Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Saint Falls
The Ganlu Hall is the emperor's bedroom, and in addition to the queen, even the palace concubines are not allowed to stay overnight at will, not to mention the children and grandchildren of the heavenly family who should be properly avoided? If Li Hui was indeed a naΓ―ve young man who was ignorant of the world, and happily accepted his grandfather's "loving feelings", what would surely await him the next day would not be the friendly and implicitly playful smiles of the elders, but the gloomy sky like the eve of a storm. Fortunately, the king of Xin'an is not an innocent boy who knows nothing, and he is not a pampered and arrogant person, nor is he a person who is happy and angry. Hearing this, he bent his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was extremely happy, but also as if he was very regretful.
"Grandfather is loving, maybe he is worried that his grandson has nowhere to go, so he wants to take his grandson in for one night? Although rest assured, my uncle had already arranged the palace room, and my grandson was about to go, so naturally I shouldn't disturb my grandfather's rest. His eyes were clear, his attitude was natural, as if he had never thought much about it, and his gestures made people feel extremely comfortable. All the palace people and Qianniuwei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and their impression of this little county king became better and better.
Hearing this, the saint seemed to be a little lost, and sighed softly: "Neither of our ancestors and grandchildren has ever slept together. Alas...... When your brother was young, I still hugged him and rested together, but now, he is not willing to rest with his grandfather. I can't believe that even you ......"
Li Hui smiled brightly and came to the side: "Then when you rest tomorrow, how about your grandson accompanying your grandfather?" As for today, let the grandson escort his grandfather back to the Manna Hall as an atonement! Moreover, Fang Cai has never had the opportunity to accompany his grandfather to say a few more words, and his grandson also feels that it is a pity, and now is the best opportunity. β
'You?' Escorting 'me back to the Temple of Manna?' The saint couldn't help laughing, coughed a few more times, and waved his hand, "With your little effort, you dare to say 'protect' me?" Unexpectedly, your skin is getting thicker. No matter what, no matter what, since you have such filial piety, I can't bear to refuse you, so let you 'protect' it. β
"I didn't expect my grandfather to have such a low opinion of his grandson." Li Hui pretended to be lost, "My grandson's archery and knife skills were obviously taught by my grandfather, and I got the true inheritance of my grandfather." Before, when my grandson practiced archery and knife tricks every day, didn't my grandfather always praise my grandson, why nowβ"
"You kid, do you want to say that I don't teach well? Or is my martial arts also unusual? That's why you taught a 'disciple' like you? Tsk, you can't stand the slightest accusation? Well? β
"The grandson didn't dare. I just felt that I had done my best, but I still only got such an evaluation, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart - should I continue to practice martial arts with my grandfather in the future? Why don't we change it to teaching poetry and songs? Or, the grandfather instructed his grandson to write dozens of big characters every day? If the grandson learns these things every day, Grandpa will be very happy to come. β
"Oh? Do you want to learn this? Seriously? β
ββ¦β¦ It is enough to write big characters, and poetry and songs are enough. β
"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, you will give me fifty big characters every day, don't be lazy. Your handwriting is the best among your brothers and sisters, and after practicing diligently, you can't say that you can also be famous in Chang'an. As for your paintings, why don't you let Yan Aiqing teach you? If you look closely, he's still your grandfather! "What is said here is the father of the Yan family, Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
"The relationship between A-Niang and her grandfather doesn't seem to be very harmonious, so you don't have to worry about his old man...... lest both of them be filled with rejoicing in their hearts. If that's the case, no matter how hard I learn, I won't be completely at ease. "That's the truth, not half a word is a lie. As for what kind of evaluation the Yan family will get because of this, they also deserve it. It is impossible to say that they have been silent for a while, so that there is room for an upright and talented young generation like Yan Balang to grow up.
"What? Not on good terms? What is the reason for this? Come, tell me more about it. The sage's eyes were full of interest, "It's been nearly a year since you returned to Beijing, and I don't know anything about what happened. You have always been calm, and you have no need to hide anything, even if you say so. β
So, the ancestors and grandchildren laughed and talked all the way, and even the palace people and Qianniuwei listened to it with relish, and they all wanted this journey to be longer. Until he was about to arrive at the Manna Temple, the sage glanced at his grandson's still somewhat immature face in the light, his eyes moved slightly, and he said suddenly: "...... If you don't go back to the Manna Palace, let's go to the Lizheng Palace. β
Li Hui was stunned: "Grandfather wants to go and incense my grandmother?" β
The saint sighed: "Originally, Chinese New Year's Eve and Yuan Day should not be let alone to be celebrated." Now that I have been with her in the past, it can be regarded as compensation. The palace people silently turned Bu Yuan in a different direction, and Qian Niuwei immediately followed. The palace supervisor didn't say much, but only arranged for someone to check on the situation of the palace. Since the death of Empress Qin, few people in the palace have dared to speak out and advise the saint. The matter related to Empress Qin is all up to him, and even the prince is not good at saying anything.
Li Hui took down a few lanterns from the side of the road and let the palace people hold them: "Since it is Shangyuan Festival, hang a few more lanterns for grandmother to see, and look festive." He picks out delicate little lanterns that women love, all of them, whether they are gorgeous and bright, or childish, or quite interesting, and they are all eye-catching.
