A few days later, Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhan and others, who had served in Shu for five years, returned to Beijing together.

The news of Empress Dowager Yu's death has already spread through the post station. Everyone had plain clothes in their clothes and luggage, and after hearing the news, they immediately changed into them and entered the capital in plain clothes.

The journey is hard and does not need to be detailed.

After everyone returned home, they had no time to get together with their families to say goodbye. coincided with the mourning period of Empress Dowager Yu, and the elders of the high-ranking officials in the family all entered the palace to kneel, and the female dependents who had a decree were also in the palace.

Lu Chi and others have low official positions, and they are not qualified to enter the palace to kneel. Lin Weiwei and the others are only seventh-grade people, and they are also not qualified to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of returning to Beijing, someone came to the palace, and the emperor passed the edict that Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhan and his wife entered the palace.

This move showed the strength of Lu Chi and the others. It also made the Lu family, the Zhao family, and the Chen family have light on their faces.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, the three young couples each led their children into the palace.

……

Jiaofang Palace.

Ah Luo, who was dressed in plain clothes, was very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Father, mother, why didn't you go to the mourning hall today?" What are you doing in the Pepper House Palace? ”

What is it that makes my father and queen so happy?

Although the emperor was wearing a plain dress, the pleasure at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be hidden.

Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "You'll know later." ”

Arlo: "......"

Ah Luo was a little depressed, and muttered in a low voice: "Chengxin sells Guanzi." ”

That complaining little appearance amused Gu Shanchang, who came over.

After Gu Shanchang recovered from his illness, the whole person was thin, and his body looked a little empty, and his expression was a little more open-minded to see through the world.

"Senior grandmother," Ah Luo, who was full of grievances, finally found someone who could be coquettish, and took Gu Shanchang's hand and shook it: "Father and Queen Mother deliberately hung my appetite today, I asked a few times, and they didn't say what was going on." ”

Gu Shan's eyebrows stretched, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "In short, it's a big surprise." Don't worry, just be patient for a while. ”

What a surprise......

Ah Luo's heart moved, and suddenly she thought of something, and her transparent and wise eyes flashed with joy: "I know! Grandmother, isn't Brother You, Brother Xiaobaoer, Brother and Sister Qing back! ”

Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong laughed together.

They must be back!

Where can Ah Luo hold on, and quickly ran to the gate of the hall to look.

Soon, Xiang Hui's familiar figure appeared in the distance. Immediately after, there were several familiar faces. Sure enough, it was Aunt Lu Bolin and them!

Several children followed closely at their parents' side.

Excited, Ah Luo left all the etiquette and palace rules he had learned on weekdays behind, and ran with his skirt in his arms: "Brother You, Brother Xiaobaoer, Sister Qing!" ”

The delicate and picturesque girl with her eyebrows is like a little jade girl running out of the statue of Guanyin, and the joy between her eyebrows and eyes is more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

Brother You was also excited and happy, and stepped forward uncontrollably: "Sister Aluo." ”

Sister Xiaobao'er on the side couldn't hold back, and each shouted Sister Aluo and rushed forward together.

The four children hugged each other, first with joy on their faces, and when Sister Baoqing was excited, her eyes turned red, and tears fell down: "Sister Aluo, you have been gone for more than a year, we miss you so much." ”

Xiao Bao'er also had red eyes: "Yes, after you left, I was bored all day." Not even a quarrel is gone. ”

Brother You'er was a little more stable and self-controlled: "Sister Aluo, we will never be separated again in the future." ”

Ah Luo wiped her red eyes with the back of her hand and nodded vigorously: "Okay, you will come to the palace to study together in the future." We are in one place every day, and we are never separated. ”

……

The children first staged a scene of "overjoyed reunion after a long absence".

The adults who were overjoyed to see the reunion after a long absence, were embarrassed and funny.

Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi greeted them together, and looked at their friends who had been separated for more than three years with a smile: "You guys are finally back." ”

Lu Chi and the others were also very excited.

When they went to Shu with Sheng Hong, they had no other thoughts. Lu Chi wants to repay his kindness, Zhao Qi wants to support his classmates and friends, and Chen Zhan wants to leave the capital to live a free life......

Intentionally planting flowers does not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade.

No one expected that Sheng Hong would finally sit on the dragon chair. They also became the confidants of the new emperor, and with their "dragon skills", they became the upstarts of the Daqi officialdom. A bright future is just around the corner.

"Weichen Lu Chi, with his wife and children, I have seen the emperor and the queen's mother." Lu Chi was excited, and did not forget to salute.

Lin Weiwei also saluted.

Sheng Hong stepped forward quickly and helped Lu Chi up. Xie Mingxi stretched out his hand to help Lin Weiwei, and smiled at Zhao Qi and the others: "Don't be in a hurry to salute." The chief of the mountain is waiting for you in the temple. ”

Everyone suppressed the excitement and joy in their hearts, and laughed together.

After entering the Jiaofang Palace, everyone bowed their hands together and performed the student salute: "The student has seen the mountain chief." ”

Gu Shanchang, who was calm and self-controlled, had slightly hot eyes: "Okay!" Good! It's good to be back! ”

Friends get together after a long absence, which is the most beautiful thing in the world.

It is inevitable that everyone will be emotional.

I only hate that this is the mourning period of Empress Dowager Yu, and I can't set up a banquet to get drunk.

After a while, everyone's excitement finally subsided a little, and they looked at each other carefully.

More than three years have left a mark on everyone. The appearance is still the same as before, but the bearing is very different. Especially Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi, one is handsome and majestic, and he has the bearing of a son of heaven in every gesture. A calm and calm, smiling and smiling queen style.

This pair of young but gorgeous Great Qi Emperors is awe-inspiring.

Sheng Hong took the lead in opening his mouth and said: "At this time, it is the mourning period of the Queen Mother, you don't have to be anxious, just repair in the house for the time being." After the mourning period is over, I will make my own arrangements for your official position. ”

Lu Chi smiled and should be.

Zhao Qi, who has a baby face, now looks old and has become a little ...... He looks like he's about eighteen or nineteen years old. The temper that loves to talk and laugh is the same as ever, and he grinned: "It seems that we will all have to stay in the capital in the future." ”

Chen Zhan sighed a little helplessly: "My father has been urging me to return to Beijing. After that, I had to live under my father's coercion again. ”

Everyone laughed.

Back then, Chen Zhan secretly left the capital and went to Shudi, which made Chen Shilang angry enough. wrote several letters in a row to Shudi, angrily scolding his son for being unfilial. Chen Zhan was so disgraced that he didn't even dare to write a reply.

When everyone gossips, they have to make a joke. Chen Zhan is also a single, so he simply laughs at himself from time to time.

Xie Mingxi looked at Lin Weiwei with a smile and said softly: "Sister Lin, in the past few years, you have worked hard. ”
