16. The story of raising a good daughter-in-law (please vote and invest)

"Your Highness," Wang Quan smiled and changed his words, "Brother Qi'er, Da'er has something to tell me."

"Well," Liu Qi looked at Wang Con's smile, revealing the pearly white and shiny tips of her teeth, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her face, "What's wrong with Con'er?"

"My son wants to go to Jiaofang Palace to accompany his mother and fulfill his filial piety for His Highness..."

"Accompanying your mother?" Liu Qi frowned, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"The Queen Mother is too lonely alone. The Imperial Sister cannot accompany her all the time, and His Highness is busy with official duties... Con'er's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she cannot properly serve Brother Qi'er..."

"As long as I see Conner..."

"Your Highness!" Wang Quan's tears were shining, "Con'er knows the love of brother Qi'er. Don't you know, Your Highness, that spoiling a child is like killing a child? Bao'er has not yet been born... Brother Qi'er's special favor also makes Con'er enemies.

ah!"

"Filial piety, loyalty and trust are the teachings held by the royal family. I am willing to practice it personally, set an example for the world, and serve the mother and queen on behalf of Your Highness!" Wang Ao said that she was about to bow down and salute, and Liu Qi hurriedly supported her.

"It's approved by Gu Ying. I'm afraid there will be a lot of rules when I go to Jiaofang Palace. You have to serve your mother carefully and take good care of yourself and Bao'er. Gu will often visit you and Bao'er!"

Is the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law inherently irreconcilable?

Yes! It has been since ancient times! At least, it was before BC!

How can any young daughter-in-law be willing to live with the domineering mother-in-law? She is rushing to be repaired! Not to mention a blind mother-in-law + a substitute mother-in-law (Mama Zhang)? This is putting two tight curses on herself!

Wang Quan immediately felt that moving to Jiaofang Palace was a wrong decision made on the forehead! No wonder the prince told him that Jiaofang Palace had many rules! The so-called "distant fragrance and near smell" is also called "distance produces beauty".

Generation gap, generation gap! This generation gap is not only between Jiaofang Hall and Chongfang Pavilion, but also between BC and the 21st century! Not only in age, but also in habits! Not only... but also... alas!

"Empress Liangdi..." Xue'er cried with tears in her eyes, "Mother Zhang scolded me again..."

"Xue'er, be good, don't cry," Wang Quan comforted, "Just don't laugh in front of Grandma Zhang from now on!"

"This Aunt Zhang! She always wants to train us to be like her," Zhen'er complained. "We can't go with the master, we can only follow behind with our heads down! We can't joke with the empress, we can only say yes, yes

, Okay, my servant knows! You can’t play or eat together with your empress, and you can’t be indistinguishable between superior and inferior!"

"But we are in Chongfang Pavilion, and we play together all the time!" Xueer cried again, "Empress, can we go back? It's so uncomfortable here! The moths flying out of the cocoon room are scary to death! Aunt Zhang

He even scolded me and beat the silkworm moth to death!"

"My wife uses a toothbrush in the morning and evening. Aunt Zhang said that she uses a stick to stir it in her mouth, which destroys all the blessings in her mouth! What can you eat if your teeth and tongue are not enough?!" Xue'er's words made her herself

They all made them laugh again.

"Hmm~ um~" Wang Quan covered his face, unable to laugh or cry. The flag of filial piety, loyalty and trust had been set, and he could only hold it high to the end!

"Good sister," Wang Quan begged, "just bear with it! Now that we are here, we have to leave before the nest is warm. What do the queen and the prince think of us? Jiaofang Palace is not our back garden. We want to come after a walk.

Just come and leave whenever you want!"

"Zhen'er, I'm so hungry and greedy!" Wang Quan looked at Zhen'er and said, "I'm going to find if there is anything to eat. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year to worship Taoist ancestors, and they are both vegetarian. I'm hungry and greedy!"

Zhen'er waved her hands in fear: "Your Majesty, please spare this servant! There are too many rules in Jiaofang Palace!"

She had no choice but to give up. Wang Quan held her face in her hands and imagined the scene of making skewers: big barbecued skewers with red willow branches, sizzling with oil and fragrant, sprinkled with cumin and chili... Silkworm chrysalis, fried to a crisp, sizzling with oil after taking a bite...

Mmm~~ High protein, so delicious!

"Empress Liangdi!"

Awakened by Aunt Zhang's stern cry, Wang Quan quickly stood up from the table!

"Your Majesty! Sit upright and be measured!" Aunt Zhang said with a straight face. She had already taught Wang Quan several times about sitting on the desk.

"What I taught you is this! A pregnant mother sits upright, like holding a precious jade; it tastes thin but is not full..." Wang Quan repeated Grandma Zhang's nagging.

