Chapter 20 Entering the Palace (Part 1)
"Well, he didn't bother you, did he? You are weak, don't waste too much energy, you can ask Mr. Su Cheng for help,"
Xie Jingyu came in and held the child in his arms. He and Wei Qingcheng each held one side of his face and pinched his little face.
Su Cheng was still smiling foolishly, as if he felt particularly comfortable being rubbed.
"We should hire a teacher for him. I can only teach him how to read and understand texts. I am not good at other things. However, this child is smart, so I don't need to waste my energy."
Xie Jingyu let the child go and let him read by himself.
"These few days, the emperor has been selecting a study partner for Jingsi and asked Su Cheng to try. This child is precocious and will be able to listen and learn more if he goes there."
Wei Qingcheng was a little worried: "Will Su Cheng be bullied? After all, the relationships in the palace are complicated, and he is still too young..."
Before Xie Jingyu could answer, Su Cheng spoke first, looking at the two of them with his big round eyes: "If we go to study together, we might be able to meet some important people!"
Xie Jingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that you can meet him, but that you may become a big shot in the future."
He touched the child's head and continued, "Don't rely on others, rely on yourself. Those big shots are also human beings. There are bad people and good people. If you encounter a bad person in power, what will you do?"
Su Cheng scratched his nose and answered quickly: "I know! You have to be the one who can save others instead of waiting for others to save you!"
Wei Qingcheng gave him a candy as a reward, and he happily said, "Thank you, brother."
Then he said to Xie Jingyu: "Thank you, uncle, I understand!"
After saying this, he ignored Xie Jingyu's expression and skipped away.
Wei Qingcheng saw Xie Jingyu being humiliated for the first time, and he bent over with laughter. Xie Jingyu complained about him aggrievedly and refused to give him candy.
"Qingcheng, why do you only reward those who understand reason? Are there no people who are reasonable?"
Seeing him like this, Wei Qingcheng took out another bag of candy and gave it to him: "Okay, people who are reasonable are also very powerful. This bag is a reward for Your Majesty, but you can't eat it every day."
…
Then the two of them went to see Su Cheng's mother together.
The woman was no longer disheveled, and her hair was tied up in a clean plain bun. Although she looked a little sick, she was in much better spirits.
Seeing them coming, he tried to salute again, but was dissuaded by Wei Qingcheng.
"Master, please don't come over here again. I'm not well yet and I'll pass on my illness to you."
It was only when she came to the mansion that she learned that Wei Qingcheng was weak. She felt a little guilty that her own child had brought him here that day.
She was also grateful that she had no worries about food, clothing and shelter during this period, and that someone had called a doctor to treat her illness. How could there be such a kind-hearted person in this world? He must be a Bodhisattva who has descended to the earth. She prayed every day that the young master would get better soon.
She didn't know how to repay the young master for saving her life. She also thought that when she recovered, she would help with the house work. For some reason, she called Wei Qingcheng and Xie Jingyu the boss.
However, the two masters did not try to avoid her and came straight to her bedside.
"You are injured, not sick. It's okay. You won't pass on your disease to others."
Wei Qingcheng was happy to see that she was full of energy now.
"It's just that we are men, and visiting without permission, wouldn't that be offensive?"
"How could that be? Master, I am so happy that you can come to see me. I hope Xiao Cheng didn't cause you any trouble. This child is naughty. He came to find you as soon as I didn't keep an eye on him."
Wei Qingcheng shook her head: "No, he is very smart and sensible. We want to send him to school, so we came to ask your opinion."
Sending her to study with me might scare the woman, so I had to keep it a secret.
The woman was so moved that tears immediately burst out of her eyes: "Master, I really don't know how to thank you.
The Nu family originally made a living from the land in Shouyang County, Jinzhou. Xiao Cheng's father had read some books when he was young, but later, his family encountered misfortunes and he gave up studying to become a farmer. When he was still alive, he often taught Xiao Cheng to read.
Xiao Cheng likes reading very much. Thank you for giving him this opportunity. My leg will be healed soon. My name is Qu Shanrou. I can help with any work in the mansion. But these cannot repay the great kindness of my master. From now on, my humble life belongs to the palace, and I will serve the prince and princess. ”
Xie Jingyu asked, "He may have to live in the place where he is studying, and can only come back to see you during his vacation."
Qu Shanrou quickly replied: "As long as he can have a promising future, it doesn't matter whether he is with me or not. Just let him go. Boys need to have more adventures."
"Your words put the prince and princess at ease. You can take a rest first. If you are not feeling well, there is no need to be polite."
After saying this, he took Wei Qingcheng away.
On the second day, not long after Xie Jingyu went to court, someone came to summon him, saying that the queen urgently wanted the princess to come to the palace. Wei Qingcheng did not dare to delay, and immediately packed up and ordered Song Rui to harness the carriage and enter the palace.
After arriving at the place, they got off the carriage and a eunuch led the way. Wei Qingcheng was also feeling uneasy. He had never been to the palace in his past life and had never dealt with these precious people.
He recalled the etiquette he had learned in his childhood, fearing that he might be impolite, and did not dare to look around. He lowered his head and followed the eunuch, passing through the red walls. Behind him followed Awu and Yisi, who did not dare to speak and could only walk quickly.
After walking for a long time, Wei Qingcheng felt some sweat on his back. Then he saw a round archway and an experienced palace maid came to pick him up.
She was wearing dark purple clothes, and her hair accessories looked more exquisite than those of some young ladies from official families.
She seemed very enthusiastic: "Princess, just call me Madam Liu. I am the head maid beside our Queen. If you have anything in the future, just come to me and tell me. Now, the Queen is waiting inside, please follow me."
After that, without giving Wei Qingcheng a chance to speak, he looked at A Wu and Yi Si and said, "These two... men cannot enter here casually, so wait here!"
As soon as she entered the archway, she saw the garden full of flowers and the fragrance of flowers. Wei Qingcheng wondered for a moment if it was late autumn.
Nanny Liu took him into the inner hall and said she was going to pass on the message, leaving Wei Qingcheng standing alone in the hall. After about two quarters of an hour, Nanny Liu brought two palace maids in.
"The princess is not allowed to meet the queen if her clothes are not proper. Take her to the side hall to change. The princess is offended."
Although they said they were offended, their hands were merciless. The two palace maids went to the inner hall and actually tried to take off his clothes. No matter how slow they were, Wei Qingcheng understood that they were trying to embarrass him and intimidate him.
If he allowed them to do this now, he would probably be accused of causing chaos in the palace.
He dodged backwards and scolded, "How dare you! You can't touch my princess."
It was just that this was the first time he suppressed others with this identity, and he had no choice but to do so.
