After the prince came back, Empress Lu ordered someone to call the prince to come to Changxin Palace for dinner, and asked him about today's comfort, and the prince said that under the arrangement of the prime minister, the comfort work went very smoothly, and talked with some celebrities and nobles in the Kanto region, and they felt very good with each other for the time being. Empress Lu nodded with satisfaction, put the dish on the prince's plate and told him to eat it while it was hot, Empress Lu was very happy in her heart, thinking that she would call the prince out of the palace tomorrow. After eating, the prince returned to the prince's palace accompanied by the Ansha people and other close guards.

Empress Lu rested in the courtyard for a while, looking at the stars in the sky at night, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely for a while, and pondered alone for a while, and returned to the palace to prepare to rest when she had already fallen asleep. Empress Lu's face immediately became gloomy, I don't know what she wants, she may not be willing to come when Mrs. Guan invites her to come, she doesn't want to see her in recent days, but she sticks to herself like a plaster, Empress Lu is very displeased, but she still suppressed her anger or called Mrs. Guan, and Empress Lu still went to the bed and took a bamboo slip casually to look at it, waiting for Mrs. Guan.

When Mrs. Guan entered the hall, she asked Chanxin to retreat and asked her to wait for her outside the hall, and Mrs. Guan entered the dormitory of Queen Lu with a big belly alone. Empress Lu glanced at Mrs. Guan obliquely, and when she saw that she had a big belly, she didn't ask her to do those cumbersome etiquettes, and asked someone to bring her a mat to sit opposite her. Empress Lu leaned on the pillow idly, staring at the bamboo slip and asking Mrs. Guan what was the matter, as for visiting the door three times a day.

Mrs. Guan's face was nervous, probably because she was blamed by Empress Lu during the day, and her usual majesty and position in the harem suppressed her, her eyes blinked slightly, and she glanced at Empress Lu, who was only looking at the bamboo slips, Mrs. Guan frowned again, and then slowly spoke, "Concubine...... Alas! Still don't talk about it. Mrs. Guan's decadent waist was bent off, and she sighed for a long time, seeing that Empress Lu didn't see what she meant, and she didn't want to deal with it when she saw it, Mrs. Guan suddenly lost the interest in talking, so she stopped talking.

Her pause made Lu Hou angry, straightened up and looked at Mrs. Guan mercilessly, "Say! What's the matter with you? The hall was just a candle flame enchanting, and the silence of the night reflected the fortitude between the words of Empress Lu, only to make Mrs. Guan suddenly frightened, trembling, and even more afraid, the queen shouted that she didn't dare not say it, and after planning in her abdomen for a long time, she said stubbornly, "Qi, Mrs. Qi has followed His Majesty out of the customs all the year round, doesn't Niangniang hate it?" ”

Lu Hou exhaled coldly, she said what was the matter, so she put the bamboo slips on the next few cases, looked straight at Mrs. Guan, sneered and provoked Mrs. Guan with a slight mockery, "If you have the ability, you will also follow, what are you afraid of?" Her son is king, and your son will be king in the future, haven't you been very favored in recent months? Why do you have to hate her, don't you understand that love is relaxed and her color is declining? In a few months, the child will be born, so accumulate some merit. ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Guan broke out in a cold sweat on her back, and she immediately regretted that she shouldn't have come here, and she was just criticized by Empress Lu for not being able to do anything. Suddenly, Empress Lu had no words to say, and sat on the mat like a pins and needles and concubines wanted to go back, but they didn't know how to find a way to leave for a while, and they still rolled their eyes vigorously thinking about the countermeasures to leave. Seeing that Mrs. Guan was speechless, the hall was quiet for a moment, only to hear the long and weak exhalation of Empress Lu, just as Mrs. Guan was looking for a reason to leave, but Empress Lu continued, "The emperor is not in the pass in recent days, and the palace will not go to you often, so you have to live and raise your body." Lu Hou called Mrs. Guan's girl outside the door and asked her to help Mrs. Guan go back, Mrs. Guan retreated for no reason, and Lu Hou said that she obeyed her mind and took advantage of the situation to go back. Empress Lu was sleepless all night, and when Empress Lu added a little bit to Mrs. Guan's words, she hated Qi Ji more and more.

The next day, a silk silk was passed to the hands of Empress Lu, who calmly opened it and took a look: up to Shanyang. The prince happened to come in from outside, and made a pilgrimage to Empress Lu, seeing that his mother was holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand, and her face was smiling slightly, the prince asked her what was the matter, and Empress Lu waved his hand and said that it was just the emperor who sent a letterhead asking them to take care of the emperor and supervise Guanzhong, and the prince believed it.

