wedding dress

Chapter 224 Companion
Xiaodong didn't get up until the next day, and there were guests at home.

The fourth prince is here.

"Sister Xiaodong entered the palace yesterday, why did she leave without waiting for me to finish school?"

His expression showed a bit of grievance, like a puppy neglected by his master.

Xiaodong felt a little apologetic, she really didn't think of the Fourth Prince yesterday.The matter of the Empress Dowager Shengci occupied most of her attention, and later she met the fifth princess.

"I was negligent. Then why are you here today? Are you on vacation at school?"

"Well, there is no class today." The fourth prince untied his cloak and sat down beside Xiaodong.Because the room is warm, Xiaodong wears less clothes, so she can clearly see the bulge of her belly.

The fourth prince's expression was full of awe: "Sister Xiaodong is about to give birth to a baby—is it a little nephew or a little niece?"

"Well, you won't know until you're born."

"Hi nephew, I can still teach him to read and write in the future."

Sure enough, even a half-grown child like the fourth prince thought it would be good to have a boy.

Xiaodong teased him: "Then what if it's a niece? You just ignore her?"

The fourth prince shook his head like a wave drum: "If it's a niece, um... I will find her a good husband's family in the future."

This promise is naive and ridiculous, but it is sincere.

For men, the most important thing is to study and start a career.For women, the most important thing is to get married.

As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

Xiaodong asked someone to bring some snacks to the Fourth Prince.

Because Xiaodong's eating habits are not fixed now, he wants to eat sweet in the morning, but at noon he changes his mind and wants to eat sour.So I prepared a lot of snacks and food.Especially the hot rose mincemeat soup is labor-intensive and expensive.It's a practice in the south, and it's not common in the capital.After all, the fourth prince was still young, even though he was a bit reserved, he was defeated in the face of the sweet and tangy temptation, holding the bowl and drinking one after another.

"Be careful, drink slowly."

The fourth prince drank a bowl of mincemeat soup and ate two pieces of crispy ham pie. He stopped his hands contentedly, only to notice that the maids in the room were all paying attention to him.

The fourth prince felt a little uncomfortable, and cleared his throat: "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't eat any snacks at school..."

"Well, try this again."

Xiaodong picked up fresh meat, chrysanthemum siu mai and put it in a small bowl in front of him: "This is also made in the south, it is not made in the palace."

The fourth prince showed a struggling expression, vacillating between "I want to eat, I want to eat, I really want to eat" and "I want to maintain the image of the prince".

"Auntie, we're coming in."

The fourth prince turned his head and looked out. Two brothers from the Li family came in with smiles. They were both wearing school clothes. One had ink on the front and the other had crumpled hem.The two watched the fourth prince sitting next to Xiaodong, and stopped at the same time.

"Both of you, come and meet the Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince didn't need to struggle this time, the Li family brothers saluted him, he only accepted half of the salute, and said very gracefully: "No need to be too polite, they are all from my family. We have met last time."

The Li family brothers looked at each other.

They obviously don't remember the fourth prince.

Xiaodong just remembered that when the fourth prince went to her new house last time, he happened to catch up with the brothers and sisters of the Li family who came to the door and took a quick look.The brothers of the Li family don't remember, but the fourth prince really has an unforgettable memory, he is worthy of being a child of the royal family—but then again, the appearance of the brothers of the Li family who were reincarnated from starvation last time probably left a deep impression on the fourth prince. impression it.

Xiaodong asked them: "Why did you come back so early today? Did you meet Mr. Zhang?"

"The school will have a five-day vacation starting tomorrow." Tusheng said.

"We went to see Mr., but Mr. is not in the house." Baocheng said.

Has Zhang Ziqian gone out?
Xiaodong has hardly seen him go out—of course, maybe he often goes out, but Xiaodong doesn't know it.

"What did you learn today? Do you have any homework?"

Baocheng was quicker than Tusheng: "Today we met with those from the East Yard and beat them to shame."

Tusheng hurriedly gave him a hand.

Xiaodong was startled: "A fight?"

"No, no, no fight." Tusheng explained: "They picked things up, saying that we are full of wine bags and rice bags here. We just competed with them. It was classmate Cai Shiqing and the others who came to poetry, and we were the ones who threw pots and archery. Brother came, they lost both."

"Oh..." Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, the competition was nothing, if he swung his fists, he would inevitably be injured.It doesn't matter if you hurt yourself or someone else.

As soon as the two of them left the house, Tusheng gave Baocheng a sudden: "You are stupid, why did you mention this to your aunt."

Baocheng felt a little guilty: "I won the battle, I couldn't hold back my joy..."

"Then you have to hold back. If you have something to say, talk to your husband."

Baocheng shrank his head, and then his eyebrows brightened again: "The East Courtyard is really cowardly, let alone four, even eight, it's just a waste of money."

"Be quiet."

The two brothers have different personalities. After all, Tusheng is older than Baocheng, and he thinks more: "The two who are not easy to mess with in the East Court didn't come today, or do you think we can be so beautiful? Come back and talk to the husband, after the release They will definitely not be reconciled to going back on leave these days, and they will definitely..."

He suddenly closed his mouth and turned his head, Baocheng also turned his head to look.

