Wait for me for ten minutes, and I'll give you a wonderful chapter.

The following is the anti-theft chapter.

The news that Old Taijun Qiu fell ill as soon as he came out of the palace was only circulated in the homes of a few people in Qingshuifang, and Rao was so, which also caused everyone to discuss.

Generally speaking, even if you don't come out of the palace, but fall ill in your own home, because it is in the New Year's Festival, everyone reports good news and not bad news, and if you are sick, you will not be sick, and you will never make such a big fanfare.

But as soon as this old lady Qiu came out of the palace, she fainted directly in front of the door, and she couldn't even move, so it wasn't a small problem. Hearing that the eldest young master in the mansion rode a horse from the inner city to the East City, and brought back the old white imperial doctor, some people were wondering if this unlucky Li Mao would have to worry about it for another three years.

Previously, his brother died, and he was only in his early twenties, which was the time to make great progress, because his nephew had to keep filial piety for three years, and he inherited the position of a brother. Seeing that filial piety has not yet come out, Li Laoguo Gong went because of a stroke again, and this filial piety is added to filial piety, and it is another three years. After so many years, Li Mao is already thirty years old.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was the time to employ people, at that time he did not occupy a place in the court, and now the situation in the court has stabilized, but he ran out of a letter to the country, how difficult Li Mao's life is, which can be seen.

Don't look at the fact that he is now treating this official of the military department as a prosperous person, and Old Taijun Qiu has earned a great reputation for the Xinguo Mansion, but at this time, Old Taijun Qiu is going to die, and he came out of the palace and died, even if this Li Mao is more capable than Li Meng, the emperor will have a pimple in his heart. Needless to say, Li Mao couldn't afford to be sick after his mother finished his pilgrimage, who knows what happened in the middle of the road?

This Li Mao is not only a person who is extremely lucky, but also a natural unlucky person.

In Renming Palace, the emperor sent a eunuch to announce that the saint was going to come to the Kunyuan Palace.

The queen took the eldest prince to greet the holy driver in front of the palace gate, and the palace maids, eunuchs and female officials all lowered their heads, but their faces could not hide their joy.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the saint rarely came to the harem because he was too busy. On the thirtieth day, Chu Rui got up early in the morning, he had to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, preside over the court banquet, and in the evening, it was a family banquet with the lords of the harem.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the holy car will definitely come to the Kun Yuan Hall where the queen is located, at this time the heaven and earth are handed over, and all things are innovative, if the queen is pregnant with the dragon son on this day, it is the "Yuan Zi", and the status is very respectful.

The queen watched her husband's figure slowly appear, and led a group of female officials and palace eunuchs to kneel to welcome the holy car.

In fact, the two were still together at the big banquet in the harem just now, but the emperor left halfway and never appeared again until the banquet was over. The empress knew that there must be something important that stumped the emperor, so she fulfilled the duty of "the mother of a country" and continued to preside over the banquet until the banquet was over.

It's just that the emperor is not there, and many concubines have no taste for food.

Now that the emperor has come to Kunyuan Palace, she is naturally very surprised.

Chu Rui picked up his queen and walked in with her hand. The emperor and queen were so harmonious, and everyone was smiling.

The dress on the eldest prince has not yet been taken off, and he, as the head of all the princes, has been getting up and preparing since midnight today, and has been busy until the middle of the moon at this time, and he has not rested. He is still a child, not as good as an adult, and he came out to meet him again when he was supposed to rest, and his face was full of tiredness and his eyes were red.

Chu Rui felt sorry for his son, called the eldest prince to his side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Your mother and I are going to take a break too, you've had a busy day today, go and get some rest."

As soon as the eldest prince Chu Cheng heard that his father was going to stay in Kunyuan Palace, he hurriedly thanked his father for his mercy and ran away with the people in his palace.

Do you want to stay here and be a big pear?

In the dead of night, the emperor and queen went to bed, and all the female officials and eunuchs waited outside the palace and did not enter. The emperor's sleep is very light, and it is no longer a day or two to have this rule, so there are only two emperors and queens left in the dormitory at this time.

The entrance to the dormitory was guarded by the queen's henchwoman, Yingniang, and the emperor's attendant eunuch Huang Shenchun, and the other palace maids were waiting in the side hall and outside the hall, just waiting for the emperor to call and wait.

The dormitory was as warm as spring, and Chu Rui was wearing thin clothes and lying on a long couch in the dormitory.

