Qingning Palace, Zhaoqing Palace.
Li Bi was supervising her son's writing while reviewing the expected expenditures for the palace this year submitted by Wang Qi.
Li Yuan had been sitting beside the desk for nearly half an hour. Seeing that his mother still had no intention of letting him go, with a sad face, he did not dare to move.
But the way he rolled his eyes and glanced at his mother from time to time was indeed very similar to Li Po, showing a restless energy.
At this time, the palace servants came in to announce that the Holy Emperor was coming. Li Bi tidied himself up, got up and went out to greet him. Li Yuan was overjoyed, put down his brush, got up, and followed his mother to greet his grandfather.
Back in the palace, the couple sat opposite each other, with their son standing beside them, looking quite harmonious.
Li Po pretended to ask his son a few questions about his studies, and the answer he got was similar to before. The teachers taught him very well, and his son was working hard to study hard. He could already write some big characters and so on.
So Li Po also judged that the teacher was a good teacher, but his son had not made much progress and his academic progress was slow. Looking at Li Yuan's efforts to straighten his little body, looking like a little adult, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Li Yuan was just over four years old, and he thought it was a bit early for him to learn to read and learn calligraphy. However, the world was like this. If there were such conditions, children would have to start reading as early as they could remember, usually at the age of three or four.
These days, parents really want their children to win at the starting line...
Three- and four-year-old children love to play and be noisy, which is the age when they are ignorant... But under the strict teachings of teachers and parents, many children are very precocious, especially the nobles. By the age of seven or eight, they are very good at etiquette.
I can't find anything wrong with it.
By the time they reach adulthood, these have been integrated into their bones, and they will naturally show up in how they treat others. How do you think those who have not received aristocratic education can compare with them?
The father and son asked and answered questions for a while, and then Li Po waved his hand, "It's getting late, so go and rest."
Li Yuan was so happy that he almost vomited while practicing calligraphy. However, he already knew how to suppress his nature at a young age, so he couldn't help but smile on his face and bowed to salute, "Master, it's good for you."
Some rest.”
He turned around and took brisk steps. Before he could reach the palace door, the palace people on the left and right surrounded him and surrounded him as he went out.
Li Po watched his son's back disappear, feeling a little jealous in his heart. The kid's life was too privileged, he had no worries about food and drink, and there were so many people to take care of him. Thinking about the exposure he had in his early years...it was really incomparable...
Fortunately, we don’t need to study or practice calligraphy. We are so good at it. We are born knowing it. Do you think it’s irritating to others?
When he turned around, Li Bi already had a look on his face and handed it to his son in big characters that he had just written. Li Po took it and took a look.
Li Bi said angrily: "Took it backwards."
Li Po glanced at her and turned around in a sullen tone. How could anyone tell the pros and cons when it was written like this?
"The child is still young, why are you so anxious? Look at Li Chun, who only started to read and write when he was a teenager. Isn't he still decent now? If you push him too much, you have to be careful and it will backfire."
Li Bi thought for a while and felt that what her husband said did make sense. She couldn't remember things from her own childhood, otherwise she could compare them with Li Yuan.
Li Chun...forget it, there is no comparison at all. He looks like he was trained after a general. He has a weird temperament and is lawless. Now that he is finally getting married, it makes her more and more worried. She is afraid that Li Chun will have sex before and after marriage.
Something shocking happens.
The husband and wife are actually pretty much the same. They don't have any good ideas for the education of their children, and they are not sure how to do it. It's just that the conditions are not specified, so they just follow the step-by-step method of raising aristocrats.
Under Li Po's comfort, Li Bi nodded, "The child is a bit young... He is quite lonely without anyone of the same age to accompany him. Why not choose a few well-educated people to join the palace and study with him?"
"
Li Po blinked his eyes twice and thought to himself, you're not eavesdropping again, are you? Why did you choose a reading companion? Do you just... have a tacit understanding?
But he said, "We really thought that once we go out, do you still remember Dou Dan and Dou Guangda?"
Of course Li Bi remembers it. Let’s not talk about what happened back then, let’s talk about it now. Her father is fighting in Shu, and she can’t even think about paying attention to the things there. Dou Dan just dedicated the sword pavilion not long ago, and he is a key figure in the great victory in Shu.
He is already famous in Chang'an, the capital...
It's just that she didn't understand why her husband mentioned this person... Then she remembered that Dou Dan married Li Yuan's second daughter, and suddenly there was a little smoke rising from her head.
She looked at her husband carefully and then said, "Why don't I remember? Dou Sanlang and Li Erniang had a very happy conversation with their husband when they were in Yunnei."
The word "Li Erniang" has an accent and must be emphasized.
Li Po glanced at her sideways and thought to himself, "I'm talking to you about business. What are you talking about, Li Erniang?"
