In the midday sun, as I stroked the child in my womb, I would often think that when I was pregnant with Xizhi, she always seemed to be by my side to take care of me.

But in just a few short years, everything has changed.

Xizhi has long been able to speak, and will call my mother when she sees me all day long.

Every time I see Xizhi with her white and fat little hands, rushing towards my arms, no matter how much unhappiness I feel in my heart due to various reasons, it will disappear in an instant.

Yijing smiled and hugged Xizhi who was on my body, "My dear son, don't make trouble with your mother, okay?"

Xizhi likes Yijing very much, and often takes Yijing to play with him.After listening to Jing's words, Xizhi turned her big eyes and looked at me, "Mother has a little brother, don't you like Xizhi?"

I was the same, and I was stunned when I heard Xizhi's words.

Immediately, I opened my arms, took Xizhi from Yijing's arms, and asked him to sit beside me.

I held Xizhi's little hand and asked, "Who told you that mother doesn't like you?"

After hearing what I said, Xizhi thought for a while and said, "It's Ping'er. She said that her mother doesn't like Xizhi when she has a younger brother. Only Ping'er has always been kind to Xizhi."

Xizhi is only about two years old now, so naturally he has something to say.

After listening to Xizhi's words, I took a look.

Yijing turned around and asked the nurse standing beside her, "Who is Ping'er?"

The wet nurse thought for a while and said, "Ping'er is the daughter of Mrs. Li in the backyard."

After hearing what the wet nurse said, I was a little displeased and said: "Who does the prince get along with on weekdays, as the nurse of the prince, shouldn't you think more about it?"

Hearing my words, the wet nurse immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I am negligent, I hope the princess will forgive me, and I will be more careful in the future."

I shook my head helplessly, "Take the prince back first."

The nurse was ordered to carry Xizhi back to the side hall.

I sighed softly and asked Yijing, "Who is that Ping'er?"

At such a young age, Xizhi will believe what other people say, but this Ping'er said those words at this time, if Xizhi takes it seriously, then don't be alienated from my own mother in the future.

These days, there have been various disturbances in the court, but now that I think about it, I was negligent in taking care of Xizhi, and I don't even know who Xizhi gets along with on weekdays.

Yijing replied: "Mr. Li is a woman who cleans the backyard. She has been in the mansion for more than three years. Her daughter Ping'er entered the mansion last year. She also does laundry, but somehow she met the eldest son." .”

I was a little impatient when I heard this, so I waved my hand and said, "Order someone to investigate, if there is nothing suspicious, I will send it away early."

Yijing answered in a low voice, "Yes."

Then she went on to say: "Princess, this servant is thinking that the reason why the son is getting close to Na Ping'er may be because Na Ping'er is young and can play together with the son. The son is just playing around now. Age, if you don't find a few schoolboys to accompany your son, how about the princess?"

I heard what Yijing said, and immediately felt that this is feasible, so I smiled, "It should be like this. After half a year, I should also invite a master. Now I am looking for a few children of similar age to go with me. With him alone, we can have all kinds of things, and we can practice together in the future."

Yijing nodded, "That's exactly the reason, but I don't know what happened to the children of other families."

I turned to smile and said, "Let Fu Sheng handle this matter."

The matter of finding a book boy for Xi Zhi was left to Fu Sheng.

Two days later, Yun Sheng brought a roster, most of which were the names of officials from the court, or officials from my Yuzhou prefecture, and information about their children.

I flipped through the roster page by page, and saw that most of them were new officials who took office in recent years.

Naturally, most of them are supporting the Hua Wuyan faction.

If it is said to be a royal bookboy, everyone naturally hopes to be a prince's bookboy. If the prince ascends the throne one day in the future, then these childhood affections should not be underestimated.

But my status and identity in Kyoto is naturally different from other princesses, so my status as Xizhi is naturally different from that of ordinary princes.

So when people learned that I wanted to choose a book boy for my pity, more people asked for it on their own.

I picked up the writing brush on the side, circled the names of several people, and handed the roster to Fu Sheng and said: "Go and make arrangements, and bring the young masters of these people to the princess's mansion for a look."

Fu Sheng glanced at the people I circled, but asked me: "Princess, this Lu Xin is from the Lu family."

I smiled and nodded, naturally knowing what Fusheng was worried about, I smiled and said to Yunsheng: "Although this Lu Xin is a member of the Lu family, he has not been in the court for a long time, and has always had some opinions on the Lu family's monopoly, so... "

I didn't finish my words, but Fu Sheng understood, and continued: "So the princess wants to take this Lu Xin for her own use?"

I nodded, "Although I have this idea, it's still just an idea after all, and I'll know when I see his attitude."

After hearing what I said, Fusheng was still a little worried; "Princess, I'm not afraid that Lu Xin will surrender on the surface, but secretly..."

At this point, I naturally thought: "If it's really what you worry about, it's okay. It's better to put it in the open, but it's better than hiding in the dark. It's hard to find out. It's better to use strength, but I don't know what will happen in the end." On whom does the power fall."

After hearing what I said, Fusheng was relieved and turned to deal with this matter.

When Hua Wuyan came back at night, I told him about the candidates I had chosen, as well as Lu Xin.

Hua Wuyan always understood my thoughts, when I said Lu Xin's name, he then said my thoughts and thoughts.

Then he got his approval: "Lu Xin has some talents, but since he entered the court, he has been suppressed by Lu Mingdao and cannot make a big show, and Lu Xin and the officials of the Lu family are not very close. , what Qinger thinks, is very likely to be realized.

If Lu Xin can be pulled out of the Lu family and used by us, it will definitely be of some use. "

The children I selected were all the sons of serving officials in Kyoto, so they were nearby. On the second day, Fusheng found these four children, but in the end, according to the regulations, only two could be left behind.

The four children are all about the same age as Xizhi, only Lu Xin's son is three years older than Xizhi.

I led Xizhi's little hand forward.

The children greeted each other politely: "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Ruyi, and I have seen His Royal Highness."

I smiled gently and said softly, "Get up."

The children seemed a little nervous, holding their little hands tightly so they dared not look at me.

I looked at Lu Xin's son who was standing on the side, he looked quite stable at a young age.

I can't help but like it very much.

I waved to him and called him to my side.

I saw that he was a small man, walking quickly and neatly, and he bowed again: "I don't know what orders Her Royal Highness has."

Looking at his young adult appearance, I couldn't help asking with a smile: "What's your name?"

Back to Princess Ruyi's words: "Lu Zhen."

"Lu Zhen?" I asked.

The little man Lu Zhen nodded: "Yes."

I smiled and asked him again: "Your father is Master Lu Xinlu."

Lu Zhen was still humble and respectful, clasping his fists and replying like a little adult: "Exactly."
