No one answered.

But in the shouts of Emperor Hongwen, the man's pace slowed down a little - he also raised his head.

There is a cliff between each other - only five or six feet apart.

At a moment, Emperor Hongwen subconsciously moved his eyes away and looked at the cliff, with endless rain and mist, and layers of trees were as green as ink in the rain.

Only in this way can the person on the other side become so hazy.

Silver-white hair and animal skin, standing under the ancient pine, like a painting from ancient times.

He was stunned for a moment and did not shout anymore.

The person opposite looked at him too.

However, he still couldn't see his face through such a wide hat, but he obviously saw Emperor Hongwen and stared at him.

Emperor Hongwen's heart trembled, as if his staring eyes were as familiar.

It seemed as if the person standing opposite him was an acquaintance.

In his too shocking mentality, he forgot to move forward - he couldn't take another step.

Just stared at the old man.

The rain suddenly became so quiet, as if the sound of raindrops blown by the wind on the bluestone slabs being splashed clearly under the ancient pine trees opposite.

The guards were still behind, which was what Emperor Hongwen asked, because whenever he walked alone on the mountain road, he felt a strange and tranquility. Today is no exception, and the guards were still behind.

He was the only one holding an umbrella, the rain, and the old man seemed to be like a dream.

He could even clearly feel the staring at the opposite side - as if he was going to summon himself, as if he was so close to his heart.

Who is the old man?

Is he a hunter from Beiwudang? But how could the hunter rashly walk into such a place? Moreover, he absolutely has no malice.

He suddenly shouted: "Old man... please stay, I want to see you..."

The guards behind heard the shouts and quickly ran up.

The old man wearing a hat immediately turned around. He was walking downhill, and the other side of his body quickly hid into the ancient pines all over the mountains.

The rain and fog are so confused that his body is in the rain curtain and can no longer be clearly seen.

Emperor Hongwen shouted again: "Old man, old man..."

However, no one answered.

"Hurry, go and catch up with that old man..."

The guards looked at him strangely: "Your Majesty, who is anyone?"

Emperor Hongwen was furious: "Just ahead! He is right in front. Go and catch up with him and say I have invited him..."

The guards looked at each other.

There was drizzle in front, back, left and right, with only pine trees and ancient cypresses; there were even very few small animals inhabited, so where would there be people?

Emperor Hongwen suddenly stopped shouting and looked at them in surprise: "Didn't you see anyone on the other side?"

The guards shook their heads one after another.

It was the cliff opposite, which looked very close, but if you really wanted to walk over, you had to go down the mountain first, and then take a detour to catch up, at least two hours.

Moreover, the mist and rain are blurred, the peaks are piled up, and the ancient pines are spread out like a huge umbrella under the cold rain, and there is no figure around.

Emperor Hongwen felt even more strange. He was sure that he was not confused by his eyes, but why didn't anyone else see it except himself?

He asked again in a deep voice: "Didn't you really see it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the little people really didn't see it."

Emperor Hongwen stood for a long time.

When I felt moved, I suddenly remembered the god Honger once said - with such silver-gray hair. I don’t know how many white-haired old people in the world, but this silver-gray color is rare.

He hurried to Cining Palace.

The stove in Cining Palace was very hot. Hong'er sat next to the stove and wrote big words. After a while, he got up to move his hands and feet. He jumped to the empress dowager's bed. He was about to check the situation, but he saw the empress dowager open.

Eyes.

"Ha, Queen Mother, are you awake?"

At that time, his hand was on Fangfei's nose, gently. This was his daily habit. As long as he saw that the Queen Mother didn't wake up for a long time, he would take his little hand to touch her breath.

Fangfei was already very accustomed to the child's actions and sat up with a smile.

Hong'er hurriedly reached out to support her: "Empress Dowager, are you going to get up?"

She shook her head slightly and held the child's hand tightly: "Hong'er, Hong'er..."

