Chapter 12 Winning the hearts and minds of people

The Queen Mother called Xing'er to come closer, but Xing'er refused to lean over, and said something about the great truth of "monarchs and ministers". At this moment, the Queen Mother's face was slightly gloomy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief for her, thinking that the Queen Mother would be angry...... However, no, instead of being angry, the Queen Mother laughed instead.

"You little baby...... Hahaha! The Queen Mother turned her anger into a laugh, "Listen, if this great truth of the monarch and the ministers just now came from the mouth of an old master, there would not be much disgust. But from this milky yellow mouth, there is really such a strand in it."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, everyone laughed again, still called Xing'er to come closer, Xing'er slowly moved her steps and went to the Queen Mother, the reason why the Queen Mother did not immediately move to the Queen Mother was due to the teaching of Mrs. Ruyu, Ruyu once taught Xing'er: "You have to remember, we are an official family, the official family should have the dignity of the official family, you are the young lady of the official family, whether you can go out of the cabinet or not, you must be able to afford a reserve and stability, my father is an official, and it is inevitable that officials will meet in the future, if the other party is high, then you can't interact with each other." Call it to come and go when it is called', you must hold a round to reflect your identity, which is called proportion. Ruyu's original teaching, Ruyu never imagined that the first time Xing'er "held" was to face the Queen Mother Lafayette, but this left an excellent impression on the Queen Mother.

Now Xing'er is slowly moving towards the Queen Mother, it is Aunt Liyue who once said that walking in front of the Queen Mother must be steady, gentle and endureable, one is the respect for the Queen Mother, and the other is the person who can show that it is the Queen Mother, Although Xing'er doesn't understand what it means to be "the Queen Mother's person", but Xing'er understands that Aunt Liyue's teaching must be good.

"Look, look, this little man walks a little dignified!" The Queen Mother smiled again, "Come on, come on, the mourning family hasn't seen a little girl of this age for several years, and there is a large group of boys' families." Tut-tut, look at this dignified energy, how painful it is. ”

Listening to the Queen Mother praising Xing'er a few times, Zhou Liang and Liyue both laughed secretly in their hearts, their plans are probably about to settle, if they can keep a child like Xing'er by their side, they will be many times stronger than that small family.

After a while, Xing'er was already standing in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother looked closer, and she liked Xing'er even more, first touching her little cheeks, then tidying up the clothes on her body, and then tightening the small bun on the top of her head, from top to bottom, there was nothing I didn't like, especially the red mole in the center of Xing'er's eyebrows, which looked particularly aura.

"Is this the piano you just played? What tunes are you playing? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er just played "Qingping Le", and she used this piano."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and motioned to move a set of small tables and chairs for Xing'er.

"Qing Pingle"? Do you know what the music means? ”

"Return, Xing'er knows."

"Tell me about it."

"Qingping Le" was originally a folk tune, it was a song for the people to celebrate the rest of their lives after the war and resume farming and mulberry weaving, and later it was re-edited by my great musician Ouyang Song, the tune is more melodious and cheerful, and there is a sense of peace and happiness, well......" Xing'er said, pausing for a moment, "It's a happy song!" ”

"Happy tunes...... Happy song, happy ...... The word happiness is well used! The Queen Mother smiled again. But how do you know the word 'happiness', you little man? ”

"My mother taught me!" Xing'er blurted out.

"Your mother is ......" The Queen Mother was about to ask, only to see Zhou Liang hand Liyue a color.

"Queen Mother Lafayette ......" Before Xing'er answered, Liyue suddenly reminded in a low voice, "Let's get close to the people......"

Zhou Liang once mentioned Xing'er's origin, from all aspects of Xing'er's living habits and demeanor, her background is by no means a family of ordinary people, and Zhou Liang also specially instructed that no one other than them should know this. The reason why Liyue stopped the topic of Xing'er's life experience in time was because she was afraid that Xiao Xing'er would tell her life experience, in case the Queen Mother was kind and helped her go home, that would ...... Isn't her and Zhou Liang's hard work in vain?! Therefore, Xing'er must not be allowed to tell his life experience, of course, Xing'er doesn't know, Xing'er still hopes for Zhou Liang.

