Chapter 44
Wang Yuansun stood outside, and after a few breaths, his clenched fists slowly loosened.
"Young Master Wang?" The servants in Liu's mansion looked at the young master in surprise. Why didn't he leave?
Wang Yuansun smiled again and said, "It's okay, let's go."
In the main hall.
Xu Xuanfu sat on the chair panting. Liu Qiang brought him some tea and asked, "Why are you so out of breath after just a few runs?"
"What do you mean a few times? You've been running around with me for eight hundred times!" Xuanyu Fu took the tea and drank it. He felt much better and became arrogant again, "Be good~"
Liu Qiang sat down beside him and muttered, "Don't think I didn't count. I just ran around and ran, maybe more than ten times at most."
"You still know." Xuanyu Fu drank the tea and punched Liu Qiang, and he felt much better.
Wang Yuansun stepped in from the door and bowed, "Wang Yuansun greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"You're here? Get up." Xuanyufu waved his hand.
Liu Qiang stood up happily and pulled Wang Yuansun's arm. "I was just bored and was running around the room with Xuanyuefu. It's great that you came. Where's your knife?"
"The Jinwu Guards are guarding the gate of your courtyard. Take them." Wang Yuansun said, looking at His Highness, who was still sitting on the chair and drinking tea slowly, and added: "The Jinwu Guards said that if we need them, send someone to tell them to send them to the martial arts training ground."
Liu Qiang nodded upon hearing this, "By the way, Xuan Duofu is different now. He is His Royal Highness."
Many blessings: ...
It's like he just found out that he is the crown prince. Liu Qiang is such a pig.
But to be honest, he sometimes feels a little uncomfortable. Hehe, he still needs to adapt to his status as a high prince.
"Let's go to the martial arts training ground and have some fun." Liu Qiang said, and asked the servant outside to pass a message to the Jinwu Guards at the gate of the courtyard to deliver Wang Yuansun's knife.
Wang Yuansun did not move, and looked at the crown prince, "Liu Qiang, I still need to ask His Highness for instructions."
Liu Qiang hesitated, and then he stepped forward and asked the prince, "Your Highness, let's go out and play. It's boring to stay in the house. Don't you feel bored?"
"You're pretty good. I'll give you some face." Xuanyuefu stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll call Xiao Lingguan to go with us."
There are only him and Liu Qiang in the Liu Mansion now, and now there is Wang Yuansun. It is actually very boring without other friends. Liu Qiang likes to play differently from him. Usually, it is okay to watch a martial arts competition for a while, but not for the whole day. There is nothing he can do today.
Let’s have fun at Li Ang’s house tomorrow!
When the few of them arrived at the martial arts training ground, the Jinwu Guards not only presented Wang Yuansun with a broadsword, but also stood guard behind the prince closely. Xuanyu Fu was sitting on a chair, with Wang Banban beside him, and Xiao Lingguan on the other side. Xiao Lingguan was holding a box of snacks and some treats in his hands.
Seeing this, Manyu Fu said, "Put it on the table."
Xiao Lingguan put the things on the table beside him.
In the martial arts training ground, Wang Yuansun held a knife and Liu Qiang held a spear, but they did not move. Instead, they said, "Wait a minute, I will ask Lord Xu."
"Your Highness, is Officer Ling coming?"
Xuanyu Fu heard this and said, "Then don't fight for the time being, teach him the basics."
Xiao Lingguan was nervous and a little scared. He was afraid that he would not do well. This was a chance given to him by His Highness. Xuanyu Fu saw this and said, "If you are afraid, just do it. If you can't do well, try something else. There will always be something you can do well."
You haven't tried it yet, so don't be timid.
"I know." The young official stepped forward. He was wearing the clothes Lin Zheng had given him, a gray jacket that ordinary people wore, with narrow sleeves and trouser legs, a round collar with a corner turned up, and a robe that reached above the knees.
It is very convenient for working and fighting.
It's just that little Lingguan is good-looking, with black hair and fair skin. Her whole face has the firmness of the Yi people and the softness and beauty of a southern girl. In addition, she was raised in an opera troupe, so even if she walks a few steps normally, she is very beautiful just from the back.
If it weren't for Xuan Fu's rescue, Xiao Lingguan would have lived a miserable life for the rest of his life, being at the hands of others.
Xuan Fu looked at Xiao Lingguan's back and was in a daze, thinking: What name should I give him?
