After listening to the "Three Character Classic" that Zhao Zhen ran over to memorize, Liu Xiuyi did not pick him up as he wished, but asked him to stand up and praised him seriously: "The sixth brother memorized it so well, tell Sister Sù, how many times did Daddy teach you before?"

The princes and daughters of the Song Dynasty called their biological mothers who were concubines their sisters and called the queens Niangniang.

Zhao Zhen tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied crisply: "Three times." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and begged for a hug.

Liu Xiuyi hugged him at this time, and patted his slender hand lightly on his back to show encouragement. There is a big difference between reciting it and listening to it three times, and the wise prince is more worthy of her teaching and the emperor's love.

∈ Changhuai laughed when he heard this: "Our sixth brother is really smart, and he can remember the number of times his father taught." Your future princess will have to choose a good choice, and you must choose a lady who is as smart as you. ”

His previous five sons all died, especially King Zhou, who was born to Queen Guo, who was so smart that he finally grew to the age of nine, and he was gone like that, which is still a pain in his heart.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to Zhao Zhen now, and he will inevitably be strict with his future wife.

↓ When the emperor said this, Liu Xiuyi's lips curled and said with a smile: "Official, the concubine saw a smart enough lady today, but unfortunately she is old and her family background is not enough, otherwise she would be a good candidate." ”

Liu Xiuyi rarely spoke, and the emperor immediately became interested after hearing it, and asked with a smile: "Which family is the lady?" Family background is not a problem, as long as you are talented and have a good temperament, it is enough, and if you are about the same age, you can also consider it." Tell me, what kind of lady can get into your eyes?"

Liu Xiuyi's vision is extremely high, and the emperor has a deep understanding, and every time he sends her something, he has to be so vivid.

"It's the daughter of the new Ministry of Works. Liu Xiuyi smiled softly. The voice of the voice is even softer to the extreme, as if he has only known the emperor for a short time, and he has no majesty when he is outside.

"Wen Chang's daughter, isn't that Xu Liuniang?" The emperor promised Xu a taro because of her disappearance, and the courtiers he valued him had been officials abroad for many years, and now when he returned to the capital, he could only be a small Gongbu Langzhong first......

§ As the color darkens, the palace maid lights up the four corners of the room one by one, and the indoor light is extremely soft.

∈ let people set up a meal, and they wanted to stay here for Liu Xiuyi.

× to Zhao Zhen. has already been carried to Yang Jieyu's residence by the nurse. Although Liu Xiuyi is Zhao Zhen's nominal biological mother. But she was old, so she handed Zhao Zhen over to Yang Jieyu, who was the same sister as her, to raise, and she was not here to eat or sleep on weekdays.

After dinner. The emperor suddenly said: "I have never seen the red plum in the snow in King Ning's mansion. As he spoke, there was a hint of pity on his face.

Liu Xiuyi naturally didn't miss any expression on the emperor's face, and said softly: "The official family is busy with state affairs and worries about the people, so it's okay to go out and have fun for a day when you're tired." ”

"A few years ago, I was annoyed by the imperial history and my ears hurt. In order not to be upset, I can only ......"

∏ some imperial history. He's had enough.

Liu Xiuyi smiled, turned her head and asked the palace maid behind her a few words, the palace maid nodded and went out, and after a while, she came in with a long and narrow box in both hands.

Liu Xiuyi pretended to be mysterious. Let the emperor close his eyes, take out the contents of the box by himself, and slowly unfold it.

"Official. OK. ”

When I opened my eyes on the ∈, I saw a picture of snow.

Dots of red. But it makes people really feel the scene of the first bloom of red plums and the heavy snow pressing down on the branches.

∈ showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Who did it?" He recognized the plum forest in King Ning's mansion and the pavilions on both sides of the plum forest, and knew at a glance that it was painted by the people who admired the plum blossoms today, but who was it that could paint such an image of the scenery, faintly containing an atmosphere that embraced heaven and earth. …

"It's the concubine who told you about the six mothers of the Xu family. Liu Xiuyi asked the emperor to close his eyes in order to create a surprise, but now there is no need to pretend to be mysterious, and directly revealed the identity of the painter.

The reason why the emperor loves Liu Xiuyi so much, who is no longer young, is precisely because she knows how to advance and retreat. Reach for Metu and look closely, nodding from time to time.

Then, Liu Xiuyi briefly talked about the process of promising to make tea and write poems today, waiting for the emperor's evaluation.

Sure enough, after the emperor put Mei Tu down, he immediately asked, "Which one does Xiuyi think Xu Liuniang is the strongest?"

Liu Xiuyi looked at the emperor with a smile, with a knowing expression, her red lips opened lightly, and she spit out a word: "Word." ”

The emperor stroked his palms and praised: "Xiuyi and I really have a heart, those ladies are too visionless, they only read the word but didn't realize that the word is the best." ”

In the eyes of the emperor, the promise of stroking the qin is good because of the profound artistic conception of the song, and the guidance of a mother like Lu Shi, who is good at the piano, and there are many ladies in the capital who are good at the piano.

The tea ceremony is good because of the promise of her background and the fact that she has a very powerful master.

As for Xue Meitu, although it is very expressive, the emperor has also seen a lady of her age make such artistic conceptions in the past.

As for the amazing poems, they may have been prepared in advance.

