The joy of having a younger brother about to be born has disappeared for Hu'er. He didn't understand what happened, but he discovered very keenly that everyone in the palace was not in high spirits, and no one dared to laugh.
Even when facing themselves, those people who used to always bend over and smile coquettishly now have a straight face, no, a bitter face.
He could no longer see or hear the joy and laughter surrounding him, which made Hu'er very confused. He had killed people before, but he didn't know what the so-called killing meant, causing harm to the other person?
What about the so-called death? No one has taught it to him. He knows the term death, but he may not understand its concept.
For several days in a row, he played in the East Palace. These eunuchs got the emperor's order and played with the prince with all their strength. No matter what the prince wanted to play, whether it was fighting or archery, the emperor allowed it. The eunuchs understood the emperor's thoughts.
, he didn't want Hu'er to fall into this kind of grief. Every day, the emperor would come to visit Hu'er, and occasionally play with him for a while.
Hu'er didn't expect that his father, who stayed in Houde Hall for a long time and never came out, would be so good at swordsmanship. The two of them played with wooden swords, but Hu'er was never a match for his father.
My father could always subdue him easily, and it was hard to tell how much force he used. This made Hu'er very frustrated. Hu'er even secretly asked Qi Yue.
Qi Yue told him that what his father practiced was battlefield swordsmanship, which was taught by his master. It is said that his master was a warrior on the battlefield who had guarded the border for decades.
After killing countless thieves, my swordsmanship became more and more sophisticated. There were no redundant movements. It was a swordsmanship born just for killing. My father had been practicing hard for more than 20 years.
This made Hu'er secretly make up his mind to practice the marksmanship and sword skills taught by Ye Ye, and he would never be defeated so easily again.
After staying in the East Palace all day, Hu'er gradually became a little irritable. He didn't want to continue playing anymore. He missed Ye Ye a little. Everyone in the palace refused to reveal what happened, and no one let him go out.
, Hu'er could only go to the harem to find his mother, but for some reason, his mother would hug him and cry bitterly when she saw him, crying extremely sadly.
Hu'er also cried.
He loved his mother very much and couldn't bear to see her in such pain. He didn't know why her mother was so sad. All he could do was cry with her. He was also a little scared in his heart. He always felt that something had happened.
He learned something that he didn't know, and everyone seemed to be hiding it from himself.
The days passed like this. On weekdays, he practiced swordsmanship in the East Palace, and occasionally visited his mother. Gradually, her mother stopped crying, but her body became weaker and thinner. Only her belly was bulging. He secretly
Hearing the imperial doctor's order, if the queen continues to be so depressed, something big will happen during the childbirth. Hu'er doesn't understand what childbirth is. He just hopes that his mother can eat better and stop losing weight.
His father gradually became irritable and stopped coming to play with him. Even once, he secretly went to the Houde Hall to look for his father, and he saw his father lying on the table crying bitterly.
He secretly left Houde Hall. He felt that something was wrong with the world. How could his father cry?
Probably a long time had passed, but after several attempts by him, Mr. Qi finally brought the emperor's order and allowed him to leave the palace.
On this day, Hu'er didn't know how long he had been waiting. He put on his fancy clothes, wore a bean hat, took a bow and arrows, and rode a little red rabbit. He happily left the palace, surrounded by the familiar messengers in embroidered clothes.
He followed him again, but this time, Hu'er didn't hate them anymore. At least, they were more resistant to being beaten than the eunuchs in the palace and could play with him longer.
I quickly arrived in front of the Guozhang's Mansion. For some reason, the place seemed a little deserted, and there were not many people on the streets.
Turning over and dismounting, holding the reins, Hu'er walked into the courtyard, "Yeah! I'm back!!", he shouted. The slaves in the courtyard were shocked and hurriedly got up. Someone stepped forward to take the reins. Hu'er
He smiled and rushed into the courtyard. None of the servants moved. When Hu'er rushed into the backyard, there was only the Hu chair, but no sign of Ye Ye. He ran into the house again, but still could not find Ye Ye.
"Where did Yeye go?" Hu'er frowned and asked the slave in front of him. The slave looked at him but said nothing.
At this time, Hu'er finally felt a little afraid. He was a little scared, but he refused to give up. He searched the entire mansion, but he couldn't find Ye Ye. He sat at the door in frustration and looked around.
Looking at the street, he thought, maybe the next moment, Ye Ye will come out from the side of the street, smile and hold him in his arms, just like he did when he was a child.
However, he sat here for half an hour, but instead of waiting for Ye Ye, he waited for Cui Yan.
"Your Highness, you are indeed here... His Majesty asked you to come to Taixue to study. Why are you staying here?" Cui Yan asked. Hu'er raised his head and said with some fear: "I can't find you.
Come on...He said he wanted me to go hunting with him, did he secretly go hunting alone?"
