In such a late night, it should have been silent, but who knows, in the East Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace, there is a melodious and graceful singing.

Meng Xilan hugged Changsheng, hummed Tong Yao, and coaxed her to sleep.

Zhou Youchen listened quietly, and only after she finished singing did she sigh: "I haven't heard you sing for a long time." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "There are times when concubines want to be lazy. ”

Zhou Youchen closed his eyes and said lightly: "Sing it again, sing it to me." ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and looked at the sleeping child, and started singing again.

Zhou Youchen closed his eyes and listened quietly, and an unspeakable emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

He suddenly wished that he could turn back into a child, and then snuggle up to his loved ones, and just sleep quietly and beautifully.

After singing a song, it seems that a lifetime has passed.

When Zhou Youchen opened his eyes again, the early morning sunlight had slightly penetrated the window.

He closed his eyes slightly, turned his head and saw that Meng Xilan was beside him.

She sat across from her, with one hand on her head, and seemed to be asleep.

The sun gradually rose, and the sun shone on her face through the curtains, shining her skin crystal clear, and coating her whole body with a faint layer of gold edges, beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth.

Zhou Youchen saw that his heart moved, slowly got up, and walked in front of her, he was reluctant to wake her up, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and love her.

Meng Xilan woke up slowly, and saw him holding herself, with a slight smile.

She begged the emperor to put her down so that the palace ladies would not see her.

Zhou Youchen hugged her and weighed her slightly, and only said, "You seem to have lost weight recently." ”

Seeing that he refused to let himself down, Meng Xilan lowered her head, only buried her face in his shoulder, and continued to pretend to be asleep.

The courtyard in the early morning was mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, Meng Xilan took a deep breath, leaned on Zhou Youchen's shoulder, and faintly felt sleepy again.

Zhou Youchen carried her all the way back to the dormitory and hugged her to the bed.

Meng Xilan opened her eyes to look at him, and was about to speak, but he suddenly kissed him.

It's been a long time since they've been so close.

Meng Xilan raised her arm and wrapped it around his neck, without half a point of resistance.

The feeling of lips and teeth intertwining makes people's hearts beat faster and makes people more enthusiastic.

Zhou Youchen reached out to untie her clothes, and the force was slightly heavier.

Sure enough, Meng Xilan heard the sound of the clothes being torn hard, she looked down, and said helplessly to Zhou Youchen: "Your Majesty, you broke a concubine's skirt again." ”

Zhou Youchen bit her earlobe and responded to her complaint with more domineering gentleness.

Gao Fuli originally came to accompany the emperor to the early dynasty. Unexpectedly, the emperor has forgotten the time today.

Zhu Qing blushed and shook his head at him: "The emperor is with Niangniang now." ”

Gao Fuli smiled understandingly, and then silently retreated to the courtyard, found a stone bench under the shade of a tree to sit down, and lazily took a nap.

The emperor has always been very punctual in the court, but today he and his mother are ...... But this is the best, the emperor and Niangniang love and love, and their lives will be better.

Half-asleep, Gao Fuli heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the palace maids were bringing water inside.

Gao Fuli smiled lightly, got up and was afraid of patting the dust on his body, and went to the outside room to wait.

However, he did not wait for the emperor's orders, and after half an hour, Zhu Qing came out and replied: "Xiao Lizi, the emperor said that he will not go to court today." ”

Gao Welfare was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been a time when he was not in the early dynasty! What's going on all of a sudden?

No matter how much the emperor loves his mother, he will not joke about the major events of the court.

Gao Fuli frowned, slightly surprised in his heart.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly sent someone over to spread the word, so that the ministers who were still waiting for the emperor should disperse quickly.

Because she was too tired, Meng Xilan fell asleep all the time, sleeping until noon, and then got up lazily.

Zhou Youchen was already dressed neatly, and when he saw her wake up, he immediately ordered the palace maids to pass the meal.

Meng Xilan covered her body with a quilt, looked at Zhou Youchen and said in surprise: "Why is the emperor still here?" ”

Zhou Youchen looked at her exposed shoulders, his eyes condensed quietly, and he reached out and stroked it: "I didn't go to the morning court today." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xilan was puzzled: "The emperor has always attached importance to state affairs, why ...... it today" She was halfway through her words, suddenly stopped, bit her lower lip and said, "Did the concubine distract the emperor?" ”

Zhou Youchen held her face with both hands, pressed her cheek and said, "I just want to make an exception for you." ”

Meng Xilan's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and the taste was inexplicable, she slowly softened her body and snuggled into his arms.

After a while, the palace maids brought lunch one by one.

Zhou Youchen wrapped Meng Xilan tightly with a quilt and did not allow the spring to leak out.

Meng Xilan said softly: "The concubine should get up and dress first." ”

Zhou Youchen hugged her but didn't let go, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "No, I will serve you." ”

Meng Xilan's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she glanced at him with disgust.

Who knows, Zhou Youchen has already waved his hand to signal the palace maids to leave, it doesn't seem to be a joke.

