When Emperor Xuan heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Mulan...... If she is as you say, she also has the value of existence, but she is just a woman, and she has lived in Northern Xia for many years, will the remnants of Mulan recognize her and listen to her? She has no hostility towards Northern Xia, but what about the rest of Mulan? What about Qi Muxuan?"

"Qi Muxuan is no longer a concern. ”

Emperor Xuan thought for a while and said: "If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again." Although more than ten years have passed, Mulan's thieves are not dead, and it has always been a hidden danger for Northern Xia. Now that Jiang Liu is Mulan's princess, then this matter is easier to handle, if she still thinks that she is from Northern Xia, and you have so confidence in her, then she should know what she should do?"

Liu Xu's brows frowned slightly, and he said: "Father, in fact, Mulan has been destroyed for more than ten years, and those who wanted to restore the country back then have already recognized the reality in their hearts, but they are just being coerced by some forces, and they have no choice but to do so. As long as someone can take the lead in saying that they will give up the restoration of the country, it will be easy for them to give up, and there is no need to sacrifice superfluously. Jiang Liu has such a role, she can make the remnants of Mulan give up the restoration of the country, and she can also resolve the enmity between the two countries, killing two birds with one stone. It has been more than ten years since Mulan was merged into Northern Xia, and the people of Mulan who were originally left behind have now regarded themselves as Northern Xia people, so there is no need to add such a sum of blood to increase hatred. ”

Emperor Xuan's fingers lightly tapped the table, raised his eyebrows and said: "What the prince said makes sense, but these people are outcast, and I am still a little worried in the end, so good, if these people are willing to submit, I will not blame the past." If they refuse to submit, then they will be completely eradicated. Since Jiang Liu is your person, then you can handle this matter, and I will give you three years!"

"The retainers obeyed. Liu Xu clenched his fists and received the order.

"Go back and rest. Emperor Xuan said, "I shouldn't ask about the relationship between your young husband and wife, but since you are married, you are already someone else's husband, and the crown princess should not be too cold." You have to remember that the current status of the Xie family is carried up by you, and the brother of the crown princess is now the secretary of the military department. ”

"Erchen understands. Liu Xu said, "It's the son's sin to make my father worried." ”

"There are some things that I myself have not yet understood and cannot teach you how to do. Emperor Xuan said, "But the choice is made by yourself, no one has persecuted you, then you should bear all the consequences." This life is still very long, there is still a lot of road ahead of you, how to take each step, you have to start calculating step by step. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, my son has a sense of proportion in his heart. Liu Xu hugged his fists.

"The word "proportion" is wonderful, with proportion, you know how to advance and retreat. When people have feelings, the key is the scale in their hearts, and they must always know which one is the most important!" Emperor Xuan said, "Kneel down." ”

"The retainer retired. ”

Liu Xu retreated, and His Majesty's reaction today was also expected by him, different from the previous decisive emperor, maybe he was old, or maybe it was because he lost two sons and his mother one after another, which made his heart a lot softer than before, and it was also during this time that he was able to feel a little bit of the temperature between father and son.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Xu did not rest immediately, but called Liu Changqing over to check his homework.

Liu Changqing is a self-disciplined child, although his father is not at home, he is still not left behind, which makes Liu Xu very relieved.

These days, Xie Xuan seems to have no hostility towards Liu Changqing, she has become very enthusiastic, no matter what is delicious and fun, the first thing that comes to mind is him, the reward in the palace, and the dedication of the people below, she sent it over as soon as possible, and also sent several beautiful maids who were only two years older than him to his yard one after another, so that outsiders could see that this grandmother was doing a lot of heart.

However, Liu Changqing's mind has always been very clear, and he came to send delicious food and fun to break his perseverance, and to send beautiful maids to make him indulge in women and indulge in lustful dogs and horses.

He accepted all the overtures of the crown princess, but he studied when he should study, and practiced martial arts when he should practice martial arts, which would not affect his planning at all, let alone be lazy because Liu Xu was not there.

The more Liu Changqing worked hard, the more unpleasant Xie Xuan felt in his heart, and the more he felt threatened.

This son is too good, whether it is His Majesty or His Royal Highness, they all like him very much, even if she gives birth to a son-in-law in the future, how can she be his opponent?

"The article is well-written, concise, and a lot of improvement. Liu Xu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "You are much stronger than your father, when I was as old as you, I was still thinking about how to be lazy and how to sneak out to play!"

