The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 353

[Chapter 353: Are they the same person?]

The next day, Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Chu looked at the memorial in front of him and shook his head.

My two troubled sons, if only one of them has half the talent of the other, they may not want to engage in intrigues, but focus on dealing with practical matters.

It’s not like to this day, a suitable successor cannot be decided.

“What happened to the Hundred Volume Building?”

Emperor Chu asked casually while reviewing the memorial in front of him.

Behind him, Liu Cheng hurriedly replied: “Replying to your majesty, Baijuan Tower has been closed down. The shopkeeper of Baijuan Tower has been imprisoned in the dungeon according to the law for slandering His Highness Prince Kang, waiting to be asked.”

Emperor Chu nodded and raised his head. He glanced at Liu Cheng and asked: “How is the Queen Mother’s health recently?”

Liu Cheng said respectfully: “The Queen Mother is in good health. She is being taken care of by the doctors from the Imperial Medical Office, and her spirits are much better than before.”

Emperor Chu Emperor General With the last memorial in his hand, the examiner of the provincial examination in the capital was confirmed, and he stood up and said: “I have been busy dealing with the affairs of the provincial examination during this period, and I haven’t paid greetings to the Queen Mother for some days.

Let’s go to Yongshou Palace.”

Liu Cheng said hurriedly: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, he shouted in a high-pitched voice: “Come to Yongshou Palace!”

Emperor Chu arrived at Yongshou Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the Queen Mother lying on the rocking chair, basking in the sun.

Next to her, a pretty maid held a book in her hand and was reading to the Queen Mother.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.

When he was young, the Queen Mother always taught him to read more and told him that there is no limit to the sea of learning.

Therefore, until he became emperor, he would take some time every day to review scriptures.

No matter how busy I am, there is never a day without reading.

He also did not expect that the Queen Mother was already so old, her eyesight was dazzled and she could not read clearly, and she still wanted a palace maid to read to her.

Mother’s love for the world is as it should be.

Liu Cheng wanted to report to the Queen Mother that the emperor was here.

Emperor Chu stopped him before he could speak.

He walked to the side of the Queen Mother, leaned down to greet her, and whispered: “Mother, my son and I send you my regards.”

The Chu State ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety.

Although the emperor is a king, he is also the son of the queen mother.

Therefore, he still bowed his head in front of the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard the voice of Emperor Chu, a smile appeared on her old face. She waved her hands and said, “Here, sit down.”

“Yes, Queen Mother.”

Emperor Chu moved the chair in front of the Queen Mother like a child. Sit next to her.

“How is your mother’s health lately?”

Emperor Chu sat next to the Queen Mother, and his first words were about her health.

After all, the Queen Mother is already old. In this era when the average life expectancy is less than fifty years old, someone as old as the Queen Mother is already considered to be blessed.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: “The Ai family has very good health, so the emperor does not need to worry.

But the emperor, I heard that you stay in the Yangxin Hall every day and deal with government affairs day and night?”

Emperor Chu replied: ” As the emperor, I bear the heavy burden of the people of the world, and I don’t think about the people of the world and the inheritance of my ancestors every day, so I don’t dare to slack off at all.”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded happily and said. : “This is what a king should do.”

After finishing speaking, he paused and then said: “But, as an emperor, you must also pay attention to your health. If you are exhausted, good things will turn into bad things.

Go out for a walk occasionally It’s good to take some time to relax after leaving.”

Emperor Chu nodded and said, “I understand.”

The Queen Mother said again, “By the way, I heard that Prince Ning and Prince Kang came to the palace yesterday?

” , Emperor Chu’s face became a little unsightly, he nodded and said: “Yes.”

The Queen Mother sighed: “These two children didn’t even know they came to see the Emperor’s grandmother when they entered the palace. I remember when they were young. , how cute it is to be surrounded by them.

Now that they have grown up and become kings, they can only see each other a few times a year. The Ai

family knows that they are princes now and have a lot to do, and the Ai family does not blame them. As long as they are in good health and know that they are helping each other, the Ai family will be content.”

Help each other.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu’s face became even more ugly.

As long as the siblings don’t kill each other, that’s great.

When the Queen Mother mentioned these children, she had a happy expression on her face and continued: “There is also Hao’er, he is still young. As the royal brothers, King Kang and King Ning should take more care of him.

Oh, one more thing, That day Hao’er came to the Ai family and said he wanted to leave the palace to find his master. The Ai family didn’t agree and asked him to go to his father,

but he didn’t dare because he was afraid that you would beat him and scold him

at such a young age .

, King Kang and King Ning were in front of him to protect him from the wind and rain. Some things should not be as harsh as before.

He’s just a child. If he wants to go out to play, let him go out. It’s not a big deal if he sends more guards. What do you think about the Ai family? Emperor, are you right? “

When Emperor Chu heard about Hao’er’s report to the Queen Mother, he burst into laughter and replied: “What the Queen Mother said is true, and I have remembered it. “

Hao’er did tell him a few days ago that he wanted to leave the palace to find his master.

However, at that time, Fang Xiu was developing Heaven’s Punishment at the Youyu Linwei. For his safety, he did not agree. He did

not expect , turned around and went to the Queen

Mother to plead for mercy. Thinking of this,

the child Chu Huang had a smile on his face.

Only Haoer’s childish heart could give him some comfort and make him realize that there is still some warmth in this imperial family.

At this time, the Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something again. She raised her eyes, looked at the emperor, and asked: “Who is Hao’er’s master? Why haven’t the Ai family heard of it from you? “

When Emperor Chu heard this, he originally wanted to say that the prince was young and ignorant, and he recognized his master casually, so it didn’t count.

But then he thought about it. Both he and Concubine Shu knew that Hao’er recognized Fang Xiu as his master. , Although he didn’t agree, he didn’t refuse either.

Wouldn’t it be more childish if he said that,

so he said, “It’s Bo An Ping’s son, his name is Fang Xiu. “

Fang Xiu,”

the Queen Mother murmured, “The Ai family seems to have heard of this name somewhere.” “

After a moment, she seemed to remember something. She looked at the palace maid next to her who was reading to her before, and asked: “Xiao Xiao, who wrote the book you just read to the Ai family? “

The palace maid named Xiaoxiao was slightly startled when she heard the Queen Mother’s words. Then she hurriedly turned the book to the first page and replied: “Reporting to the Queen Mother, my name is Fang Xiu.”

After receiving this answer, the Queen Mother showed a smile on her old face. , looked at the emperor and said: “I wonder if this Fang Xiu and the Fang Xiu you mentioned are the same Fang Xiu? “

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was startled. He looked at the book in the hands of the palace maid. There were clearly visible words on the cover: Produced by Zhuxuanzhai.

In an instant, he felt a little bad.
