Chapter 19
With tomorrow's outing in mind, the day's classes passed slowly and quickly. Anyway, who can understand the excitement of anticipation? No one understands Duoduofu's feelings. Everyone is curious about whether Duoduofu went to Xuanzheng Hall yesterday to see the emperor.
During lunch break, everyone gathered around many blessed seats.
I watched many Fugong classes yesterday. After the beginning, I found that many of the Fu people were quite nice. I was not shy today. After Li Ang came up, everyone came up to him one after another.
Many blessings:?
Why are all the classmates gathering around his desk?
"Duofu, did you see His Majesty yesterday?"
"What does the emperor look like?" said a brave and curious classmate.
"You can't look the Holy Face in the face. My father taught me that."
"Aren't you curious about what His Majesty looks like?"
Of course, he was curious, otherwise he wouldn't have been here, so everyone quieted down and looked at Xuanyifu. Xuanyifu: Let me think about it, modify the language, and see how to say it.
After all, I can’t just say: I arrived at the Emperor’s place, and I was called up without kneeling down to pay my respects. Then I complained that the stool was too hard and ran to the Emperor’s temporary rest room. I ate three plates of snacks, and then I took a nap, lying on my back. When he woke up, there was still a blanket on his stomach…
You can't say anything. If you say anything, it will seem like he is bragging.
"Yes, I've paid my respects. Your Majesty has some government affairs to attend to, so I'll go to the side hall to wait." Xuanyifu said.
The students' eyes lit up and they urged Manyu Fu with their eyes, "And then?"
"I've been waiting for a long time." Indeed, he ate three plates of snacks, did some homework, and then took a nap.
Zhong Zikai unknowingly walked outside the crowd. When he heard Xuan Duofu say that he had been waiting for a long time, he could not help but sneer with contempt. These people in the class said that Xuan Duofu was very powerful and had met the emperor. They said that the emperor valued him very much. Now it seems that most of the things were exaggerated by Xuan Duofu.
Look, Xuan Xuanfu waited for a long time in Xuanzheng Hall, but the emperor did not summon him.
"It was around night, when it was dark, I can't remember when, my father came back to pick me up. The emperor saw that my father had worked hard, so he invited us to have dinner with him." Xuanyuefu said.
They were all children, very curious about the emperor, and wanted to hear more.
Xuanyuefu thought for a moment and said, "The emperor is very majestic and doesn't like to talk much. I'm a little scared." No wonder, after knowing that he is his own father, he has the confidence to say, "The person you beat to death is your own son."
Of course, he is also very well behaved and won't do anything bad.
"It's as it should be.", "Your Majesty, the true dragon emperor is naturally very majestic.", "Xuan Duofu, you are already very powerful.", "Did the Majesty ask you about your homework?"
It's really a letdown when adults talk about children's homework at the dinner table, but he has two good fathers who don't ask! Hehe. Manyu Fu said, "My academic knowledge is average, but the emperor encourages me to be diligent." He was afraid that he would run out of ideas if he continued to ask.
So Duoxianfu changed the subject and praised: "The food in the imperial kitchen is really delicious."
"It's better than our lunch."
The classmates nodded one after another. Of course, they were students. Thanks to their family’s good fortune, they were not even considered as the emperor’s subjects. The lunch they ate was definitely not prepared by the emperor’s imperial chef.
"I've eaten it too. When His Majesty ascended the throne on New Year's Day, a banquet was held. My father went to the palace to attend the banquet. My mother and I were at home. Around 12:00 p.m., the eunuch from the palace came and said that His Majesty had given us some blessed dishes."
Xuanyu Fu looked at the classmate and said, "Then your father must be a good subject."
When many people saw it, other students also looked at it with curiosity and envy, and asked if it tasted good. Zhou Quan: Actually, it was not delicious. The food was cold when it was delivered to the house. Fortunately, it was relatively fresh and not very greasy.
"Delicious!" Zhou Quan was surrounded by his classmates' gazes, and the dishes in his memory became delicious.
So face-saving!
"Wow."
Zhong Zikai sneered again.
Xuanyun Fu had heard it long ago. The man laughed louder and louder, with a cold and sarcastic tone. He was too lazy to give him a look. Who knew that Zhong Zikai would finish his sneer and stand outside and shout, "It's just a dish of blessing. I used to go to the palace often for banquets, and the food was always hot. There's nothing to brag about. Look at you and Xuanyun Fu, you are so cocky."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan's face turned slightly red with embarrassment. His father taught him not to be frivolous in the palace and to study hard. But today he couldn't help but say something... Oh no.
"Zhong Zikai, you really love to make fun of your classmates." Xuan Xuanfu stood up and looked at the blushing classmate, "What's your name?"
Zhou Quan: "...Zhou Quan."
Xuanyu Fu nodded, looked at Zhong Zikai again, and said seriously: "Student Zhou Quan's father was rewarded with a blessing dish by the current emperor, which shows that Lord Zhou is a good official and he did not lie. But you, Zhong Zikai, when did you eat the banquet?"
He must have been eating the feast of that bastard Zhongrui, who was only emperor for four years.
After his father the emperor came to the throne, he "restored order from the chaos". Those four years were not counted. It was all because of treacherous ministers and rebels who disrupted the government. Who dared to mention it?
A new emperor appoints new ministers, and Zhou Quan's father is a new minister.
When Zhong Zikai was questioned, he suddenly understood what he had blurted out and his face turned red. After all, he was not a fool. This member of the royal family still had some common sense.
Even when bullying his classmates, Zhong Zikai would only pick on the weak.
