Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 24 Princess Boling Xiao Yan

Snowflakes like catkins were flying in the sky, and the lanterns and red silk in the pavilion of the princess's mansion were all white.

There were countless guests drinking and drinking tea with Xue under the eaves of the surrounding corridors. Some people stood up and saluted Lang Zhuo, but Lang Zhuo turned a blind eye or nodded slightly.

No matter how noisy the courtyard was, Lang Zhuo's steps never stopped, and he hurriedly walked to the back hall, like a fast-moving shadow, shuttling in the corridor.

Bei Sheng followed closely behind him, his heartbeat and footsteps intertwined in harmony. He lowered his head without squinting, and just walked in Lang Zhuo's footsteps.

In front of the door of Trillium Hall, Lang Zhuo suddenly stopped and turned around suddenly. Beisheng only blindly followed his footsteps. Before he could react, his forehead hit the soft cloak on his chest hard. , the snow on the fluff stuck to Beisheng's forehead, melted instantly and turned into crystal water droplets.

The governor glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and went in silently to report.

Bei Sheng rubbed his painful forehead and apologized quickly, "Sir, I'm sorry. The student just walked with his head down and didn't notice that the adults stopped."

She had been running with Zhao Shu for a while, and now she bumped into Lang Zhuo's body again. The beaded flower on her head fell into the snow without noticing it.

Lang Zhuo looked at her gently, and as their eyes intertwined, time stood still for a moment.

Lang Zhuo said: "I want to tell you that the eldest princess is a very kind person. Don't be reserved when you go in. Don't refuse what she gives you, just take it. If she asks you, just answer the truth. The eldest princess will like you." of."

Beisheng nodded silently as he listened.

Of course, the eldest princess is a very kind person. She knows this better than anyone else. The eldest princess is mainly domineering, so why would she watch others bully Xiao Xu!
  But what did Lang Zhuo mean by saying this to her?

Now there is no need to choose a princess for the prince, and there is no need to learn from the eldest princess's side. Why should the eldest princess like her?

Before Bei Sheng had time to think about it, the palace official had already come out. He raised his hands to Lang Zhuo and said, "The eldest princess is already waiting for Sir Lang. Just go in."

"Thank you very much." Lang Zhuo bowed his hands to the palace official and walked up to the steps of Trillium Palace with his clothes in hand.

Beisheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

The smoke in the hall is misty and warm as spring.

Bei Sheng sighed with emotion in his heart, not daring to look around, and knelt down behind Lang Zhuo.

Lang Zhuo fell on the ground and said respectfully: "My lord, Lang Zhuo, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and wishes Her Royal Highness a happy birthday and good health forever."

Beisheng also hurriedly followed and said, "Xu Beisheng, the daughter of Duke An Guo, has met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and wishes her good health and everlasting happiness."

The eldest princess looked kind and asked softly: "Is this Mr. Lang's new student? Didn't you mean that Prince Zhao is also attending the class? Why is she the only one here?"

The eldest princess's voice was very gentle and pleasant. Bei Sheng knelt down, as if he had gone back to the days when he was studying female beauty in Caga Palace, and the eldest princess also spoke so gently.

Lang Zhuo said: "To return to the princess, Prince Gaoyang Hou is here today. He has to go back because of something unexpected. Therefore, I only brought Beisheng with me."

The eldest princess looked at Bei Sheng lying on the ground and smiled, "Everyone, please get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." The two of them thanked the eldest princess in unison.

I learned court etiquette in my previous life and never forgot it in this life. Bei Sheng was even more respectful than Lang Zhuo. After Lang Zhuo stood up and sat down, Bei Sheng slowly sat down on the stool beside Lang Zhuo.

The maid brought tea and snacks, and the eldest princess said: "Master Lang likes the hibiscus cake in my house very much. Beisheng also tries it to see if it suits your taste. It is made from lotus petals picked in the summer last year."

Hibiscus cake? The eldest princess is actually willing to feed them?
  I still remember a time in my previous life, when Xiao Xu came to Saga Palace. Because he missed lunch and took a piece of hibiscus cake from the kitchen, he was scolded by the eldest princess gently.

Bei Sheng remembered correctly, he was being lectured in a gentle voice, but Xiao Xu seemed to have committed a heinous crime, and he actually listened with his hands down, holding up the piece of hibiscus cake, and was at a loss what to do.

Hibiscus cake, as its name suggests, has lifelike petals and lotus leaves. When placed on the bowl, it really looks like a tall tree standing on the surface of a lake.

Rather than saying it is a snack, it is more like a handicraft carved from pastry.

What Bei Sheng didn't understand was that delicate things were not as important as people. Besides, they were meant to be cooked and eaten, so why couldn't Xiao Xu use them?

