Regarding Lu Ling's matter, Liu Bang didn't show too much satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and buried all his expressions and attitudes in his heart, and Lu Hou didn't know what he thought about this matter. The two only showed subtle support and understanding, but in fact, neither understood anyone's heart. But for Liu Bang, Lu Hou's strength is so great, she can cover the sky with one hand, Lu Ling has such a big event, he doesn't know it, and it's difficult for him to care about Xiuyan's affairs, but he doesn't want to know.

At the end of the afternoon, accompanied by Dai Qing, Empress Lu walked aimlessly around Changxin Palace. She wanted to go out for a walk, but she was afraid that she would be stuffy if she stayed in the palace all the time, and she had encountered too many things in the past few days, so she wanted to relax herself. Lu Ling is dead, but in Lu Hou's heart, he will not die in vain, she must find out who told Lu Ling, because Lu Ling's matter is very likely to be directed at her by herself, while walking, her eyes are looking at the distance, the mountains in the distance are undulating, and the mountains are covered with a faint gray-green, without any life.

Suddenly, she stopped on a high platform, and Dai Qing also stopped with her, and with her eyes, it was the prince's hall, with the high eaves flying, and the beasts carved under the corners of the eaves were all bare-eyed.

"Niangniang, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been studying the history of various families since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the past few days, do you want to take a look." Dai Qing saw that Empress Lu's eyes kept falling on the palace of the prince, just standing quietly and watching, she knew that Empress Lu had not been to the palace of the prince for a long time, so she suggested that she go to see the prince, so as to enhance the relationship between mother and son.

Empress Lu turned her head, smiled faintly at her, and nodded.

got off the high platform, and Dai Qing followed behind her.

The Prince Palace is not far from the Changxin Palace, it should be said that the Changxin Palace and the Prince Palace are both included in the Changle Palace, and the Changle Palace is divided into Changxin Palace, Jinhua Palace, Changqiu Palace, Yongshou Palace, Qilin Palace, Prince Palace, etc.

Passing through the paths and pavilions of the Nine Curves, the most eye-catching and luxurious place in the east is the palace where Liu Ying lives, outside the palace there are tall and mighty soldiers with halberds guarding the palace, their faces are very serious, and they stand motionless to guard the main hall.

Empress Lu walked over to meet them, and the soldiers guarding immediately knelt down and saluted, "See the queen mother." ”

"Get up." Lu Hou said lightly, without even looking at what they looked like, and went in with his eyes leveled ahead.

In the courtyard, neat and clean, every few meters there is a palace maid and eunuch cross guard, quietly waiting, there is still a swing, a stone platform for practicing kung fu, seeing the queen coming, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt down, "See the queen." ”

"Get up." Another faint voice.

The sunlight slanted westward, and the prince's hall sat north and faced south, and the west-slanted light illuminated the front and back of the threshold of the main hall, dividing the inside and outside of the main hall into a black and white world. Raised his legs and went in, quietly saw no one, looked to both sides, and did not find the figure of the prince, so he walked in and went to the back hall to look for him.

Sure enough, when he saw him in the back hall, Empress Lu did not move forward, but stood behind the pillar and looked at him. At this time, the prince was sitting on the mat, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and reading intently, without realizing that his mother was behind, only to see that he sometimes condensed his eyebrows, sometimes suddenly brightened, sometimes raised his hand to pinch his forehead, and sometimes bit his index finger to his lips and thought.

Seeing that he was so attentive to his studies, Empress Lu happily showed a smile, Dai Qing looked at Empress Lu and then at the prince's concentration on reading bamboo slips, and a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he followed Empress Lu's side, not bothering much, just watching quietly.

“…… Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are dogs, saints are unkind, people are dogs, between heaven and earth, it is still a dog? Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much. …… Water is good for all things and is inexhaustible, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, a good faith, a good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no need to worry about ......" Liu Ying was reading Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, and sometimes stopped to savor it.

Just as Liu Ying was carefully reading the Tao Te Ching, a voice sounded behind Empress Lu, breaking the silence just now, "Queen Mother." As soon as Empress Lu turned around, it was the crown prince and the uncle and grandson, and the uncle and grandson bowed his head.

