When Xia Huan said this, Xia Ze above the main hall did not have the seriousness he had at the beginning.

Xia Ze gently leaned back on the seat behind him, and said calmly: "Huan'er, you haven't had the crown ceremony yet, why don't you talk about it?" ”

"Erchen is over nineteen, and he can be regarded as a weak crown year. Sharing the worries of the father and the emperor, isn't this exactly what the sons should do? ”

Xia Ze closed his eyes, shook his head, and said with a chuckle: "Share your worries for me? Hmph, or do you want to have some time on your own? ”

"The son has been idle in the palace for more than ten years, and he is really used to being idle, so he should share his father's worries!" Xia Huan shook his head again and said righteously.

"Hmm. Good! Xia Ze opened his eyes again, tapped the table, stood up and said, "My sons have also grown up, and they know that they have to share their worries for me!" Very good! ”

Listening to Xia Ze's ill-intentioned tone, Xia Huan frowned.

He wanted to leave Shouchun in order to avoid the struggle for power between the two princes. However, he also knew that once he left, the prince's people would definitely be able to find an excuse to attack the three princes.

What will happen to Xia Xu, Xia Huan doesn't want to care. In the same way, he is not worried that the court will get out of control because of this. After all, as long as Xia Ze is still alive for a day, then no one dares to mess around.

"Let me think about it, where can I be your fiefdom, so that you can share my worries." Xia Ze squinted his eyes and slowly found it on the huge map behind him.

Xia Huan asked for a seal, naturally the farther it was sealed, the better. Let the people in this longevity forget him.

Among the counties of Chu State, Xia Huan is the most favored is Huiji.

However, before Xia Huan could open his mouth, Xia Ze suddenly snorted softly: "There is!" That's good here! ”

Xia Ze tapped the map and turned slightly sideways.

"On the cheeks?" Xia Huan looked at the place Xia Ze was pointing at, and couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

Yingshang, from Shouchun, is only a few dozen miles away. At this distance, an edict from Shoudu can be reached in half a day. Moreover, Yingshang is not only close to Shouchun, but also the junction of Huaishui and Yingshui, and the waterway is developed, which can be regarded as a rich place.

Many ministers of the DPRK and China have also purchased a lot of industries in Yingshang. It can be said that the entire Yingshang is within the control of Shoudu.

What is the difference between such a fief and one that has not been divided?

"Father!" Seeing the location clearly, Xia Huan wanted to refute it.

However, Xia Ze waved his hand to stop his next words, and instead said: "The Queen Mother is also old, on weekdays, among the grandchildren, she loves you the most, so you can't bear to leave her old man's house like this?" ”

When Xia Huan heard the Empress Dowager Chu, he immediately swallowed the words that had already come to his mouth.

After careful calculation, the current Empress Dowager Chu is already in her old age. At such an age, among the ancients, it can be regarded as an extremely long life.

However, it is precisely because of this that no one knows when the Empress Dowager Chu, who is about to die, will die.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Huan finally lowered his head, saluted Xia Huan respectfully, and responded: "Erchen obeys his father's orders!" ”

Xia Ze nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You came here rashly today, presumably the Queen Mother and your mother Gu don't know." Although Yingshang is not far away, since it is sealed, it will always not come back in the short term. In the past few days, you will serve them well, and do not let them worry. ”

"The retainers obey!"

……

Between the bluestone palace roads, Xia Huan, as in the past, walked between the buildings with a bit of ancient atmosphere.

The eunuchs of the palace in the past, when they saw him, none of them stopped to salute.

Although Xia Huan is not famous in the government and the opposition, but in this palace, Xia Huan's words may be more effective than the crown prince and the three princes.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. In addition to the queen's parents, the dowager Chu's pampering occupies a large part.

"Your Highness, you're here."

In front of Danshou Palace, a maid respectfully saluted Xia Huan.

The Seven Princes come to Danshou Palace every day, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. It's just that in the past, the Seventh Prince always came in the morning, or after the Queen Mother took a nap in the afternoon, and the time he came today was much later than in the past.

