Chapter 48

The day before the holiday, a few people were still discussing whose house to visit.

I have been to Liu Qiang's house several times, and every time I went there I either practiced martial arts or did boxing. Xuan Fu has been boxing almost every day these days. When the weather gets cold, they do a set of boxing to warm up before their horse riding and archery classes.

It's a rare two-day holiday, and he wants to just have fun, without thinking.

Liu Qiang: "You can't go to the theater to watch a play."

"How about we go to my house?" Li Ang said, then hesitated again, "There have been banquets in the mansion these days, and I don't know if the mansion will be free during the two days of rest."

Recently, my mother would take my sisters out of the house to visit various families.

Xuanyu Fu rejected it, "I have bothered you before. Besides, if you have guests at your house, they will have to show me courtesy when I visit you."

No, no, no.

Yan Huaijin raised his hand and said, "You can go to my house. My aunt is here, and my brother is here too."

"…" Go to the teacher's house. Xuan Duofu didn't really want to go, but he was afraid of hurting his little classmate's feelings, so he held his raised hand and said sincerely: "Your aunt just arrived, she must have a lot of things to do. We have a temporary schedule, it would be too noisy and too rushed if we go there."

Yan Huaijin thought about it and realized that his aunt was indeed very busy recently, having to visit various houses to meet people.

"We can't go to this place, and we can't go to that place, so who else do you think we can go to?" Liu Qiang didn't participate in the discussion. "If we were in Sumakan, there would be a lot of fun things to do. It's snowing now. We can go outside to roast lamb, climb trees, eat hotpot, and listen to opera. If the snow is solid, we can even go skiing."

Zhou Quan thought for a moment and said, "It's ok to go to my house...right?"

"Is Lord Zhou better from his cold?" Xuan Fu asked with concern.

Zhou Quan is indeed a truly filial son. His father had caught a cold for a few days after the crown prince asked the imperial physician to see him. He has only recently recovered. If he goes back today and tells his family that the crown prince will be visiting their house tomorrow - his father will definitely have a fever again.

At this time, he followed the prince's words and said, "I'm still a little unwell, so it's hard to greet everyone."

"Nothing." Xuanyu Fu waved his hands cheerfully.

As for some of the students who were watching and hearing, they wanted to say go to his house, but they were a little nervous and hesitant and finally did not say it out loud, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was of noble status, and if they agreed to go to their houses and the hospitality was not good and something happened, it would be a disaster.

It’s better not to mention it.

Xuan Fu pondered that if they wanted to be safe, they couldn't go to the downtown area. They also had to arrange for reception at the last minute, excluding other classmates' homes. He even wanted to go to his fifth uncle's house again, but he heard that his fifth uncle was very busy recently and the host was not at home. It would not be convenient for his fifth aunt to entertain them. It would be too much trouble.

The place should be big, spacious, safe, and fun to visit...

"I know!" Xuanyu Fu's eyes suddenly lit up. The others all looked over. Xuanyu Fu clasped his hands and said, "Come to my house and play!"

"Your home? I've been to your home before." Liu Qiang said. Going to the East Factory is worse than going to his home.

Xuan Fu lowered his chin and looked at Liu Qiang, "My home, Taiji Palace." He thought of the half of the garden behind the Zuo Palace where he went last time, "Xianju Palace, Penglai Palace, there is a Hanliang Palace next to Taiye Lake. I went there once at night last time. The pool is big--"

"I'll go!" Liu Qiang became interested when he heard that the pool was big, "Can we row a boat?"

Xuanyu Fu agreed immediately, "If you don't mind the cold, we will have someone to row the boat and a good swimmer to rescue you if anything happens."

"I'm quite skilled, nothing will happen. I can definitely learn swimming in no time."

Xuan Fu ignored Liu Qiang's boasting. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Will you come?"

Yan Huaijin nodded and said he would go. Li Ang agreed to everything.

