Chapter 485 Yeah, listen to my sophistry
The next day, as soon as the elders entered the imperial study, they found two more potted flowers in the room.
The gaudy round basin is incompatible with the solemn and elegant imperial study.
Yuan Xiang understood it at a glance, and picked up the topic with a smile: "Is the emperor going to grow flowers?"
Emperor Ming Pei said calmly: "It's not that I want to raise it, it's that Xinbao heard people say that the Spring Dragon Festival will plant spring to pray for blessings, so he insisted on sending me two pots."
The elders of the pavilion knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs. Of course, they praised the little princess for her filial piety, and some people asked: "I don't know what flower it is?"
Emperor Ming Pei smiled and said: "I don't know, Xinbao said that he will give me a surprise when it opens."
After the emperor showed off like this, everyone knew about it. Everyone also remembered that the little princess likes grass and trees. Seeing that spring is coming, those who have gardens at home, each find a way to pass on the message, and they look forward to the little princess going to their house to have a look.
Two days later, when Xinbao went to Qianqing Palace, it was Wang Ronggui who came to give her a lecture.
Among her gentlemen, Gan Baibi came the most, Cheng Fuju also came here occasionally, and the one who came the least was Wang Ronggui, Minister of the Ministry of War.
But Gan Baibi has always been extremely polite, even somewhat restrained, while Wang Ronggui is the most open one.
His grandfather is the king of Wenxin County. He is the eldest grandson of the family. Dui, he is very good at coaxing children, and he can speak freely. Xinbao quite likes him.
He said to Xinbao: "Your Highness, my grandmother has always loved flowers since she was young. She built a farm on the outskirts of the city, planted flowers and trees, seldom pruned, and left to nature. She named it Wuzhi Garden. Seeing from others In my eyes, it may be difficult to enter the elegant hall, but I heard that your highness doesn't care about whether it is beautiful or famous, but likes to collect rare plants and trees in the world, so I think, maybe I won't disappoint my highness. I don't know if my highness can Would you like to see it?"
Xinbao was very interested: "Is it big?"
"It's not too big," Wang Ronggui said, "less than thirty mu."
Xinbao asked: "Is it far away?"
"Not far," Wang Ronggui said, "In the north, leave the palace from Shenwu Gate, and the carriage will arrive in about two hours."
Xinbao asked again: "Is the grass green now?"
Wang Ronggui said: "It is said that the winter jasmine has bloomed and the grass has turned green, but there are no other flowers yet."
"Oh!" Xinbao said: "But Yeye said that you can't leave the palace until the fifteenth day, so you are not allowed to go now."
She looked at him cutely with big eyes, and Wang Ronggui let out a laugh: "Your Highness, the emperor is yours, you can't even tell me, so don't count on me, I really don't have the ability, Mainly because I don’t have the guts.”
All right. Tuanzi said: "After fifteen, Xinbao will go to ask Yeye."
Wang Ronggui smiled and said: "The minister told grandma to sweep the couch to welcome her."
"Don't don't, don't sweep first," Tuanzi said: "What if at that time Yeye said, 'It's too far away! The nearby gardens haven't been finished yet, why go so far away!'" She imitated Emperor Ming Pei , The study is lifelike, and the small eyes are still twitching, "Then Xinbao won't be able to go, so don't scan it yet."
Wang Ronggui was so cute, he couldn't help breathing in, and suppressed a smile: "Okay, I understand."
Xinbao continued to practice calligraphy, while asking: "Your grandmother, does she like all kinds of flowers?"
Wang Ronggui saw what the child meant, because he wanted to hear gossip, so he said: "When my grandmother was in her boudoir, she had a habit of wearing flowers on her hair. Later, my grandfather planted a small garden for her, and every day I brought flowers for her to wear. Later, the grandfather of the minister retired, and the old couple felt that the house was too small, so the grandfather simply took the grandmother to live in Zhuangzi. He planted some flowers, because it was only for wearing, so he also I don't care much about the scenery, after more than ten years, the garden is full of flowers, but there are flowers but no scenery. On the contrary, it is the garden at home, because the family is not elegant, and it is carelessly taken care of, and it will gradually fail."
So Wang Ronggui found another way to say: "When my grandmother was at home, I often gave my minister hairpin flowers. At that time, I was young and liked it very much. I often rode a bamboo horse with red flowers on my hairpin. My father often talked about it. Later, when the sisters in the family went there, my grandmother asked someone to comb their hair, and all the hairpins came out. They were really beautiful..."
Xinbao listened so intently that he almost forgot to write.
So when Emperor Ming Pei checked his homework at noon, hehe.
Xinbao originally copied Wei Guogong's copybook, which is a medical book, but from time to time there are words such as "Thirty Mu", "Shenwumen", "Zanhua", "Zhuangyuan Parade" and so on. You can guess what Wang Ronggui talked with her!
Emperor Ming Pei asked Tuanzi calmly: "Xinbao, did you concentrate on writing today?"
Tuanzi said without guilt: "Xinbao can concentrate now!"
"Have you spoken to someone else?"
Tuanzi thought for a while, then secretly glanced at him: "I said...a little bit."
"How many words is a little bit?"
Tuanzi blinked his eyes wide, trying to save himself: "Yeah, is it because Xinbao's writing is not very good?"
Emperor Ming Pei showed her the paper directly: "What do you say?"
Xinbao took a look and saw those words.
And it’s not just that, some half-drawn characters have been written outside the page... Tuanzi felt guilty: "Yeah, listen to my sophistry!"
Emperor Ming Pei raised his eyebrows.
Tuanzi didn't realize that he was wrong at all, pulled his sleeve, and looked at him sincerely: "Master Wang said that his family has a garden, and he wanted me to go. Xinbao only said a little bit, and the rest Master Wang said it all!"
"Oh!" Emperor Ming Pei said with a straight face: "This Wang Ronggui dares to disturb my little princess's writing, let's see how I punish him! Fang Wuyou!"
Fang Wuyou came over in response: "The servant is here!"
Emperor Ming Pei had a great time teasing his granddaughter, raised his hand and said, "You..."
Tuanzi was in a hurry, he stood up and grabbed Emperor Ming Pei's arm: "Don't, don't, yeah, don't punish Mr. Wang, Xinbao is also at fault."
Emperor Ming Pei kept a straight face on purpose: "What's wrong with Xinbao?"
Tuanzi glanced at him again: "That's... that is, although Xinbao didn't say much, but Xinbao still wanted to hear it, so he hinted that he kept talking."
Emperor Ming Pei said: "How did you hint?"
Tuanzi honestly posed for a writing posture, then raised his chin, glanced at him with small eyes, and then glanced again: "That's how it was hinted."
This little figure is too amusing, Emperor Ming Pei couldn't help laughing out loud, and then shook his forehead while smiling.
Tuanzi saw Yeye smiled, he was relieved, and snuggled up to his lap, thinking that he had passed the test.
In the end, Emperor Ming Pei finished laughing, turned his face and denied anyone, "Since you also know that you made a mistake, then make up today's writing time."
Xinbao: "..."
