Chapter 1474 King Jin wants to be a loyal minister
It was still relatively early in the early spring, and the prince had an audience with Emperor Liu, and went to the Kunming Palace to greet him, and went to the Yaohua Palace to visit his mother Gao Guifei. When Liu Xi left the palace, night was approaching, and the entire Luoyang city was quickly surrounded Occupied by a thick layer of mist.

"Go back to the house!" In front of the imperial city, facing the guards who were coming up, Liu Xi just ordered a sentence calmly, making no one see the slightest expression.

Inside the car, leaning on the ground, Liu Xi's young face finally showed a little fatigue.Among the older sons of Emperor Liu, there seems to be one characteristic in common, and so does Liu Xi.

In such a quiet space alone, with eyes slightly closed, I can't help reviewing the harvest of this tour in my mind, whether it is the inspection results of local officials and civil affairs, or the performance of the prince, and even the short interview in the Chuigong Palace.

When everything went back and he opened his eyes again, Liu Xi's fatigue had dissipated, and some fluctuating emotions calmed down.

Sighing lightly, a smile hangs on the corner of his mouth, a little lost, more relieved.As Emperor Liu's son, it would be unrealistic to say that he has no idea about being a big man. It's an extravagant hope, who wouldn't dream of it.

In terms of background, his mother was Concubine Gao, and there was a Gao family behind him. In terms of talent, Liu Xi dare not say that he is amazing, but he is definitely not weaker than others.However, one is not the eldest son, and the other is not a direct descendant. Just these two points are congenital flaws, like a natural moat lying in front of him, which cannot be made up for by acquired efforts.

Of course, this is the same for all the princes who are not the eldest sons. Compared with the prince Liu Yang, who has been named for a long time, they have an innate gap like a gap. What is even more desperate is that Liu Yang Still working hard, but also loyal and filial enough.
From childhood to adulthood, Liu Xi has been consciously keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. Apart from his personality, the more important thing is that he has some understanding of this matter.

In the past, it might have been just a subconscious behavior, but as he got older, his knowledge became higher and his knowledge wider, his understanding became more realistic.

Liu Xi was not unconvinced by Emperor Liu's affirmation of the eldest son system, and he was even able to express his approval. This is a way to consolidate the foundation of the country and reassure people's hearts, which is greatly beneficial to the stability and development of the country.

Of course, it is not easy for Liu Xi to maintain such a mentality when it falls on him.For so many years, those eyes that fell on Prince Liu Yang overtly and secretly, there is no doubt that Liu Xi also belonged to them.

Liu Xi was indeed paying attention to Liu Yang, observing his virtue, integrity and ability, and finally came to the conclusion that the second brother of the prince is very competent.

With the passage of time, Liu Yang's position became more and more stable, and Emperor Liu's trust and attention remained the same, and he became more unrestrained. When this happened, Liu Xi basically gave up his instinctive desire to seize the reserve as a prince.

In the past, the crown prince's lack of an offspring might have been regarded as a big hidden danger, but now with Concubine Zhao's pregnancy, this weak link has also been made up.Of course, from Liu Xi's point of view, even if the prince really has no heirs, his position cannot be completely shaken, as long as precautionary measures are taken.

After going on tour with Liu Yang this time, Liu Xi completely let go of what he saw and heard along the way, and observed the second brother of the prince back and forth, which he shouldn't have.

Liu Xi definitely realized that for the Han Empire, it was very suitable to have such a prince.As far as he is King Jin, being an obedient and loyal minister is not bad.

Just now in the palace, even Concubine Gao changed her usual attitude, she no longer forced him, and the matter of seizing the heirloom and competing for the heirloom was not even mentioned, not even hinted at.Even this mother who has a strong personality and can't hide her scheming is depressed, let alone Liu Xi?

This person is too smart, and it may not be all good. He sees things too clearly, sees problems too thoroughly, and considers too many factors of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

For Liu Xi, it is not easy to let go of such thoughts and ideas. Making such a decision is a kind of inner torture and suffering.Of course, if you really let go, you will be really relieved.

The car that was driving smoothly stopped suddenly, which caught Liu Xi's attention, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you? Why stop?"

Soon, the escort officer reported to Liu Xi from outside the car: "Going back to the king, I have arrived in the workshop, just in time for the patrolling soldiers to inspect, and I have already retreated. Please forgive me for disturbing the king!"

"It's okay!" Liu Xi naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters, but instead said: "Very good, the leading officer will write it down, such a conscientious person is worthy of praise!"

