Upon hearing the arrival of Crown Prince Li Jinze, Emperor Jingfeng and Li Jinche looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then Li Jinche stepped aside consciously, lowering his head as a respectful attendant, completely losing the bold intimacy just now.

Although Emperor Jingfeng liked his second son, he was not that thick-skinned after all. He could not yet express his preference for Li Jinche openly in front of the prince.

Seeing Li Jinche standing neatly, Emperor Jingfeng turned his attention back to Ning Fuhai and said calmly: "Well, let the prince come in."

After a while, Li Jinze walked into the imperial study and knelt down towards Emperor Jingfeng: "My son, I would like to see my father."

Emperor Jingfeng raised his hand: "Without courtesy, Prince, please get up."

After Li Jinze finished saluting Emperor Jingfeng, Li Jinche also quickly saluted him: "I have met the eldest brother of the emperor."

Li Jinze nodded to him in agreement.Then his eyes fell on Li Jinche and saw him standing aside, several steps away from Emperor Jingfeng's desk, with a respectful attitude, as if he was listening to Emperor Jingfeng's teachings and reprimands. Everything seemed normal. .

However, the soundproofing of the Imperial Study Room was not very good. Li Jinze could hear clearly just now from the outside. There were laughter and talking inside, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It was obvious that Li Jinche was acting coquettishly with Emperor Jingfeng, and it was a scene of father and son having a good time.

But as soon as he came in, the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly changed. The two of them deliberately looked distant and indifferent. Were they acting to show him?
Thinking of this, Li Jinze sneered inwardly, suddenly feeling a bit ironic.

Emperors are so ruthless. The father and son of the Tian family are different from ordinary people. Emperor Jingfeng is his father and his king at the same time. Maintaining respect and fear is the attitude he should have towards Emperor Jingfeng.

If Emperor Jingfeng had the same attitude towards all princes and princesses, Li Jinze would accept it well, because this is what it should be.

But in fact this was not the case. Emperor Jingfeng not only treated them differently, but also showed obvious partiality.Emperor Jingfeng and Li Jinche could laugh, scold and fight, and naturally get along well with each other, but they were only distant and indifferent towards him. They always talked about things and never said a single unnecessary word.

It seemed that to Emperor Jingfeng, Li Jinche was his son, and he was just his minister.

Li Jinze's heart felt so sour that he quickly lowered his head to hide the heat in his eyes, and silently took several deep breaths before he felt relieved.

Although Li Jinze has been accustomed to such treatment since he was a child, he is only 14 years old after all. It is still a bit cruel for him to completely ignore these things.

Seeing that Li Jinze didn't move at the same place, Emperor Jingfeng glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter, Prince?"

Li Jinze's visit was a routine greeting and a report on recent study results.After briefly talking about his study progress these days, he presented the day's homework to Emperor Jingfeng: "Father, please see, this is my son's homework. The gentlemen of Wenhua Hall have already reviewed it. I also want to hear my father’s opinion.”

Li Jinche on the side couldn't suppress his curiosity, quietly stood on tiptoes and glanced at Li Jinze's homework.

I have to say that Li Jinze did a good job in his homework, and his handwriting was neat and neat, with no smearing at all.Although he couldn't see the specific content, judging from the traces of the ink circles drawn by the gentlemen in the big block, it should be very well written.

After reading Li Jinze's homework from beginning to end, Emperor Jingfeng nodded, with a smile finally showing on his face: "Well...it's okay. The prince has been studying very seriously recently. Keep it up and don't relax."

You must know that Emperor Jingfeng has always been very strict with the prince's academic studies. He has been diligent and studious since he was a child. While studying, he can also keep such a large palace in order. He uses himself to educate others, so he naturally has higher requirements for the princes. .If the princes make even the slightest mistake or omission in their homework, Emperor Jingfeng will find out and severely reprimand them. If they fail to study hard and default on their homework, the consequences will be even more serious.

The third prince was casual and lazy by nature, and his studies were so-so. One time, Emperor Jingfeng was checking his homework. He was afraid of being scolded, so he temporarily handed over a ghost painting charm to deal with it.As a result, Emperor Jingfeng was furious and called the Feiyu Guards on the spot, beating the third prince's butt into a mess even more than his homework book.

After that, every time Emperor Jingfeng checked his homework, the princes were trembling with fear, fearing that he would make mistakes.It's not easy for Emperor Jingfeng to avoid being scolded. His sentence is "fair", which is already a very good evaluation.

As a result, even Li Jinche couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

It was a rare compliment from Emperor Jingfeng. Li Jinze couldn't hold back his excitement and said hurriedly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely continue to work hard, study hard, and strive to relieve my father's worries as soon as possible."

Seeing that Li Jinze was doing well in his studies, Emperor Jingfeng turned his attention to him and began to seriously look at his successor.Thinking of Feiyu Guard's recent report, he asked: "I heard from Feiyu Guard that you have been out of the palace recently. Why?"

Li Jinze responded: "Teacher is getting older, and his health is getting worse and worse. He had an illness last month, which became more and more serious. Now he has reached the point where he can't get out of bed. I am worried about him and have to go to the toilet when he is free." Go out of the palace often to see the teacher."

After hearing this, Emperor Jingfeng remembered the news about Zhou Minqing's leave last month. It had indeed been a long time since he had seen him.

After all, he was the prince's teacher. When Zhou Minqing was seriously ill, Emperor Jingfeng should have intervened, but he didn't expect that he could not do as well as a half-year-old Li Jinze in this regard.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingfeng felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed twice as if to cover up and said nonchalantly: "So that's the case, then you really should go and take a look often. At the beginning, you seriously worshiped Zhou Minqing as your teacher. Zhou Minqing was not only The gentleman who imparts knowledge to the prince is also your personal teacher."

"Now that he is ill, you should do your best to serve as a disciple and go to his bedside to serve him. At this time, it would be too rigid to limit yourself to the rules of king and minister."

Li Jinze couldn't see Emperor Jingfeng's guilty conscience, but he still responded one by one: "What the father said is true, and all my sons and ministers understand."

Emperor Jingfeng said: "Well, that's it for today. If nothing happens, just retreat."

"My son retire."

As soon as Li Jinze walked out of the imperial study, he heard voices reappearing in the room. It seemed that Li Jinche was asking Emperor Jingfeng for the inkstone on the desk. The father and son were joking and laughing, just like before he came.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Jinze's lips: Even if you are acting, why don't you want to act for a little longer?
Outside the Imperial Study Room, the sun was about to set. The sunset after the rain was even more vivid than usual. It was as red as a flame, lighting up half of the sky in the distance.

It's a pity that Li Jinze is not in the mood to enjoy the scenery now. The scene of Emperor Jingfeng and Li Jinche having fun just now lingers in his mind. His throat is so choked that he almost slips when he is lost and lost.

At this time, a hand appeared in time and supported him: "Your Highness, be careful."
