"The Master said: Those who love relatives dare not be evil to others, and those who respect relatives dare not be condescending to others. Love and respect are all about serving relatives, but morality and filial piety are imposed on the people. Punishment in the world is like the filial piety of the Son of Heaven. Just the punishment says: One person There is celebration, and Zhaomin relies on it."

The immature and clear voice of a child came from the courtyard from time to time. The imperial concubine looked out of the window. Although the flowers and trees were flourishing, she couldn't see the small figure clearly, but there was still a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.Gao Xian knelt on the ground, saw she didn't respond for a long time, so he had to say again: "The emperor summoned Xiaowei Kuang that day, although he said there was still a decree, but after waiting for these days, there was no movement."

The imperial concubine withdrew her gaze and said slowly: "Didn't you reward a lot of gold and silver brocades?"

Gao Xian was blocked by her and couldn't help but say: "This..."

The imperial concubine was silent for a while, and then said: "Is this Kuang Chong so restless?"

Gao Xian hurriedly said: "No, it's just that the uncle is very impatient. Maybe he talked too much with Kuang Xiaowei at that time. The emperor's temperament is unpredictable, and now he puts a word here, which makes people feel uncomfortable. This Wei It's really unclear who the post of general will fall on. The meaning of the uncle is to see if the empress can think of a way..."

"These words are utterly muddled!" The imperial concubine's face darkened: "You should ask him, what can you think of?"

Gao Xian hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This slave deserves to die."

The imperial concubine gently placed the agarwood Buddha beads in her hand on the table, and after a while, she said: "The position of General Wei is very important, the emperor has his own plans in mind. If you send someone back to him, you should be quiet at this time and not move. There is only one word." , if you are too eager, you will definitely get into trouble."

Gao Xian repeatedly agreed: "Yes, the servant understands."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, the slave will leave."

Gao Xian kowtowed and stepped back quietly. The imperial concubine's face was slightly tired, she leaned on the bright yellow pillow and closed her eyes to rest her mind, but her heart was full of thoughts and thoughts.I don't know how long it took, the child's voice reading outside the window stopped abruptly, and she vaguely heard the sentence "My son knocks on my father", and her eyes opened suddenly.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the surrounded attendants to stand guard outside the palace, and he took Zong Xu's hand to enter. The imperial concubine had already come to greet him, and bowed down to salute: "The concubine has seen the emperor."

"Binglun, get up quickly."

The emperor was in a good mood, and took Zong Xu to sit down on the big kang by the window. The imperial concubine took tea from Qinzhu and served it, and Fang sat down on the lower head with a slanted body.The emperor looked at Zong Xu carefully, and saw that his face was ruddy, his pupils were clear, and the purple four-claw dragon robe embroidered with the auspicious patterns of the eight treasures on his body made him look even more arrogant. very good."

The imperial concubine was puzzled and said: "Why did the emperor say such a thing?"

The emperor said: "When this child was still in the Grand Concubine's Palace, every time he saw me, he would shrink back and shrink back. He felt alienated and fearful, which made people angry. Now he behaves much more calmly."

The imperial concubine smiled slightly: "The concubine didn't dare to take credit. In fact, it's not that the concubine taught well. The child grows up, and naturally becomes sensible day by day. Admiration is natural. How can there be any reason to alienate the emperor?"

The emperor nodded, stroked Fu Zongxu's head and neck, and asked, "Xu'er, what did you read in the courtyard just now?"

Zong Xu said: "Going back to my father, my son and minister are reading the classic of filial piety."

"Is this what the master in the study taught you to read?"

"No, Erchen is still young, and the masters are only teaching Erchen how to read and read the Three Character Classic."

The emperor said: "Oh?"

Zong Xu glanced at the imperial concubine, and replied respectfully: "The Sutra of Filial Piety is taught by the mother and concubine to recite. The concubine said that among the virtues mentioned by the saints, filial piety is the most important, and the practice of filial piety is the filial piety. My son should learn early."

The emperor looked at him with a hint of surprise and approval in his eyes, put his arms around his small body, and asked again: "Then when you can read it, can you understand the meaning?"

