Chu Tianchen regained his composure and said coldly: "Just treat me as selfish, at least I won't let them be hurt here." ”

"Forget it, we're satisfied to see each other, and we'll leave tomorrow." Old Prince An was depressed and said in a low voice.

Chu Yechen didn't talk, and acquiesced in Old Prince's decision.

"I'm afraid not tomorrow." Yang Qiaoyue suddenly said, "I just heard from the chief that there has been a riot in the border city recently, and there are foreign people invading, so we are here for this matter to investigate the situation in the border city, and we have to stay for a few more days." ”

The courtyard fell silent, and Chu Tianchen took the cleaned chickens into the kitchen.

After a while, a voice came from inside: "Whatever, that's your own business, anyway, there is no place to stay at home." ”

Yang Qiaoyue didn't care, as long as she stayed in Yuguan Town for the time being, first, she really wanted to investigate the matter, and secondly, she gave Old Prince An and Chu Yechen more time to think.

If they leave directly tomorrow, I am afraid that they will regret many things after returning to Jingshi.

When Old Prince An heard that there were a few more people left, he cast a grateful look at Yang Qiaoyue.

That night, they had dinner in the hut, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and Yang Qiaoyue was an outsider, so she was more comfortable communicating with them.

"Little friend, what should my sister call you?"

"Su Xuanyan, Xuanhuang Xuan, color Yan." The little boy replied in a crisp voice.

"Which book has Xiao Xuan been reading lately?"

"Shangshu, Book of Rites, Spring and Autumn, Analects, Mencius, University, Zhongyong, Book of Poetry, ......."

Yang Qiaoyue was a little surprised, these are the four books and five classics that the school has to learn, and this kid learned it at such a young age.

"Can you read it?"

Chu Xuanyan's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed: "I don't understand a little, but I will work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint my father!" ”

When he said the latter sentence, there was a resolute look in his eyes.

Chu Tianchen's always serious expression rarely showed a touch of softness, and the arrival of this child was his hope, dispelling the haze in his heart.

Yang Qiaoyue sandwiched a big chicken leg and gave it to him: "Sister believes you, it's just that the knowledge is jerky, if there is no knowledgeable master to lead the door, it is very difficult to get the true meaning of the book." ”

"Daddy and Uncle Cheng will teach me." Chu Xuanyan said a little unconfidently.

Yang Qiaoyue pointed at Old Prince An and Chu Yechen: "Xiao Xuan, we will stay in the town for a few more days, this grandfather and uncle are very knowledgeable, how about letting them teach you during this time?" Only about knowledge, not anything else! ”

The latter sentence she said was for Chu Tianchen.

Chu Xuanyan immediately looked at Chu Tianchen, Chu Tianchen knew that Yang Qiaoyue's words were referring to, compared to his own and Chu Chengcheng's knowledge, he must be far behind them, he was only 8 years old when he disappeared, and his palace studies were limited.

"Every day, I will go to school after doing my homework work." Chu Tianchen did not object this time.

Chu Chengcheng immediately whispered, "I also want to learn." ”

They have never had a teacher, and they only rely on Chu Tianchen's understanding to teach them the basics, and the more they go to the back, the more difficult it is to understand the obscure content.

Chu Tianchen's eyes softened this time and nodded: "Study hard!" ”

He was in a very complicated mood, and Yang Qiaoyue's words kept echoing in his mind, whether he was really selfish and let them stay in the border city all the time.

Old Prince An and Chu Yechen heard that Chu Tianchen did not object, of course, they immediately responded, although they are not famous Confucian scholars, but their knowledge is definitely able to be called teachers, not comparable to mountains and fields.

Being able to contact these two children alone, he will definitely be able to understand more things that Chu Tianchen is unwilling to say, which is much better than issuing an eviction order.

Chu Yechen looked at Yang Qiaoyue gently, she still had a way.

After the meal, Mr. An began to teach the two children in the courtyard.

Chu Yechen and Yang Qiaoyue went out and used the identity of Ye Jinwei to investigate the riots in the border city and let the lieutenant chief arrange a place to stay.

Mama Su was helping to clean up in the kitchen, she knew that Miss Yang asked her to talk to the eldest prince alone, so many things had happened over the years.

The hearty sound of reading outside the courtyard came, and Chu Tianchen's eyes that had been dim radiated a light, which was also what he hoped for once upon a time.

