Outside the Palace (1)

He Chao and He Yang were all keen-minded people and quickly guessed the whole story.

No wonder my mother asked the three of them to return to Beijing together.

My third brother is only eight years old and should have been with my mother for a few more years. Now I go back to Beijing to study early, one is to accompany the Empress Dowager, and the other is to meet Princess Jiarou every day.

Getting married in the future will be a natural thing.

The little He Yao didn't know everyone's thoughts at all.

He just simply felt that Empress Dowager Pei loved him very much, and the emperor and the empress were also very kind, and Princess Jiarou Yuanxi's cousin was very beautiful.

After a while, the four Pei brothers and sisters who were studying in the study room also came.

Pei Jue's eldest son Pei Yuan is eleven years old this year, and his second son Pei En is nine years old.

Pei Zhang's eldest daughter Pei Si was ten years old, and his second son Pei Nian was eight years old.

He Chao and He Yang were a few years older and were old enough to be a job. He exchanged a few greetings with the Pei brothers and sisters before silenced.

He Yao was very happy to meet so many playmates of the same age. Yuanxi didn't have any princess airs, and a few children gathered together to play, and they were very harmonious.

The palace was filled with children's laughter and joy. Queen Mother Pei's eyebrows and eyes were stretched out and she smiled happily.

Emperor Xuanping smiled happily and said, "As soon as there are more children, the palace is indeed much more lively." He smiled at Queen Liang and said, "Tomorrow, Xuan Liangfang and Cheng Yao will enter the palace."

Queen Liang responded with a smile.

She only has a daughter like Yuanxi, who has been carefully educated since childhood. Love is like a pearl in her hand. However, there are no children of the same age in the palace, Yuanxi can't help but feel a little lonely.

This is great now. The palace is getting lively. Yuanxi laughs more times today than in the past few days.

It's a coincidence.

On this day, Cheng Jinrong's letter was also sent to Renhe Palace.

Receiving letters from her daughter every month is Queen Pei’s greatest joy. She dismantled the letter in front of everyone, her eyes swept away and her face was filled with joy.

Emperor Xuanping asked with a smile: "What did cousin Rong write in the letter? Is the queen so happy?"

Empress Dowager Pei responded with a smile: "Jinrong is pregnant again, and it's already three months."

Emperor Xuanping was very happy when he heard the good news: "Okay, it's indeed a happy event."

"Jinrong gave birth to three sons and has been looking forward to having a daughter." Empress Dowager Pei smiled and said, "I just hope that this baby can get what I want."

Queen Liang heard it and felt a little awkward.

She has been looking forward to having another pregnancy and giving birth to a prince for the emperor. Unfortunately, she failed to do so. Now, Xi Jie'er is eight years old and the emperor has no children yet...

The court officials would not dare to say anything about the emperor, so all this became the blame for her, the queen.

In fact, the problem was not her. She privately asked a few imperial physicians to treat her pulse and recuperate her body. She was young and healthy, and nothing wrong with it.

It was Emperor Xuanping who was poisoned and completely damaged his essence.

It was a blessing that she was able to get pregnant and give birth to Yuanxi. She has taken countless medicines to regulate her body in the past eight years, but she has not been pregnant.

She also thought about choosing a concubine for the emperor. Emperor Xuanping said, "In my life, I only have you as my wife. I will not touch other women."

She burst into tears and cried for a long time. After that, she never mentioned choosing a concubine again.

Even if she is selfish, she would rather bear the infatuation of being unvirtuous than monopolize her husband.

...

After lunch, Emperor Xuanping called He Chaohe Yang in front of him and asked carefully. He then compared the skills of the two.

Emperor Xuanping's method of comparing his nephews was very simple. He called his imperial guards and asked them to fight with He Chao brothers.

The imperial guards were selected from the imperial guard competition, and each of them was from the generals with outstanding skills. He Chao and He Yang were not afraid at all. One of them faced the two imperial guards, but he was not at a disadvantage.

Especially He Chao was even more brilliant. After a hundred moves, the long sword was as fast as a dragon. He first knocked off the sword of an imperial guard, and then the long sword hit the chest of another imperial guard.

The two imperial guards were willing to bow down.

He Yang's skills were a little worse than his brother, and he defeated two imperial guards after two hundred moves.

Emperor Xuanping was very satisfied with his two nephews.

He called Zhu Qijue, the commander of the imperial guards, and said with a smile: "He Chao and He Yang will serve as a servant from tomorrow. Please ask the prince-consort to take their brothers for a while. Teach them the rules of serving on the imperial guards one by one."

Zhu Qixuan agreed happily.

After the three brothers of He Chao returned to their residence, they told the grandmother of the Grandpa Peaceful Duke about their visit to the palace.

Duke Ping had expected it and smiled and nodded slightly: "According to the rules of the palace, to be an imperial guard, you must first pass the election of imperial guards. And you must be over fifteen years old."

"The Emperor has set the precedent for your brothers, and it can also show his favor and love for you. You must not let down the Emperor's love for you."

He Chao and He Yang responded seriously.

The lady looked at her promising great-grandson and was filled with relief. When she thought of He Yao who was about to live in Renhe's palace, she was reluctant to leave. She couldn't help but mutter: "Studying in the palace is a good thing. However, there is no need to let Sanlang live in the palace!"

Duke Ping smiled and said, "This is the grace of the Queen Mother. No one can ask for it. Don't let your mother say these words into the ears of others."

The lady also laughed: "I have only been with my great-grandchildren for a few days now, and I feel really reluctant to leave. However, going to the palace to study is indeed a glorious and decent thing. I can still stop you!"

The key is that the Empress Dowager ordered her to stop her, and she couldn't stop her!

He Yao was very sensible and immediately said, "Great-grandmother, the Queen Mother said, go to the study room to study, and take a day off for five days. As soon as I take a break, I will come back to accompany my great-grandmother."

The grandmother hugged He Yao in her arms and kissed her heavily: "What a great-grandson of grandmother!"

He Yao's little face turned red in shame, making everyone laugh.

...

On that day, Queen Liang issued a phoenix order to go to Liang Mansion and Cheng’s family.

The happy event that the princess could be a companion, but she couldn't wait for. The Liang family was overjoyed and immediately packed up some clothes for Liang Fang and sent Liang Fang to the palace early the next morning.

The Cheng family was also very happy.

Ye Qingyun was not so happy.

She is just such a precious daughter, so how could she bear to send her to the palace?

Cheng Jinghong knew her thoughts, and his words touched her: "Qingyun, it is a fact that the Cheng family is not high. It is a good thing that our daughter can enter the palace to be a princess accompanying her. Even if she wants to ask for it, the Empress Dowager is for Jinrong's face, and she is supporting our Cheng family. Otherwise, where will Yaoyao be the turn?"

"She went to the palace to be a companion to study, and she could have the best teacher and her knowledge would be far better than that of ordinary children. In the future, she could also reach a higher level of marriage."

"Besides, I'm not coming back when I go to the palace to study. I'll take a day off every five days. What else are you not happy about?"

After much persuasion, he finally convinced Ye Qingyun.

So, Cheng Yao also went to the palace to be a princess companion.
