True Phoenix and Virtual Phoenix

Here, Li Zhao and Zhao Mu were wandering in the garden relatively silently. Zhao Mu walked ahead alone with his hands behind his back. Li Zhao was a bit shorter than him, and his short legs were naturally not as fast as him, so he had to speed up and follow behind him. , frowned somewhat aggrieved.

"You are the Prince Li Zhao of Nanzhao Kingdom?"

When passing by a small gazebo in the middle of Biluo Lake, Zhao Mu suddenly turned around and sat down, his gaze was just on par with Li Zhao's, his tone of voice was not polite, his eyes were not soft, but slightly scrutinized and contemptuous.

Li Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Mu. Although he saw that Brother Mu's facial features were exquisite, his eyes were as deep as a knife carving, and his eyes were as tender as an ink painting. A feeling of uneasiness and fear.

Children's senses are always very sensitive, Li Zhao smelled a breath he didn't like from Zhao Mu, frowned and stepped back a little, without saying a word.

Zhao Mu saw that he was a little scared, and his smile deepened, but it was a little softer.

"Just now I heard brother Zhao'er say that governing the country is like governing the water. It can be seen that you have quick thinking and unique insights. You really deserve to be the crown prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Even the little king felt ashamed after hearing it. To praise you so much!"

Li Zhao couldn't hear the sarcasm in Zhao Mu's words, only from the literal meaning, Zhao Mu seemed to praise him, half of his face turned red, he shook his head and said: "'The one who governs the river decides to guide him, and the one who governs the people proclaims it. Shi Yan [Note 1]' This sentence comes from He Wensheng's "Jing Lun Jian", which is what I have studied recently. Song Taifu also explained it to me. It must have been my own opinion, but the result was my father's absurd praise."

After the little prince Li Zhao finished speaking, his face became even redder, and he felt a rush of heat coming out like crazy, he scratched his head in embarrassment, raised his face and smirked at Zhao Mu whose expression changed slightly.

Originally, Zhao Mu was still disgusted by the pretentious performances of the two mothers and sons, thinking that the mother was like this, and the younger one would naturally follow her all the way, but now seeing that Li Zhao was speaking without any defense, and he seemed to be foolish all over, he felt as if Not so? !

"It's really a coincidence. I just crossed the bridge with the emperor and saw you explaining this sentence to your mother. It is more accurate than counting the time!"

Zhao Mu changed his seat and waited for Li Zhao to change his face. He thought that his irony was so obvious this time.

"What a coincidence. Originally, I was copying what my mother said, and I don't know why my mother suddenly asked me on a whim. She was not interested in these things before!" Li Zhao unexpectedly combined the real situation. Confidentially, he frowned uncomfortably as he spoke, "My mother fined me to copy "Jing Lun Jian" three times, and now I haven't finished it all, and I don't know if I won't be able to leave Huayang Palace for a few days."

It turned out that he was being punished!This little idiot is very innocent, how could such a scheming woman raise such a stupid son?I heard that the little prince of Nanzhao Kingdom is six years old this year and has extraordinary intelligence. Now it seems that he is just a nerd who knows how to memorize by rote.Although he is still young at the age of six, Mr. Wang and grandson are often full of scheming at such a young age. It is difficult to find another prince like him who is so innocent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mu couldn't help laughing, the sarcasm on his face disappeared, and his whole expression looked more lively and sincere.

The elder brother of the baby's prince looked at Zhao Mu with open eyes, and said in a daze, "You have such a beautiful smile. I have only seen my father's and... baby's with such a beautiful smile. But my father doesn't smile very often. When he smiles, it makes people feel like a fairy, as if he is far away from me. But the baby loves to laugh. When he smiles, his eyes will narrow into small crescents, and there are two Shallow dimples, very cute!"

Seeing that Zhao Mu was kinder than before, Li Zhao wasn't afraid any more. He found a stool and sat down on it. He propped his head up and smirked like he remembered a beautiful thing. His calf couldn't reach the ground, so he just swayed in the air. In a flash, it is very light.

"Well, your father is indeed very beautiful, and his smile is also very beautiful, but it is as pale as water. Then who is the baby you are talking about, who is your sweetheart? I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so affectionate at such a young age. .”

"no no--"

Li Zhao suddenly heard Brother Mu say such a sentence, so frightened, he quickly stood up and shook his head violently, for fear that he would not believe him.

"My baby and I just met yesterday, I just want to be friends with her, really!"

"Love~ People always start with friends as an excuse. It's a good thing to start a relationship. You are about the same age. When I was your age, my father was looking for a princess everywhere for me."

Zhao Mu smiled, and stared narrowly at Li Zhao's eyes. Li Zhao's face was dripping with cold sweat, thinking how could brother Mu's words be so similar to what his father said, if the two of them became good friends , it is estimated that it will be very compatible.
