"Heaven is dark, earth golden. The cosmos is vast and diffuse. Sun and moon wax and wane. The stars are fixed in their constellations...."

The girl with a double bun sits on a high seat, solemnly held the book, reading clearly. Because her legs could not reach the ground, her lotus root-like legs were still dangling in the air, the red soft shoes embroidered with delicate lotus flowers was peeking from between the clothes, and a pearl the size of a pigeon egg could be faintly seen on the toe of the shoe.

This girl who wore all red read aloud for a while, her eyes secretly looked at the door. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she lean forwad on the armrest of the chair, reached out her arm to take the agate ornaments on the Treasure Cabinet. The agate has a fine texture, bright and clear color, and the thing that rarer than the material was its carving. The color of this agate changed from red to green, and didn't know which craftsman was so ingenious, he carved the red part into two lotus flowers, one in bud and the other in full bloom, and the base along the green part carved into lotus leaf.

This piece of agate was perfectly integrated and ingenious, and its value was immeasurable. The girl was at the age when she loves to play and loves freshness, naturally loved bright things. One of her small chubby hand grabbing the handrail, and the other arm with much difficulty stretched out to reach the red lotus agate. Wan Yue came in with people carrying the hot tea, and as soon as she went around the curtain, she was shocked.

"Junzhu!" Seeing that half of Rui Yang's body was outside the chair, Wan Yue quickly stepped forward to catch her and hugged her back to her seat. Wan Yue was shocked, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh: "Junzhu, if you want to take stuffs just call people, how can you do it yourself? If you fall, even if this servant die ten thousand times still not enough to ask forgiveness to Wangfei."

Rui Yang was held by Wan Yue so she couldn't see anything outside. She pointed at Treasure Cabinet and said childishly, "I want that red flower!"

Wan Yue put Rui Yang away, and the little maid by her side brought the red jade agate over. Wan Yue took it from the maid, wiped it back and forth with the kerchief, and then handed it to Rui Yang: "Junzhu, this jade piece is not light, you be careful not to smash your hand."

Rui Yang played with the lotus agate, touched it here tapped it there, had a great time playing. Wan Yue watched for a while and said softly: "Junzhu, it's time to study."

Rui Yang's round cheeks suddenly wrinkled, it could be seen that reading was not as attractive as the agate. Wan Yue looked amused at such childish look. She bent down and said more patiently: "Junzhu, this servants also know that you are tired today, but Wangfei asked you to read the first ten lines of Thousand Character Classic, in a moment she will return to check. If you cannot recite, how will you explain it to Wangfei later?"

Rui Yang's delicate fingers clasped the petals of the agate lotus, and after a long time, she said gruffly, "But I want to go out to see Da Huang (big yellow)."

Da Huang was the name she gave to her little pony. Yan Wang Mansion enclosed a piece of meadow in the back mountain. The horse farm has everything, and Rui Yang liked to play on the grass field. When Yan Wang saw that she liked it, he specially selected a docile little yellow horse for her. Although she could not ride it yet, it was still possible for Rui Yang to feed it the grass and play with it.

Wan Yue squatted in front of her, asked while imitating her tone: "If Junzhu goes to play with Da Huang, then what to do when Wangfei asks about Thousand Character Classic?"

Rui Yang pouted for a long time, and discontentedly said, "Well, I'll go after I finish reading. But the Thousand Character Classic is too difficult..."
