Great Zhou Empress

As the court gradually stabilized, someone came up and asked the regent to restart the early court mode.

Xue Zhijing expressed a little bit of a big head.

"Early Dynasty" is an administrative ceremony of all dynasties. The general time is officially started at four o'clock in the morning (six o'clock in the morning). In the spring and autumn season, this is the time when the sun rises.When the weather is good, the entire south-facing hall begins to bathe in the sun in the early morning, and the brilliance in the hall circulates, and everyone is full of a sense of ritual.

But this ceremony is very laborious.

I remember that in the past, Yuan Hanzhang would get up at around 04:30 Yinshi ([-]:[-]) every day in order to go to the morning court, then dress up and eat breakfast in a hurry, and then went to court.

As for the courtiers, they got up earlier, after all, they had to rush to the palace from all over the city.When they arrived at the palace gate, they had to line up in a neat line and step into the hall neatly under the command and supervision of the inspector.

In fact, the topics to be discussed every day will be submitted to Yuan Hanzhang's desk in the form of documents on the first night, so unless very important topics are not discussed in the early court.

At about seven or eight o'clock, the morning court is over, and then Yuan Hanzhang will hold a meeting with the ministers of the Zhengshitang.

Therefore, the rituals of the early court meant more than the effect of work.

Before the fire in Yuan Hanzhang's imperial palace in Jiankang City, she worked non-stop in the morning court every day, but after the fire disaster, she became tired and lazy, and when she returned to Bianjing City, she fell ill again. Open again.

Xue Zhijing handles government affairs at the military plane every day, and he didn't think it was necessary for the morning court, so he didn't think about it.

The experienced and prudent courtiers said that the early dynasty is the foundation of a country's stability, please be sure to reopen it.

Xue Zhijing's feeling is that if the regular meeting is not held, everyone will feel as if they are not at work.

But this time is really early, I live in a mansion outside the palace now, if I really want to go to court early, wouldn't I have to get up at three o'clock every day?

OMG!

Xiao Liege will definitely strangle me to death.

However, there are more solutions than difficulties, Xue Zhijing discussed with all the courtiers, and changed the morning court to the afternoon court, with a small court in three days and a big court in five days.Finally, the problems of time and sense of ritual were solved.

At the same time, the palace provided working lunches to many courtiers attending the afternoon court.

Everyone is happier.

In the afternoon, returning home from the military plane, Xue Zhijing discovered that Xiao Liege was not at home. After asking someone, he found out that she had left for the Royal University in the morning.

Xue Zhijing turned his horse's head and ran out of the city.

The Royal Comprehensive University is full of people at this time, it is the time for dinner in the evening, and it is also the time for the students to do some things on their own.

Xue Zhijing reckoned that Xiao Liege was at the polo field, so he rode directly to the polo field, tied the horse at the spot where the horse was parked, and then stepped into the polo field.

As expected, Xiao Liege was inside.

There were also two groups of people standing on the field, one side was wearing gray bunt riding clothes, the other side was wearing black and white clothing, it looked like two teams.

Xue Zhijing went to sit in the shed where she was resting on her own, and the guards who came with her poured tea for her.

He was tired from galloping all the way here, so Xue Zhijing drank two cups before he relaxed.

After Xiao Liege finished his training there, he let the two teams wrestle with each other, and he went back to the rest shed.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Xue Zhijing, Xiao Liege took the last few steps faster, seeing Xue Zhijing, there was a smile in his words.

Xue Zhijing poured her a cup of tea, "When I got home, I saw you weren't here, so I came here."

Xiao Liege was very happy, and said with a smile on his face, "It's so far away, you don't feel tired, I'll be back soon."

"Not seeing each other every day is like every three autumns. Naturally, we can't wait for a moment." Seeing Xiao Liege, Xue Zhijing was naturally not stingy with sweet words.

Xiao Liege said angrily, "The mouth is so sweet."

"It's not very convenient here, or I'll let you try it."

Xiao Liege: "..."

After teasing Xiao Liege for a while, Xue Zhijing was happy, and asked, what was she training for.

Xiao Liege said, "Give them some physical training, such as wrestling. If you practice a lot, your legs and feet will be sharp."

Xue Zhi nodded, "You are better at this aspect, after all, you have been playing since you were a child."

"That's not true. When I was in the royal court, I was the most powerful one. Few could compare to me in wrestling and archery." Xiao Liege's words were full of pride.

"Well, it's just that I beat you in wrestling."

What Xue Zhijing was talking about was the last time when they were in Huaihe Camp, they had a wrestling match, and Xue Zhijing happened to win against Xiao Liege.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liege's mouth immediately swelled up, "That's because you are cheating, who will wrestle relatives' ears? Who won't get soft after being kissed, you won't be honest."

Xue Zhijing spread his hands and said with an innocent face, "But, there has never been a rule that you can't fall on your ears when you wrestle. It's not a foul for me."

Xiao Liege stretched out his index finger and poked at Xue Zhijing in the air, "Wrestling is fighting by force, you use crooked methods, but you don't practice martial ethics."

Xue Zhijing stepped forward and held Xiao Liege's index finger, acting on the line, pretending to be crying and said, "Really? So, I can't kiss your ear, so what should I do, I want to kiss every day."

Xiao Liege knew very well that Xue Zhijing, who occasionally liked to perform with her, would mislead her every time he performed, but even so, watching Xue Zhijing act in a weak and weak manner, he spoke limply If so, Xiao Liege couldn't get angry at all.