Mama Su sighed: "It's the nurse's mistake to let you stay in this city all the time, you have been talented and smart since you were a child, you shouldn't be like this." ”

Chu Tianchen retracted his gaze, the light in his eyes dissipated, and lowered his head: "Auntie is also for our safety, how can I blame you." ”

Mama Su sighed: "I always thought it was for your own good, and I didn't allow Old Prince An and King Nanping to come to see you. It was Miss Yang's words that made me wake up, how can I make a choice for you. I hope you don't blame the nurse for bringing them! ”

Chu Tianchen shook his head, he may have blamed him in his heart before, but after he became a father, especially this time when he saw Old Prince An and Chu Yechen coming, he was worried and helpless in his heart, and he understood Mama Su's reason for doing this better.

He then reacted from Mama Su's words, "Xiao Chen was named the king of Nanping? Not the Prince? ”

"No, five years ago, it was originally true, and a lot of things happened in Jingshi." Mama Su said, slowly telling her what she knew about Jingshi.

The king of Hanzhong was given death for rebellion, and Queen Xiaozhen's maiden family was implicated, and she defended her mother's family, not only did she not get leniency, but was given white silk by Emperor Xuande and hanged in Kunning Palace.

Behind it is Chu Yechen's encounter with the plague in Danzhou, the rebellion on the southern border, and the recent rebellion ......of the three princes.

Chu Tianchen was shocked, so many things had happened in Jingshi over the years, and when he heard that his mother had passed away, his tears couldn't help but fall.

"In fact, in the third year of the old slave's departure, he wanted to enter the capital to see the queen and tell her the news that His Royal Highness was still there, but unfortunately these things happened later, so I gave up, and I didn't want to go back to the border city to bring you uncertainty." Mama Su blamed herself very much.

Maybe if you live and see the queen for the last time, the eldest prince will not hesitate to choose the latter.

She was really wrong, and no one could make a choice for others, even if it was for their good.

Chu Tianchen didn't blame Mama Su, if he was really determined in his heart to know Jingshi, he didn't need her, and he could go back for so many years.

In the final analysis, it was his inner escape from reality, and his inner fear that the things of the year would happen again, but Chu Yechen was bearing all these things for him.

He was still venting his emotions, thinking that he couldn't help but laugh at himself, compared to the suffering he had suffered over the years and the dangers that Chu Yechen had experienced, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

After a long time, Chu Tianchen calmed down and rubbed his sour eyes.

They chatted about some light topics, and Chu Tianchen asked, "Is that girl Xiao Chen pleasing to her?" Who's the girl? ”

Mama Su was stunned for a moment, she hadn't paid attention to it in the Yang family for so long, but she didn't expect the eldest prince to see it after only a few hours together.

"Don't be surprised, after all, I am a family person, and a person's eyes will not deceive." Chu Tianchen said.

Mama Su nodded: "She is the eldest daughter of Lord Yin Yang's family, and Lord Yang is Lord Yang Jiapei, a jinshi when His Royal Highness was in Beijing." ”

Time is too long, Chu Tianchen has no impression, but just looking at this girl's bearing and behavior, he knows that it is extraordinary.

"Xiao Chen's vision is good, just because she asked you to stay, you can see that she is thoughtful and smart."

The two were chatting, and Yang Qiaoyue and Chu Yechen came back outside the door.

They had already asked the lieutenant chief to arrange a place to settle on the side, the sound of reading in the courtyard stopped, and Chu Tianchen and Mama Su also came out of the kitchen.

Yang Qiaoyue and Chu Yechen both felt that Chu Tianchen's attitude seemed to have changed, and they no longer looked rejected.

"Good work." Chu Tianchen said, and then beckoned, asking Chu Xuanyan and Chu Chengcheng to shout.

"Xuan Yan, call Uncle Chen and Uncle Zeng."

"Cheng Cheng, you will call Brother Chen and ......." Chu Tianchen paused, and he didn't know what to ask Chu Chengcheng to call Prince An.

It stands to reason that he should be called Daddy, and the old prince An was old and had a son, but unfortunately these things happened, and I don't know how to introduce them.

Old Prince An's eyes were moist, and he hurriedly said, "Call Ah Gong." ”

"Ah Gong, Brother Chen."

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Great."

The two children shouted each other in unison, and this was the official meeting.
