Seeing her like this, Lin Yun couldn't help saying: "You're still laughing. Seriously, I heard that you went to the Ling family's old house again? Did my old lady make things difficult for you?"

Her old lady is Ling Tiao.Pei Se recalled that summer morning when she was sweating coldly, and she still had lingering fears, but shook her head: "The old lady is doing it for my own good."

Lin Yun knew in his heart that Pei Se owed a mountain of favor to the Ling family, and Mrs. Ling was really harsh on Pei Se, almost never pretending to be a prince, like a prince who couldn't speak well, Pushing Pei Se to death, Pei Se's visit to Ling's house is like being peeled off.Lin Yun didn't know what to say to comfort others. Seeing that Pei Se's expression had changed, he could only say: "My grandma is such a blame-seeking person, please ignore it..."

Pei Se opened her eyes and sat down again, "I know, I appreciate it."

Lin Yun raised one leg and scoffed, "I appreciate it! You still appreciate it when you beat you every day. Why don't you just divide you into pieces and bury you alive in Pingyang and border areas." He took off his cloak again, "Is it okay to drive at night? I think, why is Pingyang so hot this year? It has caught up with the years when I was in the palace."

Pei Se seemed a little dazed: "How many years have you been in the palace? When have you been in the palace?"

Lin Yun resisted the urge to kick her, and reached out to touch her forehead: "Pei Se, are you okay? Why are you so stupid? We studied with the Taifu together when we were young, have you forgotten?"

Oh, those years when I studied with the Taifu together.

At that time, the name of the Taifu could still be mentioned, and she and Dai Wang were only seven or eight years old. Dai Wang was already a vermin who shouted to fight and kill. Lin Yun was younger. Although his surname was Ling at that time, he was already in the army For a few years, even if you wipe your nose, you have to be a bully.The two could fight if they didn't agree, and Pei Se couldn't pull them apart, so she was so anxious to ask the tutor for help.Chang Yu and Jin Ming were both four or five years old, sitting on the table like two milky snow balls, grabbing Zhuang Jieyun's hand to prevent him from writing, causing them to cry and laugh for a while.

Zhuang Jieyun's voice became hoarse from his lectures, and he felt that the children in front of him were like gourds floating in a water tank. When one was pressed down, the other floated up again.At that time, he was still young, and although he was already an official, he was still dressed in blue and white, with an outstanding demeanor, refreshing and neat.After all, he was young, so he couldn't learn to look after children no matter what, so he was sweating in embarrassment here, and he almost suspected that King Qi asked himself to look after the children in the harem.Finally, Dai Wang and Lin Yun sat down obediently, but Changyu was still hanging on his arm and refused to get off, babbling to take off a sapphire ring from his hand.Zhuang Jieyun quickly pressed Chang Yu's hand, and said helplessly, "Doesn't the princess care about my younger brother?"

Pei Se sat upright in her dark clothes, but no one could see that she was missing a robe because she was afraid of the heat.Her two eyes were pitch-black, and there was a quiet lake in the pupils. When she raised her face at this moment, the light of the lake did not fluctuate at all, "Teacher, my father said that my younger brother is still young, and it is my nature to be innocent and mischievous. Discipline." Then he added in a low voice in his heart: "Besides, the queen mother will be unhappy if she finds out."

Although the queen is her aunt, she was quite gentle in the first few years, but after having Changyu, she doted on Changyu so much that she didn't even bother to talk to her and Dai Wang, Dai Wang didn't care much, but she was afraid of.

Naturally, Zhuang Jieyun didn't hear her small voice in his heart, wiped off his sweat and took off Chang Yu, who was wiping his nose from his arm, and put it into her arms: "Don't be afraid, if your father asks, just say it's Mrs. It was taught by Fu. Tai Tu will come back after drinking some water, and I will leave it to you here."

Pei Se had no choice but to hug Chang Yu, and Chang Yu behaved in her arms, hanging on her neck: "Sister! It's so hot, Chang Yu doesn't want to study!"

Pei Se said helplessly, "What book are you reading? Have you read all the words?"

Dai Wang and Lin Yun united together in a rare way at this time, and laughed at him together: "Changyu, how old are you, why haven't you read all the words?"

Jin Ming wore two small pigtails, and his long black hair hung down on his bright yellow clothes. There was a kind of softness and liveliness. He imitated his older brothers and sisters inarticulately: "Changyu, how old are you?"

When Changyu was told by these brothers and sisters, he just smirked, but when Jin Mingyi said it, he suddenly became anxious, broke free from Pei Se's arms, and said angrily, "I'm five years old!"

Dai Wang thought he was already a big boy, once Zhuang Jieyun left, he would not like to play with these baby-sounding younger brothers and sisters, so he immediately urged Lin Yan and Pei Se: "Go out and compete in archery!"

Lin Yun rushed out ahead of him, and before he ran out, he didn't forget to pull Pei Se's hair, "Just compare!"

