The little girl who suddenly ran out was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, and the hem of her long skirt dragged to the ground, although her age seemed to be only about eight or nine years old, but this dress was already quite a noblewoman's appearance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little girl seemed to have hidden behind the curtain before, and then broke free of something and suddenly ran in, but the cheerful pace and the eyes full of hope undoubtedly told the people in the hall that she was attracted by Ning Yue's story, and it seemed that her patience was not very good.

No one thought that there was someone hidden behind the inconspicuous curtain, and it was surprising enough to suddenly run out of such a little girl, but they didn't expect the maid in the palace to bow down and call her a princess.

The daughters of the princes during the Warring States Period were already called princesses, so this little girl who suddenly appeared was actually the daughter of the Marquis of Wei? Why is she here, Zhou Bian and the others' heads couldn't turn all of a sudden, but Ning Yue still thought a little more, that is, this was originally the place where the prince studied, and it was not surprising that the princess appeared here, but it was strange why Wei Hou brought these people from the royal family to **, is there any mystery in it? Could it be that it is just to meet the prince, but after seeing the prince, you can leave, isn't it?

Before the maid's voice landed, and Ning Yue's head hadn't thought through it thoroughly, the little princess had already run over, her clever big eyes looked around, and soon she recognized Ning Yue, who was older with a long beard, and ran to her, shouting, "What kind of problem?" You're really boring, just forget it after you finish talking about it, why do you still ask people to guess? ”

Ning Yue naturally wouldn't be bluffed by a child, and after the little princess's voice landed, she immediately stood up and bowed, "Princess, Ning's problem at that time was that when she wanted to study, she found that she had no books to read because of her family's poverty." ”

"And then?" The little princess nodded in satisfaction and asked.

"Zhihui, don't mess around." After the little princess walked out of the door curtain, a female voice full of majesty sounded, the door curtain shook, first out of two palace maids, and then, a beautiful woman slowly walked out from behind the door curtain.

It turned out that there were people behind the curtain.

At this time, Zhou Bian and the others also stood up and looked for prestige together, but they saw that the two young women in the lead were still dressed as maids, but the material and style were much better than the maids in the original palace, and then looked at the beautiful woman, but saw that she was about thirty years old, dressed luxuriously, on the wide black dress, with shining silk threads, embroidered one flower after another, and the corners and cuffs of the clothes were embroidered with colorful clouds, and then looked up, there were several headdresses of different styles inserted on the bun like clouds, and the pearls in the pendant of the headdress flashed, Like the ripples of a clear stream.

Zhou Bian couldn't help but widen his eyes, it was so luxurious, not to mention that he had never seen it in his mother, even the TV series in the memory of later generations was far inferior.

seemed to be a little disgusted by Zhou Bian's performance, and the beautiful woman snorted coldly, which was particularly dazzling in this hall.

At this time, Zhou Bian reacted, she can dress up like this, and she also calls the name of the princess, the identity of this beautiful woman is about to come out, that is Wei Hou's wife, Wei Guojun's wife.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian hurriedly lowered his head, arched his hands and made a salute, and at this moment, the voices of the two little maids in the hall also sounded, "Servant, meet Mrs. Jun!" ”

I didn't know what to call it for a while, Zhou Bian just bowed his head and gave his hand, but Ning Yue and Wang Sunman quickly bowed down, "Wang Chenning has seen Mrs. Jun." ”

"No courtesy." Empress Wei replied softly, and at the same time bent her knees slightly, made a woman's salute, and then raised her hands and helped the royal family members up.

"Zhou Jun came from afar, worked hard all the way, my marquis was not well entertained, and the widow is here to make amends to the king." Empress Wei said immediately, but there was some coldness in his tone, and he didn't mean to make amends.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the wives of the princes also claimed to be widows, but they claimed to be widows in front of the Son of Heaven, and Empress Wei was also a little arrogant. Zhou Bian naturally didn't take it seriously, but Ning Yue frowned.

"Mrs. Lao Jun is worried." Ning Yue replied lightly, and the two sides said a few words without mentioning the sudden appearance of Empress Wei and the princess.

"Gongsun is still on the court meeting, and he can't pull away, so the prince sent someone to inform me, let me arrange the king's accommodation, you come with me."

Speaking of which, Zhou Bian and his entourage felt that they had received the respect they deserved. It's just that there are still some doubts about why it has been so long, and why Mrs. Wei Hou has come in person.

After all, it's not a bad thing, even if it's a bad thing, you can't avoid it, Zhou Bian and his party immediately patted their skirts and followed Mrs. Wei to the outside of the hall, and the little princess also followed, Mrs. Wei frowned, and said softly, "Zhihui, go back to your own palace, don't follow behind." ”

"No, the queen mother, the child wants to know what to do if the family is poor and has no books to read." The little princess pleaded, and without waiting for her queen mother to answer, she turned to Ning Yue and asked, "Hurry up, did you read the book later?" ”

Mrs. Wei at the front stopped her steps, looked back at the little princess, wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end, it can be seen that this Mrs. Wei still dotes on her little daughter.

