With today's etiquette, my father and mother should not come to visit me often, especially my father is not in good health, let alone alarmed.However, in the past two days when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard my father's voice several times, knowing that he missed my little daughter so much, so I was a little bit more energetic, so I helped him to the Zichen Palace to show that I was fine, so that my father would not worry—— It is also the deep meaning of mother's exhortation.

When I went, my mother was not there, she said she was busy with Buddhist affairs for me, and my father was wearing an ocher yellow robe, sitting outside the bedroom, with one hand holding the case, the other on his knee, tilting his head and looking at Li Rui.

Li Rui knelt and sat beside his father. There were many scrolls piled up on the cases in front of him. He opened one in his hand and was reading: "...Please restore the old ceremony. The officials of the prefectures and counties have an audience in the old days. Please ask the Holy Judgment. Said: Yes. "

I saw that I was reading memorials, so I was a little hesitant, but my father beckoned directly, "Come in, son." Then he said to Li Rui: "The officials of the prefecture and county, although their ranks are low, are the tasks of the people, and the people of the same place It all depends on this official, so the emperors have never been afraid of cumbersomeness. They have to see and search for themselves, and know whether they are suitable, so that they can be the leaders of the people. When your brothers and sisters get married, Qiniang's affairs are complicated, but they still don't hesitate. Work hard, interview the states and counties, and examine them one by one, just for this reason, "

When he spoke, his breath was not smooth, and he often stopped three or four times for each sentence. Li Rui bowed and listened. It was the first year of Linde that the remote prefectures and counties were given the best edict." As he read the edict, it roughly said that there were no scholars in the remote prefectures and counties who were willing to go, that the official positions were in vain, that the officials and the people had no proof, and that the edicts and scholars had not passed the Ministry of Officials. Those who choose can recommend themselves, and they will be given preferential treatment according to their distance and distance.

After Li Rui finished reading, his father asked him to express his opinion, and he said: "This is the same as what His Majesty just said."

Father asked: "What else?" Li Rui couldn't say anything.

My father sighed, and said: "There are a lot of people in the frontier. If you don't pay attention, they will rebel. However, the court has no officials and no one to supervise them. Once something happens, it often takes dozens of days or months to find out. The city has been captured, and if you want to conquer it again, you have to raise troops from the state capital and go to war. It is better to choose those who are not satisfied with the scholars to appease the people, and to prevent the chaos of the people. And the scholars are not satisfied, stay in Beijing, make friends, and give them a It is also a way to appease you by being an official, so as not to cause more troubles. If there are really talents among them, they will be revealed from now on, and they will be promoted to the public, so that there will be no sages left behind, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Seeing me there, Li Rui said uncomfortably: "I have been taught."

The father glanced at him, and said slowly: "Let's stop here today. Come here, son, let Aye take a look."

I walked over, and my father held my hand and looked me up and down. As he looked at me, he smiled and said, "It looks like your aunt when you were young." Beckoning, holding one in each hand, said: "From now on, there are only two of you brothers and sisters left. You should support each other, and you can't be stingy because of your own business as before. Pheasant slave is a brother, I want to take care of you more Sister, Sizi should also be more considerate of your elder brother."

Li Rui moved his lips, and his father looked at him: "What does Liu Lang want to say?"

Li Rui bowed his head and said, "Aye, it's not just the two of us, there are...Second Brother and Fourth Brother."

The father closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said, "Liu Lang Youai, your mother and I both know, but you need to know that your second brother is not only your second brother, but also the deposed prince. After I left, As the new king, you can bless the common people, but when I am here, you must not waver, understand?"

Li Rui leaned down again, and said softly, "Understood."