Seeing this, Xuan Fu did not want to argue. He just wanted Zhong Zikai to not cause trouble for him in the future and not come to him for no reason. He didn't know what to say as long as he didn't like Zhong Zikai and kept coming up to him.
How shameless.
"Let's go to the back and take a break."
"Okay, okay.", "I'm hungry after chatting.", "I don't know what to eat for lunch."
Everybody rushed out together, and no one laughed at or ridiculed Zhong Zikai - everyone knew that Zhong Zikai had lost the argument with Xuanyue Fu again this time, but no matter what, his grandfather was Prince Shen, the emperor's elder brother.
They were different from the children of the royal family. They would take imperial examinations or be recommended by officials to become officials and pursue a career in politics. Zhong Zikai was a playboy, and the two never interacted with each other.
It's best to keep things quiet.
Zhou Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was a little moved. He didn't expect Xuan Duofu to come out to help him and speak for his father. However, Xuan Duofu had offended Zhong Zikai again.
During the break after lunch, Zhou Quan found Xuanfu to say thank you.
Xuan Fu was stunned for a moment. What was he thanking for? He quickly realized that it was about the class. "It's okay. I was telling the truth." His father, the emperor, was actually quite stingy. He promoted his subjects and members of the royal family. He could reward Lord Zhou with a dish of blessing, which showed that Lord Zhou must be a good official.
"Zhong Zikai looks at you fiercely, you should be careful."
Manyu Fu: "It's okay. I don't worry about too many debts. I'm not afraid of being bitten by too many lice. He is just a louse and flea."
Zhou Quan: ...Xuan Xiufu sometimes speaks in a very down-to-earth and straightforward manner.
Xuanfanfu was feeling sleepy, so he didn't bother to greet Zhou Quan. He found his bed, lay down on it, straightened his body, pulled up the blanket to cover himself, closed his eyes, and snored Zzzzz~
Zhou Quan saw Xuanfu's movements with his own eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next moment, Duoduanfu, who had been sleeping in a proper posture, suddenly opened his limbs, wrapped his legs with the blanket and fell asleep on it.
Zhou Quan: ...I was shocked again.
He stood there for a while, and when he saw Li Ang paying attention to him, he said, "Xuandufu is quite interesting."
"He is indeed like that." Li Ang said softly, "It's much easier to be friends with him. Duofu is straightforward and funny, but he has a bit of a childish temper."
Zhou Quan returned to his bed. In fact, he could understand what Li Ang meant without thinking too much.
Most of the classmates' fathers were officials in the same dynasty, and their families warned them not to cause trouble. When they first arrived, they were all very reserved and afraid of losing their father's face and the reputation of the family. They tried their best to socialize like adults.
But Duoxuanfu has the temper that only three or four-year-old brothers in the family have.
It's easy to understand.
It's like Zhong Zikai looked down on them but would not take the initiative to bully them. In fact, they also looked down on the children of the royal family. They respected them on the surface but despised them in their hearts.
You don't have to worry about these things when dealing with Xuanyifu - but Xuanyifu has his adoptive father behind him, and his adoptive father is a eunuch. Zhou Quan frowned, but soon relaxed. It's just a friendship, don't think too much.
Xuan Fu didn’t know that his classmates evaluated him: he looked like a three or four-year-old child.
I woke up with a snore and it wasn’t long before class started. Sitting in class in the morning, I felt like time was going so slowly, but in the blink of an eye, school was over!!!
Tomorrow is a day off, and Master Hu has not assigned too much homework. We will still copy texts and practice calligraphy as usual.
When Xuanfu was in a good mood, he saw that Master Hu had a handsome face and a kind face. Master Hu: Xuanfu kept looking at him and smiling, there was something wrong.
"Xu Xuanfu, do you have any questions? Why keep looking at me?" Master Hu asked bluntly.
Xuan Xuanfu stood up and cried out with true feelings: "Taifu, I just think you are a good person and don't have any academic problems. See you tomorrow, Taifu."
Master Hu frowned, looked at Duo Fu again and again, and finally nodded, "get out of class dismissed." He paused, "See you the day after tomorrow."
The tutor and the attendant left.
The class became lively. After all, after ten days of classes, it was finally time for a day off. Everyone chatted while packing their schoolbags, just to get out before the palace gates were locked.
"Master Hu just said we'll see each other the day after tomorrow!"
"Many Fu said it first."
"It's not a question of who said it first, it's that Master Hu actually said see you the day after tomorrow!"
This was indeed very rare. Tutor Hu had always been very serious and stern when he taught, and he often had a gloomy face. Even if the students in the class did not understand something in their studies, they did not dare to ask Tutor Hu. They would take it home to figure it out on their own, or ask their father, or the teacher in the mansion.
As a result, today Master Hu actually said "see you the day after tomorrow", which is so strange.
"Maybe it's a holiday. Master Hu is happy to have a holiday." Xuanyuefu felt that the students were making a fuss. "Just tell me if you are excited about the holiday tomorrow."
"Excited.", "Happy.", "But will the Master be happy about this?"
Many people swore and said categorically: "Of course, if you are a human being, you will be happy to have a break and relax after working for so long, especially teachers, who have taught a group of children like us and their faces are blackened."
Master Hu always had a gloomy face.
It was already very hard to have a day off every ten days during the Great Sheng Dynasty. I couldn't help but start to fantasize that when I became the crown prince, I would immediately offer a suggestion to the emperor (bushi) to implement a two-day weekend a week. How great it would be.
If it really doesn't work, officials should have a ten-day break and students should have more winter and summer vacations.
