Chapter 73

Zhong Yun didn't even take Zhao Erxi with him.

The day before departure, Xu Xiaoman came back just after noon and went to Xuanzheng Hall to play with his cubs.

Xuan Fu hadn't attended classes for three days and had been like a wandering soul the whole day. He went to the Xuan Zheng Hall and began to study politics nervously. He didn't feel nervous, but rather that he was too relaxed. In fact, his two fathers saw it clearly and understood that he was afraid.

Zhong Yun basically didn't let Xuanyufu stay for long, and would send the children out to play after a while.

Xuanyifu's father, the emperor, had not treated him as a "child" for a long time since he grew up. He teased him, disliked him and argued with him every day. But now, he treated him like a cub, and Xuanyifu was not used to it.

He said so.

Zhong Yun: ...I laughed out of anger.

"Xuan Duofu, are you itching for trouble?"

Xuanxuanfu: Yes, yes, yes, it’s just right.

As soon as Xu Xiaoman came in and heard this, he immediately raised his brows. Why did Zhong Yun say that to Duoduo? He was about to leave, leaving Duoduo alone, and now he was scolding the child. Could it be that the child was not born by Zhong Yun?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Jiu Qiansui became, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Father, my good father, you have finally changed back!" Xuanyi Fu said happily.

Jiu Qiansui, who had just come in with a slight anger on his face, was stunned.

Then the couple looked at each other, Zhong Yun had a look of 'wrong' on his face, and winked at him, 'See, it's not my problem, Duoduofu has a problem', Jiu Qiansui replied, 'Even if Duoduo has a problem, you can't say it out'.

The sick prince was extremely happy and called him father first. Seeing Duoduo's happiness, Xu Xiaoman's slight anger disappeared and he forgot about "taking the matter to task" his wife. He happily asked, "Have you eaten lunch?"

Asked what to eat.

Xuanyu Fu answered one by one, and the father and son went to the side hall. Zhao Erxi served tea personally. The soft couch and small table where His Highness used to stay were filled with Xuanyu Fu's favorite snacks, including dried meat, dim sum, sweet, salty and sour flavors, and all kinds of peeled nuts, all peeled by Zhao Sanhua herself.

In short, Duoduo received a lot of favoritism in the Xuanzheng Hall during these three days - the two fathers loved their children to begin with, and now during these three days, Duoduo wanted to ascend to the sky, so the two fathers, one found a ladder while the other held the ladder for Duoduo to climb up, and they were afraid that it would be dangerous so the two fathers went up first to explore the way.

Xu Xiaoman sat down to eat some snacks and asked Zhao Erxi to get some checkers. "I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll play with Dad."

"Okay, okay." Xuan Duofu didn't really like to ask about government affairs. The more he listened to his father handling government affairs, the more nervous he became. He thought that if he encountered this problem, he would definitely not think the way his father thought.

At this time, the chessboard was placed on the table.

The father and son sat at each end. Xu Xiaoman said, "What's the point of gambling?"

"Dad, I have some nuts here, do you want to gamble?" Xuanyunfu asked. In the past, people gambled on nuts and snacks.

They, father and son, don't gamble with money when they play this game.

Xu Xiaoman shook his head and said mysteriously: "Dad wants to bet you a treasure map."

"?" Manyu Fu's eyes widened and he whispered, "Is it true?"

"Really? How could your father lie to you? Don't tell your father." Xu Xiaoman said the last sentence deliberately.

When Xuan Fu heard this, his face was filled with shock. "Oh my god, my father has a big secret behind my father's back." "Dad, is this your private money?"

"You underestimate my father." Xu Xiaoman stretched out a finger and shook it, lowering his voice and saying, "Do you know where my father is in charge?"

"The East Factory." Xuanyu Fu replied.

Xu Xiaoman nodded, and before he could say anything, he looked up at Zhao Erxi who was waiting for him, "You, take the people out, and don't eavesdrop. If you tell the emperor about this, I won't admit it. Let's see if he believes me or you."

Zhao Erxi: ...

Forget it, he's out.

There's no one in the room.

Xuan Fu didn't believe it at first, thinking that his father was just playing with him as a kid. But now, with the atmosphere creating a new atmosphere, he suddenly became nervous and curious, "What exactly is my father?"

"The last emperor of Dazhao was named Chu. You should know that Dazhao is actually very rich."

