Chapter 47
In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the second year. The ice and snow melted, the earth came back to life, and the weather gradually warmed up. The children had been detained for a whole winter, and seeing this scene, they were naturally eager to try.
Taking advantage of the break, several of the emperor's eldest grandson's companions gathered together to climb trees mischievously. One child spread out the hem of the brocade embroidered with green bamboo patterns with gold and silver threads, and shouted to Du Qing who was climbing on the tree, "Come to me." Du
Qing was wearing a bean green brocade jacket, but without any accessories, and a thin sheepskin lotus coat. The cuffs of other children were either inlaid with expensive oriental pearls or jade beads, which made her look quite shabby.
You have to know that those who can be selected to accompany the study are naturally not children from ordinary families, and there are even families with dozens of generations of meritorious service. These luxurious accessories and beads are just ordinary.
Which mother doesn't love her children? Jiang Yu naturally hoped that Du Qing would wear something delicate and warm, but Du Qing was too naughty, and she would jump up and down whenever she walked. On the first day she entered the palace, she was given a golden locket with a hundred treasures, but she thought it was just a burden to hang it around her neck, so she just crumpled it up and stuffed it into her pocket when she came back.
As for the accessories on the cuffs, Du Qing herself was also very unhappy, saying, "Mother, this thing looks good, but it gets in the way of writing!"
At this moment, Du Qing threw the lotus-shaped clothes into the bushes on the side of the road, rolled up her sleeves, and ran to the tree in a flash. At this time, she could see the benefits of wearing simple clothes, and her movements were particularly neat.
The boys below admired Du Qing very much today, and they all chattered excitedly. One spread out the hem, and the other took out a handkerchief and spread it out, shouting, "I want it too!"
Du Qing smiled and picked elm seeds, and the children below rushed to pick them up, and even two of them bumped into each other and made a sound of "ouch", which was very lively for a while.
Du Qing looked up and saw Fucheng in the house. He climbed on the window frame and looked over at them. He was thin and weak, and his small face was full of desolation.
Fucheng, the eldest grandson of the emperor, was not in good health. It had just rained and the weather was a bit cold, so he naturally could not come out and stayed in the house.
While waiting to go back, Du Qing held a heavy branch full of elm seeds in his hand and winked at him. Fu Cheng smiled and took it. "For me? Such a tall tree, aren't you afraid?"
Du Qing said with a smile, "What's the big deal? You haven't seen the elm tree in my yard. It's taller than this. I picked a basket of elm seed cakes a few days ago. My mother said that when I was a child, I started climbing trees before I could walk steadily on the road."
"Lord Jiang is so relieved?"
"We also have a small pond at home. My mother took great effort to divert it from the side. Last summer, my mother taught me to swim."
Fu Cheng has longed for this for a long time. Every time he heard Du Qing describe the scene at home, he would show an envious look. He has been weak since he was a child, so he is naturally under a lot of control. Now that he has entered the palace, it is even worse than before.
Everyone thought that the emperor would not survive the winter, but Fu Cheng was like a reassurance that the emperor was in a very safe condition.
As a result, the Queen valued this eldest grandson even more, and the status of the Crown Princess also rose, which was particularly eye-catching. Even those rumors that the Crown Prince neglected the Crown Princess seemed to disappear.
Du Qing and Fucheng hit it off at first sight, and they became particularly good friends. The two even sat next to each other and often whispered together.
Du Qing's eyes were full of cunning. He whispered in Fucheng's ear, and Fucheng laughed when he heard it, and it seemed very intimate.
Wuling Hou's youngest son Wu Ding was worthy of being born in a military family. He was the tallest among the group of children. He was holding a branch full of elm money in his hand. He liked it very much and was reluctant to put it down. He kept holding it up. As a result, when he compared it with Fucheng's, he instantly felt that this branch was a little small.
Li Chengshu, the youngest son of Li Ge Lao, winked and said, "Look, our prince, is he very close to Miss Du?"
Wu Ding's face was not good.
Li Shucheng was the same age as Wuding, but he was short and fat, and looked much smaller than Wuding. He was usually good at speaking and had a very lively personality.
There were only two girls here, one was the daughter of the Wuchang monarch, who looked delicate and delicate. After coming for a few days, she said she was not feeling well and stopped coming, so the emperor naturally agreed.
Now Du Qing was the only girl. She was beautiful, smart, and well-educated. She could play with everyone, so she was naturally liked by everyone.
Wuding Hou liked to play with Du Qing the most, but he had no choice but to take care of the emperor's eldest grandson.
When he heard about swimming, Wuding Hou came forward and said, "My family has a big farm in Baoding, and there are hot springs inside. I'll take you there when I take a bath?" He looked at Du Qing with a bit of attentiveness.
Du Qing had heard of the farm of Wuding Hou's family. It was said that it was a reward from the time of Emperor Taizu. Both the peaches on the farm and the warm soup were excellent.
"In addition to warm soup, there are peaches, right?"
Wu Ding listened to Du Qing's crisp voice, and his face, which was very similar to his father Wulinghou, was full of pride. "Yes, there is a large area of peach trees. Every year when the peach blossoms bloom, you can't see the end at a glance."
"I know, my mother specially asked someone to buy your peaches, but she only bought two baskets."
"What's the matter? When the fruits are ready this year, I will send you a cart." Wu Ding patted his chest and promised. Fucheng, who was standing beside him, looked indifferent, but suddenly said, "Wu Ding, have you finished reading the passage that Wang Taifu asked you to recite?"
Wulinghou was a general after all, and he valued martial arts over literature. He had no interest in reading since he was a child. Instead, he preferred to wield swords and guns. At a young age, he had already wielded the family-inherited spear skills with great vigor. He
was dejected when it came to studying.
In fact, according to Wu Ding's knowledge, he naturally couldn't enter the palace to accompany his father to study, but the emperor thought that Wu Ding, a descendant of a general, had strong yang energy, so he could also help Fucheng.
Wu Ding is really powerful. Today he beats the disobedient one, and tomorrow he threatens the one who doesn't obey him. In addition to his noble family and good status, he has become the little bully here.
The children are most afraid of Wu Ding except the eldest grandson.
Wu Ding turned around reluctantly and said aggrievedly, "I don't know what's wrong, I just can't memorize it."
Fucheng has a photographic memory since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't have this trouble. Du Qing is also average, but Du Qing has a warm heart. It's mainly because she wants to eat peaches. After all, Wu Ding said he would send her a car. She said, "Actually, there is a trick to memorizing." Then she said to Li Shucheng, who was sitting next to Wu Ding, "Brother Shucheng, change seats with me."
Wu Ding was naturally very happy. He pushed Li Shucheng and said, "Why don't you get up?"
Li Shucheng was actually very afraid of the eldest grandson. He always felt that he seemed to be quiet, but he was very unfathomable. He walked over slowly.
Fu Cheng pursed his lips and said, "That's not necessary. I'll talk to the Grand Tutor and give you a few days' grace."
Wu Ding's eyes lit up and he said, "Your Highness, you are so generous!"
