First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 913 Family Reunion (1st update)

Grandma Zhou’s family was celebrating her birthday in a few days, so she bought rice, flour and spices. Xiao Heng helped move them in, and happened to meet her grandson reviewing his homework.

The child couldn't pronounce some words and couldn't write the stroke order, so Xiao Heng taught him some lessons.

When he returned home, several children went to play in the backyard, and Xuanyuan Qi also went to the backyard to enjoy family happiness with Qingkong.

　　Although my son is good, he is already past the age of cuteness. Where can I find a small space for fun?

Gu Jiao was packing her clothes in the east room. She neatly spread her beautiful dresses all over the bed.

When Xiao Heng entered the room, she was admiring her clothes one by one.

 Her eyebrows showed an expression of enjoyment, and she was also a little proud.

Xiao Heng came to her side and looked at her funny: "What happened, you are so happy?" As he said, his eyes fell on the clothes all over the bed, with a look of amazement on his face, "Where did all these clothes come from? "

 Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "My mother did it!"

Xiao Heng smiled unexpectedly: "Did you call me mother?"

Gu Jiao blinked: "...Hmm."

 Is this girl sometimes shy? Xiao Heng couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

 “Why are you laughing?” Gu Jiao asked seriously.

Xiao Heng cleared his throat: "Ahem, it's nothing."

You're cute.

Of course, Xiao Heng's smile was not just because he was amused by her, but also for a very important reason. He was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't know what she had gone through to have such a hurdle in her heart.

 But no matter what, she crossed over today.

 In fact, Xiao Heng knew that these clothes were made for her by Mrs. Yao. They left the capital in March last year. Now it is May. For a whole year and two months, Mrs. Yao has not seen Gu Jiao.

But there was not a day when Yao didn't miss Gu Jiao. She made clothes for Gu Jiao when she had nothing to do, but she didn't do much for Gu Xiaobao.

These are only the best ones that Yao has carefully selected. There are still many that Yao thinks are not good enough and have not taken them out at all.

 Gu Jiao finished showing her clothes to Xiao Heng, then sat on the edge of the bed and folded them one by one.

Xiao Heng sat on the other side of the bed and handed her clothes. While handing them over, he said, "I'll tell you good news or bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

 “Okay.” Gu Jiao said.

It seems that this girl is really happy tonight, otherwise with her past temper, she would have heard the bad news first.

Xiao Heng was infected by her emotions, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised unconsciously: "The good news is that our wedding date has been brought forward and we don't have to wait until October."

“Huh?” Gu Jiao paused in folding her clothes and looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Heng said: "The emperor's uncle changed it to the eighteenth day of next month before it was announced to the public. The reason is that the empress dowager of Zhao State was ill and needed a big wedding to celebrate, so the marriage between the two countries was Earlier."

 Gu Jiao: Auntie, you are also skinny.

Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was so stimulated by Marquis Xuanping who showed off his little girl all day long, finally gave up her principle: she wants her great-grandson, now, immediately, right away!

Xiao Heng looked at her tenderly and said, "But don't worry, it's just that the date has been moved forward, the wedding will not be simple."

 In fact, Princess Xinyang has been preparing for the wedding since the first month of the year, and everything is already in place.

Seeing her silence, Xiao Heng said, "Of course, if you don't want to advance, I'll have someone change the wedding date back."

Gu Jiao said seriously: "It doesn't matter if it's in advance or not. The main thing is to give my aunt a happy birthday."

 Xiao Heng held back his laughter.

“Then, what’s the bad news?” Gu Jiao asked.

Mentioning this, Xiao Heng looked up to the sky and sighed, "Ah, the bad news is that because we are getting married, I resume Xiao Heng's identity and am no longer Xiao Liulang. According to the rules, I can no longer live here before the wedding, aunt. Grandpa came back late again, so I can only trouble you with Jingkong, Gu Yan and Xiao Shun’s homework.”

 Gu Jiao: A bolt from the blue!

 …

 After nightfall, the family sat in the main room and had a meal together.

Xiao Jingkong insisted on sitting next to Gu Jiao. He still used his own small cutlery and small vegetarian dishes.

Xuanyuan Qi sat on the other side of him, listening to him showing off his small tableware: "This wooden bowl is made by Jiaojiao, this spoon is also made by Jiaojiao, and the patterns on the chopsticks are carved by brother Xiaoshun..."

 He spoke with great care, and it was obvious that he was being carefully cared for in this home.

 Gu Xiaobao went to grab his chopsticks and messed up the tableware he had finally laid out. He was not angry, but just picked up a wooden bowl and handed it to Gu Xiaobao: "You can only play with this, chopsticks and spoons will poke you."

