Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 414: Shelter from the rain

Although Li Wei did not intervene out of thin air in Li Shi's case, he would inevitably ask how it was going.

That morning, after speaking with the concubines and concubines, Li Wei planned to go to the Wenhua Hall to see how the princesses were studying. The car had been prepared, and Li Wei adjusted his clothes by himself and walked out.

After getting in the car, she drove east for a distance. She lifted the curtain and was about to talk to Lan Hui, but suddenly she saw people from Yongshou coming in and out. She saw a woman wearing an eggplant, purple and jersey holding her in her arms. A swaddling, the baby in that swaddling is the child of Princess Ping not long after the birth, and now it is full moon, so I brought it into the palace to show the concubine Jing.

Li Wei was startled, and he whispered a few words with Lan Hui. Lan Hui said, "Please don't worry, Queen Mother, the slave and maid will pass."

Sure enough, Lan Hui went and intervened a little with the people over there. After a while, the woman came over with the baby and went to Li Wei's car and bowed respectfully.

Li Wei lifted the curtain and looked at the baby, smiling and saying, "This is Princess Ping's child. I haven't seen him since he was born. Can you give me a hug?"

The queen mother made a request, and there was nothing she dared not refuse. The nanny carefully presented the child. Li Wei took the child from the nanny. She looked down and found that the face of the child who was just full moon was a little red and wrinkled. , It's not cute.

The child was still sleeping at the moment, and it looked exceptionally quiet.

"The child was born well."

"Thank you for your compliment." The nurse thanked the child.

Li Wei was taken aback by this title. Is she a grandmother? !

Li Wei exchanged a few more words before he ordered the car to move on. Before, Princess Ping stayed in Beijing to give birth on the grounds that she was pregnant. Li Wei agreed softly. Now Princess Ping has successfully given birth to a child and confinement. It's full, it's time to consider returning the land. Since the incident of King Shu, Li Wei had to be careful with these vassals.

She came to the Wenhua Hall and Zhan Yunbai taught these noble women to study the Book of Rites. Orthodox teaches: "Great music must be easy, great gifts must be simple".

Mr. Zhan was too late, and as usual, he did not stop teaching.

Li Wei stood on the back door and looked indoors. It is said that these female students have been studying for some time, and they don't know how to learn, so they have to find a way to check the results of their studies.

Instead of just standing and leaving as usual, she was given a chair and sat in the back row to watch Zhan Yunbai's teaching with her own eyes.

Mr. Zhan is more than half a hundred years old, but he is rich in learning and learning. It is said that he is also very good at riding and shooting, and he is a real gentleman.

Li Wei sits down in person, and the old children who were sloppy in nature have converged a bit at this moment, carefully following the master.

Zhan Yunbai finished a section with fear, and let the princesses take a break. He squeezed his sweat to invite the queen mother's Ann.

"The queen mother is still free today, it's rare to watch for so long."

Li smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, come and have a look if there is nothing wrong. The old gentleman has worked hard."

"Try my best to complete the entrustment of the Queen Mother, but dare not mention the word hard."

Li Wei immediately said: "The princess has been here to study for a while, and I don’t know how much he has learned. The children are of different ages and the knowledge they have acquired is not the same, so I have to ask Mr. Zhan and others. The two gentlemen discussed and gave a set of test questions to test the learning results. What do the old gentlemen think?"

Questions for these young female students? Zhan Yunbai saw that the queen dowager was so cautious and it was not easy to be perfunctory, so he said: "The old minister will discuss with them and discuss an assessment method based on the actual situation of the princesses' learning, and then come to ask the queen dowager to ask for a feasible method."

Li Wei said: "Okay, wait for your results."

Li Wei called Shujia over and asked with a soft smile: "My nine princesses, do you understand the two sentences that my husband taught just now?"

Shujia is the youngest, and she is naturally more difficult to learn than others. She honestly said: "When the husband first started speaking, the son-chen couldn't understand a word. Later, the husband explained it in detail and understood."

"Oh? What do you mean by telling me?"

"Speaking of the best, tall music is simple, approachable, and the best and most complete etiquette is simple."

After hearing this, Li Wei smiled and touched Shujia's head, and said: "It's hard for you to experience it at a young age."

Zhan Yunbai took the opportunity to say: "Enlighten the Queen Mother, although the nine princesses are young, they are extremely serious and extremely hardworking."

Li Wei said: "It's rare that she is so sensible."

She stayed at the Wenhua Pavilion for a while before returning to Chongqing Palace. Apart from the princesses going to school, she was still thinking about Princess Ping. If she gave birth to the child, she seemed a little uncomfortable, at most Give another two months of grace, when the weather just cools down, and it will be easier to travel.

The sun was still shining just now, and in a blink of an eye, the sun hid behind the dark clouds. The sky suddenly darkened, and a faint thunder came over, and it seemed that it would rain soon.

Immediately after the squally wind, heavy raindrops fell.

Qiu Chan and Yu Chang were directing a few little eunuchs to move the potted flowers to the porch. After hard work, the flowers were finally rescued. Li Wei opened the window himself, and was standing under the window watching the rain hit Basho.

At this time, she saw a few people pouring in at the gate of the courtyard, and through the rain curtain, she also saw the visitors clearly.

The pouring rain came in an instant. She walked out of the room door, and the visitor also arrived on the porch. The head of her body was wet in many places.

The shreds of hair around the ears have been attached to the face, and the shoulders, sleeves, and corners of the robe are all wet.

"This rain comes as soon as it is said, and it happened to pass by here, so I came to the Queen Mother's palace to take shelter."

Regardless of whether he intentionally or unintentionally, Li Wei invited him to Linglong Pavilion to rest.

After entering the room, Li Wei frowned when he saw the wetness on his clothes and asked, "Who wants to change into dry clothes?"

Zhao Qian chuckled, "Even if I want to change, there is nothing suitable for you."

This is true. Li Wei ordered people to serve hot tea and brought fruit to greet Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian was not polite, and he sat down opposite Li Wei with his robe.

The two hadn't seen each other for some time, and Zhao Qian took the initiative to bring up Li Shi with Li Wei.

"The people from Dali Temple have come to ask me what I mean. I wondered what you meant and let them do business. It is estimated that they can understand it. The case should be finished in a few days. The prison may be avoided, but I'm afraid I will be lost."

Li Wei had expected this result a long time ago. This was the evil done by the eldest brother himself, and no one can blame it.

Li Wei said lightly: "They are all grown-ups. If you make a mistake, you have to be punished."
