The people in Yipinzhailou also knew that the emperor asked Cao Xiangnan to take Qi Wanfeng and several children to the palace. He could still see the high walls of the palace from where he stood. Fang Ziye said "hmm", and he knew it. Since that person wants to see the child, then let him see him.

In the blink of an eye, Baoer has grown up so much that even his biological father doesn't know who he is. He is sorry for his child and can't give him anything.

He looked at the high walls of the deep palace, and that person was inside. They were separated by not only such a wall, but also a distance that could not be crossed. For a moment, Fang Ziye also thought in his heart that it would be better to go in there. He could stand by that person's side openly, and fight for a place for his child, so that his child would not have to live so aggrievedly. What he wanted, that person would not give him.

But this thought came to his mind, and he suppressed it.

How about this? In the palace, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty, but my heart is with the mountains and rivers, not in the court. I am afraid that I have failed your Majesty's kindness." Cao Xiangnan knelt on the ground and rejected the emperor's kindness. He knew his own weight. If he was asked to go home to farm, he might be able to do well, but if he was asked to be an official, he might not be able to do well in the job.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand to let General Cao go down first.

Cao Gang glanced at Cao Xiangnan who was kneeling on the ground, and knew that His Majesty would not really do anything to Cao Xiangnan, so he said goodbye and went out.

Close the door inside, and he will stand outside the door to guard you. Get up. "The emperor said.

Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Xiangnan cursed this evil feudal society in his heart. He would never enter the palace again even if he was beaten to death. His knees were about to become numb from kneeling so much. Although he was complaining in his heart, he still had to be respectful on the surface. The emperor sitting on the throne quietly examined Cao Xiangnan, and he looked at him until he was scared. Then the emperor said, "Sit down. I didn't call you to the palace to punish you.

The things Cao Xiangnan gave him were enough for him to keep this man by his side and use him, but he didn't expect this man to reject him out of the blue. The emperor was not angry about this. The things in Cao Xiangnan's hands made him have enough patience with him. What's more, even if he didn't stay by his side, he would be used by him for the rest of his life.

Thank you, emperor. Cao Xiangnan Nancai sat down. Before he came, he had already prepared for the questions that the emperor might ask him. The emperor came to him just for what he had in his hand. The emperor wanted to govern and manage the country better and wanted the country to become more prosperous and powerful. It just so happened that he had what he wanted in his hand. Later, Cao Xiangnan directly raised the most core issue that touched on the country's becoming powerful. Feng Lingxiao was a smart emperor. He believed that he knew how to do it. It was not his business after this. Cao Xiangnan was also He naturally hopes that the country can become prosperous. Only when the country is strong can the lives of the people be stable. However, the development of a country takes time. No one can transform a backward country into a strong and prosperous country in one go, not even him who came a few years later. He can give some suggestions, but the leader still has to look at the emperor in front of him. The closed door was opened from the inside for a long time. Cao Xiangnan walked out from inside and saw Cao Gang standing outside the door. The two of them After a glance, Cao Gang knew that Cao Xiangnan had nothing to do with His Majesty, and he did not ask what they talked about inside. He knew that some things were not for him as a minister to know.

No one came out to call him in, so Cao Gang knew that he had nothing to do, and the two of them went out together.

When they went out, they happened to meet Qi Xiang coming here.

"I have seen Qi Xiang before." Cao Gang's official title was lower than Qi Xiang. He had to pay his respects to Qi Xiang when he met him. Cao Xiangnan followed suit and paid his respects. He had heard of Qi Xiang's name, but this was the first time he had the honor of meeting him in person.

"General Cao, no need to pay your respects." Qi Xiang had a gentle and elegant appearance, and his smile gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. The status of military generals was not as high as that of civil officials. Civil officials always looked down on military generals, thinking that military generals were rough and vulgar. Qi Xiang is one of the few civil officials who gets along well with military generals. Civil officials rely on literature, while military generals rely on martial arts. The world was conquered by military generals. Civil officials only know a few words at best. If these powerless civil officials were sent to the battlefield, they might not be able to win. The

current emperor was born a military general. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he appointed many military generals, and the status of military generals was greatly improved. Whether they are civil officials or military generals, they all serve Dafeng and are all ministers of the emperor. Qi Mingyu does not separate civil officials and military generals. He believes that only when civil officials and military generals are combined can they govern the world together.

Seeing the young master following General Cao, Qi Xiang took a look.

Cao Xiangnan, who happened to be standing behind Cao Gang, raised his eyes to peek at Qi Xiang, and was caught by the other party. He then smiled broadly, which made Qi Xiang laugh. Is this the person that their Majesty summoned? He had heard a little about the Zhenmenguan incident, and he took a closer look at the boy. He

nodded to General Cao, saying that he still had something to do with the Majesty. The two groups of people passed each other, and Qi Xiang led his people inside.