His father sighed, touched the back of his head, and said softly: "Liulang, you will take on important responsibilities in the future, and you should not be as willful and reckless as before. In everything... listen to your mother, there is nothing wrong. The emperor is not a day I have done it well, and I learned it bit by bit when I was young. Emperor Xuanyuan said: To govern a big country, it is like cooking small fish. Our family has been in chaos and chaos, and a hundred wastes are waiting for prosperity. After the ancestors came to me, three generations of hard work , in order to have today’s situation, you must not be greedy and rash, and miss the law of your ancestors’ recuperation, you must save the people’s power frugally, govern the country, and take it easy.”

The meaning of the will in these words is too obvious, Li Rui immediately threw himself on the ground, grabbed his father's hand and cried: "I'm a hundred years old, Aye is only halfway through, and it's still early to leave, I beg Aye, don't do anything This is an ominous word." I also wept against my father's hand.

My father held us both in his arms, and said with a sigh: "Everyone wants to be a hundred years old, but you see, how many people are there in the world who are a hundred years old? Life and death are destiny, no one can escape." Pat my With his head in his head, he said: "Your brother, it's okay, but it's you... I heard from your mother, that your heartache will hinder your childbirth in the future?"

I have already guessed this matter. Pregnancy and childbirth are already a big difficulty in these years. People like me who suffer from heart pain may not be able to give birth smoothly even if they don’t go through these few months. I had this worry, but I never said it clearly. Now, on the day I got married, my heartache broke out, so even my father became worried, and he didn't hesitate to talk about it in front of Li Rui and me.

Li Rui changed his face, and suddenly looked up at me: "Sis?"

My father squeezed his hand to comfort him, then looked at me and said, "A mortal must have an heir. Even though you are a princess, you are not so polite. In the future... if the son-in-law takes a concubine to give birth to a child, don't complain, just go get the child." Mother, the relatives of adopted sons may not lose to their own sons, understand?"

I pursed my lips and said: "If you can't have children, then you just don't have children. Why do you have to raise other people's sons?"

My father caressed my neck lovingly, and said with a wry smile: "You will know later." When he looked at Li Rui again, his eyes became very severe: "Liulang, you are the prince, in the future... you must take good care of your sister."

Li Rui said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I only have one younger sister. If she has a son in the future, I will treat her like a parent. If she has no son. I... will always do something for her."

Father smiled slightly and said, "It's best if you have this heart."

After talking about this conversation, I was already extremely tired, so I closed my eyes slightly, and Li Rui and I hurriedly helped him onto the bed from left to right, and exited carefully. As soon as we reached the door, Li Rui pinched my hand and hurriedly asked: "Si, what Grandfather said, is it true?"

I said: "I didn't hear it with my own ears. It's just that I feel guilty and short of breath when I move a little now. I think I may not be able to do such a big strain."

Li Rui moved his lips, as if he wanted to comfort me, but in the end he just squeezed my hand firmly and said, "Don't worry, Brother will take good care of you and never let you suffer any grievances—I'll go now Find the son-in-law and explain it to him."

I looked at him, and for some reason, I remembered the piece of writing paper Erlang wrote to me, and grabbed his hand not to let him go: "Brother, don't rush to find him, my parents have already built a house for me in Andaofang Number one, in the future we will live in separate families, no relatives will bother us, and all the people around us will be people from the palace, if there is any trouble, my brother will naturally have news, so don't worry."

Li Rui didn't know about this, and said happily: "Andaofang is very close to my East Palace. It would be best if you live there. If someone dares to bully you in the future, just come and tell me. If it's a private matter of your daughter's family, I'm sorry to talk to you." What I said is the same as what your sister-in-law said."

As soon as he mentioned Wei Huan, I felt a slight pain in my heart. I lowered my head and said, "Of course." Seeing that he was about to leave, I stopped him: "Brother, why did you mention Shiro just now?"

There was an unnatural smile on Li Rui's face: "Silang is also our brother with the same father. Although he is not as close as Erlang, he should not be treated as usual. If you want to be kind, you should be one."

I frowned and said, "Grandfather just now asked my brother to listen to Auntie more. If you want to do something, you'd better ask Aniang first."

