Chapter 415 Pride
After Xuanyuan Ling had reviewed King Huai's memorials, he began to review them.
Although there was silver in the Ministry of Revenue, the rampant corruption had always been a headache for emperors in every dynasty. After the matter was dealt with, there was no feeling that the problem had been solved and it could only be said to have come to an end.
Xuanyuan Ling thought that it was a day off tomorrow and he should have a good rest.
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling didn't have any special feelings about rest before except that he didn't have to attend court. After all, he was busy. But after getting along with Shen Qing for a few years, he felt comfortable staying with Shen Qing during rest.
Thinking about this, he asked Zhao Hai: "Has Concubine Xian woken up from her nap?"
Zhao Hai has gotten used to it. It is the Emperor who would ask the virtuous concubine what she is doing at the moment. This old servant is really used to it.
So he answered naturally: "At this time, the queen has already gotten up."
In order to make it convenient for Zhao Hai to report at any time, Zhao Hai memorized Shen Qing's schedule.
Xuanyuan Ling naturally went there as well.
Chen Qing had just woken up from his nap and was about to go out for a walk when he met Xuanyuan Ling.
Naturally, he took Xuanyuan Ling outside for a walk.
Xuanyuan Ling had just arrived and hadn't even sat down on the stool yet, but she was already asked to pull it out.
Zhao Hai followed behind and didn't dare to think about anything. He really didn't dare to think. The emperor didn't say anything to let the Concubine Xian do it. How could he take the initiative to say, "The emperor has come all the way here, why don't you let the emperor take a rest?"
Isn't this asking for death?
Xuanyuan Ling didn't think about whether to sit down or not. He wouldn't feel tired after walking a few steps, and it was not good to stay in the house all the time. After reviewing memorials all day, it would be refreshing to go out for a walk.
Chen Qing and Xuanyuan Ling were talking to each other. When they were walking to the lake, Xuanyuan Ling teased her, "Do you want to eat lotus pods again? You kept dragging me to the lake. You are so greedy."
Shen Qing looked at him unhappily: "I don't mean to eat lotus pods. This lake is very big and it's not easy to get around it."
"Yeah, it's HUST." Xuanyuan Ling laughed even when he said it to himself.
Could Shen Qing not understand what he meant? She looked at him unhappily. She didn't miss the delicious food so much, did she?
Xuanyuan Ling really laughed.
Are you still taking it too seriously?
She was arguing with him over such a small matter.
But if you really care, "I'll give you another one, no one will snatch this from you."
It seems like you like it, so I picked them all and gave them to you.
After a while, both of them found this kind of talk funny and childish. Xuanyuan Ling wanted to give it to Chen Qing but she didn't want it. However, chatting doesn't have to be serious. The atmosphere between the two of them was relaxed outside.
After relaxing, they talked about other things. As they talked, they couldn't help but mention that the matter in Jinzhou had come to an end and they had to hold a banquet. After all, the dust had settled, and they would always hold a banquet to reward meritorious officials. Xuanyuan Ling said, "Then ask Xiaoliu and the others to come along."
Of course Shen Qing had no objection.
Speaking of children, Xuanyuan Ling really has something to say. There is no need to say anything about Xiaoliu's studies. But there is one thing Xuanyuan Ling can talk to Shen Qing about: "I asked about the performance of the princes in the past few days. The teacher praised Xiaoliu to me, saying that this child is very polite."
In the past, Xiaoliu was a little proud and not polite to the teacher. Later, he worked harder and became much better, but he was not necessarily much more polite. Now he is suddenly polite, which makes Xuanyuan Ling feel like, 'Hey, this kid has grown up and become much more sensible.'
Shen Qing became interested when he heard this: "What did the teacher say?" He thought, this kid is not necessarily respectful, right? Isn't he thinking about changing his teacher behind his back?
Xuanyuan Ling naturally heard Shen Qing's disbelief.
He naturally saw how good Shen Qing was to Xiao Liu. She was serious about Xiao Liu and always believed in the child. Now she was just being respectful to the teacher. Why didn't she believe it?
Xuanyuan Ling still didn't know the truth about why Xiaoliu suddenly studied hard. Seeing that he felt a little sorry for Xiaoliu because of her disbelief, Chen Qing decided not to tell him.
It is conducive to cultivating the relationship between father and son.
As expected, Xuanyuan Ling said, "Xiao Liu has changed a lot outside, but it's not obvious in front of you, which is also a good thing."
Look, she doesn't believe it, so Xuanyuan Ling starts to feel sorry for Xiaoliu in front of her, thinking that you haven't noticed the child's progress and that the child is good in every way.
Xuanyuan Ling really felt sorry for the child. Xiaoliu was not only diligent in his studies, but his character was also pleasing to Xuanyuan Ling. Take tracing for example, if he made a mistake in one character, he would study it on his own and would never make the same mistake a second time. Xuanyuan Ling was amazed at the child's patience and perseverance. It is said that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different, and he does not have nine sons. But he thought, since they are all his sons, is it because their mothers have different sons?
And Shen Qing still felt that there was a reason for Xiaoliu's sudden change. At this moment, Xiaoliu was not here, so he asked Xuanyuan Ling casually: "What has he learned now?"
Xuanyuan Ling said, "Nothing more than that. However, the other day when I asked him about his homework, he specifically asked me about the story that Master said: knowing yourself and your enemy means you can win every battle. I saw that he listened carefully and had quite some insights after finishing it."
Shen Qing: “…”
Seeing Xuanyuan Ling's proud look on Xiaoliu's face, she really couldn't bear to tell him that in order to replace the master, her son's character has really reached a new level. He knows how to bide his time. Well, if we can't win, let's not fight and learn first. This is the second stage after the initial period when he thought he would soon surpass the master.
