Chapter 1427 - Eye Medicine
"Where's Brother Bao?" Empress Dowager Xue played with Tianya for a while, and suddenly realized that Brother Bao'er hadn't shown up so far?
Sweet girl smiled and took the eye medicine, pouted and said, "Then you still need to ask?" Must have slipped out again to play tricks. ”
Empress Dowager Xue felt a pain in her brain, as Brother Bao grew older, this kid became more and more unable to sit still, and from time to time he had to sneak out of the palace to play.
"Come on, go and see Brother Bao'er, is Zhang Wu in charge there? Hongu had something to ask him. Empress Dowager Xue was angry and planned to use the inner servant Zhang Wu to open the knife to deter Brother Bao'er's little baby who loved to be wild.
Tianya rolled her eyes, seeing that the people around Bao Ge'er were about to be unlucky, but she continued to take eye medicine, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Zhang Wu will definitely say that he doesn't know where Bao Ge'er went." ”
This is definitely adding fuel to the fire! Tang Shuyi, who has been waiting on the side, is like a blind man eating rice balls, and he knows very well in his heart: Brother Bao must have done something wrong again and offended Tianya fiercely.
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Xue's anger suddenly became stronger, and she said viciously: "Go and call Zhang Wu!" ”
The sweet girl who fanned the yin wind and lit the ghost fire secretly showed a smug smile, but was fully seen by Tang Shuyi, who had been silently watching her.
Tang Shuyi was originally called Bottle, because she had shared hardships with Empress Dowager Xue and Li Zhongyi, so she had been responsible for managing household affairs and palace affairs.
If it weren't for Li Qiniang to compete for favor, Tang Shuyi would have always enjoyed the authority of the old Li family compound.
Although the beauties who entered the palace in the draft were not good, Li Zhongyi did not have much interest in them, and Tang Shuyi was not worried about being spoiled.
It's just that Li Zhongyi's love for Li Qiniang can definitely be described as a favor, which makes Tang Shuyi have a heart problem.
After all, Li Jiyi, the eldest son born to Tang Shuyi, is Li Zhongyi's first son. At present, without a son-in-law, Li Jiyi is naturally closest to the throne of the crown prince.
Before Li Zhongyi led the army to the south, Li Qiniang was found to be pregnant, which made Tang Shuyi somewhat uncomfortable.
Whether the mother is more expensive than the son, or the son is more expensive than the mother, Tang Shuyi has reason to believe that as long as Li Qiniang gives birth to a son, maybe before he grows up, he will already sit on the throne of the prince!
In addition to Li Qiniang, Zhe Saihua and Fei Meiniang also have a son under their knees, and they will all be strong competitors for Li Jiyi.
In the backyard of Lao Li's house, the longer he stayed, the more Tang Shuyi could feel the supreme authority that the emperor's biological mother, that is, the queen mother, had.
Now, what is more beneficial to Tang Shuyi is that Empress Dowager Xue likes and supports her as always.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi's mother and son are both extremely nostalgic people. With Tang Shuyi's humble background, he can actually take the power of the six palaces, which is unprecedented!
"Queen Mother, there are still some tricky things to deal with on the concubine's side, so I will leave first?" Tang Shuyi naturally couldn't watch Zhang Wu, a crony next to Brother Bao, be punished, but she didn't have the courage to spoil Tianya's good deeds, so she simply slipped away, out of sight and out of mind, and didn't get into trouble.
Empress Dowager Xue has always treated Tang Shuyi as her own daughter, and when she saw that Tang Shuyi wanted to avoid suspicion, she nodded and agreed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Shuyi walked down the steps, Tianya chased him out of the hall and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you didn't plan to report to Zhang Wu, right?" ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, the joke between Tianya and Brother Bao, borrowed her Tang Shuyi's 800 guts, and she didn't dare to intervene.
"Look at what you said, I'm going over there to stare at the dog baby and read." Tang Shuyi is also a very shrewd person, in order to dispel Tianya's doubts, she deliberately pointed in the opposite direction to Zhang Wu.
Tianya ran to Tang Shuyi's side in a few steps, forcibly grabbed her left arm, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, sister-in-law loves Tianya the most." ”
Tang Shuyi had a headache, the little lady in front of her was only twelve years old, and she was already so difficult. If she grows up, then what's the point?
"Silly, don't worry, the queen mother has her own opinions." Tang Shuyi pretended to be confused and deliberately perfunctory.
Tang Shuyi knew very well in his heart that Empress Dowager Xue, who had always been merciful, would definitely not kill Zhang Wuxiao even if she punished him lightly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tang Shuyi to get the news that Zhang Wu ate the head of the row at the Empress Dowager Xue and received five canes on his buttocks.
"Mother, the child is really envious of the third uncle, it is not the first time that he has slipped out of the palace to play!" Li Jiyi put down the book in his hand and complained to Tang Shuyi seriously.
