The prince does not fight for the heir

The next morning, Fu Xuechen's letter arrived in the hands of Princess Zhiling.

Yoon Zuo, who was once again a messenger, handed the letter to Princess Zhiling, but he took a roll of paintings wrapped in kraft paper and wax stamps in his hand, and began to remove the wax stamps.

"Sixth Brother! You..." Princess Zhiling wanted to snatch the painting back.

However, Yun Zuo took advantage of his height to lift the painting out of Zhiling's reach, and said, "It was agreed last time! This painting belongs to me this time, you have to keep your promise, don't snatch it!"

Zhiling said depressedly: "That's also a letter from sister Xuechen, shouldn't I read it first?"

It makes sense, but it's too late!Yun Zuo had already torn off the wax seal and unfolded the painting. Immediately, a girl with familiar features appeared in front of him. The two brothers and sisters stopped in unison and stayed where they were.

Princess Zhiling was both surprised and delighted: "Sister Xuechen painted herself?! Ahhh, it looks so good! Sixth brother, please return my painting! Take my portrait away! This one is mine! "

While dodging Zhiling's fight, Yun Zuo quickly put the scroll into his sleeve pocket, while refusing: "It was agreed in advance that this painting will belong to me, how can you break your promise? You want it, you want it. Go to the letter and ask for a new one!"

Zhiling stamped her feet: "Sixth brother! Don't forget that you are a man! You took away the portrait of the girl, is it reasonable? You quickly draw me the portrait of my sister, and I will give you the portrait of me last time! "

Yoon Zuo raised his foot and left: "I can see you in real life almost every day, so what's the use of your portrait?"

Zhiling couldn't catch up with him, so she was unwilling to shout: "You, you...I, I will tell the imperial concubine to go!"

"Don't make trouble!" Yoon Zuo was not threatened by her: "The imaging technique of this portrait is very useful! I take it to learn the above technique. I believe that the concubine can understand, so don't make trouble for me!"

Zhiling gritted her teeth and was so angry that she didn't even bother to write the reply letter to Fu Xuechen. In the afternoon, she wanted to catch Yunzuo and continue to compete for the portrait, but unexpectedly both Yunzuo and Fu Yuchen went to the Qingwei Camp, and they will not be in the palace this afternoon. If you want to find him, you have to wait for the literature class every morning.

Zhiling felt more and more aggrieved, and after school in the afternoon, she went directly to Yanning Palace to ask Concubine Xie.

Concubine Xie Guifei happened to be drinking tea and reading scripts leisurely in the palace, when she heard that Princess Zhiling was asking for an audience outside the palace gate, she was surprised for a moment, and raised her head to signal the maids outside to let Princess Zhiling in.

"Zhiling respectfully greets the noble concubine!" Princess Zhiling gave a blessing to Concubine Xie, her movements were a little impatient.

Concubine Xie Guifei couldn't help laughing and asked: "Zhiling is out of school? Didn't you go back to Lianxiu Palace? Why did you come directly to this palace? Are you worried that your mother and concubine won't see you for a long time?"

Zhiling raised her head, the grievance on her face almost overflowed: "Brother Liu bullied me!"

"Ah?!" Concubine Xie was really surprised this time, never dreaming that Zhiling came to complain: "How dare he do it?! Zhiling, don't be wronged, you and Ben Gong Tell me, how did he bully you? If he is really wrong, I will definitely decide for you and punish him severely!"

Zhao Mama on the side also stared at her old eyes, and looked at Zhiling in surprise. Yoon Zuo has a gentle temperament since she was a child, and is very friendly to everyone, why did she suddenly learn to bully others?

"Sixth Brother took away the painting that Sister Xuechen gave me..."

Princess Zhiling told the story in detail. She didn't dare to hide anything when facing the imperial concubine. She even agreed in advance that as a reward for helping to hand over the booklet and intercede, this time the painting would be donated to I also said about Yoon-joo.

The emphasis is on the back: "I also wanted to appreciate Sister Xuechen's work, but Sixth Brother took it away without waiting for me to take a second look! It was a portrait of someone else's girl! Sixth Brother just took it away. Isn’t it wrong? Sister Xuechen also drew a portrait for me, I can exchange my portrait with Sixth Brother, so there will be no problem, right?”

Zhiling didn't mention what Yun Zuo said at all, he wanted to use the portrait painting techniques to learn something very useful, and wanted her to help explain?Nothing!Wait for the imperial concubine to ask, and answer it yourself!
Concubine Xie Guifei and Nanny Zhao looked at each other, this... this is really unexpected, bullying is such a bullying method.

