agent dressed as brother

Chapter 42

Zhou Yiyun poked his head at the door of the main room, and Liu Xu smiled sweetly at him: "Come in, what are you doing standing at the door, today I cooked some small dishes for you to try."

Zhou Yiyun carefully sat at the dining table, looked at Liu Xu's face, and dared not say a word.The catkin wine glass was brought to him: "Last night I had a nightmare, and I couldn't help myself. My father won't be as knowledgeable as me." Sitting close, Zhou Yiyun whispered: "My admiration for my father is like a torrent of water. It's continuous, like a river flooding, and it's out of control, how can I be willing to be sad for me." Zhou Yiyun's face gradually turned red, Liu Xu smiled and it was done, but he didn't expect Zhou Yiyun to push forward.Zhou Yiyun, who was satisfied physically and mentally, held Liu Xu in his arms and thought about it. Liu Xu taught him a lesson: "If you have any questions, don't ask me directly. What are you doing to your son?"

"I don't want to, either. I have to go to court when I get up early, and I have to go to school. I can only let the two children do their best. During this time, my father is very busy, and I didn't have a good chat with Xuer." Then Describe in detail what you did.

Liu Xu tugged at his paw and asked, "Do you want to prepare a congratulatory gift?"

"Let Grandpa think again."

Bubu and Xiaoxiao stopped Zhou Yiyun who was going to court early in the morning, stood at attention with a smile and said, "Father, please give instructions."

Bao Bao glanced at his stupid father, and then said: "Your task has been completed very well, you will continue to work hard in the future, take a day off today, and send orders tomorrow."

The two babies put on a small face, with a fat belly: "Yes."

Zhou Yiyun, who was sitting in the carriage, asked dissatisfied: "Where did you learn it in such a mess?"

"Daddy, I pay great attention to these etiquettes during morning exercises. Although I don't understand them very well, it's very refreshing to say."

Feeling helpless, Zhou Yiyun looked at the bag taught by Liu Xu: "Is it a habit to study in the palace these few days? If you can't get used to it, father, please mention it to your grandpa?"

"Not bad father, although the method is different from what Master Liu taught, but he did his best. Baobao can't live up to the kindness of Grandpa Huang."

Zhou Yiyun grinned: "Toothache." Baobao just smiled and took out a book, using the limited time to study hard, Zhou Yiyun sighed, the palace is really a big dye house, and it took only a few days to put Baobao □Become a rigid old child.

.....................

With the arrival of envoys from various countries, the capital is very lively. Most of them are curious about these people from other countries. Zhou Yuhuang ordered the princes and ministers to welcome them. Unlike the busy Zhou Yiyun, Liu Xu lived a "retired" life. Morning exercises that remain unchanged, raising flowers to tease birds, strolling around with children in the house, peace of mind and comfort.

Empress Tong greeted Zhou Yuhuang and Empress Guo in the main hall early in the morning. People are in good spirits every happy event. For the small and inconspicuous concubine from the harem to the empress of the main palace, no one can win this honor like Empress Tong. This outfit is also It took more than half a month to prepare, the red fess palace robe, the robe is embroidered with golden auspicious flowers with thin silver threads, it is elegant and luxurious, the armor on the jade finger is inlaid with red gemstones, the very beautiful face shows no signs of aging, it is still delicate and charming , Zhou Yuhuang and Queen Guo each rewarded custom-made treasures, and everyone had a happy face. Zhou Yuhuang raised his hand to imply that the princes entered the main hall in order to congratulate and present the gifts. The bag got stuck when he went up to celebrate his birthday, and Zhou Yiyun held the birthday gift too far: "I wish my mother a happy smile and good health." Glancing at the father and son kneeling on the ground, he said, "Your real wife is really honorable, and even I haven't been able to see you in this palace." Zhou Yuhuang frowned when he said this, and Empress Guo suppressed her smile.

Zhou Yiyun hurriedly replied: "I beg your mother to forgive me, my son-in-law's wife has been in poor health since she gave birth to a son-in-law again. I am afraid that I will offend you, so I will keep him in the mansion."

"Hmph, if a brother can become the first wife of the eleventh prince of the current dynasty, he should cherish the blessings of the three obediences and four virtues. He should not be expected to abide by them, but he should also abide by the women's morals. He is going to the battlefield and training soldiers. A brother hangs around with his father all day long. What happened in the pile, and it was because he asked your father and son to go to Beijing to plead guilty, and each and every one of them, speaking of it, the empress felt sorry for you..."

Zhou Yiyun slightly raised his head to look at Empress Zhou Yu who was sitting on the main seat and listened to the training with her head bowed.Empress Tong was still planning to continue preaching, when Zhou Yuhuang looked at her coldly, her body trembled, she unnaturally wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, pulled the corners of her mouth into a forced smile, and let go of the fists covered by her sleeves , raised his small face and said: "My father often used a poem to describe the relationship between him and his father: married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection." .” Several princes squinted at this sharp-tongued junior.

Empress Tong looked at Zhou Yuhuang in embarrassment, and responded: "Okay, let's all get up." Empress Tong tightly held the silk handkerchief in her hand, Zhou Yiyun stood aside with a smile on her face as before, Zhou Yuhuang looked at him with a stern face , bag pursing her mouth: she is still too young.

