Gu Min hurriedly entered the palace under the key of the palace gate, and when he returned to Yongle Palace, Shen Ying hadn't announced the dinner yet, and was waiting for him to come back to have dinner together.

Shen Ying also ordered the prince to take the prince to Yongle Palace after finishing his studies in Wenhua Palace. Although Gu Min and Shen Huairong's uncle and nephew can't recognize each other for the time being, it is still possible to have a reunion dinner together and cultivate their relationship. of.

Shen Huairong left school and happily went to Yongle Palace to greet Shen Ying. It happened that the toys that Gu Min bought from outside the palace were also delivered. The child's eyes lit up immediately when he saw so many toys, and he jumped for joy. Touch, look at that, I don't know which one to play first.

But when Shen Ying told him that the Regent bought these toys for him, the little man frowned, immediately put down the little wooden sword in his hand, puffed up his cheeks, and said angrily: "Then I don't want it anymore!"

Shen Ying was surprised, walked to Shen Huairong, touched the back of the child's head, "Why don't you want it? Don't you really like these toys?"

Shen Huairong crossed his arms, clamped his little hands in the creaking nest, and turned his head to avoid looking at those full of temptations.Huo Li's strange toy, "The regent is a villain who bullied the father, so I don't want anything from him!"

Shen Ying was a little surprised, "Who did you hear that the regent bullied me?"

Shen Huairong looked up at Shen Ying, and said earnestly: "Father, many eunuchs and maids in the palace said so, Huairong also met King An today, and he also told Huairong the same way."

Shen Ying: "..." It seems that he has to keep that guy Shen Xuan away from Huai Rong. It's fine for him to be ignorant, don't teach the child badly.

Seeing that Shen Ying was silent, Shen Huairong hugged Shen Ying's arm and shook it, his immature face was full of promises, "Father, Huairong will protect Father, if the regent dares to enter the palace again, Huairong will take it again." Slingshot him over the head!"

"'Again'?" The corners of Shen Ying's eyes twitched, "Did you hit him on the head already?"

A nephew beating his uncle, isn't that a big treason?

Shen Huairong scratched his forehead and said: "I didn't hit his head, just hit him on the back with a marble, first give him a warning, next time if he dares to bully Father, I will aim the slingshot at his head!"

Shen Ying was also very relieved to hear that the child defended him so much. He didn't love him in vain, but when he thought of Gu Min being attacked by his nephew with a "hidden weapon", he wanted to laugh a little.

Shen Ying stretched out her hand and tapped Shen Huairong's forehead, she couldn't help laughing and said: "If you dare to hit the regent, are you not afraid that he will punish you?"

"Don't be afraid!" Shen Huairong lifted his chin and said plausibly, "Huai Rong is a child, if the regent bullies Huai Rong, then he will be bullying the younger with the big, and he will be ridiculed!"

"You elf, you have learned morality to kidnap!" Shen Ying snorted, looked at Shen Huairong seriously after laughing, and said, "But you have to remember, real bad guys who bully people don't care whether you are a child or an adult, Don't mess around next time, you know?"

"Huairong knows." Shen Huairong lowered his head and thought for a while, "But the regent didn't blame Huairong either."

Shen Ying sat down on the chair next to her, "The regent didn't blame you, it's because he is not a bad person, and he didn't bully the emperor, please don't listen to rumors about Huairong."

Shen Huairong was dubious, "Really?"

Before Shen Ying had time to answer, a eunuch came in from the outside to announce that the regent had entered the palace.

As soon as Shen Huairong heard the word Regent, she looked at Shen Ying nervously, Shen Ying understood, got up and patted the child's head, and said kindly: "Huai Rong, I will teach you a truth today, to judge whether a person is good or not. It’s bad, you can’t just use your eyes and ears, but you have to see it with your heart.”

Shen Ying asked Xuan Gu Min to come in, and ordered someone to prepare dinner.

When Gu Min came in and saw that Shen Huairong was there, his eyes softened. After greeting Shen Ying, he greeted Shen Huairong with a smile, "His Royal Highness is also here."

Even though Shen Ying had just said that the regent is not a bad person, the child was still not so easy to let go of his vigilance towards strangers. He just stood beside Shen Ying, looking at Gu Min vigilantly like a cub in danger. , but refused to speak to him.

