Gabri rushed into the room like a ball of fire, but Duwei was leaning on the chair, soaking his feet in a basin of hot water. Next to him, a maid with gentle hands and feet was washing his feet. At the same time, a delicate maid washed his feet.
A hot towel was handed over, Du Wei grabbed it and wiped his face carefully.
"Brother." After Gabri ran in, he lifted the door curtain and a cold wind immediately came in.
Du Wei opened his eyes and looked at his brother, smiling slightly: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
Gabri laughed: "I heard that my sisters-in-law were coming today, so I hurried here after class. It was snowing all the way, and I suffered a lot while riding a horse."
Du Wei pointed to the chair next to him, then grabbed the tea cup on the table and handed it over. Gabri took it and swallowed it all in one gulp.
Next to him, the maid had rolled up Du Wei's trousers, and a pair of thin hands was kneading the muscles in Du Wei's legs. It is said to prevent paralyzed people from atrophying.
Although the reason for Du Wei's paralysis is quite special and he doesn't need these at all, just to show off, he still enjoys such treatment every day. After all, he is "pretending to be ill" now. God knows if there are so many servants in the family.
The eyes and ears inside.
You must know that this Duke's Mansion was given to him by Prince Chen, and the servants in it must have the eyes and ears of the royal family. After Du Wei accepted it, he simply didn't bother to screen and accepted them all.
Seeing his brother leaning on the chair weakly, Gabri's eyes suddenly turned red, and he gently pushed the maid away. He took off his long leather jacket with one hand, rolled up his sleeves, squatted in front of Du Wei, and then
He started to rub and wash Du Wei's feet.
Du Wei frowned: "You..."
"Don't underestimate me. When I was at home, when my father was seriously ill and you didn't come home, I also washed my father." Gabri said softly.
Such a sentence. Du Wei originally wanted to say something, but his heart became hot and he closed his mouth.
After a moment of silence, Du Wei said softly: "Don't worry, I just had some trouble while practicing magic, and it will be fine in a few days."
"I know." Gabri raised his head and smiled: "You are my brother, and my brother is one of the strongest men on the continent!"
The two brothers met each other and smiled, but didn't need to say anything. They understood each other's feelings instantly. Then Du Wei casually asked about things in the military academy. Du Wei was naturally unable to go to the academy these days when he was sick.
However, Yalor, the student captain appointed by Du Wei, did a good job and everyone was convinced by him. Although Du Wei was not here, the course was still going on in an orderly manner.
The two were chatting, but suddenly they heard footsteps coming from outside, and then heard the voice of the young butler Sandy: "Ah! Your Majesty, please..."
The door curtain was raised, and the little emperor of the empire, Charles, had already strode in. He was the esteemed emperor. He didn't even announce when he entered, he just walked in. Who could stop him?
Seeing the two brothers, one leaning on a chair and the other washing his brother's feet, Charlie was stunned for a moment, then took a half step back and bowed respectfully: "Teacher."
Du Wei looked at the little emperor. There was something unnoticeable in his eyes, and then he smiled: "Your Majesty is here. But I can't get up to salute you. I'm very sorry."
"What are you talking about?" Charlie quickly smiled and said, "You are my teacher, how can you let the teacher salute his disciple? You are the person I respect the most."
Du Wei smiled inwardly, "The most respect? Then where will your father be?"
I am still too young, and when I feel anxious, I will lose my sense of what I say.
Gabri didn't dare to slack off. He also got up and saluted His Majesty the Emperor. Du Wei was about to let people come in to clean up, but Charlie quickly stood up. He stopped the servant who was about to take away the foot-washing water and said sternly: "You can't disturb the teacher's schedule."
Seeing the little emperor's appearance, he was afraid that he was going to play out the show to the end. Du Wei's heart skipped a beat and he quickly winked at his brother. Gabri immediately understood and squatted down to put down Du Wei's rolled up pants. Otherwise
If so, if the little emperor got excited and knelt down to wash Du Wei's feet with his own hands, he would be in big trouble.
Charlie really meant this, but Gabri made a move first. He was stunned for a moment. Then he saw the hot towel brought in by the servant to wipe his face. He grabbed it and held it in front of Du Wei with his own hands.
Du Wei smiled coquettishly. He had already wiped his face, and this towel was brought to Gabri.
But since the little emperor wanted to play the role of a courteous corporal, he had to cooperate. As a result, although he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he still wiped his face carefully with the towel.
Later, Du Wei dismissed the servants. He understood that the little emperor suddenly came to visit today. I am afraid it was not just a visit. He had been sick for so many days, and the little emperor didn't know about it today.
Looking at the new emperor, who was famous for his youth and cleverness in the imperial capital, Du Wei sighed inwardly. This child was indeed smart, but his temper was a bit too frivolous, and... being too smart when he was young may not be a problem.
Good thing.
Jiamian has been here for more than half a year. After winter, the little emperor will be considered to be twelve years old.
For a twelve-year-old child, Charlie, who was born into the royal family and has been pampered since he was a child, has a strong body and is young and smart. He seems to be quite precocious. Judging from his appearance, he is two or three years older than his actual age.
The appearance of the ground.
