The sound of leakage in the palace wall came from afar, it was already two watches in the night, Wei Zifu tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep, and the words that Liu Che said during the day still echoed in his ears.

"Queen, although you are the mother of the crown prince, you still know very little about your son! During your illness, the prince went to the Jiaofang Palace every day to serve the illness, don't you know why? ”

“… There are many young and beautiful maids in the Jiaofang Palace, and according to the children's meeting, they will go every day! ”

"Yes or no, this matter is not a bad thing, the ancients had a saying, 'color eating sex also', according to my son is the prince of the Han Dynasty, the beauty of the world is all called to come, as long as he likes it, I am happy to see it!"

"It is said that my son went to serve the sick every day, why did he come to His Majesty but became greedy for beauty?" Wei Zifu couldn't help but ponder in his heart, and suddenly a thought jumped out, "Could it be... Could it be that someone said something in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty would act like this? ”

Thinking of this, Wei Zifu couldn't help but sit up with the quilt in his arms. The night was dark, and everywhere in sight was obscure, and Wei Zifu's heart seemed to be pressed against a boulder, heavy and heavy, making her breathless.

----

"Mother, why are you here?" In the womb, Liu heard the news, and hurriedly came out to support his mother.

Wei Zifu smiled slightly, held Liu Ju's hand and said, "Let's go in and talk about it!" ”

After the mother and son sat down in the inner hall, Liu asked respectfully, "Queen Mother, what happened?" ”

Wei Zifu sighed and said, "According to your son, yesterday your father issued an order to increase the number of maids to your palace to as many as 200. ”

"Father and emperor added maids to the palace of his sons?" Liu was puzzled, "There are enough maids in the palace, why did my father suddenly add so many people?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed between Wei Zifu's eyebrows, and he said with a wry smile: "Your father heard that you served your mother every day some time ago, but you came for the young and beautiful maid in the Jiaofang Palace..."

Liu Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, "Such a ridiculous statement, does my father also believe it?" ”

"If your father doesn't believe it, how can he order to add maidservants to your palace?" Wei Zifu said, "According to my son, the queen mother thought about this matter, there must be someone stirring up trouble in it, and you have to find an opportunity to explain it clearly in front of your father in the next few days." ”

"The queen mother..."Liu said with a difficult face, "There is no need to disturb the father and emperor Qingxiu for such a trivial matter!" ”

"According to the law!" Wei Zifu shook his head and said: "Although this matter is small, but after all, the three of them have become tigers, if there are more similar things in the future, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

Liu Ju pondered for a moment and said: "Queen Mother, the sons think that the Qing is self-purifying, if the sons explain to their father for such a fragrant matter, I am afraid that the description will become darker and darker." And the son and the father and son have been father and son for more than 30 years, how can the son not know that the son is the father and the emperor? Even if the father misunderstands the son, the son believes that as long as time passes, the father will definitely understand the reason! ”

Wei Zifu's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said slowly: "Since you are so insistent on it, the queen mother is not reluctant, I hope that your father can figure out the reason as you said, and it will be good if you can figure out the reason in time." ”

"Thank you to the queen mother, the son believes in the emperor!" Liu Che looked at his mother with a determined look.

Wei Zifu bowed slightly, sighed in his heart, and looked at his son silently.

----

With the sporadic light snow falling, the pace of the harsh winter is getting closer and closer, after a few days of light snow, the heavy snow has come as scheduled, large snowflakes fall from the sky, but one night's effort, the world will be rendered into a white expanse.

"Father, father..." A soft little hand patted Liu Che's face, "Hurry up and build a snowman!" ”

The immature voice sounded in his ears, Liu Che didn't need to open his eyes to know who was disturbing his dreams in the morning, Liu Che laughed secretly in his heart, and deliberately pretended to be asleep and ignored it. Who expected that he would regret it soon, it turned out that the voice saw that he had shouted for a long time and did not respond, so he reached out and began to pluck his beard, "Ouch! Liu Che opened his eyes in pain, and instead of being angry, he took the little man in front of him into his arms, and said dotingly: "Fuling, why did you pull out your father's beard again?" ”

Hearing the voice, Zhao Yan hurriedly lowered her body and stepped forward to ask for sin: "It's all because the concubine is not strict in discipline, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" After that, he said angrily to Liu Fuling: "Fuling, how can you pull out your father's dragon beard, and don't hurry up to ask your father for guilt!" ”

"Whoa! It doesn't matter! Liu Che waved his hand and smiled at Zhao Yan: "This kid is very clever, seeing that I don't want him, I came to pluck my beard, and I can only answer him!" ”

"Giggles!" Liu Fuling covered his mouth and smiled, "Father and Emperor accompany his sons to build snowmen!" ”

"Good! Good! Liu Che replied repeatedly, his eyes were full of love, and Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "Your Majesty is too used to Fuling!" ”

"This child is really similar to when I was a child!" Liu Che got up while being served by Zhao Yan, and said: "I like it in my heart, I can't get used to it!" ”

The snow outside is still fluttering, but it is much smaller than before, and a thick layer of snow has already accumulated on the ground, and it creaks when you go up, "Your Majesty has a lot of snow outside, you and Your Highness should be slower!" The little yellow door who was waiting beside him often followed with concern, not leaving an inch.