I can't help but think of the homophonic pun of my father's name, Dafa.
Xuxuxuxu...
"I promise you a lifetime, the wind and snow are because of you, cough cough, you sang the wrong tune." Xuanyu Fu took back his joke.
At the martial arts training ground, no matter what Liu Qiang said to Xiao Lingguan, Xuanyun Fu couldn't sit still and ran over to play as well. The main reason was that everyone was at the martial arts training ground and it was boring for him to sit on a hard bench, and it was easy for him to be distracted and think about random things.
When they arrived, Wang Yuansun greeted him again, but Xuanyufu waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite."
"How is it?" he asked Liu Qiang.
Liu Qiang said, "I'm just teaching you. How about a set of basic boxing techniques to warm up first?"
"Okay, I'll learn too." Xuan Xufu had been eating all morning and now he had no appetite. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat much for lunch, so he moved around. He turned to Ling Guan and said, "Let's learn together. I've never practiced boxing before."
Liu Qiang testified: "Indeed, the two punches I just received were not very powerful."
"I learned the first one to bang you first and then hit you!"
Liu Qiang: ...
The two of them continued to bicker with each other, while Xiao Lingguan stood aside, looking at the Crown Prince cautiously, his eyes bright and firm. Wang Yuansun noticed this, he had not seen this kind of look very often, this actor was not in love with many people, and he did not have any dirty thoughts, so he could not think of what this look was.
Until one day, when Wang Yuansun grew up and had his own subordinates and close friends who were more like brothers than blood relatives, and some people looked at him this way, he suddenly remembered what the look that the actor Ling Guan gave Duo Xinfu meant.
I am willing to serve you my whole life, even if it means sacrificing my life.
He used to be resentful of everyone, including Xuanyifu, but one day, he also protected Xuanyifu's Dasheng.
Sacrifice my life thousands of times.
Liu Qiang stood in front and said, "Then watch carefully. I will show you how to do it first. This is the morning boxing method practiced in the Sumaguan military camp."
"Okay." Xuanyu Fu agreed readily. It sounded like morning exercises and was not difficult. He signaled to Xiao Lingguan with his eyes, meaning not to be afraid and it would not be embarrassing.
As for morning exercises, he did it for nine years during the nine years of compulsory education!
Then Liu Qiang beat him up with a thunderbolt. Manyu Fu: ... the expression of "not afraid of easy capture" on his face was still hanging on his face, frozen.
"Would you like to go slower, break it down, and do it again?" Xuanyu Fu asked.
Liu Qiang: "I can——"
"I am Your Highness, you can't." The domineering prince interrupted the spell directly.
Liu Qiang laughed and said, "I said I can, there is no follow-up, hahahaha, I was just teasing you."
Xuan Fu couldn't help but punch Liu Qiang with his nine-year compulsory education morning exercises, and the two began to run around in circles like primary school students. Wang Yuansun, who was standing next to them, had never met such a "child of the same age" before. He stood there and clenched his fists in his sleeves, then released them, telling himself to be patient.
Warm-up complete.
"Come quickly." Xuan Fu urged.
Liu Qiang: "Come here, come here, you were the one who chased me first."
"If you don't run, can I chase you?"
"You're chasing me, so why don't I run away?"
The two of them were talking at cross purposes, but fortunately, despite saying so, they still lined up in action, with Liu Qiang in the front, Xuanyifu in the back, and Xiao Lingguan standing behind His Highness. Xuanyifu:?
"Officer Ling, stand next to me."
"Good, Your Highness."
Liu Qiang began to analyze the boxing techniques. However, he had always been impetuous in doing things since he was a child, and he was also talented in martial arts. For example, when he was three or four years old, his father brought him into the military camp to learn this set of boxing. He watched everyone fight, so he just stayed in a corner and followed them to learn, and he was actually able to follow.
Later, when I grew a few years older, my boxing skills were perfect.
Liu Qiang was playing slowly at first, but his speed increased as he played. Xuanyuefu: ...I can't keep up. He turned around and saw that Xiao Lingguan had actually caught up, and was playing pretty well.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Chubby face sad.
"Don't get fat - I'll do it again, and this time go slower." Liu Qiang changed his words in time and started over again.
I studied it ten times or so and finally I learned it.
"Don't remind me, I will."
"I'll show you one!"
"Hehe ha hou!" he also shouted out his momentum.