Zong Xu replied honestly: "Most of them don't understand. If I don't understand, I will ask my concubine or master. Once they explain it, my son will understand."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Xu'er, your father is busy with government affairs all day long, so don't just worry about annoying him." Then she said to Qin Zhu: "Let the nanny come in and take him down."

Hearing this, Zong Xu hurriedly came down to salute: "Father, mother concubine, the ministers there will leave first." Then he left with the nanny and others.

The emperor watched him go out, and said in his mouth: "Xu'er's words and demeanor seem to have been reborn, I am really glad that he was entrusted to you to raise him."

The imperial concubine said: "The emperor's words are serious, and the concubine is ashamed."

The emperor sighed softly: "Only these two princes, Xu'er's biological mother came from a humble background and unfortunately died early, so it is his great fortune to be raised under your knees, but Lie'er, alas---you Do you think my treatment of Concubine Min was unfair?"

When he changed the subject suddenly, the imperial concubine was stunned, and said softly: "Although Concubine Min has committed a serious crime, she has been with Shengjia for many years and gave birth to the eldest prince. The emperor is kind and affectionate by nature, and cannot bear to hurt her life. It’s also human nature.”

The emperor kept silent, took a sip from the teacup, and said after a while: "Lie'er is already a governor, but there are many things that cannot be explained to him, which is a headache."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "The eldest prince is now in Yonghua Palace, and the empress is personally raising him, so the emperor doesn't need to worry."

While the imperial concubine was talking, she scrutinized his expression indistinctly, but the emperor intentionally or unintentionally avoided the topic: "Recently, Yan Kun was convicted, the position of General Wei is vacant, and the cabinet delivers a large number of memorials every day, which really makes me very upset. "

The imperial concubine carefully considered the words: "The position of General Wei is related to the defense of the capital and the safety of the royal family. It should not be vacant for too long. The reason why the ministers played this is out of their loyalty to the emperor."

"I know." The emperor smiled slightly: "Several important ministers in the cabinet have recommended candidates to me, and now I am a little hesitant."

The imperial concubine's heart trembled, but her face remained calm: "The courtiers and concubines are still unable to share the queen's worries about the harem affairs, and they know nothing about the affairs of the court. It is useless for the emperor to talk about these things to the courtiers and concubines."

"Although I have many harems, there is no one who is as intelligent as you. Although my ancestors have taught me that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but sometimes I am willing to talk to you about the difficulties in my heart." The emperor sighed: "In the name of General Wei Although I belong to the Ministry of War, if something happens, it cannot be controlled by the Ministry of War. I feel that the power of this position is too great, especially the incident of Yan Kun, which makes me even more worried."

The imperial concubine looked at him and said calmly: "But the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he will definitely find a way, right?"

The emperor smiled and stood up: "It's getting late, I'm back in the palace, and I still have a bunch of memorials to read."

The imperial concubine hurriedly got up: "Your majesty, although the government affairs are important, the emperor must also pay attention to his own body and bones, don't be too tired, some unimportant matters should be handled by the cabinet."

"Well, I know." The emperor suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Have you seen Concubine Lian recently?"

The imperial concubine was slightly taken aback, and had no choice but to reply: "I've been busy taking care of Xu'er recently, so I haven't been there for a while."

"There are too many things in the Queen's Palace, so I can't take care of them. Go and see her when you have time. She has lost her child, and she will inevitably feel depressed. Someone needs to comfort her." The emperor stood there, as if he wanted to say something, but Stop, just wave your hand: "Forget it, don't give it away."

After Li Mao checked his pulse, he went out with Hengbo. Here, Baozhen hurriedly took off the pillow, put down the gauze curtain, and Lianzhen was lying on the bed, unable to cheer up.After a while, Hengbo came in and said: "Mr. Li didn't say anything else, it's still the same as last time, asking the young master to relax and take care of himself."

Lian Zhen said: "How? I said I'm fine."

Hengbo wondered, in the past few days he always liked to sit quietly and alone, his face would occasionally flush, and he was listless in the past two days, and he seemed to be a different person, but the doctor Li said that there were no more symptoms, isn't this a strange thing?

Lian Zhen asked, "Is Doctor Li gone?"