Stupid animation cake little prince.jpg
Zhong Zikai listened to Duofu's nonsense, but he didn't go forward this time to avoid being embarrassed. He threw his schoolbag to the eunuch and said, "Go back to the palace."
The other little followers of Zhong Zikai followed him out of the hall. Someone asked, "Zikai, are we going to have fun tomorrow?", "Are we still going to Baifu Street to watch the fun?", "Baifu Street is for the low-class people, what's fun there? Let's go to Tianshuifang."
Zhong Zikai said sullenly, "If you want to go, go by yourselves."
"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow..." The younger brother shut up awkwardly. He couldn't even say 'see you the day after tomorrow'. Zhong Zikai had such a bad temper. Didn't he just say Xu Duofu?
Zhong Zikai's face was originally cold and arrogant, but he suddenly laughed, "I'm not afraid that you will tell Xuanfu about it. Tomorrow, my father and I will go out together to catch Xuanfu."
After saying that, he walked away.
The few people who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment, "Let's go." "If the news gets out, Zhong Zikai will be suspicious of us again." Some people also muttered, "It's just one day off, why is Zhong Zikai always feeling bad for Duo Xuefu?"
No one answered, and even if they guessed the reason, they were too lazy to say it.
What else can they be? They are just jealous, but who wouldn't be jealous? When the last emperor, the traitor, was in power, there were empresses and queens in the palaces who were not bad to their relatives. They could accompany their parents to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's family banquets, and sometimes they could even receive a few compliments.
But the current emperor is different.
It has been exactly four years since he came to power, except for the one court banquet he held in the year he ascended the throne - the guests at the banquet were all officials of the fourth rank and above, leaving the royal family aside. The emperor felt that it would be difficult to entertain the harem without a leader, so he did not hold the banquet.
well.
For four years, they have not been able to see the Holy Face, but many people can.
The heads of various families are saying: It will be great when His Majesty gets married and has a queen, then we can always have a family banquet...
Everyone is looking forward to it.
If Xuan Fu knew about this, he would definitely say happily: Just wait, the Queen will be my father, the Emperor will be my dad, and I will be the little prince, aren’t you surprised?
Everyone chatted for a while in the hall.
Zhao Erxi came to pick up the young master, "The emperor summons you."
"Coming, coming." Xuanyuefu waved and said goodbye to his classmates with his small schoolbag on his back.
Zhao Erxi led the way, looking less casual and more serious than usual. Manyu Duofu didn't notice it, but Wang Yuanyuan behind him narrowed her eyes. In the past, they treated Xiao Duofu well out of Xu Xiaoman's consideration. Zhao Erxi treated Xiao Duofu as his own nephew.
It’s different nowadays.
More considerate and respectful.
After sending the young master into the hall, Zhao Erxi and Wang Yuanyuan looked at each other, then tacitly looked away, each looking up at the sky and the ground, and both secretly said, "Just pretend you don't know."
It’s hard to say this clearly.
Since the emperor wants to keep it secret, they, as servants, have to pretend not to know even if they guess it.
When I came yesterday, I felt a little unfamiliar with the place, but today I was very familiar with it. After paying my respects to the emperor, I ran to the soft couch in the warm room to eat snacks. Today's snacks were salty, all made of crispy peanuts.
Xiao Luzi very attentively handed over a pair of soft-soled shoes and said, "Young Master, these were hastily made by the Internal Affairs Office overnight. Try them on to see if they fit your feet."
Manyufu was wearing the shoes of his emperor father yesterday.
Very big.
I didn't expect to have my own shoes today. So happy.
"Thank you, let me take a look." Xuanyu Fu sat on the couch and tried it.
Xiao Luzi was so frightened when he heard the word "thank you" that he almost died. Xuanyuefu looked at him and was a little suspicious. Xiao Luzi was not so frightened yesterday, but Xiao Luzi wanted to help him put on his shoes, so Xuanyuefu bent down and did it himself, forgetting about it.
"It fits well and is very soft." The sole is soft and the surrounding area is also soft. There is simple embroidery on it. It can be worn as a slipper or worn casually.
Xiao Luzi smiled and said, "As long as the young master likes it, it's good. The housekeeping department was in a hurry, so it lacks some style."
Many people didn't care about the style and started doing their homework.
He has to finish all his homework today so that he can play from dawn to dusk tomorrow! So cool!
Emperor Ningwu was in the main hall, and the father and son were separated by an outer room. When Duofu finished his work in one breath, Zhao Erxi came up and served Manduoduo sweet soup, saying, "Your Majesty said to put less sugar, fearing that eating too much sweet food would be bad for the teeth."
"Yes, my father said so too." Xuanyufu was very reasonable.
No wonder today's snacks have been changed to salty ones.
There were no dentists in this day and age, so we did have to be careful about consuming too much sweets.
Even though Zhao Erxi knew the truth, that Xiao Duofu was the emperor's son, he still felt soft-hearted at times, like now, why was Xiao Duofu so well-behaved and obedient.
"Where is Uncle Zhao Banban?"
"Your Majesty is still busy." Zhao Erxi bowed and said with a smile.
Manyu Fu: "Being an emperor is really tiring."
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler, working diligently day and night, and is a blessing to the people of the world." Zhao Erxi flattered him wildly.
Xuan Fu was hesitant to speak and went back, because his father, the emperor, was not one of them who worked day and night for the emperor.
The emperor's father in the novel is a very smart and powerful character, the kind of person who works very efficiently, finishes work during the day, and spends nights with his father. Zhao Banban praised them so harmoniously.
As the sky got darker, the emperor finally finished his day's work, and the eunuchs followed behind him and held up two -
"Kite!" Manyu Fu's bored and sleepy eyes suddenly lit up.