Seeing that Shen Huairong was like this, Shen Ying didn't force the children to greet Gu Min, and the dinner was quickly brought in. Shen Ying sat down at the table first, and then asked the children to sit on his left and right.

When eating, Shen Huairong quietly raised his eyes to look at Gu Min every once in a while, but saw that he and Shen Ying would chat with each other in a soft voice from time to time, and would even give each other food. They seemed to be on good terms with each other. However, unlike what outsiders said, there was a deep grievance between the king regent and the emperor, and the king regent returned to the palace to take revenge on what the emperor had done to him.

The child has a small head with a big question mark on it, and he doesn't know who to trust.

Gu Min naturally noticed that his nephew had been watching him secretly. It was his first time as an uncle, and he was actually very nervous. He was worried that Shen Huairong would still be hostile to him. He picked up a shrimp with chopsticks, hesitated for a while, and then tentatively Stretch it towards the opposite side and put it into Shen Huairong's bowl.

After picking up the dishes, he didn't know what tone to use to talk to the child, so he said in a very blunt tone: "Prince, eat a shrimp and grow taller."

Shen Ying had never seen Gu Min so nervous before, she secretly laughed in her heart, held back her laughter and turned her head to look at Shen Huairong's reaction, curious whether the child would accept or reject Gu Min's kindness.

Shen Huairong looked down at the shrimp in his bowl, then looked up at Shen Ying, and then at Gu Min who was opposite.

Although the child is young, he also has his own little calculations in his heart, Shen Huairong thought, his father treated him so well, he would definitely not lie to him, if his father said that the regent is not a bad person, then the regent must not be a bad person, no matter what others say, he Just believe what your father said.

Shen Huairong made a decision in his heart, whispered "Thank you Regent" to Gu Min, then picked up the shrimp in the bowl with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

Finally feeling the child's trust, Gu Min's heart couldn't be more moved. Shen Ying noticed that his hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly, fearing that his gaffe would frighten Shen Huairong, so she hurriedly pressed Gu Min's hand, jokingly said: "How is it? I've taught my children well? Huairong thought you were a bad person just now, but after my persuasion, I have changed my view of you now."

Gu Min turned his head, looked at Shen Ying gratefully, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was joyous, making both Shen Ying and Gu Min feel the long-lost warmth from family. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for.

After the meal, the three of them put down their chopsticks and chatted. Shen Ying wanted to show Gu Min how well she taught his nephew, so she said to Shen Huairong with great interest: "Huairong, you have been talking to me in Wenhua Palace these few days. What did the master learn?"

Shen Huairong blinked, "Go back to Father, Master taught "The Analects of Confucius."

Shen Ying looked at Shen Huairong encouragingly, and said: "Then you recite it and let the regent listen."

"Yes." Shen Huairong swallowed, stood up and began to recite the book, shaking his head and shaking his head, "Master said: Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it easy to say? It's a joy to have friends coming from afar... A virtuous person changes color; he is a parent , can do his best; serving the king, can do his body... to his body..."

At the beginning, I recited it fairly smoothly, but I started to get stuck just halfway through memorizing "Xue Er Pian". After scratching my ears and cheeks for a long time, I still couldn't remember what the next sentence of "can cause my body" is.

Seeing that Shen Huairong couldn't recite it, Gu Min turned to look at Shen Ying with a half-smile, as if to say, this is what you said about teaching children well?

Shen Ying frowned, and asked Shen Huairong seriously: "Why have you studied "The Analects of Confucius" for a few days, and haven't memorized the first one yet?"

Shen Huairong lowered her head guiltily, and said in a low voice: "Father, the teacher who teaches is old, and his accent is too strong, sometimes Huairong can't understand what the teacher says... That's why..."

"Is that so?" Shen Ying believed the child's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will find you a good teacher some other day. You have to listen carefully and study hard, you know?"

Shen Huairong nodded sincerely: "It's Emperor Father, Huairong knows."

In fact, Gu Min could tell at a glance that Shen Huairong had lied. It must be that children of this age are very playful and lazy in their studies. Looking at Shen Ying's attitude in teaching the children, he was ignorant of pampering and indulgence. What did the children say? Just believe in anything, how can you teach children well?

But he didn't expose it on the spot, and planned to discuss Shen Huairong's education method with Shen Ying when there was no one in private.

