Brother Lan is growing up day by day. The person he is closest to is Lu Qing, and the person he likes the most besides Lu Qing is Yan Fuguang.
Lu Qing often laments the wonder of blood relationship behind her back, and sometimes she feels slightly unbalanced in her heart.
Yan Fuguang is naturally attracted to Brother Lan. After not seeing each other for a few days, he still remembers his father. When he sees Yan Fuguang, he can't take his eyes away. If Lu Qing pretends not to know his intentions, he will start to hum. He hummed to attract his father's attention.
"What's wrong with Brother Lan?" Yan Fuguang still doesn't know how much Brother Lan likes him. After experiencing a previous fever, he is now particularly nervous about Brother Lan's body, fearing that something is wrong with him.
Lu Qing handed Lan Ge'er to Yan Fuguang sourly and explained in a low voice: "Lan Ge'er likes you and misses you."
Yan Fuguang raised the corners of his lips and skillfully held the meat dumpling into his strong arms. The father and son's portraits looked at each other with narrow eyes, and Lange'er showed his cute gums affectionately and smiled very pleasantly.
"He's a smart boy." Yan Fuguang's eyebrows were soft and he squeezed Brother Lan's little hands and feet.
Who would have thought that King Jin, who in the eyes of outsiders was unkind, ruthless, and had killed countless people, was actually a man who loved children very much.
His patience and good temper towards Brother Lan were beyond Luqing's imagination. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never associate words like a loving father with Yan Fuguang.
In a daze, Yan Fuguang said to her: "The Chinese New Year is about to come, and my father asked you to take Lan Ge'er to the palace for a banquet so that he can take a good look at Lan Ge'er."
Emperor Xihe loved Wujiwu. After Lange'er was born, he sent people back more than once to report on Lange's growth and received many rewards.
Lu Qing will naturally go into the palace to express his gratitude. Then he will put on some clothes for Brother Lang, keep him warm, and take him into the palace. "I understand."
After a few months, Yan Fuguang stayed at Luqing's place again, and everyone in Jinjiyuan felt at ease.
The next day, it was still dark, and it was snowing outside.
Forced to crawl out of the warm bed, Lu Qing was not dissatisfied. Instead, she said gently and considerately: "The weather is very cold. Your Majesty, please wear more clothes to keep out the cold."
She took the warm clothes baked by her servants and helped Yan Fuguang put them on one by one.
After working hard for a while, I happened to hold the beam for Yan to get her hair ready. Lan Geer, who was sleeping in the Nuan Pavilion, cried when he woke up and needed Lu Qing's embrace.
"Go." Yan Fuguang felt refreshed and in a good mood.
Lu Qing came over with the crying little boy in his arms, and he smiled: "Why are you crying so early in the morning?"
Mandong answered in a low voice: "My young master has not seen my concubine all night and misses my mother."
Yan Fuguang heard this, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the intimate mother and son beside him. It was indeed like that.
Luqing is the mother who stays with her child all day long to give him a sense of security. Lan Geer is naturally dependent on her. The wrinkled little face that was red from crying was now leaning tightly in her mother's arms. Smelling her mother's scent, her emotions quickly calmed down, and she occasionally burped and cried, which made her even more cherished.
Luqing held Lan Geer, who had become well-behaved after crying, and sent Yan Fuguang to the court. A thick curtain was hung in front of the door to resist the unreasonable cold wind.
Fang Jinbao lifted the curtain, and Yan Fuguang looked back at them and said, "If you wake up early, go back and sleep again. Don't take Brother Lan out to enjoy the breeze."
Lu Qing bent her eyes and smiled: "Yes, I will obey the prince. It's freezing cold, so be careful on the road."
She always spoke softly in front of Yan Fuguang. No matter how cold-hearted a man was, he would not be soft-hearted if he was treated so caringly by a woman who had given birth to a child for him.
"I'll come back for dinner in the evening."
Yan Fuguang, wearing a large black cloak with crane patterns, strode into the wind and snow.
After he left the courtyard of Jinxiyuan, Lu Qing lowered his head and looked at Brother Lan who was about to fall asleep again with his eyes narrowed: "Mom is very tired too. It's really tiring to deal with your father. Let's take a nap again."
Because of Yan Fuguang's arrival, mother and son were unable to sleep together last night. It was as if they both failed to sleep well because of this, and they managed to have a good sleep.
**
Emperor Xihe liked to celebrate the New Year with his sons, so the annual New Year's Eve family banquet was held in the palace and hosted by Queen Xu and others.
Ning Huayue learned from Yan Fuguang that Lu Qing's mother and son were about to enter the palace with them for a banquet. She had just come out of confinement, and she almost would have been in trouble again if she hadn't been stopped by Lingyun.
When saying goodbye, Ning Huayue looked at Lu Qing and said: "This time, the two concubines are naturally qualified to go to the palace for the banquet. In addition, concubine Wei can also go to the palace to see the eldest son. "
Lu Qing responded calmly: "The princess is right. After entering the palace, she must rely on her for help. I am very afraid of losing the face of Prince Jin's palace."
She is not afraid of ridicule and ridicule. As long as she is useful to her, Lu Qing can endure it infinitely. Ning Huayue didn't like her at the moment, but after leaving the palace and entering the palace, they were both members of Prince Jin's palace, so the battle line was unified.
Ning Huayue had disliked her from the first time they met, not to mention seeing Lu Qing becoming more and more favored in the backyard, but on the other hand, she had not yet eased her relationship with the prince. Ning Huayue's brows were filled with gloom, and she said with a superior attitude: "Since Concubine Wei is self-aware, I will send Grandma Wang to teach you the etiquette in the palace first, so as not to make a fool of yourself later. Do you have any objections?"
Grandma Wang? That was the old man who had served Ning Huayue since childhood. Empress Xu specially selected her from the palace to teach Ning Huayue. Her skills and experience should not be underestimated.
Chen Qingzi glanced at Ning Huayue's face and reminded cautiously: "My dearest concubine, the prince has already sent his maid to teach Concubine Wei various etiquettes."
Who couldn't tell that Ning Huayue deliberately targeted Lu Qing.
After Ning Huayue entered the palace, Chen Qingzi deliberately lowered her sense of presence. After waiting for many days, she still didn't see the princess favored by the prince, and Chen Qingzi felt a sense of joy in her heart. Time is indeed a very important factor. She has been in the palace for so long before Ning Huayue, so the prince still has a place for her in his heart.
"Concubine Chen, do you think I am deliberately making things difficult for Concubine Wei?" Ning Huayue was unhappy with everyone, let alone Chen Qingzi, who was rumored to be favored by the King of Jin.
Chen Qingzi spoke in a gentle and polite tone: "I don't dare, everything depends on the princess's arrangements. I just want to remind you."
Ning Huayue suddenly raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "I think Concubine Wei's etiquette is not good enough and she needs to be more diligent. The palace is not like your courtyard. You can act casually and the servants will not dare to criticize you."
Lu Qing didn't care whether Ning Huayue meant to make things difficult for her, she took it all in: "It's my honor to be cared about by the Princess. I will definitely learn from Grandma Wang and not let the Princess down."
She would never give in to this little torture.
