Pei Shan, his wife and the prince arrived in the capital on the eighth day of July.
Just after the Chinese Valentine's Day, colorful lanterns can be seen hanging everywhere on the streets of Beijing, swaying slowly in the breeze.
Pei Shan first sent the prince back to the East Palace to explain to the emperor what he had seen along the way. When he returned to the Lu Mansion, it was already dark.
The whole family was waiting for him to come back for dinner. Only Lu Chengxi was thinking about asking for a gift. Lu Xinran didn't say anything and turned his eyes again and again, feeling full of anticipation.
Fortunately, Pei Shan had prepared early and gave Lu Chengxi two large conchs to put in his ears to listen to the sound of the sea. He also gave Lu Xinran two strings of shell wind chimes. Those wind chimes were very beautiful, small and exquisite, and came in different colors. Lu Xinran immediately
Cheering, he took him back to his room.
Xu Yanxin said from the side: "The gift was chosen when we went to Tianjin and has not been changed since. Pei Shan said that Chengxi and Xinran must like it very much. As expected, he knows the children's preferences best."
Wang Xiu joked: "After all, they were brought back from Tianjin, how can you not be surprised? You brought back two grasses, saying they are only found on the seaside, and they can have fun all night. Maybe when An Nian comes, you can still
Can you tell me the origin?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Children's happiness is very simple, but how can adults' happiness be the same?
Wang Xiu smiled and asked Pei Shan to sit down and eat.
Xu Yanxin helped serve the soup. She looked much cheerful and her face was rosier than before.
Pei Shan was as quiet as ever, smiling slightly, but his eyebrows were more calm, with a hint of Lu Yunhong.
After dinner, Pei Shan and Lu Yunhong went to drink tea and talk.
Xu Yanxin accompanied Wang Xiu, telling them what they had seen along the way and the interesting things that happened to His Royal Highness.
Wang Xiu followed Le, and after a while, Pei Shan came to pick Xu Yanxin up to go home. Wang Xiu didn't keep them overnight, but just told them to go back and have a good rest.
Pei Shan and Xu Yanxin refused to let her send them away, saying they would come over tomorrow.
Wang Xiu also followed them and took a walk in his garden.
Not long after, Lu Yunhong also came back, but with a picture album in his hand, which he said was given to her by Pei Shan.
Wang Xiu took it and opened it, and found that it turned out to be some street scenes in Tianjin. Each one was colored, which showed the care taken.
There are quiet fields and white seabirds flying in the sky.
There are golden rice fields, and the dummies made by the farmers are half exposed in the rice fields, which looks funny and fun.
There are also bustling streets, children running around, and market stalls piled one after another with fruits and vegetables piled high.
And in the quiet night, with the bright moon, the little squirrel climbing on the tree was eating, and the village not far away shone with warm lights.
The scenery is beautiful and the painting style is very healing.
Wang Xiu was reluctant to close it for a long time and looked over it several times.
Lu Yunhong was jealous and said from the side: "Since you got this album, you haven't even looked at me. If you keep doing this, I'll go back tomorrow."
Wang Xiudao: "The child's heart is very peaceful. He cherishes everything around him. Pei Shan is already strong enough in his heart."
"Today I looked at Yan and looked at my belly with envy, but there was no disappointment in her eyes. She must have learned a lot during this trip to Tianjin."
"Seeing the couple like this, I have nothing to worry about anymore."
Lu Yunhong took the album over and put it on the top of the high cabinet with evil intentions, and then said: "There is no need to worry in the first place. If you care, it will be chaotic."
Wang Xiu glanced at the top of the cabinet and said, "Lu Yunhong, if you put it so high, aren't you afraid that the chair with the footrest will tilt and fall down when I pick it up?"
Lu Yunhong frowned and muttered: "Then you can't find a servant, why do you have to take it yourself!"
But while he was talking, he had already taken it off and put it on the low table by the window.
At the end of the day, he complained quite a bit: "I can also draw, what about healing wind, hum!"
Wang Xiu: "..." Then you are painting??
Talk nonsense!
Lu Yunhong, who heard her voice: "..."
…
In the palace, because of the return of the prince, a long-lost family dinner also ushered in.
Seeing the queen's belly bulging, the prince's eyes showed a hint of tenderness. He looked at his father and said, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, can I hold my sister and look at the moon?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked interestingly: "Why is it my sister?"
Hearing this, the prince hummed and said, "Because you already have a son, is it possible that you don't want a daughter? I heard what Master Ye said. He said that you have even thought of your daughter's name."
Jiang Qing opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked the emperor, "Really? Why didn't I know?"
The emperor looked a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Let Qin Tianjian do it. We also need to calculate the birth date. I don't know if it can be used yet, so I didn't tell you."
Jiang Qing said in astonishment: "Is it so troublesome?"
The prince nodded: "Yes, the royal children are so troublesome! I heard that my name was chosen from dozens of names. My father liked it before, but later it was combined with my birth date, and none of them were used."
"Oh, by the way. Father, is there a lack of wood or a lack of water in my horoscope?"
The emperor glared at him and said angrily: "Lack of fire!"
The prince immediately smiled and said: "I'll just say it, otherwise why would you call me Jing Huan?"
Jiang Qing thought that the prince was given a name by the late emperor, and that was the name he had given him. Who knew there were other names in it? She suddenly had a headache and said: "I secretly thought of two before, but now I'm afraid
It can’t be used anymore.”
The emperor quickly said: "No problem, use it as a nickname, we can call it our own!"
The prince asked again: "Father, what is my nickname?"
The emperor said: "It seems to be called Yuanyuan. I don't remember it. Your grandpa called it. You could eat it at that time, and it looked round-headed and round-headed."
The prince immediately said: "You are still your biological father, I can't even remember him clearly!"
The emperor asked: "Why do you talk so much when you come back from a trip?"
The prince said: "I was not mute before. Do you think I am an eyesore?"
The Emperor: "..." His chest was slightly blocked, but he couldn't tell the truth.
The Queen quickly said: "Oh, don't talk nonsense, your father has been talking about you for a long time."
The prince's eyes lit up, but he was suddenly surprised and said: "Talk about it, is he old?"
"Oh, he is much older than you!"
The Emperor: "..." It's even more blocked!
He suddenly felt that he could no longer have this son!!
So he turned around and looked at Jiang Qing expectantly: "Forget it, let's just have a son!"
Jiang Qing chuckled, nodded his forehead and said: "You want to be beautiful, we already have a son, and I just want to have a daughter. Being as good as Xinran is so cute, don't you like it?
?”
Lu Yunhong’s family is happy!
That little girl is so well-behaved, I like her every time I see her.
What a pity... He glanced at his son and thought that he didn't even know he was tricked by his aunt back then.
But it would have been nice if the first child born to Lu Yunhong's family was a daughter, and her age was not much different from that of the prince.
Now Xinran and Annian look at each other, they look like a perfect match.
The prince felt warm in his heart when he heard the queen's words. But when he looked at his father's hesitant eyes, he suddenly felt strange.
He asked the queen in a low voice: "What is that look in my father's eyes? Does he have any regrets?"
Jiang Qing smiled and said: "He, is it a pity that Xinran was not born earlier?"
The prince was confused and asked strangely: "Why? If Xinran was born earlier, wouldn't she be his daughter?"
After finishing his words, the prince wailed.
His old father who couldn't bear it gave him a violent shock!!
“I can’t even shut your mouth when eating!!”
Prince: "..."
Jiang Qing laughed cheerfully on the side, and she didn't know who she was laughing at. But listening to the voice, she seemed to like the warm atmosphere of such a family together.