I had no choice but to look at Xue Zhijing bitterly.

"Let go of my fingers."

Xue Zhijing smiled and let go, but his nails also scraped along the back of Xiao Liege's finger.

Xiao Liege withdrew his hand, but his face turned red.

Xue Zhijing really thinks Xiao Liege is so cute, the two of them have been together for so long, and she always blush, so innocent.

It really makes people want to tease her.

After staying for a while, the two decided to go to the university cafeteria for dinner.

During the construction, Xue Zhijing planned four dining halls for the university, all of which were large and spacious, and there was even room for expansion in the future.

The meals in the cafeteria are also divided into different types. You can also order fast food such as box lunches in later generations. There are all kinds of food from all over the world, and the natural charging levels are also different. The luxurious meals are even comparable to the most luxurious ones in Bianjing City. The restaurant is gone.

Xiao Liege teased Xue Zhijing, "You really never forget to make money."

Xue Zhijing responded, "This is a long-lasting way, differentiated to meet different needs, high enjoyment and high charges, which can be used to feed back the lack of funds for low-charge meals, and serve multiple purposes."

"I don't know what you ate to grow your head. There are so many ghost ideas."

Xue Zhijing smiled.

Seeing the two of them, many students in the cafeteria got up to greet them. Xue Zhijing greeted them politely, and casually asked if the meal suits their appetite.

Everyone had met Xue Zhijing at the opening ceremony, and many students were very excited to see Xue Zhijing, the head of the mountain and king of Zhou, so approachable.

After saying hello to them, when the two went to the private room on the second floor, Xiao Liege said, "You seem to like to say hello to the students?"

Xue Zhijing approached and said, "The children are very cute."

"I always feel that you have an old-fashioned taste. Many students are older than you."

"Being a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of your life, heaven and earth are kings, parents and teachers, and I will be their king in the future. They are naturally children."

"I'm talking old-fashioned, who told you about heaven, earth, master, master, and master?"

Xue Zhijing frowned slightly, "Are you old-fashioned?"

The private room where the two entered had a particularly large window, and the view outside the window was particularly good. They could see the wide playground and the teaching buildings hidden among the trees in the distance.

While drinking tea, Xiao Liege said, "Your school is well planned, I like it."

"What do you like?" Zhijing Xue asked with a smile.

"Many places have a sense of vastness, which reminds me of grasslands. Especially in places like this, when you look around, you will have a feeling of high sky and vast clouds."

"Are you homesick?" Xue Zhijing's voice softened, looking at Xiao Liege with distress in his eyes.

Xiao Liege gave her a blank look, "So-and-so doesn't say anything, is home where you are?"

Xue Zhijing sighed, "On the one hand, I hope that I can satisfy your desire to miss the grassland, and on the other hand, I also hope that I can be with you and not be separated."

Xiao Liege took a sip of tea, but didn't speak.

Xue Zhijing suddenly thought of something, "Here is a residential area I built for the gentlemen of the school. They are all small quiet courtyards. You should reserve one for me. If you like the feeling here, you can live in it occasionally. there."

"Do you live too? If you don't live, I won't live."

Xue Zhijing laughed until his shoulders trembled, "So reluctant to part with me? Would you suffer from insomnia without me?"

Just when Xiao Liege was about to ask her what to order, the guy who delivered the food came up.

They are all home-cooked dishes, and there is a stewed radish with mutton.

Xiao Liege picked up a piece of mutton himself, and Xue Zhijing picked up two pieces of radish for her.

"Baby, eat more food, don't get angry."

Xiao Liege glared at her, "Tomorrow I want to eat roast lamb, and I will bring all the students from the polo club to roast together. You are not among the invited ones."

"Ah?" Xue Zhijing pretended to be extremely disappointed, and covered his chest exaggeratedly, "How can this be done, I also want to eat roast lamb, and I want to eat sliced ​​lamb as thin as cicada's wings. .”

Xiao Liege was amused by her performance, and said with a smile, "Okay, this princess bestows on you, you can pour me wine by the side."

Just like that, the two of them finished their dinner.

After dinner, Xiao Liege said that he still wanted to visit the small courtyard that Xue Zhijing mentioned, maybe she would move in one day.

Xue Zhijing naturally let her go, the two of them paced over there, while the guards followed from a distance.

The street lamps throughout the campus were lit. Although the fires were not very bright, they had a special flavor.

The two walked along the well-built road, and met many students along the way, and they all greeted them.

Xue Zhijing suddenly had the feeling of an old university professor walking around the campus at night, he almost put his hands behind his back, then slightly arched his back, and nodded at others.

Xiao Liege was right when he said that she was old-fashioned.

There is a small lake on campus, Xue Zhijing raised his eyebrows, and the two of them turned around and went to the lake.

The lake is really not big, but when the school was built, it was dug deeper, some fish fry were placed, and lotus flowers were planted.

At this time, the sky was too dark to see the fish, only half of the lake was covered by lotus leaves, and lotus flowers could be vaguely seen.

The two sat down on two stones by the lake. In fact, there was a gazebo not far away, and neither of them wanted to go there.

Xue Zhijing picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, vaguely seeing ripples from the stone falling into the water.

"Hey, it's a pity that you can't see fish at night. If you go down this rock during the day, you may see a lot of fish swimming nearby."

"You are bad enough to disturb the fish's sleep at night." Xiao Liege gave her a white look.

Xue Zhijing tilted his head and asked, "Can fish sleep?"
