Chapter 148 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (3)
For two years, the three maids who fostered the Fifth Princess Li Handan taught her with trepidation, fearing that they would say something too harsh and make the princess cry.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Before the training began, the chief eunuch beside the emperor told them very clearly that the Fifth Princess was always accompanied by secret guards, and if she suffered any injustice, they would know about it.
Fortunately, Li Handan was naturally intelligent and well-behaved, and she could basically learn what they taught her quickly. Of course, they did not dare to correct her when she called Emperor Zhaohui "Daddy".
However, as she grew older, the fifth princess became more sensible. Except in Chenyou Palace or when she was alone with the emperor, she always called Emperor Zhaohui "Father".
It is worth mentioning that since the last time, whenever the wife of Duke Anguo entered the palace, she basically only brought the second son Chu Yuxuan with her, and rarely let Chu Yuhe enter the palace, especially not long ago, after he turned ten years old and was officially canonized as the eldest son of Duke Anguo.
The Queen also knew that the Duchess was reducing the contact between her eldest son and the royal princess, and she had obviously made up her mind to let her second son come for marriage.
In fact, as long as her daughter could marry into the Duke's Mansion, the Queen didn't care which legitimate son it was.
But now it seems that his daughter, the third princess, and the second legitimate son, Chu Yuxuan, do not get along well. They often start quarreling after just a few words when they meet.
After a long time, Chu Yuxuan basically paid his respects to the Queen after arriving at the palace, and then ran to Chenyou Palace. Lady Anguo also talked to her son several times, but it didn't work, so she was too lazy to care.
In fact, they are all princesses. It is too early to say who Chu Yuxuan will marry when he grows up. Besides, it is not a good thing to always quarrel with the princesses. You never know when trouble will arise.
But Lady Anguogong's wife Xu Ruoxi was also very worried. The third princess and her second son were always quarreling, but every time the eldest son Chu Yuhe entered the palace, she would follow him and talk and laugh with him.
No one knows a child better than his mother. She could see that her eldest son was just being polite in his response to the third princess, and in his heart he probably didn't want to get entangled with her, but the third princess couldn't see it, so she could only try her best to keep her eldest son from entering the palace as much as possible.
Chu Yuhe was also very depressed. He had few opportunities to enter the palace, and the chance of seeing the fifth princess Li Handan was not high. Sometimes he had a rare chance to follow his brother to Chenyou Palace, and the third princess followed him everywhere, and he couldn't drive her away openly.
Compared to his brother's distress, Chu Yuxuan is very happy!
Because ever since he began to quarrel frequently with the Third Princess, he could now openly go to Chenyou Palace to play with the Fifth Princess.
Yuhuan is much easier to get along with than the third princess, and she often has a lot of rare things.
The snacks that are not available elsewhere are available at Chenyou Palace, and the popular snacks outside are also available here. A wide variety of imported items fill the antique shelves in the side hall.
His favorite thing was a thing called "Clairvoyance" (monocular telescope), which he had seen in his father's study, but his father was very stingy and would not let him touch it.
What a cheapskate.
Yuhuan's "clairvoyance" is much more precious than her father's. Although the distance they can see is about the same, the entire "clairvoyance" is inlaid with many precious gems and has a handle made of gold that can be held.
When he saw this "clairvoyance" for the first time, he almost didn't recognize it. Later, Yuhuan told him that she used it to observe the emperor. Only then did he realize that this was also a "clairvoyance".
"Brother, if you stand in the warm room and look down, you can see our father!" The fifth princess Li Handan gave her seat to Chu Yuxuan, then she took out an object from a box, twisted it gently with her hand, and let it go out of the window.
I saw red smoke suddenly appear in the sky. It was not very big but very conspicuous.
The Emperor Zhaohui that Chu Yuxuan saw through his "clairvoyance" suddenly looked up from the pile of memorials and waved in his direction.
"Brother, did you see the emperor waving at you?" Li Handan asked Chu Yuxuan with a smile, "This is a little game between the emperor and me, but we can't play it often. This box of signal smoke is enough for a year.
Sometimes when my father is busy and has no time to accompany me, he will also send me signal smoke, but the color is different and the meaning is also different. "
"The emperor really loves you, Yuhuan." Chu Yuxuan said with emotion, "The third princess said that she can only see the emperor twice a month, and that's when the emperor goes to the queen's palace, but you can see the emperor often."
"Yes! That's why I like my father very much!" Li Handan said affirmatively, "After my mother passed away, my father was the only one left. He said he would always be with me.
Brother, can you always stay with me?"
"I may not be able to visit you often in the future." Chu Yuxuan was a little depressed. He thought that he was already seven years old and would soon be going to school. "I will be going to school soon, and I can only rest during the day off."
"Oh! Okay!" Li Handan was also a little sad, "Brother, I will miss you."
