"Happy. It's a pleasure. The queen forced out a few words.

Mr. Zhao opened the school. The children are happy to come to school again.

King Joan came to the back garden, where the children were resting. King Qiong and Mr. Zhao walked side by side, asking about the children.

Then I saw the children in front of me surrounding a tall boy of twelve or three years old, and the boy was holding a stick and practicing his fists and feet, and King Qiong walked over and asked, "What is your name?" ”

The boy's eyes were not big, but they were very attentive, and he looked at King Qiong and said, "My name is Shu'er." ”

"This is the son of a nurse," Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "very skinny." ”

"Oh," King Joan seemed to like him, "you like to practice martial arts?" ”

"Yes, I also like to watch Prince Joan ride a horse." The tree said loudly.

"Well, that's good," said King Joan, picking up the tree and climbing over the back wall. He came to the stables of King Qiong's mansion, and then said to the trees, "Go, choose one for yourself." ”

Shu'er looked at King Qiong and made sure that King Qiong really asked him to choose a horse, and ran excitedly towards a jujube red war horse, although this horse is not very old, but it has a very strong temperament. It's also very strong.

King Qiong smiled with satisfaction, it seems that Shu'er is still very discerning.

The tree led the horse. Grab the horse's mane and climb up. The horse was so hurt that he raised his front hooves and kicked the tree far away, but the tree was not a good stubble, and he got up from the ground and ran at the horse again.

King Qiong nodded, he was a master who was not afraid of death, but he was a little small and couldn't reach the horse.

King Qiong rushed over with an arrow step, and gently cushioned the left foot of the tree with his hand, and the tree lifted his right leg and stepped on the horse's back, but the horse was unwilling. Neighing and standing up his front hooves, he tried to shake the tree down, but the tree held the reins tightly but would not let go. After galloping for a few hundred meters, the horse complied.

Shu'er tugged on the reins of the horse and proudly returned to King Qiong.

King Joan looked at the tree with satisfaction. Grab the tree off the horse and throw it to the ground, "This horse is for you." ”

"Really," thought Shu'er, thinking that she had not heard clearly, asked King Joan again, "shall I ride as I please?" ”

"It's yours if it's given to you, of course you can ride whatever you want." King Joan walked straight forward.

"Thank you, Lord Qiong," Shu'er was so happy that she asked again, "can I stop reading and write in the future, and only come to ride a horse." ”

"No," said King Qiong, his face darkened, "and only after he has read the words can he come and ride a horse." ”

Shu'er nodded disappointedly.

The tree followed King Joan closely, and came in through the front door of the house.

The nurse, who was playing with the children in the yard, saw Shu'er coming in after King Qiong, and thought something had happened, "Shu'er, you can't read well, go outside to cause trouble again." ”

"No, mother," the tree ran over patting her buttocks. He only felt the pain in his butt just now, "Prince Qiong gave me a horse." ”

"Ah," the nurse was stunned. "Thank you, Lord Qiong, this kid is too skinny, I'm afraid he will cause trouble."

"Well, a little guts, train hard, and you will be a general in the future." King Joan complimented.

The nurse was so happy that she didn't know what to say, "My ancestors have never produced talents, thank you so much Lord Qiong." ”

King Qiong called Nie Tiancheng and discussed with him, "In the future, when you have to be free, come and train the children in the training school, horseback riding, archery, sword dancing and sword playing, let them learn." ”

"What does King Joan mean?" Nie Tiancheng asked puzzled.

"Lie down and taste the guts." King Qiong said word by word.

"That's a good idea." Nie Tiancheng said, "Other palaces have their own caretakers, and they all recruit some fat and strong people to support a façade, and they don't have real skills." ”

"Yes, so I don't do that," said King Joan, "and what I need is a real general." ”

"Well, yes, King Qiong has been running a school, and there will be no suspicion outside."

King Qiong chose more than a dozen children who were still strong and taught them martial arts every day after the school.

King Qiong personally taught them when he was fine, and let Nie Tiancheng teach him when he had something. Every day after dinner, King Qiong would personally teach Shu'er to ride a horse and shoot arrows.

In order not to be too public, King Qiong called Shu'er's father to also enter King Qiong's mansion, take care of the flowers and plants in the back garden, and arrange the nurse's family in King Qiong's mansion.

One year, two years, three years have passed, and the country and the people are safe.

The emperor saw that King Qiong had no intention of usurping the throne. gradually relaxed his precautions against King Qiong, and no longer mentioned the matter of military power.

Xigong Niangniang also gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and the mother is more precious than the son, not only the emperor favors, but the queen is also very loved.

The queen mother, but she couldn't afford to be sick, and her health deteriorated. The emperor is not allowed to think of the queen once a year.

On this day, the queen's palace maid reported to the emperor, the queen was very sick, and wanted to see the emperor, the emperor reluctantly agreed to come to the queen's palace bed, and saw that the queen had been so thin that her cheeks were sunken and her skin was covered with bones.