"Can I go?" Li Ze asked.

Xuanyuefu: "Sure, it will be more lively with more people." We are all just having fun. The others had already heard it, and when they heard it, they all came forward to ask.

"Well, if you want to come, come." Xuan Fu looked a little serious, "But tomorrow is a holiday, so my banquet should be relaxed, and it can't be like school, which is a downtime."

Everyone understood when they heard it, and then bowed and said yes.

Xuanyuefu waved his hand, called Shuncai over, and said, "Go find Wang Banban and tell him that I will be entertaining my classmates at Hanliang Hall tomorrow. Inform them in advance and check the rules."

"I obey your command." Shuncai accepted the task and went down to work.

When school was almost over in the afternoon, Wang Yuanyuan came and reported to the little prince. She also brought a stack of letters and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stamp them.

Many Fuda looked at Banban with eyes, "I still have a chapter?"

"Your Highness, you have it. Although the official enthronement ceremony has not yet taken place, the prince's seal has been delivered first." Wang Yuanyuan groped in her arms and took out a seal.

"Your Highness, please stamp this. This is a letter sent to students in Chongming Palace. It has been compared with the badges of the young masters in the mansions. Tomorrow, you will enter from Qingxiao Gate with the letter and the badge..."

The front gate of Taiji Palace is Xuande Gate, and there are side gates on the left and right. There is also a gate at the back, which is close to Taiye Lake. When they go out for fun, they don’t need to go through the front. First, it is too far. In the palace, except for the masters and nobles, ordinary people are not qualified to ride in sedan chairs. Second, if they walk through, they have to pass by the cabinet and the three ministries, which may disturb the adults at work.

The prince was young and was afraid that someone would gossip and complain that he was only interested in having fun - Wang Yuanyuan had never been reported, but Xu Xiaoman was reported by people from the Censorate every day.

From the East Factory being set up in the palace, including Xu Xiaoman's inner courtyard house, to a eunuch's adopted son being able to enter the Chongming Palace, to the East Factory having to report anyone who was arrested...

There are some now, just one or two here and there, but you can just ignore them.

There was also a "little episode" in this. After the emperor's birthday, because of the earth-shaking words he said at the banquet, the memorials from the Censorate floated to the Xuanzheng Hall like snowflakes. There was only one meaning: to advise the emperor to follow the right path of heaven and earth, and that the emperor had done nothing wrong, and that it was naturally the treacherous people who seduced and deceived the emperor...

The criminal who seduced and bewitched Emperor Ningwu was naturally Jiu Qian Sui.

Then Emperor Ningwu made a "smart move". He thought about it and summoned several censors who were nine thousand years old and criticized every word and sentence of the Censorate. He then kept them in the palace overnight, and asked these ministers to spend the night in the Xuanzheng Hall for three to five days in a row.

…

Several of the censors were quite young, in their thirties with beautiful beards, and were upright, thin, incorruptible and full of righteousness. But after two or three days of this, the ministers in the court began to look at them with something strange in their eyes and began to grumble.

Several "bearded men" in the Censorate almost banged their heads against the pillars to prove their innocence - there was really nothing between them and the emperor, they were innocent and did not use their beauty to serve the emperor as flatterers.

Emperor Ningwu was very friendly and called him "My dear" all the time.

Adding fuel to the fire, it seems like they are deliberately trying to tarnish their reputation.

In the past, Emperor Ningwu used tough tactics. Some ministers were beaten with sticks, some banged their heads against pillars, some knelt on the floor of Xuanzheng Hall and begged for mercy. Some were even dragged out and chopped off... At that time, all the ministers were trembling with fear for this emperor. Now that the emperor has become benevolent, they are filled with mixed feelings.

...Recently, the censors have been quieter, and they only report trivial matters of the ministers, such as being untidy in appearance at the morning court, gossiping, putting meat and fruit in their pockets and eating them secretly while waiting in front of the palace, etc.

