Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When the empress dowager captured Zhou, Jiang Jing basically ended the migration of the people in Xingqing Mansion.He took his wife and a dozen or so children in the family, big and small, to the Daqing Hall to watch the grandma's Zhou Catch Ceremony.

The generals of Liangshan, as long as the military rank is above a thousand households, have been invited to bring their families to the palace to watch the princess catch Zhou.The other ones who were invited were the dozen or so courtiers and couples who were above the third rank, as well as the new female Jinshi who were favored by the empress.

This can be regarded as the first appearance of the princess after a hundred days.All the people who were invited were very excited, and happily came to the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Empress appeared holding the Empress Dowager.Both the mother and daughter were dressed in bright red dresses, the same style and color were bright and eye-catching.The Empress Dowager, whose appearance was similar to that of the Empress, had a beautiful face like snow, with a rouge bean between her brows, and her bony eyes scanned the visitors from the Daqing Palace from left to right.Suddenly seeing so many people with so many eager eyes on the little lady, she hugged her mother's neck nervously.

Hu Sanniang patted her butt to comfort her, and Lin Chong, who was following Hu Sanniang, also noticed her daughter's nervousness, so he immediately grabbed her daughter's little hand and shook it.The princess obviously got enough comfort from her parents, and her expression relaxed.When everyone bent down to salute, she smiled with her mouth open, let go of her arms tightly around her mother's neck, and spoke behind the Empress. It was obvious that she was used to imitating the Empress.

"Exemption."

The girl's voice is immature and soft, and her skillful way of raising her hand to speak imitates the empress by more than [-]%.It can be seen that these two words are used very often and are so skillful.

Hu Sanniang laughed, and when the child learned to speak from adults, he always picked up the two words she had spoken with Lin Chong to learn.Every time Lin Chong met her, no matter whether the child was held in his arms or by Lin Chong, he would salute meticulously first. The two words "free of courtesy" are the words that the princess heard the most and said most clearly.

In front of the imperial seat in the Daqing Palace, there is a large and long case, on which are the same as common people's homes, with some delicate items for children to catch Zhou.Hu Sanniang put the princess on the case, and said softly to the little lady: "Hey, see which one you like, go and get it, it's yours."

The princess stood still on the case, and everyone held their breaths and followed her turning heads to look at the test objects on the case.Who would have thought that the Empress suddenly grabbed the sleeve of the Empress and cried out excitedly.

"Sword sword sword."

Lin Chong couldn't help laughing, looked at Hu Sanniang and advised, "Why don't you give it to her!"

Hu Sanniang thought about it, tapped the crown girl's forehead, "No good thing can fall into your eyes." Then she took out her short sword from her sleeve, walked to the farthest corner of the table and put it down.He also called a small yellow gate of the Zichen Palace, and put the jade seal in the other corner, which the princess asked for several times but did not play with.

Those who were close immediately saw that the Tainu's eyes seemed to light up, but hesitation clearly appeared on her face.In just a split second, the princess let go of Lin Chong's hand and came rushing towards the dagger.Walking steadily, without stumbling, when he came to Hu Sanniang, he didn't care about the things around the dagger, and sat down with a puff, grabbing the dagger with both hands while drooling.

Hu Sanniang wiped the saliva on the empress dowager lovingly. The empress dowager already had eight deciduous teeth, and she was in the period of gnashing and grinding her teeth with everything.As expected, the next move was to poke there and start nibbling on the dagger.

The adults and children who were invited all laughed, the princess is so cute.

Hu Sanniang wiped her mouth again, and said patiently: "It's not tasty, it's teething."

Lin Chong came over and put the dagger into the Empress' arms.

Holding the dagger in her arms, the princess turned to look at Yuxi, and said sweetly, "Aniang, yes."

Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and praised the princess with a smile: "The official family, it can be seen that the princess understands in her heart that she must have the sword of the official family before she can get the jade seal. It's so smart."

