It's only April, and it's already very hot. Mother took Li Dan to live in Shangyang Palace early, Ah Huan and Shouli also accompanied me, I also wanted to live in, but there were too many things on hand, so I could only live in the city, and go to Shangyang Palace every few days to report to my mother.

Recently, the following things have been important: first, all kinds of palace affairs: in May, the taxes of the imperial estates in various places will be discharged into the capital and distributed one after another; in the summer, ice, fruits, clothing, and other things must be disposed of by me; in hot weather, we must guard against heat stroke and illness; all kinds of sacrifices, funerals, and wedding rewards; and clothes and materials for autumn and winter must be prepared. First, the palace examination has passed, but the selection has not yet been decided, and my mother is determined to imitate the imperial examination, so she also appointed several examiners in a similar way, and asked the examiners to agree on the selection of people, afraid that they would not be subordinate to each other and could not hold each other, so she ordered me to sit in the meantime. There is another thing, it is a new errand that my mother found for me - to choose one or two suitable candidates for Li Bin's eldest son Li De, in preparation for marriage in the coming year - I never thought that this matter would be my turn anyway, after all, Li De has his own royal father and concubine, and Zongzheng Temple is also presided over by the elders, but my mother has made a will, and she can only seriously ask someone to inquire about the women of the right age in Beijing, and on the other hand, she invited Cui Mingde to participate in the discussion for me.

Cui Zhangji is in charge of the palace this year, and a small limelight, this time the big idea is mine, just through her hands, it is done very ingeniously - and today's examination, is not vague, there are a lot of things to ask for, I can't control the imperial examination, the palace is like this, but it is inevitable to feel unfair, and lost the original intention of selecting talents, so I proposed to my mother to use the name of the paper. This is quite offensive, I am a princess, of course I am not afraid, but the stewards below are all prevaricating, and no one is willing to come forward. It was Cui Mingde who took the initiative to ask for help, and took this jealousy, but he proposed that in addition to the written exam, there would also be an interview. This is also the process of today's imperial examination, there are rules to follow, things are famous, and the final interpretation of the right to belong to the mother, but also to convince the palace of the chosen person, the mother heard the great joy, although there is no clear reward, but in private and I praised Cui Mingde a few words, I deliberately said: "Cui Mingde is from a family, familiar with the affairs of officials, old-fashioned, far-reaching, if experienced, may not be able to belong to He Lou Shang Palace, the young lady." ”

Mother really smiled: "With Cui Er's talent, it is a pity to use it with He Lou, Ah Qing and the like." ”

I pretended to be puzzled: "If that's the case, why didn't A-Niang use her in the past?"

My mother was in a good mood, caressed my back with one hand, and explained with a smile: "It is precisely because she is of great use that it is all the more important to examine her character and understand her intentions." ”

I vaguely felt that my mother had only said half of what she said, so I didn't dare to ask her, so I just said, "A-Niang is wise." I can't think of that. ”

My mother looked at me lovingly and said, "You have done a good job, everything is not done overnight, and there is no hurry to learn slowly." ”

The more I listened, the more I felt that my mother's words were very meaningful, and I thought about it several times, but I still half-understood and half-understood, so I had to put it aside for the time being, and walked along the Luoshui Corridor with her, and when I came out, I saw Wei Tuan'er go in - if I said that I just didn't like her flattery in the past, but now I feel disgusted when I see her, only hindering my mother, in the end I accepted her salute, nodded and smiled, and met Ah Huan, and I had to pretend to see it again, Ah Huan specially slowed down, and whispered to me: "Don't pretend not to look like it, it's weird." ”

I thought she said that she and I, because there were only seven or seven of them around, so I grimaced and said, "Sister-in-law blames me for being disrespectful?"

Because I got Ah Huan's words, I didn't rush out, and went to watch the ceremony first-he has been going to school with Li Dan since March, when he was in the palace, I was afraid that Li Dan would bully him, and I had to go to Zhenguan Hall every day, and all the good things given to him were also prepared for Li Dan to prepare more and better, so the two of them were relatively safe in the first month, but now they arrived at Shangyang Palace, but they didn't know how to get along- Thanks to me for this trip, I don't know what's going on today, the female history of teaching is not in the class, only Li Dan is the king and hegemon in the huge immortal palace, this little guy takes the Xianju palace as the royal garden, and orders all the servants and palace people to pretend to be beasts in the garden, each mimicking the sound and shape, and he himself is riding the Shouli, and arrogantly "patrolling" the garden, poor Shouli is younger than him, and his body is not far away, he is suppressed, and he can't get up at all.