Xuan Fu nodded. He had studied history, especially the history of the fall of previous dynasties. Master Hu loved to talk to him about this the most, especially using examples of several incompetent emperors. Xuan Fu suspected that Master Hu was trying to scare him, telling him that he should learn his lesson. Look at how these incompetent emperors ended up in such a miserable way, and then look at how Zhao State was in decline and how even with talented ministers they were unable to turn the tide.

Tutor Hu loved to talk about several incompetent and useless emperors such as Emperor Bao, Emperor Xianming and Emperor Tianze. He would occasionally talk about how Emperor Zhao Taizu made his fortune, how the Zhao Kingdom perished and where the sudden turning point occurred.

Many of Fu also made their own tables to make things clear at a glance.

Zhao State had a history of three hundred years and basically had no imperial examination system. The court of Zhao State was composed of aristocratic families, who grew up with Zhao State and accumulated a lot of wealth.

At the end of his reign, Emperor Chu Zhi wanted to reform the imperial examination system, but he was poisoned to death after eight years in office. After that, there were seven emperors in a short period of twenty-three years. These emperors with the surname Chu were all puppet emperors of the two major families, the Yuwen family and the Lan family.

Zhao State fell into the hands of Emperor Chu Cong, but Emperor Chu Cong was only eight years old.

This blame is particularly exaggerated.

"The East Factory was renamed after your father ascended the throne, and I took over. However, in the previous dynasty, the two major clans had to put on a show. The eunuchs in the palace were basically from the two major clans. The eunuchs were in power, and each had their own interests. Although there was no clear government office, there was a name called 'Eagle Claw'. After our Taizu pacified the world and stabilized it, the two major clans, Yuwen and Lan, were all cut off."

"But think about it, it's easy to kill the two great clans according to their family tree, but how do we sort out those eagle claw eunuchs in the palace?"

Xuan Xuanfu understood some of what he heard. He first peeped at the door, which was closed. His expression was a little complicated, and he said in a low voice, "Father, it's not good for us to do this without our father's knowledge."

"I didn't steal anyone." Xu Xiaoman said bluntly.

Xuanyuefu was stunned and said, "That's right."

"Besides, this treasure map was only passed down by word of mouth among the eunuchs. It might not exist anymore." Xu Xiaoman's words were so vague that it was hard to tell whether they were true or false.

Xuanyu Fu: "Yeah, what if it's fake? It would be bad if my father knew that he had searched for it for a long time but came up empty-handed." He was happy for nothing.

"Your father is not a money-grubber."

"Yes, yes, yes." Manyu nodded his head, paused, and couldn't help laughing, "I am."

Xu Xiaoman also laughed, "Dad too."

The father and son laughed for a while, sharing a little secret. Xu Xiaoman then said the key point, "It has been almost a hundred years since the present dynasty, and there are only a few clues. I drew a map based on the oral description. Today, Dad will bet with you on the map."

Xuanyunfu opened his mouth wide, "Dad, is the bet so big?"

"I don't have any stakes."

"Let me think about it."

Xu Xiaoman took out a yellow, somewhat worn piece of parchment from his bosom, slapped it on the table, and said, "Dad has decided on the bet. No matter who wins or loses, this map is yours."

Manyu Fu was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. "Dad, you are at a disadvantage."

"Whether there is something that Yingliang said, Daddy won't lose anything. I'm sorry to bother you to run errands to find something."

Xu Xuanfu went to get the brown paper and touched it. He couldn't feel anything, but the old, mysterious color did have some shadow. He immediately said, "Okay, if I find it, Dad will take seven and I'll take three."

After he finished speaking, he quickly added: "How about Daddy take 70%, I take 20%, and give Father 10%, and take it out of mine."

"Okay!" Xu Xiaoman agreed immediately, "Our Duoduo is filial."

Then the father and son started playing checkers. Xu Xiaoman and Xuanyuefu were indeed biological father and son. They were almost equally skilled in chess and it was a "match made in chess". Either you win or I win, and they couldn't go up or down. During the game, he scratched his ears and cheeks and tried to figure out how to "build a ladder" to jump over. But it was obvious that he was only concerned about the head and not the butt. He did well in the first move but failed in the second move. He had to take one step honestly.

When Zhong Yun came in, he saw that the father and son seemed to be living a peaceful life. He sat next to Xiaoman and did not interrupt or teach them anything. He just drank tea and watched them carefully, with interest in his eyes.

