I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 7 Persimmons must be picked softly

"Father asked his grandson: what's wrong?"

"The grandson said: if the merits and demerits are offset, the merit should not be rewarded, and the demerits should not be punished;"

"But Zhidu's merits, the emperor's grandmother has already rewarded him, and Zhidu's faults, father should be punished."

"Father asked again: How should I be punished?"

Half an hour later, Changle Palace, Changxin Side Hall.

He was happily talking about what happened in Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace just a moment ago, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile shyly, and gently massaged the hand of Empress Dou's eye point, but didn't stop for a moment.

"The grandson went back to his father: the grandson didn't know how to punish this dereliction of duty, but the grandson punched him all the time, and he was punished by the emperor's grandmother for thirty days and closed doors for three days."

"Then my father ordered that Zhidu be fined for half a year's salary, plus three months of contemplation behind closed doors..."

Feeling the numbness and itching from the acupuncture points around the eyes, Empress Dowager Dou suddenly felt that the pain around the eye sockets seemed to be relieved a lot;

Listening to Liu Sheng talking about what happened in Weiyang Palace just now, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but put on a faint smile.

"Okay~"

"There are merits and demerits, Changle rewards their merits, Weiyang punishes their demerits."

"Very good."

With a relaxed expression, Empress Dowager Dou finally enjoyed Liu Sheng's set of eye exercises, so she turned sideways with a kind smile and raised her head to look at Liu Sheng.

"Now, the big revenge has to be avenged?"

"In the future, I should be able to spare the two thousand stones in the middle of the court, so that I won't let him turn upside down with blue eyes?"

Feeling the deep affection in his grandmother's tone, Liu Shenghan scratched his head with a smile, and gave another light 'um'.

But after a while, Liu Sheng frowned quietly, as if he was still not satisfied with the result.

Seeing Liu Sheng's thoughts, Mrs. Dou straightened her face slightly, pretending to be angry and patted Liu Sheng's buttocks lightly.

"Punishing half a year's salary, and thinking behind closed doors for three months, even for ordinary courtiers, it is already considered a severe punishment!"

"In the future, we must not cling to this matter any longer, huh?"

"obedient."

Following Empress Dou's gentle and loving voice of persuasion, Liu Sheng's frown was also untied in response, but there was still a hint of unwillingness between his brows.

"Half a year's salary is only a few hundred stones of corn, and a salary of tens of thousands of dollars;"

"As for thinking about mistakes behind closed doors, it's clear that the father couldn't bear it, and made that servant of Zhidu look up with green eyes..."

"What's this called?!"

Before Liu Sheng murmured to express the depression in his heart, he saw Empress Dou's face turned serious, and she looked at Liu Sheng with a touch of earnestness and sincerity in her eyes.

"——As far as Sangong and Jiuqing are concerned, fines are really harmless."

"But Zhidu, it's not Jiuqing~"

"The salary of the capital of Punishment is to be recorded in the official status~"

"Within three to five years, if there is a foundation of 'penalty salary', Zhidu will never even think about promotion!"

"If you think about your mistakes behind closed doors, if it takes three or five days, then that's fine; if you close your doors for three months, you will have a 'big mistake'. Not only do you have to reflect on it, but you have to confess your guilt afterwards."

Speaking earnestly, Empress Dowager Dou finally let out a soft sigh, and immediately looked up at Liu Sheng sincerely.

"Such a heavy punishment, isn't it enough?"

Seeing that his grandmother was serious, Liu Sheng only grinned in haste as if he had surrendered, and knelt down with a smile, but he didn't put his butt on his heels.

"What the imperial grandmother taught is~"

"You have to forgive others and forgive others."

"This matter, grandson listens to the emperor's grandmother and doesn't care about it."

"really?"

She asked subconsciously, and when Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, Empress Dowager Dou took a deep breath, and the previous kindness slowly returned to that face full of traces of time.

After a while, Liu Sheng was found kneeling beside him, but did not sit down. Empress Dowager Dou lowered her head sideways with distressed eyes, looking towards Liu Sheng's back.

"After being hit by a board, do you remember hating the emperor's grandmother?"

But when Liu Sheng heard the words, he subconsciously shook his head;

After a while, the thief rolled his eyes again!
"Remember the grudge~"

"Grandson really thought about it!"

"It's just that the more grandson thinks about it, the more he feels that this thin-armed and thin-legged man, even if he hates the emperor's grandmother, there is no hope of revenge for life..."

As he said that, Liu Sheng did not forget to put on an expression of 'extreme regret', and let out a breath pretending to be free and easy.

"So the grandson simply took it out and vented his anger!"

"This old saying is good: Persimmons, you have to pick the soft ones~"

"Hey hey, hey hey..."

Seeing Liu Sheng talking and laughing without any scruples in front of her, Empress Dowager Dou was feigning anger, but her brows were full of love for her grandchildren.

As if to slap Liu Sheng hard on the buttocks, Liu Sheng hastily covered his back with both hands, Queen Mother Dou stretched out her hand again, fumbled to grab a whole orange, and stuffed it into Liu Sheng's mouth.

After Liu Sheng spat out the orange with a playful face, then lowered his head to peel off the orange peel, and handed one of the petals to his mouth naturally, Empress Dowager Dou finally shook her head with a wry smile.

"In terms of 'revenge must be done', the two of you, father and son, really live up to the phrase 'a tiger father has no dog son'..."

With a smile on his face, he moved his head forward a little, and took the citrus handed out by Liu Sheng. Empress Dowager Dou's face was filled with a touch of sweetness far superior to the citrus.

"Hey, Grandmother, are these oranges not bad?"

"The tangerines from the Huainan Kingdom are said to be the sweetest oranges of the year."

"Yeah~ delicious! I have to take some back and give it to my concubine to taste."

"Take it with you, don't forget to bring something to eat!"

"It's better to move this Changle Palace, and let Jia Ji eat all of it!"

"Hey hey, hey hey..."

"My mother and concubine are simple and honest, I don't know how to ask for rewards from my father, I can't eat these on weekdays..."

Seeing Liu Sheng laughing, not forgetting to stuff his mouth with tangerines, his cheeks puffed up after eating, the eyes of Empress Dowager Dou looking at Liu Sheng only became softer and more gentle.

The grandparents and grandchildren just joked with you and me with each other, joking and laughing, without blinking an eye, the clock of Xushi rang in the palace.

Almost the second after the bell rang, Liu Sheng hurriedly stood up from Queen Dowager Dou, stuffing the citrus on the case into his arms while not forgetting to say goodbye to Queen Mother Dou.

"It's time for the grandson to go back. If it's later, the palace ban will be missed."

"Grandmother, please rest for a while. When the sun breaks tomorrow, grandson will come and press the eyes of Grandmother."

Seeing Liu Sheng majesticly stuffing the large plate of citrus into his bosom one by one like a bandit, Empress Dowager Dou was not angry at all, she just nodded her head benevolently.

Waiting for Liu Sheng to escape, clutching his chest, and ran towards the palace gate, Empress Dowager Dou just stood up with a warm smile, not forgetting to whisper softly.

"Slow down, don't fall~"

"This child..."