At this time, Qi Wanfeng was still in the Yu Garden with the children. They followed the palace servants who led the way into the Yu Garden, and saw the Queen and the little prince in the Yu Garden. Qi Wanfeng was sitting there talking to the Queen, and when she saw her husband coming over, she knew that he was looking for them. She didn't expect that they had been sitting there for so long. "

I, a humble servant, have met the emperor.

All of you please stand up." When Liang Xijun saw the young man following General Cao, he knew that he was the one summoned into the palace by His Majesty. But he didn't know why His Majesty would summon such a person into the palace, and even he, the emperor, didn't know anything about it beforehand.

"Thank you, emperor.

"Daddy." When Bao'er saw his father coming, he ran to his father with the kite, wanting his father to play with the kite with him.

Cao Xiangnan grabbed the boy and suddenly remembered that Bao'er was also the emperor's son, and was born to the emperor's mistress outside the palace. If the emperor knew about this, they would probably not be able to leave the palace today. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and felt that it would be best for them to leave the palace as soon as possible. This place is too dangerous! It’s better not to come here again in the future.

I don’t know what the emperor is thinking. He knows what kind of place this palace is, but he still lets him bring several children here!

Does he want little Baoer and the little prince to cultivate brotherly love? It will be a blessing if the two brothers don’t fight to the death in the future.

When he goes back, he must teach little Baoer well. He should not have the intention to harm others, but he must be on guard against others. They should take precautions in advance. What if they don’t have the intention to harm others, but others don’t let you go? If you don’t want to become a dead soul under the knife of others, you should first make yourself... their Baoer become strong, so that in the future, no one will be afraid of anyone!

Receiving the gaze from her husband, Qi Wanfeng stood up and said goodbye to the emperor, knowing that they were going back.

Wan Wanfeng, if you are free outside, please come to the palace and sit with me. I think the prince also likes your child very much. "

Liang Xijun has not forgotten that his little prince likes to play with that brother. He looks good and is a few years older than his prince. After a few more years of training, he can serve his prince. If his prince likes it, it would be nice to arrange for him to come to the palace to accompany his prince in the future.

Yes." Qi Wanfeng responded, not knowing that the king was already planning to take advantage of his little brother.

The little prince finally got some new friends. They had just gotten to know each other and were about to leave the palace. He suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and burst into tears. His face turned red and he held An An tightly and refused to let go. Liang Xijun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt very distressed and had to let everyone stay in the palace for lunch. Only then did the little prince burst into laughter.

After lunch, the children were so sleepy that they were coaxed to sleep. Liang Xijun asked the palace servants to send everyone out of the palace.

After seeing everyone leave Changning Palace, Liang Xijun ordered the palace servants around him to find out why His Majesty invited them to the palace. He always felt that he had missed something important.

Yes. "The palace attendant replied.

When they left the palace and got on the carriage, the two little ones fell asleep as soon as they got on the carriage. Qi Wanfeng covered the children with a small quilt. Thinking of the little prince who cried and refused to let them go, and who fell asleep when they left, Qi Wanfeng smiled and said, "I wonder if the little prince will cry when he wakes up and sees us leaving the palace." "

He is the little prince, and there will be people to coax him. We don't have the right to worry about him." Cao Xiangnan saw the little guy snoring, and reached out to pinch his nose. The sleeping little guy waved his little hands to chase away the big mosquito that disturbed his sleep. Qi Wanfeng glared at his mischievous husband, and Cao Xiangnan quickly took his hand back and spread his hands, with an expression that said I did nothing.

"My husband is right. Although this palace is rich, it is not as comfortable and happy as the outside world." Qi Wanfeng did not envy the splendor of the palace. He felt that they were happier living in Caojia Village even if they lived in a shabby hut than in this palace. Cao Xiangnan hugged his wife and agreed with him, "You are right. We are freer outside.

'My husband, when are we going home? "Gently patting the sleeping child, Qi Wanfeng looked up at her husband and asked, "Are you homesick?" Cao Xiangnan asked. Seeing him nod, he knew that he wanted to go home, so he smiled and said, "We will play here for two days and then go back. I will take you out for a walk in the afternoon to see if there is anything delicious to eat. If there is anything you want to bring, buy some and take it back.

OK." Qi Wanfeng smiled.

Little An'an, who was leaning against his father, asked his father if there was anything delicious here. Cao Xiangnan held his little brother in one hand and said, "You will know when you go out for a walk. Now that your father has told you, you will not be surprised at all." "In fact, he himself didn't quite know.

The carriage returned to the general's mansion, and they carried the two sleeping children off the carriage and took the children back to the mansion.

When the children woke up from their nap, it was already sunset.
