"My son has met my father and wishes him well!"

"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."

Hearing the voice of the little eunuch outside the door, the Eleventh Prince and Concubine Yun immediately got up and went out to greet them.

"Get up." Emperor Zhengwu nodded and walked into the house. Seeing the eight large food plates on the Eight Immortals table, he said in a deep tone: "It seems that I came at an unlucky time and disturbed my beloved concubine and Xiao Eleven's meal."

Concubine Yun was startled, and just as she was about to speak, the eleventh prince had already stepped forward to help Emperor Zhengwu sit down at the table, "Look what the father said, just now the concubine was talking to her son about the royal meal today."

The room brought steamed flying dragon meat, which is my father’s favorite food.”

"My mother and concubine knew that my father was busy with government affairs, so I was afraid that I didn't have time to eat the flying dragon meat, so I regretted it for a long time." The eleventh prince smiled, with two dimples appearing on his bulging cheeks, and his round, black eyes were sparkling.

, full of the sincerity of young people.

"Humph." Emperor Zhengwu snorted, with a smile on his face. He didn't come here to stir up trouble. Emperor Zhengwu went down the slope, pointed his finger at the table and said with a smile: "Among my sons and daughters, there is no discussion.

You are the one with the sharpest tongue, and no one else can match it."

"Thank you for the compliment." The eleventh prince smiled with a smile on his face, and then turned to look at the pink-clad palace maid aside, "What are you still doing? Why don't you give your father some blessings and bowls and chopsticks?"

"Yes." The palace maid responded and quickly turned around and went out.

The eleventh prince saw that Concubine Yun was still standing aside. He was afraid that Emperor Zhengwu, who had finally calmed down, would get angry again. He thought about it again and again, and finally said with a smile: "Concubine, mother, come and sit here too? I haven't been with my father like this for a while."

Mother and concubine sat down to eat together."

"Eh." Concubine Yun smiled unnaturally and sat down opposite Emperor Zhengwu.

The palace maid quickly brought a new pair of dishes and chopsticks.

There are many royal rules, and they always pay attention to eating and sleeping without speaking. However, Emperor Zhengwu always had some bias towards the eleventh prince. As a result, he could not ask more questions during the meal.

From riding and archery to the Four Books and Five Classics, Emperor Zhengwu would conduct random checks. If the eleventh prince could answer, he would answer. If he was really unsure, he would just say "I am stupid".

As a result, Emperor Zhengwu didn't have anyone to blame him. Instead, he nodded frequently and was very satisfied with the eleventh prince's neither arrogant nor impetuous temperament.

"It doesn't matter, you are still young now, and there are still many days for you to study in the future." Emperor Zhengwu said softly, and then his eyes suddenly fell back on the eleventh prince, "Just one thing, don't rely on your young age to not study hard.

You have wasted your studies and failed to live up to my expectations."

The eleventh prince puffed up his chest and patted his chest, looking firm as a man, "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely study hard and become as outstanding as his brothers in the future, sharing his worries for his father."

Emperor Zhengwu was relieved and happy after hearing this, and asked the eunuch who was serving dishes to go down. He personally picked up a chopstick of flying dragon meat for the eleventh prince, and received a few sincere thanks from the eleventh prince.

Emperor Zhengwu and the Eleventh Prince were not as alienated as they were with other princes, but more like a father and son in an ordinary family. Logically speaking, it was not a bad thing for his son to be liked by Emperor Zhengwu, but Concubine Yun always felt that

I feel uneasy.

Concubine Yun had no intention of competing for favor with the harem, and because of her easy-going temperament, her power was far inferior to that of the other concubines and imperial concubines. The more Emperor Zhengwu doted on the eleventh prince, the more unique he became.

All without exception, he pushed the eleventh prince in front of everyone...

If someone with malicious intentions wants to attack the Eleventh Prince, then...will she be able to protect the Eleventh Prince?

Thinking about something in her mind, Concubine Yun was restless. She shook the chopsticks in her hand, and a piece of white jade lotus root held by the chopsticks fell on the table with a "clack" sound.

Emperor Zhengwu turned his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied and wanted to scold him. The eleventh prince suddenly said: "Father, I haven't seen the prince's brother for some time. Can...can..."

The eleventh prince laughed dryly and was too embarrassed to continue.

Emperor Zhengwu was diverted by the eleventh prince, and after thinking for a moment, he warned: "It's not impossible, but it's a little inappropriate for you to travel alone. I'll send a few people to follow you. It's not safe outside the palace at night. You have to come back before the palace gate is locked."

,do you know?"

"I know that I have thanked my father!" The eleventh prince grinned and immediately stood up and kowtowed in thanks.

"I told you before that there is no need to be polite in private, you, you..." Emperor Zhengwu sighed and said nothing more.

The eleventh prince rubbed the back of his head naively, "My lord, my lord is so happy!"

After the meal, Emperor Zhengwu drank another cup of tea before leaving.

Several palace maids moved quickly and removed the dishes from the table. Concubine Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else in the room.

Concubine Yun pulled the Eleventh Prince over and helped the Eleventh Prince straighten the folds in front of his clothes with her slender hands. Her eyes were full of worry, "You kid..."

The eleventh prince blinked, "Mother, my son did something bad just now?"

Concubine Yun paused her hands and sighed softly for a while.

What's wrong is that if the Eleventh Prince hadn't spoken out, Emperor Zhengwu would have been embarrassed by her mistake.

But, it's just because the performance is so good that it seems abnormal.

The relationship between father and son in the Tian family is very weak. Emperor Zhengwu is interested in the eleventh prince now, but what about the future? If one day the eleventh prince is abandoned by Emperor Zhengwu, then who can protect him?

Her mother-in-law with little power?

Concubine Yun sighed quietly, turning away her eyes and continued to sort out the wrinkles on the eleventh prince's gown, "Concubine Yun hopes that you can break free from the prison of the royal family and become a person who follows freedom and does what you like. You will be free and happy in this life.

Just have fun."

Be true to yourself and follow your own path. The world is vast outside, so what can you do?

"Free and easy?"

Do what you want to do?

The eleventh prince pretended to be confused and lowered his head to cover up the flash of dark light in his eyes.

Concubine Yun nodded and continued: "The world outside is vast, with mountains, water and people. Maybe life is not as rich as in the palace, but it is free and easy. At least, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do, and you don't have to worry about yourself.

One or two words can lead to death."

"My mother-in-law will never harm you."

The eleventh prince lowered his eyes and quickly raised his head. He smiled slightly, his dark eyes as bright and innocent as if they were rubbed into stars, "I know my mother and concubine, and I will definitely live up to my mother and concubine's expectations."

Concubine Yun finally felt relieved and nodded with a smile.

The eleventh prince came out of Concubine Yun's Palace and passed by the rockery pavilion in the Imperial Garden. His steps were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Occasionally he would stop to look at the blooming flowers in the Imperial Garden, looking like an innocent child.
