The carriage of the Maoguo Mansion was at the front of the convoy, and Chu Zhan, Chu Yang, and Chu Yuan wore thick big fur collar cloaks and warm hats, leading the guards to escort around the convoy, and they saw the oncoming Chu Junlan from a distance.

"Mother, it's Sister Lan and brother-in-law!" Chu Zhan hurriedly approached Xu's carriage and returned with a smile.

Xu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out, the cold wind blew into the carriage through the gap in the curtain, and it was so cold that Chu Hua's neck had a layer of goosebumps, but he didn't care, and took the cloak and put it on Xu.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We've arrived right now, and it's not too much time to spare. ”

Xu Shi gathered the fur collar cloak on his shoulders, but his eyes were moist when he turned around: "Master, I heard you talk about Huaijing before, I was really scared, Sister Lan'er is a girl's family, and she has this kind of thing, if she doesn't have real skills, I'm afraid that we won't have a chance to see her again this time." ”

Chu Hua sighed, nodded and said, "What you said is true." Fortunately, the problems have been solved now, and we will also be in Huaijing in the future, closer to the girl, and take care of more. ”

Xu nodded: "That's all." Let's go out later, and see that Prince Gong's son is still the same as before, and we can't let the girl be in a dilemma. ”

"Of course, I know that you are also looking at me too recklessly." Chu Hua chuckled.

While speaking, the procession was already close to Chu Junlan's side, and in order not to delay the march of the others, Chu Hua and Xu ordered Chu Zhan to drive the carriage out of the column.

Chu Junlan had been helped by Xiao Xu to come closer at this time, and saluted with a smile: "Brother Zhan is here, has he been good in recent days?" ”

Chu Zhan couldn't help laughing: "I'm naturally good at everything." ”

"What about Ruohan?" Chu Junlan asked with a smile.

Chu Zhan said, "Ruohan is accompanying her grandmother behind." ”

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, Xu pretended to be angry and said: "This girl only knows how to ask Ruohan, and she doesn't know how to care about us." ”

Chu Junlan couldn't help laughing, and saluted both Xu and Chu Hua: "Father and mother have worked hard all the way. ”

"It's not hard, we follow the team, it's safe, and we all take it as if we're enjoying the scenery. It's you ......" Xu Shi took Chu Junlan's hand and looked it up and down, and saw that she seemed to be unharmed before he breathed.

"You've lost too much weight these days, we already know about the things in the Huai'an Palace, and your life is at stake, so it's no wonder you've worked so hard."

Chu Junlan smiled, leaned over to Xu's side a little shyly and said, "That incident is okay, although it was thrilling, it didn't hurt me half a point in the end, I just haven't eaten well in recent days, so I've lost some weight." ”

"Can't eat well?" Xu was stunned for a moment, how could she not eat well with the princess of the palace, and then looked at Chu Junlan's skin that was more smooth as jade than before and her shy appearance, Xu had a flash of inspiration: "Child, don't you have good news?" ”

Chu Junlan smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Oh, that's great news!" Xu Shi was overjoyed, took Chu Junlan's hand and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable with you now?" You still have to pay more attention in the first few months and get more rest. Let's not stand on the snow, it's cold, let's go back to the car. ”

Chu Junlan nodded naturally and got into the Xu family's carriage with a smile.

Chu Hua and the others naturally heard Chu Junlan's words, and they were also very happy, and the family went to the Maoguo Mansion lively.

Because of the early preparations, the furniture in the house has been prepared in advance, although the structure of the house is different, but most of the various courtyards still use the original name.

A group of people sat down in the front hall, and Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu went to meet the Duke of Mao Guo and the Duchess of Mao Guo.

Duke Mao Guo had a kind face, but he was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Hua, and he treated his children and grandchildren except Chu Hua very kindly, and the Duchess of Mao Guo had long been accustomed to this meeting, so she left the men to chat outside, and went to the warm pavilion with the female dependents.

"Sister Lan is very dizzy now, but if you want to take care of your body, you can't take risks like before." Thinking of the news she learned about the rebellion of the prince of Huai'an, the old lady still had palpitations.

The children and dependents of the family also looked shocked, and they all warned Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan said with a smile: "At that time, there was no way, when you were fighting for your life, where could you relax." But now it's fine. I can lie down and never sit now, just stretch out my clothes and open my mouth. ”

Lu Ruohan nodded and said seriously: "If only you could do what you said." I'm afraid that if you take advantage of the world to go out, you will be at home alone, and your servant will not be able to stop you. ”

Chu Junlan said funny: "It's as if I can go to the room at any time to uncover the tiles." ”

The family laughed when they heard this, and Lu Ruohan also laughed and trembled.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but quip: "My sister-in-law is now a relative, and she is also the right person to speak, I am in a hurry to say this, and in the future, when my sister-in-law is pregnant, I will also nag you." ”

Lu Ruohan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stomped her feet and said, "This girl is very bad-hearted, I care about you with good intentions, but you make fun of me." ”

The whole family laughed again.

Just as the ladies were smiling, a small servant came in from outside the door and entered the front hall of the children's party, and said with a smile: "Returning to China, a master in the palace came outside, and he came to deliver news for Prince Gong's son." ”

"Oh? Please. "Mao Guogong is cautious, never neglects the people in front of the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly gets up to welcome him out.

Xiao Xu also followed Zhongren to the front yard.

It was Zhao Lu beside Emperor Jinghong who came to pass the word, and when he saw that everyone was busy saluting respectfully: "Oh, the slave is disturbing the grandfather of the country." ”

"Where is it, it's too late for Grandpa Zhao to come to the old man to rejoice, I don't know what Grandpa Zhao has to order?"

"Exactly, the emperor has a word to order Prince Gong's son," Zhao Lu looked at Xiao Xu with a smile, and did not let everyone avoid it, so he said: "The emperor has ordered, today is a Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, please bring the prince and concubine to participate in the evening." ”

Xiao Xu saluted in the direction of the newly built palace, said long live, and then said: "Thank you, father-in-law, please inform the emperor's uncle, I will arrive on time." ”

Zhao Lu smiled and nodded.

Xiao Xu asked again: "I wonder who else the emperor's uncle invited?" ”

Zhao Lu often walked beside Emperor Jinghong, and naturally knew that Emperor Jinghong treated Xiao Xu differently, and there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so he replied generously: "The emperor only invited Prince Gong's Mansion and the Cai family, and the nobles, clan relatives, and ministers who arrived one after another from other families were not invited. ”

Xiao Xu's eyes narrowed, and he gave Zhao Lu a big red seal. Zhao Lu took it with a generous smile, and thanked him before returning to the palace.

Chu Hua said: "The emperor only invited the Cai family and Prince Gong's mansion, and the virtuous son-in-law should also think about it......"

Before he finished speaking, Mao Guogong coughed heavily and scolded: "Your hand is long!" ”
