Changding Hall.
Before seeing Emperor Xihe, Brother Lan came crying to Yan Fuguang. The eunuch coaxed helplessly: "Stop crying, young master. I will take you to find the prince right now."
Here, the five Yan Fuguang brothers had just met. Yan Xianzhi teased Yan Fuguang: "It has been a while since my father bestowed beauties on my third brother. Why hasn't there been good news yet?"
Yan Fuguang looked at him as if he were a fool: "The number of women in the prince's backyard is no less than that of my father, the queen, and his concubines. Instead of caring about me, why don't you focus more on yourself and ask your servants to make you some more tonic soup or something."
The other three were already accustomed to the way Yan Fuguang and Yan Xianzhi got along. As long as they couldn't fight, they would not interrupt easily and let them bicker.
As soon as Yan Changfeng glanced at him, he saw Lan Ge'er with red eyes, whimpering in the eunuch's arms.
He stepped forward and stretched out his arms to Brother Lan: "Second uncle, hug me, don't cry if you don't want to."
Brother Lan wrinkled his face, leaned close to Yan Changfeng's arms, and groaned in grievance.
"What's going on?" Yan Changfeng asked the eunuch with a frown.
"Young master can't bear to leave Concubine Wei! We have to find the prince again on the way!"
After hearing this, Yan Changfeng wiped away Lan Ge'er's tears in a funny way, and coaxed: "Your father is here, my second uncle will take you to find him."
Brother Lan rubbed his face sideways on Yan Changfeng's shoulder to wipe away the remaining tear stains, and responded obediently: "Yes!"
Yan Changfeng came over with Brother Lan, who was roundly dressed, in one hand. When he arrived in front of Yan Fuguang, he did not hand the child over to him. Instead, he joked, "How about you, third brother, let me raise Brother Lan for a while?"
As soon as he heard this, Brother Lan shouted to Yan Fuguang in fear: "Father!"
He was so nervous and afraid that his father would agree with him, but he looked so cute. Yan Fuguang snatched him back from Yan Changfeng's arms and said, "Second brother, please give birth by yourself."
After returning to his father's arms, Brother Lan finally felt at ease.
His red eyelids drooped lazily, and he hugged Yan Fuguang's neck tightly with both hands. His soft cheek was pressed against the side of Yan Fuguang's neck. It seemed that he was tired from crying and wanted to sleep.
Yan Changfeng's hands itched, and he gently touched Brother Lan's exposed little hand, trying to continue the discussion: "Anyway, third brother, you are busy, let Brother Lan come to live in my house, and I will take him out to play."
Yan Fuguang hugged his son tightly and refused his shameless brother: "He is too young and can't live without people."
The happy appearance of father and son made others envious, so Yan Changfeng had no choice but to give up.
When Emperor Xihe came over, Brother Lan had already slept and woke up.
Seeing his father beside him, Brother Lan didn't cry or make a fuss. He cheered up and went to see Emperor Xihe. He made Emperor Xihe smile by saying "Grandpa Emperor" and rewarded him with many strange things.
**
There were many people coming to the flower viewing banquet organized by Queen Xu.
Lu Qing didn't know anyone else and stayed with Qu Dong'er from beginning to end.
There was a quarrel with Ji Mingzhu and Guan Shasha. Qu Donger later explained: "Concubine Guan's character was not so unreasonable before. What she said today was very excessive. I can't even imagine how she could say such a thing!"
In my impression, Guan Shasha has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with, but Qu Donger has never seen her do anything harmful, so she was willing to associate with Guan Shasha in the past. However, today, after hearing her curse an innocent child who was only over one year old, Qu Donger's remaining goodwill towards her also disappeared.
"I won't have any contact with her in the future. I was also present today. I have written down everything she said. If you want to go to the prince to sue her, I can testify!"
"I just said a few words. Although I feel bad, there is no need to say it in front of the prince." Lu Qing is not afraid of people like Shasha who put all the malice on their faces.
And even though Shasha didn't have that much family power behind her, if she had really done something, Lu Qing would still have the hope of paying her back twice as much.
Qu Donger's good mood was ruined by Guan Shasha, and he was not very happy when he entered the palace.
Lu Qing ignored her little mood and was talked to by Princess Qi Lin Shuxian after she sat down.
"Your name is Lu Qing?"
Lu Qing smiled and nodded.
Lin Shuxian had a good impression of Lu Qing. She smiled and praised: "The name is very nice and the person is smart."
Lin Shuxian had heard about this concubine of King Jin from many people's mouths. Lin Shuxian thought she was just an ordinary maid. However, when we met her at the last birthday party at King Jin's Mansion, she was polite and courteous to Mrs. Ning, neither humble nor overbearing. Lin Shuxian was impressed by her. He was impressed by her.
Lin Shuxian saw in Lu Qing the tenacious vitality that uniquely belongs to women.
"Didn't you bring the young master into the palace? Why didn't you see him?"
Lu Qing smiled and replied: "In reply to the princess, Brother Lan was taken to Changding Hall."
Lin Shuxian covered her lips and smiled softly: "That's just right. Our prince is in Changding Palace. He likes the young master very much. He hugged me last time. When he returned home, he told me that he was cute."
Lu Qing thought of the rumor that Lin Shuxian had had a miscarriage, so she didn't say anything casually and smiled in response.
After the two of them said these two sentences, Ning Huayue came over with a cheerful face and interrupted.
"What happy things are the second sister-in-law and concubine Wei talking about?"
She was coaxed by her mother for a long time and took a lot of reassurance. The sadness in her brows disappeared and her mood became brighter.
However, as soon as she came in, she saw Lin Shuxian talking to Lu Qing. Ning Huayue was a little dissatisfied, and then she sat down to talk.
But Lin Shuxian didn't seem to have a good temper towards Ning Huayue. She stood up directly and said calmly: "I'm going to enjoy the flowers. Princess Jin can sit by herself."
Ning Huayue was left sitting on the chair slightly embarrassed.
But Ning Huayue didn't want to think about it. Before she got married, she said that she admired people like King Qi more. As the wife of a well-known matchmaker, isn't it normal for Lin Shuxian to be embarrassed by Ning Huayue?
Lu Qing thought of this and was not ready to continue sitting next to Ning Huayue after watching Lin Shuxian leave.
After the banquet, Lu Qing saw Yan Fuguang and Lan Geer on the carriage.
Qu Donger was the last one. Before he even got in the car, he heard a deep voice coming from inside: "Brother Lan is looking for you."
She paused and wisely went to the last carriage, along with Qiao Siyu and Guan Shasha.
Lu Qing hadn't seen Brother Lan for a long time. She was afraid that he would be cold, so she immediately touched his little hand.
Brother Lan rubbed himself into Lu Qing's arms: "Kiss~"
Lu Qing put him on his lap. Yan Fuguang saw that Brother Lan was sitting firmly, and then told the coachman: "Let's go."
Brother Lan fell asleep on Lu Qing's lap. The carriage was very quiet, and Lu Qing became increasingly sleepy.
After a while, Yan Fuguang raised his eyes and saw that the mother and son beside him were already asleep.
He twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, fearing that someone might fall due to bumps on the road, so he gently hugged Brother Lan and raised his hand to support the crooked Lu Qing.
After falling asleep all the way, Lu Qing had already arrived at the palace when she opened her eyes.
Yan Fuguang squeezed her shoulders and called her: "Put on your cloak and get off the car."
