After the three of them sat down, the palace maid brought a copper basin and asked the three to wash their hands. After washing and wiping it with a white towel, the three palace maids stood behind the three.

Mrs. Chen looked at Qin Lei kindly and said with a smile: "Your Highness, just point your fingers with chopsticks whenever you want to eat, and the girls will tell you."

Qin Lei chuckled at the kind woman and said, "Auntie, you need to be polite, just call me my name."

He apologized to Concubine Jin again and said, "The child is late, which delays his mother and aunt's meal."

Concubine Jin seemed to be a little tired, and smiled and shook her head, "This child is actually saying strange things. How can I be too late for my mother to wait for the child?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three of them ate silently. Concubine Jin had a very small appetite. After drinking some soup, she became full after eating a few bites of vegetables. Mrs. Chen kept accompanying Qin Lei until the end, but she didn't eat much, mainly because she ate slowly.

Qin Lei finished three bowls of pearl rice and drank two more bowls of soup, but he couldn't eat it anymore. He watched the dishes on the table almost move and wasted his heart.

Seeing him with a regretful look, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "This is for the palace people to make midnight snacks. If you still want to eat, there will be some tomorrow."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I am used to being shabby in Qi State, and I feel a little uncomfortable for a moment." Seeing that Concubine Jin was a little tired, he stood up and said, "It's late at night, so please rest earlier."

Concubine Jin straightened up and the palace maid behind her gently rubbed her shoulders. She smiled bitterly and said to Qin Lei: "Since you were hurt by your brother that year, your spirits were getting worse day by day."

The palace maid helped Concubine Jin to get up, and Qin Lei and Mrs. Shen also got up. Mrs. Chen looked at Concubine Jin, Concubine Jin smiled at her, and turned around and said softly to Qin Lei: "Princes over fourteen years old are not allowed to stay in the inner palace. Lei'er, just go back to my grandfather's house and rest. Let's talk to you tomorrow."

Qin Lei smiled to Mrs. Chen with apologized and said, "I don't know my aunt has made arrangements. I agreed to my second brother before coming and I will go to his place to rest tonight."

Mrs. Chen said 'oh', and her face couldn't hide her disappointment. Concubine Jin held her hand and smiled, "Lei'er will not leave this time, and there will be opportunities in the future."

Mrs. Chen also smiled and said, "I'm too impatient."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qin Lei and Mrs. Chen came out of Jinyu's palace together. Qin Lei was going to the East Palace. Mrs. Chen was going back to the house, and there was a different way. Before parting, Mrs. Chen held Qin Lei's hand tightly and said, "I went to my grandfather's house earlier, and my family missed you very much." In the dark night, Qin Lei couldn't see Mrs. Chen's expression clearly, but he just listened to the strange voice, but didn't think much about it. He only said that the grandfather's house was indeed not ordinary to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he returned to the East Palace, it was almost midnight. When the guards in the door saw their carriage driving back, they didn't ask much, so they opened the door and welcomed Qin Lei in. The guards had already come in and informed him. When Qin Lei entered the hall, the prince and the third and fourth brothers came up with sleepy eyes.

The third brother rubbed his eyes and chuckled at Qin Lei, "I knew you wouldn't be back early. It seems that I can only welcome you tomorrow."

The old four strange voice said, "Come back a little later, so you can have breakfast together."

The prince glared at the fourth brother and scolded, "For the first time, my fifth brother entered the palace, so he naturally had to talk to his grandmother and all the ladies carefully. How could he decide the time himself?"

The fourth brother curled his lips and patted Qin Lei on the shoulder. Weng said, "Fifth brother, don't take it to heart. This is the temper of my brother."

Qin Lei patted his hand on his shoulder, smiling gently, without saying anything.

At this time, the city gate tower was even more drums, and the hour came. The prince yawned and said to his younger brothers: "It's too late today, so don't go back. Let's sleep here."

The third brother nodded, but the fourth brother shook his head and said, "No, second brother, I can't sleep every time I change the bed. Let's go home."

The prince sneered: "I'm afraid it's not that I can't sleep when I change the bed."

The fourth brother laughed and said, "I know me the second brother." After that, he nodded to the third brother and fifth brother, hummed a small song and walked out of the hall.

When the prince saw the fourth brother going out, he said to the third brother: "If you don't care about this thing, you will definitely be burdened by him when your father comes back."

The old man remained silent. In a moment, the fourth brother's oval face with the Buddha's mole appeared again at the door. His eyes swept across the people in the room and hummed, "Don't discuss right and wrong behind the scenes." Then he disappeared again.

The third brother smiled bitterly at the prince and got up to sleep. There were only two princes and Qin Lei left in the house. The prince also smiled bitterly at Qin Lei and said, "Look at these two lazy guys, I have long hoped that you will come back and help me discipline them together."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Second brother, I'll listen to you. But now I'll let me go back to sleep." As he said that, he stretched his waist.

The prince laughed and scolded, "I originally expected to come back with a serious person, but it seemed that I was disappointed." He said to the inner supervisor beside him, "Send the fifth prince to Shuxiang Pavilion to rest."

Qin Lei frowned and said, "Second brother? Is Shuxiang Pavilion a restaurant name?"

The prince said angrily: "It is a book that has read thousands of books, not a Shu where the road to Shu is difficult."

"Oh. Shuxiang Pavilion? Why does it sound like a study or something?"

Prince Zhan Yan smiled and said, "That's right, Shuxiang Pavilion is the important place for books in the East Palace. In the future, before the father gave him the palace, he will be your residence."

Qin Lei was completely sleepy when he heard this. The conscience of heaven and earth was his most hated after coming to this world. First, it was all traditional Chinese characters. Although it was basically unobstructed to read, it had no pleasure in reading. Second, the characters were all printed vertically, and the pages were turned from right to left, which was really depressed. Third, it was also the most important. As a military science student who studied things and learned knowledge, he was also naturally allergic to classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and collections of books.

It seems that most of the books in this era cannot be separated from the classics, history, and collections of books.

In order to understand this era, he forced himself to vomit and read the "New Three Kingdoms" and corresponding historical books written by Li Guangyuan. He did not read another book.

Qin Lei almost moaned, "Second brother, I have never read books since I was a child, and I don't know many words. If you put me into the ocean of books, then you will drown."

The prince said with a serious expression: "Fifth brother, it is because you delayed your homework that you have let you live in Shuxiang Pavilion for your education. I will ask a Hanlin bachelor to teach you in a few days, so that you can also contribute to your father in the future."

Qin Lei's facial features were almost squeezed together and he sighed: "It's so bitter~~~~~~~~"
