Fengyi Palace.
Yan Fuguang personally sent Brother Lan over. Empress Xu smiled kindly and stretched out her hand: "Grandma Huang hasn't hugged our Brother Lan yet. Fuguang, please let me hug you."
The picture is very warm.
Empress Xu was virtuous and generous, and she cared for the other princes except the prince. Her reputation had spread throughout the country.
Now, the look she looked at Lan Ge'er seemed to be full of love.
However, Yan Fuguang lowered his head and looked at Lan Ge'er, who had big eyes and was full of energy, and said, "Lan Ge'er will cry if he recognizes me."
Empress Xu was very insistent: "We, Brother Lan, must get to know Grandma Huang, right?"
When Lu Qing saw Yan Fuguang handing Brother Lan over, her heart tightened for some reason.
"Wow--"
Before Yan Fuguang let go, Brother Lan opened his mouth and cried. Queen Xu's hand froze in mid-air, and her face looked a little embarrassed.
Everyone also understood that Yan Fuguang's statement that Brother Lan recognized the person was not a lie.
The little guy cried all of a sudden, his little face was wet and he was so pitiful.
"Oh, forget it, Grandma Huang won't hug you anymore, so don't cry..."
Brother Lan was very sad. Yan Fuguang patted him several times but couldn't calm down. Yan Fuguang had no choice but to hand him over to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing felt distressed and gently wiped away the tears on his face with a soft silk handkerchief. After holding him and shaking him a few times, Brother Lan silenced his voice and leaned obediently in Lu Qing's arms with wet eyes.
Everyone in the hall watched with gusto.
Concubine Chen covered her lips and smiled softly, as if she said unintentionally: "You can't raise children like this. How can you only recognize your parents? Children of the royal family should be more generous!"
She said Brother Lan was too stingy. Lu Qing pursed her lips tightly and patted Brother Lan gently on the back. Seeing him smiling softly at her, Lu Qing felt so soft that she was about to cry.
Yan Fuguang sneered: "Concubine Chen has not had contact with such a young child for many years, Fuguang can understand."
The smile on Concubine Chen's face froze and she couldn't laugh anymore.
Everyone knows that King Qi and Princess Qi were childhood sweethearts and they once vowed not to take concubines for the rest of their lives. Concubine Chen wanted to object but had no choice but to watch Lin Xianshu monopolize her son Yan Changfeng.
Later, Lin Xianshu was pregnant once, but she had an accidental miscarriage. The couple still has no children.
The relationship between Concubine Chen and Lin Xianshu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was tense. This was something that the entire palace knew about.
Yan Fuguang continued: "If you want to raise a grandson, you might as well urge your second brother and sister-in-law." Don't dictate to his children, she is not worthy.
The atmosphere was tense. Queen Xu chuckled and came to the rescue: "Oh, we are all a family. Just talk nicely."
Yan Fuguang looked away indifferently, squeezed Brother Lan's little hand, gave Wushuang a look behind Lu Qing, stood up and left, "Fuguang still has something to discuss with his father, let's go first."
Lu Qing hugged Brother Lan tightly and watched his back disappear outside the door.
**
The New Year's Eve palace banquet is also a royal family banquet.
Ning Huayue, Chen Qingzi, and Ji Mingzhu were going to Yongning Hall for a banquet. Lu Qing was worried about Brother Lan staying in the side hall of Fengyi Palace and chose to stay with Brother Lan.
"It's up to you. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. If you go, you won't find anyone to talk to." Ning Huayue said condescendingly.
Lu Qing said nothing and sent them away with a smile.
In the side hall, the wet nurse was breastfeeding Brother Lan in the inner room. Only then did Lu Qing have time to get to know Wu Shuang beside him.
"Are you sent by the prince to protect Lan Geer?"
Wushuang smiled and said: "Not only can I protect my little master, I can also protect you!"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "You know martial arts!"
Wushuang approached Lu Qing mysteriously: "Not only can I know martial arts, but I can also distinguish most poisons!"
Now even Ji Qin became interested and praised her repeatedly: "It's really amazing!"
Wushuang liked being praised the most. She smiled with a blush on her face and quickly took out two small packets of medicinal powder from her sleeves: "Don't be rude when we meet for the first time. From now on, I will have to rely on the care of my concubine and Sister Jiqin." , a meeting gift for you to defend yourself."
"What is this?" Lu Qing pinched the powder and looked around.
Ji Qin was as curious as Lu Qing, and she even wanted to put it to the tip of her nose and smell it.
"Hey! Don't open it!" Wu Shuang immediately stopped him, "This is cartilage powder. I made it myself. You don't need to take it. If you smell it, it will cause an attack. Your muscles and bones will be weak."
Lu Qing immediately admired Wushuang even more.
Wushuang explained again: "Just hold it for self-defense and don't smell it. It's okay if you smell it. You will recover in two hours."
Lu Qing and Ji Qin nodded heavily and carefully stuffed the powder into their purses.
"Concubine, the young master is asleep." The wet nurse came out of the inner room.
"Well, I'll go watch him. You guys can have a rest." Lu Qing walked into the inner room and gently touched Brother Lan's warm little face.
After eating the dinner sent by the people of Fengyi Palace, Lu Qing stayed by Lan Geer's side boredly, calculating how long it would take to return home.
When she entered the palace today, she obviously didn't do anything, but Lu Qing felt tired like never before.
She held her chin, feeling sleepy.
"Is the concubine Wei from the Jin Palace here?" a young eunuch asked standing outside the door.
Lu Qing heard this and walked out and said, "I am."
The young eunuch lowered his head and said, "The emperor has sent you to the Yongning Palace to commend me. Please come with me."
Lu Qing was a little surprised and wanted to ask again, but the young eunuch urged: "Please follow me to Yongning Hall immediately. I'm afraid the emperor will blame you for a long time."
Lu Qing did not doubt that he was there, and asked Ji Qin and Wu Shuang to take care of Brother Lan, and she followed the young eunuch out of Fengyi Palace.
When she entered the palace for the first time, Lu Qing didn't know the way at all. The young eunuch walked in front and she followed behind.
It was normal at first, but after a while, the surrounding area became more and more desolate, and there were even no palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
Lu Qing stopped and asked, "Father-in-law, are you sure this is the way to Yongning Palace?"
The banquet place would not be set up in such a desolate and dilapidated place, right?
All the palace doors on both sides of the palace road were tightly closed, and each door seemed to have experienced countless rain washes. The original strong color faded away, showing a desolate appearance, which was as bright as the Fengyi Palace she had seen. The new door color is completely different.
"This is the road to Yongning Palace. This road is the closest. I will not admit my mistake. Concubine, please follow me quickly!"
With her heart in mind, Lu Qing walked forward some distance.
The further you go, the more desolate it becomes. No one was plowing this road, and the snow under Lu Qing's feet was getting thicker and thicker, making a creaking sound when he stepped on it.
Lu Qing looked around in panic. The road was white and covered with a thick layer of snow, reflecting the mottled and cracked palace walls on both sides. The dilapidated tiles on the eaves fell, making a muffled sound when they hit the snow.
call--
The candle in the lantern went out.
