Golden Branch

"Good morning, brother. I've arrived at the post station thirty miles outside the capital. There's a lotus pond next to the post station..."

Lou Yu did not break his promise.

Wherever he went, even if it was only thirty miles away from the capital, he would write down everything he saw, heard, thought and felt, write it into a long letter, and ask someone to send it back to the capital.

Sometimes, he would add a painting or send some "local rituals" along with the letter.

A flower, a leaf, is worthless, but it reveals the heart.

Wang Heng: ...Okay! Although it's a bit trivial, it wins because it's "attentive."

Lou Yu asked for "reciprocity", and Wang Heng complied.

Uh, I have to cooperate. This guy is too shameless.

Wang Heng didn't want to provoke this person's anger because of her laziness and then receive some disgusting gadgets.

A jade carving with intertwined figures really shocked Wang Heng.

After she received it, she didn't dare to look at it again. She found the box herself, locked it up, and hid it deep in a big box.

It's so embarrassing, so unbearable, it's really disgraceful!

Wang Heng exhaled lightly, calmed down her emotions, and unfolded the scroll in her hand.

Large patches of green lotus leaves are dotted with pink or white lotus flowers.

Lou Yu's paintings are excellent, with bright colors, and are both realistic and artistic.

Wang Heng looked at a lotus bud that was about to bloom and saw a lifelike dragonfly with the patterns on the dragonfly's wings visible. She knew that her brother's painting skills had improved again.

After holding the scroll and admiring it for a while, Wang Heng put it down.

She ordered people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write the letter.

"Brother, I'm glad to see you. The weather in the capital is fine today. This morning, I played with Jiulang, Shiyi Niang, and Xiao Sanlang in the martial arts training ground..."

Wang Heng imitated Lou Yu's writing style and wrote down all the trivial things that had happened to her recently on paper in great detail.

Wang Heng wrote three pages of letter paper with trivial matters and eloquent words.

Spreading the letter paper aside and waiting for the ink to dry, Wang Heng thought for a moment, then picked up the brush and drew a "children's play picture" of the three little ones and their pets rolling around on the ground.

This is what Wang Heng said. She and the other three...

The three little ones were responsible for running and jumping around the yard, while Wang Heng lay safely under the pavilion on the side, eating snacks and watching them.

When it comes to bodybuilding, Wang Heng is a bit hypocritical.

She herself may be lazy, but she will force the three little ones to exercise in any form.

It’s no wonder that after a month or two of training, the three pampered little nobles, who were dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, have undergone tremendous changes.

Fat!

Taller!

The body has also become noticeably healthier.

For example, Princess Changning was born weak.

She did not inherit Queen Li's heart disease, but she was a little sicklier than healthy children.

I get sick every time the season changes, or if I'm a little careless.

At such a young age, he took a lot of medicine.

However, since she was packed up and sent to Wang Heng by Queen Li, her health has improved significantly.

In the height of summer, Changning, who should have been suffering from the heat, was not sick at all, but was full of energy.

The more you exercise, the more you eat.

If you eat more, you will gain weight and your resistance will increase.

In the past, Princess Changning was afraid of both heat and cold.

The heat is unbearable, but I still dare not use ice.

Nowadays, Princess Changning no longer has these problems.

Not only can you use ice, you can also eat ice.

"...Brother, the chef made milk and fruit smoothie today, and Eleventh Lady ate a big bowl of it."

"Jiulang is young, so we didn't dare let him eat too much. He ate half a bowl."

"And Xiao Sanlang has become much more lively. Even after hearing the rumors about the Eastern Palace in the capital, he hasn't been affected..."

When Wang Heng shares her daily life, she can't help but add the three little ones.

There's no way, she's with the three little ones every day.

The three children, one big and one small, spent enough time together that many of the things Wang Heng did were closely related to them and could not be separated at all.

Wang Heng teaches the three little ones in an entertaining way, rather than just rote learning.

It seems that he is "wasting time on trivial things", but in fact he is very attentive.

The three little ones have made obvious progress in many aspects without realizing it.

There was no delay in academic studies, and everyone learned their own talents.

The body, mind, etc. have also been greatly tempered.

Originally, the three mothers, Concubine Jiang, Queen Li, and the Crown Princess, just wanted to temporarily keep their children away from the vortex of right and wrong.

In their subconscious, serious teaching should be done by serious teachers.