Ning Yue is also a master of observing words and feelings, so he also stopped his steps and arched his hand towards the little princess, "Back to the princess, if you don't study later, then Ning Mou can't stand here today as a minister of the Son of Heaven." ”

Hearing Ning Yue's words, Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the little princess, "Did Zhihui hear it, reading is still useful." ”

"But I'm a princess, so what's the use?" The little princess was extremely unconvinced, it seems that she usually has a headache for studying, and it can be seen that Wei Hou and his wife are very concerned about the education of their children.

"You haven't said how you read the book later?" Without waiting for the queen mother to answer, the little princess turned her head to look at Ning Yue again.

Facing the little princess's delicate appearance, Ning Yue smiled and said, "Has the princess heard of Liezi?" ”

"Liezi?"

The little princess's eyes lit up at first, then she lowered her head and pondered, and after a while, she raised her head again and exclaimed in surprise, "Liezi, I know, all the people who can be called sons are amazing characters, and I have read the stories of Liezi, such as Yugong moving mountains, haha, Liezi is really funny to write." ”

"But what does this have to do with your studies?" The little princess's eyes widened.

"The princess is wise, Ning Mou said that Princess Liezi knew that Yugong moved mountains, so it can be seen that reading is still useful, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to the princess." Ning Yue still had a faint smile.

And Mrs. Wei on the side had already shown a satisfied smile.

"So does the princess know where Liezi is from?" Ning Yue asked again.

After pondering for a while, the little princess tilted her little head and asked, "Does it matter?" ”

"Of course it has a relationship," Ning Yue arched his hands, and then said, "There is a saying in the book, 'Zi Liezi lives in Zheng Pu, a person who has been ignorant for forty years', Zheng Pu is Zheng Guopu's field, a few miles west of Zhongmuyi, after Liezi, there are countless collection of classics, which can be used by scholars to study. And Ning's house, just outside the suburbs of Zhongmuyi, went to it to ask for books to watch, and because he had no money, he copied books for him as a reward, and he studied for 15 years before he has today. ”

"Oh, I see." The little princess shook her little head and said. "That's interesting, too."

"Liezi's favorite thing is nothing more than reading, so his descendants also collect books. If the princess reads well, she will know that Liezi is Zheng Guopu's field in the west of Zhongmuyi, so Ning only needs to say that Liezi's descendants have books, so wouldn't it be much more interesting for the two of us to talk? Hehe! ”

Seeing that Ning Yue went around to reading again, even Zhou Bian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ning Yue, he didn't expect this guy to be so good.

Sure enough, the little princess tilted her head again, "In this way, reading is still interesting." But I was only nine years old, and my father had already praised me for my good reading. ”

"It is precisely because the princess is only nine years old that she happens to study, otherwise she would have to work hard to study when she is in her twenties like Ning." Ning Yue said with a smile.

Over there, Mrs. Wei had already laughed with satisfaction, "Zhihui, go back quickly, there's nothing for you here." ”

"Alright then, it's interesting to listen to you, and you'll tell me about it next time." The little princess shook her head and said.

"Ning is waiting for the princess! Princess, go slowly! Ning Yue arched his hand extremely cooperatively.

The little princess saluted Mrs. Wei and turned around to leave, but when she turned around, she remembered something, and looked back at Zhou Bian, "You are King Zhou, you are about the same age as me, I know where you live, and when I am tired of studying, I will go to you to play." For the sake of you as such an interesting courtier, if you have anything to do in the palace in the future, you can come directly to me, my name is Zhihui, hehe! ”

After that, the little princess jumped triumphantly and ran behind the curtain of the door that she flashed out, and several maids hurriedly followed.

The little girl let the king, Doctor Ning smiled. Please. As soon as she gave her hand, Mrs. Wei's attitude was obviously much better, and the group walked out of the hall, and at this time, the sky outside the hall was almost dark.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, Ning Yue stopped his steps, and before he could speak, Mrs. Wei opened his mouth first, "Doctor Ning wants to ask General Su and the others?" I've got people called, let's go first, they'll be there in a minute. ”

"Thank you so much!"

The group walked to the south, all the way the eunuchs and maids saluted, and it didn't take long to walk outside a small courtyard, which was also wide, three into three rooms before and after, and there was no big problem with three hundred people, at this time those waiters and guards who were not with them were already in the courtyard.

"This is a partial palace, it has been cleaned inside, and the utensils used are all new and high-quality items, and it will not be too aggrieved to be the king of the palace for the time being. I took my leave, and some of the rules in the palace will be explained by the superintendent, and if necessary, I can also talk to the superintendent. ”

After bringing the people here, Mrs. Wei took her leave. The captain of the guard was already waiting in the courtyard, and he was introduced into the backyard hall.

Carefully inspect all the houses in the courtyard, see that these houses are not bad, the place is also spacious, every guard and servant has a place to live, the injured slave on the road will have slept quietly, the kitchen and toilet in the courtyard are complete, and the imperial kitchen and attendants are separated, all the supplies are also new, the kitchen is full of meat, Wei Hou does not seem to be disadvantaged, and the most important thing is that there is no Wei person in this partial palace, even the ingredients are sent fresh, Leaving it to the royal attendants who accompanied him to handle and cook was extremely generous.

