"I'm not afraid, I just miss my mother." Li Hong left Wu Mei's arms, looked at Wu Mei with a smile, and suddenly kissed Wu Mei's beautiful face.
This kiss made Wu Mei helplessly roll her eyes at him, sighing and saying: "I fell into the trap of a little thing like you again, but today, do you think my mother will not punish you? There is no royal etiquette at all. , You should be punished. Come here, bring some new clothes for the king to put on."
"Ah? Mother, do you still have your son's clothes here?" Li Hong was shocked. He had been living with a palace maid since he was three years old. How could he still have his own clothes here
"Hmph, do you think the queen mother won't miss you after you little thing leaves?" Wu Mei rolled her eyes at him.
The palace maid quickly took out a set of clean and tidy clothes from the dormitory, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the king, this was made by the queen herself. Every stitch and every thread was sewn by the queen herself, and none of the slaves had a hand in it. Woolen cloth."
As a child less than four years old, it didn't matter to Wu Mei where she changed her clothes. She stretched out her hand to help Li Hong take off his coat that was soaked by the rain.
Li Hong had no choice but to finally show his maternal side. If he didn't cherish it, he might have fewer and fewer such opportunities in the future, so he opened his arms with a smile and waited for Wu Mei to help him change clothes.
Wu Mei's hands had just helped him unbutton a few cloth buttons from under his armpits. Li Hong's expression suddenly tightened, and his strange eyes wandered back and forth. He lowered his arms to hold Wu Mei's hands and said hurriedly: "Mother, my son and minister are still the same. You can change it yourself, I will go to your dormitory to change it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hong hurriedly avoided Wu Mei's hands and reached out to grab the new clothes held by the palace maid.
Wu Mei had long realized that something was wrong with this guy. As soon as she unbuttoned two buttons for him, she saw the little guy's eyes moving around as if he had remembered something. She immediately wanted to change her own. How could the little guy's expression escape her piercing eyes? , and immediately realized that this skinny monkey must be hiding something from her.
He took a step forward and grabbed Li Hong, and said: "You skinny monkey, what are you holding back? Do you know how to dress yourself? Don't think I don't know. You let Xia Zhi and others dress you every day." clothes."
"No, Queen Mother, my son has grown up and can be changed by himself." Li Hong struggled to break away from Wu Mei's arms.
The little guy is quite strong. Although Wu Mei did not wear a grand court dress, the so-called casual clothes worn by the queen, including a half-arm large-sleeved shirt, a floor-length skirt, and a headdress on her bun, were also extremely solemn. Li Hong was struggling in his arms, and now his chest was half exposed, his hair was slightly messy, his face was red, and he was slightly out of breath.
"Come here, please hold this little thing down for me. I want to see what you, Li Hong, have done and hid from your mother." Wu Mei grabbed Li Hong's little hand in a panic and said breathlessly. .
Suddenly, several palace maids came up from both sides. Although they did not dare to hold down the king with any force, they still had several white and slender hands that quickly surrounded Li Hong's entire body.
At this time, no matter how hard he twisted to get away, it was of no avail. Li Hong did not dare to scream like a wolf, for fear of being punished even more severely by Wu Mei.
Li Xian, who was being held by the palace maid, was looking excited at the moment, waving his little hands vigorously, looking at his imperial brother with wide eyes, being pinned to the carpet and unable to move.
Wu Mei found it difficult to untie the outer robe. She couldn't help but reached out and slapped Li Hong on the buttocks and said with a smile: "You stupid monkey, you are so strong when you are less than four years old. You can still do it when you grow up. Hmm...? What is this?"
Wu Mei slapped Li Hong's butt, as if it was blocked by something thick, and she obviously felt that her gentle slap did not hit Li Hong's butt.
Suspicious, he immediately wanted to find out what was going on. At this time, Li Hong also resisted even more fiercely. The maids holding him down were also disheveled at this time, their youth was exposed, and the white flowers on their chests were very eye-catching.
In the end, Li Hong resisted the claws of several seductresses, and Wu Mei took his pants and turned them over. He saw a thick cloth pad sewn on the buttocks on the inside of the pants.
Wu Mei's sweaty forehead suddenly became black lines again. This little guy seemed to have been prepared for a long time. No wonder every time I caught him and spanked him to punish him, he would run away with a smile on his face. Far away, it turns out that there is this cloth pad for protection.
"Pa" slap, this time it hit Li Hong's butt firmly. Li Hong suddenly let out a scream. Although it was not very painful, a big man's buttocks were bare and being held down by several women. , this is simply a shame for men.
Wu Mei quickly looked through her pants with both hands and found two thick cloth pads at her knees. Needless to say, they were used to avoid her punishment by kneeling down. This little guy was quite thoughtful.
While Wu Mei was flipping through the pages, she recalled how she punished Li Hong by kneeling down every time. After each punishment, he didn't see sore knees or difficulty standing up like other princes. Every time after the penalty, he stood up and ran quickly, looking as if he had never knelt before. Well, it turned out that he had been prepared for it.
The only piece of clothing on her upper body was also taken off. Wu Mei was like an ordinary mother packing up her child's clothes. She picked up the top and shook out the non-existent dust a few times. She only heard the sound coming from the sleeve pocket of the clothes. A few small pieces of wood fell out.
