After being reborn, being alone as a queen

Mu Xiu finally glanced down between his eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Sanyuan, shut up."

Sanyuan, who had never seen his face like this before, also felt very wronged: "Your Highness!"

Mu Xiu stepped forward to block Song Huai'an, and said coldly: "No need to say more, you can go back to the yard and rest, Zhao Chengde."

Zhao Chengde, who was guarding the door, immediately opened the door and came in: "Young Master Sanyuan, let's go."

Sanyuan still wants to talk

Zhao Chengde said: "Young Master Sanyuan, please don't make His Highness angry, it will not be worth the loss if you are sent back to the empress's palace."

Only now, San Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then Your Highness...the servant is retiring."

Mu Xiu was not very happy, so naturally he didn't say a word.

It was already late at night, only Mu Xiu and Song Huai'an were left in the study, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

A light as a feather brushes by

a slightly rushed

Song Huaian was forcibly pulled back from that rainy night from the moment Mu Xiu made his voice. He lowered his head to calm his breath, and a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him. shadow.

That man created a world exclusive to him.

Song Huaian Yu Sheng took a few deep breaths after the catastrophe, and raised his head, his eyes were not very red in the shadows.

But Mu Xiu still saw it

No matter how calm his mind is, he is still just a child who has not grown up at this time, he will cry, make trouble and get angry

He stretched out his hand out of nowhere, and caressed the cheek of the young man in front of him. Cold tears were already on the pad of his thumb, which was wet.

Fingertips brushed the hair on Song Huaian's temples: "Don't cry."

He has beautiful facial features, phoenix eyes and thin lips, and when he cries, he is no better than a pitiful woman with pear blossoms and rain.

Especially this kind of silent crying is even more heart-wrenching.

He must have suffered a lot.

Song Huaian froze in place, his pupils constricted suddenly

I can't remember how many years ago, his mother gently stroked the hair on her temples and said, "Huai'an, you have to remember that someone who touches you like mother must love you."

must be... love you

At that time, he didn't know what kind of love his mother was talking about, but he instinctively felt flustered in his heart and fled.

Mu Xiu looked at the open door, then at the palm standing in the distance, slightly dazed

After a long while, I slowly recovered, glanced at the clean rice paper on the desk, sighed, sat down resignedly, picked up a pen and began to copy.

The candles were ignited bit by bit with the long night, leaving only wax oils of various shapes.

The first thing the Tai Tuo did when he entered the study the next day was to check his copying homework.

Song Huaian stood up, and just about to say that he didn't copy it, he saw Mu Xiu standing up: "Teacher, my palace supervised his copying last night, this is copied."

The Taifu took the paper from Mu Xiu's hand suspiciously, his face changed in shock, and just as he was about to get angry, he saw the yellow figure of Daoming standing by the window of the upper study.

Knowing that he had been discovered, the Southern Chu Emperor strode in.

His appearance is cold and hard, with sharp edges and corners, handsome and impeccable, with a bit of flair in his eyebrows and eyes.

A group of children in the study room were about to salute, but he stopped him with his hand: "There are no monarchs and ministers in the study room."

The Taifu's face was still ugly, and he cupped his hands and said, "My minister Li Yu has seen the emperor."

The Emperor of Nanchu raised his hand: "Teacher please, I'm just here to see you, you don't need to take care of me, you are the greatest teacher in the study."

He saw the rice paper rolled into a roll in Li Yu's hand, and said, "What is this?"

Li Yu said unhappily: "Responding to His Majesty's words, yesterday when I was in class, I asked His Highness's new companion to copy the sentence he answered wrong in the Analects of Confucius eight times a hundred times. This is just handed in by His Highness the Crown Prince."

The Emperor of Southern Chu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let me take a look."

The Tai Tuo offered: "Please, Your Majesty."

The emperor of Southern Chu took the stack of papers and flipped through the pages one by one. The handwriting on the rice paper was smooth and smooth.

It's obviously Mu Xiu's words, without any concealment.

Song Huai'an could feel the scorching gazes behind him, either ridiculed, bewildered, or expecting

For a while, the study room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the brush running on the rice paper

The Emperor of Southern Chu did not get angry, but looked at Mu Xiu: "Xiu'er, do you have anything to say about this?"

