The reborn prince is hard to raise

Gu Mingheng leaned closer to his wrist, and gently blew on the place where the ointment was applied.

Aning, you finally spoke.Gu Mingheng closed his eyes slightly to stop the moisture in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he had become more tearful since his rebirth.

When he opened his eyes again, he had a bright smile on his face, "Heng helped Ah Ning blow, does it still hurt?" He looked at Lu Chengning expectantly, hoping to hear his voice again.

But Lu Chengning just shook his head and didn't speak any more.He looked at his wound, and he didn't care about it, and directly pulled off the sleeve to cover it, and then looked at Gu Mingheng's fingers with bright eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Mingheng felt a little helpless, reached out and stroked his sleeve up again, and warned, "A-Ning hurts here, don't take off the sleeve." This time Lu Chengning quickly responded to what he said, Looking up at him, she thought for a while and pulled her sleeves a little higher, then looked at Gu Mingheng with an expression as if asking for praise.

"A-Ning is very good." Gu Mingheng hesitated for a moment in mid-air, and finally put his hand on his hair, stroking it gently, very gently.Lu Chengning seemed to like this feeling very much, and rubbed the top of his head against Gu Mingheng's hand, narrowing his eyes comfortably.

Gu Mingheng looked at his appearance, only to realize that in his memory, he had never seen the queen hug him once, or hold his hand.

Ah Ning, everyone in the world thinks that you are the emperor's only and most valued son-in-law, but in reality?

The empress has been the main wife since before the emperor ascended the throne, and Lu Chengning was born in the second year after Lu Zezhang ascended the throne.There has always been only the empress in the harem, and only Lu Chengning, the only son.

A few years ago, there were old ministers in the court who advised him with their orders, hoping that Lu Zezhang would raise another son to inherit the country and society.But Lu Zezhang ignored it, showing his love for the prince.

Back then, Gu Mingheng thought so too, but now that he thinks about it, he was blinded by the preconceived idea that the emperor and empress doted on the crown prince, but now he realizes that this is far from the case.

If he really loved her, he would never be so indifferent after Lu Chengning was burned.

Gu Mingheng smiled slightly at Lu Chengning, and held his uninjured hand in his. It's good that Aning doesn't understand these complicated things, if he knows, he will be very sad, right?

When he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Gu Mingheng called Ah Zheng who was following the driver.

"You go and tell Nanny Wu first to let her go back and rest, and then ask the imperial physician to see if there is any problem. After all, she is His Highness's wet nurse." After writing down Gu Mingheng's words, Ah Zheng walked towards Lu Chengning and Gu Mingheng Li, then walked quickly to the East Palace.

Hearing the name "Nurse Wu", Lu Chengning didn't react at all.Gu Mingheng carefully observed his expression, thinking in his heart, it seems that many things are not as he imagined, and he can't just believe what he sees on the surface.

And Lu Chengning didn't seem to rely on Nanny Wu that much.

When the two arrived at the East Palace, they saw a little boy waiting at the door, and when they saw the Prince's car driving up, they quickly rushed up to meet him.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zheng?" Gu Mingheng recognized that the person was the book boy next to Zheng Ruyuan, so he asked with a gentle smile.Seeing him looking at the book boy, Lu Chengning followed his example and stared at the book boy with a hint of curiosity.

"Sir, please tell the concubine the princess." The little book boy didn't speak again after finishing speaking, and stood there waiting for Gu Mingheng's reply.

"You should accept the appointment." Gu Mingheng smiled and nodded, then turned to Lu Chengning who was standing beside him and said, "A'Ning, shall we go see Mr. Zheng together?" Lu Chengning turned his eyes away from the book boy and looked at Gu Mingheng But no answer.

The book boy was a little surprised by Gu Mingheng's actions, but he thought that his husband told him that if the princess concubine and the prince were to go together, just lead the way by himself, and don't look or ask too much.

Stepping into the gate of Xiuxinzhai, I saw Zheng Ruyuan sitting on the porch, with a wine jug and a plate of nuts in front of him, looking contented.

Seeing Gu Mingheng walking over with Lu Chengning, he didn't get up to greet him, and casually pointed to the futon opposite him, "I won't give you chairs today, let's learn to sit on the floor first." He said with his skinny fingers He stroked his long beard and laughed.

"The students have met the teacher." Gu Mingheng did not sit down directly, but let go of Lu Chengning's hand and made a bow.Lu Chengning also imitated his appearance and raised his hands in a bow, but the effect was very different.

"Your Highness has made great progress." Zheng Ruyuan looked at Lu Chengning with relief, "When I first entered the East Palace, Your Highness stood in front of the window every day for a whole day, ignoring anyone. It's much better now."

He said with some emotion, "His Royal Highness has grown up and married, and the old man is also old, and his beard has grown so long!" He tugged at his beard and gestured.