Liu Qiang tried to hold back his laughter. Wang Yuanyuan clapped her hands and shouted, "Your Highness, you played well. Very well." The young official Ling had been clapping quietly, but when he saw this, he also started clapping boldly.
After Xuan Fu finished his set, he almost lost his balance. He turned around and raised his hand to signal everyone, "Keep a low profile, thank you everyone. From now on, please call me the boxing champion!"
"...Hahahahahaha." Liu Qiang finally couldn't help laughing wildly. Which boxing champion would be like this?
Xuanyifu used his newly learned Sumaguan boxing to teach Liu Qiang a lesson, making Liu Qiang laugh loudly, and then stopped. But to be honest, after playing around all morning and fighting, Xuanyifu was finally hungry.
Several people went back to wash and change clothes.
Wang Banban also brought him a new set of clothes.
Manyu Fu looked at Wang Banban in surprise. Wang Yuanyuan said confidently, "Your Highness is now the crown prince. When you go out, it is not enough to bring one set of clothes. If there is enough space, I would also like to bring the wedding clothes."
"That's not necessary." After saying this, Xuan Fu saw that Banban was disappointed, and hurriedly comforted him, "Now in the various prefectures of Shengdu, everyone knows my identity. Whenever we go out, it's called a secret visit. Banban will bring me the auspicious clothes. If there is a local official who is blind and oppresses the innocent people, we will draw our swords to help him. I will put on the auspicious clothes, and Banban will shout beside him: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, you still dare to be so presumptuous! Capture them all!"
Wang Yuanyuan was so excited that she kept shouting "Great!"
Both of them laughed.
Xuanyuefu thought that if he wrote a storybook, it would be a huge hit!
Unfortunately, the writing is very poor. Many people have read the current storybooks. At that time, there were no mobile phones, and there were only a few entertainment activities. Reading storybooks was certainly one of the pastimes. The storybooks here are also written in classical Chinese. To be more straightforward, they still pay attention to the rhetoric of the article.
It would be great if it was a book in plain language.
At noon, when they sat down to eat, the main seat was empty. The old general solemnly invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the main seat. Xuan Duofu thought about it and did not refuse. Sometimes, when one's status changes, one can continue to have fun and laugh in private, but being a crown prince is completely different.
If he sat nearby and word got out, the Liu family would easily gain a bad reputation.
After lunch, Duo Xiufu returned to Liu Qiang's yard and they chatted. Liu Qiang said, "Ling Guan is good at boxing, but I can't tell what else he can do. Let's try them all first."
Wang Yuansun said at this time: "Ling Guan is very agile. The boxing of Sumaguan emphasizes strength. Ling Guan is small. I actually know a set of boxing that is soft but strong. If Ling Guan is willing to learn, I will teach him."
Xuanyunfu tilted his head to look at Wang Yuansun, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Your Highness, I saw that you and Liu Qiang were having fun so I didn't disturb you." Wang Yuansun explained.
Manyu Fu: ... "You are still too polite and unfamiliar."
Wang Yuansun didn't know how to respond, so Liu Qiang said with great interest, "You also know boxing? Come on, let me see what kind of boxing is soft yet strong."
Xuan Xuanfu went over and sat on a chair to eat some snacks, and he didn't go on stage this time.
Wang Yuansun's boxing style is a bit like Tai Chi, but it is very fierce when it needs to be fierce. When the young Lingguan started, he really fought beautifully. Liu Qiang said beside him: "It looks good, but can it be used to fight? It's just a show."
Liu Qiang treated people as friends and spoke directly to them. Wang Yuansun was more polite and said, "Maybe I am not a good martial artist, so my fighting skills are a bit fancy. My master is very good at fighting."
Xuanyun Fu patted the snacks in his hands and said, "This kind of boxing will definitely be powerful if you practice it well. Let's all learn it." He turned around and said, "Officer Ling, you should eat more and study hard in Liu's house. If you have any problems, go to Liu Qiang. If Wang Yuansun wants to teach you boxing, you should also learn it."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Xuanyu Fu: "I've been thinking for a whole day, but I still can't think of a name for you." His mind was full of bad names with homophonic puns. Now he looked directly at Ling Guan and said seriously: "Ling Guan is also a good name. Xu Ling Guan, don't lose your lofty ambitions and be a good official. If you can't be an official, you can be a conscientious citizen."
Xu Lingguan knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, I understand." He kowtowed seriously.