The emperor didn't want to look at the queen more, and said, "I have already found the best imperial doctor for you, and I am busy with the music every day, so how can I have so much time to accompany you." ”

"Your Majesty, when you inherited the throne, I also helped you, and now I am seriously ill and you ignore it, have you forgotten what I did for you at the beginning?" The queen questioned the emperor sadly.

"You interfere with the affairs of my court every day, I haven't sent you into the cold palace, you are already the emperor's grace, what do you want." The emperor said fiercely,

The emperor's words made the queen completely desperate, and she finally begged the emperor for permission to see her cousin.

"You can see whoever you want," the emperor threw down a sentence coldly, turned and left.

The queen's palace maid came to King Qiong's mansion and said that the queen was seriously ill and wanted to see Zhao Gongzi.

Zhao Gongzi didn't want to go, Chun Nuan persuaded. "Childe, let's go and see the queen, after all, you grew up together, and the queen has no relatives in the palace, so it's pitiful."

Qiu Xun also persuaded. "Since the queen has seen you, she must have something to tell you, she is already seriously ill, so she has fulfilled her wish."

Zhao Gongzi had to come to the harem and enter the queen's bedroom, Zhao Gongzi was startled, he didn't recognize this as his once beloved cousin.

The queen was already so thin that she had lost her appearance, and on her sunken cheeks, the bright eyes that had always looked at him with affection had dimmed.

"Cousin, why are you so sick?" Zhao Gongzi asked distressedly.

"Cousin, I hate my father so much, why did you marry me to the palace," said the queen with all her strength, "I really want to go back to the past, and play the piano and recite poetry with my cousin." ”

"Cousin. Don't talk about it, take care of yourself. Zhao Gongzi didn't want her to be sad anymore.

"Help me up," the queen struggled to her feet. Zhao Gongzi hurriedly helped her, and the queen walked to a cabinet tremblingly, took out a tight small bag, and handed it to Zhao Gongzi, "Put it away, cousin, give it to King Qiong." ”

Finally, the queen couldn't help herself anymore and fell into Zhao Gongzi's arms. Zhao Gongzi picked up the queen and gently put her on the bed.

The queen said weakly in Zhao Gongzi's ear, "Please forgive me, the second princess is the Shilipo Manor that I burned, and I am jealous of her." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Gongzi was taken aback, he didn't know why the smart and beautiful cousin he once loved had become so terrifying. Return to King Qiong's Mansion. Zhao Gongzi quietly handed the small bag to King Qiong.

King Joan opened it and looked at it, stunned. This is the will of the former emperor who established the crown prince.

"This?" King Joan didn't understand what it meant. "The queen didn't say anything else?" ”

"No," Zhao Gongzi took the will from King Qiong, looked at the words carefully, and his face changed suddenly.

"Fake, cousin, you're too daring."

King Joan took the will, "You mean that the will of the former emperor is fake?" ”

"Yes," Zhao Gongzi said, "When I was a child, I often played games with my cousin to imitate handwriting, my cousin wrote the best, and she often imitated the calligraphy of many ancestors, although it was so true that others could not see it, but because I knew her shortcomings, only I could see it." ”

"Oh," said King Joan, looking at the will carefully.

"My cousin's own handwriting is very delicate, so the first point of her writing is very delicate, but when she writes, she can quickly cover it, so only I can see the small mistake when she writes."

King Qiong collected the will and let Qiu Xun put it away.

"There is one more thing," Zhao Gongzi looked at Qiu Xun guiltily, "Princess, the queen said that she burned down the manor in Shilipo because she was jealous of you." ”

"She did it." Qiu Xun was furious.

"My cousin used to be such a simple girl, why did she become like this?" Zhao Gongzi said sadly.

Zhao Gongzi returned to his house, and Chun Nuan asked him if the queen's illness was better. Zhao Gongzi looked at his sleeping daughter and said, "When you grow up in the future, you must be as kind and virtuous as your mother." ”

Chun Nuan snuggled in the arms of her son, and said gently, "You have to recognize a lot of words like your father, write poems, and play the piano." ”

In the blink of an eye, the little prince and the little lord have reached the age of going to school.

When Daddy was teaching, Xiao Runyu always sat next to Daddy and listened carefully. I seem to be able to understand it.

The little prince is very good at homework, and he is very studious, but the little county lord is not good, he doesn't like to study, and he always clamoves to go horseback riding with Brother Shu'er.

The tree has grown to half size. Strong and strong, after the training of King Qiong and General Nie, he can already fight well.

Sometimes King Qiong and General Nie are not there. He was able to train with a dozen boys. The little lord likes to run after him the most.

It was also in this year that the queen died. There was no big funeral in the palace, because the mother of the West Palace was pregnant again, and for fear of alarming the fetus, the queen left quietly.

After Xigong Niangniang gave birth to the third princess. After being established, this queen did not interfere in the affairs of the court, but she was extravagant, and the silver consumed every day was a year's labor of the villagers of a village.

The emperor's life is also becoming more and more arrogant and lascivious, ignoring the government.
