The road ahead is long, and the future does not know whether it is light or darkness, and when they came out of the small tea house, the group was a little silent, and the children who were chattering before were also tired at this time, and fell asleep in the arms of several people in the car. Sun Shi was also a little tired, leaning on the carriage and napping, Yang Xianrong and Su Chen tacitly looked at the scenery all the way, even in the south in winter, there is still no lack of green on the roadside, not like the north, in winter, the cold wind is bleak, everywhere is a depression, and there is no life.

Azie was at an active age, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he sat down beside his father and drove with the sheep. Yang Fu gave him a funny look, handed him the reins, and asked, "Will it?" ”

"Simple." Aqi shook the reins in his father's example and smiled triumphantly.

Ah Qi is eleven years old, almost as tall as Yang Xianrong, and looks like both Yang and his dead mother, Lin, but his temperament is a bit like an aunt, bold and active, and willing to try anything new. Ah Qi was frail and sickly when he was a child, and after his mother died, he went back to his hometown with his father, but his body got better, and he followed Xiao Hu to learn boxing and kicking twice a day, and now he has the appearance of a man.

After sitting beside his father for a while, Ah Qi felt bored again, he looked at Sima Tan and Xiao Hu on the left and right sides in front of him, and shouted: "Two brothers, I want to ride a horse, which of you will take me?" ”

Sima Tan looked back at Ah Qi with a smile and said, "You ride too badly, I can't take you." ”

When Xiao Hu heard this, he resigned himself to waiting for two steps, stretched out his hand and dragged him onto the horse, complaining: "I told you to learn to ride a horse, but you didn't do it, and you were greedy to see us riding you." ”

"I learned," Archie argued unconvinced, "wasn't that a fall?" After that, I wanted to learn, but my grandmother didn't agree, so I can't disobey her old man's words, right? ”

Sima Qin shook his head: "Are you such an obedient person?" ”

Ah Qi pursed his lips unconvinced, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and he came up with another idea, "Do you two dare to race horses?" ”

"Then why don't you dare?" Xiao Hu said: "I'm sleepy, and I've wanted to plug it for a long time." ”

Sima Qin turned around and asked Yang Fu, "Master, can we do it?" ”

Yang Fu nodded, agreeing to the requests of several children, but told again: "There is a degree, don't run too far." ”

"Got it, Dad, you're so long-winded." Aqi shouted on Xiao Hu's horse, and waved his hand excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, when Grandmother wakes up, she will not let us play." ”

Sima Qin and Xiao Hu glanced at each other, kicked the horse's belly at the same time, and directed the horse to gallop forward. After running for nearly two miles, the two horses arrived at a lake almost at the same time and stopped, the three of them turned over and dismounted, Xiao Hu picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, and then shouted: "Enjoyable!" ”

"You're slower than Brother Qin." Ah Qi was dissatisfied: "Aren't you a martial artist? Why is the riding so bad? ”

"In this regard, I have always been inferior to the young master." Xiao Hu scratched his head, picked up another stone and threw it at the surface of the lake, and the stone jumped off the surface of the lake, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.

Ah Qi also threw a stone like Xiao Hu, the stone jumped farther away, and finally Sima Tan also threw a stone, but the effect was not as good as those two people, and the stone sank without bouncing much. The three of them played for a while and lay down on the grass by the lake.

"When I return to Luoyang, I won't have such a comfortable life anymore." Sima Qin said: "Reluctantly, although the life here is ordinary, it is interesting, and you don't have to face those life and death, it's good." ”

"Brother, you are the crown prince, how can you think like this? My aunt said that when you become the emperor, you will be able to make all the people live such an easy life. Yang Fu turned over, pulled a grass in his mouth, and pulled another grass and stuffed it in Xiao Hu's nostrils, watching his itchy sneezing, he laughed happily and continued to tease Xiao Hu.

Sima Qin saw that Ah Qi was having fun, and also suppressed Xiao Hu, pulled out a grass and stuffed it into his other nostril, Xiao Hu couldn't move, and kept sneezing while begging for mercy, which made the other two people very happy. After making a fuss for a while, the two of them let Xiao Hu go and lay down on his left and right again.

"When I return to Luoyang, the two of you will enter the palace, and I will never see you again." Aqi felt very reluctant when he thought about it, and several people had been together for a long time, almost getting along day and night. Ah Qi and Sima Qin followed Yang Fu to study Wen together, and Xiao Hu followed Liu Yao to practice martial arts, the three of them are close in age, they play trick-or-treating all day long, and they have already given birth to brotherhood, Liu Yao left with Liu Jian earlier, and the three of them were sentimental in one place, and after a while they separated again, wouldn't it be even more sad?

