Li Qingyuan asked, "When will the old general arrive in the capital?"

Mai Feng replied: "It's already on the way, and I will arrive in the capital in ten days and eight days."

Li Qingyuan said: "As soon as I arrive in the capital, I will welcome you back to the palace immediately, and I have important matters to discuss with you."

Of course, Mai Feng knew that the "important thing" in the emperor's mouth was to let the old general recognize Miss Xin'er, the daughter of the traitor, as a righteous daughter, and he immediately responded: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders."

Li Qingyuan remembered that he hadn't seen Xin'er for many days, I don't know if she was okay? Recently, there have been a lot of state affairs, and I can't get out of the way. He said to Mai Feng, "Get out of the palace."

"Little Guizi, what you said is the truth?"

"Mother, what the slave said is absolutely true!"

The person who spoke was none other than the imperial concubine with the most power in the harem besides the queen mother-Guo Ning. Guo Ning is the third daughter of the old general, and she has been named a side concubine when Li Qingyuan was still the prince, and after Li Qingyuan ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, she was canonized as the imperial concubine, second only to the queen.

Although the East Palace has not been canonized, everyone inside and outside the palace knows that this son is none other than Ning Guifei, and when the old general makes a great record and reminds the emperor, the queen's position will be spent on the Guo family.

Concubine Ning and the emperor have been married for more than ten years, and they have seen the changes in the emperor's temperament in the past six months. Especially in the past half a month, the emperor has been in a happy mood and leaves the palace every day. In the past half a year, except for one day a few days ago, after returning to the palace and pampering her for one night, the rest of the concubines have never even seen the emperor's face.

The emperor's recent abnormality had to puzzle her, and she sent her cronies to pay attention to and inquire about the emperor's affairs, and finally knew what happened.

It turned out that the emperor had been looking for Miss Lu Jia, who had been given the title for half a year, and Miss Lu Family is now living in her mother's house, and the emperor only leaves the palace every day in order to see him.

Half a year ago, she knew that the only opponent who could compete with her for the position of queen was the most powerful Miss Lu family. Fortunately, in the end, Lu Xiang's power collapsed, and Miss Lu did not know where to go, and she could not find anyone in many ways. And her father is undoubtedly the person most valued and trusted by the emperor, so she thinks that the time to canonize herself as the queen should not be far off. Although she cares a lot about the throne, she cares more about the emperor's heart and other women.

When the little noble son informed Ning Guifei that the emperor went out of the palace every day just to accompany the young lady of the Lu Xiang family, Ning Guifei immediately hesitated and couldn't believe it. How could the emperor in her heart ever treat a woman so attentively? She thought hatefully in her heart, "No, no matter what, I can't let them go on anymore, I must stop it, and those who stand in my way die."

In Qianzhu Garden, Guo Xiaozheng begged Lu Xin to help her compose poems to cope with the question of the general's wife. Since that day, she broke into Qianzhuyuan and met Lu Xin, she has come to talk to Lu Xin every day, or listen to Lu Xin tell many stories that she has never seen or heard. What she likes more is not only Lu Xin's knowledge, but Lu Xin's talent, which can help her complete her homework when her mother came out to test her.

I saw that Guo Xiao still begged without giving up: "Sister Xin'er, Sister Xin'er, you will help me again, how can you bear to watch me be punished?"

Lu Xin really can't help Guo Xiao's stalking, she has already helped Xiaoxiao compose poems, guess riddles, and write pairs a few days ago. Yesterday, she copied "The Female Ring" for a day, and if she continued to help like this, her mind would collapse sooner or later.

For example, the "Female Ring" copied yesterday. She copied the "Husband and Wife Chapter" in the "Women's Ring", and the "Husband and Wife Chapter" instilled in women: "If a woman is not virtuous, she will have nothing to do with her husband, and if a woman does not have a husband, her righteousness will crash." This means that the husband is greater than the sky, and he must serve him with care, and he must not be slack in the slightest.

There is also the "Respect and Prudence" in the "Women's Ring", which advocates that men should value strength and women should be weak and beautiful, and women should be unconditionally obedient to their husbands, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

What made Lu Xin grit her teeth even more was the "concentration chapter" in "The Female Ring". The "Concentration Chapter" is particularly strong that virgins do not serve their second husbands, and husbands can marry many wives, and wives can never remarry anyone. The original text also reads, "Concentrate on the right color, have no obscene voices in your ears, and do not squint your eyes." ”

Lu Xin almost wanted to throw "The Female Ring" on the ground and step on it a few times, and then tear it to pieces. What is the breaking of the precepts, the four books of women, all require women to obey others and not have the slightest dissatisfaction. And according to her understanding of history, Ban Zhao, the author of "The Female Ring", she is proud of her talents, and she is harsh on her family's words and deeds, can such a person fulfill the precepts set in her book? Moreover, she has also participated in the Zhengchao Secret for many years, and has been assisting the Empress Dowager Deng to govern as the heroine, but she still has to write these dogmas that bind her and have ethics. She really doesn't know what it means to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?

Lu Xin reluctantly took the rice paper in Xiaoxiao's hand to see what she was going to write for her this time.

Lu Xin read: "Make a poem with mountains, rivers, weather, scenery and mood."

So, Lu Xin's brain began to search for the poems he had read all his life. Xiaoxiao quietly watched Lu Xin thinking about it, and didn't dare to disturb at all, for fear of affecting Lu Xin's brewing inspiration.

She knew that it was best for poets to be quiet, just like practicing martial arts and meditating, once alarmed or disturbed, it was very likely that they would go mad. She believes that with Sister Xin'er's literary talent, this kind of question will definitely not be difficult for her, and she just waits to enjoy it.

I saw Lu Xin slowly write on the paper: Dock the boat in Guazhou

A water room in Guazhou, Beijing,

Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains.

The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River,

When will the bright moon shine on me?

Lu Xin couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she could remember this poem, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the feelings depicted in this poem suddenly surged in her heart. He was as naughty as Xiaoxiao at the beginning, and his father also grounded himself in the house to practice calligraphy and cultivate his mind.

Lu Xin threw the written poem to Xiaoxiao and said, "Take it!"

Xiaoxiao took the rice paper and read it, and then said: "Good poem, good poem."

Lu Xin smiled and asked, "Do you know the meaning of this poem?"

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I don't understand, but I see mountains and rivers."

When Lu Xin and Xiaoxuan heard this, they both laughed, and Xiaoxiao laughed when she saw them laughing.

At this time, Li Qingyuan heard a laugh as soon as he stepped into Qianzhuyuan, and when he walked in, he saw that the three women were laughing happily.
