The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Brother Heng sat on the couch, looked at Xu Qilang, and said helplessly, "Don't be so blah."

Seeing Brother Heng's calm and indifferent expression, Xu Qilang became even more anxious, "Is that right?"

Brother Heng rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you guess right? You asked me what to do."

Xu Qilang smiled openly, unable to hide his excitement, "I knew it was."

Brother Heng stared at him and said narrowly, "Didn't you dislike the emperor before, and now you just took a look and are you so happy?"

Xu Qilang was embarrassed by brother Heng's narrowing down, so he curled his lips and said, "The emperor is the son of heaven. Besides, he has learned literary and martial arts, and he is as good as the emperor's family. I am studying so hard now, but I think that I will be able to have an official position someday." Job. Compared with other scholars, they may not be able to become a Jinshi even if they are old and dead. Even if they are awarded a Jinshi, they may not be able to see Tianyan.

Brother Heng couldn't help being moved by Xu Qilang's words. He seemed to have a deeper awareness of the identity of the emperor.

Because he had already lived a life where everyone was created equal, and in his bones, he actually thought that the emperor was just like him, just an ordinary person, so for the emperor, he never felt from the bottom of his bones that he was How honorable, when getting along with him, although his actions are very respectful, there is not much respect and worship in his heart.

Xu Qilang's words made him reflect again. In this era, the emperor is not only a position of supreme power, but also the spiritual leader in people's hearts.

Brother Heng couldn't help apologizing to Xu Qilang, "I was wrong, everyone should be happy to see the emperor."

Xu Qilang smiled again, "The emperor looks a little taller than me, doesn't he. And he's pretty good-looking, but he's a bit too old."

Speaking of which, when he thought of something, he stretched out his hand to lift Brother Heng's chin, frowned a little unhappy, and said, "Why does he touch your chin casually, it's too immodest."

Brother Heng opened his hands, "Don't touch your hands."

Xu Qilang pursed his lips unhappily, and was about to say something when several girls came out from the inner room.

The third sister's cheeks were a little red, she walked to the stool by the table and sat down on her own, and asked Brother Heng, "Is he really the emperor?"

Brother Heng always knew that the third sister really wanted to enter the palace in the future, but he didn't know what she would think after seeing the emperor today, so he said, "It's better not to tell this matter, the emperor came to our house in disguise, and I don’t want people to know, if we don’t keep the secret and tell the story, the emperor might not be happy.”

Since Brother Heng said that, it means that the one just now is indeed the emperor.

On this day, the emperor was wearing a deep purple dress with a straight train, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown. Although he was only 12 years old, he was already considered tall among his peers. With a healthy complexion, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a peaceful and gentle smile on his face all the time, he really looks like a handsome young man. As an emperor, although he is not in power, he is the lord of the world and has his own personality. Elegant and luxurious, domineering yet reserved and steady.

The third sister's face became even redder. In fact, she had nothing to do with the little emperor. It was probably because she wanted to enter the palace wholeheartedly. She was ashamed.

Seeing that the third sister was so shy, the fourth sister teased, "The third sister was watching through the curtain just now, and almost fell out."

The third sister's face was even redder when she said it, she was almost on fire, "You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The fourth sister smiled at her, and the fifth sister also smiled, which made the third sister even more embarrassed.

Xu Qilang has a good relationship with Brother Heng, but he doesn't have much contact with the elder sisters in this family. Even though he has always been bad-mouthed, he didn't make fun of the third sister, because he was really afraid that the third sister was yearning for the emperor. way too far.

It was Brother Heng who said, "Aren't you going to continue playing Shuanglu?"

The third sister was no longer in the mood to play, so she said, "The fourth aunt told us not to disturb you for too long, brother, and said that we are afraid that you won't be able to rest well, so we won't play, let's go first."

Brother Heng said, "Okay then, put on a cloak when you go out. Although the distance is short, it's cold, so be careful of the wind and chill."

Several sisters and sisters agreed, and then they left together arm in arm.

Xu Qilang and Brother Heng were left there. Brother Heng went to shake the ashes in the incense burner, and took a book to read in his hand. Xu Qilang ate snacks and drank tea, and said to him, "The emperor personally Come to visit you, it can be seen that I really value you."

Brother Heng still said calmly, "Okay, don't talk about this."

Xu Qilang disagreed, "Why don't you say it. The emperor came to see you, but I'm not so happy to see you."

Brother Heng glanced at him, "How can I be happy, run out now and sing a song in the yard?"

Xu Qilang was amused by him, and said, "That's right, you're usually happy, but I haven't seen you act that happy."

Brother Heng didn't reply to him, but thought in his heart, this is not something to be happy about.Even if the emperor went to see Mr. Li Ge in this way, even if people said that he was not prudent enough, the reason is that someone would dig out the emperor's visit to him to see him, and then he became a target for no reason.

Brother Heng didn't care about being this target, but he was still not at ease.

After Mrs. Xu came back, Brother Heng told about the emperor's visit to him. Mrs. Xu was very surprised, but the emperor came and left. There is a way to compensate.

When Lord Ji came back in the evening, Brother Heng told the story of the emperor's visit again.