The sage looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Such a lantern, you can give it to Yue Niang, but your grandmother will not like it." β
"What does grandmother like? Why don't grandfathers teach their grandchildren to know? Pick out another lantern for your grandmother? β
However, the sage thought carefully for a long time, and only let him take a green jade lamp, and then asked the palace people to pick up a few lamps and send them to the Duke of Wu's mansion. Then, he sighed abruptly, and suddenly said: "Those who accompanied me to gallop the world back then are almost gone." In the years when I first ascended the throne, I was full of spirit and scolded Fang Xuan, how happy! And now...... Sure enough, people have to serve old age. "The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are now not overly subordinate to Qin An, the Duke of Wu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the Duke of Jianguo, Xu Ye, and Chi Qing, the Duke of Eguo, who is retired at home.
"Grandfather's Wen Taowu is a little more outstanding than his grandchildren, how can he serve the old? If you have to 'serve', it should be your grandchildren who 'obey' your grandfather. Li Hui said with a smile, "Even if the sword is not old, it is good to let the grandchildren see the edge from time to time." Didn't my grandfather always say that he would take his grandchildren hunting? The harrier showed several to his grandson, and they were raised so oily and slippery, but they have not been able to make the trip so far. β
The saint smiled so much that the furrows on his face wrinkled: "Don't worry, this spring hunting, our ancestors and grandchildren will hunt to their heart's content!" No one can stop us!! When the time comes, you will not get less prey than Ah Jing. Otherwise, I have been teaching you for so long, wouldn't it be in vain to waste my time? Erlang, Saburo and Gorou are a few, and they can't say that they will privately muttering that our ancestors and grandchildren are not good at their skills! β
"Grandfather rest assured, grandchildren must practice diligently, and they will be ashamed. What is Ah Jing's nine shots out of ten? When it comes to spring hunting, his grandson's accuracy will definitely not be worse than his. Li Hui said confidently, "Sun Er will also ask Zixian to see if he has any experience in archery, so that he can figure it out." "When Chongyang shot big, he was indeed inferior to Li Wei and Li Jing, and he lost. When it comes to the qualifications and talents of martial arts, of course, they are not as good as theirs. But diligence can make up for clumsiness, the odds of winning are hard to say, and it is not too difficult not to lose.
"Just let him go with him." The saint was already very impressed by the young man, and said casually, "With him, even Ah Wei will be suppressed if he can't say it, and you and Ah Xin brothers can relieve some of the pressure." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you grandfather! Li Hui couldn't help but think again: If Wang Zixian really suppressed his cousin Li Wei, he would never leave a good impression on the royal family. Li Wei and Li Jing brothers are open-minded and may not take it to heart, but some people regard royal face as more important than anything else, and they will definitely look at the prince unpleasantly.
My grandfather was good at everything, and he always thought about his younger generations. However, he has never taken the initiative to suspect the hearts of the younger generations, so he always thinks that everything is too upright and too simple-
Harmonious and happy, just like an ordinary family, maybe it's just a dream that my grandfather didn't want to wake up after he ascended the throne. Maybe it was because of the guilt of killing his brother and killing his brother, maybe it was his reluctance to admit that the throne could make people's hearts insufficient, maybe he knew everything but pretended not to know and wanted to maintain the illusion - even so, he was willing to accompany the old man to make this dream to the extreme.
At this time, Bu Yuan had already arrived at the Lizheng Palace. Li Hui helped the saint down, walked to the Lizheng Palace, and offered incense to the spiritual seat of Queen Qin. The saint looked at the wisps of green smoke rising from the incense burner, suddenly lifted the plain white curtain, and looked at the heavy coffin inside. He looked at it for a long time, staggered forward, held on to the coffin, and sighed long.
Li Hui looked at his back with a little worry, and lowered his voice to the palace supervisor: "Looking at it now, grandfather seems to be extremely tired. Why don't you go to the Tai Hospital and call the doctor on duty to carefully diagnose the pulse? "The saint had a headache, and one of the symptoms was that his movements became more and more sluggish. If he hadn't been mistaken, his grandfather did seem to have stiffened a lot suddenly, and when he raised his hand, he couldn't help but tremble.
The twilight of the hero, like the passing of the beauty, is extremely regrettable, and even more extremely sighing. As a junior, there is more worry and anxiety in my heart, and even a little fear and anxiety. Having just lost his grandmother, he didn't want to lose his grandfather again. Even if there is life and death, he can't bear to see his loving elders pass away.
The feeling of loss has been tasted too many times in the previous life. In this life, he thought he could avoid it, but he still couldn't escape it. In his previous life, his grandfather and grandmother, who were strange and distant, met by fate in this life and became his most important family member. Therefore, he may still have to accept this parting, and he must endure the painful grind.
He only hoped that the time for grinding would come later, later.
ββ¦β¦ Ah Hui. The saint called suddenly, his voice seemed to be a little indistinct.
"Grandfather." Li Hui held him again, but suddenly felt that his weight was getting heavier and heavier, not only completely leaning on him, but also falling down suddenly.
Shocked, Li Hui almost instinctively hugged the old man in front of him, who was already extremely vicissitudes: "Quick! Hurry up and let the Imperial Doctor come over!! β
The saint smiled at him with difficulty, and then fell unconscious.
"Grandfather!!"