Those who are close to the empress, who are qualified to speak, and are familiar with the empress, all began to tease the empress and praised the little lady for her cleverness.Before the empress did not understand what the visitor meant, Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong, the parents, were proud at first, and then secretly felt ashamed for catching Zhou and cheating.

Without him, the child's mind, novelty, out of hand, generally will not let go of it.

A few days ago, Hu Sanniang hugged the empress and performed a few times in a row with the short sword splitting stones and branches, and then put the dagger back into her sleeve. sword.

The same is true for Yuxi.

There is nothing that can't be done.The princess of a country, the future empress, is not good at doing things like grabbing rouge and jewelry in Zhuzhou.From her first public appearance, she needs to bring the relationship of mother and daughter to the absolute supporters of the dynasty, and to establish strong confidence in her as the future empress to the future courtiers of the dynasty.

The Catch the Zhou Ceremony was very successful, and after the Catch the Zhou, the name of the Empress Dowager Hu Lin was known to everyone.

At the banquet that followed, Lu Zhishen patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and said, "Junior Brother, it's very kind, and I don't worry about you."

Lin Chong smiled and cupped his fists to thank Lu Zhishen for his concern. Seeing that there was still no wine bowl in front of Lu Zhishen, he secretly laughed in his heart. Senior brother was addicted to alcohol, but now he quit it just because he said he wants to quit.

Most of the people at the banquet didn't drink much, only those who were unmarried or old and didn't want to be born again held wine bowls to drink heartily.

Sister-in-law Gu sat near the empress, and Mrs. Chai also came to watch the ceremony, who was pregnant with Liujia.Hu Sanniang saw that she was working hard, so she advised her to go to the side hall to rest.

Mrs. Chai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the last one. After giving birth to this one, there will be no more."

Hu Sanniang nodded, "You husband and wife have both children, so there is no need to have another child. Too many births will hurt the body. There are medicines that are not harmful to the body from Doctor An, and you can use them as appropriate in the future."

Mrs. Gu looked at the princess and said to Hu Sanniang: "I just hope to have a well-behaved little lady like the princess. What good advice does your majesty have?"

She had given birth to several sons, and hoped that her daughter's heart would grow stronger, but Sun Xin always said that children follow fate, and discussed it with Imperial Physician An in private, only saying that there was no prescription for having a daughter.

Hu Sanniang understood what Sun Xin was thinking, but she was afraid that having a daughter would follow Gu's temperament.He just smiled and said: "Children follow fate, maybe your next child will be a daughter."

Women sit together, come and go, and talk about the topic of having children.The princess looked at the children who were similar to her, and followed those children with her attention, but she was still able to sit safely in her mother's arms.

"Do you want to play with them?" Hu Sanniang asked softly, noticing the gaze of the daughter in her arms.

The princess shook her head, holding the short sword in her arms and begging Hu Sanniang: "Mother, Sui Sui."

Hu Sanniang shook her head, there are so many people in Jiying Hall, where is the place to show sword spirit.

"Auntie will take you to the nursery tomorrow, you have to be obedient, and you can look at the broken stones when you come back at night."

The princess understood Hu Sanniang's words, and knew that tomorrow she would be obedient, and she could watch the broken stone at night.As for what the nursery school was, she didn't ask, she just leaned in her mother's arms and watched others talk.

The princess went to the nursery very smoothly, without crying or fussing.The court ladies who often follow her stay by her side, which is the same as waiting for A Niang to come back or Daddy to come back in Zichen Palace.

Originally, when she turned one year old, she would be sent to the nursery in the Inner Palace. It was agreed between Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong.Let her play and grow up with children of the same age, and there will be no shortage of helpers from people she has known since childhood.

The first day was fine, and I stayed in the smallest class like an obedient boy, looking at those children who basically couldn't walk and were still crawling around on the floor, drooling.But on the second day, they started shifting shifts, and the ladies who were in charge of taking care of the nursery were all Liangshan's family members, and there were palace ladies who didn't want to go out of the palace.Everyone knew that she was the Empress Dowager, and no one dared to stop her, so she was allowed to join the class.Anyway, the people who took care of her followed behind her.

