〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

After the beginning of spring, the cold snow still fell in the north, covering the glazed tiles in the palace with a layer of silver.

Xiao Zixian put on a sable fur coat, stepped on the thick ground, and walked towards the South Hall.

There is the study of today's holy majesty.

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make it into a tool; if you don't learn, you don't know. He is the king of ancient times, the king of the country, the king and the people, and the teaching is the first."

"The son is on the river, saying: "The dead are like husbands!Day and night. "

It is rare for a childish voice to come out from the study.

Xiao Zixian stood outside the door for a while, and inadvertently saw the crooked plum tree.It stands silently in the corner, although it is not eye-catching, but this year is the most prosperous year of flowers.A large area of ​​plum blossoms stretches out quietly, giving people a chance to discover it.

Xiao Zixian watched, listened, and read.

"It's snowing outside, so you won't come in unless I ask you?"

The tone of these words reveals an arrogance, an arrogance that belongs to an emperor.

Xiao Zixian pushed the door open, and a four or five-year-old child rushed towards him and hugged his leg, and said in a childish voice, "Teacher, are you finally back?"

The child only reached his lap, raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water.

Xiao Zixian picked him up and said with a smile: "During the time I was away, did the prince study hard?"

"Yes, yes." The child nodded, "Father still supervises me personally."

Wisps of light smoke rose from the bronze tripod behind the child, and there was a person standing behind the curtain, Xiao Zixian hurried forward.

"Long live the emperor."

Sitting in front of the desk was the majestic king, with neither joy nor anger on his resolute face, he only said: "Why did you go for so long this time? Didn't you even write a letter?"

"Weichen's hometown is remote and isolated, communication is very difficult, so Weichen came back quickly after visiting his mother."

Qingdi frowned, "You will find a reason. It is a maximum of 20 days from here to the border. You have been there for a month, so how can you hurry?"

Xiao Zixian was not nervous, but stroked the child's hair, and said calmly: "Some things happened on Weichen's road, and several horses were changed. I have gone to several towns to buy them, and it will inevitably take a lot of time. .”

Emperor Qing didn't discuss this topic anymore, he was not as good at talking as the person in front of him.

Xiao Zixian said: "Wei Chen brought back some snacks from his hometown, and they have already handed them over to the imperial dining room. If the emperor has no other orders, then Wei Chen will take the prince down first."

As soon as he was about to leave, Emperor Qing said: "I have nothing else to do today, and I will teach Ye'er. There is a couch behind the curtain, and it will be noon after you sleep."

Xiao Zixian felt a little embarrassed, but he had to obey, so he had to put the prince down, turned around and walked into the curtain.

Emperor Qing didn't look away from Xiao Zixian for a moment, and he didn't look back until his figure disappeared behind the gauze curtain.Looking out the window, the snow is still falling, but Qingdi feels that today is much warmer than the past month.

Su Ye secretly watched his father's expression from the side, and couldn't help grinning.

……

Xiao Zixian traveled a long distance, and it would be a lie to say that he was not tired.

Although he slept heavily this time, he remembered the fragments of the dream one by one.

The person in the dream is blurred and cannot be seen clearly, but there is still an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if the appearance of that person has long been a habit.Looking at each other, but also relatively silent.

Opening his eyes again, Xiao Zixian realized that someone was sitting on the edge of the bed.The slender figure blocked the light after the sun cleared, and the outline reflected in his eyes gradually became clear.

"emperor……"

Xiao Zixian pulled back his consciousness, Qingdi was holding the memorial in his left hand, while playing with his hair in his right hand, this posture seemed a bit ambiguous, he wanted to get up quickly.

But Qingdi exerted a little force with his right hand, but he didn't let him get up. "The noon has not arrived yet."

"Weichen has always been a light sleeper, and after waking up, he can't sleep anymore."

"If you can't sleep, just lie down!"

"..."

Is there any difference between sitting and sitting?

Seeing that Emperor Qing didn't have any intention of letting go, Xiao Zixian had no choice but to compromise.

Emperor Qing asked: "Can the border area be peaceful?"

"The emperor governs the country well, and there are fewer wars."

Emperor Qing closed the booklet, "So, what injustices will you encounter along the way?"

