...

After the scattering court, Liu Ce walked back to the harem, replaced the black dragon robe on his body, and planned to go to the imperial garden to relax.

"I'm just the emperor?"

Liu Ce muttered in front of the mirror, to be honest, he couldn't believe that he had become the pinnacle of a country's power.

Looking back on my first arrival in this world, I was just an unknown man who could not even save his life and struggled on the brink of life and death every day.

Unexpectedly, after nine years, I have now sat on the throne of the emperor. Sometimes I wake up from my dream and still feel a little unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to accompany you to the Imperial Garden?"

Liu Ce changed into casual clothes. As soon as he left the house, an eunuch who was about fifty years old had been waiting here for a long time.

The eunuch named Wang Xiaoyu was originally a low-level eunuch in the palace of the previous dynasty. After Liu Ce established the country, he wanted to dismiss all eunuchs in the palace and strictly ordered the castration that made men suffer for life.

But the reality is that if these eunuchs were driven out of the palace, then these eunuchs who had been in the palace since childhood would not be able to adapt to the life outside the palace. They might cause psychological distortion due to long-term depression and endanger social security.

Therefore, Liu Ce continued to stay in the palace to serve the palace, doing some miscellaneous work within his ability, and the rest were also arranged to work everywhere.

As for Wang Xiaoyu, Liu Ce saw that he was a man of duty and never intrigues and participated in the palace internal struggle, so he stayed with him with confidence.

These eunuchs in the palace will be the first batch of eunuchs in the Han Dynasty and the only ones. Because Liu Ce has issued an order, the palace punishment will be abolished in the future, and the profession of eunuchs will soon become history.

Liu Ce looked at Wang Xiaoyu and finally nodded and said, "Please accompany me to the Imperial Garden..."

"Old slave obeys the order..." After Wang Xiaoyu received the order, he acted as a support.

Liu Ce was slightly stunned, and was still not used to letting someone walk with him, but he still put his right wrist on Wang Xiaoyu's hand and walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden.

In the Imperial Garden...

A four or five-year-old child held an unopened sword in his hand, staggering his steps and stabbed forward, vaguely at the beginning.

Next to the sword-training child, another child was trying hard to pull a powerful bow and arrow. He was blushing and exerting his strength, but he could only pull a little bit away.

These two children are naturally Liu Che who practices swordsmanship, and Liu Cong who practices bows.

Around them, there were more than a dozen palace maids and guards standing in case the two princes made a mistake.

Liu Ce silently followed his two sons. After one of them collected their swords and the other collected their bows, he then walked towards them with his hands on his back.

"Meet the Father..."

"See Your Majesty~~"

As soon as the two children saw Liu Ce, they immediately stood up to salute, and the palace maids and guards around them quickly salute in sequence.

Liu Ce waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just flatter..." Then he walked to the two children.

Liu Ce first looked at Liu Che, leaned down and asked, "Che'er, your swordsmanship is much more advanced, and my father is very pleased."

Liu Che replied very politely: "It's all taught by Uncle Jiao, and the sons dare not ask themselves..."

Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction. Since Liu Che entered the palace, Liu Ce finally had the opportunity to educate Liu Che. After his observation, he found that Liu Che was involved in almost all categories of literature, but only in physical skills, it was a bit disappointing.

And so, Liu Ce asked Liu Che to take at least one hour a day to train physical skills, including swordsmanship, equestrianism, etc., and Jiao Luo gloriously became the prince's mentor.

Liu Ce patted Liu Che's head and smiled, then looked at Liu Cong: "Where are you? How are you practicing archery?"

Liu Cong said with a hard mouth: "Report to my father, my son is too weak to pull the bow."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ce took the bow from Liu Cong, pulled it gently, and said to him with a smile: "Cong'er, I can't remember anything, take it slowly. I heard your mother say that you are unwilling to eat recently. Is this true?"

Liu Cong replied: "Reported to my father, the weather is hot, and my son's appetite is getting worse and worse, so I have eaten very little recently."

Liu Ce shook his head and said, "This is not possible. If you don't eat, you can't pull the bow? It's not good for your health. Let's do this. My father asked the imperial kitchen to put some plums into your meal to make you appetizer. As long as you have the strength, you can dance like your royal brother, just like yours..."

"My son is obeying the teachings of the father..."

When facing Liu Ce, Liu Cong was much more generous than Liu Che. After all, he followed Song Yanran's teachings since childhood and naturally had to be much more outgoing.

Liu Ce was very satisfied when he looked at his two blood relatives and flesh. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a cry sounded outside the imperial garden from afar.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

I saw that the former Liang Hou was coming to Liu Cexing with the name of Mrs. Liang, with Ma Chao, the son of Dayi Gongweikang and Ma Guocheng.

But Wei Kang and Ma Chao both had bruised noses and swollen faces, and tears never stopped.

When he arrived in front of Liu Ce, Mrs. Liang bowed slightly to Liu Ce and said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have come to find you for some trivial matters, but look at what the sons of Kang'er and Ma Duwei were beaten up..."

