From Yongding County to the capital, Lu Rong and his family dragged their children with their children. It took only four or five days to walk slowly. Chu Xing and the other four rode a good horse, whipped the horse, rushed into the capital as the city gate closed.
It was getting late, and Chu Xing signaled his three subordinates to go back to their houses and he would come to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow.
After the subordinates separated, Chu Xing returned to the Duke's Mansion all the way.
The doorman saw the prince wearing a tea-white robe and was stunned for a moment before he could recognize him. He hurriedly opened the door.
Chu Xing stepped into the door without expression, glanced at the Sanqiu Hall where the Grandma lived. Chu Xing paused slightly and walked towards his Dingfeng Hall first. Grandfather passed away and he inherited the title. Grandmother meant to let him, the prince, move to the main courtyard, and she lived in another courtyard. Chu Xing was used to living in Dingfeng Hall, and secondly, respecting his grandmother, so he politely rejected the kindness of his elders. Only when guests came to the door or had a banquet at home would he come to the main courtyard as the head of the family to entertain guests.
Chu Xing had thought about it and waited for his grandmother to move into the main courtyard a hundred years later.
"Big brother?"
But before walking a few steps, a familiar and clear voice suddenly came from the front. Chu Xing stopped helplessly, turned around, and said to the man who was walking slowly, "Second brother."
Chu Sui is nineteenth. Tanhua, who has just entered the spring, is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Although he only has the seventh rank in the official position, he has a seniority and can immediately join the six ministries if he has the chance, and then he will climb up step by step. He will not enter the Hanlin Academy if he is not a Jinshi, nor a Hanlin if he is in the cabinet. His age is as limitless.
When he came back from the Hanlin Courtyard in the evening, Chu Sui went to visit his grandmother as usual. As soon as he came out, he saw a man in white wandering around his yard in a dignified manner. The doorman didn't know the news. Chu Sui was suspicious and was about to call the other party to ask about his identity, but he recognized him the next moment. He was no one else, but his elder brother who had been away for many days!
As if he had seen something incredible, Chu Sui first took a slow and detailed look. After finishing his examination, he ran to his brother with a smile, with a playful appreciation in his eyes, "Where did you get such a set of robes? It suits you very well, but it seems a bit unfit..."
My brother was wearing white clothes, just like my grandmother suddenly decided to wear a pink and tender skirt, which was also abnormal.
Facing his cousin's joke, Chu Xing continued to walk forward and explained indifferently: "On the road, I met the ice on the riverside and the people fell into the water. I went into the water to save people, so I changed one temporarily."
The ice layer by the river is not thick, and it is common to be trampled and broken. Chu Sui is even more curious about who his brother saved. Look at the tea and white silk on his body. Chu Sui is idle and continues to inquire, "Is the eldest brother saving the children of a rich businessman?"
Chu Xing nodded. It was related to Lu Mingyu's reputation. He didn't want his cousin to dig into the problem and asked his cousin: "I am not here these days, what changes will happen in the capital?"
Speaking of the serious matter, Chu Sui put away his joke and whispered: "On the fourth day of the lunar month, Concubine Yi gave birth to the fifth prince, and she was just named Shufei today."
Previously, the emperor had four princes. The eldest prince, King Qing and the third prince were all from Empress Wan, and their qualifications were poor. The second prince, King Rui, was proficient in poetry and was good at riding and shooting, but his biological mother, Concubine Xian, had a taboo, which was more or less related to the death of the Empress Dowager. Of course, the Empress Dowager was definitely not killed by her, but the emperor still had a grudge in his heart and became cold towards King Rui. The fourth prince, who was born by Concubine De, was young and said that he was smart and studious, but in terms of qualifications, he could not see it in a short time.
The emperor is diligent and loving the people, and is not a lustful person. He only sleeps in the harem for ten days a month. With the rain and dew, he can't tell which concubine has special favor. The improvement of concubines depends on the offspring. The favored nobles who have been happy will be promoted to concubines and will be promoted to concubines. However, there are not many women who are lucky. The emperor has been ascended the throne for more than 20 years. Including today's fifth princes, there are only five princes, and their mothers are one queen and three concubines.