Emperor Ningwu saw this and said calmly, "Lord Xu sent it to me. See if you like it."
There is no difference between what he does and what Xiaoman does.
It's not considered cheating on children.
Xuan Fu knew it very well and was very supportive. Ta came over with his shoes, took the kite and placed it carefully on the couch. Zhao Erxi ordered the eunuchs to carry away the low table, and the space suddenly became much larger.
Emperor Ningwu made three kites, and one of them was broken. Zhao Erxi was standing by and didn't dare to say a word. Later, Emperor Ningwu asked Zhao Erxi to take the kite to the Internal Affairs Office, and asked them to make a frame and send glue. Emperor Ningwu was only responsible for pasting it.
Emperor Ningwu completed the task assigned by the Ninth Prince.
At this moment, Xuan Fu stood beside the couch, his eyes shining brightly, and turned to look at his father, the emperor, "So beautiful, uncle!!!"
It looks really good.
The memory of Emperor Ningwu breaking the bamboo branch in the morning faded away.
The little kite is very simple.
"When I fly into the sky tomorrow, many people will surely envy me." Xuanyun Fu is already looking forward to traveling tomorrow, which is why he has two kites. That's fine, he will fly one and then the other.
Happy.
Emperor Ningwu was also very happy.
That night, Jiu Qian Sui came back, and the family of three had dinner again, and then went back to their own homes. At the fork in the road, Jiu Qian Sui winked at Emperor Ning Wu: Don't go tonight, you have to get up early tomorrow. Emperor Ning Wu: That's fine.
Recharge your energy.
Prince Shen's Palace.
Prince Zhong was the eldest son of Prince Shen, so his mother was naturally his legal wife. However, Prince Shen had little affection for his first wife and doted on his concubines.
Prince Zhong had many half-born brothers and sisters.
If it weren't for the rule that the hereditary prince title must be inherited by the eldest son, it would not have been the turn of the second prince.
Prince Zhong was a man of little ambition and talent, a wealthy and idle man. He probably did not receive much fatherly love from his father, Prince Shen. Therefore, he loved his eldest son, Zhong Zikai, very much, and almost always responded to his requests.
Yesterday, Zhong Zikai came home from school in a rage. He was humiliated by Xuanfu and kept cursing all the way home: What's so great about that? Your dad took you out to play. Who doesn't have a father? Who cares?
Then he pestered his father to go out and play too.
Prince Zhong agreed at first, but then he was curious about why he wanted to go out and play. If he asked where to go, he might as well go for a stroll in the streets and watch a play, or climb a mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha, or go to a farm in the suburbs.
In the end, my son said no to all of them.
Zhong Shizi was puzzled. Zhong Zikai did not hide his true feelings and angrily told Xu Duofu about the quarrel he had had with him today. Zhong Shizi was also very angry and slammed the table, "He is just a little beggar taken in by a eunuch, and he dares to challenge you!"
"Just wait. Dad will send people to guard outside the palace tomorrow. Others may be afraid of the Ninth Prince, but we are not afraid of him."
He was not an official in the imperial court, so why should he be afraid of being arrested and punished by the East Factory?
Prince Zhong wanted to restore his son's face.
He was a prince, and he gave Xu Xiaoman face by calling him Lord Xu. Xu Xiaoman really took himself seriously. Why did his adopted son pretend to be so arrogant about royal blood? Prince Zhong had made up his mind. He would bring his son to run into Xu Xiaoman tomorrow, and in front of Xuanyifu, he would ask Xu Xiaoman a few words in a sarcastic tone. Xuanyifu would then kneel down and kowtow to him, and the matter would be over.
The father and son have a good idea and are looking forward to traveling tomorrow.
The next day, at daybreak, the East Depot's backyard was the first to get busy. The small kitchen showed off its cooking skills. The young master was finally going to sit down and have breakfast with the Ninth Prince, so the breakfast was naturally carefully prepared.
Xuan Xuanfu woke up today without being woken up. In fact, he woke up three times in the second half of the night, and each time he asked: What time is it?
The young eunuch on night watch answered.
It was still early. Xuanfu continued to sleep. He woke up before dawn, feeling refreshed and unable to fall asleep. He got up, dressed, and said to Sister Zhuyue, "My father and I are going to fly a kite and climb a tree today. Sister Zhuyue, please help me pack."
"I know, young master." Zhu Yue said with a smile. She had heard the young master go out to play many times.
Many blessings did show off several times.
It’s an autumn outing, and his father is taking him there, so of course he has to show off.
Xuan Fu didn't jump up and down, but his spirits were already dancing. Zhu Yue Zhui Xing was infected, and the two of them were full of energy after getting up early in the morning, with smiles in their eyes, and began to dress the little prince.
"How about this? A purple robe with narrow sleeves and a belt with wrist guards."
The robe was embroidered with red leaves in gold and red threads, which suited the scene very well.
"Okay!" Xuanyu Fu agreed, thinking of the high ponytail his father wore when he practiced martial arts, and gestured on his head: "I want to tie all my hair up like that, too."
The star chaser smiled and said, "I will comb the young master's hair. Then you don't need to wear a crown, just tie it with a leather headband."
"Okay!" Erlian said happily.
"Does the young master still have the sachet on his waist?"
"No, I want to hang a purse. I'll ask my dad for some pocket money to put in it later."
Zhuyue Zhuixing laughed when he heard it.