"Sigh... Your Highness, maybe that's the case. Maybe, he is hunting now and is having a lot of fun."
"No, you lie! Yeye will never leave me behind, he will follow me wherever I go!!"
Hu'er shouted angrily, with tears already shining in his eyes.
"Your Highness...I didn't lie to you, Mr. Lu. He went to a place far, far away. When Your Highness grows up, he will come back. Your Highness, you'd better follow me to Taixue. Your Highness, take care of yourself."
Study, maybe he will come to reward His Highness?" Cui Yan asked with a smile, Hu'er wiped his eyes, stood up, got on the horse, and then the two of them walked towards the Imperial Academy together.
Sitting in the study, Cui Yan only felt that teaching was getting more and more difficult. The prince, who was often distracted because of the queen's pregnancy, was even more so now. However, this time, Cui Yan could not reprimand the child in front of him.
He knew what Lu Bu meant to this child. He had grown up by Lu Gong's side since he was a child. Lu Gong doted on him in that way, a kind of doting that he had never seen before.
Even when the teacher was selected for the prince, everyone did not dare to serve as a teacher because of Lu Bu's favor.
Now that Lu Gong is no longer here, no matter how mature the child in front of him is, no one has taught him about death, and he will not understand what death is. If he knew, Cui Yan would not dare to think about it.
It would make Hu'er so painful and sad. All he could do was to keep telling Hu'er some interesting stories so that he would try not to think about these things.
Perhaps, if he stays on board for a while, when Hu'er grows up and understands the meaning of death, he will feel relieved.
With this idea in mind, Cui Yan also put down the history book in his hand and started to tell some interesting stories in history. Most of the stories started with a person from the Song Dynasty, and then they mocked this person from the Song Dynasty. , Sure enough, after Cui Yan told these stories, Hu'er was attracted by him, and couldn't help grinning when he heard the stupid things committed by these stupid Song people.
Cui Yan saw that Hu'er's condition had improved, so he continued to tell his story. As he was telling it, Hu'er suddenly interrupted him and asked: "Master, do you know where he went?" What?"
"I know."
"Where have you gone?"
"It was a very far away place, and many people would go there. For example, Emperor Xiaokang was there, and Emperor Xiaoxian was also there. Lu Gong just went to accompany them. He could see many friends and colleagues there. , that place, everyone will go there, some people will go early, some people will go later..."
"Then Master, will you also go?" Hu'er asked again.
Cui Yan smiled, nodded and said, "I am already very old. Maybe in a few years, I will go too."
"Then can you take me there?"
"That's not okay. You still have your own things to do. Once you go there, you won't be able to do these things anymore... Putting aside these things, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a man from the Song Dynasty. , he was very lazy and didn’t like to work. One day, he saw a rabbit hit and killed..."
"Once upon a time, there was a man from the Song Dynasty. He dug a well. When he met everyone, he would say, "I dug a well, as if I had an extra worker in the family..."
"There once was a man from the Song Dynasty who was worried that the seedlings in his home would not grow tall..."
Hu'er laughed loudly when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Did these people from the Song Dynasty also go to that place?"
"Yeah, they went there too."
"Well, wouldn't it be nice to hear them telling their stories every day? How wonderful..." Hu'er was a little envious, staring with big eyes, thinking secretly, Cui Yan saw that the time was almost up, and then The lecture started and he stopped telling those interesting things. Fortunately, Hu'er was able to listen this time. Listening to Cui Yan's narration of history books, he listened very carefully. At this time, Cui Yan had already talked about Emperor Taizu. .
For Hu'er, studying history is much easier than studying classics. When studying history, he just listens to stories one after another, listening to the stories of his ancestors' achievements and the founding of the Han Dynasty. Hu'er can't help but make Hu'er's blood boil, and gradually he Forgetting about Ye Ye, Cui Yan continued to talk like this for more than an hour without pausing or even resting.
The old man's physical strength was pretty good. He spoke for more than an hour without changing his face and seemed to be at ease.
"Okay, Hu'er, I'll tell you the rest tomorrow. Just go back." Cui Yan waved his hand and asked Hu'er to leave. Hu'er bowed to Cui Yan, then stood up and walked out of the study. , the messengers of embroidered clothes immediately surrounded them, and Hu'er led them out of Taixue. It was already getting late, and there were not many students in Taixue.
After walking out of the school, Hu'er couldn't help but look at the courtyard wall.
Yeye would be here waiting for him after school every day. He seemed to be able to see Yeye leaning against the wall, sitting down and waiting for him to go out. However, Yeye didn't come to wait for him, and Hu'er's eyes suddenly became wet.
, he stared blankly at the wall, constantly searching around.
He can't find his yeh.
"Yeah! Come back! Hu'er will be obedient from now on! I will never make Master angry again! Yeah!"