"Dou Guangda's eldest son, Dou Xiaoci, is similar in age to my son. I have asked him to send him to the palace as a companion. The Dou family has a strict family education and there are many outstanding children in the family. He should be able to accompany my son."
Li Bi was not very satisfied, "But who is Li Erniang?"
Li Po nodded, and then he felt that he had done something stupid. Li Yuan's grandson came to read to his son. Isn't this looking for excitement? It was indeed something wrong.
At that time, he only thought that Dou Dan's head looked green and there was a fire in the backyard, so there would be fun to watch, but he didn't think much about it.
He smacked his lips and said, "I can't take back the words I've already spoken. If you're a little tired, I'll have someone look at you carefully. If you don't succeed, I'll send you back."
Li Bi lucked out and allowed her to be more generous. "It's better to have two or three people as companions. Let me choose the rest."
Li Po quickly agreed without thinking, "That's natural. After all, you have to supervise him to study... Well, in a few years I intend to let him study at Chang'an Academy for a few years. Don't stop me then."
"Chang'an Academy?" Li Bi thought about it suspiciously, but she had no impression. Now she was no longer able to listen to the questions in the back hall as before. There were more and more political affairs outside, and they became more and more complicated. Gradually, she was no longer interested.
Only those things that she cares about or are related to her will be heard in her ears. For example, one night, someone set up wine in the mansion to drink with the emperor, etc.
Li Po was patient, and while drinking tea, he told his wife about Chang'an Academy, and even briefly mentioned with his wife the scenarios and plans he had imagined for the future.
Li Bi soon understood that this was not a matter of some academy, but involved the affairs of the country. After listening for a long time, she said: "What your husband does affects the world, and I am not an ignorant person. How can I stop it?"
Li Po smiled and said, "It's better to say hello to you first, otherwise I will explain it later. Even if the truth is still the same, I'm afraid I will have to get some punches."
"Everything is waiting to be done, and everything must be prepared in advance...Some people are already discussing the establishment of a prince. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Li Bi immediately became energetic. Matters related to her vital interests could not allow her to lose concentration. She looked into her husband's eyes and carefully considered her words, wondering why her husband mentioned it at this time.
this matter.
At this moment, no matter how close they are and how deep their relationship is, they can't help but become anxious and wary. The reason why the royal family is ruthless is because the interests involved are too great. There are two worlds between advancement and retreat, so they
How dare you retreat?
If father and son do not retreat, then father and son will kill each other. If brothers do not retreat, then they will cause trouble. If husband and wife do not retreat...it is very likely that they will become inseparable.
Li Po did not test the bottom line between husband and wife, and laughed at the right time, "Don't worry, you and I only have one son, and the position of prince will be his sooner or later. He just needs to educate him well. With our ability,
After all, you won’t raise a waste, right?”
Li Bi looked at the true smile on her husband's face, and tenderness gradually emerged in her heart, quickly replacing those cold calculations, but she was still worried, and she said quietly, "A husband is destined to have many children in the future..."
Li Po didn't let her finish, he leaned over and hugged her shoulders, "You can't say for sure what will happen in the future... After all, the child is still young. When he becomes more sensible, he will be crowned a king first, and then he will find a good teacher and travel around."
Let's take a look, as long as you don't be too stupid or make as much noise as Yang Guang, your position as prince will not change."
Li Bi also laughed, "Yeah, we can't imitate the emperor and his wife in this matter. No big deal will be easy for the prince... In the future, don't drive the child away just because you see which son has a sweet mouth and can talk... Then I can
I’m not done with you.”
Li Po didn't care if this was half true or half false. He agreed with his wife's statement that no big deal would be easy for the prince. As long as his son could follow the steps, he would accept it even if it was mediocre.
He was afraid that the appearance of ambitious guys like Yang Er and Li Er would definitely cause a family tragedy. Having learned from the past, he had to be more careful here.
Thinking about those messy things, he stopped talking to his wife about such disappointing topics. He just hugged her and said with a smile: "A son and a daughter are indeed too weak. Why don't we have a few more to ease the congestion?"
Shut those people's mouths."
Li Bi hummed a few times, "There are too many sons, and the fighting will be annoying. It is better to have a daughter...she can still protect everyone when she is down."
Li Po paused for a moment, thinking that you are really disappointing. Li Bi also felt that what he said was a bit unlucky, so he took the initiative a lot...
The palace people disappeared, the candlelight dimmed, and the two figures gradually became entangled in one place.
………………………………
Li Po and his wife have been together for many years, and they are very good at giving in to each other. Therefore, the couple has a deep relationship, and they can even have a fight to vent their anger.
But some people are not like that. They work as officials outside all year round, and their wives and children are mostly taken care of by their clan members. Then something bad happens to Yue’s family, which also affects them. So as soon as they return home, there is a quarrel at home...
