Inside the study.

Qing Yan looked left and right, but couldn't find his father, his eyes returned to Chu Heng who was standing in front of the imperial case.

Chu Heng has hugged this dumpling several times, but they are all in the identity of Lishan Dongjun Ji Wuyue. Seriously speaking, this is the first time that "Chu Heng" and Qing Yan have met.

He watched Dabai Tuanzi stepping across the threshold with his short legs and jolting in.

Chu Heng turned around and put the pen away, Qingyan had already walked in front of him, raised his head and opened his round black eyes, staring at him without blinking.

There was a slight smile on Chu Heng's face, and he looked down at him.

Qingyan didn't close the door when he walked in. The wind was tight in the snowy weather. The cotton felt curtain hung on the door lintel blocked the cold air from the cold wind, but it was still sunken in by the wind, and the half-open door was in the It swayed twice in the wind, and suddenly it closed heavily with a "bang".

Dabai Tuanzi was taken aback, subconsciously took two steps forward, leaned on Chu Heng's lap, and grabbed his shirt with one hand.

Chu Heng smiled, reached out and rubbed his head to comfort him.

Tuanzi obviously just came back from the outside, and he was still wearing a thick little cloak. Now that he entered the room, the ground dragon and the smoked cage were roasting, and it was a bit hot.

There were only the two of them in the study, Chu Heng didn't call the maid from the East Palace to come in to serve him, he bent down to pick up the Dabai dumpling, carried him to the couch beside him, and untied the tie of his cloak himself.

Qingyan still held onto Chu Heng's shirt with one hand, touched his head with the other hand, stared at Chu Heng in confusion for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you Uncle Dongjun?"

Chu Heng's hands trembled, and he raised his eyes subconsciously to look at Qingyan.The child's heart is pure, and his eyes are exceptionally clear, like a clear spring, reflecting Chu Heng's slightly astonished face.

But Qingyan didn't realize that he had asked an important secret. Seeing that Chu Heng didn't answer, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then continued with some confusion: "Uncle Dongjun can also hug me and rub my head. , except for the father, no one else will, um, and..."

There was another most important reason, but Qing Yan didn't know what to say, so in the end he could only keep staring at Chu Heng's face with his round dark eyes.

Chu Heng came back to his senses, and after a false alarm, he immediately calmed down again.

There is a folk saying that "a humble name is easy to support", but princes and princesses have a high status, no matter how young they are, it is not good to take an indecent baby name, which is against royal dignity.Therefore, there is an unwritten practice in the palace. Before the princes and princesses formally enter school, they meet daily, and the foreign ministers do not have to pay big respects, lest the children be too young to bear the extravagance and shorten their lifespan.But Qingyan is the prince of Dayin who was formally registered by the emperor to pay homage to the heaven and earth and pay homage to the Taimiao. The future lord of Kyushu, no matter how young he is, others have to respect him, and he dare not treat him like an ordinary child. When he pretends to be himself in front of him, he is also humble.Except for his father, no one dared to rub his head lightly on weekdays.

Dongjun is the second.

The child has no reason to rely on, but relying on his subconscious feeling, he feels that the person in front of him is very close, and connects Chu Heng and Dong Jun in a crooked manner.

Looking at Tuanzi's clear eyes, Chu Heng felt a little guilty about deceiving the child. He reached out and rubbed his head again, and said with a smile, "Is there anyone like you who recognizes people by rubbing their heads? Of course I am not."

Qing Yan understood Chu Heng's denial, nodded and believed it, and asked innocently, "Then who are you?"

Chu Heng thought for a while and said, "I am Dong Jun's junior."

Qingyan's eyes lit up immediately, she pulled Chu Heng's sleeve and moved forward, getting closer to him, and asked in a childlike voice: "Then do you know what Uncle Dongjun looks like? Uncle Dongjun is wearing Don't show me the hat, but he's so good-looking, isn't he as good-looking as you?"

"..." Looking at Tuanzi's innocent and lovely face, Chu Heng couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Years later, it was still the same afternoon, in the mid-autumn afternoon when the sun was thin, Qingyan took a thin blanket and walked out of the hall.

Chu Heng was reclining on the soft couch, half asleep and half awake, when he felt someone approaching, he raised his eyes and saw Qing Yan who was bending over to cover him with a quilt.

He squinted his eyes and looked at it. From the 18th year of Xuanxi to the [-]th year of Xuanxi, ten years was enough to make a soft and glutinous big white dumpling grow into a clear and bright flying boy.

Chu Heng looked at the heir apparent of the empire in front of him, and recalled many impressive past events in a daze.

