Queen Sun

Chapter 7 Taoyuan

Ruoshui was prepared before meeting her eldest grandson's three children, but because she knew too little about the past, and she had no experience of falling in love, getting married, or having children, she finally decided not to blindly imitate her eldest grandson. , might as well try to get the child to accept a slightly changed mother.Anyway, the eldest grandson didn't have much contact with children in the past, and this is where I feel strange. She can take good care of Princess Yuzhang who lost her biological mother since childhood, so why is she so unfamiliar with her child born in October?
When Chengqian, Li Tai, and Princess Changle Li Mingyao all appeared in front of Ruoshui, she felt that her previous concerns seemed unnecessary.At this time, the famous deposed prince in history is just a naughty child with a bit awkward temper and likes to play tricks, and the big fat Wei Wang who lost to his uncle and younger brother in the battle for the throne is still an introverted, Silent, somewhat eccentric child, and the cousin who married her later, and the eldest princess who caused a disturbance when she got married was just a simple, carefree little girl who hoped to cling to her mother.

This is the grandson and Li Shimin's child?Ruoshui thought for a whole night, and finally understood that with such a strong father and a perfect mother, no one dared to hurt them until today. They seemed to be living in a vacuum palace, lacking the care of their parents. They grow up according to their own temperament, they say they grow up, but in fact, compared with those dozens of half-brothers and sisters, they are more like children who can't grow up.Therefore, when their world collapsed in half due to the death of their mother after ten years of Zhenguan, when they were forced to directly enter the complicated and complicated imperial court to govern, all kinds of immature, childish, dark, and despicable means made them feel like this. It came out, but in the end it ended up a lose-lose end.

At night, Guangyue and the others were separated. Ruoshui wrote alone under the lamp for a long time. When she put down her pen, it seemed that it was already three o'clock. She didn't feel sleepy either. She just stood up and turned her neck. Recalling that when I questioned the two sons, I found that the content of their teaching was only the part of loyalty and benevolence in Confucianism.I don't know who said before that Confucianism is a means to deceive the people, it cannot govern the country, and it will never be used by the emperor.However, because the two children are still young, and Li Shimin is not a short-lived emperor, the way of governing the country can indeed be slowed down.But the two points of dealing with people and being familiar with history are education that must be started.As for her daughter, Ruoshui curled the corners of her mouth. There are really only four words to describe her: pink carving and jade carving. I will definitely do my best to make her healthy, free and happy.

In fact, under the circumstances at that time, the only ones who really knew the Queen's physical condition were Ruoshui and her three maids. Even the imperial doctor couldn't figure out what the weak but not so severe pulse indicated. .After daily notifications and long waits, and seeing the pale face of the queen lying on the bed, I had to keep trying to fine-tune the prescription.At a time and place they didn't know, Ruoshui had been enjoying this rough natural scenery in the garden of the villa for a long time. Opening a side door from the side courtyard where she lived, Tao Qian's "Picking Chrysanthemums Under the Eastern Fence, Seeing Leisurely" "Nanshan" is right in front of you.There were not many people in the Biezhuang, and the servants all knew that no one was allowed to disturb the queen's rest, not to mention that Danyun had sent guards to the borders around the garden, and no one would trespass.The false impression that Ruoshui was seriously ill was safe. Although Mingxia had to spend some time to turn her face pale and sick before seeing the imperial doctor, nothing could replace the long period of freedom she gained.

Today, there are three more children who know this secret. They had doubts about a mother who was not actually sick. The queen mother had no choice but to do it.But then, they quickly accepted this very different queen mother.

The weather in the past few days has been very good. It is said to be the garden of the Royal Villa, but most of them are trees and flowers that grow naturally. Many trees may be hundreds of years old. Danyun privately tied a few swings here. , for the queen, princess and prince to rest.

When Ruoshui listened to them calling her mother instead of queen mother with a smile, when Ruoshui hugged them in her arms and kissed them from time to time, when Ruoshui saw their surprise and excitement when they came to the lush garden for the first time And when shaken, she knew she was doing something right.No matter what kind of child it is, it is natural to want to be cared by the mother, but it is instinctive to want to have freedom and a broad vision.When history was in its heyday, what the emperor or the country needed was not a heir who was better than a woman in the palace with vicious means to make his subjects feel cold, but an upright and magnanimous heir with a glorious bearing, The future king with foresight and foresight, and this quality is not born, it can only be cultivated slowly after you constantly understand your country and your subjects, so Cheng Qian must have a broad vision and a broad mind.As for Li Tai and Mingyao, from now on, their lives will no longer be confined to deep palaces and boudoirs, and they will gradually learn how to control their own future.

Cheng Qian felt that he had never been so happy, every part of his body seemed to be stretched out.During the day, in mother's "secret garden", he stretched out his arms, rushed down from the height of the slope, fell down, got up again, and lay down on the grass after playing exhaustedly. Hui came over, patted his forehead affectionately, and called him to drink sour plum soup, sweetly adding some crushed ice.He would jump up suddenly, put his arms around his mother's waist, and lead her to walk in a crooked manner. When he saw his younger brother and younger sister under the shade of a tree, he suddenly felt a blood connection.The whole family sat around under the tree, and then listened to the mother tell some very interesting stories, unlike the old man Li who always said "Zhihu Zheye" or something in a dull tone, the voice of the mother at this time was soft and beautiful, with a kind of Indescribable magic.Mother talked about a few former emperors, there were good and bad, but the good ones always had some shortcomings, and the bad ones were not useless. She also talked about a few past ministers, some were loyal and some were treacherous, but there were also some loyal ones. When pedantic and greedy for power and power, the treacherous ones have the advantages of being smart and filial. My mother said, this is called no one is perfect, and gold is never enough.Mother also talked about some heroes, some scholars, and even some eunuchs, and told them that people are never absolutely bad, nor absolutely good.

In the evening, my mother came to my room every three days, and what I put in front of me were some old articles, starting with Jia Yi's "On Passing the Qin Dynasty", and it took a few days to finish an article. But it was not boring to say it from the mother's mouth. I heard that my younger brother and sister listened differently from him at night, and it seemed more relaxed and interesting, but he was not envious, because Cheng Qian began to really understand what responsibility is, and what is responsibility. It is the responsibility of the prince again.
