Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang heard Queen Ye's choking voice.

Loyalty is an emotion she dare not think of.

As a queen and her husband is an emperor, she is destined not to give her my whole heart. The closest family members are gone, and the only daughter is confused...

Living in a deep palace all her life, she should be lonely inside.

Xunxiang used to please her just to hold her thigh, but now he feels very sorry for her. I think I must honor her well in the future, sincerely...

The next day, Queen Ye talked about letting Xunxiang go to Jingfangzhai to study.

The emperor's daughter and granddaughter, as well as the more outstanding girls in the clan, must go to the Jingfangzhai in the palace to study from the age of seven to thirteen.

There are several imperial study rooms in the palace. Among them, the south study room is where the emperor reads, listens to lectures and paintings by the imperial officials, the upper study room is where the prince and some of the clan's children study, and the Jingfangzhai is where the royal ladies and some of the clan's daughters study... …

Girls, unlike boys, do not need to study hard every day. I only go to school for three days every ten days, on the third, fifth and eighth days. During the rest of the time, I study housekeeping, nvhong, tea ceremony, incense ceremony, cooking and other skills at home.

When I was a child, I mainly studied books such as "Three Character Classic", "Nv's Sutra" and "Nv's Commandments". When I grew up, I generally studied some Four Books and Five Classics as well as calligraphy and painting.

The master is an official of the Hanlin Academy, and old masters and teachers who have nothing to do will occasionally come to give lectures.

It is an honor for girls to study in the palace. If they want to study deeply and become a talented girl, they have to hire a husband at home. For example, in the case of Xun Feng before, Princess Dongyang asked Jiang Bonian to teach Xun Feng piano skills after begging for a long time.

Jiang Bonian worked in the Shengping Administration and was one of the most famous musicians in the Li Dynasty. Not only was he good at playing the piano, but he also composed several famous pieces of music. He composed the ceremonial military music of the Qingguan era.

Being able to worship Jiang Bonian as his teacher, Xun Feng once raised his tail to the sky, feeling that entering the "Four Beauties of the Capital" was just around the corner...

Both the princess and the princess had a reading companion, and those wealthy families racked their brains to get a place as a reading companion.

Xunxiang asked Tao Jing to be her reading companion.

Tao Jing is only one year older than Xun Xiang. She is talented, smart, and has a trustworthy character.

Queen Ye also thought it was good, "Tao Weng is upright and talented. Mrs. Tao studied at Jingfangzhai in her early years. Their granddaughter can't be wrong."

It's the end of the year now, and we have to take a long vacation in just a few days. Xunxiang will not go to the palace to study this year, but will study again in the first month of next year.

It was quiet inside the palace, but it was very lively outside. There were various legends circulating in the streets that the emperor's granddaughter Xun Xiang was secretly exchanged with the people, and then returned to the princess's mansion eleven years later...

The main culprit Xun Gu was sentenced to death, and the accomplices Xun Qiansong, Xun Guo, and Li Ji were executed. These people have committed extremely heinous crimes and will be executed on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The accomplices Ma Hong, Li Pingyi and others were sent to Qiongzhou...

The Ding family was benevolent and righteous, treating their children as if they were their own. The story that the head of the family, Ding Zhuang, was named Uncle Chengyi by the emperor spread widely.

Common people are more interested in the soaring Ding family. Various legends emerge one after another. Storytellers and theater troupes have begun to write jokes and plays in this regard.

After learning that Princess Xiangxiang's previous maiden name was Dingxiang, the Dingshan family, Ding Sifu, Ding Erfu, Shopkeeper Gong and others were all frightened to death.

No wonder Ding Xiang doesn't look like the Ding family at all, but she turns out to be the princess's daughter, or the daughter of a legitimate princess.

Oh my god, the emperor's and empress's direct granddaughter actually ended up living in Lao Ding's house.

The key is that they talked to Princess Xiangxiang, had dinner together, hugged her and carried her... Glory!

They all came to Ding Mansion early in the morning on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to inquire about the situation.

