When Prince Yu was young, he was recognized as the most like his father among the princes. This indeed made Liu Yu get more attention from his father than others.

But as the age grows, the current Liu Yu has a completely opposite temperament to the gentle and respectful emperor. If the father and son who are both literary and military stand together again, I am afraid that people will no longer have the feeling of being like their father. .

Not long after the eldest son of the emperor passed away, Emperor Jing was also dying of illness. Before his death, he issued a will to make the then crown prince, Liu Kun, the son of concubine Xianshu, succeed to the throne.

Liu Kun is the child of his true love in this life. Even though he knew how terrible this son was, and even realized what he did to his brother, Emperor Jing still sent the throne to him in order to fulfill his promise to his lover.

After so many years, Prince Yu is no longer the young prince of the past, and the current Empress Dowager Xu is no longer the woman who had high expectations for her husband.

She can't even remember the appearance of respecting the emperor, but sometimes she will inadvertently think of all the things that happened in the palace back then.

Even if she didn't want to think about it, she didn't even bother to think about it, but there were some things that she couldn't understand.

Before the peerless concubine Gao Shu entered the palace, the affectionate and gentle emperor had always treated the harem with even rain and dew. Even for a little maid from a lowly background, the late emperor was able to treat him tenderly. This is why there is a prince like Liu Xin .

In fact, these tenderness and patience lasted until death, but after Concubine Shu entered the palace, only she could occupy all the love of the emperor, as for the others, they could only get the emperor's guilt and so-called compensation.

The compensations he made may not have made these women feel much better, but they did raise a lot of careerists.

The Xu family gave birth to a queen, and later became the queen mother. Even though the Xu family was not favored and had no children, Emperor Jing always treated his concubines gently and generously towards their family.

After he met the love of his life, because he owed the other concubines in his heart, he was more tolerant towards them, so the Xu family seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to rise.

Since then, there was really no newborn prince or princess in the palace, and the respected emperor, who had both sons and daughters, actually had a dream of being a couple for a lifetime in the deep palace.

Empress Dowager Xu once thought: If Emperor Jing didn't want to meet Gao, or simply met Gao earlier, would they not have to go through the pain of turning expectations into disappointment?

Concubine Shu walked in front of Emperor Jing. Even Emperor Li died ten years ago. The unforgettable love between Emperor and Concubine Gao Shu, including the crystallization of their love, actually disappeared in the world long ago, never to be seen again.

People still have lingering fears when they talk about Emperor Li, but when they talk about Emperor Respect, they complain silently in their hearts: Since there are such excellent sons to choose from, why did they choose the most terrifying one... Then Concubine Gao Shu can't see her son succeeding to the throne!

However, because of Emperor Li's eccentric personality, moodiness, and disorderly behavior, the Xu family, which was originally thought to be liquidated, was not suppressed at all, and instead developed a greater power with Liu Kun's acquiescence.

With the support of the emperor, they quickly planned to completely eradicate the family of the former noble concubine, and even gradually overwhelmed the Jiang family, becoming the most powerful relatives.

Most importantly, this gave the Xu family the capital to support Prince Xin.

Not having a biological son made Empress Dowager Xu very envious of noble concubines, concubines Shu and concubines Xian.

But for her now, in this deep inner garden where her youth was buried, there is nothing worthy of her dreams except for the supreme position of power...

Emperor Li had severe epilepsy, and like Prince Yu, he had been plagued by nightmares for many years, so his temper was extremely violent.

He and the self-disciplined Liu Yu are two extremes, because he has not been able to sleep all year round, which makes him develop in the direction that Xiaonian thinks is "reasonable and reasonable", and becomes more cruel.

Not to mention his concubines, even the empress dowager, the aunt, trembled with fear in the face of Liu Kun who might go crazy at any time.

No woman could live long in his palace, and Emperor Li never seemed to be anxious about his heirs. He brought an old palace servant who had served his biological mother, and the bedroom often had to change a group of palace servants suddenly.

The emperor's Taiji Hall was originally supposed to be the palace that everyone wanted to visit the most, but later it turned into a purgatory on earth that made people talk about it.

It wasn't until later that Empress Dowager Xu figured out what Liu Yu had figured out from the beginning.

