In a wide and bright room, a dozen children of four or five years old sat in a large circle on a small board, but all of them had nervous expressions on their faces. As the beat of the drums grew louder and louder, the orange that was passing between them could not help but spread faster and more urgently, and rolled to the ground several times, so anxious that the little fellow who had taken it off staggered after the round thing and ran all over the ground. When the drumming stopped abruptly, the little boy with the orange looked down at the orange in his hand, and finally stood up helplessly.

"It's me again......"

Despite muttering this, he walked up to the drummer like a little adult, glared at him viciously, and then turned his head to look at the little ones with anticipation on his faces, and coughed lightly in a serious manner: "The story I am telling you today is a rumor." Once upon a time there was an emperor......"

Luo Xu, who had just beaten the drum, had already put down the drumstick with a smile at this time, and after listening for a while, he saw that several other adults around him were whispering while listening, so he clapped his hands and walked forward, and when he arrived at Yang Jinzhou's side, he bumped into it with his elbow without saying a word. However, he has been cultivating himself for many years now, and he is no better than Yang Jinzhou, who has always been immersed in martial arts, and he was easily framed. So, a little disappointed, he had to snort sideways, and then shook his head.

"A good child, you have been trained by you to be such a little adult, and it is not interesting.

"Luo Xu, if you don't like it, this son-in-law will give it to me." Although Dai Wenzhi is honest, he married a daughter-in-law like Zhang Huixin, and now in addition to being calm, he often likes to joke with people. Therefore, although Luo Xu glared at him, he said to Yang Jinzhou without any disapproval, "Uncle Quan, my Qing'er's age is two years younger than your son-in-law'er." ”

"Hey, don't rob my son-in-law with me, I even have a marriage certificate ready!" Luo Xu was annoyed when he heard this, and immediately forgot what he said before that the child was too old to be bored, and so on" immediately patted Yang Jinzhou's chest without saying a word, "Brother Yang, this matter has a first come, first come, you can't rely on it!" ”

"Who wants Laihu"

With this sudden sound, the three of them immediately turned their heads to look at the door, and then they all stayed there. Seeing that the women who were originally gathering in the water pavilion over there were all here, "This is already surprising enough, and what is even more surprising is the other people in the back." Although the eldest princess of Anguo often comes and goes, they don't have to be too formal, but the emperor and the crown prince King Zhou are rare guests among the rare guests. Although they didn't understand why they hadn't been notified at the gate of the Mirror Garden, the three of them still greeted them together, but when they were about to salute, they were stopped by the emperor waving his hand.

“…… In the end, instead of defeating the enemy, the proud emperor returned defeated. Because the defeat was so miserable, the fleeing soldiers heard the wind and the cranes howling, and thought that the enemy was chasing them, so they fled faster......"

Listening to the little guy talking there, the emperor couldn't help but smile and glanced at Chen Lan behind him: "How old a child is, just tell him such a difficult idiom, although I know that you are strict, you don't need to help him." ”

"Your Majesty, how can anyone tell him this, because at that time Uncle Quan went to Jiangnan again, and I happened to take care of my mother-in-law and forgot him, so he took a thick book and asked Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu to tell him, and he had to ask for a long time about an allusion, and he couldn't wait to walk around when he saw them." Chen Lan looked at his son, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, "When I found out later, he was already full of idioms and allusions, and he actually memorized them all after hearing them once." ”

"Father, is it lively here? Erchen said that although Nangong is good, but those children of the clan are crowded together, and the good children are all bad, it is better to come here every other day to mix together, so as to cultivate and cultivate feelings. Zheng'er is the eldest son, so naturally there are rules to follow, but the two girls from Erchen were sent here, "It's a good thing to think about it." The prince grinned and hugged half of the emperor's arm, and when he saw that the emperor suddenly glanced at him when he listened, he had to add another sentence, "It's not that the son wants to rob the son-in-law with someone, the politician doesn't care, but the big girl is different, I always have to pick her father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

"Do you want to say that the emperor's daughter is also worried about getting married?"

I came out today to relax, so although the prince's hippie smile made the emperor very helpless, his heart was still relieved. To say that among so many sons, except for King Zhou, even those little princes and princesses did not dare to withdraw their coquettish and pretend to be stupid in front of his father, but the prince seemed to have figured out his bottom line, and from time to time he used some small tricks that surprised him, and his partiality made him feel like a father other than a king. Seeing the prince nodding his head again and again, he finally couldn't help laughing, and then walked into the room.

In this house, there are a son and a daughter of Luo Xu, a son and a daughter of Zhang Huixin and Dai Wenzhi, Yang Yue, the only son of Yang Jinzhou, and Zhang Zhuo, the son of the eldest princess of Anguo, all of whom have once entered the palace to see the emperor. It's just that the emperor's health in recent years is not as good as before, at most once or twice a year, plus they are all small, and the emperor is now micro-suited, and he initially found that there were many people, but no one recognized them. Although the sharp-eyed Yang Yue was telling a story, when a few adults talked softly, he gradually sensed that something was wrong when he heard the title, and immediately pulled the three boys on the side, and muttered while people were not paying attention.

