Chapter 9 Troubles
"Not necessarily!" Huaizhu snorted, "My Rui Rui is fine, if he doesn't look at you, it's because his eyes are not good." β
Mei Rui smoothed her hair, lay back down, and put her head on the sheep's pattern pillow: "So, it's not good to look down on me, and it's not good to look down on me?" β
"That Lu Hujun is not good," Huaizhu was still not very relieved, and came over to grope and rummage on Mei Rui's body, tickling Mei Rui's itch, she ate and laughed, and the depression between her eyebrows dissipated, Huaizhu said, "Even if he doesn't look at you now, then maybe you will fall in love for a long time in the future, and it will be even more difficult to do." At first sight, the heart is to see the color, a fresh momentum, or it will not take long to fade, the love is accumulated over the years, even if it is a stone heart, it is also a fine water long flow grinding into a finger soft. You are easy to be soft-hearted, and when you are coaxed by him to eat with him, isn't it a tyrannical thing? β
Mei Rui looked at her with a smile: "God, where did you come from?" She wrapped the quilt tightly and turned her back, forgetting what she was going to ask Huaizhu before, "I'm going to sleep, don't you have to quarrel with me." β
Huaizhu belched, scratched his head and muttered, "What I said is clearly reasonable, okay?" Twisting his fingers and waiting for a while, he saw that Mei Rui was really asleep, so he went to fetch water, hummed the song, and after cleaning up, he also got into the mattress to meet Zhou Gong.
*
The first emperor left an edict before his death, which was a scene of seizing the heir that did not see as described in the history books, and the little prince was protected by Lu Zhen, and he sat on the golden throne of Kowloon and became the little emperor.
The royal front is naturally not as idle as in the Literature Museum, and the errand of serving tea and water is also trivial, the little emperor's heart has not yet grown, and the things he does every day are not only sticky to Lu Zhi is sticky Lu Zhen, if Lu Zhi goes to deal with government affairs, he will begin to stick to Mei Rui. He was wearing a red yellow round-necked shirt, he was the age of changing teeth, and one of his front teeth was missing, and he grinned at Mei Rui, and shouted in a stacked voice: "Rui Rui, Rui Ruiβ"
Mei Rui was patient and responded, "What does Your Majesty have to say?" β
The little emperor squinted his eyes and sat behind the imperial case about the same height as him, his hands folded on the table, and his round chin rested on his sleeve shirt: "It's nothing, it's just to call you." β
The corners of Mei Rui's mouth twitched, the little emperor giggled, tilted his head and said, "Rui Rui, where is Lu Zhen?" β
The folds handed over by the six departments of the three provinces were sent to Beiya, and the people's livelihood plans were decided by Lu Zhi, and I heard Fu San'er tell her that day that the matter of going to the King of Suixiang to deal with the flood was not over, and there seemed to be some unknown secrets in it, so that Lu Zhi's face was not very good recently, and Mei Rui did not touch the moldy head of this protector. She is just a royal Shangyi, and political affairs are untouchable territory for her.
As for whether Lu Zhi is loyal or not, this is a matter that cannot be discussed by her, thinking like this, the smile on her face is a little vain: "Lord Lu should be busy." β
The little emperor was a little discouraged after hearing this, he fell back, his neck was straightened and stuck to the back of the chair, and his short arms were full of strength before he put the general on the arm of the chair, and the whole person looked extraordinarily small on the wide throne, and he said sullenly: "Rui Rui, I don't think it's good to be the emperor." β
Mei Rui glanced at the stack of books on the imperial case, all of which were the homework assigned by Lu Zhi for the little emperor before leaving, the little emperor was naughty, and the Taifu came to teach him to blow his beard and stare at him angrily, so he left the pick and quit, and the burden of teaching the little emperor to read naturally fell on Mei Rui's head.
Lu Zhi's expression of explaining this matter is very reasonable: "You used to be a bachelor in the Literature Museum, and you are naturally knowledgeable, and you will be responsible for Your Majesty's homework." β
Mei Rui felt a headache and taught the king of a country, what a big deal! She's just a little emperor, why is she also an errand for the emperor. The little emperor's ability to steal and play tricks is excellent, and no one can bluff anyone except Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi threw this errand to her, and he really wanted to embarrass her.