Wang Heng is talented and capable, but she is a woman after all.

It’s okay for Changning. As a princess, it’s not unusual for her to study with a female teacher.

Jiulang and Xiao Sanlang are princes and grandsons of the emperor. Even if they do not inherit the throne, they must be taught and trained with all their strength.

It is really inappropriate to let a woman be the husband of a royal noble!

Therefore, even Concubine Jiang made up her mind to bring the child back to the palace after the turmoil in the Eastern Palace was over.

However, last month, during a holiday, the three little ones returned to the palace, and Concubine Jiang and others discovered that their children had undergone very obvious changes.

First of all, in terms of body, the little face is chubby and rosy, and at first glance it is obvious that the person is healthy and has sufficient energy and blood.

Secondly, the three little ones' speech and behavior are not overly dogmatic, but instead reveal a sense of calmness and composure.

When speaking, the child does not show ignorance or recklessness, but his words are meaningful.

This is a kind of teaching from famous teachers, which is silent but effective.

"Langya, you are indeed from an aristocratic family and have learned from famous scholars."

The nobility that emanates from her bones not only makes her look extraordinary, but also enables her to teach those around her well.

The previous companions and the current students are all like this.

The three little ones are of royal birth and have excellent appearance and manners.

What Wang Heng did was to make their goodness more natural.

"Let the child study with Langya for a few more days!"

Imperial Concubine Jiang, Queen Li, and the Crown Princess couldn't help but think so.

Perhaps, due to secular constraints, they still cannot let Wang Heng be their legitimate husband, but they still hope that their children can spend more time with Wang Heng.

After all, the children are still young. It won’t be too late for them to learn from Wang Heng for two or three years and then find a teacher for formal instruction!

Wang Heng: ...It doesn't matter! I don't want a false reputation.

He did not have the title of a teacher, but it was enough for him to instill his own ideas into his "disciples".

In this way, even though the affairs in the Eastern Palace had calmed down, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Yang Cheng, was recovering in an orderly manner, and the Taiji Palace seemed to have regained its former peace and tranquility, the three little ones were still left with Wang Heng.

Wang Heng’s daily life is all about the three little ones.

The three little ones appeared most frequently in the letters she wrote to Lou Yu.

"Brother, as I've seen you: The Crown Prince's Thousand Years' Banquet was held in June. Little Dalang's leg injury has just healed, and he has some difficulty walking. Rumors are spreading. Little Sanlang is caught up in the whirlpool of public opinion again. Fortunately, he is the youngest, but he is calm and intelligent. He reads and plays every day, just like before."

"Brother, Jiulang has learned how to throw pots and even beat me in a round. That's great!"

"Brother..."

Lou Axiongyu: What I want to see is the daily life of my dear Aheng, not some irrelevant kids!

……

At the end of June, Lou Yu arrived in Yongzhou safely.

When Lou Yu arrived in front of the half-burned governor's office, his face was as gloomy as water.

The situation in Yongzhou was worse than he expected.

King Yong was indeed tyrannical, but the local barbarians were not good people who would submit to his fate.

Burning down the government office is tantamount to rebellion.

A gloomy light flashed in Lou Yu's deep eyes.

He did want to severely punish King Yong, but he would not condone the rebellious Yi Liao people.

boom!

Boom boom!

In the vast primeval forests, explosions were heard one after another, like thunder from the sky.

Birds and beasts scattered, and the natives were terrified.

Lou Yu watched with cruel cold eyes.

Lou Yu, who had already led his troops and successfully captured Prince Yong's Palace, now had to put down the Yi-Liao Rebellion.

"Hangniang, dear lady, your greeting: The great weapon truly lived up to its reputation; it was indeed powerful and ferocious. The gates of Prince Yong's mansion collapsed with a bang. Prince Yong's personal guards were in awe and dared not resist. Prince Yong's mansion was conquered in an instant."

"The locals in the mountains are calling it 'divine punishment from heaven' and respecting my brother as a messenger of God..."

Lou Yu was killing people indiscriminately in Yongzhou. Half a month later, Wang Heng received his letter.

With her fingernails dyed bright red, she gently pinched a mark on the word "Hengniang". A look of understanding and helplessness flashed in Wang Heng's bright lychee eyes.

I picked up my pen and wrote a reply to Lou Yu. As soon as I looked up, I changed the address according to Lou Yu's wishes:

"Yulang, I feel as if I have met you in person..."
