   Chapter 423 Gathering (1)

  It's been a long time since we met again. There are so many things to say.

   It was getting dark, and Queen Qiao was still in the mood. She opened her mouth and said, "Let the imperial kitchen pass the meal. Tonight, Ben Gong and Hui An will stay in the East Palace for dinner."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "Daughter-in-law will let people pass the meal." Then he smiled and said to Princess Hui'an: "It's time for the concubine to go to the government office. I will invite the concubine to the East Palace, and it will be more lively if there are more people."

   To give face to the concubine is to give face to Princess Hui'an.

   Princess Hui'an felt relieved and smiled.

  When Concubine Wu came back, the East Palace became even more lively. Brother Jue was still weak and could not be carried out, and was coaxed by Lu Mingyu to stay in the dormitory.

   Sister Xuan went to the dining room with her parents. The little chubby face was beaming. She looked at her mother for a while, and her father for a while.

  Li Jing was almost melted by his daughter Meng's heart, so he leaned over and kissed her on the face. Sister Xuan immediately brought the other side of her face over, Li Jing laughed and lowered her head to kiss again.

   Sister Xuan took an inch and climbed onto her father's lap.

  Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "You are so heavy, stop pressing your father, come down quickly."

   Li Jing said immediately: "It's not heavy at all, just sit on my lap and don't have to go down."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and rolled her eyes: "Don't get used to her too much."

  Li Jing hugged the chubby little girl, his heart softened: "I haven't seen a child for so long, so I'll just get used to it for a while."

  Lu Mingyu's nose was a little sour, but he didn't say anything.

  Sister Xuan opened her eyes and floated back and forth between her father and mother. As if surprised, the mother, who is one of the best, actually listened to her father today.

  Li Jingyi lowered his head, looked at his daughter's admiring eyes, couldn't help laughing dumbly, reached out and touched his daughter's little face, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If you want to listen to your mother, father also listens to your mother."

   Sister Xuan snorted in disappointment.

  's lively expression made everyone laugh.

   Queen Qiao always complained that Lu Mingyu was too strict with her children, and usually kept her mouth shut. At this time, he said half-jokingly, "The child is still young and doesn't understand anything. Just teach it slowly. Don't be too strict. See what Sister Xuan is afraid of."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and said nothing.

   Li Jing took up the words naturally: "It is precisely because the child is young that rules must be established. When it is time to discipline, you must not be soft-hearted. You will not develop a arrogant and willful temper."

   Queen Qiao glanced at her son: "According to you, you two siblings should be the most arrogant and self-willed in the world."

  Li Jing grinned: "How can this happen. My mother taught us sisters and brothers so well, it's unparalleled in the world and hard to find."

   The long-lost and familiar flattery clapped loudly.

   Queen Qiao burst into music, and finally stopped talking.

   After a lapse of nearly two years, this scene was staged again in front of us. Lu Mingyu also felt familiar and familiar, pursed her lips and chuckled.

  …

  After dinner, Queen Qiao finally got up and left.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing sent Queen Qiao and others out of the East Palace together. After everyone left, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, joined hands in a tacit understanding, and slowly returned to the bedroom.

   Sister Xuan played for a day, and was served by the nurse to bathe and change clothes, and then coaxed to sleep.

  Brother Jue sleeps early on weekdays, but has been refusing to sleep today, insisting on waiting for his father and mother.

   Waiting and waiting, just waiting for Mother Yun.

  Qiyun took Brother Jue into her arms, patted her back, and coaxed softly: "It's so late, Brother Jue sleeps well. I'll see my parents tomorrow morning."

  Princess Hui'an and Concubine Wu went back to the Princess Mansion by carriage together. In the past few months, the husband and wife have been together less and more apart, leaning on their heads in the carriage, holding hands, and whispering intimately.

   "The queen mother is really interesting." Consort Wu laughed in a low voice: "I stayed in the East Palace for most of the day before I was willing to return."

  I don't even think about it, the couple reunited after a long time, I don't know how much I want to talk about private affairs. Queen Qiao insisted that she refused to leave, which made people laugh and helpless.

Princess Hui'an naturally spoke to her own mother: "My mother thinks about my second brother every day, and we meet again today, and it is inevitable that I want to talk with my second brother for a while. They are husband and wife. All right. What's the rush."

  Princess Wu and Princess Hui'an have been married for many years. They are familiar with her temperament and do not argue with her. They whispered with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for some days. After we go back, we will talk all night."

   said, rubbing her fingers around Princess Hui'an's palm.

   Princess Hui'an's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat at Consort Wu with a smile: "Old husband and wife, take the meat for fun."

   Consort Wu gave a cheeky smile and stretched out her hand to embrace Princess Hui'an in her arms.

   Princess Hui'an snuggled into her husband's arms, and suddenly said, "We will go back to Wu Mansion when we have free time in a few days. How about taking Li Ge'er to the Princess Mansion to stay for a few days?"

  The Wu family has prosperous children, and there are eight grandchildren, six boys and two girls. Brother Li was the second son of Consort Wu's younger brother, the nephew of his direct relative, and he was the same age as Brother Kui.

   Since we want to adopt, of course we have to choose the closest nephew by blood, and he is young, so he will be raised like his own son in the future.

   Consort Wu was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Princess Hui'an.

   Princess Hui'an sighed softly, with a bit of sigh in her voice: "For so many years, my stomach has not moved. It seems that I can't give birth. I also recognize it, so let's take brother Li and raise him!"

   "In the future, we will raise Li Ge'er as our own son. When Li Ge'er is older, I will go and ask the royal father to give Li Ge'er the title and family business of the princess's residence."

   It is most beneficial for the Wu family to choose a child from the Wu family. Even Li Ge'er's biological father and mother would definitely be happy.

Concubine Wu was not very happy: "I'd better wait a little longer. Maybe, in another year and a half, you will be pregnant. Even if there is no child, our husband and wife will live the same life. In the future, when we are old, let us The nephews should be filial and filial."

   Princess Hui'an glared at Concubine Wu: "I am a dignified Princess Wei, are you afraid that no one will support and be filial? I think the house is too deserted, and raising a child is lively under your knees."

"Anyway, I've made up my mind. If you don't want to open your mouth, I'll go back and tell the second brother and sister in person. When they nod, I'll take Li Ge'er back to the princess' mansion. From now on, I will be Li Ge'er's relative. mother."

   Princess Hui'an didn't mean to joke at all, it seemed she was serious.

   Consort Wu sighed and nodded. He took Princess Hui'an into his arms again: "In this case, I'll feel wronged."

   Princess Hui'an's nose was slightly sour, and she whispered: "Big fool, what grievance do I have. You are the one who is wronged."

   Consort Wu laughed, bowed her head and kissed Princess Hui'an: "It is the luckiest thing in my life to marry you as my wife."
