Chapter 401: Your Highness is Really Smart

Xinbao turned to look at him, and the Fifth Prince laughed again and said, "Look at me, look at me. Excuse me."

He bowed solemnly: "Greetings, Your Highness."

The people behind exchanged glances and saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness."

Xinbao got down from his elder brother's arms, stood upright and accepted the greeting, and said seriously, "Uncles and fifth aunt, there's no need to be polite."

Then he half bowed solemnly: "My uncles and fifth aunt, greetings."

The eldest brother also bowed, and seeing the embarrassed expression on the Fifth Prince's face, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He was not someone who was good at understanding people's hearts, but the Fifth Prince's thoughts were easy to guess.

They come from the countryside, so even if they learn these daily etiquettes, they are certainly not used to them, or they may not even have the time to learn them.

So he pretended to be friendly first and then bowed to Tuanzi.

No matter whether Tuanzi doesn't understand or is embarrassed to accept, he can teach her a few words in a thoughtful way, or even teach her step by step. In this way, wouldn't he appear to be a warm and reliable elder? Wouldn't the relationship be closer at once? The calculation is quite good, but it's a pity that Tuanzi doesn't think so much, and she won't be embarrassed. In Tuanzi's eyes, the emperor is just "Yeah Yeah", and she is not sensitive to status.

So she accepted the gift naturally, and there was nothing wrong with showing respect to the younger generation.

She behaved so calmly that the attitude that the Fifth Prince had just adopted suddenly seemed very funny. It was just a daily greeting when they met, and she even straightened her clothes and coughed. Why did she have to go on stage to perform?

Yan Shifan complained in his heart while letting people in: "Uncles, Fifth Aunt, please come in."

The Fifth Prince was a little embarrassed, but he didn't think they could tell, so he quickly calmed down. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Tuanzi standing aside and said, "Your Highness, please go first."

Yan Shifan said: "Xinbao wants to go see Huang Yeye."

The fifth prince: “…”

He could only say considerately: "Then Your Highness, please go quickly!" and walked in.

These eunuchs and maids in the palace are really considerate to each other as long as you are prominent enough. Anyway, when they just started to greet each other, someone had already trotted in to pass on the message.

Given their status, they didn't need to go out to greet them. They just had to wait in front of the main hall. Madam Lin smiled reservedly while complaining, "Didn't they say that they usually come after the 9th hour? Why are they here so early?"

Tang Qingshan didn't say anything.

My second brother and several others came over one after another, and then we saw a few people coming around the screen wall.

The two sides greeted each other politely, then went in and sat down to chat.

Yan Shirong noticed that these people were paying attention to him, and he looked back at them openly.

Now the Second Prince is outside the palace, and they no longer take him out to play. The Fifth Prince just got married and has no children yet, and all his younger brothers are not married yet, so there are actually only four princes, the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth, and the Fifth Prince's wife.

And they are the only grandchildren left.

These princes all look good, and the Sixth Prince is especially handsome, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a cheerful smile. He looks very likable. His biological mother must also be a beauty, otherwise she would not have been named Lipin.

In comparison, the fifth prince's smile seemed a little deliberate.

The Ninth Prince was still young and didn't speak, so it was hard to tell. The Eighth Prince was also not that old, but he looked restrained, as if he was even more nervous than them.

The fifth prince's wife's surname is Han, and she looks like a lady from a noble family with a strict upbringing.

I don't know how she is at home, but when she comes out to visit others, she is dressed up carefully from head to toe. She looks extremely dignified and reserved, whether she is sitting or standing, tilting her head or lowering her head. Even the movements of holding the teacup, which fingers she lifts and to what degree, are all graceful and exquisite. You can tell that she has practiced hard, and she won't make any mistakes whether she holds it once or ten times.

When she smiles, both corners of her mouth bend upwards. If the smile is deeper, she will cover her face with a handkerchief and then make a little laugh... In short, she is very dignified.

It’s not that it’s good or not, it’s just that this style…is obviously not in line with Madam Lin’s taste.

At this time, Xinbao had already walked to the Qianqing Palace with a groan.

Fang Wuyou came over with a smile and saluted: "Your Highness, the emperor said that when you come, you can go to the West Warm Pavilion to play for a while and have lunch with the emperor at noon."

Xinbao nodded: "Thank you, Manager Fang."

Fang Wuyou said he didn't dare, bent down and led her in. Xinbao took off his cloak and walked around the room by himself.

Huang Yeye might have treated her as a child, as there were some small toys like the Nine-Ring Links in the room.

The mature Xinbao didn't like to play this game, so he turned around and called out, "Baiji, can you ask for some writing brush and ink?"

Baiji agreed repeatedly and turned to go out. After a while, someone brought in the fourth study room. There were tables and chairs here, but the tables and chairs used by Emperor Mingpei could not be given to others without his consent. Besides, Tuanzi could not reach them, so a small table was brought over.

Chunhua came over to grind the ink and asked curiously, "Your Highness, have you studied yet?"

"No," Xinbao said, "Xinbao only knows a little."

Because her wife can't come today, she plans to write a letter to her.

She didn't even cut the tip of the brush, but found a thin brush and tremblingly performed her earthworm calligraphy, writing: "Wife..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

She wrote with great effort.

Although she had practiced calligraphy, she only practiced for a few days before giving it up again, so her strokes became bigger and bigger. After finishing a piece, she asked Chunhua to put it aside, and left the words she couldn't write blank.

After finishing a long letter, Tuanzi was almost exhausted. He counted and found that there were still seven or eight words he didn't know how to write.

She walked to the door and looked, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of officials there.

Xinbao put on his cloak, took a pen and paper and went over. Both sides bowed to each other. Xinbao looked up and picked the one who looked the best. He said, "Sir, are you a civil servant?"

The man had clear eyes and eyebrows, and was indeed a rare handsome man. When he smiled, his teeth were snow-white, just like spring flowers blooming.

He squatted down and said with a smile: "Your Highness, my name is Cheng Gong, and I am indeed a civil servant."

Xinbao was about to hand him the paper when he suddenly froze.

She asked, "Are you Uncle Yuan's second apprentice?"

Cheng Fuju smiled and said, "Yes, your Highness is really smart."

Xinbao smiled and said, "Because you are pretty!"

Cheng Fuju smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Is your Highness going to write something?"

Xinbao gave him the paper and said, "Xinbao, I don't know how to write a few words. Can you please help me write them?"

Cheng Fuju responded and put the paper on the table. He took the pen and said, "The word righteous is righteous, the word doctor is doctor, the word mouth is inside, Liang Ruo... no, no," she shook her hand, "the word empty is empty, the word loss is loss..."

As she spoke, Cheng Fuju wrote. Xinbao was secretly depressed when he saw that Liang Ruoxu's "Xu" was actually the simple "Xu". He said, "That's all! Thank you, Brother Cheng, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

Cheng Fuju smiled and said, "I don't dare. I don't deserve it."

He returned the paper to Tuanzi respectfully: "Your Highness is really smart. You've already started studying at such a young age?"

A meal of dumplings.

She thought about it seriously for a long time before she said very seriously: "No!"

Even the people around couldn't help but be curious, and someone asked her: "Little Princess, why did you take so long to think about this question?"
