King’s House Kindergarten

This night, Shen Yue didn't sleep well.

Tossing and turning, I always think of Tao Tao's words from time to time in my mind.

——Ayue said yesterday that she will accompany Taotao until she grows up, then I will never grow up, and Ayue will be able to accompany me all the time.

Among the children in the palace, Tao Tao is the youngest.

Also one of the most dependent.

Tao Tao has always relied on Zhuo Yuan, but because of Zhuo Yuan's expedition this time, she will depend on her, so she is very reluctant to bear her.

Yes, for her, it is a feast that never ends. Don’t worry about the way forward, but for Taotao, she can’t tell the difference between the former and her anxiety about the future. The company that Taotao needs, and more, is the company of family. , that is, the company of the elders in the house, especially the female family members...

But Pingyuan Palace has no female dependents.

Shen Yue inexplicably thought of Zhuo Yuan, and also inexplicably remembered that Zhuo Yuan played football with her on the cuju playground in the kindergarten, like a child who had not grown up; and also remembered that he told her yesterday that she stepped on his shadow, She stretched out her hand to him, and he scratched her hand like a cat's paw. She even thought about what kind of big cat he should be... She also remembered, outside the gate of Marquis Weid, she threw herself into his arms, and he recognized it with a frown She came, "Go back in the carriage, don't ask anything, Uncle Tao will take care of the aftermath later." She nodded subconsciously...

At that time, Zhuo Yuan seemed completely different.

What's more, when Taotao asked him to kiss her in the North Pavilion, he said "Are you kissing for your uncle?"; and then yesterday, on the carriage, he bowed his head, she looked up, and his lips pressed against her forehead , soft, moist, like a heartbeat...

Shen Yue's whole face turned red.

How could she be tempted by a half-sized bear child.

Bewildered.

Shen Yue closed her eyes.

For a little while, the quilt wrapped his head and stopped thinking about it.

***

When she woke up the next day, Shen Yue took a shower.

Some villagers prepared coarse grain porridge and sent it. In the early morning of winter, drink a bowl of warm, very nourishing.

They were not in a hurry, so they had plenty of time on the road.

Because it is in the villagers' homes, it is scattered, surrounded by guards and dark guards. When he pushed the door out of the house, Xiao Qi watched the villagers feed the chickens in the village garden next door. The villagers spilled a handful of food, and the chickens jumped up and down, so frightened that Xiao Qi suddenly ran behind the guards, but out of curiosity, a The head sprang out from the guard's hand, blinking and watching the chickens eat the food.

When one of the roosters crowing, Xiao Qi was so frightened that his whole body shivered, and he hurriedly hid back again, not daring to get out from behind the guards again.

The guard looked embarrassed, Seventh Young Master was afraid of cocks, how could this be done?

"Xiao Qi, good morning." Shen Yue stepped forward to greet him.

The guard suddenly lost his breath, Miss Shen is here!

Now, the girl Shen in this mansion is better than the boss, um, maybe better than the prince...

The guard bowed his head.

Shen Yue smiled politely.

"Ayue! Good morning." Xiaoqi also greeted, as if she was much more courageous because of Shen Yue's arrival, she stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Shen Yue. Shen Yue said, "That **** is so scary!"

Most of the time, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is when the child wants to be brave; most of the time, the child is very dangerous to the unknown and seemingly aggressive animals.

In Shen Yue's memory, many children are afraid of roosters! Especially when the rooster is crowing, it stretches its neck, "stares", **** its wings, and then suddenly crows loudly. I was scared because it was unfamiliar, but I was still curious and couldn't help but want to see it.

For example, the current Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi took her to look at the big cock, Shen Yue squatted down and explained to him patiently, this is a rooster, this is the rooster's comb, and the crowing is the rooster's job, and the rooster's crowing will indicate that the day is coming...

Xiao Qi listened carefully.

***

In another courtyard, Xiao Wu's small wooden sword was knocked flying.

"Pick it back." Zhuo Yuan was stern.

In fact, Xiao Wu was so tired that he was out of breath, so he ran to pick up the little wooden sword.

"I just said, how do you hold a sword?" Zhuo Yuan asked.

Xiao Wu readjusted his posture and said loudly, "I see!"

Zhuo Yuan also smiled, "Come again."

Xiao Wu was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but he was still very motivated, so he came over with a small wooden sword.

"slow!"

"Where are the eyes!"

"I didn't keep up with my feet!"

"continue!"

"Come again!"

Under the strict of Zhuo Yuan, the little five gas is "ah ah, ah!", Still continue to go ...

When Shen Yue came, Xiao Wu was drinking water, and seeing her from a distance, his eyes lit up, "Ayue!"

