"Father, my brother and my mother are very similar, right?"
The little princess squatted on the ground, holding her little face with her hands and looking at the mother and son, who were crying and comforting each other. She raised her head and looked at the tall man beside her, and asked the question in her heart: "Father, do you really like the mother and the queen?"
What’s up—ouch!”
The man raised his finger and lightly flicked it on the little princess's forehead. Luo Xuan immediately showed a dissatisfied expression. She covered her reddish head and looked at the man with clear grievances in her eyes.
In six years, the man has completely lost his youthfulness, and he has grown into a mature father and husband - at least that's what it looks like from the outside.
"Just think about this kind of thing in your mind. If you say it, be careful not to make your mother sad." Lu Hanjiang stretched out his hand and pinched the little princess's head.
"Your hair is messed up!" The little princess glared at Lu Hanjiang dissatisfiedly, and it seemed that she had to ask clearly.
Lu Hanjiang did not answer the little princess directly, but asked her another question: "You must have seen the Yang family's boy come into the palace last time, right?"
"Yes." Luo Xuan nodded. The boy from the Yang family in Lu Hanjiangkou was the son of Yang Zhiyuan, the young minister of Honglu Temple. He was almost the same age as her.
Lu Hanjiang said: "That boy looks like he was carved out of the same mold as his father. He has a smart mind and a lovable appearance. Do you like him?"
After listening to Lu Hanjiang's words, Luo Xuan's little face bulged up like a bun. She squatted on the ground and thought for a while before saying dryly: "I don't like it."
"Why?" Lu Hanjiang's eyes were clear, as if he already knew the answer.
Luo Xuan glanced at her silly brother, then thought about the naughty boy in her memory, curled her lips and said: "Father, I seem to understand why you like the Queen Mother, this kind of silly person is cuter -
-Ouch!"
Lu Hanjiang flicked the little princess's head with his finger again: "It's good that you know this kind of thing in your heart. If you say it to make your mother unhappy, I won't help you."
The little princess was extremely dissatisfied after being slapped twice on the forehead. She glared at Lu Hanjiang resentfully and said, "Father, you have to call yourself 'me'."
"Oh, Your Highness the Princess is amazing. She dared to teach me a lesson. Unfortunately, I am the emperor, so I can shout whatever I want." As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang gave the little princess another snap of his fingers.
"Father! You've beaten my head so hard!" the little princess complained with tears in her eyes. Seeing that Lu Hanjiang didn't react at all, she immediately put away her tears.
"Bad Father!"
Luo Xuan stuck out her tongue at Lu Hanjiang, then cried and threw herself into Yongle's arms, pushing the confused little prince aside.
Looking at Yongle's look for help, Lu Hanjiang shook his head helplessly. These two children were like this, and he couldn't control them anyway.
"His Majesty."
Cao Shun's figure quietly appeared behind Lu Hanjiang, and he whispered: "The master is here and is waiting in the front hall."
The little eunuch's words successfully made the emperor's face darken. Lu Hanjiang said impatiently: "Why is he here again? Is he going to tell me about his departure from the palace last time?"
Last time the matter was urgent, Lu Hanjiang sneaked out of the palace without saying hello, but this made the ministers very nervous. What they were most worried about actually happened, and the emperor gradually began to approach in an unreliable direction.
Luo Yuanjing, as the emperor's master, was naturally the most annoyed. Because of this incident, he had been going to the palace to talk to the emperor for a month in a row, which made Lu Hanjiang's head grow bigger.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Old Master Luo was so angry. If you think about it, in the previous generation, the three generations of the royal family were unreliable. First there was an emperor who cultivated immortality and sought immortality, then there was a prince who faked his death and wandered around the world, and there was another
The grandson who uses sages’ books as toilet paper.
What's even worse is that these three people were all taught by Luo Fuzi. When he thinks that a hundred years from now, these unreliable guys will have "his teacher Luo Yuanjing" in their biographies - the old master's head starts to get bigger.
.
However, Master Luo entered the palace today not because he wanted to cause more trouble for Lu Hanjiang. Facing a piece of rotten wood that he was too lazy to carve, the old master was speechless. If he had a choice, he would not want to teach such a bastard thing.
Fortunately, God was merciful. After three generations of unreliable royal family, the fourth generation finally ushered in a change. This little prince Luo Ding was the one that everyone in the court was optimistic about.
Although the little prince is still young now, his character has already made many ministers feel that he has a bright future after seeing him grow up at the age of three.
Judging from the current situation, the little prince's character can be summed up in two words - benevolence and weakness.
Although as an emperor, being benevolent and weak means that he is indecisive and may not be able to do big things, but now that the world is at peace and the world is stable, it would be inappropriate to have an ambitious emperor.
When the emperor is strong, his ministers are weak. Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for an emperor to be too strong. For example, this time Lu Hanjiang abandoned the court and ran away because the emperor's power was so great that the courtiers could not restrict him at all.
This time he just acted recklessly without following the rules, but it didn't cause any damage to the court. If the emperor's head gets hotter next time, they can't guarantee what trouble will happen.
The key is that they were unable to stop the emperor through effective means, which was what made the courtiers uneasy.
And if the young prince Luo Ding placed the expectations of Luo Fuzi and the courtiers, then the young princess Luo Xuan is on the other extreme.
Although the emperor didn't teach the little princess much, Luo Xuan became more and more like the emperor, but at just five years old, she was already so angry that Luo Fuzi couldn't eat.
Luo Fuzi's liver ached again when he thought that in the future, his name as a teacher would be recorded after the princess's name in the history books.
"His Majesty."
Luo Fuzi saluted Lu Hanjiang. After the two met, they each had a stinking look on their faces, presumably not wanting to see the other.
"What's the matter, Grand Tutor?" Lu Hanjiang's tone was a little hopeless. He didn't really want to talk to this old man, but he still had to watch the stall in the imperial court, so he had to pinch his nose no matter how unhappy he was.
"Today, I'm here to talk to Your Majesty about Princess Hua Luan. The princess is still young and has an unstable temper, which is understandable. She just needs to be taught well," Luo Fuzi said.
Lu Hanjiang pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a helpless tone: "The master is the princess's teacher. It is you who have the final say on how to teach her."
This made the old master angry again. If it weren't for your doting parents, why would he be so tired of spoiling a girl?
"Forget it, I will go to the Queen to discuss the princess matter later."
The old master sighed, and then his expression became a little darker: "I heard yesterday that Mr. Cui of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, closed down several of the Chen family's shops in Beijing."
"That's what happened."
Lu Hanjiang nodded. Ying Wushang had told him about this matter. He didn't care much about the following matters anymore. It was just for fun.
"Why, do you think this is inappropriate, Master?" Lu Hanjiang looked at Master Luo and asked.
Since he ascended the throne, the family's power has been severely suppressed, and it is now pitifully weak. In the past year or two, many people in the court thought that it was almost enough, and there was no need to kill them all.
Lu Hanjiang thought that Luo Fuzi thought the same way, but he didn't expect that the result was exactly the opposite.
"Your Majesty, if you want to do it, then do it."
Luo Fuzi said calmly: "Since Mrs. Chen has thoughts that she shouldn't have, why not use this to scare the monkeys."
