Come on, Your Highness

The Qianqiu Festival passed amidst all the bustle and bustle. Concubine Shu's mother and son shined brilliantly on this day, and no one competed for their edge.

One can imagine how lively there will be in front of Fanghua Palace and Gyeongbokgung Palace after today, the third prince is still the hottest one among the princes.

After Chenshi, the banquet ended, Emperor Tiangan was happy today and drank a lot, but he has always been restrained, and he was only slightly drunk.

"Go get the paperweight sent by the First Prince."

Eunuch Huang held a brocade box, went to Emperor Tiangan, and opened it.

Emperor Tiangan took out this white jade lion head paperweight, stroked it carefully, with nostalgia in his eyes, "I gave this to Jiayi, I remember that the one she used to was broken, and I was sad for a long time, just happened to be in the house of internal affairs. I sent a pair of similar ones over, and I gave one of them to her."

"The emperor has a really good memory."

Emperor Tiangan said: "Jiayi has been gone for more than ten years, but every time I think of her voice and smile, it seems that I am right in front of my eyes. How can I forget the things I gave her?" The next moment, as if thinking of something, his smile faded, and he said displeasedly: "Hong'er is lazy, I just picked up his mother's things and sent them here on Qianqiu Festival, without any sincerity, thanks to how much I love him!" And it was him I sent it out by myself, and I was full of anger when I thought about it.

Eunuch Huang sneered and said: "Your majesty calmed down. The eldest prince was afraid that he might not know the story, so he happened to take this one. He hasn't received an errand yet, and he has no one else to handle any money. He may be a little tight, and he won't be able to get this precious thing for a while. .”

"Don't talk to him! Do you mean this? Ming'er didn't spend a tael of silver, but I was moved by a pure filial heart. Even if Hong'er's handwriting is ugly, if I can write a few blessings and longevity like Ming'er comfort."

Emperor Tiangan put down the paperweight, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and finally he was disappointed. Eunuch Huang couldn't understand how the eldest prince, who always knew the emperor's heart, would do such a foolish thing.

Just as he was talking, a servant came in and announced, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

"Oh, it's time to make up for it?" Emperor Tiangan snorted coldly, "It's too late!"

Eunuch Huang swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously, "Is that Prince Xuan?"

Emperor Tiangan gave him a sideways look, "Let him come, I want to see what other tricks there are."

Hearing this, Eunuch Huang covered his mouth and smiled, thinking that he looked angry, but he was actually looking forward to it.

Xiao Hong didn't come empty-handed, he also carried a food box in his hand.

Ignoring Eunuch Huang's persistent winks, Xiao Hong went straight to Emperor Tiangan with cheerful steps, as if he couldn't see his father's black face, and asked with a smile: "Father, have you seen the congratulatory gift from your son?" What do you think? Comments and comments."

It's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted. Eunuch Huang almost fell down when he heard it. He thought that the eldest prince was really crazy. He didn't dare to look at Emperor Tiangan's face. He just hesitated to move the board on today's good day for fear that it would be unlucky. .

Emperor Tiangan raised the paperweight and asked coldly, "This is what you're talking about?" If it weren't for the fact that the paperweight belonged to the queen, it would probably be smashed to pieces right now.

"How can it be? This is a congratulatory gift from the son on behalf of the mother." Xiao Hong said.

Emperor Tiangan frowned, "What did you say?"

Xiao Hong said: "The son went to tidy up the empress's private treasury that day, and accidentally found this paperweight, and there was a small poem written by the empress under it. I feel that it is a pity to put it in the treasury, so I will present it to you after your Qianqiu."

As he spoke, he stared at Emperor Tiangan's face, that expression as black as the bottom of a pot, as if a thunderous wrath could come at any time, slowly dissipated the dark clouds, leaving only stunned.

Xiao Hong giggled in his heart, but on his face he said in surprise: "Father, didn't you see that line of the poem? My son thinks you have a tacit understanding with the queen mother."

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, Emperor Tiangan suddenly took the brocade box on the table, took out all the bedding in it, looked at the small square-inch paper lying underneath, and the familiar and beautiful lower script, and his eyes were slightly moistened. meaning.

There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, do you know that the heart is happy and the gentleman is gentle?

The queen is a gentle and dignified woman who rarely shows such lingering love.