Mu Xiu pursed his lips, raised his hand and said, "Royal Father, it is true that this thing was not copied by Huai'an, but by my son."

The Emperor of Southern Chu said indifferently: "Tell me the reason."

"The sage said: It is the fault of the father for not raising him, the laziness of the teacher for not being strict in teaching, the master Taifu devoted himself to his sons and ministers and Huai'an, the sons can see clearly, the sons make mistakes, and the companions are punished, then on the contrary, the companions who make mistakes should be punished. accept."

As soon as he said this, the other accompanying readers were stunned.

The Taifu said angrily: "Your Highness! Since ancient times, only the companion has been punished for the prince. When will there be a prince who has been punished for the companion? Not to mention you are the majestic Prince! What a noble status!"

Mu Xiu said sincerely: "Master Tai Tu, the princes and generals are kind to each other."

The Tai Tuo stiffened his neck, but he couldn't refute it, he could only scold angrily: "Absurd!"

The Emperor of Southern Chu looked at the prince, instead of being angry, he smiled, and said, "Li Qing, since the prince is willing to replace it with his own body, he has indeed copied it a hundred times without cutting corners, so let's just leave it at that."

The emperor had already spoken, what else could the Taifu say, he could only let everyone open their books and start teaching courses.

Right now, half of the eyes in the study room are on Song Huai'an's back, partly in amazement and jealousy.

As a mere accompanist, how could it not be enviable to have such a blessing from the prince.

The emperor of Southern Chu didn't come to the study often, but once he came, he had to wait until after class, so that everyone listened to the class carefully all day long, and no one dared to desert under the eyes of the emperor.

After leaving the upper study room, he walked for a while and passed the stone bridge that must be passed.

Song Huaian struggled for a moment, and said: "Your Highness..."

Mu Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"

He originally wanted to ask what time he wrote last night before going to bed, but the exit became

"Why isn't Sanyuan here?"

Mu Xiu glanced at him sideways, as if a little surprised.

"He speaks without restraint. The Japanese palace has punished him to reflect in his room these few days. Huai'an, don't get angry with him."

Song Huaian looked at the faint black eyes under his eyes, speechless.

This man is really...

At this point, is it still other people's business that you worry about in your heart?

"Your Highness, you should go back to the East Palace first. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something from the upper study."

Song Huaian said.

Mu Xiu asked, "What is it? Would you like to send someone to get it?"

Song Huaian said: "It's not something important, I'll just get it myself."

"Then go and come back quickly."

Song Huaian quietly turned back to the upper study room. He guessed right. There were still people in the upper study room who hadn't left. They were the Emperor of Southern Chu and Grand Tutor Li Yu.

At this time, he thought of Mu Xiu's situation. He was obviously the prince, but he was insulted by words.

Of course, it's one thing for Mu Xiu to be too kind

But at this moment, Song Huai'an wanted to know more about how important the crown prince was in the emperor's heart.

He found a fairly safe place to listen to the corner

Li Yu said: "Your Majesty, is it wrong for you to indulge His Highness the Prince?"

The Emperor of Southern Chu put down the book in his hand, and said slowly: "Li Qing, as the Grand Tutor, don't you know better whether I condone the Crown Prince?"

Of course Li Yu knew what the group of children had done in the past, so he thought for a moment and said, "That's just now..."

The Emperor of Southern Chu got up and said: "Xiu'er is a very good prince, but not a good king. He is too kind. I think his companion is shrewd. Can Li Qing understand what I mean?"

Li Yu thought for a while, but still said: "Forgive me for being dull."

The Emperor of Nanchu squinted at him and smiled: "You are still so cautious. As the crown prince, Xiu'er must understand that he is responsible for any decision he makes, no matter whether he can afford it or... Can not afford."

Li Yu looked solemn: "I understand."

Sure enough, none of the emperors was stupid.

This is to use his hand to teach the prince an unforgettable lesson. As a humble companion, he doesn't even have the right to refuse.

......