Gu Xiaobao obediently took the wooden bowl and started playing with it awkwardly.

Xuanyuan Qi never thought that he would be reunited with his family other than his son.

 A meal that everyone enjoyed happily.

Xuanyuan Qi's eyes fell on Xiao Jingkong and Gu Jiao from time to time, switching back and forth, and even Liao Chen noticed them.

There is nothing strange about looking at Jing Kong. After all, he is his grandnephew, but why do he always stare at that girl?

Xuanyuan Qi sighed in a low voice: "I never thought that one day, she would be able to live like a normal person."

"Dad, what did you say?" Liao Chen thought his father was talking to him, but he didn't hear clearly.

"Ah, it's nothing." Xuanyuan Qi said, "Let's eat."

 …

 After dinner, it’s time for Xuanyuan Qi to go back.

 An Guogong's people had built a house in the capital in advance, and Xuanyuan Qi and Luo Chen also lived there.

Xuanyuan Qi said goodbye to his family, and Gu Jiao took Xiao Jingkong to the door to see off the father and son.

"You talk to your uncle for a while, and I'll boil the water." Gu Jiao said to Xiao Jingkong.

"Okay, Jiaojiao!" Xiao Jingkong nodded and let go of Gu Jiao's hand.

Gu Jiao turned around and entered the house.

Xuanyuan Qi knelt down on one knee, looked at him deeply, took off a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth, and said kindly: "Jingkong, do you want to stay with your uncle for a few days?"

 “Why?” Xiao Jingkong asked.

Xuanyuan Qi said: "Because, my uncle misses you very much and wants to see you more."

Xiao Jingkong said oh and said, "If you miss me, you can come and see me! I can't leave. The bad brother-in-law has left. I want to stay with Jiaojiao! I can't let Jiaojiao be alone!"

Xuanyuan Qi smiled, patted his little shoulder and said, "Okay, don't let Jiaojiao be alone."

Xiao Jingkong sent the two of them out of the house, stood at the threshold and waved to them, saying goodbye cutely: "Goodbye, uncle! Goodbye, master!"

 The father and son rode off.

Xiao Jingkong closed the courtyard door, stood on tiptoes and locked the door latch, ending her cuteness in one second.

He had a serious face, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the steps of Uncle Zhao next door.

 …

After leaving the alley, Xuanyuan Qi said to his son: "Jingkong is living a good life. You are right to entrust him to Jiaojiao."

Liao Chen said: "I didn't entrust it to you, the young monk chose it himself."

 Xuanyuan Qi was slightly surprised: "Really?"

Liao Chen said: "Yes, the family who wanted to adopt him went back on his word. It happened that the girl came to the temple to buy a mountain, and the young monk followed her down the mountain."

Xuanyuan Qi thought thoughtfully: "That's really... fate."

Liao Chen looked at him deeply: "Dad, why do I feel that you treat that girl a little differently?"

Xuanyuan Qi glanced at his son and said, "Don't say it's just a girl, no matter how big or small."

Liao Chen smiled: "Dad, she is twelve years younger than me! She is the adopted daughter of An Guogong and my cousin. According to seniority, she has to call me uncle!"

Xuanyuan Qi opened his mouth, but hesitated: "Anyway, don't call her girl."

“I know, dad, let’s call her by her name, okay?” Liao Chen said and glanced at his father, “You can’t even call her by her name, right?”

Xuanyuan Qi was just thinking about how to answer his son's words. Suddenly, his ears twitched and he turned around: "Someone went to Bishui Hutong! He is a master!"

Liao Chen stared at it and said, "I'll go take a look!"

 After saying that, he used Qinggong and disappeared into the night.

 …

Gu Jiao was washing Xiao Jingkong's hair in the backyard. She noticed a breath approaching quickly, which seemed to be heading towards Xiao Jingkong.

Her eyes flashed, she turned around to protect Xiao Jingkong behind her, and pulled out the red tassel gun beside her.

However, before she could take action, Liao Chen arrived.

Luo Chen didn't give the man a chance to enter the yard, so he knocked him away with one palm.

He caught up with him.

Gu Jiao called Yu Ya'er and asked her to continue washing Xiao Qingkong's hair, and she chased her out.

 Liao Chen blocked the opponent into the opposite alley, and the two sides fought fiercely.

 But the opponent's skill was not as good as Lingchen's, so Liaochen slapped him with another palm, sending the opponent flying and hitting the wall behind him.

Liao Chen looked at him coldly: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

The other party covered his painful chest and did not answer his words. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are taking advantage of others' danger! If I were in my heyday, I would not lose to you!"

Gu Jiao came to Chen's side, looked at him intently, and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
