Chapter 14: The Door to Self-Reliance (Part I)

A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the golden glazed tiles of the Lingbei Imperial Palace, and the magnificent luster flickered with a hearty laughter, bright as a light jumping note, and the air was filled with happiness.

"Mo'er seems to be in a good mood......" Hearing Yelu Yimo's excited laughter from afar, Emperor Yeluqi raised his head from his desk and looked out the window, and asked Zhao Gonggong beside him, "How has Mo'er been doing recently?" ”

Gonggong Zhao bent down to change a new cup of tea for the emperor, and his wrinkled face was full of smiles, "Your Majesty is still wise, since you ordered Miss Ling to enter the palace to accompany the prince, His Royal Highness has not only become cheerful and modest, but also diligent in his homework, and the princes have also praised His Highness for his rapid progress these days!" ”

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, the emperor said seemingly nonchalantly, "Is it really so good?" ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't believe it, Zhao Gonggong said anxiously, "Really, really." Your Majesty, didn't you go to the study, the last time the old slave passed by inadvertently, I happened to see Miss Shi Ling giving a lecture to the prince! His Royal Highness listened to it seriously, and he was not as impatient as usual, he was really attentive! ”

These words obviously aroused the emperor's interest, so he simply put down the pen and ink in his hand, turned around and asked intently, "Ling Biluo still teaches?" What did he say to Mo'er? ”

"The emperor knows that the old slave doesn't know how to write and ink," Zhao Gonggong laughed embarrassedly, "I don't remember the specifics clearly, but I only remember that there are two sentences: the old and the old, the young and the young." The slave didn't understand what he meant at the time, and asked Miss Ling to be more impressed. ”

Extremely curious about the answer, the emperor asked urgingly, "How did Ling Biluo answer?" ”

Miss Ling said that she hoped that people in the world should not forget other elderly people who are not related to them when they support and honor their elders. When raising and educating your own children, you should not forget other children who are not related to you. Such a country, which does not distinguish between each other and shares weal and woe, is the ideal place for people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Speaking of this, Gonggong Zhao stood up unwillingly, and the old tears of excitement were rampant, "Master, do you know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said at that time?" He said that he would establish such a country, so that the people can be happy and stable, let the people of Lingbei become the envy of everyone in the world, and make Lingbei the most powerful country on the earth! ”

I don't know if it was infected by the emotions of Gonggong Zhao, or moved by the prince's proud declaration, the emperor's eyes were also emotionally high, and he slapped the table and stood up, "I didn't expect this Ling Biluo to have such talent!" Xiao Suchen is really good, a woman can be so extraordinary by him! ”

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Gonggong Zhao was naturally overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "Miss Ling is really a baby!" The old slave has been in the palace for so long, and he has never seen a person with such ability! Not only did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favor her, but even the palace maids didn't like her! It's no wonder that the king of the Southern Courtyard is like a jewel for her! ”

"Xiao Suchen is like a jewel to Ling Biluo?" The Emperor asked with a little surprise, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Gonggong Zhao pursed his lips and chuckled, "When Miss Ling first entered the palace, His Majesty ordered a servant to lead the way. The old slave saw the king of the Southern Courtyard, who was still the young master at the time, personally carried her out of the carriage, and led her all the way forward carefully and considerately. ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, he slapped his head sharply, "Oops! Your Majesty, look at the old slave's memory! His Royal Highness the Prince of Shicai asked the old slave to invite you to the East Palace at lunchtime, and I will forget about this speech! ”

"Mo'er asked me to go to his palace?" The Emperor stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"This old slave doesn't know," Zhao Gonggong said pitifully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only said that please be sure to move, if the old slave can't invite Your Majesty, let the old slave's head become a barren land......"

Laughed by Zhao Gonggong's exaggerated expression, the emperor said in a good mood, "Your bald head doesn't look good, I'd better go to the East Palace to see what medicine he sells in his gourd!" ”

Hearing the emperor's answer, Zhao Gonggong was overjoyed, opened the door quickly, and followed the emperor out of the door. At this time, it is the end of August, although it has begun autumn, but the weather is still hot, the high temperature and no rain for several days, not only makes people extremely hot, even the vegetation is all dry, and the drought in the whole Lingbei country is severe. Yeluqi also racked his brains for this and asked the whole country to work together to tide over the difficulties.

"Father!" As soon as he saw the emperor's guard of honor appear outside the door of the main hall of the Qinggong, Yelu Yimo let out a cheerful cry and couldn't wait to greet him, "Erchen has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come!" ”

Catching a glimpse of Gonggong Zhao's nervous and scared expression, Yelu Qiwan smiled, "Father and Emperor have been busy with disaster relief these days, so it's too late." Mo'er is so anxious to see what is going on? ”

The obsidian eyes were bent like the crescent moon on the horizon, and Yelu couldn't hide the joy that he leaned on, "There is a great good thing!" ”

After that, he took Yeluqi's hand and ran to the garden, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "Stinky girl, my father is here, are you ready?" ”

"Alright!" An leisurely greeted him, and gave a bow to Yeluqi with a clever smile, "Ling Biluo see Your Majesty!" Everything is ready, just wait for the emperor to come! ”

"Start?" Before the words in Yeluqi's mouth fell, Yelu Yimo was already impatiently pulling him into the garden.

As soon as you step into the back garden, you can't help but be amazed. It turned out that under the scorching sun, there was a hole in the back garden. Green vines clover the huge scaffolding, forming a natural green barrier that not only keeps the sun and heat out of the greenery, but also shocks people because of the rare comfort and pleasantness.

Just as Yelu Qi's eyes were enjoying the cool breeze and the greenery was sprouting, he suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and looked at it to see that it was a green bamboo bowl with transparent color, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask, An Youran had already said with a smile, "Today, Your Majesty is not only to enjoy the cool summer, but also to have more important things!" ”

"More important?" After thinking for a moment, Yelu Qi showed a doting smile, pointed at Yelu Yimo and An Ran and said leisurely, "You two clever ghosts, what tricks do you want to play?" What Mo'er Ke told me just now is a great good thing, if the cowhide is punctured by then, it is only a crime of bullying the king, and I will punish you! ”

Who knew that this intimidation turned into the opposite effect, An Youran and Yelu Yimo looked at each other and smiled, and thanked each other at the same time: "Thank the emperor (father) for the reward!" ”

"Did I say I wanted to reward them?" Confused by the actions of the two, Yelu even wondered if he had made a slip of the tongue just now. He asked Zhao Gonggong for confirmation with a puzzled face.

Zhao Gonggong was also a second monk who was confused, he shook his head honestly, and reported back truthfully: "What the emperor said is punishment, not reward!" ”

"What my father just said is indeed a punishment, but ......" Yelu Yimo showed two small tiger teeth and smiled treacherously, "Since ancient times, rewards and punishments have not been separated!" Since we will be punished for not doing well, the extended understanding is that if we do well, our father will be rewarded! ”

"Yes, yes," An Ran on the side said leisurely, "The people have long heard that Your Majesty is a rare generation of Ming Jun for a thousand years, and he has always rewarded and punished clearly, and he is virtuous and capable!" How can you be stingy with the prince and the little girl? ”

Seeing the two of them singing and harmonizing with each other, Yeluqi couldn't help laughing, "Okay, just as you wish!" If I can really do 'great good deeds', I will be rewarded heavily! ”

After getting the emperor's golden words, An stood up with a happy heart, slapped his palms twice, and ordered triumphantly: "Bring me the things!" ”
