Heaven

Lu Yuanchen picked up a cup of tea and put it to his mouth.This was originally a high-quality Biluochun, but at the moment he felt that he was not interested, after smelling it, he put it back on the carved mahogany table.

Having been with Emperor Chu for so many years, he can also guess [-]% to [-]% of Jing Yan's thoughts by himself.Ever since Qian Qianyan suddenly brought back the fifth prince three years ago, he knew that this son, the emperor, held a special place in his heart.

For many years, he had been by Jing Yan's side as a military counselor, and the famous general Chu Tianshu of the former dynasty became the fifth prince's martial arts master shortly thereafter.The madman Chu, with his eyes above the top, not only praised the fifth prince, but also used his family's secret method to purify the essence of the prince's I Ching, which is really eye-catching.

If it was just the fifth prince's talent and intelligence, Lu Yuanchen was not worried at all, but Jing Hao's attitude towards him was completely different from that of other sons. It was all done by the emperor himself.

Until the world finally calmed down a little bit, after Emperor Chu returned to Beijing, the first decree was to discuss with himself that he would invite teachers for the princes.

Although he is the prime minister, Lu Yuanchen still has a bit of envy for the position of Taifu.After all, only by establishing a good relationship with the next king can the family last forever.

However, according to what Jing Hao said, he planned to personally invite Chen Boyan, a famous Confucian of a generation, to be his grand tutor.Lu Yuanchen frowned, Jing Yan never cared about the discipline of his children.He even boasted to his subordinate generals that his eldest son has not been raised for a day, so he can still become a general who leads an army to lead a party?He has always had a natural attitude towards the development of his children.But now, when the fifth prince has reached the age of enlightenment, he is uncharacteristically going to hire a famous teacher from all over the world for him?

Lu Yuanchen sighed, and ordered his servants to call his youngest son.Although he didn't get the post of Taifu, Jing Yan ordered his youngest son to be accompanied by the princes in order to make up for the disappointment of the trustworthy prime minister.The emperor patted him on the shoulder and said what he said seemed to be still in his ears——

"I think Zihuai is a good child. In troubled times, you should use counselors, but in governing the world, you should use straight ministers. He has a good personality. When the world is peaceful in the future, he is also a candidate to assist the king in governing the world."

Lu Yuanchen knew that the emperor had promised the future wealth of the Lu family.After all, my younger sister entered the palace as a concubine, and if she remained in the position as a foreign minister for a long time, she would definitely be criticized by others.And Jing Hao's words are almost equivalent to giving the Lu family a promise to stand upright.

He looked up at his son, who was not as high as the table, but walked in slowly with his clothes hem in one hand.Indeed, this youngest son is more gentle and generous than his older brothers, and he is a good candidate to learn the way of a gentleman.On the contrary, it is impossible for him to master those unique skills because of his incompatibility.

"Zihuai pays homage to Father." Lu Zihuai bowed upright, until Lu Yuanchen waved him to get up, then stood respectfully under his father's head and quietly waited for him to speak.

Lu Yuanchen explained to his son the purpose of sending him to the palace to accompany him to study, and at the end he did not forget to remind him: "The fifth prince should be your future monarch, and you must establish a good relationship with him. But you don't have to obviously please him." As far as he is concerned, it is good to keep a distance that is neither too far nor too close to every prince. If you are close, it is easy to break, you have to remember."

"Follow father's instruction." Lu Zihuai nodded.

"But you, Ya'er, are related to you after all, so you can be a little closer to him, lest people say you are unreasonable. You can handle the medium by yourself." Lu Yuanchen frowned and said, "Your aunt, remember I often go to ask An to serve. By the way, remind her, just say that I said it, and don’t think about things that are not your own."

"Yes." Lu Zihuai saluted again before taking his leave.

Lu Yuanchen watched his son's back disappear outside the door, and nodded in satisfaction.That's all right, foreign relatives have never been in power for a long time. Although we can't see the blood of the Lu family ascending to the sky, how can we know that it is not a blessing?It was a blessing to meet such a nostalgic emperor like Jing Yan.

Among the six princes, the six princes in the cold palace are not counted. The two Jing Yan who have the royal blood of the Jing Kingdom have personally said that they will not be appointed as heirs, and the eldest prince has already been crowned king and left the capital, so in the early years, it seemed that Jing Mingya The original is also somewhat hopeful.It's a pity that the appearance of the fifth prince took away all the favor of the emperor in an instant, and rumors spread in the harem that Jing Yan wanted to chase his mother after him...

