Chapter 17 The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is here
So he taught the prince to read during the day, and squatted in his boudoir at night to write and draw. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Such days are dull but occasionally with a little laughter, and in the blink of an eye, ten days and half a month have passed like this.
As for Zhao Mu's progress, Shen Qiwu could only smile at the corners of his mouth. When the one-month deadline is up, it will naturally become clear.
On this day, Shen Qiwu did not plan to go to Rongde Palace. A few days ago, Master Wang came to the house with a rocking chair, which made her very happy, and she was ready to take the rocking chair to meet the Queen Mother.
"Qiwu, you kid hasn't been here for a while." The Queen Mother was naturally very happy to see her. He beckoned to her and softened his voice, "Quick, child, sit down beside the mourners." ”
Shen Qiwu was slightly blessed and sat next to the Queen Mother.
"I heard the emperor say that you are actually teaching the prince to read, and you have suffered a lot these days." The Queen Mother held Shen Qiwu's hand and patted it gently. The Queen Mother has watched Zhao Mu grow up since she was a child, so she naturally knows a lot about his temperament, and she is distressed and relieved to know that Shen Qiwu was ordered to teach the prince from the emperor.
"Qiwu is not bitter, the prince is my future husband, and I have the responsibility to help him." Shen Qiwu replied as a matter of course, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel even more distressed in her eyes.
The royal family affection is already very weak, but it is all yearning for that chair and that supreme power. For an old man like the Queen Mother, after living to this age, family affection is more important than anything else.
Although Zhao Mu's personality is not likable, he is still the queen mother's own grandson after all. Although the Queen Mother is telling lies on her lips, she still values it tightly in her heart, a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart. Shen Qiwu can attach so much importance to feelings, and the Queen Mother's love for her inevitably becomes more and more.
Shen Qiwu ordered someone to carry out the rocking chair that had been prepared long ago and dedicated it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was naturally full of joy, and said straightly, "I have a heart, I have a heart." ”
Shen Qiwu accompanied the Queen Mother for a long time, and then had lunch with him, and then he was allowed to leave the palace and return home.
As soon as he was about to leave, he bumped into the queen mother who he hadn't seen for many days.
"Courtier Shen Qiwu, I have seen the queen mother." Shen Qiwu leaned down and hurriedly knelt down.
The queen is wearing a golden and phoenix robe today, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, and her posture is graceful.
"Let's be flat, it's all a family, no formality." The queen squinted and whispered softly. She didn't expect to meet Shen Qiwu here in Cining Palace, Shen Qiwu left a good impression on Zhao Mu in this matter, and she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Shen Qiwu's most annoying thing on weekdays is this kind of salute, an ancient person with modern thoughts, is very disgusted with the etiquette of kneeling. Fortunately, Shen Qiwu often comforts herself, she kneels to the emperor and the empress, one is her father-in-law, and the other is her mother-in-law. Every time I think about it, I feel much more comfortable.
"Why does the queen have to come to mourn her family's Cining Palace today?" The Queen Mother lay on the rocking chair and spoke, originally ready to take a nap, but she didn't expect the queen to come.
The queen had a graceful smile on her face, and she came to the queen mother's side to salute slowly, "Originally, Your Majesty set up a banquet today to entertain the envoys from the Jin Kingdom. But the mourning family couldn't stand the face of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and felt bored and panicked, so they slipped out. ”
It turned out that today there were envoys from the Jin Kingdom to Beijing, and His Majesty held a banquet in the palace to entertain them.
Originally, according to the current dire relationship between the two countries, Da Zhou would never accept the envoys from the Jin State. But the reason used by others is good, not for national affairs, just to be able to participate in the Beijing Poetry Conference and see the flourishing literary style of the Great Zhou.
Since they all said so, the emperor was embarrassed to refuse others. You said that if you come to declare war or surrender, the emperor will not blink his eyes and will let you get out of the Great Zhou immediately. But since he is here to do learning, the emperor can only turn a blind eye, and set up a banquet on his face, so as not to be stingy in the world.
"Jin Guo is here?" The queen mother's face is very ugly, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but her own ears are smart. This Jin Kingdom is about to die with the Great Zhou at the beginning of spring, and the Queen Mother will naturally not have a good face for Jin Guo.
Shen Qiwu lowered his head on the side and listened quietly.
"I don't know what the emperor thinks." The Queen Mother got up from the rocking chair, and the people who were standing on the side and serving hurriedly supported her. "When spring begins, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." The Queen Mother's eyebrows were full of worry, and she was very jealous of the Jin Kingdom.
After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was not as good as the first. To the current emperor Zhao Qi, although there is some appearance of a British lord, the national strength of the Great Zhou has been consumed, and it is no longer strong. On the other hand, the Jin State was founded by nomadic people, and the people were fierce, and the prosperity of the soldiers and armor may be difficult to stop its edge.
"Ugh." The Queen Mother sighed, shook her head and couldn't speak.
"By the way, this poetry meeting, Your Majesty is going to let Mu'er go and preside over it." The queen opened her mouth and glanced at Shen Qiwu with a little meaning.
Everyone knows that Shen Qiwu is teaching the crown prince Zhao Mu to read, and many people want to see if Zhao Mu has really changed now, especially the emperor Zhao Qi. Although the deadline is one month, I am impatient after all, and I want to know something in advance.
When Shen Qiwu heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
During this period of time, Zhao Mu has indeed improved a lot. But it was all under Shen Qiwu's coercion and temptation, and as for presiding over the Beijing poetry meeting, Shen Qiwu's throat was about to pop out.
"Qiwu, Your Majesty also asked you to go with Mu'er."
"Me?" Shen Qiwu pointed at himself, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
The queen nodded to her.
Today's weather was not bad, but at this time, Shen Qiwu felt as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, standing motionless.
What does the emperor mean by this arrangement, she is not married to the crown prince yet, which means that she is not suitable to appear with the prince on this occasion, and it is not in line with etiquette to do so. With such an arrangement, isn't the emperor afraid that the world's scholars will chew on the root of their tongues?
The queen probably saw her thoughts, and Wen Yan explained, "Your Majesty means that you and Mu'er will severely frustrate the spirit of the Jin Kingdom at the poetry meeting, so that they can know that I am the Great Zhou Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger." ”
"If it's just Mu'er going, I'm afraid that my Great Zhou's spirit will be thwarted by the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. If you go along, Your Majesty will naturally rest assured. ”
"Aren't there still some of my big Zhou's talents?" Shen Qiwu was puzzled, even if he wanted to frustrate the arrogance of the Jin people, it would not be Zhao Mu's turn to play. There are so many talented people in Da Zhou, and it is estimated that they can abuse Jin people if they are called out.
"Alas, you don't know anything." The queen's tone paused, and a hint of worry appeared on her face.
