With Long Yuheng, Xueqing's days are busier, she first takes Long Yuheng to run horses outside the plum garden every morning, and then comes back to practice swords, while staring at Long Yuheng to practice basic skills such as Zama step.

In the afternoon, she taught Long Yuheng to write and paint, and she had already thought about it, and she would teach him everything in the same way, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since he has a foundation, it won't be too difficult to learn. In addition, she would give him a book every five days and let him find time to read it on his own, and then she would test him.

And Huangfu Zongyi, he doesn't make trouble, he watches his daughter and "grandson" practice martial arts every day, which is very pleasant, and he sometimes has to open his mouth to guide Long Yuheng a few words. Long Yuheng looked at Xue Qing to ask for her opinion, and when he saw her nodding, he obediently listened.

Huangfu Zongyi is definitely a capable person, otherwise he would not be able to become the prime minister of the dynasty from an unknown junior, although he is crazy, his knowledge is still there, if Long Yuheng can understand his words, he will definitely benefit a lot.

The weather is getting cooler, and a few snowflakes are starting to fall in the sky from time to time. The red plum blossoms in the plum forest began to bloom slowly, and the red plum blossoms reflected the snow, which was very beautiful. Every time Xue Qing and Long Yuheng come back, they will stay in this plum forest for a while, the difference is that one is looking at the beautiful scenery and the other is looking at the beauty.

The Chinese New Year's Eve in the plum garden is far less lively than the Qinghui Garden, mainly because the owner is in a bad mood. Xue Qing didn't want to be too disappointed, so she asked Long Yuheng to take Huangfu Zongyi and his subordinates to play together, while she watched from the sidelines. The current Huangfu Zongyi and Long Yuheng get along very well, and Huangfu Zongyi loves this "grandson" very much, as if he wants to make up for what he owed him before.

At night, Xue Qing instructed the people to put a large round table in the hall, which was full of vegetables. Xue Qing asked everyone to sit down to eat together, and as soon as the table was full, it suddenly became lively.

The subordinates now know that although the young lady does not like to talk on weekdays, she is not a difficult person to get along with, she has no arrogance, and she is good to the subordinates. But if it touches her bottom line, the young lady will not be able to speak. What is the bottom line, it is uncle.

During the banquet, Xue Qing pulled out a smile, sent red envelopes to the subordinates one by one, and also gave Long Yuheng one, but Long Yuheng only cared about looking at her smile, and was in a trance for a while.

Winter goes to spring, time flies, and in a blink of an eye it has come to August of the following year. Long Yuheng's talent is very good, and in less than a year, he has practiced his swordsmanship very well.

His calligraphy and painting are also small achievements because of their foundation. As for playing chess, Xue Qing gave him a few chess books, let him understand it by himself, and then played a few games with Huangfuzong. Xue Qing is not reluctant, after teaching him the basics, he will choose by himself, if he likes it, he will practice it by himself, if he doesn't understand it, ask if he doesn't understand, and buy any books he wants.

Long Yuheng didn't pick it, he would learn whatever Xue Qing taught, and he studied very seriously. Although Xue Qing never forced him, he didn't want to disappoint his sister. Xue Qing is not as stingy as his father, and if he makes a little progress, he will give him encouragement.

She also often persuaded him not to read too late every day, to rest well, and to like it from the bottom of his heart in order to experience the fun. This method is much more useful than his father's way of upbringing. Long Yuheng not only learns quickly, but also learns happily and easily.

In the imperial study of the Great Qin Palace, Qin Yixuan had just finished approving the recital, and rubbed his forehead tiredly. It happened that Queen Lei Yulin asked to see her, so she let in.

After Xue Qing left, the concubines in the harem became a tool to entrap the officials of the previous dynasty. Lei Yulin and Lei Yuhua grew up with him since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the Lei family is also his loyal supporters, so he can't be treated badly, so one was named the queen and the other was named the virtuous concubine. The school-age daughters of some other important ministers were also canonized and summoned into the harem according to the importance of the ministers.

The competition for favor in the harem is not very strong, and many concubines also understand in their hearts that as long as their mother's status is stable, loyal to the emperor, and they keep to themselves, their status will be very stable. Moreover, the emperor is gentle and elegant, the rain and dew are evenly wet, there is no favoritism, and a lot of unnecessary troubles are avoided.

But there are always some people who are not satisfied and vainly try to compete for favor, but there are queens and concubine sisters who join forces to suppress it, and they can't make any waves.

In fact, when it comes to who wants to compete for favor the most, it is the queen and the virtuous concubine, the two highest-ranking and relatively most favored women. Fight with whom, a concubine who is not in the palace.

This is going back to the time when the emperor first ascended the throne. After the emperor ascended the throne, he expanded the harem, because of the orderliness of the young and old, Lei Yulin sat on the throne of the queen and stayed in the Chaoyang Palace not far from Zhengyang Palace, which was also satisfied.

Then, she found that the emperor's most trusted father-in-law, Gonggong Li, was supervising the repair of a beautiful palace, although it was some distance from Zhengyang Palace, and it was not very grandiose, but it was exquisite and beautiful, with pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, which had a unique flavor.

What's more, after the renovation was completed, the gate was hung with the three big characters of "Guan Ju Palace", and she could see at a glance that this was the emperor's own inscription. Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, the meaning of this expression is obvious.

