   Chapter 431 Leaving the Palace (2)

As soon as    Qiyun left, Lu Mingyu suddenly looked empty.

  When I was thirsty, the cup of tea that was silently delivered to my hand was missing. When I wanted to speak, I lost a pair of quiet listening ears. When he turned around, the familiar and reassuring smile disappeared.

  There are many palace servants in the East Palace, but no one can replace Qiyun.

   Sister Xuan is also not used to it. She has to ask several times a day, "Where's Mama Yun?"

   "Where did she go? I miss Mother Yun."

  Lu Mingyu coaxed softly: "Mother Yun is pregnant and will go out of the palace to raise the baby. After a few months, Mama Yun will return to the palace to accompany you after giving birth."

   Brother 鏝 and sister Xuan had flat mouths and cried for a while. After asking for many days, I slowly accepted the fact that Qiyun had left the palace.

  Lu Mingyu also sighed to Li Jing: "I have been with Qiyun's master and servant for many years, and we have been with each other day and night. When she left, I also felt empty and quite uncomfortable."

   Qiyun spent more time by her side than anyone else. Although her father loves her, she lives in the military camp for a long time and is always out in battle. Siblings don't stick together all day either. Only Qiyun stayed by her side for several years. It has long been a part of her life.

  Li Jing rarely sees Lu Mingyu sighing like this. It is novel and interesting, but also a little sour: "I've been gone for more than a year, do you miss me too?"

  Lu Mingyu shook his head honestly: "That's not true."

   Li Jing glared at her feigningly, rushed over like a tiger and wolves, and kissed her fiercely.

  Lu Mingyu's laughter was quickly engulfed.

   After a long time, Lu Mingyu raised his head with blushing cheeks and grabbed his hand: "Don't be ridiculous. You can't forget what Zhou Yuan said."

   The injury has not healed, so it is not advisable to indulge in sensuality.

  Li Jing resigned helplessly, hugged her quietly, and sniffed the faint fragrance in her hair. Lu Mingyu rested his head on his chest.

  The two just hugged each other silently, even if they didn't say anything, they felt peaceful and contented.

   After a long time, Li Jingcai broke the silence: "You can't worry about Qiyun, so you often send people to take a look. When Qiyun gives birth to a child next year, let her come to the palace."

  Lu Mingyu hummed.

  Knock, knock, knock on the door.

  Li Jing frowned slightly and raised his voice: "Who is it?"

   "Your Highness," Eunuch Xiaoyuan's voice sounded from outside the door: "His Royal Highness and the fourth prince and concubine are here."

   They came together as husband and wife, apparently to discuss something.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing looked at each other, each having a guess in their hearts.

   "Ask them to wait in the nave, we'll be there in a moment."

  …

After    a cup of tea, Lu Mingyu and Li Jing went to the inner hall together.

   The fourth prince and Zhao Yu, the couple, were leaning against each other and whispering, but when they heard footsteps, they stood up to greet them together.

   "Second brother, second sister-in-law," the fourth prince smiled and bowed his hands: "Our husband and wife came uninvited and took the liberty to interrupt."

   Brother Chen had a full moon a few days ago. After Zhao Yu was born, he was finally able to come out and move around. Bai Nen's pretty face was much plumper than before, and her complexion was so enviable that she opened her mouth with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness and I are here today to say goodbye to the second brother and the second sister-in-law. We plan to lead brother Chen back from the palace today. home."

  Lu Mingyu had already anticipated the couple's intentions, so he was not surprised to hear this, and said with a smile, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? It's okay to stay longer."

The fourth prince smiled and said: "The prince who opened the palace, living in the palace is against the rules. It was because the Yan soldiers attacked the city before, and several princes and concubines all entered the palace to live. Cousin Yu gave birth to a child in the palace, and now the confinement It's done too. It's time for us to go home too."

"Yeah, let's say goodbye to the second brother and the second sister-in-law first, and then go to the Shouning Palace of Jiaofang Palace to bid farewell to the mother, the queen and the grandmother." Zhao Yu continued with a smile: "Anyway, the prince's residence is very close to the palace. I will often bring Brother Chen to the palace to be safe in the future."

   The husband and wife made up their minds to leave, and Li Jing no longer stayed bitterly, and said with a smile, "That's fine."

  Lu Mingyu stepped forward, held Zhao Yu's hand and said with a smile, "That's fine. I'll have to come to the palace often in the future."

   Zhao Yu smiled very playfully: "Of course. Second sister-in-law, don't think I'm too diligent."

   After the fourth prince and his wife left, Lu Mingyu chuckled softly: "The fourth brother and the four younger sisters act in a proper manner and are very knowledgeable."

   has become a pro-prince, and it is indeed not appropriate to live in the palace for a long time.

  If the fourth prince had the cheek to live like this, Li Jing and Lu Mingyu would not open their mouths to yell at anyone. However, it was very rewarding that the fourth prince and his wife took the initiative to leave the palace.

  Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "In the past, I underestimated the fourth brother. Over the past year, the fourth brother has performed well."

   Not to mention the credit for leading the troops to pacify the bandits, the friendship that traveled thousands of miles to the barracks is enough to move people.

   The most rare thing is that the fourth prince did not take credit for himself, and still acted cautiously and measured.

   On the other side, the fourth prince and his wife were also whispering after they left the East Palace.

   "You see what I said is right!" The fourth prince chuckled in a low voice: "We took the initiative to leave the palace, so as not to be annoying for a long time."

   Zhao Yu nodded and smiled and said, "When we're gone, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law have no reason to stay in the palace. When the big guys are gone, the second brother and the second sister-in-law will be quiet in front of their eyes, and they will be able to recover from their injuries in peace."

  The more people there are, the more right and wrong.

   Several princes and concubines lived in the palace, and it was inevitable that there would be some gossip on weekdays. No matter what, it's just a bunch of people. All have different thoughts. Still gone quietly.

  Going to Jiaofang Hall was also very smooth.

  Queen Qiao used to treat all the princes the same way. In short, they were all pretentious. Now, he treats the fourth prince differently, rewarded him with a bunch of things, and told the fourth prince and his wife to always enter the palace to say goodbye.

  The fourth prince always had a sweet mouth, and smiled and thanked him: "The mother is so caring and caring, both of us and husband and wife will keep it in our hearts. In the future, I will always come to greet my mother and be filial to my mother."

   When Shouning Palace said goodbye, Empress Dowager Zhao was particularly reluctant.

   "What are you doing in such a hurry." Empress Dowager Zhao frowned unwillingly: "Did the prince and the prince concubine urge you to leave the palace? The Aijia asked them to come over and ask them what they had in mind."

   The fourth prince hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand the grandmother, it's me and Cousin Yu who want to go back. Although the palace is good, it is not suitable to live for a long time. The fourth prince's mansion is the home of our husband and wife."

   These words can be regarded as stabbed into the heart of Qin Fei.

Concubine Qin suddenly blushed, covered her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed softly: "You grew up in the palace, why is this not your home? Your mother and grandmother are all in the palace, when the emperor comes back, you kiss Dad is also in the palace. Why can't you live in the palace?"

   "From my point of view, the Crown Prince can't tolerate you, so he deliberately pushed you away."
