Chapter 178 Explore Each Word

Li Tian leaned against the pillow and listened carefully. Her fingers slowly twisted the corner of the handkerchief. She thought for a moment, and only gently said 'um'.

The snow appreciation banquet of the internal and external women has dispersed, but the imperial garden is full of poetry and songs. The fifth prince and the eldest prince stood in the same place, looking at the team dance of the female disciples in front of them from time to time, while calmly saying idle gossip: "... There is no idea about the case of playing the Moon Tower. I have told my father," The eldest prince paused for a while and then continued, "I'm afraid this is the only way."

"Well," the fifth prince closed the folding fan, turned his back and turned his back. He looked at the fourth princes who were talking to several Hanlin on the other side. His eyes shrank slightly and said with a smile, "What's the matter to investigate? What can you find out? It's clear without checking. Anyway, it has been clear in my heart for a long time. The eldest prince sighed gently, shook his head slightly and didn't answer. The fifth prince shook the folding fan impatiently and closed it, and tilted his eyes. The fourth prince said hatefully, "Just like him, do you also want to learn from your father? Don't look in the mirror to see what your virtue is! Humph, is it true that others are all fools at his mercy? What is it! I have never convinced him!"

"You think too much," the eldest prince advised, "Our brother is no better than Dad at that time. Besides, what can he do? There is no clue that you think so. This is a injustice.

"Ha!" The fifth prince smiled: "The eldest brother is loyal and never thinks of people badly. You are also for my good. I know, I know it in my heart. OK, I know. This matter has only been calculated, and I won't mention it from now on."

"Well, the former father talked about our brother again, saying that you and the sixth brother can't share his worries. If the sixth brother doesn't mention it, he is still young. What about you, are you still going to be so idle?" The eldest prince changed the topic, and the fifth prince patted his head with a folding fan in distress: "I've been thinking about this these days. It's time to get this order. I have to share my father's worries, but also for the eldest brother's worries. The eldest brother helped me out with advice. What do you think I should get?"

The eldest prince's eyes flashed and gently raised his hand and patted the fifth prince's shoulder and said, "I'm relieved that you can think so. You have never received any ervoys. As long as you do it well, there is nothing bad. Besides, how can you pick and choose your father's temper?"

"That's the same," the fifth prince smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I plan to take good care of you and share your worries for your father. No matter what your father sends, I will try my best to give the eldest brother a long face. Anyway, there is a big brother. If there is a big brother, I will go to find the eldest brother for advice and rely on the eldest brother. Is it good to enjoy the cold? In the end, the fifth prince showed his usual tired appearance. The eldest prince smiled very gently and said helplessly, "You, everything is fine. It's this lazy word. What does this tired look make people say?"

"My ambition since I was a child is to be lazy all my life. Do people have their own aspirations? The eldest brother looked at the dancer in red in the middle, the same dance steps, and she was more enchanting than others. She is Lao Yang's daughter. Her origin in this family is different..." The interest of the fifth prince quickly turned to the dancer in front of him, and the eldest prince swept the red. The dancer looked at it and shook her head with a smile. The two talked casually and talked about this year's official examination. The eldest prince seemed to have just remembered, took a look at the fifth prince, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Xiaozu has excellent merit in this year's examination. There are two excellent building store affairs, which is rare."

The fifth prince's face changed slightly and took a deep breath and said, "How long has it been since Li Xiaozu entered the building? Is his mind clear? You also said that I wronged him!" The fifth prince took a deep breath, patted his chest with a folding fan, and tried to suppress the angry anger and said, "The clay man is still three-point earthy. The rabbit bites people when he is anxious. Look, I don't believe I will die in front of him!" The eldest prince couldn't help coughing when he heard the last harsh words, looked left and right and whispered, "Look at you, what are you talking about? Li Xiaozu is close to you, and it is human to take care of you.

"I just think so. Let him do it. You're welcome!" The fifth prince gritted his teeth and said hatefully, and the eldest prince said a few more words before he turned it up.

The prince and the princess are not in the house, and the atmosphere of the east courtyard is suddenly much more relaxed. Although the prince has come here since the establishment of the east courtyard and stayed for a quarter of an hour. The princess has not only never been here, but also hasn't said a word, let alone care about it, but as long as she knows that she is in the west courtyard and in this house, The east courtyard started from the red sleeves, but it was restrained, as if the princess could hear it with a little louder.

This is easy and lively. The girl in the East Courtyard asked me and asked me to go to the back garden together. I have long heard that this royal garden is better than the house. A group of little maids have long wanted to go shopping, and they will naturally not let go of the opportunity.

