Before the wedding leave was over, Li Luansong was urged by Shen Que to go to court.
This move won the praise of many veterans:
"Your Majesty seems to have become more diligent after his wedding."
"I heard it was the Queen who forced me to do this." Someone whispered, "I heard that Your Majesty failed to satisfy the Queen."
"Oh, is that so? Tsk, tsk, tsk, looking at the tall man, why..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The queen is not wanting to give birth to a prince. I heard that she has been so busy recently that she is away from the palace every day."
…
All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are different opinions.
But one thing is certain, the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers has never been more harmonious, peaceful, and harmonious.
Li Luansong was able to deploy the matters reported by the veterans in detail one by one, and the ideas he proposed were supported by many veterans. For example, for the sake of his two sisters, Shen Silanglan and Zhang Guanhua, Li Luansong proposed that his two brothers-in-law be included in the key inspection targets. .
Needless to say, the seventh prince Li Luanxi has been Li Luansong's right-hand man since the Zheng Huan case. After years of training, he has become a leading figure among military generals. Moreover, his marriage to Shen Silan has been approved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and the two families are busy making appointments to give out the betrothal gift.
As for the person chosen by Zhang Guanhua, he won the third prize in the imperial examination. Both Li Luansong and Shen Que had read his articles. In Shen Que's words: "The literary talent is outstanding but not gorgeous and empty. His words are meaningful, which shows that he understands the people's sentiments and has compassion in his heart." He has compassion for heaven and earth, every word is sonorous and powerful, and every sentence is true. He is a man of action, a rare talent."
Ma Tanhua was successfully promoted in the end. Regarding the relationship between Zhang Guanhua and Shen Que, she was very calm and took the initiative to apply to start from the grassroots level. She was willing to go deep into the people and understand the public sentiment. This was also praised by Li Luansong and other veterans. .
After the court came down that day, Li Luansong went to pay his respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. The two old men were playing with Liu Zi in the Imperial Garden. One held cakes in his hand and chased them into the child's mouth, while the other simply lay down on the grass and acted as a horse for his granddaughter. Riding, the three of them had so much fun that they didn't even see Li Luansong.
It wasn't until he coughed twice that Liu Zi saw him. He quickly got off Grandpa Huang, walked respectfully to Li Luansong, and saluted: "Father."
Now Liu Zi speaks very fluently, and the little person behaves politely.
Li Luansong first saluted his father, the emperor and his mother, and then looked at her, "What did you just do?"
Xiao Liuzi said nothing, knowing that he was at fault, and raised his eyelids to look at Emperor Xiaochun.
"Sit down." Emperor Xiaochun couldn't bear to see his granddaughter being wronged for a moment, "Liu Zi, come here, come to Grandpa Huang."
The image of a strict father did not stand up, so Li Luansong had no choice but to sit down.
After reporting several recent political affairs to Emperor Xiaochun and asking for advice on some methods, Li Luansong found that his old father's answers were inconsistent and he was completely absent-minded.
Keeping his eyes on Liu Zi, he said that Wala seemed to be a little bit agitated again. He grinned till the back of his ears, because Liu Zi took another big bite of pastries, and his little mouth was bulging.
Li Luansong had no choice but to look at his mother again. The table was filled with all kinds of sweets: cakes, fruits, candies, as well as various pastries, milk, and cheese.
"Mother, Liu Zi is still young and cannot eat too many sweets." Li Luansong reminded.
Liu Zi hurriedly hid in Emperor Xiaochun's arms and looked at her father eagerly.
The Queen Mother said: "No, I didn't eat it. You see, these are all for me to eat, not for her."
What a lie. He just watched her secretly feed her several mouthfuls.
"Liu Zi, my mother said not to eat too many sweets, do you remember?"
If the adult doesn't understand, just tell the baby. Li Luansong looked at Liu Zi.
Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "Father, my daughter remembers."
Well, it was a good promise, but it was all talk and no action.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go and see your wife." Emperor Xiaochun began to chase people away, and Li Luansong had no choice but to stand up and retreat.
It was like this every day. If he couldn't say a few words or sit down with a cup of tea, the old man would definitely kick him away and continue to enjoy family happiness with his little granddaughter.
Shen was indeed not in the palace, so the palace maid said, "Your Majesty has left the palace. She said she wanted to take a look at the shop."
Li Luansong nodded, changed into regular clothes and left the palace quickly.
Shen Que now only comes to the shop every few days to take a look, and he does not need to inquire about the incoming and outgoing goods or check the accounts as before. Shen Silan does all these things for him, and he does a good job.
"The woad is getting better and better, and I see that these products are very popular." The two sisters chatted while walking, and Shen Zhen expressed his sincere appreciation. "My father also said that with you, he is completely happy."
Shen Silan held Shen Que's arm: "Sister, actually I know my life experience. Before the Chinese New Year, my father asked me to go to the prison, and I saw the Liu family. My father said that she is my mother after all, and now She will never come out in this life, I should go and see.