Emperor Li was not afraid that their Xu family would dominate the government, so after choosing a successor, he appointed a regent, and even gave Liyang military power beyond the control of the court.

He watched the Xu family grow stronger, watched the Xu family support Liu Xin, and created Prince Yu who was under one man and above ten thousand, just wanted to see how they fought...even if he couldn't see it when he was alive. , it doesn't seem to matter.

Empress Dowager Xu and the Xu family behind her failed to understand this person at first because they only slowly witnessed his horror after Emperor Li succeeded to the throne.

But Liu Xin and Liu Yu almost died at the mouth of demons because of the special "hobby" of the emperor brother when they were teenagers. Naturally, they knew that Liu Kun had no kindness towards anyone.

However, even if they knew how cruel and senseless Emperor Li was, the Xu family was still riding on the back of a tiger and had no choice but to do something.

Those who already have power will be obsessed with the joy and excitement brought by power. Only by supporting a puppet who can listen to them can the Xu family's family business be guaranteed for generations to come, and they can live longer and more happily than the emperor.

Last time, the most suitable candidate in their hearts was Liu Xin.

……

But the facts proved that they still misjudged... The son of a helpless court lady back then became no longer obedient and obedient once he took over the world.

These years Liu Xin has been hiding very well, but at this time, he has finally reached the point where he has nowhere to go.

Having learned the lesson, Xu will not easily bet on the treasure this time.

Duke Qing's mansion sent two daughters to the palace, and married another daughter to the west. This was not safe enough, so it was also planned to have secret contacts with the Duke's Mansion of Feng County.

Choose whoever is more likely to be obedient, this is their only criterion for selecting supporters.

However, this excellent situation of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending was abruptly broken by the emperor.

Liu Xin's throne was inherited from his elder brother, Emperor Li Liu Kun. If there were no eldest son or other heirs, he would naturally have to choose a younger brother from the clan to be the emperor's younger brother, or choose a nephew to adopt to inherit the throne.

Prince Jue has four grandsons with supernatural powers, and Prince Jue's mansion has become the most powerful contender.

It's just that having too many choices is a double-edged sword, and sometimes it may not be a good thing, especially when the final choice is still in the hands of the emperor.

Liu Xin just named a county king, and it has already distracted the hearts of Prince Jue's mansion. No matter how hard Prince Jue works, the prince and Feng County King will no longer be as close as before.

After all, everyone wants their son to get that supreme position, and everyone wants to be the Supreme Emperor.

Even Liu Can and Liu Feng's two sons, why wouldn't there be a gap because of this?

Their grandfathers are both Prince Jue, and they all have souls. Liu Wei and Liu Yun's father is the son of Prince Jue, the county king who will inherit the palace in the future, and Liu Zhuo and Liu Xun's father is Liu Feng, who has already been crowned king.

Since they are all eligible to be considered, why give up the opportunity to others?

On this point, the king of Junjun is obviously more decisive than the cousin Prince Jue.

He sent his second son Liu Zhi to Beijing. Apart from trying to show off in front of the Empress Dowager Xu and get close to him, a large part of the reason he sent his second son Liu Zhi was because he was worried that his eldest son would have other ideas and wanted to compete with Liu Zhi, which would eventually disturb his life. The prince's mansion in Delong County is restless.

But Liu Xuan is the county king guarding the border, he can send his son to Beijing in the name of being filial to the Queen Mother, but Prince Jue cannot use the same method.

In fact, the reason why Liu Zhi was able to train in the army at a young age was because his father, King Xunjun, had an army to lead, while Prince Jue did not have an army to lead.

He is Zongzheng, and his family is in the imperial city. Without the order of the emperor or the queen mother, how can he let the children of the mansion go out of Beijing, join the army or participate in political affairs casually.

Their biggest advantage in the past has now become their biggest disadvantage. If they continue like this, they don't have to fight with the prince's mansion of the county, and they can fight to the death.

From Prince Zhaoyu's point of view, they haven't seen each other for more than eight months, and they don't seem to have repaired their relationship with their brothers.

"Let the Ai family see, you are all talking on paper. In terms of riding and shooting skills, the entire clan can't find anyone who can compare with your uncle... However, Ai's family heard that Zhi'er has always been hardworking, and she has already grown up at a young age." Having practiced in the army, he looks a bit like your uncle."

