Fan Guifei refused for the second time, it was the last few days of autumn, at this time, the northern migratory birds moved one after another, and flocks of white cranes gathered in the lake to peck at aquatic grass fish and shrimp.

Prior to this, Yuan Lingjun and Qu Yi had been subdued many times and practiced their duties. They went to the countryside, ate a hundred dregs of rice, heard people's mixed evaluations of noble concubines, and heard the people's pity and grief for her. No one is perfect, some people love and some people hate, just like Fan Jiang, while chasing the enemy for thousands of miles and turning back and killing, pity the people's suffering and increase taxes, Jin Min has as much reverence as he has for her. Yuan Lingjun saw this and didn't think that people were deliberately slandering.

Once, on the mountain road back to the palace, they happened to meet a hermit who had cut down the wood and returned home, and the hermit said: "If you are of good character, even if you do not issue orders, the people will carry them out, and if you are not upright, even if you issue orders, the people will not obey them." ”

His body is upright, and he does not obey orders, and his body is not right, although he does not obey orders. She took this statement as the decree of the Buddha and kept it in mind.

On this day, Yuan Lingjun and Qu Yi had just come out of a private visit in the mountains and rested under the thick shade of the trees on the roadside. The wind blows cool in the mountains, and the sun is high and the heat is unbearable.

"I'm so thirsty! Well, fortunately, when I left, my aunt stuffed me with a few water chestnuts, although it was the end of autumn, I could still eat it raw. She opened a lotus leaf bag, revealing a few water chestnuts that were still hanging with water droplets not long after she picked them.

The husband and wife came up the mountain in disguise, sitting on the side of the road at this time like an ordinary couple in a hurry, but the coarse cloth clothes could not hide their luxurious and luxurious atmosphere, but let the passers-by frequently look at each other.

Qu Yi wiped her sweat and brushed the hair on her scattered forehead, "I've walked a long way, are you tired?" ”

Yuan Lingjun stretched out his fingers to play with those water chestnuts, rolling around, and having fun, "It's okay, I just feel that Beigong Mountain has been a lot colder recently, just look at Huo Min's rheumatism pain is getting worse and worse." Childe, it's time for us to go back. ”

She looked at the rolling hills in the distance, lowered her head and picked out two, held one in her hand, and bit it with her teeth.

"Mingyu has traveled a lot of places, met a lot of people, learned a lot of personnel, and has grown a lot more than before." Qu Yi fanned the lotus leaf wind, and his face had a flush left by the sun, but compared to Yuan Lingjun, it was much better. Yuan Lingjun was so jealous that his eyes were red.

"Well, that's why I understand how to get along with my mother. She left Min Xing in Zhaotai Palace to make me have all kinds of scruples, but she didn't dare to do anything. She said firmly.

Qu Yi looked at her fingers peeling water chestnuts, which were round and slender like onion roots.

I saw her rubbing the outer skin with both hands, pinching it hard, and the rhombic flesh fell on the lotus leaf, white and green distinct. Yuan Lingjun picked it up and fed it into his mouth, chewed it crisply, and was not idle under his hands, skillfully peeled off the other one, and stuffed it into Qu Yi's mouth, "Childe, eat some too, the mountain road is difficult to walk, you can't do it without strength, although you are a martial artist, but it is also very consuming to carry me for a while." ”

The water chestnut leaves a fragrance in the mouth, and the taste is strange and carries warm memories. Qu Yi smiled slightly, "I've eaten a lot of water chestnuts, but I've never peeled them by hand, and every time I bring them up, they're made in the kitchen." Fresh water chestnut, the only attempt was to peel it by A-Niang, but that was a young thing, and I can't remember the taste now. ”

Yuan Lingjun stopped chewing, "In Shanglin Yuan, fresh fruits and the like are very difficult to see, my uncle can't often bring things to eat, my mouth is so hungry that I secretly climb the tree to pick fruits, and I often fall and my nose is blue and my face is swollen, so I beat my mother a lot." ”

She said lightly and plainly, but Qu Yi frowned slightly. He knew the situation of her mother and daughter when they were in Shanglin Yuan, and it was really not easy to survive in those years.

Yuan Lingjun tilted his head to look at him, "I've never heard you talk about your mother, what kind of person is she?" "The wife of the first commander of the Wind and Rain Ride must also be an extraordinary person.

"A-Niang is gentle and virtuous, she has been in Liyang since marrying her father, and has never returned to Guazhou, A-Niang has died, and her grandfather is still alive, so I often go to see him."

"The Lan family is a big family, and there are many talents, after I take power, the son will let the mother family join the ranks." Yuan Lingjun said sincerely.

Qu Yi stroked his forehead and shook his head, "I'm afraid not, I agree, and Wai Weng doesn't agree either." ”

What a quirky family. Yuan Lingjun felt a pity for a while, but he still didn't ask the root of the matter. Then, she smiled and slurred: "If Childe likes water chestnut, I will peel it for Childe in the future." As she spoke, she bit off another water chestnut.

The clouds float on the horizon, and the top of the mountain is covered with golden afterglow. The two of you and I wiped out the water chestnut one by one, and the last one was left, lying lonely on the lotus leaf.

Qu Yi's eyes were clear, "Water chestnuts are also angular, and they contain the same truth as grains - sharp edges." There are already people in the DPRK and China who have already stepped on this line, and it is not harmful to His Majesty. ”

"It's Zhao Chun. Master Wang was worried when he first recommended him to enroll, and sure enough, this person wanted to oppose us. ”

Zhao Chu was anxious for quick success, and when the new official took office, he jumped out impatiently, and a group of Fan family members who didn't know the benefits and coaxed blindly picked up Fan Guifei, calling him His Majesty or calling me the loudest. However, for both parties, it is beneficial and harmless, Fan Guifei needs their push, and she also needs it, this person has some ability, but he is used because of greed. The imperial court reused him, and only zài still had the value of use.

Speaking of this person, slightly annoying. Yuan Lingjun angrily ate the only remaining water chestnut, and the two of them had rested enough, ready to get up and go back to the palace.

"Speaking of water chestnuts, I wonder if your majesty has ever heard of the story of 'northerners eating water chestnuts'?"

Yuan Lingjun shook his head honestly.

On the way down the mountain, Qu Yi preached to her: "I also heard from someone about a northerner who didn't know water chestnut, and when outsiders asked him, he didn't know but pretended to know very well, saying that water chestnut grows in the soil, which made a joke." He paused, "There is no end to the knowledge in the world, and people can never finish learning, so you must be humble about what you know, and you must humbly ask those who know if you don't know, and you can't force yourself to know." ”

"Mr. Ma said that you can be my teacher, if you really don't lie to people, everything that Gongzi said contains truth, and Lingjun has benefited a lot from it. You can be my husband, or you can be my teacher. Master Lan is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. Yuan Lingjun stopped here, saluted him in style, pursed his lips and smiled.

"The minister himself is still a person who seeks knowledge and knowledge, but he doesn't dare to accept students and mislead children." Qu Yi grabbed her twisting arm and dragged her down the mountain, "Neither Master Wang nor I can really teach you, the people of the world are the best teachers of Your Majesty." (To be continued.) )