Dingshan was so happy that he couldn't sleep at first. The second brother's family had a better future, and his grandchildren could also borrow money. But seeing my second brother sober and stupid sometimes made me feel sad again.

He advised, "Second brother, when you were in the country, didn't you always long for Xiangxiang to be the number one scholar, to be promising and enjoy happiness? If you become the number one scholar, you will be reused by the emperor, and you can't stay by your side every day.

"You just think that Xiangxiang has been admitted to the top female exam, gone to court to be an official, has a great future, and is still enjoying the blessings. You are happy, and Xiangxiang is at ease there..."

Ding Shan can talk, Ding Zhuang's not very bright mind thought for a long time, it seems that this is the truth...

"Xiangxiang is not at home. Did she become an official by becoming the number one female scholar?"

Ding Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Xiangxiang was admitted to the top female examination and went to the palace to serve as an attendant to the emperor. She will come back to see you as soon as she takes a rest."

"What does a scholar do?"

"Dedicated to reading scriptures and history for the emperor..."

Ding Zhuang's eyes were filled with laughter, "Xiangxiang's little mouth is good at talking, and she's talented. She must be able to speak well."

Ding Chi laughed and said, "Dad, when Xiangxiang comes home, you can help your son to make a pact and let him become an imperial merchant, and Yuhualang wine will be paid as tribute to the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Ding Zhuang took off his shoes and hit Ding Chi on the head.

"You bastard, you just let Xiangxiang handle personal matters when she became an official. Aren't you blatantly letting her commit a crime and ruining her future? I'll beat you to death."

After saying that, he stepped forward and beat Ding Chi head and face. He beat Ding Chi until he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf before he was pulled away.

Ding Zhuang was helped by Ding Shan to go for a walk elsewhere. Ding Chi rubbed his blue face and smiled at Ding Zhao, "Yesterday I sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Lai, telling him the good news to make him happy."

Ding Zhao frowned and said, "Why tell Li Lai? Dad is already like this. We don't want him to come back and make trouble again. It's the coldest month of winter, and he will suffer even if he comes back."

Ding Chi said disapprovingly, "This is a good thing. Li Lai is only happy. He is very busy in Hu County, how could he come back..."

When Ding Zhuang became an uncle, the Dong family, Xun family, Sun family, Qiu family, Tao family, He family, Wang family and other well-connected families all sent congratulatory gifts.

Ding Zhuang is not in good health now, so he has to schedule a treat after the new year.

Ding Sifu and Ding Zhen both asked Ding Zhao, "Can we see Sister Xiang again in the future?"

Ms. Xie hurriedly reminded, "You still dare to call me sister, without fear of losing your head? Now I have to call you Princess."

Ding Sifu and Ding Zhen covered their mouths in fear.

Ding Zhao smiled and said, "It's not that serious. The Emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that Xiangxiang is still the daughter of the Ding family, and Prince Consort Xun also expressed his intention to let Xiangxiang go home regularly. When Xiangxiang comes back, he will pick you up to play with."

Butler Tang and Shopkeeper Gong were also overjoyed. Their sons and daughters would have a better future by working as slaves for the princess.

The person who was particularly happy was Grandma Dai. Her slave contract was also taken away by Princess Xiangxiang, who said that as soon as the small kitchen was built, she would be taken over and asked to be the kitchen manager.

Ouch, what an honor it is to be the steward in the princess's mansion. Thinking of the suffering she suffered in the past, those who bullied her should be afraid, right?

In the afternoon, the palace servant came to deliver the Holy Sage's oral instructions, and tomorrow morning Xuan Dingzhuang and Ding Zhao went to court.

Dingshan and others were filled with envy again.

Ding Zhuang doted on Ding Xiang too much, and many people poked his spine, scolding him for not being like a man. Now that he has become an uncle with lilac, he still has to go to the Jinluan Palace to see the emperor.

It's like smoke is coming out of the ancestral graves.

Wait until word of this comes back to Gu'an Town and see what those people say...
