In the Changle Palace, Empress Lu and Princess Fang were talking about some things that their parents had never met for thousands of miles, and Dai Qing walked into the main hall, his face gloomy and not good. When Empress Lu saw her like this, she knew that the prince had given her a face again, and she didn't comfort Dai Qing much, but Princess Lu Yuan saw Dai Qing's sullen appearance, and thought something was wrong, so she asked with concern, "Dai Qing, are you uncomfortable, why is your face so bad?" "The princess didn't know about the matter between Dai Qing and the crown prince.

Dai Qing was afraid that the princess would find out, so she quickly shook her head and squeezed out a smile and said, "Princess, it's nothing, it must be that I didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little dizzy." ”

The princess asked her to take good care of her body, and she thanked the princess and stood beside Empress Lu waiting for orders.

While Fang was talking to his mother, a powerful and slightly joyful voice came from outside the hall, "Sister." ”

The princess followed the voice and slowly turned back to find it, it was the younger brother she hadn't seen for many years, he was standing at the main gate of Changxin Palace at this time and called Sister A, and the princess was in tears again, which made Empress Lu's eyes a little wet.

"Brother." The princess stood up excitedly and ran to her brother who was standing at the door, and the prince also hurried into the palace and ran towards his sister, and the two met and hugged each other in the atrium of the main hall.

After a while, the sister and brother separated, still standing in place, Princess Lu Yuan stroked Liu Ying's hair on both sides with tears in her eyes, touched his cheek and forehead, looked at her little brother carefully, her voice was a little hoarse, holding her brother's hand, and said affectionately, "My brother is still so handsome, well, I have grown taller, and my sister is almost gone." ”

"Is Sister doing well in Zhao Kingdom? Is my brother-in-law okay? What about Yan'er, did Yan'er come with Sister A, I haven't seen that little guy for a long time, I don't know if she has grown taller. Liu Ying saw her sister and asked for a while, but the princess didn't know which question to answer him first. The princess smiled at him, turned her head and pointed to Yan'er in Empress Lu's arms, "She's there." ”

Empress Lu beckoned Liu Ying to come and sit too, Dai Qing brought a mat for him, the prince may have remembered what happened just now, his eyes were full of apologies when he was opposite her, and he wanted to say sorry to her, but Empress Lu and the princess were here, so it was hard to say, just nodded to her, but Dai Qing never looked at his eyes again this time, why bother looking for boring?

Liu Ying sat down, the princess also sat down, Dai Qing made tea for them again, and then listened to their affairs, but his eyes still did not leave the prince.

"Girl, do you know who I am?" Liu Ying deliberately teased his niece, pointing at herself and asking Zhang Yan.

At this time, Zhang Yan was playing with a puppet in her hand, and when she saw Liu Ying sitting down to tease herself, she giggled, her chubby cheeks were even more cute at this time, and the pink little chubby finger pointed at Liu Ying and whispered, "You are Liu Ying's uncle." ”

"I'm my uncle, so who are you?" Liu Ying continued to tease her.

"I'm Yan'er." Xiao Zhang Yan replied inarticulate and cute.

made the whole hall laugh, Liu Ying couldn't close his mouth and laughed, he loved his little niece the most, and he opened his hands to hug her, "Ah Yan, do you like your uncle, do you want your uncle to hug it?" ”

Xiao Zhang Yan leaned forward in response to him, and was about to follow him, but Empress Lu transferred her to her son and said, "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry, I'm so old, can't I hold her?" As she spoke, Xiao Zhang Yan arrived in Liu Ying's arms.

She was motionless in his arms and quietly playing with her little puppet, wearing a light pink Hanfu, combing her hair in a bun, the light of the candle flame in the hall shone on the skin that could be broken by blowing, and her small mouth was pouting, it was really cute, and the adults made a joke about her for a while, and then pulled the family routine.

"Isn't my brother coming to see his mother these days? The queen mother is so lonely and lonely, isn't it very busy in the womb? The princess took a sip of tea and said jokingly.

