When my father died, my mother sent four trusted generals to the four major governors of He, Yi, Jing, and Yang, and knew each other with the government to guard the town, and in the following months she was busy appeasing the close relatives of the kings of Zhuzong, and the envoys of the kings of Huo, Qi, Xu, Ze, and Teng were constantly distributed in Beijing.

Li Dan succeeded to the throne, and his mother ordered Li Bin to be crowned king, and Bai Junzhou assassinated the history, so that Li Bin was alone in office - my brothers have been able to live more than one since they were abolished, Li Sheng died early, except for Li Dan, there are still three sons and one daughter, Li Bin has nine sons and six daughters now, Li Rui has left Beijing, and news came on the road, saying that the people around him are pregnant, and the escort person reported back overnight, and the mother ordered to choose twenty people from Fangzhou to be the nurse, and increased Li Rui's four-hour clothing supply.

I was not idle, my mother called me to pick up the music for her - this time it is not like in Ruzhou in the past more than ten or twenty books a day, and today everyone knows that the Queen Mother is auspicious, all over the country have hollowed out their minds to enter the book offerings, every play, I hate to start with a thousand words, and I can always receive many 10,000 words every other day, my mother is impatient to see these, so she handed over all the auspicious things to me and Wan'er, and ordered us to select "one of them can be seen", give a generous reward, and spread the world.

In addition, because Ah Huan was busy copying scriptures, the responsibility of taking care of the rites naturally fell on me. Every day I have to carry this little guy out for half an hour, and in the morning and evening I have to ask him about his daily life to see if the nurses are dedicated, whether they are bullied because they are the son of the deposed emperor, or whether they are lazy and slippery because they are ignorant of etiquette.

August passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning of the first day of September, Dugu Shao finally came to look for me. When she came, I was doing my duty as a sister-in-law to greet my good sister-in-law, and was interrupted by her, both of them were a little displeased, Dugu Shao pretended not to see the eyes of the two of us, and said with a smile: "Mulan is riding on the school field today, do you want to come and take a look?"

I made eye contact with Ah Huan, and she turned around and went in with Shou Li. I didn't have to worry about it, and Dugu Shao and the two walked towards Zichen Palace, and said with a smile: "How did you think of acting at this time?"

Dugu Shao smiled brightly: "On September 9th, we all have to obey, if we are named and miss, wouldn't it be a shame?" So I asked them to practice diligently for a few days, and today I came to see if there was an invalid test - I only invited Erniang alone, and no one else called. ”

I was immediately intrigued by the word "salute". This archery legend is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times, and every year in the palace of this dynasty, March 3 and September 9 must be bowed, and the first arrow is shot by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers then shoot the target. I didn't have the opportunity to participate, and my mother only participated a few times when I accompanied my father a few years ago, and my father was seriously ill last spring this year, and Li Rui did the shooting, but my mother did not participate, and Li Dannian was only one year old this year, but I don't know what to do?

Dugu Shao saw my curiosity, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has ordered the ministers to discuss the matter of the September Shooting Ceremony, and the utensils have already been prepared, and the Queen Mother uses a horn bow." ”

I knew it in my heart, and smiled and said, "Okay, call me when you can act, and I'll go with you." After I asked my mother and Li Dan's living room, I went to the side hall by myself, and Wan'er watched the excerpts and transcriptions, Dugu Shao led the soldiers to take charge of the honor guard, and his mother went to the court.

It is the time when the autumn is high and cool, there is no ice in the hall, and there is no fire, the doors and windows are open, it is very comfortable, I sit in front of the desk for a while, my heart flew to the outside of the temple, in the courtyard, got up and stood by the window for a while, think about Ah Huan, and think about Dugu Shao, the more comfortable, when I turned my head, I smiled to Wan'er and said: "Today's weather is very good." ”

Wan'er glanced at me, continued to bow her head, and said nothing. She has been speaking less and less lately, and sometimes she has been with me in the side hall for a whole day, and there is nothing else to say except to announce the initiation. Mother seems to like her very much, and recently, in addition to a few prime ministers and me and Tuan'er, Wan'er has been rewarded the most. And no matter how favored Tuan'er is, she still has to live in the wild fox fall, but Wan'er has newly inherited the gift and is allowed to live outside the Zichen Palace for a long time, which is equivalent to being able to enter and leave her mother at any time.