Lei Yulin guessed whether this was for herself or for her sister, although their sisters had a good relationship and united to deal with those concubines who had different thoughts, but both of them loved the emperor very much, and they would still secretly compete in their hearts.

So she quietly inquired, and after Gonggong Li stuffed the silver ticket, he whispered: "This is for Concubine Li's mother, and the queen must not say it." Otherwise, my head ......."

"Concubine Li?"

"Yes, Concubine Li, she is also the emperor's own seal, and the couple is deeply affectionate."

Lei Yulin sent Gonggong Li away expressionlessly, but the handkerchief in his hand was about to be torn. Concubine, deep affection? The grade of the concubines of this Great Qin Palace, there are queens, noble concubines, and then four concubines: virtuous, virtuous, gentle, and virtuous, when did a concubine appear?

can make the rule-abiding emperor do something out of the ordinary, and there is only one person in the whole world. A good Guan Ju Palace, a good couple. She also knew a little about Li Xueqing's refusal to be the queen, but she didn't expect her Li Xueqing to be gone, she abandoned this harem, but the emperor still regarded her as a treasure, and deliberately left her a special dormitory and title.

"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the emperor just ascended the throne at this time last year, and he was busy with court affairs, and this harem was also empty, so he didn't do it. Whether to hold a moon viewing party this year, so that the sisters in the palace can get together and have a lively time. "Literature is great

Qin Yixuan said with a smile: "These things, the queen can just watch and handle them, and there is no need to ask me." But his thoughts flew out of the clouds.

"The concubines all hope that the emperor likes it, so they want to tell the emperor."

"Okay, I'm ready. Stand down, Queen, I still have some business to attend to. ”

Lei Yulin was a little unwilling, hesitated for a moment, and retreated. The emperor looked mild-mannered, but she knew that no one could stop him from doing anything, and what he said was unquestionable. He said to retreat, and it would be boring to keep it any longer.

As soon as she left, Qin Yixuan immediately called the internal officials: "Come on, go to Xuanzhu Guard and Qiao Bian Xiu immediately!" ”

Soon, Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo rushed over. Although the two of them are Qin Yixuan's henchmen, they have neither family background nor fame, so Qin Yixuan temporarily gave them a low-grade official position, and they will be slowly promoted in the future.

The two knelt down together: "Minister Zhu Xiaolong (Qiao Shuo) see the emperor." ”

After Qin Yixuan asked the others to all retreat, he hurriedly got them up, and said happily: "Xiaolong, Xiaoshuo, do you remember what day it will be in the next few days?" ”

This sudden question stunned the two of them all at once, and Xiaolong thought for a while before saying, "If you have to say anything special, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in more than ten days." ”

"The emperor is talking about the covenant of Zhulu?" Xiao Shuo was clever and reacted quickly, no wonder the emperor was so excited, it turned out that he still remembered Xue Qing.

"That's right, the appointment of the bamboo house on August 15!" Qin Yixuan's expression became excited, at this moment, he seemed to have become that Xia Hongying again, "You go back and prepare, and when I arrange the government affairs properly, we will leave tomorrow afternoon." ”

"But Your Majesty, let's go to Zhulu, hurry up and get there in five days, go slower, we can arrive in eight days, will it be too early to go tomorrow?" Xiaolong asked.

Xiao Shuo secretly tugged at his sleeve, this little dragon, why did he stay in the palace for so long and still not learn well.

Fortunately, Qin Yixuan didn't care, and explained with a smile: "Let's go early, I'm afraid that there will be something on the road and it will be late, and Xueqing won't wait for us." ”

"Yes, we'll go back and prepare." Afraid that Xiaolong would talk nonsense again, Xiao Shuo snatched the words.

"Go, tomorrow, you will wait for me at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city."

Out of the imperial study, Xiao Shuo pulled Xiaolong to a remote place and whispered: "Xiaolong, don't you understand, the emperor has never let go of Xueqing, you must not ruin his interest." He is now His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom, not our brother Red Sakura. ”

"But there are not more than a dozen maidens in his harem, and they all say that the emperor is ...... rain and dew," Xiaolong still wondered.

"If Concubine Li is in Guanju Palace, do you think the emperor will still be wet with rain and dew?" Xiao Shuo shook her head helplessly.

"You mean...... Concubine Li is Xue Qing? Xiaolong finally understood, "That position was reserved for her by the emperor?" ”

"Yes. The reason why the emperor was able to achieve even rain and dew was because none of those ladies could enter his heart, and fortunately they were just to stabilize the previous dynasty. Didn't you notice that once a lady is suddenly favored or left out, then her maiden family will definitely change. ”

"I see."

"Also, the emperor is usually moody, when have you ever seen him so excited?"

"Since I arrived at Ten Thousand Swords Villa, I really haven't been." Xiaolong pondered, "I see, in the past, he would write his mood on his face because of Xue Qing. So, this time the emperor is very excited, this is a good thing! ”

"Well, let's pay attention." Xiao Shuo is not as optimistic as him, "The emperor went to Zhulu to see Xueqing with enthusiasm, but he may not be able to get his wish." Ice Flame died indirectly because of us, and Xue Qing didn't necessarily want to see us. ”

"If this is the case, the emperor will be disappointed, maybe he will be furious, and we will suffer." Xiaolong finally got his senses.

"That's not it, the emperor will think of brotherhood somewhat, in short, be careful. I think the emperor wants to bring Xue Qing back this time, then he will definitely be disappointed. ”