Xiao Zixian nodded seriously: "Yes."

Emperor Qing looked at him condescendingly, "Tell me about it."

Xiao Zixian really started talking one by one.

"When I passed by a mountain village, I overheard the people there mentioning that thieves have been rampant in recent years, and chickens and ducks have lost food every month. I know that the emperor cares about the people, so I stayed for two days to help them find the thieves."

"The results of it?"

Xiao Zixian continued: "It was indeed done by a veteran thief. According to the law, I have handed him over to the local county government for investigation."

Emperor Qing nodded and asked: "What else?"

"There was an old man in a small town who didn't have enough children when he was young, so he had no children to support when he was old. So I taught his son a lesson on behalf of the emperor. Fortunately, this son still has filial piety. After some explanations, he came to his senses. The old man was able to share reunion."

"Then there is the Xi County outside the capital, where the officials are harsh on the people, so I told him the way of being an official..."

Emperor Qing kept his composure and patiently listened to a lot of grievances he uttered.

"That's how it happened."

Emperor Qing looked at him: "Is it finished?"

"En." Xiao Zixian nodded.

"One more day?" Emperor Qing leaned down, resting his chin on Xiao Zixian's shoulder, and said, "The journey is 20 days, nine days to help me resolve civil disputes, one day left? Where are you going?"

Xiao Zixian's body was a little stiff, but he didn't resist. He blinked innocently at the bed rail, and replied: "Weichen slept for hours yesterday, and I didn't have time to catch up with the gate of the capital."

So Xiao Zixian clearly heard the Qing Emperor sneer.

After a while, Emperor Qing touched Xiao Zixian's neck with his slender fingers, then looked at him and said, "I lost weight."

Xiao Zixian just smiled lightly and remained silent.

……

Crown Prince Su Ye took a sip of the milk wine brought back by Xiao Zixian, his face beamed with joy.

Emperor Qing frowned slightly: "How old is Ye'er, how can he drink?"

"Don't worry, your majesty, this is milk wine from Weichen's hometown. Most of it is goat's milk, and its strength is less than one tenth of that of ordinary wine. The children in our place have been drinking this since childhood."

Xiao Zixian stroked the prince's smooth hair, and said with emotion - the prince still looks good.Those children in my hometown are too strong, how can they be as cute as a pink and tender prince?

Xiao Zixian's hometown is far away from the border, a foreign tribe.He himself also has the blood of a foreign race, but because his mother is from the Central Plains, he has mostly inherited his mother's appearance, so it cannot be seen that he is a descendant of a foreign race.

Emperor Qing looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table, and Xiao Zixian introduced them to him one by one.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing asked: "Camels are extremely important to some foreign tribes. When I went to the border a few years ago, I heard that foreigners have a rule not to kill camels for food, so why are there such dishes as sauced camel hooves?" color?"

Xiao Zixian said with a smile: "The courtiers and tribes don't have such regulations. As long as they are domestic camels, they can be eaten."

Emperor Qing nodded and stopped asking.

Xiao Zixian served the prince for dinner, but he himself didn't eat a single grain of rice.

Emperor Qing added some vegetables to his bowl, and said, "Don't get too used to him."

Xiao Zixian said: "The prince is growing up, he should eat more, otherwise his body will be weaker in the future."

Although Su Ye was young, he was very sensible. He also put some vegetables in his bowl, and said, "Teacher, Ye'er can eat by himself. You should eat quickly, the teacher seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Emperor Qing nodded, as if to say: Even Ye'er can tell, why don't you hurry up and eat more?

So Xiao Zixian picked up the bowl and chopsticks with a smile.

While Xiao Zixian was eating food silently, Emperor Qing said again: "You don't need to rush to the morning morning for these two days, take a good rest."

Xiao Zixian hurriedly said: "The emperor is serious, I am not tired at all, so I don't need to rest too much. Besides, that is my duty, how about..."

Emperor Qing frowned: "It's been a month without a prime minister, so what's the problem if we don't have a few more days?"

Xiao Zixian hesitated to speak.

"Isn't it your duty to teach Yu Ye'er?"

Xiao Zixian was finally speechless.

"If that's the case, then follow my arrangement." Emperor Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Continue to eat, don't starve."
