   Chapter 554 Relaxing (4)

   "Auntie!"

   "Second aunt."

  Lu Mingyu patiently led Li Cong to call people one by one. Li Wan was surrounded by the crowd with interest, and without any hesitation, shouted loudly one by one.

  The crowd praised at once: "Look at how handsome our brother is born."

   "Lou Luo is generous, not afraid of people at all, and has a loud voice."

   "He's obedient and well-behaved. How can he be as naughty as the fourth sister said."

   Li Cong was so proud of himself, with a small face raised and a little bit of his right foot, if he had a tail, he would have been raised to the sky.

  Lu Mingyu was amused: "Okay, everyone should stop praising him. He will take everything you say."

   In laughter, everyone sat around the table together.

   Although Li Cong is naughty, he eats very well. Sitting on a chair, what to eat, whispered to my mother. Lu Mingyu made a quick move, moved chopsticks, and filled the small bowl in front of him. Li Wan took the small spoon and ate it with satisfaction.

  Lu Mingfang said with a smile: "Isn't this very good!"

  Lu Mingyu smiled helplessly: "Every day, only when you eat and sleep is quiet. When you're full, you can take a look."

   "Boys are energetic, they're all the same." Shen Lan took over with a smile: "Brother Zhuang was the same when he was a child. He went to the palace to study last year, and no one was seen during the day, and I suddenly felt that my eyes were quiet."

  Lu Siyuan is Li Jue's companion.

   In this way, Shen Lan was indeed much lighter.

  Lu Mingyue asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, do you really plan to stay in the palace for half a month before returning to the palace? Will you remember brother and sister Xuan?"

   Actually, she has already started to think about it.

  Since the birth of elder brother and elder sister Xuan, she has hardly been away from her children.

  Lu Mingyu pursed his lips and smiled: "If you think about it again, I will stay for a few more days before going back."

   made everyone laugh.

  After dinner, Qiyun took Li Cong to take a bath first. Lu Mingyu entered the study and talked to Lu Lin. There are only two fathers and daughters in the study, and there is no need to twist and turn around to speak.

  Lu Lin asked bluntly: "In addition to the thorough investigation of private salt, is there any other purpose for the Prince to go to Jiangnan?"

  Lu Mingyu did not hide it from his biological father, and said in a low voice, "The famous family in Jiangnan is intertwined. Although most of them have been gone due to wars in the past ten years, the remaining forces should not be underestimated."

   "They colluded secretly and had a huge influence. Selling illicit salt to make huge profits was just one of them. They opened casinos and brothels to sell women and children.

   "The Governor of Salt Road died at the hands of an assassin. Thinking about it, it's shocking."

   "Father and Emperor ordered the crown prince to investigate private salt, eradicate these secretly colluding forces, and clean up the Jiangnan officialdom."

Lu Lin frowned and said after a while: "I had expected that the prince's trip would not be easy. The emperor entrusted this important task to the prince, which shows that he still trusts the prince. However, this is by no means easy, and there are many dangers in it! "

In front of his father, Lu Mingyu showed a real worry: "I am also worried about his safety. This time, the father gave him 2,000 imperial guards, and I asked Lu Yi to lead 2,000 personal soldiers along with him. One thousand prince's personal soldiers, adding up to five thousand people."

   "As long as no one dares to openly conspire, just by means of assassination, he won't be hurt in the slightest."

  Lu Lin nodded slightly and looked at Lu Mingyu: "You suddenly went out of the palace to relax, because you were worried?"

  Lu Mingyu hummed: "Not all of them. Staying in the palace every day is really boring. Taking this opportunity to come back and live for a few days, I can also take a few days lightly."

  Lu Lin felt heartbroken when he heard this.

  Li Jing has been sent out as an official in the past few years, and he has very little time in the East Palace. As a crown princess, Lu Mingyu sits in the East Palace, raises her children, and has to support Queen Qiao from time to time, which is really hard.

  Lu Mingyu knew what he was thinking when he saw that Lu Lin was silent, and smiled softly: "Dad, don't worry about me. My husband and I are united and we don't doubt each other. It would be harder and a better life."

   Lu Lin's frowning brows relaxed, and he said with a smile, "If he dares to bear you, I will be the first to forgive him."

  Lu Mingyu winked playfully: "With my father supporting me, no wonder I am so confident that I am not afraid of anyone." This is a metaphor for Emperor Yongjia.

  Lu Lin showed a knowing smile.

   Over the past three years, Dawei has been fairly peaceful. The 100,000 Xingyang Army had only been dispatched twice. However, as long as it is dispatched, it will smash the opponent with a thunderous momentum.

  With such an elite army in his hands, Emperor Yongjia highly regarded him as a minister of the humerus.

  Lu Lin asked with a casual smile: "There is a sixth prince in the harem, so it won't affect the East Palace!"

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "The sixth prince is only six months old, and it will be more than ten years later when he grows up. It's too early to talk about the impact now. Let's talk about it when he grows up safely."

  Children are prone to die prematurely, and they cannot be raised until they are over eight years old. A young prince who was born not long ago has little influence on the current East Palace.

   The real threat to the East Palace is Li Hao, and the increasingly unpredictable Yongjia Emperor of the Sacred Heart.

   Father and daughter whispered for a long time.

   At the end, Lu Lin said with a smile: "You can have a good idea of ​​these things. The Prince will support everything in the East Palace, and I will take care of the court. You can stay with Brother Cong with peace of mind."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile.

  …

   This stay is eight or nine days.

   I don’t care about everything every day, eat, drink, sleep, and laugh with Shen Lan and others when I have nothing to do. Even Brother Yun was naughty, she thought she was cuter than before.

   When you are in a good mood, your appetite will be good and your complexion will be better.

   Qiyun saw the ruddy face of the master, and couldn't help laughing: "Looking at the slaves, the empress is just too boring in the palace."

"Isn't that so?" Lu Mingyu was half-laughing and half-joking: "I've been married to Li Jing for so many years and lived in the East Palace for a few years. My mother treated me leniently, and no one in the harem dared to provoke me. Why do I still feel that in the Lu Palace? The most comfortable living."

  The kind of joy from the inside out, the warmth of being surrounded by family members, the kind of ease that doesn’t need to be exhausted and don’t need to be tense all the time, it’s really nostalgic.

  East Palace is of course also good. Her husband and children were there, and that was her home. However, for a married woman, her family is the root and concern of eternity.

   "The Empress is so happy to live here, you might as well stay for a few more days before returning to the palace." Qiyun whispered with a smile: "Anyway, Empress Empress sent Her Highness here, so I'm embarrassed to blame Empress."

  Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "Forget it, let's go back to the palace in two days! If I don't go back, brother and sister Xuan will be left alone, and I don't know what the trouble will be."

   While talking and laughing, Lu Mingyue came in hastily: "Fourth Sister, I'm here to tell you, I'll go back later."