At this time, Lu Chengning, who had not moved all this time, suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed his beard.

"A-Ning—" Gu Mingheng cried out seeing his movements, and then looked at Zheng Ruyuan's expression, seeing that he was indeed not unhappy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Zheng's influence should not be underestimated. If he can make Elder Zheng wholeheartedly stand by Lu Chengning's side, the chance of success in the end will be much greater.

Lu Chengning only grabbed it once and then let go. He stood up straight, raised his hand and stroked his chin, his expression was very surprised, as if he suddenly discovered that he didn't have a beard!

Looking at his appearance, Zheng Ruyuan leaned forward and backward with a smile, and completely lost the image of a generation of great Confucians.Lu Chengning took two steps back and stood beside Hui Mingheng, put his eyes on his chin, touched it with his hand, and made sure that Gu Mingheng didn't have a beard, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't the old man find the prince so naughty in the past?" Zheng Ruyuan beat his chest with his hands, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Master, Ah Ning is being naughty." Gu Mingheng saw that Lu Chengning, who was still touching his chin, felt a little helpless, took a step back and solemnly apologized to Zheng Ruyuan.He knew that Zheng Ruyuan always took good care of his beard and took care of it carefully every day. Although Aning didn't tear off a few, it was still abrupt after all.

"Nothing, nothing." Zheng Ruyuan waved his hand with a look of indifference, "His Royal Highness has not matured his mind yet, and he is very curious about everything. He feels that the old man has no ill intentions towards him, so he gets close to the old man." He said and pointed Pointing to the futon opposite her, "Stop standing, sit down and talk."

Then he directed to the bookboy standing aside, "Go and guard the courtyard gate, no one is allowed to come in."

The two sat down, Lu Chengning's attention was quickly attracted by the plate containing nuts.On it, a koi is simply outlined with an ink pen, which is very vivid.Lu Chengning stretched out his hand to poke it, and found that the "fish" hadn't moved, so he boldly picked up the plate and studied it carefully.

Seeing him staring intently at the koi, Gu Mingheng felt relieved.

"Your Highness, Mingheng, don't worry too much." Zheng Ruyuan followed Gu Mingheng's gaze to look at Lu Chengning, and then said, "Your Highness, he is not stupid, otherwise, this old man wouldn't have stayed in the East Palace for a few years." He lowered his voice, Like exchanging secrets, "Did you find out too?"

"En." Gu Mingheng still had doubts in his heart, so he didn't say much.Although Elder Zheng had always supported Lu Chengning in his previous life, the true attitude of the emperor and empress made him no longer trust his previous cognition so much, and became cautious.

"Over the past three years, the old man has observed carefully, and found that His Highness has fooled the world!"

He poured the wine for himself, and said with a smile and a sigh, "When I first entered the palace, the old man also thought His Highness was stupid. But one day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and His Highness took an empty porcelain from somewhere. The basin was placed under the porch, and soon there was a storm.

After the rain stopped, the porcelain basin was filled with water.His Highness moved the porcelain basin to the window of his bedroom.After a few days, when the old man "passed by", he took a casual look and saw a few tadpoles inside. "

"Tadpoles? Your Highness caught them by himself?" Gu Mingheng looked at Lu Chengning who was studying the pale ink koi, his eyes softened even more.

"Of course! Our Highness is very smart." Zheng Ruyuan's voice was full of smiles, "The old man has been following him for the past few days, and it was only on the fourth day that he discovered that His Highness killed the tadpoles in a shallow puddle full of mud. Take them back to the sleeping hall, raise the tadpoles for a few days, and then put them back into the lake in the East Palace when they grow up, so that those tadpoles won’t die in the shallow puddles.”

"At that time, the old man knew that although His Highness usually kept silent and paid no attention to others, he was by no means a fool. Later, the old man taught His Highness how to practice calligraphy. Although His Highness didn't cooperate very much, as long as you write it once, you will definitely be able to read it. I will never forget." He said with a smile and shook his head, "Compared to the old man's grandsons who are like wild monkeys, Your Highness is really so worry-free."

Gu Mingheng didn't answer, but stood up, bowed down and saluted very solemnly, "On behalf of His Royal Highness, the student thanked Master for his teaching." He said this sincerely, not only because he patiently taught Lu Chengning Literacy is also because he was the only one who never gave up on Lu Chengning in his last life until his death.

Everyone in the world thinks that Lu Chengning is stupid, but only this old man is willing to discover another side of Lu Chengning, and he is unwilling to give up.

"I accept this gift." Zheng Ruyuan looked at the young man standing in front of him. He was dressed in light blue and fine clothes, but he had a calm taste. He was still young but already elegant.

