Chapter 383: Gongxue

The next day, the concubine of the Sixth Palace came to Chongqing Palace to please Li Wei. The concubine Jinggui first said: "I heard that the queen mother advocated thrift and set an example to halve what she needed. The concubines and others are also willing to imitate the empress dowager. ."
Seeing that everyone is willing to implement, Li Wei nodded and said: "It is a shame to advocate economy and waste. I welcome concubines who are willing to follow me to implement, but the princes and princesses need nourishment when they grow up. I'm harsh, it's enough to reduce the cost of every quarter by one quarter. My original intention is to reduce unnecessary waste, and everyone must not overcorrect."
Everyone praised Li Wei for being wise and virtuous, and Li Wei went on to say: "Today there is one more thing to discuss with the sisters. I have always had an idea these days. The princes began to enlighten at the age of three. There is a teacher who is tutoring, everyone is required to be able to learn something. But for the same royal children, the education of the princesses is very different from that of the princes. Although the princesses are girls, they also need to study. It's reasonable, so I plan to let people clean up the Wenhua Pavilion, so that the princesses who live in the palace can study in the museum like the princes. Then I will also invite people from the Hanlin Academy to hire serious children. Sir, teach them knowledge and the principles of life. Do you have any comments?"
The princesses and the princesses all agreed and said, "This is really a good idea. It is rare for the queen dowager to think so thoughtfully. It is a blessing to the princesses."
Seeing that they had no objections, then they did not encounter the slightest difficulty in advancing this matter.
Li Wei said again: "Now there are four princesses in the palace, and the number of them is really less. So I plan to choose a few family girls to come in to study with the princesses and read together."
The fact that Li Wei let the princesses study in the Wenhua Pavilion was passed on to the cabinet. The cabinet chief Du Yu said, "Don’t look at the young queen, she has ideas. First, she took the lead in frugality and tailoring the case. The princesses read."
Liao Qi smiled and said: "The queen mother is young and has nothing to do. She must be looking for something to kill her boredom, so that some aristocratic women will enter the palace as a companion to read and talk to a few people around her."
Regarding matters in the palace, as foreign ministers, there is no room for beating.
Zhao Qian looked at the case from one side and did not look up. He knew in his heart that the queen mother wanted to slowly change this era. What he is doing now is just the beginning, but I hope it will be a good start. Don’t suffer. Too much resistance.
The news of choosing a family daughter to serve as a companion to the princesses soon spread. Several big clans in Beijing had ideas and were willing to send their daughters to the palace. Not because they could learn any knowledge, they just took this opportunity as an opportunity Time to climb the powerful. Every family hopes that their daughter will be in the eyes of the Queen Mother, so that they can gain more prosperity and wealth in the future.
On the day of entering the palace to meet the family, Fu brought Shilang's wife and Li Xing to greet Li Wei.
When the mother and daughter sisters met with each other, Li Wei greeted her six sisters-in-law first, and narrated a few homely. Without saying a few words, Fu Shi and his daughter-in-law and daughter said: "Silang's wife and Wu Yatou first go outside for a walk. I and the Queen Mother will say a few words separately."
Then Jane got up and took Li Xing's hand and the aunts and aunts to say goodbye to Li Wei. Li Wei called a court lady and said, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law come to the garden to enjoy the flowers."
Fu Shi had nothing to worry about after leaving the two aunts.
She lowered her voice and asked Li Wei: "You want to find companions for the princesses with great fanfare, are you planning to pick a suitable candidate from these family girls to prepare for the emperor?"
Faced with his mother's suggestion, Li Wei was stunned for a moment: "No, no, how is it possible. How old is the emperor, and he is still a child, so I'll talk about it everywhere."
Seeing his daughter deny, Fu asked in doubt: "You really didn't think so? Just want to find a companion for the princesses?"
"It's not all companions. Let's study together and make progress together."
"Your idea is really simple enough, but you haven't thought about it before. Now you can think about it. You have to know what kind of queen will have to choose in the future. If you have a suitable candidate, you can cultivate it. You can also save a lot of worry, just enjoy the happiness is enough."
"Mother, it's still too early to say this. My original intention is very simple to allow girls to read a few days seriously. I have no plan to match them for the time being."
The daughter was still so innocent, and Fu wanted to teach her daughter well. After all, she was a queen mother, and she had a long-term perspective. But these are things to follow, and what matters at the moment is another matter.
"Queen dowager, why don't you let your five sisters also enter the palace as a companion. Isn't the Ninth Princess one less company, just let her accompany the Ninth Princess, you also have many talkers, how about?"
Li Wei readily agreed: "Okay, it's a good thing if Wumei is willing."
"And about your sister's future, I mentioned it to you last time, do you remember?"
Li Wei naturally understood what his mother meant, and wanted to pair Li Xing and Zhao Qian together. She said: "There was a queen before the house, and now I am the queen mother again. Let my sister marry the regent. This will make people outside What do you think of our Li family?"
What I said clearly before, could it be that Awei regretted it, but Fu Shi did not agree to it. She hurriedly said: "I care about what others say, you are now the queen mother, who dares to violate your will? Your sister is with me Over the years, I have been thinking about finding a good place for her. You have to care about this."
When I mentioned this, Li Wei was naturally a little bored. She said a little impatiently: "I know. Her future lies with me."
After the mother and the others left, Li Wei stayed in the Linglong Pavilion without anyone waiting in front of them. She sat sullenly for a long time, until Caizhi came in with a square pan.
"Empress Mother, Minnv has already made the plaster, would you like to try one."
"Row."
Li Wei lifted up the trouser legs under the skirt by herself, revealing her aching knees, Caizhi knelt in front of her, and waited carefully.
The black plaster has a pungent medicinal smell. Li Wei doesn't actually hate this smell. In her opinion, the medicinal smell is actually a nice scent.
When Caizhi helped Li Wei put the plaster on and cleaned her hands, Li Wei stood up and stopped her: "Caizhi, you come with me."
Caizhi somehow followed Li Wei into the bedroom. Li Wei found out a pile of things and gave it to Caizhi: "Help me see if these diets and medications are for chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations."
Caizhi was a little confused, but she didn't dare to ask more. She obediently did what the queen mother asked. Grandfather taught her don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said.
