Gu Siyuan glanced at the shelves full of books in the study and nodded.After Zhong Liran settled her down, he sat in front of the desk, spread out the rice paper in front of the desk, and took a pen to finish the thesis assigned by the Taifu yesterday.

Seeing her start to write, Gu Siyuan also got up and walked around the study.She went to the bookshelf in the room, took a closer look, and found an isolated copy written by the Xia Dynasty before Chu State, so she carefully reached out and pulled the scroll out of the bookshelf.She just leaned against the bookshelf, holding the lonely volume carefully and reading slowly.

After watching for a while, Zhong Li, who was holding a pen behind her, suddenly spoke, calling: "Gu Siyuan..."

Gu Siyuan replied subconsciously, "Yes", Zhong Liran continued: "What is the way of the king?"

Gu Siyuan held the book and read it intently.Zhong Liran thought she hadn't heard, and just wanted to give up, but saw Gu Siyuan slowly put away the scroll, fixed his eyes on Zhong Liran, and replied: "Emperor Wenkang said: 'The way of being a king must first preserve the people. If you harm the people in order to serve yourself, it is like cutting your thighs and eating your belly, and you will die when your stomach is full.'”

"As the saying goes, being respectful and frugal, being generous and caring for the people is exactly what it is. The late Emperor and your father are both such masters."

"This is one of the ways of the king, which is the heart of the king and the philosophy that should always be implemented."

Zhong Liran nodded and asked her, "What about Er?"

Gu Siyuan said: "The second is to accept advice and accept advice from the virtuous. This is the means to implement the monarchy, and it is also the place where the emperor's art needs to be pondered all his life."

Zhong Liran nodded, and asked her again: "It's very easy to say, it's all in the book, but it didn't tell me how to appoint talents. Tell me, what should I do?"

Gu Siyuan glanced at her, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty said that there are books, so read more books. The king accepts advice, and if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark."

"The choice of a talented person is not based on what he says, but what he does."

"Some courtiers are as eloquent as a lotus, but they don't handle things well. Some courtiers are clumsy in tongue, but they do things neatly. Talents who can speak well and do things well are rare. However, it led to deception."

When Gu Siyuan talked to her in detail, Zhong Liran picked up his pen and nodded slightly.After hearing these words, she turned her head and said to Gu Siyuan: "I'm done asking, you can continue reading."

Seeing that she really didn't ask any more questions, Gu Siyuan carefully spread out the scroll in his hand and read it slowly.

She is extremely focused on reading, which Zhong Liran has known since she was a child.Zhong Liran had written half of the theory, and saw that she was still leaning on the bookshelf to read, so he softly called the servant waiting outside the door.

The waiters came in, Zhong Liran gave them some instructions, and after a while, the waiters came in with new tables and chairs.The table case was placed facing Zhong Liran's book case, with melons, fruits and refreshments on it, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Zhong Liran was very satisfied with this, and called Gu Siyuan twice.After the third sound, Gu Siyuan came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at Zhong Liran, and looked at her with some doubts.

Zhong Liran waved at her as usual, pointed to the table in front of him and said, "Sit here."

Gu Siyuan moved his legs from the bookshelf to the desk.She is a true bookworm. When she sees a book she has never seen before, she can hardly walk. This person was like this when she was a child. She said that she took her to practice calligraphy together, but after reading it, she just held her book by the side. Thinking about it.

Zhong Liran was often ignored by her, and she was used to it.Seeing that Gu Siyuan was addicted to watching, she didn't bother her anymore, so she concentrated on writing her own theory.

After finishing writing, Zhong Liran didn't show it to Gu Siyuan. Instead, he opened the thick book on the desk and read it slowly.

Zhong Liran is talented and intelligent, but he is also a half-grown child, and his knowledge is not as wide as that of Gu Siyuan.When I turned to something I didn't understand in the book, I called Gu Siyuan.

When Gu Siyuan reads a book, he usually has to yell several times before he makes any movement. Zhong Liran sees that she should not respond, so he stretches out his small arm, lays down on the table, pokes Gu Siyuan's hand lightly with the book, and calls her: "Gu Siyuan... ..."

Going back and forth, the number of times was too many, Gu Siyuan, who was stunned by the book, grabbed Zhong Liran's book and asked, "What's the matter, Mai Mai?"

Zhong Liran didn't move for a moment, she squinted her eyes slightly on the table, and looked at Gu Siyuan without a word.

Gu Siyuan hadn't heard the question for a long time, finally moved his eyes away from the book, looked at Zhong Liran, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Liran kept a stern face, stared at Gu Siyuan with fierce eyes, and said, "What did you call me just now, Gu Siyuan?"

