The crown princess has not been decided, Liu Yu is very uneasy in his heart, not to mention that Feng Yao is not the first choice, which makes Liu Yu a little headache, and Liu Yu himself doesn't know what he will do if his Yao'er is pointed out to others......

Liu Yu, who had a plan, put on a somewhat haggard face the next day.

"Prince, you have to pay attention to your body......" Mama Rong looked at her little master's face with some distress.

Liu Yu nodded and said softly: "On the day of my father's birthday, I just came to the south, and I didn't have a good birthday, and all the things that are motivated by my father were given to me by my father. Lone wants to give his father a gift that belongs to Lone, for more than a year, his father's mood has not been very good, Lone wants his father to be happy, but Lone doesn't know if his father will like the gift that Lone gave him......"

"Prince, the emperor will definitely like it, and he will definitely ......" Mama Rong's heart suddenly softened, is it just like this? Is it really good that the crown prince completely trusts the emperor? Thinking of the gentle master who grew up with him, and thinking of the master's reluctant eyes before he died, Mama Rong felt a little sad in her heart, and at the same time decided that while the prince still trusts herself, she must help the prince deal with the affairs of Yuqing Palace, and she must not let him pay attention to trivial things in the backyard when he is so busy.

Liu Yu naturally heard the distress in Mama Rong's mouth, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "Mama, I'm a little hungry and want to eat the duck soup you made." ”

"There are some new snacks here, you pad your stomach first, and then the slave maid will send you to the study." Mama Rong hurriedly replied.

"Well, Xiao Shi just entered the study, and a few little princes are impatient to be hungry......" After saying it softly, Liu Yu left, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, Yao'er, will she adapt to this kind of frightening harem career?

Looking at the back of the prince striding away, Mama Rong said to Mi Youqiao distressedly: "Grandpa Mi, you persuade the prince more, his filial piety The emperor must know, now the prince is still young, it is the time to grow his body......"

#####################################################

"You said that the crown prince asked people to send soup to the princes?" After Emperor Kang Qian heard that the crown prince had sent hot soup to several princes who were studying in the study today, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, why didn't he have his own?

"Back to the emperor, the prince got up this morning and suddenly wanted to drink the soup stewed by Mama Rong, and I thought that the tenth prince had just entered the study, and I was afraid that I would not be used ......to it" Cao Shaoqin felt that he should give the prince a wake-up call now, but then he thought that the proud little master might not appreciate it, so he said: "This year, the emperor's birthday just returned from the southern tour, and the prince felt that he didn't give you a good birthday, so the slave inquired, and the prince has always wanted to give you a copy of his own hand...... A surprise for you. ”

"You stupid minion!" Emperor Kang Qian's eyes lit up, but he kicked Cao Shaoqin, and scolded angrily: "The prince wants to surprise me, why do you want to say it like a dog slave!" ”

"Minions should die, minions should die!" Cao Shaoqin hurriedly knelt on the ground, his legs ached, and his heart was depressed.

"Ahem...... Okay, okay, hurry up and take the medicine, next time you can't talk so much! Emperor Kang Qian also knew that his feet were not light, and he was sympathetic to the slave in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart what gift the precious prince would give him? Would you like to inquire? Forget it, this kid wants to surprise me, so don't ask. Half a month ago, on the prince's birthday, did the prince like the things he sent?

Back in his room, Cao Shaoqin sighed, knowing that he had done it, wiped the medicine sent by the little eunuch on his leg, vigorously rubbed away the bruises, rested for a while, and when he was about to go back to duty, he received a plate of snacks from the emperor again. Cao Shaoqin couldn't cry or laugh, he sincerely hoped that the father and son would stop making trouble, otherwise it would be those of them who were waiting underneath who would suffer!

The concubines were not allowed to send food to the study, because Emperor Kang Qian was afraid that his sons would be distracted, and he also had time to control the meal. However, if you do not complete your homework or are being punished for reading and writing by the beginning of the meal, you must get permission from the master to eat, and the attendants are not allowed to urge you, even when school is out. In addition to eating, there are one or two recesses every day, each time not exceeding a quarter of an hour, and with the permission of the master, it is not allowed to wander outside the hospital at other times.

A few young people couldn't bear to be hungry at all, but they didn't dare to be different, so they could only eat some snacks to satisfy their hunger, so Liu Yu asked people to send soup over. The youngest Yin? Blinking his little eyes, after Liu Yu returned to the upper study, he immediately ran over and asked during the break, "Brother Prince, is there any more Ming'er?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "You go and mention it to your father, right?" ”

Abundant? Frowning pitifully, he said, "Brother Prince, I'm hungry!" ”

"Okay, if you study hard, Ming'er Gu will make an exception for you again!" Liu Yu was Yin? Looking a little depressed, I finally relieved myself, and when I took a break between breakfast and lunch, let's get him something to eat! Although there are ambitious and coveting the throne among their "brothers", there are also idlers who have no ambitions and can get by.

