Great Zhou Empress

After lunch, Xiao Liege started busy with government affairs, receiving ministers and processing documents.

Xue Zhijing and several female slaves were driven out of the tent, and she chatted casually with others.

Because she was the slave girl who served Xiao Liege, she was equivalent to a top court lady in the Dacheng Dynasty, so she also deliberately learned Chinese, so there was no problem in communication between the two sides.

Although they are female slaves, they are not stupid, and they can see that Xiao Liege treats Xue Zhijing differently, so they are very polite to Xue Zhijing.

While chatting, Xue Zhijing also knew their stories. They were regarded as slaves for generations, maybe their ancestors were members of some tribe, but because there were no genealogical records, they couldn't remember clearly. They only knew that they were born as slaves.

Then came to the princess's side, and then to now.

"Since the princess became regent, she has been living very hard. I seldom see her smile," said a mature and stable female slave. ,We also have to ride horses occasionally. At that time, she was so happy and carefree. Now, except for the horse riding competition after the banquet, I rarely see her riding a horse. She is like a Han Chinese every day. Except for dealing with government affairs read."

From Xue Zhijing's position, they could see people entering and leaving Xiao Liege's tent.

In such a short period of time, there were waves of people coming in and out.

Perhaps it was because the royal courts of the Liao Kingdom were all tents, so that Xue Zhijing mistakenly thought at first that everyone here was just living here as if they were leisurely and traveling, but forgot that this was a place no less than the Dacheng Dynasty. The administrative center of the country.

Xiao Liege at this time is the Empress Empress of the Dacheng Dynasty, and the responsibilities, pressures, and tasks they have to bear should be the same.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhijing felt a little distressed.

Xiao Liege is just a talented young girl, to take on such a big country, and entrust her youth to that party's affairs, it should be quite an difficult process.

The female slaves also invited Xue Zhijing to drink milk tea in their tent.

Their tents are much smaller and there are no partitions inside. It is said that more than a dozen people will live in them. The whole tent can be packed during the day and they can eat, drink tea and chat, and they can sleep with a blanket at night.

He drank until half the afternoon, looking at the time, he should be going to Xiao Linger's place.

Yesterday, Xiao Liege promised Xiao Ling'er that Xue Zhijing would accompany her to study homework for an hour every day, depending on the time, Xiao Ling'er should be out of class now.

The two female slaves accompanied Xue Zhijing to Xiao Ling'er's place, they were ordered by Xiao Liege to follow her anytime and anywhere.

Xiao Ling'er was very happy to see her, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

"What did the teacher teach today?" Xue Zhijing and Xiao Ling'er are very familiar, so when they speak, they are also familiar.

Xiao Ling'er took out the "Thousand-Character Essay" she could read and said, "I'm still learning "Thousand-Character Essay" today, and everyone else has started to learn "The Book of Songs". The teacher said I still can't read all the characters, so let me read more Words. Hey, am I very stupid?"

Xue Zhijing looked at this child with some sympathy. In modern times, she is only a second grader in elementary school, but she is just a little slow in language learning. Slow language learning means slow recognition of characters naturally.

But people are afraid of comparison, and the children around them learn faster, so she naturally feels pressured.

Sitting beside Xiao Ling'er, Xue Zhijing held her shoulders and said softly, "No, you just need more time to study. Look, do some of the trees in the forest outside grow taller? Some grow low, all trees are like this, not to mention people. It is impossible for everyone to learn things equally fast, some people are slow and some people are fast, right?"

Xiao Ling'er is still at an age who vaguely knows that being fast is good and being tall is good.However, what Xue Zhijing taught her was that there are thousands of differences in the world, and it is not the truth that being fast or tall is good.

Competition can be stressful, especially for less talented kids.

Xue Zhijing has already seen through the essence of competition, which can promote human progress, but please don't be trapped by it.

Then life would not be free.

After coaxing for a while, Xiao Ling'er finally became happy.

Her female slave brought freshly brewed milk tea, and Xiao Ling'er asked Xue Zhijing to drink it with her.

While drinking, Xiao Ling'er said, "Xiao Jing, there is a sentence in "Thousand Characters" that I don't quite understand."

"Which one?"

"This sentence is like Lan Sixin, like a pine tree." The teacher said, it means that it is as fragrant as an orchid, and as lush as a pine tree. I know the pine tree, there are everywhere in the forest outside, and it can grow tall or big. I can think of that image at a glance. But what is an orchid? I seem to have never seen it before." Xiao Ling'er asked in a daze.

"Orchid?" Xue Zhijing was slightly taken aback, the image of orchid appeared in his mind, the little princess didn't know?

I suddenly remembered that orchids are plants from the south. Due to the planting technology in this era, there are very few plants that are against the climate, unless members of the royal family and aristocrats specially spend a lot of effort to plant them.

Therefore, Xue Zhijing described the appearance of orchids to her intimately.

"Green, long leaves, spread out to both sides~"

Just as he was talking, Xiao Liege opened the door curtain and walked in.

After finishing the government affairs, she asked about Xue Zhijing's whereabouts, the female slave said that she came to Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Liege came here without thinking.

