Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 193 Relationship

"Mingjin, what have you learned in Shangxiang Palace? Tell your mother." Li Xihua asked the third prince Qin Mingjin in a soft voice while holding his hand.

"The Four Books and Five Classics!" The third prince Qin Mingjin raised his round face, looked at Li Xihua with excitement in his eyes and answered loudly.

There is a hint of childishness in his voice, and anyone who comes will find him adorable.

He knew this, he remembered it very well.

Li Xihua raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a suspicious look on her face, "Four Books and Five Classics? Then tell me which four books are the Four Books and which five classics are the Five Classics, okay? Do you still remember?"

The third prince Qin Mingjin rubbed his fleshy fingers and said in a tender voice: "Mother, the Four Books are The Great Learning, The Analects, Mencius, and The Doctrine of the Mean. The Five Classics are The Book of Songs, The Spring and Autumn Annals, The Book of History, The Book of Rites, and The Book of Changes."

After counting and putting down his fingers, Qin Mingjin nodded heavily to affirm himself.

"You really know that, kid?" Li Xihua muttered quietly.

She found it incredible.

When she was a child, she felt dizzy when she saw serious classics and only liked to read storybooks and strange novels. She never expected that her son, at such a young age, could talk about the Four Books and Five Classics so clearly.

It’s great that her biological son Qin Mingjin did not inherit her aversion to school.

As a prince, if he was as averse to studying as her, he would be doomed.

Although Li Xihua herself does not like to study, she is willing to admire knowledgeable people, except for her father. Her father, Li Renan, is a henpecked husband. In her opinion, he is not dignified at all and does not have the aura of a head of the family.

Just as Li Xihua was daydreaming, he paused and suddenly felt confused.

Although she did not read the Four Books and Five Classics, she still knew roughly how much content there was in them. Well, she didn't know.

Li Xihua only knew that the Four Books and Five Classics together must be at least nine books.

Here comes the point. How can a five or six-year-old child learn so much? Your Majesty should not be so crazy. This is not the way to force growth!

"Qin Mingjin, Your Highness the Third Prince, can you explain to your mother why you have to learn so much knowledge at the age of five? Can you remember it? And your eldest brother and your fourth brother, can they remember so many things?"

Li Xihua asked with a smile.

"In the first class, our teacher told us that our father hopes that we can start by reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and then learn other things after that. However, we have just started learning "The Great Learning." The third prince Qin Mingjin lowered his head shyly, touched his red cheeks, and answered crisply.

This is right!

Li Xihua nodded to herself, not caring about her son Qin Mingjin's previous exaggeration and boasting.

Being able to remember so much right after entering school and being able to recite the Four Books and Five Classics was very good in her opinion and his attitude was very serious. After all, Qin Mingjin was only five years old.

Satisfy.

However, the reason why Qin Mingjin was able to remember which books the Four Books and Five Classics were was purely because he was naughty and lost a few copies of the complete set of Four Books and Five Classics that Concubine Hui Guipin prepared for his fourth brother Qin Mingyun.

Qin Mingjin was afraid that his fourth brother Qin Mingyin would complain to their father, so he had to go to each teacher, pretending to be studious and inquisitive, pretending to be very interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and asked for a book from each teacher.

I don’t know whether the teachers really believed his lies or just let him “cheat” them into giving away the books because he was so cute.

Qin Mingjin spent a lot of effort to piece together the missing Four Books and Five Classics and gave them to his fourth brother.

Seeing that his third brother was working so hard to return his book, Qin Mingyun didn't bother with him.

Because of this, Qin Mingjin remembered which four books and five classics were among the Four Books and Five Classics.

They are all lessons of blood and tears.

Qin Mingjin puffed up her cheeks, pouted her lips, and quietly wiped away a handful of bitter tears in her heart.

He is so miserable.

"Come on, mother will take you to appreciate the flowers. This month, many flowers are blooming in the imperial garden, including peonies, crabapple blossoms, azaleas, pear blossoms, rose blossoms, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms. They are all in brilliant colors and extremely beautiful. Mother will teach you how to appreciate the flowers."

Li Xihua was holding the hand of the third prince Qin Mingjin, with a bright and flamboyant smile on her face, like a dazzling flower.

