After leaving Bagua Chang, the next stop is Yaoguang Hall, where the dining place is.

Due to reasons in his previous life, Emperor Hulu attached great importance to family ties, so he stipulated that the whole family must be mobilized for royal meals to enjoy every moment of family gathering, except in extreme weather.

After all, there are many wives, many children, and a big house. If everyone eats their own food when eating, if they don't see each other for several days, the relationship will fade away.

Of course, there is no need for the Queen Mother to come with her. She lives far away and it would take more than half an hour to get here, which is too troublesome.

If other concubines are lazy, like Xiao Guoer, who has a sore back and weak legs, they can send a maid to pick up the meal, but they must pay a fine.

As soon as he came in, Hu Lu first saw two beauties, one big and one small, holding hands. They looked about 60-70% alike.

The eldest is Miao Hongxiu, Hulu's wife Zhaoyi, and the younger is Hongxiu's daughter, the Sixth Princess Hu Laoliu.

As soon as he saw his father, the three-year-old Lao Liu screamed and ran over, with enthusiasm and joy that could not be concealed on his face.

Hulu also opened his arms lovingly to greet her, then passed by the Sixth Princess and hugged her mother.

Sixth Princess: "..."

Hu Lu hugged Hongxiu and turned around, and even kissed him, "Xiu'er!"

"Your Majesty~"

Hulu glared at her.

She then changed her words, "Brother~"

Miao Hongxiu lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into her daughter's scrutinizing eyes.

It's not that Hu Lu had a bad habit of asking his concubines to call him brother. Xiao Guoer is the niece of the Queen Mother and his legal cousin. It's normal to call him brother.

As for the red sleeves~

Hongxiu's mother was Hulu's wet nurse. After Hulu ascended the throne, his wet nurse died of illness. He was grateful for her nursing kindness and treated Hongxiu and her brother as brothers and sisters.

Hong Xiu has been with Hulu since she was a child, and they studied and studied together. When there are no outsiders, they are like brother and sister.

Her biological brother is only one "brother", and Hulu is two "brothers", and sometimes the word "good" is added.

However, this did not affect the fact that after Hongxiu became more and more beautiful, Hu Lu included her in the harem and gave birth to Hu Lu's baby.

"By the way, brother, Gugufang received three secret reports this morning, one is from Lord He Kun, and the other two are from Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jiulang respectively."

Hu Lu trusted Miao Hongxiu very much and entrusted her with the management of letter sending and receiving organizations like Gugufang.

She did a good job and even went over to have a look before breakfast.

"I know, I just passed by there, no need to mention it again." Putting down the Hongxiu sister in his arms, Hu Lu picked up the Yaonv who was holding back his anger.

"Oh, I didn't see Xiaoliu just now. You can't blame me on my father. Who made you small? You have to grow up quickly. I heard your mother said that you only eat meat and no vegetables. You are a picky eater.

Girls don’t grow taller.”

Upon hearing this, the sixth princess became anxious, "I'm not picky about food anymore, I want to grow taller, as tall as daddy!"

Miao Hongxiu covered her mouth and snickered. It was useless no matter what she said. She had to let her father discipline her.

"Hey, there's a girl, she's as tall as your father, be careful she won't get married like that one~" A female voice from a royal sister sounded outside, followed by two maids who were waiting on her.

Miao Hongxiu smiled and saluted the visitor, "I have seen Concubine Shu~"

Concubine Wan Linglong, known as the "Empress of the West Palace", helped Miao Hongxiu up and said, "Sister, there is no need to be polite."

This woman is elegantly dressed, extremely beautiful, and has the kind of experienced beauty, like a ripe peach, exuding a charming fruity fragrance all the time.

Her eyes were particularly bright, and she seemed to be able to see gold-like light in the dark.

It was this woman who took away Hulu's first time and gave birth to two Hulu babies.

Wan Linglong, the owner of Weiyang Palace, greeted Hulu and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty stayed at Changle Palace last night. Why didn't you see Concubine Xian come with you?"

Xiao Guoer's personal maid followed. She took out a tael of silver and bowed, "Reporting to Concubine Shu, my concubine has a backache today and can't get up from bed. She specifically ordered me to pick up the meal. This is a fine."

Hearing "back pain," Wan Linglong glanced at Hu Lu meaningfully, then waved her hand, "Since it's a pain in the back, I must be seriously ill. It's extenuating, so the fine will be waived."

Wan Linglong is in charge of the inner treasury, and all palace expenditures and incomes, fines and salaries have to go through her hands, and there has never been any mistakes for many years.

After the maid left with the food box, Hulu came over and hugged Concubine Shu, "My sister Linglong, why didn't those three girls come with you? They were sleeping in. Could you help them pay the fine?"

Wan Linglong said, "They are not in my palace. They have been hanging out with the poppies in the East Palace these past few days. If you blame them, they can't be blamed on me. They can't even think of cheating my money."

Hulu scolded her, "You woman, you have nothing to lose."

The two of them were flirting with each other, but there was a commotion outside, and several girls could be vaguely seen.

First, a pair of little sisters who looked exactly the same walked in, disgusted with each other.

Hulu immediately hugged them and said, "My two little darlings, please give me a hug and a kiss."

The twins Fourth Princess and Fifth Princess said in unison, "Daddy~" "Daddy~"

Hu Lu smiled and asked, "Why didn't I see you in Changle Palace yesterday?"

"We're at Poppy's."

"We're at Poppy's."

Hulu: "I've been playing for too long, so I forgot to go back to my home."

"My mother told us not to go back."

"My mother told us not to go back."

Well, stereo surround sound, you can hear it really clearly!

Hu Lu couldn't help but slander Xiao Guo'er. In order to live a world of two with me, he actually handed over his two five-year-old daughters to others. What a clever little kid!

Then a taller girl came in, seemingly chasing the fourth and fifth children.

Hu Lu put down the fourth and fifth children, picked up the anxious third child and held him in his arms, "Run slowly, are you chasing two younger sisters?"

The third princess shook her head and said, "It's the eldest sister who is chasing me!"

"The boss is so sensible, why would he bully you? You must have done something bad."

"I didn't!" As she said this, she shrank into Hulu's arms with a guilty conscience.

At this time, the eldest princess chased in. She raised her arms and said, "Third brother, let's see if I don't spank your ass!"

The eldest princess is ten years old. She is tall and slim, obviously bigger than the other little ones, almost reaching Hu Lu's chest.

He stopped and asked, "Boss, what did the third child do?"

The eldest princess pointed at the third sister, "She painted on Sister Yu's face!"

The eldest princess's mother-in-law, Wan Linglong, scolded her, "Sister Yu, you should be called aunt."

The eldest princess muttered, "You're not much older than me~"

At this time, the second princess walked in with the poppy who was hiding her face. She had black hair like a waterfall, skin like cream, and a pair of water-cut autumn eyes with a deer-like cautiousness. Although "beauty" was her position and title, she should be regarded as

The nicknames are also appropriate.

Looking at the two marks on her face that looked like beards, Hu Lu almost laughed. He forced his smile back, "The third child really deserves a beating!"

"Your Majesty, you must be serious~" Wan Linglong thought about pleading for her daughter.

Poppy also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "It's fine, Your Majesty. It's my fault that I didn't put away my pen and ink."

Hulu didn't listen to them. The third princess realized something was wrong and wanted to run away, but Hulu held her tightly.

He said to the eldest princess, "But boss, you are too strong. I am afraid that you will break the third child, so I will do it."

As he said that, he put Hu Laosan on his thigh and gave him a crisp slap.

Then there was an endless stream of "pah pah pah".

The second princess covered her ears and took a step back. The fourth and fifth princesses clapped their hands happily to the music. The sixth princess was still sucking her fingers in confusion.

The eldest princess twitched her lips and said that I have strong hands.

The third princess has always been naughty and thick-skinned. The physical pain is nothing at all, but the mental damage is fatal.

Because Hulu said to her, "You are already six years old, no longer a four or five-year-old child. From today on, you and your eldest and second sisters should go to Tianlu Pavilion to study."

Hearing this, the third princess, who had been spanked without saying a word, finally cried.