I saw that she refused to ignore me, but it was not good to disturb again, to the corridor down and walked back and forth for a while, and looked into the distance, today is the period of the Shuo Dynasty, not as complicated as the Chang Dynasty of the Xuanzheng Palace, nor as important as the Zichen Palace, but the mother took Li Dan to sit in the Hanyuan Hall to worship, and generally dispersed early, and when the mother came back, I went to her to talk, teasing Xiao Li Dan, and sent it away like this in the morning. At noon or here with my mother, or go back to the Ayaqi Palace to find Ah Huan for dinner, rest for a moment in the afternoon, come back and write a few letters, you can go back to the Ayaqi Hall to see Ah Huan, said that her birthday is approaching, my gift is not complete, I can't say that I still have to go out of the palace in these days, go to see in person. Ah Huan always advised me to pay attention to the Zhuangtian industry, so as not to know anything, if I leave the palace, I still have to take a look, my mother allocated a lot of officials and official slaves to me to take care of things, about to take a look?

While I was thinking about things, I looked out again, but my mother still did not come back, but the sun outside was dazzling, and suddenly there was a cool autumn breeze, which was extremely comfortable. It's really a good day to play, Ah Huan may not have played for a long time, so it's better to wait for Dugu Shao to finish the performance and invite her to play together. Shouli, this little fellow hasn't seen me for a while, I don't know if he'll miss me? He is now past the age of ten hours a day's sleep, and as soon as he is put on the bed, he raises his fleshy calves and kicks them in the air, and he likes others to tease him with bells, and as soon as he hears the bell, he giggles and giggles, and this little guy cries when it comes to feeding, and besides, whether it is cold or hot, he just reaches out to grab someone to help— It's really like me when I was a child, if I wasn't a woman, maybe he was really my son, even if I was a woman, now I have some doubts that what happens between women and women can also affect children, so he looks like me like this, but his biological mother is obviously not Ah Huan.

The queen mother's chariot finally appeared in the distance, I had a little surprise, a few steps to welcome out, remembering that this place is far from the palace gate, so I stopped and looked at it, and found that the guards walked much faster than usual, and the mother's servants also bowed their heads and lowered their hands, Fang Jue was not good, and it was too late to go in again, so I could only bow my head more and more, bow down and wait for my mother to pass by, and listen to her sternly ask: "Don't you stay in it and do things, what do you do when you come out?"

After many years of getting along, I only heard the voice and knew that my mother was very angry, but fortunately, after finding out that it was not good, I was already thinking about it, and I already had an idea at this time, so I pretended to smile ignorantly: "Just now, I saw that Yuanzhou sent a note, saying that Jin Xuan was born in August in the assassination of Shi Yazhong, and when I thought of A-Niang, I came out to take a look, and who knew that A-Niang would come back." ”

My mother's face was a little pale, and she said "go in with me" and got off, contemplating, and went to the porch to habitually open her hands and wait for others to serve, I saw that Wan'er and Tuan'er were not there, so I was busy standing behind, gently removing her robe, and when I bent down to take off her shoes, my mother came back to her senses, put her feet back, glanced at me and said, "Let them do it, you don't need it." ”

I smiled and said, "Now that I have seen the saint and the ceremony, I know that Ah Niang has worked hard to maintain me that day, and I beg Ah Niang to let me serve once, which can be regarded as filial piety." Half-kneeling on the ground, respectfully except for his mother's shoes.

My mother didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, went to the throne and sat down, and after thinking for a moment, she called me, "Take the pen." ”

I hurriedly spread out the pen and paper, dipped in ink and waited, but my mother thought about it again before she said: "Write: The emperor is young, and he is not familiar with riding and shooting, and his shooting salute can be stopped." ”

I shook my hand, dripped the ink on the paper, and hurriedly uncovered it, my mother glanced at me and said lightly, "Call Wan'er." The left and right immediately led Wan'er in, but the mother was not busy dictating at the moment, raised her hand slightly, ordered me to help her get up, paced back and forth in the hall for a while, squinted when she stood still, and said with a smile: " Proposed orders, first, the Empress Dowager's order is still called the seal book, and the edict is called; second, this year's shooting ceremony can be stopped; third, Pei Yan is diligent for the country, and can be given the opening of the palace with three divisions, three thousand sections, and ten Jiamai plants; fourth, the new emperor ascends the throne, wants to be enlightened, and next year can change the Yuan civilization and open Enke; fifth, let hundreds of officials enter the virtuous, and permanent officials can lead people into the palace; sixth, let all hundred officials have no distinction in rank, and all can write and speak; seventh, the holy drive is fortunate in the eastern capital in October. ”

When she said the fourth article, I couldn't remember it, and when it came to the seventh article, even Wan'er was a little in a hurry, and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, is it... How many bachelors come in?"

Mother shook her head, looked at her, and then at me, and said, "The shooting salute and Xingdongdu are prepared by Taiping, and you can write the rest, and I will prepare it today, and bring it to me." He pinched my face with a smile and said, "It's just two edicts, don't be sad, prepare well, prepare well, A-Niang will give you a heavenly horse." 166 Reading Network