When they got married, Emperor Tiangan was still the prince, and the battle for the heir apparent was fierce and brutal. No matter whether it was the imperial court or the harem, it was full of swords, swords, and schemes.If it wasn't for the queen to firmly guard the palace for him and try her best in the harem so that he would have no worries, Emperor Tiangan might not be able to sit in that chair.

Many of his brothers ended up miserable because the backyard caught fire and affected themselves.

Such a gentle woman, if she hadn't been sincere to him, how could she do this for him, she was so exhausted, her health would not be good, so she passed away shortly after giving birth to Xiao Hong.

Looking back on the past, Emperor Tiangan seemed to be hit in the heart at this moment, with a soreness in the sweetness.

He picked up the note and said softly, "I know..."

Looking at Emperor Tiangan's nostalgic appearance, Xiao Hong felt a little sour for some reason.

Thinking of the dazzling Concubine Shu at the banquet today, the arrogant and unwilling Concubine Lan, and many other concubines who couldn't see their faces clearly... The emperor is sincere to the empress, so what about these women, do they also have some love?

Can one person share his feelings with so many people?Xiao Hong has never experienced it, he doesn't understand it, so he must be able to do it.

When he was in a daze, Eunuch Huang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is a booklet under here, which looks quite thick."

Huang Gonggong's words brought Xiao Hong and Emperor Tiangan back to their senses together. Emperor Tiangan glanced at the booklet and waved his hand, "Put it away carefully. I will take a closer look at it later." The queen's words, although Emperor Tiangan wanted to Immediately opened it to look, but there was still a son in front of him.

He put away his sadness, squinted at Xiao Hong, and said displeasedly: "Since it is your mother's congratulatory gift, what about yours?"

Xiao Hong raised his hand and pointed to the booklet, "This is it."

Eunuch Huang immediately presented the brochure.

Turning to the first page, Xiao Hong's unique big characters of dog climbing were printed in front of his eyes. Emperor Tiangan frowned and said, "The rice planting experiment report and its aftermath? What is it?"

Xiao Hong said: "Didn't you write it? It's just the planting report and the aftermath. Look at the content. My son has written more than 5 words. It took more than half a year to study the planting technology. The land not only cultivated by himself , planting rice seedlings and harvesting rice by myself...it’s hard work.”

"Fifty thousand words?"

"No, it's all written by my son himself, word by word."

"I see, I don't even believe that this literary talent wasn't written by you."

Xiao Hong curled his lips and said, "Can you ignore handwriting and literary talent, the content is the key!"

It took an hour to read the [-] characters, and Emperor Tiangan could only roughly read it, but it was enough to be surprised after just a cursory flip.

This is not an observation report, but rather a rice planting experience.

Cultivation, transplanting rice seedlings, rice harvesting... Each step is written in great detail, when to start, how to do it, how difficult it is, what to pay attention to, and it is clear. At the end of the steps, the experience of many old farmers or sayings are quoted, Or proverbs, ballads passed down from mouth to mouth with solar terms, indicating that they are not nonsense and have a basis.

Through these words, Emperor Tiangan seemed to be able to imagine a picture in his mind. Xiao Hong was working and chatting with the old farmer. Although it was hard work, he was also satisfied.

This is something that can only be written if you have personally experienced it and put your mind into the people's sentiments.

Emperor Tiangan flipped through it quickly, and suddenly he stopped pointing to a picture and asked, "What is this?"

"In the flow chart, a frame represents a step, and the arrow points to the next step. Father, is it clear at a glance?"

Emperor Tiangan nodded, "Who taught you this?"

"Alas! Look at the second page."

Emperor Tiangan turned it over, and it read——Editor: Xiao Hong, Director: He Xichao...

"You still divide the work?"

"Xi Chao told me how to write more clearly and more organized, and gave my son a framework, the contents of which were all carefully thought out by me word by word. I finished the first draft three days ago, and he reviewed it to remove some ambiguous words. Content and nonsense, the final version is what you have in your hand."

"I see that there are quite a few in it, but can it stand up to scrutiny?"

"Of course, it's all calculated. Xi Chao said that since the report is for others to read, it doesn't matter whether the literary talent is good or not. The important thing is to be rigorous and not to use specious words. One is one, and two is two. Go investigate or don't write at all."

Emperor Tiangan agreed with this statement, and he praised: "This is a good statement. If local officials can also use this method to give me a memorial, I will spend a lot less energy."

