   Chapter 530 Return (2)

   After standing still, Li Jing bowed his body and clasped his fists and said, "My son has seen the father and emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia smiled happily, got up, walked over, and helped Li Jing: "Prince has worked hard in Zheng County for several months, and I have been thinking about it. Today I finally came back safely. Get up quickly! Let me see, have you lost weight?"

Li Jing got up and said with a smile: "I'm doing what I'm doing. Besides, I'm mostly giving orders, and the people who really run the errands are a group of officials from the East Palace and the newly appointed officials of Zheng County. It's them who have worked hard. If the royal father wants to reward them for their merits and deeds, they will be rewarded."

   This sentence was spoken calmly and in a grand manner.

   Old Qiao Ge and the others nodded secretly in their hearts.

   He is not arrogant in taking credit, and is willing to ask for credit for his subordinates. This is the Prince of Wei who is praised by everyone. No wonder the East Palace is united. To have such a prince is really a blessing for the country.

Emperor Yongjia was also very pleased, and praised Li Jing with a smile: "The prince went to Zheng County for a few months, and he really improved a lot. Good! Having such a prince is the blessing of the Wei Dynasty, and it is also my blessing. One day, I will pass thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to Prince, you can also close your eyes with peace of mind."

  Li Jing said hurriedly: "My father is prosperous in spring and autumn and has a long life expectancy. How can I say such unlucky and dejected words. My son only hopes that my father will live a thousand years, and my son will always be the crown prince."

  Emperor Yongjia laughed: "Listen to everyone, the prince will often flatter me."

  Qiao Ge smiled and continued: "The prince is full of filial piety and sincerity can be learned. Why is it just flattering."

   "It's the dragon's fart if you want to shoot." Luo Shangshu, who has always been Duanfang, also made a joke.

   All the ministers cheered and laughed together.

Emperor Yongjia laughed: "Okay, okay, it's only right that my son makes his father happy. It's been a long time since I've been so happy. Come here, pass me an order, and let the imperial kitchen prepare meals. At noon today, all the Aiqings stayed for dinner. ."

  Qiaoge Lao Luo Shangshu and others thanked them in unison.

  The eldest prince and the fourth prince were also laughing. However, there was a lot of unintelligible meaning in the smile.

  Emperor Yongjia was gentle and loving towards the prince who had returned from his merits, and the prince was even more enthusiastic towards Emperor Yongjia. This heavenly father and son look really kind and filial.

  Only those who are familiar with their father and son's temperament can keenly see the slightest bit of wrongness.

   seems to be wearing a mask. The expression on his face and the words he said were all prepared. A little too affectionate.

  …

   The palace banquet at noon was so lively that there was no need to elaborate.

After the palace banquet was over, Emperor Yongjia smiled and said to Li Jing, "It's been a few months since you left. In the harem, the queen mother always misses you. The queen and the crown prince also miss you every day. There are also brothers and sisters. I'm thinking of you, my father. You go to the harem first, see them, and then settle down and rest well. Come back to Wenhua Palace tomorrow when you have free time."

  Li Jing hurriedly smiled and thanked him: "My son, thank you father and emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, signaling the prince to leave.

  The eldest prince and the fourth prince also retire at the same time, leaving the Wenhua Hall with the prince and walking towards the harem.

  The eldest prince walked with a limp, glanced at the handsome prince with a long body and an extraordinary body, and the anger in his heart swelled up. Deliberately said: "Second brother, you have been in Zheng County for a few months, and many things have happened in the capital, you still don't know it!"

  Li Jing's smile didn't change, and he responded calmly, "I don't know what eldest brother is talking about?"

  The eldest prince smiled wickedly: "Oh, there are a lot of things. If you want to come together, it will take an hour or two to say less."

  Li Jing glanced at the eldest prince: "It's so long, I don't need to say it. I should know, I will always know."

   First Prince: "…"

   The eldest prince touched his nose.

  The fourth prince watched with great interest. The eldest prince swept his gaze, and when he saw the schadenfreude of the fourth prince, he suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.

  The fourth prince is also a narrow-minded person, and immediately handed over his hands: "Don't be annoyed, eldest brother. It's all my fault, eldest brother blames me if you want to."

  The eldest prince was so happy that he slapped the fourth prince.

   The fourth prince smiled cheekily.

   Li Jing also laughed. Thinking of seeing his wife and children soon, his heart is hot. I don't mind the expression on the eldest prince's face, and the pace is getting faster and faster.

   The one he most wanted to see was, of course, Lu Mingyu.

   However, the word filial piety comes first. When you return from a long way, you must go to Shouning Palace first.

   "Second brother, wait for me!" The fourth prince had to trot a few steps before he caught up.

  The eldest prince, who was left behind, turned black with anger. Knowing that he can't walk fast with a limp, Li Jing still walks so fast, isn't this deliberately humiliating him!

  Li Jing didn't have to turn his head to guess what the eldest prince's face was like. He winked at the fourth prince, and pouted again. The fourth prince laughed happily.

   First Prince: "…"

  …

   After a cup of tea, Li Jing took the lead in Shouning Palace.

   "His Royal Highness has come down!" The palace servants who were guarding the palace gate hurriedly ran to pass the message. Soon, Empress Dowager Zhao was greeted by the crowd.

   Queen Qiao and Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin, Wang Jieyu and others were all there. Of course, the most eye-catching was the beautiful princess with a bulging belly and brows in a vermilion palace dress.

   Li Jing's heart was hot, he couldn't control himself to take a few steps on the ground, and grabbed Lu Mingyu's hand: "Xiaoyu, I'm back."

  Lu Mingyu's heart was full of joy and sweetness, she pursed her lips and smiled: "You're back."

  The intimacy of the husband and wife made her feel a little sad and tasted, and she coughed slightly.

   Mother is here!

  Li Jing laughed, let go of Lu Mingyu's hand, grabbed his mother's hand, and said, "Mother, after so many days, my son has been thinking about his mother."

   Queen Qiao was coaxed so delightfully, she said with a smile, "Just come back. This palace also misses you every day."

   Empress Dowager Zhao also coughed.

  Li Jing turned to the Empress Dowager Zhao enthusiastically again: "Why don't the grandmother come? The grandson remembers the grandmother every day."

   Empress Dowager Zhao laughed and joked: "Aijia ranked third. It can be seen that the prince really misses Aijia."

   It was rare for the Queen Mother Zhao to joke and laugh, and everyone cheered, and the laughter was endless.

   Princess Hui'an looked at her younger brother who had reunited after a long absence with joy: "Second brother has lost weight and is a little darker."

  Li Jing raised his eyebrows confidently: "I used to think I was too white, and now it's just right."

   Everyone laughed.

   Empress Dowager Zhao took Li Jing's hand and smiled: "Don't stand here, hurry up and talk." Li Jing stepped forward naturally and supported Empress Dowager Zhao to go inside.

   Queen Qiao held Li Jing's other hand.

  Lu Mingyu didn't mind either, and followed slowly.

   Soon, all the playful children came over. Six or seven big and small, all rushed forward. The fastest runner was Sister Xuan who was the most powerful. She was the first to rush into Li Jing's arms.
