Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

In a flash of time, it entered March, and everything in the world began to recover. The trees in front of the courtyard sprouted new green buds and bloomed in large areas.

After working hard for half a month, Si Qi finally got some clues.

In addition to cataloging the books according to Liu Yun's request, Si Qi also found a few books describing the techniques of wine making in ancient times. Combining some improved wine making techniques of later generations, it is obviously not difficult to make some fragrant, mellow and delicious high-grade liquor.

While Si Qi was trying to write down the specific steps of wine making in notes for future use, Zhuhong came in from the outside and said that the people in the palace had found Mrs. Tai, and His Majesty wanted to invite the young lady into the palace to talk.

Si Qi frowned.

There was no friendship between her and Liu Xie, but they had a few encounters when they met with her father in the past.

The two were not familiar with each other at all, and the relationship between them was just an ordinary relative who met and said hello on the ordinary road, let alone talking.

It sounds strange that the emperor called her into the palace to chat. Now that the emperor has lost power, her father is doing well in the court. If she plays tricks and doesn't want to enter the palace, just ask Mrs. Zhang to think of an excuse to refuse the visitor That is.

Si Qi put down the pen in his hand and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Now that the battle situation is unclear, more than half of the people in the clan are willing to make friends with Liu Yun. Now it is not Liu Yun who sticks to Liu Xie, but Liu Xie sticks to Liu Yun. In other words, Liu Xie is very useful to Liu Yun, his uncle. , I think Liu Xie will not do any drastic actions.

The palace made it clear that they wanted to show their favor to their family, and everyone was real relatives, so it didn't seem like that kind of thing to always stay away from the emperor and empress couple once or twice.

Si Qi let go and agreed.

"Sister, wait a moment, let me wash my face and change into my clothes before I go."

In Yinghua Hall, Liu Xie sat crookedly on his seat, flipping through a medical book in boredom.

Although what he does every day has nothing to do with diligent government and loving the people, Liu Xie doesn't feel guilty at all.

It's not that he, the emperor, is lazy and doesn't care about government affairs, but that the memorials he has painstakingly reviewed are useless, and his decisions are only his own decisions. After leaving the Yinghua Palace, he is nothing. Listen to Sikong's arrangement.

Since he knew it was futile, why did he bother to review those official documents?

If you can't live with others, you can't live with yourself. It's better to read a few idle books to feel at ease.

But today, after the queen said that Cao Cao forced Siqi to worship Guo Jia as his teacher, Liu Xie suddenly had an urge to have a good talk with Siqi.

The matter of going to Prince Li's mansion to invite people went smoothly, and after about half an hour, Si Qi was brought to the Yinghua Palace by the maid.

The winter in Xudu this year is much later than in the past. It is already March, but the weather is still inseparable from the temperature in spring.

Liu Xie saw that Si Qi was wearing thin clothes, and the cloak was only made of ordinary spring silk, so he asked someone to serve Si Qi a cup of sweet soup.

After Si Qi saluted Liu Xie, he was seated aside by Liu Xie.

The waiter serving at the side presented a silver bowl to Si Qi, Si Qi drank the sweet soup in the bowl and put it on the plate brought by the waiter.

Seeing Si Qi's well-behaved appearance, Liu Xie felt more and more emotional.

His little cousin has a calm and stable temperament, but she is only seven years old, and she is already very prominent among the group of cousins.

It's a pity that Si Qi, like him, was born at the wrong time, just born in this era of the decline of the Han Dynasty, so he had to be reduced to an object and tool for others to control power just like him.

Now Guo Jia and others control Siqi to let the emperor do things for them, just like Cao Cao controlled him, the emperor, to order the princes.

Although Guo Jia and others are kind to her now, it is only temporary and has nothing to do with sincerity.It would not be long before Si Qi could escape the same fate as him.

Liu Xie sat on the top and didn't speak, but just stared at Si Qi with his eyes. Si Qi sat on the bottom and didn't dare to move or make a sound.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xie ended his thinking alone, and said to Si Qi: "I heard that you have joined Mr. Guo Jia Guo and been his female disciple for more than a month, but there are indeed other thing?"

Liu Xie put on a posture that he wanted to have a good chat with Si Qi, but Si Qi didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Xie sold in the gourd, so he simply answered "yes".

Because of Si Qi's "yes", Liu Xie felt a lot of emotions in vain.

Si Qi, as the daughter of the imperial uncle's family, thought he was the same as him and most of the Han clansmen. She had a good opinion of Cao Cao and others, but now she had to commit herself to Guo Jia's family to follow the orders of one of Cao Cao's subordinates. headache.

The emperor's uncle was really kind to him, and now that his younger brother's younger sister is having trouble, Liu Xie is also willing to enlighten him as someone who has been there: "We are all the same people, and I know that your life is not easy. In the past, I was a little overwhelmed, and it was inevitable that I would suffer a lot, but later I thought about it, and often enlightened myself, and my life became much easier."

