   Chapter 449 Contest

  Li Hao finally opened his mouth: "Fifth brother, come here."

  Li Chang's eyes lit up, and he rushed to the side of the bed quickly: "Third brother, are you not angry with me?"

   More than two years ago, Li Hao beat him up for no reason. It caused him to lie on the bed for more than half a month without being able to stay there. After that, Li Hao left Beijing, and he didn't even see him before he left.

   This incident left a deep shadow on Li Chang's heart.

   Moreover, in the past two years, he has written many letters, but Li Hao has not written a single reply. One faction is about to break with him. He was angry and aggrieved.

   In his heart, he was occasionally dissatisfied and unhappy, but he never defied his brother. How could his brother do this to him?

   Now my brother is willing to take the initiative to take care of him. How could he be unhappy?

   Seeing Li Chang's happy appearance, Li Hao felt a little sour in his heart, and whispered: "The mother and concubine are gone. From now on, our brothers will be the closest people. If you have anything, just come to me quietly."

Li Chang nodded again and again, thinking of his dead mother, his eyes quickly turned red: "Third brother, I have never had a chance to leave the palace, and I don't even know where the tomb of the mother and concubine is. When you go to kowtow and burn paper, take me with you. "

  Li Hao nodded.

   Meng Yunluo cried for a long time, and her mood gradually calmed down. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and said hoarsely, "Your Highness, when will we return to the manor?"

  Li Hao whispered: "I'll be back today."

   Meng Yunluo was startled and blurted out, "How can your body take it, you have to stay for two days before you stay."

   "No need." Li Hao's voice revealed determination: "I don't want to stay in the palace for a moment, we will go back today."

   Meng Yunluo couldn't help it, so she had to answer in a low voice.

  Li Chang was reluctant and whispered: "Third brother, as soon as you leave, I will be alone in the palace. Otherwise, I will also go out of the palace and live in your palace for a while!"

Although there were many people in the palace, no one cared about him. No one came to take care of him even when he was sick. In addition to the servants, there are palace servants.

  Li Hao looked at Li Chang's pitiful appearance, sighed secretly, nodded and said, "Okay."

  Li Chang was extremely happy: "Thank you third brother."

   Li Hao turned his head and said to Meng Yunluo, "Where's Sister Zhen, take her over. As a biological father, I haven't had a good look at my daughter."

   Meng Yunluo got up and went out. After a while, the nurse brought Sister Zhen in.

   Sister Zhen has thin eyebrows and thin eyes, fair skin, and cuteness.

   "Sister Zhen, hurry up and call Daddy." Meng Yunluo urged Sister Zhen as she pulled her over.

   Sister Zhen blinked her small eyes and called out daddy timidly.

   Until this moment, Li Hao had the self-consciousness of being a father, and responded with a smile. He reached out and touched Sister Zhen's head. Sister Zhen was not used to being close to strangers, so she reflexively retreated.

   Meng Yunluo was a little annoyed and glared at Sister Zhen: "This is your father, what are you afraid of hiding?"

   Sister Zhen was so fierce that she pouted and cried.

  The thin cry got into his ears, making people feel restless. Li Hao frowned subconsciously, and Sister Zhen was even more afraid. She broke free from Meng Yunluo's hand and rushed into the nurse's arms.

   Meng Yunluo became more and more annoyed, and was about to scold when she opened her mouth.

Li Hao looked over and said, "The child has not seen my biological father since he was born, and it is inevitable that he is unfamiliar now. In the future, I will rest in the house and spend more time with her, so she will not be afraid of me. Don't you either. Annoyed, let someone pack up and we'll go."

  …

  East Palace.

  The weather is exceptionally nice today. After lunch, Brother Jue and Sister Xuan chased after each other, and laughter filled the courtyard.

  Two excited little faces, shining in the sun. From time to time, he turned his head and shouted: "Mother!"

  Lu Mingyu responded with a smile: "Mother is here."

   She responded like this, and the children felt extra at ease. Soon it was fun again.

  Lu Mingyu looked at the pair of children, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were extraordinarily gentle.

A palace attendant walked over quickly and reported in a low voice: "Report to the Crown Princess, the Queen has sent a message. The third prince and the third prince have already left the palace and returned to the palace. Also, the fifth prince will also go out with him. Palace, go to the Third Prince's Mansion for a short stay."

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly and nodded slightly: "I see."

  The palace man closed his mouth and stepped aside.

   Brother and sister Xuan played for an hour and finally got tired. Lu Mingyu took a pair of children back to the bedroom and coaxed them to sleep.

  Lu Mingyu could hold his breath, but Queen Qiao couldn't bear it any longer. Soon came to the East Palace.

  Lu Mingyu stepped forward and bowed: "Daughter-in-law has seen mother and queen."

   Queen Qiao is not in the mood to be polite: "At this time, you are still in the mood to pay attention to these virtual courtesy."

  Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "The third prince did not stay in the palace to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, and walked neatly. What else is there to worry about?"

   Queen Qiao said strangely: "How can Ben Gong not be in a hurry. You haven't shown up today, and I don't know what Li Hao looked like when he woke up. You don't talk, don't laugh, don't move, it looks very scary."

   "After the emperor came, he felt distressed when he saw what he looked like. He kicked us all out and spent a long time alone with him. No one knows what he said."

   "Then, Li Hao insisted on going back to the palace. Li Chang actually followed."

   "The emperor knew about this, I'm afraid he thought it was because the East Palace was too narrow and could not tolerate brothers and sisters."

Lu Mingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice showed a bit of coolness: "This is exactly what Li Hao intended. The more he shows tolerance and concessions, the more domineering the East Palace appears. With the temperament and temperament of the father, the more he will be more towards His Highness and me. dissatisfied."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   Queen Qiao was anxious and angry, and whispered bitterly: "This bastard! Two years away from Beijing, I have won several battles, and my heart is more than a sieve."

Lu Mingyu opened his mouth to soothe: "Don't worry, Empress. Li Hao has always had ambitions for the crown prince. He used to hide it deeply and was overshadowed by the first prince. Even without Concubine Su's death, it would be time for him to meet the East Palace. thing."

   "This is just the beginning. No matter how he moves, we have a way to deal with it."

   "His Royal Highness led the troops on the expedition, made great achievements, and returned to the Chinese officials and generals. There are many supporters. No one can shake his position in the East Palace. The queen mother must be calm."

   "Now, it's us who have the upper hand. We just act generously and don't have to do or say anything."

  Queen Qiao was originally in a mess, but when Lu Mingyu said this, she finally calmed down: "You are right. The emperor is not happy because of Su Fei's death. At this time, we can't say anything right."

   "Even if they leave the palace and return to the palace, they don't have to wander under their noses and make this palace feel uneasy."

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "The mother said yes."

   This contest has just begun.
