Chapter 288 Xie Tang Cracked
Chapter 288 Xie Tang Cracked
When Yang Tao heard that Situ Yuan wanted Xie Ying's brother to be his study partner, he immediately became envious.
"Yingying has a brother? He's even older than me!"
He first sighed in surprise, then looked eagerly at Emperor Taihe, "Father, I also want to study with you."
Emperor Taihe had actually already prepared to choose a study partner for him, but he just didn't know who would be the right one.
Hearing Yang Tao's request, he was immediately delighted: "Okay, okay, I will definitely choose a good study partner for you."
Situ Yuan suggested, "I heard that the Jiang family has a little bully named Jiang Yao. Why not let him be my cousin's study partner?"
Emperor Taihe actually thought of this person. He had always intended to promote Concubine Jiang's family. Now that Yang Tao became Concubine Jiang's son, he was naturally more willing to promote the Jiang family and let Jiang Yao become Yang Tao's future team.
So when Situ Yuan mentioned it, he simply agreed: "Then let him do it."
Anyway, you can choose more study partners. Even if Jiang Yao’s talent is not so good, you can still pick a few smart ones.
When Yang Tao heard that Jiang Yao was chosen as his study partner, he couldn't wait to meet Jiang Yao.
He asked curiously, "How old is Jiang Yao? Is he good-looking?"
Emperor Taihe's face darkened again. "He is one year younger than you, six years old this year, so he is naturally not bad looking. But you are a prince, so you can't ask others about their appearance casually. It is very disrespectful."
What's wrong with this guy? He acts like a playboy!
He must have been corrupted by Li!
Yang Tao shrank his neck nervously and looked at Emperor Taihe eagerly: "Father, what is solemnity?"
The veins on Emperor Taihe's forehead throbbed violently, but he said, "If you want to know, go ask your teacher."
After saying that, he quickly found an excuse to slip away, fearing that Yang Tao would continue to ask questions.
But before he left, he specifically instructed Situ Yuan: "Starting tomorrow, you will bring that kid from the Xie family to the palace for classes!"
As soon as Situ Yuan agreed, he strode out.
His movements were very graceful, but his back inexplicably gave off the look of someone fleeing in panic.
Situ Yuan was complaining in his heart when he heard Yang Tao ask, "Cousin, do you know what dignity is?"
His heart tightened, and he quickly put on a stern face: "I don't know either, but you can go ask the teacher now."
Yang Tao had no choice but to ask the teacher.
As soon as he left, Situ Yuan stopped reading and asked someone to copy the remaining books. Then he quickly took people to the Imperial Garden, intending to pick some beautiful flowers to bring back and give to Xie Ying.
He had just chosen Xie Tang as his study partner. If he didn't bring some gifts for Xie Ying, who knew how that girl would deal with him!
Thank you.
"Ah!"
Xie Ying rubbed her nose in frustration and looked around suspiciously.
[What's going on? My nose suddenly feels itchy. Is someone plotting against me again?]
Xie Rou, who was standing by, was so frightened when she heard her words that she ran to Tu Jiaojiao to report the news, fearing that another bad guy was going to harm Xie Ying.
After hearing her report, Tu Jiaojiao became nervous and ran to tell Xie Xiu.
So Xie Xiu lost interest in reading and started wondering who wanted to harm Xie Ying this time.
The family was nervous for a long time, and they were still thinking about this matter until Situ Yuan came to visit again with gifts.
Xie Ying was a little surprised when she saw Situ Yuan: [Why is this guy here again? ]
Situ Yuan quickly said, "I just went to the palace and picked out some beautiful flowers. I thought Yingying would like them, so I brought them back for her."
Xie Ying narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously: [Something's wrong! If someone shows kindness without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief! This guy suddenly came to give me flowers, could he be plotting behind my back?]
Situ Yuan suddenly felt guilty.
He knew that this girl would definitely think so!
He looked at Xie Ying sincerely, without a trace of guilt on his face, and continued, "By the way, my uncle asked me to go to the palace to attend classes starting tomorrow. I chose Brother Tang as my study partner, and he has to go to class with me."
Xie Ying's eyes instantly turned dangerous: [I was wondering why you suddenly sent me flowers, so it's because of this!]
She glared at Situ Yuan unhappily, but did not refuse.
Since the emperor has agreed, he has to go unless Xie Tang pretends to be sick.
Pretending to be sick was obviously not a good idea, and being Situ Yuan's study companion was also a good job.
Anyway, Yang Tao has a good temper and has Situ Yuan to protect him, so Xie Ying is not worried at all that her brother will be bullied.
If someone is really blind and dares to bully her brother, she can bully him back quietly!
Xie Ying looked at Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao again. They were obviously a little surprised, but Xie Xiu quickly agreed and asked Situ Yuan what he needed to pay attention to when entering the palace.
Situ Yuan directly let Ms. Zhou speak. When she was almost done, he quickly asked to leave to prevent Xie Ying from continuing to glare at him.
After they left, Tu Jiaojiao, who had been worried the whole time, asked Xie Xiu, "Do you really want to let Tang'er enter the palace and be Situ Yuan's study companion? Will it be dangerous?"
Xie Xiu smiled and comforted her: "Empress Chen is dead, and now in the harem, apart from the Empress Dowager, Concubine Jiang is the only one in power.
Tang'er was just a study partner to Situ Yuan, not the only little prince in the palace. Even if someone wanted to fight for power, it would have little to do with Tang'er.
That little prince is one year younger than Tang'er, and his study companions are also a group of children, so there's nothing to worry about."
Tu Jiaojiao agreed. Not to mention Situ Yuan, she also had her uncle secretly helping her in the palace, so he would definitely not let Tang'er get into any trouble.
So she stopped worrying and even prepared some good clothes for her son so that he wouldn't look too shabby when he entered the palace.
It just so happened that Xie Ying was conferred the title of county princess a few days ago, and the palace rewarded her with a lot of fine materials.
She had asked the embroiderer at home to make a nice set of clothes for her son, but because the material was too good, she didn't let her son wear it to school.
Now if I want to enter the palace, I have to make a few more sets.
She said something to Xie Xiu and rushed off to prepare.
I also specifically told Liu Zhichun about this.
Liu Zhichun smiled after hearing this and said, "That's good news, but you're right. We should prepare a few more nice outfits for Tang'er. I happen to be free, so I'll come and help."
Tu Jiaojiao did not refuse, and took her directly to choose the material, and then called the embroiderer and the maid to work together to prepare the costume for Xie Tang.
Xie Xiu personally went to pick up Xie Tang from school.
Xie Tang was very happy to see him: "Dad? Why did you come in person today?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked nervously in a low voice, "Are we going to move again?"
Xie Xiu smiled faintly: "Don't worry, our family will not move this time."
Xie Tang immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu then added, "Starting tomorrow, you can no longer come to this school. Situ Yuan has chosen you as his study partner, and starting tomorrow, you will follow him into the palace to attend classes."
Xie Tang was instantly petrified, and then cracked with a "crack".