Li Rui said: "You don't have to worry about the important affairs of the court, you just want to recover from your illness."

I know his temper, so I don't say any more, I just salute him, and I went back to Lingqi Hall.

After a short rest, Wei Ying came in. She had changed to light makeup and was wearing a purple skirt. The people behind her were carrying several food boxes, and there were still a few boxes.

I waited for the food box to open, and the first thing I saw was a plate of Hubing—this biscuit was exquisitely made, and it was cut into four pieces, each of which was only one bite.There is very finely cut shredded meat in the cake, the meat is thin and white, and you can tell at a glance that there is no other flavor except salted. Fortunately, some courgette shreds are served next to the shredded meat, which makes it not so boring to look at. It is useless on the cake The sheep oil is roasted dry and crisp, with sesame seeds sprinkled on the outside, and the sesame seeds are also roasted fragrant and crunchy. The smell makes people drool.

I didn't eat enough in the morning. When I saw this pancake, my stomach started to growl. Wei Huan asked someone to open another food box. Inside was a bowl of minced meat stewed with meat and eggs. The meat was also cut very carefully. Small, the heat is just right, the whole has been stewed into a bowl of thick soup.

Apart from these two, there are more than ten small dishes, all of which are very light dishes, mainly vegetables-the first dishes in the greenhouse are for the emperor, it is not easy for Wei Huan to get these at this time.

When I saw these vegetables, I suddenly got upset again, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie has ordered Shangshan to open a room just for me, if I want to eat anything, I can call someone at any time, why does Sister-in-law do such despicable things on purpose? "

Wei Huan said indifferently: "It's a woman's duty to cook meals for the family. What's more, Erniang is sick now, so I need to pay special attention to diet. I should take care of Erniang's meals. I can't say that I am humble or not. .” While speaking, he took the chopsticks, picked up the food for me, and brought it to his mouth.

I looked at her, she opened her mouth to hold the food in the chopsticks, but when she chewed, she felt tasteless, and finally finished eating, she took another chopstick, and after repeated, I really lost my appetite, so I lowered my head and said, "Eat full."

She glanced at the table, took out a small piece of Hubing, and said softly: "Eat another piece." As she spoke, she put the Hubing to my lips, and seeing that I didn't speak, she put one hand on my face and said softly Said: "Just for the sake of... your brother, you should also take good care of your body, don't let... us worry."

I hate her for being so gentle, she opened her mouth stiffly, took the piece of mustache in her mouth, chewed vigorously one by one, her eyes were sore while eating, she held back her tears on her back, and after eating one piece, she grabbed the leftovers with her hands Put the cake down, hold the bowl with one hand, stuff the soup and cake into your mouth together: "Okay, sister-in-law, are you satisfied?"

He ate in a hurry, choked in his throat, and didn't want her to see him, so he suppressed his breath and swallowed down. Who knew that this body was really delicate, but he was stuck and refused to go down after eating such a small amount of food. People were in a panic, several people rushed over, some were carrying water, some were walking on their backs, after tossing around for a long time, it didn't help, but Wei Huan came up and slapped me on the back for a while, his hand was so strong that I was hit My internal organs were about to fall apart, all the food was vomited out, and tears came out of my eyes—I couldn’t stay on the bed anymore, and I had to change clothes. Several palace servants helped me to go behind the screen, and Wei Huan called me back: “I Come."

This gesture was too attentive, several palace people looked at her in surprise, and then turned their heads to look at me.

I know she wants to make it up to me with such humility, telling me not to abuse myself.She pretended to be very concerned, but in fact, only she knows how much weight I have in her heart.However, I will never be fooled by her again. Even if she knelt down behind the screen and begged me, I would not agree to her.

I raised my chin high, and responded with the expression and tone that a domineering princess should have: "Then there will be Mrs. Lao."

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Taiping: If I had known, I would have fought with you a few more times.

Wei Huan: Can you beat me?

Taiping: No, I mean... "hands on".

Wei Huan: ...