After playing for an entire afternoon, they played nine games, and Xu Xiaoman won five games. But if they played ten games, it would be a tie. Xu Xiaoman said, "I don't want to play anymore. It's getting dark and we're having dinner. If Dad wins, I'll give you this map, but it's not too much. I'll get six, you get three, and your father gets one."

Zhong Yun didn't understand, his eyes were confused, "What is it?"

Xuan Fu was so frightened that he looked at his father.

Xu Xiaoman laughed dryly and said, "We bet on nuts."

"Then I won't eat it. Just give me all the blessings."

This made Duohuofu feel a little guilty, and he said, "Dad, how about you six, my father three, and I one."

"It's all right. It's up to you."

Zhong Yun: "Since you are so filial, I will eat it."

After the family finished their lively dinner, Xuanyufu said that he wanted to stay in Zichen Palace that night. The couple agreed. After all, they spoiled their son unconditionally.

At night, Xuanyu Fu went back to Dongchang first and carefully touched the "treasure map" on his chest. On the way back, he touched it three times to confirm that it was not lost.

The couple returned to the Zichen Palace.

Zhong Yun held Xiao Man's hand and asked, "Do you really believe in Xuan Fu?"

"You saw it all, yet you still ask?" Xu Xiaoman said.

Zhong Yun couldn't hold back his smile and cursed, "You little fool."

Xu Xiaoman pinched Zhong Yan, "Don't tell Duoduo, you didn't hear me. I told you to keep it a secret. Duoduo also said that he found the treasure and gave it to you. From the original two of him and one of you, now it has become three of you and one of him."

The more Xu Xiaoman talked, the more he felt that his own son was the best child in the world.

As expected, she is born to me.

Zhong Yun said this, but in fact he felt very relieved and said, "He is very good, innocent and kind, worthy of being our child."

That’s pretty good. If you praise a lot, then let your wife have some of the same.

As for the treasure map made of old kraft paper, the eunuchs of the East Factory just made it yesterday. If the governor asks, let's make it. The treasures of the two major families of the previous dynasty are no secret in the East Factory. Some people have looked for it out of curiosity before, but all came to nothing.

There are different opinions on whether it is true or not. Some people say that the clues left by the eunuch are just a trick. There is a real treasure but they don't know about it, and it is probably buried underground.

Zhong Yun said it was a lie, Taizu used drastic measures to eliminate future troubles, and hated the two major families so much that they initially raised the banner of "protecting the emperor". Later, when their troops grew stronger and their power became stronger, they started to "rebel". He said that the Chu family of the Zhao royal family had run out of luck, and those who harmed the people of the world were not worthy of being emperors, and they should be killed.

When Da Sheng came to power, he followed the will of heaven and the people and naturally wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Today, the Yuwen and Lan families have become extinct.

When the couple talked about this, Zhongyun also told them the secret of their dynasty. At that time, there had been wars for more than ten years. When their dynasty was established, the land was vast, the people were sparse, and people were short of money. Taizu had no choice but to dig for gold according to the message from the "Eagle Claw" of the previous dynasty.

In fact, it is digging imperial tombs and graves.

The ancestral tombs of the two major families were dug up, as well as those of the nobles of the Chu Dynasty. All the valuable gold and silver treasures were now stored in the Dasheng treasury for use by the people.

So when Zhong Yun heard about the treasure, he said with certainty that it was gone.

As for Xiaoman making this map, it was purely to coax the child. Duoduo is not as easily fooled as he was when he was a child. The couple is about to set off, and Duoduo must be very nervous staying in the Xuanzheng Hall every day to ask about government affairs, so they temporarily arrange a fun activity for the child.

For this purpose, Emperor Ningwu also added a lot of treasures to the 9,000-year-old "treasure map". As for the treasure hiding place, the gold diggers really encountered many secret rooms with mechanisms. They just found one, put something there, and waited for Xuanfu and his companions to open it.

When the couple decided to lead the army in person, they talked about the arrangements for this event in their casual conversation.

"If Duoduo is found, he will definitely be shocked when he sees the letters from us." Xu Xiaoman showed a hint of mischief on his face.

Zhong Yun hummed, "With his brain, I guess he still hasn't found us even if we both come back."

The Nine Thousand Year Old responded with an elbow.

"Duoduo is very smart."