"The Empress asked her maid to invite Wang Liangdi to read the Tao Te Ching with her." Grandma Zhang's salute was standard, extremely respectful and serious. She stood up and looked at Zhen'er Xue'er, meaning - you have to learn from me.

!

Reading "Tao Te Ching"? Small case!

Holding her pregnant belly in her hands, Wang Quan followed Nanny Zhang to Queen Dou's desk with gestures.

Spreading out the bamboo slips on the case, Wang Quan was dumbfounded!

This ghost-like character is written in small seal script? Official script? Oracle? Hieroglyphics? It’s engraved!

She couldn't help but admire the ancients. If you dare to write, you must first learn seal cutting! If the professional paper she published was more than 8,000 words, it would take several years to use bamboo slips to carve it? How to carve charts? How to carve coordinates?

"Wang Liangdi, would you like to read it to me?" Queen Dou stood upright, waiting to listen.

Although I traveled back in time, I gradually learned that the Western Han Dynasty used bamboo slips and silk books, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. The characters were mostly small seal script or Han Li, but I didn't know these characters seriously.

"The Tao can be said, but it is very Tao; the name can be named, but it is very famous..." Wang Quan rolled her eyes and dug out these two sentences from her memory. What was next? She held the bamboo slips and was embarrassed.

"The nameless beginning of heaven and earth is the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, I always have no desire to observe its wonderfulness; I always have desire to observe its beauty..." Empress Dou continued.

It turns out that her blind mother-in-law had already memorized the Tao Te Ching!

"Mother, wait a minute!" Wang Quan called out hurriedly, "Zhen'er, bring me a pen!" She wanted to write down the scriptures that Queen Dou had memorized and read them by comparing them with the inscriptions on the bamboo slips.

Zhen'er came over with pens, ink and bamboo slips.

Wang Quan looked at the bamboo piece and the brush, and pushed the bamboo piece aside wisely. This brush became a black pimple when she touched it! How could the bamboo piece accommodate her splashing ink?

The 21st century is an era when calligraphy disappears. She can type twenty or thirty words per minute, but writing with hard pen is like a chicken scratching a dog, let alone writing with a brush. Sweat!

With an idea, Wang Quan took off her outer garment and spread it on the table.

"Mother, my child didn't learn the Tao Te Ching well..." she said shyly, "but my child is determined to learn. My mother has studied it carefully and experienced it, and my attainments are profound. I also asked my mother to explain it word for word, and my child will understand every word!"

No matter how hard you wear it, you will never wear it! Queen Dou nodded her head in approval and started speaking with a smile. Aunt Zhang also smiled happily.

So, under the dumbfounded gazes of Nanny Zhang and Zhen'er Xueer, Wang Quan started her ghost painting...

What is this word? Big head and small feet!

What kind of character is this? The strokes are hollow and have rough edges!

What is this word? There is a black bump on the head!

How is this written? From left to right, horizontally...

Queen Dou talked until her saliva dried up.

Wang Quan's outer clothes are also full of words.

"Empress, Empress Liangdi," Madam Zhang said respectfully, "it's time to take a rest!"

A palace maid came over with tea.

Putting down the writing brush and drinking tea, Wang Quan looked at the writing on the outer garment, which was full of different shades of light and only the words he recognized. He felt a little proud and a little ashamed.

"娡'er," Empress Dou was obviously very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and also called her affectionately, "Study seriously every day, and you will soon understand the essence of it."

"Yes! Queen Mother. If you follow the Queen Mother, you will start well. The Queen Mother is Zhilan, and the child is a mountain flower. You need to borrow the fragrance of Zhilan from the Queen Mother!" Wang Quan continued to take pictures.

The three views are the same, everything is harmonious! The belief of Queen Dou, a female domineering boss, is the "Tao Te Ching". It is always right to stand with the right person. After all, this blind mother-in-law wants to dominate the three dynasties of Wen, Jing and Wu! Let's give it to Dou Dou.

Always be a secretary to the board of directors!

Thinking of this, Wang Quan said passionately: "Mother, the child has already written the scriptures on his outer garment. The child will definitely study day and night one after another!"

"Mother, my child is here to pay my respects!" Liu Qi came in and asked, "What should I learn from you?"

Seeing Wang Quan's face, Liu Qi couldn't help laughing!

Aunt Zhang and the palace maids, who had endured it for a long time, were all laughing so hard!

Wang Quan looked at them inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?" Queen Dou asked repeatedly.

"Mother, Con'er..." Liu Qi wiped Wang Con's face and said happily, "Con'er's face is smeared with ink like a little cat!"

Queen Dou couldn't help laughing when she heard everyone's laughter.

This Jiaofang Palace hasn’t had such happy laughter in many years...