Xiao Ling'er greeted her and said, "Aunt~"

Xiao Liege pretended that she was just casually looking around, waved her hand to Xiao Linger and said, "You follow your example, leave me alone~"

Xue Zhijing also greeted her, "Your Highness Princess~"

Xiao Liege glanced at her, sat down on the felt blanket beside her, and continued to flip through the "Warring States Policy" she had been reading recently.It's just that although her eyes fell on the book, her attention was still on Xue Zhijing and Xiao Ling'er in the middle of the room.

"Plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are the four most important plants for literati in the Central Plains. Plum blossoms are noble and aloof, orchids are elegant and ethereal, green bamboos are modest and restrained, and chrysanthemums are cold and noble. They are called the 'Four Gentlemen', a kind of noble A sign of quality."

Xiao Ling'er heard it even more ignorantly.

Xue Zhijing sighed slightly. These images are actually related to the products of the Central Plains. For the children in the northern grasslands, these four plants are objects that rely purely on imagination.

Xiao Ling'er didn't understand, but Xiao Liege did.

In the short encounter two years ago, Xiao Liege actually didn't know what kind of person Xue Zhijing was. The time they spent together was too short, and Xue Zhijing left her only purely spiritual qualities such as firmness, stubbornness, and cunning.

And what she likes, what she knows, what she cares most about, Xiao Liege doesn't know anything.

This time, seeing her teaching Xiao Ling'er so tenderly, Xiao Liege's whole mind was captured by her.

She is like the deepest starry sky in the night, as if it contains the stars all over the sky. The deeper you look, the more you feel that the deep space is far away, which is fascinating.

"Where's Mulan?"

"Magnolia is another kind of flower, pink and white, extremely beautiful, as pure as spring water."

"White? Is there milk white?"

"That's different, it's a kind of white that people want to take care of when they see it."

"I know that there used to be General Hua Mulan in the Wei Dynasty. It is said that she is of the same family as us~" Xiao Ling'er said suddenly.

The Khitan nationality originally belonged to a branch of the Xianbei nationality, and the Wei Dynasty was a multi-ethnic country established by the Xianbei nationality.

Xue Zhijing was not particularly clear about it, but after hearing it mentioned by Yuan Jin who admired Hua Mulan, he told Xiao Linger what Yuan Jin had said, "General Hua Mulan is from the Xianbei tribe, and the Wei Dynasty was a multi-ethnic country. It is said that the Wei Dynasty All the Xianbei people in North Korea are military households, men have been in the army for generations, and General Hua Mulan's father is old and disabled, and there is only one way to die if he goes to the battlefield again, so she disguised herself as a man and joined the army instead of her father."

Seeing Xiao Ling'er looking at her with extremely expectant eyes, Xue Zhijing said a few more words, "General Hua Mulan is just like her name, she has a very pure heart, she has extraordinary perseverance and tenacity, from a Xiaobing has grown into a generation of famous generals, leaving behind a legend that can be passed down for thousands of years."

Not only Xiao Ling'er looked at Xue Zhijing motionlessly, Xiao Liege had already completely skipped the books in front of her, being completely attracted by Xue Zhijing.

Xue Zhijing patted Xiao Ling'er's head presumptuously, "I have a friend who has idolized General Hua Mulan since she was a child, and she is not the best academically, but she is firm enough, and she doesn't always know what to say. It is through repeated grinding, and with strong perseverance and persistence, I have polished myself into a sharp sword."

I hope this encouragement can be useful to Xiao Ling'er.

Xiao Liege beside him asked, "Who is she?"

Xue Zhijing heard the sound and looked over, and said to Xiao Liege, "My friend? Yuan Jin~"

Xue Zhijing wasn't sure if Xiao Liege knew her, but given Yuan Jin's current position as the commander of Xiongzhou, Xiao Liege should have gotten information from her.

After saying Yuan Jin's name, Xiao Liege's face sank immediately.

There was a sour feeling in her heart, and the anger towards Xue Zhijing rose again.

Yuan Jin?Yuan Jin?

When talking about Yuan Jin, why is she so full of emotion, she seems to be adored, and she has a "sharp sword", hum~

Xiao Liege once confronted Yuan Jin briefly, and had never met a real person, but he knew that the other party was a difficult opponent.The last time she went to Bianjing City, she avoided Yuan Jin's army, but was still chased by him from behind.

If there is no Yuan Jin, she can besiege the capital of Bianjing openly, she doesn't believe it, after besieging it for more than half a year, the city of Bianjing will not collapse?

This guy turned out to be Xue Zhijing's favorite friend~

On the way back, Xiao Liege had a stinky face, and Xue Zhijing felt something was wrong.

Even though he was fine just now, he was still talking to himself, why did he suddenly get angry?

That look of glaring at each other was so obvious that Zhijing Xue had to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Liege is such a proud person, how could she say that she is jealous of Xue Zhijing's liking for Yuan Jin, but she was not very happy without saying anything, so she blurted out, "Hmph~ Who told you to teach Ling'er to read so gently?" ~"

Xue Zhijing: "..."
