In the warm room of the Imperial College, the bright spring light is shining.

During the lunch break, the six-year-old emperor's son Xuanyuan Che was still sitting at his desk, reviewing his lessons seriously.

The little fellow's voice was childish, but steady. He said in a clear voice: "...Emperor Mu passed away. In the same year, Princess Diyang ascended the throne. This was the early years of Xuanyang."

"In the spring of February, Emperor Shengyang, with King Fengran as the commander, sent an army of 300,000 and finally conquered the capital of the barbarian kingdom. After that, it took another three months to successively exterminate the remaining people and horses of the Ashile tribe. At this point, only a few dozen barbarians were left, fleeing into the depths of the Kale Desert."

"On the 16th of the same month, the son of the Marquis of Guanjun, the Major General Xie Wuai, led 100,000 cavalrymen to the Jialuo Royal City."

"The nephew of the late king Bai Cheng came out of the city to surrender."

"Emperor Shengyang erected a boundary marker, named it Muzhou, divided it into four prefectures and seventeen cities, and appointed the new top scholar as the governor of Muzhou."

Xuanyuan Che turned to the next volume and said in a clear and melodious voice: "In the early years of Xuanyang, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Imperial Censor Zhang Lanheng made a memorial..."

"The Huainan Pei clan colluded with the barbarians and the Yuan clan in Mengjia Island, Chuzhou, and Winter Village, Qingzhou, using living people to make poison and killing innocent people. They also used Futu Mountain in the western border as a base to privately forge military weapons and command their own troops. For a hundred years, they formed cliques inside and outside the court, amassed wealth and embezzled money, and framed loyal officials for treason."

"The evidence of the Huainan Pei family's crime is irrefutable, as evidenced by witnesses, physical evidence, and account books."

"The emperor heard about it and sentenced the Pei and Yuan families to death with their entire clans, with no mercy."

Suddenly, there was a rustling noise behind me.

Xuanyuan Che turned around while holding the book and looked at his little sister who was climbing in through the window like a thief.

Suddenly, he sighed softly: "Zhuozhuo, do you still remember that this is your home?"

"If we go to the Purple Mangrove Forest, we can give this to Brother Che as soon as possible!" Princess Xuanyuan Zhuo bit a candied haws while stuffing the newly bought sugar paintings and crispy candies into her brother's arms. "This sugar painting is different from what we ate before! It's sour and sweet, and tastes great! And the crispy candies, Brother Jing said there's soft jujube paste inside!"

"Sneaking out of the palace to play again? Can you finish your homework for old tutor Zhang?" Before Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, the little imperial sister stuffed a mouthful of puff pastry into his mouth.

Then, out of curiosity, "Brother, you clearly memorized it after listening to it once, why do you need to review it?"

"Read more and you will always find more interesting things." Xuanyuan Che said seriously.

"???" Xuanyuan Zhuo seemed to understand, but she was too lazy to ask further because she was more concerned about something else at the moment. "Brother Che, I heard the palace people whispering that there has been no royal heir born in the palace for many years because the Queen Mother is incompetent and immoral. Now the ministers are urging the Queen Mother to take in a new concubine."

The little princess laid down on the desk in front of her brother and said aggrievedly, "Taking a new maid? Is it like Ayue's father taking a concubine?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che was silent for a long time before he said, "Yes."

"Ayue's father married a new concubine, and he has new brothers and sisters. Ayue said he was very sad, and his mother was also very sad..." Xuanyuan Zhuo bit the candied haws. The candied haws were as sweet as before, but she looked depressed. "The Queen Mother has taken a new concubine. Will we also have new brothers and sisters soon? Brother Che, I don't want to give the Queen Mother to other children..."

"Brother, can you think of a solution?"

Seeing that the little sister was upset, Xuanyuan Che's face, which looked very much like his father, became particularly serious. "Zhuozhuo, let's run away from home."

After a moment of hesitation, Xuanyuan Zhuo suddenly became happy: "Yohoo! Great! Running away from home!"

"Brother Che! There is a secret passage under the bed in the cold palace! Let's take a look~~" Xuanyuan Zhuo boasted proudly: "My mother taught me how to open the lock with a golden needle! It's so convenient!"

Half an hour later, in the cold palace.

Beside the palace eaves, the secret guards stared at the little prince and princess who were fiddling with something under the bed.

After hesitating for a while, he ordered the secret guard beside him, "I'll watch, you report this matter to the master quickly."

In less than half a minute, King Feng Ran arrived hurriedly.

But when he got to the door, he stopped outside the house without any hurry.

At the same time, under the bed, Xuanyuan Zhuo held up Xizhu and took a closer look. It was a wooden box.

Xuanyuan Che carefully swept away the cobwebs and dust around the wooden box, and waited for his little sister to finally open the copper lock after trying for a long time.

It turned out to be a box full of letters.

"What is this? A letter from the emperor's uncle?" The little princess blinked and whispered in confusion: "Who wrote to my father?"

"Zuozhuo, this is the handwriting of my mother." After saying this, Xuanyuan Che seemed to realize something and looked back in the direction of the door.

His father taught him swordsmanship, so he needed to have sharp ears and sharp eyes.

There was clearly someone behind the door.

Moreover, that person deliberately leaked his aura to attract his attention.

Xuanyuan Che tightly grasped the knife given by his mother, but heard a cold voice, "Xuanyuan Che, Xuanyuan Zhuo."

After a moment, King Feng Ran stared coldly at the two little guys who were caught and asked, "Reason?"

The imperial capital has been in turmoil lately. Vulture, the shadow guard of the Pei family who escaped that year, is causing trouble again.

Half a month ago, Zhuozhu sneaked out of the palace and was mistakenly thought to be kidnapped by Abao. He was so scared that he vomited blood and was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.

But the little daughter came back safe and sound, so Abao couldn't bear to punish her.

That's good. Only half a month has passed. He just slipped out of the palace this morning. Less than half an hour later, this little guy dares to come again? !

Her father was very angry, but she was not afraid!

The little princess who was caught halfway through her runaway journey was very aggrieved: "The Queen Mother said that she loved Father very much, that's why we were born. So the Queen Mother doesn't like Father anymore? So she doesn't want to have a little brother or sister with Father?"

"That's why the Queen Mother wants to take in a new concubine and give birth to another child..."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhuo threw himself into his father's arms, crying with snot streaming down his face: "I don't want to give my mother to other children! Wuuuu! I don't want anyone else to come into my house!! Wuuu, father..."
