Li Yu touched Dabao's head, and did not spank Erbao and Sanbao's butts.
Li Yu put the three little tender paws together and taught them: "You are brothers, you should help each other and not quarrel among yourselves. If a brother has something good, you should be happy for him and not snatch it away. Because--"
Li Yu was stunned. He realized what he was saying and glanced at King Jing uneasily.
Can you teach children like this? After all, they are all children of the royal family...
but they are also his children. If he doesn't teach them, who will?
King Jing nodded gently to Li Yu, indicating Li Yu to continue.
Li Yu was encouraged and finished his unfinished words with a smile: "... Because, what is yours will be yours in the end, and what is not yours cannot be held even if you snatch it."
Dabao looked at the cloth tiger thoughtfully. Erbao and Sanbao were not in a hurry to pass the blame to each other. They looked at each other mischievously and took the initiative to put their butts in front of Yu's father, willing to be beaten by Yu's father.
Li Yu asked them to help each other put on the clothes in the same way they took them off.
Dabao figured it out, and took his favorite brush given by his grandfather and put it next to the sleeping Sibao. He imitated Yu's father and touched Sibao's head.
Erbao and Sanbao sat together and tried to put the broken cloth tiger back together.
However, the cloth tiger was almost completely torn apart, and it was impossible to put it back together.
Erbao and Sanbao also found out and lowered their heads in frustration. Wang Xi, following King Jing's eye signal, brought over a few toys. He usually carried some of the toys of the little masters with him, including Erbao's favorite cloth duck and Sanbao's favorite wave drum.
Erbao and Sanbao followed Dabao's example and put the cloth duck and wave drum in front of Sibao.
Sibao's eyes lit up when he woke up. His brothers sat around him and put a lot of things for him. Seeing that he woke up, they came over to kiss him.
Sibao, who loved kissing, immediately forgot about the cloth tiger and played with toys and kissing with his brothers.
Li Yu successfully resolved a small grudge between the children, and almost forgot about it afterwards.
King Jing had been listening to him teaching the fish cubs. Many of the little fish's ideas and opinions were very straightforward. King Jing had never heard of them before. The master and the great scholar would not teach like this. He knew that the royal family's brotherly friendship and respect were just a show, but the fish cubs were back to normal, and he thought it was the way it should be.
At this time, a bright yellow dress flashed outside the palace. Wang Xi, who was not far from the palace door, noticed it and quickly winked at King Jing.
Wang Xi was afraid that the princess would accidentally say something taboo, so he wanted to step forward to stop her.
King Jing shook his head and didn't let Wang Xi go. He liked to listen to the little fish talk about reason and didn't think there was anything wrong.
The emperor outside the palace naturally heard what Li Yu said. Since ancient times, emperors have always loved to eavesdrop. The emperor originally wanted to see what Prince Jing and his wife would say in front of the coffin of Empress Xiaohui, so he secretly followed them. He accidentally saw the princess teaching her children. The emperor did not agree with what Li Yu said and laughed and scolded: "Nonsense", but in fact he still watched the children playing happily for a long time.
Luo, the chief steward, accompanied him and could not help but complain in his heart. Although it was nonsense, Your Majesty was more excited than ever.
Prince Jing waited until the emperor left before he went over. Li Yu, who didn't know that he had earned face in front of the emperor:?
Prince Jing also smiled and rubbed his head.
Li Yu: "..."
Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao were talking in baby talk. It turns out that Yu Dad also likes to have his head rubbed!
In front of the fish cubs, Yu Dad actually blushed.
"Oh, right, Your Highness!" Li Yu turned the cloth tiger over to the side with the words embroidered on it, and handed it to King Jing and Wang Xi.
Wang Xi looked at it several times, touched it, and said with certainty: "This is the rule of Changchun Palace. Anything made by the palace ladies must be marked in a hidden place. But the cattail and willow on it... Excuse me for being frank, I have never heard of it, but don't worry, Princess, this mark is most likely a person's name. I will check the previous personnel list of Changchun Palace and I should be able to find out."
Li Yu hurriedly thanked him, not knowing whether there would be any progress this time, and whether this progress was related to the secret he was thinking about.
