Zhu Qingjia was very polite and gave Lu Qing several jars of his treasured wine. Lu Qing just returned to Jinxiyuan and started thinking about what to give back to her next time they meet.
Yan Fuguang watched as the servants moved the wine jars off the carriage one by one. He walked closer and leaned over, putting his nose close to Lu Qing and sniffing.
Lu Qing pushed him away and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Calculating the time, Lu Qing came back quite early. She arrived just after Yan Fuguang returned home from duty, which meant that she probably didn't have dinner at Prince Heng's Mansion.
So what's with the smell of alcohol on her body?
"Drinking?"
Lu Qing took half a step back and said with a little embarrassment, "Did I offend you?"
She did drink a lot. The little limit she had before getting drunk was the sobering soup in Prince Heng's Mansion.
Yan Fuguang pinched her cheek flesh, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who is drinking with you? Are there many people?"
Her little face was still pink at the moment, which showed that she was very happy after drinking.
"It's just me and Princess Heng. She drinks a lot."
Yan Fuguang let go of his hand and rubbed the area where he had just pinched: "Are you feeling uncomfortable right now? I remember that your ability to drink is average."
Lu Qing said happily: "It's not uncomfortable, I didn't drink much."
Not only was she not uncomfortable, but she was also very happy, and Yan Fuguang could tell.
Lu Qing watched the servants put away the wine. She went to take a bath and changed into more comfortable clothes. Yan Fuguang took on the important task of looking after the children.
Brother Jiu was smaller than Brother Yu. Yan Fuguang felt sad when he saw him, so he took him into his arms and touched him.
He was having fun, what happened to his father?
Brother Jiu raised his head, his round almond-shaped eyes clearly conveying his doubts: "?"
"Eat more to grow taller. Don't grow too big. In our family, Brother Jiu, you are the shortest."
After understanding what Yan Fuguang meant, Brother Jiu couldn't help but wrinkle his nose: "Humph!"
What are you talking about? If he really can't speak, why not delay his play? !
Angrily, Ninth Brother crawled out of Yan Fuguang's arms and came to Yu Brother's side, rustling and complaining.
Brother Yu's accusing eyes glanced over from time to time, with an expression on his face like "Father, why are you so ignorant?"
He hugged Brother Ninth and patted Brother Ninth's back comfortingly. After coaxing him for a while, he comforted Brother Ninth.
Yan Fuguang found it very interesting and wanted to tease the child for fun again. He caught a glimpse of Lu Qing coming out from the corner of his eye. He immediately sat upright and said with a smile: "Have you packed up? Let's have dinner."
Luqing was not very hungry, so she didn't eat much. She picked up vegetables for Yan Fuguang and then for the three children.
Brother Lan and Brother Yu ate very deliciously, and they were not picky eaters at all. Brother Jiu's appetite was much smaller, and he pushed the bowl away after a few bites.
Yan Fuguang saw this and said quietly: "What should I do if Brother Ninth is not as tall as Brother Yu in the future?"
Lu Qing was worried about Brother Jiu's recent appetite, and the imperial doctor also told him to eat as much as possible. So she cooperated with Yan Fuguang and said, "Yes, Brother Yu and Brother Jiu are twin brothers. If they are too different, people will think that Brother Jiu is younger than Brother Yu."
The parents sang together, and Brother Jiu silently picked up the spoon he had put down, scooped a full spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth.
**
The day of greetings has come. On this day, Luqing will take Brother Lan and Brother Yu to greet Ning Huayue.
Brother Yu looked back at his younger brother, and Lu Qing explained: "It's too cold outside, so Brother Jiu won't go."
"Okay." Brother Yu nodded obediently to express understanding, then brought the hat himself and asked Ji Qin to put it on for him.
The two children were wrapped tightly before Lu Qing dared to take them out.
When he came to Yihongyuan, Brother Yu looked around curiously. He lit a wintersweet tree in the corner of the yard and said, "Huahua, beautiful!"
Ji Qin's face flashed unnaturally for a moment. She hugged Brother Yu and changed the direction, changing the subject without leaving a trace: "Is the second young master thirsty? Let's drink some warm water?"
Brother Yu pursed his lips and really wanted to drink water: "Okay!"
After entering the house, Brother Lan and Brother Yu drank water and kept obediently leaning against Lu Qing's legs without moving.
Qu Donger came over to amuse the children. They smiled in a dignified manner, but were not approachable.
"They look so good!" Qu Donger sighed at the side, "They will definitely become two handsome young men when they grow up!"
Lu Qing looked at the two shy children who were praised, and she pinched their little faces with a smile.
It wasn't until Ning Huayue sat down with the support of Grandma Wang that the two little guys stood up and greeted Ning Huayue immediately.
Ning Huayue's expression was indifferent: "Thank you for thanking you for coming to say hello in such a cold weather."
Brother Lan grabbed Brother Yu's hand and responded quickly: "It's not hard, you should say hello."
Looking at Brother Lan, who is getting smarter and smarter, and Brother Yu, who is round-headed and round-headed, with red lips and white teeth, Grandma Wang suddenly sighed: "It's a pity. The second young master is very lucky, but the third young master..."
What she said was like poking Lu Qing's lungs. Lu Qing immediately looked at Grandma Wang with a smile but not a smile: "I remember one detail when Grandma Wang said this. Before Mrs. Qiao pounced on me, , she said you went to find her and asked her to go for a walk by the pond that day."
If we were to do other things, people might not think so quickly.
But the cause and effect of Qiao Siyu's death with a stick was clear to everyone in the Prince's Mansion. If what Lu Qing said was true, what kind of thoughts did Grandma Wang have at that time?
Everyone's attention focused on Grandma Wang. She unconsciously clenched her hands on her abdomen and retorted: "Concubine Qiao is crazy herself. She talks crazy words. How can Concubine Wei take her seriously?"
Ning Huayue also joined in: "Don't mention the dead people, don't you think it's bad luck?"
Lu Qing suppressed her smile: "That's right. If you mention it again, it will make me think that the speaker has ulterior motives."
Ning Huayue glanced at Grandma Wang warningly, and Grandma Wang lowered her head silently, not daring to speak anymore.
After the greetings were over, Chen Qingzi walked up to Lu Qing and said, "You said this today, are you afraid of disturbing the situation?"
"I'm not afraid. I have nothing to do with them. If I really don't have any doubts, they won't be afraid. If I'm not afraid, they won't reveal more lies."
Once they realize that Lu Qing may know something, they will try to find out how much information has been leaked. Only in this case can Lu Qing catch them.
"So you just said you deliberately deceived her?"
"That's right. Mainly because I really annoy her about Brother Jiu."
Chen Qingzi caught a glimpse of Lu Qing's frown. She thought for a moment and said, "What happened to the child has happened. Don't blame yourself too much. Besides, the prince's son is not afraid of not being able to raise him."
This sounded funny, and Lu Qing was amused. She exhaled and said, "That's it, it can be raised well."
Lu Qing is confident that he will take good care of Brother Jiu and watch him grow up safely.
Chen Qingzi frowned: "It's a pity that Mrs. Qiao's maid left with her on the day she died. Otherwise, we could have found someone to ask."
Lu Qing was more tolerant: "It's okay. Since you did it, it will definitely leave traces."
It's still a long time before she can find those traces.