There are also three gates behind the Taiji Palace. The left Qingxiao Gate leads you to the Taiye Lake, and a short walk around it will take you to the Hanliang Palace, which is very convenient. The main gate in the middle is the Chongxuan Gate, where emperors and empresses used to go to the royal villa to burn incense and worship Buddha. The far right Yinhan Gate is where concubines and royal daughters go.

Many people saw that Wang Banban had done everything in just half a day and was very thoughtful, so they immediately praised Banban, "Well done."

Wang Yuanyuan smiled and bowed, "This old servant will serve Your Highness to stamp the seal."

Wang Yuanyuan handed the covers to each one and put them in order, and soon the job was done.

Before the afternoon school was over, all the students in the class received the invitation from the prince. Yan Huaijin took a look and smiled. Xuan Fuben asked what he was laughing about. Li Ang said from behind, "We are still going to write poems tomorrow?"

Many blessings:?

"Let me see." He looked directly at the post in his deskmate's hand. He had not checked carefully when he stamped it just now. Now he saw that he didn't know who had written this post. The handwriting was neat and tidy, and it also embellished his travel notes.

Saying that the prince entertained his classmates and friends for fun sounds like he has no ambition to make progress.

But if I say: the beautiful winter scenery, I walked with the students of Chongming Hall, chanted poems and wrote couplets to discuss knowledge - in short, I was having fun under the banner of studying.

After reading the post, many people really believed that he was just discussing academic matters with his friends.

Yan Huaijin's smile had not yet faded, and he must have seen it. He pinched the child's hair and said, "Whoever is interested can write a poem or an essay. Anyway, I'm not interested."

Each student received the post, holding it as if it were a treasure. As soon as school was over, most of the students bowed to the Crown Prince and took their leave. They wanted to go back and show the post to their parents at home.

I have the guts to say: Father and Mother, His Highness invites me to go out for fun tomorrow, I’ve made it!

Many blessings: It's rare that everyone runs away after school.

He stayed in the hall to do his homework, so that after finishing his homework, he could play in two days. However, the two tutors assigned a lot of homework this time, so Xuanyuefu took advantage of Yan Jinjin's time to finish the essays and policy papers, and left the rest of the calligraphy and copying to be done the next day.

They were doing their homework. Liu Qiang was about to run away, but when he saw Wang Yuansun staying to do his homework today, he looked at him as if to say, "You are staying too." Wang Yuansun said, "There is a lot of homework this time. If you don't finish it, there will be an early court after the holiday, and the Grand Tutor will meet General Liu."

"I'll write it." Liu Qiang immediately put his schoolbag back and sat there like a monkey. "What are you writing? I'll copy it?"

Wang Yuansun saw Li Ze turning his head to say something to Li Ang Zhouquan, then he withdrew his gaze and said, "You have to write a policy paper yourself."

"ah?"

"You copied my work, and the Master will find out. Why don't you write it yourself? If you don't understand something, ask me."

"Okay, okay." Liu Qiang thought so too and just sighed: "Wang Yuansun, everyone else practices martial arts, how come you are so good at studying? You are just like the child of a civil servant."

Wang Yuansun: "It's OK. I haven't taken any exams yet, so I don't know my own foundation."

When he was in the clan school, he was the top student, but now... I'm not sure.

When Liu Qiang heard this, he patted Wang Yuansun on the shoulder and said, "What's the point of writing articles? It's more fun to practice martial arts."

"Write quickly." Wang Yuansun said.

Liu Qiang: “…”

Half an incense stick before the palace gates were locked, the chimes rang. The students who stayed in the palace to do their homework hurriedly packed their bags, bowed to the prince, and hurried back, just as they walked out, they turned back again.

“Almost forgot about the post.”

After getting it, he ran quickly, and finally got out of the palace before the keys were locked.

