The prince returned to the East Palace, and not long after, Li Defu sent the painting.
The moment he saw the painting, the prince was stunned and in disbelief.
He glanced at Li Defu, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
In the end, Li Defu laughed and explained: "The emperor said that he was also tricked by Lord Wang."
When the prince heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.
Li Defu continued: "The emperor also said that it doesn't matter who the prince chooses in the first place. Since it doesn't matter, don't let yourself regret it."
The prince's hand holding the painting tightened slightly, and then he sneered coldly: "Get out!"
Li Defu responded and ran away with his legs that were not very flexible.
In the palace, the prince looked at the painting for a long time, but could not find Wang Xiu's shadow.
Finally, he couldn't help but sneered: "So ugly."
Outside the hall, Hua Zimo, who was dozing, heard footsteps. When he suddenly opened his eyes, he found that it was Yu Deshui.
He glared at Yu Deshui displeasedly and planned to continue sleeping.
But the moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to notice something, and immediately opened them again.
He walked up to Yu Deshui and lifted Yu Deshui's chin. Sure enough, he saw that Yu Deshui's face was swollen, and there were faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth.
Hua Zimo has been in the East Palace for so long, but he has never met such an arrogant person. He even dared to beat the palace people around His Highness the Crown Prince.
He immediately yelled angrily: "Who hit me?"
Yu Deshui brushed his hand away and said calmly: "The Crown Princess is worried about Your Highness's health and takes it out on me."
Hearing this, Hua Zimo said coldly and angrily: "Don't she know why His Highness is feeling uncomfortable? How could she..." Have the nerve to hit you?
Huazimo didn't say it out loud, because no matter how bad the princess was, she was still her master.
When a master punishes a slave, sometimes he only needs an excuse, or even no excuse at all.
Yu Deshui also understood very well, so he smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's just a few slaps, it won't hurt after a while."
Huazimo said: "I will be on duty in the afternoon, you can go and rest first."
Yu Deshui nodded and was about to leave when he saw the prince walking out.
The prince stared at his face, and Yu Deshui quickly lowered his head, a layer of sweat forming on his forehead.
Of course, he didn't dare expect the prince to stand up for him. If the emperor knew that the prince was angry with the princess because of a slave, he might be the one who died.
Yu Deshui knelt down and said in a panic: "It's all the slave's fault. It was the slave Wu Zang who bumped into the Crown Princess."
When the prince heard this, he didn't say anything. He just said to Hanako Mo: "It's Chinese New Year. According to the old practice, does the prince's family have to hand in a sign to the palace?"
Hua Zimo said quickly: "Yes, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Usually, Zhongyongbo Mansion will hand over the sign on the second day of the Lunar New Year and enter the palace on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
The prince said calmly: "Then just refuse this year. I don't want to see them and make noise."
Hua Zimo's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he lowered his head.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
After Hua Zimo left, Yu Deshui raised his head tremblingly, but he only saw the prince's back.
The prince was not in a very good mood, and he didn't know if it was because the prince had hit him in the face. Yu Deshui stood up, touched his painful cheek, and took a deep breath.
Does the Crown Princess really dare to think about it?
He seduced His Highness the Crown Prince?
Not to mention he is a eunuch, he is just a woman, and he does not have the courage.
Besides, can His Royal Highness be seduced by just a woman?
Are there not enough women in the East Palace? He would feel pity for her when he saw her, but His Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to even look at her.
Yu Deshui felt aggrieved. In terms of looks, he couldn't compare to Hua Zimo.
Why is Huazimo okay?
If Yu Deshui knew at this time that the Crown Princess had checked Hua Zimo long ago, he probably wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh?
…
Wang family.
Not long after Wang Xiu and Lu Yunhong came back, a eunuch passed the order and the emperor returned the Lu family's house.
The entire Wang family immediately wanted to celebrate Lu Yunhong and his wife, and regardless of whether it was the first day of the Lunar New Year or not, firecrackers were set off along the street for half an hour.
After learning the news, Ji Yunwei shamelessly came to the Wang family.
The Wang family knew that he was a good friend of Lu Yunhong and treated him warmly. Unexpectedly, a little later, they heard from the concierge that Lu Yunhong's eldest disciple Pei Shan had arrived with several young masters.
Lu Yunhong stood up and said, "I'll go tell them and let them go to the Lu family's house to have fun."