Thinking of Xiao Xu's experience, Beisheng was unmoved by the cakes in front of him.

Lang Zhuo picked up a piece, looked at it, smiled, "Pastry is difficult to make, princess, don't work too hard."

The eldest princess said calmly: "There is no hard work. I have nothing to do, so I will make some cakes and entertain the guests."

Inviting guests? But at the banquet just now, Beisheng didn't see the hibiscus cake. “Miss Beisheng, why don’t you move? Do you think the pastry is not well made?”

Being suddenly called upon by the eldest princess, Beisheng quickly recovered from his daze, carefully picked up a piece and took a small taste.

She said respectfully: "Beisheng thanks Her Royal Highness the Princess for the reward."

She barely finished one piece and didn't move again. This cake is beautiful and delicious, but because of Xiao Xu's incident, I feel choked in my heart after eating it.

Lang Zhuo ate two pieces with tea. The eldest princess also asked the maid to pack some more into boxes for Lang Zhuo to take back to the house to eat later.

The eldest princess blew the tea leaves in the cup and asked carefully: "Master Lang has a talent for managing the world. What books do you usually teach you to read?"

Beisheng said: "As for the eldest princess, Mr. Lang will teach you all the famous chapters in the Classics and History."

The eldest princess smiled gently, "The girl's family doesn't have to take exams or be an official. It's just a matter of studying and learning some principles of life in private. Women still need to have skills to deal with things and be able to support themselves without relying on men."

Yes, the eldest princess's female beauty has always been praised, but because of her status as a princess, she can't do whatever she wants, and can only live a monthly life with the salary from the palace, which is indeed a lot boring.

The eldest princess then said to Lang Zhuo: "Master Lang, when teaching with them, also talk more about the vast things outside. Don't just stare at books and make your students pedantic."

Lang Zhuo stood up and held his hands in his hands, "I would like to follow His Highness's teachings."

The eldest princess looked at Bei Sheng again, "Miss Xu Er grew up outside, so she must know more than the girls in Beijing. Did your adoptive father and adoptive mother teach you anything?"

Beisheng hesitated for a moment, "Returning to the eldest princess, my daughter's adoptive father and mother are ordinary people and have never taught my daughter anything."

Lang Zhuo frowned and said: "Second Miss Xu didn't have the conditions to learn before. Now that she's in the capital, I don't know anything else, but I can also teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Thank you, Mr. Lang."

The eldest princess stared at Lang Zhuo and smiled imperceptibly, "Besides the prince, this is the first time that Mr. Lang has brought a student to my residence. I don't have any other meeting gifts to give. I can give you this bracelet, so I'll give it to you." Miss Xu Er, I hope you will study hard and not let down the expectations of Mr. and Mrs. An Guo and Mr. Lang."

The eldest princess took off a translucent jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to her maid.

Bei Sheng looked at Lang Zhuo hesitantly, and Lang Zhuo drank tea calmly without any reaction.

Luliang's bracelet has been handed to Bei Sheng. Although Lang Zhuo had told her not to refuse the eldest princess's gift, as the saying goes, there is something wrong with accepting this gift.

Seeing her hesitation, the maidservant whispered: "This is the wish of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please accept it, girl."

Bei Sheng had no choice but to raise her hands to receive it, but the maid put the jade bracelet on her right wrist with a smile.

Beisheng bowed to the ground again and saluted, "Beisheng thanks His Highness for the reward."

The eldest princess added: "She looks lovely, behaves well and is cautious. Such a girl is rare. Master Lang must teach her well."

"Yes. I would like to comply." Lang Zhuo stood up, lowered his eyes and cupped his hands, "I still have something to do in my house, so I will not attend the banquet. I will excuse you."

Beisheng hurriedly followed, "I also want to retire."

"Go."

Just at this time, the palace official at the door came to report, "Your Highness, the young master is coming to pay his respects to Your Highness."

The eldest princess suppressed a smile and said calmly: "There are many guests in the front yard, so I asked him to entertain the guests well. He doesn't have to wait on me here."

"Yes."

The Fu Ding withdrew angrily.

When Lang Zhuo and Bei Sheng came out, Xiao Xu was standing outside the door. He glanced at the food box in Lang Zhuo's hand, cupped his hands and lowered his eyes: "Master Lang."

"Yes." Lang Zhuo nodded to him, then picked up his clothes and walked down the steps.

Today was a lively day, but there was no trace of joy on Xiao Xu's face. He even looked disappointed. When he met Bei Sheng's eyes, he reluctantly smiled at her.

　Xiao Xu: Why can Lang Zhuo take away the hibiscus cake that I can’t eat in a food box?