Abundant? His eyes lit up, and he said, "There are also starlings and nine brothers......"

"Inch by inch!" Liu Yu said angrily: "The rules of going to the study are set by your father, you are not used to it when you first come, if everyone has no rules like you, why do you want your father to set these rules?" ”

Abundant? looked at Liu Yu, and then at the Nine Emperor Princes on the side, Yin Yu, thought for a while, and said, "I know, I don't want the Ninth Brother without me." ”

Liu Yu was stunned, and looked at Yin with some complications? glanced at it, and then said slowly: "This way lives up to the emperor's grace!" ”

Liu Yu now has to continue to receive education in addition to going to court with the emperor and participating in political affairs. At this time, I didn't think much about it, the rest time had come, and Liu Yu began to devote himself to learning again, and he recently studied "Zizhi Tongjian". Of the two hundred and ninety-four volumes, he has now learned one hundred and ninety-one volumes, and he has read this masterpiece of historiography no less than ten times, but Liu Yu has not accelerated the progress, and each article has been repeatedly re-speculated and re-understood from different angles. There is no end to learning, and this is something he deeply understands.

Liu Yu's serious attitude was strongly supported by Emperor Kangqian, and his son loved to learn, which was excellent in Emperor Kangqian's opinion. Because of this, the original decision of Emperor Kang Qiandi to leave the study after the prince was fifteen years old was put on hold, but fortunately, his son was not very old, and it would not hurt to study for a few more years.

Since it was revealed that he would give a gift to Emperor Kang Qian, Liu Yu naturally would not break his promise, sat at the desk, spread out the paper, and drew the time with Emperor Kang Qian in Yin Ren's memory little by little, and attached the scene at that time:

When he was young, Emperor Kang Qian personally helped Yin Ren to enlighten; When he was five years old, he had smallpox, and Emperor Kang Qian's resignation took care of Yin Ren on the twelfth day; Every day, no matter how busy he is, he must care about Yin Ren's reading, teach him homework, listen to him recite ancient texts, talk about his reading experience, write words, compose, and write poems, and personally give Yin Ren a lecture; When he was a child, every time he hunted and cruised, Emperor Kang Qian always took Yin Ren with him and taught him carefully at any time; The prey of the first hunt is specially made into food, and the father and son eat it together; After Liu Yu replaced Yin Ren, all the preparations for going out of the cabinet to give lectures were also made by Emperor Kang Qiandi himself, even if Liu Yu didn't really need it, but let an emperor who had every opportunity do this, Liu Yu knew that his father-son relationship was sincere and strong......

The ten paintings express the strong family affection between father and son, Liu Yu did not hide his clumsiness, all expressed the meaning he wanted to express, after the painting, he asked people to get the painting scroll, and framed the painting himself, even the paste was made by himself. Of course, during this period, I also tried other painting papers, and after success, I framed the ten paintings I made for Emperor Kangqian.

Liu Yu, who Emperor Kang Qian, had been paying attention to, of course, also noticed the wound on his hand, and he was very distressed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. After Liu Yu found a kung fu and shyly gave his gift to Emperor Kang Qian, Emperor Kang immediately took his son's hand distressedly and said: "Let my father see your hand, you kid, why are you so careless, everything depends on you personally, what do you want those slaves to do?" ”

Liu Yu withdrew his hand, and then said with a smile: "Some time ago, on my son's birthday, my father sent a pair of words, and my son was very embarrassed at that time, because of my father's birthday, all the congratulatory gifts for my son's advancement were given to my son...... Take a look at it first, although the gift is meager, but it is prepared by your son, do you see if your son's painting skills have improved? ”

Emperor Kang Qiandi opened the scroll and looked at it one by one, and his eyes immediately turned red, and the scene inside also made him remember the purpose, and said with a slight emotion: "My prince has really grown up......

"No matter how old your son is, it's not still your son, if you can, your son would rather not grow up, how good he was when he was a child, he can tell you everything he wants, and it's not easy to open his mouth like now." Liu Yu blushed and muttered.

Emperor Kang Qian was amused by Liu Yu and laughed, and said: "Don't you say it all, no matter how big you are, you are still my son, and you can always tell me what you want." ”

"That son wants you to go out with him, and the last time I went out with you was a year ago." Liu Yu immediately put forward his own request.

Emperor Kang Qian agreed to Liu Yu to go out of the palace with him, originally thought it would be an easy thing, but when Liu Yu accompanied him to finish the matter at hand, it was not early, so Emperor Kang Qian told Liu Yu to go out with him the next day, although Liu Yu said that he was not in a hurry, but Emperor Kang Qian still saw the expectation in his eyes.

