"The third prince is back now?"

Holding the greeting card in his hand, Lin Ruhai felt quite incredible.

"How come you didn't hear anything?"

It turned out that Cen Mingche rushed back to the capital after a long journey. He went directly back to the palace without lingering and reported what he had seen along the way to the emperor.

As for those dandies, they are still detained in the military camp outside Beijing!

Therefore, almost all officials in the capital did not know that Cen Mingche had returned.

After Cen Mingche came back, he just took a short rest and came to visit Lin Ruhai the next day, which caught him off guard.

"Come in quickly."

Lin Ruhai straightened her clothes, stood up hurriedly, and went to greet Cen Mingche.

"I have seen the Third Highness."

"Quickly excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you, Master Yushi, to come and greet me."

Before Lin Ruhai could salute him, Cen Mingche supported him.

"Master Lin, please don't be polite. I should salute you. I will accept your advice from now on."

"I don't dare to use the word 'advice' as a subordinate."

The two of them walked into the hall, where the guest and the host took their seats. The young boy served them tea.

Cen Mingche waved, and the little eunuch who followed him brought a brocade box.

"I came back yesterday to see my father, who asked me to learn from you."

He had a good-natured smile on his face.

"Master Lin is so happy to have made the tiles. Your wife should be three years old this year, right?"

These three years old are virtual years.In fact, after February [-]th, Lin Daiyu was just two years old.

Cen Mingche opened the brocade box and placed it on the case.

"In that case, let me give this long-life lock to your wife for your blessing - I begged my father to reward me for this."

But I saw that the treasure was shining brightly. It was a piece of Hetian ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg. It was as bright as a cock's comb, with a grease luster. Its purple-red part looked like clotted blood. It was carved into the shape of a wish-fulfilling lock of longevity. It was inlaid with five-color gems and engraved with "Bamboo for Peace". "picture.

As the proverb goes: "Jade hanging red is priceless."

Although this longevity lock only uses such a small piece of jade, it is extremely precious just by looking at the appearance, not to mention the exquisite carving and the five different-colored gemstones that are only the size of rice beads——

These five gemstones are actually divided into blue lapis lazuli, white diamond, red coral stone, black dragon crystal and yellow cat's eye stone strictly according to the color of longevity. There is no description of the color or appearance. .

This thing is not only precious, but also contains beautiful blessings.

Lin Ruhai picked up the longevity lock, looked at it carefully, stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

There are many superstitious people in the world, and rich people even use treasures to save their lives.Lin Ruhai's family has only one daughter for three generations, and she is also frail and sick.This treasure gift is really just right.

"Go get the young lady."

Lin Ruhai ordered to go down, and soon a nanny came over with a child in her arms, followed by two girls.

"This is my little girl."

The child was only two years old. He was a small child with delicate features but a gaunt look. He was obviously sickly.

The wet nurse hugged her and saluted Cen Mingche: "I have met His Highness."

Cen Mingche curiously approached and took a closer look.

This is the legendary Lin Daiyu and Sister Lin!

Although she was very young, no more than a toddler, Cen Mingche felt that she was more beautiful than his younger brothers and sisters. She had an extraordinary charm of her own. She was indeed a fairy descended from the earth, different from others.

The little girl stared at him for a while with her big black grape-like eyes, then suddenly smiled sweetly.

"Your love is so cute."

Cen Mingche smiled and shook his head.

"If only I had a sister like this."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing. After washing her hands, she personally hung the longevity lock sent by Cen Mingche on her daughter.

"I hope my little girl can borrow His Highness's blessings and grow up safely."

"That must be possible."

Cen Mingche teased Lin Daiyu, who was still a toddler, and took the opportunity to touch the child's hand - it was less than one-third the size of his hand, and he could hold it up with one finger. He was a child.

After that, he exchanged a few words with Lin Ruhai, then said goodbye and left.

After all, he didn't come here to say anything serious, he just came to say hello and give a gift.

When you leave the palace, you will naturally report to the emperor when you return - although the emperor may not necessarily see you.

However, it is one thing whether the emperor sees you or not, and another thing entirely whether you come to see him or not.

Cen Mingche had good luck today, and the emperor happened to have time to see him.

"You're back from meeting Lin Ruhai?"

Emperor Qian asked him with a smile.

Cen Mingche sat at the bottom, seemingly casual.

"Yes, I have met her. The gift was delivered to her, and I also met the little girl from Mr. Lin's family. The two or three-year-old child is particularly cute. I wish she were my sister."

The emperor was surprised and said: "How many younger sisters do you have?"

Cen Mingche sighed: "No sister can be as beautiful as the little girl from the Lin family!"

The emperor was very interested: "Seeing that you like her so much, how about I give her to you as your princess?"

Cen Mingche's eyes widened instantly.

"Father, she is only three years old! Three years old! When she grows up and marries me, I have to stay in the palace and become a helper!"

The emperor laughed.

"I'm just teasing you!"

Cen Mingche pretended to be shocked and patted his chest.

"...Father, you scared me to death."

"Speaking of which, you are also 14 years old. It has only been two years since you got married, left the palace and opened a palace. Have you thought about what kind of princess you want?"

Cen Mingche turned his head and thought for a while.

"Father, this is putting my son in a difficult position. I have never seen many ladies of the family, so how do I know what kind of princess I want? However, the ones my father chose for me are naturally good ones."

The emperor was noncommittal and just smiled and said: "Okay, go back and see your mother and concubine quickly. She has been worried about you for nearly two months since you left. Why don't you go back and comfort her?"

"Then I went to visit my mother and concubine. I will retire."

The emperor waved his hand and let him go.

In Quanchun Palace, Concubine Liang had been waiting for Cen Mingche for a long time.

"My son! You are back! Are you injured? Did you have a hard journey?"

Concubine Liang took Cen Mingche's hand and asked a series of questions.

Although Cen Mingche was amused, there were warm ripples in his heart.

"Concubine...Mother, I've been fine all the way. It's my fault that I'm worrying about you."

"I bought some local products in Liaodong and I will ask Thuja to deliver them to you later."

Concubine Liang pulled him to sit down at the table. His favorite dishes were already placed on the table.

"You don't need to bring anything. I'll be happy if you come back safe and sound. Come on, eat something. Are you hungry?"

What Cen Mingche likes is the "fresh" taste, so there are only three meat, three vegetarian and six dishes on the table, but all of them are his favorites.

"My mother-in-law still loves me."

I ate comfortably until I was seven-tenths full, and finally drank a small bowl of spring bamboo shoots and chicken soup. I put my chopsticks down from the side and told Concubine Liang about the interesting things I had learned along the way, making Concubine Liang happy.

The palace servants cleared away the dishes, first brought tea to rinse their mouths, and then brought red dates and hawthorn tea to the mother and son, and then withdrew in a sensible manner.

Concubine Liang hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My son, have you ever thought about what kind of princess you want to marry?"