However, outside the palace, there are many Wei soldiers with bright armor guarding them, and it is easy to understand if you think about it, after all, this team of 100 armed forces is still in the palace, why don't the Wei people guard against it? It's just that I don't know if the Wei people are only limited to this courtyard for the actions of the royal family, especially Zhou Bian's own actions, but at present, Zhou Bian doesn't want to try it in person.

After walking around the courtyard, it was getting dark, and the maids of the royal family in the main hall had already lit the oil lamps, and the attendants brought a prepared dinner, which was plate after plate of cooked meat and delicate millet rice.

There are only four people who can accompany the Son of Heaven to dine together, although they are in a foreign country, but the royal family still has to be put out, so there is a maid kneeling next to each small table to sit and serve, and Zhou Bian's small table is naturally only Tian Qian.

As soon as we eat, we start talking, and Chinese have been like this since ancient times. As soon as he went down to the first piece of meat, Zhou Bian asked,

"Doctor Ning, Wei Hou's wife and princess hid behind the curtain to eavesdrop on our conversation, and then it was Wei Guojun's wife who personally led us here, what do you think about this?"

Zhou Bian couldn't think of any possibility, so he threw his hope on Ning Yue.

I didn't want Ning Yue to put down the luxury in his hand, and said with a smile, "The king is really wise, and His Majesty is still worried that the king has doubts, so he asked in front of Mrs. Wei, but I didn't think that the king would be able to hold back until he came back before asking me, and he really could bear it." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but glance at Ning Yue, he found that Ning Yue was getting better and better at sycophancy, Zhou Bian could imagine that if he had directly asked Mrs. Wei just now why did you hide behind the curtain, then Ning Yue would definitely praise himself for acting now, acting naïve and shallow in front of Wei people, just to confuse Wei people. In short, Ning Yue always has a sycophant.

So Zhou Bian replied unhappily, "Hurry up and answer this king's question." ”

"To be honest," Ning Yue waved his hands, "I don't know, I can't guess." ”

"However, Your Majesty thinks that this is by no means a bad thing, Mrs. Wei's status is higher than that of Gongsun Acne, she personally attracted us and others, wouldn't it give me more face for the royal family, think about it, I think it's okay to wait for an afternoon, what does the king think?"

"It's really just a matter of it, otherwise what's the matter?" Zhou Bian also followed Ning Yue's example and waved his hands.

"Huh! Then continue to eat, the Wei people are hospitable, I am waiting here for no shortage of meat, why bother to save for the Wei people? Ning Yue laughed.

The people in the hall laughed, and after receiving the king's nod, several men immediately let go and ate in large gulps.

At night, Anyi City is exceptionally quiet after heavy snowfall, and the stars are shining, and it should be a good day to say goodbye to the new year.

In the middle of the prosperous Anyi City, in the gorgeous Wei Palace, the grand banquet set up for the return of the master has ended, and the palace and the palace are already quiet, and at this time, **, in an extremely luxurious palace, the bead curtain is shining, the pearl is shining, if Zhou Bian is here, he may not be able to use what language to describe, or maybe words can no longer describe it.

In this spacious, bright and warm dormitory, Wei Hou, who had just finished bathing, was wearing a wide nightgown, and walked towards the beautiful woman Zhou Bian had seen that afternoon with a smile, and the latter also changed into a thin nightgown at this time, which was gorgeous and added a lot.

"Madam, the widow deliberately braved the snow to rush back from Puyang, just missing Madame, has Madame ever moved?"

"Where would it be to think about children, how can Puyang lack beautiful women, it is clearly for the New Year's sacrifice, otherwise why rush back at the end of December?" In front of the princes, Mrs. calls herself a child, although Mrs. Wei is forty, but she has been well maintained, or maybe there is some secret that cannot be humane, in short, at least for now, she still firmly ties her husband's heart.

"Madame's reason, naturally, can't be ignored." Wei Hou laughed a few times.

After some warmth, the two of them also chatted like an ordinary husband and wife, and suddenly,

"No, the boy firmly disagrees. If you want to tie up Zhou Tianzi, you can let other princesses marry him, why do you have to have my daughter? ”

Wei Hou couldn't help but wonder, "That Zhou Jun and Zhihui are the same age, good looking, smart and studious, Zhou people are good at business, Luoyang Palace is also luxurious, if Zhihui marries in Luoyang in the future, although it is not as good as the princes of the big countries, but it is not far behind, why is the lady not happy, is she afraid of marrying far away?" ”

"Definitely." Mrs. Wei said coquettishly, "In the afternoon, according to the meaning of the Hou Ye, the little boy took Zhihui to watch the Zhou monarch and ministers, and the Zhou monarch was okay, but he sat cross-legged in an indecent posture, how could such an unruly person be Zhihui's husband?" ”

"Hehe, so that's the case, the widow doesn't think it's a problem, but Zhihui is still young, let's talk about this later!" Wei Hou chuckled lightly, not caring very much.

After a while, there was another ** in the dormitory.
