Chang'an Xu's hometown

When the princess heard what the emperor said, she shook her head and suddenly realized.

She said to the emperor: Father, it turned out that you gave them a blank memorial so they were not afraid of me.

This princess knows.

I wondered why they were not afraid of me punishing them today, as they were usually extremely afraid.

No, my father and his men have taken my indigo away. You have to make the decision for me.

This princess has said that Qingdai was raised by herself.

Father, you have promised Chaoyang. You won't go back on your word, right?"

When the emperor heard what the princess said, he said to her: "Chaoyang,

Since I have promised you, I will definitely keep my word."

He asked her, "Chaoyang, you just said that the little girl was taken away by Master Yu, Master Han and others.

Why did they take her?"

After hearing what the emperor said, the princess said to him, "Father, didn't you ask Nanny Wu to teach Qingdai etiquette today?

Then, Father, didn't the news that my mother is pregnant spread in the palace today? "

After I heard the news, I went to see my mother. When I came back from seeing my mother, I went to look for Qingdai but saw Nanny Wu hitting Qingdai's hand. This princess was very angry.

I told Madam Wu that I could teach her myself and she didn't need me to teach her. Then I took Qingdai to Qian's study to teach her how to read.

The princess taught her very seriously how to write her name, but Qingdai didn't learn seriously. She splashed ink on the paper and scribbled.

The princess was not angry but wanted to change another piece of paper for her.

But at this time, Master Han came to Qian's study to find me for class, and he saw the paper where Qingdai had splashed ink.

When Mr. Han saw it, his eyes lit up. He thought it was painted by some famous artist. He wanted to know who it was and wanted to collect it.

Then I told him it was painted with Indigo.

Then, Master Han was very surprised when he knew about it and said to the princess, "Let the princess not teach her to read first, let Master Yu teach her, Master Yu can also teach her etiquette and literacy. She is very talented in painting."

Then I said that the fisherman could teach her to paint, and I also wanted to learn. If she wanted to learn, she had to learn to write her name first.

After hearing this, Master Han was not very happy and told me that he had important things to do and then left Qian's study directly.

After Master Han left, I planned to continue teaching Qingdai to read and write her name.

But at this time Master Yu came, and Master Yu came to find Master Han.

But unfortunately, they missed it.

When Master Yu walked into Qian's study, he saw the painting that Qingdai had drawn and thought it was very good. He wanted to take Qingdai as his apprentice and took her away.

Father, you want me to make the decision. How could they do this?

I must ask Master Yu to return the indigo to me."

The emperor listened to what the princess said and laughed, and said to her: "Chaoyang, I asked you to learn painting before, but you refused, and now you want to learn it again.

That little girl has a talent for painting and was taken to learn painting by Master Yu. Isn’t that a good thing?

How about this, I will write you a memorial, Chaoyang, you go find Master Yu."

The princess was very excited when she heard what the emperor said. She said to the emperor, "Father, please write the memorial quickly and give it to me when you are done. I will go to find Master Yu in the Qian Study and ask him to return the indigo to me.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and shook his head and said to the princess: "You little girl. I will write it to you right away. After I finish writing, don't bother me anymore. I still have a lot of memorials to approve.

Also, don't go to Chunyue Palace to bother your mother. Your mother is pregnant now. Don't make your mother angry.

The princess nodded seriously. After reading it, the emperor began to write a memorial.

After a while, the emperor finished writing the memorial and handed it to the princess, who was very excited when she received it.

He said to the emperor: "My son, it's all right. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he left here and walked towards Qian's study.

When the emperor saw this, he smiled and shook his head and said, "This girl has really been spoiled by me."

After a while, the princess came to the door of Qian's study in a sedan chair.

She got off the sedan chair and walked into Qian's study.

She heard two little servants chatting while sweeping the floor, one in white and the other in gray.

She listened to them.

The little book boy in white said, "Hey, do you know? I don't know what happened to Master Yu from Qian's study today? He usually has a cold face and I have never seen a smile on his face. But today he has an excited smile on his face and it hasn't stopped."

Another little book boy in gray said, "Don't you know? Master Yu brought a little girl here today, saying he wants to take her as his apprentice. Now he is painting with his little apprentice in the lotus garden in the Qian study."

When the princess heard this, she realized that they were now in the lotus garden.

But since the princess had skipped classes for several days, she didn't know where the Lotus Garden was.

So she walked up to the two little servants and asked.

She said to the two little servants, "Well, I want to ask you where the Lotus Garden is."

The two little servants saw the princess in front of them and quickly bowed to her and said, "Your servants greet you, Your Highness the Princess."

The princess nodded after seeing this and said, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? Where is the Lotus Garden? Take me there."

The two little servants nodded and said to the princess, "We will obey your orders."

Then they took the princess to the lotus garden.

In the lotus garden.

Mr. Yu and his adoptive mother were currently painting the largest and best lotus in the garden; they had no idea that the princess was coming.

After a while, the little servant brought the princess to the lotus garden.

As soon as the princess entered the lotus garden, she saw her foster mother and Master Yu sitting in the pavilion painting.

She walked up to them.

She said to them, "Master Yu, this is a memorial written by the emperor. The emperor asked you to return the indigo to this princess."

As he said this, he threw the memorial in his hand to the fisherman.

The fisherman heard what the princess said.

He was startled and then opened the memorial that the princess threw to him.

He read the memorial carefully, which stated that Master Yu should teach the princess how to paint.

Master Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He said to the princess, "Princess, I have read the memorial from the emperor. The emperor did not write in the memorial that he would give his apprenticeship to you. He just wanted me to teach you how to paint."

The princess was surprised when she heard this and said, "What? How is that possible? My father clearly promised me. Bring me the memorial and let me have a look at it myself."

After hearing this, the fisherman handed the memorial in his hand to the princess.

After receiving the memorial, the princess quickly opened it. She saw that it only said that Master Yu should teach her how to paint, but did not say that he should return the indigo to her.

She was very angry and wanted to settle the score with the emperor.

But she also thought that she had already made an agreement with the emperor and would not bother him.

Forget it, she should get the Indigo back first and then go and settle the score with the emperor.

So she said to the Master, "No, the indigo belongs to me, you must give it back to me.

She is not your apprentice, she is mine. Why do you say she is your apprentice? Has she formally become your disciple? She hasn't even had a ceremony to worship you as your disciple, has she? How can you say she is your apprentice?

After Master Yu heard this, he said to the princess, "Princess, she is my apprentice, and I have even drunk her apprentice tea.

I will hold a master-apprentice banquet tomorrow. Her name has been included in the roster of our master's school. She is my little apprentice.

No, let’s go before the Emperor and seek justice.

Let the Emperor decide."

After hearing this, the princess said to the teacher, "Okay. I was just about to go and settle accounts with my father. OK, let's go. My father is in Qianfu Palace, and he is now sitting at the rosewood table reviewing memorials.

Master Yu, you don't dare, do you? If you don't dare, just give the indigo back to me."

When Master Yu heard what the princess said, he said to her, "I dare not.

Let's go to Qianfu Palace and ask the emperor for his judgment."
