In the blink of an eye, it has been August, Xiao Heng's funeral lasted more than ten days, and it finally came to an end.

As for the matter of easy storage, due to the earthquake in Mount Tai, Gongsun hanged himself, Xiao Daocheng has been put down for the time being, and the days of Xiao Zhen, the prince, have also fallen into a short period of peace.

It was almost evening at this time, Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang woke up from sleep, and they were called to the front yard by Xiao Zhen, only to see the subordinates put two pots on the ground, and the other two subordinates each held an arrow and stood on both sides.

The two children walked over here, Xiao Changmao saw the pot on the ground from a distance, and knew what Xiao Zhen was going to ask them to do, so he jumped and ran over, and said with a smile: "Pitching pots?" I love pitching pots! As soon as he came, he took an arrow in his hand and threw it into the pot in front of him with precision.

Xiao Zhen stood behind, and when he saw it, he boasted: "Good! Changmao is truly amazing! ”

In contrast, Xiao Ziliang was not so active, but a little passive, he walked over slowly, with reluctance written on his face, Xiao Zhen asked: "Ziliang, are you unhappy?" ”

Xiao Ziliang raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhen with round eyes, and held back for a long time before he dared to say: "Father, I don't like to throw pots......"

Xiao Zhen didn't speak, and then Xiao Changmao ran over and said to Xiao Ziliang: "The book says that the pot throwing game has been around since the Warring States period, and the scholars and doctors will throw the pot, if we don't, I'm afraid we will be made fun of." ”

"But I just won't......" Xiao Ziliang said with a slight cry, as if he was very aggrieved, Xiao Changmao was afraid of provoking him to cry, and didn't dare to say anything more, at this time Xiao Zhen touched his head and comforted: "It's okay, I can't learn, my father didn't know when he was young, and he was often reprimanded by your grandfather, but now he can't?" ”

As he spoke, he took Xiao Ziliang's hand and pulled him towards the empty pot, and then took an arrow from his subordinate hand, handed it to Xiao Ziliang, and said, "It's okay to try." ”

Xiao Ziliang hesitantly took the arrow, and slowly threw it into the pot, but his wrist was really weak, the arrow was thrown in the air, and there was still a silicon gap before it could enter the pot, Xiao Ziliang looked up at Xiao Zhen, and called with a sad face: "Father......"

Xiao Zhen rubbed his head again, and said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, take your time." ”

The next person handed over another arrow, Xiao Ziliang reluctantly took it, and threw it at the mouth of the pot, this time it was still not accurate, he couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart, "wow" and cried, and said in a milky voice: "I don't want to learn......"

Xiao Zhen saw Xiao Ziliang crying so sadly, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but Xiao Changmao hurriedly ran to comfort him, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Ziliang's little face, and said: "Ziliang doesn't cry, my mother said that a manly husband can't shed tears easily." ”

Xiao Zhen also said: "Ziliang, it's my father who is not good, if you don't want to learn to throw pots, then we won't learn, and you won't cry anymore." ”

Yin Luo stood aside, looking at everything in his eyes, and he said to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, the two little highnesses are good martial arts and good writing, you should also teach according to your aptitude." ”

Xiao Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded, "Lone knows." He immediately ordered someone to take Xiao Ziliang down to rest, and only taught Xiao Changmao the game of pitching pots.

Not long after, Pei Huizhao also came over, she intended to watch from the sidelines, but Xiao Changmao shouted: "The mother concubine also came to vote for two?" ”

Pei Huizhao shook his head, "Mother concubine won't, just watch you from the side." ”

"You can't learn," Xiao Changmao said, then turned his head to look at Xiao Zhen, like a coquette, and said, "Father, can you teach your godmother again?" ”

"Okay," Xiao Zhen had a smile on his face, and then walked to another pot, took an arrow and beckoned Pei Huizhao to come over, Pei Huizhao walked to take the arrow from his hand, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly stood next to her behind her, and held her hand holding the arrow, aiming at the pot in front, Xiao Xun whispered in her ear, as if teaching her the skills of pitching pots, but she couldn't listen to half a word.

It's been three years! It's been three years! Since Xie Yu's death, Xiao Zhen has never been so close to her, today's long-lost warmth, she feels both strange and familiar, obviously a husband and wife who have shared the bed for many years, she is still red-faced and very shy.

Xiao Zhen whispered: "Let go," he said, his wrist exerted his strength, Pei Huizhao let go of his hand, and the arrow in his hand flew into the pot, Xiao Changmao jumped beside him, and said happily: "Father is so powerful!" ”

After the arrow was put into the pot, Xiao Zhen also let go of Pei Huizhao's hand, and then stood to the side, at this time, the porter hurriedly came and reported to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, there is a Xie Langjun outside, saying that he is here to visit you." ”

"Xie Langjun?" Xiao Zhen guessed that it was Xie Zheng, but he was not sure, and the porter said, "It's the one who came a few days ago." ”

"It's really her," Xiao Zhen became more and more pleased, and hurriedly said, "Please come in!" ”

After speaking, he also walked out, and said, "No, let's go and invite it yourself." ”

Pei Huizhao saw that Xiao Zhen valued this Xie Langjun so much, and he was really unhappy in his heart, and he always felt that His Royal Highness was a little too intimate with this person.

When Xiao Zhen arrived at the gate of the mansion, he really saw Xie Zheng standing below in a long robe, followed by an entourage of the same age, and she looked quite delicate, like the handmaid who often followed her.

He immediately went down to greet him and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Xie Zheng smiled lightly and said with a slight joke: "I have no intention of passing by your mansion and want to go in to beg for water." ”

Xiao Zhen naturally knew her temperament, and hurriedly invited her and her entourage into the house.

At this time, the pot and arrows in the front yard have not been removed, and Xiao Changmao doesn't seem to have had a good time, Xiao Zhen took Xie Zheng to the Xuan Garden, passing by the front yard, Xie Zheng saw the objects on the ground, and knew that they must be throwing pots, so he smiled and said: "It seems that Deyin has come at an inopportune time." ”

Xie Zheng just teased casually, Pei Huizhao always couldn't get used to her, no matter what people said, they felt that people were malicious, she glanced at Xie Zheng, and then took an arrow from the hand of the next person, and threw it into the pot with a ruthless force, and then called: "Changmao, the concubine will take you back to the backyard," she said angrily, and without waiting for Xiao Changmao to react, she took him away with a hard pull.

Xie Zheng saw her series of actions, and she also knew that Pei Huizhao had malicious intentions towards her, but she was a little laughing and didn't care, but Xiao Zhen was very embarrassed and laughed: "Let you laugh," Pei Huizhao was inexplicably angry, and he really couldn't figure it out.

Xie Zheng smiled: "Don't worry, the crown princess is just quite individual." ”

Xiao Zhen really felt sorry, so he never mentioned her again.