Concubine Xie thought quickly, and immediately ordered Madam Zhao to take out a string of pink pearl necklaces from her dowry, and gave it to Zhiling, saying, "It's true that your sixth brother did something wrong, since it's an appointment Well, it’s up to you to give it as a gift, so it should pass through your hands first, how could he snatch it by force? This necklace should be regarded as my compensation for him! When he comes back, I will replace it for you Give him a good scolding, don't make yourself angry!"

Pink pearls are really rare, and Zhiling fell in love with them at the first sight, and immediately forgot all the grievances, took them happily, thanked her repeatedly and said that she would not care about Sixth Brother's affairs, and left satisfied.

Concubine Xie Guifei asked Princess Zhiling to be sent away, and she said to Nanny Zhao speechlessly: "Zuo'er actually took the portrait of a little girl, and you are not afraid of being known, what does that mean?"

Zhao mama thought for a while, then smiled and guessed: "From my servant's point of view, the little girl from the Fu family is indeed a rare beauty embryo. I like it too, empress, Your Highness is growing up slowly!"

Concubine Xie Guifei still couldn't believe it: "Impossible? Zuo'er is only thirteen, and Xu is only fourteen. He already knows about big beauties and little beauties?"

"..."

Grandma Zhao doesn't know what to say, do people judge beauty and ugliness according to their age?Not to mention that Yoon-joo is 13 years old, even when he was only two or three years old, he knew how to get close to someone who looks better!

Concubine Xie shook her head: "Wait for him to return to the palace tonight, and let him explain what's going on! Maybe it's all because of our wrong thoughts, and it's unknown if he has no other thoughts at all."

Yoon Zuo, who had dinner with his mother and concubine in Yanning Palace that night as usual, was asked about it before he had a few mouthfuls.

Sure enough, the woman was unreliable, she crossed the river and demolished the bridge, just as she settled the idea of ​​building a girls' school, she immediately sued him behind her back, what she did was nothing more than a small picture.

Yun Zuo secretly complained to Princess Zhiling, but he didn't panic, took out the portrait from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the noble concubine, and said calmly: "Mother, you will know it at a glance!"

Concubine Xie took it curiously, opened it up, and was shocked: "This... so realistic! There is such a magical painting technique reappearing like a real person in the world? It seems that light and darkness are expressed by the number of lines and the thickness of ink. Far or near?"

Concubine Xie Guifei, who was born in a scholarly family, is also a talented woman who is proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and her appreciation of calligraphy and painting works is not bad. Now, when I carefully observe the techniques in the painting on the spot, I am sometimes amazed, sometimes suddenly enlightened, and I gain a lot.

"Mother and concubine, the dishes are getting cold!" Yoon Zuo reminded.

Only then did Concubine Xie regain her senses, and she returned the painting to her son with some reluctance: "Do you want to learn the technique?"

Yoon Zuo nodded: "I feel that if more painters can learn how to draw portraits like real people, it will be more useful than the original portrait painting method for arresting wanted criminals, so I plan to learn it by myself first. , after mastering the essence, then pass it on.”

"So that's how it is!" Concubine Xie Guifei accepted his statement, but she also felt that there was something wrong with him: "But this is a portrait of a girl after all, it's not very good for you to keep it, why can't you exchange it with Zhiling?" What? You can also learn painting skills with Zhiling's portrait?"

"Mother Concubine, Zhiling Erchen is too familiar! If you want Erchen to look at her face to learn painting skills, Erchen will lose interest, and don't learn anything by then." Yoon Zuo mentioned Princess Zhiling's face. disdain.

"..." Concubine Xie Guifei was silenced by him. Princess Zhiling's appearance is actually considered excellent, because she is young and her baby fat has not faded, she still looks a little sweet and cute, but when it comes to beauty, Zhiling The princess is indeed no match for the little girl of the Fu family.

That little girl is cold and charming, with a little thicker makeup, she can immediately be stunningly beautiful, her eyes are bright and moist, and she seems to be able to talk... She looks like this at a young age, but when she grows up, can she still be amazing?
Although Yoon Zuo is still young, it is not surprising that he would prefer the portraits of the little girl from the Fu family, and he is not alone. I am afraid that if anyone chooses, the result will be the same!

Concubine Xie finally had to warn: "Then you have to tighten up the portraits of others. Don't let others peep at them, and don't lose or damage them easily, let alone let them fall into other people's hands."

"Your servant will save it!" Yoon Zuo nodded solemnly.