"What's that? Isn't it over for you to enter the palace with us? Sima Qin said indifferently: "Xiao Hu entered the palace as my companion, but now he is my personal guard, and after returning to the palace, he enters the guard camp, and I still lack a companion, aren't you just right?" ”

As soon as Aqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he immediately sat up and asked again and again, "Really?" Can it really be? ”

"Of course." Sima Qin said with certainty: "Your aunt is the queen, and it is very simple to arrange a companion to read, as long as you ask for the consent of your father and grandmother." ”

Xiao Hu was also excited, he grew up alone since he was a child, and later met Sima Qin, but no matter how good the relationship between the two is, he still has the title of master and servant, even if Sima Qin is deposed as the prince, he doesn't dare to trespass in front of him, in comparison, Aqi is not much younger than him, and his temperament is quite similar, he really wants to be a brother with Aqi. century

"At that time, we will be one writer and one martial artist, and together we will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a generation of masters." Xiao Hu slapped Aqi and said: "You don't want to stay in your house and don't want to come out, no matter how blessed by your parents, you are also a boy, you always have to come out to be alone, you are the eldest son and grandson of Yangfu, you have a great responsibility, it's time to experience." ”

"I'll tell my father later, I'm going to enter the palace." Azzi nodded firmly.

The three of them looked forward to their life after entering the palace together, and even Sima Qin, who was not in a good mood all day, forgot his troubles for the time being and laughed sincerely. After a while, there was a sound of a carriage coming from the front, it was the sheep who came with the carriage, and the three men got up from the ground, patted the dirt on their bodies, turned over on their horses, and ran to the side of the carriage.

When Yang Fu saw the three of them coming, he smiled and asked, "Who won?" ”

"Brother Qin won." Azzi replied first.

Yang Fu smiled and glanced at Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu is very martial, in addition to the kung fu on his body, this riding skill is also one of the best, how can Sima Tan's second-rate horseback riding level win Xiao Hu? This child, who is not very old, has such a heart, indeed, he is going to enter the palace, and everything has to return to the way it used to be. Thinking of this, he looked at Ah Qi with a straight face, and said: "In the future, you can't call the prince Brother Qin, although he has not yet restored the crown prince, but it will be a matter of time. ”

Ah Qi just nodded, but Sima Qin said anxiously: "Master doesn't have to be like this. ”

Yang Fu waved his hand and said: "This is the rule of etiquette, I know that you love your brother, but it is best not to be honest about these things, some things, habits become natural, so you must quickly change this habit." ”

Ah Qi listened to his father's words, and hurriedly bowed to Sima Tan in a dignified manner, and shouted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Sima Qin was a little embarrassed, blushing and saying with some uneasiness: "No need to be polite. ”

"You are the prince, you have to accept some courtesy, you can't say that you can not care about anything if you are out of exile for a while, you have to take out the momentum that should be taken out, otherwise how can you serve the public?" Yang Xianrong got out of the car, and just saw this scene and felt that Yang Fu was extremely reasonable, so he persuaded Sima Qin: "Although you have never seen such a powerful emperor as the first emperor, you have also heard the book, what is the first emperor described there?" What about Emperor Qin and Han Wu? To be a Ming Jun, you must first show momentum to let others respect you and fear you, and then they will believe you, obey you and listen to you. ”

"Mothers teach, children teach." Sima Tan lowered his head slightly and saluted the sheep.

Ah Qi looked at this for a while, looked at that for a while, and suddenly said: "Father, aunt, when we go back to Luoyang, can I follow Qin, I mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace?" His Royal Highness said that he lacked a companion, and Brother Xiao Hu was going to enter the guard camp again, and wanted me to enter the palace to be his companion. ”

"You want to enter the palace?" Yang Fu frowned and glanced at Yang Xian's face.

Yang Xianrong also frowned, considered the words of his speech, and then said: "Aqi, the palace is not as beautiful as you think, your prince brother can't help it, your father and I don't want to ...... much."

"I'm going to enter the palace." Aqi heard the meaning of rejection in Yang Xianrong's words, and shouted anxiously.

The sheep attached the board: "Entering the palace is not a joke. ”

"I know." Ah Qi puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I want to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a generation of Ming monarchs," paused, and added: "Just like Emperor Wu." ”

As soon as these words came out, both Yang Xiang and Yang Xianrong laughed. Yang Xianrong said again: "Then you ask grandmother?" ”

"Grandmother certainly disagrees, I need your help to convince her." Ah Qi raised his face and said with a serious face: "I have already thought about it, I want to enter the palace, you said, the prince's brother entering the palace this time is full of dangers and difficulties, and the most lacking thing around him is his own people, I want to be his own person, I want to help him." ”

Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Qin and Xiao Hu again: "You think the same way?" ”

The two children nodded affirmatively.

Yang Fu said: "This matter is a bit too big, you allow me to discuss it with Aunt Aqi and Grandmother, from my father's point of view, there are pros and cons to this matter, I must weigh it before replying to you, is it okay?" ”

"How many days?" Aqi asked again.

Yang Fu looked at his son helplessly, thought about it, and stretched out three fingers.
