There are relatively few things in the New Year, so Zhu Houzhao spends more time in the harem.

Take your son and tease your daughter, and the heavenly family can't have no warmth at all.

Zai Yan and Zai Yan will be ten years old after the New Year, and in this year when someone got married at the age of eleven or twelve, in fact, these two children are already somewhat sensible.

The emperor took them to draw a bow and shoot arrows in the martial arts arena in the palace, and Zhu Houzhao thought that Zai Yuan had more strength, even those longer guns he could raise and turn around twice.

Zhu Houzhao also wore a suitable tight-fitting outfit and juggled with them.

"Ouch, my little ancestor, you have to slow down, don't hurt your hands." The emperor was not nervous, but the eunuchs were very nervous, and they were a little worried when they saw that Zai Yan couldn't pull the bow and had to pull hard.

Zai Yan's face was flushed, and he didn't seem to have much strength.

Zhu Houzhao is not like Zhu Di, he likes his son very much, and he is very disgusted with his own son, he comes from later generations, and his own sons are the same for him, he is not suitable to be an emperor, and he can do other things.

Can't all be wise and martial, as if the gods descended to earth, how many dragon chairs are there enough for them to sit?

So he still squatted down and rubbed Zaiyan's face, and said with relief: "You are still young, it doesn't matter if you can't pull it away now, eat more, grow more strength, grow a little longer, and you will be able to pull it apart in a few years." ”

Zai was glutinous, a little aggrieved, "Dad, the child disappointed you." ”

"Dad is not disappointed. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, do it slowly, you can always do it. Zhu Houzhao wiped the sweat from his little head, "If you don't use your weapons, you can practice a few punches and kicks, Dad doesn't expect you to be brave, but your body must be strong!" ”

"Thank you, Dad! The child knows! ”

Having said that, when I turned my head to look at Zaiyuan, the difference was quite big.

They are the same age, and the time of birth is the kung fu of the two days before and after, Zai Yuan is not only half a head taller than him, but also more muscular, and he learned twice with the guards, which has begun to practice, a youthful heroism.

"Be careful!"

This is the side of the You Zhi shouting.

Zai Yuan was not particularly skilled at playing with spears, and he twisted around, and the body of the spear hit his back, frightening the two guards around him to turn pale.

Zai Yuan half-knelt on the ground, and when he raised his head again, he still had a high-spirited face.

"There's a kind of kid." Zhu Houzhao praised him, of course he would not raise the child into a soft egg who could not bear the slightest pain, but encouraged him.

Jaegen has developed this kind of self-confidence for a long time, and although he was ugly, he was even more excited when he heard his father praise him.

Later, Zai Yan and Zai Yan sat on both sides of the emperor, and the subordinates next to them gave them a few beef ribs. Zhu Houzhao said: "If you don't make chopsticks, you can save people from serving, take it yourself, and gnaw it yourself." ”

"Good!"

Zaiyuan took a big bite like a whirlwind, and his cheeks on both sides bulged out to his head.

"I didn't think it was half a year ago, but today I suddenly found that the two of you have grown up slowly, and after the spring of the New Year, follow your grandfather out of the palace to see and see, right?"

"Out of the palace?" Zai Yan and Zai Yan asked rhetorically at the same time.

"Well, out of the palace. I am the emperor, you are the prince, you are born with a mission. But I don't want you to be the kind of prince who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman, and you always have to see what it looks like outside the palace. ”

"Dad, my son is willing to go!" Jae-yun expressed excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry, there are still conditions."

"Huh? Still conditional? ”

……

……

Zaiyuan's mother was Huaixiao and was named Concubine Ning;

Zaiyan's mother was Huaiyan and was named Concubine Zhao.

Because they are sisters, they are often inseparable.

I heard that the emperor has been playing with the children today, which makes them very happy, and later the emperor also came with two living treasures, but Zaiyuan was too excited, and just came and said that he was going to leave the palace, which made Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhao very worried.

"Your Majesty," the two beauties both came to him.

"It's okay, I'll let Ping Haibo take them, nothing can go wrong. Besides, the gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and the three of us have agreed between them, and it is not easy to change. ”

"Yes, Dad is right, a man speaks, or he doesn't say it, and he has to do what he says!"

