12. Solve minor misunderstandings
On the first day of school in the New Year, I got up in the midst of Yunchun's coaxing and wailing. When Mr. came to the book, he also prepared a New Year gift for us, but unfortunately they were all pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Nanga and I looked at each other across the crowd and we both sat down.
Seeing that we were all in little interest today, and thinking that it was the after-effects of the festive season, he raised a question for us to speak freely.
I was drowsy, listening to Bo Heng and Ji Lin arguing about the eternal problems of whether it was the monarch or the people's university, and I felt very bored in my heart.
There is still no conclusion after arguing, Zhong Jin Shuyou and the others are silent, Zhou Shuning helps Ji Lin, Liang Yunzhi echoes Bo Heng, and I am wondering if I can eat a small crisp cake for lunch today.
The gentleman shook his feather fan, touched his beard, shook his head as if he was not satisfied with their words, and suddenly fixed his eyes on me who was in a fugue.
"I heard that General Sun is brave and invincible, I wonder if his daughter has his demeanor? Sun Qixing, you say. "Sir, a little feather fan, everyone looked at me silently.
Yun Zhi poked me, I came back to my senses and looked at everyone, thinking that it was over. But he still got up silently and gave a salute to Mr.
"Qixing thinks that there is nothing to argue about this question, and there is only one answer, that is, the people are greater than the king."
The gentleman paused as he touched his beard, and then let out a sound of confusion.
I cleared my throat, "Since ancient times, there has been no king without a people, and only with the support of the people can you become a king." If the king is greater than the people, then why don't all the people in this world set themselves up as kings? Is that kind of behavior a king, it's just a game often played by folk children. ”
I watched Nanga bite the end of the pen and tilt my head to look at me, and I felt a lot of confidence in my heart.
"Moreover, there is an ancient saying that the people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat. Today's majesty is dissatisfied with the cruelty of Emperor Er, and heroes from all walks of life have risen up, so that there is today's prosperous Yanqi era. ”
I silently recalled the sword and sword shadow when Daddy and Di Yuan fought bloodily, and I kept praying for Daddy's safety at home every day, but now I still feel shocked when I think about it.
"Your Majesty now, and the people at that time, have been supported by everyone and have become kings. It can be seen that there is no king without the people, and only the people are kings. ”
I continued to speak, and everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed and applauded.
I turned my head to look, and it was Li Zhan who walked over with Di Yuan in his arms.
Seeing this, everyone got up and saluted, and Di Yuan motioned for everyone to get up and sat in the upper hall. "Lonely today, listening to Xiao Qi's words, I feel empowered."
My heart chuckled, how could my nonsense be heard by Di Yuan. hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Xiao Qiyi was speechless for a while, disrespectful to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to punish him." ”
Di Yuan motioned for Li Zhan to help me up and looked at me lovingly. "Xiao Qi's words are wrong, if those guys who eat Yulu in the lonely court, all of them are as loyal and outspoken as Xiao Qi, I am afraid that today's Yanqi will be more prosperous."
My heart fell, but fortunately, Di Yuan didn't blame me for trespassing. Zhou Shu stared at me angrily when he saw Emperor Yuan praising me. I smirked at her and ignored her.
What Xiao Qi said is also the concept of governing the country all along. If a country does not even love its own people, then what kind of king is there to talk about? You say yes, Ji Lin? Di Yuan looked coldly at Ji Lin, who had fought for red ears before.
Ji Lin's thin lips pursed slightly, and he replied unconvinced.
"I am very glad that Mr. Gu can teach you the truth of today, and in the future, among you, there will be the future king of Yanqi, and the way of the king is to seek the well-being of the people. The same is true of how to behave in the world. Di Yuan said that he walked away, leaving a group of us behind, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ji Lin and Zhou Shuning, who had just been sarcastically and secretly ridiculed by Di Yuan, had very ugly faces, and after a few words of comfort from Mr. to the end, he changed the topic.
Yun Zhi was still gloating and telling me that Zhou Shu's eyes were about to burst out when he stared at me.
The day's study is finally over, I and Zhihong hold the books and just want to return to the Wutong Garden as soon as possible, today is late, breakfast is not used, my stomach has long been gurgling.
Yun Zhi still has questions to ask Mr. today, so he is a little slower.
When I reached a section of wooden bridge, Zhou Shu stopped me in a hurry. I looked at the way she asked for sin, and I just felt bored.