Wang Xi ordered a servant to get the book. Soon the servant came back and reported that after Empress Xiaohui passed away, something had been lost in Changchun Palace. One of the books was a name book. Wang Xi took the rest and searched, but he did not find Pu Liu.
Wang Xi knew that this was a habit of shirking responsibility in the palace. When something was not found, they would say it was lost. Wang Xi was about to scold him, but Li Yu hurriedly said, "I'm just curious about who made this cloth tiger. I don't mean anything else."
On the surface, it was just that they could not find it, but this one was lost among a bunch of names. Intuitively, it was a bit strange.
The person in charge of guarding said that the name book had been lost for many years. The people recorded in the name book must have been many years ago, not the current palace ladies.
Li Yu hit a wall again and decided to ask Luo Zongguan, including whether King Jing had other wet nurses before, and who this Pu Liu was.
He was still thinking about the palace he saw in his memory. King Jing looked at the children playing, and Li Yu said, "Tianchi, can I look around?"
King Jing agreed, but did not let Wang Xi follow Li Yu, or let Wang Xi stay to look after the children. Instead, he picked up two children himself and asked Wang Xi to hold two children as well, and then all followed Li Yu. Li Yu was responsible for strolling, and he was responsible for taking care of the children and protecting Li Yu.
Li Yu grinned, found a palace maid to clear the way, and walked around the palaces one by one.
He finished quickly, but he could not find a palace that was exactly the same as in his memory.
Li Yu also thought that the rooms in the palace should be similar. The furnishings may change, but the ceilings and beams will basically not move. Li Yu originally hoped to find the palace in his memory based on these details, but he couldn't find it. After looking around, he found that he had finished his tour.
Li Yu counted the rooms he had visited and felt that something was wrong.
Generally speaking, the total number of rooms will be built in even numbers, in pairs, such as the Jingwang Mansion. The palace of Empress Xiaohui would not be so sloppy, but he clearly remembered that he visited an odd number of rooms.
Li Yu mentioned it inadvertently, and the palace maid who led the way knelt down in panic and said: "Originally, there was an extra room, and it was sealed by His Majesty..."
Li Yu was shocked. He was just guessing based on the Jingwang Mansion, but was it really there?
The palace maid pulled aside a corner of the heavy curtain, revealing a yellowed seal.
It turned out that the curtain was covering a palace room he had never visited.
"This was sealed by your majesty when Empress Xiaohui was seriously ill. We are not allowed to open it."
The date written on the seal confirmed what the palace maid said. Since it was sealed by the emperor's order, Li Yu could not open it rashly. However, the rooms in Changchun Palace were all symmetrical. Li Yu repeatedly compared it with another symmetrical place and concluded that the room he was looking for should be the sealed one.
If the words "Pu Liu" embroidered on the cloth tiger may not be related to the secret, then this palace must be related to the secret.
The emperor seems to know the secret, otherwise why did he seal the palace?
Moreover, when Empress Xiaohui was seriously ill, he also lost face for her. Wasn't he afraid of irritating her?
Li Yu thought that the emperor would not ignore Empress Xiaohui, that is, the existence of this palace even exceeded Empress Xiaohui's face.
What kind of secret is this? Why is it that every time he thinks he is very close, he is surrounded by more and more doubts?
Li Yu asked the palace people: "Do you know what is going on inside?"
In his memory, he saw the wet nurse swallowing a packet of medicine powder. He didn't know what happened next. Would the wet nurse later die of poison in this palace, so it was sealed by the emperor?
After all, it was a bit nauseating, even if he just thought about it.
The palace maid shook her head and said, "I was transferred to Changchun Palace later. This room was like this when I came. I don't know what kind of servants are inside."
Li Yu also expected this to be the case, so he didn't ask any more questions.
King Jing found that he couldn't stop staring at the sealed palace, and realized that it was unusual.
What's wrong? King Jing cast a questioning look at him.
Li Yu shook his head slowly. It was not easy to describe this matter to King Jing, mainly because King Jing was too young at that time and had no impression.
"Your Highness, Princess, the Emperor has a reward." The voice of Luo Chief Steward came from outside.