The ladies in the backyards of each mansion all knew that their children had received invitations from the prince and would attend a palace banquet the next day. Some went home early to show the invitations to their grandmothers and mothers. The elders read them again and again, expressing surprise and delight. Some even had tears in their eyes and said: My son has made it big.

Then he started to worry about what his son should wear when he entered the palace tomorrow.

He also said: When your father comes back and finds out, he will definitely be happy.

Anyway, it’s a happy event.

When Xuanyuefu returned to Zichen Palace, he saw his two fathers sitting and talking in the warm room, so he went over. Zhongyun first asked, "Are you going to hold a palace banquet tomorrow?"

"We were playing in Hanliang Palace." Xuanyuefu said, looking at the emperor. "Father, how did you know?"

Xu Xiaoman also looked over. How did Zhong Yun know about this so early? Did the Jinwu Guards have to report this matter? It didn't seem possible.

"Wang Yuanyuan found Zhao Erxi, and the two of them were whispering so loudly at the door, as if they were afraid that I couldn't hear them." Zhong Yun said.

In the warm room, Zhao Erxi went to the imperial kitchen, and Wang Yuanyuan didn't come in at all.

As soon as Xu Xiaoman heard it, he knew that Wang Yuanyuan must have done it on purpose, and quickly stuffed the peeled walnut kernels in his hand into Zhong Yun's hand, "You eat it, this one is quite tender, I peeled the skin and it's not bitter at all."

Zhong Yun eats walnuts by removing the shell and peeling off the inner skin. He doesn't like to eat old walnut kernels because he feels the bitter taste makes his mouth uncomfortable, and he doesn't like to eat fried ones either. Xu Xiaoman is not so particular when eating by himself. He just smashes and peels the shell and puts it in his mouth. But before he spoke just now, Xu Xiaoman had been peeling the skin carefully, and the one he was peeling was for Zhong Yun to eat.

It wasn't because I wanted to "save" Wang Yuanyuan that I gave it to him.

Zhong Yun was very impressed by this and felt that he had a higher status than Wang Yuanyuan and that he had won. Although he was lowering his status by competing with a eunuch, which Emperor Ningwu would naturally not admit, he was indeed in a much happier mood.

After eating the walnut kernels, the review praised: "It is indeed quite fresh and tender."

"I know you like to eat fresh walnuts, but it has been a while since autumn, and only these are left that are well preserved and not so dry." Xu Xiaoman picked out several.

It's only natural that my wife is picky about food.

Many blessings: eating dog food.jpg

After eating the fresh walnuts, Emperor Ningwu remembered what he had said before. His brows were full of spring breeze and he said amiably, "Duofu has become the crown prince. There is a diligent study center in the East Palace. I believe he would not want the six tutors to give him only one lesson."

Manyu Fu was startled, stopped eating dog food, and felt terrified. After hearing this, he couldn't help but flatter the emperor: "Father, you are so wise!"

Six teachers are teaching him alone, what kind of hell is this?

Fortunately.

Xu Xiaoman smiled and stuffed the pine nuts he had just peeled into Duoduo's mouth. Xuanyunfu ate the pine nuts with a mouthful of sweetness and gave them to his father, who also peeled them.

The pine nut shell is very hard and cannot be opened by many fingers, so sometimes you have to bite it with your teeth.

Those pine nuts inevitably stained a lot of saliva, but Xu Xiaoman had no resentment at all. She touched the baby's face, ate half of it herself, and fed it to Zhong Yun. Zhong Yun lowered his head: disgusted.

Xu Xiaoman stuffed them all into his mouth.

The father and son are very affectionate.

"You will still study in Chongming Palace." Zhong Yun continued, "But you have to choose the officials such as the East Palace Chancellor, the Prime Minister, the Chief Clerk, and the Recorder. I have selected a few people for Duofu. When the results of the spring examination are announced next year, the first class will be eliminated. Then the prince can choose some suitable candidates from the second class."

