Xuan Jingchen looked at the boy's bandaged hand, frowning slightly, "This hand of little gentleman..."

Hearing this, Zhong Lishuo lowered his eyes and landed on his hands. He pulled his sleeves to block it, and said with a smile, "I was injured while practicing arrows some time ago. It's not very elegant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." , messy but not dirty is chic, keeping clean is manners. If there are any scars on the body, it must be covered up as a courtesy.

Zhong Lishuo felt that the wound on his hand was very annoying, so he kept piercing it today.

Xuan Jingchen shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of aesthetics, how bad is the little gentleman's hand injury, and what is it? It's not good if the bandage is so impervious to the wind, if it is stuffy and inflamed."

Zhong Lishuo replied, "It's a small injury, but it was a blister, and the medical worker punctured it for me, and put medicine on my hand." It was said to be a blister, but in fact, a blister is more appropriate. It looks really scary.

Xuan Jingchen nodded, not talking too much, but he took this matter down in his heart.

After the lecture that day, Xuan Jingchen returned to the palace, and when he saw the sergeant An, he said, "Where is the ointment sent from the Tai Hospital before? Get me a jar."

Attendant An agreed and went down to find the ointment that His Majesty asked for. After washing up and having dinner, Xuan Jingchen read the unread memorials one by one, and went to bed when the hour came.

In the early morning of the second day, when Xuan Jingchen heard the words of the Minister of Rites, he understood why the wound on Zhong Lishuo's hand came from.

"According to the reported noble youth assessment, we have selected two according to their age. One is the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Le Zhengsu, and the other is Xu Renli, the second son of the Zuo Prime Minister, as the companion of the prince of the barbarian Suhe. The son of the Marquis of Zhenbei is more knowledgeable. Wen, he is very good at the northern language, and can teach the Qing Dynasty literature to the prince. Zuo Cheng's son Xu Ren is outstanding in martial arts, and he can also learn with the prince. This arrangement is the most suitable." Xuan Jingchen said this long series of words from the Minister of Rites. Too clear.

What remained in her mind was the phrase Zhenbei Hou Shizi was good at barbarian language. Others might not know it, but Xuan Jingchen knew very well that the Prince Zhaoming she accompanied was very proficient in foreign languages.

When the barbarians invaded that year, Emperor Zhao also went to find the records about the barbarians, and directly read the original text and analyzed the grievances and grievances of various ethnic groups with her. Can this little boy now speak barbarian language

She can play shakuhachi, write all kinds of different characters, and speak slang. His Highness will, what else could she not

She remembered what she said the last time she saw Qing Lan, "She looks so similar to His Royal Highness, knows shakuhachi, and has such a pure heart, that I almost saw the real person in the revival of Taibenji."

Why did Qing Lan come to her? The last time she saw her was Le Zhengsu's story? Why are the people in Tiansi so close to Le Zhengsu, whether it is because of Qing Lan's explanation, or for other reasons.

Xuan Jingchen thought of Le Zhengsu's increasingly similar face in her mind. The weak young prince and the sunny young prince overlapped together. A faint thought made her heart stunned.

After she listened to the courtiers patiently, she left the chief minister Xiang Sinian alone, and asked, "I suddenly remembered that before the Qinglan chief minister entered the kingdom of God, he joked with me that Le Zhengsu was a The choice of the middle palace. Le Zhengsu is your senior brother. I studied with her for a period of time. I felt that her teaching was no different from others, not so brilliant. Sinian, why do you recommend her to others? You are What are you hiding from me?"

After hearing the Queen's words, Xiang Sinian knew that the wise and wise Queen saw through her intentions. Moreover, the master joked with the queen about this long ago, but now that it is broken, there is nothing to worry about.

Xiang Sinian bent down and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are hiding it, but when the Minister of Rites asked for His Majesty's wedding, my master once calculated all the noble men and women of the right age for His Majesty, and calculated that Lezheng was happy. Su is the lord of the Qing Kingdom's central palace. He just instructed the minister, not when His Majesty mentioned it himself, the supervisor Tian Simo should report this matter."

In fact, the very lazy Qinglan only measured the birth date of Le Zhengsu. After discovering that it was created in heaven and earth together with the queen, he lied to his apprentice that he had measured many people, and asked Xiang Sinian to measure it himself. Just made a choice.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Xiang Sinian's rhetoric. When it is not His Majesty's inquiries, except for important matters of people's livelihood, the Superintendent of Tianjian does not need to take the initiative to report. What's more, Xuan Jingchen personally told Qing Lan not to interfere.

In this way, all the actions of Jian Tiansi were made clear.

Supervisor Tiansi's calculations are rarely wrong. If so, is Le Zhengsu her destined middle palace? One, who is so similar to Emperor Zhao, is it possible that he will always be by her side from now on

If Xuan Jingchen has always been the ruler of the world, then one day Le Zhengsu will become her middle palace. But the lord of the world is no longer Xuan Jingchen, and Le Zhengsu can stay in the Middle Palace as well. This is the astrolabe of the Eastern Emperor, and the result will be doomed, just like the life is doomed to die, but the process depends on the individual.