I could feel the gratitude from his heart, so I didn't shirk it, stood up and helped him up, and said earnestly, "Your Highness is not stupid, but it is still very difficult to make His Highness understand the world.

Although His Highness is small, he can clearly distinguish who is good to him.So he doesn't reject the old man, and also likes you very much.However, the old man can only play the role of assisting from the sidelines. You still need to teach His Highness many things personally, and he trusts you. "

Seeing Gu Mingheng nodding, Zheng Ruyuan sighed, "Nowadays, there are conflicts between the forces in the court, those who support His Highness, those who oppose His Highness, and the neutral factions are so complicated. Every family wants to earn a place in the vortex of power, and the road that His Highness will take in the future Destined to be bumpy.

Fortunately, His Highness is still nine years old, and we still have six years to plan and prepare. "The crown prince was crowned at the age of 15, and he was about to start participating in politics.

His wrinkled face showed a dignified expression, a little worried.It is not so easy for Lu Chengning to secure the position of the crown prince.

When he came out of Xiuxinzhai, Lu Chengning had a porcelain plate with koi in his arms.When he left, he didn't let go of it, and in the end Zheng Ruyuan saw that he liked it and asked him to take it back.

"Ah Ning, would you like Ah Heng to help you?" Gu Mingheng stopped, pointed at the things Lu Chengning was holding in his arms, coaxing.

Lu Chengning looked at Gu Mingheng, and then at the porcelain plate in his arms, his eyes struggled a bit.

Gu Mingheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes, he just wanted to tease Aning, you know, no matter what is in his hands, it will never be touched by others.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Chengning slowly let go of the porcelain plate and handed it to Gu Mingheng, with a pitiful look of being bullied, as if as long as Gu Mingheng picked it up, he would be able to cry straight out of his mouth.

"Okay, okay, Ah Ning takes it by herself, Ah Heng doesn't want it." Gu Mingheng said hurriedly, feeling guilty when he saw his eyes.

Lu Chengning abruptly withdrew his hands and hugged the porcelain plate tightly, tilted his head and looked at him, as if asking if I really don't need to give it to you?

"Well, it's Aning's." Gu Mingheng nodded, and then led him to the bedroom.

Passing by the steps in front of the hall, I saw Madam Wu still kneeling there, and Ah Zheng standing beside her.

Gu Mingheng smiled mockingly, did he want to wait for Aning to come back and let him see it?So the footsteps walking towards the hall paused, turned around and walked towards Madam Wu's position.

Being led by him, Lu Chengning looked back at the door of the bedroom not far away in a daze. He didn't quite understand why he didn't go in. Could it be that he walked by the wrong place and wasn't there a place to play the piano?As a result, Lu Chengning's expression became even more puzzled.

"Meet His Royal Highness, Crown Princess." Ah Zheng bowed and bowed when he saw the two of them coming.He went back to the East Palace in one step before, and after telling Gu Mingheng's words to Wu Mama, she insisted on kneeling and refused to go back.Ah Zheng understood what she was thinking, and didn't try to persuade her any further, just stood aside and waited for the young master to come back.

Some people always take themselves too seriously, and they can't recognize the reality until the end.

Grandma Wu's lips were a little chapped. After kneeling for so long, although she quietly ate food to satisfy her hunger, she was not hungry, but she still felt very uncomfortable.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she saluted tremblingly, "My maidservant pays homage to His Royal Highness, Princess Princess, I wonder if His Highness is well today?" As she spoke, her voice was slightly aggrieved.

When Gu Mingheng heard this, he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and then he calmed down again.He looked at Lu Chengning, wanting to see his reaction.

Lu Chengning looked at Nanny Wu who was kneeling on the ground, thought for a while, took Gu Mingheng's hand and walked towards the bedroom, ignoring Nanny Wu's voice behind him.

A Zheng looked at her hoarse voice, and said in a low voice, "Mother, go back, the princess is kind-hearted, as long as the mother knows her mistake, she will definitely not make things difficult for you in the future." He said to the two guarding the corridor The famous palace attendant beckoned, "Please send Madam Wu back to her residence." After speaking, he left.

In the dormitory, Lu Chengning put the bowl he brought back on the shelf, and then quickly ran to "Hanzhang", watching Gu Mingheng pointing at the strings with longing eyes.

"Just remember what Ah Heng said before going out to play the piano for Ah Ning?" Gu Mingheng led him to sit on the piano bench, his voice full of laughter.After thinking about it, he asked again, "Can Ah-Ning tell Ah-Heng why she ignored Nanny Wu?"

Lu Chengning put his hands on the strings and played the melody that Gu Mingheng taught him bit by bit. Just when Gu Mingheng thought he would not answer himself, he suddenly said, "I made a mistake, and I will be punished."

After speaking, she looked up at Gu Mingheng, reached out and put his hand on the strings, "Qin, Ah Ning, listen."
