Chapter 10 Cute Little Princess
Xu Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty's comments on every word are exquisite. I just think they look good, but they are slightly different from other families, but I can't tell you this."
His Majesty Li Er was a little proud, and stroked his beard and smiled, "Xiao Lang is not bad, he is still young, so he is innovative. Well, I will give him a volume of 'Given the original works' so that he can copy and practice it well!"
"I thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of my husband." Xu Hui put his clothes on his back and bowed.
His Majesty Li Er loves calligraphy and collects works by famous artists and collects them in the inner palace.
Since the original works of the inner palace cannot be circulated outside, His Majesty Li Er often uses the hard yellow couch technology of "the original works are the first-class" to reward the ministers.
In ancient times, being able to receive rewards from the emperor was a major event that would bring honor to the ancestors. Xu Hui was naturally happy for his younger brother, and he felt that it was also a choice to enter the officialdom by calligraphy.
As for the great cause of being appointed and promoted to the title that Xu Qilin mentioned, Xu Hui didn't care at all. He just thought that his younger brother was still young and thought things were simple and naive.
I don’t know what new things I made, so I felt that I could win the favor of His Majesty and rise to the top.
Speaking of which, His Majesty Li Er is good at calligraphy, loves calligraphy, and values calligraphers, but he does not stick to the rules.
On the one hand, he "has deep down his mind and imitated the Right Army", and on the other hand, he also carried forward his style of "not following the rules, graceful and elegant, vigorous and beautiful, bright and smooth", and paid attention to the strength and momentum of calligraphy.
It is also true that His Majesty Li Er still appreciates Xu Qilin's innovative regular script, and does not demand its shortcomings.
As the two were talking, Princess Jinyang jumped in and rushed into His Majesty Li Er's arms, and said in a sweet voice: "Father, I can shake the bells, can I shake it for you now?"
His Majesty Li Er took the veil and wiped the sweat from his beloved daughter's forehead with a doting look. He said with a smile: "The father has just seen it, and the whiskers are buzzing, which is really amazing."
After receiving praise from his father, Yizi smiled happily, and mischievously pulled the beautiful beard under his father's jaw.
His Majesty Li Er touched his beloved daughter's pink face, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her, she said, "But Isn't Tsubasa, don't play too much, so don't be tired."
Princess Jinyang blinked her big and round eyes and said, "But Xu Xiaolang said that regular exercise can make her physical fitness stronger. She also said that it is said that physical fitness will be cured by illness."
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is not wrong, but the key is to be moderate, so you can't be tired!"
Princess Jinyang lit her little head and said, "The Master said: Too much is not enough. Don't worry, Father, if you understand this principle, you will not be lazy or tired."
"Your Highness the Princess is very smart, and she is very right." Xu Hui couldn't help but praise.
His Majesty Li Er gently looked at his head and showed a proud look on his face. He looked like he was saying: If he didn’t look at his daughter, how could he not be smart?
At this moment, the Princess Xincheng was also carried by the wet nurse and walked over.
After Empress Wende's death, King Li Zhi of Jin and Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang were young and lonely. His Majesty Li Er made a shocking move and personally raised two young children.
Princess Xincheng was also born to Empress Wende, and she is the youngest, and His Majesty Li Er is also very fond of her.
You should know that when Princess Xincheng was eight years old, she would be granted the title of Princess Hengshan County. This not only broke the Tang Dynasty's convention that "all famous mountains, rivers and counties in Dachuan and Jin'an County must not be granted", but also obtained the title of real title early.
However, Princess Xincheng was too young, and His Majesty Li Er did not raise him personally like he did to Jinyang and King Jin, but arranged him to be taken care of by the wet nurse elsewhere.
"Father, Father." Princess Xincheng shouted in a silence when she saw her father, twisted her little body in the wet nurse's arms, stretched out her little hand and begged for a hug.
His Majesty Li Er smiled even more happily, and reached out to take Xincheng, with one leg, and both daughters sat on their thighs.
The Princess Xincheng giggled, raised the new toy in her hand and showed it to her father.
"Ah, this is a rabbit." His Majesty Li Er looked at this strange thing and could tell what it was from his long ears.
"Rabbit, Rabbit. Help you, help you." The Princess Xincheng grinned, her chubby and pink face was so simple that she was so cute.
Yizi reached out and touched her, with a full face of love, and introduced to her father: "This is a toy brought by Xiao Zhao. She said that this rabbit is called Bonnie. She also said that she would give me one next time she came."
"Oh, the rabbit has a name, what's the name - 'Help you'?" His Majesty Li Er found it funny, but he was even more happy with Jinyang's character that he did not compete with his sister.
Looking at the expression and eyes, you will know that Jinyang also likes this rabbit toy called "Help You". But when there was only one, she was willing to give it to her young girl.
He patted Jinyang's little hand very much, and His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Let the palace servants do this for Yizi now, this is 'help you'. It will take several days until Xiao Zhao enters the palace again?"
How could Xu Hui not think of this method? But after all, she still wanted her sister to be like the princess. After all, she smiled and said nothing.
Jinyang immediately clapped his hands, smiled happily, and reached out to measure his hands, "That rhizome is bigger than this one, so it will definitely be comfortable to hold it while sleeping."
"Okay, let's get bigger." His Majesty Li Er thought of his daughter losing her mother so much. At night, a little man slept on the big bed. He couldn't help but feel sad and agreed to his daughter's request without any trouble.
"Big, big." The Princess Xincheng was not speaking smoothly, but she also knew how toys were needed.
"Big, as big as the new city." His Majesty Li Er hugged each other with one hand. These two daughters were his treasures, and he would pick them even if he wanted Xingxing.
…………………
The weather is clear and the south wind blows, and a heat wave rolls up from the hot ground, making people feel a little suffocating.
Xu Qilin was sweating all over his head when he saw a forest in front of him, and hurried to the shade of the trees. The fan in his hand shook quickly, dispelling the heat of the summer.
The land farm is considered the land of the Xu family. Forty or fifty miles away from Chang'an, there are only more than 500 acres of land, and a considerable part is close to Cuihua Mountain, which is a barren mountainous area.
There was no way. Lao Xu was later transferred to the capital. At that time, the land around Chang'an City was basically rewarded by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, either royal relatives or noble and meritorious officials.
The Xu family was able to obtain hundreds of acres of land close to Chang'an, but it was rewarded by His Majesty Li Er.
Of course, these hundreds of acres of not-so-fertile land and less than a hundred households are incomparable to the size of the lands of the nobles and high-ranking officials, but at least they can make Xu Qilin live up to the small landlords.