Zhang Shaoguang sat on the edge of the collapse and combed his hair.

When Chu Rui is tired, he likes to let others comb his hair, and he doesn't have to massage it with his hands, just comb it slowly. Therefore, there are combs of various materials and textures in the dressing table of the queen's bedroom, and there are only two or three people in the harem who can make the emperor feel at ease to comb his hair.

Chu Rui closed his eyes tiredly, feeling the comfortable feeling of the comb running across his scalp. The queen's strength to comb his hair is still so appropriate, she knows what kind of strength she likes, so she always uses that strength to comb his hair.

He really wanted to see what her expression would be if he said he wasn't feeling well at all.

She never knew how to ask him if he was going to be lighter or heavier today.

"What did the queen and Mrs. Qiu say in the palace?" Chu Rui tilted his head sideways and asked as if unintentionally.

Zhang Shaoguang listened to the emperor's culture, but his hand did not even pause. She pressed Chu Rui's scalp with one hand and stroked it gently, and with the other hand, she held a comb from the top of his head to the end of his hair, and said softly, "I told her everything the Holy Lord meant." I asked her to tell Li Rui that no matter which prince the Holy Lord wanted to assign him to as an attendant, he would have to ask to be the eldest prince's attendant. ”

"You're making your own decisions again?" Chu Rui sighed. "Queen, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, don't be in a hurry."

"Li Mao doesn't know when Lu Dao will come back, what if he doesn't come back on the day of the election? The emperor wanted the Xinguo Mansion to choose what to do, but in fact, the Xinguo Mansion had no choice, so why bother? Zhang Shaoguang said his question.

"Mrs. Qiu is different from other women from the eunuchs, if I don't explain the words to Mrs. Qiu, how can I let her know the powerful relationship. If you don't make the benefits and disadvantages clear, I'm afraid that the government will not agree. Wouldn't you have to endure for a few more years, Holy Lord? Zhang Shaoguang sighed and said, "If you endure for one more hour, they will all go further." ”

"Shake the light." Chu Rui loudly evoked the queen's name. Now few people call the queen's name directly, so Zhang Shaoguang was stunned for a moment before he let out a faint "um".

"Shake the light, Old Taijun Qiu fell ill as soon as he left the palace, and he couldn't even enter the door of his house when he was sick."

Zhang Shaoguang's hand holding the comb finally did not move again.

"Today's New Year, the Xinguo Mansion did not dare to invite the imperial doctor, and looked for Bai Xianze, the imperial doctor of the former emperor. I sent someone to ask Bai Xianze, and he said that Old Taijun Qiu had signs of stroke, and this time he was tired from entering the palace, and he was depressed, and he couldn't wake up after fainting several times. ”

Chu Rui stared at Zhang Shaoguang's eyes and said with a hint of condemnation, "Bai Xianze said that Old Taijun Qiu is afraid that he has the intention of committing suicide. ”

Zhang Shaoguang clenched the comb in his hand in shock.

Chu Rui turned over and closed his eyes.

"Shake the light and rule the world, it's not like this." He covered the arm of his right hand in front of his eyes and said tiredly, "Although I want to get along with the Princes of the Kingdom, I don't want to force them. My Chu family owes the Li family a lot for three generations, and I wish to hand over the handwritten letter to the Xinguo Mansion in person, leaving such a handle, just to tell them that they have this thing in their hands, and I will keep my promise. ”

"Holy Lord, you trust them, but not everyone is as faithful as the old prince. If they don't want to, what if they don't? Zhang Shaoguang asked the emperor rhetorically, "What if they don't want to help each other, and in order to protect themselves, they completely fall to the clan faction?" ”

"What if all the birds are hidden? If the situation is unfavorable, what if I will run out of the Xinguo Mansion and become an outcast? Chu Rui also asked Zhang Shaoguang. Don't they think so? There are many suspicions and temptations in the relationship between the king and his courtiers, and it is indeed impossible to make people loyal to the king by relying only on the three outlines and five constants. It's just a gamble between the two parties. ”

"They have my handwriting, so they are naturally insiders. If they don't, I have chosen other people who are balanced with the world, and the Xinguo Mansion will not only not leak secrets, but will help them. Because they know about it, they are also worried that I will be the first to suspect and pursue them after the leak, and they will be more cautious. Chu Rui didn't want to look at his queen anymore, and even the lights in this room were dazzling, "Although the Xinguo Mansion is the most suitable candidate, morally speaking, it is our injustice to persecute orphans and widows. ”

"The Holy One is the Lord of the Four Seas, and the Hundred Officials should ......"

