~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the prince's East Palace, a man wearing a loyal and quiet crown, with his hands clasped, was pacing in the center of the huge pavilion, holding his head up and singing loudly, "Tao, man's law, earth's law, heaven's law, and Tao's nature. For the country People, the great Dao, the art is born out of the Tao, Fang is the great art, the head of the great art, keep a low profile, sharpen the sword for ten years, draw the sword, seal the throat with one sword..."

The children at the opposite imperial table were drowsy. He looked at them and shook his head, sighed helplessly, stretched out his foot and kicked the leg of the table hard, and the imperial table slammed loudly. The young men in robes and crowns Jumping up in fright, he hastily sat up straight, and kept aiming at the man's delicate face.
"Emperor grandson, what I just said, repeat it to me again." He walked back to the case and sat down, resting his chin in one hand, dipping a pen in thick ink with the other, and drew a beautiful woman on the rice paper pressed by the stone lion paperweight. Figure to.
The grandson of the emperor, Zhu Zhanji, recited the whole book, fearing that he would recite it on a whim, and asked him to recite all his will, strategy, technique, decision, and learning, and he was too frightened to speak out.Stealing a glance at the person sitting on the seat, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he seemed to be in a good mood, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, the person said leisurely, "If you make up your mind and then plan, what is a planner?"

Zhu Zhanji wrung his fingers and replied humbly, "The first strategy is skill; the second strategy is patience; the third strategy..."
The book next to him was rustling, and he scoffed, since he was a child, he knew how to stealthily!Without raising his head, he said softly, "Marquis of Chang'an, King of Linjiang, you two have such leisure time, why don't you make up for the lessons that have been left behind, have you read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and stereotyped articles thoroughly?"

Those two bluffed out of their wits, bowed their heads and didn't dare to say anything more, he raised his chin at Zhu Zhanji, "I would like to ask the emperor grandson, what is the way to be a king?"
Zhu Zhanji swallowed his saliva, unable to express his words, and said, "Returning to Taifu, the way to be a king begins with aspirations. If aspirations are not established, people will not succeed. The so-called aspirations... reach the sky above, and connect to the earth below..."

The Taifu lord picked up the commanding ruler and banged it on the edge of the table. He scolded in displeasure, "Wrong! The way to be a king must first preserve the people. If you harm the people to serve yourself, it is like cutting your own stock to sacrifice yourself." Eating the stomach will kill the body when the stomach is full. If the world is safe, one must first correct the body. If the body is not upright, the shadows will be distorted, and the top will be chaotic! I have told you many times, and the people’s suffering can be done only when they are in the heart. A good emperor, you haven’t realized it, even if you can’t ride and shoot today, copy the “Ten Commandments” twenty times, and show it to me at the same time tomorrow, if it’s good, then it’s good, if it’s not good...” He was sad Grinding his teeth, "Be careful with your skin! I don't care if you are the emperor's grandson or not, if you commit a crime in my hands for a while, you can still hit me."
Zhu Zhanji said yes with a pale face. After thinking about it, he didn't give up, and said cautiously, "Master Tai Tuo, my second uncle said yesterday that it is too young, and it may not be good..."
The Taifu raised his eyebrows, and hummed, the rising tone made the young masters tremble twice, trying to straighten their backs and try to sit upright, but the flesh on their calves was shaking.
"Is that what the King of Han said? Can you become a pillar when you grow up?" the Taifu gritted his teeth and sneered, "I only heard that if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles."
Several children looked at each other in dismay, and then they were shocked. The Taifu was like the king of Hades. Although he couldn't really start a fight, he always had a way to beat you to death. The youngest Yuejing County King Zhu Zhanyong had tears in his eyes, He was almost about to cry, when he saw a beautiful woman with light make-up coming slowly with her hands on her waist under the willows on the embankment by the lake, and the children shouted as if they had been pardoned, "My lord, the emperor's aunt is here!"
The Taifu's face became colorful in an instant, clearly glowing with joy, and pretending to be careless, while squinting, he continued to pace and chant, "An elephant has no form, and a traitor is like loyalty. Things will turn when they are extreme, black and thick, Innocence, everything is indispensable..."
The beauty got closer and closer, with bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and charming. Because her body was getting heavier, her walk became more and more colorful recently. The Tai Tuo was attracted by her soul and soul, and said dizzily, "The unique beauty group, Show off the glamorous color of the city, wear Mingyu to compare cleanliness, and Qi Youlan to compete for fragrance."
This is coming softly!The Taifu thought proudly, since she hadn't come home for three days, she really couldn't hold back, this time it's time to revive her husband and feel proud.The well-behaved Taifu's mansion can't live, and she clamored to move to the Taifu's mansion. Although she was considerate of her missing her parents, it's not good to see things every day, not to mention hurting her body. Now she is still pregnant with a child. When the child falls to the ground and grows into a pumpkin, what a surprise!Also, he is dignified and dignified, and he lives in the mansion of his father-in-law, isn't that an intrusion in the door?But I can't afford to lose that person, absolutely not!
The beauty lifted her skirt up the steps, and the servants on the left and right bowed to support her. The Taifu resisted the urge to step forward, and stood with his head held high.
The young men all bowed to each other, "Greetings to Aunt Huang."
The beauty smiled sweetly, "I have something to talk to the Taifu, you guys just rest for a while."
The grandson of the emperor and the princes and princes of Yigan County scattered like birds and beasts. The beauty picked up an armchair and sat down. She looked at the pretentious Taifu lord calmly and said calmly, "It's inconvenient for you to live in the yamen of the household department. You can't eat well and sleep well. Not good, why do you suffer for yourself? I think you are low-key, come back home with me."

