The prince does not fight for the heir

The next day, sisters Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen followed Mrs. Xie to the imperial palace, only to find out that the flower appreciation party held by Concubine Xie Guifei was quite grand, and not only their family members of Fu's family were invited.

In addition to them, there are Concubine Xie's natal family, Xie's family of Minister of Industry, Zhenxi Houguan's family and so on.

Just the wives of each family can make up two tables of mahjong, not to mention that each family has at least one young girl, so the older ones stay with the older ones, and the younger ones stay with the younger ones , It's so lively in two places.

Fu Xuechen found out amusedly that even Princess Zhiling came to join in the fun.

"I didn't skip class! The imperial concubine was very kind to me. As soon as I told my concubine mother, concubine mother agreed to bring me along." Princess Zhiling explained solemnly.

"Okay, okay, I see, no one said you skipped class?" Fu Xuechen was actually very happy.

Almost all the "big" girls who came to the flower viewing party this time were over fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was the youngest. After those "big" girls greeted her, they would not pay much attention to her. , she was bored to death.

May is the time when peonies, peonies, roses, roses, pomegranates and other flowers are in full bloom. These beautiful flowers are everywhere inside and outside Yanning Palace.

After the wives finished admiring the flowers, they accompanied Concubine Xie in the room, laughing, chatting, drinking tea and playing cards.Some of the young girls stayed with their wives in the house, while others went out in groups among the flowers in the courtyard.

Only Fu Xuechen and Princess Zhiling were independent, playing with the cat brought by Princess Zhiling on a grass field.

"Sister Xuechen, I heard that you are learning calligraphy and painting from Ms. Zhu Jiuniang, and learning guzheng from Master Yan's apprentice. Is it true?" Princess Zhiling asked curiously.

"That's right, the tuition fees are too high." Fu Xuechen felt heartbroken for her mother.

Princess Zhiling was very excited: "I am also learning painting from Mr. Zhu, so aren't we teachers and sisters?"

Fu Xuechen teased her: "Really? I just started learning! Then I should call you Senior Sister!"

"Hehehehe..." Princess Zhiling laughed very unhappy: "I saw your elder brother Fu Yuchen earlier, and I thought he was really good-looking, so as his twin sister, sister Xuechen, your appearance must be the same! Sure enough, I was not mistaken! But sister Xuechen, you are much more interesting than your brother!"

Fu Xuechen was a little sweaty. She didn't expect that Princess Zhiling could be a beauty controler at a young age. When making friends, look at her face first.

"It's a pity that my current painting skills are still lacking, and I'm still reluctant to be a painter." Princess Zhiling looked at Fu Xuechen carefully with an appreciation of beauty, and said regretfully: "Otherwise, I will have to paint my sister's beauty to be reconciled!"

Fu Xuechen also asked her curiously: "Then what did Your Highness learn to draw?"

"A lot!" Princess Zhiling was a little proud: "I started to learn painting at the age of seven because I liked it, and now I can draw many kinds of flowers! Lotus, plum blossom, epiphyllum, etc., as well as birds, cranes, magpies, swallows, etc. "

"Do you want to see it?" Princess Zhiling suddenly asked.

Seeing her begging for praise, Fu Xuechen responded with a smile: "Yes! If you can, why don't you watch it?"

"Then sister, go to my room and sit down!" Princess Zhiling was overjoyed, and sent the maid beside her to report to her mother and concubine in the room, but she couldn't wait to pick up the cat, and led Fu Xuechen back to Concubine Yi's place The Lianxiu Palace.

Concubine Yi, the head of the palace, was accompanying Concubine Xie at the moment, Fu Xuechen avoided the trouble of meeting, and directly followed Princess Zhiling into the side hall of Lianxiu Palace where she was.

Princess Zhiling quickly brought out a large pile of scrolls and put them on the table. These were old works she was satisfied with, and the ones she was not satisfied with had long been thrown away and burned.

Fu Xuechen found out that she had marked the year, month, and day on the scrolls, so she opened them one by one in order from front to back. She also attended art classes in her previous life, and her appreciation level is not bad, and she also likes to appreciate paintings.

Not to mention, painting is a matter of talent rather than age. Although Princess Zhiling is not very old, she is very talented in painting. Her paintings are full of childish aura. The flowers are simple and simple, and the birds are painted. She is cute and cute, even the ink and wash landscapes have given her the aura of water and mist.

Fu Xuechen did not hesitate to praise, and all kinds of appreciation and praise should not be poured out like money.

