Zhao Yang went on a rampage in Huiqing Palace angrily.

"Why did you let him live in Hanlu Palace?! Why do you want me to take care of him?!"

The glazed fruit plate presented as a tribute on the Double Ninth Festival was swept to the ground and shattered into tens of thousands of pieces. The maids were so frightened that they dared not breathe.When Lu You arrived, Zhao Yang's favorite puppy was kicked and fled out the door whining.

The outrage was only because of the emperor's grandson who was loved by his father on the day of the birthday banquet——Zhao Rongze.

Perhaps it is in response to the phrase "the authorities are fans".Regarding the matter of Zhao Rongze's entry into Hanlu Hall, Zhao Yang's thinking went in a completely different direction.

Zhao Yang hated Zhao Rongze, hated that he lived only a wall away from him, disturbing his tranquility; hated that he was younger and weaker than himself, and had an unfortunate life experience; hated that he was loved by his father, even if it was just on a whim.

But even so, he also understands that this kind of disgust cannot be expressed too intensely.

It may be possible to bear it for a while, but according to the meaning of the father, he actually hopes that he can take care of this nephew on weekdays.

What a joke...how could he be willing to waste time on that brat!

"Lu You, you will take care of that kid for me from now on."

Calling Lu You to the inner room, Zhao Yang expressed his decision: "You go over now, tell that kid, don't come to my Huiqing Palace if you have nothing to do in the future!"

"Me?" Lu You's heart skipped a beat, "But I have to go to the Hongwen Museum soon..."

"Go, go, go, hell. Hurry up and do what I say, or wait for the father to blame you, and be careful that I will peel off your skin!"

Naturally, Lu You couldn't argue with him, so he turned around and changed into his attire, removed his mask, and went out to Hanlu Hall.

Although Hanlu and Huiqing are only separated by a wall, Lu You has never visited here.At this moment, the usually closed door of the vermilion lacquer courtyard was open, and the vines hanging from the eaves and parapets had been cleaned away, leaving only spots of rain.

The little eunuch waiting at the door saw "Xuan Wang" and hurriedly wanted to pass it on.Lu You waved him back, and walked straight towards the courtyard.

It is not difficult to see that Hanlu Hall has been carefully repaired and cared for inside and outside.The shrubs on both sides of the road have been cut down to knee height, not a single rotten leaf can be seen under the trees or in the courtyard, and even the brick and stone corridors raised by weeds have been repaired, with old and new stones interlaced, dazzling like fish scales.

The bright sunlight in the morning sifted through the locust leaves.When the breeze blows, those round and bright spots play and chase playfully on the surface of the pond and the pebble path.

This is the place where Qi Yunchu and Zhao Nanxing lived together...

Lu You took a deep breath and subconsciously slowed down.

At this moment, another breeze came, and a familiar voice was brought to Lu You's ears.

This... seems to be Swiss Franc's voice, but why is he here?

With a thought, Lu You immediately turned and walked towards the hanging flower door leading to the backyard.As soon as he walked through the doorway, he saw the person he was looking for.

An ancient ginkgo tree grows behind the courtyard of Hanlu Temple. In the thick autumn season, the leaves of the tree are as bright as gold leaf.

Tang Ruilang was sitting on the stone pier under this golden tree, holding by his hand a handsome boy who was only three or four years old, who should be Prince Duan's son Zhao Rongze.

Lu You didn't deliberately slow down his steps, so both of them turned their heads to look at him.Zhao Rongze supported the stone pier with both hands and jumped to the ground, showing a trace of restraint on his small face.

On the other hand, Tang Ruilang showed a big smile and walked towards Lu You quickly.

"Where have you been these days?"

"..."

Lu You did not forget his identity at this moment, nor did he forget that Zhao Rongze was present.So he didn't answer, just gave Swiss Lang a slight look.

"Why are you here, don't you need to go to the Hongwen Museum?"

"Did you forget? Today is ten days, so you don't have to go to school."

With that said, Tang Ruilang grabbed Lu You's hand and brought him in front of Zhao Rongze.

"Come and meet Aze. My nephew, your...cough, your little nephew."

"We already met at the Double Ninth Banquet."

