A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 223 8 Prince Receives Reward
Soon, the old emperor saw the small notebook and wooden pen in the eighth prince's mouth.
It turned out that the eighth prince had a small cloth bag embroidered with curling grass patterns around his waist.
This small cloth bag is very cute in color and style. It is a popular accessory among children and girls in the capital. Of course, some small personal items are also placed in this small cloth bag.
The eighth prince was not yet old enough to go to school, so no one would make things difficult for him if he wanted to carry a small cloth bag with him to attend the palace banquet. Therefore, at this moment, the old emperor saw the small notebook and the wooden pen.
It turns out that this little notebook is made of snow-white thick paper cut into palm size and then bound with colored thread.
Apart from looking small and cute, it is really very ordinary.
As for the wooden pen, it has a graphite core covered with a layer of cork, but it is the size of a finger joint, which is just right for the childish handwriting on Xiaoba's notebook.
This wooden pen is quite interesting!
The old emperor was in high spirits, so he picked up the wooden pen and wrote a few words on the small notebook. He felt that the pen moved easily and his handwriting was fluent. The wooden pen, which was as long as a finger joint, was indeed suitable for carrying around and quickly writing a few words.
"Where did this wooden pen come from?"
"It was given to me by Madam Su. This is the only one I have."
The eighth prince answered in a tangled manner.
In fact, Madam Su gave him and his cousins three sticks each.
Compared with the brushes at home, this kind of pen is lighter, more convenient and easier to use, and they all like it very much.
One had been used up long ago, and there were two left.
But a few days ago, he was playing in the garden with his schoolbag on his back and he accidentally fell down. One of the pens in his bag was missing and he couldn't find it anywhere.
Old Madam Su was going to the farm to cool off, so the three of them couldn't go to school for the time being, but they still had homework to do!
If you don’t do your homework well, and you can’t answer the questions the next time you watch Xianying, you will lose the qualification to watch Xianying again!
Without this useful wooden pen, he wouldn't be able to do his homework.
That's why when he heard that his father was going to give him a reward, he wanted to exchange the reward for a new wooden pen.
Xiao Ba had just mentioned Old Madam Su, and the old emperor became even more interested in this old lady.
It really takes some ingenuity to come up with this kind of wooden pen for children...
The old emperor returned the notebook and wooden pen to Xiao Ba.
He looked at Eunuch Gao again.
"Let the royal supervisor make another batch later, give half to Xiao Ba, and divide the remaining half among the boys from the families."
The "kids from several families" that the old emperor mentioned were naturally referring to the little grandchildren of the emperor who were not yet adults.
After all, it is of no use for adult princes and grandchildren to have such children's items.
The Eighth Prince returned to his seat with a silly smile.
Not only did he receive praise, but His Majesty also ordered the Imperial Household Department to make a batch for him!
Although he didn't know how many there would be in a batch, there must be five or six, right?
The rest of the princes and grandchildren looked at the Eighth Prince with complicated expressions.
Especially the seventh prince, the jealousy in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
The Sixth Prince was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
"Eighth brother, did you receive praise from the emperor for saving the palace maid this time?"
The eighth prince grinned, and two dimples appeared on his round face, making him look even more honest.
"Sixth brother is right. Father also praised me and gave me a reward. He said he would give me the jade seal that he always keeps close to his body!"
As soon as the Eighth Prince said this, everyone's eyes were almost all fixed on him.
Even the Sixth Prince looked somewhat stunned.
"Jade seal?"
What does the jade seal that my father carries close to his body symbolize? Who here doesn’t know it?
"But I didn't want it, so my father replaced it with a small notebook and a wooden pen."
The princes reacted differently, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that Xiao Ba, a fool, has good luck. He is stupid and dazed, but he knows that he can't take what doesn't belong to him!
However, when they were replaced with small notebooks and wooden pens, no one cared.
Who would bother to find out about children's toys?
Now that the palace maid was saved, the palace banquet could naturally proceed smoothly.
In particular, the plan of the Twin Lotuses that the Sixth Prince had been waiting for finally came true.
With this, the Sixth Prince's marriage is almost settled.
When the palace banquet was over, the Eighth Prince returned to the courtyard assigned to Concubine Zhu and her son.
Concubine Zhu had already held the Eighth Prince in her arms and examined him from head to toe.
"My dear little Ba, what frightened you today?"
"In the future, you must stay away from scary situations like that!"
When she saw that the Eighth Prince was safe and sound, she was not frightened at all. Instead, her little face flushed, her eyes sparkled, and she started laughing again.
"Xiao Ba is really my good son. He really made me proud today!"
Previously, she had been sitting at the table for the ladies, and had seen with her own eyes the scene where Cai Lian's boat capsized and the Eighth Prince ran over and gestured.
She was so anxious that she almost got up from her seat and ran to drag Xiao Ba away.
However, the senior palace maid standing behind her whispered a reminder, saying that the Eighth Prince did not look like he was in trouble, and if she rashly went over, others would find fault with her and they would inevitably say that she behaved inappropriately in front of the imperial concubine.
When a palace maid came over and recounted the whole story, she heard that it was Xiao Ba who came up with the idea, saved a life, and was summoned by His Majesty to answer questions... The more Concubine Zhu listened, the happier she became. Didn't she hold her head high and be in high spirits?
It was not only the imperial concubine who praised the eighth prince in public.
The two concubines sitting next to her also gave birth to sons, but the children were still young and could not leave their mother and wet nurse. They also kept praising the Eighth Prince, saying that they hoped their sons would be as smart as the Eighth Prince when they grew up...
Listen!
So smart!
She knew that Xiao Ba was not stupid at all before, he just hadn't met a wise teacher who could enlighten him!
Concubine Zhu pulled the eighth prince aside and questioned him in detail.
It took me a while to figure out most of it.
He was secretly delighted at this moment, thinking that he was wise. As soon as he heard what his father and brother said, he immediately let Xiao Ba go to school outside every day.
Otherwise, where did he learn this immortal first aid method?
It’s such a pity that I didn’t get that jade seal!
That piece of jade is top-grade ice jade produced from the glaciers in the sacred mountains of northern Xinjiang. It can be used to keep away from the summer heat!
In the end, Xiao Ba exchanged it for a small item that was not worth much...
"Never mind, never mind. Even though those two are worthless, it is still an honor for the Imperial Household Department to make a batch specifically for my son."
His Majesty also ordered that the rest be distributed to the little grandchildren of the emperor in each mansion. When the little grandchildren of the emperor use these new things, won’t they all think that they benefited from Xiao Ba?