In the morning, the prince accompanied Lu Hou to play, Xiao He came to report that the Yellow River flood season is coming, at first the spring flood season due to the melting of snow on the upper mountains has caused a small flood season, now into midsummer, the flood season is in sight, in previous years in order to prepare for these flood seasons, Han Ting has been asked to build a dam, dig deep ditches to prepare for the future. At present, when the people are busy with farming, Xiao He implored the prince to go out of the palace again to check the flow of water and dam facilities around the Yellow River, so as to stabilize the people around the Yellow River. When Empress Lu heard Xiao He say this, she immediately decided to ask the prince to move forward without much thought, Liu Ying changed her body and came out, asking Xiao He to go forward with her. Empress Lu privately instructed the confessor to immediately call Lu Jia and others to follow him.

For a time, the crown prince followed a large group of civil and military ministers. The scorching sun is shining like fire, there is no beauty in the clarity of the universe, the ministers Ye Ye whispered, looking at the direction of the patrol, with the eunuch beside the prince a shrill 'out of the patrol-', everyone or riding horses or sitting on a chariot with the prince re-out of the palace, through the east gate to the counties around the Yellow River.

The officials around the Yellow River looked at the dust to greet him, Xiao He had already ordered him not to be solemn and noisy, and not to pass it into the ears of the emperor, the prince was just supervising the country, and he must not ruin the reputation of the prince and provoke the emperor to complain. So everyone just simply performed the etiquette, respectfully invited the prince to enter the hall to rest first, everyone still greeted respectfully, hoping that the prince could be merciful if he found out something, so he was also respectful and saw a little whisker, and everyone in the entourage knew the intentions of these officials, and for a while focused all their attention on the future emperor to see how he would deal with it in the future. Xiao He was very satisfied with the welcome at first, and did it impartially, and the prince also felt that the etiquette was very good during the rest, and immediately announced that he had rewarded these officials in the Yellow River border towns.

After resting for a whole day, the next time was to lead the ministers to check the status of the Yellow River embankment and the surrounding canal facilities, and heard that the prince inspected the Yellow River on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the surrounding people all gathered around to see the prince's face, causing a period of chaos, and immediately there were guards holding halberds to stop them, Xiao He and others also hurried over to persuade the people to leave quickly. It's easy to see the prince once, where are you willing to leave, regardless of the prime minister's obstruction, they are still vying to see the weather of the heavenly family, and they can't stop it. The prince smiled at this situation, waved his hand and told everyone not to stop it, Xiao He instructed the people to only watch from a distance and not to touch the majestic body, the people nodded casually but turned their eyes to the prince, but they never dared to approach, and they were happy and harmonious with the monarch and the people.

The prince carefully inspected the embankment, the first section of the embankment was fine, the more the prince walked to the other end of the embankment, the more he felt the feeling of stepping on it and becoming soft, the prince was puzzled and squatted down and touched the stone on the ground, but he could easily break it, the soil under the stone was still very soft, as if he had stepped on a rainy farmland. The prince got up, narrowed his eyes, and thought carefully about his father, Liu Bang, who had also checked the embankment, why didn't he find anything wrong with the embankment? The prince returned to the crowd from the other side of the embankment, glanced at the officials in charge of the canals and the embankments in this place, and asked majestically and suddenly, "Who is the one who guards the dikes of the canals in this place?" Don't you know how Weishui was wrecked last year? Putting the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people around them? How can we not learn from the lessons of the past? As a official, he should bear a heavy responsibility and come out to apologize for the sins of the people. ”

Some of the officials immediately became nervous, and when they saw that no one came to talk, the ministers of the Han Court also looked at each other for some reason. Xiao He was even more gloomy with an extremely unhappy face, and shouted angrily at the officials who managed the affairs of the Yellow River, and called the stewards to come and talk back. In the silence, a gorgeously dressed, slightly shorter, middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket jumped forward, this person was the Yellow River channelist, walked to the prince, and waved his hand at the prince sharply, and his confidence was not enough, "This, ......the minister" The man's words couldn't continue, so he turned around and immediately scolded a government official behind him, "How can you deceive me?" The here is related to the life and death of the people around the Yellow River, don't you live here? It is not kind to regard life as a mustard, and it is not kind to wait. ”

The official stared at the big eyes and was stunned, touching his head with one hand and being confused, with an innocent look, the second monk looked at the river speaker in confusion, and the river speaker was still scolding. Not only was the prince's calm face displeased, but Xiao He and the others also exhaled heavily, complaining on their lips. Xiao He came to the prince to ask for instructions on how to handle it, but the prince was also very simple, and said simply, "Depose the official position, never be hired, and the river confessor can find someone else." After the prince finished speaking, his expression was cold, and his heart was angry, and he buried his head back in the station. Xiao He immediately ordered someone to deal with this river informant, and suddenly the river informant was stunned. "Wow-" The people hugged each other and laughed, and the prince cheered for winning the people's applause.

"Prince Changle Weiyang-" The people bowed their heads to the prince Liu Yingqi, who had already gone away.
