This shadow guard, you are enlightened

When Xing'er was four years old, her appearance was already 14% similar to Zhuo Ying's.Zhuo Ying himself looks childish, every time he takes off his mask and hugs Xing'er, it's like a [-]-year-old Zhuo Ying hugging a [-]-year-old Zhuo Ying, Xing Chenmu's heart is so warm that it melts.

Because of this, Xing Chenmu almost spoiled Xing'er, no matter how mischievous Xing'er was, as long as he saw that smiling face that resembled Zhuo Ying, he would lose all temper.

Although born in the palace, both Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying wanted to give Xing'er a warm family. After Xing'er was weaned, the three of them ate together almost every day, just like ordinary people's homes.

Today, Zhuo Ying had some matters to deal with in Ming Ying Palace, so he specially sent someone to Xuan Ming Palace to inform Xing Chenmu, and asked him to take Xing'er to have lunch first. Xing'er is still young and his spleen and stomach are still very fragile. must be used on time.

Zhuo Ying himself had some meals with the Shadow Guard Army in Mingying Palace, and it was too late to deal with the military affairs.

Xing'er has not officially entered the Imperial College to study yet, but Xing Chenmu intends to let him get in touch with literature classes earlier, so he will teach Xing'er how to read and write after meals every day, and after about half an hour, the nanny will take him to rest.

Zhuo Ying calculated the time and guessed that Xing'er should still be studying in the Xuanming Hall at this time, and rushed back to the Xuanming Hall when he was done, but when he opened the door, the hall was quiet, and there was no one in front of the table There were two figures, one big and one small, and the untouched lunch was placed on the small table, which was particularly conspicuous.

Zhuo Ying paused, squinted her eyes, and subconsciously turned behind the screen in the inner room, and she saw Xing Chenmu sleeping soundly on the soft couch with Xing'er in her arms, and a set of toys specially ordered by Xing Chenmu to be made for Xing'er was piled up beside her. , including miniature versions of Ruyi, dustpan, dolls, and tea sets, all of which are of excellent quality.

The two of them were obviously tired from playing, and they went to bed before lunch. Yan Qing happened to take a rest today, and the other father-in-laws in Xuanming Palace naturally didn't dare to persuade Xing Chenmu. If he didn't come, he wouldn't know these two When to sleep.

Thinking about it, Zhuo Ying became a little angry, picked up the teacup on the side and put it on the table with a "snap", Xing Chenmu woke up immediately in fright, he was still a little confused when he first woke up, when he saw Zhuo Yingshi in front of him woke up almost immediately, and soon realized that he must have fallen asleep.

And as soon as he sat up, Xing'er in his arms also woke up and rubbed his eyes: "Father."

Xing'er has always been close to Zhuo Ying, and she is even more clingy just after waking up. After shouting childishly, she reached out to Zhuo Ying to hug him, but Zhuo Ying did not hug him as usual, but turned her eyes Turning to Xing Chenmu again, he asked in a deep voice, "Is that how you carry the stars?"

"I happen to be free today, thinking that I haven't played with Xing'er for a long time." Xing Chenmu stood up with some guilt, his voice became softer and softer, "Xing'er said he was not hungry, we thought we would sleep for a while before eating, Unexpectedly, I accidentally fell asleep..."

Xing'er saw that his father was like this, and finally realized that Zhuo Ying seemed to be angry. Xing'er was actually taught very well by the two of them, and it was rare for him to be unruly. Almost never, when I saw this, I was a little scared, and stood up on the soft couch unsteadily.

Afraid that he would fall, Zhuo Ying stretched out his hand to help him, and then asked with a cold face and silence for a moment, "Do you know what's wrong?"

He intended to ask Xing'er, but he didn't expect the two people in front of him to say in unison: "Didn't eat lunch on time."

At first glance, Xing'er looks very much like Zhuo Ying, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are almost exactly the same as Xing Chenmu's, and his demeanor and temperament are also closer to Xing Chenmu's. The expression of grievance seemed to be carved out of a mold, it was really interesting to watch, most of the anger in Zhuo Ying's heart disappeared in an instant, and he almost couldn't stop laughing out loud.

But in order to teach the two of them a lesson, he finally held back and just stood there silently without opening his mouth.

Seeing this, Xing Chenmu thought for a while, leaned over and kissed Zhuo Ying on the left cheek, which was quite flattering, Xing'er on the soft couch saw him, and imitated his example, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Zhuo Ying's right cheek, There was also a "chirp".

How could Zhuo Ying continue to be angry, sighed, squatted down to put on Xing'er's shoes, Xing Chenmu immediately asked Xing'er: "What should Xing'er say at this time?"

Xing'er rolled her big eyes, and quickly said loudly: "Father, Xing'er knows his mistake!"

"It's not an example." Zhuo Ying rubbed his head, carried him from the soft couch to the ground, took his hand and walked out.

Only then did Xing Chenmu heave a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to take away the cold food and cold dishes on the table, and prepare lunch again.

Xing'er didn't have lunch, so she woke up really hungry, but she was afraid that Zhuo Ying would be angry, so she didn't dare to say it, she just secretly glanced at Xing Chenmu who was standing beside her, and after a while she whispered: "Royal father ..."

Xing Chenmu was also afraid that Zhuo Ying would be angry, but he couldn't really make Xing'er hungry, so he carefully opened the food box on the side, glanced at Zhuo Ying, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he took out a piece of pastry from inside and broke it into small pieces. Feed it into Xing'er's mouth.

Children don’t eat much at each meal, but they are prone to hunger. Thanks to Xiaoying’s carefulness, she found that Xing’er often came to Xuanming Palace, so she asked someone to prepare some digestible pastries and put them aside so that Xing’er could eat some puff pastry when she was hungry. Stomach, so as not to eat too much and miss dinner.

