King Gaomi was also full of wives and concubines in the past, but since the third son "died" fifteen years ago, and the side concubine and others were infected with the "epidemic" and died overnight, the huge palace has since left the couple and the remaining two sons and two daughters.

When Sheng Sleeping Crane was personally led to the hall by King Gaomi, Princess Gaomi and the family of Prince Rong Qingchu were waiting here first. Although the county lord of Qingfang, who has been out of the cabinet, is not there, the second son Rong Qingdrunk and the unmarried county lord Huihe, but they are also nowhere to be seen.

However, none of the people present mentioned the meaning of those people, and the princess, who was looking forward to it, saw Sheng Sleeping Crane enter the door, and excitedly got up to greet her: "You'er, you're back!"

Princess Gaomi obviously dressed up to welcome her youngest son who had been reunited after a long absence: wearing a green background woven gold makeup and a peacock robe, a pleated skirt with jujube red fish and algae patterns, a pleated skirt with five grains and a harvest, a belt with a flower phoenix and a broad jade girl; A pair of gourd inlaid hollow money pattern white jade red gold earrings on the ear; a mutton fat jade Ruyi cloud pattern peace bracelet and a golden phoenix with a row of gold stacked coral beads on the wrist; a gold folded silk treasure cover pavilion pendant collar on the chest; a jade inlaid gold treasure exquisite heron silk silk ring hangs on the skirt...... Although this body is not as complicated as the ceremony, it is also very grand.

With her long-term illness, she is usually afraid that she will not even insert more emerald hairpins, and she is so solemn at this moment, which shows the importance of Sheng Sleeping Crane.

The couple next to him also had slightly red eyes, stood up behind the princess, and sighed: "Third brother, you can come back, God bless me Gaomi Palace! Over the years, the mother has washed her face with tears almost every day for you. If you come back later, you won't know ...... concubine."

"The princess has worked hard. However, Sheng Sleeping Crane's face was not shocked, and he said plainly, not only Princess Gaomi was stunned, but Rong Qingchu was also stunned, and said, "Third brother, why are you still calling the princess?"

"The child told me on the way that the Sheng family has been very good to him over the years, and he has no memory of the past, so even if he sees the results of blood recognition with his own eyes, he is still very strange to us. At this time, King Gaomi came up and explained, "I can't call 'father' and 'mother' for the time being, so let's bear with me." ”

He was a little helpless on his face, if Sheng Sleeping Crane only said that he couldn't shout "father", he would admit it, in the end they had been separated for fifteen years, and it was no wonder that the father and son were like passers-by;

After all, Princess Gaomi has been thinking about her son all these years, and even her political opponent Zheng Guogong was moved by it, how could she not feel it at all as a sleeping crane who was missed?

But the sister-in-law who just got back is still the knot in the princess's heart that has been pregnant for fifteen years, and King Gaomi didn't dare to say anything serious, so he had to round the field for him, "Fortunately, the child has come back, and the future is long, so we don't have to rush for a while, right?"

Although Princess Gaomi was disappointed, she was even more reluctant to say that Sheng Sleeping Crane was not good, and nodded again and again when she heard this: "These are all small things, as long as you are good, it is more important than anything else!"

While speaking, she personally went to take Sheng Sleeping Crane's arm and wanted to take him over to sit down, but who knew that Sheng Sleeping Crane seemed to take a step to the side unintentionally, which just made her empty!

The attention of the hall was focused on the sleeping crane, and everyone naturally saw this scene.

Although the wife of the prince Qi frowned slightly, she felt that the little uncle who had just come back was a little pampered, how to say that she was also the mother of the body, how could she not see her for more than ten years, and she felt strange, as for showing estrangement everywhere?

But King Gaomi and Prince Rong Qingchu both changed their faces, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were deeply shocked and helpless......

"Hui'er?" What the father and son thought of, Princess Gaomi also thought of, and subconsciously called, the outstretched hand froze in the air, and despair gradually rose between her eyebrows, "Don't you have no ......?"

"Princess, the younger generation has been away for many years, and she has become accustomed to her current name. Sheng Sleeping Crane turned his head and said calmly, "So the 'pay'er' you shouted, please forgive the juniors for not being able to match themselves, after all, for the juniors, this name is like another person, and it has nothing to do with the juniors!"

"Besides, the younger generation doesn't know how you found out that I am the bloodline of the prince and the princess. ”

"It's just that now the Gaomi Royal Mansion is reunited, but I don't know if the Sheng family, who has regarded the younger generations as their own, has the mood and opportunity to reunite over the years?!"

His eyes were cold, and he didn't hide his displeasure, "After all, Zheng Guogong's anger may not be anything to the Gaomi Palace, but to the Sheng family in a corner of Nanfeng County...... But it's enough to make the whole family tremble, isn't it?!"