Tang Shu Yixin said that even if Empress Dowager Xue spoiled Brother Bao again, Brother Bao would not be qualified to inherit the unification. In other words, no matter how ridiculous Bao Ge'er is, there is no big loss.
However, Li Jiyi is different. If he does something ridiculous and makes Li Zhongyi sad, it is equivalent to giving up the throne of the crown prince to others.
The reason is such a reason, but it is impossible for Tang Shuyi to talk directly to Li Jiyi about the mystery, so she has to say patiently: "After your father comes back, he will definitely test you." When the time comes, if you can't answer, aren't you afraid that your ass will bloom? ”
Sure enough, as Tang Shuyi expected, as long as she moved out of Li Zhongyi's big Buddha, Li Jiyi would wilt immediately, and she didn't dare to complain anymore.
To tell you the truth, Li Zhongyi has always been very close to his sons in terms of homework and life.
Originally, the important ministers of the imperial court all hoped to choose a few well-educated Confucians to be teachers for several princes.
Who would have thought that Li Zhongyi played his cards unreasonably, not only did he not invite Da Confucian to be a teacher for his sons, but he took the initiative to take on the main responsibility of professor.
Today, there are two masters of several princes, and they are all masters who have passed the state examination but have not been admitted to the jinshi, and they have very good handwriting.
The princes' masters did only a few things, one was that the popes were literate, and the other was to teach them calligraphy.
As for the specific study subjects of the princes, they are all textbooks and syllabuses compiled by Li Zhongyi himself.
"My sons, you must not be nerds who die reading!"
This is Li Zhongyi's original words, and Tang Shuyi has always remembered it vividly.
After all, being a mother loves her son!
After Li Jiyi finished his homework, Tang Shuyi let him out, and let him go to play with a few younger brothers.
In any case, as a qualified heir to the throne, at least on the surface, you must respect your elders and love your younger siblings.
It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs!
Li Zhongyi is both the emperor and the father, he can't just watch the heir he chooses to slaughter the rest of his sons, right?
It wasn't until the evening that Brother Bao came back from outside the palace, and before he returned to the palace, he was surrounded by the attendants and maids in the Queen Mother's palace to see the Queen Mother Xue.
"Queen mother, the child doesn't dare anymore." As soon as Brother Bao saw the palace, he immediately spread his legs and threw himself into the arms of the Empress Dowager Xue.
When Bao Ge'er was still outside the door, he had already seen Zhang Wu who had been beaten, and with his intelligence, he obviously knew that something was wrong.
Because, it's not the first time that Brother Bao has slipped out to play. Previously, Zhang Wu had never been beaten.
Empress Dowager Xue glanced at Brother Bao'er who was in her arms with a dead face, her heart was already soft, but on the surface she had to continue to do it.
"I'll tell you the truth, you sneak out again to play tricks, Zhang Wu......" Empress Dowager Xue was about to say cruel words, but Brother Bao hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "The child doesn't dare anymore, really doesn't dare." ”
"Queen Mother, what is he afraid of?" The sweet girl on the side is completely watching the play and is not afraid of the gong, and is in a hurry to add oil and vinegar.
After being reminded by Tianya, Empress Dowager Xue's heart, which had already softened, suddenly hardened, and she shouted: "Evil animal, if you dare to sneak out of the palace again, none of the people in your palace want to live." ”
The queen mother was really ruthless, and the inside and outside of the palace were immediately silent, and the attendants and palace maids held their breath one by one, for fear of getting bad luck.
No matter how naughty Brother Bao is, he is also the meat that fell from Empress Dowager Xue's stomach, how can he be willing to punish him?
However, the attendants and palace maids in Bao Ge'er's palace are all going to suffer. They have no half-dime relationship with Empress Dowager Xue, and if they are killed by Empress Dowager Xue's order, even Li Zhongyi can't say anything.
"Queen Mother, don't scare the child, okay?" Brother Bao knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly wanted to turn around.
Tianya rolled her eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "The queen mother is also worried about you, you are a good dog biting that, you don't know the hearts of good people!" ”
The original words are actually a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, this is a strange word that Li Zhongyi taught to Tianya, she is good, and she uses it to fan the yin wind and ignite the ghost fire.
However, Tianya didn't fall well this time, and Empress Dowager Xue suddenly sneered: "Tianyaer, don't think that the things you did behind my back are unaware. Actually, if I want to know, I'll know. ”
Tianya didn't watch out, and after eating Empress Dowager Xue's row, she had to sulk with her mouth.
"Hmph, don't expect me not to know, hand over the things, lest I have to have someone search you." Empress Dowager Xue glared at Brother Bao angrily, and just a word forced him into a corner.
"Queen Mother, what are you going to hand it over?" Brother Bao pretended to be confused, and wanted to continue to fool around.
