38. Warm soup

In the first few days of Wei Huan's entry into the palace, I was as excited as a little girl who had just entered school and made new friends. If she is there, I will get up quickly, never be lazy, if she is not there, I will also get up quickly, and then rush to her residence behind her, make her trouble; when I go to Zhu Jingdian to go to class, I want to ask Wei Huan to accompany me in the side, and when I meet words I don't understand, I refuse to ask the master and the attendants, only ask Wei Huan; even the polo that I have never loved has become quite attractive, sometimes Wei Huan just glances at Li Rui who passes by with the ball equipment, and I will immediately turn the direction and ask someone to quickly take something and call friends to play ball.

Compared with me, Wei Huan seemed to be more interested in the people around me - on the first day of entering Penglai Temple, she memorized the twenty or so people in the hall who were often in front of me, and the next day, she gave her the food I gave her to a group of palace people who were often on duty at my door at night, and on the third day, she quietly helped Wang Xu to improve the article I asked them to draw up (this is what Yang Niangzi told me later), and when I asked her opinion, she praised Song Foyou's talent in a timely manner.

I am not Mu Shi, I am vaguely aware of the means and purposes of her doing these things, while admiring her city in my heart, I think about it, and I feel that what my mother said at the beginning is very right: Although Wei Huan is smart, he is indeed too sharp, and he has only been here for a few days, and he has made such an exquisite appearance, if I were her peer, I must be very disgusted with her at this moment. I feel that I need to remind Wei Huan, but every time the words come to my mouth, I don't know how to say it - my mother's intention to summon her into the palace, even I am vaguely aware of it, Wei Huan is so smart, I am a little, she can react immediately, and then she doesn't dare to resent her mother, but hates me, but what should I do?

I admit that I was selfish, but Wei Huan was the first friend I had met in my twelve years here that I wanted to make serious friends, and I didn't want her to hate me for such reasons.

For a few more years, I comforted myself in this way, and then swallowed the advice I was about to utter alive, pressed it into the deepest part of my stomach, and covered it with food, lest it accidentally come out of my throat and easily ruin my fragile friendship.

After more than a month of embarrassment, my enthusiasm for Wei Huan finally quickly diminished, and my relationship with her gradually became only one day from day and night to three meals a day. When we met, they just said some clichés such as "how is today", and sometimes they didn't even say anything, so they had to keep bringing her food.

Since the rules have been set in my temple, although the atmosphere is not clear, it is much better than before.

In the past, my money and things were called Xiaolang to collect, take with the flowers, there was no number, and then let Yang Niangzi manage, she was not careful, valuables are okay, the number of money is not right, and I am obviously a very favored princess, with such and such rewards and food income, living in the palace, and do not have to use their own money, but every time in the big money in the pocket, it is also a miracle. Feeling this, I set up the rules of registering the entry and exit of property, keeping the keys by two people, guarding the account books and the treasury, checking and counting regularly, and holding everyone accountable according to their respective positions.

I wanted to investigate, so I specially asked Wei Huan if he saw which people, but Wei Huan ridiculed me, and I was only ashamed of it, until many days later, I understood the deep meaning of Wei Huan's words at that time: no matter how unhappy these people are, as long as they don't violate my rules, I can't do anything with them at all, otherwise they won't be the faint master who slanders and condemns people, and no matter how unhappy they are, as long as I am determined to set the rules, they can't do anything about me, after all, I am the master, they are servantsThere is no change in power and power - this is the way of snakes and rats, each with its own way.

Although Wei Huan was hypocritical to those people outside, she was still willing to tell me the truth, and once she told me that the Yang lady I had always trusted was actually not as caring for me as she seemed. This nurse, who brought me up from childhood, deliberately cut off my relationship with other people,

At these times, I don't know if it's because I always go to class with Wan'er, or because of Wei Huan's reminder, I gradually realized a lot of truths that I didn't understand or half-understood before, but the more I understood these, the more I admired them were not these two peers who were as old as me but much more mature than me, but my father and mother.

Think about it, I just occupy a small palace, and I have a hundred and ten retinues, these people are relatively old and reliable people who have been carefully selected by my parents and the palace and the two provinces of the inner servants, and they are already so difficult to discipline, my father and mother, to take care of this huge empire, and still arrange everything in an orderly manner, I don't know what kind of arms and wrists are needed? My father was born as a prince, and he grew up in the center of this empire, from childhood to adulthood, countless good ministers and virtuous people around him taught and assisted, and it is reasonable to be able to make the emperor like this, like his mother, he struggled step by step, but he didn't know what kind of talent he had to have, and what kind of effort he had to pay?

The autumn of the eleventh year of Lin De passed slowly, and in winter, the wedding of the crown prince, which had been delayed for a long time, was finally completed, and the crown prince Li Sheng, who was confined to study in the East Palace, was finally appointed to supervise the repair of the Luozhou Palace.

Li Rui, who had recently been renamed the king of Ji, was given the title of Thousand Households because the army that conquered Tibet fought one or two small victories, and was sent to preside over the revision of the "Theory of Filial Piety". This book was proposed by Xu Jingzong to be repaired, and he meant that there was a drought this year, and it was all due to the declining trend of the world and the people's hearts. In order to show the morality and righteousness, it is better to publish a book to the world that collects the deeds of all virtuous people throughout the ages, so as to set an example for the world. And the so-called virtuous people, the first thing is filial piety, so this book is called "Filial Piety", and it must be cultivated by a person who is high and powerful, and at the same time is not very old, the best candidate is the son of the two saints today, the brother of the prince, and Li Rui, the king of Ji.

This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, of course, my father and mother could not disagree with such a meaningful thing, and my mother also ordered the opening of the Guangwen Museum in addition to the Hongwen Museum, and selected 300 bachelors to study from Li Rui.

On November 20, the 11th year of Lin De, my father and mother left the newly married crown prince Li Sheng and took Li Rui and me to Wentang in Ruzhou.