The king of flowers, peony, is rich and noble, the concubine of flowers, crabapple, is delicate and beautiful, the azalea is blooming, the pear blossoms are pure, the roses are gentle, the apricot blossoms are shy, the peach blossoms are lovely, and the plum blossoms are fresh. The imperial garden is full of flowers and each flower competes for beauty.

Li Xihua was strolling in the imperial garden with the third prince Qin Mingjin, pointing at all kinds of things, when she ran into Bai Liangyu and the palace maids and eunuchs coming towards her.

She rolled her eyes at the visitor without disguising herself.

Watching Bai Liangyu and a group of palace servants and eunuchs approaching, Li Xihua reluctantly bowed to Bai Liangyu, who was in the lead.

"I greet Madam Shupin. May Madam Shupin live in peace and good health. Mingjin, quickly say hello to Madam Shupin."

Li Xihua's tone was lazy and sounded very frivolous. Anyone could sense her contempt and disdain for Bai Liangyu.

"Greetings to Concubine Shu. May Concubine Shu be healthy and happy." Qin Mingjin bowed and greeted in a baby voice.

"Cousin, you are too polite. Please stand up. Why do we need to be so polite to each other like sisters?

His Royal Highness the Third Prince should also get up quickly. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is so cute.

At such a young age, his features show that he will be a handsome young man when he grows up. This makes me very happy. When will I have a little prince as cute as His Royal Highness the Third Prince? "

Bai Liangyu felt relieved and proud that Li Xihua had to bow to her despite her reluctance. She had a longing for Qin Mingjin, who looked like Li Xihua and Qin Zhi, but was also jealous.

The longing was for her future with Qin Zhi's little prince, and the jealousy was for Li Xihua's luck (pregnancy).

“Etiquette cannot be abolished. I am only a humble beauty promoted by the merit of bearing an heir to Your Majesty.

How dare you be disrespectful to Concubine Shu, who has practiced dancing diligently since childhood and has now become a stunning dancer with an enchanting figure, and who has captured your Majesty's attention as soon as she entered the palace?

As for the little prince, Concubine Shu has been enjoying the favor of His Majesty since she entered the palace. She must have been pregnant for a long time without knowing it, right?

If she doesn't get pregnant, even with such grace, then it will probably be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future. Madam Shupin can wait for a few more years, and when all hope is gone, she can push her personal maid Danzhu out to serve His Majesty for one night, and then adopt the little princess she gave birth to. Wouldn't that be fun?"

Li Xihua glanced at Danzhu behind Bai Liangyu and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone.

You are the only one who is capable of this, right? You even brought the maid who grew up with you into the palace. What a great honor it is. I hope Bai Liangyu and Danzhu, the master and servant, will become enemies.

Li Xihua cursed in his heart.

Bai Liangyu lowered her butterfly-wing-like long eyelashes, ignored Li Xihua's sour words, and just responded to Li Xihua with a sweet smile.

Danzhu, who was standing behind Bai Liangyu, was furious when he heard the eldest lady Li Xihua's increasingly sarcastic remarks after she entered the palace, and his eyes were wide open.

How did my young lady offend the eldest young lady, Li Xihua, that Li Xihua cursed my young lady so viciously that she could not have children?

Seeing Danzhu's face turned red because of anger, Li Xihua smiled brightly and was very happy.

Danzhu became even angrier.

"Why didn't the Third Prince go to the Imperial Academy to study today?"

Bai Liangyu ignored the exchange of glances between the two. She squatted down, looked straight at the Third Prince who was grabbing the hem of Li Xihua's skirt with his chubby little hands, and spoke softly.

Qin Mingjin opened his mouth to answer when Li Xihua picked him up and weighed him a few times.

Qin Mingjin was so scared that he quickly hugged Li Xihua's neck. After he was steady, he frowned and whispered in Li Xihua's ear to complain that his mother had scared him and that he couldn't do that again.

“In reply to Concubine Shu, you have not given birth to a prince, so of course you don’t know His Majesty’s arrangements for the princes.

A few days ago, after His Majesty issued an edict to arrange study companions for the three princes, he also issued a divine decree.

It is said that His Majesty is worried about the prince's tutors being tired from going in and out of the palace every day, so he allows them to have a day off every five days so that they don't have to go into the palace.

The princes also benefited from this and were able to take their tutors’ days off to rest, instead of having to go to the academy every day to study.”

