On the Double Ninth Festival, after paying homage to the ancestral temple, Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu were officially adopted by Fu Guiyun.

Since the Battle of Dali, Lu Linchu seemed to have completely changed into a different person. He began to be interested in government and military affairs. He went to the army early in the morning every day and did not return to the palace until nightfall.

This is a double blessing for Fu Guiyun.

That night, he returned from the military camp as usual and went into Chuxian Palace to have dinner with the mother and her two children.

The imperial court has not yet sent officials to garrison Dali, and the maintenance of stability in various places depends on the Liyang Palace. Knowing that he has been busy recently, Fu Guiyun deliberately asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that the prince likes at dinner time.

Lu Linchu was eating with gusto, but suddenly he put down his chopsticks when he thought of something.

"Today I heard some news in the army that the situation in the north is becoming increasingly unstable, and the various countries are mobilizing troops more and more frequently. Could it be that Song Weizhao is planning a rebellion and attacking our Great Kang Dynasty?"

Having said this, he deliberately raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Guiyun.

Fu Guiyun did not rush to answer him, but looked at the two little guys and asked with a smile: "Are you full?"

Lu Qingchen touched his bulging belly and nodded obediently.

This time, Lu Qingyu put down his chopsticks directly, but he looked at the half plate of steamed venison in front of him that he had not finished eating, feeling a little reluctant.

Looking at the little guy's greedy look, Fu Guiyun was a little amused.

I don't know why Qing Yu can eat so much. He is obviously very small, but he can eat an adult's amount of food at every meal and doesn't gain weight.

"Miss Yu, don't eat too much for dinner, otherwise you will be too full to sleep."

Shuyan advised softly from the side.

"It's okay. If she likes it, let her eat more."

Patting her little head, Fu Guiyun reminded her: "But you really can't eat too much, because you still need to have breakfast when you wake up tomorrow."

Lu Qingyu nodded obediently, picked up the chopsticks again, picked up only a few slices, and put down the chopsticks decisively after eating.

Seeing that the little guy finally stopped lingering over the remaining venison, Fu Guiyun asked happily, "Then why don't you follow Shuyan with your brother to walk in the yard, and then take a bath and rest early?"

Lu Qingyu nodded obediently again. The brother and sister bowed to Fu Guiyun and Lu Linchu, and followed Shu Yan out of the dining hall in small steps.

Seeing how the Crown Prince's Consort had taught the two children to be so well-behaved and sensible, even Lu Qingchen no longer had the hostility of the past, and Lu Linchu immediately showed a fatherly smile on his face.

"Gui Yun, my mother is right. The best thing she has done for me in her life is to marry a good daughter-in-law like you." Lu Linchu said sincerely.

Thinking about the days when he was with Yunling, he felt extremely ashamed when he often didn't know how the two children were doing for many days.

But recently she would send herself off to accompany Fuxiang after every dinner, which made people feel really uncomfortable.

Counting the days, these days are the most inconvenient time for her, and she has no mood to mention staying overnight.

Fu Guiyun had no idea what he was thinking, so he changed the subject.

"Although my husband and father have conquered the two countries of Darong and Dali, there are still many remnants ready to make a move. For example, the emperor of Dali will probably make a comeback sooner or later."

Glancing at him tenderly, Fu Guiyun said solemnly, "I don't think His Majesty will summon the Liyang Palace to the north, so you just need to help your father guard the southern border."

The emperor is so cold and indifferent that Lu Linchu would not think of helping him fight against the northern border, especially now that he has conquered Dali, which will make the emperor even more wary of him.

If I really go north, it’s hard to say whether I can come back safely.

When he mentioned the matter of the Northern Territory, his mind was not on this at all. He just wanted to tell her that Song Weizhao was coming back.

But she deliberately ignored what he said, clearly pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth.

Sighing angrily, he deliberately said, "Guiyun, if Song Weizhao can really gather a large army from the Northern Kingdom, and then form a fire and water situation with my Liyang Palace, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Guiyun's eyes suddenly darkened: "What exactly do you mean, my lord? Do you think I am a fickle woman, or do you think that you are inferior to that Song family man?"

Lu Linchu's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

He didn't know why he was so anxious.

He calmly waved towards Cuiluo Qinglu in the room, slowly stood up, walked behind Fu Guiyun, bent down and gently hugged her waist.

"I know I shouldn't always mention that traitor, but since you've married into my Liyang Palace, I'm looking forward to you, my father, my mother, and Chen'er and Yu'er. Our family can stay together forever, without having to worry like we did in Yundu."

He spoke softly and in detail into Fu Guiyun's ear, which moved her a little.

The prince has really changed now and knows who to treat as family members.

"What happened in Yundu City is in the past and will never happen again."

Fu Guiyun responded softly: "Chen'er and Yu'er are my children, and my father and mother are also my parents. We will naturally stay together forever."

Only then did Lu Linchu feel relieved.

Knowing that she didn't want to hear about Song Weizhao anymore, he quickly changed the subject: "How is my sister doing these days since she came to the mansion?"

"The whole family is in trouble. It will take a while for them to adjust."

Fu Guiyun replied truthfully: "I heard from Xiao Kuizi that Miss Cui didn't want to be disturbed. I told Xiao Kuizi to prepare everything Miss Cui needed and told her to treat the palace as her own home and allow her to mourn in Lanyue Tower."

"That's how it should be."

Lu Linchu nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "During this expedition to Dali, there was a young general named Han who accompanied me to the expedition. He died in battle at Huayang Pass. His father also died on the battlefield when he accompanied my father to the expedition earlier. It can be said that his family is full of loyal heroes."

Sitting down next to Fu Guiyun, he continued, "At present, the Han family only has the old lady and her daughter who just turned 15. There are no male members in the family, and those hooligans often come to bully them. I felt sorry for them, so I took the little girl from the Han family as my sister and promised the old lady that I would choose a good marriage for her daughter."

"The martyrs' families should be properly resettled."

Although Fu Guiyun felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that the prince had adopted his sister, she approved of both the Cui and Han families' affairs from the bottom of her heart.

The soldiers fought to the death outside to defend their country. Now both the father and the son died in the battle, leaving behind an orphan girl and a widowed mother to depend on each other. It is indeed a pity.

"That's true, but the girl from the Han family is quite arrogant. I'm afraid she won't be able to live a peaceful life after marrying into her husband's family."

Lu Linchu frowned and said, "So I thought that after she finishes the mourning period for her brother, I will bring her to the palace. Guiyun, you can help to train her well and then choose a suitable marriage for her."

"If she is too ambitious, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to satisfy me in a short time."

Fu Guiyun couldn't help but frown.

After all, she couldn't force her husband's family to marry her just because she was the Crown Prince's Consort.

“No matter how high your ambition is, you can never reach the sky.”

Lu Linchu said: "At worst, I can add some dowry for her myself. After all, it will be related to the reputation of the palace, so that no one will dislike this marriage."

It was rare that he was becoming more serious and doing things more decently, so Fu Guiyun did not refuse: "Then I'll give it a try."