Si Qi: ...

Liu Xie said a bunch of things before and after, if you can sum it up in vernacular, it is "I understand you, we are the same people".

Si Qi didn't expect that Liu Xie invited her today because he thought they were in the same situation, and they should have a lot of topics to talk about, and maybe they could talk about how they couldn't help themselves these days, "in Cao Ying and in Han" experience.

Si Qi understands the emperor's desire to seek a sense of identity very well, but she really has limited experience in this regard, and it is difficult for her to stand on a united front with the emperor.

Liu Xie saw Si Qi bowed his head and said nothing, thinking that he had hit on her sad story, he hurriedly spoke again to comfort him: "My sister, don't be sad, everything in the world is like this. For example, the tide rises and falls, like the bright moon , There are rounds and gaps. Although the Han Dynasty is not comparable to the past, but the general trend is the same, the little sister still has to take care of her family, take care of herself, and don't have to lose her temper and go head-to-head with those people."

Si Qi didn't expect that Liu Xie, who usually kept quiet under Cao Cao's nose, was such a chatterbox.

Although Liu Xie spoke sincerely, Si Qi couldn't empathize with her.

Although she has been traveling for seven years, she is still a thoroughly modern person in her bones. She doesn't have much thought about the sense of belonging to the Han family and clan, even if her royal status is offended.

Having said that, he still had to put on a show to Liu Xie.

Si Qi raised his head and spoke back to Liu Xie, trying to make his voice sound very sincere: "Your Majesty has a world-wide heart and an open mind, which is admirable."

Liu Xie was praised and became more and more happy.

After so many years, he finally found a person who was born in the Han Dynasty and was in a situation similar to his own.

As an ancestor, he is the most able to understand the doorway here. In the future, he can take care of each other without saying anything, and he can take care of each other when they are together. There is also hope for this day.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie became more and more amiable towards Si Qi: "Is Ah Ying still free at home these days? Seeing that it will be Lixia soon, and the summer is long. If you are bored at home, you can come to the palace and spend time with the queen." It's good to relax and talk to me. I usually regard the emperor's uncle as a close relative and elder, just like in the past. Without a caring brother or sister, you and I should go back and forth frequently."

Si Qi replied honestly: "Father has arranged an errand for the past few days and asked me to help sort out the books in the house. Although I am busy, I have learned a lot. I am planning to learn from the ancestors to brew some new wine. Nearly two I am afraid that the moon will not be free."

The children of the royal family are different from ordinary people, especially the children like Si Qi who grew up in Prince Li's Mansion, they are probably more intelligent than others.

"I didn't expect my sister to have such a sense of elegance." Liu Xie said with interest: "After the matter is completed, remember to send me a jar to taste."

The emperor, who originally spoke with bitterness and hatred, became visibly brighter when he heard that Si Qi was going to make wine.

Si Qi was instantly moved by Liu Xie's optimism.

Anyway, the emperor is a good man, even if he is a puppet emperor, he is also a puppet emperor with a good attitude and high quality.

Si Qi readily agreed.

It was only when Liu Yun returned to the mansion the next afternoon that he heard that Si Qi had been called to the palace by Liu Xie.

After hearing the news, Liu Yun hurried to Zhang Shi's side without leaving his study, and was relieved when he saw Si Qi sitting beside Zhang Shi, eating snacks and chatting with Zhang Shi.

Since the incident happened in the first month, the imperial palace has become a real place of right and wrong. The emperor suddenly called the young girl into the palace for an audience. Although nothing happened, it is scary to think about it.

Liu Yun sat down and asked about Siqi's entry into the palace in detail, and he was relieved when he learned that Liu Xie was really just grateful for his life experience, had a simple chat with Siqi, and did not have any other messy things.

The situation in Xu Capital City is special now, I am sandwiched between the two forces, and the children in the mansion must be extra careful.

Siqi's mother, Xun Yue, was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan. She was a descendant of Xunzi, a great Confucian during the Warring States period. She was born as a girl in Prince Li's mansion. Compared with the status of the two elder brothers, she was indeed more conspicuous and needed to be treated with more care.

Si Qi is now seven years old, and she is considered an older child. It is time to pick a group of guards for her to accompany her.

It's just that this guard is not an ordinary servant, so he must be selected carefully.Skills must be good, appearance must be upright, and more importantly, character is precious, and there must be no difference.

Just as Liu Yun's thoughts were drifting away, Ah Qing, the maid in the study in the front yard, sent an invitation.

The tenth day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of the old lady of the Xun family.The Xun Mansion sent invitations ahead of time, and the third lady from the mansion would be specially sent to invite the young lady to go to her grandfather's house to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

When Liu Yun received the invitation and hadn't made a statement yet, Mrs. Zhang at the side was the first to stop him: "This can't be done!"