From her point of view, Princess Zhiling is simply the kind of person who was born in a family of great painters in later generations, who was personally guided by the master since she was a child, and who is talented in the painting world. She can participate in international painting competitions and win prizes when she was a child. Kind of, if her paintings can be collected, after a few hundred years, in the future, these will probably become precious cultural relics.

Princess Zhiling was both excited and shy when she praised her. The key point is that when others praised her, they just flattered her. They flattered her without knowing anything. Fu Xuechen praised her, but she was able to get everything right. Scratch her itch.

It's not easy!It shows that Fu Xuechen really understands her paintings. Where the paintings are wonderful and what is a pity, all of them are not hidden from her eyes. To be appreciated by a young lady of her age, Princess Zhiling only feels that she is worthy of the praise of her husband. Be happy too.

"Sister Xuechen, which one do you like? Which one do you like, I will give you that one!" Princess Zhiling generously promised to give the painting as a gift, and specially asked someone to prepare pens and inks for Fu Xuechen. Reservation seal.

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness! Then...this one?"

Fu Xuechen was also delighted, and unceremoniously picked a picture of cats and butterflies under begonia flowers. There are not only beautiful flowers, butterflies, but also cats full of immature aura. The composition is interesting and the content is rich.

"Sister is so good at picking!" Princess Zhiling inhaled secretly, it took her ten days of effort from conception to inspiration, to detailed tracing and shaping of this picture!
However, with the painting skills in hand, she could create new similar paintings at any time, so Princess Zhiling had no hesitation, so she signed and signed the painting with a seal, and presented this painting to Fu Xuechen.

Fu Xuechen was also very happy when he got his favorite painting. With both hands to the side, he took Princess Zhiling into his arms and hugged her excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness! You are so cute!"

Princess Zhiling had never been hugged intimately by anyone other than concubine mother, imperial grandmother, and nanny before, so she was slightly startled, then "giggled", took the opportunity to hug her back, and sucked heavily on the other person's body. Body fragrance.

The nuns and maids in the palace all looked at each other in blank dismay. It was the first time for them to meet the princess who dared to hug the princess in such a reckless manner. However, judging by the intimacy between the two, it seems that it is not a bad thing?

Fu Xuechen quickly let go of Princess Zhiling, and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will also give the princess a painting of mine!"

"Okay!" Princess Zhiling snickered in her heart. Fu Xuechen had just started to learn painting from Mr. Zhu. What kind of good paintings can a beginner draw?But seeing the other party's confident appearance, she still responded with a smile.

Fu Xuechen glanced at her sideways, knowing that she had no expectations of him, and the verbal promise was just a gesture of goodwill, hum!She is indeed just learning Chinese painting, but she also learned sketching, comics and watercolor painting in her previous life!Wait!
The two chatted a few more words in the room, and just now they left Lianxiu Palace and returned to the Flower Appreciation Party together.

"Sister Xuechen, since my sixth brother and your brother left Mingde Hall, I feel that the class is no longer fun!" Princess Zhiling chatted: "Recently, my fourth brother is planning to go to the imperial father to expand the number of accompanying students. You said, if I also ask my father, is it possible for me to ask my sister to be my companion?"

Um?Is the number of companions in Mingde hall going to expand?Right!In the past, only a few people were selected as companions for the princes. It is estimated that Emperor Yuan’an had just established the country and the various systems were not yet perfect. If the princes feel that there are too few companions, they want to add a few more seats. After thinking about it, Emperor Yuan'an might really be able to agree.

But being the companion of the princess?Become a classmate with Fu Yuchen, and both siblings go to palace school?
This is not necessary, right?I feel that the things taught by Master Mingdetang are really boring to learn. Why not learn calligraphy, painting, embroidery and guzheng from the female gentlemen?

Fu Xuechen's mind is so flexible!Immediately smiled and said: "I can be your highness's companion as a student, then I can't wish for it! But if I also study with your highness in Mingde Hall, my brother and I will be classmates, which is not very good!"

"Huh? What does Sister Xuechen mean?" Princess Zhiling didn't understand.

Fu Xuechen said casually: "The gentlemen of Mingdetang are all scholars of the imperial court. They teach His Royal Highnesses the knowledge, all for the purpose of letting His Highnesses understand ancient and modern principles, understand the sufferings of the people, and know how to manage fiefdoms."

"His Royal Highness is a woman. According to the rules, even if there is a fief in the future, she can only enjoy the food and food of the fief, and cannot personally manage the feudal domain. Then, what are you doing learning those things about governing the country?"

