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

The imperial court has resumed its office work, and the emperor's classes have begun, so Brother Heng also made arrangements to continue going to the palace as a companion.

Probably because he had to practice sword and boxing every day, Brother Heng's health improved a lot. Even though he got up early and went to the palace every day, he was nervous about studying, but he didn't get sick.

Entering February, the weather will be much warmer. On the day of Erlong's rise in February, the imperial court has a holiday, and brother Heng also has a holiday. He also went to the outskirts of the city to fly kites with Xu Qilang and several sisters and sisters at home.

On the third day of junior high school, the emperor had to go to listen to the morning court for a while. There were only brothers Heng and Zhao Zhili in the study. Zhao Zhili said, "The pasture by the East Lake is the best for horse racing. I rode horses all day yesterday. In winter All the stagnant energy has been dissipated."

Brother Heng was reading a book, and then said, "You are not idle in winter, how can you accumulate depression."

There was a hint of teasing in the tone, the two had been together for a long time, Brother Heng found that Zhao Zhili was not as difficult to get along with as he first thought, so sometimes he could joke with him.

Zhao Zhili continued to catch up with homework and write, and said, "Who can indulge in riding a horse in winter? If you want to indulge in riding a horse at a gallop, the feeling of being able to fly is the best."

When he said this, he looked at Brother Heng and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Brother Heng said, "It's okay to sit on the horse and have a young man leading the horse."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Zhili laughed, "Is that what you call riding a horse? It's called riding a horse when you're galloping on a horse. Hey, you coward, you definitely don't dare. Telling you about this feeling, you don't understand. "

Brother Heng sat upright, and said, "There is a saying that a son of a thousand gold can't sit down. My life is very precious, and I won't let myself have an accident because of such a trivial matter as riding a horse. Cherish my life and body , How can this be called cowardice, this is called a person who knows his own self-respect, knows the seriousness, and does not let his parents worry."

Zhao Zhili didn't take it seriously, and laughed at him, "You are very good at making excuses. A man should indulge himself, otherwise there is no point. I think you are too rigid, behave in everything you do, young, I didn't see you lol , I didn’t see you speak loudly when I spoke, and I didn’t see you really get angry. You said that you abide by the rules in everything like this, won’t you hold back.”

Brother Heng was taken aback by what he said, stared at Zhao Zhili, and said, "Where did Mr. Zhao come from? A gentleman should observe etiquette, laugh freely, shout loudly, and get angry for no reason. These are the actions of lunatics, right?" .”

Facing Brother Heng's face that was always calm, Zhao Zhili really wanted to pinch him like an emperor, but in the end he just said, "Differences of the way are not conspiring with each other, it doesn't make sense to you."

Then I went to continue writing my own words.

There was a curtain at the door of the study, the emperor stood behind the curtain for a while before going in, Brother Heng and Zhao Zhili saluted him after entering, and then he sat down in his seat.

Brother Heng has already discovered that after the Lantern Festival, the emperor will treat him a lot less, not as close as before.

Although Brother Heng thinks this is just right, in fact he is not a person who likes to be intimate with others, but he has to think about the deep meaning of the emperor.

In the morning Taifu Song had a class for a while, followed by Master Tang. After the morning class, Brother Heng and Zhao Zhili had lunch in the side hall, and the little emperor said that the Empress Dowager was not very well because of the wind and cold a few days ago. So he took the time at noon to visit the queen mother in her palace.

Brother Heng is absolutely sure that the emperor doesn't like the queen mother, but the emperor can start from a small point, so that people can't see his dislike for the queen mother at all, but can feel the emperor's respect and affection for the queen mother from all aspects.

Brother Heng admired such acting skills from the bottom of his heart, but he was also a little chilled.

When the emperor arrived at the Empress Dowager's Phoenix Feather Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the couch. The Emperor knelt down and saluted. When the Empress Dowager saw him, her eyes could not help but have some deep meaning, and she said, "Your Majesty, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Empress." The emperor then got up, walked to the empress dowager, stood beside the couch, and reached out his hand to touch the empress dowager's forehead. The emperor's hand was naturally full of calluses from practicing sword and riding and shooting, and the young man was full of yang , the palm was warm, the queen mother was stunned for a moment when he touched her forehead.

At this time, the emperor had already taken his hand away and said, "When I had a fever before, a big court lady named Ye Zi was by my side at that time, and she stretched out her hand to check my body temperature. I also tried my mother's temperature just now , It does look a little hot. Mother, you have to take good care of your body, you are still young, and my son still wants to be filial to you in the future."

Even if the emperor is not the empress dowager's own son, such a statement is enough to move the empress dowager.

The empress dowager's originally deep eyes also softened a lot, she smiled and said, "How can the Ai family not take care, the Ai family is still waiting for you to get married and have a grandson in the future."

The emperor's cheeks turned a little red, looking embarrassed.

The queen mother thought that although he was the emperor, he was still a young man, and he would be shy when talking about getting married.

The queen mother asked again, "Why do you come to Ai's house at this time, don't you have class today?"

