"Yes."
Cen Ying took the order and quickly returned with two lanterns.
It is the pattern of this year's zodiac ox, as well as the pattern of Xiao Luoan's zodiac and horse.
Xiao Luoan took the lantern with the cow pattern and handed the other lantern back to Cen Ying's hand, "Let's give it to you."
"Thank you, Master." Cen Ying thanked him, carried his lantern and looked at it carefully.
The lanterns are made very exquisitely, vividly and have a charm.
Cen Ying looked at the lantern emitting warm yellow light, with a gentle expression. She obviously liked her very much, and even smiled with her lips.
"Do you like this very much?" Xiao Luoan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Cen Ying did not avoid it and answered very simply, "I like it very much."
"Then..." Xiao Luo settled down, "Do you like the lanterns or the style of this horse?"
"Everyone likes it." Cen Ying replied with a smile.
"Then..." Xiao Luoan paused again, "Why do you like the horse's pattern? What's the statement?"
"The master's zodiac sign is a horse." Cen Ying replied with a smile.
Xiao Luoan's heartbeat was half a beat. After a brief moment of being stunned, even his eyes looked at Cen Ying became more gentle. "It's the same as my father's zodiac sign, so I like it." Cen Ying added.
Xiao Luoan, "..."
Is this the reason why you insisted on letting me pretend to be your father when you were hiding your whereabouts?
Xiao Luoan showed embarrassment, coughed lightly, his voice a little hoarse, "Is there anything else?"
"Sure." Cen Ying continued, "This horse can carry people to gallop between the world, which is unrestrained and elegant in ordinary things."
"Yes." Xiao Luoan nodded.
Arbitrary and freedom.
This is something he likes too, but these things have nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Cen Ying...
When I first met Cen Ying, her face was full of freedom and freedom, and she looked like a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. People like her had the feeling of being unrestrained and bright that everyone yearned for.
But, Cen Ying's heart seemed to be completely opposite to her appearance and temperament.
Her loyalty can make her give up everything, including her life.
Maybe this is just because of her personality, but her appearance always makes him a little...
Maybe, it's just that he's thinking too much.
Xiao Luoan smiled, "You just like this lantern."
Then, he lowered his eyelids, stopped talking, and leaned on the soft pillow to adjust his breath.
Cen Ying covered Xiao Luoan with the brocade quilt and said, "Thank you, my master."
Then he continued to pick up his lantern to look and appreciate it.
I was still happy in my heart, and there was still a smile on my face, but this smile was less from the heart than before, and more deliberate than before.
Even the hand holding the short bamboo pole of the lantern was unconsciously more forceful.
After a long time, Cen Ying turned slightly and covered up all the obscureness deep in his eyes.
The carriage continued to move forward and soon arrived at the palace gate.
Someone had already been waiting at the palace gate. Seeing that the person coming was Xiao Luoan, he immediately went to the palace.
When we arrived at the inner palace gate, we carried the sedan chair over and sent Xiao Luoan into Chongyang Palace.
The emperor was handling government affairs in Chongyang Hall.
The memorials on the table are like hills. The emperor looked through them one by one with candlelight. According to the severity of the matter involved in the memorial, the number of words to be annotated was determined.
Even if it is an insignificant memorial, the emperor will leave the "read" comments after looking at it.
The candlelight swayed, and the emperor's face turned yellow and dark at this time, and he looked quite energetic.
Ding Dahai, who was standing by, handed a bowl of ginseng soup with great concern, "Your Majesty, the third prince is here."
"Oh?" The emperor paused the movements in his hand, "How is he at this time?"
"The old slave had just reported that the imperial physician had come and treated the third prince, saying that it was basically no serious problem, but the third prince was seriously injured this time and needed to be cared for for a while."
Ding Dahai said, "The imperial physician has rebanded the wound for the third prince and prescribed a nourishing prescription. He also took people to prepare for boiling. I think the imperial physician has a skillful medical skills, and the third prince will get better soon."
"Yes." The emperor nodded, "My son will get better naturally."
Then he raised his hand, "Tell him to come in."
"Yes." Ding Dahai took the order and quickly took Xiao Luoan to the hall.
