"Shuzi, repay kindness with revenge?" Yu Shinan looked at the treacherous traitor in front of him. The old man suddenly felt that his good intentions of preparing for a rainy day were better than just feeding it to the dog: "The reason why I want to marry Lian'er to you is because of this The child has a calm temperament, is thoughtful and quick-witted. If I pass away in the future, at least she will be able to watch over you and prevent you from messing around... But you kid..." When Yu Shinan said this, he sighed helplessly. : "That's all... the brat doesn't know what's good and what's good..."

"Master Yu, I am still young. Although I don't understand much about men and women, my grandmother once said that we must fall in love with each other before we can be considered a perfect match..." Li Kuan really didn't believe this. It was nonsense, but his grandmother actually said these words to him one afternoon. But at that time... Li Kuan asked innocently, leaving his grandmother silent for a long time: Grandma, did you and my grandfather fall in love with each other back then?

"Yes...and no..." After saying this, the old woman put her hand on her grandson's head: "But grandma...doesn't regret it..."

The past is like smoke, and only now does Li Kuan understand that his grandmother's words of "no regrets" at that time were not meant for him, but rather for himself, more like... some kind of comfort.

Ugh……

As long as Li Kuan thought about the scene where he saw his grandfather playing "hide and seek" with the concubines in Hongyi Palace, he felt worthless for his grandmother.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Xiao Yu on the side said at the right time: "I still have a grandniece in my family, who is well-behaved and lovely..."

"Old Xiao, what did you say?" Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, and before Li Kuan could express his opinion, Yu Shinan exploded first. "Okay, okay...I never thought you could be like this Xiao Yu..."

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" Li Kuan didn't expect that the two old men would even compete with each other: "Test me with this? Will I not be able to withstand such a test?!" Li Kuan said, first glaring at the provocateur. Xiao Yu, who was worried about the matter, then calmed down and vented his anger with his old friend. At this time, Yu Shinan was blowing his beard and staring: "Master Yu, don't pay attention to Master Xiao, he is just teasing fools when he has nothing to do..."

"Who are you calling a fool?" Yu Shinan was so angry that his beard trembled three times. He found that since this guy had a teacher named Xiao Yu, he was becoming more and more out of tune with him.

Of course, a certain boy had never been flirting with others before.

"I am a fool, I am a big fool!" Li Kuan now found that he was really tired since he had an extra teacher - he was actually responsible for breaking up the fight: "I said two mentors. , let’s start the class, I can’t wait to travel among the sages’ classics!”

"Ha, I'm afraid it's not sleepwalking, right?" Yu Shinan turned around and glared at a certain person: "Next time you dare to sleep with your face on the orphan book I gave you, and use your saliva to bathe the sages' classics, I will have to find your Majesty. Let’s talk about it carefully.”

"Master Yu, I know the truth..." Li Kuan drawled his voice in a perfunctory tone. He couldn't help it. How could he have developed such a good routine in Shangwenguan - every day? If you don't sleep for an hour or two in class, you will be low energy for the whole day.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is really..." Even Xiao Yu couldn't think of any suitable words to comment on Li Kuan's "study".

"That's all, His Highness the King of Chu, go back and sit down, I'll start the class soon." Yu Shinan couldn't help but shook his head when he remembered how his granddaughter looked annoyed when she mentioned His Highness the King of Chu, but actually her eyes were smiling. He admitted that he planned to marry Yu Lian'er to Li Kuan out of two selfish motives. One was for a certain son to have a good wife by his side in the future, and the other was naturally to hope that his granddaughter would find a good home in the future.

It's a pity that the brat is not enlightened...

-------------------------------------

In the days that followed, His Highness King Chu finally lived a peaceful life.

Every day, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, after attending half-day classes, would go to Hongyi Palace to practice archery for two hours in the afternoon with the imperial grandfather who had just woken up. After that, there would be free time.

Normally, Li Kuan would take his younger brothers to look for new hornets' nests in the palace to poke, but now it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the hornets' nests are poking one after another. So after passing a few times, our King of Chu After this first "lifting the pole and looking around at a loss", he changed his game and became interested in playing polo. Note 1

Of course, there are all noble princes in the palace, so everyone's horses are also ponies. Under normal circumstances, Li Kuan is in a team by himself, Li Ke and Li Tai are in a team, and the three brothers play It’s also a joy.

And if Li Chengqian is free, he will also play with his brothers. Often at this time, the young princes and princesses in the palace will also come to watch the fun. Everyone gathers next to the racecourse to cheer for his brothers. So lively.

But the good days always give people a feeling of "time is like a horse whipping forward": After Li Kuan passed his tenth birthday, Datang welcomed an uninvited guest.

Turkic Khan Tuli (actually a little khan, equivalent to a vassal king) sent envoys to ask for help from His Majesty Li Er: Starting from the first year of Zhenguan, the grasslands suffered heavy snow disasters for three consecutive years, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death. , and due to the reduction in beef and mutton production, a large number of Turks starved to death, which made the desperate Turki Khan finally choose to ask for help from His Majesty Li Er.

"Your Majesty, my Khan believes that as kind as you are, you will never allow such starving people to happen in large numbers. Therefore, the humble Geshuma asks you to please give us food and help us survive this crisis. !" - At the court meeting, Li Kuan looked at the prostrate Turkic envoy with squinted eyes. Hearing the words of begging from the other party's mouth, he felt ridiculous.

Damn it, now you are not even willing to rob? Or is it because you know you can't take it away, so you choose to be soft and say good things? Hmm... The style of this Turkic people is even more shameless than the "King of Chu Barbarians" like myself...

But what Li Kuan didn't expect was that his father, His Majesty Li Er, actually agreed to the other party's request.

"I agree to your request!" On the dragon throne, His Majesty Li Er's voice was extremely calm: "I have experienced countless battles in my life, and I have never been afraid of the enemy's swords and guns. But I also know that lack of food and clothing is a serious problem for me. What does it mean to the common people? In my eyes, you Turkic tribes are also common people, so I am willing to help you overcome this difficulty. However, there is one thing I must say first: If this matter passes, you When you repay kindness with kindness, don’t blame me for returning the favor!"
