The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 370
Brother Gan looked at his father and mother's loving and tacit understanding, and was very envious. With the warm appearance of his parents in an ordinary family, he understood why his father made such a choice.

With a lover by his side, he has more motivation to reform and complete the great cause in his heart. He can also keep clear about his rights at all times, and he doesn't linger when he should let go, because he has love in his heart, he is no longer lonely, and he no longer needs power. To be the pillar in his heart, he has too many good things to hold on to, and he doesn't need to rely on power to comfort and fill himself.

"Father, I will work hard."

"Well, it's still early, go help me approve those papers, I will accompany your mother to the yard to draw the afterglow of the sunset."

Li Chengze directs his son to work without any guilt, what is the purpose of having a son, of course it is to run errands.

Brother Gan sighed resignedly and sat in front of the desk to review the papers. Now more than half of the papers have been reviewed by him, and all the officials turned a blind eye.

Li Chengze spared some time to accompany Huilan. Although he could not completely let go, it would be good to spend more time with his lover. He also picked up entertainment such as painting and boxing, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion with Huilan to read a lot of books. Open up the mood, less the irritability and pressure brought by the court, and more peaceful and objective state of mind.

The two asked the servants to take the drawing boards and go hand in hand to draw the afterglow of the sunset in the imperial garden. It is autumn, and the residual lotus in the yard is worth painting a few strokes.

Sitting in front of the drawing board, Huilan glanced at Li Chengze, "Each of us draws one picture, and then we will compare who draws better. The loser must promise the other party a condition, and we are not allowed to play tricks."

Li Chengze chuckled, "Okay, it doesn't matter if I agree with you, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

"Come on, the defeated general dares to speak boldly, come on, let's see the truth by having a competition."

Huilan snorted, picked up the brush and started to paint, feeling very confident.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, dragging out long shadows. The two looked focused. They obviously had no communication, but the atmosphere blended together and could not be separated. The handsome and majestic emperor and the calm but beautiful and graceful queen complemented each other perfectly. It makes people feel that this scene is so beautiful and moving.

The residual lotus in the pond is a little faded, but it has a lonely and bleak beauty.

Brother Lian ran back from nowhere, and saw his father and mother seriously painting, without disturbing him, he poured tea and sat there drinking tea, admiring the beauty of the withered lotus.

After a while, Huilan and Li Chengze put down their pens and admired their own paintings. Brother Lian ran over, "Father Huang painted well, but the mother's residual lotus is missing something."

"Look, I won."

Li Chengze raised the corners of his mouth proudly, as happy as a child who got candy.

Huilan looked left and compared, gave Brother Lian a blank look, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I lost, and it's cheaper for you, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"In a few days, you can accompany me to the farm to soak in the hot springs, and then make me clothes. You have been lazy and haven't made clothes for me for a long time."

Li Chengze complained dissatisfied.

Huilan laughed, "Okay, okay, let's make you a regular uniform."

After becoming an emperor, many clothes are regulated, not casually worn, so Huilan also made him shoes or something, clothes have never been made, and more often wear dragon robes, and many ordinary clothes are auspicious. It is embroidered with dragons. This is too troublesome, and it will not be good to embroider in a few months.

"It's not too bad, it's getting cold, let's go back."

Li Chengze pulled Huilan up and went back to Kunning Palace.

"And me, don't take me with you."

"If you are free to help your brother review papers?"

Li Chengze glanced at his son with cold eyes, his lack of vision disturbed our love.

"Ah, it's getting late that day, and I'll go to rest too. I'm going to review the homework that the master told me. After the father and mother, the son will go back first."

As soon as Brother Lian heard that he wanted to critique the papers, he immediately ran away without hesitation, just kidding, it was very tiring and annoying to critique papers.

"Then get out and don't bother us."

Li Chengze sent his youngest son away, and took his wife back.

"There are several weddings going to be held in the spring of next year. I'm going to do sister Xin's wedding, and brother-in-law's. I plan to go see the little girl from the Xu family after finishing the wedding."

Huilan talked to him about the children.

"Okay, I've greeted the Xu family, the girl from the Xu family is going to be drafted next year, she's still young, she has to wait, she's not in a hurry to get married."

"Well, I don't know where Brother Zhuo has gone, and there is no letter."

Huilan sighed, a little worried.

"It's okay, he's a brat, so there's nothing to worry about. Kungfu is the best among the kids, and many people can't beat him just by his strength."

Li Chengze raised his sons rougher, but he treated his daughter meticulously and tenderly, but his son didn't have this kind of treatment.

"That's right, I also want to go out and learn more. Are you planning to let Brother Gan become the prince and go to court to discuss matters?"

"Well, also help me share some courage. I am really tired of working hard these years, and I am not attached to the power of the emperor. Only when I am in the bureau do I understand that the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility and burden. After all, it is necessary to cultivate young people. It’s better to prepare early if you are in charge.”

Li Chengze also started to take care of the affairs ahead of time, he couldn't fall down suddenly like his father, and rely on his own groping, that would be too tiring.

"Alright, you can figure it out. I really don't understand the affairs of the court, so I won't interrupt. I will help you teach your daughter-in-law well, so that she can take down the palace affairs as soon as possible and share a part or two for the elder brother. I'm quite I like Xiaoya, she and Zhou Ying have different personalities, more flexible and warm."

"Well, I heard that Sister Xin is learning to talk. I hope she can take on the important role of the mother of the country in the future. If Brother Gan really likes her that much, let him go. My son won't be able to control so much when he grows up."

"Is the concubine's matter settled?"

"I don't know. My son said he would choose by himself. I agreed after thinking about it. It's impossible not to choose. All the officials don't agree. If all the officials accept me, I will only spoil you. It has a lot to do with your own ability and arrogance, but It may not be able to accommodate a daughter-in-law, once a hundred officials unite to fight against the emperor, it will be a huge resistance, the power of a hundred officials should not be underestimated, otherwise there would not be so many puppet emperors in history."

Li Chengze patted Huilan's hand, not because he didn't care about his son's wishes and preferences, but because there was too much resistance, many family officials wanted their daughter to enter the palace.

I am already very dissatisfied with cutting off their hope. Brother Gan will come again, and they will definitely not agree. If they are in a hurry, they will kill Xiaoya. There are countless things about poisoning and assassination in the palace. There are conflicts of interest.

The temptation of being able to give birth to a prince and a princess is really too great. It is so big that you can take the risk and put all your eggs in one basket. As long as the emperor's lover dies completely, then other people can take the throne.

Huilan sighed, "You have helped me avoid many dangers these years. I know that Xiao Yuanzi sometimes sneaks out without telling me anything. I have been spoiled by you all these years. Silly child."

"I'm happy with it, it's my pleasure, watching those people make clowns, I'm very happy to watch the excitement, you can't take my hobby away."

Li Chengze lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
