Great Zhou Empress

During lunch, Xue Zhijing told Xiao Liege about her eldest nephew.

"His Majesty's aptitude is inferior, and he learns things slower than others, but he also has his own advantages. He has patience and perseverance, and is able to listen to other people's opinions. These can make up for his lack of aptitude. What's more, the old saying has Cloud, the stupid bird will fly first. Give him enough time and space."

Xiao Liege still said dissatisfied, "But he is not an ordinary person. He is the emperor of our Liao Kingdom. When will he grow up slowly and fly slowly? If he is so stupid, he will be eaten to the bone in the future There is nothing left. He has no idea that the entire royal court is surrounded by hunters who are looking at each other. They are all hiding behind smiling faces, waiting for you to show a little fragility before daring to shoot at you. It has been a long time since you waited. cold arrow."

Xue Zhijing looked at her quietly with a smile on his lips.

Xiao Liege muttered, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xue Zhijing said to her seriously, "I know, you are under a lot of pressure sitting in this position~"

The pressure is so great that I will have nightmares at night, and how tense I am mentally.

It was just an expression of empathy, and Xiao Liege began to feel sore.

"Heading a country is not such an easy task. I know that you are under tremendous pressure every day. The reason why you are so anxious about the growth of His Majesty the Emperor is because you are worried that he will not be able to withstand the pressure you are now under in the future." Xue Zhijing said.

Xiao Liege remained silent, Xue Zhijing's words reached the bottom of her heart, the deepest parts that she hadn't figured out yet.

"But there is a way to relax, and it will only backfire if you blindly push the seedlings to encourage growth." Xue Zhijing said.

Observing Xiao Liege's reaction, Xue Zhijing slowly brought the topic to her goal, "Confucius taught students in accordance with their aptitude, because everyone in this world is different and cannot be educated in the same way. Like you, horseback riding and archery are far beyond ordinary people, mutton can be sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wing, and I am better at mathematics and business. We are both so different, let alone those children who are still studying~"

"Then, what method do you have for him, to teach him in accordance with his aptitude?" Xiao Liege's aura had already weakened, and the words he said actually carried a coquettish tone.

Her gaze became cute like a puppy, Xue Zhijing subconsciously wanted to pluck her hair.

But in the end, Xue Zhijing still didn't reach out.

If you don't mean that to others, don't take some intimate actions lightly, it's immoral.

Xue Zhijing took office immediately, and there was another student.

In fact, she can't even be regarded as an official teacher. To the emperor Xiao Derui and the little princess Xiao Ling'er, she is at best a tutor.

Xiao Derui has his own teacher, because he is the emperor, so the cultural class teachers arranged by him are a few courtiers of the Han people, who spend the whole morning teaching, and a few noble children accompany him to class, which can be regarded as accompanying students.

In comparison, Xiao Ling'er is not as good, she goes to school with many noble boys, more like a primary school student.

In the afternoon, Xue Zhijing accompanied Xiao Derui to review his homework for today, and then went to accompany Xiao Ling'er.

Xiao Liege was very busy, but she would usually finish her day's work while Xiao Ling'er was studying, and then pass by without saying a word, Xiao Ling'er once asked curiously why her aunt came every day.

Xiao Liege said, "Don't you wish to see aunt every day?"

She is very good at coaxing children, but she doesn't think about Xiao Ling'er in her heart, she just wants to see Xue Zhijing, which is strange to say, after dealing with the government affairs, she wants to see Xue Zhijing right away, like a grass growing in her heart.

How could Xiao Ling'er understand so many twists and turns, she just felt happy.

Seeing the little emperor Xiao Derui again that day, Xiao Derui saluted Xue Zhijing seriously, called Mr. Jing, and then reported what he had learned today.

I have to say that I have been taught by the Hanchens for so many years. Although my qualifications are mediocre, this kind of etiquette and behavior are very in line with the requirements of Confucian culture.

Seeing that he was about to become a rigid old man, Xue Zhijing said with a smile, "We are not indoors today, let's study outside."

"outdoor?"

Xue Zhijing knows that learning this kind of thing has always required hard work.But things can't go to extremes, too rigid will easily suppress people's creativity and sensitivity.

The emperor of a country cannot be a nerd, he should also have keen insight, and a feeling for all the good things in this world.

So Xue Zhijing took the little emperor to the nearby hillside.

The attendants were patrolling the foot of the hillside, and a group of female slaves helped bring felt blankets, some food and water.

Xue Zhijing called the female slaves to leave, and together with the little emperor, she spread the felt blanket on the ground, put out the food and water, and even put the books aside.

The top of the entire hillside is very open, surrounded by not too tall green grass and some small yellow and white wildflowers, and the trees are farther away.

Xue Zhijing casually pointed to those wild flowers, "Do you know their names?"

Xiao Derui shook his head blankly, "Does Mr. Jing know?"

Xue Zhijing said without embarrassment at all, "I don't know~ But it doesn't prevent us from liking them~ These unknown weeds and wildflowers have great vitality. In this area of ​​Beihai, they may only be available for three months a year. Bloom, but look at them, how tough and tender they grow."

