"Uncle, are you coming?" Su Huan raised his head in Xia Wenxuan's arms, they had been walking for five days, no matter how fresh the scenery was, they would get tired of repeating it every day.

Although Su Huan was very happy to sleep with his uncle these few nights, the closer he was to his uncle's house, the more serious his uncle's face became.

"It's coming soon, half a day's journey at most, and you can arrive at night." Xia Wenxuan looked at the road ahead, and his eyebrows were also a little tired.In the past few days, he was eating and sleeping in the open every day, and he didn't dare to sleep peacefully at night. Even though Xia Wenxuan was in good health, he couldn't bear it.

Su Huan secretly glanced at Guo Yang and Wu Chongxi who were walking not far from them on horseback, and asked Xia Wenxuan: "Uncle, is Mr. Wu going to your house too? Will he teach at your house?"

"En." Xia Wenxuan responded lightly.

"Then... can Su Huan go and listen?" Su Huan asked again.

"Yes." Xia Wenxuan still answered very simply.

"Great!" Su Huan smiled happily.

This child is so easy to satisfy, which made Xia Wenxuan inexplicably distressed.He shook off the different feeling in his heart, frowned and continued on his way.

At sunset, they finally arrived in the capital.The capital of Xia Kingdom is located in the south, with a humid climate, it is a good place to raise people.

Xia Wenxuan and Guo Yang stopped not far from the city gate at the same time, and walked into the city with Su Huan and Wu Chongxi.

Xia Wenxuan's pace was so fast that Su Huan had to trot to keep up.

"Ah!" Su Huan accidentally tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground.

"Still dizzy? Why can't you even walk?" Xia Wenxuan picked him up and continued on the road.

Su Huan shook his head and said he was not dizzy, and obediently nestled into Xia Wenxuan's arms.

They walked through the market, walked across the magpie bridge, came to the gate of the palace, and entered the palace with Guo Yang's token.Guo Yang is the commander of the Imperial Guard, so Xia Wenxuan gave him a token to enter and leave the palace at any time.

The road to Qingliangdian went smoothly. Guo Yang did not follow Xia Wenxuan back to Qingliangdian, but took Wu Chongxi to settle down first.

"Let Ai's family in, Ai's family wants to see the emperor." A woman's voice could be heard from a distance, her voice sounded a bit old, and she might have been in a high-ranking relationship all year round, and she spoke with an irresistible aura.

When Xia Wenxuan heard this, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

He walked into a small door with Su Huan in his arms, and under the surprised eyes of all the palace people behind the door, he climbed into the courtyard wall of Qingliang Hall a few times.

Was that the emperor just now?

Isn't the emperor sick?

Who is that kid?

Everyone is full of questions.

"Ah, my lord, you are finally back!" Not long after sneaking into the Qingliang Palace through the back door, a short and fat man in eunuch uniform

He hurriedly rushed to Xia Wenxuan.

This man looks like a middle-aged uncle, but he has no beard, and the expression on his face is very similar to that of an old woman who has been worrying all the year round.Seeing his exaggerated movements, Su Huan giggled.

"Li Yuan, the queen mother is outside?" Xia Wenxuan handed Su Huan to him, and said: "Give him a wash first, and then find a room to live in."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Then... Where is the Empress Dowager?" Li Yuan asked Su Huan while holding Su Huan.

"Zhen will take care of it." Xia Wenxuan said, walked into the inner room and said, "Change clothes." The court ladies in Shangyi rushed up to change him into a dragon robe and a dragon crown.

Su Huan turned his head three times at a step, looked in Xia Wenxuan's direction anxiously, and opened his mouth to call Uncle, but was led by Li Yuan to turn a corner, and Xia Wenxuan immediately disappeared from his sight.

"Ask Li Yuan to come out! Where did you get the emperor? You can't even see Ai's family? Is there any law for the king!" The queen mother was stopped by a group of slaves in front of the Qingliang hall, and she was already furious. When he was about to force his way in, the door of Qingliang Hall opened.