The emperor came over to eavesdrop, and after returning to Qianqing Palace, he ordered Luo Chief Steward to come and deliver something.
Li Yu was embarrassed. It had only been a short time since they left the Qianqing Palace, but the emperor seemed to be missing them for so long.
However, the emperor had a reward, and they couldn't hold back.
King Jing and Li Yu held the children and listened.
The emperor rewarded Dabao with the smallest wolf-hair brush that his chubby hands could hold, and the other three treasures were exquisite toys of the twelve zodiac animals.
Li Yu thought, the emperor had already rewarded a lot, why did he suddenly want to reward a few children?
In any case, the emperor's love for Dabao was quite obvious. Maybe it was Dabao who made the emperor miss him so much.
In addition to rewarding a few children, the emperor also rewarded the children's father, Li Yu, with a famous painting of Meng Mu teaching her children.
Li Yu: "..."
I always felt that the emperor had misunderstood something. Could this be a hint that he should learn from Meng Mu and move the children?
"Your Highness, Princess, there is also this." Steward Luo personally brought over two boxes of fish food.
"The Emperor knows that Your Highness loves to raise fish, so he ordered this old servant to bring some fish food to Your Highness. This is fish food with Beijing-style shredded pork, which is a flavor that the kitchen has recently figured out."
Steward Luo said as he handed the box of fish food to Wang Xi, who immediately took it.
Because it was considered food, he had to open it and take a look as usual. Wang Xi opened the box, and the smell of fish food spread. Steward Luo's eyes blurred, and he saw the princess and several young masters, all staring at the fish food without blinking.
Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao: I haven't eaten fish food for a long time, it smells so good and I want to eat it! !
Li Yu: "..."
Although Li Yu wanted to eat fish food very much, he knew that he must not show it in front of everyone and could control himself. However, the children could not do that. Fish food and peach blossom cakes were two delicacies that they had been obsessed with since they were young fish. However, after becoming adults, there were only peach blossom cakes. When the children saw the fish food, their eyes widened.
How could there be children who like to eat fish food? It's too outrageous!
Seeing that the children were about to scream, Li Yu glared at them fiercely. Dabao to Sibao were all frightened by the terrifying eyes of the fish father and dared not move or scream.
Li Yu seized the opportunity, snapped the fish food box shut, and stuffed it into his sleeve neatly.
King Jing was paying attention to the little fish almost every moment. After Li Yu collected the box, King Jing cooperated with him seamlessly and quickly took out a few peach cakes to stuff the mouths of the treasures. The treasures immediately forgot about the fish food.
Steward Luo rubbed his eyes: It seems that I was really dazzled. I actually thought that the young masters of King Jing's family liked fish food...
"Standard Luo, can I ask you something?"
Li Yu asked quietly while Steward Luo sat down to drink a cup of tea.
"Please feel free to do as you please, Princess." Steward Luo had a very good impression of this princess and was happy to answer the princess' questions.
Li Yu then asked: "Does Eunuch Luo know a person named Pu Liu - she should be a woman, and she may have worked in Changchun Palace."
"Why do you ask this, Princess?"
Eunuch Luo's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, which was seen by Li Yu.
Li Yuduo was careful and took the torn cloth tiger over to let Luo see the words embroidered on the lining. He made up an excuse and said, "This cloth tiger was accidentally damaged by the children, so I saw this mark. It is said to be a person's name, and I was a little curious for a while."
"So that's how it is..." Manager Luo said with a smile, "Princess, you guessed correctly. This is the mark used by a nanny named Pu Liu who used to be by Empress Xiaohui's side. She had been the wet nurse of the eldest prince and the fourth prince. Empress Xiaohui trusted her very much and originally wanted her to continue to be the wet nurse of Prince Jing. But not long after, she made a big mistake and could no longer take care of the prince. Empress Xiaohui had to expel her from the palace. The emperor also sealed off the place where she used to live."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu felt like he had touched a ray of light, which connected several confusions together.
Pu Liu is indeed a person's name. According to the nanny, her age also matches. She took care of King Jing for a very short time, and her residence was sealed by the emperor...
