Chapter 254: Bo Qiaohui 66
"……good."
Liu Qi's voice was a little dry. He stood up and turned to look at Qiao Hui. Seeing her turn her head away to cover her face, he smiled and wiped away her tears with his hand: "I remember when we were first married, you cried like this too. It scared me so much that I didn't know what to do."
"I just cried that one time, how come you still remember it?"
Bo Qiaohui glared at him a little embarrassedly, but her red eyes made her look as pitiful and cute as she was back then.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Even if I die, I will never forget the time you cried."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense! You don't even know the taboos at your age."
As they were talking, they started arguing again. Che'er walked in with Cheng'er. As soon as they came in, they saw the Queen Mother giving his father a cold look.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress." He led his third brother to pay their respects to his parents without any change in expression before standing up.
At this moment, the royal couple regained their dignity in front of others. Liu Qi nodded modestly and asked, "Why did you bring your brother here now?"
"Replying to the Emperor, he sneaked out to watch me riding a horse today, and even forced the guards to let him try it while I was away."
"What?!" Liu Qi's face immediately darkened as he looked at his third son, who was hiding behind Liu Che. "Your eldest brother, Zhuifeng, has a violent temper and won't let anyone get close to him easily. How old are you and you dare to act like a hero?"
"Come out and stand still!"
Liu Qi shouted loudly, and Liu Cheng quickly walked around from behind his brother, lowered his head guiltily and dared not look his parents in the eye.
"Oh, you know you did something wrong. I thought our Prince Qinghe didn't think he was wrong at all."
It was rare for Bo Qiaohui to be so sarcastic towards a child. She was truly infuriated by this audacious boy. "You're having trouble even climbing the little mare your father gave you, and you're still thinking about your brother's Ferghana horse?"
Seeing that his younger brother was lowering his head lowered more and more, if this was not the Xuanshi Palace, Liu Che was afraid that his younger brother would have to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"Father, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, I have just spoken to him, and Ah Cheng knows he was wrong. I came here this time to take the initiative to admit my mistake to you."
Otherwise, Liu Cheng would be in big trouble if they found out.
Seeing Che'er's friendly relationship with his brothers, Liu Qi was very satisfied. But when he turned around and looked at his son again, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Speaking of their four brothers and sisters who are born from the same mother, there is no need to mention the crown prince, who has been taught by famous teachers since childhood and can definitely be said to be proficient in both civil and military affairs; the second son, Liu Rong, although a princess, is born with extraordinary strength. If it comes to strength, perhaps only her eldest uncle Bo Qin can compete with her; the third son, Liu Yue, prefers literature, but his martial arts skills are also not weak.
The only exception is this little one, who is completely clueless in martial arts, especially riding and archery.
But he also has his own strengths. As long as it has to do with hands-on work, he can learn it immediately: drawing, mathematics, mechanical engineering...
To be honest, if she wasn't sure that she didn't have this ability, Bo Qiaohui would have suspected that she had given birth to a time traveler, and a science student at that.
Liu Qi even specially brought people from the Mohist and Gongshu schools for his son. Unfortunately, his worry that his son would be taught astray by these two schools did not happen, because Liu Cheng - did not like to do these things at all!
He likes things that he is not good at, especially the horse riding and archery that are so bad that they are unbearable to watch!
What is this? A skill-avoidant attachment personality?
Facing the troublesome Liu Cheng at this time, the couple sighed in tacit understanding, looked at each other, and simply threw the responsibility to Crown Prince Liu Che.
"Well, Che'er did a good job. In that case, I'll leave Ah Cheng to you to teach from now on."
Seeing Che'er about to speak, Liu Qi quickly said, "Your mother and I are also old. In the future, these brothers will have to rely on you."
"Yes, and besides, when you get married and have children, you'll have to learn how to be a father. People say an elder brother is like a father, and you can learn how to be a good brother from Ah Cheng."
Bo Qiaohui followed suit, and they both stood up, as if suddenly remembering something: "Oh, by the way, the Empress Dowager just sent someone to invite me over. Your Majesty, would you like to go with me?"
"Let's go together. It's been a long time since I've been with my mother."
The two men walked away while talking, leaving the two brothers Liu Che and Liu Cheng staring at each other.
"Brother..." Liu Cheng smiled innocently, but his hand had already grabbed Liu Che's sleeve, "Where are we going now?"
"Where else can we go? Come with me to Taiji Hall." Liu Che glared at him, but still took Liu Cheng's hand helplessly. After all, he was his biological brother from the same father and mother. Could he just throw him aside and ignore him?
Thinking of the boat, knife, and a map of Chang'an that Liu Cheng had made for his birthday, Liu Che's eyes instantly became extremely sharp:
He just couldn't believe it, and he had to get this genius brother back on the right track! Then he would let him draw maps for him, repair canals, and make weapons!
Liu Cheng looked at his back curiously. Why did he always feel a little uneasy?
"Acheng, how about accompanying your brother to practice martial arts?"
Liu Che's gentle voice immediately caught Liu Cheng's attention. His eyes lit up and he looked at his eldest brother with sparkling eyes: "Crown Prince, are you really willing to take Ah Cheng to practice martial arts?"
"Of course it's true. When has my brother ever lied to you?"
"That's great! Acheng likes the prince the most!" Liu Cheng was led away by Liu Che without knowing anything, and had no idea that he had jumped into the dangerous trap set by the older boy.
On the other side, Bo Qiaohui and Liu Qi did come to the Queen Mother's bedroom, but they didn't expect that there was already someone sitting inside.
Bo Qiaohui looked at the beautiful woman next to her with a headache, and regretted leaving Acheng to Che'er. The retribution in this life came too quickly.
"Your Majesty, we finally meet. It's so difficult to see you nowadays."
"You're joking, Princess. I've been busy with palace affairs lately. But if you invite me, I won't refuse."
Bo Qiaohui's words were not false, but it was hard to say whether Guantao believed it or not.
It was said that after she lost face in front of the Queen because of A Jiao eight years ago, Guan Tao had gone dormant. It was not until other concubines' children appeared in the palace that Guan Tao tried to get in touch with a few of them.
Unfortunately, she is not stupid. She doesn't want to let her precious daughter marry those conspicuous guys, let alone whether she can push them up.
The only one she was satisfied with was Liu Pengzu, son of Li Ji. He was not much older than the empress, not her own son, and was quite intelligent.
This is also why Li Ji and Liu Pengzu had delusions before.
Unfortunately, in this life, Guantao's influence on his younger brother was very limited. And the power in the palace had long been handed over to Bo Qiaohui by Dou Yifang.
Her wishful thinking failed.