Master Ji was also very surprised, but he was not as worried as Xu Shi. After contemplating for a while, he let Brother Heng take good care of his body without saying anything.

The news of the emperor's visit to Li Ge's old mansion reached Brother Heng's ears two days later, saying that when the emperor went to Li Ge's old mansion, Li Ge was enjoying wine and plum blossoms in the garden. There were also a few beautiful concubines playing songs, very happy, the emperor went, and he had no time to pretend to be sick in a hurry, so he asked the emperor to catch him, but neither of them broke their faces, and finally treated Li The matter of Mr. Ge pretending to be sick and not going to celebrate the emperor's birthday is nothing.

But since this matter can be spread to the whole capital, then Li Ge's face is indeed worthy of being punished.

Brother Heng took another ten days to recover, and the injuries on his face were all healed. There was a white mark on his face, and Mrs. Xu asked him to apply medicine every day, hoping that the mark would disappear quickly.

Brother Heng didn't care much about the marks on his face.

It's December, and there have been two more snowfalls. Mrs. Xu really doesn't want Brother Heng to go to the palace to accompany him to study in such a cold weather, but the emperor has ordered, and there is no other way. From the beginning of December, Brother Heng, I had classes in the palace again until December 22, so it was considered a winter vacation.

At this time, all the yamen of the imperial court were also sealed to prepare for the New Year.

Brother Heng understands the depth of the little emperor's mind, so he went to the palace to study with him after his face was healed. He still treats people and things with the most respectful and rigid attitude, and gets a good teacher like Taifu Song for free. Yes, it is also worth it.

In the past 20 days, the only companions in the emperor's study were Brother Heng and Zhao Zhili. The emperor did not want Xu Xuan to be companions, so Xu Xuan really never appeared in the Shouxin Zhai in the east side hall of Qinzheng Hall.

This year's Spring Festival is no different from previous years.

Uncle Xu sent a lot of New Year's gifts to Jifu, and even lychees frozen in the ice, probably when the lychees were ripe, they were frozen in the ice cellar, and they were still frozen until now, so they were sent to Beijing.

This is a very rare item, and the empress dowager in the palace may not be able to eat lychees during this season.

Brother Heng also likes to eat lychees very much, so he ate too much. During the New Year's Eve, he got very angry, and nothing else happened, except nosebleeds, and then he caught a cold. He was so sick for the whole Spring Festival.

Xu is worried about her son, and this year will not be a good one.

After the new year, the baby in Liu Yiniang's belly is also six or seven months old, and her belly is getting bigger. She is already petite, and her body hasn't seen much better before. This pregnancy is very uncomfortable, and she often asks for a doctor, which also makes Xu There are many more things.

So after the year Xu also fell ill.

Almost all the affairs in the mansion were transferred to Fourth Aunt's hands.

The eldest sister who married into the Zhang family, the Zhang family treated the eldest sister well and valued her very much, and Zhang Jia Erlang also respected this wife very much.

The eldest sister was diagnosed as pregnant a few years ago, but during the Spring Festival, she accidentally slipped and fell in the snow and had a miscarriage. The Zhang family was very sad, and the eldest sister’s mother, San Yiniang, was also very worried. Going to Zhang's house to visit her daughter, she couldn't stay in Ji's house at all.

These troubles in Ji's mansion naturally did not bother brother Heng to come. He recovered from his illness during the Spring Festival, and went to the palace with Lord Ji to receive the Lantern Festival banquet during the Lantern Festival.

This Lantern Festival is very different from the previous Mid-Autumn Festival.

In order to please the Queen Mother, the Zhao family made two big lantern boats for the Lantern Festival and launched them into the Penglai Pond.

Brother Heng was also fortunate to accompany him on one of the light ships.

The captain is four or five feet long, and the width is three feet wide. The interior is very spacious, and the cabin is gorgeous and elegant. The dancers are singing and dancing on the high pavilion next to Fengxiang Hall, and they sit in the boat and watch.

Two boats, one of which carried the empress dowager and concubine, the honorable lady in Beijing, and the young lady of a famous noble family who had not left the court, and the other boat contained the emperor and high-ranking ministers. Although the boat was big, it was not All the ministers can be installed, so most of the ministers who came to receive the banquet still sat in the Fengxiang Hall to watch the lanterns.

Although the emperor behaved calmly in front of the ministers, he still had the vivacity and detachment of a child. After listening to the ministers' congratulatory speeches, he looked at Mr. Li Ge and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, can I go play by myself?" ?”

In name, Mr. Li Ge was the little emperor's imperial teacher, but he was also the chief minister and was very busy, so naturally he never gave lessons to the little emperor.

As the emperor's accompanying student, Brother Heng met Mr. Li several times in the east side hall of the Qinzheng Hall to watch the emperor's classes. The ones who really teach the emperor are Song Taifu and Master Tang, and most of the time it is Song Taifu.

However, the emperor called Mr. Li Ge directly as "teacher".

Mr. Li Ge sighed, feeling a little bit dissatisfied, but he couldn't help but say, "Go."

So the little emperor smiled, stepped down from the throne, walked up to Brother Heng who was sitting below, took his hand, and led him out of the cabin to play on the deck in front of the ship.