The fourth prince, who was dressed in exquisite clothes, followed behind the two of them at some point, smiling and clapping his hands, his eyes turned from Tusheng's face to Baocheng's.

Just now in the room, I thought this child was beautiful, she was like a little girl, and she was very good-natured.

It didn't feel like that once I got out.

The way he laughed, for some reason, reminded Tusheng of what he had just said, those two people in the east courtyard who were not easy to mess with.

"Why don't you talk? I'm listening."

He smiled, and Baocheng blurted out, "We're not storytellers. We want to listen to it in a teahouse outside. Ten cents can be used to listen to it for a day."

"Go." Tu Sheng patted him: "Fourth Prince..."

"Hey, don't be so polite. They are all from my own family, sister Xiaodong's nephew, and of course my nephew too."

Now Native was too choked to speak.

Both of them followed their father, Li Wanhe was tall and big, of course they couldn't be short.The fourth prince, Xiangniang, and Wenxiu were weak, standing in front of them—it was like an eagle seeing a chick.

Baocheng almost didn't jump up.

I didn't pay attention to the address just now, but now I realize that this kid has taken advantage of me.

Return nephew?
Just this kid... and...

Well, seriously, I really have to call him uncle.

Before the two brothers could hold back their words, the fourth prince waved his hands and said, "I won't talk about that, it's quite cold outside. Where do you two live?"

Until the fourth prince entered the room with the two of them, Tusheng and Baocheng looked at each other——

Why did you invite this man to your house?
"It's really warm in this room." The fourth prince didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and sat down generously: "You two brothers live in the same room?"

Baocheng said angrily: "Our brothers have lived in the same room since we were young, and it's the same everywhere we go."

The fourth prince nodded, and said sincerely: "That's great, I have been sleeping by myself since I was a child, and I also have an older brother, but it's a pity that I can't speak a few words a year."

This sentence was said very lightly, both Baocheng and Tusheng could hear the deep loneliness inside.

"Sit down." He turned to be the guest.

Baocheng really wanted to sit down, he bent his legs and realized it.

"It's getting late, the fourth prince might not be in time if he doesn't go back to the palace sooner."

The fourth prince nodded and said: "It's really late, less than an hour. It's not easy to come out, but you can't stay long."

Baocheng still felt a little sympathetic to him.

If their brothers are wild birds in the mountains, then the fourth prince must be a canary in a cage.

This cage is inlaid with gold and jade, it is also a cage.

The fourth prince didn't say anything more, and finally sent him away, and the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"This kid is not simple." Baocheng said in a low voice: "Look at him in front of the princess, he is better than a kitten. He changes his face when he turns around."

"The imperial palace is full of human beings." Tu Sheng said, "There is no fool who can survive."

Baocheng nodded: "Yes, you look at the mountain fox in a daze, but it is hard to catch."

The two brothers didn't think too much about the Fourth Prince's affairs. They had to prepare for Dong Yuan'er's counterattack, which was not easy to deal with.

These things in the academy are basically resolved by themselves, and none of those gentlemen have ever known about it, nor have they intervened.

The two of them planned for a long time, thinking about how to ask Zhang Ziqian for advice.

Zhang Ziqian also taught them, but most of the time he herded the sheep and grazed the grass. The two brothers were very convinced, and always thought that this gentleman was really capable.

The two respectfully made Zhang Ziqian's bed, folded the quilt, served tea and water, and Zhang Ziqian finished writing a letter and folded it.

"Sir, that matter..."

Zhang Ziqian didn't know what to think of, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about that."

The two didn't understand what it meant not to worry for a while, and they couldn't ask any more.

This vacation is not over yet, Xiaodong heard a piece of news.

"Huh?" She was puzzled: "Really?"

The fourth prince begged the emperor, wanting the Li family brothers to read with him.

Moreover, the emperor agreed.

Xiaodong pondered for a while, the fourth prince came here twice in total, and met the Li family brothers both times, this could be considered as fate?

Could it be because of the relationship between these two aspects that he suddenly named these two companions?

Qin Lie was also stunned for a moment, touched his chin: "The kid is going into the palace?"

"Of course you don't want to go in." Xiaodong said, "It's not that you haven't been a companion student. To put it simply, it means that the two brothers have transferred to another school and studied in a different place. But Jixian Hall... "

The water is very deep.

Qin Lie rubbed his head: "It's not a big deal. The two of them dealt with officials' children every day in Fengnan. Now that they have changed places, they are dealing with another group of officials' children and clan children. They are smart, so they shouldn't cause trouble of."

Having said that, Xiaodong still felt that it was a bit too sudden.

Of course, the Li brothers felt more sudden.

Reading with that canary?

What a joke!
How good it was at Fonnan, after they got past the initial discomfort, it was like a duck to water.The gang of dandies inside seemed to be the same as the people they knew before, but they were different in one aspect.In fact, many people are not as incompetent as they appear on the surface, and those who follow the powerful people every day to support them also have their own schemes.

It was so much fun!

But I just thought this place was good, and I want to change places again!

--------

The cold is getting worse ==

I hope the weather will be hot tomorrow, otherwise how can I wear those shorts. .
