The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 154 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (9)

For some reasons, Cui Zhiyuan volunteered to become the zither teacher of the fifth princess Li Handan, specializing in teaching her to play the zither.

After the third princess Li Danruo found out, she even came to attend the class. After all, she and Cui Zhiyuan were formal relatives. But after a few times, she was unwilling to come anymore.

Because Cui Zhiyuan treated her very differently, Li Danruo was two years older than Li Handan, so she had learned some knowledge about the art of playing the zither, but she was often the one who was scolded the worst.

She could see that Cui Zhiyuan really wanted her to give up.

Li Danruo also had a stubborn personality. She had originally wanted to fight with Cui Zhiyuan to the end to make him change his mind about her.

But the queen directly told her not to disturb the fifth princess's classes again.

“Liuniang, you are different from the fifth princess.” The queen said calmly, “Cui Zhiyuan only interacts with people at first sight. If he wants to teach you, when you first go to his class, he will let you follow him in the future.

But if he is always rude to you, it means that you and he are not destined to be a master and disciple."

"Mother, why is this happening? I am the legitimate princess." Li Danruo was very dissatisfied. "Is it just because of Xiaowu's face? Why?"

When the queen was about to say something, Feng Yuman, the senior palace maid beside her, brought tea and snacks to the mother and daughter: "Your Majesty, Princess, the imperial kitchen just sent over some freshly made snacks, and they are said to taste very good."

The queen nodded and said, "Liuniang, you and mother can share some!"

The third princess, Li Danruo, grew up in the Queen's palace. She certainly knew Feng Yuman's status in front of the Queen, but as she grew older, the princess's authority also rose: "Aunt Feng, my mother and I are having a private conversation! Don't interrupt us like this next time."

"Yes, I have been taught by the princess." Feng Yuman agreed with a smile.

It was another day off in the academy. The third princess Li Danruo, together with her wet nurse, brought the purse she had made herself and went to the Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Zhaohui.

"Eunuch Wang, I made a purse for my father. Please inform him that I want to give it to him personally." Li Danruo was quite polite when speaking to Wang Fuhai who was beside his father.

"Third Princess, you are really skillful." Wang Fuhai didn't see the purse, but he still praised it a few times, "It's just that the emperor is busy at the moment! You see, why don't you come back later, or just give the purse to this old servant and I will pass it on to you?"

"Father, you've worked so hard!" Li Danruo sighed admiringly, "It's okay, I'll just wait outside. I'll come into the palace when Father has time to see me."

"Then Princess Three, please follow me to the side hall!" Wang Fuhai smiled and led Li Danruo to the side hall, and ordered his eunuchs to bring tea and snacks.

After leaving the side hall, Wang Fuhai sighed and shook his head. They were both princesses, but the difference between being favored and being unfavored was like heaven and earth.

Wang Fuhai had just returned to his post when he heard a girl's laughter coming from the inner hall. There was no doubt that the girl was the fifth princess Li Handan.

"Daddy, higher, higher." The girl's voice was full of joy.

The cause of this incident was that during the Flower Festival some time ago, the fifth princess Li Handan caught a cold and was unable to go out, so she did not participate in the event.

In order to compensate her, Emperor Zhaohui had a small swing frame temporarily built in his main hall for her to swing on.

There are many silk flowers tied on the swing frame, which are almost indistinguishable from the real ones.

There are also several small copper balls hanging above the swing frame. Every time the swing swings, these hollow copper balls will slowly open, and then the petals made of silk will slowly fall.

Of course, not everyone can see such a scene. Even he, the personal eunuch of Emperor Zhaohui, can only guard the door outside for the father and daughter.

Oh! There are exceptions.

Emperor Zhaohui also summoned the palace painter and asked him to draw a picture of the fifth princess playing on the swing, and signed it as "Flower Festival Fun Picture".

The court painters were all very skilled. After taking a few glances, they began to paint. They basically did more painting than looking.

"Daddy, thank you!" After playing for a while, the fifth princess Li Handan got down from the swing. "It was originally because I was too playful and got sick that I missed the Flower Festival activities. It was Daddy who specially compensated me. It was Huanniang's fault."

"Huan Niang, it doesn't matter what Daddy does for you, but you have to take care of your body in the future." Emperor Zhaohui touched his daughter's head and said, "You have to know that once you feel unwell, you will be the one who suffers, but Daddy will also feel distressed, understand?"

"Huan Niang, I understand." Li Handan nodded, then took out a purse from her sleeve, "Dad, this is the first purse I made by learning needlework, please don't despise it."

Emperor Zhaohui looked at the bamboo pattern embroidered on the purse and said with a smile, "Niang Huan, this bamboo embroidery is quite elegant."

In fact, the bamboo is crooked and of varying thicknesses, and it is obvious that it is something used for training.
