The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 12 Entering the Palace
With the decree set, after a set of procedures was completed, the Jingbei Hou Mansion finally received the edict that Fu Yuchen had successfully entered the palace to study with him.

On the second day after receiving the imperial edict, Fu Xuechen woke up early in the morning, washed up, warmed up, had breakfast, and was ready to enter the palace.

Although the whole family of the Jingbeihou's family was rejoicing, in fact, this result is not too unexpected. Jingbeihou's calm demeanor has long been expected, and Mrs. Jingbeihou is more worried, and it is early Get up and rush around Fu Xuechen.

Fortunately, the fact is that Fu Xuechen has passed the test safely, and she did not reveal any flaws during the period, so she let go of many worries.

The time is very early, roughly equivalent to six o'clock in the morning in later generations. Fortunately, there is no electronic entertainment such as mobile phones in later generations, and there is no electric light for lighting at night. In Fu Xuechen's previous life, he didn't get enough sleep until noon and didn't think about it.

It was past half past six after finishing the work. This time, because of the coincidence of time, Jingbei Hou decided to take Fu Xuechen with him. He happened to be able to give his daughter some advice on the way to ensure that she would never make mistakes in the palace.

The gate of the palace will open at about seven o'clock, and the official court meeting will be around eight o'clock. Before that, the courtiers will first sign in at their respective yamen, and then they will go to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to chat with each other and wait for the daily meeting. Routine meetings will be held.

Fu Xuechen separated from his father after entering the palace, and went to Mingde Hall by himself. This is a side hall that was newly tidied up after entering the palace today. Between the prince's residence and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is closer to the prince's residence.

It is estimated that after 07:30, all the companions have arrived at Mingde Hall, five men and two women, a total of seven people, the little girl from the Cui family is called Cui Xiaoyue, and she really became the princess's companion.

However, the princess chose two people. Besides Cui Xiaoyue, there was another girl with a quiet temperament and a happy round face. Fu Xuechen remembered that the girl with a round face was named Xia, and her father seemed to be the right servant of the official department.

It is worse than the later middle school students who register for the first time, because they don't know where their seats are, and everyone dare not enter the school in advance, but just stand in the yard in front of the school, say hello to each other, and get familiar with each other. The little girl who was reading with her took a far corner, forming a school of her own.

After a while, when it was close to eight o'clock, Princess Zhiling was the first one to arrive. As soon as she appeared with the nuns, the air was silent, and everyone turned their eyes to her.

The little girl blushed slightly, and in the midst of the ragged "meet the princess" salutation, she hurriedly said "Excuse me", and was escorted by Cui Xiaoyue and the little girl surnamed Xia under the protection of the maids and nuns. greeted the past.

Fu Xuechen glanced at the little girls enviously. If it weren't for the princess being several years younger than her, she felt that she should have her own share of the princess reading quota. The girls' exclusive circle of noble girls, This is the circle she should hang out in.

Just as he was feeling secretly, his left arm was lightly bumped by someone. Looking back, he was a slightly fat young man with delicate features, but the smile on his face always seemed to be a bit wretched. Fu Xuechen thought about it for a few seconds before he recognized it. This is the companion of the Fifth Prince, Li Qiang, the concubine son of Duke Ning.

"This princess's companion is well chosen! Especially that little Xia girl, what do you think?" Li Qiang quietly looked at the little girls over there, and asked Fu Xuechen with a soft voice, the intimacy in her tone was like I found a fellow friend.

Fu Xuechen's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes and said: "What's the point of a young girl who hasn't grown up, this is the palace, be careful, be careful!"

Li Qiang was startled, but agreed: "You're right! It's really not worth it, she's not as good-looking as my girl."

Fu Xuechen was speechless.

The second person to arrive was the fourth prince, Yun Zhen. After another burst of untidy shouts of "meet the fourth prince", his companion, Chen Li, went up to greet him.

The fourth prince didn't speak, nor showed any expression. He just nodded to Chen Li and led him into Mingde Hall.

Immediately afterwards, the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince arrived together. After seeing the ceremony, they all joined their companions and entered the Mingde Hall.

Soon, the eldest prince Yun Yi, who hadn't shown up during the selection, also arrived. This was the first time that Fu Xuechen saw him up close, and he had never heard that the eldest prince was simple and honest before.

Only after seeing him face to face did he realize that this eldest prince is not just dull?With his dull appearance that stutters even when he speaks, maybe he is a child with meningitis sequelae or half cerebral palsy?It's no wonder that after the crowning ceremony, the Holy Majesty would send her back to school again.

The eldest prince's companion is Liu Tai, the 15-year-old second son of Li Guogong, who is unusually calm and silent. He doesn't seem to be disappointed that he was assigned as the eldest prince's companion, but just follows calmly. next to the First Prince.

Looking around in the blink of an eye, Fu Xuechen was the only one left in the yard, and even a few little girls had entered the school.

These six princes!Could it be the kind of scumbag who would be tired of studying and skipping classes?On the first day of school, you're going to be late? !

Fu Xuechen opened his eyes wide, and was just about to get angry when he saw the sixth prince, Yoon Zuo, striding into the courtyard as if in a race, chasing a sixteen or seventeen-year-old eunuch behind him, shouting "Your Highness!" Watch your step."

"I have seen..."

Fu Xuechen stepped forward, and just as he was about to be greeted, the sixth prince waved his hand: "It's almost gone! Come in with me."

Ah!You know you're going to be late, don't you?Fu Xuechen slandered, waiting for the sixth prince to pass her by, before quickly turning around and following behind him.

Maybe it will be expanded in the future when there are more princes and grandchildren, but the current study hall is not big, and is divided into front and back by a large translucent screen.

In front of the screen, there are five rows and two rows of desks and three aisles on the podium facing the teacher. Two tables and two wooden chairs are placed side by side in each row. There are only twenty seats in total.

The seats behind the screen are also divided into two rows, but there are only two rows, a total of eight seats, like a small private room, which does not affect the princess and her companions attending the class, and also takes into account the privacy that a girl should have. Even they have another back door for entering and exiting Mingde Hall, which makes Fu Xuechen secretly envious.

The four princes who came in earlier had already chosen their own seats according to their respective ages. Among them, the eldest prince and his companion occupied the seats in the front row, and the fourth prince and the fifth prince chose the second row of seats, one on the left and one on the right. , the Seventh Prince occupied the inner third row of seats.

The sixth prince glanced over, and without any hesitation, he chose the outer seat in the third row, sitting right behind the fourth prince.

Fu Xuechen didn't even have a chance to deal with the six princes first. As soon as he sat down, he saw outside the window Master Ji Zeji, a scholar of Dongge University, and Master Li Tao, a scholar of Hanlin Attendant, walking slowly together with their hands behind their backs. The sixth prince walked into the study hall with only a few feet left and right.