"Yes, yes, yes." Emperor Ningwu clenched his nine thousand year old fist and responded with a smile.

Xuan Xuanfu returned to the East Palace with the treasure map in his arms. He felt like he was indeed the protagonist of a novel - his two fathers already had the full halo of being the protagonist, and now he has all the supporting features too!

As expected, he is my biological child.

Xuan Fu thought that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to put the map in the study. He searched around the room and finally put the map under his pillow - took it out and stuffed it into the pillow case.

After doing all this and waiting for a while, Wang Banban took his toiletries and clothes, and then Xuanyufu went to the Zichen Palace.

At night, the family of three were talking in the warm room. It seemed that the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. However, when Zhong Yun saw Xuanfu snapping his fingers from time to time, he became more serious and said, "I have a secret method of employing people. Do you want to know?"

"There is such a thing?" Xuanyuefu was surprised.

Zhong Yun took the letter himself and handed it to Xuanyu Fu. "I originally asked Zhao Erxi to give it to you after I left. Seeing that you are restless every day, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xuanyue Fu saw that there were as many as forty names of officials in the memorial, with their personalities, interests involved, and factions clearly written down - even if they were slightly related or had an ambiguous stance, all were written down.

"This thing shouldn't have been given to you. You have your own judgment."

But Zhong Yun loved his son after all. Xuandefu was less than fifteen years old and still young. In the past ten years, he and Xiaoman did not force Xuandefu to study hard. Now that they wanted to leave, it was all their fault, not Xuandefu's.

"The court doesn't have important events every day of the year. Just relax. Even if there are things, June, July and August are the rainy season along the Fujiang River, which is prone to floods and strong winds. Linbei County is located in the Central Plains and there was a severe drought five years ago. Wuzhou has also had a series of snow disasters, but Wuzhou has experience in snow control and the local officials are very practical and good. If we give Wuzhou relief silver, we don't need to send people there."

"If there is a severe drought or flood and you want to send people to the local area to provide disaster relief, these people can be used. It depends on the local officials' ancestral home. Choose officials from places close to the disaster. They know the customs of the people, so you must choose those who are upright."

"Since this concerns people's livelihood, we should use heavy measures instead of being tactful. If possible, we can mobilize nearby troops to prevent civil unrest and local riots."

"If you are still worried about the seriousness of the disaster, go to the East Factory and pick a few people to go with you."

"Don't you think it's simple?"

"Apart from people's livelihood issues, issues such as local officials' corruption can be delayed. If there is corruption, it means that there are connections between the upper and lower levels, involving a wide range of people, and there are local forces. Send smooth people to go, like Ji Min before. Ke An died, but Ji Min still had a conscience and friendship with Ke An, so he risked his life. Naturally, when things got to that point, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Various factors forced Ji Min to be brave and wise."

"Now that he has been promoted for four years, his courage has shrunk again. However, he has two subordinates with similar temperaments. Besides, Jiangnan Dao is a big clan. If it were other small places, Ji Min would be a butcher's knife. If you want to solve the problem quickly, let Ji Min go."

"If you want to train people, choose a young one to go and train him. It's a good opportunity to see what kind of character he has. As an emperor, you can't just have a few people in your hands. If you have too many people, people's hearts will change, especially in the officialdom. Power, money, beauty, few people will remain unchanged."

Manyu Fu was perceptive: "Father, are you talking about Lord Zhou later?"

Zhong Yun smiled, raised his hand and gently patted the back of Xuanfu's head, and said to Xiaoman: "Little fool, stop being stupid."

What? Xuan Duofu thought.

"I originally wanted to use Zhou Ruwei as a chess piece after the matter in Qianzhong is resolved. We'll see when the time comes. Zhou Ruwei is not good enough. Yan Ning is a little young and has not been trained in the court. Prime Minister Lin is too old and not as bold as before. He has started to seek personal gain. In fact, there is nothing wrong with seeking personal gain for the sake of future generations. It's just that he is useless. If he is more honest, he can leave a good reputation and resign and return to his hometown."

Manyu Fu guessed something, but said nothing more.

"Okay, you've finished your last-minute cramming. Go back to sleep." Zhong Yun said and sent the man away.

Xuan Fu held his secret book in his hand and said goodbye to his two fathers. His footsteps were brisk. People would be afraid of the unknown, but just like his father said about Ji Min, now he had to shoot the arrow on the string, and with the detailed secret book, he felt a lot more at ease.