Liu Changqing touched his nose a little embarrassed, he lowered his eyes and smiled: "My son doesn't want to disappoint my father." ”

Liu Xu touched Liu Changqing's head and asked softly, "Is it because I'm too strict with you on weekdays?"

"It's not. Liu Changqing raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xu and said seriously, "My son also wants to make some achievements, show my father, show my mother, and show those who look down on my son! I don't want to overwhelm them as the son of the world, I will use my strength to impress them!"

"Good guy!" Liu Xu said with a smile, "A man must have such a character, this is my son!"

After a pause, Liu Changqing asked, "Father went out this time, but did he go to see Concubine Jiang?"

"Yes. Liu Xu didn't hide it.

"Is she okay?" asked Liu Changqing.

"Good. ”

"Did she ask me about it?" asked Liu Changqing.

Liu Xu was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said, "This time the situation is a little different, a lot of things have happened. ”

"Has she forgotten about me?" Liu Changqing smiled bitterly, "Yes, if she really cares about me, she won't leave me behind." ”

At this time, the maid reported by the door: "Your Highness, the crown princess is asking to see you outside." ”

"Let her in. Liu Xu restrained the loving look on his face and became such a cold prince.

Xie Xuan entered with a smile and said with a smile: "I have seen His Highness, and the prince is also here!" His Royal Highness can be regarded as back, it must have been hard work along the way, the concubine has boiled ginseng soup, Your Highness has tasted it?"

Without waiting for Liu Xu to answer, she beckoned, only to see two maids entering with ginseng soup and dim sum.

Seeing these two maids, Liu Xu frowned slightly, these two maids are about sixteen or seventeen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and extremely outstanding appearance, and more importantly, the two are seven points similar to Mo Ziyu.

Seeing that Liu Xu was distracted, Xie Xuan didn't feel good in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "Your Highness, for the sake of the concubine's painstaking sake, let's taste it." ”

Liu Xu nodded.

"What are you still doing in a daze?" Xie Xuan said with a smile, "Hurry up and serve His Highness for dinner." ”

Liu Xu retracted his gaze and said to Liu Changqing: "You go and go busy with your own affairs." ”

"Yes, Father, my son is gone. Liu Changqing stepped back respectfully, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Xuan and his two maids coldly, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Liu Xu drank the ginseng soup silently, Xie Xuan's eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "Does Your Highness feel that these two people are like an old man?"

"Really?" Liu Xu asked lightly.

"If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, let them serve Your Highness in the future, these two people are concubines themselves, and the concubines are also very relieved. Xie Xuan said, "What does Your Highness think?"

"No need. Liu Xu still said lightly, "If you like it, they will follow you." ”

Xie Xuan didn't expect Liu Xu to refuse so quickly, the smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened slightly, and said: "The concubine saw that there were many portraits of Concubine Jiang in His Highness's study, and I thought that His Royal Highness had not forgotten Concubine Jiang, so the concubine looked for a long time before she found two people who were somewhat similar to Concubine Jiang, hoping that they could comfort Your Highness, if Your Highness really didn't like it, the concubine sent them away." ”

Liu Xu raised his eyes: "You must know that a man has feelings for a woman, sometimes not because of appearance, but because they have experienced a lot of things together, and this memory is difficult to replace." No matter how similar their appearance is, but the things that this palace has experienced can never be experienced by anyone again. This palace doesn't need a stand-in, and you don't have to do this kind of thing in the future, which will damage your status as the crown princess. ”

Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "The concubine just hopes that His Highness can be happier, all for His Highness's sake." ”

"This Hongu believes that you are thinking about Hongu. Liu Xu said, "It's just that as the crown princess, you have to think about some things and whether it is appropriate to do them." ”

"The concubine knows. ”

"Today's dim sum was good. Liu Xu took a bite of the snack, "The crown princess has a heart." ”

Xie Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If Your Highness likes it, the concubine will make it for Your Highness tomorrow." ”

"This kind of trivial matter is left to the next person to do. Liu Xu said, "You are the crown princess, your time is reserved for more important things!"

Xie Xuan left with the two maids, and after she went back, she looked at the two women in front of her, and was very puzzled: "You two, the more I look at that woman, the more I look like that woman, why does His Highness not react to the two of you at all? Is it that he really doesn't need a stand-in or is it because in his heart, that woman is actually not that important?"

The two glanced at each other uneasily: "Crown Princess, maybe it's because His Royal Highness has you in his heart and doesn't want you to be sad?"

Xie Xuan smiled sarcastically: "Have me in your heart, why have you never touched me since you got married?"
