Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The next day was the day when the fourth grandson officially entered the Faxin Academy. Ling Xiao and the fourth grandson respectfully kowtowed to the princes and teachers together, and started their studies.

The Chu Dynasty is still very tolerant to the princes and grandchildren, and will not torture the prince like the Qing Dynasty. Ling Xiao came to school, listened to the master's lecture for two hours every morning, took a break at noon, and studied in the afternoon Two hours of riding and shooting or calligraphy and painting, the task of the day is over.

Moreover, the fourth prince has just entered school, and the lessons Ling Xiao already knows are taught, and the masters of riding and shooting do not dare to teach them. Every afternoon, the martial arts masters lead the fourth prince and Ling Xiao to do the five-animal show a few times.

The fourth prince is cute and has no temper, and there is even the second prince's grandson, Chu Yifeng. He originally admired Ling Xiao, but now he likes it even more when he sees a real person. He likes to talk to Ling Xiao, and he teaches Ling Xiao and the fourth prince hand in hand in riding and shooting every afternoon, and they are very close for a while.

Ling Xiao's life is very nourishing.

The old emperor was very relieved to know that the fourth prince had also started to study. One morning, he made a surprise inspection and brought a few old eunuchs over excitedly. He saw Jiang University shaking his head while reading "Mencius", and the fourth prince was seated below. With his head down, his immature little head was a little sad and half-hanging, the old emperor took a closer look, drink!I slept soundly!

Then I turned my head to look at the grandson of Ling's family who was studying with me, well, he was sleeping well too, with his slender left hand spread out on the desk, holding a book loosely, his head resting on his right hand, his blue hair was slightly scattered, and his eyebrows were picturesque ...

"My lord..." Jiang Dashi knelt down to pay respects, Ling Xiao nodded and woke up, seeing that it was the emperor, he calmly put the things in his arms under the table, stood up and pulled up the sleeping four The grandsons of the emperor and the grandsons of the four emperors stood up staringly, rubbing their eyes, and kowtowed together with Ling Xiao in an orderly manner.

The old emperor couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't have much expectations for this emperor's grandson, so this is too loose!With a straight face, he taught: "Before, I cried and argued with me all day long to come and study with my brothers. How did I really read it! I don't grow up!"

The grandson of the four emperors hadn't woken up yet, and he was very angry about getting up, and said softly: "Oh..."

The emperor had no choice but to deal with these little grandsons, he had never been able to show the kind of ruthlessness he had towards his sons, so he looked at Ling Xiao helplessly, and sighed: "Xiao'er... how old are you than the emperor's grandson, what do you want to do?" Come out with a look! You have always been smart, how can you be like this?!"

Ling Xiao was shocked by the tortuous sound of "Xiao'er", completely relieved of sleepiness, bowed and said, "It's all my fault."

The old emperor still had a good impression of Lord Ling's grandson. Seeing Ling Xiao's appearance became more and more suave now, and he lost his temper. He just said with a tiger face: "If you know something is wrong, you must correct it!"

Ling Xiao consciously moved towards his table, the old emperor's eyes were sharp, he caught him with a "hey", and gossiped, "What is that?! What is that?!"

Ling Xiao frowned in embarrassment, and reluctantly turned the table

He took out the dried fruit box below, and whispered guiltyly: "Dried fruit..."

"Speak up!" The old emperor was a little deaf, and the eunuch beside him took the box and opened it. The old emperor couldn't help laughing...

"Sure enough, he is the grandson of Chunqiu, and he has the same habit of eating nuts..." The old emperor was caught up in the memories of conquering the world, and said with a smile, "At that time, when he was chased away by the Qiao cavalry army, he didn't even have time to close the camp. Your grandfather escaped with a box of hazelnuts in his arms, commanding the breakout..."

Ling Xiao lowered his head and smiled: "Grandpa often told me about the past, saying that I didn't keep up with my good ones, and that my greedy problems followed suit."

"Haha, you are still young, you should be greedy." The old emperor thought of many benefits of Ling Chunqiu in the past, and rewarded Ling Xiao with a few boxes of nuts when he was happy, and said with a smile, "I'll go and see Jin'er Fenger and the others, Are you dozing off too?"

Ling Xiao and the fourth emperor's grandson sent off the emperor respectfully. After leaving the courtyard, the old emperor asked Eunuch Feng to explain to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ling Xiao's nuts must not be short. For a while, the palace was full of rumors that the fourth prince accompanied Ling Xiao and Ling Xiao was very popular with the emperor. favorite.

Ling Xiao has always been cautious and polite, but that day he suddenly felt guilty and wanted to block the box of dried fruit, and the emperor found out that it brought back the memory of the emperor, and then won the emperor's favor, isn't it a coincidence?Who knows!

Ling Xiao watched the servants in his courtyard become more respectful, the things they sent became more exquisite, and their smiles became brighter.

Knowing that Ling Xiao has won the emperor's reward, the crown princess feels even more face-changing, look!have a look!My natal sister's child, who was picked up, won the emperor's favor.The prince's concubines were already extremely flattering, and they immediately followed the crown princess's wishes and praised Ling Xiao higher and higher, from Ling Xiao to Wei Zhuang, and from Wei Zhuang to the Crown Princess's mother's home, the Jingguo Mansion , the princess was even more comfortable, and immediately gave Ling Xiao a lot of things.

Ling Xiao left behind some idiots of gold and silver. There were too many places where he needed rewards for living in the palace, and the monthly 20 taels of silver in the Hou's mansion was simply not enough.The rest of the things were sent back to the Shoukanghou mansion, and presented to Lord Ling and Mrs. Shi, and the exquisite gadgets were given to the younger sister.Ling Xuan and Ling Yi?The eunuch sent back by Ling Xiao didn't mention these two people at all.

Immediately, Ling Xiao gained a good name again: the young master of Shoukanghou's mansion is filial!So filial!All the things rewarded by the emperor and princess were given to the elders in the family. How rare is this kind of filial piety!

The people in the palace are the most talkative, and they can say whatever good things they see from the master's wink. Everyone knows that the princess likes Ling Xiao, but now even the emperor likes Ling Xiao. From time to time, he asks him about his homework and gives him something. The people below don't know how to speak and how to be filial, so they have served in the palace for so many years in vain.

Within a month, Ling Xiao had gained a firm foothold in the palace, and even Lord Ling stroked his beard and sighed every now and then: blue comes out of blue...

Inside the house gate, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Although the Xia family's wind in Shoukanghou's mansion rarely wins, it has been suppressed too low recently. When the little eunuch came, he sang according to the list drawn up by Ling Xiao. When Lord Ling was finished, it was Mrs. Shi's, and Mrs. Shi was finished by Ling Confucianism. Ling Confucianism was less, and the singing was finished in a while, and the rest was all Ling Zhi's. .The two concubine young masters and young ladies have nothing.

Fortunately for Ling Xuan, he usually works in the yamen now. Ling Yi has just released his foot restraint and is at home all day. Slap her in the air, and after slapping side A, slap side B.

Ling Pheasant is the most innocent. Ling Xiao sent a bunch of gems and she immediately put them on her hands. Ling Xiao sent a few pieces of brocade and she went to the knitting mother to cut clothes that day. She was happy every day. In Ling Yi's eyes, there are all thorns.

In the morning, Ling Yi went to Mrs. Shi's place to invite Ann out, and she put down her face as soon as she left the courtyard, and hurried all the way into the west courtyard.

Ling Yi sat down on the couch, took a sip of the tea handed over by the girl, then slapped it on the small case in the girl's hand, and the cup of broken tea flowed.

"Why is this unhappy?" Xia Lan let the girls go out with a wink, and took Ling Yi's hand: "Good boy, what's the matter? Didn't you go to say hello?"