After tidying up, the father and son sat down to have breakfast. Xu Xiaoman was also dressed neatly and efficiently. He would definitely have to ride a horse when he went out of the city today. He did not like wearing loose robes with wide sleeves. When he saw that the cub looked like him, he could not help but feel proud and praised, "He is good-looking." He is worthy of being his son.
Many blessings to be proud of.
"I look like my dad."
hey-hey.
The father and son happily ate breakfast, wiped their hands, and set off. The palace gate was only a quarter open. Xuanyuefu was so happy that her ponytail swung as she walked. When she went out to play today, Zhuyuezhuxing followed her, and there was also a little eunuch to serve Xuanyuefu.
Everybody go out for some fresh air.
There were two carriages at the door, one for Zhuyue Zhuixing, with the young eunuch sitting on the shaft. The one in front was for Duoxianfu and his father.
"Hey, why is there another carriage, Dad?" Xuanyuefu noticed that there was another large carriage pulled by two horses.
Xu Xiaoman carried the child to the big carriage and said, "One carriage is for the things, you and Dad can sit in the big carriage."
"Okay."
Xu Xiaoman didn't know how to explain to his son that Zhong Yun also wanted to go out with them, so he simply didn't explain and got on the carriage directly. Then the curtain was opened, and Duo Fu, who was very happy, saw his father, the emperor.
!!!
No, ah, this. Manyu Fu turned to look at his father. Xu Xiaoman felt guilty and avoided his gaze. Then he met his wife's eyes and said in a normal tone, "The emperor is playing with us today. When Duoduo goes outside, call him uncle. Don't let anyone find out."
Dad, if it was really just a simple relationship between a subject and a minister, without any affection between husband and wife, they would not talk like that, nor would a family of three squeeze into one carriage. Xuan Xuanfu said, very happy, and climbed up and sat down obediently.
He even reserved seats for the two fathers, letting them sit separately.
Emperor Ningwu's eyes were full of approval, Duofu was very smart.
As a result, Jiu Qian Sui felt guilty and sat next to his own child to avoid suspicion. Emperor Ningwu: ...Okay, okay, you want to isolate me, right? Jiu Qian Sui winked: The child is here, don't go crazy.
Xuan Fu didn't understand at all, he just wanted to go out and have fun.
"Dad, give me some pocket money. Sister Zhuishing gave me a small purse today, and I want to buy things for myself." Xuanyu Fu asked for the money with confidence.
Jiu Qiansui was trying to coax his wife with his eyes, and upon hearing what was said, he took out a heavy purse from his arms.
"You install it yourself."
"Okay." Xuanyunfu took it obediently, sat there with his head down and fiddled with it on his knees. He opened his father's purse and emptied his own pocket. It was full of copper coins that jingled.
Emperor Ningwu said calmly, "Have you prepared it for me, Nine Thousand Year Old?"
Xu Xiaoman looked puzzled. "You want copper coins? That's right. Have you finished packing it?"
"Okay, Dad." Xuanyunfu handed over his father's purse.
After Xu Xiaoman took it, he stuffed it into his wife's arms and said with a manly face, "Here, you take care of my purse." After saying that, the roots of his ears turned slightly red.
Emperor Ningwu was satisfied when he saw this and he no longer got jealous.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the carriage - Xuan Fu was used to it and lowered his head to play with his purse. Soon the carriage started moving and set off!
"Dad, where are we going today?" Manyu Fu didn't know the destination yet.
Xu Xiaoman said, "Let's take you out of town. We can go out and play for a whole day. It's brighter outside."
"Dad, can I ride a horse?" Xuanyue asked with sparkling eyes.
Xu Xiaoman was a little worried. "I don't have a pony for you to ride. If you want, Dad will take you to ride a big horse."
"Okay, okay." Xuanyu Fu agreed readily. When he turned around, he saw the emperor's gaze. Xuanyu Fu: ...
Emperor father, you are too stingy.
Just ride, just ride.
Jiu Qiansui stayed in the carriage to avoid suspicion for a moment, and soon left the palace. After walking for a while, Zhao Erxi sent some snacks and tea. Jiu Qiansui personally poured hot tea to Emperor Ningwu, who looked like a painting, lowered his eyebrows and did not take it. Jiu Qiansui, who was fascinated by the beauty, sent it to Emperor Ningwu's mouth.
Emperor Ningwu took a sip and said it was good tea.
The Ninth Thousand Year Old Man could no longer move his sitting position, so he sat close to Emperor Ningwu.
My son is still here. Zhong Yun is really, in broad daylight - really annoying. Xu Xiaoman thought about the annoying person, but her face was full of joy. She sat next to Zhong Yun and they drank tea together.
Xuanyunfu had a seat to himself, nibbling on a plate of mini snacks.
Maybe they were afraid that he would be full, so the snacks in the car were smaller than those in the palace, and they didn’t leave any crumbs when eaten. Duo Nuofu took a few bites and drank some tea. From the angle he lowered his head, he saw that the two fathers’ hands seemed to be holding together?
Whose emperor and minister are secretly holding hands in the carriage?
And Dad, did you just touch the back of the emperor's hand?
Many blessings: ...Alas, it’s so depressing.
After finishing the snacks, there was no way to pretend to lower his head, so Xuan Duofu simply bent over and put his face to the window, with his head against the curtain, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside and their traveling team. It turned out that he and his father were going out, taking three or four people with them, just like last time.
As a result, there are now people on horseback leading the way in front, two cars behind, and a guard at the rear.
They are all Jinwu Guards.
Xuanyu Fu looked at it for a while, then retracted his head and asked, "How long will it take for Dad to get here?"
"Are you bored? Then you can take a nap. It will take another half an hour." Xu Xiaoman said.