There are two rows of footprints on the snow, one large and one small, one deep and one shallow, extending into the distance. Under the thick layer of snow under the branches, the two figures were very affectionate, only to see the little figure in the red cloak 'giggle' and laugh according to the bright yellow figure, and after a while, a white and fat snow doll was piled up, and the little red man stomped his hands and feet, running around happily.

"Fuling, it's cold outside, come in with your father!" Zhao Yan stood under the porch in a crimson velvet cloak, and beckoned to her son with a smile on her face.

"Father, my mother called me, let's go back!" The villain discussed with Liu Che seriously, Liu Che looked at Liu Fuling's crystal little face and couldn't help but pinch it gently, and said dotingly: "Okay! With that, he took the little man's hand and walked down the porch step by step.

Back under the corridor, the cloak was already full of snowflakes, Xiaohuangmen Chang Rong hurriedly stepped forward to untie the cloak for Liu Che, and Zhao Yan was busy patting the snowflakes on Liu Fuling's body and carrying him back to the inner hall.

The inner hall was blazing with charcoal, warm as spring, and Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Fuling, I had fun with your father this time!" ”

Liu Fuling chuckled at Liu Che and said, "I'm going to go out tomorrow and ask my father to build a bigger snowman for Fuling!" ”

"Good! Good! Liu Che looked at his little son with only love in his eyes, hugged him and responded, "Tomorrow, my father will build you ten big snowmen hahaha!" ”

"Ten snowmen!" Liu Fuling was very happy when he heard this, clapped his little hands and laughed: "Father is so good!" Father is so good! ”

Looking at the excited appearance of her young son, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh, and said angrily: "It's snowing outside, Fuling, don't freeze your father!" ”

Before Zhao Yan's words fell, Liu Che felt an itch in his throat, and couldn't help coughing a few times at the moment, Zhao Yan said nervously when he saw this: "Your Majesty, didn't you go out and get cold just now?" ”

"With this little cold, can I still freeze?" Liu Che cleared his throat and smiled, "It's okay! Just play with Fring, and pass on the breakfast! ”

"Your Majesty, let's send the imperial doctor over to take a look!" Zhao Yan said uneasily.

"Oh, it's okay!" Liu Che stopped, "I haven't been so useless!" ”

Zhao Yan saw that Liu Che insisted on not passing on the imperial doctor, so he gave up immediately, who expected that in the evening, Liu Che's cough became more and more serious, and he felt uncomfortable, Zhao Yan did not dare to delay when he saw this situation, and hurriedly passed the imperial doctor into the Feiyu Palace.

"Your Majesty's pulse is heavy and sluggish, it should be caused by the cold, but fortunately, it is not serious." The imperial doctor took Liu Che's pulse and said to Zhao Yan, "Madam, the lower official immediately prescribes medicine, decoction three bowls of water into one bowl of water according to the medicine, and give it to Your Majesty three times a day, Your Majesty will be healthy as usual in a few days!" ”

"Good! Hongu write it down! Zhao Yan nodded. After the medicine was decocted and given to Liu Che, Zhao Yan lowered her head and blamed herself: "Your Majesty, they are all concubines, if it weren't for Fuling to build a snowman, how could Your Majesty suffer from the cold?" The concubine has no way to discipline herself, please punish your majesty! ”

"Ahem... Cough! Liu Che coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "It's me who wants to accompany Fuling to build a snowman, what is Yan'er's crime?" ”

"Your Majesty..."Zhao Yan leaned up when she heard this, and said softly: "Your Majesty is cold, Yan'er is really guilty in her heart!" Although His Majesty does not punish Yan'er, Yan'er... Yan'er..."After saying that, she sobbed, and provoked Liu Che to caress and say: "Yan'er doesn't have to be sad, can't I just drink a few days of medicine?" ”

"Hmm... Hmm" Zhao Yan nodded lightly, wiped her tears, and said: "The concubine only wishes that Your Majesty will always be healthy, even if you have to live a few years as a concubine, the concubine will be willing!" ”

Liu Che smiled and patted Zhao Yan and said, "Your heart knows, go and see Fuling!" I fell asleep first! ”

"No!" Zhao Yan replied softly, then carefully served Liu Che to sleep, moved the candle behind the screen, and instructed the palace people on duty to retreat.

A burst of drowsiness hit, and Liu Che soon fell asleep, "Father! Father! A familiar voice came from afar, looking around, Liu Che thought to himself: "Where is this?" ”

"Father! Father! The voice came from far and near, and a figure jumped into view, only to see his face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, running happily from a distance, "According to the son! Liu Che couldn't help shouting.

"Father, come and build a snowman with me!" The little boy squatted on the ground, gathered a large pile of snow, and after a while, the body of a snowman appeared, "Father, hurry! The young man urged, picked up a pile of snow again, rolled out a round ball on the ground, put it on the snowman's body, and said with a smile: "Father, look! ”

Liu Che looked in the direction of the young man's finger, and saw a white and fat snowman standing in front of him, but this snowman only had a nose and mouth on his face but no eyes, Liu Che couldn't help but smile and asked: "According to the son, why does this snowman have no eyes?" ”

The young man's originally cheerful expression gradually became sad when he heard this, and his body became bigger and bigger, "Father, do you still see evidence in your eyes now?" With that, the gradually larger figure walked into the vast snow, gradually disappeared, and never looked back.