"Hmph, the palace is strictly forbidden, I want to sneak out to play, I can't even get out of the three doors, you are good, I slipped out many times. Hmph, you must be hiding the waist card given by the eldest brother. "As long as Tianya seizes the opportunity, she will give Bao Ge'er eye medicine.
Brother Bao was so angry that his nose was crooked, but Empress Dowager Xue was right in front of him, and he couldn't have a seizure.
"Your sister has made it very clear, what's the matter, why don't you take it out and try it?" Empress Dowager Xue was really angry, and she had to force Brother Bao to hand over her waist card before she would give up.
What Tianya said is right, the palace ban can be described as unusually strict. Regardless of whether you are a dragon son or a phoenix grandson, as long as you don't have a specific waist card, let alone sneak out of the palace gate, even if you are within ten zhang of the palace gate, you have already been taken by the defenders.
Empress Dowager Xue actually always knew that Brother Bao had a waist card that was easy to reward for Li Zhong, with which he could freely enter and exit the palace gate.
In the past, Empress Dowager Xue had been pretending to be confused, but in fact, she deliberately released water, not wanting her old son to be too stuffy in the palace.
Who would have thought that Brother Bao was so carried away playing today that he rushed back before the palace was closed, how could Empress Dowager Xue not be annoyed?
In case, Brother Bao is outside the palace, there is a mistake, or there is a good one, and the Empress Dowager Xue must not cry to death?
Raising a child knows that his mother is hard, and this is not a bully for me!
Waiting for Brother Bao to hand over the waist card, Empress Dowager Xue called Tang Shuyi again and told her carefully: "Qi Niang is pregnant and needs to raise a baby, you are in charge of palace affairs on weekdays, I will tell you." In the future, Brother Bao is not allowed to sneak out of the Chengtian Gate and the Xiangfu Gate, understand? ”
Brother Bao had just made a big mistake, and Empress Dowager Xue issued a grounding order, even if Tang Shuyi wanted to help him say a few words, he couldn't find a reason, so he had to squat down and agree.
This Bao Ge'er was deflated, and the sweet girl was as happy as a little fox, like a nasty fly, circling around Bao Ge'er.
Tang Shuyi sighed secretly, her sister-in-law let Empress Dowager Xue develop an innocent personality and marry her in-laws in the future, but how could she get it?
However, in the matter of Tianya, Empress Dowager Xue is in charge, and Li Zhongyi is the gatekeeper, and it is not her turn to tell Tang Shuyi to dictate.
Empress Dowager Xue also knew that Tianya's personality was inappropriate, but she didn't particularly care about it. Empress Dowager Xue has a clear heart, Tianya is the eldest princess of this dynasty, and no one is willing to marry her into the door.
The reason is obvious, with the noble status of Tianya, after the parents of the attached Ma Ye met, they had to salute her according to the rules, isn't this unpleasant to find themselves?
Therefore, in Tianya's future marriage, she can only count on Li Zhongyi to forcibly pull Lang into a match.
However, Li Zhongyi's idea is to let her fall in love freely with her sweet temperament. Whoever she likes, Li Zhongyi will decide who to marry her, so as not to leave regrets in the future.
As the eldest princess of this dynasty, Tianya's marriage could not have gone well everywhere and everything went well. Li Zhongyi's idea is very simple, instead of marrying her only sister to a man she doesn't like, it is better to let her live with the person she loves.
If there are too many rules and etiquette, Li Zhongyi can send a big mansion as a princess's mansion, and let Tianya try to avoid meeting with the man's parents, so there will not be too many troubles.
When having dinner, as usual, in the West Flower Hall in the Empress Dowager Xue's palace, only women above the concubine level are qualified to accompany Empress Dowager Xue to eat.
Unlike Li Zhongyi, Empress Dowager Xue is particularly fond of sweets, and in her palace, all kinds of desserts can be said to be continuous all year round.
Except for Li Qiniang, who was pregnant, all the famous women around Li Zhongyi gathered in the West Flower Hall.
Empress Dowager Xue glanced at the audience for a week, and all the women present were present, but Brother Bao was the only one, which was particularly eye-catching.
According to the rules of the palace, after the prince and grandson reach the age of ten, they must move out of the palace.
However, Empress Dowager Xue was reluctant to give up Brother Bao'er, so she has been delayed until now. Brother Bao is over twelve years old, and he is still hanging out with the women in the palace, so he is really not very decent.
The women in the palace, except for Empress Dowager Xue, Tianya, all the female officials and all the palace maids, are all Li Zhongyi's women.
Although Brother Bao is still young, he is a man after all, and he stays in the backyard all day long, and after a long time, it will inevitably cause gossip.
Empress Dowager Xue naturally knew such a reason, so she planned to tighten Brother Bao'er's reins for the time being, lest he make jokes after opening the mansion alone in the future.