Zhuo Ying watched Xing Chenmu finish feeding Xing'er the pastry, then shook his head and said: "Back then, Mu'er was worried that I would spoil Xing'er too much, and now you are saying who is spoiling Xing'er ?”

"It's me, it's me." Xing Chenmu quickly recognized and rubbed his nose, "How could I have thought that Xing'er would look so much like you..."

"So I'm still to blame for this?" Zhuo Ying was annoyed by him.

"No, no, blame me, it's just that this time it was an accident, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Although Xing Chenmu is willing to spoil Xing'er most of the time, he still has a sense of proportion in his heart and will not really pamper him too much.

Zhuo Ying also understood this point, so she didn't hold on to this matter any longer.

In this way, another year passed, and Xing'er reached the age to enter the Imperial College.

When Xi'er, Xing Chenxiu's son, entered the Imperial Academy, Zhou Qiyou was personally appointed as Xi'er's first teacher. He valued Zhou Qiyou's knowledge and even more his character.

Now Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying also chose to let Zhou Qiyou teach Xing'er's literary lessons, while Zhuo Ying personally taught the martial arts lessons.

Zhou Qiyou married Hua Baiwei, the princess of Changle, and became a son-in-law. After the former Minister of the Household Department retired, he was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, and concurrently served as a scholar of the Palace Pavilion. and its right.

He has both ability and integrity, treats others with humility, and never seeks personal gain with power. Although he was promoted by Xing Chenmu all the way, he is able to convince others with his ability. Whether it is the courtiers or the current Xi'er and Xing'er, all respect him.

This day's class happened to talk about filial piety: "Youzi said, he is filial and fraternal, and those who like to offend his superiors are rare; those who are not easy to offend his superiors and are prone to chaos are rare. Also, it is the essence of human beings!" ①

Zhou Qiyou asked Xing'er if he could understand the meaning. Xing'er was enlightened early and inherited Xing Chenmu's talent in literary studies. Under Zhou Qiyou's guidance, he quickly understood the meaning. Zhou Qiyou smiled and said: "Your Highness needs time Remember, filial piety is the foundation, and you should never abandon filial piety because of power and interests."

Since ancient times, it has been said that "the Tian family has no father and son", Zhou Qiyou is Xing Chenmu's confidant, and now he is Xing'er's teacher, so he naturally doesn't want to see their father and son have quarrels in the future, so he mentioned a few more words at this time.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er raised her head after hearing this, and immediately continued: "Of course I know, my father has taught me to respect my father, not to provoke my father's anger, and to learn martial arts well, and to protect my father when I grow up. Always remember!"

Zhou Qiyou smiled: "You can't provoke the empress' anger, and you can't provoke the emperor's anger. Both of you must be filial."

Xing'er shook his head half-understood: "But only provoke father to be angry, if father comes later, father's anger will disappear, but if father is angry or sad, father will definitely punish I."

This is the truth he found out by himself, since he understood this point, he has never offended his father, and indeed his father has treated him better and better, Xing'er thought a little proudly, he is really smart.

Zhou Qiyou, who inadvertently snooped on the details of the relationship between the emperor and the empress, coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so he just said: "In short, filial piety means respecting the elders. Your Highness's father, emperor, and empress are all elders, so Everyone needs to be filial."

Xing'er heard Zhou Qiyou say this but thought that the other party didn't believe her words, so she pouted to give an example.

Said that yesterday he was playing with the paperweight on the father's table, and accidentally left a scratch on the sandalwood base. When the father saw it, he became very angry, and even took a ruler to beat him, but the father As soon as the father came, he hid the ruler behind his back. After the father knew what had happened, he said something in the father's ear. Not only did the father not get angry, he even laughed immediately, but he used it last night. After dinner, his father and queen sent him back to Mingying Palace early, and this morning his father got up late.

Zhou Qiyou wanted to stop Xing'er from saying this, but the other party had already poured it clean like beans in a bamboo tube. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down after thinking for a moment and said solemnly: "Your Highness, in the future, you can't casually say that the Holy Majesty is with you." About the empress, if the empress knows what you said, he will be very angry, and then your father will really not be able to keep you, understand?"

Xing'er stared wide-eyed, nodded immediately in fright, and asked cautiously: "Master won't tell Queen Father, will he?"

Zhou Qiyou said in his heart that even if such a thing gave him ten courages, he would not dare to face Zhuo Ying. He knew that the empress was very affectionate, but he never thought that he would be so affectionate. As for why Zhuo Ying got up late today, Xing'er didn't I understand, how could he not understand...

At this time, Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying, who were sleeping in the Chengyang Palace, would never have thought that they had been sold out by their son, but Zhuo Ying suddenly recalled and asked: "You have always loved Xing'er the most, why did he love you yesterday?" You just accidentally scratched the paperweight and you wanted to beat him, so you didn't mean to act it out for me, did you?"

Facing the face of "Xiao Zhuoying", Xing Chenmu naturally couldn't keep hitting, let alone hitting, even if he said a word seriously, he would silently say "this is Xing'er, not Aying" several times in his heart, but he Not only because of Xing'er's similar appearance to Zhuo Ying, but also because Xing'er is Zhuo Ying's child, and the blood of the two of them is flowing. It feels as if Xing'er brought them closer together. combined.

As for how true or false yesterday's anger was, the emperor, who wanted to be coaxed by his queen every day, certainly wouldn't let it slip...

The author has something to say: ① Quoted from the Analects

The emperor who swore that he would not spoil his son, now...

The slap in the face came too fast like a tornado~