Yu Lian glanced at the red sleeve. Seeing that she did not go out, she also found an excuse to stay in the east courtyard. When everyone went out of the courtyard door, they took half a tea cake, and then casually looked for a needlework to talk to the red sleeve.

Red sleeves were hanging their heads and embroidered with peace and wealth. Hearing the knock on the door, they saw that it was Yulian and hesitated to let her in. Yulian didn't seem to see Hongxiu's hesitation at all. She raised the tea cake in her hand with a smile and said, "Yesterday, my mother asked someone to send me half of the tea cake. A person was boring. After thinking about it, my sister is an elegant person. I happened to be free today, so I came to find my sister to taste tea." With that, without waiting for Hongxiu to answer, he waved his hand and smiled, "Sister, sit down quickly. I don't need my sister's help. I've learned to order tea. Just tell me where the tea sets are."

Hongxiu got up and found the tea set. Yulian sat on the kang and ordered two cups of tea skillfully. First, she held a cup and handed it to Hongxiu and said, "Sister, try it." Hongxiu took over and smelled it first: "It's really a good tea."

"I said that my sister must be an elegant person who knows goods." Yulian found a bosom friend with surprise, joy and laughter. The two drank a few cups of tea, and then Yulian gradually turned to the topic: "...The princess is really beautiful. No wonder the prince is so in love with the princess."

"This is not what we should say." Hongxiu interrupted Yulian's words and gave a serious warning. Yulian hurriedly smiled and said, "I just told my sister. To be honest, when I first saw my sister, I felt that my sister was very amiable. I looked at you as my own sister in my heart. My sister is all for my good. I dare no longer. Sister, don't worry." Yulian admitted her mistake very quickly: "... My sister is a real person. I know at a glance that she is not malicious. There is one thing. Yulian wants to ask her sister to help her make an idea."

Hongxiu only dared not to hear whether it was possible. This Yulian seemed to have a lot of heart and nowhere to put it. Yulian frowned and sighed, "To tell you the truth, my mother didn't intend to let me work in this house, just because my brother-in-law and Mother Qiao's eldest son could talk, and Mother Qiao happened to send it again. My mother was moved by the stewmerin-chief of this house. She thought that Mother Qiao was the stewmer in charge and asked her to find me a lot of money. The prince has always been famous and generous. In the past two years, she may be able to earn half of the dowry. Just because of this, I entered the house. "

Yu Lian said while carefully looking at Hongxiu. Seeing her attentiveness, she sighed a few times and then said, "Who knows that Mother Qiao has thought too much, and I don't know where she wants to go. She gave birth to those things before, which scared me so much that I didn't sleep well all night. I was so worried, Hongxiu Sister, what do you think I should do? Should I ask someone to go out again, or... Well, I don't know, my family has spent 20 taels of silver for this job. If it hadn't been for these 20 taels of silver, I would have gone home early, but now if I had gone home like this, the 20 taels of money would have been wasted. It't be easy for my parents to make money. Alas, sister Sister, what should I do?

Hongxiu looked carefully at Yulian's expectant eyes and turned seven or eight times before saying, "Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount. It is said that the prince is generous. I really don't know what the great method is. However, although the prince is cold-temper, he is a good servant and wears clothes. He is not very picky, but he used to rare to eat in the palace, even for breakfast, and most of them went out to eat. Now he doesn't even have a small kitchen in this east courtyard.

Yu Lian looked at Hongxiu. Hongxiu looked at her and continued, "Looking from the prince's former temper, the difference in the east courtyard can really be regarded as easy and decent. You are all first-class maids with two taels of silver a month, and a lot of money is enough. If you were in the palace in the past, plus the silk, gold and silver rewarded for the festival You can earn 30 or 40 taels of silver a year, but this is the prince's palace of Jin'an. I don't know the rules of the princess, but I thought, no matter what, there is always thirty taels a year. You can do it here for a year or two, and you can embroider dowry or something when you are free.

"Sister, does that mean that the prince won't come to this courtyard? Isn't this the prince's study? Then where does he go to read and write? Yulian didn't expect to ask such a result. She couldn't help but be surprised. Hongxiu looked at her and said with a smile, "It's not impossible. The prince loves to play everywhere. It used to be like this in the palace. He left early in the morning and came back very late to say something disrespectful, that is, to come back to sleep. That is also a rule in the palace without the permission of the official. Princes are not allowed to spend the night outside. As for the study without a study, do you see if there are any books in our courtyard? The prince doesn't like reading and writing.

Yulian's heart was almost cold to the bottom, and she couldn't speak for a long time when she looked at the red sleeve.