The seat was very spacious. Xuan Duofu had just finished his snack and was a little drowsy when he heard his father's words. At first he sat very seriously, just like he was taking a nap at school, sitting very straight and well-mannered. But when he fell asleep he wanted to fall on the car floor and sleep next to his father's legs.
Fortunately, the carriage was covered with blankets.
"Duoduo didn't sleep well last night. He kept getting up and asking when the sun would rise. He's just like me when I was a kid." Xu Xiaoman went over and held the baby down to prevent him from rolling off.
Zhong Yun called Zhao Erxi to get a blanket.
After a while, Duoduofu felt happy and fell into a sweet and warm sleep.
Xu Xiaoman yawned as he watched his son sleeping soundly. He sat next to Zhong Yun and kept mumbling, "When I was six years old, my father was going to town and said he would take us with him. There was a master in town giving out porridge and steamed bread. We were really hungry at that time. I couldn't sleep at night and wished that the day would come soon."
Zhong Yun had never heard of this story, but he guessed that nothing good would happen in the town.
Xiaoman entered the palace and became a eunuch at the age of seven.
"Later, the three of us smoked weeds. My second sister was sold to the master's house as a maid. When she left, there were three siblings. When she came back, it was just me and my third brother."
"We couldn't sell the two of us. The housekeeper of the master's house thought my third brother was too tall and he was growing and ate too much, so he offered us a low price. So my father took us back."
The housekeeper said he looked stupid, and asked if he was a fool.
Xu Xiaoman got angry when it was mentioned, but she didn't mention it in order to save face in front of Zhong Yun.
"The next year, life at home was really hard and we were starving to death. We also had to cut the grass length. I thought I could be sold to the master's house as a long-term laborer to do hard labor, so that I could at least have enough food to eat."
"Zhong Yun, I got a long one that day!"
Xu Xiaoman's eyes are bright now when he recalls that day. He didn't think there was anything wrong with selling himself into slavery. Being hungry every day and having a stomach full of river water was too uncomfortable. It would be better to sell himself to work for others.
Zhong Yun held Xiaoman's hand. This fool must have thought that he was lucky.
"I was cut off without knowing what was going on - never mind, I won't tell you about this." Xu Xiaoman didn't want to recall that day. He happily thought that he would have enough food to eat in the future and work hard in his master's house. If he earned money after three to five years, he could send money back home so that his third brother and younger sister wouldn't starve.
There are only two children left at home.
Who would have thought.
Zhong Yun knew that for eunuchs sent to the palace, six or seven years old was the most suitable, as they had a greater chance of survival. They would be cleansed, starved, and not allowed to drink a single drop of water for the first three days, and then be cut off with a knife. Whether they lived or died depended on fate. Even if they survived, they would be slaves serving others for the rest of their lives.
His Xiaoman is not a servant, but my queen.
The most honorable nine thousand years old in the world.
Xu Xiaoman said he didn't want to think about it anymore, and things were getting better. It was only today when he saw Duoduo out playing that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that he thought about it - he didn't have any other good experiences, only this one.
"Zhong Yun, I'm lucky. I met you and I have Duoduo."
Hehe, this eunuch is really blessed with a good fortune.
Lengzi. Zhong Yun's mind was still thinking about Xiaoman, locked in a small room waiting for castration. He felt a little weird for a while, and couldn't suppress the messy thoughts in his heart. He always wanted to find a way out.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and Duoduo." Jiu Qiansui promised.
Zhong Yun looked at Xiaoman, held Xu Xiaoman's cheek with one hand, and then kissed him obsessively, very possessive and seeking a sense of security. He could really feel Xu Xiaoman's breath and confirm that his Xiaoman was still there.
Xu Xiaoman was stunned at first, then shyly thought, "There are so many more," while trying hard to respond.
Manyu Fu was drowsy when he heard some clicking sounds, and when he was half asleep and half awake he saw the two fathers kissing, and suddenly he was like: !!!
You two are here again!
The tone of this novel really hasn't changed.
But dad, dear dad, both of you, please pay attention to the occasion and care about your children.
Xuan Xuanfu closed his eyes tightly. He was just a nine-year-old elementary school student and saw nothing.
Fortunately... it was just a kiss. Xuan Xuanfu heard that there was no more noise, and he felt relieved. Fortunately, it was okay.
Wait for someone outside to shout. Manyu Fu: Great! Great!
Xu Xiaoman went to wake up the kid. Zhong Yun had already noticed that the kid was pretending to sleep and didn't know when he woke up. But it didn't matter. The sooner Duofu knew about the matter between him and Xiaoman, the better.
Xuanfu pretended to open his eyes, but when he saw his father's red lips, he dared not look any further and mumbled, "Dad."
"We're here, let's go down and play."
"Great!" True feelings.jpg
Zhong Yun: You pretend quite sincerely.
Manyu Fu fled for his life and got off the train. He may have slept for a while in the train. Although there were some "small setbacks", he was in good spirits. When he looked out of the train, he said, "Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Wow three times in a row, as if he has never seen the world before.
Xu Xiaoman was amused and stepped forward to say, "This is the famous Tanshui Township outside the city. There is an old temple on the mountain. If you don't go hiking, it's very open here. You can go horse racing, fly kites, and pick dates."
Zucchini Mountain is a smaller version of this place, but it's not as pretty or as big as this one.
Manyu Fu saw a waterfall cascading down from a mountain in the distance. It looked very spectacular even from a distance. He thought it would be very tiring to go into the mountain, so he immediately said, "Dad, let's just play here."
"OK."