Frowning in confusion, Wu Mei watched as the palace maid hurriedly picked it up and put it in her hand. Wu Mei picked up a small wooden block and examined it carefully. She saw that there seemed to be "characters" engraved on the small wooden block.
Wu Mei asked the palace maid to help Li Hong put on his clothes. It was still a bit cool in the morning after the rain, but don't let the little thing get sick.
Then Wu Mei took the small wooden block and looked at the "characters" on it carefully. She frowned and looked at it for a long time. She didn't know whether the words engraved on it were actually characters, so she unconsciously followed the words on the wooden block with one hand in the air. The strokes are painted.
"Virtue?" Wu Mei muttered softly. The words were backwards and seemed to have been stained by ink. There was black ink remaining on the side where the words were engraved.
Wu Mei looked at it again, and this time it was easier to recognize. She saw the word "husband" written backwards on it. She changed it to another one, and it was clear that the word "行" was written backwards on it.
"What is this?" Wu Mei asked, looking at the neatly dressed Li Hong.
"Oh, it's not a novelty. It was just for fun when I was bored." Li Hong said nonchalantly, and walked to Wu Mei to take it away and put it away.
"Did you carve it?" Wu Mei asked suspiciously.
The wood of this small piece of wood looks very hard. How could he, a child over three years old, have so much strength to carve words on it? There must be something hidden in it.
"Xia Zhi, what is this? Tell me the truth." Wu Mei's pretty face was frosty. When facing the palace maid, the expression on her face was not as gentle as when facing Li Hong. The queen's majesty was fully reflected.
Poof, Xia Zhi was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and shivered again. She glanced at Dai Wang secretly from time to time, but didn't know what to say.
"Tell me, what is this for? Who carved it?" Wu Mei's voice turned cold.
"Queen, the king ordered the slave to have someone carve it in the general's prison." Xia Zhi said tremblingly.
"What's the use of carving it?" Wu Mei continued to ask coldly, her intuition telling her that this small wooden cube was definitely not simple.
"Mother, don't embarrass her. It's my fault. I will kneel down at the door as punishment." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Li Hong said in frustration because he was afraid that his mother would punish Xia Zhi.
"Explain it to me clearly first, and then go to the door and kneel down." Wu Mei put a few small wooden cubes on the table and said.
"Uh... how should I put it? This is what I used to copy the "Book of Commandments"." Li Hong lowered his head and said.
"The Book of Commandments? How to use it?" Wu Mei pressed forward step by step, without giving Li Hong a chance to breathe, and asked quickly.
"A few days ago, Shangguan Yi punished his son to copy the "Book of Commandments" a hundred times. He was afraid that he would not be able to complete it within the specified date, so... he used this." Li Hong said hesitantly.
"Zhuge Kongming's "Book of Commandments" has a total of 86 words. How can you copy it with such a few small pieces of wood?" Wu Mei is obviously not only an expert in palace fighting who only knows the art of tactics, but also is quite familiar with some famous works. .
Li Hong looked distressed and hesitated as if scratching his head: "These were worn out a few days ago, and then I found someone to engrave them again. Add the others and you can copy them."
"How to copy?" Wu Mei's face was livid. This little monkey must have been cheating. No wonder Li Zhi had been praising her in front of her a few days ago that the little guy has been studying hard now. What did Shangguan Yi say about "Jie Zi" "Book", "Thousand Character Essay", etc., Li Hong was able to copy them down with neat handwriting. Now it seems that this skinny monkey has deceived everyone again!
Li Hong sighed in his heart, it's over, there is no way to escape today's bad luck. The penalty of kneeling is a penalty, but he doesn't know how long his mother will let him kneel. What time has it been? Why doesn't the father go to court? Hurry up and save him. Save your son... .
Li Hong walked up to Wu Mei obediently, picked up the small pieces of wood, turned the side with the writing on them upward, and then arranged them neatly on the table. He then motioned to Xia Zhi to get ink and a piece of cloth.
Then, under Wu Mei's surveillance gaze, Li Hong picked up a cloth and gently dipped the ink into the inkstone. He secretly glanced at Wu Mei, whose expression was gradually softening, sighed again, and stepped on the steps resignedly. The ink is spread evenly on the small pieces of wood.
"alright."
"Is this good?" Wu Mei understood somewhat and signaled the palace maid to bring a piece of paper and hand it to Li Hong.
With a sad face, Li Hong picked up the paper and spread it gently on the small piece of wood. He gently spread the white paper evenly with his hand, and then took the white paper off the small piece of wood.
I saw the words neatly written on the empty white paper: "Husband, virtue, conduct, sorrow and other words."
Li Hong handed it to Wu Mei and said, "That's it. No matter what the teacher asks me to copy, as long as I arrange the different characters in order. Oh..." Li Hong looked at Wu Mei and seemed to understand, and further explained: "For example, copying the "Jie Zi Shu": 'A gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's character through tranquility and cultivate one's virtue through frugality. I picked out the wooden blocks of these words and arranged them, then repeated the action just now, and the copy was completed. ”
"Go out and kneel down for me." Wu Meiyu pointed to the door with trembling hands, gritted her silver teeth and said with a headache!
"oh."
