Li Wei was copying the post in the study, and Lan Hui was waiting for the pen and ink in front of her. Li Wei stood by the desk and wrote a few lines. She copied them perfectly, but she seemed not satisfied. She frowned and took the written piece of paper again. Kneaded.
Lan Hui was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, your writing is very good. Why did you rub it again?"
"It's just imitation, nothing good about it."
Li Wei sat back in the armchair at the back and reached out to take the tea bowl and took a big sip. Lan Hui was still serving him carefully.
"I heard that the Fifth Lady had a few words alone with the Regent at the door."
Such sudden words made Li Wei very puzzled. She looked at Lan Hui and asked: "Are you the person arranged by the regent?"
Nalan Hui panicked and immediately knelt down to Li Wei and begged: "I am guilty, please don't drive me away."
There is no denying it, it seems that is it.
Lan Hui was the palace maid assigned to her by her eldest sister, and she had been with her for five or six years. She had no idea when she was subdued by Zhao Qian.
"Please abide by your duty. If you can't do it, please get out. Anyway, I think there are enough people around me to serve."
Li Wei's tone was quite indifferent, and Lan Hui was afraid to speak.
Li Wei stopped writing. She got up and walked out. She planned to go to Princess Dun's place to sit, but she didn't sit on her shoulder. She followed her to Yihe Hall with Qingxiang and Fangqin.
After the heavy rain, the summer heat had subsided quite a bit. Concubine Dun was sitting on the porch with no one around to serve her, teaching Fukang how to read. When the people in the palace informed the Queen Mother that she had arrived, she stood up in a hurry.
"Why are you here, Queen Mother?"
"There is nothing to do in the palace, so I came out and walked around."
Fukang greeted Li Wei, and Li Wei pulled him up. The little man seemed to be in good spirits today, his face had color, and he looked much healthier indeed.
"Xiao Liu seems to be doing well. In a few days, he will be able to go to school with his brothers and sisters."
Fukang smiled shyly, and Princess Dun said: "He is being taught how to read "Hundred Family Surnames" here, which is considered enlightenment. He was born a bit stupid, and he couldn't learn it even after being taught for a long time, but it pissed me off to death."
Li Wei touched Fukang's head and said, "Xiao Liu, let's go out and play. I'll talk to your mother and concubine for a while."
Then Fukang resigned from Li Wei in a decent manner. Li Wei nodded, and then the little eunuch who was close to him took Fukang to play.
Li Wei asked Princess Dun to sit down in front of her, and the two of them chatted on the corridor like good sisters.
"Taifei, although I have never given birth to a child, I have watched the emperor and the ninth princess over the years, so I have a say in how to educate children. Here are a few words. Don't be angry after hearing this."
Concubine Dun was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "If I do something wrong, please ask the Queen Mother for advice."
Li Wei spoke gently and whispered to Concubine Dun: "Nowadays, these children are very strong-willed. Although they are young, they all value self-esteem. In the future, don't call Xiaoliu stupid, especially in front of others, otherwise the child will feel inferior in his heart. It will be difficult for him to achieve anything in his studies in the future."
It turned out that it was because of this that Princess Dun breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are right."
"You have to take his face into consideration when speaking in front of a child. What's more, I think Xiaoliu is actually very good. You are too impatient and want to hand over all the knowledge to him immediately. How can this be done? Education is also a step-by-step process. It’s a process. He is still young, the first step is to take good care of his body, and the second step is to improve his studies.”
After hearing this, Princess Dun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have taught me well."
"I'm not trying to lecture you, but I'm just going to sit down and share my parenting experience with you. When you're confused, you might as well put yourself in your child's shoes and think about what's right for him. If this continues, your child will definitely not grow crooked. He has a noble background. "In the future, he will not pursue an official career or pursue all-round development. I hope he can learn books and know etiquette, and at the same time, if he can contribute to this country, he will live up to his background as a prince. "
Concubine Dun agreed very much with the first words, but she didn't dare to think about the next few words. She just hoped that her Xiaoliu could grow up smoothly and spend this life safely.
The two of them sat together and exchanged parenting experiences, which seemed like a peaceful time.
While talking, the subject of Princess Ping's child came up somehow. Princess Dun smiled and said: "I just happened to have a look at that child in Yongshou Palace. He is really handsome. Such an older child is also cute. I think so." It reminds me of what our Xiaoliu looked like when we were young.”
"If I remember correctly, you suffered a lot from the time you were pregnant with Xiaoliu to the time you were born, right?"
Concubine Dun said apologetically: "Yes, I couldn't eat all day long at that time, and he was a premature baby. When he was first born, he thought he couldn't feed him. I didn't expect that he would be so stumbling. If I had If he can eat something well, he will grow better in my belly, and if he comes out after enough time, he will not be so sick. "
"What you are born with is deficient, and you have to make up for it the day after tomorrow. When you are born in the palace, everything is the best, why don't you worry? If you raise it carefully, it will be fine."
The two sisters talked for a long time, until Li Wei felt a little tired before leaving.
She returned to Chongqing Palace and saw Li Xing and Shujia sitting on the Kang turning flower ropes. Li Wei didn't ask Li Xing about that matter, and actually couldn't ask him.
After another three to five days, Li Shi's case was finally settled. In the face of various evidences, Li Shi was dismissed from his post, avoided jail, and was fined one thousand taels of silver.
The Queen Mother's brother committed a crime, which caused a sensation long ago. When everyone thought that the matter would end quietly, when the case was concluded, it caused a huge response from the government and the public. It turns out that the Queen Mother's brother will be punished if he commits a crime.
For a time, the streets and alleys in the capital were talking about this matter.
Because of this incident, the two families of the Li family completely became enemies. Mrs. Fu came into the palace and cried to Li Wei, complaining that Mrs. Wen scolded her in public and prevented her from getting off the stage.
Seeing the sadness on his mother's face, Li Wei also looked helpless: "Not sending him to jail is the biggest leniency, what else do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Fu wiped her tears and said, "I'm afraid your aunt will come into the palace to ask you."
This thing was a mess, and Li Wei could bear the result, but the people in the long house couldn't. Li Wei thought over and over again and said, "Mom, please give me a message to my aunt and brother. Tell them to reflect on their mistakes. What they have lost is the present, but they still have a future. They can hibernate for a few years and wait for the future." ”
Mrs. Fu understood what Li Wei meant. She wiped the corners of her eyes and then asked, "Awei, let me ask you something. If your sixth brother makes a mistake in the future, will you do the same?"
Li Wei said: "I'm not partial to anyone. No matter whether you are the eldest brother or the sixth brother, you have to bear the relevant responsibilities if you commit any crime. If you can't bear this responsibility, don't be an official anymore and do something else as soon as possible."