Pei Se knew that the two of them liked to ride and shoot, and King Qi specially arranged for the commander of the guards to teach them, so he was not worried.For a while, Chen Kai, Changyu's attendant, came up to refill them with tea, and said: "Princess and Second Young Master don't need to worry too much about this, but they are young sons, so they should learn carefully!"

Changyu poked his head out of Pei Se's arms, a little aggrieved, "Why don't sister and brother use it?"

Chen Kai had followed him for many years, but he was familiar with him, and said in a low voice: "Princess is a woman, she doesn't need to be an emperor."

Chang Yu looked at Pei Se, Pei Se lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were rolled up to cover the deep pupils.He looked away and blinked again: "What about brother?"

Chen Kaidao: "Second Young Master... Second Young Master is no more than Xiao Shizi, who is the queen's descendant."

Chang Yu asked, "What does that mean?"

It was only then that Chen Kai felt a little embarrassed: "That is to say... only Xiao Shizi was born to the Queen!"

Chang Yu said bluntly: "You are talking nonsense, my sister is also born to a queen, so my sister should learn more!"

Pei Se hugged him off the ground, "Chen Kai."

Chen Kai knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, this eldest princess was very wise, and she shouldn't have said such things in front of her.It was just now that Chang Yu had really made a fuss in front of the Grand Tutor, he was anxious, fearing that the queen would punish him, so he said a few more words, but he didn't expect the eldest princess to have such majesty at such a young age, so he had no choice but to salute and retreat.

Pei Se reckoned that Zhuang Jieyun was just going to drink some water, he went there for a while, and he would probably be back, but Dai Wang and Lin Yun were still playing outside.There were not many people serving in the study, so she had no choice but to hold Chang Yu with one hand and Jin Ming with the other, and go out to call them.In summer, fiery red hibiscus flowers bloomed in Pingyang Palace, and they never flinched in the scorching sun. Changyu liked it at the first sight, pointing to the flower tree and shouting: "Sister Wang, I want flowers!"

Jin Ming also shook Pei Se's hand, "Sister, I want it too!"

Pei Se walked over, picked a few flowers on her feet and handed them to them. Unexpectedly, the two children immediately started living together, arranging flowers on each other's heads, and chatting to themselves. What.Speaking of joy, Chang Yu suddenly took a few steps back and sneezed loudly with an "Ah Choo".Jin Ming couldn't stop giggling, Chang Yu was a little annoyed, but then panicked, "Sister Wang, there are bees!"

Pei Se saw that there were indeed bees flying towards his head full of hibiscus flowers, buzzing and approaching, she quickly took the hands of the two children and ran to the study, calling someone: "Come here!" Before running a few steps , Changyu had already let out an "oops", Pei Se knew something was wrong, Changyu was stung by a bee, and was about to look back, and then a woman's angry voice sounded behind him: "What are you doing in a daze?" ? Why don’t you rush to catch the bees? Call the medical officer! Princess, stop!”

Pei Se stopped and saluted, the queen walked over in a few steps, hugged Changyu in her arms and looked at it, it turned out that she hadn't been bitten by bees yet, so she couldn't help but blame: "Changyu, you haven't been bitten, what's your name? "

Changyu said aggrievedly: "The flowers Sister Wang gave me are gone..." Although he was young, he also knew that he could not call his sister casually in front of his mother.

Then the queen saw the fiery red hibiscus flowers on his head, and couldn't help getting angry, picked a few handfuls of the flowers on his head and threw them on the ground, then raised her voice and cursed: "Who is following the princess today? Come out!"

In fact, Pei Se stayed in the study for a long time every time, and there were no palace people around at this time as usual.Seeing that no one responded, the head of the study had no choice but to stand up bravely and say: "Madam, it's the villain who didn't take care of the princess and the prince..."

The queen was even angrier when she heard this: "Guard the prince? Who are you? You control the prince? The prince will inherit the great power in the future. Today, you are here with flowers and bees. How is it proper? When someone makes gossip, it's your fault." Can you afford it?"

Pei Se didn't know this person, but he also understood that he came out to top the vat, and also understood that the queen accused Sang and Huai of causing trouble for this person.I had no choice but to explain: "Mother, in fact, it was during the lecture break, and the minister took Wangdi out to play, and it's none of other people's business."

The queen snorted coldly: "The princess is smart and sensible about this matter, not only the harem, but also inside and outside the court and the field. Bring the prince out to play, and play with flowers on your head? Princess, I know you are precocious, but I don't see you You can play tricks like this at a young age."

Pei Se still wanted to argue, but she knew that something might happen, she knelt down as soon as she gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "I ask my mother to punish me."

Changyu in the queen's arms also understood a little bit. Seeing that Pei Se was kneeling on the ground, his face began to turn pale, and regardless of whether he lost face with Jin Ming, he burst into tears at the top of his voice: "Mother! It's Changyu who wants to wear it." Don't blame Sister Wang, blame Changyu for the flowers..."

As soon as he cried for the queen, his heart ached, and he still couldn't forget to show shame to Pei Se, and while wiping Chang Yu's face that was flushed from crying with a handkerchief, he said softly, "Your Majesty, I don't blame you, you are not wrong. "

Zhuang Jieyun hurried back after hearing the letter, and took a breath before saluting: "The villain sees the queen."

