Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?
Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...
This news was like a bucket of cold water, calming Lu Xuan down instantly. He took a deep breath, bit Liu Tan's neck in hatred, and said, "You did it on purpose!"
Liu Tan hissed and warned, "I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
Lu Xuan raised his head again with a serious expression: "What does Your Majesty say?"
Liu Tan sighed, "My father didn't say anything. I think it might... not be that easy. You better be careful."
Originally, Liu Tan hadn't been in a hurry to have Liu Che meet Lu Xuan these days because he wanted to help Liu Che adjust his mood. After all, he was already tired after traveling for a long time, and he had to get down to business when he arrived in the Northern Border Kingdom. In addition, the relationship between him and Lu Xuan was an unspoken secret.
It is very likely that Liu Che was in a bad mood when he saw Lu Xuan, which led to the two of them parting on bad terms.
No matter what, Lu Xuan was still the leader of the Wusun tribe, and his relationship with Liu Che was not a simple monarch-subject relationship. Moreover, in those days, even if they were truly monarch-subject relationships, the emperor still had to respect his ministers.
He tried all kinds of ways to cheer Liu Che up, just to make him calmer when he met Lu Xuan.
It's just that Liu Che's thoughts are hidden too deeply, and he still can't figure out what Liu Che's attitude towards Lu Xuan is.
Liu Tan felt that it would be difficult for him to analyze this with his own ability, so he had to remind Lu Xuan to pay attention.
Lu Xuan kissed the top of his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
Liu Tanxin said that of course it would not be a big deal, and Liu Che would not kill him, but Liu Che's attitude represented their future.
In other words, the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Wusun affected their future.
If they really can't coexist, then Liu Tan will probably jump back and forth between being a scumbag who sleeps with Lu Xuan and leaves after having fun, and being a scumbag who directly leads people to defeat Xiao Wusun and snatch Lu Xuan away to become the queen.
Of course, based on Lu Xuan's behavior, he might just snatch the person away without saying a word.
Thinking about it this way, they are both quite uncontrollable. If things really develop to that point, it would be... quite sour.
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he received no response. He couldn't help but pinch Liu Tan's slim waist without a trace of fat and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Tan sighed and said, "When you were bullied by the Great Wusun, I should have snatched you away as a child bride. It might have saved a lot of trouble."
At that time, Lu Xuan was not yet so powerful. Although his rise to power was short-lived, if Liu Tan had really attacked him at that time, Lu Xuan would most likely have had no chance of resisting.
After hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but say briefly, "Stop imagining this."
When Liu Tan looked up, he saw that his ears were red. He couldn't help but lean over and bite them and said, "Why are you still shy?"
Lu Xuan held her in his arms, feeling somewhat helpless: "I was already grown up by then, I couldn't be your child bride."
Liu Tan stood up and sat on him and said, "I don't care. If I say yes, then it's fine."
Lu Xuan held onto his waist, his breathing a little unsteady.
When Liu Tan noticed the change in his expression, he jumped out of bed and called for someone to come in and tidy up his clothes. He then turned to Lu Xuan and said, "It's too late. I have to go back. You should get some rest."
Lu Xuan's expression suddenly became indescribable.
At that moment, he really wanted to catch this little bastard who ran away after teasing him and give him a good beating.
But in the end, he still straightened his clothes, walked Liu Tan to the gate of Tonghuafang, and said, "You should go back soon. Next time if you have any problems, send someone to tell me. Don't make the trip on your own in such a cold weather."
Liu Tan kissed him on the cheek and said in a long voice, "I know. How can you be more nagging than my father? Did I find a father? Seriously."
Lu Xuan forcibly held back and said: Then call me daddy.
Not everyone can be Liu Tan’s father. He was afraid that if he said this, he would not see the sun tomorrow morning.
The next day, Liu Tan opened his eyes and heard Miao Rui say, "Your Highness, it snowed last night."
Liu Tan was slightly surprised after hearing this. He had not seen snow since he arrived in the Northern Border Country. The low precipitation in this place was no joke. Not only was there not much rain, there was not much snow either.
After Liu Tan finished washing up and getting dressed, he walked to the window and said in surprise, "It's snowing quite heavily."
That’s right. After one night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the garden and on the roof.
At this time, the palace servants were dealing with the snow on the road.
After Liu Tan dressed and walked to the door, he heard Miao Rui say, "Your Highness, be careful, the road is slippery. Get on the sedan chair."
Liu Tan waved his hand: "It's okay, the snow has been cleared."
The cement road itself was not very smooth, and the palace servants had already cleared the main roads, without even disturbing the snow in the surrounding gardens - these palace servants were all experienced, and these places were specially reserved for the owners to enjoy the snow.
Liu Tan ran to see Liu Che early in the morning wearing a white fur cloak.
At this time, Liu Che had just gotten up and was enjoying the snow. From a distance, he saw a white fluffy ball walking towards him.
In fact, Liu Tan is not short and not fat, he is just covered by a fur cloak, so from a distance you can only see a furry ball.
When Liu Tan saw Liu Che, he smiled and called out, "Father!"
Now that he was familiar with Liu Che, he found that Liu Che did not require his children to bow properly every time they saw him.
He had a stereotype before and thought that the emperor would not like such disrespect, but in fact Liu Che really didn't care much about these details.
Liu Che asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
As Liu Tan walked towards here, he said, "Not yet, Father. After breakfast, let's just go back to Changshou Palace. It must be very beautiful now. If you feel cold, you can sit in front of the crystal window and watch the snow."
Liu Che raised an eyebrow and asked, "You won't let me see Lu Xuan again? What are you thinking?"
Liu Tan was puzzled: "Why can't he see it? Just let him go with us. Snowy scenes in the Northern Territory are rare. This is my first time seeing it. It would be a shame to miss it."
It was indeed a pity that Liu Che acquiesced to Liu Tan's arrangement.
After breakfast, Liu Tan asked someone to call Lu Xuan and asked him to go to Changshou Palace with him.
Lu Xuan didn't seem to have the habit of riding in a carriage, so he just rode a horse and followed beside Liu Che's carriage.
Today, Lu Xuan was wearing a crimson robe, a black fur cape, and a jeweled scimitar at his waist. He rode his beloved Abu with his back straight. As he walked on the road, he looked very heroic against the backdrop of the snow.
Putting aside personal feelings or national tendencies, Liu Che really liked such a younger generation, and even felt that he lacked such a son.
Then he turned around and saw Liu Tan, who was huddled in his car, holding a hand warmer, leaning against the fumigation cage and looking at Lu Xuan with joy in his eyes.
Liu Che: ...
He could only comfort himself in his heart, forget it, this is also good.
Just as Liu Tan said, Changshou Palace looks even better after snow.
Especially the tiles are covered with white snow, which contrasts beautifully with the red walls. Just looking at the palace walls is breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, Liu Che suddenly felt that he understood why Liu Tan wanted to paint the wall red.
After entering the Changshou Palace, there was a lot of snow on the originally lush trees and colorful flowers, which seemed to be defying the frost and snow. In addition, due to the cold weather, the water surface was covered with mist. For a moment, the Changshou Palace seemed like a fairyland.
Such beautiful scenery made Liu Che really not want to discuss political affairs with Lu Xuan.
However, after they settled down in front of the crystal window, Liu Che looked at the promising young Lu Xuan sitting across from him and quickly regained his composure. He turned to Liu Tan and said, "Go, go out and find somewhere to play."
Liu Tan: What do you mean by that tone of voice, as if you were dismissing a child?
