Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Martial Queen's Questioning

Finally, it was noon, and they came out. As soon as they met, Wu Meiniang smiled and asked: "How, Han'er, how are you learning the Tao Te Ching?" Wan'er and Yu'er are in your arms, I don't believe you can still learn it? I'm just afraid, I fell into the gentle township, right? Haha! How does our Wan'er feel?"

"Hehe, go back to the queen mother, I learned about eight chapters, I only listen to Wan'er read; I listen, I don't memorize! Haha, it feels good, this "Tao Te Ching" is really useful, but unfortunately, my time is tight, I only have a month to study, otherwise, I really want to memorize it all!" Xiao Han said regretfully.

"Ah, and your way of reading calligraphy?Wan'er, is that really the case?" Wu Meiniang's gaze turned to Shangguan Wan'er.

"That's true, Brother Han said that he only listened and memorized useful sentences, today, he memorized more than 20 sentences, and he said that the rest was useless, all over, he asked me to choose the most applicable learning, mainly choose the sentences that can be used by Brother Han to practice swords!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly explained.

"Ah, this is fresh, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of this kind of calligraphy?" Wu Meixiang's eyes were rolling again.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, we don't seem to have tried this kind of learning method, so, Han'er, what have you learned?" Gaozong Li Zhi was also surprised.

"In the first chapter of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", I only remembered 'Nameless, the beginning of all things, famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire, to observe its wonder, often to have desire, to observe its subtlety', these few sentences, I feel a little useful; yes, it is really good to use it for us to practice swords, there are moves, or, no moves, or between there are no moves, it feels quite mysterious, but it must be used according to the situation against the enemy, and it is indeed subtle to use it according to the situation when facing the enemy, and not to die to move the dogma!" Xiao Han said casually.

"Ah, do you learn like this? Then don't memorize the rest?" Gaozong Li Zhi was surprised.

"The rest is useless, that's Lao Tzu joking on us, what are you doing so mysteriously? For me, the more practical the better, the best, and it is best to be able to directly apply it to the practice of swordsmanship!" Xiao Han said unceremoniously.

"Haha, this is new, Han'er's reading method is completely pragmatist, very good, maybe, reading should be like this, useless things, why do you carry it? What are you doing with so many Xuanxuan?" Wu Meiniang understood a little: this kid is really a clever ghost, it seems that he should not be underestimated, maybe, he is really his best sword!

"Then, how many words did you remember in the second chapter?" Gaozong Li Zhi frowned: he really didn't dare to agree, but Wu Meiniang liked it, and he didn't want to object!

"I only memorized the words 'have, difficulty, long-term knowledge, superiority, sound, before and after', as well as 'for the sake of it, success and not living', I feel that this sentence is the most suitable for me, when I practice writing in the afternoon, I will write this sentence at least twenty times, until I remember it!" Xiao Han said seriously.

"Ahh

Wu Meiniang is becoming more and more clear: It turns out that this kid has this kind of mind, no wonder, his character is like this, well, it seems that there is no need to guard against him!

Her gaze unconsciously looked at Wan'er, and what responded to her was, of course, the most satisfying result, and she finally showed a satisfied smile.

"'Have, have, difficulty, long knowledge, high and low, sound, before and after' these words, used for sword practice, very practical, if used for kendo practice, it is like a golden jade good words, I want to experience it well; as for 'for the sake of the Buddha, success but not residence', I like it the most, just like when I go to the Sword Palace, I must seriously practice the "Sword Codex" Even if I defeat the number one master of the Sword Palace, don't take it seriously, I don't care about anything like a sword god at all, because, the sword path I want to get is constantly climbing, not to draw that false name, the false name is not interesting!" He directly explained his attitude to Wu Meiniang.

"Mei Niang, no, queen, what do you think?"

"Very good, this is the real sage, it seems that our Han'er is not only a warrior and a swordsman, but also an ancient sage with high morals, haha, this is the talent that my Tang Dynasty needs the most, doesn't the emperor think so?" Wu Meiniang's face was as if she had drunk honey.

"Queen Xie's mother appreciates, Xiao Han doesn't dare to be!" Xiao Han hurriedly thanked him.

At this time, Gaozong Li Zhi finally understood that his son had this kind of thought, and it seemed that he had to do so! He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, okay, then you can read the scholar in your own way, haha, continue your 'for the sake of it, succeed but not live', and do a good job for me and the queen!"

"Yes, follow the emperor's teachings!" Xiao Han is becoming more and more well-behaved, which is exactly what Wu Meiniang wants to see!

"It's good to study without dying, but in addition to practicing swordsmanship, Han'er should also pay attention to the political situation, be our helper, and prepare for everything in advance, so as not to catch us off guard, you know?" Wu Meiniang instructed him again.

"Yes, please rest assured, Wan'er will pay attention to observation, I am currently in retreat to practice swords, on the third day of the third month of March, I will go to Mount Tai to compete with Yun'er for swords, and then, it will be the practice of the Sword Palace in January!" Xiao Han briefly reported his arrangements.

"Okay, I know you're busy, but you're going to get married at the end of the month, haha, although swordsmanship cultivation is important, don't snub your three daughters-in-law, if they are unhappy, your life will be sad!" Gaozong said humorously.