Zhou Youchen took out a bowl of black chicken soup and fed it to her personally.

Meng Xilan opened her mouth slightly and tasted the taste: "The emperor really wants this?" ”

Zhou Youchen scooped up another spoonful and sent it to her mouth: "You have no jokes." ”

Meng Xilan smiled helplessly: "How many times does the emperor have to make an exception for his concubines today?" ”

Zhou Youchen raised his thick eyebrows slightly and shrugged his shoulders deliberately.

For some reason, the emperor is in a surprisingly good mood today.

In the afternoon, Zhou Youchen carried Changsheng to the yard to play, he lifted him high, threw him up, and then caught it firmly with both hands.

The palace people were frightened and surrounded by the palace, but they were afraid that the emperor would not be able to receive it so steadily every time.

Meng Xilan was also uneasy when she saw it, and hurriedly stopped Zhou Youchen.

Zhou Youchen hugged Changsheng, turned to look at Meng Xilan, and said with a smile: "Changsheng is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”

Sure enough, the immortal flesh had a small face and smiled very happily.

He's only six months old, but he's not small.

Zhou Youchen threw him high again, and then caught him steadily.

Changsheng laughed happily, his eyes were smiling, and he was cute.

Zhou Youchen was very satisfied when he saw Changsheng so bold.

His son must be as brave as he is.

Changsheng's laughter was very loud. He was born to laugh.

The scene of the three of them enjoying themselves made the palace people feel at ease.

originally thought that after the emperor had a new favorite, his heart for his mother would fade. Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.

With the grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen's Mother, no one in this harem can shake it in the slightest.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Youchen announced his decision on the morning court.

He wants to accept Wuwu as a righteous daughter and give him the title "Lord of Yuxiu".

This decision shocked everyone and aroused a lot of opposition.

Worry-free is the daughter of the abolished prince, and her identity is the most taboo.

Zhou Youchen did not give them a chance to object, and only handed over the edict to the Ministry of Rites and announced it to the world.

The people of the Meng family had expected this matter for a long time, and they had been on guard in their hearts, but they didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

Meng Zhenglu returned home with a heavy heart, and did not hide the matter from his mother.

Mrs. Meng wrinkled her eyebrows when she heard this, but after thinking for a moment, she still nodded and said, "Since Niangniang has made up her mind and persuaded the emperor, we have nothing to oppose." ”

She knew that Meng Xilan had always owed the Chu family in her heart, and she wanted to compensate the Chu family and comfort the Chu family.

Meng Zhenglu saw that his mother did not object, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. "My son thinks the same way, with the county lord, Niangniang's knees are equivalent to having two children, and her status is more stable."

The old lady nodded with a smile: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the status of the mother is naturally indestructible." ”

All the worries of the past are now gone. She now worships the Buddha every day, only hoping that the Buddha will bless him and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can grow up safely and healthily.

After the news of worry-free being named the county lord reached the Chu family, no one in the Chu family felt happy, but worried.

They don't want to be involved with past grievances and grievances, and they don't want to get too close to worry-free.

Zhou Youping is still alive now, as long as he is alive for a day, he will still be a traitor and thief! And carefree is still the daughter of a traitor and thief, a daughter of scourge.

Old man Chu has been an official for decades, and the most painful thing is not that he failed on the battlefield, but that the Chu family miscalculated among many conspiracies.

After Wu Wu recovered from his illness, Zhou Youchen went over to see her, and when he saw that she still called herself "Emperor", he smiled deeply, reached out and pinched her little face, and corrected her: "It's Father, you will call me "Father" in the future." ”

Wuwu was always timid every time she saw him, she subconsciously went to Meng Xilan's side to hide, and whispered: "Niangniang...... Mother......

Zhou Youchen corrected again: "It's the queen mother, not the mother." ”

Meng Xilan looked at Wuwu's slightly uneasy look, and comforted her softly: "Wuwu, now is the time to change your words, in the future, the emperor will be your father, and the palace will be your mother." Hongu will take good care of you in place of your biological mother. ”

She never thought of replacing Chu Jingwen's position in her heart, she hoped that Wuwu would always remember her, remember her smile, and remember how good she was to her.

Carefree bit his lip slightly, and muttered, "Yes, Queen Mother." After speaking, she got up and stood up, curtsied at Meng Xilan, respectfully.

The grandmothers around her have taught her many times, and she kowtows to Zhou Youchen according to the words of the grandmothers.

When the "Father" was spoken, a gentle smile appeared on Zhou Youchen's face.

"Come, let my father hug me."

He stretched out his hands to Carefree and picked her up for the first time, holding her in his arms.

Carefree was still a little uncomfortable, just nestled in his arms and didn't move, bowing his head and not saying a word.

Zhou Youchen saw that she was not used to such closeness, so he only handed her over to Meng Xilan again.

Meng Xilan stroked Wuwu's head, looked at Zhou Youchen and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor for Wuwu." ”

She looked at him with a deep affection in her eyes.
