Great Zhou Empress

Since running a girls' school, Xue Zhijing has lived a fulfilling life every day.

Just like the empress's evaluation of her before, she is a hard worker and restless.If she doesn't have something meaningful to fill her life every day and just sits leisurely, she will be bored.

She used herself to prove to the world that labor is the essence of human beings.

At the edge of the forest, she led a group of girls to observe the trees. She was not so knowledgeable, and she was not so knowledgeable about botany. She just wanted to increase the children's observation and sensitivity to nature.

Children also like it very much. Anyway, as long as it is outdoor activities, children with lively nature like it.

The Liao king’s family had a great demand for trees, and there were many tree stumps left by logging around. Xue Zhijing invited everyone to come over and observe a tree stump the size of a washbasin.

"Trees have a way to record their age, called annual rings. Every year, the annual rings will add a circle, so that you can see how many years the tree has passed."

Xue Zhijing pointed to the growth rings on the tree stump to show the children. The children may have seen the growth rings of trees before, but they often ignored them.At this time, it was pointed out by Xue Zhijing, and they all stretched out their fingers to count how many rings the tree has.It seems that the annual rings are not observed with eyes, but with fingers.

Only the smartest Zhen Yuan said, "When my elder sister taught me to identify the direction, if you really can't find your way in the forest, you can cut down a tree and look at its annual rings. The place facing the south, because of the sunlight and When there is sufficient rain, the trees will be thicker and their annual rings will be thinner, and the opposite is true in the north."

Xue Zhijing looked at Zhen Yuan with a smile, and praised her, "That's great, that's exactly what it is. Let's take a look, which part of the growth rings of this tree stump points to the south?"

A group of girls squeezed me and squeezed you, talking in a hurry, and many fingers poked on the stake.

"Yes, that's right, everyone did a great job!"

It can be regarded as very interesting. In this first class, more than a dozen girls are lively and active. They also love to scramble for each other on weekdays. It is very lively.

However, Xue Zhijing's calmness and composure can calm them down.

"Apart from age, let's see, is there anything interesting about trees?"

The crowd was talking again and again.

"A tree has bark~"

"The bark is very rough, and some of them will fall off~"

"Some bark can be eaten~"

"You eat bark?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Xue Zhijing stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Is there any more?"

"The trees grow very tall, as if they are fighting for the sun. I think they are fighting for the sun."

Xue Zhijing looked at the girl who said this, not bad, if you can think of this step, then you have the potential to study physics.

"That's a good observation. Apart from this, what else do you observe about the growth of trees?"

……

The children sit on a tree stump and draw with charcoal.

Xue Zhijing asked people to make some small wooden boards as drawing boards, put white paper on them, and draw with charcoal pens.

Just observed the forest and trees, let the children draw a sketch according to their wishes.

It doesn't matter whether the painting is good or not. If there is a good painting, I will add an art teacher to her later. If the painting is not good, it is also a kind of experience and feeling.

Xue Zhijing's philosophy is that people should experience more and feel more. If they have special talents, they should develop them, and if they are interested, they should pursue them.

While painting, Xiao Liege quietly came over with his attendants.

She is the regent princess, and the girls here didn't know her, so they hurriedly greeted her, to the extent that her plan to approach her quietly was in vain.

"Why are you here?" Xue Zhijing stood up and asked her with a smile.

Xiao Liege approached and looked at what Xue Zhijing was also drawing, "Just take a look if you have nothing to do, what did you draw?"

Xue Zhijing's drawing board is not the various trees that the girls next to him are drawing now, but it looks like a city.

However, due to the limited area of ​​the drawing paper, she did not draw the entire city, but only a corner of the tower, half of the street, and some characters.

Xue Zhijing's painting ability is not as good as that of famous masters, but it is far beyond the level of drawing stick figures, with some q-version cuteness.

"It's just drawing casually~" Xue Zhijing didn't think too much, so he answered casually.

But from Xiao Liege's point of view, she seemed to feel that Xue Zhijing was missing something, "Do you want to live in the city? This is very close to Shangjing, someday I will take you to visit Shangjing."

so cute?

She really misses the Dacheng Dynasty and the life in the city. Such a life is a different kind of prosperity and freedom, so she naturally drew such works.But what she misses is a way of life, not the city itself, but Xiao Liege said so, it's all right.

Xue Zhijing smiled, "It's good, but you are so busy with government affairs every day, how can you have time?"

Xiao Liege pouted slightly, "Let Xiao Derui take care of it, anyway, he's old enough to study~"

Xue Zhijing said with a dumbfounded smile, "He is still a child, if you ask him to handle state affairs, even if you dare to let him, he won't dare to accept it."

Xiao Liege shrugged his shoulders, probably knowing that her idea was just an idea, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, when will he grow up~ when will he be able to take charge of the government?"

"There must be a few more years." Xue Zhijing smiled, feeling that Xiao Liege is like an old mother, with a feeling of thinking about the child growing up so that he can let go of the burden, "Would you like to draw pictures for fun?" play?"

With that said, Xue Zhijing's charcoal pencil was already stuffed into Xiao Liege's hand.