Manyu Fu was stunned when he heard this.

It turns out there are so many positions in the Eastern Palace.

Zhong Yun knew at a glance that this young fool thought that being crowned as the crown prince meant that other people would just pay him respects and that was it? He added, "The East Palace has not been repaired yet, and the few people I selected have not been transferred there yet. I temporarily asked the Hanlin Academy to write a letter to the crown prince to ease the writing process."

Many people couldn't help but flatter him: "No wonder those posts are so beautifully written, with extraordinary writing style."

"Yan Wenkai, you are the second place in the previous special examination. I am giving you an invitation to write a letter. You must be extraordinary." Zhong Yun finished eating the walnuts and took the handkerchief. Before wiping his hands, he used the handkerchief to hit the prince's head lightly, and then wiped his hands.

When Xuan Fu heard the name, he imagined that Lord Yan was very handsome, a handsome man with a scholarly bearing, so he asked casually, "How old is Lord Yan?"

"Fifty-two this year, right? I remember." Xu Xiaoman said that he often went to Xuanzheng Hall to see Yan Wenkai, an old man with a mild temper.

Many blessings: "..."

"Just say whatever you want to say." Zhong Yun stood up and took Xiaoman's hand to go to dinner. Zhao Erxi had just come in to ask for instructions and had set the dinner.

Manyu Fu got off the couch, dragged himself on his soft-soled shoes, and followed his two fathers, "Dad, dad, aren't there any young and handsome candidates who can take the third place in the imperial examination?"

Zhong Yun stopped and turned his head to look at Duofu thoughtfully, then continued walking.

Many blessings: ???

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no idea that his father had made up his mind about his sexual orientation, and he followed him around happily, "When I heard Lord Yan's name, I thought he was a talented and elegant young man."

Xu Xiaoman thought of the last time the third place winner was selected, "He seems to be in his forties, but he does have a handsome appearance."

"It's an imperial examination to select talents, not a selection of concubines." Zhong Yun said, and then said: "If the prince is curious, you can come to the imperial examination next year."

"Okay, okay." Xuanyufu agreed immediately.

Wang Yuanyuan, who was standing on the side, secretly took note of this and wrote it down on paper later. The palace selection next year would take another four or five months.

The family had dinner and chatted for a while. As the night deepened, Emperor Ningwu sent the crown prince to bed. After bathing with Jiu Qiansui, he went to the bedroom. Emperor Ningwu suddenly said, "Zhongqiong has two sons. The eldest son is only five years old. His talent is still unknown. Let him be brought in for a look during the New Year this year."

"It's too early to think about it. Maybe it's not the case?" The Nine Thousand Year Old Man and Emperor Ningwu had such a tacit understanding that they seemed like one and the same person.

Emperor Ningwu looked at Jiuqiansui. Jiuqiansui felt guilty and said, "Even if Duoduo is the same as you and me, he shouldn't be seeing his grandson now, right?"

"It doesn't matter that Zhong Qiong came from a poor family. I've assigned him a task and will wait for his report. If he succeeds, he can be considered smart. But we'll have to wait and see. Then look at his eldest son. If he's stupid and gives birth to another stupid child, and I give him to Duofu for adoption, I'll be worried to death." Zhong Yun said.

As for adopting Prince Shen's lineage, Emperor Ningwu did not want that.

So the only one left is Prince Li.

Xu Xiaoman was a little sleepy and yawned. Zhong Yun saw this and hugged him and said, "Forget it, it's still early, go to bed first."

The candles were all extinguished. After a while, Xu Xiaoman suddenly became alert. He patted Zhong Yun who was about to fall asleep. They looked into each other's eyes. Zhong Yun had originally been a little sleepy, but now his eyes were clear.

"If Duoduo is the same as you and me, do you think he will be the same as me?"

This was a vague statement, but the husband and wife both understood. He liked men's sexuality just like them. If Duofu had the same physique as Xiaoman and could have children...