"Oh, yes, yes." The Queen Mother came back to her senses and smiled again, "Today, these guests specially invited by the mourning family are all distinguished guests from the farmer's family, and they are also experts in farming and mulberry weaving. Agriculture, is the foundation of my Great Xia, since the founding of my ancestors in Great Xia, are farming and mulberry weaving in the first place, the Yude Emperor of this dynasty is more heavy agriculture and heavy mulberry, this year's mourning family banquet to these peasant women, but also for the emperor to deify the people, showing the emperor's heavy agricultural meaning. Everyone in the audience nodded, "Since your little baby can play this piece of farming and mulberry weaving, then play a song to cheer everyone up, in order to express the condolences of the family and the emperor!" ”

"Xing'er obeys the Empress Dowager's decree." Xing'er folded her hands at her sides, solemnly blessed a blessing, and began to play.

The melodious music in the cabin sounded, sometimes smart and sometimes cheerful, although the stars are still young, and the playing is not superior, but the queen mother phoenix boat patrol for more than a month, the ship is the first time that the music sounds, there is a little excitement inside and outside the cabin, breaking the dead silence of the phoenix boat. In the cabin, the Queen Mother's face was even more joyful with the rhythm of music. Most of the women in the palace are younger girls, and they like music, so they are all excited. Although the farmers didn't understand how good or bad Xing'er played, the cheerful timbre of the music could also infect them, and their faces were full of gratitude to the heavenly family. There was only one of these peasant women, who was expressionless and kept her head down.

After the song, Xing'er got up and was blessed.

"Good! Good! "The Queen Mother clapped her hands." Although I know that you are Zhou Liang's goddaughter, your fingering and skills are indeed superior, much more advanced than the ordinary girls in the palace, very good. Literate? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er is literate, but not much."

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er is afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother these days, and she has been studying "The Female Ring" in the cabin every day, and she has asked the slave maid about the words she doesn't know, or to pester her godfather. Very motivated and courteous. ”

"The Female Commandment? Well, "The Female Commandment" was originally a private book written by Ban Zhao, a female historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to teach the women of the Ban family to be a man, because Ban Zhao is upright, and she is a female history, and her writing is good. The Queen Mother looked at Xing'er, smiled, and nodded frequently.

"Liyue, go, take a few of the lake pens presented by the prefect of Huzhou and give them to Xing'er. In addition, the net skin we brought from the palace also cut a collar and gave it together, and the net skin writing was just right. ”

"Thank you Empress Dowager Longen!" Before Xing'er could thank him, Zhou Liang had already bowed to the ground, and Xing'er was immediately blessed.

"Get up! You teach a good daughter. ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand to signal Zhou Liang to be flat, and then beckoned to Xing'er, signaling Xing'er to approach. Xing'er knew that she was happy to lead the Queen Mother, so she didn't hesitate this time and stepped forward directly.

"Come, sit down at the house of mourners."

On the side, Liyue was going to move a group stool, the Queen Mother shook her head and signaled her not to move, Liyue understood the Queen Mother's intentions in seconds, and the Queen Mother wanted to consider whether Xing'er was really sensible or learned on the spot. You know, lifestyle habits are not 100% something that can be done by learning now.

Xing'er walked closer, looked at the phoenix chair and then looked at the side, the phoenix chair, it can't be sitting, Ruyu's mother said that the chair that the elders sit on, the younger generations can't move, not to mention that now she is facing the queen mother. Look at the side again, there are only foot pedals, no chairs and stools, is it difficult to let her sit on the phoenix chair?