"I know, thank you for the emperor's concern, Xiao Han's sword cultivation is not wrong, I won't let them be lonely, haha, my sword cultivation is also cultivation, and cultivation is also cultivation, they will be satisfied!" Xiao Han said happily.

"Ah? Why is this? This palace doesn't understand anymore!" Wu Meiniang asked again: Could it be that this kid is really a miracle, so powerful?

"The sword is love, there is no love, where is the sword?Yu'er, Wan'er, and Yun'er are all my best helpers on the road to sword cultivation, haha, of course, Sister Taiping too!" After speaking, he quickly pulled Princess Taiping and kissed it, before he said apologetically: "I forgot to kiss Taiping today, haha, sister, don't be angry!"

"Hehe, it's good that my brother is worried about me, Taiping likes it, don't worry, I'm fine!" Princess Taiping was full of charm again, and her face was full of spring.

Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang saw it, they were all happy and regretful!

Gaozong was a little worried in his heart, Wu Meiniang hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, they are just brother and sister, Taiping and Han'er are very measured people, nothing will happen, I have asked Wan'er to find Ruyi Langjun for Taiping, I have taken a fancy to Qin Yun's kid, I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

"Okay, of course it's good, I'm afraid that Taiping won't be happy, and the third lord can also do it, I hope it, alas, this is my sin!" Gaozong's face was unhappy again.

"What, I think it's good; Your Majesty, don't mention the past, as long as Taiping and Han'er are good, let's discuss other things!" Suddenly, Wu Meiniang felt that the victory was in her hands, and her face was full of sweetness.

"Taiping has worked hard, how did they fight in the morning?" Xiao Han couldn't help but ask.

"Haha!" Princess Taiping smiled, and then said: "It's not interesting, just don't keep it, Prince Hong is very busy, and he has received a lot of talents, Brother Han rest assured, the masters are in the hands of the Sword Saint, he knows what to do!"

"Well, that's good, Taiping, this is very important, at a critical time, they are an important force to protect the imperial city, you just have to know it yourself;

Prince Hong is obviously not willing to be lonely, he really has an idea, is it good or bad?

"Is it that serious? Brother Han is a little unfounded? Brother Hong won't be like this, right?" Princess Taiping's face became gloomy.

"What do you say, it is estimated that it will not be long before the queen mother must have a will for you, hehe, the most nervous now is Hong, he is a little nervous; in fact, it is best to be calm, and it is best not to move, but unfortunately, he seems to be in too much of a hurry, and he feels that he should read the Tao Te Ching the most, alas!" Xiao Han sighed unconsciously.

"However, we can't make decisions for him, there are people behind him, maybe, this is the palace struggle, what should we do?" Princess Taiping said.

"Don't do anything, just obey the will of my father and queen mother, haha, at present, watch dramas, literary and martial arts!" Xiao Han laughed unconsciously.

"Han'er, what are you laughing at?, is there something happy with Taiping?" Wu Meiniang saw it and asked casually.

"Queen Mother, I said that this martial arts show is also very good-looking, but Taiping said boring, otherwise, how about we go out of the city in the afternoon to have fun? Anyway, there is a prince here in Zhang Luo, we are happy!" Xiao Han hurriedly said.

"Well, Your Majesty, what do you see, should we go out of the city to play?" Wu Meiniang's skills are getting better and better.

"Okay, why don't you go? The weather is good today, let's go out to play, but, Han'er, how do you practice your words?" Gaozong couldn't help but ask.

"Practice calligraphy, you can practice it there, anyway, Wan'er and Taiping are there, we can practice calligraphy anywhere, maybe, we can practice calligraphy on horseback, haha!" Xiao Han was even happier.

"Then go to Xishan, there is a palace there, stationery is readily available, practice calligraphy, or the rules are the best, words, must be rules, I don't understand swordsmanship, but calligraphy, Taiping, Wan'er, must let Xiaohan practice in a regular manner!" Gaozong Li Zhi said uneasily.

"Got it, haha, this time, it's my turn to try to clean up Brother Han!" Princess Taiping said happily, casually kissing Xiao Han again.

"It's cheap for you, you write a list, I'll draw it, and then I'll try to write those nine words, today, I'll only practice those words!" Xiao Han hurriedly said seriously.

"That's right, writing on horseback, how can it be done? Unless it's wild grass, but, you don't have that foundation, take your time, Han'er, don't be in a hurry!" Gaozong hurriedly said.

"Got it, thank you for the emperor's teachings!" Xiao Han became more and more regular.

"Taiping, then you go and make arrangements, your house also has to make arrangements, let the Sword Saint help you with it, and King Luo Bin, with the two of them here, one article and one martial arts, it should be possible to do a good job, okay, let's go to Xishan to live for two days, it will be quiet there, and we will enjoy Qingfu!" Wu Meiniang actually looked yearning.

Could it be that there's really something fun there? Xiao Han thought unconsciously.

"Yes, the water in Xishan is good, the hot springs are good, and the water there is the best Longjing; Brother Han, you might as well learn to taste tea, you can't drink all day long, and it's not bad to learn the tea ceremony, it's very interesting!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly explained.

"Okay, with Wan'er here, what can't you learn? Thank you Wan'er!" Xiao Han finished speaking, and quickly kissed her again.
