Jiang Qingqing returned to Huaning Palace in great shock. Even after washing, changing her clothes and sitting on the bed thinking about what she had done today, she was still somewhat shocked by the fact that Concubine Zhao had no biological son.
After all, as a noble concubine, she is second only to the emperor in the harem. It is normal for people to have ambitions in such a glorious position.
But after today's contact, Concubine Zhao gave people the impression of being a smooth and kind elder.
She was dressed gorgeously, and all her attention was focused on cooking and taking care of the children. She didn't seem to have the slightest desire for the position of queen or crown prince.
She would need to find opportunities to get in touch with more people like Concubine Zhao in the future to test her true strength.
She always has to understand the purpose and ambition of everyone around her, otherwise it would be too passive for her to be in the light while the enemy is in the dark.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing silently promoted Han Qiming to the first position.
The first thing to do is to suppress this biggest hidden danger.
The next morning, Jiang Qingqing was still sleeping soundly, and there was still a little palace maid squatting beside the bed, calling her to get up.
"Your Highness——" It was a cat-like voice, like a thief calling someone to wake up, as if he was afraid of offending someone.
Jiang Qingqing turned over in her sleep and ignored him.
"Your Highness - Prince Xiao is here." The palace maid suddenly thought of a person's name.
Jiang Qingqing was still in a dream, and in a trance, she heard Zhou Gong lip-syncing to her.
"Xiao Linting is here."
"Swish" the quilt was pulled aside, and the little body seemed to sit up, turned his head, his eyes were still sleepy, but his brain reacted almost subconsciously.
"Hurry up and get dressed, or I'll get scolded again!"
Even if they don't curse, the contempt in their eyes is the most terrifying trauma to their soul!
Xiao Linting arrived at the same time as yesterday. As soon as he stepped into the house under the guidance of Xin Juan, he heard the panicked voice of the little baby. His drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he raised his eyelids, as if he could see the little baby directly through the half-blurred screen.
Xin Juan also shuddered when she heard this. She turned back to look at Prince Xiao uneasily and explained quickly, "Don't take it to heart, Prince. What our prince meant was that if you get up late, you will be scolded by the teacher of the Imperial College."
Xiao Linting was too lazy to expose this poor excuse.
His footsteps only stopped behind the screen, with one hand behind his back and his back straight. He faced the entrance of the hall and then slowly said, "Your Highness got up quite early today, so you can have breakfast first and then go to the Imperial College."
Tao Didi got up late yesterday, and it was the first time that Xiao Linting took over the task of taking the little princess to school. He didn't dare to offend the boss, and he had no experience in taking care of children.
So during class yesterday, Tao Didi's stomach growled several times, but she thought she had covered it well and didn't hear anything.
Unexpectedly, I still couldn't escape from the emperor's uncle who was good at fighting.
Jiang Qingqing, neatly dressed, walked out slowly from behind the screen. She looked up at Xiao Linting and immediately smiled brightly.
"Good morning, uncle!"
Xiao Linting stood there motionless, just stretched out his hand, just like yesterday. Jiang Qingqing walked over consciously, stretched out her little hand, held Xiao Linting's fingers, and followed the emperor's uncle out of the palace.
Warm porridge and side dishes had been placed in the main hall. After Jiang Qingqing sat down, she first drank several mouthfuls of porridge to warm her stomach, and then began to drink the porridge in the bowl bit by bit with the side dishes.
Perhaps it was because she was too well-behaved, even easier to take care of than the prince. When Jiang Qingqing carefully wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, she looked up and saw the emperor's uncle looking at her with a rare slight smile on his face.
"Uncle, what are we going to learn today?" Jiang Qingqing immediately responded with a bright and lovely smile.
Xiao Linting looked at the grain of white rice that she had forgotten at the corner of her mouth. He stretched out his hand across half of the round table and personally brushed the rice grain away from Jiang Qingqing's cheek.
"Today's class will not be held in the classroom, but in the training ground. Today we will practice your archery skills. Your Highness, please learn to ride a pony today."
Xiao Linting saw that it was almost time, so he simply picked up the baby and walked out of Huaning Palace.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Qingqing realized that this was not the usual way to the Imperial College. The training ground that Xiao Linting mentioned was a small training ground with a large lawn on the far right of the Tianqi Palace.
However, the princes are still young, and few of them are good at fighting, so Emperor Tianqi Qing and Xiao Linting discussed and decided to add a training course in the Imperial College.
There were several archery targets set up on the huge lawn, and there were two horses, one big and one small, whose reins were held by palace servants, allowing the two horses to nibble on the tender grass on the lawn.
A few days ago, the two princes were poisoned. The first prince was less poisoned and was basically fine after a night's rest. But the second prince was the most seriously poisoned. Even when Concubine Zhao asked him to follow the first prince back to the prince's mansion yesterday, his face was sick, not to mention today.
Xiao Linting put the little baby down, turned around and asked the Second Prince detailed questions such as where he felt unwell.
It took only a few words of conversation for Xiao Linting to remember the little princess, but there was already no one beside him.
He quickly looked around the training ground and soon saw a pink little figure following a yellow figure. Wherever he walked, the little kid would stand there.
Xiao Linting narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at what the brother and sister were whispering about. He didn't even hear what the second prince said next.
"Your Highness, please rest for a while. I will have someone from the Imperial Medical Bureau come over to check your pulse and see how things are going."
After Xiao Linting hurriedly said goodbye to the Second Prince, he strode towards Jiang Chen and the others.
After Jiang Qingqing arrived at the training ground, she immediately followed the position of her good brother.
"Royal brother, the curvature of this bow is almost as good as yours. Can you really pull it apart?" Jiang Qingqing looked up at Jiang Chen, expressing the huge doubts in her heart.
After Jiang Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion yesterday, he pondered a lot and began to feel dependent on his biological sister. When he saw his sister today, he wanted to show her that he, as a brother, can also be of great use.
Before he could pick up the bow and arrow to pose in a cool way, his own sister completely exposed his true identity.
Jiang Chen's face was embarrassed for a moment.
"Well, I just wanted to see the leather material of this bow and arrow. Who said I was going to draw the bow and shoot an arrow?"
The little boy's hesitant voice silently exposed his lie. Jiang Qingqing smiled silently as she watched Jiang Chen cover up for her.
When Xiao Linting approached, he heard Jiang Qingqing's innocent voice.
"Brother, you are so tall and you can't read much, but you should know how to ride a horse, right? Why don't you teach me?"
