In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again, and time seems to slip away at people's fingertips, making people unaware and unconscious.

In a dilapidated courtyard outside the capital, a young man screamed and chased an old woman, and from time to time a string of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was connected into silver threads and shiny in the winter sun.

"O princess! Your son is crazy again? The people at the door whispered.

"Alas... What kind of iniquity have I had! Coming out of that high-walled compound, my precious son..."

In addition to heartbreak, the woman's eyes were more remorseful, and she stumbled over, and with the help of a few stout men in the neighborhood outside the door, her crazy son was tied up, and then she threw herself on the man with a dirty face and wailed, which was really uncomfortable to hear.

This day is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the harvest year of the Mo Dynasty, every household is busy with new peaches for old charms, and the gloom and slaughter that belong to the middle of winter on weekdays also slowly fade with the melting ice.

The willow trees by the river occasionally have young shoots, and more willow branches want to be extracted, probably because of the winter situation, only a few green elves who explored the way were sent to the world to report the news of spring.

"Princess, the old general is here." Ziyi walked in from the courtyard and looked at Le Zhengyu, who was reading a book on the seat, and spoke.

"Oh? My father is here, and I haven't seen him since last year! How this is coming, I'll go and see. With that, Le Zhengyu put the book on the table next to him, wrapped his cloak and walked out.

"Princess, I heard that the emperor sent someone to the general's palace yesterday to announce the decree, and the little girl who went to the street to buy today came back and was talking about it, and the slave maid saw that the old general's face was not very good, and he looked worried." Ziyi explained in a low voice.

"Really? I see, let's see. ”

As the two walked into the flower hall, Le Zhenghuan got up and was about to salute, but Le Zhengyu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Father, there is no one else here, so don't do these false courtesies! I sent someone to the house to invite you, I heard that you are sick, but now you are better? Le Zhengyu asked with a smile on his face.

"How can the courtesy of the monarch and the minister be exempted, the princess must keep it in mind, and abide by the three obedience and four virtues in front of the prince, don't forget!" Le Zhenghuan saluted as usual, and did not forget to preach a few words.

Le Zhengyu turned his head to look at the purple clothes behind him, with a helpless look of 'look, it's just such a sticking to the rules', which made the purple clothes busy stepping forward to help Le Zhenghuan up.

"Father, daughter knows, follow her father's teachings."

Le Zhengyu raised his hand towards Le Zhenghuan to make a father-daughter salute, and Le Zhenghuan nodded reassuringly.

"Yu'er, my father is in good health. It is you, the father has also heard about some of the things you have encountered recently, and the father hopes that you can live a smooth life, and your mother has a spirit in the sky, so you can rest assured! ”

Le Zhenghuan looked at the noble and elegant daughter in front of him, who did not apply powder but had picturesque eyebrows, remembered his deceased wife, and sighed with emotion.

"Father, don't worry about your daughter, your daughter is still looking forward to her father living a long life, and her daughter will honor you in the future!" Le Zhengyu showed a delicate daughter's attitude and coquettishly to her father.

"Yu'er! My father came today to ask you to help me ask the prince, the emperor suddenly issued an order to bring Ling'er into the palace and gave it to a nobleman, why? Le Zhenghuan's face was full of sadness.

Le Zhengyu was shocked, and understood in his heart that Le Zhenghuan came to find him today, and he must have been instigated by some people, otherwise with his father's temperament, he would definitely not disturb her life for these trivial things.

After all, this year, she has asked people to send things to the house, and he returns the gift every time, what a stubborn old man, as for these people! It must be her impure-minded Erniang.

"What did my father have in mind?" Le Zhengyu asked.

"My father knows that Ling'er and Le'er are narrow-minded and jealous, so they don't plan to marry them into the capital, let alone the palace.

Now that only your eldest brother is left in our Lezheng family to inherit the family business, there are many rights and wrongs in the harem, with Ling'er's temperament, she will fight for your life and death, and her father is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself in the palace! ”

"What does the second sister think of herself?" Le Zhengyu asked again.

Seeing that Le Zhenghuan's worried face showed a little anger, Le Zhengyu probably understood a little.

"Father, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the second sister must be very willing! There are also the second mother and the third sister, who are also very happy, right? ”

Le Zhengyu looked at his father's silent appearance, and his heart was sour, although Le Zhengling and Le Zhengle did not have a noble mother, but as their father, Le Zhenghuan really loved them, but what about himself?

Le Zhengyu could even think that if he told the man in front of him who was nominally her father about the suffering he had suffered since childhood at this time, he was afraid that he would not believe it!

Le Zhengyu's personality for Le Zhenghuan is half awe, half respect.

Awe comes from his admiration for his lifelong career as a general, for the birth and death of the country, respect is because he is his nominal father, hindered by the etiquette of the monarch and elders, but there is a unique lack of intimacy, the kind of emotion that belongs to the father and daughter.

"Erniang has long hoped that the second sister and the third sister can marry into the royal family as concubines, and now that the wish has been fulfilled, she must not agree to her father's proposal, so why should my father be this wicked person!"

Le Zhengyu's words spit out faintly, Le Zhenghuan's eyes looked at her in surprise, the woman smiled and smiled, how similar to her mother, but it seemed that she was always separated from herself by a veil, she couldn't see it really, and she couldn't see through it.

"Since Yu'er said so, then the father really shouldn't stop it, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a curse!" Le Zhenghuan let out a long sigh and picked up the teacup in his hand.

"Father, the first emperor did not start a business, the middle way collapsed, and the queen mother started from a small talent, and single-handedly raised the emperor to become an adult and ascended to the throne. Not to mention the temperament of the second sister, to say something rebellious, if she gave birth to a prince, it is also a mother and a son. ”

Le Zhengyu vaguely put the original reason for Le Zhenghuan in front of him, after all, this is Le Zhengling's own choice, whether he will enjoy the glory of being rich and noble, or intriguing, and accidentally being killed by someone, it is all her own way, and she has to go alone.

"Princess, why did you say that the emperor suddenly ordered the second lady to go to the palace? What does it mean that it's not yet time for the draft? After Le Zhenghuan left, Ziyi asked puzzled.

"Hehe, Your Majesty! is the king of a country, it must be the honor of whoever he likes, everything in the draft is forced by others to do it, who is not willing to secretly pick a wild flower and weed on the side of the road to try it. ”

Le Zhengyu said so, but he was thinking in his heart, this matter! I'm afraid it can't get out of her family!
