Empress Su naturally couldn't see Zhao Nuo. Emperor Guangxi was more powerful than guarding her against thieves. She would rather hold her sore hands, than let her touch her.

In order to protect the safety of Concubine Duan and his son of Yonghe Palace, Emperor Guangxi asked Chu Feng to take the inner court guards to guard the gate of Yonghe Palace. Without the emperor's oral instructions, no one would have thought of going in to visit.

After hearing this, Empress Su did not upset with Emperor Guangxi. She did not specifically ask someone to inquire about the news about Yonghe Palace, nor did she think about how to deal with Concubine Duan. During these days, she often went to Shangshufang to visit the eldest prince Zhao Xi.

There is only one prince in the entire palace, and he is alone every day when he goes to and from school.

Zhao Xi and Song Yuanbao are the same age as thirteen years old.

The children in the palace are not bad. Zhao Xi is already a handsome young man at a young age.

As soon as Tianxiaxue walked out of Shangshu's room, the young father-in-law who was serving him intimately whispered: "Your Highness, the Empress is here again."

Zhao Xi put away the folding fan in his hand and put it on his palm, "You go and reply, just say I'm going to Shanglinyuan to learn riding and shooting today, and I don't have time to see her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Queen Su's laughter came from behind, "No matter how busy the eldest prince is, he will never be so busy that he has no time to listen to my words, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xi frowned almost imperceptibly, turned around, bowed, "I wish you a blessing to my mother."

Queen Su looked at him with kindness, "No need to be polite."

Zhao Xi stood up straight, his tone was faint, "Is there anything wrong with my mother looking for her son later?"

Empress Su waved her hand and asked the palace maid behind her and the young father-in-law next to Zhao Xi to retreat.

Zhao Xi said, "My mother has something to say, please tell me. My son will have to go to Shanglinyuan later. The master is waiting, and the time is a bit rushed."

Queen Su didn't hear the alienation and indifference between the words of the party.

She paused and straight to the point, "Will you feel too bored if you go to school and go to Shanglinyuan to learn horse riding and archery every day?"

Zhao Xi didn't say anything, waiting for Queen Su's following.

"I plan to find a companion for you, but I wonder what you think?"

Zhao Xi smiled, "Everything that my son is given to me by my father. If my father agrees, my son will have no objection."

In one sentence, point the finger at Emperor Guangxi.

There is no simple-minded person in the palace. Queen Su is not surprised that Zhao Xi can handle people and things at such a young age. She smiled and said, "Then, I will just pretend that you agree."

After Empress Su left, the young master looked at her master worriedly, "Your Highness, what should I do?"

No matter how blind you are, you can see that the queen has lost her parents' home to support her and is threatened by the Yonghe Palace. Now she has shifted her target to the eldest prince. If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably want to bring the eldest prince into her own name.

Zhao Xi looked at the direction where Queen Su left, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing.

——

Before Emperor Guangxi stayed in Kunning Palace, Empress Su went directly to Qianqing Palace to find someone.

Emperor Guangxi did not avoid it and asked Eunuch Cui to invite people in.

"The queen is so anxious to see me, is there anything wrong?" Emperor Guangxi sat on the dragon throne, knocking on the armrests with his fingertips.

Empress Su directly explained her purpose, "I recently went to Shangshufang and saw that the eldest prince went to and from school alone, without brothers or brothers, and it was inevitable that he would be lonely. So I thought to find a companion for him to study. The emperor thought, what about my proposal?"

Emperor Guangxi knew it, "It seems that the queen already has a suitable candidate in her mind."

Empress Su nodded, "The young master who is in the fourth place in my brother's family is still in the Imperial College. The little fourth is not much older than the eldest prince. He is a very regular child. The final exam results of the Imperial College last year were also good. He was the one who was the company to study. I believe that it will help the eldest prince study harder."

The understatement of the proposal not only gives a reason to win over the eldest prince, but also can legitimately place his own people around the eldest prince. More importantly, it gives the Duke's Mansion a chance to make meritorious contributions. If Zhao Xi becomes the emperor in the future, he will not be able to kill his companionship, and he should be rewarded based on his merits.

Three wins at one stroke.

Emperor Guangxi squinted his old eyes.

I have to say that he is very scheming and smart.

He curled his lips and smiled, Emperor Guangxi said: "It is rare that the queen has this kind of heart. If you take time, I will bring the people into the palace and see me first."

Empress Su didn't expect things to go so well, and her joy was not revealed on her face, and she was slightly blessed. "Tomorrow, the Imperial College will be on rest, and I will arrange for someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to pass on oral orders."

Emperor Guangxi picked up the teacup and lowered his eyes slightly. The sharp light in his eyes quickly disappeared.

——

The rest of the day will be held tomorrow, and Su Yaoqi and the others will organize a gathering of classmates, intending to start on the Jinghu Painting Boat.