The next day, just after the next day, Emperor Kang Qian, before he changed his clothes, there was a report from the Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine fainted, and he had already asked for a doctor. Liu Yu immediately said sensibly: "Father, you can go out at any time, now hurry up and see Concubine Tong!" Emperor Kang Qian nodded casually, and then took Liu Yu and rushed to Chengqian Palace.

Liu Yu hung his head behind Emperor Kangqian, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he knew that Emperor Kangqian was very busy for a while, and he also knew that the imperial concubine would fall ill in the next two days. Therefore, Emperor Kang Qian may not have time to fulfill his promise to himself, so he has little hope. If it can be done, it is not bad to strengthen the relationship between father and son, if there is no time, it will also make Emperor Kang Qian feel guilty, he just asked for such a simple request and he didn't do it...... Guilt is a thing that can achieve great things if it's controlled properly.

When he arrived at Chengqian Palace, when he saw Yin Zhen with red eyes, Liu Yu stepped forward to stop him from saluting, and comforted: "Fourth brother, don't be sad, my father is here, and Concubine Tong will be fine." ”

Yin Zhen nodded with red eyes, Emperor Kang Qiandi sighed, his heart was also a little blocked, he and the imperial concubine have also been friends for many years, the imperial concubine has helped him deal with harem matters for so many years, and she is also his cousin, and she has always understood herself best, watching her come to the end of her life day by day, this feeling really makes him feel uncomfortable.

"How is your lord doing now?" Emperor Kang Qiandi asked with a gloomy face.

"If you go back to the emperor, the imperial doctor has already given your master a diagnosis. Say yes...... said that he was the master, and he had to take care of it. It was the powerful Mama Gui beside the imperial concubine who replied.

Emperor Kang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and knew that he should be rescued at this time. He knew that the imperial concubine's body had already been hollowed out, so he nodded, lifted the curtain himself, and entered the inner room. Emperor Kang Qian accompanied her for a long time in front of the imperial concubine's bed, and even after she woke up, he personally gave her medicine and comforted her softly.

"I ...... It's not useful...... Body bones,...... ...... Be...... Mistaken about my cousin. After the imperial concubine woke up, she was as gentle as ever, she already knew that she couldn't last long, so she had to use her last energy to leave a good impression on Emperor Kangqian, so as to benefit her family after she left.

Emperor Kang Qian's heart softened, stepped forward to hold down her move to get up, and said: "You are my cousin, no one in this palace can cross you, I have you in my heart, you are good, I can deal with the government without distractions!" ”

"Cousin, it's been more than 20 years, I'm ...... Willful, not following the rules, always feeling different, but you haven't said a word about me, it's all up to me and spoiling me...... In my heart...... You've always been the ...... you were back then That one...... My cousin who picked the flowers, cousin...... It's worth it in my life, it's really worth it, with you, with Zhen'er, it's really enough......" The imperial concubine paused word by word, with tears in her eyes, panting and saying slowly: "My cousin loves me so much, but I can't accompany you to Baishou, and I can't even give birth to children for you, cousin, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......

knew what the imperial concubine wanted, but he couldn't give it, because he was not only her cousin and husband, but also the king of a country, and he already had an outstanding prince, and he really didn't need another noble prince. Emperor Kang Qian couldn't bear it, and said with guilt: "Cousin, you are not sorry for me, I ...... I'm ashamed of you! ”

The imperial concubine shook her head and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't need to feel guilty, I understand, really understand......" As she spoke, the imperial concubine closed her eyes, the corners of her lips raised slightly, but tears flowed down from her closed eyes. There is no woman in the palace who can't act, no matter how bitter her heart is, the expression on her face can be controlled. The emperor is ruthless, didn't he already know it? So it really doesn't hurt at all!

Coming out of the Chengqian Palace, Emperor Kang Qian was obviously silent a lot, Liu Yu followed behind him, followed by Yin Zhen, and the two did not speak. Liu Yu was pulled by Yin Zhen, and helped him say what he thought: "Father, the fourth brother wants to serve Concubine Tong in Chengqian Palace for a while......

Emperor Kang Qian looked back and saw the prince looking at Yin Zhen with a distressed face, Yin Zhen was not a child anymore, he had already understood what was going on with his adoptive mother, and the sadness in his eyes was also very strong. Nodding, Emperor Kang Qiandi complied with their request.

Liu Yu smiled and said to Yin Zhen: "It is very important to take care of Concubine Tong, but your body is also very important, you can't be picky eaters, and you must match meat and vegetables properly." You can't give up your studies, and you will be ordered to send your daily homework to Chengqian Palace. ”

"The prince is right, if you don't do what the prince told you, I won't let you stay in Chengqian Palace anymore, you know?" After reading it, Emperor Kang Qian was relieved, and once again made a firm decision in his heart, echoing Liu Yu's words, and said to Yin Zhen.

ordered the little eunuch Sandezi to send Yin Zhen back to the prince's place to pack up his things and then go to Chengqian Palace, but Emperor Kang Qian did not return to Qianqing Palace, but took the prince to stroll in the imperial garden. "I broke my promise and didn't take you out, but I complain?" In the imperial garden, looking at the purple and red flowers, Emperor Kang Qian suddenly asked.