When the story was finished, the children bowed their heads together. But this is not as good as the scene when I met in the palace, some called uncle and grandfather, some called aunt and grandfather, some called grandfather, and some called uncle, in short, it was a mess, and the people behind were all dumbfounded. The emperor rarely heard such a title, and the smile on his face deepened, and he personally pulled up and asked two sentences one by one, and when he finally pulled Yang Yue up, he said meaningfully: "Little guy, the ears are pointed, did you hear that I am coming?" ”

"Daddy said that a good general is one who has quick ears and eyes!" Yang Yue stole a glance at his father and mother, and saw that Yang Jinzhou was reproachful, and his mother was mostly encouraging, he suddenly became bold, "My mother also said that if you listen to it, you will be clear and biased, and you will be dark, even if you are talking, you must pay attention to what others are saying, and you can't just take care of yourself." ”

"Hahaha, good!" The emperor smiled and nodded at Yang Yue, and then rubbed his head affectionately, then turned his head to look at the six-year-old child led by King Zhou, and called someone over with a slight groan, "Jing'er, I ask you, are you willing to come here often to play?" ”

Jing'er looked at the emperor, looked at the children who were the same age as herself, and then looked at her father, King Zhou, with a little hesitation on her face, but finally shook her head: "No, Jing'er wants to accompany Daddy." ”

Hearing this, King Zhou, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly smiled, and he couldn't care about the emperor, so he stepped forward and grabbed Jing'er's hand, dragged the person back, and then looked at the emperor angrily. In the face of his son who has been the same for decades, the emperor felt pity, touched his head as if he was a child, and when he saw that King Zhou had just stopped, he couldn't help sighing, and beckoned to Chen Lan again: "Lan girl, I haven't been to the mirror garden for a long time, accompany me for a walk." ”

Chen Lan nodded at Yang Jinzhou, and stepped forward without saying a word. When the emperor stretched out his hand, she naturally took the supreme's arm and walked forward slowly. The eldest princess of Anguo, who was originally standing beside the emperor, stretched out her hand to stop King Zhou, who wanted to follow him, and stopped those eunuchs and palace maids, and then said to the others with a smile: "Let the emperor go up, they will come back in a while." ”

Although it has not been expanded, the small huā garden of Mirror Garden has become more and more prosperous after several years of careful care. Now it is the envoy of the peony in full bloom, and a few precious varieties that Chen Lan has invited a huā craftsman to take care of have bloomed into various colors, at first glance, some are delicate, some are dignified, and some are charming, and even the emperor can't help but climb the branches to stop and watch.

"I think when Fu Niang was here, my favorite was this peony."

At this time, the emperor suddenly mentioned the empress who had been deceased for several years, although Chen Lan was stunned, but he did not persuade him. She was well aware that the emperor was just looking for an audience, not a chattering exhortator. Sure enough, the emperor looked at the peony one by one, sometimes lingering for a long time, sometimes just passing by, and his mouth was still nagging about the queen's favorite varieties back then, and even remembered the eternal sentence "The national color is drunk in the morning, and the clothes are dyed at night".

It took him a moment to seem to be relieved from that melancholy, and he turned to look at the person behind him.

Now Chen Lan, who is in his early twenties, looks a little more calm than before, whether it is his appearance or temperament, he is more and more similar to the queen in his impression. Well, at the beginning of that fate, he couldn't help but squint his eyes: "The jade tiger that the queen gave you at the beginning, are you still wearing it?" ”

Although the emperor's request came suddenly, Chen Lan silently untied the sachet from his neck, took out the smooth and lovely jade tiger from it and handed it over. Seeing that the emperor was rubbing things, as if she was reminiscing about something, she wanted to take a few more steps back, but she didn't want the emperor to suddenly raise his head, so he handed the things back.

"On Qu Yong's deathbed testament, he once said a lot of unclear things to me." Seeing Chen Lan looking at him in surprise, the emperor remembered the suspicions that arose at that moment, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It's all in the past." Imperial Doctor Lin said to me, you are getting better now, if you can, you might as well add a few more younger brothers and sisters to Yue'er. He's a young and old man, isn't he lonely? ”

Speaking of this, the emperor saw that Chen Lan's face was red, and then nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "After this year, I will pass on the crown prince and enjoy the blessings." If I have time in the future, I will come to see these children here. ”

Chen Yu wanted to say that although the emperor came, the words turned into a pouting smile. Seeing that the emperor didn't think it was wrong, he turned around with his hands behind his back and walked back, and she hurriedly followed.

The crown is covered with Jinghua, and the people are alone and haggard. Long live the name, lonely after death. In her previous life, she was alone, but in this life, she not only has a husband and son, but also countless relatives and friends, and God has treated her very well. And the Son of Heaven in front of him, who seems to be rich all over the world, is the one who is really lonely, right?! ~！