A few days later, she chose to stay in the big class by herself, watching the group of children over four years old play with building blocks, and then quickly joined in.It didn't take long to follow the older child, stumbling and running wildly.These children are more or less sensible, and they have seen her at the Zhou Catch Ceremony a few days ago, and they accepted her easily when she came to play in the big class, and there were court ladies watching and pointing them out.

Some have younger siblings, and they will take care of her more or less when they play.

The Tainu adapted very well in the big class.Still shaking his head and reciting poems, of course he is too young, so he remembers and forgets as he goes.

After playing for a year, when the children in this age group turned five years old and were promoted to the New Yanfu Palace to study formally, she refused to go to the nursery school.I reluctantly went, either sneaking around, or climbing trees by myself. I would rather look at the scenery alone on the tree than play with the children who have just been promoted to the top class.

Lin Chong asked his daughter why she was like this, and the little lady replied delicately: "Daddy, don't want them."

Lin Chong was very helpless to get his daughter back like this. The children are too young to follow those children who are promoted to school.I had no choice but to let the empress take the princess with me when I went to the military camp.Other times I bring it with me.Fortunately, she is not noisy, the empress handles political affairs, and she plays with building blocks by herself; sometimes the empress summons courtiers, she also blinks her eyes and listens quietly to the emperor's courtiers.When Lin Chong was in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the rude generals who came and went and saw the well-behaved princess all lowered their voices in unison.When it was time for her holiday, the empress would also send out some girls and boys aged six to eight to come into the palace in turn to play wildly with her for most of the day.

In such a situation, Hu Sanniang understood that the child's mobility surpassed that of the same age group.Lin Chong has always been a firm supporter of Hu Sanniang holding her daughter in her arms, channeling her meridians, and teaching her to practice inner strength.In his heart, if it weren't for Hu Sanniang's strong martial arts, he would have been pointed out by Song Jiang to the dwarf tiger Wang Ying or beaten to death by Li Kui when he first arrived in Liangshan.

But Hu Sanniang has been able to become the empress who established the dynasty and made a promise. Lin Chong even believed that it was Hu Sanniang who single-handedly frightened the former Song emperor and had to abdicate.Lin Chong has always been proud of the Empress's martial arts, and never felt embarrassed, cowed, or psychologically uncomfortable because he was inferior to Hu Sanniang in civil and martial arts. He most hoped that his daughter could have the same superb martial arts as the Empress.

Bianliang's life is so unhurried.Lin Chong got used to going to the Zichen Palace every day to spend the night, and got used to the empress hugging the princess and sorting out her meridians.Everyone has also adapted to the changing of the empress, the court's continuous migration of people west and north, and even the court's opening of the royal garden, Genyue, for the people to visit and play, ahem, for a fee.

At the beginning of the opening of Genyue, the number of people entering the park was limited every day. To visit Genyue, you need to make an appointment in advance and purchase tickets for admission in advance.Even so, the people of Bianliang flocked to Genyue.Because the empress said, all the proceeds from the tickets will be supplied to the family members of the soldiers who died fighting for the country in the west and north, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were seriously injured and retired.

It didn't take long for officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Inspectorate to join in.Because those who visit Genyue often donate large sums of money to the relatives and orphans of the fallen soldiers.Hu Sanniang instructed that donations and tickets should be handled separately, and the proceeds from tickets will be distributed quarterly.Donations are invested in the business of the imperial court as an investment, and dividends are distributed to the bereaved families and orphans every year.

The Ministry of Households invited dozens of volunteers to monitor the income from tickets and the government's distribution to the common people.The imperial court also cooperates with merchants in its transactions, and that part is also a transparent matter.

Lin Chong smiled and said to Hu Sanniang: "This Gen Yue got more money than the one-time auction."

He deeply admired the profitable businesses Hu Sanniang developed with Jiang Jing and Gongsun Sheng over the years.Only by increasing income and reducing expenditure can we barely cope with the military expenditures for the continuous conquests in the west and north. .