Zhuo Yuan also raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Tian Tian." Shen Yue also called him.

Xiao Wu threw himself in front of Shen Yue.

Shen Yue didn't need to reach out and touch his head. It was obvious to the naked eye that white smoke was rising from the top of his head. It was because the temperature was very cold in winter, and his body was hot and sweaty.

Shen Yue leaned over and wiped his head, then half-squatted down and stuffed another sweat towel on his back. The whole process didn't take much time, but it could prevent Xiao Wu from sweating and getting cold.

"Okay," Shen Yue said warmly, "let's go."

Xiao Wu ran away happily.

Shen Yue smiled, and when looking at Zhao Zhuoyuan, Zhuo Yuan just smiled at her, as if there was a tacit understanding, and did not say anything else, but continued to practice sword with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu is actually very persevering, and even when he is tired, he works hard and perseveres.

And because Shen Yue was watching, Xiao Wuhui turned his head from time to time, especially when Zhuo Yuan praised him, he seemed to want Shen Yue to see it. Shen Yue would give him a thumbs up, Xiao Wu was encouraged, and Zhuo Yuan smiled.

Shen Yue looked at it for a while and estimated the time. Children don’t know how tired they are, especially when they are on the rise, so adults need to pay attention to the time for children and not exercise too much.

When she left the Huicheng Inn, Ping's mother went straight back to Beijing and didn't follow him again. Ping's mother was seriously ill from the carriage, and it took a long time to go to Xucheng. Ping's mother was a little overwhelmed. Xiao Wu has Zhuo Xin here, Chun Yu and Cong Qing can help temporarily, and on weekdays, Shen Yue can take care of them more.

So today Shen Yue spent more time with Xiao Wu than usual.

Shen Yue was about to remind that it was almost time to rest, go back to rest, take a bath and change clothes and so on, Shen Yue stepped forward, and Zhuo Yuan just stopped, "Okay, here today, Xiao Wu, you can do it Good, but keep it up every day!"

Shen Yue paused for a while, as if in front of her, she used her words in a formula.

Shen Yue blinked.

Shen Yue was about to lead Xiao Wu away when Zhuo Yuan said, "A Yue."

Shen Yue stopped, Zhuo Yuan looked at the guard on the side, the guard came forward knowingly, and led Xiao Wu back to wash first.

"I just happened to be looking for you." Zhuo Yuan handed the wooden sword to the guard on the other side.

Just now, it was a little hot to practice swordsmanship with Xiao Wu. Zhuo Yuan's collar loosened slightly, but not completely. It was half-covered, revealing a masculine atmosphere that was completely different from usual. Shen Yue was a little confused, Zhuo Yuan looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yue shook her head, "Nothing..."

Once again, I meditated in my heart, the half-old brat seems to be really useful.

"I just received the news in the morning that the landslide on the road has been repaired. Ah Si should go to Blue City tonight, and we are also going to Blue City tonight, so we should meet Ah Si tonight." Zhuo Yuan said When it was over, Shen Yue was surprised.

Earlier, it was said that the road had collapsed, and it would take a few days for Ah Si to join them. But they were only three or two days away from Shancheng, and she thought she would never see Ah Si before arriving in Shancheng. She stayed in Shancheng for Chinese New Year again, so she always wanted Ah Si, which should be after the New Year's Eve.

But I didn't expect to see you in Blue City tonight?

Shen Yue smiled, "Okay, I see."

Zhuo Yuan reminded, "Ayue, Asi's temperament is a bit sensitive, and he likes to compare with the children next to him, especially Xiaoqi. I'm worried, if Xiaoqi has something like handicraft, he doesn't have it, even if he knows that because of The reason why he is late, he will also be concerned about..."

Shen Yue knew why he wanted to leave her alone to say this.

Zhuo Yuan is actually attentive to every child in the house.

The corners of Shen Yue's lips pursed lightly, and she replied softly, "I have a lot of preparation, and I was afraid of the road at the beginning. A Si, Xiao Liu and Xiao Ba will come back early temporarily. Children are the most sensitive and easy to compare, so they are all prepared. Come on, be prepared."

Both of them smiled tacitly and bowed their heads.

And inexplicably raised their heads at the same time.

Shen Yue spoke first, "Last night we put out sky lanterns, and the children all made a wish. Zhuo Ye said that you are not feeling well and rested in the room. Are you feeling better today?"

In fact, he and Xiao Wu had practiced the sword on one side for so long, and there was no cough or discomfort beside him, and it should be fine. She just remembered and greeted him.

Zhuo Yuan smiled, "Ayue, I went to see someone last night."