Xiao Luoan stepped forward slowly and when he came to the emperor, he saluted with integrity, "Son of mine, please see the father."
"This trip made my father worried. My son was incompetent. Please punish me!"
As he spoke, Xiao Luoan gave a heavy gift.
While the action, the wound that had just been bandaged was involved, and a burst of pain immediately came, and Xiao Luoan could even feel blood seeping out.
But Xiao Luoan did not show any of his face, but his already pale face immediately lost a little blood, his lips trembled slightly, and his forehead was wet.
The emperor felt relieved when he saw this.
This is what his ideal qualified son should be.
Not being spoiled, knowing how to behave, judging the situation, and more importantly, being able to endure it.
In the past, I was not paid attention to by him, but could only rely on Xiao Luohe when he survived. Now, the same is true when he was cultivated by him.
This is the awareness and behavior that people who are restricted by their background should have. Only in this way can they have the ability to fight against all other unfairness.
"Get up." The emperor raised his hand and "Give him a seat."
Xiao Luoan was happy and frightened, "Thank you, Father."
When Ding Dahai helped him sit down, he only sat one-third of the seat, and his body was straight. "Whether you are in Meiling's trip or the affairs of Wen and Cui's families, it is my idea. You are just starting out and you can find out the situation in Meiling and get out of your way. You are very good at finding out the situation in Meiling and being able to escape unscathed."
The emperor was quite sure of Xiao Luoan's trip. "Thank you for your understanding. My father praised me. My son is ashamed of me." Xiao Luoan said, "I hope my father will not despise me for being stupid. I will teach me more. My son is happy." "You are my son. I naturally value it very much, and I will teach you carefully." The emperor smiled, "But you are seriously injured now. Please recover from this period of time. I have already put people in the Cuihua Palace. It is far away from the harem. It is very quiet and suitable for rest."
"In addition, I have arranged for Mei Hanlin Academy, Cai Jijiu, and others to arrange for you to learn in the future. After your injury heals, you can follow them and study intently..."
The emperor's words surprised and happy Xiao Luoan.
What was shocked was that the emperor finally wanted to train him.
I am happy that the emperor actually wanted to train him.
But after the surprise, Xiao Luoan hurriedly stood up, "Thank you, my father. I must devote myself to studying, cultivate myself and not let my father down!"
"It's just that although my son needs to be recuperated, I don't have to take care of myself, nor do I need to be bedridden for a long time. My son is brave enough to ask my father for the kindness. I don't have to wait until my son is completely healed. I can start studying with a few adults tomorrow!"
Xiao Luoan's move is, first, to express his opinion, and second, to sincerely hope to start learning something as soon as possible.
He is already seventeen years old this year.
In the past, Xiao Luochen and Xiao Luohe were enlightened at the age of five, read hundreds of articles at the age of ten, and began to learn and deal with matters at the age of fourteen.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Although he, like the two of them, went to school every day, the Master was obviously in favor of one and the other. Many times he could not answer questions and answer questions, so he could only try "read the book a hundred times and see its meaning", and studied hard, but couldn't understand the key points.
And those affairs related to the court, even ordinary things that are used to deal with people, have nothing to do with him.
Learning these things is a must-have for becoming a crown prince and even a king of a country in the future.
Seventeen years old, it was already a little late, and he didn't want to waste any extra time.
The emperor smiled, "I understand what you mean, then according to what you said, let's start tomorrow, but I will tell them to do what they can, and your body is still the most important thing right now." "Yes, Father, my son, remember!" Xiao Luoan gave a big gift again. "In addition, there is another thing." The emperor said, "You are over 17 years old this year. An ordinary 17-year-old man has already been married, but you have never even discussed your marriage. I told the queen that during this period, you can choose a few women with suitable family backgrounds and ages for you. You can choose from them and decide one to get married as soon as possible."
The so-called starting a family and starting a business has always been to get married first and then start a business. For men, with family background, the more responsibility they have, the more mature they are.
Let's come back, Xiao Luoan is not from a high background and has no power behind him. The first person among the civil servants and the pure and simple people can not only become Xiao Luoan's right-hand man, but also demonstrate his attitude at this time. It can be said that he can kill two birds with one stone.