In any case, since Jing Yan is willing to give his son a grace, as long as his sister asks her to keep her duty, there should be no major mistakes.Lu Yuanchen touched the goatee on his chin that he had managed to grow, and smiled with his mouth crooked.

In fact, Lu Zihuai was a bit too polite by nature, and it was not easy to get close to others.Coupled with his father's teaching, after he became an accompanying student, he was not very close to every prince.

As for the relationship with Jing Mingrui, this is beyond his control.The little boy with no warmth in his eyes seemed to be surrounded by a terrifying and dangerous aura, even adults were not allowed to approach at will.

However, the two princes born by Concubine Xuanhuang had some faint hostility towards him as the prime minister's son, but Lu Zihuai didn't take it seriously either.

The only one who came closer was probably Jing Mingya.

Lu Zihuai is the youngest in the family, so he has always yearned for this cousin who is three years younger than him.He vaguely remembered the time when the imperial concubine came home when he was a child, he secretly went to see the little baby, and gently pinched his face when the people around him were not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, the babies at that time had already grown so big, almost reaching the height of his chest, Lu Zihuai couldn't help showing a little smile at the corner of his mouth.It's just that he really doesn't know how to express his concern, so that even when facing Jing Mingya, the expression on his face is always indifferent.Fortunately, this cousin will not be repelled by his slightly indifferent appearance, and is always around him.He even begged him to bring him some gadgets outside before he went home every time.

In fact, Lu Zihuai never liked those toys for coaxing children. Even the gifts he received during the festivals when he was a child, he only kept some books, and let the maids put away everything else.

Naturally, he didn't have the opportunity to go to the streets to buy them.As the prime minister's son, no one dared to let him go out easily.So he had to wrinkle his face and ask the maid for the keys to the boxes that he never opened.Under the surprised gazes of the maids, he rummaged through the box to find something that Jing Mingya might like.

Never do such a stupid thing again!Although Lu Zihuai thinks this way every time, in fact, every time he can't match his cousin's innocent smile and soft pleading.

All kinds of gadgets can always make the smile on Jing Mingya's face last for days.At this time, the third and fourth princes would mock Jing Mingya with jealousy for not having a royal demeanor.Lu Zihuai touched his cousin's soft hair, and felt that even if he was not the heir in Emperor Chu's mind, it would be good to be a happy prince in the future.

Once, Jing Mingrui, who had always walked by coldly, suddenly stopped beside them.He picked up a monkey face mask from a pile of sundries that Lu Zi had secretly brought, and gestured in front of himself.

"Can you give this to me?" Jing Mingrui's voice was still flat without any emotion.

"Uh... Fifth Prince, if you like it... just take it." Even Lu Zihuai, who was always calm, stuttered, staring blankly at Jing Mingrui as he put on the strap of his mask solemnly, and walked away.

When he heard that Jing Mingya slipped and fell into the lake, Lu Zihuai felt as if his heart was being held tightly by an invisible hand.Before he could prepare in time, he hurried into the palace.Fortunately, all the guards in the palace recognized him and did not stop him.

Rushing into Jing Mingya's palace, Lu Zihuai went straight to the bed.The next moment, he couldn't believe it, the pale boy lying on the bed with his eyes closed was the one who always followed behind him and sweetly called his cousin!

Jing Mingya's health has always been poor, and she always gets sick for three or four months a year.It wasn't until Lu Zihuai entered the palace that he improved slightly.

"This time, the second prince may not be able to survive."

The words of the imperial physician kept whirling and amplifying in his ears, and Lu Zihuai felt his palms go cold.My aunt has already gone to Emperor Chu to make a theory. It is said that it was because someone saw the guards in the imperial concubine's palace appearing nearby.In the small palace, there was no one there, only Jing Mingya's uncomfortable groans, and the sound of his body turning from time to time.

Lu Zihuai took off his cloak and coat, got into the quilt and hugged the trembling boy.He felt that Jing Mingya's body, which was much thinner than ordinary people, went from hot to cold, and he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, you will definitely be able to survive... definitely can..."

Jing Mingya was in a coma for seven days before waking up.

He opened his eyes and saw the person holding the medicine bowl in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.He stretched out his weak hand to embrace Lu Zihuai who was careful not to let the medicine bowl overturn, and called out in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zihuai..."

When struggling on the verge of life and death, Jing Mingya suddenly realized in her heart that she was so stupid to be entangled in whether to fight or not to fight.Whether to fight or not to fight is not something that can be decided by oneself.

How can you forget what is really important?

That warm embrace was not for his status, not for future benefits, but out of simple concern for a person named Jing Mingya.

How can I let him go?