"Stand up, and don't kneel down and kowtow so easily in the future," Xuanyufu said.
Xu Lingguan said yes, he knew that his master didn't like these external rules, so he had to obey his master in everything.
"It's getting late so I'm going back to the palace. See you at the princess's residence tomorrow."
"I know." Liu Qiang: "Let's go and personally send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off."
Manyu Fu was serious, but when he heard Liu Qiang say that, he started to act arrogantly again. He put his hands behind his back and nodded at Liu Qiang with his chin, "You are quite sensible boy."
Wang Yuanyuan stretched out her voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is returning to the palace—"
It was a very impressive display.
It was still early when he returned to the palace, as the ministers in the court were given three days off and today was the last day, so there was not much official business. His father, the emperor, was also in the Zichen Palace. Xuan Xuanfu went to the main palace to pay his respects to his father. The father and son looked at each other, both lacking interest.
"When will Dad come back?"
Zhong Yun also wanted to ask, holding the chess piece in his hand, "Before the palace gate is locked."
Xuan Duofu fell down on the couch after a while and spread himself out like a big pancake. Zhong Yun didn't say anything about the improper sitting posture, but it was boring to play chess alone, so he pulled Xuan Duofu to play chess with him.
"I don't know how to play Go, but could I teach you how to play Gobang?" Xuanyifu became excited. He should be able to play Gobang.
Zhong Yun glanced at Xuan Fu. Although he didn't know how to play Go, this kid wanted to beat him?
"Come."
The black and white pieces are back in their positions and the chessboard is ready. The father and son, one sits casually and unrestrainedly, while the other leans casually with his hands on his waist, with snacks at hand. While playing, he crosses his legs and soon kicks over the chessboard.
Zhong Yun pressed the chessboard.
"Xu Duofu, did you do this on purpose?"
“What a huge injustice!!!”
Xu Xiaoman heard the cub crying out for justice before he even came in. The head of the family felt happy after coming back from duty, and his steps became lighter as he entered the palace. "What's wrong, Duoduo?"
"Father, father, my father has wronged me." Manyu Fu knelt on the couch and cried coquettishly, "Please, Master Qingtang, do justice for me!"
Zhong Yun turned his head to look at Xiao Man, "He can't beat me, so he plans to kick over the chessboard."
"It's not that I didn't, I just didn't know how to lower my legs."
Xu Xiaoman touched the boy's head, and saw out of the corner of his eye that his wife was waiting for him to favor someone, and immediately said: ... Don't worry, this father-in-law has an idea, "Hehe, how about Duoduo go out and play today?" and changed the subject.
"It was fun. I went to Liu Qiang's house and learned boxing for the whole morning."
Xu Xiaoman said directly: "Duoduo learned it this morning? Zhongyun, look at us, our Duoduo is really amazing."
Xuan Fu immediately forgot the previous "injustice" and ran barefoot on the ground without wearing shoes. There was a blanket on the ground, so his feet were not cold. "Dad, I will beat you again."
"Okay, okay, come here." Xu Xiaoman sat in the seat of the waiter, reached out and touched the peanut shell, and looked at Zhong Yun. Zhong Yun still had a black peanut in his hand, and said, "He ate all afternoon, and he didn't stop. If you don't know, you would think that the Liu family didn't provide food."
"I'll take care of it. The food is delicious." Xuan Fu said first, and then said, "Hey, I'm going to fight. Can you watch me?"
Xu Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Look, Dad, look carefully."
Zhong Yun threw the black chess piece onto the chessboard.
Xuan Fu stood upright, and then started to roar "ha hei, hei hei ha" back and forth. Never mention how good his boxing skills were, but his momentum was very strong. Wang Yuanyuan, who was standing aside and watching, was so happy that she turned her head and winked at Zhao Erxi: Isn't it great? Your Highness is really awesome.
Zhao Erxi: Awesome, really good. The momentum is so majestic.
Manyu Fu roared and put away his fist. Xu Xiaoman clapped his hands first and said, "Well done."
"Really? Dad."
"Really? This style of boxing requires momentum, and the punches must be powerful. You may not have enough strength now, but you make up for it in momentum." Xu Xiaoman commented seriously.
Zhong Yun smiled and listened to Xiaoman coaxing the little fool.
"You fight really well. I'm hungry. Let's serve the meal." He also gave a reluctant compliment.
Many people shouted “Yeah, it’s good” and put on their shoes. “I’m hungry too. I get hungry when I do boxing.”
