Chapter 8 Section 1 If you want to leave, you still want to stay
One afternoon in the first year of Yuanyasu.
I knew that I was chirping outside the window one after another, like a lullaby, urging my clouds to sleep soundly.
I kissed her blushing little cheek and took her hand away from my arms. Then carefully got up from the bed and walked lightly to the outhouse.
Shanwan brought me a bowl of chrysanthemum tea, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you sleep with the little princess for a while?" ”
Xiao Cui took over and said, "She has been getting more and more sleepless lately, and she is very energetic day and night." No, there are so many nurses now, she has to feed herself. ”
I gently sipped the chrysanthemum tea with rock sugar and slowly tasted its sweetness. There are some things that I don't want to say, and when I say them, I don't necessarily understand them before I say them. Anyway, as long as it can achieve the effect I want in the end.
Like feeding Yunyun in person, this matter has its own deep meaning, and a woman who is not in a high position like me and can only give birth to a daughter will not understand.
In fact, all I want is people's attention to Yunyun. I just wanted to show people that even if I gave birth to another daughter, not the one that everyone — myself myself — expected, she would still be my lifeline.
So since I gave birth to her, I have been breastfeeding myself, and there is no excuse to do too much, so I handed it over to the nurse.
It's not her fault that Yunyun was born as a daughter, and it's certainly not my fault. She and I should both live righteously.
My mother taught me this. Back then, she carried the infamy of making the Jia family desperate, and was ridiculed and even spit on by the world, but I never saw her self-pity and self-abandonment. At all times, she lived calmly. Even arrogant. She used her strong wings to protect my and Xiao Wu's childhood and youth. I believe that she occasionally regrets that Xiao Wu and I are not children, and we can't inherit the family business of Taiwei Mansion. But she's to us. There has never been the slightest dislike. On the contrary, she has always been a doting mother of her daughter.
If not. I wouldn't have grown into such a strong woman. I am fearless because someone loves me unconditionally, I used to be my mother when I was in my mother's home, and now I am in the palace and the emperor.
In fact, none of us are really confident people. They all need to prove their worth with the love of others.
Children who do not receive the love of their parents, especially their mothers, are pitiful. They must be careful at home since childhood, for fear that doing something wrong will upset their parents, and over time, they will develop a timid and cowardly character. I will never let my children become like that, and I would rather them be willful, arrogant, and cowardly.
It's a world where the jungle is the strongest, and you're weak. Just waiting to be beaten. In my opinion, it's not ugly, it's not stupid. But cowardice is a person's most fatal flaw.
So I'm like my mother. is a doting and pampering mother. I put it this way. It may be opposed by a lot of people. They believe in the philosophy of sticks, and their classic phrase is "Sticks make filial piety." pampered and disobedient children". It is believed that children must be strictly disciplined in order to **.
I don't comment on their stick philosophy, let them use sticks, they hit the ground anyway their own children. My precious daughter must be held in the palm of her hand.
I remember someone once said to me, "The eldest princess is so noble, how can she serve flowers and plants all day long?" I heard that she often cooks and prepares some soup and water, these are all things that people do, and the eldest princess is like this, doesn't it reduce the status of the princess? ”
I replied to her, "Why not?" As long as she likes! ”
The man was embarrassed and retreated with a look of shame.
Later, no one dared to criticize the princess's behavior, and Meow Meow kept happily going around the flowers and plants.
Xiaoxiao is a notoriously lazy little worm, idle all day long, and will only open his mouth to his sister if he wants any novelty.
Because of this, she received the most love from her father. Because, the emperor said, "Xiaoxiao is most like me, our father and daughter are all the way, hehe." ”
What a warm picture, a lazy father and daughter, lazily lying in the shade of a tree after eating and napping - this is not me talking back, but a scene of life after seclusion as imagined by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
All of this I, all of me, live on his own terms, as long as he feels happy.
I'm sorry, not all of them, but there is one person who has to be an exception, because I really can't agree with his particular preferences.
Needless to say, you know who it is, it's our swineherd.
Canonized as the queen mother, he moved into the East Palace, where the place was large, and it is said that he began to raise pigs again.
But this time he learned the lesson of the last time and did a good job of the wind, and the emperor sent people to search for the legendary pig twice.
Without evidence, it's hard to say anything about him. The emperor has never been the kind of strict father, and every time he recruits the prince to the imperial study, he just asks him about his homework and lets him sit aside and listen to the ministers' discussions. Too, if you want him to sit, he sits, but he is always absent-minded, no different from a puppet.
Seeing that two months have passed, Tai has not grown at all, and the emperor is in a hurry. If this "prodigy" praised by the first emperor is not as good as his "silly" father, who will the Sima family hand over?
Last night, he discussed with me whether to assign him a few more Taifu and Young Masters in order to teach Tai Chengcai as soon as possible. I said at the time, "Haven't you already appointed Wei as a wife?" Just leave this matter to Wei to worry about. You ask him to recommend a few people, and after the list is reported, you go through it, delete the ones you don't like, and leave the ones you appreciate, isn't it? ”
Taibao is an official of the Prime Minister's Taidong Palace, and strictly speaking, Taifu and Shaofu are all his subordinates. So it's perfectly okay to leave this matter to the Taibao in charge.
The reason why I advise me like this is because I think that since I plan to go into hiding, I must slowly delegate power, otherwise, I will not be able to leave for ten years.
In the past two months, perhaps thinking of abdication, the emperor has been more conscientious than ever, and has simply transformed into a virtuous monarch who is diligent in state affairs, and the lazy emperor who used to have no name in vain.
The ministers saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, thinking that the emperor and the "If you don't fly, you will soar into the sky; If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster, "Like King Chuzhuang, now he finally has to work hard."
But I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart. If the emperor satisfies the ministers in this way, they will inevitably support him, and they will not pay much attention to the underage dowager, and it will be difficult for them to accept the fact that the owner has changed hands.
The emperor's original intention was to straighten things out while he was still there, and it would be easier to take over when the time came. He didn't know that the more he was like this, the more it backfired.
With such a virtuous and diligent emperor, how could those ministers accept his decision to abdicate at such a young age
