Not long after, Princess Ping came with Xigeer. Princess Yongjing and several other princesses in Beijing also came one after another, and Furong Pavilion, which had always been deserted, became lively.
Princess Yongjing did not see Li Xing and asked Li Wei privately about the matter.
Li Wei smiled and replied: "My father is ill, so I asked my sister to go back and take care of him for a while, and then come back after a while."
When the eldest princess heard that the Queen Mother's father was ill, she inevitably asked with concern: "Where is the great scholar's illness? I haven't heard anyone mention it yet, but what kind of illness is it? Does it matter?"
Li Wei replied: "I had a stroke. Now I am paralyzed in bed and can't move anything. I can't even speak."
The eldest princess heard this and said repeatedly: "Hey, hey, I heard you were fine before, why are you so sick?"
"Yes, the illness comes quickly and violently."
The eldest princess thought to herself that a stroke is a very dangerous thing, but it's just a matter of living. She fell in love with Li Xing for her second son. If Grand Scholar Li couldn't survive, Li Xing would have to observe filial piety for three years. He would be eighteen in three years. Wouldn't it be too late? The eldest princess couldn't help but wonder.
The noble concubine was holding Xi Geer and playing with the child. She secretly gave her daughter-in-law a wink and asked her to interact with the Queen Mother more often. Princess Ping understood, so she walked over and bowed to Li Wei before saying, "It's hot these days, so I don't have time to come to the palace to see the Queen. How is the Queen lately?"
Li Wei said: "The princess is concerned about me, I'm fine. I haven't seen you for a few days, and Xige'er has grown stronger and stronger."
Princess Ping heard that she took the child from Princess Jinggui and asked Li Wei to hold it.
Xige'er couldn't straighten his head up yet and still needed good support from his arms. The eyebrows and eyes gradually opened, and the shape of the lips was exactly the same as that of Prince Ping. Li Wei teased the child, and the little Xi Geer stared at Li Wei's face with dark eyes, looking like he was trying hard to identify, but later found out His mother opened her mouth and burst into tears, twisting her body to break away from Li Wei's arms.
Princess Ping felt a little embarrassed. She quickly stepped forward to take the child back and explained: "The little one has started to recognize people recently."
"You look pretty good." Li smiled and praised, then turned to Qiu Chan and said, "Go to the front to see how the emperor is preparing, and ask him when he will come over."
Here Fukang was about to take the boat. Princess Dun glared at her son, pulled her son tightly, and scolded her in a low voice.
Li Wei saw that there were many juniors, and the widows felt constrained by accompanying them, so he said: "Princesses and princesses can go on a boat cruise first, but be sure to pay attention to safety. Water is not something to play around with."
At the Queen Mother's order, several young princesses jumped onto a painted boat with the boatman beside them. The boat girl was also ready to help rock the boat, and the palace maids were waiting on the boat back and forth. A row of guards who knew how to handle water stood on the shore, always ready to deal with emergencies.
The female relatives in the waterside pavilion are chattering about the filial piety of their parents. The eldest princess was sitting next to Li Wei and was recommending a folk doctor she knew who had excellent medical skills to Li Wei. When Li Wei heard about it, she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the recommendation, princess. It really solves our Li family's urgent need. Look back." I told my family to ask for the doctor the princess mentioned."
Princess Yongjing said: "I hope the bachelor can get better slowly."
"Yes, but my parents are old. Once they fall down, it will be difficult to get up again. Not to mention other diseases, this stroke is terrible."
Half an hour later, the emperor's sedan entered the garden. It was still half a mile away from Furong Pavilion, so Fu Guang stopped the sedan. He lifted the curtain by himself and was about to get off the sedan chair when the eunuch who was driving with him saw him and ran over to help Fu Guang get out of the sedan chair.
Fu Guang said: "Bring the crutches."
The little eunuch said: "Your Majesty, it is better for your servant to carry you there."
"Bring me the crutches!" The same words were repeated, and the tone suddenly rose a few degrees. Everyone could tell that the emperor was not feeling very comfortable at the moment. Fortunately, Zhang Chaoen trotted over from behind and held an agarwood crutch in his hands.
Fu Guang walked slowly on his crutches, and Furong Pavilion was already in sight. For a short distance, Fu Guang walked that way step by step, and every step was difficult. But he finally walked into the waterside pavilion completely on his own strength.
Among the people kneeling on the ground in the waterside pavilion, only Li Wei was sitting there. When she saw the little emperor walking towards her, she slowly stood up and said with a look of relief: "Your Majesty, you did it."
Fu Guang was about to salute Li Wei, but was stopped by Li Wei: "My dear prince, today is a good day for you, so I won't talk about those false courtesy. Seeing you getting better and better, the queen mother is happier than anything else. "
Seeing that the waterside pavilion had been carefully decorated, Fu Guang asked with a smile, "Does the Queen like it here?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "I like it."
Fu Guang saw the boat and said he wanted to sit on it. Li Wei agreed, "Okay."
Later, Li Wei helped Fu Guang onto the boat. On this boat, Princess Yongjing, Princess Jinggui, Princess Ping, and Prince Fuding followed all the way.
Li Wei sat next to the beauty under the long window, with Fu Guang accompanying her.
In this situation, in order to please his mother, Fu Guang said specifically: "Last night, I was reading Taibai's collection of poems, and there was a song about lotus in the middle. Can I come to my mother and listen to it?"
Li smiled and nodded: "What sentences did Huang'er learn newly? Tell me and listen."
Fu Guang had already been brewing in his heart, and then he chanted: "Three hundred miles away from Jinghu Lake, there are lotuses blooming. In the fifth month, Xishi is picked, and people look at it like a narrow lake. When you return to the boat, you don't wait for the moon, and you go back to Yuewang's house."
After hearing this, Li Wei said: "This poem uses few allusions, the words are clear and beautiful, and every sentence is a good one."
Seeing that his mother liked it, Fu Guang's face gradually became happy, and he continued: "But the emperor's uncle always said that poetry couplets are just some small things with little effort. I don't want my son to spend a lot of effort on them, so until now the master has not Teach your son how to compose poetry. Let the master teach you the Four Books and Five Classics, and several political figures."
Cultivating an emperor requires political strategy, not cultivating a generation of talented people. The late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be said to be the emperor of Ci. He had extremely high literary attainments, but he was not a good emperor. Li Wei understood Zhao Qian's intentions, and she said to Fu Guang: "Talent is just an embellishment. The most important thing is to learn the ability to govern the country well and absorb more wisdom from the sages. These days, your legs are not good, and you didn't go to the court meeting." Bar?"
Fu Guang nodded helplessly.
Li Wei said: "You must be informed about national affairs, and you must listen to the various voices of the ministers below. After you get better, you still have to insist on attending the daily morning court, and let the cabinet cooperate with you."
The eldest princess on the side said approvingly: "The Queen Mother is wise." She also said to Fu Guang: "After this year, the Emperor should consider giving the Queen Mother a title."
Fu Guang said hurriedly: "I'm already thinking about it."