Shen Yue was stunned.

But he suddenly realized why Zhuo Xin could come, but Zhuo Yuan, who used to value his children, was recuperating in the house.

It turned out to be a pretense...

But what did he tell her the truth?

In Shen Yue's surprised eyes, Zhuo Yuan clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He turned around and said leisurely, "Miss Ayue, thank you for your concern."

When he turned around, the smile in his eyes persisted for a long time.

...

Back in the house, Zhuo Yuan also undressed.

Dress again.

In fact, he just rushed back from Ancheng this morning, and as soon as he got to the house to take a breath, Xiao Wu came to find him to practice swordsmanship.

Now, I only have time to think about the meeting with the teacher in Ancheng last night.

The people of Lian Yun (the third prince) found the trace of Lian Yuan in Jinzhou, but someone helped Lian Yuan to run away. He always felt that the strong dragon could not suppress the local snakes. Jinzhou was Weng Yun's territory, and Weng Yun was Lian again. The second brother Yuan was a former confidant, so it should be Weng Yun's rescue.

In addition, the day before yesterday, he met Weng Yun at the Huicheng Post House.

Weng Yun pretended to be confused both inside and outside, but only said that he was called to Beijing to serve in the Ministry of Officials.

But he was more certain of his earlier judgment.

Moreover, Lian Yun should also think the same as he. That's why Lian Yun managed to transfer Weng Yun back to Beijing, keeping people under his nose, revealing it at any time, and being able to handle it at any time, which was much more appropriate than putting him in Jinzhou.

When he met the teacher in Ancheng last night, he said the same thing.

But the teacher smiled, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

He was surprised.

The teacher said, "Who wants His Royal Highness to live most at this time?"

He froze.

The teacher said, "Your Majesty has seven children, the eldest prince died early; the first prince (ranked fifth) died of illness at an early age; later, the second prince (brother Lianyuan), who was the most vocal at the time, died on the way to control the flood for no reason. The reason is still unknown. There are only the third prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince, and the seventh prince left in the capital. The fourth prince and the sixth prince disappeared again in the fire in the Guogong mansion; only the third prince and the seventh prince were left in the palace... ...You say, why did His Majesty make the third prince the crown prince at this time? Be careful to believe that your Majesty has established the crown prince at this time to stabilize the court and the people?"

He hesitated, "Teacher means that Your Majesty doesn't believe that Lianyun has nothing to do with the fire in the Duke's Mansion. At this time, the establishment of the crown prince is not to stabilize the court and the people, but to stabilize Lianyun?"

He suddenly understood, "So, the person who can rescue Lianyuan in Jinzhou is His Majesty's person. Lianyun transferred Weng Yun back to Beijing, and His Majesty turned a blind eye because... Weng Yun was originally Your Majesty's people?"

He seemed to have finished speaking, and suddenly became enlightened.

The teacher, however, stroked his beard and was noncommittal. Instead, he said, "The older you are, the easier it is to think about your children. Sometimes, you may wonder if a daughter must be better than a son? Especially... a son who is a bit of a jerk. …”

His hands froze, and he looked at the teacher in surprise.

The teacher said softly, "After all, a person's concept is not easy to change, it takes time... So, to buy yourself time, it will take a while to see if this son has become a hopeless jerk; is this daughter Being able to support this family business... After all, the family business is big..."

Zhuo Yuan was still surprised and did not move his eyes.

The teacher continued, "But Qingzhi, you have to remember that since it's a family business, it's someone's own family's business, but it's up to the other's own family to be the master. You are a courtier, you can let someone save Lianyuan, but what your majesty says, What are you doing, what are you trying to do, you have no position to influence His Majesty's decision, is it clear?"

"Students know." He responded.

...

He is not as thoughtful as the teacher, and it is not as good as the teacher who is familiar with His Majesty's thoughts.

Zhuo Yuan put away his thoughts, finished changing his clothes, and washed his face again in the washbasin on the wooden shelf.

***

Wu Village is only half a day away from Blue City.

After lunch, after taking a walk and digesting a little, the group got into the carriage and set off from Wu Village to Lancheng.

Children are used to taking a nap after lunch.

By the time I woke up from the nap for about an hour, the carriage had actually traveled most of the way. The carriage stopped for a while on the way, and after a while, the babies made a set of Liu Duan Jin with Zhuoyuan.

After waiting on the carriage, after about an hour of manual work, we arrived at the Blue City.

The city guard of Lancheng came to the gate of the city to greet him in person. After a brief greeting, he also said to Zhuo Yuan, "My lord, the fourth son is here first and has already settled in the inn."
