Li Er's handsome face suddenly froze. He looked at the youngest legitimate daughter in his arms who was holding on to his beautiful beard. He was full of love and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why did Si Zi say that?"
The little girl had a pink face and big, round eyes and blinked. She said cutely: "Sister Seventeen must have someone she likes, so she doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't like." Brother Fang, if my father insists on marrying Sister Seventeen, she will definitely be very sad. Si Zi has no one he likes, so it doesn’t matter who Si Zi marries..."
Princess Gaoyang was embarrassed: "Sizi is talking nonsense, how can my sister...how can she like anyone..."
His Majesty Li Er looked shocked and looked at his five-year-old daughter: "Who told you this?"
It is impossible for a five-year-old child to understand this. Obviously, someone was mumbling something in front of Si Zi. Maybe he did not intend to guide Si Zi, but such disrespectful things were said in the forbidden palace. The sin is unforgivable!
Si Zi looked innocent: "No one told Si Zi, I just thought of it when I was watching "Waking Girl" a few days ago..."
"Waking Mother" is a folk song and dance drama that was popular at this time. "There was a man named Su in the Northern Qi Dynasty who was not an official, but called himself a doctor. He was addicted to drinking and drinking, and beat his wife every time he was drunk. His wife complained about her grief to her neighbors. People at that time Do it. The husband, dressed in women's clothes, slowly walks into the arena and sings. At each fold, others sing in unison, saying, "Come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on, come on!" Because he steps forward and sings, it is called It's called 'Tao Yao'; it's called injustice, so it's bitter. When the husband arrives, he makes a fight appearance, thinking it's a laugh."
What does that mean?
That is to say, there is a man named Su who is ugly, has no official position, and no money, but he is good at bragging and drinking. What happens when he gets drunk? Just go home and beat your wife. His wife was a beautiful woman who was good at singing and dancing, so he had no choice but to express his sorrow and resentment through singing and dancing.
The performance is roughly as follows:
A male actor dressed in women's clothes, imitated the way a woman walked, and slowly walked into the venue with a waddle, singing as he walked, introducing his experiences and expressing his feelings. After each short verse, the audience echoed in unison: "Ta Yao, He Lai, Ta Yao Niang Ku, He Lai!"
Probably because he was singing while swaying, everyone called the actor's figure "swaying"; and because the woman in the work repeatedly cried out her misfortune with tears in her eyes, everyone used the word "bitter" and "suffering". The word "and" is used to express sympathy for her. At this time, the rogue man named Su should appear. What follows is the beating and being beaten, chasing and being chased, and shouting and crying between the couple. During this period, the audience's emotions were naturally affected. Get mobilized.
"Waking Girl" was not only very popular among the people, but the palace would occasionally invite opera troupes to perform a few performances.
Li Er was a little helpless, his daughter was really a little kid.
He said with a straight face: "Those operas are just boring stuff, just don't watch it. Besides, how do you not know that this is an important place where my father handles government affairs? You are not allowed to trespass, and trespassers will be punished?" "
He fully expected to scare the youngest daughter-in-law and let her know his mistake, but the little girl was not afraid at all.
Si Zi blinked his big, watery eyes, first glanced at Princess Gao Yang secretly, and then said to Li Er: "A girl is fifteen and has hairpins, but her body has not grown yet. There are many cases of dystocia. If parents are considerate, You should wait until a woman reaches adulthood and her body... body..."
At this point, he couldn't go on. His big black eyes were full of eagerness and he kept stealing glances at Princess Gaoyang who was standing aside.
When Princess Gaoyang saw Si Zi's expression, her face suddenly became full of black lines, and she sighed secretly: Little Si Zi, why are you always looking at me? It's over now...
Li Er was originally shocked that at such a young age, Si Zi actually understood what the body was not yet fully grown and what was difficult for childbirth. But when Si Zi started talking intermittently and kept stealing glances at Gao Yang, what else could he not understand?
Gao Yang must have colluded with Si Zi in advance, and the two daughters relied on their love to dissuade them from marrying Gao Yang to Fang Yiai.
But although Sizi was smart, he was still young and did not understand vocabulary such as dystocia, hairpins, and body, so he did not remember it firmly and actually forgot the words for a while.
Being almost deceived by two little girls, His Majesty Li Er was not angry, just a little bit amused.
His Majesty Li Er dotingly wiped the sweat from Si Zi's face due to anxiety, and said warmly: "How could your father not know your sister's thoughts? But Jun Wuxi said, how can you break your trust if your father says it himself? The world? If this happens, not only will my father's reputation be damaged, but also how will your uncle Fang deal with himself?"
At this point, Li Er finally felt a little bit regretful about the marriage, but he would never break his promise.
Si Zi was indeed smart. His big eyes rolled around and he said, "If the Fang family brother cancels the marriage himself, wouldn't it be fine?"
Li Er smiled bitterly: "That is rebellion and disrespect. It is a very serious crime. Even if he is not beheaded, he will probably be exiled to the army."
Sizi was so anxious that he almost cried: "This won't work, that won't work either. Does my sister have to marry the Fang family brother?"
Gao Yang on the side was biting her lip, her face was pale. When she thought about having to live with that dirt-legged warrior for the rest of her life, she even wanted to die...
This is His Majesty Li Er looking at the boy standing neatly in the palace and asking: "Zhinu, are you going to deceive your father with the Seventeenth Sister?"
The boy was shocked and said in a serious tone: "No, it's not like that... How dare a child deceive his father? It's just... it's just... after all, the elder sister and the younger sister are girls, and the child slaves are men. If the father is angry and wants to punish him, he will Please punish the child slave..."
As he said this, his little eyes were full of panic, for fear that his father would really say something like "Pull out the spine stick for thirty" in anger. Five Li You were beaten a few days ago. Dun, I am still lying on the bed, not even daring to turn over...
His Majesty Li Er shook his head, looked at Si Zi, at Gao Yang who looked aggrieved, and then at Li Zhi who was full of loyalty but was actually scared to death, his heart felt slightly warm.
Tian family lacks family affection!
The scenes of ordinary people with loving fathers and filial sons, respectful brothers and sisters, and deep love between sisters are what His Majesty Li Er longs for most in his life.
However, in order to protect himself and the throne, he personally killed the family relationship between father, son, and brother, and his desire turned into a luxury that he would never get again in this life.
Therefore, he placed his extravagant hopes on the next generation, hoping that his children could help and love each other.
The older ones really disappointed him.
They were fighting openly and secretly for the throne, constantly trying to undermine each other, and there was no bottom line between them.
His Majesty Li Er often wakes up from his nightmares in the middle of the night with horror. The changes in the Xuanwu Gate that year happened again among his sons...
He will never let this happen!
Fortunately, perhaps because there is no temptation of the throne, the younger princes and princesses are really friendly to each other.
Especially this old Jiu Li Zhi.
Compared with his wise and wise royal brothers, Li Zhi is really not good enough. I have a soft temper, I can't make up my mind when things happen, and I don't have a strong character...
But he has one good thing, that is, he cares about family ties and can be friendly, selfless and sincere regardless of his age.
His Majesty Li Er's mind leaps forward, perhaps...