Liu Ce was stunned and asked, "Mrs. Liang, what's going on?"

Mrs. Liang was about to speak, but after some reason she lamented, she shook her head gently, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

Liu Ce frowned and said to Mrs. Liang: "Madam has something to say, but it doesn't matter. What kind of person do you still understand? Who beats these two children? I will definitely give you justice."

Mrs. Liang then said, "Your Majesty, I said, don't get angry. They... they... were beaten by Princess Anning..."

"What? Princess Anning?"

When Liu Ce heard this, his chin was so shocked that his chin almost fell, because this Princess An Ning was no one else, but Liu Yu, the daughter of Ye Yin.

"Just talk nonsense..." Liu Ce obviously didn't believe it, "Yu'er is only six years old, not to mention that she is a daughter. Kang'er and Ma Chao are not only men, but also older than Yu'er. How could she be beaten like this by her?

Mrs. Liang, it’s not that I intend to protect my shortcomings, but that this matter is too exaggerated. If you want to say it out, who will believe it?”

Mrs. Liang sighed, "Yes, I don't believe it, but if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have come to the palace to argue with the emperor today.

Although Princess An Ning is young, her temper should be changed. Since he entered the school, no child of the same age is not afraid of her..."

Liu Ce frowned, let Liu Che and Liu Cong move freely, and squatted down and asked Wei Kang and Ma Chao, "Tell me, why are you beaten like this?"

Wei Kang cried and said, "We saw His Royal Highness the Princess bringing three dogs to the school today. Because the dog is beautiful, he asked her if she wanted to borrow one to play with it. However, His Royal Highness refused and started to fight..."

Liu Ce was stunned and said, "You didn't lie to me? You just started to do this?"

Ma Chao, who was standing beside him, wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess is so fierce. We were so miserable with the wooden sword..."

Liu Ce stroked his head gently, not knowing how to deal with this matter. Looking at the two children with black and blue faces, you can imagine how heavy Liu Yu was to take action.

Finally, Liu Ce couldn't help but say, "Then won't you fight back and let her fight?"

He didn't expect that as soon as he said this, he regretted it. As long as he had normal IQ, he could hear it. Liu Ce was obviously protecting his shortcomings.

Mrs. Liang immediately said to Liu Ce with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, how can you say this? Do you still want to see children fighting each other?"

Just when Liu Ce was in a dilemma and was thinking about how to reply to Mrs. Liang's words, Ma Chao gave a magical assist: "Of course we fought back, but Wei Kang and I can't beat Liu Yu together..."

Mrs. Liang glared at Ma Chao in anger, regretting that she brought him into the palace.

Liu Ce smiled slightly, then stood up, and said righteously: "Don't worry, Mrs. Liang, I will definitely give you justice in this matter. You can take your two children to Qingliang Temple to take a rest to avoid the heat."

"Then it will be your Majesty..."

After talking, Mrs. Liang took Wei Kang and Ma Chao to the Qingliang Palace.

After they left, Liu Ce turned around and asked Liu Che and Liu Cong, "Tell your father honestly, did your elder sister have the same temper when she was in the Far East?"

The two children looked at each other and nodded timidly. Only Liu Cong said: "The emperor loves to dance with swords and guns, and often likes to fight with people!"

When Liu Ce heard this, his face gradually darkened and he said to himself: "It's time to take care of it. If you don't care, you're really lawless, Xiaoyu..."

"I'm here..." Wang Xiaoyu replied respectfully.

Liu Ce said: "Come Princess An Ning immediately. I will teach her a lesson!"

Wang Xiaoyu replied: "I'll go find Princess An Ning now."

...

In the side hall, Liu Ce was sitting in the center of the main seat. On the left were Wei Kang and Ma Chao, who had just applied plaster, were eating ice cheese. Mrs. Liang sat down helplessly.

On the right side are the two brothers Liu Che and Liu Cong sitting straight. Although the coffee table next to them is filled with fruit smoothies, they are not moving at all.

After a while, Song Yanran and Ye Yin, who learned about this situation, rushed over.

One of these two people is biological mother and the other adoptive mother, and they are very worried about Liu Yu's disaster.

As soon as Song Yanran entered Qingliang Hall, she glanced at Liu Ce with a gloomy face, then came to Mrs. Liang and bowed to her to salute: "I have met Mrs. Liang, and I want to apologize to you for the current situation of the noble son..."

Mrs. Liang also hurriedly replied: "I have met Song Zhaorong and Ye Zhaoyi..."

Liu Ce divided the wife of the harem into numbers in order, Jiang Ruoyan was the imperial concubine, from the first-rank concubine, Song Yanran was the Zhaorong, the second-rank concubine, Ye Yin and Xue Ruoyuan were both Zhaoyi, and the second-rank concubine. As for Princess Mengluo was Shu Yu, she was one rank lower than Wei Ying's Jieyu.

The rear position is empty, and at present, everything is Song Yanran temporarily assists Jiang Ruoyan in the harem.

Shortly after returning the gift, Wang Xiaoyu led Liu Yu into Qingliang Hall.