"That means Duoduo has given enough force." Xu Xiaoman said.
There were holes everywhere for the white pieces on the chessboard, and he was too lazy to block them. After all the years of playing chess, this was the second time that Emperor Ningwu met someone who made him not care about winning or losing. It didn't matter whether the game was finished or not, as long as he had fun.
The dining table was filled with food. The family of three ate and chatted. Emperor Ningwu didn't say much, just listened, sometimes with a smile on his face, and sometimes he picked up a piece of food for the prince with his chopsticks. Unfortunately, the prince liked everything he ate, and he ate with relish, and even thanked his father.
Emperor Ningwu: "Is there anything he doesn't like to eat?"
The prince immediately looked at his father and said, "I can't tell you, I can't tell you, otherwise I will definitely have this dish in the future."
Jiu Qiansui winked at his kid and let the secret slip.
Emperor Ningwu nodded, "It seems that our prince does have some food he doesn't like, but it's not served."
Xuanyu Fu: ...Dear father, just use the process of elimination slowly.
snort.
That night, Emperor Ningwu did not use the method of elimination, but used the beauty trap. He also took advantage of the fact that Jiu Qiansui was talking in his sleep, and easily found out that Fu did not like to eat carrots.
But it can also be eaten, depending on how it is cooked. Jiu Qiansui forgot to say the second half of the sentence.
The next morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a carrot meeting for breakfast.
Xuanyu Fu looked up at Banban and said, "Banban, I'm not a rabbit, why do I have so many carrots?"
"I will go and ask the imperial kitchen what's going on. It's only been a few days and they've gone against our prince!" Wang Yuanyuan was so angry that she wanted to roll up her sleeves and fight those old eunuchs in the imperial kitchen.
Xuan Fu said hurriedly: "Forget it, forget it, it's okay, I'll try it." He frowned and then took a bite of the bun, which was stuffed with carrot and mutton. It was made from imperial cuisine and was very fragrant and delicious. He didn't taste the yuyue flavor of carrots.
"Not bad company."
I also tried the shredded carrot wrap, which was served cold. Bean sprouts were mixed in the shredded carrots. It tasted sour, spicy and fragrant. It was so delicious that I took a big bite.
Wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finishes breakfast and leaves the palace.
Emperor Ningwu was sitting in Xuanzheng Hall meeting with ministers. While waiting for someone, he seemed to have just remembered and asked Zhao Erxi, "How was the kid's breakfast?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has eaten it all and enjoyed it very much." Zhao Erxi said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the minister who came in was moved: His Majesty even asked whether the Crown Prince enjoyed his breakfast, which shows that he really values and loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Emperor Ningwu: ...
Did Xiaoman say something wrong in her dream? No.
It must be Xuanduofu, this kid eats everything.
Outside the palace.
Yan Huaijin, Zhou Quan, and Liu Qiang arrived at the princess's residence early. Wang Yuansun knew the situation and didn't come today. Liu Qiang called him and said, "Let's go together tomorrow." Wang Yuansun said, "The prince only called you, you should have fun, and you are tired from practicing today." After Xuanfu left yesterday, Wang Yuansun taught Xu Lingguan for an afternoon.
When Liu Qiang heard this, he thought of many things he had said about Wang Yuansun being polite and awkward. He weighed it in his mind and said casually, "Then you should have a good rest at home tomorrow."
Princess Changping's Mansion occupies a good location and a large area.
It was bestowed by Taizu when he was alive. Because he owed his eldest son, Taizu valued the several descendants of his eldest son very much and gave them rewards again and again. Princess Changping had a fiefdom, and Taizu also gave her a house near Taiji Palace in Shengdu.
It means that when you get tired of playing in your fiefdom, you will have a place to live when you come back.
Such a large mansion was once glorious and honorable, but if the family did not have an heir who could take over, it would also be a huge burden.
Princess Changping had been living a hard life before, trying various ways to cut expenses both internally and externally, so the interior of the princess's mansion was actually very simple - it was not so elaborately carved and luxurious, with ordinary flowers and plants, and no lotus flowers in the rockery pond, because the lotus flowers needed to be salvaged, cleaned, and maintained.
The paint on the corridors and pavilions is a little mottled.
The entire mansion seemed particularly empty and spacious.