Brother Heng picked up the curtains, poked his head out and looked out. He saw three figures standing at the door of his house from afar, one shorter than the other, and the shortest one was about the same height as him. Brother Heng retreated back to the carriage and asked his sister excitedly, "Sister, look, that's the eldest brother and the second brother, it seems that there is still a fifth uncle."
Lu Mingyu moved to the window and recognized it at a glance. Because when he arrived at the door of his house, the neighbors were all acquaintances, so there was no need to be too restricted. Lu Mingyu lay there and happily shouted, "Brother, second brother, we are back!"
The little girl smiled sweetly and had a close voice. Lu Jiaping and Lu Jia'an looked at each other and smiled at the youngest cousin together. The six-year-old Chong Ge'er could no longer remember the appearance of her niece, but he knew that the girl in the carriage was a niece. When he heard her niece called her two nephews, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, and looked at the carriages approaching with big eyes.
The carriage stopped almost at the same time. Lu Rong and his wife were elders, and they got off the car calmly and moderately. In front of their cousins, Lu Mingyu had no worries. She got off the car before her brother, and laughed and called her brother again. Then she bent down and picked up Brother Chong, "Oh, my little uncle has grown so tall. Do you miss me?"
Chong Ge'er is strong, and it is actually difficult for Lu Mingyu to hold him, but she regards Chong Ge'er as her younger brother and likes her in her heart. She is happy no matter how tired she holds her.
When my niece liked me so much, Chong Ge'er suddenly forgot the little grievance she had just said and smiled happily, "I miss you, my mother misses you too."
Lu Mingyu also missed his grandmother, left behind his relatives here, ran in and laughed, "Mom, I'll go see my grandmother first, you can go and walk slowly."
"I'll go too!" Before Brother Heng could say hello to his brothers, he went to chase his sister. Brother Chong didn't run with his niece. When he saw his nephew who was as big as him, he instinctively kissed him even more. He grinned and ran with Brother Heng. Brother Heng looked at him and for some reason he was just kissing, "Fifth Uncle, my mother said we were as big as he was."
Brother Chong nodded, "My mother said so."
After taking a look, the uncle and nephew laughed together. Brother Heng was having fun and said loudly: "Let's go, whoever catches up with his sister first will win!"
The two boys ran away happily, and their brothers and sisters didn't wait for him. Nian Ge'er, who had just been carried out by his father, curled his lips and cried, rushed to his mother, raised his head to express his grievances, "Mom, they didn't wait for me!"
Xiao was funny and pointed to the door and said, "Group Nian is going to chase you too."
"I can't run..." Nian Ge'er hugged her mother's thighs, and she cried less, but she cried even more pitifully.
"Brother, hold Brother Nian." Eighteen-year-old Lu Jiaping came over and easily carried his cousin into his arms. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. Lu Jiaping's skin was slightly dark, honest and steady, very similar to Mr. Lu, but he also inherited Lu Zhan's tiger eyes. It was nothing for the adults to see it. Brother Nian was a little scared when he saw it. He didn't dare to cry when he was afraid. He didn't dare to refuse, and turned to his mother pitifully.
"This is the eldest brother." Xiao taught his son softly.
Brother Nian called out obediently, with tears still in his eyes.
Lu Jiaping raised his hand to wipe his brother's tears, and the little guy laughed and said, "Let's go, my brother will take you to see your grandmother."
Brother Nian blinked and looked at his mother who was smiling very beautifully. She felt a little relieved and no longer resisted her brother.
In Ning'an Hall, with the arrival of Lu Mingyu and his brother, it was already full of fun.
"Grandma, I miss you so much." Lu Mingyu ran happily. When she saw her amiable grandmother, she burst into tears. She didn't look carefully at who was in the house, so she first threw herself into her grandmother's arms and acted coquettishly.
He hugged his little granddaughter who left the capital at the age of nine, and her only biological granddaughter, Zhu also cried, crying and laughing, "A Nuan has grown so tall. When you left, you were not as tall as your fifth uncle."
Lu Mingyu actually compared her to her fifth uncle. He burst out laughing and rubbed his grandmother coquettishly, "Don't say that I'm shorter."
"But you are the shortest."
A gloating joke came from the left. Lu Mingyu knew that it was the second sister Lu Huaiyu, so she stared at her eyes and turned around, "You..."