"Why don't your highness write another letter to your majesty, begging your majesty to set up a girls' school, just like Guozixue, to recruit daughters of civil and military officials like Cui Xiaoyue and me, and invite female gentlemen to teach us Homework suitable for girls, such as Qiqin calligraphy and painting, needlework, cooking and accounting?"

"At that time, Your Highness, you don't have to feel wronged to attend classes with His Royal Highnesses anymore. Wouldn't it be better to have more female students who are about the same age as Your Highness go to school together and learn the courses you like?"

In fact, Fu Xuechen had long thought of establishing a girls' school in the Darong Empire in this time and space. Today, I just talked to Princess Zhiling about it. Wouldn't it be okay to let the princess go to Emperor Yuan'an to have a try?
Princess Zhiling was dumbfounded, she was fooled by Fu Xuechen's brain opening!
But after carefully following Fu Xuechen's train of thought to think about it, the more I think about it, the more heart-wrenching it becomes - you're right!Since the father did not object, and even supported his daughter to go to school and attend classes with her brothers, why couldn't he ask the father to simply set up a separate girls' school, imitating the Guozixue system, recruiting girls only, and teaching homework suitable for girls?

How easy it is for Fu Xuechen, who has the vision of future generations, to incite an ancient with narrow vision!Seeing Princess Zhiling's heartbeat, she chuckled lightly and described the benefits of girls' schools in the Republic of China to her.

There is no restraint of male and female defense, big guys compete with classmates, you can play with a few friends who are compatible with each other every day, a variety of extracurricular activities, graduation certificates of different majors and levels, etc. Wait, wait, Princess Zhiling is about to cry!

During the entire flower viewing party, Princess Zhiling was in no mood to play, and she only took Fu Xuechen and the two of them to hide under the shade of flowers, chatting nonstop about the site selection and establishment of the girls' school, the recruitment and treatment of female gentlemen, the girls' The students chatted about the curriculum, the rules and regulations of the girls' school, etc., and they seemed to be eager to enroll in the school immediately.

Those young girls brought to the flower viewing party by their elders just don't like to talk to Fu Xuechen, a "child" who is several years younger than them. They are still willing to get close to Princess Zhiling, who is also a child .

But Princess Zhiling was discussing with Fu Xuechen about the establishment of a girls' school, and she didn't want the news to leak out before that, so she ordered the maids around her to prevent anyone from approaching her, making those "big" girls only sigh.

The sight of the two little girls huddling their heads together and talking non-stop, even the concubine Xie Guifei and Concubine Yi in the room noticed it, and was very surprised. We talked for a long time, right?

Concubine Yi saw the painting scroll in Fu Xuechen's hand, and called her personal nurse to ask, only to find out that her daughter had actually given this little girl from the Fu family a proud painting, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Zhiling is not casual about her paintings, all those who are dissatisfied are burned, and only those she is satisfied with are kept. Apart from giving them to the elders in the palace as birthday gifts, this is the first time I have seen her willing to give away her paintings to others!"

Concubine Yi still couldn't help gossiping with Concubine Xie: "The friendship between these two girls is really extraordinary! I don't think even Zhiling and the two companions around her have ever seen such a good relationship? It's really strange."

Concubine Xie regretted and said: "It's a pity that the little girl of the Fu family has a twin brother who has already been chosen to accompany the sixth son of my family. It is very unlikely that the Holy Majesty will agree to accompany the prince and princess from the Fu family at the same time. The little girl from the Fu family also has the chance to be selected as the princess' companion."

Concubine Yi thought for a while, shook her head and smiled: "It's not bad! If these two people are really allowed to be together in Mingde Hall, they will have so much to say when they get together like today, maybe Zhiling's homework will be more difficult." Was delayed!"

After staying with Concubine Xie Guifei for dinner, Concubine Yi just left and led Princess Zhiling back to Lianxiu Palace.

But just halfway there, Princess Zhiling proposed to visit the fourth brother who was injured two days ago at the prince's residence.

Concubine Yi didn't think too much: "That's fine! You have always had a better relationship with the Fourth Highness than other Highnesses, so it's also right to visit him. Concubine Mu has some high-quality ginseng here, you can take a box!"

"Thank you, Concubine Mu! Then I'll go see Fourth Brother!"

Princess Zhiling was very happy and did not return to the Xiu Palace. Concubine Yi would find out ginseng when she returned to the palace and ask the eunuch in charge to send it to the prince for her in the name of Princess Zhiling.