"The Queen Mother is noble, Xing'er is small and humble, and if she can lean on the Queen Mother's legs, she is already the Queen Mother's grace. I don't know if it's feasible? Xing'er blinked.

It was a test, and now Xing'er's reaction is extremely satisfactory to the Queen Mother. does not mention the phoenix chair, saying that the star knows how to be respectful and humble, and does not mention moving the stool, which shows that she knows her identity, does not mention excessive requirements, and does not mention the pedal, which shows that she is not self-conscious. What a very measured girl. When the Queen Mother looked at her, she was even more blue-eyed.

"Good! Then you are like the grandchildren of the mourning family, leaning on the lap of the mourning family and sitting. The Queen Mother took her and motioned to sit down.

Xing'er sat on the foot pedal in front of the Queen Mother's phoenix chair and leaned on the Queen Mother's legs, and for a moment Xing'er remembered the scene of leaning on Granny Feng's legs and watching her mother-in-law choose vegetables, as if she was in front of her, and I don't know if the family was thinking about her looking for her, she missed her mother and brothers so much, thinking that Xing'er fell asleep on the Queen Mother's legs, a ray of sunlight spilled in, Xing'er's little face was shining, and the Queen Mother stroked her cheeks, thinking in her heart, how good it would be if she had such a little granddaughter. The Queen Mother raised her hand and motioned for Liyue to take a blanket. Liyue saw that Xing'er was asleep like this, and just now she was going to ask Xing'er to tell her about the strange peasant woman, but now she can't say it. However, it is gratifying that Xing'er fell asleep by the Queen Mother's leg like this, and the Queen Mother was not annoyed, but had a look of pity, Liyue was simply overjoyed, and when she was about to arrive in the capital in a few days, she would mention it to the Queen Mother, and it would not be difficult to leave this child with the Queen Mother and personally **.

However, Xing'er said that there was a peasant woman who was a little strange, and she was twelve careful at the moment, vigilant not to hurt the queen mother's phoenix body.

"The Queen Mother," among the several peasant women at the table, opened the mouth for the eldest one, "We people in the countryside have no knowledge, I don't know who this little girl is you, I look at it, but like your own granddaughter, sign, steady." ”

Hahaha! The Queen Mother smiled happily.

"Bold!" A grandmother next to the Queen Mother opened her mouth and scolded.

"It's okay, it's okay." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "I just invited a few of them to do the housework, it's okay to say anything, don't make a fuss." ”

"Yes." Mama took a half step back

"Let's get rid of the rules in the palace today, and it's okay to say anything. Having the borders of those who fell to death really tired people to death. Do you say no? The Queen Mother said with a smile, and everyone nodded.

"The Queen Mother doesn't dislike us countrymen who are vulgar, we have been convinced by generations of cultivation." The women looked at each other and nodded.

"Don't say it, just now, there was really a while, and the mourning family seemed to think that this little baby was the granddaughter of the mourning family. It's a pity, no, the mourning family has no granddaughter. ”

"Queen Mother, you are blessed, how will it be in the future?" Another peasant woman answered.

"Hahaha, in response to your auspicious words!" The Queen Mother looked at Liyue, "Two days ago, did someone come to report that Concubine Cheng was happy?" ”

"Yes, it's almost March."

"If Concubine Cheng can give birth to such a girl for me, I will die of happiness." As she spoke, the Queen Mother stroked Xing'er's cheek again.

Xing'er took a nap for a while, and at this time, the Queen Mother's slightly cool fingertips touched her, causing her to wake up. Xing'er rubbed her eyes, covered her mouth with her hands and yawned.

"You little man, woke up?!" The Queen Mother's love is in color.

Xing'er smiled with her eyebrows, she was only an innocent five-year-old child at this moment, and this smile broke the Queen Mother's heart with her laughter.

At this time, Xing'er has unconsciously won the heart of the Queen Mother, and the future road must be inseparable from the Queen Mother and the royal family.