Sighing, Mei Rui said a little melancholy: "The slave also thinks so." β
The little emperor thought that Mei Rui would teach him to have the concept of taking the world as his own responsibility like others, but when he heard that she was slightly the same as what he saw, he couldn't help but feel a sympathy between heroes, and he blinked: "Yes, Lu Zhi often tells me that as the emperor, you must be happy and angry, so that others think you are unpredictable, and you will respect you." β
He puffed up his mouth and looked unhappy: "However, if I am like that, it will be very uncomfortable." My father is like that, I often feel that my father is unhappy, and I have a lot of things hidden in my heart, but my father and Lu Zhen, I have secretly seen that when I am with Lu Zhen, my father is the happiest. He added, "It's more enjoyable than when you're with your mother." β
Mei Rui thought for a while: "What Lord Lu said is not unreasonable, you are the Son of Heaven, if your joy and anger are displayed in front of others at a glance, it is not the way of the emperor, Lord Lu is for your good." β
"But!" The little emperor frowned, "My father has Lu Zhen, but I don't have anyone." β
"Isn't Lord Lu by your side?"
The little emperor pouted: "My father will tell Lu Zhi everything, and Lu Zhi will also tell my father, but he won't talk to me, he thinks I am a child and I don't understand anything." His eyes were empty and disappointed, "It is said that the emperor is alone, and now I already feel like this." β
Mei Rui suddenly felt pity, she felt that the emperor sat on this dragon chair at a young age, it was indeed the nature of suppressing children, her expression softened, and she whispered to the little emperor: "Your Majesty has anything, you can tell the slave maid, the slave maid is willing to share your worries." β
The little emperor was still very melancholy, and the gloomy clouds pressed between his eyebrows, and his face was wrinkled: "But Rui Rui, you will marry one day, I remember what you said last time, you said that you had made a family affair earlier, and you were waiting to get married after leaving the palace, Lu Zhi told me that it has been the seventh year since you entered the palace, and you can invite yourself out of the palace in another three years." When you talk to me now, you're trying to coax me. β
Mei Rui was choked, the warmth that had been brewing dissipated endlessly, and she was silent, she felt incredible that the little emperor remembered a sentence she said casually so clearly. At the same time, she felt that even though the little emperor was precocious, he was a child after all, and children needed to be coaxed, even if he had seen through that she was coaxing him, and he would feel comfortable when he heard some sweet words.
It was she who smiled gently at the little emperor: "How dare the slave and maid coax His Majesty, what the slave and maid say is from the bottom of her heart......"
Before she finished her heartfelt words, the little emperor said excitedly: "I have a way!" β
Mei Rui was stunned: "Your Majesty?" β
The little emperor jumped off the chair, ran to her slowly, reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes and tugged at it, Mei Rui squatted down according to his meaning, and listened to him ask in his ear: "What do you think of Lu Zhen?" β
Dare to say that it is not good in this case, Mei Rui nodded: "Lord Lu is very good." β
The little emperor was a little proud: "That is, I also think Lu Zhi is very good." Then his eyes rolled, and he coughed with a fist, "Okay, I know." β
"You know that?" Mei Rui didn't understand what the little emperor meant by asking this sentence, and she was a little inexplicable, but the little emperor nodded happily, "I just know." β
Mei Rui sighed, stood up and flipped through the books on the imperial case: "Then since you know, you know very well what errand Lord Lu sent to the slave maid, let's review all the articles we studied yesterday today, and then continue to study later." β
The emperor's face collapsed in an instant, and he was about to hide under the imperial case as soon as he twisted his body, but was pulled by Mei Rui, and she said with a smile: "Where did you learn this problem, you drill under the table at every turn, do you see which monarch in the history books wants to hug the table leg when he encounters something?" β
"I don't care," he pouted to hang the oil bottle, "I look at those books and my head is dizzy, it's even more terrifying than being sick, Rui Rui, you are eccentric, you listen to Lu Zhi for everything, you just don't listen to me." β
Mei Rui's strength is still greater than that of the eight-year-old little emperor, she picked up the little emperor in a big way, the little emperor drilled in her arms, lay in her shoulder socket and sniffed violently, and sighed: "Rui Rui, you are so fragrant!" β
Mei Rui laughed dryly, the little emperor was precocious and precocious, and she loved to rub oil from her at a young age, she settled the little emperor on the throne like throwing a hot potato, picked up the book on the top and spread it on the imperial case, and began to read it with a face of eight winds without moving. The little emperor described it as very painful, and tried his best to interrupt: "Rui Rui, this is almost the end of the year, if you have anything you want, I will reward you." β
"If a person has a great fault, he will be punished heavily, and if he is appointed later, he will be in danger of life, do you know what this sentence means?"