Liu Yu shook his head, but said slightly disappointed: "How come?" My father didn't mean it. Besides, there are many opportunities to go out, but it's just that the previous relationship between Concubine Tong and Xiaosi made her son a little envious. ”

"......" Emperor Kang Qian didn't expect to hear his son's answer, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Liu Yu was silent for a while and asked, "Father, what kind of woman is the queen mother?" Can you tell me about your son? ”

Emperor Kang Qiandi was a little distracted by his son's words, what is the queen like? He seems to have some can't remember clearly, but he remembers that it was a woman who accompanied him through the most difficult years, that woman fought her life and gave birth to such an excellent prince for herself, and there seemed to be nothing bad about the queen in his impression, but what was good in the end, he couldn't say it clearly, but he still remembered the fiery red, red palace, the dignified woman in a phoenix dress, the woman who always looked at him with a smile.

"Your queen mother...... She is a woman who always puts a smile on her face, no matter how difficult it is for me, but when I see the smile on her face, I feel that nothing can defeat me. She is beautiful, dignified and generous. Emperor Kang Qian looked at his son's expectant eyes and said slowly.

After Liu Yu heard this, he showed a knowing smile and said, "It's the same as the queen mother that my son thinks." ”

"How did you come up with that?" He had never discussed this issue with his son, and Emperor Kang Qiandi was interested, and he wanted to know what the prince thought.

"The son goes to Fengxian Hall every year to see the queen mother, but the portraits of the Fengxian hall are honestly almost the same, and the son can only guess what the queen mother looks like according to those slight differences! Even more because I heard the old mothers in the palace mention that the son has seven points like his father and three points like his mother, and sometimes the son will look at his own appearance in the mirror and imagine what the queen mother is like! The son thinks that the queen mother will be gentle, even if the son is naughty, he will not be angry, and will reprimand his son with a smile......" Liu Yu had tears in his eyes and a slight longing.

"The prince ......" Liu Yu was the first to tell Emperor Kang Qiandi his thoughts, and Emperor Kang Qiandi was even more distressed, when his mother left, he was already nine years old, so the appearance of the queen mother and the warmth of the pulse when they got along with each other still existed in the depths of Emperor Kangqian's memory, but his prince was born without a mother, and the mother in his heart can only be imagined. A young man's sincere thoughts about his mother who he had never met made Emperor Kang Qiandi extremely moved.

Liu Yu saw Emperor Kang Qian's appearance, and he also knew that it was almost there, so he smiled and said: "Father, don't worry about your son, your son just wants to talk to you about his heart, although his son sometimes thinks about his mother, but his son knows that his life is exchanged for his own life by his mother!" My great-grandmother once told her son that she should cherish his life, because it carries the greatest maternal love in the world. The son is very happy, not only has the best mother, but also the best father, your nurturing of your son, as well as so many years of protection and teaching of your son, the son has always remembered it. ”

Emperor Kang Qian looked at Liu Yu's appearance, and at the same time, he was a little relieved and a little moved, but more proud, this is the prince he is most proud of! Even if he is in a high position, even if he is talented, he is still not tempted by the outside world, and he still does not change his pure heart, such an excellent son is his own.

####################################################

For several days, Emperor Kang Qiandi had to go to see the imperial concubine, so he couldn't fulfill his promise to Liu Yu, looking at the imperial concubine like this, even if it was better, she still couldn't get out of bed, and even the imperial doctor had already told Emperor Kang Qian, it could only be delayed for about two months at most.

While the imperial concubine was alive, a draft must be conducted, and Emperor Kang Qiandi handed over the draft work to the tenth prince Yin? 's biological mother Guifei hosted it, and the four concubines of Huirong Yide co-organized, and even the palace affairs were divided. After Liu Yu transferred Mi Youqiao and gave some guidance to Mama Rong, he continued to go to court, attend classes, and study politics with Emperor Kangqian.

Rong Mama is the queen's own person left to the prince, in Yuqing Palace, and Liu Yu is the most trusted, she knows the secret pile arranged in the palace before the queen leaves, although it is not clear why the prince gave such an order, but Rong Mama still decided to make arrangements according to what Liu Yu said, she knows that her master has always been with the prince.

"Mama, the progress can be slow, but there must be no mistakes." Liu Yu finally mentioned another sentence.

Mama Rong nodded, she understood this, but at the same time, she knew that she had to be good and not leave any handle for the prince.
