Chapter 286 Entering the Palace, Mutual Harm

Situ Yuan took out a small bell and a rattle, shaking them from time to time, pretending to amuse Xie Ying, but in fact he was whispering to Xie Ying about the next cooperation.

When they had almost finished discussing it, Xie Ying immediately kicked him and urged him to go back and study the mining tools.

Situ Yuan was a little unhappy that she threw it away after use, but when he thought about the weather getting colder and hundreds of thousands of people in the capital city needing coal to keep warm, he instantly cheered up and couldn't wait to go back.

Tu Jiaojiao personally sent him to the door, and only turned back after seeing him enter the Princess's Mansion.

The princess was very surprised to learn that Situ Yuan had returned so soon. She even went out to greet him, asking in confusion, "Didn't you go out to play with Yingying? Why are you back so soon?"

Situ Yuan had already thought of an excuse, and when he heard it, he pretended to be disappointed and said, "Yingying lost interest after playing with the rattle and the bell for a while. I want to make her some new toys."

The eldest princess was even more surprised: "You want to make toys for Yingying yourself?"

Situ Yuan nodded proudly: "I can definitely do it!"

The eldest princess: "..."

She looked at her son in silence for a long time. Seeing that he looked so confident, she couldn't bear to discourage him. She just said, "Tell Lai Fu what you want to do. Don't do everything yourself. Be careful not to hurt your hands."

After she finished speaking, she still felt uneasy, so she said to Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, take good care of the young master and don't let him hurt himself."

Lai Fu quickly agreed.

Situ Yuan frowned unconvincedly: "Mom, you are too cautious. I am not that stupid."

When the princess heard his words, she couldn't help but recall that a few days ago in the palace, Situ Yuan had so easily exposed Chen Huan's poisonous oath and revealed the truth about Yang Tao's life experience.

She had no choice but to say, "Yes, yes, our Yuan'er is the smartest!"

Situ Yuan then hummed with satisfaction and waved to the eldest princess: "Mother, I have to go back and make toys for Yingying. You can go and get busy too."

Seeing him leave so impatiently, the princess stamped her feet in anger and muttered under her breath, "This stinky boy!"

The ladies-in-waiting Zhou and Liu couldn't help laughing.

Situ Yuan returned to his study, but did not rush to make any toys. Instead, he asked Lai Fu to find a book for him.

He was too weak before, and in order to reduce brain consumption, he didn't dare to read.

After Xie Ying helped him repair his injuries, his body began to heal, and he finally had time to read, but he still didn't read much.

If he wants to make better mining tools now, he must first understand the existing tools in the world so that he can know the current level of technology.

Unfortunately, the Princess's Mansion did not have many books, and Lai Fu went to all the bookstores outside but could not find the reference books that Situ Yuan wanted.

He could only say to Situ Yuan with a bitter face: "Young Master, the books you want are probably only available in the palace."

Situ Yuan had no choice but to find the eldest princess and asked to go to the palace to find some books to read.

The eldest princess was surprised again: "What kind of book do you want to find in the palace? Didn't you say before that you wanted to make a toy for Yingying? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

"I don't know what kind of toy I should make, so I asked Lai Fu to buy a book, but he went to all the bookstores in the capital and couldn't find one, so I want to go to the palace to look for one."

The eldest princess: "..."

Although she felt very helpless, she still took Situ Yuan to the palace to find the book.

There are many books in the palace, and they are well classified and collected.

The eldest princess came in person and found the book that Situ Yuan wanted not long after entering the palace.

However, the books in the palace cannot be taken out at will. If Situ Yuan wants to take them back to read, he has to copy them down first to avoid accidental damage after taking them out of the palace.

Since Situ Yuan was so young, it was naturally impossible for him to copy the book by himself.

So I had to ask people from the Hanlin Academy to help copy it.

Copying books takes time and cannot be completed in a short time, so Situ Yuan stayed in the palace, reading books and waiting.

However, he had only been looking at it for a while when Yang Tao, who had heard the news, came over.

After seeing Situ Yuan, he seemed very excited: "Cousin Yuan'er, you really entered the palace!"

After saying that, he looked around and suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Why are you alone? Isn't Yingying with you?"

Situ Yuan was a little speechless: "I came to the palace to find some books to read. Yingying is still so young, how can she enter the palace casually?"

Yang Tao sighed in disappointment: "Hey, it would be great if Yingying was older, so I could take her everywhere to play!"

Situ Yuan glanced at him and bluntly said, "You haven't started classes yet? Isn't your daily workload too little?"

Yang Tao felt a headache when he heard about the class, and complained to Situ Yuan with a bitter face: "Father found a teacher and assigned me a lot of homework every day.

Fortunately, my mother said that I was weak and needed to recover first, so she cut half of my schoolwork, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come out.”

At the end of his speech, he looked at Situ Yuan and said, "Cousin, isn't it time for you to go to school too?"

Situ Yuan raised the corner of his mouth: "I'm too weak, I need to recover first."

Yang Tao looked at him suspiciously: "But I see that you look better than me."

Situ Yuan's face turned serious: "You must have seen it wrong."

Yang Tao was unconvinced: "How is that possible? Your complexion is obviously better than mine!"

After saying that, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Situ Yuan carefully for a long time. The more he looked, the more he felt that Situ Yuan was talking nonsense!

So he winked at Situ Yuan, leaned closer to him and asked, "Cousin, do you also not want to go to school, so you said this on purpose?"
