On the eighteenth day of the winter lunar month, the anniversary ceremony of the late emperor was held.
Preparations for this major event began as early as the beginning of the month, but Li Wei has now left the affairs of the palace to Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Dun. She only occasionally inquires about the progress of the process.
As the new emperor, Fu Guang was going to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum on the day of the grand ceremony. It was cold these days, and Li Wei couldn't help but worry that Fu Guang would not be able to bear the torment he put in going back and forth.
The emperor traveled on a large scale, and Fu Guang could not walk even a few steps. When it was cold, someone helped put on clothes, and someone handed him a hand stove. When he was hungry, he prepared snacks and pastries with him. It was very convenient to put them in a food box to eat and take away immediately.
Fu Guang is stronger than Li Wei thought. After arriving at the emperor's mausoleum, he got out of the car without any support and walked step by step towards the late emperor's mausoleum. He offered incense, offered libations, and knelt down. He didn't need anyone's guidance. As long as he sang along with the master of ceremonies, he could do it very well.
Fu Guang worshiped his emperor Kao and his concubine devoutly. He pursed his lips tightly and said not a word to the sleeping people in the underground palace, but he kept chanting in his heart: "Father, Emperor, Mother, when our children grow up, they will guard the country that their ancestors conquered. Please You two protect your sons and ministers, and you also protect the people of Qi."
After paying homage to the mausoleum, he still returned to the palace. The veterans of the cabinet and the regent were holding a meeting to discuss matters, but they did not invite the young emperor to come and observe. Fu Guang never cared, he was still young now, and what he had was the future.
Fu Guang then went to the study to study with his master, and listened to his master's lectures on the principles of governing the country by the sages. After eating a little food, he went to the school field to practice riding and shooting.
Fu Guang has made great progress in these days, his sight has also been greatly improved, and his strength has gradually been developed. After receiving praise from his martial arts master, Fu Guang smiled happily, feeling like a real child at this moment.
He practiced in the school grounds for a full hour and a half, until the strong wind picked up and the dust blown up blinded his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while." Zhang Chaoen said and took a plain cloak over to add some clothes to Fu Guang, but Fu Guang waved his hand and said, "Zhang Banban, I'm not cold."
He took a short rest, wiped his eyes with the hot handkerchief that was handed to him, sat down and drank two sips of hot tea, then went out with his bow and shot a few arrows. Until Zhang Chaoen came over and said to him: "Your Majesty, it's snowing. There is no need to practice any more. The Queen Mother will feel distressed when she sees it later."
Fu Guang heard that when he looked up at the sky, there were indeed tiny flakes of snow falling from the sky. He stretched out his hand to catch it, and the tiny snowflakes turned into water as soon as they reached his palm.
Fu Guang said worriedly: "After a drought for most of the winter, the first snow finally came too late."
"No, this time in previous years has already been after three or four heavy snowfalls. This winter is really dry. I hope this snowfall lasts longer."
Fu Guang stood in the wind and snow for a while before saying to Zhang Chaoen: "Come on, let's go to Chongqing Palace."
He knew that his mother was afraid of the cold, so he wanted to go and have a look at her. Fu Guang walked out of the school grounds, and before he got on the sedan, he saw the regent walking towards him from a distance in the wind and snow.
After Fu Guang stood still, he waited until Zhao Qian came forward and saluted Zhao Qian: "Uncle Emperor!"
"Good boy, it's snowing and you're still practicing archery?"
Fu Guang smiled and said, "I'm not going to practice anymore. I'm going to see my mother. Is the emperor going to go too?"
"I..." The two of them broke up and never met again. Although Zhao Qian thought about Li Wei several times every day, he always restrained himself from disturbing her.
Zhao Qian thought for a while and then said: "I won't go. It's enough for the Emperor to say hello to the Queen Mother for me."
Fu Guang answered yes. Zhao Qian said a few more words of concern before the uncle and nephew went in their own directions.
The weather was so cold, but Li Wei didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. He moved a chair to the corridor and was watching the snow with a hand stove in his arms. The light snow gradually turned into moderate snow, and the snowflakes also became larger. It fell on the steps in front of me, but it never accumulated. It quickly turned into water, and with the north wind, it became colder and colder.
Qingxiang persuaded her: "It's getting colder and colder. Please go to the Nuan Pavilion and sit down. Be careful not to catch the cold."
Just as he was talking, he saw a small figure entering the door, it was Fu Guang! He came here even on such a cold day. Li Wei suddenly stood up.
Fu Guang arrived quickly, and frowned and asked in concern: "Mother, you are afraid of the cold, why don't you go inside and sit down?"
Li Wei said: "I thought the snow was interesting, so I watched it. Why did the Emperor come here when it was snowing?"
Fu Guang said: "I thought it was time to come and pay my respects to my mother."
As the mother and son spoke, they entered the Nuan Pavilion together.
The room was warm, and Li Wei asked Fu Guang to sit on the Kang.
The kang was extremely hot, so Fu Guang took off his outer clothes, revealing the apricot-yellow clothes underneath. Li Wei suddenly discovered that there was a thread under Fu Guang's armpit, and there was a hole. She frowned and said, "People on the needlework are becoming more and more careless."
Fu Guang said nervously: "It's okay, just ask them to sew it up later."
There was a kang table between the mother and son. Li Wei paid attention to Fu Guang's homework as usual, and Fu Guang told Li Wei excitedly about his progress in archery. After hearing this, Li Wei praised: "It's progress. This is great." It's a good thing, but you still have to pay attention to the master's instructions. If someone else is greedy for the sight, or insists on pulling a heavy bow, it will be bad for himself. "
"The Queen Mother is absolutely right."
Li smiled and nodded and said, "I am becoming more and more like a big kid. Work hard."
Fu Guang thought to himself that he was already an adult, not a child.
"By the way, I met the emperor's uncle when I came out of the school grounds. I originally thought that the emperor's uncle was going to come with my son to say hello to my mother, but the emperor's uncle asked my son to say hello to my mother and empress for him."
Li Wei was startled, then pursed his lips and smiled: "I understand, thank you for conveying it."
The snow stopped before nightfall. The sun was still shining brightly the next day, and all the snow that had fallen evaporated back. The land is still dry. Because of the drought, various diseases tend to break out these days. People were sick in several places in the palace.
Li Wei ordered the hospital to prepare a lot of decoctions and taught everyone how to prevent it.
During this period, Shujia also became infected. I had a high fever and took many medicines but the effects were slow. Li Wei guarded her, feeling even more distressed when she saw the sick child.
My face and neck were burning hot, so I tried wiping my palms and soles of my feet with wine. I also tried scraping, but the body heat still wouldn't come down.
Li Wei remembered the last time Shujia was in danger, and was afraid that Shujia would be in that situation again, so this time she tried all possible methods, but when she still couldn't solve the problem, she fed her a little more cefixime. I hope this medicine can reduce inflammation and sterilize the disease and help Shujia get better as soon as possible.