When he was finished school, Su Yaoqi specially stopped Song Yuanbao, told him about this, and asked him if he would like to go tomorrow.

Song Yuanbao wanted to refuse, but when he thought that his father often said he wanted to communicate more with others, he hesitated for a moment and nodded and said he would go.

Su Yaoqi patted his shoulder, "Then let it go, see you tomorrow at Jinghu."

After talking, he enthusiastically sent Song Yuanbao back to their carriage.

This year he grew one year older, and Su Yaoqi's mind matured a lot. When he saw Wen Wan, he no longer had the impulse to him like last year. He smiled at the other party and greeted him calmly.

Wen Wan smiled politely, and after Song Yuanbao got on the bus, she ordered Lin Bo to set off.

On the carriage, the mother and son sat opposite each other.

Wen Wan asked him, "What did you two just say, so happy?"

Song Yuanbao said truthfully: "They are going to the party on the pleasure boat tomorrow and invited me."

Wen Wan was a little worried, "Are you planning to go alone?"

"Anyway, I'm all classmates, so there shouldn't be any big problems, right?"

"That won't work." Wen Wan shook her head, "It's too dangerous."

"But my father asked me to get along with my classmates more!" Yuanbao said: "If I'm worried, I'll take Duan Yan and Hui Mo."

Duan Inkstone and Huimo were named by Song Wei who specially bought the servant to serve Yuanbao, and Yuanbao himself.

A few days ago, the mansion added a lot of servants and a carriage.

The new house is no closer to the Hanlin Courtyard than the original house. Song Wei walks too far to the yamen office every day, and the only carriage in his family needs to pick up Wen Wan and Yuanbao.

Wen Wan listened to the words and was silent for a while, "Okay, you can take them both!"

At most, let Wei Qian call a few people to follow him secretly tomorrow.

——

It was rare to go out to play, and it was another sunny day. Yuanbao got up early, took a shower and changed his clothes, and cleaned up himself well. He put on his moon-white soft robe, and he looked like a gentle and gentle boy who had just taken shape.

Wenwan saw him when she went out and praised him, saying that the longer the ingot, the better.

The young boy gradually faded away and heard this and his ears were red.

He was full of hope to go to the lake with his classmates, but unexpectedly, a person from Duke Jingguo's mansion came to the palace and said that their fourth young master was introduced to the palace by the emperor and could not go to Jinghu. He said something and apologized by the way.

Song Yuanbao felt a little disappointed, but it was not too obvious. He asked the person who passed the message, "Is there anything wrong with him?"

The message was Su Yaoqi's book boy. He knew that his young master was close to the Song family, so he didn't hide it and whispered: "It seems to be to choose a companion for the eldest prince."

"So that's it." Song Yuanbao suddenly realized.

After sending the man away, he went back to the house and changed into a soft satin robe, and put it back on the usual blue straight green.

In the main hall, Mrs. Song heard Jinbao placing on the side of the door frame and called her brother. When she came out, she saw her eldest grandson coming here and asked him: "Didn't she say she's going to have a party with her classmates, why did she come back?"

Song Yuanbao did not explain in detail, but only said that something happened temporarily and could not get away.

After saying that, he bent down and picked up Jinbao.

The two-year-old guy, chubby, weighed it a little heavy, Yuanbao raised it twice, put it down, and then asked in his ear, "Do you want to learn painting? Brother, I'll teach you."

Jinbao looked up at his brother, his eyes were black, black and bright.

Yuanbao said to his grandmother, took the little guy to his own study in the outer yard, and took the burly paper for practice.

The servant grinds the ink aside.

Yuanbao asked Jinbao to sit in front of the desk. He took the pen and dipped it ink, and gave it to the little guy to pinch it. He held his hand and slowly outlined it on the rough paper. The painting was originally a floor-to-ceiling blue and white vase next to the bookshelf. The little guy who was painting for the first time seemed to have opened the door to a new world, guiding his brother to scribble. Finally, Yuanbao looked at the messy ball on the rough paper: "..."

——

When Emperor Guangxi saw Su Yaoqi, he asked him a few casually.

This was not the first time that the boy saw the emperor, but he was inevitably nervous when facing Tianwei and his answer was not very straightforward.

Emperor Guangxi heard of Su Yaoqi, a child raised by his uncle who grew up in clean water, and he never let him get involved in anything about the family.

Queen Su was also present.

Emperor Guangxi did not directly comment on whether Su Yaoqi was good or bad. He asked someone to invite the eldest prince over and told him to beat Su Yaoqi to be his companion. "This young master of the Su family is good at studying, but not good at riding and shooting. Xier, you should know how to be humble when you go to Linyuan."

Zhao Xi, who received the order, had his eyes slightly moved, and he slowly curled his lips, "Son Master obeys the order."
