will listen carefully, the carefully prepared courses will interact, and the children will participate enthusiastically. All these, the children of Wangfu Kindergarten have achieved it.

And, whenever he asks a question, the kids rush to raise their hands.

Whoever he ordered, who said, the rest of the people at most sighed in disappointment and muttered, next time Master Cen, you order me!

After one class, it exceeded Cen Yun's expectations.

The children would ask a lot of strange questions around him, but Cen Yun was always patient and interested in answering them.

When the time came, the children lined up to wash their hands in an orderly line, and then took their plates to get the time, fruits, and water they wanted to eat. Even a group of children are making fruit tea by themselves under the care of scallion green? !

Cen Yun seemed to be looking at the Arabian Nights.

But seeing is believing.

Because the summer camp lasted about a month, Cen Yun also had a room in the other garden. When Cen Yun finished packing and was about to return to the room, Shen Yue came to the side hall.

There was a swimming lesson in the afternoon. She just watched the "pool" in Tongzhuoye. She came back a little late. Cen Yun's lessons here are over, and Shen Yue just asked, "Is the morning lesson still going well?"

Cen Yun sighed, "It went well, it went so well!"

It went well, but he was a little regretful that he didn't see the fight...

Cen Yun coughed lightly, hurriedly expelled these bizarre thoughts out of his mind, and sighed with Shen Yue, "This should be the most orderly child I've ever taught. He is the most active, active, and the classroom atmosphere is very good, really. It couldn't be better."