The princess, along with her two grandchildren and all the servants in the mansion, were waiting outside the door. When Xuan Duofu got off the carriage, everyone knelt down to pay their respects to him. Xuan Duofu ignored everything else and went forward to help Li Ang's grandmother up, saying, "I am sorry to bother you today."
"Your Highness's presence brings honor to our mansion."
Everyone greeted him and Xuanyuefu went to the main courtyard first, where the princess lived. After he sat down, everyone else had to greet him one by one. Xuanyuefu: ...Okay, after greeting him, he can reunite with his friends!
The eldest wife and her husband have five children in total.
Many blessings:! Five.
The second branch is Li Ang's family. Li Ang has two older sisters and one younger brother.
These children were both legitimate and illegitimate. Concubines could not go up to see nobles in such occasions, but children could. The Dasheng Dynasty was not particularly strict about legitimate and illegitimate children. Illegitimate children followed their fathers. If the father was respectable, the children would also be respectable.
Especially in such a large family, harmony and rules are the most important. Children are treated equally in terms of food, drink and expenses. However, when dividing the property, the eldest son may inherit the bulk of the mansion.
The Da Sheng is a ritual between the emperor and his subjects. The subjects are not household slaves, because in private occasions, when the ministers see the emperor, they bow and do not need to kneel down, unless the emperor is angry, then he will kneel.
So after Xuan Fu said there was no need to be so polite, he sat in the middle seat. The men in the mansion bowed to him as a greeting, while the women did a half-bow.
In short: After seeing everyone, I can finally proceed to the next step.
"I'm here to play with Li Ang. You don't have to accompany me. I can do whatever I want."
The couple wanted to talk more with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by her mother's eyes. Princess Changping smiled and said, "Ang'er, the yard is a little small, so we specially opened the rain yard today. Ang'er, you can take His Royal Highness to have fun."
"Yes, Grandma."
Xuanyu Fu: OK, OK, we finally get to play.
As soon as they left the main courtyard, Li Ang led the way. They both breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ang still said cautiously and politely, "Your Highness, they are all waiting for you in Luoyu Courtyard."
"Okay, you can call me you for the whole day today." Xuanyu Fu gritted his teeth.
Li Ang smiled and said, "I won't shout anymore after a while."
"Hmph." Xu Xuanfu hummed, his face full of joy, "What shall we play today?"
Li Ang: "Knowing that His Highness was coming, the palace invited a troupe of actors—"
Xuan Fu had no shadow on the opera troupe, but he thought that watching the opera was meaningless. He did not understand much, so he asked Li Ang, "This small opera troupe can fight tigers."
"!!! Good, good, good." Xu Xuanfu clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling, "What did you say?"
Li Ang: "Well, His Highness has been talking about fighting tigers." He added: "Actually, I want to watch it too. It's a rare and lively scene."
When Xuanyunfu passed by the princess's mansion, he saw that it was very empty. He guessed the situation of Li Ang's family and thought that they would rarely invite a troupe to perform. So he said, "Let's play first. When we have lunch, we can ask the troupe to perform. You all can come and watch. We have spent money. Don't just let us have fun."
"Okay." Li Ang laughed. His Highness was still the same as before.
The rain yard was very big, it had been cleaned up in advance, the scenery was good, and there were many decorations. When Xuanyifu arrived, the other friends wanted to greet him, but Xuanyifu said no, and everyone stood there feeling a little restrained, which was very strange.
Until someone called out "Your Highness".
Xuanyuefu's eyes widened. "Yan Jinjin, what did you call me?"
In the orthodox textbooks that Yan Huaijin had learned since primary school, there were three elements: Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers. Xuanyifu was now Emperor, so naturally he could not call him by his name. However, when he looked at Xuanyifu, Xuanyifu reached out his hand with great excitement to pinch a handful of Yan Huaijin's hair.
"Good luck." Yan Huaijin changed his words.
"That's right." Xu Duofu pinched her again, "You are so young, and you acted like a little old-fashioned when we first met. Don't become like Master Hu when you grow up!"
Yan Huaijin used to like to call Xuan Duofu by his first name. For some reason, he felt that calling him by his first name was solemn and serious. But now Xuan Duofu was changed to Zhong Duofu, and it was not appropriate to call him by his first name, so he changed it to Duofu.
Xu Duofu obviously noticed it too, "I always feel weird when you call me Duofu--" He remembered that his father, the emperor, also called him Duofu, and immediately looked at Yan Jinjin, saying that he should not think of being his father at such a young age, "You should call me Duofu in private."