"No, please wait for tea outside."

"You ask him to come in, I have something to ask him alone."

Hengbo and Baozhen glanced at each other, and they went out to pass on a message. Li Mao didn't know what was going on, so he hurried in and knelt down by the bed: "My lord, what do you want to ask?"

Lian Zhen sat up and said through the curtain: "Do you still remember what I told you last time?"

"Remember." Li Mao said in a low voice: "My lord told me not to say anything about the imperial concubine. Don't worry, my lord, even if I had the guts to be ambitious, I wouldn't tell anyone else about it." .”

"But..." Lian Zhen said softly: "But I'm still worried, alas, very worried."

Li Maodao: "The last time I told the young master, it was because of me... because of me..." He gritted his teeth and said: "If the young master still doesn't believe in this minister, then the minister will... just use myself and my father Make a poisonous oath, if I leak this matter, our father and son will die!"

When she said it, her voice trembled, Lian really listened, and couldn't help but feel apologetic in her heart: "I'm sorry, I don't want to force you like this, but this matter is too important to me, more important than my own affairs, when I think of this , I can’t even sleep well at night.”

Li Mao was puzzled, his lips moved, but it was difficult to ask, the two were silent for a while, the gauze curtain moved slightly, and a bright green handkerchief fell to the ground lightly, but Lian Zhen turned around and looked He said inside: "Mr. Li, thank you. I'm tired and want to take a rest. You can go out now."

Li Mao stared blankly at the towel, his palms were sweating, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Young master is very healthy, and I'm leaving."

Lying on the bed, Lian Zhen felt that her heart was filled with longing. When she closed her eyes, that cold and delicate face and that heart-warming kiss appeared in her mind. She thought about that scene no less than a thousand times. It seems that they will never get bored, but since then, they haven't seen each other again. The days and months in the palace are already long, so how can they bear the torment of lovesickness?This kind of feeling really makes people have nowhere to tell, why hasn't she come yet?Lianzhen was happy for a while, sad for a while, just in a daze, half asleep and half awake, Hengbo's voice sounded in his ears: "Master, you have been lying on the bed for a whole day today, and you should get up and take a walk. You are in the yard. It's okay to scatter."

Lian Zhen woke up slowly, staring blankly at the roof of the tent, and said in a weak voice, "I don't want to move."

Hengbo persuaded patiently: "Master..."

Lian Zhen suddenly said: "Hengbo, go on and bring me some clothes that I usually like, I want to choose carefully."

Hengbo asked in surprise, "What are you doing, my lord? Are you going out tonight?"

"No, I will wear it tomorrow morning and go to Yonghua Palace to pay my respects to the Empress."

"What?" Hengbo opened his eyes wide, and immediately stopped him: "How can that be done? Doctor Li said that you should only stay indoors for a while and rest, and you must not be blown by the cold wind. There is no need to go to the Lama Temple to say hello..."

Before the words were finished, someone interjected, "Who is going to the Yonghua Palace to pay his respects?"

Hengbo looked back, and hurriedly said: "The servant sees the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine said: "Okay, I'll come and see your little master, it's none of your business, you go down first, by the way, I'll have dinner here tonight."

Hengbo answered "yes" several times, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to give instructions.Here, when Lian Zhen saw the door closed, she didn't care about anything else, and got out of the bed with bare feet. The imperial concubine felt a burst of fragrance, and her warm and jade-like body was already embraced.

She hugged her tightly, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of reproach: "Who allowed you to go to Yonghua Palace to pay your respects?"

Her heart beat faster and faster, her body was limp and drunk, and her voice was as soft as a whisper: "If you don't come to see you, I... I will always find a way to see you."

The imperial concubine felt pity for her, she gave her a light kiss on the sideburns, put her hand on her cheek, slipped past her side as if there was nothing there, then lifted her small and delicate chin, the two looked at each other, The eyes are full of affection, the lotus is really like a flower blown by the spring breeze, it is full of vitality in an instant, and it is full of beauty and charm when it smiles frequently, the imperial concubine can't help but sigh softly: "Lian'er, you are so beautiful..." Low down He kissed those smooth, soft and sweet cherry lips deeply.
