The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
At night, the stars are bright.
Yang Xuan sat under the eaves, staring blankly at the night sky.
The little girl Xu Miaojin curled up in his arms.
After Yang Xuan's comfort, she stopped crying now.
But the mood is still low.
"Little junior sister, look at that star." Yang Xuan pointed at the brightest star in the night sky and said.
Hearing this, the little girl looked up, and it took her a while to find the star Yang Xuan was talking about.
"Senior brother, I saw it." The little girl said.
"That star is the teacher." Yang Xuan said.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then heard Yang Xuan continue: "Teacher, he has turned into a star in the sky, guarding us."
"Brother, is this true?"
"Daddy really turned into a star in the sky?" the little girl asked.
"Well, when people die, they will become stars in the sky."
Yang Xuan answered affirmatively.
He remembered that someone had told him this before.
In fact, regardless of whether this statement is true or false, in the final analysis, it is just a kind of spiritual sustenance for people.
There is no need to delve into it.
Obviously, the little girl believed what Yang Xuan said.
She said to herself in her heart: "Xu Miaojin, you can't cry anymore. Daddy is watching you in the sky!"
Yang Xuan didn't know what Xu Miaojin was thinking. He continued: "From now on, the teacher will protect you in heaven. On weekdays, you still have your mother, Yungong, Zengshou and Yingxu." Brother, they will protect you."
"Senior brother, what about you?" The little girl looked at Yang Xuan with bright eyes.
"Of course I will protect you!" Yang Xuan smiled gently.
The little girl was happy and her laughter was clear and sweet.
Yang Xuan didn't know that just because of today's actions and words, a seed was planted in the little girl's heart.
…
A few days later, the news of Xu Da's death was rushed to Peiping.
After Xu Miaoyun heard this, she became furious and fainted.
After waking up, she told Zhu Di that she was going back to the capital to see her father off for the last time.
Zhu Di did not refuse and said that he would send someone to take her back to Beijing tomorrow.
As a vassal king, he could not leave the fiefdom at will without Lao Zhu's will, but there was no problem for Xu Miaoyun to return to Beijing for the funeral.
Also, Peiping is an important town, and it is impossible for him to leave without a general guarding it.
Early the next morning, Zhu Di sent Zhu Liang to lead a group of guards to escort Xu Miaoyun and his two sons back to Beijing.
Hurrying and hurrying, there was still no time to catch up with Xu Da's burial day.
Xu Miaoyun was very sad. After all, she didn't have time to send her father off for the last time.
This incident eventually became the biggest regret in her life.
Every time I think about it, I feel sad.
…
Before Xu Da was buried, Lao Zhu issued an edict to posthumously title him King of Zhongshan, with his posthumous title of Wuning.
He was buried in the shadow of Zhongshan (Purple Mountain) and personally wrote a Shinto inscription for Xu Da.
A generation of famous generals has come to an end.
…
After Xu Miaoyun returned to Beijing, he did not live in Prince Yan's Mansion where Zhu Di was in the capital, but returned to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Lao Zhu didn't say anything about this. His daughter-in-law didn't have time to send her father off for the last time. Now she returns to her previous home and misses her. It's just human nature.
However, the two brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were taken into the palace by Lao Zhu.
This was the first time he saw these two grandsons.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was too naughty and he didn't like it very much. He only stayed in the palace for one day and was sent back to Xu Miaoyun.
On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi, except for being a little fat, is good in other aspects.
For several days, Lao Zhu kept him with him.
Sometimes Lao Zhu even wonders how a reckless man like his fourth son could give birth to such a son.
In fact, in some aspects, Zhu Gaochi and his uncle Zhu Biao are somewhat similar.
Both of them are gentle and honest, and treat others and things with great humility.
Zhu Biao was educated by Queen Ma. At that time, Lao Zhu was busy conquering the world, so the education of his children could only be left to Queen Ma.
Zhu Gaochi was educated by Xu Miaoyun. Zhu Di's personality was very similar to that of Lao Zhu. In addition, after Zhu Gaochi was born, Zhu Di began to favor his second son and paid much less attention to his eldest son.
Therefore, these uncles and nephews had somewhat similar experiences when they were young, and both received little attention from their father.
In addition, Xu Miaoyun studied with Queen Ma for three years.
From this aspect, it is not unreasonable for Zhu Gaochi to resemble Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao saw this fat nephew next to Lao Zhu and fell in love with him immediately.
It's a pity that falling flowers have feelings and flowing water has no intention.
The little chubby boy is thinking about the uncle who gave him candy.
I thought I would be able to see him when he came to the capital, but who would have thought that before he could see him, he was called into the palace by his own imperial grandfather.
But fortunately, there is no need for his mother to control him in the palace, so he doesn't have to sneak around if he wants to eat sweets.
This should be considered one of the few benefits.
At the same time, the Duke of Wei.
Yang Xuan and Xu Miaoyun were talking, and they had not seen each other for several years.
In the yard outside, Xu Zengshou was playing with his nephew Zhu Gaoxu.
He was very naughty when he was a child, but now he looks serious, but that's just an illusion.
Not long after being with Zhu Gaoxu, his true colors were exposed.
As the saying goes, if you don't belong to the same family, you don't belong to the same family.
"Senior sister, when will Gao Chi leave the palace?"
"It's been several days and I haven't seen him yet!"
Yang Xuan asked.
"I don't know about this either. Father likes him and wants to keep him by his side." Xu Miaoyun said with a bitter smile.
Lao Zhu's love for her eldest son was something she didn't expect.
Yesterday she went to the palace to see Lao Zhu and proposed to take her son back, but Lao Zhu did not agree.
It is said that this is the first time that their grandfather and grandson have met, and they want to spend more time together and cultivate their relationship.
What could Xu Miaoyun do? He could only leave his son with Lao Zhu.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan was helpless.
Then he talked about other things.
In the evening, he left the Duke of Wei's mansion.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
The sadness that Xu Da's death brought to everyone has almost dissipated.
Only sometimes, Yang Xuan would stare at the stars in a daze.
Just sit there all night.
An Qing was worried about Yang Xuan, so he planned to take him out of the city to relax.
There is a red maple forest outside the city with beautiful scenery.
Now is the time when the flowering period is mature, you can see it when you go there.
After Queen Ma left, Yang Xuan stayed with him and enlightened him.
Now, it's her turn.
On this day, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful, with no clouds in the sky.
Yang Xuan, An Qing, and Xiuhe came to the red maple forest outside the city with several attendants.
At a glance, the mountains and plains are covered with red maple leaves, which deeply shocks people's soul.
"Xiao Xuanzi, let me tell you secretly, I came here when I was a child." An Qing beside him said with a proud smile.
"Huh?" Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Seeing this, An Qing explained with a smile.
"At that time, I was just over three years old."
"Second brother, third brother and fourth brother secretly took me out of the palace."
"I discovered this red maple forest by accident."
"I fell in love with this place at just one glance."
