Lihua could understand why neither the Queen Mother nor Yuchi Gong could let go of King Anding's death after four years.
That period of heavy and gloomy history is unforgettable, how could I let it go so easily?
But go find the monster? Comfort him and accompany him?
Lihua wasn't sure, she didn't know if the monster needed it.
Sometimes people need to be alone to vent the pain in their hearts, savor the taste of life, and learn to let go slowly.
The Queen Mother chants sutras and prays behind closed doors, but monsters also need time and fear to be alone and quietly release their suppressed grief.
Lihua understands this feeling very well. After her mother died, she didn't need comfort or sympathy. She just wanted to be alone and think about nothing.
So she won't think that she is doing anything carelessly, as that would be harmful to the evildoer.
Thinking about this, Lihua opened the door and wanted to walk in the yard to relieve the boredom in her heart.
Tonight, Xiao Zuozi was on duty outside. When he heard the sound, he came over and asked, "Master, what do you want?"
Lihua walked out of the door and shook her head: "If you can't sleep, get up and take a walk."
"Oh, then I will accompany you."
Lihua thought it was a good idea, so she nodded, and she walked forward, followed by Xiao Zuozi.
Now Tingliyuan has long lost its previous desolation. Many weeds have been removed, flowers and trees have been planted, and palace lanterns are lighting up both sides of the road. It is not as dark as before.
Lihua chatted: "How did you learn from those arithmetic books?"
"I've read half of it," Xiao Zuozi replied.
Lihua used to think that the little eunuch Xiao Zuozi was a heartless weirdo, but now she thinks he is even more alien.
Other little eunuchs like gold and silver, but little Zhengzi doesn't.
When he was in Qunfang Hall, he liked to do the Jiu Zhang arithmetic exercises, and no beautiful girl could pass him.
Every time she got the exercises, the little eunuch was overjoyed. Of course, this was Lihua's reaction.
Because Xiao Zuozi is so careless, he always looks extremely calm.
But Lihua just knew that he was very happy, because later when people wanted to reward him, they wanted the exercise book.
The story goes like this: two young eunuchs, Xiao Zuozi and Xiao Shunzi, came to Tingliyuan at Chuchu and intimidated the concubines in the harem for Lihua, so that no one came to harass her during that period.
Later, Su Siru tied up Lu Jieyu, and it was the two young eunuchs who took the blame.
As well as the tasks assigned to them, they were all done very well and beautifully without compromise at all.
Lihua gradually accepted them, began to feel sorry for them, and wanted to reward them.
It was at that time that Xiao Zuozi suddenly said that he didn't want anything, he had enough money, and he just wanted some more exercise books to do.
As soon as these words came out, the entire west wing of Tingli Courtyard was shocked.
Zhichun opened her mouth, looking like a fool. She had seen those exercises before, and she felt dizzy just looking at them. Wasn't the little boy looking for abuse?
Zhidong didn't know what exercises were. When Zhichun explained them to her, she was speechless and shook her head. It was so scary.
At that time, Lihua thought to herself, this little eunuch is really unique and unprecedented, and the reward is actually an exercise book.
If a modern primary school student had received an exercise question as a gift, he would probably have cried loudly on the spot, and would have hated the gift-giver throughout his childhood.
Looking at this weird little kid, he is really interested in arithmetic.
Then Lihua must support her. Maybe this little eunuch will become a genius.
So Lihua used her identity to go to the library and borrow some books related to arithmetic from him.
Of course, the money that should be rewarded in the end is indispensable. It is her aim to gain something for her hard work.
Now Lihua asked with concern: "Can everyone understand it?"
Little Zhuozi scratched his head: "I don't understand some of them, but I'm thinking about them."
Lihua secretly thought that this boy has a spirit of research and is very good. Interest is indeed the best teacher.
She said: "If you have any questions, you can come to me later to sort it out together."
If an ordinary slave heard his master say this, he would definitely burst into tears, but the little boy didn't react much and just nodded.
But Lihua knew that he had listened to her heart, but she just lacked the strength.
After getting along for a while, I probably understand almost all his temperaments.
The two of them were chatting and walking aimlessly.
Lihua suddenly remembered: "Hey, where did Wu Xue go?"
Looking up not far away, I saw two small round lanterns twinkling in the center of the yard, which were particularly conspicuous at night.
Wu Xue's nest was moved out and placed under a small tree in the yard. It has not been moved back yet.
Ever since Lihua coaxed him into saying that the cat had to sleep alone even when he was older, Wu Xue was very proactive and self-conscious as Yu Chigong said.
Lihua saw that there was only a white jade table in it, and she looked at the four walls of the house. No, that is not appropriate to say, it was shabby without any walls.
Although the white jade table and the brocade covering on it were luxurious, standing alone in the yard still gave off a nondescript feeling of abjection.
So Lihua asked someone to build a small roof on its white jade table, which barely looked like the same thing.
At this moment, Lihua smiled when she saw the flickering little lantern. She knew it was Wu Xue looking this way.
She recalled that she and Zhichun went to the main hall to hide something one night, when Wu Xue came in, making them think it was haunted, and they were shocked.
After laughing, Lihua suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was Wu Xue still not sleeping so late? Are you blinking like a night owl?
Moreover, she and Xiao Zuozi had been gone for a while, and Wu Xue found out why they didn't come over. Normally, they would come and wander around whenever they saw her.
It shouldn’t be!
Is it sick?
Looking at the situation, Wu Xue was lying on her stomach, which had not changed since she found out.
Lihua's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly walked over, and finally started running.
Her movement of running startled the two small lanterns.
Wu Xue, who was originally lying on her stomach, raised her ears and listened alertly. She felt relieved when she felt that there was nothing unusual around her.
Seeing that Lihua looked anxious, he stood up and quickly rushed to Lihua with his fleshy paws.
Then he stopped and looked up at Lihua in confusion.
Lihua didn't stop until it was near, and she quickly squatted down to check on it, and found that everything was fine.
She rubbed the furry cat's head angrily: "Maoqiu, you scared me to death just now. I thought something was wrong with you."
She thought something had happened.
Wu Xue let out a low "oow" and rubbed it against Lihua's palm. The cat looked very listless.
Something was wrong with Pear Blossom. Wu Xue looked very strange, completely different from her usual energetic self.
She became nervous and asked: "Is something uncomfortable? You ate less for dinner today than usual. Is it because your stomach is uncomfortable?"
During dinner, she felt that Wu Xue was a little wilted, but she had something in mind and saw that Wu Xue was doing everything as usual except that he ate a little less, so she wasn't too distracted.
