Liu Tan met their gazes and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong?"

Liu Che immediately said, "No, this thing is very good."

Liu Tan didn't expect that he would actually like it, so he happily left the toilet and went away.

After he left, Liu Che immediately ordered: "Open it and see if there are any words."

Liu Ju also stood nearby and watched with great concern.

However, everyone searched the toilet over and over again but couldn't find it. Bu Fan said cautiously, "Your Majesty, maybe it's hidden somewhere we can't see. Do you want to..."

Liu Ju immediately said, "Father, no! I heard that my brother hasn't fired any other porcelain for ten days. His craftsmen were already proficient in firing porcelain, so simply firing and shaping it shouldn't be difficult. He's probably been working on other things these past ten days. If we dismantle it, not only will this toilet be ruined, but what if my brother can't replicate it successfully?"

Although Liu Che was itching to find out, he finally listened to Liu Ju's advice. After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to try and see if they can find anything."

Now he only knew that the pipes under the toilet were not straight up and down, so he couldn't see the end at a glance, but he was a little unwilling to give up, so he simply asked someone to try again. Well, not only the pipes below, but also the water pipes above should be tried.

In this day and age, if the emperor gave an order, someone would definitely apply. However, the pipes under the toilet were too winding, and even if a person could fit their arm in, they would not be able to make such twists and turns.

Liu Che became more and more curious and felt a little regretful for a moment. He thought he should have asked his son directly.

If I really can't say it, then forget it. It's better than being full of curiosity and unable to find a solution now.

As for the pipes in the water tank, everyone checked it and found no text at all.

He walked around the toilet and suddenly had an idea: "Father, this time my brother didn't paint on the toilet, but used a relief pattern. Do you think... could it be related to this pattern?"

Liu Che was a little suspicious: "Isn't this a bamboo forest?"

Liu Tan had no particular idea when it came to using the bamboo forest, he basically just thought that the emerald green color of the Thousand Peaks would go well with the beads, and it was also relatively easy to make.

Unexpectedly, this would arouse Liu Ju's suspicion.

Liu Quote said, "This minister is just guessing."

Liu Che thought about it and finally decided to have someone make a rubbing of the pattern, then carve it on a wooden board and put it in water to test it out.

The final result is predictable, it definitely didn't work. In the end, Liu Che simply gave up studying what kind of magical power the toilet was endowed with, and simply put it in the warehouse and played with it when he had nothing to do.

Liu Tan probably didn't know that the toilet he made for Liu Che was not only useless, but was almost worshipped as a deity.

He was now holding the reward given to him by Liu Che - a bow, in a daze.

To be honest, the rewards Liu Che gave him were all kinds of strange and bizarre, basically covering all aspects of eating, drinking and having fun, but it was the first time he saw a bow.

He didn't know much about bows and couldn't tell whether they were good or bad, but since this one came from Liu Che's warehouse, it must be very good.

But the problem is, Liu Che knew very well that he didn't like martial arts, so why did he give him this thing? Was it to remind him to defend his country after returning?

Liu Tan scratched his head and decided to keep the bow in good condition.

In a way, this is really a father-son relationship.

However, Liu Tan's doubts were soon resolved.

The one who untied the knot was not Liu Che, but Li Buyan who came to play with him.

When he just came back, Li Buyan was hanging out with his friends everywhere, so he didn't come to talk to Liu much. Only a few days before the New Year did he come to give gifts on behalf of the Li family.

Perhaps he was tired of the mess these days, so he ran to Liu Tan and asked, "Your Highness, when are we leaving?"

Liu Tan was very surprised: "Are you so impatient? I thought you wanted to stay home longer."

He said this because he saw Li Buyan having fun, but he didn't expect Li Buyan to get irritated and said, "It's all because of my mother. She keeps urging me to get married, but I don't want to get married."

Liu Tan was quick-witted when he heard the word "marriage" and immediately felt a sense of sympathy with Li Buyan: "Hey, everyone is like that."

Li Buyan said, "But His Majesty and the Queen didn't urge Your Highness."

Liu Tan's mouth twitched. They were not urging anyone. They just decided on it when they thought it was appropriate without asking for the opinions of the parties involved.

However, Liu Tan knew that the reasons why he didn't want to get married were too complicated. The most important one was probably that he didn't like girls, and... there was also Lu Xuan who made him a little hesitant.

But Li Buyan was very puzzled. Liu Tan couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you want to get married?"

Li Buyan immediately raised his head and chest and said, "I want to learn from Marquis Jing Huan. How can I care about my family until the Xiongnu are destroyed?"

Oh, one of Huo Qubing’s fans.

Liu Tan sighed and said, "You can learn other things, but don't learn this."

This sentence really sounds very charismatic and makes people feel excited.

But when Huo Qubing died young, it became a scar in Liu Che's heart.

It would have been better for Huo Qubing to get married early and have more children!

At least it gives everyone some hope. Although Wei Qing's son is not stronger than him, Wei Buyi's quality is still good and not too bad.