Li Xihua raised his chin and showed off.

So what if Bai Liangyu became Shupin? In the palace, without a prince, there is no future.

"Your Majesty has mercy."

Bai Liangyu skillfully ignored the ineffective sarcasm and boasting in Li Xihua's words, and directly located the content he wanted to obtain and output it.

Li Xihua raised his hand and yawned gracefully, and said lazily:

"I have been walking around with the Third Prince for a long time this morning and I am tired. I will not disturb you, Madam Shu, so I will take my leave now."

Li Xihua didn't want to talk to Bai Liangyu with the third prince Qin Mingjin, so he was about to leave.

"Wait, the sunlight is starting to get a little blinding, and there's no point in admiring the flowers. Lady Li, don't you want to invite me to sit in your Moon Room?"

Bai Liangyu slightly pointed out the status of the two people and threatened.

Then he played the emotional card and continued:

"We cousins ​​grew up together and played together. We can't become estranged because of a small conflict in the past. Before I entered the palace, my uncle and aunt reminded me every day that after entering the palace, we sisters should support each other.

I entered the palace a few years later than my cousin, and I am much more unfamiliar with everything in the palace than my cousin. I have lived in the Nanxun Palace for such a long time since I entered the palace, but I have never seen my cousin move to the Nanxun Palace to sit down.

Since my cousin is too lazy to go to my place, I will come to her Moon Room. She can't chase me away, right?"

Bai Liangyu frowned and said sadly.

Li Xihua didn't know why she hated her so much and framed her in such a destructive way, but Li Xihua didn't know that she had already found out the real culprit behind the scenes.

The conflict between the two sisters was just a minor verbal conflict during the talent show, and they can make up at any time. I just don't know if Li Xihua, with her arrogant and stupid personality, will give her this face.

After saying that, Bai Liangyu raised his hand and was about to touch the soft cheek of the Third Prince in Li Xihua's arms, but Li Xihua dodged sideways.

But Bai Liangyu was not angry, but smiled gently and tolerantly. They were obviously of the same age, and Bai Liangyu was even the younger sister, but at this moment, she treated her willful sister like a gentle sister.

Li Xihua's anger suddenly surged up. It was like this again. She was really disgusted with Bai Liangyu's attitude.

Qin Mingjin, who was held in Li Xihua's arms, also felt his mother's rising anger. He blinked his round eyes, nestled in Li Xihua's arms, and did not dare to speak.

"Okay, Madam Shu, please go ahead and have a chat in my Moon Room.

Just as you said, the sun is high now, and the Third Prince in my arms cannot stand the sun, so I will go first." After saying that, Li Xihua turned around and left.

"Mother, do you hate Concubine Shu?"

"Yes, mother has hated her since she was a child. You can't stay alone with that venomous snake who says one thing in public and another in private. Mother is afraid that she will harm you. If anything happens to you, mother will cry to death."

Although Li Xihua failed to frame Bai Liangyu before entering the palace, she also knew that the nature of that incident was much more serious than a simple life-and-death feud.

Li Xihua was almost scared to death that Bai Liangyu would find out what she was doing and then hate her, the Third Prince.

Now Qin Mingjin is her life.

Bai Liangyu was in front of her and reached out to touch Qin Mingjin, and her heart was in her throat.

"Venomous Snake? Are you referring to Concubine Shu? Mother, did you grow up with Concubine Venomous Snake? Like me, my eldest brother, and my fourth brother?" Qin Mingjin asked in a childish voice.

"Yes, I'm referring to her, but you can't call her that, Your Highness the Third Prince of my mother. If your father knew that you called her Lady Venomous Snake, both you and your mother would be in trouble. She is now your father's favorite concubine.

As for the relationship, she is just a cuckoo in the magpie's nest.

Not only did he squeeze into your mother's house when he was a child, he also always liked to compete with your mother for the attention and love of your grandparents.

She and your mother are half cousins, unlike you and your eldest brother and fourth brother, the three of you are brothers from different mothers."

Qin Mingjin nodded in confusion.

"Mother, why do you want to let Concubine Shu go to our Yueshi Palace? Will she come to take away our palace?" Qin Mingjin wrinkled his round face and looked worried.

"That won't happen. She has her own palace. However, if she is pregnant with your father's son, she may steal your father's love for you."
