Chapter 81: Little Sizi Tells Stories
"Yes, it was just the painting written by Xu Xiaolang." Xiao Yizi replied: "There is only one in the world. Xiao Zhao is very precious. She finally borrowed it from her."
His Majesty Li Er smiled, took the painting book casually, looked at the cover, and said, "This is about the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty."
Xiao Yizi said, "Father, please read the painting book, I tell stories, and see if I remember everything?"
"Little Shizi is so smart, I must remember to be very word-of-mouth." His Majesty Li Er hugged the beloved daughter on his legs, moved her body, and placed it between him and Xu Hui. While listening to Little Shizi's excited story, he flipped through the picture book casually.
As soon as he arrived on the second page, His Majesty Li Er closed his eyes, and a poem was before the background.
The little whisker's crisp and tender childish voice rang, and he was memorizing this poem. Later generations who have watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are well-known for their opening songs.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure turn empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine meets each other. How many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing at."
After the little Shizi carved Linjiangxian, he looked around proudly. Xu Hui hurriedly smiled and praised, "No word is wrong, Your Highness is so amazing."
His Majesty Li Er laughed, reached out to touch his daughter's head, and asked, "Little Shizi recited it very well. Do you know what the poem contains?"
Little Shizi blinked and said, "Xu Chongrong told me that the first stanza chanted the endless rivers and the green mountains are always there, but generations of heroes have passed away; the second stanza is about letting the world change, but the nobles only focus on the spring breeze and autumn moon, and keep the tranquility and indifference while drinking and laughing."
His Majesty Li Er said with a slight head, "The beloved concubine explains it thoroughly, and the indifferent and peaceful meaning in this poem is similar to that of the beloved concubine."
Xu Hui smiled and said, "It is reasonable to be indifferent and quiet, but I am absolutely unrestrained and free and easy in the words."
His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "I send my love to the mountains and rivers, accompanying the autumn moon and spring breeze, and I am free and contented. I also envy these fishermen and woodcutters who are familiar with the past and the present."
Little Shizi didn't understand very well. When she saw the adults visiting her but didn't care about her, she shouted in a hurry: "Do you still listen to me?"
"Listen, listen." His Majesty Li Er hurriedly coaxed: "Little Shizi, please tell me quickly, I'm so anxious to wait!"
Xiao Yizi pursed her lips and said, "When it comes to the general trend of the world, long-term division will lead to unity, long-term division will lead to unity. From Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to reign of the world, later on Guangwu's revival, it was passed down to Emperor Xian, and then divided into the Three Kingdoms..."
His Majesty Li Er listened to the crisp and tender voice of his beloved daughter in his ears, looked at the painting book, looked at the strange characters on it, and smiled and immersed in this unprecedented story.
After a while, Xiao Yizi stopped the sound, patted the drawing book with her little hand, and smiled and said, "Okay, the first one is finished, it's time for the second one."
"Your Highness the Princess drinks a sip of water and wait for a while before talking." Xu Hui waved to the palace servant to get the drink. After Xiao Yizi finished drinking, she wiped the water stains on the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"Yizi said so well." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beloved daughter's little head and said, "Is this what Qi Lin painted for Xiao Zhao? It's also interesting to see the villain's appearance."
"Xiao Zhao is so happy." Xiao Yizi held the second book, envious and said a little lonely: "When my brother is pampering and coaxing, the restaurants, tiles, and the East and West City, I can only stay in the palace and can't go anywhere."
As he said that, in order to express his depression, Little Vine pouted his mouth and kicked his feet hard a few times.
"This—" His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled bitterly, very helpless.
Xu Hui hurriedly coaxed: "Your Highness, how can you compare with others? There are many vulgar people in the market and may be frightened. If you want to eat the dishes in the restaurant, let the chef in the palace make it. What is the vassal?"
His Majesty Li Er didn't understand either, and shook his head slightly at Xu Hui's inquiring gaze.
Little Shizi hummed and said, "The Washe is a big house, with railings enclosed into many small places, called tramps. Each tramp has performances, tricks, juggling, puppet show, and fighting against the king..."
"It's quite interesting." Xu Hui smiled and said, "It's easy for your highness to see. If you summon those geniuses into the palace, you will perform alone."
"Well, yes, this method is very good." His Majesty Li Er nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement, "The skills of folk artists are just to perform in the market. Where can the father and the emperor summon the palace to the palace be so wonderful and beautiful?"
Little Aizi thought about it, nodded reluctantly, and said, "Then I've gone to read the picture books myself, and there are several of them that I haven't read yet!"
As he said that, Little Shizi jumped off the big sofa, took a few books, and ran to the single sofa next to her. After a while, a smile appeared on her face and a giggle came out.
When His Majesty Li Er was happy when he saw his beloved daughter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, leaning on the back of the sofa comfortably and comfortably, and asked with his eyes slightly closed: "Is this sent by Qi Lin again? It's very comfortable."
Xu Hui said helplessly: "Xiao Lang is really indulging in enjoyment, but he loves me in the end and can't bear to blame me."
His Majesty Li Er pulled Xu Hui's hand, patted it gently, and said, "He is not all about enjoying and decadent. Compared with those playboys, he is already very excellent. You don't have to blame the beloved concubine too deeply, but supervise too strictly."
Xu Hui sighed lightly and said, "He is so mean and he is so arrogant that Xiao Zhao is too disgusting. If this continues, I really don't know what it will be like?"
His Majesty Li Er opened his eyes, chuckled, and said, "I see Qi Lin is not bad. Now he is a seventh-rank official, and it is up to his own efforts. Xiao Zhao is not as smart as his beloved concubine. With your teachings, he will definitely be a talented woman when he grows up."
I'm promoted again, I don't know what I did to get His Majesty to reward him?
Xu Hui was happy, so he put some worries aside, picked up the painting and smiled at His Majesty Li Er, "If you want to say this painting, it looks like a child at first glance. I have read a few books and found it very interesting."
His Majesty Li Er picked up a book and looked at it. It was the part of the burning of Red Cliffs, which was also the most exciting story.
Xu Hui was very good at making things happen, and arranged the books in order. Li Er read one book and changed it. He laughed constantly and stopped when he saw Huarongdao arresting Cao.
"Qi Lin made up a good story." His Majesty Li Er praised with a smile: "It's ups and downs, humorous and funny, and it's really a good pastime to read."
Xu Hui also agreed, pointed to the paper and pen on the desk, and smiled and said, "I also found it interesting, so I thought of copying all the stories and comparing them to "The Three Kingdoms".