As soon as I saw it, I was already angry, and when I looked closer, I saw Shouli's face full of tears, so I couldn't bear it anymore, frowned and called "Your Majesty", Li Dan looked back and saw that it was me, smiled and shouted "Sister", climbed down from Shouli, and happily ran into my arms: "Sister, I still want a Trojan horse." ”

If Li Dan was not the emperor, I would have slapped him a long time ago, if this would not be in front of everyone's eyes, I would have a way to deal with him, but unfortunately not only Li Dan's nurse, palace people, and close attendants were there, but my mother also specially sent a few elderly palace people to take care of her, so I must take care of Li Dan thoroughly. I could only hold back my anger and said expressionlessly: "Since Your Majesty wants it, the concubine will order Shaofu to make another one." While glancing at Shouli, this little guy thought that Li Dan was seriously playing with him, crawling on the ground and still laughing, only to see me to stand up, come closer, pull my shirt, "aunt" "aunt" couldn't stop calling.

Li Dan looked at Shouli dissatisfied, pushed him away and said, "You are not allowed to talk to my sister." ”

I couldn't help it, so I half-squatted down and said, "Although the concubine is Your Majesty's sister, she is also an aunt who keeps etiquette, and Your Majesty can't bully and keep etiquette." ”

Li Dan didn't know what an aunt or sister was, so he winked at me: "But A-Niang said that A-sister is only a younger brother of mine." ”

When I saw that he was still willing to listen to the teaching, I used 120,000 patience and pulled his hand and said, "My brother is my younger brother, my nephew is my nephew, and my sister only has one younger brother, but there are many nephews, Ade, Ayou, Qianli, and Shouli, all of whom are my sister's nephews. After thinking about it, he added: "He is also His Majesty's nephew." ”

Li Dan was surrounded by me, opened his hand and counted for a long time, but he couldn't count clearly, so he lost his temper again: "But I only have one sister." ”

I looked at him with tears and laughter, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I took Shou Li and said, "Da Lang hasn't asked about his life today, and my aunt will take you to see your grandmother." ”

Knowing that he was afraid of seeing his mother, he didn't wait for him to speak, and withdrew with him in his arms. After Shouli came out, he looked at me timidly: "Grandmother doesn't want to see Dalang." This little guy was very clever, not saying that he did not dare to see his mother, but saying that his mother did not want to see him, I scratched his nose and said with a smile: "Grandmother does not want to see Da Lang, then Da Lang will not go to see her." Auntie take Da Lang to the garden to play, okay?"

Shouli blinked his eyes again and again: "But my aunt said that she would take Da Lang to see her grandmother." ”

I teased him, "But Da Lang doesn't want to see his grandmother." ”

Shouli was in a hurry, put his arm around my neck and said, "Da Lang is not, Da Lang wants to see his grandmother." Ah Huan said "Da Lang likes his grandmother the most", he also thinks that "Da Lang likes his grandmother the most", whoever wants to say that Da Lang doesn't like his grandmother, he will be anxious with whom, but if he really wants to take him to see his mother, he is very scared.

I was amused by the little guy's anxious appearance, and deliberately said, "Really, then my aunt will take Da Lang to see my grandmother." The little thing's face changed, and his eyes were almost bursting with tears, but he refused to say it, and when I took a few steps to "grandmother's", Fang arched into my arms, and whispered heroically: "Okay." Before the voice fell, he took my hand and said, "Auntie go with me." ”

When I saw that he had come to this point, I was embarrassed to tease him any longer, so I put him down, took his hand and said, "Grandmother is busy, I don't have time to see Da Lang, my aunt will take Da Lang outside to play first, okay?" ”

I was stunned, but my first thought was to go to the guard, the child hugged me tightly, put his face on my lap, stared at Wang De's embroidered shoes, and reluctantly said: "Da Lang likes grandmother the most." ”

I shook my head and smiled, and hugged him to the hands of the immortal: "Take Da Lang to the garden to play for a while, if he is tired, or send him back, or go to the pavilion to sleep for a while, when you see Your Majesty, take him around, don't go back to the Xianju Palace—understand?" 166 Reading Network
