Xu Chengze took the eldest prince into his bedroom in the main hall, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and asked, "Can you write your own name?"

The eldest prince shook his head, but his eyes kept on the words written by Xu Chengze on the table.

"Did you write it?"

"Yes."

"It's really well written. It's even better than what my father wrote."

"Has your father ever taught you to write?"

"No." The frustration on the child's face just flashed, and he asked again: "What did you write?"

"A poem."

"Did you just read it to me?"

"No."

There was envy in the child's eyes again, "You are good at handwriting and poetry, can you teach me?"

Xu Chengze nodded, "Sure. Let me teach you how to write your name first, okay?"

"Okay. My name is Guo Rui."

"Which Rui?"

"Which Rui? Are there many Rui?" Guo Rui tilted his head, as if thinking.

"Yes, there are many..."

Before Xu Chengze finished speaking, he heard a eunuch outside singing: "Concubine Lin Xian is here!"

Hearing Concubine Lin Xian arrived, Guo Rui grabbed Xu Chengze's hand at once.Xu Chengze looked down, and saw that the little man's face was tense, as if he was a little nervous.

Xu Chengze gently rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb, and said in a low voice: "Your mother is here, she should be here to pick you up."

Guo Rui pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "But, I don't want to go back. If I go back, she will only make me obedient and not go anywhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps, and then a woman's anxious voice.

"Rui'er, Rui'er, are you here?"

It was Yi Na who entered the door first, she saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin Xian is asking to see you."

"Please come in!"

As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Lin Xian saw Guo Rui who was being held by Xu Chengze, her eyes flashed with surprise, then her shoulders collapsed, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, she slowed down her pace, and walked in front of the two of them.

She lowered her body and bowed: "My concubine, Mrs. Lin, has seen the imperial concubine and empress."

Concubine Lin Xian is not tall, with a slightly rounded figure, and her appearance is not as stunning as the queen's, but her eyes are gentle, making people feel amiable at first sight.

Xu Chengze said with a faint smile: "There is no need for concubine Xian, please sit down!"

Concubine Lin Xian got up and looked at the eldest prince, her eyes were a little red.

"The imperial concubine, the concubine is here to bring Rui'er back to the palace. I hope the empress will forgive me for disturbing you."

"It's okay. I like Rui'er very much. If you don't mind, Rui'er can come again in the future."

"The concubine thanked the empress. It's just that the palace rules are strict, so it's not appropriate for Rui'er to come here all the time."

yes!He is in limbo here!The emperor's attitude towards him is ambiguous, who would want to mess with him?

Xu Chengze smiled wryly, knowing that he shouldn't be nosy, but looking at Guo Rui's longing eyes, he still said a few more words.

"Concubine Xian, I heard Rui'er said that he hasn't enlightened yet, why is that?"

Concubine Lin Xian lowered her head and murmured, "Rui'er is still young, so I will wait in a few years."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Xu Chengze didn't ask.

"Rui'er is indeed still young, and children are lively, so don't get too attached to him."

"What your mother said is true." Concubine Lin Xian raised her head, "Rui'er, I'm going back with my mother."

Guo Rui bit her lip and shook her head, "No, mother, I want to be here and learn to write from this sister."

"Rui'er is rude! This is the imperial concubine."

Xu Chengze shook his head at Concubine Lin Xian, lowered his head and said to Guo Rui: "Rui'er, you go back with your mother today, and come back another day, okay?"

"No, I don't want it!" Guo Rui burst into tears, and immediately hugged Xu Chengze's leg, "You lied to me! I'm back in the palace, mother will definitely not let me come to you!"

Concubine Lin Xian's face was ugly, and she shouted: "Rui'er, don't mess around!"

If it wasn't for the imperial concubine, she might have taken Guo Rui away by herself.

Xu Chengze looked at Guo Rui who was crying in a mess, and lost his mind for a while.

During the stalemate, I heard a eunuch shouting outside: "The emperor is here!"