Empress Lu smiled slightly, let out a soft 'oh', and said, "Uncle Sun Taifu, where did you go?" ”

"The minister went to Shiqu Pavilion and selected another volume of high-grade historical books for His Royal Highness the Prince." Shusun Tong took out a roll of bamboo slips from his long sleeves and handed it to Lu Hou to look at, and when he opened it, he saw that it was "Shangshu".

"Shangshu." Lu Hou opened the long bamboo slip and looked at it, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curved, he smiled faintly, admiring the bamboo slips in his hand, and all the good things on the bamboo slips were fed back on Lu Hou's face, "If it is a classic, Mr. Shusun is indeed talented, "Shangshu" is in the way of Ming Renjun governing the people, and in the way of Ming Xian's ministers, it is very good." Then he rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them to his uncle and grandson Tong to hold.

The prince, who was reading the bamboo slips inside, heard that it was the queen mother, so he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, got up and came to Queen Lu, raised his hand to the eyebrows and saluted respectfully, "The queen mother is extremely happy." ”

Empress Lu put down the prince's hand and said with a smile, "Ying'er is exempt." ”

Liu Ying welcomed Empress Lu into the room and asked the palace maid in the house to bring a mat for Empress Lu to sit down.

Dai Qing didn't put her eyes on Liu Ying, she saw that the four corners of the room were full of bauhinia flowers, and there was a faint fragrance of bauhinia flowers in the house, she had seen this kind of flower, she had seen it in Jing Tian's house when she sent bamboo slips to Yuzao Palace that day, she sensitively immediately linked these two things, she didn't dare to think that the man who gave Jing Tian Bauhinia was the prince?

Dai Qing's face stiffened, and he only felt that the sky had collapsed in an instant, and he stood there looking at the flowers with motionless eyes.

"Dai Qing also sit." Empress Lu asked Dai Qing behind him to sit down, turned his head and saw that Dai Qing was just looking at the flowers, Empress Lu took Dai Qing's hand and shouted, "Dai Qing?" ”

Dai Qing hurriedly retracted his thoughts, 'oh', and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Empress Lu and the prince looked at each other and smiled, then took Dai Qing's hand and told her to sit down, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Oh, I just think that the flowers in His Royal Highness the Prince's house are a little familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere." Dai Qing said, glancing at the prince sitting on the mat.

Prince Guo's face became nervous, and then he stopped being nervous, and smiled, "This kind of flower is everywhere, and it's normal to see it." He didn't know that Dai Qing had already seen it in Jing Tian's house, and he knew that it was a man who gave it to her, Jing Tian was not familiar with anyone outside the Yuzao Palace, and she wouldn't know the prince, unless the prince himself changed his name to coax her to be naughty.

Dai Qing was speechless and sat down.

"What is the matter with the mother and her son?" Liu Ying said.

Empress Lu squeezed out a smile and said a little tiredly, "It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't been here for a long time, I will come over to take a look when I have time today, I just saw Ying'er so attentive to reading history, it is really gratifying for the queen mother." ”

Liu Ying scratched her head with a smile, embarrassed, and said, "It's all the credit of Mr. Uncle Sun, I choose useful historical chapters for my sons and daughters to read every day, and if I can't, I will ask Mr. Uncle Sun, but I have learned a lot." ”

Uncle Sun Tong's eyes widened for a moment, and he hurriedly came to the front and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves Weichen." ”

Empress Lu took the prince's hand, and the two laughed.

After the laughter, Empress Lu seemed to point to it, "You must study hard, and in the future, when you become an emperor, you can also reconcile the people and govern the mountains and rivers." ”

The smile on Liu Ying's face gradually disappeared, avoiding Empress Lu's eyes, and stopped talking.

"Alright, Ying'er continues." Lu Houjian didn't have anything to say, every time he encountered this kind of topic of the way of the emperor, Liu Ying always avoided being silent, knowing that he had said the wrong thing again, and it would be nonsense to continue talking. Empress Lu then got up and prepared to return to the palace, Dai Qing also got up, and his uncle and grandson stood aside, let the travel road come, and bowed and waited.

Liu Ying also stood up, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to send Empress Lu off, "The queen mother is leaving, and the son will visit the queen tomorrow." He shook it again at Empress Lu.

Empress Lu nodded 'um', walked past Shusun Tong and stopped, and said to Shusun Tong, "The prince's studies have Uncle Lao's Taifu." ”

"The duty of the minister, the mother can rest assured." Uncle Sun Tong bowed over.

Lu Hou and Dai Qing left.