"Shake the light!" Chu Rui interrupted the queen's words sharply. "Do you think that I am gradually neglecting you because the strength of the descendants behind you is too strong, so you hurriedly took your wings and automatically asked me to help me clean up the front dynasty and harem?" 、

Zhang Shaoguang and Chu Rui have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and they think they are the people who know Chu Rui best in the world. Because of this, she didn't want to tell a lie, because her husband didn't want to hear it at this moment.

She bit her lip.

"Holy Lord, isn't it?"

Chu Rui put down the arm that was blocking him and sat up.

"Then I'll tell you. No. I snubbed you because you made me feel 'unkind'......"

Chu Rui didn't use "I", but spoke in the same way that the two had just met when they first met.

Zhang Shaoguang heard Chu Rui change his name, and did not sit on the edge of the collapse anymore, but knelt on the pedal under the long couch.

Just like when she sat on the verandah in the backyard of Zhang's mansion and listened to Chu Rui in the courtyard state her ambitions.

"The first emperor gave Li Shuo the title of 'letter', and the world thinks that this is a proof of my father's trust in Li Laoguogong, and I am envious of the Li family." There was something warm in Chu Rui's eyes, "Only I know that the word 'letter' is not for my father to show his trust in the Li family, but to ask the Li family to 'believe' him." ”

"Shake the light, not everyone in this world lives in the world for the sake of power and profit, greedy for high positions. At least Li Laoguo Gong and Li Meng are not. They followed my Chu clan to fight everywhere because of their greater ambitions, and also for my father's acquaintance and rescue grace back then, not for the sake of being able to win a marquis in the future. ”

"For Li Laoguogong, if the Quartet is peaceful, he can return to his hometown and live the life he wants. And Li Meng did not stay in the court because of his position. ”

Zhang Shaoguang didn't believe it in his heart.

She was born in the world, and she is used to seeing deceit, if someone will fight for the ideal in her heart, of course she believes it, but if she gets too much power and fame in the process, and can be as chic as she was at the beginning, she doesn't think so.

But she didn't refute, but just listened quietly.

"In this world, the people who can be enveloped by money and power are the easiest courtiers for the emperor. A person who is not for fame, fortune and power, and does not care about his life, even if he is the honor of a country, cannot do anything to him. Old Duke Li is willing to help his father, and Li Meng is willing to plan for me, which has nothing to do with us being emperors. ”

"If there were other emperors sitting on the throne, Li Laoguo Gong and Li Meng, they wouldn't have such an attitude."

"He who wants a name, he is driven by a name; Whoever wants profit, he will be tempted by profit; If you want a position, you can seal a high position; But if it is for the sake of affection, it cannot be regarded as the way of the game of kings and ministers. ”

"I also realized this truth from getting along with Lao Guogong and Li Meng."

"Back then, when you were bent on establishing 'Rushi', I felt that you attached too much importance to gains and losses, and you were also obsessed with fame. Although you had just become queen at that time, and it was difficult for you to hold power with my mother, you should at least show your attitude and support those wives, instead of making a shelter-like premise. ”

"For so many years, although you have stood behind me as always, and are even willing to sacrifice your family and family affection for me, although I am grateful in my heart, I am also afraid."

"Shake the light, you and I are husband and wife, I don't want to drift away from you, so I speak to you bluntly......"

Chu Rui sighed in his heart, today's words were finally spoken.

"For the sake of my country, your ambitions, you are willing to treat yourself, your mother's family, and even your children as chess pieces, and offer your hands for me, and let me do whatever I want......"

“…… But even if this can save me from having to endure for another ten or even twenty years, it still makes me feel like a fish in my throat and chill. ”

"You said that to Mrs. Qiu, but you didn't consider her feelings as a mother and a grandmother. Even if I promised a double father, I also guaranteed the future of the two children, but this matter is extremely risky, there is no ten or twenty years that cannot be done, Qiu Lao Taijun is not a person who likes fame and fortune, you use the future to lure, but what she sees is danger, how can she not be frightened? ”

"I asked you to forward that letter to Mrs. Qiu, but I didn't let you add to it. You think I'm a person who can do anything to get things done, and even if I find out what you're doing, I'll compromise for the sake of the big picture, don't you? ”

Chu Rui bent down and looked at his wife sitting on the pedal, showing an almost cruel smile.

