   Chapter 451 Left out (2)

  Lu Mingyu doesn't like extravagance and waste. The dinner in the East Palace is not complicated, with eight dishes and one soup, as well as soup and noodles. Queen Qiao seemed to be angry with someone, and ate far more than usual.

   Li Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not advisable to eat too much for dinner. The mother's most important way to maintain health is to eat too much tonight."

   Queen Qiao ate too much in a fit of anger, and she was indeed a little panicked, and finally put down her chopsticks.

  After dinner, Queen Joe left, and the children went to bathe.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing finally had some alone time.

  Li Jing was sulking in his heart, and only then did he express his chest: "My father wants to repair the emperor's tomb, so give me this errand."

  Lu Mingyu's brows moved, and he glanced at Li Jing: "It's inevitable that the royal father will neglect you for a while. You have to keep your temper and don't show your unhappiness."

  Li Jing exhaled: "Don't worry! I'll just talk about it in front of you. My mother was there just now, so I didn't even mention it. I'll save my mother from being so angry that I won't be able to sleep tonight."

  Lu Mingyu was also a little helpless.

   In the previous life, Emperor Yongjia was heartbroken and his sons died one after another, and he was also seriously injured on the battlefield. After returning to Beijing, he fell ill and died soon after. Li Hao was a prince for a year, and soon sat on the dragon chair.

   In this life, everything is different. The eldest prince only injured his right leg, Li Jing was safe, and Emperor Yongjia was doing well. Looking at the posture, it would not be a problem to live another ten or twenty years.

   In this way, Li Jing, the prince, has to be a man with his neck tucked in his tail.

  The emperor is prosperous in spring and autumn, and it is not easy for the prince to do it.

  Lu Mingyu whispered soothingly: "The father asked you to repair the emperor's mausoleum, so you can take over the errand and repair it slowly. If you are young and strong, you can endure the errand if you work hard."

  Li Singing nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't talk about that. Tomorrow our husband and wife will go out of the palace and go to the Lu Mansion for a day. I haven't had a drink with my father-in-law and brother-in-law for a long time."

  Lu Mingyu also thought about his father and brother in his heart, and responded with a smile.

  …

   The next morning, Li Jing and Lu Mingyu led their children from the palace to Yue's house.

   Queen Qiao not only did not stop her, but also specially prepared a generous gift for Lu Mingyu to bring back together.

   Lu Lin, the father-in-law, was too good to say anything to Li Jing. Li Jing has the help of the Yue family, and the storage position in the East Palace is as stable as a mountain.

   However, Queen Qiao's good mood did not last long.

   Soon, Concubine Meng, with a ruddy complexion and a delicate complexion, came to the Jiaofang Palace to greet her. Concubine Meng is like a dried-up flower that has been well watered, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes sparkle.

   "My concubine, please greet the Empress." Concubine Meng saluted, with a particularly dazzling smile on her face.

   Queen Qiao sneered in her heart, and said lightly: "Be flat, give a seat."

   After Concubine Meng sat down, she pretended to accuse her: "The concubine waited on the emperor to change clothes early in the morning. It's too late to come here today, please don't blame the empress."

   Queen Qiao endured her dismay and said, "Serving the emperor is the most important thing. It's okay to ask this palace to greet you sooner or later."

   Concubine Qin, who was sitting beside her, was also dismayed.

  The land has been dry for more than two years. Emperor Yongjia went to Yanxi Palace first, and others could only watch.

Concubine Qin, with the mentality of "it's better for everyone to feel uncomfortable than one person", deliberately glanced at Wang Jieyu: "When the emperor returns to Beijing, the first place to go is the Yanxi Palace. It can be seen that the emperor cares most about Concubine Meng. ."

  Wang Jieyu seemed to have not heard what Concubine Qin meant, and sat quietly with a smile on her lips.

   Concubine Meng spit out the sullen breath that had accumulated for a long time, glanced at Empress Qiao intentionally or unintentionally, and then smiled: "Concubine Qin, please don't talk nonsense. How can a concubine be compared with the empress?"

Queen Qiao sighed in her heart, and the smile on her face was elegant and dignified: "Ben Gong is a grandmother, aged and fading, and has no face to serve the emperor. There are so many young and beautiful concubines in the palace, which one does the emperor like? Whichever one you choose, this palace is happy."

   Then, people admired Concubine Meng.

  Cailan brought a few high-quality palace forgings to Concubine Meng. Concubine Meng's beautiful face was instantly distorted, and she quickly returned to normal. She thanked her with a smile and received the reward.

  Queen Qiao ignored Concubine Meng and smiled at Wang Jieyu: "Why didn't you bring the little princess today? I haven't seen this palace for a day, and I remember it very much!"

  Wang Jieyu smiled softly and said, "Go back to the Empress, the little princess slept late yesterday. When the concubine came to greet her this morning, the little princess was still awake. The concubine thought, let the little princess sleep longer."

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "The child is still young, it is the time when the body is growing. It is indeed time to sleep more. When you wake up, let the nurse come over."

  Wang Jieyu replied with a smile.

   Concubine Meng glanced at Wang Jieyu and hummed coldly.

  The emperor is not a person who likes the new and hates the old. Even if he has a new love, he is equally affectionate to her. The first one to stay in the Yanxi Palace after returning to the palace is the proof.

  …

  In the Lu Mansion, the joy of reunion after a long absence was lively.

   "Father," the moment Lu Mingyu saw Lu Lin, her eyes suddenly turned red and her voice choked.

   In this life, Lu Lin finally returned to Beijing safely.

Lu Lin was very happy when he saw his daughter, and joked with a smile, "Prince Concubine Wei is unparalleled, she raided the barracks at night and assassinated the commander of the Yan army. Her reputation has already overshadowed all the generals of the Wei Dynasty. Now she is crying. Don't be seen by outsiders."

   Familiar banter, familiar love and concern.

  Lu Mingyu sucked his nose and swallowed the tears from the corners of his eyes: "It's been more than two years, I finally see my father today. I'm a daughter, what's wrong with crying."

  Lu Lin raised his hand and surrendered: "I was wrong. You can cry if you want, and whoever sees it will not dare to make fun of you."

  Lu Mingyu was amused and laughed.

  Lu Lin felt a little regretful. In the past, when father and daughter reunited, he always had to hug his daughter. Now that her daughter is grown up and married, it is not appropriate to be so intimate.

   Fortunately, there is a pair of grandchildren to hold.

  Lu Lin leaned down, picked up Brother Jue'er and Sister Xuan, and said with a grin, "Brother Jue, Sister Xuan, don't you remember who I am?"

   On the way to Lu Mansion, the two brothers and sisters had been taught by their mother for a long time. At this time, they shouted together: "Grandfather!"

  Lu Lin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and kept saying eh eh eh.

   Everyone was amused.

   Brother Jue is obviously thinner than Sister Xuan, but he is in good spirits and has a very handsome face. Sister Xuan is chubby and chubby, like a fat doll in a New Year's picture, very cute.

  Lu Lin looked at his grandson and granddaughter, and fell in love with him. He couldn't help but leaned in and kissed Brother Jue's little face, and then kissed Sister Xuan.

   He had his face trimmed yesterday, and he shaved the beard that had lasted for more than two years.

   "Grandfather, I want to play in the garden." Sister Xuan said loudly.

   Brother Jue immediately echoed: "I want to go too."

  Lu Lin hugged a pair of children, and was reluctant to let go, he opened his mouth and said, "You talk first, I will take my grandson and granddaughter to play for a while."
