Li Xing walked in and saw Li Wei sitting on the Arhat bed, holding a book and reading it under the lamp. She was about to speak, but suddenly she heard the eunuch outside calling out: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Li Xing then stepped aside and stood with his hands down.
When Li Wei heard that Fu Guang was coming, he also put down his book and sat upright.
The curtains were raised, and soon a small figure entered the room. When he arrived, he saluted Li Wei: "Bless your mother, Queen Mother."
Li Wei pulled Fu Guang to sit next to him, took his little hand and looked him up and down, and said, "Qianer asked someone to give you a rose candy cake. Do you like to eat it?"
Fu Guang smiled and replied: "It's fragrant and sweet. I like it very much. Thank you for thinking about it, mother."
"If you like it, I'll have someone make it for you later. The weather is getting hotter, but you have to be careful not to suffer from heatstroke. I heard that you ate two ice bowls last night because of the cold. How can this be done? Come back What if you have a stomachache?"
"My mother taught me rightly, and my sons and ministers all remembered it."
"Good boy, you are different from other children. In addition to taking your homework more seriously than anyone else, you also have to pay special attention to protecting your body and taking good care of yourself."
Fu Guang continued: "The regent said that I am too thin and asked me to learn archery from the master starting tomorrow."
"Where is the martial arts master he hired for you?"
Fu Guang nodded, and Li Wei said: "That's good. If you train your body to be stronger, you will get less sick in the future, and your resistance will increase. Being locked in a study all day long is not a good thing. In addition to archery, you must also practice horseback riding. There must be more Ask a few people to follow you, don’t be careless.”
Fu Guang said: "Mother, don't worry. Whether it's reading or riding a horse and archery, my son will practice well. In a few months, I will take my mother to the palace paddock for hunting."
Li Wei was happy when he heard this: "Okay, how much arm strength do you have at a young age? If you can't even draw the bow round, you won't go to the palace. Let's wait until you grow up in a few years. Now you are fine Just follow the master and learn.”
The mother and son walked around the yard hand in hand for several circles. Li Wei talked to Fu Guang about many interesting things, which made Fu Guang laugh. He realized that his mother was such an interesting person.
After a few laps, Li Wei was so hot that she was sweating all over. She stood still and said to Fu Guang, "Huang'er is also tired. Go back and rest early. You have to go to school again tomorrow morning."
"Yes, please mother and have a rest early. I will come to visit you tomorrow."
Li Wei said: "There is no need to send someone here every day to send a message, just let me know that you are fine. It is also a long way from Hanyuan Palace to Chongqing Palace."
Two young eunuchs held lanterns to lead the way. Fu Guang held the hand of a young eunuch and slowly left Chongqing Palace. The sedan chair outside was already waiting for him.
The close-fitting clothes had stuck to my back and I felt very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Fang Qinlai had already prepared fragrant soup and could take a bath immediately.
When Li Wei finished taking a bath, put on a close-fitting soft nightgown, and came to the bedroom with her hair loose, she saw Li Xing carrying his pillows and quilts and busy making the bed. Li Wei hurriedly asked: "Will fifth sister live with me tonight?"
Li Xing said with an apologetic smile: "I moved here without consulting the Queen Mother in advance. I just made my own decision. Please don't kick me out."
Li Xing was pretty, and when he said these words, he showed a bit of playfulness. He was a pretty and cute little girl. There was no way Li Wei would chase his sister away, so he agreed casually: "Let's stay here."
When Li Xing went to take a bath, Li Wei was waiting for her in the room. By the way, I also called Aunt Hu to come over and clear out the accounts for the past few days.
Li Wei promoted frugality, but after two months, he found that the expenses were still very high and had not been implemented. There were too many examples of vegetarian meals, and it seemed that some people had to be laid off. It's okay for the palace maids to say that it will be easy to get married after giving out a reward, but as for the eunuchs in each palace, these eunuchs have been closely connected with the palace since they were purified. It is difficult to find other things to do after leaving the palace. , if you want to lay them off, you have to arrange a way out for them.
It’s been a while since the princesses followed me into the school. I don’t know how the teaching is going. I think I’ll have to go and check it out tomorrow. If it’s feasible, should we promote girls’ school across the country
With the power in her hands, she can easily do things. She hopes that through her actions, women of this era can become more independent and stronger, instead of being blindly dependent on men. She wanted to improve the status of women in this era, so that women could enjoy the same social status as men, study and work, and even become officials in the court. During the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was good and women had a high status. They didn't dare to ask for anything else. It was enough to reach the stage of the Tang Dynasty.
Women in this era were able to receive education, and few were literate, but there were also outstanding ones. She should not be the only one like Lu Caizhi. It's a pity that no matter how good Caizhi's medical skills are, due to her background, it will be very difficult for her to practice medicine independently and promote her own medical skills.
In addition to improving the status of women, what remains is to vigorously cultivate technical talents, develop infrastructure, build medical clinics, and set up schools. Only in this era will there be progress.
There are a lot of things she wants to do right now, and they may not be able to bear fruit in three to five years. This is a long and lengthy process. If her generation cannot complete it, there will be another generation, and the important task will still be on Fu Guang. I hope that in ten or twenty years, Daqi will undergo earth-shaking changes.
When Li Wei was thinking hard, Li Xing came in.
"Your Majesty, haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
Li Wei yawned and told Nanny Hu: "Let's talk about the rest tomorrow. Nanny should also go to bed early."
Aunt Hu resigned.
The two sisters went to bed one after another, sleeping on one side, and Li Xing asked Li Wei to sleep inside. Qingxiang and others moved the lamp away, and the light in the room suddenly became much dimmer. Li Wei pulled a gauze quilt over her chest, with her arms exposed.
"Queen Mother, I heard someone said that my uncle had a conflict with you today?"
Li Wei was stunned for a moment. When Li Xing came over and wanted to squeeze into the bed with her, she understood that her sister was trying to persuade her about this. She lazily agreed: "That's what happened."
Li Xing asked cautiously again: "Is it about brother?"
Li Wei said: "You know very well that brother, someone intentionally used it to make a raft, but he was misbehaving and was caught. What do you think I can do? There are so many pairs of eyes staring at our Li family. You can't be wrong. Fifth sister, there are some things in the court that you don't quite understand, and I can't explain them to you. But please understand, I am not doing this to destroy the Li family, on the contrary, I want to protect it. Everyone."
If you don't protect your eldest brother when something happens to him, does that mean you're protecting him? No wonder the auntie is angry.
