Chapter 373 Selecting Companion Readers

After the establishment of the emperor's younger brother, it will be the Spring Festival soon.

Before the new year, the imperial lady specially summoned more than a dozen children or grandchildren of important ministers to enter the palace. These people were chosen as companions for the prince and daughter.

The biological mothers of the little princes and daughters were not of high status, and their maternal ancestral families were not reused by the emperor, so the imperial concubine did not choose companions from the natal families of these little princes and daughters.

Although the family status of the little princes and princesses is not too high, they are the sons and daughters of the emperor after all, and at least they will be princesses of the county king in the future, so the important officials dare not neglect them, and the companions who are sent to the palace are carefully selected of.

Ning Qingyu and Ning Qingheng were also called into the palace by the emperor, along with Su Chongjiu and Su Jinrong.

Ning Youbei took the four children to greet the emperor first. Out of selfishness, Ning Youbei notified Ye Yu'an.

As soon as the four children had greeted the emperor, Eunuch Rong announced at the door: Ye Shilang has something to report to the emperor.

If Eunuch Rong dared to report like this, he naturally knew that Su Chongjiu was Ye Yu'an's son.

The emperor knew that Ye Yu'an was here to see his son, and it was not easy to think about him, so he let him into the imperial study.

After Ye Yu'an saluted to the emperor, she looked up and saw the emperor and Ning Qingheng in his arms.

The emperor raised his chin, "Ye Shilang, these two children are Qingyu's companions, what do you think?"

This is of course polite.

Ye Yu'an looked at Su Chongjiu.

Su Chongjiu smiled sweetly at Ye Yu'an: "Uncle Ye."

Ye Yu'an resisted the desire to go up to touch Su Chongjiu, and responded gently.

Among the people present, only Su Jinrong didn't understand the situation, and he also called Ye Yu'an loudly: "Uncle Ye."

Ning Qingheng corrected Su Jinrong: "Brother Jinrong, you should be called Uncle Ye."

Su Jinrong changed his tune and called, "Uncle Ye."

Ye Yu'an also responded to him in a gentle voice.

The emperor thought in his heart: Su Shangshu, the grandson, is also a fool.The other three of the four children are extremely intelligent, but they all protect him.

Ye Yu'an was already replying to the emperor's words: "The two companions chosen by Your Majesty are excellent."

The emperor said: "I am going to take these children to see those accompanying readers. Since you are here, come with me."

Ye Yu'an agreed.

The emperor walked ahead with Ning Qingheng in his arms, and Ye Yu'an took the opportunity to walk up to Su Chongjiu, "I heard that you are learning from the master, what have you learned?"

Su Chongjiu looked up at Ye Yu'an, her beautiful smiling eyes were exactly the same as Su Yingxue's.

"The master taught the four of us martial arts, but the contents of each person's teaching are different.

He taught Brother Qingyu the very powerful Mingyou Palm, taught me the Xiaoyao Sword, taught Jin Rong Xiaoyun the swordsmanship, and taught Qingheng's younger sister Luoying Sword and Luoying Whip.

In addition to teaching martial arts, he also asked Qingyu brother to learn the art of war and astronomy, and Qingheng sister and I to learn the art of mechanisms. "

Hearing Su Chongjiu's talk, Ye Yu'an knew that the old man Tianshu taught students according to their aptitude.

"Your master has great abilities, you follow him and practice hard."

"Well," Su Chongjiu looked at Ye Yu'an with a charming smile, "Uncle Ye can come and see us for study when you have time."

Not to be outdone, Su Jinrong tweeted:

"Uncle Ye, I originally wanted to learn the art of organs with brother Chongjiu, but my great-grandfather refused to let me practice Xiaoyun swordsmanship first."

Ye Yu'an patted Su Jinrong's head, "You are going to study with the masters soon, and the time to practice martial arts will be reduced, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't be greedy."

While the group was talking, they soon arrived at the Wenhua Palace.

This Wenhua Palace is a special place for the little princes and princesses to go to school, and it is divided into two places for men and women.

The children of the nobles were already waiting in the Wenhua Hall, and when they saw the Emperor and Ning Youbei, they saluted one after another.

The emperor sat on the main seat, and Ning Qingheng was hugged by the emperor and sat on his lap.Ning Youbei, Imperial Concubine Huang and Ye Yu'an sat down on the seats below and below the emperor.

The fifth princess is six years old this year. She looked at Ning Qingheng who was sitting on the emperor's lap with jealousy, and ran up to the emperor, "Father, I also want you to hug me."

The emperor said indifferently: "Didn't you see the father hugging the younger sister? Besides, why do you still have the nerve to compete with the younger sister when you are so old?"

The fifth princess pursed her mouth and wanted to cry.

The imperial concubine hurriedly smoothed things over, "Fifth princess, you sit next to the fourth princess, and you're about to start choosing a companion."

The fourth princess pouted.

This fifth younger sister is really clueless. The emperor has always only had Ning Qingheng in his eyes. When did they have princesses like them?Just like her, she dared to fight for favor.

The imperial concubine ignored the little prince and princess's little thoughts, and she introduced more than a dozen companions to the emperor one by one.

The emperor listened unequivocally, and took a look when the imperial concubine introduced Duke Hu's granddaughter, but the emperor frowned almost imperceptibly after the look.

Didn't he specifically tell Duke Protector to choose a steady and honest girl?Why did you pick a girl with beautiful eyebrows?It looked a little delicate.

Is this for Qingheng to choose a companion to read or for the princes to prepare candidates for the concubine?
Not to mention, Duke Protector really had this in mind.

He thought what would be the point of reading as a companion to a princess?If you can become a princess in the future, it will not be in vain.

The imperial concubine introduced the last girl:

"Your Majesty, this girl is the concubine's grand-niece. She is a bit clumsy. She doesn't meet the requirements for being a companion. She must be selfish."

Seeing that it was the grand-niece of the imperial concubine, the emperor also took a look, she was a child who didn't look very smart.

After the introduction, the imperial concubine said: "The five princes will be selected first, and then they will be arranged in order of seniority."

The fifth prince picked out the grandson of Shangshu Hubu and the cousin of Xingjianhou. The emperor sighed in his heart when he saw this: This is another clever person.

What does it mean that the fifth prince still wants to win over power since he clearly established Youbei as the emperor's younger brother?
Despite thinking so in his heart, the emperor didn't say a word.

Next came the sixth prince and the seventh prince, who were basically selected according to their family status, and the emperor found it even more boring.

The emperor couldn't help looking at Su Chongjiu and Su Jinrong.

Ye Yu'an was smart since she was a child, so it doesn't matter if her son is smart.Su Ziyi is not as good as himself, why is his son smarter than his own sons?
Is it because of the mother?

The biological mothers of my own princes and daughters are not smart.

The two smartest women in the harem are Imperial Concubine and Concubine Li, but neither of them could conceive their own children.

After the princes finished choosing companions, it was the turn of the princesses next.

The fifth, sixth and seventh princes all looked at Ning Qingyu, Su Chongjiu and Su Jinrong.The sixth prince finally couldn't hold back: "The Prince of Chu hasn't chosen a companion yet."

After Ning Youbei was made the emperor's younger brother, the emperor originally planned to order Ning Qingyu and the princes, but Qu Chu didn't agree, so he still called him "the prince of Chu".