Xiao Derui had never seriously looked at the wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road. Under Xue Zhijing's guidance, he set his sights on these places that can be seen everywhere but are always ignored for the first time.

He gently pinched the petals that were not much bigger than nails, turned his head to Xue Zhijing with some surprise and said, "Mr. Jing, they are so tender to the touch~"

It seems that he has never touched the petals since he was a child.

With a playful heart, Xiao Derui went to touch the weeds again, different grasses will bring different tactile sensations, he will tell Xue Zhijing what the tactile sensations are like after touching them.

Xue Zhijing unknowingly recited a poem he was very familiar with in his previous life, "Liliyuan is on the grass, one year old and one withered and flourishing. The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates."

After reading it, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, and sure enough, Xiao Derui came over with a face full of surprise, "Mr. Jing, you are really amazing, did you make this poem?"

"Uh~ no~ he's a writer from the Central Plains~"

"The Central Plains is full of talents~"

Xue Zhijing was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, this was in the Liao Kingdom, and he was facing a young emperor who hadn't finished his studies. In the future, he couldn't just recite poems in front of people. It would be bad if people thought he wrote it himself.

In such an outdoor environment, Xiao Derui really relaxed a lot. When talking about the "Zuo Zhuan" that he has been studying recently, he even articulated a lot more clearly.

This also confirmed Xue Zhijing's judgment on him, such a child actually thinks more than he talks, and he needs to be given time and opportunity before he can really express it.

At this time, a group of people galloping over was seen from a distance, led by a girl who was dressed delicately.

They got off their horses on the hillside, and the girl came straight up.

Xiao Derui was taken aback when he saw her, and even dodged in his eyes.

"Emperor~ you are here~"

"Yeluyan, what are you doing here?"

The person who came was Yelu Hongyi's daughter, that is, the member of the Yelu family who was divided and attracted by Xiao Liege. In order to win over each other, Xiao Liege and Yelu Hongyi decided to let the two families get married. She is the future queen of the Liao Kingdom.

However, it is still in the state of engagement, and no canonization ceremony has been held.

Yeluyan is 16 years old this year, and she is slightly taller than Xiao Derui. She should have grown up pampered since she was a child, so she not only looks good, but also has a high-spirited aura.

"I wanted to tell you a long time ago, I won't marry you~"

Xiao Derui's chubby little face was puffed up, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, he just looked at her fixedly, and only after a long time could he say, "This is what my aunt decided~"

Hearing Xiao Derui talking about his aunt, Yeluyan showed a strange expression, and finally snorted coldly, "Anyway, no matter what, I won't marry you, remember it."

Yeluyan's tone was too arrogant, the young Xiao Derui couldn't bear it, he felt that every word of the other party was humiliating him, he said with a straight neck, "I am the emperor, it is decided that you will marry me, you must marry me~"

Come to think of it, in the eyes of Yelu's family, the 14-year-old little emperor has no authority at all. How could the domineering lady be frightened by him, and she was even more angered when she heard this.

The little girl stepped forward and pushed Xiao Derui, causing the little chubby who had just stood up to fall backwards and fell to the ground.

She also wanted to step forward and slap Xiao Derui, which was a bit too much, Xue Zhijing stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

From Xue Zhijing's point of view, this is basically a fight between two middle school students, and currently Xiaopangdun is still in a state of being beaten by one side.

"Who are you?" Yeluyan struggled for a while, but didn't break away, tilting her head and staring at Xue Zhijing angrily, "You don't care about me~"

The little emperor over there has already stood up, Xue Zhijing firmly grasped Yeluyan's wrist, "Apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"I don't!" Yeluyan used some strength and finally broke free from Xue Zhijing's hand, pulled out the horsewhip around his waist and hit Xue Zhijing just like that.

Xue Zhijing took two steps back, barely dodging her whip.

The other party snorted coldly, "Huh~ Overthinking one's abilities~"

As she said that, she drew her whip again. After Xue Zhijing dodged twice, she grabbed it and pulled it from the opponent's hand with a little strength.

"Hey, give it back to me~"

There should be some bruises on the palm, Xue Zhijing clenched his fist, and threw the whip back to Yeluyan, "If you are not willing to agree to this marriage, please go and tell your father and the princess about it, what's the point of bullying the emperor?" ability~"

"I want you to take care of it, but my father doesn't take care of me."

After finishing speaking, Yeluyan ran away angrily, Xue Zhijing turned to look at the little emperor, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The little emperor pursed his lips tightly and shook his head.

All the way back to the Wang Tent, Xue Zhijing thought, he should go to Xiao Liege's female slave to get some wound medicine, although the scratch is nothing serious, but after all it was pulled by the horsewhip, it would be bad if it was infected by bacteria.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the voice of the domineering lady through the door curtain.

"Xiao Liege, I don't want to marry that little fat man, I want to marry you!"

Xue Zhijing: "..."
