Chapter 3: Ten Years of Cold Rain, A Palace of Cold Fragrance(2/2)
After a while, Cao Pi slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the young man standing at the foot of the stairs and did not blame him for being rude.
"Are you Boren's son?" The emperor's voice was low and clear, making people's spines tingle upon hearing it.
"That's the boy, Xia Houxuan." The young man was calm as usual and was not completely overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the Supreme.
A rare smile appeared on Cao Pi's lips. He seemed to like the boy calling himself his son, which at least showed that the boy still regarded himself as a relative as he did when he was a child...
[Note 2: During the Jin Dynasty, uncles and nephews began to be called uncles and nephews. At this time, the sons of brothers were called "Congzi", etc.]
"Xuan'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is everything okay at home?"
"Your Majesty, everything is well at home." Xia Houxuan bowed slightly and answered.
"This time, your father has made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Wei Dynasty by pacifying three counties and nine counties." Cao Pi suddenly said this with a smile on his lips.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's divine power. I don't dare to take the credit for it."
"You are quite smart for your young age." Cao Pi looked at this smart, neither humble nor overbearing nephew with interest: "Then, what do you think of Liu Feng's death?"
Xia Houxuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Regarding Liu Feng's death, it has long been spread among the people, and it is talked about by everyone. If for no other reason than that he was willing to refuse the reward of a prince in the Wei Dynasty and return to the capital of Shu to die.
If you answer this question incorrectly, it will be considered a minor crime.
"Your Majesty, Liu Chan was a child, Liu Bei was a hero, and Liu Feng's death was not a crime of defeat."
After hearing Xiahou Xuan's reply, Cao Pi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This boy is really smarter than his father.
"My nephew came here today because he actually wants to ask for something from Your Majesty."