Mu Xiu didn't know what Song Huaian heard when he went back to the study that day, but he found that although he often went to class, he was still out of shape, his expression was lazy, and his study attitude was extremely improper, but he never slept again.

On this day, Mu Xiu led Song Huaian through many palaces and came to a quiet palace.

Song Huai'an looked at the plaque above his head and read: "Xianfu Palace? This palace is so remote, why did Your Highness bring me here?"

Mu Xiu led him by the hand: "You'll know when you go in."

Two half-grown teenagers pushed open the heavy palace gate. There were no flowers, plants, or rockeries and ponds in the palace, which looked very empty.

I haven't even seen a servant in the palace

Only a few ginkgo trees are sparsely planted, which are green and towering.

A little boy came out of the attic with a broom. Seeing Mu Xiu's eyes lit up, he ran over quickly: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Mu Xiu rubbed his hair and said, "I'm here to see Master Guo Shi, I wonder if he's here?"

The little boy said: "Master is in the attic, I will take His Royal Highness up there."

Xiao Tong led Mu Xiu to the front, and Song Huaian followed slowly.

On the top floor of the attic, I don't know if it's because it's too high or what. There is no wind today, but the wind here is extremely strong.

The terrace is wide open, and white gauze is flying inside the house.

A figure sat on the futon, in a state of concentration.

The little boy said: "Master, His Royal Highness is here to visit."

Song Huaian looked at the figure behind the heavy white gauze, and the attic fell into silence for a moment. After such a long time, since the first time he saw this national teacher, he felt that this person was mysterious.

After a while, an old voice came from behind the white gauze: "Little boy, step back and make a pot of good tea."

"Yes."

The boy stepped back

After the sound of his footsteps disappeared, Mu Xiu said, "My lord, I am disturbing you by visiting without permission."

The national teacher said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's visit this time is definitely not for drinking tea, right? If you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly."

Mu Xiudao: "You can't hide anything from Master Guoshi. When I was a child, my father told me many times how powerful Master Guoshi is. I came here this time just to let someone worship you as a teacher."

The national teacher was silent for a moment: "What is the birth date?"

Mu Xiu reported the truth.

The national teacher pinched his fingers and counted, and said after a while: "He is a good seedling of cultivation, but His Highness, I have no plans to accept disciples."

It just so happens that I have no plans to become a teacher.

Song Huaian thought coldly.

Although the national teacher's face was covered by layers of curtains, he seemed to hear his heartfelt voice: "Besides, Young Master Song, I'm afraid you don't want to worship me, a useless old magic stick."

Song Huaian's face froze, thinking that he must have heard what he said last time in the garden that the old man was a magic stick.

Mu Xiu looked at Song Huaian: "Huai'an, are you willing?"

Of course Song Huai'an was unwilling, but the moment he met Mu Xiu's eyes, his truth was stuck in his throat

"It's up to His Highness to decide."

No one noticed that the national teacher behind the curtain raised the corners of his lips

Mu Xiu received an accurate answer from Song Huai'an, and then turned to the direction of the National Teacher, and sincerely said, "I don't know how to accept Huai'an as a disciple, Master National Teacher? Can you point out the way."

The national teacher hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness has also seen that in this palace, the boy usually cleans it alone. Since you want to worship me as a teacher, you have to divide the labor. As long as you can do it for seven or forty-nine days, the minister will accept him. , then...Young Master Song can do it?"

Mu Xiu recalled the area of ​​Xianfu Palace, slightly raised his brows, worried: "This..."

Even if it is half of the Xianfu Palace, it is still a bit far-fetched for Song Huai'an today.

What's more, you have to persist for 49 days

The national teacher shook his head: "If you can't do it, please go back, Your Highness."

Song Huaian stared at the figure behind the white gauze, and said, "There's nothing you can't do."

Now, Mu Xiu was in a hurry.

"Huai'an?"

Song Huaian comforted: "Your Highness, I know that you are doing it for my own good. The National Teacher has saved your life. Only by entrusting me to him can you rest assured. How can I be willing to let you down? Don't worry, I can of."

Mu Xiu hesitated, "Really?"

Song Huaian said: "Really."