Seeing him open his eyes, Qingyan paused his movements slightly, "Did you disturb your father?"

Chu Heng shook his head, stood up and waved to him, signaling him to sit down on the soft stool beside the couch.

What Chu Heng recalled was the scene of their "first meeting" in the Hall of Jingcheng. After all these years, he was still curious. When he talked about the incident at that time, he asked Qing Yan how he looked at him when he was still a dumpling. He recognized himself as Ji Wuyue.

Those important memories of "Uncle Dongjun" in childhood have not been forgotten as he grows up. The young man thought for a moment, then shook his head, looked at Chu Heng and said seriously: "Actually, Erchen didn't really recognize him. .”

Chu Heng was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Qingyan thought for a while, and said: "Maybe it's because the son met my father for the first time, when Lu met Helando assassinated him. Since then, my father has given me an absolute sense of security. No matter who you are, This feeling has not changed whether I appear in the form of a Mahayana realm or not. Whether it is my cousin or other uncles and brothers, they have never given me this kind of dependence that "as long as I am here, I can be absolutely at ease". When I grow up, there will only be you and my father."

Qingyan said: "At that time, I saw you in Jingcheng Hall. Even though you were not Dongjun's appearance, I felt very at ease. You hugged me and rubbed my hair like Dongjun at that time. Erchen didn't do that before. I've seen Dongjun's face under the mask, but I think Uncle Dongjun must be very good-looking, so I just asked that in a daze."

Qing Yan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my father lied to me at the time."

Chu Heng also laughed when he heard the words: "I did it to hide the truth from your father."

When the young man heard the word "Father Emperor", the expression on his face was unnatural for a moment.

Helplessness appeared in Chu Heng's eyes, he stroked his hair, and continued: "At that time, I had a problem with Ji Wuyue's identity because of some old things, and I didn't know how to open this mouth with your father, and, I I'm still a little afraid that he will punish me..."

The last sentence was half-false and half-true, Chu Heng smiled, and said with bent eyes: "Your father is very fierce, the first time he talked to me back then, he said three cold words, I have been remembering Now."

Qing Yan rested his head on Chu Heng's lap, raised his eyes curiously and asked, "Which three words?"

Chu Heng said lightly, "Twenty rods."

Qing Yan: "..."

"He won't." Qing Yan was silent for a while, and whispered awkwardly: "He just said it seriously, he has never hit me like this, so how could he be willing to beat you, father."

"En." Chu Heng nodded without retorting, stroking the young man's hair, lowering his eyes and asking: "So you dare to be angry with him unscrupulously?"

Qing Yan looked away uncomfortably, "I didn't..."

"It's been a few months since I went to Lishan Mountain. As soon as I came back, Eunuch Gao told me that the two of you are fighting again."

Qing Yan didn't respond.

Chu Heng tapped his forehead lightly: "Looking through the history books, I'm afraid I can't find another prince who dares to act willfully and recklessly like you. Who is the prince who is not trembling like walking on thin ice when he comes to you? I have no scruples about having a cold war with the emperor's father."

Qing Yan froze, buried her head on Chu Heng's lap for a while, and finally said sullenly: "Actually, I know that I was wrong, but after the quarrel that day, my father didn't see me, and even the daily greetings were spared. I went to the Hall of Respect and Sincerity three times, but he sent me away. If my father hadn’t come back, the festival last night..."

Qing Yan's voice lowered, trembling slightly: "He ignored me."

This is what Ling Ye heard when he came from the front hall.

……

Time will always inadvertently create many similar coincidences.

On this day in the eighth year of Xuanxi, when Qing Yan, who was still a soft glutinous dumpling, asked Chu Heng "what does Dongjun look like", Ling Ye just walked outside the door, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

The people in the study were at a loss as to what to say after being asked by Tuanzi with a simple sentence. Feeling guilty, they were about to make up something to fool them when the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

Ling Ye came in from the outside, looked up at him with an unpredictable expression, and said meaningfully: "I want to know too."

"..."

Chu Heng didn't pay attention to when Ling Ye came over, and didn't know if Ling Ye heard the most important sentence of "Are you Dong Jun" from Tuanzi? He panicked for a moment and almost bit his tongue.

--------------------

The 18th year of Xuanxi is the last year of the copywriting, and there is a Mid-Autumn Festival episode ([-]) in the next door "Guan Canghai" ([-]) which is about this time, but the episode was written earlier, there was a bug in Chu Heng's identity, and they were already married at that time Tell the world.I think it's outrageous to call her queen mother, and it's even more strange to call her queen father. Finally, I googled various titles, and finally asked Qingyan to call her father Hua.
