Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 721

[Extraordinary Li Jue (1)]

“Mother,”

The familiar cheerful voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Mingyu looked over with a smile.

After studying in the study, Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong came to Jiaofangdian for lunch together.

The one who shouted loudly was none other than Li Yun.

The ten-year-old Crown Prince Li Jue has grown a lot this year, and under the careful guidance of the grand masters, he has become more and more calm.

When walking, he is not hurried or slow, and he has the demeanor of a prince.

Li Xuan’s facial features gradually opened up, and his black eyes were bright and agile.

The period of filial piety in the palace has passed, and Li Xuan is wearing a rouge-colored palace dress today. These bright colors make Li Xuan’s skin as bright and beautiful as snow.

.

Li Yun was still round and fat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and rushed over after entering the Jiaofang Hall.

Lu Mingyu smiled helplessly, reached out to catch the younger son who was rushing over, and said angrily, “I’m not afraid of falling when I run so fast.”

Li Cong grinned and said with a grin, “I know my mother will catch me.”

During the conversation, Li Jue and Li Xuan also came over, one handed over and the other held back: “I have seen my mother.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, “There are no outsiders, so I will salute everyone. Come and sit down.”

Li Xuan moved a step faster, sat down beside Lu Mingyu, and muttered in a low voice: “I’m not a big brother, I often talk in my ear, saying that I should be respectful and filial to my father, mother and queen, and I can’t lose my etiquette. The family is an example for all officials and the people, and every move must conform to the rules. It gives me a headache.”

Li Jue maintained a polite and courteous princely demeanor in front of others, and privately quarreled with Li Xuan, saying, “What’s wrong with what I said. This is what Taifu has repeatedly told me to tell you, and it’s a good intention.”

Li Xuan sneered: “Who wants your kindness. You are the crown prince, and everyone is watching your every move. As a princess, I am domineering and rude. As long as the father, queen and mother are happy, no one dares to talk too much.”

Li Jue: “…”

Li Jue was blocked and his chest felt tight.

After becoming the prince, the gaze that fell on him was more than ten times that of the previous one.

His father’s expectations for him were also much higher.

Since last year, let him enter the Funing Hall to serve the pen and ink, and listen to the courtiers’ discussions.

All the ministers looked at him with the eyes of “His Royal Highness is really smart and calm”.

Of course he was happy, and the invisible pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

He sometimes feels very tired, and he is reluctant to talk to his father and queen, and occasionally he will talk to his twin sister.

When Li Xuan was in a good mood, he would comfort him, but when he was unhappy like this, he would shove him far away with one mouth.

Li Xuan’s words prevailed, and he was happy for a while. Seeing that Li Xuan was gloomy, he felt a little regretful.

With a cough, he took the initiative to make peace with Li Jue: “I just said it casually, brother, don’t take it to heart.”

Li Jue was enraged: “I’m an hour older than you, so I should let you go everywhere, right?”

Li Xuan coaxed people, and his mouth was very sweet: “You are a manly man, don’t care about the girl’s family.”

It is common for the two brothers and sisters to quarrel, and they soon reconciled.

Lu Mingyu frowned slightly when he saw it in his eyes.

After lunch, Lu Mingyu asked Li Xuan to take Li Cong to take a nap first, leaving only Li Jue.

“Brother Jue, do you have something on your mind?” Lu Mingyu asked softly.

Li Jue pursed her lips and replied in a low voice, “No.”

Not to mention that.

Lu Mingyu was helpless and distressed, and held his son’s hand: “What’s the matter? In front of the mother, there is nothing to hide. I see you feeling a little annoyed today.”

The daughter avoids the father, the son avoids the mother.

Since Li Jue was seven years old, she hadn’t been so close to her own mother.

At this time, his mother held hands and asked with tenderness and pity on his face. The grievances in Li Jue’s heart suddenly surged up.

“Mother,” Li Jue lowered her head, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and whispered, “I’m a little tired. Since last year, several master tutors have taught me lessons, and the lectures are getting faster and faster. There is also a lot of homework. I don’t dare to be distracted in class every day, and I have to concentrate fully to understand.”

“I have twice as much homework after school every day as my companions. The royal father often calls me to go to the Funing Hall to listen to government affairs, and when the patriarchs are discussing matters, they occasionally ask me to say a few words.

I am afraid that if I say it badly, I will lose the face of the father.

Listen hard and think hard every time.

”

“Walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, everyone was staring at me, and I couldn’t say a word wrong. I was always tense and couldn’t relax.”

“It’s been a long time, and I feel tired.”

Saying that, he quickly raised his head and glanced at Lu Mingyu, lest there would be dissatisfaction in his mother’s eyes.

Lu Mingyu felt a pain in her heart, and stretched out her hand to put her son in her arms: “You feel tired, why didn’t you say it earlier.”

He’s only ten years old!

When I was young, I had to bear so many expectations, and heavy pressure was placed on my thin shoulders.

Li Jue’s eyes were red and he said in a low voice, “I don’t dare to say, I’m afraid that my father and mother will be disappointed in me, and I’m also afraid that my ministers will be disappointed in me, the prince.”

Lu Mingyu’s nose was full of sourness, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com reached out and patted Li Jue’s back: “Silly boy, why are you so stupid. You feel tired, just open your mouth, reduce your homework, and go to politics less often. Some. How could we be disappointed with you.”

“Okay, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll tell your father about this.”

Li Jue was overjoyed at first, and then a little uneasy: “Will the royal father be angry?”

Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows: “He dares!”

Li Jue was amused and grinned.

Lu Mingyu touched his son’s face and said softly: “It’s like this in the future. If you have any thoughts, just say it. The queen mother will support you and decide.”

Li Jue snorted lightly.

That night, when Li Jing returned to Jiaofang Hall, he saw Lu Mingyu waiting for him with a sullen face.

Li Jing was stunned and quickly reflected: “What have I done to make you unhappy recently?”

Lu Mingyu gave him a white look: “Don’t be sloppy. I have something to tell you.” Tell Li Jing what Li Jue said today.

Li Jing frowned when he heard this.

“…I know you want Brother Jue to grow up quickly and become an excellent prince.” Lu Mingyu sighed: “But don’t forget, he is still a ten-year-old child. Such heavy pressure has taken a long time. Can’t stand it at all.”

“You have to be relaxed and relaxed.”

Li Jing also sighed: “It’s all my fault, I was too hasty and had too high expectations for him. I will tell the master tomorrow to reduce his schoolwork by one-third. In the future, he will be in charge of politics for half a day every five days. ”

Lu Mingyu nodded: “Okay. Also, he hasn’t rested for a long time. I want him to go out of the palace to relax for a few days.”

It’s true that Li Jue hasn’t been out of the palace for a long time.

Li Jing replied without hesitation: “Alright. Let him live in Lu Mansion for a few days!” After a pause, he said with a smile: “You haven’t been back to Lu Mansion for a long time, so take your children back to live for a few days.”
