Brother Gan was very envious when he saw the loving and tacit understanding between his father and mother. With the warm and warm appearance of ordinary parents, he somewhat understood why his father made such a choice.

Having his lover by his side gives him more motivation to reform and accomplish the great things in his heart. He can always stay clear-headed about power and not hold back when it is time to let it go, because he has love in his heart, is no longer lonely, and no longer needs power. To be the pillar of his heart, he has too many beautiful things worth holding on to and cherishing, and he does not need to rely on power to comfort and fill himself.

"Father, I will work hard."

"Well, it's still early now. Go and help me approve those folding papers. I'll accompany your mother to the yard to paint the sunset."

Li Chengze directed his son to work without any guilt. What was the purpose of giving birth to a son? Of course it was to run errands.

Brother Gan sighed and resigned to his fate, sitting in front of the desk to review the papers. Now he has reviewed more than half of the papers, and all the officials turned a blind eye.

Li Chengze spared some time to accompany Huilan. Although he couldn't completely let go, it was good to spend more time with his lover. He also picked up entertainment such as painting and boxing, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion with Huilan to read a lot of books. Open your mind, reduce the irritability and pressure caused by the court, and have a more peaceful and objective state of mind.

The two asked their slaves to get their drawing boards and go hand in hand to the Imperial Garden to paint the sunset. It was autumn, and the remaining lotuses in the yard were still worth a few strokes of paint.

Huilan sat in front of the drawing board and glanced at Li Chengze, "Let's each draw one, and then we'll see who draws better. The loser must agree to the other's condition and not cheat."

Li Chengze chuckled lightly, "Okay, it doesn't matter if I agree with you, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

"Oh, my defeated general still dares to speak so loudly. Come on, let's have a test and see the truth."

Huilan snorted, picked up the pen and started painting, feeling very confident.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, dragging long shadows. The two looked attentive. Although there was no communication, the atmosphere was integrated and inseparable. The handsome and majestic emperor, the calm, peaceful but beautiful and graceful queen, complemented each other. It makes people feel that this situation is so beautiful and moving.

The remaining lotuses in the pond are somewhat withered, but they have a lonely and desolate beauty.

Brother Lian ran back from nowhere. He saw his father, the queen, and his wife painting seriously, but he didn't bother him. He poured himself tea and sat there to sip the tea, admiring the beauty of the withered lotus.

After a while, Huilan and Li Chengze put down their pens and admired their paintings. Brother Lian ran over and said, "My father's painting is good, but there is something missing in the mother's residual lotus."

"Look, I won."

Li Chengze raised the corners of his mouth proudly, as happy as a child who got candy.

Huilan looked to her left and compared again, rolled her eyes at Brother Lian, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I lost, I'll take advantage of you once, tell me what do you want me to do?"

"In a few days, please accompany me to the farm to soak in the hot springs, and then make me some clothes. You've been lazy and haven't made me any clothes for a long time."

Li Chengze’s dissatisfied accusation.

Huilan laughed, "Okay, okay, let me make you some regular clothes."

After he became an emperor, many clothes were regulated and could not be worn casually, so Huilan made shoes and other things for him. Since he had never made clothes before, he wore dragon robes more often, and many regular auspicious clothes. It's about embroidering a dragon. This is too troublesome. It takes only a few months to embroider it well.

"That's pretty much it. It's getting cold. Let's go back."

Li Chengze pulled Huilan up and returned to Kunning Palace.

"As for me, don't take me with you."

"What if you are free to help your brother approve the coupons?"

Li Chengze glanced at his son with a cold look. He was not very discerning and was disturbing the love between the two of us.

"Ah, it's already getting late, so I will go to rest and review the lessons taught by the master. After the father, the queen and the mother, my son will go back first."

As soon as Brother Lian heard that he was going to criticize the paper, he immediately rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and ran away. Just kidding, criticizing the paper is so tiring and annoying.

"Then get lost and don't bother us."

Li Chengze drove away his youngest son and took his wife back with him.

"There are several weddings to be held in the spring of next year. I have to organize Sister Xin's wedding, and my godbrother's. I plan to go meet the little girl from the Xu family after finishing the wedding."

Huilan talked to him about the children.

"Okay, I've said hello to the Xu family. The girl from the Xu family is going to be drafted next year. She's still young and has to wait. She's not in a hurry to get married."

"Well, I don't know where Brother Zhuo has gone, and I haven't received a letter yet."

Huilan sighed, a little worried.

"It's okay. He's just a brat. What's there to worry about? His kung fu is the best among the kids. Many people can't beat him just based on his strength."

Li Chengze raised his sons in a rough manner, but treated his daughter with tenderness and obedience. His son did not receive such treatment.

"That's right, I also want to go out and gain experience. Do you plan to let Brother Gan become the prince and go to court to discuss matters?"

"Well, help me share some courage. I am really tired of working hard these years. I am not attached to this imperial power. Only when I was in the game did I understand that the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility and burden. After all, we have to cultivate young people When someone comes to power, it’s better to prepare early.”

Li Chengze also started to do things after his death in advance. He couldn't fall down suddenly like his father and had to fumble all by himself. That would be too tiring.

"Okay, you can do it. I really don't understand the affairs of the court, so I won't interrupt. I'll help you teach your daughter-in-law well, so that she can take over the palace affairs as soon as possible and share one or two of the palace affairs. I'm pretty good I like Xiaoya, she has a different personality from Zhou Ying, she is more flexible and warm."

"Well, I have learned from Sister Xin. I hope she can take on the important responsibility of the mother of the country in the future. If Brother Gan really likes her so much, let him go. He won't be able to control so much when his son is older."

"Has the matter of the concubine been settled?"

"I don't know. My son said he would choose. I agreed after thinking about it. It's not okay not to choose. The officials won't agree. The officials allowed me to favor you alone. It has a lot to do with your ability to live up to your expectations. But It may not be possible to accommodate a daughter-in-law. Once the officials unite to fight against the emperor, it will be a huge resistance. The power of the officials cannot be underestimated, otherwise there will not be so many puppet emperors in history."

Li Chengze patted Huilan's hand, not because he didn't care about his son's wishes and likes, but because there was too much resistance. There were many officials from aristocratic families who wanted their daughter to enter the palace.

I am very dissatisfied that I have cut off their hope. If my god-brother comes again, they will definitely not agree. If they are pushed too hard, they will kill Xiaoya. There are countless poisonings and assassinations in the palace. Where did it come from? There are conflicts over interests.

The prospect of giving birth to a prince and a princess is so tempting that one can take desperate risks and make a desperate move. As long as the emperor's lover dies, someone else can take over.

Huilan sighed, "You have helped me block a lot of dangers over the years, right? I know that little Yuanzi sometimes sneaks out quietly, but doesn't tell me anything. Over the years, I've let you pamper me like a

Silly child."

"I enjoy it. This is my pleasure. I enjoy watching those people being clowns. You can't take away my hobby."
