East Palace, Hongde Hall.
The aroma of the dishes overflowed, and Liu Qi held the bowl quickly and ate his dinner in silence, but his eyes were always paying attention to the scene in the palace.
I saw Liu Wenhuan kneeling with his head down, stubbornness written all over his forehead, while Concubine Zhao stood there with a serious look on her face and scolded: "How can you agree to go to Anxi casually? Do you know how far it is? Do you know how far it is? How much hardship will you have to endure? Why don't you think more about it, even if you ask your father to help you with a few things..."
"How can I refuse the imperial grandfather's order? Otherwise, it would be disobeying the emperor's order?" Liu Wenhuan, probably annoyed by Concubine Zhao's words, raised his head and retorted.
"Your grandfather was joking with you..."
"The emperor has no jokes!" Liu Wenhuan said seriously. When he said this, Liu Wenhuan couldn't help but picture Emperor Liu's majestic and inviolable appearance in his mind. That kind of strong authority was both fearful and desirable.
Seeing Liu Wenhuan's disobedience, Concubine Zhao became even more angry. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Huan finally responded. He forcefully put down the bowl in his hand, and the sound of the bowl colliding suddenly attracted the attention of the mother and son who were arguing.
Liu?'s eyes wandered around the mother and son twice, then looked at Concubine Zhao, and said calmly: "Okay! I can't even have peace even if I want to have a dinner!"
If you haven't trained enough, you can go back to your dormitory to continue. In Hongde Hall, I don't know whether you are training Wenhuan or you are training me! "
Hearing what Liu Xi said and noticing his gloomy face, Concubine Zhao knew that her behavior had offended the prince. She bent her graceful figure and apologized: "I was anxious for a moment, and my words were conflicting, which offended His Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness!”
Hearing this, Liu? stared at him: "If I hadn't realized how much you love your son, do you think I would have let you indulge in filial piety in the palace?"
Liu?'s calm words were full of majesty, which was very different from his usual gentleness. Concubine Zhao felt it and subconsciously restrained herself, not daring to stab her at will.
"Wenhuan, get up!" His eyes turned to Liu Wenhuan, Liu? waved his hand at him, and even showed a smile of approval on his face: "You performed well in Chui Gong Hall today!"
Hearing his father's praise, Liu Wenhuan's young face suddenly burst into a smile. He quickly stood up and bowed to Liu: "My son is just following my father's daily teachings!"
Concubine Zhao had calmed down, but when she saw Liu Hui still praising Liu Wenhuan, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart, and said: "Wenhuan has never even been out of the capital for so many years, let alone Anxi? Anxi is so far away and there is a war, so what? He can go!"
Liu Hui obviously didn't like hearing this, and immediately refuted: "Why can't you go to the land of the Han Dynasty? As a descendant of the Han royal family, is there any reason to be afraid of difficulties and distances? So many soldiers are fighting against foreign traitors in Suiye , a bloody battlefield, and you only asked him to escort a batch of supplies, and you are complaining like this!"
Concubine Zhao said: "He is not yet sixteen years old, he is too young to be in trouble!"
"Aspirations don't lie in your youth!" Liu Dandan said: "Your Majesty is sixteen years old and has already joined the army! The sixth brother is sixteen years old and has already gone to the desert and sailed thousands of miles across the sea! Even our brothers are ten years old. In the past, I have accompanied His Majesty on many tours and on battlefields. Compared with these, Wen Huan is sixteen years old, and you still protect him like this. Don't you feel ashamed?
Being raised in a deep palace is not a good thing for him. He can go out to practice and practice. This is a good opportunity. If he can handle things, he will be successful in the future! "
After preaching, Liu Hui looked at Liu Wenhuan again and said sincerely: "Thousands of miles of walking should be regarded as an assessment for you. Don't let your grandfather and me down!"
Seeing Liu Hui's solemn words, Liu Wenhuan's expression became extremely serious, his face tightened, and he bowed his hands and said, "Yes!"
