As soon as An Jingzhi came back from the pavilion, someone from Gu Sangyu had already reported to her.
At this time, he was sitting and waiting for An Jingzhi to return.
A small figure returned from outside the door, and Gu Sangyu said gently, "Come here."
An Jingzhi ran over with a smile, "Mother."
Gu Sangyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "You little naughty boy, you've just recovered from your illness and you're already sweating all over. Be careful not to catch a cold again. Go change your clothes."
"I'll go right away." An Jingzhi obediently asked the palace maid to help him change his clothes and came out immediately.
Looking at Gu Sangyu's serious expression, An Jingzhi was a little confused.
"What's wrong, mother?"
"You before..." Gu Sangyu had just opened his mouth when he suddenly stopped.
What did she ask her son? Why did he not tell her after meeting the emperor? But Jingzhi had never met the emperor.
If she hadn't been curious about why the emperor sent so many things today, she would not have asked.
I'm afraid they still don't know why the emperor suddenly became interested in their Fengluan Palace.
An Jingzhi looked at Gu Sangyu with puzzled eyes.
Gu Sangyu sighed and thought, forget it, since her son didn’t recognize her, she would just pretend that she didn’t know.
She wanted to see what tricks the emperor was going to play.
"Did you eat other people's food today?"
An Jingzhi knew that this was not what the other party wanted to say at first, but since Gu Sangyu changed the subject, he did not delve into it.
"Mother, you know everything?" An Jingzhi looked embarrassed.
Gu Sangyu gently tapped her son's forehead with her finger, her face serious, "What did mother tell you? Don't eat other people's food casually. Have you forgotten?"
"Empress Xian is not a bad person."
Gu Sangyu was a little jealous, "Are you saying that my mother is a bad person?"
An Jingzhi quickly waved his hand and shook his head, "Of course my mother is not a bad person. She is the best person and the best person to Jingzhi."
"It's good that you, a heartless little thing, know this. Forget it this time. But in the future, don't eat other people's food when your mother is not around."
Gu Sangyu didn't know much about Concubine Xian. She was brought into the palace after the emperor ascended the throne. Because her family was a family of civil officials in the court and her father served as the Minister of Rites in the court, she also had a place in the palace. She and Gu Sangyu often had conflicts with each other.
An Jingzhi knew how nervous Gu Sangyu was about him, so he stopped trying to defend himself and took the initiative to hug her. "Mother, I will listen to you. I will never eat other people's food again."
Gu Sangyu hugged her son and said, "Don't think you can avoid going to the Imperial College just because you said that."
An Jingzhi looked aggrieved. He didn't think that way at all!
Gu Sangyu's personal maid Xiaowan looked at this heartwarming scene and smiled slightly.
…
Happy days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when An Jingzhi went to school.
I was woken up early in the morning before dawn.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too young, but An Jingzhi always feels like he doesn’t get enough sleep. He usually sleeps until almost ten o’clock. Anyway, no one cares about him since he doesn’t have to go to school.
Although I will be woken up at around seven in the morning and will be allowed to go back to sleep after having breakfast, it is still better than not getting any sleep now!
On the first day her son went to study at the Imperial College, Gu Sangyu got up early and asked the palace servants to prepare breakfast. Now, seeing her son so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, she felt a little distressed.
But when she thought about the other princes in the palace who would go to the Imperial College to study when they reached a certain age, if her son didn't go to study, would he grow up to be a blind prince?
Thinking of this, she hardened her heart and gently advised: "Jingzhi, hurry up and have breakfast and go study."
An Jingzhi had been in a daze ever since he was unable to be woken up from his bed and was forced to change his clothes and wash up, and had been sitting at the table.
I drank a mouthful of porridge reluctantly. I was so sleepy and had no appetite.
"Mother, please prepare some snacks for me. I will eat when I am hungry. I don't want to eat now."
Gu Sangyu tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail, so she could only ask Xiaowan to help prepare some snacks for An Jingzhi to take to school.
No one in the palace except concubines and the emperor could ride in a sedan chair at will.
On the way to the Imperial College, An Jingzhi kept lying on Xiao Xizi's back to catch up on his sleep.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Xiao Xizi stood in front of the Imperial College. If they went any further inside, His Highness would have to get down and walk. If he continued to carry him in, the teacher inside might see him and have a bad impression of him.
If this gets to His Majesty, it will probably affect His Highness's reputation.
Maybe it will even implicate the Empress.
An Jingzhi was pushed for a while before he woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are we there yet?"
"Your Highness, we've arrived. You'll have to find your way inside on your own."
"I don't want to leave. Carry me in."
Xiao Xizi was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not a good idea."
An Jingzhi certainly knew what Xiao Xizi was worried about, but he didn't care. What was wrong with a three-year-old child being carried to school? It was only six o'clock, after all!
I was pulled out of bed at five o'clock!
He is only three years old!
Xiao Xizi was unable to persuade An Jingzhi, and seeing that he insisted again and again, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry An Jingzhi back to his seat in the Imperial College.
At this time, most of the students had arrived, and everyone's eyes widened when they saw the person carried in by the young eunuch.
Who is this?
He actually acted so arrogantly in the Imperial College.
The children who come to study are all of similar age, but the youngest looks to be five years old.
Now, An Jingzhi is the youngest among them.
No one had ever been so bold as to let the little eunuch carry him all the way to his seat.
Thinking that the teacher was coming soon, some people looked like they were looking forward to a good show.
Waiting for the other party to be in trouble.
But unfortunately, Xiao Xizi also knew the seriousness of the matter. After putting An Jingzhi down, he immediately retreated.
Although these people felt a little regretful that the Master did not see An Jingzhi's lazy appearance with his own eyes, it didn't matter. There were so many eyes and ears in the Imperial College who were all under His Majesty's control, and the matter would definitely reach His Majesty's ears.
After An Jingzhi was put down, he took a look at the surroundings, and then without thinking, he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
His position was at the back, and his body was small, so he covered the front of his body with a book, and the teacher didn't even notice him when he came in.
The teacher already knew that An Jingzhi was enrolled today.
The Imperial College was divided into inner and outer ones. One was built outside the palace for outstanding scholars, or civil officials and nobles to study.
Another one is the Inner Imperial Academy, which is where the children of royal relatives and some top officials are enrolled.
"Has the fifth prince arrived?" The teacher asked several times but no one answered.
Finally, he asked, "Can new students enroll today?"
Sitting in the front row, a gentle-looking boy, about seven or eight years old, stood up and said, "Teacher, today we are enrolled and will sit in the last row." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of An Jingzhi.
It was the Second Prince who spoke.
