【Maple Cherry】

Chapter 2 Prince Heng's Orphan

"Xiao Fuying, stop, and put on your clothes obediently!" In the third year of teaching Taixue, on a bright and starry night, Jidao Xuanjue heard a familiar voice coming from the yard again.

"I don't wear it, and you coax me to wear a skirt, so I don't want it!" Fuying ran all the way, saw the tree in front of her and climbed up.

"You can't be as obedient as you were when you were a child!" came the girl's voice.

Jidao Xuanjue sighed, stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, "Blow the cherry blossoms, the night is quiet, so don't speak loudly." There was an instant silence.

Fu Ying slipped down from the tree, "Master." He gave a respectful salute, and Jidao Xuanjue saw the big palace lady standing next to him smiling at him, "Oh, Master is not asleep yet, do you want me to give it to Master?" Would you like some supper?" This court lady is called Tan Fangji, with a pair of big sparkling eyes showing an innocent face.

But this innocence should be feigned.Jidao Xuanjue thought.The harem has recently appointed a concubine Xie Yuming, and this grand maid, Chan Fang Ji, seems to be her confidant, but since it is a matter of the harem, it naturally has nothing to do with her. "In the dead of night, you should rest early." He glanced at Fuying, the child's eyes were full of pleading for help, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are busy cooking during the day, and the lessons you haven't heard are worse than what I give you now." Fill?"

"Okay!" Fuying nodded, walked directly to the entrance of Jidao Xuanjue, opened the door and entered the room. When the door was closed, she made a face at Tanfangji, who was still holding a pink skirt. He stomped his feet resentfully, "It's not fun to grow up!" She turned around and went, Jidao Xuanjue closed the window, and began to make up lessons for Fuying.

Since the beginning of the Taixue class, Fuying has listened to his lectures almost every day when she has nothing to do, but there are also a lot of cleaning and cooking tasks in the Taixue, and occasionally she falls behind, Jidao Xuanjue makes up for him at night, she is smart, sensible and eager to learn , Which teacher is unwilling to teach such students?

After the third watch, a low cough suddenly came from outside the window, "My lord, the rebellion of King Heng has been concluded."

Jidao Xuanjue, who was giving a lecture to Fuying, paused his hands, and replied, "Understood." He looked up at Fuying, "Come here tonight, you have to get up early tomorrow. Come to see me tomorrow night .”

Fu Ying nodded, hugged her book and turned to go out.Jidao Xuanjue suddenly called him, "Fu Ying, do you have any friends in school?" Fu Ying didn't quite understand why the master suddenly asked this question, so she nodded, "Yes, Feng Xiu is my friend, and Chu Wu Hurt, although he is not very talkative, Wuyi is always well-behaved, I don’t like it, but it’s okay.”

"What would you do if you had a different stand from your friend?" Jidao Xuanjue looked into his eyes and asked.

Fuying froze for a moment, "Master, are you talking about quarreling with your friends?"

"It can also be said that if you disagree, what should you do if you quarrel?" Jidao Xuanjue asked.

"Have a fight and go to sleep, and you'll be fine the next day." Fuying smiled, "I can't quarrel with Fengxiu anyway, so I might as well beat him up! He doesn't hold grudges, and he will come to find him the next day I play."

Jidao Xuanjue also laughed, he felt absurd to discuss this matter with a ten-year-old child, he smiled and nodded and said, "Go." Seeing Fuying turned and ran away.

King Heng, the only younger brother of the current emperor, the emperor has no heirs, and the princes of several major fiefdoms have been eyeing the throne for a long time. King Heng is the only orthodox heir to the throne. King Heng's rebellion was designed by one of the princes, King Yadi. The person in question is precisely this master of the Imperial Academy who lives in seclusion and does not seem to be involved in government affairs.

Jidao Xuanjue stood by the bed with his hands behind his back.He thought, many years ago, he, King Heng, and King Yadi, like Fuying Fengxiu, stayed together day and night in the same school, how did they get to where they are now?

Get into a fight, get some sleep, and you'll be fine the next day... If a person can live with such a mind for the rest of his life, it's not too bad.As he thought about it, he watched a bit of fish-belly come out from the sky, he couldn't help sighing, the window was closed again, and a moment later, a figure in black floated out of Jidao Xuanjue's room with a sword in hand.

……

Wuyi arrived at the school very early today. Today is different. They no longer need to live in the school. Wuyi raised her hand and knocked on the door. When she heard footsteps inside, Fuying opened the door with a yawn, "Why are you here?" So early?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at Wuyi and frowned.

"Morning with my father early, I came here on the way." Wuyi smiled and saw that Fuying was only wearing an inner jacket, even the belt of the clothes was tied wrong.

Fuying yawned twice in a row, tears welling up in her eyes, "Then I'll take care of it, young master, you can do whatever you want." He yawned again, turned around and left.

Wuyi Shi Yin stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, never thinking that there was a sound at the door, and a figure in black flashed in, holding a baby in his arms, "Who is it?" He was taken aback for a moment.

The person who came was also taken aback, closed the door with his hand back, held the child in his hand and looked at Wuyi for a while.

"Master?" Wuyi stared at those eyes for a long time, then asked half suspiciously.

There was a knock on the door, "Open the door, open the door, search for King Heng's party, open the door!" Someone knocked on the door, and there was chaos outside.

The man in black with the child in his arms was Jidao Xuanjue, he was startled when he heard the voice outside, then looked up at Wuyi, Wuyi rolled his eyes, "Master, go in and change first." He whispered.

Jidao Xuanjue nodded when he heard the words, quickly walked around the school in front of him and entered the backyard with the sleeping baby in his arms. Fuying just came out with an annoyed expression on his face. He had already put on his clothes and combed his hair , looks much more energetic, "Come here, come on, it's really hard to get up early in the morning!"

