Zhou Ming returned to the palace, King Cheng and his wife were waiting at home, King Cheng was sitting and drinking tea, and the princess had already gotten up several times to look at the door of the hall.

Finally, the subordinates outside shouted, "The prince is back, the prince is back."

The princess He got up with joy and commanded, "Where are the people?" Hurry up, quickly bring up the dim sum, don't be sweet, Zixian doesn't like to eat it." By the way, there is also ginseng soup, bring a bowl in, by the way, carry the soft sedan chair out......"

Chengwang Zhou Dingkang couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted, "He has his own legs, can't he walk this way?"

He had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his stomach, and reluctantly sat down and waited for Zhou Ming to come in.

Zhou Ming strode into the door and threw the horsewhip to the servant waiting by the door, and Luo Ping followed closely behind him.

Luo An was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Zhou Ming, he hurriedly squeezed Luo Ping away and stepped forward to serve.

Zhou Ming glanced at him inquiringly, Luo An met the look, immediately stopped, quietly retreated, and retreated again. It's like a puppy that is about to please its owner, and suddenly hangs its tail and walks away.

Zhou Ming looked at his expression and wanted to sigh in disappointment.

At this time, the maid who was waiting beside the princess had already greeted her, and Zhou Ming had to go to ask for peace first.

King Cheng said about the princess in his mouth, and he was also worried in his heart, his eyes looked straight out of the door, and when he saw Zhou Ming striding in, his eyes slipped around him. Only then did he retract his gaze and take a sip of the tea on the side.

He Shi's eyes were wrong as he watched his son walk in, and the closer he looked, the more distressed he became.

Zhou Ming walked into the house, knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, and just after kowtowing three heads, the princess had already shouted, "It's so dark, and I've lost weight, so Shuzhong is really not a place for people." I've heard that there are miasma snakes everywhere, and you're used to the Northland, and you're really suffering. ”

As he spoke, He had already grabbed Zhou Ming's arm and pulled it to his side to look at it carefully, and his hand touched his arm as if he wanted to find out how many catties of meat Zhou Ming was missing.

Zhou Ming uncomfortably turned his head slightly and looked at King Cheng for help.

King Cheng coughed, "Okay, how many people have lived in Shu for generations, according to what you say, no one will live." Zixian has just come back, you can let him sit down and talk. ”

He said to sit down quickly, and asked people to take the cushion, but he thought that the cushion was not soft enough. Zhou Ming reluctantly found a chair and sat down, "Mother, don't be busy, I have to go to the barracks in a while, and I have to go to the palace later." ”

He didn't hear him at all, he ordered people to bring food and drink, and in the blink of an eye, the table around Zhou Ming was already full of dim sum and food, as well as ginseng soup, white fungus soup, and bird's nest soup.

"Mother, how can I eat so much?"

"You can choose a few things to eat. Princess Cheng looked at it lovingly, where Zhou Ming's hand was extended, she hurried to see what the taste of the plate of dim sum was, she was afraid that her son had not been at home for two years, and the taste had changed.

Zhou Ming ate two pieces of dim sum and drank the white fungus soup.

Princess Cheng originally wanted Zhang Luo to change a batch of food, but King Cheng had to stop her again, "There is a banquet in the palace at night, and he doesn't have to eat too much." ”

"The celebration banquet in the palace is all drinking, and you have to cushion your stomach, how to drink on an empty stomach. Princess Cheng remembered that Zhou Ming was going to drink wine in the evening, and asked people to prepare some porridge.

King Cheng's father and son looked at each other helplessly and stopped talking.

The father and son are in the barracks all year round and have very few days at home. Every time she goes home, Princess Cheng is prepared in various ways.

After King Cheng was injured in the north, he stayed in the capital to recuperate, and he got along with the princess in the past two years, which was more than the days since he became a family combined. After getting along more, he couldn't help but feel even more guilty about his wife.

As the mistress of Chengwang's mansion, the man is not at home all the year round, and the princess has to take care of it inside and out, which is more difficult than ordinary housewives. He couldn't bear to let the princess work empty, and seeing Zhou Ming's face resisting, he had to give in with a look.

Zhou Ming patiently talked to the princess for a while, and King Cheng stood up, "You come with me to the study." "That's what it means to talk about business.

He couldn't stop him no matter how reluctant he was, thinking that Zhou Ming was going to enter the palace for a banquet later, and he was worried about what clothes Zhou Ming would wear at night.

Zhou Dingkang took his son to the study, and saw that his son was taller than himself, tall, and his expression was much calmer than back then, and a sense of pride rose faintly in his heart.

This is his eldest son!

Today, he is also a young general praised by Yongding.

Zhou Dingkang also has two concubines, but the rules in King Cheng's mansion are very strict, and Zhou Ming is really good, King Cheng has been teaching by his side since he was a child, and his feelings are naturally different.

After the father and son sat down, King Cheng sighed, "I didn't expect Shuzhong to quell the rebellion, and it has been nearly two years in a flash." He looked at his son, "You are twenty years old, and your second and third brothers are already married." The two of them can be even, and you are the only one in the family. ”

When Zhou Ming heard this, he straightened his back slightly, a little nervous. Why don't you talk about the politics of the DPRK and China, but talk about your own age?

He has always wanted to talk to his parents about asking for marriage from the Yan family, but the marriages of the king's mansion in the past dynasties have been chosen, and they all choose the family members, I don't know if their parents will make it difficult for Xiuxiu.

"Many people have mentioned your family affairs to my father. Zhou Dingkang changed his words, and then said, "Some time ago, Duchess Wenguo told your mother that she wanted to protect the media, and she was talking about the niece of the Liu family in Jingwangfu, but your mother refused. ”

"Wen Guogong?" Zhou Ming frowned slightly, since Wang Danyang's incident, he was a little dissatisfied with the Wen family's instincts.

"In last year's draft, the saint originally wanted Xie Hualou of the Xie family to enter the palace, but Xie Hualou had a bad illness and has not yet recovered. Although the saint did not get angry and condemned the crime, he was a little dissatisfied with the Xie family. It was the Wen family who actually recommended several talented and beautiful women to enter the palace. Now in the palace, the queen is in the palace, and it is a little difficult. ”

"When the Queen Mother met with the wife several times, she praised Princess Jing for teaching her son well, and the second son was a rare talent. ”

King Cheng slowly talked about the situation in the court, although the Zhou family did not get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, but how could they really not care about the affairs of the court.

"Father, isn't that cousin's life difficult?" Zhou Ming was worried about Li Chengyun's situation.

Zhou Dingkang glanced at him reproachfully, "You have the talent to fight, but I have told you many times that you can't be rash in the political affairs of the DPRK and China. In the past two years in Shuzhong, your temperament has been more stable than before, but you are still not calm enough. Your eldest cousin has a very good reputation in the government and the opposition, and life is not difficult. Since he intends to fight, he naturally knows all these things. ”

King Cheng was afraid that Zhou Ming would care about brotherhood, so he openly stood in line under impulse, which violated the foundation of King Cheng's mansion.

Zhou Ming didn't think so, but respectfully agreed.

"You're twenty now, and it's time for your family to settle down. I discussed with your mother, and I will invite a few ladies to come to the house, pick one, and settle your family affairs as soon as possible. ”

"Father, which ones are you going to choose?"

"Your mother and I haven't agreed yet, so I'll tell you about the ones we like in two days. Marrying a wife is a big deal, and you have to be willing to do it. ”
