In the Imperial City.

Emperor Chu had been looking forward to his son and daughter-in-law for a long time, and when he heard that the two were back, he couldn't wait to see his son and daughter-in-law immediately, and felt sorry for their hard work all the way.

After a while, he asked people to clean up the Changning Palace, waited for Chu Tianmu and Xiling Lan to enter the palace to rest, and then instructed the imperial dining room to prepare the dishes that his son and daughter-in-law loved to eat. When everything was arranged, he didn't have any thoughts, he just walked around the imperial study, and from time to time he told the little eunuch to take a look, did the prince enter the palace.

The little eunuch at the door was lame, and finally looked forward to the prince and the princess's car driving into the palace, and he was so moved that he was about to cry, and hurriedly trotted all the way back to pray.

When Chu Tianmu and Xiling Lan arrived at the imperial study, they saw that Emperor Chu had been standing at the door and waiting for a long time, and when they saw the two of them, Emperor Chu couldn't bear the excitement, and looked at the two of them, and saw that the two of them looked very good, especially Xiling Lan, who suddenly grew up two or three years old, and knew that there must be some adventures, and it was not good to say much at the door.

I could only smile and sigh, "It's good to come back." Then let Gao Chong, the personal manager, guard the door of the imperial study, and led the two into the imperial study.

The three of them sat down, the tea had already been prepared, after all, Emperor Chu had been an emperor for many years, so he quickly stabilized his mood, took a sip of tea, and then asked about the party in southern Xinjiang.

Chu Tianmu roughly talked about the events that happened in southern Xinjiang, which was too thrilling and only briefly said, and about Yuan Xuan, he concealed it, only saying that Yuan Xuan had another adventure, went out to travel, and the return date was uncertain.

Emperor Chu didn't dig deeper, although Yuan Xuan was a talent, but Chu Tianmu was there, Chu Feng had no shortage of generals, and he only regretted his departure, and asked about the situation of Funing's father-in-law, and heard that he stayed in southern Xinjiang to accompany Miao Qingge, and would never go out of southern Xinjiang again, his face turned pale, and he hesitated for a long time before he asked: "Your mother concubine, okay?" ”

Chu Tianmu looked at Emperor Chu's pretended casual expression, remembered the decisive words of his mother, and couldn't help but tear up a handful of sympathy for his father, calling you three wives and four concubines, and enjoy the blessings of all people, now I regret it, it's too late!

His face was still faint, pretending not to see anything: "Everything is fine with the concubine." ”

Emperor Chu looked at Chu Tianmu's immobile expression, and wanted to go up and smoke him, pretending, I don't know that my Lao Tzu wants to know the situation of his mother's concubine, and he finished talking in a few words, this unfilial son!

endured and endured, and finally couldn't resist the worry in his heart, and spoke again embarrassed and embarrassed: "Then she is now-" I want to ask her if she still remembers herself, whether she has forgiven herself, and it is difficult to say the Chu Emperor, the words were stuck in her throat for a long time, and she was speechless.

Chu Tianmu did tea drinking and studied the tea cup, well, I haven't drunk Chu Feng's tea for a long time, this cup is good, newly fired, and it looks good.

Xiling Lan lowered her head and counted the hydrangea embroidered on her clothes, there were a few petals, and she was completely forgetful.

Emperor Chu felt bitter in his heart, seeing his son and daughter-in-law behaving like this, what did he not understand? Although Qingge is gentle and kind, he is also stubborn, and he said that he would break off his kindness at the beginning, and it is no longer possible, so he will definitely do what he says. It's just that he doesn't give up, thinking that he and Qingge have a mandarin duck Gu that lives and dies together, can share each other's injuries, know if the other party is okay, and fantasize that this may be Qingge's affection for him, right?

After so many years of deceiving myself with this fantasy, it is time to wake up from my dreams.