Yan Huaijin thought about it and agreed.
Xuan Fu happily touched the child's face. The child was skinny and didn't feel as good as his touch. "You haven't been eating well recently."
"Eat it, and you will have many blessings."
"You haven't gained any weight at all." Xuanyu Fu still remembers the adult Yan Huaijin in his dream. His back was emaciated. He thought that a gentleman is like a bamboo that will fall down when the wind blows. He thought that being too thin was ugly and made him feel sorry for him.
Liu Qiang said something fair: "Your flesh won't grow in just one or two meals."
"…You are right, but don't say it." Xuanyu Fu retorted.
Several people started laughing. They didn't do anything else in Luoyu Courtyard. They had endless things to talk about just by meeting each other. Zhou Quan said, "My father had a fever after returning home the day before yesterday."
"Ah? Is it cold?" Xuanyuefu thought about it and felt that it couldn't be possible. Lord Zhou had such a weak physique. He also stood in front of the Taiji Hall to get some fresh air, and everyone quickly entered the hall.
Zhou Quan still tried to protect his father's reputation, and said, "Maybe it was too surprising that there was suddenly a crown prince. Did you talk to my father?"
"Yes, my father asked me to serve tea to Lord Zhou. I had never seen your father before, but I thought he looked very familiar. I took a closer look and recognized him immediately..."
Zhou Quan: No wonder my father was scared.
The doctor said that my father had a fever due to shock to his five internal organs.
"It's not serious. I asked about my father's health before I left today. He is almost well now. When he heard that I was at the princess's mansion and that Your Highness was here, he told me to learn from Your Highness."
Xuanyuefu: "..." Is Zhou Quan's father confused? Zhou Quan is a top student, what can he learn from him? Aren't you afraid that your son will become a poor student?
"I think we should ask the imperial physician to go to your house again for a check-up." Xuanyu Fu said implicitly.
Zhou Quan waved his hand and said no.
"We are brothers, why are you being polite? The imperial doctors are very good, especially Imperial Doctor Zhang. I had a fever before, and it was cured after taking some medicine. Today, the ministers are all at work, and it would be bad for your father to go to work while he is sick."
Many people who talked about it in Fu Yihua also felt that this was the case.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
Wang Yuanyuan immediately got the news and knew that Lord Zhou had gone to the yamen today. She specially asked someone to return to the palace to convey the prince's oral order and asked Imperial Physician Zhang to go and see Lord Zhou.
So not long after, Lord Zhou, who was sitting in the Ministry of Works, received a visit from the imperial physician.
It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who invited me.
Mr. Zhou: I am very nervous.
Doctor Zhang: "Lord Zhou seems to be overly worried. I will prescribe some tranquilizing medicine for him to take."
"Thank you for your help, Doctor Zhang." Lord Zhou bowed.
"I dare not. The Crown Prince has spoken. Lord Zhou is really valued by the Crown Prince..." Doctor Zhang said more. Seeing Lord Zhou's brows twitching from time to time, he thought about something and said after careful consideration: "In fact, Your Highness has a pure heart. Lord Zhou just needs to keep a normal mind."
Lord Zhou wiped his sweat and said yes.
…
In Luoyuyuan, Xuanfu and his friends were talking non-stop just while eating snacks and chatting. After Zhou Quan finished speaking, Li Ang said that his cousins were beaten.
"I didn't care, but they were beaten up when they got home?"
Li Ang nodded. "My two uncles even came to my house and asked me if they had offended you. I said you are not a petty person."
"Well said, I am very generous."
Liu Qiang interrupted here: "His stomach could hold a boat."
Many blessings: ...
Everyone laughed again.
"My uncles wanted to bring them to the palace to apologize to you, but they said they didn't want to disturb you during the holiday."
"You two cousins really understand me." Xuanyunfu nodded. If someone brought his son to apologize to him every day, he would not be able to go out to play.
Speaking of beating his son, Zhou Quan told a piece of gossip: Gao Bin had his leg broken by his father.
Xuanyuefu was shocked. "Is this true? Can Mr. Gao do this?"
"Really? The Gao residence is not far from my home. We invited many doctors because the injury was quite serious. It seemed that Mr. Gao had hit the patient too hard and a lot of blood was lost. Mrs. Gao was terrified. I heard that the patient almost died." Zhou Quan said.