Zhong Yun's clear eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was somewhat cruel, "Whose kid is this?"

"Not yet." Xu Xiaoman patted him quickly and coaxed him, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. I'm just thinking in case. Our Duoduo is only ten years old now. Don't think too far ahead."

Zhong Yun fell down and couldn't sleep. Xu Xiaoman didn't dare to speak. The bedroom was quiet.

It took a long time.

Xu Xiaoman said quietly, "Don't mess with the sterilization medicine that Doctor Zhang gave you. The children are still young. It would be bad if someone misunderstood."

“……” Zhong Yun’s thoughts were guessed, so he remained silent.

Xu Xiaoman turned over and looked at Zhong Yun. Zhong Yun said after a long while, "It's nothing. Don't worry."

Now I can really sleep.

Xuan Fu had no idea about this. He was just curious and asked about the appearance of the Tanhua scholar. After all, he had read several novels about Tanhua scholars before. As a result, his two fathers had the wrong idea.

He was happily snuggling in bed, but couldn't sleep because he had a day off tomorrow and didn't have to get up early.

The one on guard tonight is Shunde, who is eleven years younger. He doesn't look smart but is very honest. Shunde was brought back from the Internal Affairs Office by Wang Banban two days ago. He was taught the rules for two days and started work today.

"Do you see the couch at the end of my bed? Go sleep there," Xuanyufu said.

Shunde: “Yes.”

But Duo Xinfu found that whenever he turned over in excitement, Shunde would come over to check on him, fearing that he needed to get up at night or ask for something. Finally, Duo Xinfu could only go to bed as soon as possible and said to Shunde, "I will call you when I get up at night, so take a nap."

Shunde smiled in a somewhat honest and sincere manner, and said, "Master, I am not tired from keeping watch all night, and I will sleep during the day tomorrow."

"Okay then." Xuanyuefu discovered that Shunde was conscientious and loyal to his post.

Because vigil means watching over the whole night, we dare not take it lightly.

He didn't persuade her and just went to sleep quickly, maybe Shunde could take a nap.

The next day, Xuan Duofu slept until he woke up naturally. Shunde was still there, his eyes a little red from staying up late. Xuan Duofu quickly let him go to rest and let Zhuixing Zhuyue Shuncai come to serve him. After he got dressed and washed up, his two fathers went to work, and he sat alone to eat breakfast. It was not yet nine o'clock.

As usual, we had breakfast with soup.

Today I had chicken soup noodles. The noodles were rolled out very thin and fine, as if they were cut by a modern machine. Eating these noodles was like drinking. The chicken soup was light and not greasy. After drinking a small bowl of it, my stomach felt warm.

There are also some side dishes, all of which are light.

After Xuanyunfu finished his meal, seeing that it was getting late, he took a sedan chair and went around the back of the Right Palace to the Hanliang Palace. He didn't want to go in front of the Left Palace as he would meet ministers, so he went around from the back.

"Banban, are they all here?"

Wang Yuanyuan walked to the side of the sedan chair and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the invitation is sent at the end of the Si hour. It's a good time for Your Highness to go there now."

That means arriving at the palace at ten o'clock in the morning.

It is very fast to walk along the shortest palace road from Zichen Palace to the back garden - this is Xuanyuefu's first time here. This back garden is very large, with beautiful pavilions, towers, rockery and waterside terraces. You can see Taiye Lake as soon as you turn the corner.

To get there, you can either take a boat across the lake, or there is a shortcut. There is a high wall in the garden with a gate. Usually, the Jinwu Guards guard the left palace.

At this time, the prince's sedan chair passed through the door and could see the Hanliang Palace.

The eunuch in charge of Hanliang Palace had received the notice yesterday and was waiting with all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. Some of the guests invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already arrived, so the eunuch in charge led them in to wait.

In broad daylight, Xuan Fucai was able to see the details of the exterior of the Hanliang Palace. It was really beautiful and magnificent, shaped like a three-story ship with half an open-air deck on top for looking out into the distance. The first floor was the one he had been to before, and there was also an open-air deck in front of the bow for fishing.

Normally, guests are received and banquets are held on the second floor.

Taiye Lake is planted with lotus and green water lilies, and there are reeds in the distance. At this time, the lotus and green water lilies have cleared the withered and dilapidated scene, and the lake water is green and clear. The surrounding reeds are yellow, furry, and a little pink. There are even swans floating on the surface of the lake.

Not far from the big ship of Hanliang Palace, there are real medium-sized and small ships parked, and you can take them to have fun on the lake.

Really beautiful!

Xuanyun Fu was welcomed to the second floor, and he turned to Wang Banban and said, "All those who serve in Hanliang Palace will be rewarded."

He has money, so he gives everyone a raise.

The general steward naturally thanked for the reward with a smile on his face and said some auspicious words, which made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile. Then he tactfully withdrew.

Liu Qiang and Wang Yuansun arrived together, followed by a young man in dark clothes. The young man was dressed in black and thin. He had no hairpin or crown on his head, only a black headband tied up his hair. He was dressed so ordinary and inconspicuous, but when everyone saw his face clearly, they couldn't help but be attracted to him.

He actually has a pair of blue eyes.

"Am I seeing things wrong?", "Or are the eyes a different color in the morning when the lake is shining?", "This person's face is so strange, who is he? He is not a student of the hall.", "Was he brought in by Liu Qiang, or is he Liu Qiang's cousin?"

A few people whispered to each other, and when they saw the boy's appearance clearly, they took a breath and said, "It really is blue eyes."

Someone quickly realized that not long ago, the Crown Prince of Xianju Palace had angrily rebuked Gao Bin. All the families were curious about what had happened, so they sent people to secretly inquire about it so that they could know the whole story so as to avoid it. Naturally, they heard some clues.

His Highness rescued a foreign actor from Gao Bin - the adults and the landlords on Baifu Street have all glorified him. Once the imperial edict was issued, everyone in Shengdu knew that there was a new prince, and no one dared to gossip about him behind his back and slander him.

Therefore, the "dirty drama" was gone, buying people became saving people, and it was almost true that Gao Bin was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

"But why did you bring him here?", "Would you like to have some fun today, or maybe perform for us?"

Everyone talked for a while, and when Liu Qian and Wang Yuansun came closer, they stopped chatting. Li Ze stayed in the crowd. He came late and didn't know some things, so he listened to everyone's conversation quietly. After understanding a few words, his eyes fell on the foreign actor and he thought to himself: What a good-looking man.

"I, Xu Lingguan, greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Lingguan's eyes lit up when he saw the Crown Prince, and he stepped forward and knelt on one knee to pay his respects.

Xuan Fu smiled and said, "Get up, don't be too polite." He then said to his classmates, "We are out for fun today, so don't be too polite. Don't be so polite."

Everyone agreed.

Li Ze looked at the actor who stood up. His surname was Xu. Was it Xu before or later? He knew that the prince was surnamed Xu when he was raised under the name of the 9000-year-old man in the East Factory.

Keep calm and wait and see.

Xuan Fu asked everyone not to revolve around him. Those who wanted to take a boat ride could go on a boat, and those who wanted to fish could go to the first floor. After everyone got used to it, they could play some small games such as: pitching a pot, skipping stones, and spinning tops.

Everybody obeyed the order. It was a rare opportunity to play in the palace, so they had to have fun. To be honest, these students must have felt restrained at the beginning. In order to please the prince, they had to act relaxed. But when they really admired the beautiful scenery and looked around, they felt suddenly enlightened. No one restrained them from playing and fighting, and the ten-year-old students soon started to have fun.

Xu Lingguan followed behind His Highness.

