Lonely non-good minister

She was really afraid of Song Chun, who was always thinking about getting her married, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep well at night.

For this reason, Song Yuan did not even dare to pass by the gate of the East Palace for several days. He chose a sunny day and took a dozen nieces and nephews to the school grounds.

She had asked Empress Shen and Song Chun for permission a few days before she wanted to come to the school grounds. She also said hello to each family in advance. The stewards of the school grounds had made sufficient arrangements for this. Knowing that these royal grandchildren were still very young, they even gave them The horses provided were all docile and smaller mares, and docile deer and lambs were also prepared for them to drive and play with.

The tea and fruit snacks they ate were carefully prepared and delivered directly from the imperial dining room early in the morning. After carefully testing the poison, the dishes were placed on the table. Empress Shen also gave permission to move them out of fear that they might get a heat stroke from playing. Come out and prepare some ice cubes.

Although their parents did not follow them, more than a dozen children were surrounded by guards and mothers. It was rare for them to be away from the control of their parents. Several half-year-old children who had just learned to ride horses couldn't help but want to try their skills and were carried on the horse. Although he was frightened behind him, he still managed to drive the horse for a leisurely stroll, with his personal guards following him to protect him.

Although Song Wei and Song Ce were older and more stable, they sat aside obediently. Although they were eager to give it a try, they couldn't bear to mess around with a group of younger brothers. They didn't meet many times on weekdays, so they were really reserved now. I would say a few words from time to time, but the topic would never continue.

"It's a rare opportunity to have fun. Don't just sit here. Don't you like horse riding, archery, and Cuju? You stay in the study room and read every day. Now even rolling on the grass is fun." Song Yuan sat leisurely under the pavilion, leisurely watching several young nieces playing sepak takraw.

The Wei Dynasty has a lot of restrictions on women. If there are children from other families today, these little nieces will not have the opportunity to go out. Several little girls of similar age gather together. This is very rare for them, although they cannot be like boys. Being wild also made them excited.

They only played around with sepak takraw. Even so, the nuns around them always said something about being steady and quiet, which was very disappointing.

Song Yuan couldn't stand it, but couldn't interrupt.

"Uncle Jiu." A young girl with a pink and fair face came over and tugged on Song Yuan's sleeves with a displeased look on her face: "Can you drive grandma out? It's so long-winded, it makes my ears hurt when I read it."

The grandma who followed her looked helpless and stood under the pavilion and whispered softly: "Princess, even if you are out to have fun, you can't loosen the rules."

"Don't listen." The little girl lay on Song Yuan's back, not only burying her face, but also covering her ears. Seeing this, the grandma hurriedly came over to help her.

Song Yuan raised his hand to block it: "You are so young, it doesn't matter if you play wildly for a day. Although you follow the rules, you are not bad at it. You just watch from the side and say anything if there is anything wrong. The two sentences are that if you talk non-stop, anyone would be bored. If you get angry after such a rare day, it's not worth it."

"Yes." Grandma didn't dare to be nagging.

Song Yuan looked at them: "The seats over there are empty. You should take turns to have a rest there. Say less and just stare more. Go ahead."

After she spoke, a group of nuns who were following her dared to make arrangements, leaving only two or three smarter ones to accompany them. The others went to rest not far away, and they could enjoy the tea and fruit snacks on the table as they pleased. Although eating and drinking are comfortable, no one dares to relax.

"Okay, let's go play." Song Yuan patted the little girl lying on his back with his backhand: "If you are too hot and tired, you must tell grandma." The little girl went back happily. As soon as he complained, he sent away all the annoying nannies. He was considered a major contributor among the small circle of girls. As soon as he sat down, he was surrounded by several sisters and praised him.

"The grandmas are indeed annoying and nagging." Song Ce suddenly said: "When I was in Zhangye, there were no annoying grandmas at home. My sisters didn't care what they did. They just wanted us to be free and happy. When we returned to Jingzhao, there were so many people around us. Suddenly there were a few more nuns, and they said that the girl’s family had to understand the rules and they couldn’t even eat with us.”

Song Wei hurriedly asked: "How old are they? They are only five or six years old. As the old saying goes, seven-year-olds don't sit together at the same table. It's still early now. Can't you even see your brothers casually?"

"Mommy said that you should learn the rules as early as possible. She also said that the previous rules in Zhangye were too loose and many etiquettes were wrong. She had to learn everything from scratch. The eldest sister could no longer even play her favorite Cuju and had to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day. , I heard that the fingertips were cut by the strings." Song Ce said with great displeasure: "I don't know what to do with learning these things."

Song Wei frowned when he heard this: "That day when we had dinner at the Imperial Grandmother's Palace, the Imperial Grandmother praised them for being naive and romantic. Now she says that the rules are inappropriate. Who do you want to slap in the face?"

Song Ce looked at him, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Song Yuan understood that the nanny who taught the rules was arranged by Queen Shen. Otherwise, how could these nannies have the courage to do this? No matter how strict they are, they shouldn't be so difficult for two five or six-year-old girls?Moreover, what does it mean that many etiquettes are wrong?The second sister-in-law comes from a scholarly family, how could she be wrong about etiquette?These words were clearly an accusation against the second sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law is thin-skinned. In the past ten years, Emperor Hong Ming and Empress Shen have done their best to show respect for her. She must not break up with Empress Shen because of these things. The second brother has been busy recently, I'm afraid... I don’t know this, otherwise it would cause trouble again.

"Have Uncle Jiu and the little aunts not played together since they were children?" Song Wei suddenly asked.

Song Yuan nodded: "I don't have much interaction with them. Although we are all in the palace, we go to school and study separately. We can't speak more than ten words all year round. When have you seen me playing with them?"

"I thought it was because my aunts disliked me for being noisy, so they never interacted with me. I didn't expect Uncle Nine to interact with them either." Song Wei looked at Song Ce with a complicated expression. After speaking, he looked at Song Ce: "Fortunately, you still have brothers to play with. If I only have a younger sister, wouldn't it be similar to the life of an only child like me, who can't even find anyone to play with?"

Song Ce was surprised by what he said. Growing up in the northwest, he couldn't understand the rule that these brothers and sisters couldn't play together.

"Fortunately, we are not little girls, otherwise our life would be too boring. Being trapped at home before getting married, and being trapped in the back house after getting married, is there any difference between being in jail and confinement?" Song Wei murmured in a low voice: "If I were married, My sister must not allow these rules to restrict her."

These words made Song Ce's ears feel hot. He mistakenly thought that Song Wei was connoting himself, and became even more reluctant to speak.

"Your Highness." The guard came to the front and whispered in a low voice: "The palace has just sent a decree for all your highnesses and princesses to enter the palace to pay their respects."