Stretching out her hand to open the door, Fu Ying was roughly pushed and sat on the ground, "Get out of the way, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit to search for King Heng's party." The man walked in as he spoke, and saw him when he looked up. The eldest son of the right prime minister stood in the yard with his hands behind his back with a frosty face. Although he was young, his demeanor was already overwhelming.

"Yo... isn't this..." The person who came was a little scared for a moment, "Your...Young Master..." This person turned out to be a soldier of Prime Minister You's residence.

"There are troubles in the Taixue. Didn't father teach you how to do things on weekdays?" Wuyi is not angry and pretentious. He has delicate features and is still young, but he just snorted coldly from his nose and let someone beat him. I shuddered, "Young Master, the younger one was ordered by the Prime Minister to..."

Wuyi sneered, stepped forward step by step, stretched out his hands to help Fuying who fell on the ground, and said coldly, "Fuying is my friend."

"Yes, the little one doesn't know, the little one deserves to die." The visitor nodded quickly, and then apologized to Fuying, "Master Fuying has a lot of adults, so don't be as knowledgeable as a villain. But the little one is also here under orders, please learn from me." The person in charge here will come out and see you."

"Master should be up by now, I'll call." It was the first time Fuying was called a young master, she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she couldn't help laughing because of the doggy appearance of this person in front of her, she turned and went in.

After a while, Jidao Xuanjue came out wearing a sky-blue casual attire. He put on his hat in a hurry, and asked Fuying as he walked, "Who is in a hurry to see me?" When he looked up and saw the obedient person at the door, "You are not from Prime Minister You's family..." He turned his head and looked at Wuyi next to him, Wuyi bowed respectfully, "Master, the student arrived earlier today." It looked like he had seen Jidao Xuanjue just now, which made Jidao Xuanjue heave a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, everyone came to the school early in the morning, what business do you have?" Jidao Xuanjue asked anxiously.

"Responding to... Master, King Heng rebelled last night, and now he has been taken down. I was in charge of searching for the remnants in Prince Heng's mansion, but was escaped by a man in black and disappeared all the way to the vicinity. That's why... ..."

"No one came to the school, if you don't believe me, you might as well search for it." Jidao Xuanjue was calm.

Just as the people were about to move, Wuyi glanced at them, "I was here just now, and I haven't seen anyone coming in or out."

"Yes, what the young master said is true, then we... let's leave first." The man trembled, took a step back quickly, turned around to leave, and suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask, "I don't know, master... I have been studying for a long time last night. inside?"

"Master taught me the book in the middle of the night last night, and I didn't rest until after the third watch." Fu Ying said with a flat mouth beside her, "When you came, the master just got up and his face hadn't been washed. It's really rude. !” His voice was not loud, and people far away could not hear him clearly, but several people around him, including Wuyi, Jidao Xuanjue and the leader who came to search, could hear him clearly.

"Going out and embarrassing the prime minister's mansion, you go back and take the punishment yourself." Wuyi snorted coldly.

"Yes, my little one will leave." The man went tremblingly.

Jidao Xuanjue stood for a long time, and when he heard the person walking away, he said, "Fu Ying, go and prepare breakfast."

"Yes." Fuying agreed and turned to leave.

Jidao Xuanjue stood for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "Wuyi, come with me."

That year, Wu Yi was 12 years old.

Followed Jidao Xuanjue all the way into the room, Wuyi was still wondering when Fu Ying went to call for the child but didn't see the child, Jidao Xuanjue opened a secret door behind the bookcase leading directly to the ground, Wuyi followed When I entered, I saw that the baby was still sleeping peacefully.

"This child belongs to Prince Heng..." Wuyi raised his head cautiously and asked.

"Yes. This was born three days ago by King Heng's concubine. It is not on the genealogy. I rescued it in the chaos, and it is not in vain for us to have a friendship." Jidao Xuanjue sighed, "Wuyi, today Thank you for that." He looked at the student in front of him.

"Does he have a name?" Wuyi didn't respond, pinching the baby's little face.

"Yuanbie." Jidao Xuanjue replied.

"Master, don't worry, I will never tell anyone what happened today. Didn't you tell us that children are innocent?" Wuyi smiled at Jidao Xuanjue, "It's just that the students think that Taixue It doesn't seem very good to have an extra child for no reason."

"You're right." Jidao Xuanjue nodded.

Wuyi smiled, "So Master, why don't you go on an excuse to go on a study tour, and when you come back from the study tour, say that you picked it up on the road, which is quite reasonable."

Jidao Xuanjue smiled wryly, wondering if the 12-year-old child in front of him has become a genius, is he making suggestions for himself? "You're right, this is indeed a good way." He suddenly felt that maybe when the child grows up, he might become his own rival... It's better to win him over early...

After Fuying finished breakfast, Wuyi pulled him aside and secretly smiled and said, "Master will give us a holiday."

The news came that Jidao Xuanjue, master of Taixue, went on a study tour for two books, Fengxiu, Wuyi and Cu Wushang secretly took Fuying and ran out to play, Fuying and Cu Wushang climbed onto the tree Picking the fruit and throwing it down, Fengxiu was watching lazily below, Wuyi beside him said helplessly, "It's not enough!"

"Let's go, let's go, the master will come out in a while." Fuying jumped down and picked up the fruit and hugged it in her arms, when she heard a woman's voice behind her, "Thief! Don't run away—Rhubarb and Erhuang, come on!"

Holding the fruit, Fuying pulls Fengxiu and Wuyi up and runs away.

"Chu Wushang - leave it to you!"