"Zhang Shaoguang, if I were an unscrupulous person, I would not have deliberately approached you back then and asked you to marry me willingly, but would have found an assassin to kill you. Do you think that my position as Chu Rui's wife is for sacrifice? ”

"So you look at me like this......" Zhang Shaoguang looked at Chu Rui with a pale face.

"Have I let you down so far?"

Chu Rui straightened up and stretched out his hand to his wife, who was sitting on the pedal.

"No, it's me mean. He wanted his wife to favor his side, but he didn't want her to hold what she had to sacrifice. ”

Zhang Shaoguang shook his hand with her husband and stood up with Chu Rui's strength.

"The matter between the family and the emperor, I will plan patiently, and I will give you and the emperor an explanation. When I told you these plans, I didn't mean to force you to make a decision, but out of the trust between husband and wife, to tell you why I had to take action against the forces behind you. ”

"I don't have to eradicate the clan, it's just that the clan is powerful and has to be guarded against. You have a strong personality and like to think too much, and it is easy to fall into misunderstandings - in the future, you should not interfere in these things again. You protect Cheng'er and balance the harem. You must remember that this country is my battlefield, not yours. ”

"That old lady Qiu is a person with a lot of hills and valleys in her chest, and she is kind and kind, you can interact with her more and learn her way of behaving in the world." Chu Rui looked at his confused wife and shook his head.

The vast majority of dignitaries in this court looked down on Old Taijun Qiu, a village woman from the countryside. In their eyes, a woman from a family like the queen or a scholarly woman like the Fang family is worthy of respect. Even those who respect Mrs. Qiu just think that she married a good husband and gave birth to a good son.

He paused slightly and asked Zhang Shaoguang:

"Li Laoguo Gong obviously wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", why didn't he publicize it when he was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and didn't publicize it when he was a supreme minister, just as a plaything for entertainment? Why did when Li Laoguo passed away, Li Meng died early, and Li Mao was unstable again, and Old Taijun Qiu took out this strange book? ”

"Why did she never go out to socialize when the Xinguo Mansion was at its strongest, and she never quarreled with her tongue, but on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she dared to persecute the children of King Xiangcheng?"

"Shake the light, a woman's strength is when there is no one behind her, in order to protect herself and the people she cares about, she has to be strong. When you build a 'such nunnery', although you are also compassionate, you are not strong. You sacrificed everything in exchange for my trust, and you are not strong. ”

"Have I put you in such danger?"

Zhang Shaoguang covered his face with his hands and couldn't cry.

In the Shinkoku Mansion

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family banquet originally scheduled in the Xinguo Mansion had to be placed outside the banquet hall.

Gu Qing was in the Zhiyun Courtyard, eating with the three boys.

On this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Mao was not in the mansion, the Fang clan was "resting", and Old Taijun Qiu was overworked and sick, and she was destined to live a cold and lonely year.

At the end of the day, even the people in the courtyards did not dare to laugh, let alone get together to play dice and drink like last year.

Li Ming, Li Rui and Li Jun were eating New Year's dinner in Zhiyun Courtyard, Gu Qing was weak and could not get out of bed, so the three children asked people to move the table to the old lady's room, move it to the bedside, and accompany the old lady to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

This is a very incredible thing in the eyes of the average Zhong Ming Ding Food House. Etiquette cannot be abolished, even if many people are sick and dying, the etiquette that should be paid attention to still has to be exquisite, but in the Xinguo Mansion, the master spoke, but no one dared to put his beak again.

Li Ming even climbed onto Gu Qing's bed edge with a bowl in his hand to feed his grandmother his favorite dishes.

'Huh, little sycophant! Li Rui, who was already fourteen years old and was really not suitable for this, could only eat with his head down, and glanced at Li Ming unwillingly.

Li Jun really likes this atmosphere, although he feels that this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not the same, but it is more delicious than every meal he has eaten over the years.

Well, my grandmother even ordered someone to prepare a big bowl for him.

"This year's vigil, grandma, I will definitely not be able to keep vigil. You three keep it. Gu Qing happily took a bite of the golden sand silver roll, "When you go out, tell the people below, play with you, laugh at what you should laugh at, celebrate the New Year, it's so quiet inside and out, it makes me seem to have ......."

