Chapter 454: Chu Wenzhong, the fragrant pastry, was made trouble by his brother-in-law
General Chu and his son separated from Bai Xiao and returned to the general's mansion. General Chu told his son:
"You have worried your mother a lot this time. You can tell your father all the things that happened on the road. But in front of your mother, you have to speak with some restraint and don't scare your mother."
"Yes, father, son knows."
Chu Wenzhong responded honestly. Fortunately, his lips were swollen and nothing could be seen.
General Chu took Chu Wenzhong straight to the main house.
"Madam, madam, look who's back."
"Zhong'er!"
Mrs. Chu saw the person coming clearly and stepped forward excitedly. She looked around Chu Wenzhong up and down. He had no missing arms or legs, and they were intact!
"You're back, you scared my mother to death."
Chu Wenzhong grinned.
"The mother is worried because her son is unfilial."
Mrs. Chu wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I'm worried about small things, but your wife is worried about big things! The fetus is not stable, and I have to worry about you every day. If it can't eat well and sleep well, how will the fetus grow well? Hurry up and go see your wife first.
Son, please wish me peace."
As Mrs. Chu spoke, she pushed Chu Wenzhong out. She had already seen her son with beard and tail, and that was enough. She had plenty of time to chat with her son, but her daughter-in-law was more important.
Chu Wenzhong was a little dazed while being pushed out.
"Fetal phase? Fetus?"
General Chu slapped him again.
"Silly son, you are going to be a father."
When Chu Wenzhong heard the word "becoming a father", he finally reacted. Is his daughter-in-law happy? He is going to be a father?
Chu Wenzhong smiled at General Chu and Mrs. Chu, then ran away.
Halfway through the run, he met Princess Guo who had also rushed over after receiving the news that he was returning home.
Princess Guo cried with joy when she finally saw a living person.
"You, where have you gone!"
Chu Wenzhong stepped forward, picked her up, and kissed her hard twice on the face.
Princess Guo was originally crying, but his actions made her dumbfounded. She lightly beat Chu Wenzhong on the chest.
"Put me down quickly. What will it look like?"
Chu Wenzhong refused to listen and carried her directly back to his yard.
"Whatever you want to eat or drink, just tell me. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you!"
Princess Guo heard what he said and immediately understood that Chu Wenzhong must have known about her happiness.
As long as her husband can stay with her well, she has nothing else to ask for, but she still wants to tease Chu Wenzhong.
"Then husband, please pick a star for me and have a look."
Chu Wenzhong apologized and smiled:
"Hoho, hoho, madam, how about we start with something simpler?"
Princess Guo laughed.
"Then I want to eat preserved fruits. I heard that the Queen's place has the best preserved fruits. Go and get some for me."
She didn't really want to ask for preserved fruit. She was just thinking about Chu Yunxi in the palace. She must have been extremely worried these days. Let Chu Wenzhong show up so that Chu Yunxi could feel at ease.
"Okay, then I'll go right away."
Chu Wenzhong was very happy and put Princess Guo on the Arhat couch. He was praising Haikou for picking up stars. Naturally, this trivial matter was not a big deal.
"My wife is waiting for me at home. I will come back as soon as I go."
"Go quickly." Princess Guo smiled and waved her hand.
Chu Wenzhong's late return for the past few days has become a hot topic. Everyone in the Chu family is looking forward to seeing him to make sure that he is safe and sound.
In the palace, Chu Yunxi had already received the news from Jun Lingyun. Knowing that her eldest brother was fine, she suddenly felt empty in her stomach.
"Husband, I'm hungry."
It was not yet dinner time, so she was a little embarrassed and her voice was soft.
Jun Lingyun was overjoyed. Xi'er hadn't eaten well in the past few days. God knows how worried he was.
"Come, go to Chunhui Tower and bring back the latest dishes."
Chunhuilou's craftsmanship is no worse than that of the imperial dining room. I haven't eaten for a few days, so I want to give Xi'er a change of taste.
"My husband is so kind."
Chu Yunxi leaned into his arms and nuzzled. Ever since she had a child, she seemed to have discovered a new world.
You can touch and hug me unscrupulously, but if you don’t use it, you will pay it back. Ahem.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi's face turned slightly red, but fortunately no one saw it.
Jun Lingyun's throat rolled due to her rubbing, and her breath was slightly confused.
No matter what delicacy it is, it’s good when you haven’t tasted it. Once you’ve tasted it, you want to eat it a second time, a third time…
If he can't eat, he will feel itchy and unbearable, just like he is in this miserable state now.
But he had to devote his life to let his wife rely on him, which really strengthened his concentration.
Before Chu Yunxi could wait for too long, Eunuch Fu came in and turned sideways to report.
"Your Majesty, Queen, the meal is ready."
Chu Yunxi raised her head, smiled happily at Jun Lingyun, got up from his arms, and looked at the table full of fragrant food.
Jun Lingyun looked at her cheerful little face and could only swallow hard and adjust her breathing secretly.
Although he wasn't hungry, he took some with Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi finished a bowl of rice and had to refill it.
For someone who usually couldn't afford a bowl of rice, Jun Lingyun was really afraid that she would overeat.
"Xier, why don't you eat later?"
Chu Yunxi's innocent face.
"But I'm not full yet."
Jun Lingyun only felt that Chu Yunxi really knew more and more how to control him.
Seeing her aggrieved and dissatisfied look, even if Xi'er wanted to eat him, he would be willing to do so. Jun Lingyun had no choice but to change her words:
"Eat more food."
Only then did Chu Yunxi reveal her two small dimples, and it took two full bowls of rice before she was willing to give up.
Jun Lingyun looked on and was shocked. It turned out that one person was eating for two people.
"Xi'er, I'll walk with you to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, and General Chu would like to see you."
Chu Yunxi was overjoyed.
"Husband, after meeting my eldest brother, it's not too late to go eat."
"Then please invite Brother Chu to eat together."
Jun Lingyun said, holding Chu Yunxi's hand domineeringly, and the two of them walked out of the palace door together.
Chu Yunxi smiled happily when she saw the intact Chu Wenzhong.
"Brother, you are finally back."
Jun Lingyun, on the other hand, has an iceberg face.
"The humble minister pays homage to the Emperor, the Queen."
When Chu Wenzhong smiled and saluted, Jun Lingyun had already pulled Chu Yunxi past him.
Fortunately, the speed was not very fast. Chu Wenzhong quickly took two steps to keep up, feeling confused.
Why does he feel that his brother-in-law is not willing to pay attention to him?
Chu Yunxi also looked at Jun Lingyun's face, and with a flash of her mind, she roughly understood the reason for Jun Lingyun's cold face. She lowered her head and smiled, and followed Jun Lingyun slowly.
It's just that Chu Wenzhong didn't understand it for a while.
"Your Majesty, I have been delayed for some time in returning to Beijing this time. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
He tried to make a sound.
"Brother Chu, do you know where I went wrong?"
Jun Lingyun made a soft sound.
Chu Wenzhong said sincerely, isn't there something wrong with what he just said? Then, his brother-in-law must want to ask him what went wrong.
"Back to the Emperor, I should not easily enter an unfamiliar place without checking."
Jun Lingyun asked: "What else?"
Also? Chu Wenzhong racked his brains and thought carefully. It seems that he didn't make any other mistakes.
