The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

When Xu Shida heard his cute granddaughter say in a childish voice that he was a bandit, he was so angry that he could hardly speak. However, he did not want to tell the truth, so he had to hold it in.

It was the first time that Xu Qingxue saw her grandfather with a completely bald head. She thought it was very interesting and touched his scalp with her little hands. She exclaimed: "Wow! Grandpa! Your scalp is so soft! So interesting!"

Xu Shida twitched his lips. This is also a demon star.

Before the grandfather and grandson could say anything more, someone came hurriedly to report that the Third Prince had arrived with the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince.

Xu Shida was shocked.

Why did the three royal princes come to his own palace?

What happened again?

But he didn't have time to think about it and hurried out to greet him. Xu Qingxue saw that her grandfather, who had always been calm, had a different expression and hurried out, so she followed him with her short legs.

"I have met the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince."

When Xu Shida saw the three familiar figures, he was about to kneel down to greet them, but was stopped by Hong Yan.

"Xu An Da, there is no need to be so polite. The Emperor said that you are recuperating in your house, so Hong Min and Hong Chen will come to your house to study in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Yan noticed with his sharp eyes that the usually serious expression of the elderly Xu Anda had a hint of crack.

"This...is this the emperor's decree?"

Xu Shida was incredulous. The emperor allowed this demon star to come to his house? Wouldn't that mean he was going to make a hole in his house?

He looked at Hongmin who was standing obediently on the side, then at Hongchen who was grinning, and suddenly he felt dizzy.

Hong Yan also felt very sympathetic towards this An Da, but he had no other choice. The emperor was determined to rely on this An Da to temper Hong Chen's temper.

Hongchen said in a baby voice: "An Da, it was Hongchen's fault last time. Mother has already taught me a lesson. I will never dare to be naughty again."

"Haha" Xu Shida laughed dryly a few times. Hongchen is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree.

"Please come in, my three brothers." Xu Shida gritted his teeth and led the three of them into the mansion. There were hundreds of imperial guards standing at the door. He twitched his lips...

"Eh? Grandfather, who are these three big brothers?"

When a few people walked into the mansion, they saw a little girl with red lips and white teeth, who looked like a delicate jade sculpture. She was not shy at all. When she saw strangers, she circled around three people. She was especially curious about Hongmin and Hongchen, who were about the same age as her.

It was also the first time for Hongchen to see such a young girl. His elder sister was about to get married, but his younger sister was still young and had just learned to walk.

"My name is Hongchen. What's your name?"

Xu Qingxue blinked her big eyes, looked at the little boy who was about the same height as her, and replied: "My name is Xu Qingxue. Are you my grandfather's student?"

Hong Chen nodded: "Yes, you are Xu An'da's granddaughter? How pitiful, then won't you be punished every day?"

Hongchen instantly found a sister who was even more miserable than himself.

Hong Yan was somewhat helpless, and Xu Shida was even more upset. He pulled Xu Qingxue's hand and said, "Xue'er, go back to your room quickly."

"No, no, I want to go out and play, Grandpa, I won't disturb you." Xu Qingxue pulled Xu Shida's hand and acted coquettishly, which made people's hearts melt.

If it was before, Xu Shida would definitely have fallen for her cute sister's attack, but how could he let his granddaughter meet the emperor? He didn't dare to take the responsibility.

But Hongchen was obviously very interested in this unfortunate granddaughter of Xu An'da, and wanted to play with her: "An'da, can we let her study with us?"

"This is not okay... How can a little girl study with a prince? This is against palace rules..."

Xu Shida was a little conflicted. In fact, Qingxue had already been enlightened a long time ago, and he was the one who taught her personally.

He also had high hopes for his granddaughter. There was now a system of female officials in the palace. If he passed away a hundred years later, Qingxue could also become a female official with her talent, and this way he could ensure his own safety.

So he didn't want to delay his granddaughter's studies, but it would be against the rules if she studied with her brother.

Hong Yan saw his dilemma, so he said authoritatively: "It's alright, Xu Anda, Hong Chen and Hong Min will only study in your house for three months. Besides, boys and girls should not sit at the same table after the age of seven. They are still young now, and it's not time for them to be separated."

Hong Yan knew that the Han people valued rules and etiquette the most. Although the Manchus came from outside the Great Wall, many of their rules had already been influenced by the Han culture. The rule that children under the age of seven should not sit at the same table was one of them.

If we were on the grassland, where everyone rides horses and herds cattle all day long, we would see each other everywhere. How could we not sit at the same table?

Hearing what the Third Prince said, Xu Shida was relieved: "In that case, Qingxue, you can study with the two princes."

He stroked his beard and felt a little relieved. No matter what, Qingxue has achieved some success now. She is well-versed in poetry and literature at a young age. If she can successfully stimulate the Sixth Prince's enthusiasm for reading, it will be a very good thing.

After all matters were settled, Hong Yan went out. Before leaving, he gave his two younger brothers a good warning: "Study hard here, don't disturb Xu An'da, and don't bring the little girl from the Xu family to cause trouble. I will come to pick you up and take you back to the palace in the afternoon."

"Yeah. Don't worry, brother." Hongmin patted his chest, "I'll take care of Hongchen."

Hong Chen was not to be outdone: "Brother! I will definitely listen to you! Remember to buy me that sweet candy man! I want a monkey!"

Hong Yan touched their heads one by one and said with a smile: "I understand. What else do you want?"

“And grilled corn!”

"Okay, you go in."

After Hong Yan finished speaking, he gestured to Xu Shida and left.

Xu Qingxue licked her lips, leaned closer to Hongchen, and whispered: "Do you like to eat candy men too? My grandfather always forbids me to eat too much, saying that it will damage my teeth."

Hongchen thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Don't worry, if teeth fall out, they will fall out, and new ones will grow out eventually."

"Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, let's go in."

After concentrating on reading for two hours in Xu's mansion, Xu An'da specially picked out two gifts for the two princes.

Qingxue was so angry that she almost cried when she saw that the crystal paperweight that she had asked her grandfather for for a long time was given away by him.

So, Hongchen generously picked out a purple crystal grape paperweight from his collection and handed it to Qingxue: "Crybaby, stop crying. Here is this for you."

Qingxue's eyes were blurred with tears: "Why...why did you give it to me? Don't you like it?"

"I like it. Who told you to cry? My mother said that I am a little man and I should be a gentleman and know how to take care of girls."

"What's a magic stone? The one that makes monkeys pop out of it?"