"Grandma! It's Chinese New Year! Li Rui hurriedly interrupted Gu Qing's words. My brother and I will be ordered to go down later. ”

When Li Rui heard his brother's words, he immediately climbed out of bed and ran out of the town to order.

Grandma wants to be lively, how can it be quiet outside?

Gu Qing smiled embarrassedly, she forgot that there are many rules for the New Year here, what is broken, dead, bad and other unlucky words can't be said. It's good that she's the master, but the people said that they would slap their mouths and hit the board.

This evil seal 1 build 1 society 1 meeting!

"Grandma's 'fairy words', children's words are not good!" Gu Qing smiled and begged for mercy from Li Rui, who was becoming more and more like an adult.

Li Ming, who had already run back, asked Gu Qing for credit, and Gu Qing also praised him with a smile.

"Our family Ming'er is also older, and he is becoming more sensible. Grandma is really happy the more she looks at it. ”

Li Ming grinned happily, and then covered his mouth with a frightened expression.

When Gu Qing looked at Li Rui and Li Jun, he couldn't help but turn his head and snicker.

Li Ming has also fallen into growing pains recently, but his troubles are not the same as his brother's.

Li Rui entered adolescence, began to change his voice, grew an Adam's apple, and had various unspeakable changes, and he began to lose his baby teeth one by one.

In fact, his teeth had begun to loosen and fall out when he was seven years old, but they didn't fall out as often as they did in the winter this year.

No, he was supported by his mother to go to Zhiyun Courtyard to get something at noon, he ran too quickly, fell down, and the two front teeth were originally loose, which is good, and it fell out completely.

This is also the reason why Li Rui and the Fang clan have been fighting for so long, and even Imperial Doctor Bai is optimistic about Gu Qing, and Li Ming has not appeared in the front yard.

Li Ming's front teeth fell off, and he was bleeding all over, and the people of Zhiyun Courtyard were even more frightened to death. Siyun went to the front yard to take care of the unconscious Mrs. Tai, Hua Mama coughed badly, and on the twenty-seventh, she invited herself to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and Zhiyun Courtyard can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader, and now this little ancestor fell in their yard, which is the unfavorable rhythm of Zhiyun Courtyard.

Fortunately, it is the last day of the year, and if there are so many things tomorrow, it will be a difficult time for a year!

Gu Qing fainted while sitting in the carriage, and everyone didn't dare to move her, and after waking up, her hands, feet and buttocks were numb for a long time, and it took a long time to recover.

Li Rui personally carried Gu Qing back to Zhiyun Courtyard, at this time Li Ming entered the North Park with a bad face, Li Rui thought that he knew that he was disrespectful to his aunt, and had an opinion on him, thinking about how to explain it to him.

As a result, no matter how Gu Qing and Li Rui teased him, he refused to open his mouth.

Later, Gu Qing pretended to be distressed by Li Ming's sadness, and Li Ming opened his mouth aggrievedly:

"Grandma, brother, my teeth...... My teeth are gone! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them saw two toothless doorways in Li Mingxiao's mouth, and the wind was still leaking when he spoke......

Gu Qing couldn't hold back all of a sudden, Da Lu laughed, and almost didn't collapse again. Li Rui couldn't help it, and he laughed out loud.

Today, he first ran around asking for a doctor, and then taught a priest of unknown origin, and then cried again when he woke up Gu Qing, to be honest, his heart was not very relaxed, his nerves were tense, and he didn't adjust for a long time.

But when his younger brother opened his mouth and said with a sad face that his teeth were gone, he couldn't help the schadenfreude and laughed.

This smile suddenly made my heart feel much lighter.

If you don't grow up quickly, share a little for me! Should!

"The tenders are still laughing at me! Oh don't pear tender birds! Li Ming's accusatory eyes were too cola, and there were still a lot of saliva foams in his leaky teeth that spurted out with his unhappy voice, and Li Rui on the side wiped his face, crying and laughing on his face.

Gu Qing smiled and fell on Li Rui, who was supporting him, and looked at the two small black holes with great joy.

Burst!

Oh! Who will save her! She can't be happy and sad now!

The author has something to say: go and go, swim and swim, I don't worry if I don't learn and don't know, I don't tell the truth when I meet people, and I get stuck in the tiger's mouth!

Li Xiaopang: Grandma help! There are bad guys!

Gu Qing: I'm not as good as anyone else......