The Taifu thought of the pain of the past few days and the mosquito bites all over his body, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He wanted to nod, but suddenly the integrity of a big man appeared again, and he wanted to persuade him to surrender?The front line of life and death on the battlefield has not moved him, how can he easily surrender this time!Then he said disapprovingly, "The conditions were much more difficult during the march, so it's not a big deal now. I'm busy with work these days, so it's convenient to live in the yamen."
The beauty bowed her head and pondered for a while, and said, "The latter is the old man's [-]th birthday, and the uncle arranges it, and we will also share the gift, the gift list is ready, do you want to see it?"
Master Taifu waved his hand, "You can make up your own mind about the family affairs, I don't have time to take care of these things! Who in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty holds three jobs like me? There is no time to breathe right now. .”
The beauty turned her head and thought, the official titles are too many, the crown prince Taifu, the household secretary, the son-in-law captain, the heroes who participated in the Jingnan, no matter those who survived or died in the battle, most of them were conferred public titles and served as vain posts. Lu, who is like him, who has been appointed three officials in a row, and they are still working hard. It seems that the retribution has come. How can His Majesty's thousand taels of gold be a trap?It would be strange not to squeeze him dry.
Master Taifu smiled awkwardly, in fact, he was really not that busy when he said that he was busy, there were a lot of errands under him, he only needed to make up his mind on major issues, shouted in front of her, and as soon as she softened, the matter was over, the husband and wife , why bother to fight over these trivial matters!Mrs. Tai Tu happily imagined the coquettish attitude of a beauty holding her heart, but who knew that it was not her who was waiting for her, so she said leisurely, "Since you don't go home, I will prepare a change of clothes for you, and I will send someone back later." Send it to the household department.

The Taifu lord interrogated, feeling a feeling of disappointment that he had never felt before. It was all because of the damned Li Jinglong. Originally, his little wife was pretty and lovely, but that man took advantage of them to borrow troops from Daning, and the 50 soldiers Near the city of Beiping, she was forced to join the army to supervise the battle with the family members of generals. When he returned to the city, he saw her standing majestically at the top of the city, wearing a seawater river tooth purple python robe and a mountain-patterned armor. Well, this is good, she has practiced the kung fu of invulnerability from water and fire, and now he can't use some tricks to take advantage of it.
The beauty glanced at him with watery eyes, and said sadly, "You put state affairs first, and I'm bored at home alone. The child grows up day by day, and I can't do without anyone around me. I'd better go back to Xie's mansion to stay for a while. There There are aunts and sisters-in-law, so I can take care of them in case something happens."
Now the Grand Tutor is facing a formidable enemy, secretly thinking that this is going back to her mother's house, it is easy to leave, but it is not easy to invite back!He began to be extremely entangled, and if he didn't do the door inversion, his wife would run away, and it was difficult to choose which one to choose.
The beauty reckoned that the fire was almost done, and it seemed to be loose, so she put in more effort and applied strong medicine, worrying that he would not go home.After a while, Zixiu frowned, clutching his stomach and let out an "ouch".

The Tai Tuo panicked, threw the book in his hand and rushed over, pinched his hand to feel his pulse, and muttered while sounding, "It's not yet full term, is it going to be born?"

The beauty's eyes were bright and bright, but her face was worried, she whispered, "The fetus has been moving a lot lately, it's better for you to hide in the yamen, and don't care about our mother's life or death."
The Tai Tuo felt ashamed for a moment, and when he met his charming wife's charming face, his heartbeat continued to speed up as usual.That's all, the baby is about to be born, and he still cares about what to do with those face problems!He quickly found a high-sounding reason for himself to step down, "Madam is right, no matter how careful those imperial doctors are, it's not as convenient as yourself, why bother others!"
The beauty smiled like a dream, and the Taifu's heart was like a willow in the gentle wind and drizzle, beating time with tenderness.I reached out to touch my pink cheeks, stroked my dark black hair, and secretly sighed, I haven't seen you for three days, I really miss it!Seeing that no one was around, he hugged her into his arms, stroked the bulging belly with one hand, through the thin brocade, he felt a small lump under his palm, which was so small that he would not let it go for a long time, he was so pleasantly surprised Taking a breath, he said with a smile, "Good boy, let's bow to his father."

The beauty said angrily, "Again, this is kicking you!"

Taifu Dale, "This is what makes you a master!" After a pause, he continued, "My brother-in-law won the first prize in the palace examination today, and sent an official to the Ministry of Officials to serve as a servant."
"That's kind." The beauty nodded, "My uncle and aunt have come back from the North, and now they are in the Taifu Mansion. Later, my father-in-law, mother-in-law and my uncle's family will also come to Yingtian. We moved, so we don't have to talk to my mother-in-law."

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really an eternal problem!The beauty is delicate and timid, definitely not a match for the mother-in-law.
The Taifu laughed so that the flower branches trembled, "My mother is so fond of you. When I was sick, I even proposed to you in person. What are you afraid of! Besides, you are the princess of Runan personally appointed by the emperor. No one dares to marry you." Move a little bit, and put your heart in your stomach."

The beauty pursed her lips and smiled, took his hand and said, "Today's homework is over, accompany me to Xie's mansion to see the grandfather and the old lady."

Taifu nodded and went happily.