The sound was so weak, it was even more serious than when I fell off the cliff. The child was a little uneasy: "Empress Dowager, Hong'er thinks you are not getting better yet..."

She pointed to her head, scratched and bumped, as if the scars from that time had remained until now, and she was not at peace for a moment, and her head was numb because of the pain.

"Empress Dowager, do you have a headache?"

"Don't be afraid of Hong'er, it's much better now."

She pointed beside her, Hong'er stood on tiptoe and sat down on the head of the bed, close to her.

"Hong'er, have you done your homework these days?"

"Yes? Empress Dowager, these days, my father taught me to do my homework. My father also taught me to study. My father said that when the sky clears, I will take me to hunt... Empress Dowager, my father taught me to do my homework very much

It's interesting. My father knows many stories, and he teaches him better than Mr. Li..."

When Emperor Hongwen taught him to study, he mainly told stories and gave him food. When Li Chong and others taught classes, of course, they had to follow the regulations and be straightforward, and it was impossible to give him anything to eat in the middle. Therefore, the child

Of course I think the father's teaching is the best.

Fangfei saw his excited little face. These days, she could hear the child's cheerful laughter almost every day, and she was so excited that she giggled. The child's expression would not be faked - he was really happy, as if he was so happy

Big, this is his happiest time.

"The Queen Mother, will my father let Honger study in the future? "

Fangfei smiled faintly. Is this possible?

Emperor Hongwen was on a whim at this time. Will he be so patient and meticulous all his life? Moreover, an emperor who has a lot of troubles in his life can always educate his son?

"Empress Dowager, my father has brought me with me in the heavenly court..."

Fangfei stared into his erect eyes and said softly: "Hong'er, do you think it's fun to go to court?"

"It's very interesting. Every time my father comes down, he will tell me what ministers are thinking and what their ideas are going on. Hehe, my father is so powerful, and he doesn't say it, Hong'er doesn't understand at all. Queen Mother, I

I think it's so interesting to go to court..."

Fangfei closed her eyes slightly.

"Hong'er, do you like your father?"

"I like my father very much. Empress Dowager, will we all eat with my father in the future? My father said that he will accompany us every day from now on. My father also said, "When you get off, we will go back to Pingcheng together."

Play... Queen Mother, did you agree? Let's go to Pingcheng to play..." He quietly stuck to Fangfei's ear, " Queen Mother, my father cares about you very much. When you were unconscious, my father cried

… The father told Honger that he would never make you angry in the future… The Queen Mother, can you make peace with your father?”

A strong bitterness.

Fangfei suddenly felt a little panicked. The child's little mouth was still pressed against his ear, begging softly and saying nice things to his father.

Emperor Hongwen, it took him only more than half a month to completely capture the child - the child has completely turned towards him.

After a long time, she asked, "Hong'er, would you like to follow your father?"

"Of course I do. My father said that he would always treat Hong'er like this in the future. My father would not lie to Hong'er." He was a little strange again, "The Empress Dowager, my father also said that if you don't want to go to Pingcheng, he

I will stay in Beiwudang and accompany us."

Fangfei didn't say anything more.

I just patted the child's head and lay down again.

"Empress Dowager, are you tired? Do you want to drink water?"

She shook her head, "Hong'er, go and have fun."

Hong'er could not see the joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness of the adults, nor did the empress dowager agree or no; however, the empress dowager was kind and happy. He was very happy and ran out again. At this time, he heard the news: "Your Majesty is here."

He immediately went out: "Father, you are back."

"Hong'er, what are you?"

"I'm hungry. Hong'er is waiting for her father to come back for dinner."

Emperor Hongwen immediately said: "Transfer food."

Before the meal comes, Emperor Hongwen checks the child's homework first. Every time the child is checked, the child is well prepared, and he seems to never miss the homework.

Emperor Hongwen looked at it and was very satisfied. He looked behind the screen, and then quietly spoke to his son: "Hong'er, do you still remember the old Taoist priest who saved you?"
