The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 160 The Prince's Tutor

The warm sun that rose in the morning was covered by dark clouds after a few hours.

The originally cold palace became even colder after a light rain with snow foam. The snow on the ground was wetted by the rain and melted into silky snow water, as if covered by a layer of ice.

With the support of Caiyun and Ruolan, Nanxiang walked towards the Yanxi Palace cautiously in her padded ottoman shoes, her feet slipping from time to time.

She couldn't help but tighten her heavy clothes.

"My lady! The weather is so changeable. It just came out sunny and then it started snowing again."

Caiyun was holding an umbrella, but she walked steadily in the palace maid shoes.

“The weather is really changeable.”

Nanxiang looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh at the changeable weather.

When I just went out, there was still warm sunshine shining on my face, but this time, snow and rain began to fall in the palace.

The raindrops fell into my hands, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

At this moment, her thoughts were being disturbed by Prince Huai'an's marriage, and she would think about it from time to time.

King Huai'an's marriage has now been confirmed, but the date still needs to be considered.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave Gu Junshen four dates to choose from.

The 24th day of the third lunar month, the 28th day of the third lunar month, and the longer 8th day of the fourth lunar month and the 10th day of the fourth lunar month.

Finally, the two decided on the 28th day of the third lunar month, which matched the birthdays of Gu Jintang and the second daughter of the Chen family.

As for the location of the wedding, Gu Junshen chose the imperial palace.

After all, Gu Jintang is the emperor's younger brother, so his status and position are naturally beyond doubt. In addition, the second daughter of the Chen family has a close relationship with the empress dowager, so this marriage cannot be held in a low-key manner. Holding it in the palace is the best choice.

It not only demonstrates the emperor's regard for Prince Gu Jintang, but also adds a highlight to Gu Jintang's marriage.

However, Nanxiang was a little overwhelmed by the complicated etiquette of the wedding, and she needed some time to digest and sort it out.

……

When we returned to the Yanxi Palace, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, making the weather even colder.

Nanxiang couldn't help but quicken her pace and walked into the inner hall.

The two little ones have woken up and are eating breakfast in the hall.

Seeing Nanxiang coming back, they rushed over immediately.

"Mother, where have you been?"

"Mother has gone to find your father."

Hearing this, the two little ones ran back to breakfast and ate contentedly.

A few days ago, Nanxiang proposed to Gu Junshen that they wanted to raise a few sheep in the Yanxi Palace in order to obtain goat milk to provide nutrition for the two little ones.

She had forgotten to mention it to Gu Junshen just now, and she guessed he had forgotten it too.

Then Kikuhei brought ginger soup with honey.

Nanxiang drank it in small sips and soon dispelled the coldness in her body.

……

The tenth day of the third month of the Wuxu year.

Spring has arrived for many days, and the temperature has just warmed up. The vegetation in the Yanxi Palace has become greener, and many flowers have bloomed for the first time since the warming.

However, the few snow plum trees that Nanxiang liked had lost their beautiful flowers, and their branches had been replaced by new green buds.

After breakfast at Chenshi, Nanxiang asked the two children to dress up.

At this time, Gu Yuchen was wearing a light yellow cloud-embroidered brocade robe, his hair was as black as ink and was crowned with a jade hairpin. He had a round face, and although he looked childish, there was a hint of coldness and aloofness between his eyebrows, which was quite similar to Gu Junshen.

Gu Jinxuan didn't know if it was because she and Gu Yuchen were twins, but she looked almost the same as him. If Xuan'er hadn't had her hair in a bun, she and Chen'er would have looked like brothers.

But if you look closely, you can still see that there is a bit more feminine gentleness in Xuan'er's eyes and brows.

"Chen'er! Xuan'er! Did you remember what your mother told you?"

After Nanxiang dressed up the two little ones, she asked them calmly.

"Chen'er remembers it."

"Xuan'er also remembered it."

The two replied in unison.

Nan Xiang nodded gently after hearing this.

Earlier, she had explained to the two little ones the rules and etiquette for the meeting with the young master.

He also demonstrated it carefully to the two of them several times.

Only until the two of them did something that was 50% similar to Nanxiang did she nod with satisfaction.

Although meeting with the Shao Fu is a small matter, one small matter is enough to show many big things.

If you can't even do a small thing well, you're afraid of being laughed at.

Just like the last time when Concubine Wang asked a teacher for Princess Yong'an, when Princess Yong'an met the teacher, she looked timid and even forgot the most basic etiquette when meeting someone.

No one knew where this news came from, but it made Princess Yong'an become a mediocre person in the eyes of the eunuchs and maids in the harem.

The rumor made Concubine Wang furious. After returning home, she reprimanded Princess Yong'an.

Concubine Wang's personality is that of an official's daughter, elegant and noble, proud and self-reliant. She has always been the one looking down on others, so how could she ever be looked down upon by others?

But this would not work for Princess Yong'an.

She didn't learn much about etiquette and other knowledge from the princess, so she must be restrained when doing things. To be honest, it's not her fault.

It’s just a pity that she had such a strong-willed mother and couldn’t receive a good education.

Then Nanxiang brought the two children to the study room in the southeast wing of the Qianqing Palace.

When the princes in the harem turn five years old, they have to go to the study room to attend classes. Now Chen'er and Xuan'er are about four years old, so it should take about another year before they can start formally studying.

But the two little ones have been influenced by Nanxiang since they were young, and their intelligence and thinking are already higher than many of their peers.

It's not a bad thing to start studying early.

……

At this time, two young tutors in official uniforms were already standing in the Qianqing Palace. Although they looked old, they had righteous expressions.

A few years ago, when Gu Junshen didn't have a prince yet, the court didn't have a tutor, only an imperial teacher to teach him.

Now the imperial teacher is old and can no longer take on the responsibility of teaching the prince.

Therefore, in the past two years, Gu Junshen has been selecting suitable talents from retired officials after the imperial examination and promoting them to the position of Taifu.

Now only two have been selected, both of whom have worked for him in the court for many years.

Retiring after achieving success and then teaching the prince would be a good choice to spend his later years in peace.

"I, Song from Yanxi Palace, greet the two Grand Tutors."

When Nanxiang saw the two old men with gray hair and beards, she immediately bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"

The two tutors did not expect that the imperial concubine would come to see them in person, and they became a little frightened.

"Chen'er! Xuan'er! Come and pay your respects to the two Grand Masters."

After Nan Xiang finished speaking, the two of them immediately stepped forward and bowed to the Grand Tutor.

"Chen'er meets Master Chen and Master Xu!" Gu Yuchen said coquettishly.

Gu Jinxuan immediately followed suit.

Nan Xiang didn't have to come, but she was worried about letting someone else do it, so she came in person.

This also shows her importance to the two children and her respect for the tutor.

Seeing the two little ones being so respectful and behaving so gracefully, he immediately stroked his beard and smiled heartily.

"The prince and princess are really smart!"

"The children are still young, and cannot be called smart. I just hope that the two of them will not make too many mistakes. If they do make mistakes, I hope that Master will forgive them."

Nanxiang spoke while standing upright and bowed slightly to the two tutors.

"We, the ministers, will teach the prince and princess everything we know!"