Hearing what Da Siming said, Xuan Jingchen was suddenly shocked. She clenched the armrest of the dragon chair, looked at Xiang Sinian and asked, "Is this true?"

"How dare I deceive Your Majesty? Although His Majesty did not ask my supervisor Tiansi, the younger brother found out that he is a rare middle palace that bears the fortune of the country. This is beneficial to the Qing Kingdom. I want to build a bridge for the younger brother. Only the master, I, and Uncle Feng know about this matter, and now His Majesty knows it." Xiang Sinian said one by one, his tone was sincere and did not lie in the slightest.

Xuan Jingchen relaxed slightly and wanted to lean on the armrest, she heard Xiang Sinian say: "Little senior brother doesn't know anything, Your Majesty, if you want to blame, then blame the minister for making his own decisions. Besides, the younger brother is indeed very accomplished in the scriptures and righteousness, and this minister is not considered to be deceiving Your Majesty, please don’t be angry with Your Majesty.”

After her remarks, Xuan Jingchen, who seldom blamed his officials, was speechless. She sat on the dragon chair and looked at the loneliness of the whole hall, only to feel that her whole body was soaked in the cold water, revealing a biting cold.

Knowing the candidates for the big wedding did not make Xuan Jingchen happy at all.

It turned out that her destined partner was not Zhong Lishuo, but someone else. If she really married Le Zhengsu in the future, how could she accompany the underground Zhong Lishuo after a hundred years. If she abandons the throne and passes it on to others, how will she face Zhong Lishuo who has entrusted her with important responsibilities

Either way, it's a problem. At this moment, a clearer question rose in Xuan Jingchen's mind.

Why can't Le Zhengsu be Zhong Lishuo? If in this world, there really exists a revived person in Taiben Ji, then is it possible that Le Zhengsu is Zhong Lishuo

She began to have absurd thoughts, and under her clear-cut government affairs, a confused hope arose.

Xuan Jingchen didn't blame Xiang Sinian, because everything she did was within the boundaries. People who believe in Dong Huang Taiyi have more and more respect for the theory of cause and effect in their hearts, and most of them are good people. Don't ask for what you can't ask for, don't be greedy for the unreachable, and don't do harm to others.

The supervisor of Tiansi was even more careful, centering on the emperor incarnated by the Eastern Emperor, carefully maintaining the operation of the mortal faith.

Xuan Jingchen didn't doubt Xiang Sinian's good intentions, just like she didn't believe in Qinglan, but she never doubted her belief. Therefore, after Xiang Sinian retired, Xuan Jingchen, who left the court hall, did not start handling government affairs for the first time after returning to the palace. Qing Lan's revival chapter, read it carefully.

Before that, she had roughly heard the story, but had not read the scriptures carefully.

The story in "Taiben Ji" is about the son of Wenren, the owner of a family of great virtue in Wanzhou, who did too much good deeds in his family. On sick women of the same age.

The man was married and had children before his resurrection, while the sick and weak woman who was reborn had an unmarried husband. He is grateful for the kindness of his original parents, and he is also concerned about his wife, and he does not know what to do with his fiancé. He did not die and entered the ruins, but his soul was in another body, remembering the things of the previous life, and receiving the grace of others. Troubled, tangled, and I don't know what to do.

Fortunately, Taidao persuaded and said: "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, your past life is over, and all your grievances are put down with death, even if you remember, you should give up."

In this way, the man let go of his heart, got married with his fiancé, and started a life of harmony and beauty.

Xuan Jingchen put down "Tai Yi Ji", only to feel disappointed. The deceased is gone, the living don't care, and the mortal ties are broken with death. Taiyimen is actually a sect that seems to be affectionate, but also very ruthless.

Death is the end of everything. But feelings, is it something that can die

What's more, she and Zhong Lishuo are only a couple in name.

With such a sense of disappointment, Xuan Jingchen went to listen to Zhong Lishuo's lecture as usual. At the time of the meeting, Xuan Jingchen also deliberately chose the smell of the plaster. When she handed the thing to Zhong Lishuo, she looked at the happy little face of the young man and said with a smile, "Does your Highness like the smell of cloves?" She used the Subei language. If it was Zhong Lishuo, she would definitely be able to hear it. Gotta understand.

"I like it." Zhong Lishuo nodded, keenly aware of the title, her heart skipped a beat, and she said tentatively, "Can Your Majesty speak savage language? I just learned it today, what does "His Royal Highness" mean? "She pretended not to understand and pronounced the sound.

The heart that Xuan Jingchen lifted high was slammed to the ground. She looked at the innocent face of the young man, shook her head and said, "I heard from the waiter Le Zheng that you are learning Barbarian language recently, so I took you a test just now. The word just now means the son, why didn't you learn the name when you learned it? Have you studied?"

Your Highness, the son of the Majesty, and the son of the Duke can be called Your Highness, but among the barbarians, they are often called the Prince. Zhong Lishuo understood that the title of Empress was unintentional, and he didn't understand it correctly. He just nodded and replied, "That's it, I've been taught."