Liu Ying glanced at Empress Lu apologetically, and Empress Lu was also waiting for his answer.

He touched Yan'er's little head with his hand, trying to divert this embarrassment, and said, "There's nothing wrong, Sister Ah will check my filial piety to the queen mother as soon as she comes." So good, my brother wrote it down, and after two days of worshipping his mother, okay? ”

Empress Lu and the princess both pursed their lips and smiled, and the princess even touched his head, "Poor brother." ”

At this time, Liu Ying poked his neck and looked around the hall as if looking for someone.

When Empress Lu saw him like this, she asked, "What is Ying'er looking for?" ”

Liu Ying 'oh' for a moment and asked, "Didn't my brother-in-law come with my sister?" ”

The princess said, "No, he will be here the day after tomorrow." I left two days before him. ”

Liu Ying smiled and pointed at her sister to deliberately anger her, "Oh, my brother-in-law doesn't want to be with my sister." Isn't it sister, you are very fierce at home, and your fierce brother-in-law refuses to be with you? ”

At this time, the princess was a little anxious by what he said, waved her hand at him in the air, and deliberately found a random topic to mock him, "Brother, how do you know that Sister Ah is very fierce, is it that you also have someone you like, brother, she is also very fierce to you?" ”

The princess asked this sentence was an unintentional move, but it attracted Empress Lu and Dai Qing to look at Liu Ying together, waiting for his answer, Empress Lu didn't want him to be nostalgic for men and women at such a young age, and Dai Qing was concerned about whether he had someone he liked.

Liu Ying also waved her hand in the air, laughed, and hurriedly said, "No, no, Sister won't make fun of my brother anymore." ”

Empress Lu saw that his sister and brother were not speaking seriously, so he interjected, "Okay, okay, your brother-in-law, but a good husband, because he didn't want to come to Chang'an early to disturb us, but he was worried about your sister, so he sent a large team of people to protect your sister, don't talk bad about your brother-in-law behind your back." ”

Liu Ying smiled at the princess, and teased Zhang Yan in her arms from time to time.

"Brother, have you ever thought about finding a master for yourself?" Princess Lu Yuan asked Liu Ying, who was playing with Zhang Yan.

"Yes." Liu Ying said while playing with her niece, "Since the death of the palace master, I have been observing the people who can be the master of the palace. ”

"Do you have the right person in mind?"

"Yes."

"Let's listen to it, let Sister give you a reference." The princess smiled and glanced at Empress Lu, and Empress Lu also smiled, she never knew that her son had quietly had a candidate to be the prince, and she also listened to her son quietly.

Liu Ying looked at Sister A and said seriously, "Taifu, the one who preaches and teaches and solves doubts." You must have real talent and learning, and you must be a person who is full of wealth to be my master. Then, I think Prime Minister Xiao He and Qu Reverse Hou Chen Ping are not bad. Liu Ying said that these two people may be Xiao He's real admiration for himself and Chen Ping's wisdom in effectively handling the Weishui wreck when Liu Bang and the minister discussed the matter of governing Weishui.

Empress Lu quietly listened to his son's opinion, and did not feel happy in his heart, he already knew how to determine a person's ability. But she wanted to correct him, so she asked, "Ying'er has grown up and knows some things, but does Ying'er really think that Xiao Chengxiang can be a master?" The queen mother didn't say that Prime Minister Xiao was uneducated, but she just felt that he was dedicated to assisting your father, and there were so many things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and besides, Prime Minister Xiao also had a second law now, so busy, and now you want him to be a prince, isn't that to exhaust the prime minister? Qu is waiting, but he is knowledgeable, but the queen mother thinks that he is a little inappropriate, and always feels that he is not very stable. ”

Liu Ying nodded suddenly in realization, "What the queen mother said is the same, so who is more suitable?" ”

"How's it going?" Lu Hou asked.

"The queen mother should have thought of her son, right?" Liu Ying smiled, forgetting the wisest Liuhou, and nodded hurriedly, "Please let the queen mother decide." ”