"You look a little different." Xuanfu looked carefully and nodded, "You look much more energetic."

In the past, Ling Guan had a kind of melancholy temperament, the kind of "pitiable", and a heavy smell of powder, like a charming little girl, and a bit of "innocent" and seductive feeling, but now, in such a short period of time, Xu Ling Guan's eyes and graceful figure have turned into a straight and upright person, and his spirit is also high and refreshing.

It can be seen that Liu Fu taught very well.

Whether it was teaching him boxing skills, he probably also comforted Xu Lingguan.

Xu Lingguan smiled shyly and said, "The general's mansion treats me very well. Young Master Wang also taught me boxing and calligraphy."

Xuanfu was a little surprised by this. Wang Yuansun taught Xu Lingguan to write?

"Very good, learning characters is very good."

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Qiang shouted loudly: "Great! Awesome!"

Xuan Fu immediately went downstairs without saying anything, and when he reached the first floor he asked what was going on. There were many people gathered at the bow of the boat, and the young eunuch stepped forward and said, “A few young masters are making a bet to see who can catch a fish first.”

Judging from Liu Qiang’s loud voice, it’s definitely not Liu Qiang.

"Who caught this?" He walked in and saw that there was indeed a big fish in the bucket. Sitting on the chair next to him with a fishing rod in his hand was Li Ang, and sitting opposite him was Li Ang's cousin Zhong Ziming.

Manyu Fu: No need to ask, he knows who wins.

"Li Ang caught it." Yan Huaijin said with sparkling eyes.

Li Ang was also very happy, "I didn't expect it to move after being thrown down for a while."

Zhong Ziming lost and blamed Liu Qiang for his loud voice that scared away his fish. Liu Qiang retorted: I didn't shout just now. Zhong Ziming said that Li Ang's fish came up and my rod also moved slightly, but you scared it away. Liu Qiang didn't believe it and thought Zhong Ziming was making excuses.

When the Crown Prince came, Zhong Ziming became scared and stopped arguing. He was afraid that he would be beaten by his father again when he returned.

"...If you didn't shout, then you didn't shout." Zhong Ziming followed Liu Qiang's words.

Liu Qiang: ? So quick, could it be that the rod really moved?

Xuanyuefu looked at him and said, "Liu Qiang, you are not suitable for fishing. Your loud noise will scare away a lot of fish. Why don't you learn how to row a boat?"

"Yes, I have learned how to row a boat now. When the weather gets hot and I learn how to swim well, we can have a competition." Liu Qiang rubbed his hands and asked Wang Yuansun if he wanted to go.

Wang Yuansun nodded, called Li Ze, smiled and said in a friendly manner: "We are not good at swimming, you stay in charge, and we will both feel at ease."

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Qiang thought it was a good idea.

Li Ze agreed.

After those people left, Zhong Ziming kept looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness didn't take sides with Liu Qiang, gave him face, and even coaxed Liu Qiang to go play and not make trouble here.

Many blessings looked over.

Zhong Ziming hurriedly averted his gaze.

Many blessings: ...

No, he doesn't eat people.

Besides, all the guests today were invited by him. As the host, he naturally had to entertain them and make sure they had a good time. Besides, they were all a bunch of elementary school students, and the dispute was just a verbal quarrel, some minor lawsuits, not a big deal.

He is a magnanimous prince.

Li Ang gave face to his cousin and said that it was just a coincidence that he caught it too quickly just now, so let's try again. Zhong Ziming saw that the prince didn't look at him, so he came as soon as he said.

There were fewer people watching this time, really.

Seeing that Liu Jian, Wang Yuansun, and Li Ze took seven or eight people on a large ship, Fu Xuan was eager to try it out. He took Yan Jinjin and Xu Lingguan on a small boat and said, "Let's go and take a look."

There are swans on the lake.

Duozi: I am just curious about what the Tanhualang looks like, isn’t it you two fathers???