"Mother Jin'an." Xia Wenxuan appeared in front of her imposingly in a dragon robe.

Although there was a look of exhaustion on her face, the queen mother finally saw that her son was well, and she let out a long sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you have been away from court for many days due to illness, and Ai's family is very worried. These servants stopped him again." Don't let them in, I'm sorry for my family, I'm always hanging on."

"The empress dowager is worried, my son is already healed. The imperial doctor said it would be contagious, so they stopped him from entering the Qingliang Palace." Xia Wenxuan immediately comforted the empress dowager with these few words.

But the queen mother still groped around on Xia Wenxuan worriedly: "Is everything all right? Are you all right? Let the queen mother take a look."

"It's all right, Queen Mother." Knowing that this was his habit of always being injured in battles all year round, the Queen Mother always had to check whether he was injured or not.

"Mother, you should go back to the palace first, and my son has to deal with some business, so I'll go see you tomorrow." Xia Wenxuan said, and immediately ordered the eunuchs at the side to send the queen mother back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the young master has ordered someone to bathe and change clothes for him, and the wing room is also ready, and it is in the Nuan Pavilion at the back of Qingliang Hall." Li Yuan came behind Xia Wenxuan at some point, and reported in a low voice.

"Understood, Xuan Qi Ruibai entered the palace." Xia Wenxuan walked towards the direction of the imperial study room. After leaving for many days, the backlog of things should be dealt with.

Qi Ruibai came very quickly, Xia Wenxuan guessed that he was probably waiting for his call.

"See the emperor." He walked into the imperial study room under Li Yuan's notice, and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Exemption from etiquette." Xia Wenxuan is most annoyed by this red tape, especially when it is applied to Qi Ruibai, it is especially unharmonious, "What's going on in Beijing these days?"

"Go back to the emperor, everything in Beijing is fine." Qi Ruibai said.

"Everything in Beijing is safe, you fly pigeons every day to urge me to come back and what to do!" Xia Wenxuan restrained himself from shouting, his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking that you don't think about food and tea, so I look forward to your early return." In the end, he even raised his orchid finger.

"How long will it take for the envoy from Dawan Kingdom to arrive?" Xia Wenxuan was already familiar with his unscrupulous tricks, and completely ignored what he said.

Qi Ruibai: "Back to the emperor, about three days."

"En," Xia Wenxuan nodded, "Li Yuan, Cheng Zhonghuai from Xuanli Department, Yuan Long from Military Department, and the other four ministers."

On this day, Xia Wenxuan was busy in the imperial study until very late, and his important officials were also tossed very late by him.Except for the Prime Minister Qi Ruibai, the others didn't know that Xia Wenxuan had just returned from the palace, they only thought that the emperor had been ill for a few days and worked harder to the point that both humans and gods were angry.

It was already the evening of the second day when the queen mother saw the emperor. At that time, the queen and the two concubines were talking with her in her palace.

"The emperor came a little late today, but you are not feeling well?" The queen mother sat in the main seat, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, she looked about 40 years old, and there were already fine lines around her eyes.

Xia Wenxuan comforted the queen mother who was about to get up, and sat down beside her: "I'm fine, it's just that I have accumulated a lot of official duties these days, which took some time."

"Mother Wang, grapefruits are warm. Hurry up and peel some of the new grapefruits you bought yesterday, as well as rock sugar pears boiled in the small kitchen. Aijia heard that the emperor's voice is a little hoarse. Eat some to moisten your throat." The queen mother continued. Xia Wenxuan probably got used to the instructions, and let her make arrangements.

"Sit down, there is no need to be formal." Xia Wenxuan said to the queen and second concubine on the other side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three thanked each other and sat down on the stools.

"Is everything safe in the harem these two days?" Xia Wenxuan asked Queen Wei, Wei knew about Xia Wenxuan leaving the palace in micro-clothes, if she hadn't been there, the Empress Dowager would have broken into Qingliang Palace long ago.