The little emperor was patient at first, sat down, chatted casually with Du Wei for a while, asked about Du Wei's illness, and then missed the days when he was taught by Du Wei, and even asked
Du Wei had a few academic questions, but Du Wei understood as soon as he heard them. These so-called questions must have been made up by this kid.
He didn't give any clues and answered the questions one by one casually.
But after a while, after all, he is a young boy. How can his patience be compared with that of a man like Du Wei who has been born in two lifetimes? Charlie sat there, as if he could no longer hold his temper. He twisted his body a few times.
, changed several postures, and her little face gradually became unable to hide her thoughts.
Du Wei smiled inwardly and glanced at Gabri: "Brother, go and seal some of the jars of honey sent from the northwest last month. Your Majesty and Princess Karina have loved sweets since they were young, and they will be brought back to Your Majesty later.
"
This move that clearly pushed Gabri away made Charlie breathe a sigh of relief. When Gabri walked out of the room, Charlie immediately jumped up from his chair and bowed deeply to Duwei, with a look of eagerness on his face: "
Teacher! This disciple is really confused in his heart!!"
Du Wei sighed, but he couldn't avoid it, and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
The little emperor's eyes flashed with enthusiasm: "Teacher, how can I be a good emperor?"
Du Wei pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the position of emperor is the supreme one on the mainland. If the people on the mainland can have enough food and clothing, be immune to foreign humiliation, and the country is strong, then he will be considered a good emperor."
But this answer was obviously not what Charlie wanted to hear today. He frowned and thought for a moment: "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but what I want to ask is... an emperor. What should he do and what should he do to be regarded as an emperor?
A...good emperor, a true emperor!"
He emphasized the word "real" a little more.
This question was asked a little too hastily. It was obvious that this young man was already anxious to a certain extent. How could this kind of question be thrown out without modification?
Du Wei sighed inwardly and looked at this disciple. Suddenly a thought came to his mind: If it were that little girl Karina, no matter how anxious she was, she would not ask such inappropriate questions.
Thinking of this, Du Wei's face became a little serious and he looked at Charlie: "Your Majesty, how old are you this year?"
"After the New Year, you will be twelve years old." Charlie puffed out his chest.
Du Wei seemed to smile, his smile seemed a little unreal and illusory. His tone was as erratic as if he had no boundaries: "Your Majesty, do you know what I was doing when I was twelve years old?"
Charlie was stunned.
Du Wei asked and answered his own questions. He said calmly: "When I was twelve years old, my father sent me back to my hometown in the countryside of Luolin. I read books in the castle every day and organized the soldiers in the army to play football. In my free time
I tinkered with the hot air balloon and made a lot of noise in the castle. At that time, I remember that the old housekeeper in the castle would write to my father in the imperial capital every month, suing me severely and saying that I
Stubborn and willful."
After a pause, Duwei stared at Charlie's eyes and said in a sincere tone: "But, now that I think about it, it was almost the happiest, most relaxed and most enjoyable period of my life."
"Aren't you happy now?" Charlie frowned: "Teacher, you are now the Tulip Duke who is famous all over the continent. I'm afraid not many people on the continent don't know your name! You are already a duke at a young age.
General rank, famous strong man in the mainland, magician, genius scholar..."
Du Wei nodded, but added softly: "But now I no longer have time to play football, tinker with hot air balloons, organize the guards to gamble, or go to the woods to cause chaos.
.”
Although he spoke softly, there was sincere emotion in his tone.
It's a pity that the little emperor failed to listen to his sincere words.
There was a look of indifference on Charlie's face, and Duwei knew that his words were in vain.
"Teacher." Charlie suddenly felt something in his heart, as if he had made some determination, and spoke his true words: "Since the end of last month, I have gone out to the city to hunt every day! I go every day, taking my guards and hounds with me.
Outside the city, at first we went to the Royal Hunting Ground, but then I got tired of it and went to the woods. As of today, I have been going there for eleven consecutive days."
"It seems that His Majesty likes hunting very much." Du Wei said leisurely.
"No, I don't like it at all now!" Charlie suddenly said angrily: "To tell you the truth! Now that I think about hunting, I almost vomit! Hunting is good, but if you go for eleven consecutive days, people will get bored! Today
Hunt rabbits and hunt foxes tomorrow. For eleven days, I will take the guards out of the city at noon every day and will not come back until evening."
"Then why does Your Majesty still go?"
Charlie closed his mouth and stared at Duwei for about ten seconds before he whispered quietly in a stiff voice: "If I don't hunt, what else can I do? What else do I have?
What’s there to do?”
Seeing the anger on this young man's face, Du Wei was speechless.
But Charlie seemed to have finally found a place to vent. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "In the palace, every day is just riding a horse under the guidance of the equestrian teacher. The palace teacher teaches me to read history, or read books, or...
Wandering around the imperial garden...what else can I do? If I don't go out hunting, I'll be bored to death."
Du Wei sighed: "So, what do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"I want..." Charlie turned and stared at Du Wei closely: "Do what an emperor should do!"
A small voice, but with a strong desire.
Du Wei looked at this young man and couldn't help but sigh:
