Chu Lang

This is the first year that Chu Yue and Lin Yuan spent together.

Chu Yue and Xie Changge almost returned to Chang'an on New Year's Day, and the day they entered the city was already New Year's Eve.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Xie Changge changed into court clothes and brought Chu Yue into the palace to face the saint.

The old emperor tacitly allowed his son to run to Nanzhao and turn back to Chuyue, but in fact the calculations in his heart were clanging.

Well, Nanzhao's greatest threat to Dali in recent years has been the King of Anyang.I heard that the King of Anyang came back after he broke his face with Emperor Nanzhao. Even if he can't be used by me, at least his heart will not be biased towards Nanzhao.

The old emperor is old and has seen too many things. At this age, what he wants most is nothing more than family harmony and children and grandchildren around his knees.Sitting in the golden palace, he looked Chu Yue from head to toe, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his ineffective son had a good eye for picking people.

"Ziyu, right? Come, come, give me a seat, give me a seat." The old emperor waved to the palace people.

The palace people quickly moved to sit on the couch.

The old emperor looked at the couch, then at Chu Yue's stomach, and said, "Change, change to a chair."

After running all the way, Chu Yue was indeed tired, so she didn't refuse, and quickly thanked her.

Thanks to his wife and daughter, Xie Changge also sat on a chair, so he didn't have to stand and talk to his father.

The old emperor did not embarrass his son, and asked him casually about his experience and knowledge in Jinling, and asked him to write a book after the next year, recording all the testimonials he saw in Nanzhao that could be used by Da Li.

Afterwards, the old emperor said, "How do you plan to spend the New Year this year, Changge?"

"Going back to Emperor Father, I have traveled all the way. Besides, Ziyu is still healthy, and the rules in the palace are strict, so it is really reluctant. How about this year, I will make some dumplings with Ziyu and Yuan'er in the East Palace, and eat them. Father There are ladies from different palaces in the imperial palace, so the sons and ministers will not come and cause trouble." The crown prince spoke from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest selfishness of wanting the family to have a reunion dinner alone.

The old emperor had known for a long time about his son's prospects, although he was a little displeased, he let him go.

Before Xie Changge left, the old emperor said: "The New Year's Eve is up to you, but you must enter the palace to pay your respects on the first day of the new year. I haven't seen Xiao Linyuan for some days, so I miss him very much."

Xie Changge knew his father's temper, and said coquettishly, "Father may not have seen my son for a long time, so why do you only think about Yuan'er. Did you forget about my son when you have Yuan'er?"

The old emperor liked Xie Changge's set very much, he laughed, pointed at Xie Changge and said to Chu Yue: "Ziyu, look at him, he even eats his own son's jealousy."

"Before in Jicheng, Lin Yuan often told me that he missed Grandpa Huang. It can be seen that Lin Yuan respects and loves His Majesty from the bottom of his heart just like His Highness. His Highness is taking advantage of Lin Yuan's absence to compete with him for favor." Chu Yue has been in the officialdom for a long time. After standing beside the suspicious Chu Chen for so long, he naturally has his abilities.

The old emperor was really in a good mood, and the little unhappiness in his heart disappeared just like that.

In the East Palace, Chu Qi and Chu Lin, two restless little fellows, were running around in the courtyard of the Peaceful Palace. Xie Linyuan was holding a book of poems, and stood on the porch looking at them helplessly.

The apprentice Lin Si accepted on Chuyue Road was still young and had a shy temper. He was a little timid when he first arrived in a new environment. He just stood behind Xie Linyuan and quietly looked at everything in the Hall of Peaceful Heart.

Looking at the children in the courtyard, Qingsong felt the passage of time. When he stood in the courtyard of the East Palace last time, Lin Yuan was still in His Highness's stomach, but now he stands here with a book in his hand and looks at Chu Chu like an adult. Qi and Chu Lin are playing around.

Years are not forgiving.

Chu Qi and Chu Lin didn't dare to pounce on Chu Yue now. Seeing Chu Yue and Xie Changge come back, they threw themselves on Xie Changge's body, one on the left leg and one on the right leg, but both pairs of eyes stared straight at him. Looking at Chu Yue, she shouted crisply: "Father!"

"What about me?" Xie Changge protested, looking at his two leg pendants, one on the left and one on the right.

"Mother Concubine!" Xie Changge got two smiling faces that even grinned at the corners of their mouths at exactly the same angle.

Lin Si also called "Master" and "Master" timidly.

Lin Yuan threw the book on the table in the main hall, and trotted over, showing dimples, mouthing one father and one father, with as sweet a voice as possible.

Xie Changge pointed to Chu Yue's slightly raised belly, and said, "There is also a younger sister."

Lin Yuan squatted down again, and greeted Chu Yue's stomach in a decent manner.

"Lin Yuan has grown taller again?" Chu Yue held Lin Yuan in her arms and measured her with her hand, "In a few years, she will be taller than me."