Wei Shi nodded: "Go back to the emperor, everything is fine." Wei Shi looked as big as Xia Wenxuan, sitting there with lowered eyebrows and eyes, very gentle and quiet.Speaking of this micro-service, the emperor probably went there for their only son, Jin Li, in order to invite Taifu Wu back to teach Jin Li.

"It has been more than a year since the emperor ascended the throne." The melons and fruit syrups named by the queen mother came up, and Xia Wenxuan ate a little bit at a time. It's time to arrange an audition, since the concubine Shu was canonized when he ascended the throne, the emperor has never enriched the harem."

Sure enough, he was afraid of something.Xia Wenxuan felt that his mother was good at everything, but prompting him to marry a wife, take a concubine and have children would be fatal.Of course, this may have something to do with his own ghosts.

Xia Wenxuan ate a mouthful of rock candy pears, and when he was thinking about how to shirk, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Shu actually giggling.The veins on Xia Wenxuan's forehead popped up. At this time, he didn't know that the rescuer was actually gloating. He was probably the only one who encountered this kind of forced marriage by the queen mother. He didn't want to accept it, but the concubines were watching it as a joke.

Sitting on Concubine Shu's left is the imperial concubine.She had no expression on her face from beginning to end, even though Concubine Shu was secretly poking her hard, she just twitched the corners of her mouth to show that she was listening.

At this time, Xia Wenxuan wished for a woman who could cry, make trouble and hang herself, but would not allow him to accept a concubine!

The Wei family maintained her usual virtuous and virtuous appearance, and compounded the words of the queen mother: "What the queen mother said is that the emperor now only has the eldest prince Jinli, who is a concubine, and the eldest princess Xilan, who is a noble concubine, so he should accept more newcomers. It can also be more lively."

The Empress Dowager nodded appreciatively for Wei Shi's knowledge and interest, "It's better to leave this matter to the Empress. The Ai family is old and doesn't like places with many people."

The queen was about to agree, but Xia Wenxuan interjected forcefully: "Mother, I have only been enthroned for one year, and my foundation is still unstable. I really don't care about love affairs. Let's wait a few years before we talk about it."

"How can this be done?" As soon as this remark came out, the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows immediately, "As an emperor, accepting a concubine is not only a matter of love and moon, but also a major event of the country. As an emperor, you must spread your branches and leaves to maintain the prosperity of the country forever. "

Xia Wenxuan's ears were already ringing from hearing these words, but he couldn't tell the Queen Mother that your son can't treat women well, and your granddaughter isn't his own, right?

"Empress Dowager," the noble concubine who had been silent all this time came out at this time, "It may be difficult for Empress Dowager to handle such a big matter by herself, so it is better to let the courtiers and concubines assist the emperor to arrange the draft for the emperor together."

Xia Wenxuan's old blood stagnates in his heart, why even the noble concubine came to get involved.Just as he was thinking, he received the little look from the noble concubine.

"Queen, the imperial concubine's idea is good, let's do it this way, you assist the empress, and you must handle this matter well." Xia Wenxuan specially emphasized the word "good", and received a "you don't worry" look from the imperial concubine.Considering that the concubine has always been reliable, just trust her once.

"Your Majesty." Li Yuan ran in at this time, out of breath, it seemed that he ran back and forth between the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace and Qingliang Palace.

"What are you in such a panic about?" Xia Wenxuan frowned, put down the fruit he was eating, and called the maid to clean her hands.

Li Yuan stared at the empress dowager dissatisfiedly, and said to Xia Wenxuan: "Your Majesty, young master, he suddenly vomited and diarrhea, do you want to call the imperial physician?"

"Young master?" These three words circled Xia Wenxuan's mind, but he didn't remember who it was.

"It's...it's your majesty...that little boy you brought back." As soon as Li Yuan said this, the eyes of several women in the room all turned to him.

Concubine Shu's eyes almost said, Your Majesty, how could you not let the little boy go?

It can be seen that Xia Wenxuan has the urge to hit a woman.

"Little boy?" The Queen Mother was very sensitive to these three words, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