Concubine Zhao seemed to have something to say, but Liu Xiu didn't want to hear it anymore and said to him indifferently: "Do you think His Majesty is just joking? If he didn't want to cultivate him, why would he mention this matter specifically? This kindness Work hard and experience it more!"
Although Concubine Zhao was caring and caring, she was not without wisdom. After listening to Liu Yu's explanation, she couldn't help but look at each other with Liu Wenhuan, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
"Your Highness's teachings, I will keep them in mind!" Concubine Zhao respectfully bowed to Liu?
Liu? looked uninterested and waved to her: "We are going to leave in the next two days. You and your mother should go back and talk about what you need to care about and what you need to explain!"
"yes!"
After Concubine Zhao led Liu Wenhuan to retreat, Liu?s face was quickly covered with a look of exhaustion. It had to be said that in his eyes, Concubine Zhao no longer had the gentle and virtuous feeling she had in the past. The fight between the two concubines also annoyed him.
Like Emperor Liu, he still loved Wenhuan Liu? After all, he was his eldest son. When the heirs were in trouble, Liu Wenhuan's birth had special significance to Liu? Because of this special feeling, Liu? ?Subconsciously, he had deep expectations for Liu Wenhuan.
After so many years, special attention has been paid to his training and learning, and Liu Wenhuan's performance has not disappointed Liu? At least he has the most basic qualities of a royal child.
Although Liu He felt conflicted about the distinction between legitimate son and concubine, it was only after the birth of his legitimate son. Before that, Liu He obviously had high hopes for Liu Wenhuan.
But now, with the overt and covert fighting within the East Palace, and with the confrontation between the two concubines becoming more and more explicit, Liu?'s boredom is also increasing. Concubine Zhao's recent behavior has made Liu? begin to worry. If Liu Wenhuan is raised by her again, being affected by her will have adverse consequences for Liu Wenhuan's growth.
Therefore, the mother and son were separated, and Liu Wenhuan was allowed to go out and experience some hardships, and see how he would perform without the influence of his mother, and whether he could take on big responsibilities...
In fact, even if there was no escort mission suddenly given by Emperor Liu, Liu Hui planned to arrange some errands for Liu Wenhuan and officially began to hone his son. Life is not easy for the royal children of the Han Dynasty at present. They have received strict elite education from childhood to defecation, and with Emperor Liu watching over them, there is no easy life.
Even if he is as carefree as Liu Yun or as ridiculous as Liu Shu, he has been polished by the two palaces of Wenhua and Wuying for more than ten years. The same is true for Liu Wenhuan's generation, who have never relaxed in education. Regardless of their personality, every prince, dragon and grandson must be honest in the face of the admission system.
How did Liu Hui get through all the way back then? Now he plans to use it on Liu Wenhuan. As he said, this is both a temper and a test.
Sitting in the hall, pondering for a long time, Liu? raised his head and called out: "Come here!"
"Your Highness!" Wang Yue, the chamberlain, stepped forward quickly, waiting for instructions.
Liu? gave direct instructions: "Pass on Murong Yongren and Zhao Defang!"
Zhao Defang is the son of the late Rongguo Duke Zhao Kuangyin, while Murong Yongren has nothing to do with the Crown Princess Murong, but is the eldest son of Luan Guo Duke Murong Chengde. They are all after meritorious service, and are relatives of the emperor. Now they are both civil and military, and they are all serving in the East Palace. value.
Although Liu Wenhuan needs to be tempered, he cannot let it go completely. After all, it involves military aircraft and is not something to be trifled with. Therefore, it is inevitable and responsible to equip Liu Wenhuan with certain helpers to assist him in completing the escort mission.
Murong Yongren and Zhao Defang were obviously the helpers Liu Hu prepared for Liu Wenhuan.
It was a cool autumn night, and he was wearing a robe. He walked around the palace garden with a heavy heart, but before he knew it, he came to Concubine Xiao's Yuehua Courtyard...
