You want to take her to listen to a play or music, but she immediately says that she has no idea what's so good about it and waves her hands to tell you that she is not interested.
You thought storytelling should be a novelty for a girl from a wealthy family like her, so you suggested that she go listen to some storytelling. As a result, she started telling you a story, and what she told you was much more interesting than the old stories told by the storyteller.
You take advantage of her being out at a party at someone else's house and try to get her to fight crickets. Good grief, she'll just say, "What's the point of fighting bugs? If you want to play, just come down and fight me for real."
Looking at her eagerness, which nobleman would dare to nod his head and give her the opportunity to draw her sword? Does she want to die? Is life no longer beautiful?
Some of those who were unwilling to give up tried to take her to watch cockfighting, but she was not interested in cockfighting, but was very interested in eating chicken.
Before the two chickens started fighting each other, her eyes were already shining as she encouraged the man named Chen Hushan to go catch chickens with her.
"Quick, Hushan, help me catch that one over there! They look so energetic, their meat must be chewy and very delicious."
It was unclear whether the two were truly crazy or foolish, or just pretending to be crazy and foolish. Anyway, in the end, the two chickens that the young masters had secretly obtained were sent to the kitchen by them with great fanfare and stewed...
The young masters didn't dare to get angry. After all, their behavior was destined to be scolded by their elders. If the matter got out of hand, they would definitely not be in the right.
By then, not only will they not be able to save the two chickens, they will even find it difficult to save their reputation and knees.
As for the gamble that Xiao Lu hoped the most from the eldest prince and Yu Zizhen, those young masters who had ill intentions and had the opportunity to contact them would never dare to coax them into getting involved without any preparation.
After all, Yu Zizhen had such a bad temper. If she yelled or just made a fuss without caring about anything, they would be in big trouble.
Coincidentally, Wu Mingyu had the same concern, so he didn't dare to interrupt Yu Zizhen rudely when he was busy.
He deliberately circled around Yu Zizhen, hoping that Yu Zizhen would put down his book and talk to him, asking him if there was anything wrong. But Yu Zizhen was like a blind and deaf person every time, and simply ignored him.
Wu Mingyu could only talk to Yu Zizhen when she stopped to rest, but the problem was that there were too many people who wanted to talk to her when she was resting, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
This also led to the fact that Wu Mingyu had been busy for so long, but in the end he still only maintained a dull relationship with Yu Zizhen as ordinary classmates.
Yu Zizhen was polite and considerate to him, but that was all he was polite and considerate.
Wu Mingyu was very anxious. He desperately wanted to get closer to Yu Zizhen, but Yu Zizhen always seemed close to him but was actually distant from him. Not to mention alienating Yu Zizhen and the eldest prince as he had originally planned, he didn't even have the chance to carry out the task assigned by Xiao Lu to "lead the eldest prince and the prince of Zhenbei astray."
Seeing him getting more and more anxious, the eldest prince asked Yu Zizhen privately, "You don't plan to keep him by your side as an ordinary classmate, do you?"
Yu Zizhen put down his pen and said, "Don't worry, he will soon implement Xiao Lu's plan."
For those who are eager to make achievements, after failing to make any progress for a long time, their impatience will inevitably increase with the passage of time. What Yu Zizhen was waiting for was the moment when Wu Mingyu could no longer hold back.
"Next time we have a holiday, I'll take you out to play." Yu Zizhen winked meaningfully at Xiao Yuanjin, "This time we'll go to the temple fair."
During the temple fair, you can not only burn incense and pray, but also enjoy folk performances such as lion dancing, yangge, stilt walking, Suolaibao, and playing with Chinese flags.
These performances are different from the exquisite and gorgeous court music and dance, but they are vivid and full of life, and they look interesting.
In addition, Yu Zizhen also planned to let Xiao Yuanjin taste authentic folk snacks, such as jiangshui noodles, hemp food, paogao, jelly, oil tea, Aiwowowo, candied haws, etc.
These are all things that Xiao Yuanjin has never been exposed to before, and Yu Zizhen thinks he will definitely be very interested.
By the way, they can also deal with Wu Mingyu who is becoming more and more impatient.
Xiao Yuanjin was very smart. Yu Zizhen abruptly changed the subject, and the look he gave him was full of meaning. This made him realize almost immediately that Yu Zizhen must not simply want to take him to a temple fair to let him experience folk customs and taste folk snacks.
He looked at Yu Zizhen with some concern, "Can we really go? Won't it be dangerous?"
Yu Zizhen nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will never let you be in danger."
Xiao Yuanjin asked again: "What about you?"
Yu Zizhen smiled, "I cherish my life very much, you already knew that."
Only then did Xiao Yuanjin finally feel relieved. He said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You must be fully prepared."
Yu Zizhen nodded. Of course, she wasn't stupid.
After the two men discussed the matter, the eldest prince talked to Yu Zizhen about the autumn hunt after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the Great Qi Dynasty, it was customary for the emperor to lead nobles, court officials, and their families on an autumn hunt outside the capital every year or every other year.
The current emperor is not a martial artist, and all the powerful officials are civil servants without exception. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, the autumn hunting has been held every two years.
According to convention, autumn hunting is usually scheduled from early September to late October. For this year's autumn hunting dates, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected three for the emperor to choose from, and the emperor finally chose September 22nd to September 29th.
Xiao Yuanjin first briefly told Yu Zizhen about the process, rules and significance of the autumn hunt, and then asked Yu Zizhen if he wanted to go.
Yu Zizhen nodded, "Go ahead."
Although it delayed her studies and tasks a little, autumn hunting was a new thing for her and she was a little curious.
When Xiao Yuanjin heard Yu Zizhen say that he was going, a rare look of joy and excitement appeared on his face.
The emperor was worried about leaving Xiao Yuanjin alone in the palace when he went out, leaving him to face the Empress Dowager Da Lu and the Empress Xiao Lu alone, so he would take Xiao Yuanjin with him every time he went hunting in autumn.
Xiao Yuanjin was unable to walk, so traveling was not very convenient. Watching others riding horses and shooting arrows could easily make him depressed. However, in order to survive, he had to endure the pain and bitterness in his heart every time and sit beside the emperor seemingly calmly.
But this time was different. Firstly, he had cured his leg disease, so he would not feel depressed even if he saw others jumping around. Secondly, he had several like-minded friends going with him this time, so he didn't have to look pitiful and read a book by himself every day.