Although Sheng Sleeping Crane's words were very polite, the Gaomi royal couple and Rong Qingchu were relieved!

"He'er, you don't have to worry about the Sheng family!" the princess immediately said, "They raised you as their own child, that is, the reborn parents of the concubine!

When she spoke, her eyes looked at King Gaomi like a knife, and King Gaomi hurriedly said: "Yes, my father has already made arrangements for this matter, and later our father and son will go to the study and talk slowly, and my father promises to protect the Sheng family!"

The couple had a good time to appease, and Sheng Sleeping Crane's face eased up, and at this time, the princess and wife Qi Shi looked at the opportunity and said, "Father, mother, let the third brother sit down and drink saliva before talking?"

"Look at my foolishness!" Princess Gaomi patted her head when she heard this, and sighed, "I haven't even let the child sit down until now!"

This time, she went to grab Sheng Sleeping Crane's arm again, and although Sheng Sleeping Crane frowned, she didn't let go of the way.

Seeing this, King Gaomi and Rong Qingchu were a little relieved.

After taking a seat, the princess and Sheng Shenghe introduced Rong Qingchu and his wife: "This is your eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

Because Sheng Shenghe said that he didn't remember what happened before he was five years old, the princess said in detail, "Your brothers all start from the word 'Qing', your eldest brother is called Rong Qingchu, the word Youyi, nine years older than you, he married your sister-in-law at the age of sixteen, and your sister-in-law is the daughter of Qi Jianxun, the secretary of the military department, one year younger than your eldest brother." ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane got up and saw his brother and sister-in-law, but he had something to say in front of him, and at this time he only called "Shizi" and "Shizi's wife".

The prince Rong Qing looks like the king of Gaomi, the father and son are simply cast in a mold, at this moment wearing a big red bead group to the deer brocade clothes, a pine bullfighting broad jade belt, a golden crown covered with a top gauze head, a jade wrench, a white waist hanging waist, looking handsome and angzang.

It's just that his bearing is far less graceful than King Gaomi's, but a little dull, so although he is much younger than King Gaomi, when he stands together, he is reduced to a foil, and he is not brilliant.

He welcomed the return of Sheng Sleeping Crane, looking at his brother who had not seen him for more than ten years, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.

The princess Qi is twenty-eight years old, and she should be very beautiful when she looks at the silhouette and is a girl. However, Xu is because of the shape of her body after giving birth, she is very fat at this time, and there are three or four chins in her head, even if this figure is decorated with gorgeous clothes, it is difficult to say that she looks good.

In particular, the dynasty does not advocate fat as beauty.

It seems that Qi also understands this, and the maids around him are all plain and lackluster, and they are all very plain in dress.

At this time, looking at Sheng Sleeping Crane, he said a few words with a smile, and saw that Sheng Sleeping Crane only listened and did not answer, a little embarrassed, and asked someone to take the meeting gift, which was a set of good study four treasures, and personally handed it to Sheng Sleeping Crane: "This set of objects has been available to our couple for some years, but we have not found someone worthy of use, but the third brother is happy to come back, and such a thing is not a waste for the third brother." ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane thanked him lightly, and after sitting back, Princess Gaomi reminded her grandchildren: "Why don't you go and see your third uncle?"

Behind Rong Qingchu and his wife stood a man, three girls and four children, the boy was the youngest, looking only five or six years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Qi's; the eldest of the three girls was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the remaining two looked the same, but they were a pair of twin sisters of seven or eight years old, with long curved eyebrows and apricot eyes, snow skin and jade face, beautiful and lovely.

Hearing the words at this moment, he came over to give Sheng Sleeping Crane a tea salute according to the eldest and youngest, and reported his name: the eldest is Junrong Yaoxin of Jian'an County, who is thirteen this year; the twin sisters are Junrong Youxin of Guangchang County and Junrong Yixin of Yunyang County, both of whom are eight years old, and the youngest boy is two years younger than the sister Hua, called Rong Lingzhan.

Qi added from the side: "There are two younger brothers under Lingzhan, one is four years old and the other is three years old, they are called Lingqi and Lingsui respectively. Two days ago, my mother-in-law went to stay in Zhuangzi, a hot spring outside the city, and took them with her. Because the Zhuangzi is a long way away from Chang'an, he doesn't have time to call back today, so he can only turn around and make up for the third brother. ”

"It's okay. Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at these nephews and nieces, his attitude was obviously a lot gentler, and after calling them one by one, he took the meeting gift that had been prepared long ago from the accompanying Gongsun Xi, and gave Rong Lingzhen two copies of Rong Lingsui and Rong Lingsui to Rong Yaoxin, and asked her to turn around and hand it over to her two younger brothers, and touched Rong Lingzhan's head again, and asked, "Is this child enlightened?"