The next day, before dawn, Xuan Fu woke up in a daze and asked Wang Banban, "Has my father passed away?"

"No, Your Highness. It's only the beginning of the afternoon."

It’s just past three in the morning.

"Then I won't sleep. Is the light on in my father's palace?"

"I'll go check and ask." Wang Yuanyuan went to find Zhao Erxi, who had also been on duty all night. At this time, the two of them gestured outside, and Wang Yuanyuan returned to the side palace and said to His Highness, "The emperor is calling out immediately."

Many blessed clothes have been put on.

When Xu Xiaoman saw his son dressed and came to pay his respects, he felt mixed emotions. Before going to bed yesterday, he told Zhong Yun that Duoduo was prone to sleepiness, and if he really fell asleep and missed the opportunity, he didn't know whether to wake him up or not. He was conflicted and hesitant for a while.

Unexpectedly, the cub woke up by himself.

The family of three had a hot breakfast. Zhong Yan and Xu Xiaoman were both dressed in armored generals today. Xu Duofu smiled and said, "Father and Emperor, you look so good in this outfit. You look so majestic and powerful when you kill everyone."

"Zhao Erxi, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a set for the crown prince." Emperor Ningwu said immediately, and then hurriedly said: "Since he is not going to the battlefield, let him wear it for fun and show off."

Only then did Xu Xiaoman agree.

Many blessings laughed.

"I'm leaving."

Before dawn that day, Emperor Ningwu rode out of Taiji Palace with his personal guards, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode to see him off. All the officials had arrived early outside the south gate of Shengdu and were waiting. When they saw the emperor arrive, they knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor" to see him off.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode all the way to the outskirts of the city, more than ten miles away, before he pulled the reins to a stop.

"Let's go back." Xu Xiaoman said.

Xuan Xufu did not cry, but nodded obediently, and did not dare to say anything like "you must come back safely". It was like raising a flag. The novel said that you cannot say such things when going to the battlefield, as it is unlucky.

The main force walked away, leaving only dust.

Manyu Fu stood there for a long time, then mounted his horse and said neatly, "Return to the palace!"

Only after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns will all officials dare to return.

There is General Manager Zhao in Xuanzheng Hall, who is very clear about some miscellaneous affairs. This time, Zhao Erxi appointed his apprentice Zhao Sanhua to accompany the army. The emperor always has to deal with some internal affairs. The emperor is worried about His Highness and keeps him here. He knows it.

Zhao Erxi's move was also for his apprentice's sake. Although the battlefield was dangerous, if he survived, going to the East Factory would actually be a good place to go. He would have a proper job as an official with a rank and could walk around the court. Now that he was in front of the emperor, Sanhua was young and not even the second in command, so he couldn't show up for important tasks.

This was also how Xiaoluzi found a way out for himself at the time.

But don't think about it, His Highness has Wang Yuanyuan by his side, and there are people standing by both the Eastern Palace and the Emperor. Could it be that Xiao Luzi wants to squeeze out Wang Yuanyuan and become the top leader of the Eastern Palace?

What big dreams.

That’s getting off topic.

Zhao Erxi put Wang Yuanyuan first in the palace, calling her "Brother Wang" all the time. Wang Yuanyuan couldn't stand it and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine? To be honest, you taught me before, so should I call you Master Zhao?"

"I don't deserve it."

"I don't think you're talking so fast." Wang Yuanyuan said, "We've been friends for a long time, it won't happen."

Zhao Erxi knew it in his heart, but he just had to do it for the sake of appearance. He did it, and when Wang Yuanyuan said so, he went downhill -

"You have eight eyes."

Zhao Erxi laughed, just chatting, and sighed: "Now that the emperor has left, many eyes are on Your Highness. It's not that I'm arrogant, but I'm in a position of respect for you and Your Highness, and I'm doing it for the outside world to see. Don't say anything about you, but when you, Wang Yuanyuan, the chief steward, go out, are you acting like the Eastern Palace? Are you representing Your Highness?"

That's right. No wonder. Wang Yuanyuan stood up straight and bowed to Zhao Erxi, "My master."

"It's your turn." Zhao Er smiled happily, but he was thinking in his heart that Wang Yuanyuan really loved the Crown Prince and treated him as her own son. Wang Yuanyuan would swallow her pride and take seriously anything that was good for the Eastern Palace, no matter how small the details were.