After walking out of the main hall, Zhou Yici tugged on the sleeve of the eleventh brother, Zhou Yiyun shook his head without looking sideways.Empress Tong went back to the side palace and angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground. She wanted to take advantage of her happy day and get together again to put on shoes for the now popular Eleven to extinguish his arrogance. I don't want to think that Zhou Yuhuang even put on a face on the spot despite being the mother of the prince, and that child dared to speak rudely to him at a young age: "Get out of this palace."

"Queen Tong, calm down, be careful that the walls have ears." Madam Dong waved her hands and sneaked away to remind her servants softly.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not the queen of the palace yet. The crown prince is still asking another person to be his queen. What's the use of not being able to enter the Taimiao? Even a baby dares to disrespect me."

"Empress Tong, please keep your voice down. You can't be petty on such a good day. If the Holy Majesty finds out, I'm afraid it will implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In Zhou Yuhuang's bedroom, Baobao knelt down and waited for his release. Seeing that Zhou Yuhuang was just sitting upright without speaking, Baobao took the initiative to attack: "Grandpa, Baobao shouldn't speak disrespectfully in front of everyone."

"anything else?"

"Father was present, but Baobao impulsively overstepped his authority to show off his knowledge, which made you and your father lose face."

Zhou Yuhuang sighed "ah", lifted the bag and hugged it in his arms: "My grandson has grown taller and stronger, and I can hardly carry it anymore."

"Grandpa Huang will live a long life and stay with Bao Bao all the time. Grandpa Huang can't hold him anymore. From now on, Bao Bao will carry you, and you can carry you wherever you want."

Zhou Yuhuang patted the back of the bag and said: "Baobao, have you ever thought about the consequences of your inappropriate words if the grandpa is not present today? The father, daddy and two young children you want to protect My younger brother will be killed because of your words and deeds. Power is like a knife. Sometimes even if there is no blood, it will kill people invisible. You must know how to endure everything. You must first learn to hide your emotions and anger, and you must not let others see you. In your heart, wait for the day when you can say something disrespectful, but you can't demean yourself."

The bag that was punished to spend the whole day behind closed doors, wrapped around Liu Xu as soon as he returned to the mansion, and opened his arms to hug him. Liu Xu found that his mood was wrong and swallowed the mocking words that he was about to say: "My bag is so big , Daddy can't move in his arms, can you carry it on your back? Daddy walks around the mansion with the bag on his back, it's time for exercise."

The bag lay on Liu Xu's back without saying a word, and Liu Xu didn't bother him, and he carried it forward silently. The two little ones pulled the brother's trousers and chattered about their daily routine. After the report, the two little ones They ran to the side to pick up pebbles, and they were a little sad that they didn't get a response from their brother. Baobao put his arms around Liuxu's neck: "In Baobao's heart, no one is better than Daddy. Baobao assures you that one day you will let anyone Everyone recognizes Daddy and calls you a hero."

Liu Xu patted his butt like he was carrying his back when he was a child: "Daddy believes in you, come on!"

After the three brothers took a nap, Liu Xu came to the study to continue his newfound joy of killing time—practicing calligraphy. He had just "drawn" two strokes when Zhou Yiyun rushed back: "Where's the bag?"

Liu Xu chuckled lightly and said, "What's wrong with you father and son, you were also punished to spend a day behind closed doors?"

"Oh, my father came back secretly, I'm a little worried, Xu'er..."

"You don't have to say anything to me," Liu Xu put down the pen in his hand, "Baobao didn't say anything, he only mentioned that he was punished, so you don't have to say anything, I'm afraid I can't control my temper, and there will be a big scene regardless of the occasion Imperial Palace, why did you come back in such a hurry, are you afraid that your son will sue you?"

"Your son is good! You don't even look at other people's faces, and you lie on the gunpowder stiffly. Alas, the father's face is so bad that you don't need to take action. A word from the father is worth a thousand words to me." Lifting Liu Xu's head Face: "I don't think I will let you be wronged all the time."

"Hey, what can I do? It's a good thing that the two younger ones didn't enter the palace today, otherwise they would all come to comfort me, and everything would be pacified. Father, I'm not afraid of going to the battlefield, and I still care about those few words that are terrible." ?"

As night fell, all the way in the palace was decorated with lights and festoons. The small halls of the inner court set up colorful sheds for birthday celebrations, and carefully prepared birthday gifts were placed in the sheds. Praise and congratulatory speeches, gongs and drums proclaim the sky on several stages, and auspicious dramas of birthday celebrations are staged.Along the way, hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries lined up in teams to kowtow to celebrate the birthday. The accompanying eunuchs distributed birthday peaches, birthday cakes and other snacks to those kneeling, so that everyone could share the Queen's joy of longevity.It was as if the disharmonious scene had never happened before. It had already been rumored in the palace that Zhou Yuhuang had punished Bao Bao, and no one would bring up the past to make fun of himself. As a respectful speech to Zhou Yuhuang, Zhou Yuhuang intends to show the prosperity of the country and the strength of the army, the prince and ministers are hospitable, and it is very rewarding to play for a few days, and they go out of the border and return to other countries with the gift of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Empress Tong, who had been enjoying herself for a few days, was ordered by Zhou Yuhuang to learn the three obediences and four virtues in the side palace.Before Zhou Yiyun went to find Zhou Yici to drink the celebration wine, the tenth prince and concubine hurried over the mansion: "Eleventh brother, your tenth brother hasn't returned to the mansion for two days..."