But the last time, Xiao Liege was fooled by Xue Zhijing into making a leaf sticker, this time she would not be so easy to fool, she put the charcoal pencil back into Xue Zhijing's hand, "No~ I don't know how to draw~"

Knowing that she is arrogant, Xue Zhijing just needs to coax her more, so this time it is the same, and softly persuaded, "Draw one~ draw me?"

Xiao Liege looked at Xue Zhijing with a strange face, "You want me to draw an ugly monster! I will definitely draw an ugly one."

Xue Zhijing laughed and said, "No matter what you draw about me, I won't laugh, okay?"

At this moment, Zhen Yuan, who was the closest, also noticed the movement of the two of them. She looked at Xue Zhijing, who was as gentle as water, and then at Xiao Liege, who had a troubled face, and inexplicably added a code, "His Royal Highness , you can draw Mr. Jing, we have never seen you draw before~ Students, don’t you think so?”

After Zhen Yuan's words came out, everyone naturally had a mood of watching a good show, and they all encouraged them.

There was no other way, they were all erected, and Xiao Liege had to paint if he didn't paint.

Well, Xiao Liege had no choice but to sit down, Xue Zhijing unfolded a new piece of white paper on the drawing board, and put the charcoal pencil in Xiao Liege's hands, "Look, do you want me to sit there and let you draw?"

Xiao Liege nodded sullenly.

Xue Zhijing sat down on a wooden stake not far from her, straightened his back and faced her, and became a model seriously.

Xiao Liege looked at the pen in his hand, then at the white paper in front of him, and at Xue Zhijing who was not far away. He really felt that her little slave was always challenging him~

But he still has nothing to do with her.

And Xue Zhijing didn't do this intentionally to challenge Xiao Liege, but just felt that when two people were together, there must always be some interesting things to do, such as watching Xiao Liege with a bulging face, doing these things seriously. It's fun to do things that you never do in your daily life.

Xiao Liege was really slow to draw, with a troubled face, Zhen Yuan and other little girls wanted to come and see, but she drove them away~

Finally Xiao Liege clapped his hands and said, "It's done!"

Xue Zhijing hurriedly got up and went to see how Xiao Liege drew her.

As soon as his eyes fell on the white paper, Xue Zhijing couldn't help laughing, what's all this? The face is asymmetrical, the hair is curly, the left and right hands are different in length and thickness, and the neck and waist are as thick.

"Hahaha~"

Xiao Liege pouted and hugged her neck, and said aggressively, "As you said, you are not allowed to laugh no matter what I draw."

"Haha!" Xue Zhijing tried his best to control himself, and even hiccupped because of it, "Okay, I won't laugh~ It's so cute~"

Xue Zhijing took this painting into his pocket again~

Saying that Xiao Liege is an old mother, she also has a feeling of an old mother when she collects all kinds of childish items made by Xiao Liege.

……

In a few days, it will be the most grand festival in the Liao Kingdom - Harvest Festival.

After a summer, the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, isn't it the harvest time for the Liao people~

This festival is equivalent to National Day, and one after another large-scale sports events will be held in the royal court, such as horse racing, archery, wrestling, etc., and various large-scale barbecue banquets will be held consecutively, and there will be singing and dancing parties at the barbecue banquet. It is a good time for boys and girls to contact each other. Every year after the festival, the number of marriages will increase by a large proportion.

Who doesn't like excitement, Xue Zhijing is also very happy.

Xue Zhijing found that the grassland music and dance of the Liao Kingdom are very interesting, with their own national characteristics, and some of them also incorporate the music style of the Western Regions, which sounds ethereal and distant.

Not to mention the tens of hundreds of people dancing hand in hand, the combination of many musical instruments and human voices, rippling on the entire vast grassland, is itself a kind of shock.

The students came over to drag her to dance, Xue Zhijing looked at Xiao Liege, Xiao Liege became the ruler, he still had to maintain his status, he couldn't go around casually, he had to sit upright, Xue Zhijing was not good, so he just left her like this to play.

But even though Xiao Liege pouted slightly, he still waved his hand at her.

Although Xiao Liege trapped Xue Zhijing by his side, worried that she would escape again, but these students were already familiar with him, and Xiao Liege was very relieved of them.

At this time, the students became Xue Zhijing's teachers, taking her to dance Khitan dance steps, teaching her to hum Khitan songs, introducing her to the types of musical instruments, and so on.

The girls didn't learn it on purpose, but they often participated in activities since they were young, and they gradually became familiar with it.

There was a little girl who said that she could also make musical instruments, and she was taught by an old musician. Xue Zhijing was very curious, and asked the other party to teach her someday.

But apart from such collective activities, Xue Zhijing couldn't participate in other activities such as horse racing and wrestling, so he could only watch the fun.

Because those activities that show bravery have always been a game for nobles, Xiao Liege even had to participate in the first game as the ruler.

Xiao Liege is still the fire princess on the grassland, the fiery red clothes are extremely eye-catching on the green field, amidst the galloping horses, she is the leader, just like she is now, as the ruler leading the entire empire continuously Forward.

It's just that the person in the lead is often the target of everyone's criticism, and soon, that arrow that exists all the time hits Xiao Liege.