"Let's drive!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xi's Prince Jin's Mansion is located in Shangshanfang on the south bank of Luoshui, not far from the imperial city.The law and order conditions, except inside and outside Ziwei City, belong to the places where these princes and nobles gather together, which is the best. The inspection department's patrol arrangements for soldiers in the nearby workshops are particularly intensive, especially after nightfall.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Prince Jin's Mansion. The Prince Jin's Mansion also occupies a large area, but probably because of the owner's style, even the noble plaques of the rich and noble families are restrained. Compared with the magnificence of other princely mansions, Liu Xi's palace is expensive but not extravagant.

"Welcome Your Majesty to return to the mansion!" He had already been notified, and under the leadership of Princess Song, a group of people in the mansion worshiped neatly in the vestibule.

Jin Wangfei, Miss Song, is only 21 years old now, young and beautiful, with her bun tied high in the sky, her noble aura and aura of a famous family are very attractive.

Among the many daughter-in-laws of Emperor Liu, Princess Jin is the most noble. Her mother is Emperor Liu's sister, Princess Yongning, and her father is Song Yanwo, the Duke of Hui.

Seeing dozens of hundreds of people in the courtyard, Liu Xi was a little surprised, waved his hands, and said with a light smile: "Just go home, why make such a big battle, get up, everyone is scattered!"

"Yes!" Liu Xi spoke, and the people in the mansion waited for them to quickly disperse, each returning to his own place.

Liu Xi stepped forward to help Princess Jin, held her hand, and said gently: "I have not been in the mansion for the past few months, I have worked hard, madam, has the mansion been safe, is there anyone who disobeys discipline? If so, tell me, You must teach me a lesson so that Madam will not be wronged!"

Liu Xi said this with a playful smile, with obvious ridicule.The husband and wife have been married for three years, and they are more or less familiar with his temperament and style. Miss Song blushed slightly and said angrily: "Although the king is not here, the rules are still there. Who dares to violate them? Don't worry, the king, everything is safe in the house? "

"Really?" Liu Xi said, "How can I be so powerful? Are the rules in the house so strict?"

"Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, and the meal has been prepared. Please take a shower and clean your hands, and enjoy it in the hall!" Lady Song said.

"Since I'm back home, I will follow Madam's arrangement!" Liu Xi showed his usual lazy posture.

Turning his eyes, he fell on the son who was sitting in the nurse's arms, clapped his hands towards him, and showed a loving smile: "Wen Hai, let daddy hug you!"

This is the third grandson of Emperor Liu. He was born during the Northern Expedition in the eighth year of Kaibao and is only over one year old now.In addition, the parents have a good genetic background, and they are born in a natural and delicate manner, which is very delicate.

However, she looked particularly quiet, her clear and dark pupils seemed very focused, as if she was not disturbed by foreign affairs.Facing his father's enthusiasm, he didn't care at all, but just gave Liu Xi a sideways look.

It was the nurse who saw the opportunity and handed the child to Liu Xi. The little prince also seemed very adaptable, and he was not noisy. The little eyes seem to say: I can bear it.

After washing up and changing clothes, Liu Xi just entered the hall to have a meal. Of course, there were only three members of this family.Liu Xi hugged and fed the little prince Liu Wenhai himself, and he somewhat enjoyed the feeling of caring for his heir.

"My little one is very obedient!" Liu Xi said cheerfully.

Seeing this, Miss Song frowned slightly, and said, "My lord, don't you think Wen Hai is a bit too quiet?"

"Why, can't you be quiet?" Liu Xi said casually, picked up a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of the little prince's mouth.

"According to this age, I can speak some words more or less. I heard that Wen Yuan of the eldest brother's family can call people at this time!" Mrs. Song showed a little worry: "My lord, tell me, is Wen Hai a little dull?"

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Liu Xi finally frowned. He probably felt that his tone was too harsh and frightened Mrs. Song, so he calmed down quickly and said with a smile: "The child is still young, what can you tell? What do you want to say? He spoke late, but I think he has bright eyes and full of courage, like those noisy people, doesn't he look ordinary!"

"Do you think so?" Liu Xi lowered his head and asked Liu Wenhai with a smile.

The little prince seemed to have also felt his mother's worry, and finally stopped being stingy and opened his mouth to babble.

"Haha!" Liu Xi laughed loudly: "Look, my family Wenhai, why is he slow? Besides, precocious wisdom is not necessarily a blessing, and stupidity is not necessarily a disadvantage. The king is a display, is it Maitreya Buddha who will not get angry?"

In an understatement, Liu Xi showed the majesty of his King Jin.Seeing what Liu Xi said, the worry in Lady Song's beautiful face was much less. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Liu Xi who took good care of her son, and she actually felt a bit of admiration for this husband.
