Queen Sun

Chapter 19 Ma Zhou

Few people know that in a remote corner of the Lizheng Palace, there is a remote small courtyard.It is said to be small, but it is actually not small, but if compared with Shanshui Pool and Sihai Pool, it is really small.But Ruoshui likes this place very much. Walking in from the moss-covered stone road, you can't see the craftsmanship of the palace garden, lush pines and cypresses, apricot trees that are about to bloom, and low spring jasmine. The days of Biezhuang.Sitting casually under a tree, closing your eyes, it's like a fairyland.

Until she vaguely heard footsteps approaching, she sighed, it really is that good dreams don't always come.

"Miss, you forgot to put on another coat, or you will get sick again later." Guangyue walked to Ruoshui, knelt down and said.

Ruoshui opened his eyes, smiled wryly and said, "The weather is so warm today, how can I catch a cold."

Guangyue replied disapprovingly: "Not to mention that Miss's body is a little weaker than ordinary people, the weather in this early spring is the most uncertain, it was still cold a few days ago."

"Yes, yes, it's hardest to breathe in a place where it's warm and cold." Ruoshui took the cloak and was about to put it on, when he heard someone coming from the front, looked up, and frowned slightly.

Dan Yun walked in behind the emperor with a troubled expression on his face.

Guangyue got up quickly, and after paying her respects, she stood in front of Ruoshui to prevent the emperor from approaching.For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere was extremely awkward.

After a stalemate for a while, Li Shimin was not annoyed, he just raised his hand and said to Ruoshui, "I'll bring you the letter from Chengqian."

Ruoshui listened to the emperor's flattering tone, and after a long while, said softly, "Guangyue, Danyun, you go back first."

Seeing that the two nodded reluctantly, Guangyue whispered to Ruoshui: "Miss, you should be careful."

Ruoshui couldn't help laughing, and when there were only the two of them left in the courtyard, the emperor said rather annoyedly: "They now treat me like a tiger and wolf to guard against."

Ruoshui didn't say anything, just looked at him sideways.After that night, this seemed to be the first time Li Shimin appeared in front of him, but when he heard that he was asleep, this person also stayed by the bed and refused to leave.

Li Shimin saw that Ruoshui had no fear or anger, so he walked carefully to her side, half-kneeled, stared at his wife for a long time before handing her the letter: "Ruoshui, are you feeling better?"

In fact, there was no big deal at first, Ruoshui thought to himself, it just made the emperor and empress lose face.After taking the letter, Ruoshui seemed to respond, and read it.

Immediately, the emperor also sat on the side, only silently looking at his wife's side face, suddenly, she seemed to see something funny, and laughed out loud.

Although looking at the letter, Ruoshui naturally couldn't ignore the clingy gaze on the side.In fact, Ruoshui didn't remember much about what happened that night. Although he was not a human being, after all, the eldest grandson had given birth to three children. What's more, he later found out that the emperor's actions did not hurt him. The reason why he suddenly fell into a coma is probably because of the eldest grandson himself. What Ruoshui can remember so far is the kind of rejection and struggle from the heart.

"Did Chengqian say something funny?" Li Shimin asked tentatively.

Ruoshui turned his face and said with a smile: "Chengqian said that he found a very interesting Taifu for himself. When he was paying homage to the master, he drank a few glasses for the first time, and then passed out drunk at the teacher's house."

"What nonsense, how can he drink at such a young age! Wei Zheng is hiding it from me." Li Shimin's face darkened, and he was about to stand up.

When Ruoshui saw this, he didn't think so, but he still grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said softly: "The child is old, so he will naturally let him go out for a while. Compared with Cheng Qian, the second brother was a child, I don't know how much more out of line. Nevermind?"

Li Shimin was stunned, sat down again, and smiled helplessly: "It's really a loving mother who loses her son. After all, I was not the crown prince at that time. He is alone now. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to the people of the world?"

When Ruoshui heard this, he felt displeased for a while, and said: "What does my son matter to the world? Besides, your Majesty has many sons, why is Chengqian missing?"

Li Shimin saw that Ruoshui was a little more childish today, so he gently hugged him: "What you said, but Qingque was also included. Of course I know that you are doing it for the sake of success. He stays here all day long. Naturally, you can't be successful in this palace, but outside, if you meet some villains, you won't be the one who feels sorry for you in the end?"

After speaking, he saw that his wife was not struggling, so he hugged her and sat on his lap.

Ruoshui raised his head and squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "Children are not kites, they are young eagles on the cliff, and one day they will fly high and leave their parents. Second brother, how I wish they were not princes or princesses, But just ordinary people's children."

After a moment of silence, Ruoshui heard the response in his ear: "Ordinary people also have difficulties with ordinary people, don't they?"

Ruoshui lowered his head, fiddled with the fingers around his waist, and suddenly raised his voice: "By the way, second brother, do you know who the teacher Cheng Qian is looking for?" He is really a famous figure in Tang history.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Don't say anything else, just mention getting Cheng Qian drunk, and I won't spare him."

Ruoshui squeezed the emperor's arm and raised his voice: "It's a man named Ma Zhou. Although he is only a commoner now, according to Cheng Qian, he is very talented, not bad for Wei Zheng."

"Your son is still young, do you believe everything he says?" Li Shimin said leisurely, and suddenly, Ruoshui felt his waist tighten, "Wait, the person Chengqian is looking for is Ma Zhou?"

Ruoshui nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Is it the guest of the Zhonglang General Chang He's family?"

"Chengqian seems to have mentioned it." Ruoshui was very surprised by the emperor's attitude.

Li Shimin leaned his chin on Ruoshui's shoulder: "This time, our son really found a treasure."

"Oh? Didn't the second brother just say that he would punish him?" Ruoshui certainly knew that Ma Zhou was a rare talent, but he didn't know how he became an official.

"A few days ago, I asked civil and military officials to write a letter to speak out about the gains and losses of political affairs. Among them, the more than twenty rules written by Chang He were the most suitable for me. With such great knowledge, after careful questioning, I found out that it was written by a person named Ma Zhou under him. Naturally, I can't let this kind of genius go, but this person seems to be a bit lazy and arrogant, so I sent people to remind me four times , and he does not want to be an official in Beijing. However, since he has already agreed to accept the crown prince as a student, it is natural for him to shirk this time."

Ruoshui smiled slightly: "Chengqian must have not told Ma Zhou his identity, otherwise how could he agree to accept this student."

"Yes, unexpectedly, our son is really better than blue." The emperor showed a rather proud look on his face.

The warm sunshine quietly shone on the two people who were embracing each other. Just when Ruoshui felt sleepy, she suddenly thought of something: "By the way, what is Qingque doing recently? Why can't I see you?" His shadow?"

Li Shimin laughed out loud: "At the beginning of the month, I set up a history museum under the forbidden gate of the palace, and began to compile national history and history books of past dynasties. Fang Xuanling is the supervisor I appointed, and Qingque's favorite is Those historical books stayed there all day long, and even entangled Xuanling."

"Then let Mr. Fang be Qingque's teacher, wouldn't it be good?" Ruoshui was drowsy.

"Yes, I originally wanted Xuanling to be the prince's young teacher, but since Chengqian has already worshiped Ma Zhou as his teacher, then forget it."

After speaking, the emperor looked at his wife in his arms, who was already asleep.

In the afternoon of spring, with the breeze blowing, the fragrance of grass buds, the fragrance of flower buds, a peace and tranquility that cannot be broken.