After dinner, Shen Ying sent Gu Min to help him review the memorabilia sent by the cabinet, while she played with Shen Huairong for a while, when the child was about to go to bed, Shen Huairong suddenly proposed that she wanted to sleep in Yongle Palace tonight.

Because Shen Huairong was once pushed into the water with a high fever and almost burned his brain, after Shen Ying made him the crown prince, he was always worried that someone would murder the child. After that, for a long time, he let Shen Huairong live in the side hall of Yongle Palace, with himself They ate and lived together, and Shen Huairong was not allowed to move to the East Palace until the beginning of spring this year.

It's okay for children to be attached to their elders, so Shen Ying agreed and asked the palace servants to take Shen Huairong down to take a bath and go to bed.

After spending time with the children, Shen Ying went to the study to look for Gu Min who was handling government affairs there. Once Gu Min came back, he could be a hands-off emperor, and his life was not to mention how comfortable and leisurely.

Gu Min heard someone come in through the curtain, raised his head and saw that it was Shen Ying, then put down the brush in his hand, "Hui Rong fell asleep?"

Shen Ying stretched her waist, "Yeah, I finally coaxed your nephew to sleep. You don't know, it's not easy to take care of a child."

Gu Min got up and walked towards Shen Ying, took Shen Ying's hand and rubbed it for him, "I know you are good to Huai Rong, but you have to be moderate, just like he couldn't recite the book just now, obviously he didn't put his mind on it. In school, you believed him that the teacher did not teach well, and you didn’t blame him at all, spoiling the child like that will spoil him.”

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, and said nonchalantly: "Children, it's inevitable that they are playful, and it's not a big mistake if they can't memorize books. Let him study hard in the future, so why should he be blamed so seriously?"

Shen Ying did not agree with the ancient education methods. For such a young child, he was forced to read and write all day long. His good childhood was ruined. He couldn't memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise he could live a good life.

Gu Min had no choice but to pinch Shen Ying's fingers, jokingly said, "A loving father often loses his sons."

Shen Ying snorted coldly, pulled out her hand and feigned unhappiness, walked to the low couch by the wall and sat down cross-legged, "I have never been a father before, so I don't know how to teach children, and Huai Rong is a special child." , I lost my biological mother when I was born, and my biological father didn't care much about him. How can you let me be so cruel to speak harshly to him? If you think my teaching is not good, then you can teach yourself when you become an uncle. Leave it alone."

Gu Min chased after her with a smile, sat down next to Shen Ying, hugged him, and coaxed him softly: "It's just a few gossips, why are you still angry? I didn't say you didn't teach Huairong well, but you didn't It should be spoiled too much."

"Why do I dote on Huai Rong? Isn't it because he is your nephew?" Shen Ying raised the corners of her eyes, squinted at him, and sighed softly, "Whenever I saw that child's facial features, I thought of you, and I wanted to take this All the best things in the world are held in front of him to make up for him, so I really can't be this strict father."

"I understand." Gu Min held up Shen Ying's face, kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "The emperor has done a good job, we will teach together after we embrace you, you will be a loving father, and I will be a strict father." , how about raising Huai Rong into a wise king like the emperor?"

Shen Ying also kissed Gu Min's lips, "Huirong has the flesh and blood of your Xu family flowing on him, he is a good boy, I believe he will live up to our expectations, not only you and me, but also your parents, Your sister, my elder brother...they are all looking at him in the sky and protecting him."

Gu Min's eyes were slightly wet again, "It will definitely, the grievances on them will be cleared up soon, and Huairong and I will be able to stand between heaven and earth with a clean slate in the future."

Shen Ying leaned towards Gu Min's chest, put her arms around his waist, and leaned her head on Gu Min's shoulder, "Actually, ever since I made Huai Rong the crown prince, I have been thinking about one thing, when will the world be stable?" , when Huai Rong grows up, I will pass on the throne to him, and then we will leave the palace together and become a pair of wild cranes, okay?"

Gu Min hugged Shen Ying tightly, his black eyes emptied for a moment, and imagined the life Shen Ying said, it was so comfortable and beautiful, after a while, he came back to his senses, and said firmly in a deep voice: "Okay, in the future Wherever the emperor goes, I will be there, I will never leave, and I will accompany you through life and death."
