Mao Guogong's words cooled down the originally warm atmosphere.

Chu Hua's face immediately darkened, he was beaten like this by his father in front of his uncle, how could he stand up for himself in the future? But Chu Hua couldn't confront his father in front of him, so he could only sulk in silence.

Xiao Xu stood up and saluted: "Grandfather, don't be angry, my father-in-law is also for my good." ”

Mao Guogong smiled and said: "The prince of the world is not surprised. ”

One affectionately calls his grandfather, and the other calls his son, such a clear attitude makes the rest of the people's faces not look good.

The third master stood up and played a round game: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

"Yes, it's Chinese New Year's Eve just today, I don't think it's time to do anything." Chu Yang also said with a smile.

Xiao Xu's expression did not change at all, and said with a smile: "Sister Lan has already ordered people to prepare everything in advance, and originally wanted to stay for a while, but it happened that the emperor ordered to enter the palace, so it is not good for us to stay longer." ”

Chu Junlan came out of the inner room at this time, and when she heard Xiao Xu's words, she was a little surprised in her heart, she could see that Xiao Xu seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and she didn't ask in person, but only smiled: "Yes, there is still a mess to be busy." When I'm done with this, I'll come back and bother. ”

"What bother, I'm happy if you come back and stay and don't leave." Xu took Chu Junlan's hand and smiled.

Chu Junlan stood with Xiao Xu, saluted with the Duke of Maoguo, the Duchess of Maoguo, Chu Hua and other elders again, and said goodbye together.

When Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu left together, Chu Hua, who had suppressed his anger for a long time, finally couldn't help but be angry: "What does Father mean by this, he is so dignified, why do you want to talk like this?" ”

"I just want to ask you what you mean," Mao Guogong sneered, "Who do you think you are, what is the identity of Prince Gong's son, and what is the relationship between Prince Gong and the emperor?" You are an outsider and want to give advice to others, what position do you take to wade into troubled waters? ”

Seeing that the two of Su Li were arguing with Mai Mang, the Duchess of Maoguo hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "The old man is angry, the New Year's Day, what is this ......?"

"Do what?" Mao Guogong had a calm face, "The lessons of the King of Huai'an are in front of you, how did the Huai'an Palace?" ”

The faces of the whole family became solemn.

Seeing that the Duke of Mao Guo was talking about serious business, the Duchess of Mao Guo hurriedly beckoned to the ladies and took them to the back.

Only the male of the Chu family was left in the house, and Mao Guogong said: "Have you forgotten the Di newspaper that you were asked to see before?" Huai'an Wangfu is obviously being used, who is behind all this? They got in the way, and in the end it ended up like that, and now it's too late for us to avoid trouble, where are you taking the initiative to find trouble? ”

Although Mao Guogong's words were subtle, the children of the Chu family understood a little bit in their hearts. A huge county palace can be said to fall in the end, not to mention that they are just a public mansion?

Chu Hua frowned: "Prince Gong's son has always acted in a measured manner, and he is definitely not the kind of person who acts recklessly, and he will not chew his tongue in front of the saint, what my father said is certainly reasonable, but if you do that, it is too cold." ”

"Cool? Who is he? No matter what he does, the emperor will not really blame, what kind of heart do you have? Besides, even if the emperor is really to blame, what does he have to do with us? ”

"Father, that's Sister Lan's husband, it's our family's ......"

"I think you're confused! Chu Junlan is just an adopted daughter, do you really think of yourself as your own daughter? You won't be afraid that in the end, she will cause trouble for our family! ”

There was silence in the room again, and everyone was silent.

Although Mao Guogong's words are cold, but in the end he is telling the truth, if there is trouble, it is natural to ensure the safety of his own family.

Chu Hua finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I don't dare to agree with what my father said, Sister Lan is my daughter, Prince Gong is my son-in-law, I treat them as a family, and they also treat me as relatives, what can't I say between relatives?" With such a thought, my father really pushed people farther and farther! ”

"You! I think you're trying to me off! Mao Guogong roared, pointing at Chu Hua's fingers and trembling, "You have stiff wings now, so you won't listen to me!" ”

Seeing that Mao Guogong rushed up to beat someone, Chu Feng and Chu Shan hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and the whole family pleaded with each other.

At this time, Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu sat in the carriage and slowly went to Prince Gong's mansion, Chu Junlan asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Fang Cai?" Why did I see that as soon as I came out, I saw that you and Mao Guogong's faces were not quite right?

Xiao Xu kissed her forehead, held her in his arms, and said slowly: "Not much, it's just that the emperor invited us into the palace to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, and we have to go back in advance to prepare, and my father-in-law can't bear it." ”

"Really?" Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Xu smiled: "Naturally, it's true. ”

Chu Junlan saw that he was serious, and he really couldn't think of anything unpleasant about the Maoguo Mansion, so he didn't ask.

When I returned to Prince Gong's mansion, Linlang Garden prepared the clothes to be worn in the palace.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, Emperor Jinghong only invited the Cai family and Prince Gong's family, such a special treatment, it makes people feel worried, except for the concubines, the entire royal mansion is busy making big makeup.

Chu Junlan changed into a red gown, his long hair was pulled up and he took off a fairy bun, wore a golden silk phoenix feather heart, and brought a white-haired rabbit inlaid with rubies, and a light and warm white fox fur on his body, dressed noble and festive.

Xiao Xu is still the same clothes that he walks in every day, but Chu Junlan personally combed his hair.

Chu Junlan said: "Now that you are in Huaijing, you naturally don't have to go to the prince's army on an errand, I still think you can be more relaxed, who would have thought that the emperor is always looking for you to accompany you now, but it is more time than accompanying me." ”

Xiao Xu smiled: "It sounds like you're jealous." ”

Chu Junlan snorted: "It's not enough to be jealous." "She's not a clingy person, but lately she always likes to update Xiao Xu together, and she feels relieved when she sees him.

It's just that the man's family is busy with his career outside, and she can't always let people accompany her.

Zi Yan and Zi Yuan had already gone outside at this time to order someone to prepare a carriage, and Princess Zhang, Princess Cai, the prince in the mansion, and Qianjinmen had also dressed up and prepared, and were heading outside the mansion to take the carriage.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu held hands and walked to the door, and saw that Princess Cai was also wearing a red waist pinching gown and an embroidered gold cloak with a fire fox fur collar. Chu Junlan and her wore similar dresses carelessly, Chu Junlan didn't feel anything, but Princess Cai was unhappy all of a sudden.

"How long will it take for the princess to come out, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Junlan smiled and said apologetically: "Princess Cai's lesson is that my body is heavy, so I walk slower, and I ask Princess Cai to bear with me if I am rude." ”