"Sun Qixing, you have done your best in front of Your Majesty today, and you have suffered a lot of losses to Brother Ji Lin, what are your intentions." I just thought it was very funny when I looked at her puffing out, and the golden steps on her head were all entangled.
"The gentleman said that no matter who you are today, you can just speak freely. Besides, it was the gentleman who asked me to answer, and it was His Majesty who praised me, so why don't you go to the gentleman and your majesty if you have any grievances? "On weekdays, Zhou Shu is domineering, Yun Zhi and I are not less affected by her yin and yang weirdness, but now I can't help it.
Zhou Shuning knew that she was at a loss, and dragged me not to let me go, so she had to make it clear with me.
I didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Shuning's unreasonable trouble, and turned around to leave. Zhou Shuning was so arrogant that she saw me ignoring her like this, so angry that she grabbed my sleeve and shouted that she was not allowed to leave. I was irritated and shook her off.
I only heard the tearing sound of the brocade silk cracking and Zhou Shuning's exclamations of retreating, I didn't have time to catch her, the pond splashed with a splash, and Zhou Shuning fluttered in the water, so embarrassed.
Her maid finally came running from a distance at this moment, and exclaimed that she had fallen into the water. The red saw that a piece of my sleeve was missing, and she cried out anxiously.
I looked at Zhou Shuning, whose hair was scattered in the water, and the beads were all gone, and I wanted to leave. But after thinking about it, Zhou Shuning's status is noble, and the only one who came to save her from the harem here was a eunuch, touching her body, and seeing her face full of water and grass, I was afraid that it would make her collapse.
I gritted my teeth and stopped the screaming. "Don't shout, if you want more people to see your county lord so embarrassed, keep shouting. Go and get a clean dress, go. ”
Zhou Shuning's servant looked at me in a dilemma, Zhihong guessed what I was going to do, and wanted to stop me worriedly. I lifted my dress, took off my shoes and socks and jumped into the water.
Zhou Shuning in the pond had already been exhausted, and the water in the pond was also stirred to the point of being muddy and smelling fishy. I swam towards her with all my might, and my dress became heavy as I soaked up the water.
I finally hugged Zhou Shuning's waist, and she wrapped her limbs tightly around me like grasping a life-saving straw, and I was forced to choke on several mouthfuls of water. had to pinch her waist a few times, and Zhou Shuning loosened a little in pain.
I held her up, and Zhou Shuning coughed violently. "Zhou Shuning, listen well, if you don't want to die, just cooperate with me obediently, hold my waist, don't panic, I'll be on the shore in a while." Zhou Shuning was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she could only nod again and again.
I paddled forward as hard as I could, and the princes, who had not yet gone far, were also quietly attracted to us, looked at us in the water, and handed me a wooden stick.
I grabbed the wooden stick and handed Zhou Shuning up, Zhong Jin picked up Zhou Shuning and placed it on the grass, and Bo Heng pulled me up to the shore.
Everyone gathered around, and the red wrapped me in a cloak, and I shivered with the cold of spring. Zhou Shuning spit out water in embarrassment, and Ji Lin patted her on the back.
Yun Zhi exclaimed in surprise and rushed over as well, wiping my face with a handkerchief. Nanga rushed to my side, looked at me worriedly, and asked if I was hurt.
Seeing that the movement here attracted more palace people to come over, I didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and Nanjia Yunzhi and I told me that I was okay, so I took Zhihong and left first.
After nightfall, Yun Zhi was still worried about my body, so he brought a pot full of ginger soup. I smiled and said that Concubine Chen and Di Yuan have dialed several imperial doctors to see them today, so don't be nervous.
Yun Zhi and I lay on the bed, chattering about the girl's thoughts, and for a while it seemed to return to the carefree days outside the palace. I leaned close to Yun Zhi's ear and told me what was on my mind.
"What!? Really! Yun Zhi was so shocked that she almost fell off the couch, and I quickly covered her mouth.