What if Huo Qubing's child was very talented? Liu Che doted on Huo Shan so much before, and he definitely had high hopes for Huo Shan. It is very likely that Huo Shan was also very talented.

If Huo Shan could grow up, he would definitely be able to shoulder this burden. Unfortunately, he died too early. Not only was Liu Che heartbroken, but Liu Tan was also heartbroken.

Therefore, excellent genes really need to be preserved!

Li Buyan looked at Liu Tan with horror: "Your Highness won't urge me to get married, will he?"

Liu Tan looked at him and thought carefully for a long time, and felt that Li Buyan’s genes... forget it, let it be.

He patted Li Buyan's shoulder and said, "Don't be too stressed. If you like someone, just say it directly. If not, just wait for a while. Don't be like Jing Huanhou."

Li Buyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When are we leaving? To be honest with you, Your Highness, my mother is getting very annoyed with me now."

Liu Tan laughed immediately. This plot was too familiar. All parents were probably like this. They missed their children when they were not at home. When they came home, they still treated them as their darlings at first, but started to dislike them after not being able to use them for half a month.

He said, "Wait a few more days. Prime Minister Huo still has things to do."

Among them, Huo Guang was the busiest. Although Li Buyan was a child of the nobility, he had his mother to protect him, and his father was not at home, so he could save a lot of social engagements.

But Huo Guang couldn't do that. Even though he was young, he was now the head of the Huo family, and he had to handle all the interpersonal relationships personally, especially since he might not be back for the next year or even many years.

In addition to Huo Shan, Huo Qubing also left behind a son and a daughter, and these two also needed to be settled down.

So even though Liu Tan wanted to leave early, he was willing to wait a little longer for Huo Guang.

Li Buyan was a little discouraged at first, but then he quickly perked up: "So, can we catch up with this year's spring hunt?"

Liu Tan paused. "What? Spring Hunt?"

"Yes." Li Buyan's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Your Highness, can you take me with you? I've never been on a spring hunt!"

Liu Tan then remembered that Liu Che had a Shanglin Garden and liked to hunt in the spring and autumn. Then he remembered the bow that Liu Che had given him before, and he felt a little dazed.

He mechanically turned to look at Li Buyan and asked stiffly, "Can I not go?"

Li Buyan blinked: "No... no way? You are the prince and the only prince in the capital..."

Liu Tan was about to say that he couldn't shoot arrows, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know if the original Fifth Prince could, so he had to change the subject and say, "I haven't touched a bow for a long time, so I'm not very good at it anymore."

Li Buyan suddenly perked up: "It's okay, I'll just practice with Your Highness for a while!"

Liu Che asked, "If I go there and don't draw my bow, will there be any problem?"

Li Buyan was silent for a while before saying, "Two years ago, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi shot a deer in the hunting grounds and was commended by His Majesty."

Liu Tan suddenly became motivated: "Let's go! Miao Rui, get my bow!"

Fortunately, the palace has all kinds of facilities, and even if Liu Tan doesn't use it, a shooting range has been arranged for him.

Liu Tan changed into light clothes and went to the shooting range with the bow and arrow awarded to him by Liu Che.

Li Buyan's eyes lit up when he saw the bow: "Your Highness, this bow... is really good."

Liu Tan smiled and said, "It's a reward from my father, so of course it's good."

Li Buyan said, "This bow saves effort and is easy to use. Your Highness, please try it."

Liu Tan thought for a moment and said, "Warm up your hands first."

He only had a general idea of ​​the archery posture, so in order not to reveal anything, he had to let Li Buyan do it.

Li Buyan was at the age when he loved to show off, so he immediately picked up his bow and arrow, drew the bow, and shot the arrow!

The accuracy was a little lacking, not hitting the center of the bull's eye, but it wasn't off by much, probably around an eight-ring.

Liu Tan looked at Li Buyan's posture carefully, thought for a while, and said, "Well, it's not difficult."

Then he tried it himself. Originally, he was a little worried that he might not be able to even draw the bow in his weak state.

However, what surprised him was that this bow was indeed very labor-saving. At least he could pull it open to the full moon in one go. Although it was a bit difficult, he was already very satisfied.

As for aiming...

Li Buyan was able to at least hit the eight-ring, but when Liu Tan shot his arrow, he had no idea where it would go halfway.

Li Buyan, who was standing by, looked at the target with a confused look on his face, then at Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, this..."

Liu Tan said somewhat embarrassedly, "It seems like the regression is quite significant."

Li Buyan scratched his head and said, "Then... I'll teach Your Highness again."

Anyway, he was the one who taught Liu Tan horse riding and archery, but I don’t know why he forgot everything later.

However, after Li Buyan had taught Liu Tan for another half an hour, he looked at the intact target, then at the nearly empty quiver beside it, and said wistfully, "Your Highness, you're not regressing, you're forgetting."

Liu Tan: What nonsense is this naughty kid saying!