But sister, I don’t want to look at her. It's not because of her current status, but I think she feels sorry for her father and sister. I am not my father's child, right, but my father is so kind to me, and my sister is also so kind to me. I feel very guilty, and I want to repay my father and sister. "
Shen Que smiled and said, "Okay, then how are you going to repay me?"
Shen Silan was stunned, and Shen Que patted her hand and said, "Thanks to you for taking care of the family, the business, and dad during the days when my sister was not at home. We are a family and we will always be a family. One family does not talk to each other. You, my sister has been taking care of some business matters for you recently. Please take the time to have a good rest and prepare to get married."
The two sisters laughed and laughed all the way.
Seeing Li Luansong, Shen Silan made a face and said, "Brother-in-law is here, I can no longer dominate Sister."
"Little sister, walk slowly." Li Luansong took great advantage of this "brother-in-law", "Soto has recently sent a tribute of fine brocade. It is very gorgeous. I will ask Lao Qi to bring it to you later."
Shen Que rolled his eyes and looked at him: "bribe my sister-in-law."
Li Luansong smiled and said, "How else would I know you are here."
As he said that, he put his arm around her shoulders and began to report one by one. The officials who had been promoted in the government affairs were all pretty good, especially the two brothers-in-law-to-be. Everyone agreed that the senior ministers had been very kind to him recently...
After talking a lot, Shen Que raised his hand and interrupted: "Your Majesty, you don't need to tell me this kind of thing. You can make up your own mind."
Li Luansong said that was not possible, "I swore that I would report everything to Yuanyuan. Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say..."
Shen did have a big head and listened patiently to what he had to say.
Li Luansong then looked at her seriously, "There is one thing that I found to be very serious, and Yuanyuan needs to intervene."
Shen Que was startled: "What's the matter?"
Li Luansong firmly reported the situation to the Emperor, the Queen Mother and Li Liuzi.
"They really dote on Liu Zi too much. I think we should find a teacher for our daughter." Li Luansong suggested.
"Ah." Shen Que was surprised, "She is only two years old, and she is looking for a teacher? What should she learn?"
Li Luansong said: "You can learn so much, just learn how to read."
"Then what." Shen Que asked.
Li Luansong thought for a while, "It seems that I can't learn anything except reading."
Shen Que laughed: "It's too early to learn to read. Does Your Majesty want Liu Zi to take the first prize in the future? What should he learn so early? Let him play with his grandfather and grandmother. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will teach Liu Zi Routine things, such as eating, dressing, combing hair, bathing, even washing handkerchiefs, growing vegetables..."
Li Luansong looked at her: "Did Xiao Yuyu do all of this?"
Shen Que said yes, "I already learned how to make snacks when I was three years old."
Therefore, the happiness of children is the most important thing. Keep knowledge and culture and learn them slowly. They are things that can be learned for a lifetime.
The two boarded the car and returned to the palace. Li Luansong was still reporting nonchalantly. He would soon make a small courtyard for Shen Que to use as a study room so that she could read the accounts and put the account books. Later, he asked her if she wanted to see Fan Bang when he came to court. If she didn't want to see her, she would just go there. ; One moment he was talking about the wedding of his two younger sisters; the other moment he was making arrangements to give Li Le a gift for his newly born child...
Shen Que listened carefully to everything, focusing entirely on answering and discussing things, without paying any attention to his dishonest hands. By the time he realized what he was doing, Li Luansong had already untied his clothes. .
"Your Majesty." Shen Que exclaimed, "This is on a carriage."
"I didn't do anything. I just tried to see if my hand was pregnant. After all, these days..."
Oh, Shen Que has come to Guishui in the past few days, but he can only stay for three to five days.
Shen Que: ...It would be great if this Guishui could come for a month...
However, the harmonious atmosphere in the court did not last long, and the old ministers began to make arrangements for His Majesty to enrich the harem.
In fact, they had been holding it in for a long time. They always felt that they were just getting married, which gave the young couple a few months of their own world. After two months of looking forward to it, they really couldn't wait any longer.
"Your Majesty, in matters concerning the country, heirs are the most important thing. Your Majesty's harem is really too empty."
"Yes, your Majesty is now diligent and caring for the people, so he cannot neglect to spread his branches and leaves."
"Look at the ancestors and emperors, which one is not the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard? Your Majesty is already behind at such an age."
"Your Majesty doesn't have a prince yet, so we can't delay this matter any longer."
…
"don't want."
Li Luansong refused.
"Why?" The veterans were puzzled, "Is it because the Queen is jealous?"
He doesn’t look like him, but he’s a pretty good guy.
"It has nothing to do with the queen, it's because I don't want to." Li Luansong said, "Isn't it right that this has always been the case? The rules are not irreversible. I think it is better to be together for the rest of my life."
Is it possible that His Majesty really...can't do it?
The veterans were shocked, no, what should I do?
So, regardless of whether it was true or not, they decided to use the old trick and lift their robes together in the court hall, which would make them unable to kneel again.
Li Luansong was also experienced in fighting. Before their knees even touched the floor, he dodged and left first.
Veterans: Then who are you kneeling for? Just like last time, I knelt at the city gate for several hours. My knees hurt just thinking about it, so let’s forget it.
Think long term, think long term...