Yun Zhi looked around nervously, and after making sure that it was only the two of us, he lowered his voice and said, "You should really please that Yundu proton?" ”
I shyly pulled the quilt over half of my face and nodded. Yun Zhi seemed to be a little annoyed that iron could not become steel, "No wonder I watched him so nervous today that you fell into the water, I was still strange." How can you like a proton, besides, the Yundu Rebellion was suppressed by your father in the first place. ”
I sighed, "I know, but after all these years of getting along, I have found that he is not so cold as he seems, but a man of noble character." ”
Yun Zhi interrupted me impatiently, "But Xiao Qi, do you know, he is only the second son, and there is a big brother above." There is a high probability that you will not be the lord of Yundu in the future, and you will not be able to be the princess of Yundu. ”
I propped up my face and looked at Yun Zhi's worried face, "Yun Zhi, I'm not coveting his status as the son of the world. I am... I am pleased with him. ”
Yun Zhi looked at me with a serious face, and simply lay down. "It's one thing for you to be happy, Your Majesty and Concubine Chen regard you as your own daughter, is Your Majesty willing to give you marriage. Besides, your father doesn't want you to marry Yundu all the way. ”
I didn't know how to answer Yun Zhi for a while, what Yun Zhi was worried about, why shouldn't I.
"Nanga and I haven't explained it yet, if it's just my wishful thinking, and Nanga doesn't mean it, then I'll be embarrassed. And I..." My voice lowered, and Yun Zhi came over impatiently, "And what?" ”
I covered my face, and the roots of my ears were hot. "And I haven't thought of getting married yet!"
We talked for a while before we went to sleep.
On the second day after school and returned to Wutong Garden, Zhihong and I were surprised to say that today's Zhou Shuning didn't choke me and Yunzhi once, and Zhihong also felt strange, and told me that Zhou Shuning didn't lose her soul by drowning yesterday.
As he was talking, Yun Chun came to report, Zhou Shuning wanted to see me.
In the front hall, Zhou Shuning sat on the mahogany carved table and turned the tea lid, and I tidied up my clothes for a while and walked out.
"The county lord is a rare guest, but he has never been to my Wutong Garden." I looked at Zhou Shuning, who rarely smiled at me, with a puzzled face.
Zhou Shuning waved her hand, and the maid handed over many beautifully packaged gifts. "I have come to thank you for your rescue today, this is a treasure that my father has found from all over the world, and you can take it all as a pastime in your spare time."
Childish Red looked at me, not knowing whether to take it. "The county lord is polite, it's just a gesture." I opened my mouth lightly, I really don't know which one Zhou Shuning is going to sing today.
Zhou Shuning rolled her eyes, "You have it, Sun Qixing, this county lord is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, but you don't have to be afraid of what strange things I will send you, besides, you can not do it, isn't it good to watch me suffer and be embarrassed." ”
I raised my eyebrows, yes, this is the arrogant Zhou Shuning, I was so polite just now that I was scared. "Then thank you, Lord County." Zhihong and Yunchun took over the heavy packages one by one.
Zhou Shuning watched me accept the gift, motioned for the maid to retreat, and I also let the young red go down, I don't know what Zhou Shuning is going to do.
But Zhou Shuning didn't speak, and after a while of silence, just when I couldn't help but send off the guest.
Zhou Shuning suddenly spoke, "Actually... You're not that annoying. ”
I was confused by her sudden words, "What." ”
Zhou Shu sighed, "I said that you are not so annoying, now that I think about it, the so-called discord between me and you is just a dispute between an ignorant young son when I was a child." ”
Zhou Shuning got up and looked at me, "Since you are willing to let go of the past suspicions to save me, I will no longer hold on to embarrass you, your friend is still worth making." ”
I laughed too, "I never wanted to fight the county lord either. ”
Zhou Shuning shook his head, "That's the county lord is stingy, are you satisfied?" ”
I looked at Zhou Shuning, who looked lovely, delicate and weak, and unforgiving, I don't know who married her in the future, but it was enough to drink a pot.
Zhou Shuning and I looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help laughing, writing off all the past grievances.
On the second day, in the Mingde Palace, Zhou Shuning enthusiastically called me Xiaoqi and gave me several wolf pens, which stunned everyone who was used to watching us compete with each other on weekdays, especially Yun Zhi.
After I told Yun Zhi the news that Zhou Shuning had made friends with me, Yun Zhi was jealous for a while, and coaxed me for a while before he would ignore me, forcing me to say that I should not forget the old before I could do it.
One month will be my birthday. At that time, I was looking forward to seeing Daddy's joy every day, but I didn't know that a birthday banquet would reshuffle the relationship between us all and enter a different life.