Xia Huan pulled the palace maid and asked with some concern, "Has the Queen Mother ever used to feed?" ”

When Xia Huan came out of Xia Ze Palace, it was already basically dark. According to the rules of this era, feeding, that is, dinner, was often eaten before dark.

"Got it."

Xia Huan nodded, and was about to take a step into the palace, but he heard the palace maid say: "Your Highness today and in the future, the Queen Mother has not even used much food. Now, the queen is in the palace to persuade the queen mother. ”

Although the palace maid was reporting the diet of the Empress Dowager Chu, she always had a little smile in her expression.

Empress Dowager Chu treats people kindly, and no one in the palace is disrespectful or loved.

And Xia Huan's gentle temperament is somewhat similar to that of the Empress Dowager Chu, and he is also quite kind to the palace maids, and he also won the hearts of the people in the palace.

The smile on the palace maid's face was also happy that Xia Huan was loved by the Queen Mother.

Xia Huan nodded and smiled at the palace maid as a thank you. Then, he took another step and walked into the temple.

"Queen Mother, Huan'er is at Your Majesty's place, and it is expected that it will not be long before she will come to Danshou Palace. You haven't eaten much since you eat, and if you don't eat more, you must be distressed again by then. ”

Before entering the inner hall, Queen Jing's gentle voice had already sounded.

"Huan'er is just a child, what big things can be, you can talk about it all afternoon!"

Soon, the voice of the Empress Dowager Chu complaining also sounded. It's just that this is the only complaint, and after that, it is overshadowed by the sound of sucking soup.

Xia Huan at the door knew that it must be his mother, that is, Empress Jing persuaded the somewhat stubborn Empress Dowager Chu.

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Chu is also very fond of Queen Jing.

In fact, without the permission of Empress Dowager Chu, Empress Jing may not be able to truly control the entire harem.

And Empress Jing's filial piety has been the same for decades, and it is precisely for this reason that even if there are many rumors outside the palace, Xia Ze, as the Emperor of Chu, has never had the idea of making things difficult for Empress Jing.

In the palace, after the Empress Dowager Chu drank the soup in her mouth completely, a palace maid on the side said softly: "Empress Dowager, Your Highness has come down." ”

"Oh? Huan'er is here! When the Empress Dowager Chu heard this, her half-lying body immediately sat up straight, and she said with disgust in her mouth: "You palace maids, since Huan'er is here, why do you still let him wait!" Let him in! ”

"Whoa."

"Grandson meets the eldest mother!" Although he stood for an afternoon, Xia Huan's spirit was still very full.

"Oh, my Huan'er. In an afternoon at the Emperor's place, he must have never used food. Come and come, just accompany the eldest mother and eat together. Come, add a table to Your Highness. ”

"Whoa!"

Faced with the pampering of the Empress Dowager Chu, Xia Huan did not refuse, but sat down directly after bowing to Empress Jing.

Xia Huan ate very slowly, and the Empress Dowager Chu on the side looked at Xia Huan with a smile while eating under the service of Empress Jing.

In her spare time, the Empress Dowager Chu didn't forget to chatter: "Huan'er and the first emperor are really alike!" Not only is it the same as the first emperor, there are always some whimsical ideas, and even this appearance is seven or eight points similar to the first emperor! ”

"Queen Mother, you have praised Huan'er again." Queen Jing on the side also said with a smile.

In this way, the Empress Dowager Chu would say it almost every day. Not only Queen Jing, but even Xia Ze, who is the Emperor of Chu, has long been surprised.

In the face of Empress Dowager Chu's praise, Xia Huan smiled as usual, looking a little embarrassed.

However, in Xia Huan's heart, he knew a big secret. That is, his eldest father, Chu Taizu Xia Sheng, is also a traverser.

It is not surprising that the traversers, and the traversers, have similar rhetoric and style. As for appearance, maybe Xia Huan really looks a little like his eldest father, but it should be more of a fantasy of the Empress Dowager Chu.
