At the end of the day, Cao Xiuyuan came to Baoci Hall with his adopted daughter Danshu.
"I've met the eldest lady."
Here, Cao Xiuyuan had just saluted, and Xiao Danshu on the side immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu E respectfully.
"Goodbye, Madam!"
"Get up quickly."
Seeing this scene, Liu E walked up to Xiao Danshu with a smile on her face, leaned over and helped her up.
Then, she carefully looked at the little man in front of her, and when she saw little Danshu's handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth, the smile on Liu E's face became even brighter.
Although the little lady is not as beautiful as the Wang family's daughter in Shu, she is still pretty and tight.
The most important thing is that the young lady of the Cao family is a daughter of a famous family, and her birth alone makes her a thousand miles away from the Wang family in Shu.
At Liu E's age, she knows very well that beauty ages quickly, and no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she cannot compete with time.
Are you beautiful?
When you are old and golden, there will always be someone more beautiful than you!
Liu E knows this very well. In fact, when Liu E was young, she was not particularly good-looking.
Of course, beauty must be beautiful, but she definitely does not rely on beauty to win.
What she relies on is her agility, her quality and her heart.
To put it another way, it can also be said to be scheming.
On the other side, Xiao Danshu felt very uneasy at this time. Although Liu E seemed very kind, she had to move her energy and nourish her body.
No matter how kind Liu E behaves, she can't be treated as normal.
The person in front of me is the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty.
Liu E pulled Xiao Danshu to the side with a pleasant look, and then took her to sit on the couch together.
"What has Danshu been studying recently?"
Xiao Danshu said solemnly with a sullen face.
"I've been studying "Spring and Autumn" recently."
Hearing this, Liu E's eyes flashed with surprise.
Spring and Autumn?
Generally speaking, boys from official families did not start reading "Spring and Autumn" and other historical books until they were nine years old.
After all, "Spring and Autumn" is very obscure and has many editions. Without a certain foundation, it is difficult to read through this book.
How old is Xiao Danshu this year?
A little over six years old, right?
As for why little Danshu didn't read books like "The Analects of Confucius", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "Nv's Commandments", and "The Biography of Women".
Liu E was not surprised at all, because most of the current trends are like this.
The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty system, and also inherited certain customs, such as the scholarly family background and the education methods of children of scholar-bureaucrats' families.
The families of scholar-bureaucrats in the Tang and early Song Dynasties did not strictly restrict women's right to study in accordance with the orthodox Confucian ideas of women's education.
Studying and working as a female are almost equally important.
Like the men in their families, many women have studied since childhood, either at home or in the clan.
Of course, the content of women's reading is indeed different from that of men. They don't just read the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, women's religion, poetry, history books, various schools of thought, etc. They can choose based on their interests.
"Can you read through it?"
Although Liu E did not have the conditions to study when she was young, she had the opportunity for re-education when she entered the Han Palace (Zhenzong).
Especially when Liu E was fostered in Zhang Qi's home, she had a lot of space to be alone. That period of time was also the period of greatest improvement for her.
(PS: After Liu E entered the Han Dynasty, Zhenzong was very obsessed with it. Then Zhenzong’s wet nurse couldn’t stand it and secretly reported the matter to Taizong.
When Taizong heard that his son was smitten by a woman from Shu of unknown origin, he became angry and ordered Liu E to be expelled from Prince Han's palace.
The cowardly Zhenzong did not dare to disobey his father's orders and had no choice but to obey his orders. However, he really couldn't bear to leave Liu E, so he fostered Liu E in the home of Zhang Qi, the commander of the royal palace.
It was not until Zhenzong came to the throne that Liu E was welcomed into the palace by Zhenzong, and they were together openly and openly.
Little Xingxing secretly guessed that if Taizong had not issued an edict to expel Liu E, maybe Liu E would not be able to become the queen or queen mother in the future.
Zhenzong may be a little rebellious in his heart. After all, the War God of the Song Dynasty has too much power. His nephew will kill him whenever he wants, and his eldest son will kill him whenever he wants. Who dares to disobey him?
Under such high pressure, it is normal for Zhenzong to be a little rebellious. Of course, he will definitely not do it openly)
Xiao Danshu frowned slightly and said with a troubled expression.
"It's a little difficult."
Hearing this, Liu E smiled slightly, then turned to look at Cao Xiuyuan.
"I like this child very much. I can let her come to Baocidian more in the future. If I have time, I can also give her lessons."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Xiuyuan instantly stood up from the chair, bowed slightly and said.
"It is Danshu's blessing to be liked by the Queen Mother. I thank the Queen Mother for her grace."
At the same time, little Danshu also jumped down from the couch and kowtowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Madam, for your grace."
On the other side, Mrs. Xu saw this scene and immediately sounded the alarm in her heart.
This little lady from the Cao family is so powerful.
Mrs. Xu has not forgotten her daughter, although the eldest lady had vaguely hinted before that she might adopt Xinhe.
But it's just a hint, maybe it will change one day.
If the little lady of the Cao family gets more love, won't her daughter get less love?
what to do?
Xu's thoughts changed rapidly, but what could she do if she came from a humble background?
Mrs. Cao is the real Cao of the Cao family. There is a huge difference between the Miao family and the Cao family. This cannot be solved by a few thoughts.
At this moment, Liu E did not notice the change in Xu's expression.
To say the least, even if she noticed it, it didn't matter to her.
The Cao family had just made a great contribution to the Song Dynasty. If they don't express it now, how long can they wait?
…
…
…
Three days later.
Li Jie heard about the young lady of the Cao family. The young lady of the Cao family went to Baoci Palace for three days in a row. Apparently, the eldest lady liked this girl very much.
That's fine too.
With two people accompanying her, Liu E would not be too lonely in her later years.
Thinking of this, Li Jie suddenly thought of Li Shuyi who was still guarding the mausoleum, although compared to the past, the recent rewards were more.
But the area over the imperial mausoleum is deserted, and living there all the time is not the same thing.
In one to two years, let's find an opportunity to take her back.
Here, Li Jie thought of Li Shuyi, and over there, in the Bao Ci Hall, Liu E, who was teaching Cao Danshu, suddenly thought of his biological mother.
In recent days, Liu E once again experienced the joy of being at Cheng Huan's knees.
Occasionally teasing the infant Xinhe, and occasionally teaching the clever little Danshu, there was a lot of laughter and joy in the Baoci Hall.
As a result, Liu E's mind became much more cheerful.
It was precisely this happiness that reminded her of Li Shuyi. Apart from the people guarding the mausoleum, there were almost no people around.
Moreover, due to her status, Li Shuyi could not move around, and her daily activities were limited to that small hall.