The Jinwu Guards began to set up camp and clean up the place. Captain Huai Min approached the emperor, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, after the carriage set off, there were people waiting outside the palace."
No villain dares to enter the imperial city.
"They are guards from Prince Shen's palace, four in total. Two of them followed the carriage, and two returned to the direction of the palace. I did not chase them." Huai Min told everything.
His Majesty is traveling in plain clothes this time and trying to keep a low profile.
Zhong Yun nodded, understanding the meaning.
Huai Min retreated, only instructing his subordinates to be more vigilant.
Tanshui Township is very beautiful. Near the foot of the mountain is a large natural pond, shaped like a gourd. There are farmhouses around it. However, there are no farmlands on the land where they are, only short grass that has turned yellow and dry in autumn, and some trees around it.
Xu Xiaoman said to the boy, "During festivals, there will be a market here. In spring, some people from the city also come here to enjoy the spring and fly kites. Are we here too early today? I passed by here more than ten days ago and it was quite lively. There were adults playing with their children everywhere."
Jiu Qiansui came from a poor peasant family, so some of his interests are very down-to-earth.
Now at a glance, it was empty. Jiu Qiansui grumbled, told the kid to take the kite down first, and ran to find Zhong Yun, "Did you drive them away?"
"No."
Xu Xiaoman nodded, "Then it's not the right time yet."
In short, Zhong Yun said it, and Xu Xiaoman believed it.
Zhong Yun did not disappoint the trust, he indeed did not drive the people away - he painted two kites by himself and was going to fly them into the sky. If no one saw them, who would know that he made them for Xiaoman?
How can I show off?
"Sir Xu, the imperial carriage came out early, and it's only the beginning of the Si hour now." Zhao Erxi said.
That is nine o'clock in the morning. That is really early. It can be seen that Xu Duofu was anxious early in the morning. As a father, he certainly did not blame his son. Lord Xu immediately said, "Come out early, we still have to set up, I will find a place--"
"This is good. We can see the waterfall and the pool in the distance."
Zhong Yun will definitely like it.
After settling everything down, Xu Xiaoman called out to his son, "Let's fly the kite later."
"Okay, Dad. There's no one here now. My kite is up in the sky and no one can see it." Xuanyu Fu responded immediately. He was also a show-off.
Zhong Yun nodded affirmatively, Duofu is very similar to me in this respect.
"Come on, Daddy will take you to pick dates." Xu Xiaoman said majestically, "Didn't you say you wanted to ride a horse? Daddy will take you for a run, don't be afraid."
Xuan Fu suddenly forgot that his father the emperor was a jealous person, and agreed with a yes.
Xu Xiaoman first carried the baby on the horse, and Duo Xinfu jumped onto the horse's back. The horse was tall and he was a little scared. Then Xu Xiaoman quickly got on the horse and protected the baby in front of him, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid of my father!" Xuanfu said boldly, and finally saw that the emperor was looking at him. Xuanfu: ...I'm a little scared now.
However, Jiu Qian Sui was already holding the horse reins, leisurely taking his cub for a run.
"Lead the horse." Emperor Ningwu said with a smile.
Zhao Erxi didn't think that the emperor was laughing. He always felt that the emperor was fine today and seemed to be in a good mood when he got up, but why did he act a little weird when he got down from the carriage? Did he have a quarrel with Lord Xu?
Not really.
His Majesty seems to be in a very good mood.
However, when Emperor Ningwu mounted his horse and whipped his whip to chase after Jiuqian Sui, Zhao Erxi could no longer understand the emperor's temper. But he felt that he had to be careful today, for fear that someone without eyes would bump into him.
The short-sighted Prince Zhong and Zhong Zikai were on their way here.
When Prince Zhong heard the guards coming to report the news, he scolded Xu Xiaoman for being presumptuous and actually using the Jinwu Guards to clear the way. He was so bold and reckless, a eunuch, but he really thought of himself as the master.
Today he will teach the father and son what the rules are.
The father and son are climbing a date tree.
The horse was put aside to eat grass, and Xu Xiaoman climbed over it, "Like this, look at Daddy's hand."
Duoduo followed with his robe tucked into his waist. He learned very quickly and skillfully. Xu Xiaoman praised him for being smart and able to learn quickly. Zhong Yun, who was under the tree, felt much better when he saw the two monkeys on the tree.
I'm not jealous, I just think of Xiaoman's childhood.
It's much better now.
Xiaoman loves Duoduo so much and spoils him in everything, he understands. Zhong Yun's eyes fell on the big monkey, full of tenderness.
Two jujube trees and two monkeys, the father and son laughed as soon as they looked at each other.
I don't know why I'm so happy, I'm just happy for no reason.
Climbing the tree was easy. When they were coming down, Xu Xiaoman, who was experienced, said, "Dad will carry you down, otherwise you will slip down easily. Be careful with your palms and thighs, or you may hurt your balls."
Xuanyuefu: ...I originally wanted to say that I was OK.
Now, myself, no, OK.
"Dad, hold me then."
"Okay, let go, Dad is down there."
Xuan Duofu let go and landed firmly in his father's arms. Both father and son were happy again.
Wang Yuanyuan picked a bag of dates and washed them, and later brought them over to eat. Xuanyunfu also wanted to go to the pond to play, "Dad, I will go with Wang Banban to take a look."
"Okay, be careful and don't fall in. The pool is very deep."
"I understand, Dad."
As soon as the person left, Zhong Yun's eyes fell to Xiaoman's crotch. Xu Xiaoman was embarrassed, "It's broad daylight. I didn't say anything to you in the car just now. Now that Duoduo is not here, it's not like before when I was in Wuzhou and I could do whatever I wanted."
