The people who were watching walked away one after another. Upon seeing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong hurried over to greet them, clasping their fists and saluting with excitement.
"Your Majesty, you are finally out."
When Leng Yu saw the two of them, he hurriedly looked behind them. A Cai knew what he was looking for and hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, we are the only two people here in the entire Prince Yu's Mansion. The princess said that if there are too many people coming, it is easy to cause trouble. Let's go back now. Everyone is waiting for you."
After hearing what they said, Leng Yu patted himself hard several times to get rid of the bad luck on his body, nodded, and followed A Hong's guidance to get on the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Ah Hong and Ah Cai sat on either side of the carriage shaft and happily headed towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
At this time, all the servants in Prince Yu's Mansion were running around in circles anxiously. Luo Lan, Liu Dechang, Xiao Ling, Xina, and Leng Ming were sitting in the main hall, their faces solemn, and their eyes drifting toward the door from time to time.
The three children sat obediently on the threshold of the main hall, with their hands on their chins and looking at the door.
They want their father to come back sooner than anyone else. They have not seen their father for five years. To be more precise, they think it is as if they have never seen their father.
At this time, a loud sound broke through the sky and made everyone excited.
"The prince is back, the prince is back."
This was the voice of A Gang announcing the good news when he came back. The moment he heard this, Luo Lan, who was sitting in the main hall, suddenly burst into tears. Liu Dechang, Leng Yu and others hurriedly walked towards the door.
When the three children heard the sound of the good news, they stood up and ran towards the gate as if they had been given blood.
When they saw Leng Yu who had just walked in in the yard, the three children froze there and did not dare to step forward.
When Leng Yu saw these three children, he walked slowly to them, squatted down, and waved to them.
"Huaiyu, An'an, Lele, come here, come to daddy."
The three children stood there, all with wide eyes, looking at him at a loss, as if they didn't dare to come forward, but wanted to come forward.
Luo Lan saw the three children who were struggling and quietly came behind them. She pointed at Leng Yu who was squatting opposite and whispered in an extremely gentle voice:
"That's the father you miss day and night. He misses you too. Now that he's back, he will have plenty of time to spend with you in the future, so why don't you hurry up and get there."
After Luolan said this, the boldest An An was the first to run over with short legs. Huaiyu and Lele saw this and followed them not to be outdone.
Leng Yu opened his arms and hugged the three children who were running toward him. Tears instantly fell from the corners of his eyes. They were tears of excitement.
Luo Lan looked at this scene with relief, her eyes turning red instantly.
Everyone looked at this scene with joy, and there were tears of joy in the corners of everyone's eyes.
Liu Dechang waved his arms and shouted loudly:
"Come here, prepare a meal. If others don't prepare a celebration banquet for Prince Yu, we will prepare it ourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of shouting outside. Leng Yu's brows tightened instantly. Luo Lan hurriedly said to A Hong beside him:
"Go and see what's going on."
Ah Cai nodded and was about to leave when Ah Gang hurriedly ran in, panting and opening his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Princess, there are...there are many people outside."
A Gang's words made Luo Lan's nerves that had just relaxed become tense again. She was just about to ask her mother to take Xina to the backyard to hide, when A Gang continued:
"They brought fish, meat, vegetables, and eggs. They were all saying that the prince had returned in triumph, and they wanted to take care of him..."
Xiao Lingzi, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and blamed him unhappily:
"Why are you out of breath when you talk?"
Little Shuangzi and others also blamed him, "That's right, the brothers almost copied him."
Leng Yu stood up, looked at these people, and whispered coldly:
"You are members of Prince Yu's Palace, and are soldiers of the Daning Kingdom. You are not street gangsters. Don't just copy people."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Since there were so many people coming to bless him, he should go out and thank them. No matter how the emperor treated him, at least these people were thinking of him.
When he appeared at the gate with people from Prince Yu's Mansion, the people holding various dishes in their hands cheered immediately.
"Prince Yu, you have returned in triumph. Your Majesty will not welcome you, but we will do so for you."
"Prince Yu, you have been fighting for many years. You are a true hero of Daning Kingdom and you should be loved by the people."
"Prince Yu and Princess Yu have always loved the people and often saved people from fire and water. They are the greatest contributors to the Daning Kingdom..."
"..."
The people's praises were endless. Leng Yu hurriedly stretched out his hands and pressed down hard. When everyone saw this, they instantly became much quieter.
Leng Yu glanced at the crowd, bowed deeply to them with gratitude in his eyes, and when he stood up straight, he said loudly with the corner of his mouth raised:
"I am deeply gratified that I, Leng Yu, am so loved by everyone. Please go back and bring the food back to eat. You may gather here with so many people, which may arouse suspicion. I, Leng Yu, have just come out of the prison. I’m afraid I’ll get into trouble again, so I hope everyone can understand.”
He was really afraid that when the emperor found out about this, he would question him for inciting people to make trouble in the prison. He had just met his children and he didn't want any more trouble to happen.
Everyone was silent for a while, and someone shouted loudly:
"We can go back, but we have to keep this dish. This is a little bit of our kindness, and you must accept it."
"Yes, you have to accept this dish. If you don't accept it, we won't leave."
"Yes, I won't leave until I take it."
"..."
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Leng Yu hurriedly said to A Gang beside him:
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's accept the food from everyone for now."
He accepted this kindness, and in the future, he would repay it twice as much to these people.
A Gang waved his hands and directed the people from Prince Yu's Mansion to take the dishes from the hands of the common people. These people stopped here for a while, and then left Prince Yu's Mansion under the persuasion of Xiao Lingzi and others.
Watching the place become quiet, Liu Dechang rolled up his sleeves with relief, raised his eyebrows proudly and said:
"So what if I don't become a prince? Wouldn't it be nice to be a free and easy prince..."
At this time, Leng Yu had a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't care about the position of the prince, but what he cared about was his father's attitude towards him after returning this time.
It seems that he has always listened too much to his father's words, so much so that he thinks that he is someone who can be manipulated at will. The position of prince can be given to him as he wishes, and he can relinquish it as he wishes.
From the day the emperor named him the prince, he was a general on the battlefield.
When he returned to the capital, he became Prince Yu again.
To be precise, he has never been a prince for even a day...
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart. He didn't need to be the prince, but he must sit on the throne.
If not for anything else, he would fight for the country of Daning to prevent it from falling into the hands of traitors, and for the sake of the people who were devoted to him.