"I have a fish play lotus inkstone there, you have such a good knowledge, you will definitely like it, it is in my bedroom, if you want, I will take you to get it now, okay?"
"This is to sue sΓΉmajesty, suspicion will be in danger, and after the guilty person is punished, he will be suspicious and afraid, and he will be troubled," Mei Rui was not moved by what the little emperor said, and looked at him, "Your Majesty can you know?" β
The little emperor nodded with a frustrated face: "What the master said is very true, I know it. β
*
But what the little emperor said made Mei Rui think about it, now it's the end of the year, because the funeral period of the first emperor has not yet passed, the palace is not extravagant, and there is no atmosphere of the New Year's festival at all, and the palace is like a wind and snow that has never stopped. Day after day, even Mei Rui forgot the time, and when she was about to return to the court after duty one day, Fu San'er shouted behind her: "Auntie, slow down." β
She turned around and saw Fu San'er coming over with a food box, and smiled at her: "Today is a small year, there are dumplings in the food box, and there is a copper coin hidden in it, my aunt will take it back and share it with others, and see who is more blessed." β
Mei Rui was surprised and moved, took the food box and thanked her again and again, Fu San'er waved her hand: "Auntie, don't thank the minions, this is all ordered by the adults, and the minions are just running errands for the adults." He said, "Go back quickly, the dumplings are not very delicious when they are cold, be careful on the road." β
Lu Zhen? Mei Rui was stunned, and she was even more at a loss, she resigned from Fu San'er and went to the court, Huaizhu was already waiting for her in the house, and there were two bowls of dumplings on the table, and when she came back, she said with a smile: "Oh Ruirui, come quickly, if you don't come back, the dumplings will be cold." One of these dumplings is wrapped in copper coins, let's compare and see who can eat it, and the one who eats it will be lucky next year. She bent her eyes, "If you eat it, you have to feed me." β
He looked at her hand again and said, "What are you carrying?" β
Mei Rui didn't dare to say that it was sent by Lu Zhi, according to Huaizhu's prejudice against Lu Zhi, she would definitely throw this food box out of the window, she walked to the table and opened the food box, and said: "Your Majesty read that it was Xiao Nian, and specially asked me to bring it back to eat with you." She smiled and looked at the two bowls of dumplings that had been divided on the table, "But compared to it, I still like your wrapping." β
Huaizhu snorted a little proudly: "That's it, what I wrapped must be the most delicious." But she still looked at the gold-inlaid food box with some greed, and licked her mouth, "But I haven't tasted the taste of the dumplings rewarded by the emperor, I can taste your light tonight!" β
Mei Rui took out the dumplings in the food box and put them in front of Huaizhu, and chuckled: "Look at your greed." β
Huaizhu cheered, picked one up and put it in his mouth, smiled when he ate it, and said again and again: "It's delicious." He picked up another piece and fed it to Mei Rui, "Come on, Rui Rui, you can taste it too." β
"Okay." Mei Rui opened her mouth and ate the dumplings that Huaizhu fed her, and just bit the strong dumpling skin, the delicious soup and dew filling overflowed on the side of her tongue, and there was another hard thing, which was also firmly bitten between her teeth.