Only this hearty handwriting is real, he has never seen a lady in the prime of cardamom write such a good hand, not weaker than those conceited courtiers who hand him folds every day.

A twelve-year-old little lady, and a little lady who grew up outside, can write such a good hand, the emperor is a little curious at the moment.

At the same time, it is a pity that the sixth brother is too young, and it is a pity that King Zhou died early.

If King Zhou is still alive, it is exactly the same age as the lady of the Xu family.

The emperor trusted Liu Xiuyi's vision very much, and after listening to her a few words, he thought that the promise was enough to be his daughter-in-law.

Liu Xiuyi once accompanied the emperor to review the chapter, saw Xu Gucheng's handwriting, and said: "The concubine thinks that Xu Liuniang's handwriting is somewhat similar to her father's handwriting. ”

The emperor nodded and agreed with Liu Xiuyi's statement: "Wen Chang's words are excellent, I discovered them a few years ago, I didn't expect his daughter to have such a good hand, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this daughter." Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to teach her how to write.

"Many years ago, when Wen Chang was still in the capital, I tasted the tea he ordered, and it seemed to be better than the people in the palace. If you are bored in a few days, you will announce that the lady of the Xu family will accompany you in the palace for a few days, and taste the tea she ordered by the way. ”

The morning of the second day. The hundred officials learned that the emperor canonized Liu Xiuyi as Concubine Liu De.

This news made them can't help but talk about it when they are on the road.

"Doesn't the official family really want to crown her as the queen?

"She has a son. ”

"Is that her son? don't think she's doing it unknowingly, the walls in the palace are high, but sometimes they are not thick enough to leak ......."

"Shut up quickly, what the officials have promised, it's your turn to say something. ”

Hu Ling picked the warmest time of the day to come to Xu's house to find a promise. When she went to the Hibiscus Pavilion, Mrs. Qiao was teaching Promise to embroider plum blossoms.

Chuntang stands behind the promise. Looking at the clumsy appearance of the promise, he was so anxious that he sweated in the winter.

It wasn't until I saw Hu Ling come in with the curtain lifted that I was relieved and greeted: "Why didn't Hu Sanniang let people ......?"

"It's not about the servants outside. It's me who walked fast, they didn't catch up, don't go and lecture them, I know you are the housekeeper in this courtyard......" Hu Ling said. He took off his cloak and threw it on a hanger, and leaned over to Promise. The word schadenfreude was written all over his face.

It was really hard to learn to be a female worker, but fortunately she didn't listen to her mother. …

Chuntang thought that he would be called a housekeeper, his face turned red with shame, and he took a moment to tidy up the cloak that Hu Ling threw on the hanger. And retreat outside.

Xu Yu put down the needle and thread that had tormented her for a long time, glanced at Hu Ling, and said in a very small voice: "I don't have a wife here." Chuntang is thin-skinned, don't talk to her in a joke tone with me. ”

"Good, good. Don't joke with her, but how did you learn?" After saying this, Hu Lingcai said hello to Qiao Niangzi, but he didn't have the courage to look Qiao Niangzi in the eyes.

In the capital, there are no fewer women like her who can't work women.

In addition to her, only the daughters of those poor people who can't afford needlework don't know how to needlework, and fortunately there is now a Xu Liuniang who works extremely hard in female workers but is at the same level as her.

They really should be friends, otherwise they wouldn't be so unanimously indifferent to the female workers.

Her mother mentioned to her more than once that she wanted to bring Qiao Niangziqin to her home and teach her to get started as a female worker, but she was extremely reluctant to see Qiao Niangzi, as if she would realize that it was embarrassing to be a woman and not a female worker.

Xu promised very embarrassed and said, "Today is still some progress." She glanced at Hu Ling, but she didn't dare to look at Qiao Niangzi's eyes.

After studying for a month, not only did she not make progress, but she regressed, which was a shame, not only a shame for her, but also a shame for Mrs. Qiao.

How could Mrs. Qiao ever teach such a student?

If it weren't for the sake of the promise, Mrs. Qiao would have left long ago.

"I remember you gave me a handkerchief you embroidered, and I asked you for advice at the time, but you never replied to me, so teach me now. Xu Yu suddenly remembered that Hu Ling knew how to embroider.

"Huh?" Hu Ling broke out in cold sweat on her forehead, the handkerchief was given to her by Xiao Yuan, she had never touched this kind of thing at all, and said after a pause: "Qiao Niangzi, I asked Xu Liuniang to play, you are also tired, why don't you come and teach her another day?"

"Good. Qiao Niangzi nodded to the two, cleaned up and got up and left.

After Mrs. Qiao left, Hu Lingcai said, "If you don't deceive you, I won't do it at all." ”

This time it was Xu Xu's turn to be surprised, and looked at Hu Ling suspiciously.

Hu Ling shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It's my second senior brother, he has to ask me to do this......" When he said this, he found that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Xu Yu was even more surprised, she had been curious about Hu Ling's two senior brothers for a long time, and now that second senior brother had actually done such a thing?

He didn't know her, so why did he do it?

Could it be that Hu Ling's second senior brother is someone she knows?

Hu Ling knew that Xu Xu was smart, and hurriedly said: "My second senior brother gave me an idea, let me find someone to embroider a veil and fool my mother." Her head spun quickly, and she hurriedly found a reason, but she also knew that the promise was as smart as a monkey, and she was afraid that it would not be enough. (To be continued)