Wang Man quickly stopped Lu Yunhong and said, "This can't be done. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There is no reason to chase away guests."
With that said, he ordered his servants to go and invite him quickly.
After a while, they saw that the leader was Pei Shan, followed by Dong Zheng, Chen Anbang, Xie Cheng, and Liu Qingzhu.
They all came to Beijing to meet the saints, and they are currently living in the small courtyard arranged by the Wang family. However, because they heard that Lu Yunhong and his wife came to Beijing, and the emperor also gave back the Lu family's house, they couldn't help but come to congratulate them.
As the saying goes, it's easy to fall in love when you meet each other, and since they were all acquaintances, they started talking about each other after a while.
Wang Man took them to the edge of the stage to drink, shouting that they would not return until they were drunk.
Lu Yunhong followed them and turned back halfway.
Mrs. Yang felt strange when she saw him, thinking he had left something behind?
He also said that his hair was soaked by the snow and asked his servants to bring him an umbrella before going over. Who knew that Lu Yunhong would not leave when he came back, saying that he would go to accompany the guests after dinner.
Mrs. Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and laughed and cursed: "There is no one like you, why don't you go quickly. Forget about others, then Dong is your cousin-in-law, and Chen Anbang is your cousin, how can you not go with me?"
"Axiu is with us, and we will take good care of you."
When Mrs. Yang said this, she already wanted to hit Lu Yunhong.
Because Wang Xiu is her daughter, is it possible that she is not as careful in taking care of her as Lu Yunhong?
As a result, the next moment, she was slapped in the face.
Because Lu Yunhong looked at Wang Xiu's feet and said: "You walked on the snowy road today, your feet must be very cold. If you don't sit in the hall, go back and ask Rongrong to put a foot warmer bag on you, or take a rest earlier."
That's fine. Also, ask them to smoke the quilt while serving dinner, so that the quilt will be warm when you go back to sleep."
Mrs. Yang: "..."
Wang Xiu’s sisters-in-law: “…”
Wang Xiu is not used to the winter in the capital. It is too cold, so he likes to warm his feet when he is free. He must keep the quilt warm when he sleeps. Of course, it would be better if Lu Yunhong is with him.
But this was at her parents' house, so she had already restrained herself and tried to act as normal as possible.
Lu Yunhong is that little "accident" outside of normal.
Seeing that my mother almost didn't want to speak, Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, how can I be so squeamish?"
"Go and accompany the guests quickly. Don't ask Big Brother and others to entertain the guests for you. It's outrageous."
Hearing this, Lu Yunhong took the opportunity to say: "That's right, how about we go back to the Lu family tomorrow?"
It’s good to go back to the Lu family. I can kiss and hug my wife when I go to bed at night. It’s beautiful just thinking about it.
Wang Xiu didn't know what he was thinking about writing, so he immediately glanced at his mother secretly.
I saw my mother grabbing a handful of melon seeds without peeling them, with a sneer on her lips.
Wang Xiu secretly thought something bad, and quickly pushed Lu Yunhong, pretending to be serious and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You finally came back, just to live in your parents' house. If the Lu family wants to go back, you can go back on your own. I won't go back anyway."
"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
Woo hoo... my wife is not kind!!
He was left behind to protect himself at the critical moment.
Mrs. Yang peeled the melon seeds with satisfaction. She peeled a small pile in front of her and put them in a saucer. After hearing the sound, she handed it directly to Wang Xiu and said with a smile: "It's just that after finally coming back, I have to celebrate the New Year at home."
.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Yunhong with gloomy eyes and half-smile: "You want to go home, right?"
Lu Yunhong only felt his scalp tightening, and he immediately gave up and said: "Mom, I was wrong, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay."
Wang Xiu's sisters-in-law all covered their snickers and their shoulders trembled. Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing and bit his lip lightly.
Seeing his cowardice, Mrs. Yang was angry and funny, but she pretended to be indifferent and said: "Then why don't you go and accompany the guests? Do you want me to treat you?"
Lu Yunhong felt that he had lost both his wife and his army, and said sadly: "How dare I? I'll go right now."
After saying that, he stood up, bowed, and left reluctantly.
Mrs. Yang looked at his back, still confused, and said deliberately: "You want to take my daughter away during the Chinese New Year? I have worked hard to raise my daughter, but when I get married, she will be raised by his family? You are overestimating your capabilities!!
"
Lu Yunhong, who has learned how powerful his mother-in-law is: "..."