Concubine Xie was still very relieved of her son, so she ate and drank with peace of mind. After a while, she remembered to ask: "Zhiling wants to build a girls' school? Or did you make it happen?"

"Yes!" Yun Zuo then explained what a girls' school is, why Zhiling wanted a girls' school, and how Emperor Yuan'an agreed to establish the school, and appointed the third prince to serve as the priest of the girls' school, and appointed him as the deputy priest Talk about the business again.

Concubine Xie listened carefully, and asked many questions about the regulations of the girls' school, and finally said enviously: "What a good idea! No one thought of such an idea before. If there was a girls' school in the previous dynasty, I would There are many sisters in the Xie family, and they all gather together to go to school, and there are sisters from other families as companions, how fun it would be!"

Unexpectedly, Yun Zuo could not help but smile when he heard his mother concubine being so emotional.

Concubine Xie glanced at him sideways: "What are you laughing at! Why didn't you come up with such a good idea? It's because Girl Zhiling is so smart that she actually thought of it! It's also thanks to the Holy Majesty who can take pity on children..."

Yun Zuo really laughed this time: "Concubine Mu, it's not Zhiling who came up with this idea, but Xuechen from the Fu family."

"Huh?" Concubine Xie was startled, and then she suddenly realized: "So the little girl from the Fu family came up with this idea? No wonder she and Zhiling stayed together all morning during the last flower viewing party, whispering There's no end to it!"

Concubine Xie immediately thought of safety issues again: "Girls' school puts the first priority on the defense of men and women. You can't let outside men sneak in. It's the reputation of the girls in the school that will be ruined!"

Yoon Zuo nodded: "I know! My father means that only female gentlemen are invited to teach in the school, and the men who do heavy work in the school can be transferred from the palace servants to guard them safely, and the female guards from Zhiling can be appointed in the school. , the inspections outside the school are in the charge of the young guards of the children, so it is safe and sound."

Concubine Xie hesitated: "But your Qingwei will be an adult in a few years."

She didn't mention the issue of Yoon-jo's adulthood, royal men always have some privileges, Yoon-ji is about to become king, and Yoon-jo is also a prince when he is an adult, they usually bring their servants with them when they travel, and they don't stay in girls' schools, they go there occasionally for a meeting , make a decision that won't damage the girls' reputation.

Yun Zuo smiled and said: "Mother, if Qingwei can successfully find a way, I am afraid that recruiting young people to train in the direction of imperial guards will become the norm in the future, and there will be no shortage of young guards to guard the girls' school."

Concubine Xie was relieved, and said with longing: "So, after you build the girls' school, I will invite the wives and their daughters of the right age to come and tell them about this in advance, girls. You must be so happy!"

After happily having dinner in Yanning Palace, Yoon Zuo retreated to his prince's residence.

He took out the portrait again from his sleeve pocket, unfolded it, stared at the vivid girl in the painting, with a hint of wit and wit in his brows and eyes, and the memories of the previous two months came to mind spontaneously.

I don’t know why, those memories that I didn’t deliberately remember, since that day at the Wenhui Tea House, I clearly recognized that the other party was my accompanying reader, but was denied by the other party, the other party took off the mask, and the touching face under the mask , and all the past, along with his short-term confusion at that time, were engraved deep into his memory.

This girl is so bold!He couldn't help but think that he was accompanied by the other party without realizing it, almost inseparable for two months!
Did she ever think about it, what if she was accidentally exposed halfway?Or if my usual behavior is more casual, what should I do if my shoulders and backs are unintentionally frivolous?
wrong!It seems that I have already acted frivolously!

Yoon Zuo remembered that he used to stick behind the other party speechlessly, correcting the other party's bow posture with his hands, and when Guozi was learning to fight in a group, he put his arms around the other party's soft waist and led her to dodge other people's attacks... That's right!How did he feel then?

I just think the other person looks really good-looking!And... the body is so weak!
"..." Yoon Zuo silently wanted to cover his face. After thinking for a while, he stretched out a palm to cover the girl's double bun and the jewelry adorning the bun on the portrait. Hair bun and hairpin, the person in the painting is the person under the mask in the teahouse that day.

Then cover the beautiful and soft eyebrows, and ignore the light red makeup on the small cherry mouth, isn't it just a close companion who has been with him for two months!The temperament in the eyes is exactly the same!
Why don't you care when you have it, and always wait until you lose it, only to find that you didn't cherish it?

do not want to lose!what to do
Yoon-jo squeezed his fist hard, there was only one way he could think of...

Thanks to book friends Qi Yu and Qianqian Acacia for their support!Thanks!