The emperor thought carefully, and Xiao Luoan thanked him again, "Thank you for your concern for your father and mother. Marriage events have always been the orders of your parents and matchmakers. I will listen to your father and mother."
"You are sensible and sensible. I understand in my heart, and naturally I will not let you suffer any loss. You can only rest assured."
The emperor smiled, "Just talking about your marriage, I suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College were going to prepare for the examination. I always feel that although the scientific examination system is strict now, it has many disadvantages. You have thought about it these days to see if you have any ideas. When you think of it, come and tell me."
"Yes." Xiao Luoan responded, "My son must devote himself to studying this matter."
"Yes." The emperor nodded, "It's not too early today, and you are in pain again. Go back and rest early."
"Yes, my son is leaving." Xiao Luoan bowed and retreated, followed the people arranged by Ding Dahai to go to Cuihua Palace.
After Xiao Luoan left, the emperor picked up the bowl of ginseng soup that had been hanging.
Seeing this, Ding Dahai hurriedly walked up to him, "This bowl of ginseng soup is a little cold. I'll change the emperor to a bowl of hot."
"No need." The emperor refused, holding a spoon and scooping the yellowed ginseng soup into his mouth, and said, "The dragons in the palace are quite hot, so drinking a bowl of cooler ginseng soup at this time makes it easy to drink."
As he spoke, the emperor also drank the bowl of ginseng soup clean, and even felt a little unsatisfied.
Ding Dahai smiled, "So, this is the most important thing."
The most important thing is the most important thing?
The emperor's mind moved slightly, and after a moment he let out a hearty laugh, "No, the word "appropriate" is the most rare."
Many times, many things are not how good one thing is or how capable a person is, but that coincidence he must be at that time.
The so-called right time, place, and people are also the word "unable to escape".
It was like this at this moment...
The emperor smiled slightly and his eyes fell on the memorials piled on the table.
The memorial is like a mountain, which means that the government affairs are like a mountain at this time, and his responsibility as a king is like a mountain.
I just hope that the heir he is optimistic about can live up to his trust.
However, after saying this, he always sees people the most accurately. How could he read it wrong this time?
Everything will come according to his plan.
The emperor pinched his eyebrows, rubbed his eyes, and then sat on the dragon throne again and read the next memorial.
The third prince Xiao Luoan never died. He was lucky enough to save his life and was seriously injured and returned to the capital. That night, the news spread from the palace to the entire capital.
In the morning court after the Lantern Festival, the emperor only gave two brief sentences on this.
Remaining his mission and escaping by chance.
The first half of the sentence is an recognition of Xiao Luoan's character and ability to do things.
The second half of the sentence is to completely implement Xiao Luochen's crime of harming his brothers and sisters, and put an end to the end.
A discerning person immediately understood the meaning, and he couldn't help but sigh on his face that the third prince was protected by the emperor, and the auspicious person had his own appearance, but he sighed for a long time in secret.
Sighing that the emperor's methods were amazing and determined.
I can do this so well that everyone can't get any handle, and I also deeply understand the meaning of the word "sacrifice". I do things decisively and do not drag it out at all.
I have to say that those who can ascend to that throne and sit in that position are not only about luck, but also about strength.
Strength that others cannot possess.
Imperial power cannot be challenged at any time, and the word loyalty must always be used for those in power.
Betting on something is no different from gambling, don't try it easily...
Everyone has different thoughts, but on the surface, he is calm and does things as usual.
It seems that something has never happened.
Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan naturally received the news. The two of them were not surprised, as if everything was reasonable.
But Xia Mingyue still frowned.
Because of two things.
One thing is that Xia Yunji has been addicted to learning to make various foods during this period. In addition to some matters that must be handled in daily life, he will dive into the kitchen as soon as he returns home and keeps learning and trying.
In theory, it is a good thing for some people to be interested in cooking and study very steadily, and Xia Mingyue is also willing to teach, especially her younger brother, so she naturally teaches more attentively.
However, Xia Yunji learned very carefully, and he was tireless and kept trying, but everything he tried was taken out for Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan to try.
Trying something like this...
It's a strong job and it's quite risky. (This chapter ends)