"According to the law!" Liu Che looked at the distant back and shouted, suddenly woke up, looking at the low-hanging curtain in the candle shadow, Liu Che let out a long breath, "It turned out to be a dream!" ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The palace man who heard the movement inside hurriedly carried the lamp and ran over, "I'm fine!" Liu Che slowly closed his eyes and said, "You all go down!" ”

"No!" Seeing this, the palace people didn't dare to be disturbed, and quickly tiptoed back, and the room was dark again, but Liu Che didn't feel sleepy, and the eyeless snowman in the dream resurfaced in front of him again.

"Father, do you still see evidence in your eyes now?" The young man's complaining expression made Liu Che's heart tremble, it was the son he had been waiting for for many years, and it was the eldest son of the emperor who had been pinned on by him! But now that the father and son are estranged and drifting apart, how can these changes not make him feel melancholy and sigh?

At that time, their father and son also had a close and intimate time, they hunted and rode horses together, built snowmen and had snowball fights together, he also took him into his arms and became a treasure, instructed him to cultivate famous teachers carefully, established Bowangyuan for him to recruit talents, and took him on a tour to learn government affairs...

But since when did their relationship become so cold and distant? Is it after Wei Huo's two great simas passed away one after another? Or did his eldest son ask for a retrial of the old case? Or did he have a young son, Fring? ....thoughts are chaotic and chaotic, the past is like a dense fog mixed with abrupt memories, with a trance of thoughts, Liu Che fell asleep in the deep night.

----

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, the sun reflected a dazzling light in the snow, and everything in the hall seemed to be crossed with a layer of luster, bright and vibrant.

Liu Che slightly blocked the light in front of him with his hand, and was about to get up, when Zhao Yan had already walked over and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you awake?" ”

"Ahem... cough..."Liu Che coughed lightly a few times, Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Che sit up, stroked him behind his back a few times, and then took the medicinal soup and said in a good voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicinal soup!" ”

"Good!" Liu Che replied slowly. After taking the medicinal soup, Zhao Yan carefully waited for Liu Che to get up, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has prepared a porridge and side dishes for breakfast, and this will be served." ”

Liu Che nodded approvingly and said, "It's still thoughtful!" ”

Zhao Yan replied with a smile: "Your Majesty's false praise, it's all about the concubine's doing!" ”

Liu Che bowed slightly, and suddenly said: "You pass on my message, let the prince come to see me!" ”

"Prince?" Zhao Yan was stunned, and a smile suddenly condensed on her lips.

"Hmm...," Liu Che said slowly, "I'm not feeling well, shouldn't the prince come over to serve the sick?" ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Zhao Yan hurriedly covered up her gaffe and said softly: "The concubine will let people go to the palace to pass the decree!" ”

----

"Your Majesty's dictation, the holy bow is uncomfortable with the cold, and summons the prince to the Flying Feather Hall to meet him!" After stepping into the palace, Xiaohuangmen Changrong carefully observed all the way, until he saw the prince Liu Zhifang and saluted and preached.

When Liu heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and then he said in a low voice: "This prince knows, and then he will go." ”

"No!" Chang Rong responded, bowed his head and left.

When he entered the Flying Feather Palace, Liu Che saw that Liu Ju did not come with Chang Rong, and his heart was puzzled, and he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see the prince?" ”

Chang Rong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... Prince, the prince said that he would come later..."

"And then?" Liu Che's face sank, and he said unhappily: "As a son of man, when he hears that his relatives are unwell, he only hates that he can't replace him, but now that he is uncomfortable when he hears that I am not comfortable, the prince is still delaying his arrival, and there is really no filial piety at all!" ”

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince... Prince..."Chang Rong muttered, bowing his head and stopping.

Seeing this, Liu Che became more and more displeased, and said sharply: "Say! What else is the prince doing? ”

Chang Rong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the little slave doesn't dare to say it!" ”

Liu Che's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and he immediately shouted: "I ordered you to say!" Say it! ”

"Your Majesty..."Chang Rong said in a hurry, "The little slave went to deliver the decree and informed the prince that His Majesty was uncomfortable, and the prince was happy at the moment, but it was only because of the presence of the little slave that he was... I just covered it up..."

"Rebel! Unfilial son! Liu Cheqi's forehead was exposed, his chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't help coughing and scolding, "Cough... Cough... What a rebel! ”

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Zhao Yan on the side couldn't help but caress Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Your Majesty is angry! He presented the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea slowly!" ”

Liu Che shook his hand and waved the teacup to the ground, and said angrily: "I don't drink it!" ”

With a "pop", the tea cup smashed on the ground, Chang Rong lay on the ground and didn't dare to gasp, Zhao Yan saw a mess in front of her, and a light smile couldn't help but float on her lips.