Reasonably speaking, Chu Yue is not short, but I don’t know if it’s because of the climate or other reasons. The people of Beili are naturally taller than the people of Zhaoguo. Chu Yue is considered to be of medium height when he arrives in Liguo, but he is still a bit short compared to the Xie family. .

"Anyway, my father is the highest in my heart." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Xie Changge hasn't been away from Linyuan for such a long time since Linyuan was born. Both father and son wanted to kill each other.Xie Changge tricked the two leg pendants into wrapping around Qingsong, then hugged Lin Yuan by the waist: "Good boy, it's heavy again."

Lin Yuan struggled for a while symbolically, and then said: "Father and father really, just after they came back, one said that Erchen was taller, and the other said that Erchen was fat. Erchen doesn't want to grow taller and fatter at all, son I just want to be a child forever, and stay by my father and father's side for the rest of my life."

Xie Changge felt that this way of speaking was really familiar. Thinking of what Chu Yue said to his father in the palace just now, he immediately found it very interesting, and turned his head and said to Chu Yue: "I'm right, although Yuan'er I didn't grow up by your side since I was a child, but my temperament is very similar to yours. Even the level of flattery has to be passed down from you."

Chu Yue covered her mouth with a chuckle and didn't answer, Lin Yuan shook her calf, and said confidently: "Everything I said is sincere, I'm not flattering you. It's Daddy, who offended my father and me during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I don't want to get along gone."

Xie Changge put down Linyuan, spat out a mouthful of old blood, and reflected on his family status for a while.Then he remembered his plan to make dumplings tonight, and hurriedly ordered Shixuan: "Go and prepare some stuffing and dough, Gu and Ziyu will make dumplings tonight."

At night, Shixuan not only prepared dumpling fillings, but also arranged for fireworks and firecrackers.

Xie Changge has personally taken care of Lin Yuan over the years, and has also learned how to cook. Things like making dumplings are still at his fingertips.

Chu Yue grew up in the mountains, and she had to take care of everything in the mountains by herself, and she once made dumplings with her master and senior brothers.

but……

"Qingsong, why did you roll out a square dough? Ziyu, what is the shape of your dumpling?"

There are still differences between the North and the South.

Lin Yuan also made dumplings with Xie Changge in previous years, and now he took Lin Si to teach him step by step. Lin Si also studied hard, and soon he looked decent.

As for Chu Qi and Chu Lin, just don't make any trouble, don't expect them to be of any help.The two of them begged for two pieces of dough from Qingsong, and kneaded all kinds of strange shapes beside them.

"Father! Look at the duck I pinched." Chu Lin held up a strange object to show off to Chu Yue.

Not to be outdone, Chu Qi held up a long object: "Father, my carrot."

Chu Yue: Not bad, all good.

With a lot of people and quick hands, and Shixuan called a few palace people on duty, the dumplings were almost ready soon, and Qingsong took the palace people to the back kitchen to make dumplings.

Chu Lin has a temperament that can't be idle at all. When he has nothing to play with in his hand, he puts his idea on the fireworks and volunteers to set off the fireworks.

Xie Changge quickly stopped Chu Lin: "Don't make trouble, the fireworks are too dangerous, let Shi Xuan set them off."

Shi Xuan didn't give Chu Lin a chance to protest, and went directly to the yard to light the fireworks.

Colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky, as if the east wind came suddenly, blowing away the roses all over the courtyard.But in the blink of an eye, the fireworks faded, and they came like a westerly wind.

Everyone looked up at the sky, only Chu Yue suddenly bent down, and gently touched her lower abdomen with her palm.

Seeing Chu Yue's movements, Xie Changge hurriedly hugged him worriedly, and asked, "What's wrong? But there's something wrong."

Chu Yue shook her head and smiled at him: "The baby can move, and Linyuan can move in more than three months, but it has to wait for nearly four months, so it can be seen that he is a lazy child."

"Lazy girl is not very good." Xie Changge covered the back of Chu Yue's hand, feeling the tiny movements of the baby in her belly with him.

"Why do you think it's a girl?" Xie Changge has been yelling at her daughter since she knew that Chu Yue was pregnant, and Chu Yue didn't ask him until today.

Xie Changge kissed Chu Yue's ear, and said: "I want a girl, if she looks like you like Lin Yuan, she will be a rare beauty."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Yue scolded.

The children in the yard were chattering and playing non-stop.

In the corridor, two lovers rubbed each other's ears, talking in whispers.

Another year has passed.

This is the No.12 year they have been in love.

In the future, there will be many New Year's Eves waiting for them to walk hand in hand.

The author has something to say:

Bug fix: Calculated the marching time, from Nanjing to Beijing, according to the normal marching speed, it should take more than half a month to arrive, so the first sentence in Chapter 24 "July, Jinling" was changed to "June, Jinling"