At this time, Empress Dowager Xu's words made people think differently.

If Prince Yu has no intention of competing for the throne, then winning his support is as important as winning the Xu family.

Empress Dowager Xu said that Liu Zhi was like Prince Yu. Was she trying to warn them not to try to please Liu Yu, but there were other considerations.

Although several people were born in the emperor's family, they are not like their parents, so they can't make a judgment for a while.

They expected Prince Yu to respond, but also feared that Prince Yu's reaction would be as difficult to understand as Queen Mother Xu's words, which made them even more confused.

As the person involved, Liu Zhi is naturally the most anxious one. He knows that although the Xu family and his father have had some intersections, his father also told him before he left for Beijing, saying that no one can be relied on in Beijing, and no one can fully understand. believe.

Everyone seemed to be dragged into a situation by an invisible hand, and this situation was like a whirlpool, bottomless.

No one can see the result, and no one is willing to go out, so no one can advance or retreat.

Just when Liu Zhi and the others were full of thoughts, the Queen Mother smiled again and said:

"Since you are all in Beijing at this time, please hurry up and ask your uncle to take you to the school grounds to see how powerful the elders are."

——By the way, let's see if I have the courage and ability to conspire with Prince Yu...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In his life, at least so far, Prince Yu has never been interested in that supreme position.

Once upon a time, he was actually not very interested in anyone or anything until he met Xiaonian.

At first, it was just that there were many unpredictable factors in life. It seemed that the unchanging days suddenly became alive. Every day, I didn’t know what would happen the next day, and how the other party would appear in front of me.

This feeling is very fresh and special, so it naturally touches someone's heart.

And when a person starts to touch his heart, any small expression or movement of the other party will further promote a lot of fun in thinking.

Then Liu Yu's heart has been calm, and besides the occasional disgust and anger provoked by Liu Xin, he has other experiences.

Whether it's joy, excitement, worry, entanglement, or even some negative emotions such as jealousy and anger... they have also begun to take on a different color.

Especially after the little boy occupied most of Xiaonian's attention, Prince Yu would have to work hard just to create a sense of presence and grab attention, so he would have no time to manage what was going on in the palace, Liu Xin and Xu's family. How to torture each other.

He didn't give up his reason for staring at what happened in Beijing and the palace, it was just to protect his little doctor.

After a period of comfortable and beautiful days, after returning to Beijing after a few months, and hearing the words of Emperor Jizhou and Queen Mother Xu again, Liu Yu's mood can be imagined.

Unlike Liu Zhi and the others, he had to speculate on Xu He's idea of ​​catering to the Queen Mother. Except for his little doctor and Xiaonian's family, Prince Yu didn't care about whether anyone was happy or not.

Therefore, a few royal teenagers saw Prince Yu and said, "I have been in Beijing for many years, and my riding and archery skills have long been abandoned. I am afraid I can't do a good demonstration... Since they are with the queen mother, I will retire first." .”

Not answering the Queen Mother's words, and even made it clear that he didn't want to stay in Ci'an Palace for a long time... I am afraid that only Prince Yu can say such a thing, and only he can do such a thing.

Empress Dowager Xu was surrounded and flattered by these teenagers recently. She was just happy when she was treated coldly by Prince Yu face to face, and immediately wanted to get angry.

But she knew that this was not the time to turn against Liu Yu, so she endured and endured, suppressing her anger.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xu can "same Jizhou, same dream" with Emperor Jizhou - if Liu Kun didn't give Liu Yu a Liyang Army!

……

Through his own efforts, Prince Yu was finally able to come out of the palace. He didn't go anywhere else, and went straight back to his palace.

Although this is also Prince Yu's mansion, it is very different from Sui Jin's home.

There were no maids in the main courtyard. Fudong and Lianqiu followed Xiaonian from Wanfengyuan to the main courtyard. After the beauties in Jiyingyuan were dismissed, there were only a few servants and soldiers left in the palace.

Because of the New Year's Eve, Prince Yu asked his long history and cousin Jiang Zhi to return to Jiang's residence. Although Zheng Rong came to Beijing with Liu Yu at Xiaonian's strong request, the two elders stayed in the Jiangfu. The empty main courtyard is indeed a bit desolate.