"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yun reached out and took the corner of Xiaoman's robe tucked around her waist, and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles.
Xu Xiaoman: ...I blushed because of the trouble.
Is it because he is greedy and has misunderstood his wife?
"Lord Xu just slipped down from the tree. Did you hurt your balls?" Zhong Yun said the vulgar words with his serious face, which looked like a banished immortal.
Xu Xiaoman: ...Very good, he didn’t misunderstand.
"Humph, my eggs are fine."
Zhong Yun also laughed.
People came one after another, some were ordinary people, some were slightly wealthy families with a maid, some were young couples with children, and their families could be identified by the clothes they wore.
Most of the people who come here to play are from such families, but today is different. Today there is a wealthy family - there are many servants serving, and the servants' clothes seem to be better than theirs, so everyone stays away to be careful not to bump into the distinguished person.
Xuanyuefu was eating dates, which were small but very sweet.
"Dad, this is so sweet." Xuanyufu handed one to his father.
Xu Xiaoman took it and took a bite, "Any more?"
"Yes." He gave everything in his palm to his father.
Xu Xiaoman picked a big one and handed it to Zhong Yun. Zhong Yun took a bite of the date and said it was sweet.
Okay, okay, the two dads are showing off again. Xuanyu Fu: "Dad, there are too many people, let's fly a kite."
"You go get it, I'll go see what their kites look like." said Xu Xiaoman.
Xuanfu ran very fast and didn't let others take it. He wanted to take it himself.
Children's competitive spirit.jpg
Xu Xiaoman has gone to "spy on the enemy's situation". There are all kinds of kites here, but most of them are in the shape of butterflies, swallows, or triangles with patterns or wishes written on them.
"I hope you will get your name on the list of successful candidates."
He read it out loud.
The scholar, whose clothes were a little old and whitened from washing, felt a little embarrassed and said sorry for making fun of him. Xu Xiaoman then said, "I haven't read many books, but you have great ambitions. I wish you success in the imperial examinations and become a good official for the people."
"Thanks."
"Dad, dad, I'm here." Xuanyu Fu took the kite and accurately found the location of his two fathers.
Xu Xiaoman stepped forward, shared the information he had just found out, and said, "Our kites are not the same style."
“Yeah!”
Xu Xiaoman bumped Zhong Yun with his arm, looking very impressive. Zhong Yun: How difficult is that? It's just a small kite. Then he took one from Xuanyuefu.
Many people watched with eager eyes as the majestic tiger-shaped kite was taken away.
I was dumbfounded.
Ababa Ababa Ababa.
Zhong Yun nodded his chin and said, "Yours is the koi."
"A red chubby fish." Manyu Fu still envied the tiger, because he was nothing like the chubby fish. But the emperor's painting was really good, very lifelike, with the koi's red and golden scales, shining in the sun.
Soon, Manyu Fu discovered his own beauty.
"Hey, mine is also very pretty and glows!"
Xu Xiaoman swallowed the words "Give the tiger to Duoduo". His cub is so cute.
Then the two fathers helped the boy to hold the kite and let him fly it first. Xuanfu was very touched. It was a misunderstanding. He was still the two fathers' biological child. He ran very fast and succeeded in flying the kite in two attempts. Through the morning sunshine, his kite was flying in the sky and he heard a lot of praise.
The koi bighead carp is the most beautiful.
Fly higher.
Duofu was running to release the string, and Wang Yuanyuan and the people from the East Factory followed him, not daring to miss a single drop of his kite. On the other side, Zhong Yun helped Xiaoman hold the kite and let Xiaoman play with it, saying, "Don't worry about Duofu, he's being watched."
"Just let it go slowly."
Xu Xiaoman: "What do you mean by slowly putting it down? I can do it right at once."
Zhong Yun smiled and said, "Yes, my Xiaoman is the best."
The two of them were flirting and talking to each other.
Many blessings are still there, the little kids are happy and carefree.
The prince of Prince Shen's palace, who traveled in a grand and magnificent procession, finally arrived. The people around him made way for him when they saw him. Zhong Zikai got off the carriage and looked for Xuan Fu's figure first.
Prince Zhong dismounted.
Xuanyuefu was flying a kite with a big smile on his face. His bighead carp was flying so high. Then he saw Zhong Zikai walking towards him from a distance. He was in a trance for a moment. Could he meet Zhong Zikai just by flying a kite?
Something is not right with fate.
"Zhong Zikai, are you trying to stop me?" Xuanyu Fu asked firmly.
Zhong Zikai raised his head, "That's right. You said before that your father brought you here to fly a kite. Where is your father? My father is here today too."
My dad is dating another dad, please don't disturb me, thank you. Xuanyuefu looked at Zhong Zikai who was looking for trouble, "Do you want to go fly a kite with your dad? This place is so big, let's just pretend we don't know each other."
"Hmph, you're scared now, but it's too late." Zhong Zikai said when he saw Xuan Duofu retreating. He wanted Xuan Duofu to kneel down and kowtow to him today.
Manyu Fu: “…I just don’t want to pretend.”
Sometimes he likes to show off, but today is a good day to have fun after ten days of classes.
Prince Zhong had already arrived, and the eunuch in the palace even shouted, "Prince has arrived."
It's very grand.
Xuanyifu was young and short, holding the kite string in one hand and looking at the other person.
The eunuch in the palace scolded: "Why don't you kneel down and greet the prince?"
"..." Sigh. Xuanyunfu turned his head and cried out in grievance, "Help!"
The author has something to say:
Many blessing shake people.jpg