Xiao Hong had a look of pride on his face, "Father and Xi Chao said the same thing, he asked me to work as a job in the future, and when he shared your worries, he would do it like this. You can understand it at a glance, and you don't need to send someone to investigate and verify , my son knows what he does. Don’t tell me, after this report, I firmly remember how to grow rice.”

"He Yu gave birth to a good son! It's great that He Xichao can be by your side and teach you like this, like a teacher and a friend."

Xiao Hong said proudly: "Son's vision is naturally the best."

Emperor Tiangan looked at Xiao Hong, who was almost as tall as himself. He was full of vigor and energy, and looked like a young man.

I am very relieved, probably it is his mood at this moment.

Xiao Hong moved closer to Emperor Tiangan and blinked, "Father, what do you think of this birthday gift? My son spent nearly eight months painstakingly completing it."

"Is that what painstaking effort is for?"

"Oh, don't worry about this. When you first came in, look at your face, it's as black as the bottom of a pot, do you think your son doesn't care about you?"

Emperor Tiangan snorted, "If you know, ask."

Xiao Hong clicked his tongue twice, "Oh, my son wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating... I made up my mind to give you a big gift as early as when you asked us to experience the difficulty of farming. You have always been pragmatic. , I don’t like nonsense things, my son has learned from you for so many years, so he has learned the truth, how could he let you down, are you happy now?”

This mouth, baji baji is really eloquent, and it has become more and more free from scruples.

Emperor Tiangan wanted to reprimand, but accidentally missed the smile on his lips, so he could only say: "The words are getting better and better, but I don't understand why you keep it so secretive. If it is dedicated to me at the dinner today, The one who won the first place is you, so that the ministers can see that the real eldest prince is not just a troublemaker."

No matter how thoughtful Xiao Ming's [-]-character report was, the format was completely incomparable with Xiao Hong's [-]-character report.

Xiao Hong didn't care and said: "My son doesn't like this kind of noise and favor. Since I gave you a congratulatory gift, why should everyone know it, as if the filial piety must be shown on the surface. Besides, my son is the eldest , if you gather your eyes, wouldn’t the thoughts of the younger brothers be in vain?”

"It's nonsense, it's not to please the favor, Ming'er is a pure filial piety, I can feel it personally, it doesn't look like you, so be careful."

Xiao Hong's nose was almost crooked, "This is really wronging my son. In terms of pure filial piety, I am no worse than him!" He patted the food box.

As soon as Xiao Hong came in, Emperor Tiangan saw it, and he didn't seem to care and said, "Why, did you bring supper?"

"Yes, the food on the table looks good, but it's not tasty. My son sees that you drank a lot of wine but didn't eat a few chopsticks. My stomach must be uncomfortable now." Xiao Hong opened the food box while talking .

Eunuch Huang hurried over, "Your Highness, let this old slave come."

Eunuch Huang took out a bowl of white rice, a plate of emerald green vegetables, a plate of poached eggs, and a stack of... pickled melons from the food box.

This is probably the simplest supper that Emperor Tiangan has ever seen.

"The rice was planted by my son himself, and he picked the best ones and sent them to the kitchen, where the chef taught them how to steam them. I don't know how to poach eggs and vegetables, but Xichao cooks them. The pickled melons are given by the old farmer in Huangzhuang. I ate it at the old farmer’s house at noon on the day of rice harvesting, it was very crisp and delicious, and I wanted to bring you some to taste. You drank wine, and it’s night again, so you should eat lightly so you can sleep well.”

Seeing that Emperor Tiangan stared at the food in front of him without speaking, Xiao Hong added, "Your ability is limited, so don't dislike it if it doesn't taste good, or my son won't learn how to make longevity noodles next year."

Having said that, Xiao Hong was a little nervous in his words. After waiting for a long time, seeing that the emperor still hadn't moved his chopsticks, he shouted disappointedly: "You really despise me!"

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Huang handed over a handkerchief to Emperor Tiangan.The latter took it silently, pressed the corners of his eyes calmly, and then raised his chopsticks.

Xiao Hong: "..."

Oh my God!Xi Chao!Xi Chao!Xi Chao!help!I'm going to be silenced!What did I see!Father's tears!Oh my God——Xiao Hong's face was dull, but his heart was screaming wildly, he was already incoherent!
