The city gate is just around the corner.

Outside the gates there were already many waiting.

Lian Shuyuan waved her hand and ordered the Shu soldiers to stop. Riding his horse and continuing to move forward, familiar faces scrambled to catch his eye.

The first thing I saw was Sheng Hong, the son of heaven, and Xie Mingxi, the queen in regular clothes.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Sheng Hong is as handsome as ever. The tall posture reveals the nobility and elegance of the superior.

Xie Mingxi, who was standing beside Sheng Hong, was beautiful and stunning. It's like a pearl that has been swept away from all the dust, emitting a dazzling light.

Lian Shuyuan glanced at Zhou Quan behind Sheng Hong by the way. Zhou Quan had already looked forward to it, and his dark and handsome face was full of joy.

Lian Shuyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and soon regained her usual majesty, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down and hugged her fists: "The last general, Lian Shuyuan, fortunately did not disgrace his life, and escorted the mountain chief and Princess Duanrou to the capital safely." ”

"It's hard work, General Lian." Sheng Hong waited for a long time, eager to see A Luo immediately, and exchanged a few words with Lian Shuyuan, and then couldn't wait to walk in the direction of the carriage.

Xie Mingxi also walked quickly.

Since receiving the news yesterday that Master and Ah Luo would be able to arrive in the capital this morning, Xie Mingxi had no intention of doing anything more. Today, she put down the trivial matters in the palace, and Sheng Hong also took a day off. The husband and wife came to greet each other.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and Luo's small head poked out of the window again.

When he saw the two faces coming quickly, Ah Luo had long forgotten the resentment and unhappiness in his stomach, and shouted excitedly and joyfully: "Dad! Mother! ”

Gu Shanchang pressed his excitement and said in a low voice: "Ah Luo, you should be called Father and Queen Mother!" ”

Ah Luo immediately changed his words: "Father! Queen mother! ”

The delicate and melodious children's sound drifts into the ears along the cool autumn breeze.

Sheng Hong's nose was sour, and he shouted "Ah Luo" while hurrying forward. Opening the door of the carriage, Arlo's small body had already pounced.

Sheng Hong reacted quickly, took A Luo's small body into his arms, and all the vacancies in his heart were filled. Sheng Hong was so moved that he almost cried, and hugged Ah Luo tightly in his arms.

Xie Mingxi didn't compete with Sheng Hong to hug his daughter, but stepped into the carriage and sat on Gu Shanchang's side.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and there was a strong sourness in their hearts.

"Master," Xie Mingxi endured the sourness in his nose and said softly, "It's been hard to travel all the way. ”

Gu Shanchang stared at Xie Mingxi and said in a low voice, "I'm nothing." You work hard all day long, and it's really hard work. ”

Even if you have a full stomach to say, you have to endure it until you return to the palace.

Xie Mingxi stretched out his hand to hold Gu Shanchang's slightly cool hand, and smiled: "It's good that Master and Ah Luo are back." In the future, we will be able to live together as a family. ”

Gu Shanchang's heart swelled with warmth, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

Sheng Hong carried A Luo into the carriage at this time. Ah Luo twisted her little body, looking at Xie Mingxi's eyes full of eagerness and admiration: "Mother! Mother! Ah Luo hasn't seen her mother for a long, long time! Arlo misses you so much! ”

Xie Mingxi stretched out his hand to hug Ah Luo, and hugged his daughter tightly into his arms, his eyes were red, and the water flashed: "Ah Luo, my mother has always missed you." ”

"In the future, my mother will never let you leave her side again."

……

Reunion after a long absence is probably the happiest and most wonderful thing in the world.

Ah Luo found a comfortable position to lie in her mother's arms, and kept pouting: "Mother, I have already been enlightened and studied." Our mother taught us to read! ”

"Mother, Brother You, Sister Qingqing, Brother Xiaobao, when will they come back?"

"I want to read with them. Dad, will you let their dad go back to the capital? That way, they'll be able to come back......"

Sheng Hong responded without thinking about it: "Okay, Dad promises you that they will all return to the capital soon." ”

Xie Mingxi's slight sigh and sadness disappeared in Ah Luo's children's words. laughed softly: "Ah Luo is really articulate. ”

Your own children, no matter how you look at it.

For a five-year-old child, Arlo is indeed a sharp tooth.

Gu Shanchang took over the conversation with a smile: "Ah Luo has an excellent memory and is extremely intelligent. Of all the children, Arlo's academics were the best. It has only been a year since enlightenment, and he has been able to memorize 300,000 words by heart and read more than 100 words. In the past few months, I have started to teach her to pick up the pen and write, and she has made rapid progress. It will be a great thing in the future! ”

Gu Shanchang did not hesitate to praise at all.

Ah Luo was so excited that she straightened her little chest.

Sheng Hong was also full of smugness: "My daughter, of course she is smart. ”

Gu Shanchang smiled slightly, and glanced at Sheng Hong meaningfully: "Ah Luo looks like his own father, and he has inherited Mingxi's intelligent talent. Superb indeed! ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

Sheng Hong was a little aggrieved and opened his mouth to protest: "It's a bit too much for the mountain chief to say this. Is it that I only have one face that I can't see? When I was studying at Lotus Pond Academy, I wasn't much worse than Mingxi! ”

Gu Shanchang smiled: "It's not too bad." Mingxi is the first in every exam, and the emperor is also the first. It's just a countdown. ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

Xie Mingxi chuckled again and again.

Ah Luo was quite amused when she heard this, and asked with great interest: "Senior grandmother, are you telling the truth?" My father is a man, how can I study with my mother? ”

Without waiting for Gu Shanchang and Xie Mingxi to speak, Sheng Hong had already coughed vigorously: "It's all in the past, young and frivolous, don't mention it again." ”

In front of his daughter, he has to maintain a little bit of his father's dignity!

Gu Shanchang bent the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.

Xie Mingxi also laughed in a low voice.

This story is long. It takes more than an hour to return to the palace, and there is nothing to do, so it doesn't hurt to relieve boredom.

……

An hour and a half later.

It's past noon.

Outside the Donghua Gate, Xiao Yuhan, Zhao Changqing, Yin Xiaoxiao led Sister Fu, Brother Ji'er and others were all waiting. Princess Changping and Gu Qing also led Gu Shujin here.

In the anticipation of everyone, the emperor and his entourage finally appeared outside the palace gate.

The crowd gathered around and stepped forward.

Sheng Hong took the lead in carrying A Luo out of the carriage.

Ah Luo was not afraid of people at all, and a pair of big eyes with water and dripping turned around. Then, he smiled at the most gentle and kind Xiao Yuhan, and shouted crisply: "You must be the third uncle!" ”

When Arlo left, she was only a few months old. Now she is a five-year-old girl. The appearance is delicate and beautiful, the eyes are smart and intelligent, and the teeth are sharp, which makes people happy at a glance.

Xiao Yuhan pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, Ah Luo is so smart, she recognized the third aunt at a glance." ”

Ah Luo held her head proudly: "My grandmother has painted many portraits, I have seen them many times along the way, and of course I recognize the third aunt." ”

Everyone laughed.