"Lingzhan was born in the middle of the year, this child is small and weak, and we want to wait for his birthday to be enlightened. Rong Qing hurriedly said, "If you can't study for your brother, when the time comes, you will have to ask the third brother to help you palm your eyes." ”

Qi Shi saw that his in-laws were very interested in the little uncle who had just come back, and said deliberately: "Speaking of which, Lingzhan has been showing off to others for a long time yesterday, and he has a champion uncle! ”

Although this is deliberately flattering, but it is also Qi's sincere words, although this little uncle seems to be very estranged from the palace, but from the poor countryside of Nanfeng County, he won the crown of the champion of today's department, diligence is definitely diligence, but he is more qualified. Of course, mothers want their children to be smart and smart.

"The children of the clan of the national dynasty are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and my champion exam is also in vain. However, when Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "This kid is going to attack the lord left and right, and what I learned before may not be useful to him, so it is more appropriate to consult the prince." ”

Rong Qingchu and his wife were suddenly embarrassed, but the princess of Gaomi immediately glared at them fiercely, obviously blaming them for not opening which pot to mention, although the identity of the princess of Gaomi is very noble, but the champion who has worked hard for more than ten years to pass the exam, because a background is about to be lost, can Sheng Sleeping Crane be happy?

Princess Gaomi secretly scolded her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law for being uninteresting, turned her head to Sheng Sleeping Crane, and immediately changed her gentle and loving face, and said in an almost cautious tone: "Crane, in this matter, we as parents will definitely fight for justice for you, and we will definitely not let your years of hard work go to waste!"

As he spoke, he glared at King Gaomi, and signaled him to hurry up and express his position, King Gaomi was about to speak, but someone from outside came in with a worried expression and said: "Lord Wang, princess: The lord of the county has brought someone here." ”

King Gaomi didn't think much about it when he heard this, and said, "Reward...... He'er has finally found it back, Ling Xue, who is a sister, should come over to meet her quickly, and tell her to come in!"

But the man hesitated and said, "Lord Wang, the lord of the great county ......"

Before he finished speaking, the county lord of Qingfang, who was listening to the movement with his ears pricked up outside, had already walked in first and scolded him: "Father said that we should meet our brothers and sisters, what are you doing here?"

As soon as she came in, King Gaomi and his wife didn't say anything, King Gaomi also said with a smile: "Qingfang, you are well-informed, He'er just came back, and you rushed over!"

Who knows, after the county lord of Qingfang crossed the threshold, he revealed two people behind him, one tall and one short, with tall eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a little bit of a sleeping crane between the eyebrows, it was the princess of the palace, the female Hui and the county lord, the short one sat in a wheelchair, wearing a hat to cover his face, and his exposed hands were also wrapped in white cloth, this look of serious injury that had not healed, combined with his appearance at the moment, must be the second son of the prince's concubine, Rong Qing, was drunk.

I don't know why, after seeing the appearance of this pair of children, King Gaomi, who was originally smiling, and the princess, who was trying to make the sleeping crane happy, sank their faces at the same time!

Even the prince Rong Qingyu frowned slightly, and looked at the county lord of Qingfang with disapproval.

Feeling the instantly depressed atmosphere in the hall, the smile that the county lord of Qingfang had just piled up was also a little stiff, and he stood in place before he smiled: "Father, mother, and eldest brother and third brother, I thought, since it is the day when the third brother comes back, we should have a family reunion! ”

King Gaomi looked at his eldest daughter expressionlessly, and said lightly: "It's hard for you to worry about so many things when you leave the pavilion, have your husband's in-laws and sons-in-law served well?"

"......" The princess looked at her coldly for a while, then suddenly picked up the tea bowl in front of her, raised her hand and smashed it on her, and spit out the words, "Get out of !!"

The county lord of Qingfang originally came after dressing up carefully, but at this time he was drenched by the tea, and a lot of tea foam was still stained on his cheeks, and the tea and fat powder dripped off his clothes, and he looked embarrassed. She had a dilemma on her face, wringing her hands and opening her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to do.

And the drunken face of Rong Qingdrunk behind her was hidden in the hat and could not see the expression clearly, but from the hand he clenched instantly, it could be seen that his heart was excited, and the county lord of Huihe directly had red eyes, as if asking for help and begging for mercy, looking at the sleeping crane not far away.

But Sheng Sleeping Crane just looked at her indifferently, and his eyes were full of indifference.

Rong Qingchu and his wife glanced at each other, embarrassed and helpless, but as the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, they had to stand up and round the scene: "Father, queen and mother, please calm their anger!

"Are they all the biological blood of the two?" Rong Qing's words fell, and Sheng Sleeping Crane, who originally had a look of indifference, suddenly turned to the Gaomi royal couple and said lightly, "Then why can't you stay to see the ceremony?"