Ling Yi blushed tenderly, and said harshly: "What's the matter, what's the matter, can it still be like this?! Why didn't you go to pay your respects? My aunt has been praising the satin that Lingzhi is wearing today. She picked up Gao Zhi Flying away, who would take me seriously! Even the maids and women in the mansion are becoming more and more powerful, seeing Ling Zhi is like seeing a phoenix, I am afraid that there will be too many good things to say!"

Xia Lan and Ling Yi are in the same line, so they naturally knew what their daughter was thinking, and sighed: "You also have a tribute, what are you doing with the hot-eyed second lady? Besides, your brother has an official position now, and it will get better soon."

"How does brother's compare with other people's?!" Ling Yi felt resentful in her heart. She had never hated Ling Xiao and Ling Zhi siblings for no reason. It stands to reason that they should be incompatible by nature, but Ling Xiao and Ling Zhi never Having targeted her, Ling Yi knew that every time Mrs. Shi looked at her from Ling Xiao, Ling Yi knew that they never took her seriously!

Ling Yi hated the indifferent eyes they gave her when they looked at her. It was an innate sense of superiority, and they would not target you because they never took you seriously.

Ling Yi couldn't stand this due to her own inferiority complex, so she liked to compete for favor in front of Ling Ruxue, showing off what she had in front of them frequently.

Xia Lan is 36 years old this year. With a natural beauty and proper maintenance, her charm still exists. She caressed the beauty's temples and sighed: "Be patient, look at my mother... I have endured it for so many years, and I am nothing. You can't even take care of your natal family, if your father hadn't been kind to our mother three, we would have been tortured to death by them."

Of course this Ling Yi knows, that's why she has always been very filial to Ling Ruxue, the only thing she can rely on now is the favor of Ling Ruxue, her natal family...

Ling Yi's heart moved, she took Xia Lan's hand, and said softly: "I remember... There is a kid in the Xia family, he is already 17 years old this year."

"Yeah." Xia Lan nodded, "My natal brother's child, Xia Guang. He is seventeen this year. He doesn't like a girl from a poor family, but who cares about him from a rich family? He is still dreaming, and always wants me to help... Who knows that I can't say a word in this Marquis's mansion? I can only let them hope in vain."

"It's not necessarily in vain..." Ling Yi raised one corner of his mouth and said softly, "Don't you see them occasionally, this time you just said that you have something to ask them to come, let's lure Xia Guang in quietly, and directly lure them in." Go to Shuyuxuan..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xia Lan turned pale with fright, "My eldest lady! What are you talking about? If people find out about this, they will kill him!"

Ling Yi curled her lips: "What's the point of this? Let's just say that he has never been in the compound from a poor family, but he came in and bumped into it! Those who don't know are not guilty. Grandpa always pays attention to face, and he will definitely not do it privately." When it comes to the dead, besides, Xia Guang is not our family's slave, so why kill him? Grandpa and the others will only suppress the matter for the sake of Ling Zhi's reputation..."

The more Ling Yi thought about it, the more appropriate she continued: "At that time...the best thing is to let Ling Zhi marry Xia Guang, then your status will not be what it is now, and it will be an honor for the Xia family to marry the daughter of the Hou family. Even if If Grandpa and the others keep this matter down, then we will spread the word, Ling Zhi's reputation as a boudoir has been ruined, and it is impossible to marry a good family."

Ling Yi smiled fiercely, she just couldn't see that Ling Zhi was better than her.

Xia Lan is a little loose, and I have to say that the first thing Ling Yi said really moved her heart. She was originally based on her face. able……

"No, no, no." Xia Lan shook her head, "How many floors does it take to go from me to the second lady's, after entering four or five gates, even if you enter the second gate, you can't get in anyway!"

Ling Yi frowned slightly, and bit her lip: "That depends on our abilities..."