Gu Siyuan was a little baffled, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty?"

Zhong Liran chuckled, gritted his teeth and reminded, "Sisi!"

Gu Siyuan suddenly realized that he must have accidentally called her "Mai Mai", so he quickly said: "Please forgive me for my recklessness, and don't care about me."

All the awkwardness in Zhong Liran's body disappeared when she gave in so humbly.She snorted, poked Gu Siyuan with a book, and said: "Next time, I will punish you for disrespect."

Gu Siyuan nodded and said yes.But I thought in my heart, obviously you called yourself Maimai when you were a child, but when you grow up, you won't be called by others. It's true that the face of a child is more changeable than the sky in June.

Gu Siyuan sighed, deeply feeling that the road ahead was boundless.

The author has something to say: ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Chapter 11 II.5

Going westward day by day, Gu Siyuan also moved his thoughts away from the lonely book.She looked up, but saw that Zhong Liran had finished writing the policy and was at the desk correcting the memorial.

It was getting late, Gu Siyuan turned his head and glanced out the window, pursed his lips and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, I should go back."

Zhong Liran heard her speak like this, looked up at her, and said, "You don't need to go back." Gu Siyuan was extremely surprised when he heard this, and gave a light surprise.Seeing this, Zhong Liran put down the memorial in his hand, and said solemnly: "Gu Siyuan, until the two months before my birthday, you have to stay with me in the palace."

Zhong Liran was born in midsummer, and she will be 12 years old in two more months. After the 12-year-old birthday ceremony, the emperor and queen's wedding immediately followed.Gu Siyuan didn't expect Zhong Liran's plan at all, and was a little speechless for a while, and after a long pause, he said in surprise: "This is not in line with etiquette."

Zhong Liran glanced at her, held a memorial and said softly: "You are the empress who is about to get married, so what's wrong with staying in the palace to learn etiquette? What's more, this is the order of the empress dowager, and I have already ordered someone to go to you. The family brought you a change of clothes. To be safe, you should stay in the palace for these two months."

Gu Siyuan didn't reply, Zhong Liran looked away from the book, glanced at her carefully, and said hesitantly, "Why, you don't want to stay with me in the palace?"

Gu Siyuan smiled helplessly, and said: "Weichen didn't live at home for a few days, and His Majesty took me to the palace. What do Weichen's parents think?"

Zhong Liran said: "But the palace will be very safe." She leaned closer to Gu Siyuan, and there was a rare smile in those big black and white eyes, "Besides, I still have many lonely copies."

She has been like this since she was a child, and she is completely able to prescribe the right medicine.Gu Siyuan couldn't help it, she just smiled and said, "Where does the humble minister live?"

Zhong Liran was very indifferent, and replied: "There are countless palaces here, you can live wherever you want. However, you have to stay with me and live in Chen Palace."

The Chen Palace is the residence of the emperor, and the emperors of Chu State have always lived here.Upon hearing this, Gu Siyuan glanced at Zhong Liran, but did not speak.

Zhong Liran didn't care what she thought, and just said: "I'm going to go to court at noon, and you will learn palace etiquette with the female officer next to your grandmother. If it's very hard, just tell me that you can just learn it casually. You just have to spend more time with grandma."

"At noon, I will come over to have dinner with my grandmother, and you will be with me, and then I will read books with me like today. In the evening, I will go to the school grounds, and you will go to have dinner with my grandmother."

"At night, I will follow me back to Chen Palace and teach me how to learn. How about it?"

What else could be done, Gu Siyuan only felt that her day was clearly arranged by her.She was a little helpless and said, "Your Majesty, don't you have your own tutor?"

Zhong Liran took it for granted, and said: "The Taifu is not as useful as my queen." She finished reading the memorial in her hand, got up, twisted her neck slightly, and said to Gu Siyuan: "Gu Siyuan, have you finished reading your book? ?”

Gu Siyuan looked up at her, and said: "After reading it, Your Majesty wants to go out?"

Zhong Liran nodded and said, "It's not tall when you sit. I want to go out for a walk, so you can follow me." She didn't intend to discuss with Gu Siyuan at all, and she walked out of the desk and walked towards Gu Siyuan Stretched out his hand.

Gu Siyuan handed over her hand, and she led her out of the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

At that time, the setting sun was reflected on the eaves of the palace, and bright golden light quietly flowed on the glazed tiles.Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan through the long palace corridor, starting from Weiyang Palace, walked from east to west, made a big circle, and told Gu Siyuan the names of the palaces in detail.
