The emperor has not been to Yanning Palace for a long time. Calculating the time, it has been almost three months since he last came back. Even though there are rules in the palace, he must go to the queen's place on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and he must go to the fourth concubine at least one day every month.

But in fact, the emperor always has ways and excuses to break the rules.

The eunuchs and eunuchs in the Yanning Palace were all very happy, but Concubine Xie was very calm. She was once pampered when she was young, and she still feels a little nostalgic when she thinks about it, but later that person turned to pampering others, and she just

It became clear at once that for a creature like the emperor, you can’t expect him to have much emotion.

Anyway, my position is almost at the top, and my son is about to grow up to be a filial and considerate adult, so all I have left in this life is to live my own life and enjoy happiness in peace! There is no need to worry about whether the emperor will come or not.

So Concubine Xie refused Nanny Zhao's suggestion to dress up urgently, and wore her usual elegant and comfortable velvet winter skirt. She led Yoong Zuo and several high-ranking eunuchs and female officials in the palace to the courtyard to welcome the holy driver.

Emperor Yuan'an's figure appeared at the palace gate, and Concubine Xie and others bowed down to greet him: "I, my concubines, are waiting to greet you! Good luck to your Majesty!"

Yoongzuo also stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "My dear father, I bow to you!"

"Get up!" Emperor Yuan'an asked everyone to refrain from courtesy, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yunzuo: "It's a good chance that you are here too! You haven't had dinner yet? Zheng Ze, pass the meal! We are in Yanzuo today.

Ning Gong is resting."

"Yes!" Zheng Ze quickly waved over to the eunuch in charge of Yanning Palace, and together they went to check out what dishes were prepared in the small kitchen of Yanning Palace. The remaining portion would have to be transferred from the imperial dining room.

Yoong Zuo is a discerning person, and since it was a rare occasion for his father to come, he was thinking about finding an excuse to resign.

However, Emperor Yuan'an spoke calmly: "Liu'er, don't rush away yet. We are all a family and there are not so many rules. Let's stay together and have a full meal before talking."

This was considered a banquet, and Yoong Zuo quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Father!"

The Tian family is unusual. The so-called family banquets are usually attended by many other people, such as the queen mother, empress, fourth concubine, a group of princes and princesses, etc. Like today, there are only the emperor, himself, and their biological sons.

, it is really rare for a family of three to attend.

No matter how calm Concubine Xie was, she was extremely happy inside. In fact, this was the scene she had longed for when she was young. The couple took their children together, having a simple get-together and having a simple meal.

Even Emperor Yuan'an could feel the cheerfulness of Concubine Xie's movements and the joy of her expression. He couldn't help but look at her twice. Concubine Xie was in her early thirties, which was actually not that old. She looked quite eye-catching because of the maintenance she had taken.

She has fair complexion, soft facial features, elegant and graceful temperament, and a plump and blessed beauty.

"You are so lucky!" Emperor Yuan'an sighed and glanced at Yunzuo: "In a blink of an eye, Liu'er has grown up. He has a protective temper. I will definitely not let you suffer in the future."

Concubine Xie was confused: "Protect your shortcomings?" Didn't you see it?

"You don't know yet?" Emperor Yuan'an laughed: "This boy went to the Imperial Academy to fight with others today, and the ones he fought were the concubines of the Cheng family, Duke Yi, and several boys from the Wuxun family."

Yoong Zuo was startled in his heart, and he quickly looked at Concubine Xie with a guilty conscience.

Concubine Xie looked at her son in surprise, then at Emperor Yuan'an, and said carefully: "Zuo'er is not a rude and bastard. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Yuan'an glanced at Yunzuo with a half-smile.

Father, is this... the reason for raising an army to investigate? Yoongzuo secretly guessed whether this kid Li Zhen accidentally leaked the news, or whether it was Cheng Defang who didn't know his identity when he went back and yelled at his family, causing

Duke Yi's complaint reached the imperial court?

Huh! No matter what the situation was, Yoong Zuo couldn't sit still anymore, so he had to put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and stood aside, lowering his head as if he was admitting his mistake and accepting punishment: "It's your fault! Even if the other party is rude

In front of you, you should also put reasoning first, and you should not attack others easily, and you should not act recklessly in Guozi."

Concubine Xie was puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you think Zuo'er is protecting his shortcomings?"

"That's right!" Emperor Yuan'an nodded: "The cause of the matter was just that the boy from the Cheng family verbally insulted his companion Fu Yuchen. Moreover, according to the Black Guard report, the conflict between the boy from the Cheng family and the boy from the Fu family has long been known.

Everyone knows it.”

Concubine Xie breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it! Could it be that Yi Guo announced the royal decree?"

Emperor Yuan'an laughed "haha": "You guessed it wrong! It was Liu'er who left the palace without permission. The black guards were afraid that something might happen to him, so they sent people to follow him secretly to protect him. By chance, he watched a good show.

"

After hearing this, Concubine Xie turned to Yun Zuo with a dark face: "Wow! It turns out that you always pretend to be good in front of me! You skipped classes blatantly and even dared to go to the Guozi School after leaving the palace.

It seems you can’t do it without me punishing you for fighting! Kneel down!”

What could Yoong Zuo say? He obediently bent his knees and knelt down in front of the court.

Emperor Yuan'an laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "Get up, don't kneel, I didn't say you were wrong! Noble concubine, you don't have to pretend to be angry! I don't know you yet, it's strange that you are really willing to punish your son.

!”

Eh? Emperor Yuan'an's reaction greatly surprised Yunzuo. He was so surprised that he couldn't wait for Concubine Xie to let go. He quickly shouted: "Thank you, Father!" and jumped up from the ground happily.

"Come on, come on! Keep eating!" Emperor Yuan'an asked his son to sit down again and gave him a piece of meat.

"Your Majesty, you don't plan to punish Zuo'er?" Concubine Xie was puzzled.

Emperor Yuan'an smiled and said: "What's the punishment? What's wrong with the boy's fight? Besides, he didn't make a mistake. The boy from the Cheng family bullied the weak and bullied his companion. This is his face! How can he not fight back?

! If he were like San'er, being polite and reasonable with others, I wouldn't be so happy."

Yoong Zuo was amused: "My son didn't think much about it at the time, he just wanted to beat him up hard, just to feel happy."

Emperor Yuan'an nodded in approval: "This is the true temperament of a man. If you don't accept it, do it! Your father is not a scholar. You know, I led the army to conquer the whole world. I don't want to be like a scholar here."

"I was thinking before that you wouldn't be able to see your father all the time when you were urinating, and would have to be raised in the hands of women. I was really worried that you would be raised tame. But now it seems that you are still my blood after all, which is good.

ah!"

Concubine Xie looked at the father and son in front of her with a dazed look on her face. She suddenly realized that she didn't know her emperor husband very well. How could she have imagined that he would have such a view?

Emperor Yuan'an was still having a good time with Yunzuo as his father and son. He commented on Yunzuo's ability to do things during this period and gave him a positive praise.

Finally, he said: "Okay! Now you have been recognized by many people in the Ministry of War. In the future, you must practice cavalry and archery skills diligently and familiarize yourself with the art of war. You must not slack off. If you can make a difference, I will give it to you in the future.

The title of a great general king and the protector of the border domain is up to you!"

"Yes! I will live up to my father's expectations!" Yunzuo promised excitedly.