Manyu Fu frowned, especially because of what he said -
Yan Huaijin, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "You verbally taught Gao Bin a lesson and asked him to return home to reflect on his mistakes. This is already a punishment for him. His broken leg was caused by his father beating him. It has nothing to do with you."
Xuanyun Fu nodded, still a little frightened, "I said something too harsh..."
"Don't reflect on yourself. You are so blessed." Yan Huaijin leaned his head over.
Xuan Xuanfu was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. He pinched Yan Jinjin's hair and wondered why his little classmate was so nice. "You're right."
They chatted until they were thirsty and hungry, and when they looked at the time, it was time for lunch.
"I'll make the arrangements," Li Ang said. In fact, people around my grandmother had asked twice when His Highness would have dinner, but since Xuanfu was in the middle of a lively conversation, Li Ang did not interrupt.
Xuanyu Fu: "Okay, remember to call the opera troupe."
"Banban, please take the trouble to go and ask my cousin if she wants to come and listen to the opera."
Wang Banban represented him, so he would not go. Otherwise, if he went, even if his aunt did not want to come, she would definitely come if he personally invited her. It would be different if Banban invited her, and her aunt could be more casual.
As expected, Princess Changping said: She is too old to listen to noisy plays, and Your Highness should enjoy the lively and cheerful performances with the children.
Princess Changping was also afraid that His Highness would not have a good time if she was around.
Not only did Princess Changping not come, but the two wives were also restrained by the princess and not allowed to go. The sons and daughters-in-law of the two wives had some complaints. Princess Changping said: "I am one generation older than Your Highness. Your Highness is kind and approachable, calling me your cousin. Do you really think of yourselves as His Highness' brothers and sisters-in-law?"
"When the fun starts, you guys are so careless with your words that you'll ask Ang'er to put out the fire?"
Princess Changping knew what the two families were thinking, so she gave them a stick and a sweet date, "Let the children go, and play around. If they say something wrong, just call His Highness uncle..."
Then all eight children from the two rooms came.
The Luoyuyuan Hall was large enough to be divided into three tables. Xuanyifu sat at the middle table, surrounded by his good friends, and the other two tables were arranged on the left and right.
At first, only six people came. Li Ang had two cousins who were fifteen or sixteen years older and did not come.
When Xuanyuefu saw that all the children were there, he counted them and found something was wrong, so he asked, "Aren't there two older sisters? Don't they like watching plays?"
"My sister is old, and it is not appropriate for an older woman to see a man from another country." Li Ang said. This should be the reason.
Xuanyu Fu: "...We are a family after all. I am only ten years old. If they don't want to watch it, forget it. I'd better ask someone to ask."
"Then I'll go." Li Ang went in person.
After a while, two sisters came and everyone sat down, regardless of gender. They were a little reserved at first, but when the opera troupe came on and the gongs and drums sounded, it suddenly became lively.
Eat vegetables and drink tea.
It was indeed a lively show. The martial artist wielded the sword and spun around in a way that was dizzying. There were also somersaults, more than ten of them, in a row. The originally restrained hall suddenly became lively.
"Good.", "Great turn.", "Excellent."
Wait for the tiger to appear, give a simple narration about the plot, and then just beat the tiger - if you talk about the cause and effect, there will be too many scenes to finish, so just beat the tiger.
As a result, a child was frightened and started crying. The tiger-beating warrior hesitated and stopped.
Many blessings: ...
The maidservant hurriedly coaxed the young master. His brother stood up and apologized to His Highness. He stumbled when he opened his mouth, but then he thought of what his grandmother said and changed his words to, "Uncle, my brother is still young and is bothering you. How about sending him down?"
When Xuanyu Fu heard his uncle, he was very happy and said, "It's normal for a child to be scared. You can comfort him. If he doesn't want to go back and wants to stay here, that's fine."
But the child was still carried out.
Xuanyu Fu turned his head and said, "Li Ang!" His eyes were bright.
He said he had forgotten something, and it turned out that he forgot that Li Ang called him uncle.
Leon: ...
Zhou Quan and Liu Qiang were watching the show from the side, and Yan Huaijin also had a smile on his face.
Li Ang stood up slowly and bowed to greet him, "Nephew Li Ang, greetings to Uncle Crown Prince."
Hehehehehehehe~
"Nephew, no need to be polite. Sit down and eat." The uncle waved his hand and said, "Continue the show."
I don’t remember much about how the food tasted, I just thought it was special, delicious and fun!
The author has something to say:
