Chapter 341: Yingzhou Kingdom
"Qian'er has reached the age of enlightenment, and His Majesty specially chose Brother Zhou to be Qian'er's companion."
In fact, Ah Tao already knew about this matter, but she didn't expect His Majesty's will to be issued so quickly.
"Cousin, let's go play Kemari, you promised to play Kemari with me."
The queen immediately stood up from the couch and said, "Ah Tao, since you are here, let's accompany Brother Zhou to play Keju, he has been chattering all morning." ”
The old lady took the juju and held it in Li Gan's arms, and Tao said, "Well, let's go, go out and kick the juju." ”
"Oh, it's a game of Kemari."
Immediately, Qian Xizhou also followed.
The other courtyard of the Jiaofang Hall is a very large courtyard, very wide and narrow, and it is best to bow for Keju.
"Okay, let's just kick here, cousin, you give me Keju first, and then I'll replace it for you."
"Hmm."
Li Gan consciously saw a place ten zhang away from Ah Tao, waiting for Ah Tao to carry the ball to him.
"Keju is coming soon, you have to catch it."
After that, Ah Tao put Keju on the ground and kicked Keju to Li Gan with his left leg, but Li Gan was still a child of a few years old and couldn't catch it at all.
"Cousin Zhou, why did you come out?"
Qian Xizhou said: "You brought the second prince out to play, how can I accompany him to study?" ”
"Sir said that reading should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and Ah Qian is only willing to study hard after having fun, I am helping you, cousin Zhou. If you're reading all the time, you're going to be a nerd. ”
Obviously, he is making excuses for not studying weekdays, and he is so strong-worded, if Mr. Ban Xiao hears such words, I don't know how angry he will be?
I will definitely regret how I called such a student.
"Do you know how to kick Keju?" Qian Xizhou asked.
"Yes." Ah Tao replied with some lack of confidence.
Qian Xizhou asked again: "But why don't I remember, when did you learn to kick the ju?" ”
Ah Tao was simply thick-skinned: "There are so many things you don't know, I'm such a talented and intelligent person, it's easy to learn to kick and bow." ”
In fact, her level of substitute Keju is only a little better than that of children.
At the end of the imperial study, the emperor had just finished handling government affairs, thinking that today was Qian Xizhou's companion for Li Gan, and he knew what the situation was? So I prepared the Jiaofang Hall to take a look.
Who knows, as soon as I walked into the inner hall, I saw the queen sitting on the couch drinking tea, and I didn't see Li Qian and Qian Xizhou, "Queen, Qian'er?" ”
The queen put it in the tea cup and got up to salute the emperor, "Your Majesty is here, the concubine asked Ah Tao to take Qian'er to the courtyard to kick the juju, and after playing for a while, then he will study, Your Majesty will sit down and drink tea first." ”
The emperor walked to the empress and sat down, and the palace maid poured the tea and served it to her, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”
After taking a sip, the emperor said: "Qian'er has reached the age of studying, the queen must be measured in everything, and she must not indulge him too much. When I was my age like Qian'er, I could already read and write. ”
The queen saluted again: "Your Majesty's words, the concubines will always keep them in mind." ”
The emperor stretched out his hand and put his arm around the queen's shoulders, helped the queen up, and said, "Empress, what are you doing?" I don't mean to blame you. I know that Qian'er's body is weak, but I have high hopes for him, so he must be more diligent than other princes, so that he can quickly take on great responsibilities in the future. ”
At the end of the inner courtyard, He Tangtong and Qian Xizhou were accompanying Li Qian to kick and bow, having a good time.
It wasn't until I was sweating profusely that I refused to give up and went back to the house to rest.
The queen watched Li Gan sweating profusely and ran to her, and immediately took out a silk to wipe him, and then said, "Qian'er, why are you sweating so much?" ”
Li Qian said with a smile: "I'm okay with the queen mother, it's just that the eldest brother is too happy playing Keju." ”
Big brother?
Li Gan walked over and took Qian Xizhou's hand and said, "Queen Mother, he is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is very good at kicking the juju, and I want the eldest brother to play with me in the future." ”
Originally, the queen was worried that Qian Xizhou's stuffy temperament would not attract Li Gan's liking, but now it seems that she is too worried.
In the days to come, Qian Xizhou will come to Jiaofang Hall on time", play with him first, and then accompany him to study after having fun, such a combination of work and rest is really useful for children like Li Gan.
Now, the emperor has completely stood in the way of the court, and Song Huainan doesn't have to worry about so many things, but is a lot easier, and he can have free time to accompany his wife.
Although the two have been married for many years, Song Huainan is in an important position in the court, and he has no time to accompany He Tangerine, and now he is always free.
Song Huainan thought that when the children were older and after they got married, he resigned to the emperor and moved to another courtyard in Luoyang with his wife, living a leisurely life without caring about anything.
On this day, the envoys of Yingzhou brought the rare treasures of their country to the emperor of the Li Dynasty to offer treasures, and the emperor of the Li Dynasty specially set up a banquet in the palace in order to greet the envoys of Yingzhou, and invited hundreds of civil and military officials and their families to participate together.
The purpose is to select a talented and beautiful girl from among these famous and noble girls, and send her to Dongying and her relatives to adapt to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
So early in the morning, He Tangyu received a post asking them to enter the palace to go to the banquet.
But Yingzhou Kingdom is located in the middle of nowhere, and even if these noble princesses are given the title, they are not willing to marry Dongying Kingdom.
And there are some shocking rules in this Yingzhou country, such as in order to ensure the legitimacy of the royal bloodline, brothers and sisters can be married.
And because there are more men and fewer women in Yingzhou, they can marry brothers together, or marry more than one daughter, which is unacceptable in the eyes of the women of the Li Dynasty.
After getting into the carriage, Ah Tao found Sister Ping sitting next to Shen, and Shen saw his precious granddaughter and hurriedly beckoned to her: "Come, Ah Tao, come and sit here as grandmother." ”
Looking at Shen, Ah Tao sat down with joy, held Shen's hand affectionately, and said in a soft voice: "Ah Tao still thinks that grandmother has Sister Ping, so she doesn't like Ah Tao?" ”
Shen wore a bun, embellished with jewels, and wore a grape purple high-waisted skirt, dressed in a very rich and elegant style.
Shen hugged his granddaughter, smiled from ear to ear, pinched his granddaughter's cheek and said, "Look at what you said, you and your sister Ping are my palms and backs of my hands, both the same love." ”
