The stalemate in the main hall continued, and just as I was thinking about how to speak, and secretly wondering whether I should really compromise first and then plan later, Hongday's childish voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.

"Emperor Ama, when his son was studying recently, he learned a sentence 'the elder gives it, but he is disrespectful', the son is stupid and only understands the meaning of the first half of the sentence, but he does not understand the second half of the sentence, can you ask the emperor Ama to teach. ”

When I heard Hongtian read out this sentence aloud, I couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly looked up at my son who stood up and asked for advice with a respectful face, and faintly pinched a sweat for him to open his mouth at this time.

This passage should have been originally from the "Chang Li Ju Yao" written by Li Bingnan during the Republic of China, not a sentence that should have appeared in this period. It's just that when Hongzhi was a child, I often took it out to teach him the etiquette and filial piety of dealing with people, and over time he wrote it down. When he was older, he asked me the origin of this statement, and I was prevaricated by the common saying of the common people, but I did not expect him to ask his emperor father at this time as a sentence learned in the book.

How could Hongday's mind not know the meaning of these words, obviously he also saw the dilemma I was facing at this time, and had the intention to ease the atmosphere, on the one hand, let me avoid direct-for-tat confrontation with Concubine Qi, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use Yinzhen's explanation to resolve the deadlock at this time. It's just that Jun's heart is unpredictable, and he stood up to save the scene so abruptly, and I don't know if it will make Yinzhen unhappy. For a while, I didn't know whether to be moved by the child's intimacy, or to complain about the child's recklessness.

Yin Zhen looked at his little son, who he had loved very much since he was a child, the gloomy look on his face eased a little, his eyes swept over me who was still silent, and after a moment of silence, a light smile appeared on his face, his eyes were full of love, and he said loudly: "This is to say that the elderly are respected, and when there is a gift to the younger generation, the younger generation cannot refuse it." Although it may feel inappropriate to accept it, it is disrespectful to the elderly if it is not accepted. Therefore, as a junior, the kindness of the elders should be accepted whether they like it or not. As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first, and I rule the world with filial piety in the Qing Dynasty, and all children should be cautious and not violated. ”

Yinzhen's words were an explanation of Hongday's question, but the meaning of the explanation also gave Hongday face and resolved my dilemma. The last sentence also implies a warning to everyone not to do anything from this again.

Hongtian pushed the boat down the river and showed a smile that suddenly opened up to show that he had been taught, and thanked: "Son Xie Huang Ama solves his doubts, strictly follows the teachings, and does not dare to disobey." ”

Most of the people also heard the deep meaning, and after the Hongtian should be reconciled, they got up together and said "Emperor Shengming".

Yin Zhen smiled and nodded slightly, and once again glanced at me without a trace, and the many deep meanings in this eye made me breathless. Before I had time to think deeply, I heard him say, "My son teaches well. ”

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he turned his head sideways and said to the Wulanala clan on the side: "Yu Concubine's hairpin looks really old, and I will let the queen help pick some new ones to replace them." ”

When the Ulanala clan heard this, a look of clarity appeared on their faces, and they gladly responded without saying anything. The family banquet in the main hall resumed laughter and laughter, even if everyone knew that there was a lot of open and secret fighting behind this happiness, but no one broke it again, and did not dare to break it, leaving only the black-faced Li family glaring at me and Hongday viciously, with a heart full of resentment I don't know what they were thinking.

After the family banquet, everyone sent the emperor and queen off the table and went back to the palace to rest and rest, and later they had to go to the opera and eat tea, and then wait for the banquet in the evening.

Walk with Qian on the palace road back to the dormitory. Qian Shixiao looked at Hongyang and said to me: "Fortunately, this kid is clever today, otherwise he would have made the Li family proud." ”

Listening to his mother praise Hongday, Hongli said with a smile on the side: "I wanted to get up first to help my aunt out of the siege, but I was stopped by Hongday, he said that if I open my mouth and fight with Concubine Qi, I am afraid it will be more difficult for Huang Ama's side, and I am afraid that it will not end well, but it will make my aunt embarrassed, so I have to endure not to speak, but I didn't mean to watch someone bully my aunt and stand by." ”

"Thanks to Hongyang's stopping, you kid is in a hurry, and I'm afraid it will really be bad when I open my mouth. Qian knew his son's temperament, and said with a doting smile.

"My aunt knows that you won't sit idly by, it's good to have this heart. Seeing that Hongli was a little depressed because his mother was also counting the bad things that would happen, I couldn't help but chuckle. With Hongli's current temperament, what he said just now was not hypocritical and polite, and he was really moved to be able to turn to himself, so he took Qian's words and said a word of relief.

After saying the words of relief, I thought about it, restrained my smile, and said solemnly to the two children: "But Hongli did the right thing today, Hongli, you really shouldn't speak, it's not that I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry, but that your identity is not suitable." You must know that Concubine Qi has a Hongshi who is older than all of you. If you are against her today, what you know is that you defend me, and if you don't know, you are afraid that you will speculate on some great disrespect. This is the most fatal, you must know how difficult it is for your emperor Ama to come to this position, what is the most taboo now, needless to say, you should also understand in your hearts. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Hongtian to come forward at this time, even if he is wrong, at most, he will be regarded as a little or not a more thing, because of the recklessness of the mother's heart, which can be regarded as filial piety and virtue, rather than ulterior motives. Now the identities of the two of you are different from when you were in the Hidden Mansion, you have to pay attention to what you say and do, and don't tell the truth, especially Hongli, do you understand?"

When Qian heard me say this, the smile on his face was also stained with a touch of sadness, and he sighed: "I thought that I was already working step by step when I was in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be even more difficult now, and I don't know when this kind of day will be the end." ”

Qian's temperament is too weak, and now her mother is sitting on the concubine seat with her son, on an equal footing with Li's, it seems that she is infinitely beautiful, but in fact, I am afraid that only she knows the pressure on her body. If it weren't for me always supporting her and helping her block those open guns and arrows, it would be difficult for her to live a stable life in this deep palace alone.

"You should understand by now what I've done all these years, isn't it just to stop living this kind of frightened and fearful life in the future. It's just that some things can't be rushed, but I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future. Since we are destined to be unable to escape in this life, we can only face it and have no choice. I took Qian's hand and said this to her with a smile, showing a smile that reassured her.

"Auntie's teachings, Hongli knows, and he will definitely think twice before doing things in the future. "Hongli didn't understand what I said to Qian, but he understood my previous warning.

"Eniang, my son will also be careful in the future. Hongtian also obediently agreed.

Qian and I watched the two precocious and sensible children exchange a relieved look with each other, and stopped continuing these troublesome topics, supporting each other and laughing and moving on.
