The White-haired Queen

The task of printing mathematics books and producing a printing press was given to Lin Yuanzhi.

After Wen Lanyue returned to the palace, she changed her clothes and went to the imperial study to find the little emperor.

Apart from practicing martial arts at such a young age, he spent the rest of his time either in the court giving orders on state affairs or in the imperial study studying or reviewing memorials.

He is small but has great responsibilities, and great responsibilities mean a lot of things to do. Looking at this little man, Wen Lanyue really thinks he is very capable.

In the 21st century, all walks of life are very competitive, but they are all forced and passive.

What is the purpose of living? Is it to experience the joy of life or to experience the value of life? Maybe it's both, but how many people can achieve both? Very few. Most people are making various trade-offs.

Xiao Xizi saw Wen Lanyue from afar and ran over to greet her, asking, "Is the Empress Dowager looking for the Emperor? The Emperor has a cough."

Wen Lanyue asked, "Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"

Xiao Xizi said: "The imperial physician examined him and prescribed some medicine, but the emperor didn't like it."

Wen Lanyue asked: "Why doesn't the emperor drink well?"

Xiao Xizi said, "The Emperor said that you, the Queen Mother, are angry and will never talk to him again. I tried to persuade him to go and invite you, but the Emperor would not allow me to do so."

Wen Lanyue said, "I understand. If you haven't taken the medicine, bring it to me later."

Xiao Xizi: "Okay. Then I'll let you know."

Wen Lanyue said “hmm”.

Xiao Xizi went in and out again, saying, "Empress Dowager, please go in by yourself. The Emperor is concentrating on reading the memorials, and I dare not disturb him."

Wen Lanyue walked in and found the little emperor reading a memorial seriously at the desk. He was leaning forward slightly with an extremely focused expression. He even drew on it with a pen from time to time.

Wen Lanyue sat quietly beside him as she did before, looking at him silently.

The little emperor coughed from time to time, but he did not put down the memorial, nor did he take his eyes off it. Wen Lanyue did not interrupt him, but just tilted her head and watched.

He is only 10 years old. Are the ancients really precocious? They become wise early, get married early, start a career early, and even die early. Isn't it said that it is rare for people to live to ?

Wen Lanyue looked at the thickness of the memorials in the emperor's hand. There were quite a lot of them. She estimated that it would take a while to finish them. She didn't have anything important to do, so she took a geography book from the bookshelf and began to read it quietly.

Once Wen Lanyue started reading, he forgot about time and read page after page with relish.

The sky gradually darkened. Xiao Xizi came in, lit a candle, and then quietly retreated to the door.

Little Huangdi finally finished dealing with the memorials. When he changed his posture to stretch his neck, he saw Wen Lanyue sitting beside him reading quietly. Immediately, he smiled knowingly.

It seemed that the Queen Mother was not angry with him. She was still willing to come and see him and accompany him. At this moment, he recalled the previous situation.

At that time, he was studying in the study, and Sister Yue'er would sit beside him to accompany him, watch him, or also read here.

He remembered that once the teacher asked him to recite an article on governing a country. The teacher had so many uncommon words in it that the Zhihu scholar always made him recite the first part but forget the second part, or recite the second part but forget the first part.

Then Sister Yue'er explained to him the background of the article, the meaning and logic of each sentence, and told him many allusions, allowing him to appreciate the author's wisdom. At the same time, Sister Yue'er's erudition deeply attracted him.

Another time, they went out hunting together and encountered a group of bad guys. They shot the horses first and injured the horses. Sister Yue'er and herself fell off the horses.

At that time, Sister Yue'er injured her arm and I injured my leg. Sister Yue'er carried me on her back without saying a word and ran straight to the camp.

When they arrived at the camp, Sister Yue'er asked the imperial physician to see her first. At that time, the camp was still missing a medicinal ingredient, so Sister Yue'er went to the mountain to pick herbs with her injured arm.

He felt that at that time, Sister Yue'er's eyes and heart were all about him.

But things have changed since Sister Yue'er became the Queen Mother. To be more precise, things have changed since Sister Yue'er woken up from her coma.

He couldn't tell exactly what was different.

In the past, when I acted coquettishly and cutely, Sister Yue'er would always make me the center and make me happy.

As far as I can remember, Sister Yue'er never gets angry with him.

But ever since Sister Yue'er woke up from her coma, sometimes her eyes looked strange, and he was no longer completely in her eyes.

He wanted to rest with her, but she tricked him with her words.

I asked her to draw the design for "Hengyue Shopping Mall", but there has been no news until now.

When I asked her to start a new project, she said it depends on the right time, place and people.

……

But today, Sister Yue'er was sitting quietly beside him.

He felt that he could no longer understand Sister Yue'er, and Sister Yue'er became elusive.

The little emperor held his chin and watched quietly. Sister Yue'er's face did not change, and Sister Yue'er's expression while reading did not change either...

"Cough, cough, cough..." The little emperor quickly covered his mouth with his hands, but he couldn't control his cough and couldn't stop.

Wen Lanyue raised her head, looked outside, and said, "It's getting late, let's have dinner together, and you can take cough medicine after dinner, okay?"

The little emperor nodded and asked Xiao Xizi to serve the meal.

While sitting down and waiting for the meal, Wen Lanyue took out the design draft of "Hengyue Shopping Mall" and said, "Your Majesty, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved?"

The little emperor took the blueprint and said, "Build a three-story building?"

Wen Lanyue said: "Yes, build a three-story building."

The little emperor said, "I remember that the original Liuwen Pavilion in the capital, which is now a commercial bank, is a three-story building, and the others are one or two stories. Do you think we should build a three-story building? Can we use three floors?"

Wen Lanyue said: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. At present, "travel" is not feasible in shopping malls. Then we can move food, clothing, housing and transportation into shopping malls."

"The first floor can be used for both clothing and food. The second floor can be used for special projects, such as rouge, powder, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and other elegant or luxurious things. The third floor can be used to open a hotel for people to pay to stay, where they can overlook the scenery of the capital."

The little emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's a good idea. Let Sister Yue'er take care of the construction and planning."

Wen Lanyue said: "Okay, I will give you a plan when the time comes."

The little emperor said, "Okay."

The two of them ate and chatted.

Wen Lanyue asked: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to work with me on a second or third project?"