Concubine Ning glared at him, "You just be quiet, you seem to have endless strength all day long, did you teach you to be dignified and polite?" ”

"Don't train your children for the New Year. Jae-yun is very obedient. Zhu Houzhao didn't forget to touch the head of the other child, "Zai Yan is also very obedient." ”

Concubine Ning clasped her hands, "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines don't obey the holy will, it's really complicated outside the palace, and they have a very special status as princes, and the concubines are worried about ......"

"The child will always grow up, and the tiger cub under the tiger will one day go out to hunt alone, and it is impossible to protect him for the rest of his life. If there is danger outside, protect them, so what can be done in the future? ”

Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhao were very surprised that the emperor said such a thing.

Their children are actually concubines.

But I had doubts in my heart, and I didn't dare to say something.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have to explain, he pulled Zai Yan in front of him and asked, "Tell Dad, are you afraid?" ”

Jae-yan glanced at his mother blankly.

"Say whatever comes to your mind." Concubine Zhao encouraged.

"If the father can accompany the child and be by the father's side, the child will not be afraid."

Concubine Zhao was a little disappointed.

However, Zhu Houzhao laughed, "This is a filial child, and he knows how to be with his father." ”

In fact, he would be like this when he was a child, going to relatives or strange places, not liking to play with a group of children, just hiding from his parents.

"Wait, wait, I have to give something to Zaiyan, you, what do you want?"

Zai Yan thought for a while and said, "The child wants to stay with his father for another day tomorrow." ”

Concubine Zhao immediately spoke up, "The emperor has state affairs, how can he keep playing with you?" I'm really ignorant, take it back. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter. He just stays on the side to deal with state affairs, and he is well-behaved and will not cause chaos. ”

Concubine Zhao didn't know whether to be happy or worried, "Your Majesty, children can't be spoiled like this." ”

"That's not necessarily, people are different." Although Zhu Houzhao is a descendant, but for his own son, the feeling is still a little special, he pinched his little face, and said: "Ordinary people are pampered and arrogant, but Zai Yan is the most obedient, why are you obedient?" Because he knew he couldn't trouble people. ”

Zai Yan was praised and blushed a little, and he was not used to it.

"Tomorrow you come to the Qianqing Palace, I will set up a seat for you, first say okay, manly man, a spit and a nail, you have to go by yourself, if you feel bored, you have to endure it, if you want to slip away, Dad will teach people a lesson."

"No, thank you daddy!"

……

……

This incident made Zhu Houzhao reflect a little, could it be that he accompanied his children too little, so that Zai Yan wanted to stay by his side for a while in this way.

The second day of summoning the ministers was indeed very boring.

Because the old monks of the cabinet cabinet went to the next one to report some related matters for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, this kind of meeting was smelly and long, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't say a few words, just to exist as an emperor.

But the courtiers were surprised.

What does it mean that the emperor has the second son by his side?

When you leave the palace, you can't avoid some guesswork.

Liang Chu, the secretary of the ministry, said to Yang Tinghe, "I heard that the emperor's eldest son is heroic and intelligent, and he should be more favored by the emperor, why did he bring the second son for the first time?" ”

"Let's see in a few years, this matter, there's no hurry."

The emperor did not particularly favor anyone, and he did not mean to appoint a prince.

This actually made the ministers a little uncomfortable.

In court politics, Wenchen always likes to let the emperor establish a prince, and of course the country needs a prince. However, behind it is an accurate calculation of political interests, and once the emperor is successful, then this courtier is a merit in the prince's position.

The East Palace is settled, and it also saves them from entanglement and choice, the prince must be orthodox, otherwise, it is very risky in case of wrong choice, and people's instinct is to turn uncertainty into certainty.

It's a pity that there are no concubines now, and their reasons are always less, and if they put it forward rashly, it will be easily rejected, and it will offend the queen.

In the Qianqing Palace, after the courtiers finally left, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and asked Zaiyan, "How is it, is it as my father said, it is very painful?" ”

"But my father is obviously the emperor, but he didn't drive them away." Zai Yan said something ignorantly, he understood a little, but he was too young to fully figure it out.

Zhu Houzhao was slightly surprised, in fact, he, the second son of the emperor, still has some special understanding.

"Come here." He beckoned.

Zai Yan slowly pressed his hands and feet against the emperor's chest.

Zhu Houzhao said softly, "What are you doing by driving them away?" He who chatters crookedly all day long, and weeps and wails before he has done anything, is useless. You have to remember that you can achieve as much as you can put in your heart. ”

Zai Yan raised his head, for a ten-year-old child, the father at this time was like his heaven, mysterious and powerful.