No wonder His Highness values him so much.

The two chatted for a while. Zhao Erxi looked at the time and said, "The cabinet wants to report on government affairs. I'll go tell His Highness."

On the first day after his father passed away, Xuan Fu felt a little uncomfortable, especially when Manager Zhao said that the cabinet would report on government affairs from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and then his father would review memorials until noon. In the afternoon, he would send the reviewed memorials back, and would ask in detail about any uncertainties or omissions, and then continue reviewing memorials.

Now it's all his doing!

But when it came to the actual work, Xuanyifu felt that it was not so bad. The cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Lin, had basically agreed on the government affairs, and he just had to report to him. He felt quite relaxed, but then he thought something was wrong. Finally, everyone left, and Xuanyifu stayed with Master Yan and asked, "Did my father tell me in advance that the cabinet should handle the ordinary government affairs?"

Yan Ning bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Your Highness is smart, that's exactly it."

No wonder it's so easy.

Xuanfu found that the teacher's attitude towards him had changed, and he treated him as an adult, a half-king. Xuanfu was not in the mood to chat - because he didn't know what to talk about, he and the teacher had no topic.

After finally finishing his morning work, Manager Zhao came to ask him if he wanted to set the table.

"Put it up - wait a moment." Xuanyu Fu hesitated.

Chief Steward Zhao waited respectfully to hear His Highness's instructions. However, Xuanyu Fu waved his hand and said, "It's alright, go ahead."

His Highness looked at the unfinished words. Zhao Erxi asked the eunuch to serve the meal, and explained it to Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan said, "Your Highness is bored eating alone, so I'm afraid you want to invite friends to come. But Your Highness makes friends on an equal footing, and he's afraid that the other party will feel uncomfortable if he treats them like this. What's the point of calling them and dismissing them at will?"

Zhao Erxi:?

He served the emperor, and he really didn't understand this. If the emperor invited people to eat together, it was a great honor, and he was extremely happy. Who would dare to complain? Complain about his long life or his high position?

"Your Highness...you are worrying too much." This was all Zhao Erxi could say.

Wang Yuanyuan: "Your Highness values friends."

The two were talking, but Zhao Erxi really couldn't understand. Wang Yuanyuan also didn't know how to say to Zhao Erxi: Don't worry about what our Duofu is thinking. What Duofu thinks is right anyway. Don't talk nonsense and don't show it on your face!

Two figures were approaching from afar.

Wang Yuanyuan was talking to Zhao Erxi in her heart. She looked up and saw it. She was immediately excited and said, "Ask the imperial kitchen to serve more dishes." Then she went forward to greet him and saluted with a smile, "Master Li and Master Yan, why are you here? I'll go and tell them. Please wait a moment."

He was afraid that the person would change his mind at the last minute and leave, so he tried to keep him.

Wang Yuanyuan hurried to the side hall and said, "Your Highness, Master Yan and Master Li want to see you."

"Yan Jinjin and Li Ang? Let them in quickly." Xuanyunfu's eyes lit up, he stood up happily and walked out to greet them in person.

The three met at the door.

Yan Huaijin and Li Ang saluted, and Xuanyue Fu happily took their hands and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Go inside and talk!"

Xuanyunfu was so happy that he said to Zhao Banban, "Prepare more dishes. My classmate likes light food, so let's serve some seafood. Li Ang and I have similar tastes, but he likes hot and sour food."

Zhao Erxi said hurriedly that he had just given the order.

When His Highness led his men in, Zhao Erxi gave Wang Yuanyuan a thumbs up. Wang Yuanyuan politely replied, "My family serves His Highness, and Master Zhao serves His Majesty. It's the same thing."

The three of them entered the side hall.

Li Ang also relaxed a little, and said, "I haven't seen you in the palace these days. In addition, the emperor is going to the army today, and we just finished our morning class. Yan Huaijin asked me if I wanted to come and see you. In fact, I was also worried that you were just going to Xuanzheng Hall. I was always afraid. Fortunately, Yan Huaijin was there to accompany me."

"Xu Xuanfu, you won't be going to Chongming Hall anymore. Can I come to see you?" Yan Huaijin asked, his face a little tense, and said, "You haven't come these few days, no one sits next to me, and I miss you a little when I eat."

Many Blessings: Woohoo.

Best friends ever.

The author has something to say:

His Highness Duozai: Hugging two friends and crying