But what really makes this huge mansion lively or empty is actually the difference between whether there is one person or not—well, two little brats jumping up and down have to be counted...

After Prince Yu wrote a long letter to Xiaonian in the study room, there was still light outside, so he said to his confidant who stayed beside him without saying a word: "Wu Yuan, let's practice."

They didn't go to the school grounds of Beijing High School either, they were in the small school grounds of the Wangfu. The two of them didn't use weapons, they just fisted and kicked.

Even in the cold winter, Prince Yu pushed Zheng Rong several feet away. No matter how you look at it, it didn't mean "kungfu wasted" at all, and completely suppressed the attributes of high martial arts. Down.

Knowing that Zheng Rong had tried his best, Liu Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Go, go back to the house and change clothes." Xiaonian and his aunt Jian Wushi told him not to be greedy, and Prince Yu kept it in his heart.

Although I took this opportunity to kill some time, the long nights like this were still very empty.

Zheng Rong accompanied his prince to "practice" for a few days, and he couldn't take it anymore, but he could only bear it silently.

——Fighting with His Highness in Beijing is really better than eating dumplings made by the young master in Suijin... At least it won't hurt!

Fortunately, Jiang Changshi found out conscientiously, knowing that His Highness and Zheng Wuyuan had a hard time staying in the palace, so he took the initiative to send them to the door.

So he and Zheng Rong, one civil and one military, one played chess with Liu Yu, and the other practiced boxing with Liu Yu. The three men lived in such bitterness for a few days.

……

While Liu Yu and Zheng Rong were living in Beijing, Xiaonian was counting on his fingers when someone would be able to return.

Because it was the Chinese New Year period, the Yannian Hall would not be open, and little doctor Jian had a lot of time, except for playing with the treasures in his bottles and jars and teaching his apprentices homework, he spent it with the little tiger cubs and younger brothers.

The "big guy" was not there, and the little tiger cub was very happy at first.

On such a big bed, they can roll how they want, and they can sleep directly next to my brother's pillow, and they can sleep next to him in any position they want, and they don't have to look at a big mountain in front of them, which is really beautiful.

However, within a few days, they found out that the "big guy" had left, and even took half of his brother's heart away.

"Aww ow ow~" "Aww ow~"

I found that my brother was in a daze again. The little guys were pushing the ball to play together, but now they squeezed together on Xiaonian's lap, calling out and trying to remind my brother of their existence (fog) by the weight of their bodies.

Xiaonian lowered his head thoughtfully, and pinched the little guy's little claws with dull eyes. Subconsciously, he felt that the hand felt very good, so he pinched it a few more times.

Little tiger cub: "..." Brother's symptoms of losing his soul are too serious, forcing them to come up with a unique move.

The little guy turned over, revealing his fluffy little belly, then hugged Xiaonian's hand into his arms, and rubbed it for a while.

Sure enough, after a while, the elder brother's eyes finally focused, and finally cast his eyes on them completely, so the little tiger cub barked a few more times, as if he was being coquettish, but also as if he was complaining.

However, the elder brother looked at them, but it was the "big guy" who opened his mouth.

"Honey, do you miss Uncle? Uncle has gone to Beijing, but he will be back soon. He will bring you candied haws and snacks."

Little Tiger Cub: "..." Can I just have candied haws and snacks?Aww~

When Prince Yu went out, Xiaonian was afraid that the cubs would miss him, so he told them that his uncle would bring them gifts when he came back.

The little guy who recovered as an adult expressed his feelings with an expectant "oh".

The little tiger cubs stared at their elder brother, deeply feeling that it doesn't really matter whether they want the "big guy" or not, the important thing is that the elder brother seems to miss the "big guy" very much.

So when the shadow guards came to Beijing to deliver letters, even though they didn't understand why they had to write letters after being apart for a few days, they still sat in Xiaonian's arms obediently and read the letters with his brother.

When Xiaonian read "The candied haws and snacks have been bought", the little tiger cub touched the letter paper that smelled of Liu Yu with his small paws.

——Well, at this time, I still kind of miss the "big guy"... Aww!
