The emperor said to Xiao Lizi beside him: "To tell the truth, I thought that woman should not let that child get close to me, that child took the initiative, right?" I really didn't expect it. How much do you think she hates me? Birds with broken wings are locked in a golden wire cage, and they are not moved by the beauty of the golden wire cage. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the mother will resent you for breaking her wings and taking away her freedom. On the contrary, in the cage, it should have been slaughtered, and you protected her with the cage, and you did your best to give her the best. She should thank you. "Xiao Lizi has been with the emperor for many years, although he is like a tiger, but they are more like friends, he does not shy away from saying his opinion.

"Heh, it looks like the plan has changed. It's a little more fun that way. "The emperor's original plan: as long as Qin Huai does not show his talents, as her father, he will protect them through their lives in peace. Because the emperor knew that he was at a loss to Concubine Zhao. But now Qin Huai not only showed his head in the exam, but also took the initiative to greet the emperor. He clearly knew that some people were very well-informed.

The change of plans has nothing to do with him, and he will not participate in the battle for the throne between the two princes. But after all, it was their father, and he still hoped in his heart that they would live.

On the other side, Concubine Zhao reprimanded Qin Huai: "Huai'er, did you take the initiative to step forward?" Didn't Mother tell you that kings are moody and don't lean in? And my mother told you that she called me my mother in front of outsiders. ”

She herself certainly did not know about her admonitions. However, Qin Huai also understood how much his mother hated this dynasty, so: first need to fool the past, Qin Huai held his mother's big hand with both hands, and lowered his head: "Huai'er, I said that I would protect my mother, my mother should not worry about me, I will protect myself, if I can't even protect myself, how can I protect my mother." ”

Concubine Zhao turned her head aside and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, she may not fully know why she was crying, whether she was happy or sad.

When she returned, she wrote a letter home and said to the sender: "Be sure to let my brother do what he says." ”

.....

"Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful..."Qin Huai thought: It's been a few days in the school, and learning or something really annoys me the most. Especially these so-called ideas in order to consolidate the rule, but there is also an unexpected gain here, Xia Lin, who met last time, turned out to be a descendant of the General's Mansion. I don't know if he's stupid, or if I'm too smart to be in the same class as me. Seeing each other is fate, and the two of us became a slanted table, with me in front of the left and him on the right side of the row behind me.

One day, Qin Huai used to hold his face with one hand and block one side of his ear with his index finger, which did not have a great effect. At the very least, you can reduce the loudness of the sound source, so that when you desert in class, you will not be affected by his sound source.

When he was not paying attention to the theory, the master suddenly took a roll call: "Qin Gongzi, tell me about the views of the three outlines." The essay question is not difficult, and Qin Huai didn't understand why he had this kind of question, so he got up and answered his own opinion: "The king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife." When being a minister, a son, or a wife, you must be obedient, filial, and loyal. ”

The master nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and turned to continue the lecture. Qin Huai suddenly asked his master, who was facing away from her: "The latter must obey the former, didn't Yasheng Mencius say: The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart." Is the relationship between the monarch and the minister mutual, two-way reciprocal? Aren't the two going in opposite directions? I don't know if it was because the master was old and couldn't hear clearly, or he couldn't hear it clearly, and said, "What do you say, how do the kings and ministers think..."Before he could finish asking, one person interjected: "He said that Mencius's thoughts and the Three Principles are somewhat distorted." Turning his head to look at Xia Lin's answer in the back row.

When he heard the meaning of Qin Huai's rhetorical question, he was not very happy and asked, "Who are you?" I let you answer. The boy didn't care when he heard this, and replied casually: "I, uh-huh... I'm Xia Huai. Everyone else laughed out loud when they knew who he was.

In the end, joking in class, Xia Lin was punished for standing, but Master Qin Huai didn't say anything and let him sit down. So this rhetorical question was not resolved.

Behind the book house, there is a small orchard. Xia Lin, who was sullen in the forest, climbed up the staggered branches and picked a thick branch to sit down. Caught a weak creature in the tree - an ant. Holding it up in front of his eyes, he said to himself to the ants, "Ah ant, ah ant, what do you say I am guilty of?" It's boring. "You don't need to interject that, you're just afraid of his ears." Ah, yes, yes, yes. "I'm here now, will my mother miss me at home?" "What's the matter, just be happy with yourself" "Huh..."

The boy's fun comes to an abrupt end and puts the ants aside. Looking up at the leaves, he smiled as if relieved, and when he lowered his head, he suddenly found a person leaning against him under the thick branches.

"Ahh The boy was obviously frightened by the person who didn't know when he had come here, and at the same time a little ashamed that he had listened to all the words he had just said. Hearing the surprised movement on the tree, Qin Huai raised his head with a smile on his face. And said: "If you care very much, I apologize to you." ”

The boy jumped down from the tree and said, "No need. You.... Hear it all? Qin Huai got up and said, "It's a ~." The young man turned his head sideways, clenched his fists and said helplessly: "It's better for me to forget"

Qin Huai didn't care, patted his buttocks, and happily replied to him, "Okay, I forgot." The boy was irritated by her tone, "You... It's best not to tell anyone else. The boy didn't want to get into trouble, so he had to let go soft. He continued, "You guy. It's annoying to have a smiley face! I.. Am I just making you laugh? Qin Huai was puzzled when he heard it: "It seems that you misunderstood, I didn't laugh at you, I just think others like to laugh." ”

"Do you have to keep smiling when people like you? Aren't they your fathers, do they need it? ”

"Even if my father told me, I wouldn't do what I was told. After all, why listen to them? ”

The young man's eyes seemed to light up, and he replied with a smile: "Heh, so why do you keep smiling?" ”

Qin Huai said as he left, "Why? Probably because I like smiles. I smile at others, and others respond. Xia Lin stood in place for a while, then chased after her and gave her a big smile in response. owes you. Qin Huai was a little surprised and a little moved, and responded with the same smile: "Thank you, I'm very happy." ”

Afterwards, Xia Lin thought back to the role and thought that her idea should be: not because she likes to laugh. I just hope that what I smile at myself is that others have the opportunity to respond with laughter. Laughter may be the friendliness of others.
