Li Wei ran away again. Although he didn't know why she ran away, there were a few things he wanted to tell her clearly.
Zhao Qian nodded slightly to Li Xing and went out. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Li Wei and Shujia standing by the scroll vat in the corridor over there. They bent down and were talking to Shujia, with expressions on their faces. There is a faint smile.
Zhao Qian looked over there, staring for a long time with an expression of obsession that he was not even aware of.
Li Xing also came out. She wanted to say something to Zhao Qian, but she saw that Zhao Qian had already walked towards the opposite side, and stopped under the pillars with red lacquer carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
"The lotus bloomed early this year."
"It's because the weather is hot this year. If they take good care of it, the flowers in Taiye Pond haven't bloomed yet, not even the flowers have bloomed yet." Li Wei said quietly. She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Qian, wondering: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
"Nothing, just..." Zhao Qian touched his nose and made a rather excessive request: "Can I have a few words with the Queen Mother alone?"
Li Wei didn't know what he was thinking. Li Wei tightened Shujia's hand and whispered to Shujia: "Your uncle is going to travel far. What do you want to say to him?"
Shujia raised her head and said, "Uncle Emperor, have a safe journey!"
When Zhao Qian heard that, he hurriedly bent down, touched Shujia's cheek tenderly, and said with a smile: "Ninth Princess, please accompany your mother well, and uncle will buy you good things later."
Li Wei kept holding Shujia's hand and said, "If the prince is fine, please come back."
Not even giving her a chance to be alone, Zhao Qian was inevitably frustrated, but he still said goodbye to her with a smile.
"treasure!"
Zhao Qian finally reluctantly left.
Li Wei and Shujia were still standing under the eaves, pretending as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing with Shujia as usual.
Li Wei considers herself to be a person who is more rational than emotional. She knows very well what emotions are useful to her and what emotions are useless to her. Currently sitting in the position of the Queen Mother, as the late emperor's concubine, she had long lost the right to have romantic relationships. What she can do now is to use her status as Queen Mother to pave the way for the future emperor to rule in person and make her due contribution to the development of this era.
"Mother, the sun is shining, shall we go in?" Shujia raised her little face and looked at her mother.
Li Wei agreed and led Shujia into the house. Li Xingxing came to Li Wei and said, "Queen Mother, I heard that you want to hire a chess doctor for me?"
Li Wei said: "Didn't you say you wanted to learn how to play chess before? Someone just recommended a person to me. You can follow me and learn how to play chess."
Li Xing lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Queen Mother, I don't want to learn to play chess anymore."
"Oh?" Li Wei asked in surprise: "Why don't you learn?"
Li Xingdao: "I think playing chess is quite boring, not interesting, and there is not much use in learning it."
Li smiled and said: "What's the use? It's just a skill for self-cultivation. People who are good at chess have good logic. They are very intelligent people and can think ahead than others. I think it's pretty good. If it weren't for the skill These things are complicated, and I want to learn them carefully.”
Although Li Wei finally said it, Li Xing still said: "I won't learn chess anymore."
"Then what do you want to learn?"
Li Xing raised his face and said, "I want to learn female beauty."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Want to learn more exquisite embroidery?"
Li Xing smiled and nodded.
Li Wei did not embarrass Li Xing on this matter, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can learn if you are willing, and I will hire a new master for you." Li Wei touched Shujia's head again and said: "My ninth princess, you Want to learn something specific?”
Shujia said hurriedly: "My son has something he likes very much, but my mother won't let him learn it."
"You tell me and I'll think about it."
Shujia said: "When Sister Caizhi from Imperial Physician Lu's family came in to treat my mother, I was very envious of her and extremely curious about medical skills."
"You want to study medicine?"
Shujia thought to herself that her wet nurse had told her before that she was a princess, and her mother would definitely not like these messy things, and they were not something she, a princess, should learn, so she shook her head and denied, "I don't want to anymore."
"What do you mean I don't want to anymore? If you really want to learn medicine, I will still let Cai Zhi come in and teach you well. Being able to learn medical skills is not a shameful thing. Your mother is promoting the Hui Medical Department to the whole country, and let Tai Hospital help to train you." Doctor, it would be a good example if you could come out and study medicine.”
After hearing that the queen mother meant that she agreed to it, Shujia's face immediately returned with joy: "Does the queen mother agree to it?"
"This is a serious matter, why don't you agree. But studying medicine is very boring. You have to be able to endure loneliness, be bold and careful, have a strong memory, and be good at summarizing and discovering. Anyway, it is a hard job. Can you Can you do it?”
Shujia nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yes."
One day later, Zhao Qian set out on his way east. First he rode a horse, then got tired and sat back in the carriage. In an era without cars, trains or airplanes, traveling far away was a difficult task. What's more, it is the hottest time of the year, but Zhao Qian has no choice. He wants to go deep into the people to conduct research. In addition to Shandong, he will also go to the two lakes and maybe the south of the Yangtze River. He hopes to be there before her birthday at the end of the year. Rush back.
The day after Zhao Qian left, there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain followed one after another, attacking the sky above the capital.
Looking at the storm outside, Li Wei's thoughts naturally stayed on the man who was out, hoping that he would find a shelter from the rain in time, and that he would be safe and smooth without any accidents. She hoped he would come back safely.
The heavy rain later turned into light rain and showed no sign of letting up until dusk. When it was almost time to hold the lamp, someone from Hanyuan Hall came to report to Li Wei.
"Queen Mother, the Emperor fell down on the school grounds today."
"It's raining today and he's still going to practice riding and shooting?" Li Wei was shocked and angry.
The visitor replied: "When the rain subsided in the afternoon, the emperor went to practice for less than an hour, but something happened at this time."
"How did it fall?"
The visitor said that the ground was slippery and Fu Guang fell down without stepping firmly.
Li Wei felt heartbroken after hearing this, and hurriedly said that he was going to Hanyuan Hall to visit Fu Guang.
When Li Wei rushed over, the imperial doctor in front of him didn't leave either. Li Wei asked the imperial doctor about the situation.
The imperial doctor said: "I'm afraid I've injured my bones and I need to stay in bed for a while."
Something like this happened just after Zhao Qian left. Li Wei was very heartbroken when he saw the injured Fu Guang, and couldn't help scolding him: "You kid doesn't stay honest when it rains. What's wrong with this?"
Fu Guang felt that he was in the wrong and felt sorry for his mother, so he lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault for making my mother worry."
"If you know you were wrong, take good care of yourself and listen to the instructions."
