Yizhixie got up and saluted Junchen Shanyu, “Your Highness, Yu Jin has never seen someone as dashing as a falcon like Shanyu, and mistook a swan for a falcon, according to younger brother, the hero who is in the hearts of the people here today. of course it is Crown Prince Yu Dan, this afternoon the crown prince managed to hit all of his targets, and his equestrian skills are just as great, in the future he will definitely be the sole leader of the wolf pack in the grasslands". As he bent down and took the tray from my hands, unexpectedly he winked at me quickly while smiling, after that, he turned around and walked to the front of Yu Dan's table, bent one knee and knelt in front of him, then while bowing, offered the sheep's head. with both hands.
Everyone laughed, clapped and shouted boisterously, they scrambled to praise Yu Dan, saying that he resembled the Shanyu when he was young, then they one by one came forward and toasted him. Yu Dan stood in front of Yizhixie who was kneeling, took the silver knife that was given to him, sliced the lamb's head meat on the tray, then threw the sliced meat into his own mouth. From start to finish, Yizhixie kept a low profile, kneeling in a lowly manner.
Finally, the corners of Shanyu's lips appeared a satisfied smile, he lifted the cup of wine, stepped forward and pulled Yizhixie up, after that, smiling, he and Yizhixie drank the cup of wine together.
I guess I was the only person who wasn't smiling in that place, I was glumly leaning on A Die while watching that scene I didn't really understand, if only I didn't act rashly, Yizhixie wouldn't have to kneel in front of the crowd like this , had to kneel before Yu Dan, who was younger than him in age and standing, and shorter than himself in body.
Smiling, A Die patted my cheek, then said in a low voice, "Sweet child, don't be gloomy, smile. You better learn what you did wrong, so that you won't repeat it later. Correct your mistakes wholeheartedly, and understand why the prince acted." like that, according to the science of strategy in State Policy, he should do it. It seems that I have failed to teach my daughter, I must also admonish myself".
I can't ride a horse, can't go far to play, while the two people who don't care about A Die's ban and are willing to take me away, one I want to avoid because I have wronged him, and the other one is angry with me and doesn't want to meet me .
When I saw Yu Dan watering the horses by the lake, I snorted, ignoring him, I went to the lakeside to play in the water. After staring at me unblinkingly for a while, Yu Dan pretended not to see me, "You can't swim, don't leave the shore, be careful not to fall".
I took another step forward to carefully find out how deep the water was, and whether I could continue walking forward, Yu Dan grabbed my collar, then threw me to the edge of the lake, I said angrily, "You can't swim yourself, your guts are small, I myself am not afraid".
Yu Dan smiled and said, "Obviously I'm the one who should be mad at you, but you're the one who's mad at me instead." When I recalled the events of that day, I secretly felt a bit embarrassed. Yu Dan ordered me to offer a lamb's head, but I didn't give it to the Shanyu and instead gave it to Yizhixie, thereby offending the Shanyu and causing trouble for my hero. I looked down and said nothing.
Smiling, Yu Dan grabbed my hand and said, "When you're not mad, let's find a place to play".
I sucked my lips while nodding, while holding hands we both ran as if flying.
...............
When I was ten years old, for the first time, because of Yizhixie, I thought deeply about the writings that A Die ordered me to memorize every day, and also for the first time observed Yizhixie, Yu Dan and the Shanyu, and came to understand that even though they were relatives who closest, yet most likely to turn out to be the hostile brothers described in Han books.

After the princess Yizhixie's wife finished combing her hair, she turned to Yizhixie and asked with a smile, "Wangye, this bun is Empress Shanyu's hairstyle that I just learned, did I do it right?"
Yizhixie who was reading a book raised his head and expressionlessly looked at the princess's coils, the smile on the princess's face gradually faded, while he was agitated, Yizhixie picked up a flower that was on the table, got up and stepped in front of him, then planted it on his temple. Holding the princess's shoulder, he smiled and said, "At this rate, the beauty of your face will not be in vain." The princess's face turned bright red, she looked up at Yizhixie, her body limply leaning on Yizhixie's body.
I frowned and sighed, then turned around to leave, but behind me came a voice gently admonishing, "Who's peeking outside?" Yizhixie raised his voice, “Jin Yu, come in.”