The emperor looked at her softly, "I'm in class today. Master Tang's class is over in the morning, so I hurried over here. I was worried about your mother's illness. If I don't come to see you, I will practice in class in the afternoon." The sword, I'm afraid even the sword moves have to be messed up."

The queen mother was amused by him, and said, "Aijia knows your heart, the emperor has a lot of schoolwork, so it's good to know how to take care of yourself."

The emperor sat down on the couch and said, "I haven't had lunch yet, but I actually want to come and eat with you and my mother."

The Empress Dowager clapped her hands and said, "Ai's negligence, I didn't even ask you."

Saying that, she called Jiexiang, "Let the dining room come for lunch, Ai's family can't eat anything, so they are all ready for the emperor."

Jie Xiang hurried out to make arrangements.

The emperor smiled and said to the queen mother, "Mother, the food here is still delicious. I can't wait to come to my mother's place soon."

"You!" The Empress Dowager reprimanded helplessly.

As he spoke, thinking of his companion, "Why didn't you call Zhili and that child from Ji's family over today?"

The emperor said, "I thought that my mother was ill, maybe I didn't like the noise of people, so I just came here by myself."

The queen mother said again, "You are so careful, you really have a heart." When it came to brother Heng, "That Ji Heng, the Ai family heard that you have become distant from him recently? Why, don't you like him?"

The emperor seemed to be stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and said embarrassedly, "It's your mother who taught you the right thing. I had a conflict with Xu Xuan because of Ji Heng. Now Concubine Xu is also complaining a lot to me. It's my mother." I don't know the severity, so I feel very guilty, and I am not very happy to see Ji Heng."

The queen mother sighed and said, "Ji Heng is just a courtier. Even though he is good-looking, as an emperor, how can he judge people by their appearance? In the future, there will be many beauties in your harem..."

When the queen mother said this, she didn't say anything later. The emperor nodded hurriedly, and then was in a daze for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few days later, Xu Xuan followed his father, Mr. Xu, to Guangzhou. On that day, the emperor suddenly said in his study, "Xu Xuan has already left."

Brother Heng was writing. I don't know if he was too focused and didn't hear it, or he was upset, so he didn't answer the conversation. Instead, he read Mencius in a low voice after a while.

Zhao Zhili took a long look at Brother Heng before answering the emperor, "I guess he left Beijing yesterday."

The emperor sat up straight and said nothing more.

In March, the weeping willows on both sides of the river in central Beijing are already green. After a winter, the frozen river in the northern land has long since thawed out, and the boats on the river are very busy.

Uncle Xu came to Beijing in March. He was very pleased that his son had grown up and learned a lot of knowledge and manners. He felt that it was very wise to send him to Beijing in the first place.

When he was sent to Beijing, besides thinking that it would be more promising to follow Brother Heng, another reason was that there were many disputes among the women in the back house of the Xu family. He was afraid that something would happen to his son, so Xu Qilang would take care of him better if he sent him to the capital.

Uncle Xu came, but Xu Qilang was still in class that day. After class in the afternoon, he went to Mr. Ji's study to meet his father.

At this time Brother Heng also came back from the palace, and before he had time to change his clothes, he was called to the study in the front yard by Master Ji's steward.

As soon as he entered the study, Xu Qilang got up from his chair, ran to him, grabbed his hand, and said, "My father is here."

Then he dragged him to Uncle Xu.

Brother Heng saluted Uncle Xu politely, and said, "Mom said a few days ago that my uncle would be here soon, and today I finally arrived. I haven't seen my uncle for a year or two. My uncle is always in good health? Is aunt okay?"

Uncle Xu pulled Brother Heng, looking like he couldn't put it down, and said, "Don't be so polite, uncle is in good health, and your aunt is fine too."

Then, he looked at Brother Heng carefully, and sighed, "I have grown a lot taller, like a snowman. Brother Heng has been good-looking since he was a child, and the bigger he is, the more elegant he is."

Brother Heng lowered his eyes in a little embarrassment.

Master Ji sat on the chair and said, "Last year, I hurt my face with a sword, and there are still marks on my face."

Uncle Xu looked at his cheek a few more times, feeling a little regretful, and sighed, "This mark can be removed with some medicine."

Xu Qilang said, "Father, didn't you go to Guangzhou, you can get a lot of foreign gadgets, and there are wonder medicines in it to remove the marks on Brother Heng's face?"

Uncle Xu said, "I have to look for this too."

Brother Heng smiled and said, "Actually, I have been applying medicine all the time, maybe it will be better after a while."

A few people were talking, an old mother said something to Mr. Ji's steward outside, and the steward came to the door and said, "Master, uncle, madam, let someone tell you that the sixth aunt is activated now."

Everyone knew what was going on, and Aunt Liu was about to give birth.

Master Ji has always been deep and steady, but at this time his expression changed, he stood up, "If there is another situation, let me report back."

Several people are men, so it is not easy to go to the inner courtyard to watch, so everyone still sits in the front yard and talks.

But Mr. Ji is not as calm as before. Both Brother Heng and Uncle Xu saw Mr. Ji's expectant and impatient look. I am afraid that Mr. Ji still wants a complete son in his heart.