While saying this, Lu You lowered his head and looked at Zhao Rongze.

I have to admit, this is a pretty good looking kid.The thick black beautiful, lacquer-like star eyes, although full of childishness, there is a hint of heroism in the exquisite appearance.

It is said that the son is like a mother. Lu You has never met Tang Ruilang's second sister, Manxiang, but he can vaguely see Tang Ruilang's shadow in Zhao Rongze.

But it is such a little prince carved in powder and jade, but there is no expression on his face, he looks like a stiff porcelain doll.

Lu You only thought that he was shy, and asked, "Is the little prince used to living here?"

"Thank you, Uncle Xuan, for your concern."

Xiao Shizi, who was only three years old, spoke slowly, his voice was as crisp as pearls: "Rong Ze is fine."

"..." So sophisticated answer.

Now it was Lu You's turn to be speechless, he looked at Tang Ruilang beside him, and got a meaningful wry smile.

"Rong Ze is a poor child."

At three o'clock, a eunuch led Zhao Rongze to the house to have some snacks.Tang Ruilang held Lu You's hand involuntarily, walked to a remote corner, and then sighed.

"Although Rong Ze is my nephew, I only met him once before. After my second sister passed away, Rong Ze has been following his father, Zhao Qing. You know Duan Wang, mad It's good for a while and bad for a while. When it happens, you don't even recognize your own flesh and blood... I heard people say that Rong Ze suffered a lot, and in the end it was the imperial doctors who passed on the word to each other. The emperor issued an order to send the emperor Sun took him back from the Li Palace in Liuquan City to live in Zichen Palace."

Tang Ruilang's words reminded Lu You of what he saw in Liuquan Palace the day before yesterday.Zhao Rongze lived beside such a tranced father, and he might have to worry about it all the time, lest he said or did something wrong, which would arouse Zhao Qing's madness.

For a child who doesn't even have an innocent childhood, even if he was born in the family of a golden and jade emperor, what's the point?

Thinking of this, Lu You suddenly felt pity.He thought for a while, then suddenly asked Tang Ruilang: "Since it's your nephew, don't your Tang family care about it?"

"Take care, of course I want to take care of it. But how can we, people with foreign surnames, interfere with the internal affairs of Prince Duan's mansion? What's more, the prince has nothing to do now, but after Prince Duan got married early, Queen Xiao's heart is already very big. If the land is not happy, more movement would be bad."

Having said that, Tang Ruilang smiled wryly.

"It's Rong Ze's good fortune. The emperor's grandfather still misses him, so he took him back to live in the palace. In fact, it was Empress Xiao's idea to arrange him to live in Hanlu Palace, so that Zhao Yang could watch him. By the way , Zhao Yang, is he also planning to throw the burden on you?"

This just hit the point of Lu You's troubles: "King Xuan doesn't seem to like him very much, so he asked me to come over...but I don't know what to do."

"Relax, I'm still here. The emperor granted me permission to go in and out of the Hanlu Palace in the future, and accompany Rong Ze to relieve boredom." Tang Ruilang rubbed his shoulder lightly, "In fact, Rong Ze is very different from Zhao Yang, not the kind of love A troublesome character. He told me just now that he wants to learn Go, you can teach him how to read and write, and he will definitely learn very quickly.”

Teach Rong Ze to read?It's a good way to pass the time.

However, this idea only flashed in Lu You's mind for a moment, and he immediately ran into doubts - teaching a child with the blood of the Tang family to read and write?

Or, deliberately indulge and spoil that child, let him develop in another direction...

No.

The child cannot choose his own origin, not to mention that it is not only Tang Quan's grandson, but also Tang Ruilang's nephew.Since I can't even really hate Tang Ruilang, why would I count an ignorant child?

"Tomorrow I'll bring him some books... maybe I can teach him some common sense about rhythm."

"That's right." Tang Ruilang pinched Lu You's cheek affectionately, his eyes full of joy, "Actually, we should thank Rong Ze, because not only Hongwen Hall, but now we can also meet in Hanlu Hall, and we can be together every day. .”

"Who...who wants to be with you!"

Lu You shook off Tang Ruilang's hand, and turned away from looking at him.