The Queen knew that the Grand Tutor could talk in front of the King of Qi, so she was very polite: "Teacher, you can teach here, how can you teach the prince to be full of flowers?"

Zhuang Jieyun understood the situation a little bit after seeing the situation, explained a few words to the queen, and then accepted a few words of guilt, and then said: "What's wrong with the princess?"

Seeing that the queen was silent, Pei Se had no choice but to raise her head: "Teacher, it's because I didn't take good care of the younger brother..."

Zhuang Jieyun looked at her dripping sweat, smiled and patted her on the back of the head: "How old is the princess, why do you have to bear such a heavy responsibility? The son is studying here with the Taifu, and he always asks the Taifu for anything. The princess gets up Bar?"

He pulled Pei Se up, looked around Dai Wang, Lin Yun and Jin Ming who were too scared to speak, and smiled, "Queen, on this hot day, the children are afraid of heatstroke if they stand under the sun. Let them go back to the study to rest, and they will teach later."

The queen agreed, and Dai Wang pushed Pei Se and led the people in.Zhuang Jieyun still stood still, "My lord? Do you still want to go to class today?"

Changyu moved in the queen's arms, and said in a low voice, "Queen, I still have to learn how to read!"

Only then did she remember Chang Yu in her arms, put Chang Yu down, and straightened his hair, "Go in."

Seeing Chang Yu wandering into the study, Zhuang Jieyun remembered to salute the queen.Looking back, the queen had already led the people away, presumably because she was angry.

The queen is angry, why not Zhuang Jieyun?As soon as he turned around, he closed the door of the study room, but saw several children sitting neatly, as if they were waiting to listen to the training.Dai Wang and Lin Yun played with dirt all over their heads, Jin Ming still had a few hibiscus flowers on his head, Chang Yu blushed from crying, his ears were red and his hair was messy, Pei Se's face was still white, but his head was covered with sweat. After wiping it clean, he sat with his back straight and his shoulders flat.

In fact, they are all just children. If they are in a wealthy family, this should be the age when they play the craziest.Zhuang Jieyun sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "What are you afraid of? Can the master eat you?"

Changyu wanted to cry, but also wanted to bear it, so he gasped and said, "Teacher, I was wrong."

Zhuang Jieyun said: "You are not wrong, the Taifu forgot to tell you earlier." He took a sip of water, sat down again, and then said: "The Taifu forgot to tell you, one day sat in your seat, Just don't relax for a day—not to mention a day, even an hour. Miss Ling, General Ling trusts his subordinates, can you ask him to let your father be a general for a day because of this? Miss Jin, Mr. Jin is considerate of the people, but Can he really spend a season working in the fields? Princess, second son, son, you are all smart children, but can your father let you be the king for him for a day?"

Changyu stopped crying, and stared at him with wide eyes, a little confused.

Zhuang Jieyun continued: "You are not the children of ordinary people, you are the proud sons of heaven, among the dragons and phoenixes among the people. Your words and deeds, every movement, will not only fall into the eyes of others, but also represent the demeanor of the princes and princes. You should be a model for all people. You were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you were worshiped by all people since you were young. You are not rewarded for your meritorious deeds. Every piece of clothing and every meal of yours is a powerful country that seeks hegemony and dominates the world. Mission. Your identities are destined by God to bear the welfare of the people and the glory of the family. If you are negligent and self-willed for a while, you will have troubles like today. Today you are just picking flowers in the palace and hurting the palace people. Who knows that you will make mistakes tomorrow Will this small step make the countryside bloody and rampant?"

In Tai Tu's words, there are some hints of caring about gods and ghosts, and there is a certain sense of fate that is both sacred and treacherous.Even Dai Wang couldn't help sitting upright, watching the Tai Tuo's gaze closely.

Zhuang Jieyun leaned slightly and approached a few people, "As for the way of the king, let me tell you. To be a king, or even the emperor of Chaoge, the most important thing is not the blood relatives of parents, but the relationship between the people and the people. Family members, treat each other with sincerity, respect each other with reason, and treat each other with benevolence. If there is a king who can do this, the existence of the king himself is better than any powerful weapon. You are the most respected people in Qi, and you should restrain your self-examination , do more benevolence and righteousness, and be lenient to the people. Right?"

The scorching sun in the summer afternoon transpired the water vapor in the palace courtyard, and the smell of dry plants mixed with the fragrance of fresh floral tea filled the room.The Taifu is still young, and there is no Sichuan character line as deep as a knife carving between his eyebrows. The young eyes under the long eyebrows are a little bit sly, and there is a bit of a gentle smile.

Pei Se was distracted by that smile for a while, only to feel a soreness in his throat in a trance, and with this sourness, the old things are far away in the hot summer.Opening his eyes, he saw that the voices of people on the official road outside the carriage window gradually faded away, and he had already left Pingwang City.In front is Pingyang again, and there are many palaces.Within the king's city, who knows what night it will be.
