At noon, Xu Miaoyun and Mu Yu cooperated and made a total of six dishes.

Since there was no room in the house for four people to eat, lunch was placed on the stone table in the courtyard.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold, and the autumn breeze blows slightly, which is also interesting.

"Come on, come on, eat quickly, it'll be cold in a while."

Seeing that none of the three of them took the chopsticks first, Xu Miaoyun urged, and gave Lu Zhan a dish of chopsticks.

During this time with Lu Zhan, she had already done this very skillfully, and she didn't feel anything at all, but Lu Yun kept staring at her.

Xu Miaoyun still remembered his kindness for saving her in the morning, so she smiled at him.

Lu Zhangang's face with a little smile instantly formed a layer of ice.

"Hehe~" Xu Miaoyun smiled awkwardly, sandwiched another dish for him, and said, "General, you taste it and see if you can eat which one I made?" "Try to divert his attention.

Lu Zhan picked up the two dishes in the bowl with an expressionless face, tasted each of them, and then said, "You made this dish." ”

Just now, Xu Miaoyun sandwiched a dish of potatoes and chicken nuggets, as well as a dish of green vegetables, although Lu Zhan didn't know Mu Yu's skills, but after eating her cooking for so long, he knew that she liked salt and seasoning things very much.

"Hehe, you're amazing, are you delicious? Eat some more. Xu Miaoyun successively filled his bowls.

Here, Lu Yun also took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and stretched out to the boiled cabbage heart on the table.

He never knew that Mu Yu could cook, let alone eat the dishes she made herself.

Salty and light, the green vegetables were moderately soft and rotten, Lu Yun's peach blossom eyes narrowed in enjoyment, and he looked at the woman who was eating white rice with her head bowed beside her.

Mu Yu ignored his gaze, and only hoped that this meal would be finished as soon as possible.

Of the four people at the table, except for Xu Miaoyun, the other three all had their own agendas, and they didn't use them much.

But Xu Miaoyun was sharp and found that most of the dishes made by Mu Yu were eaten by Lu Yun.

She secretly observed the atmosphere between the two, one frequently sent autumn waves, and the other did not receive signals at all, well, there is a story!

After eating, Lu Zhan gave the order to evict the guests with a cold face, and Lu Yun happily dragged Mu Yu away.

After the two left, Xu Miaoyun held her stomach that was a little supportive, and circled around the courtyard, thinking about things in her head.

Lu Zhan stood inside the room and said, "Come in." ”

Xu Miaoyun reflexively wanted to enter the house obediently.

But suddenly he realized that he seemed to be a little obedient to his words now, so he stopped his pace and said slowly, "Walk a hundred steps after dinner, and live to ninety-nine, I haven't counted enough!" ”

Lu Zhan didn't speak anymore, just stood at the door and waited for her, and when she was really a little tired and a little sleepy, the two entered the house together.

"Wanyun, I have something to tell you." Lu Zhan pulled her to sit on the bed and spoke.

Lu Zhan has always been serious, but at this moment, Xu Miaoyun intuitively felt that what he was going to say must be a big deal, so he hesitated and said, "Uh... Is that related to me? If it doesn't have anything to do with me, then I'll..."

The last few words, in Lu Zhan's threatening eyes, were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Now Lu Yun, you have seen him, he is my half-brother, the second son of the Guogong Mansion."

"Hmm."

"Me and him..."Lu Zhan pondered how to inform her of the situation in his family, "When I was a child with him, it was still good. But when I grew up, I became more partial, and sometimes, even antagonistic. ”

"Hmm." Yes, I can see that normal brothers don't have this.

"I have a stepmother in my family." Lu Zhan said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xu Miaoyun thought that it was just the relationship between the main house and the concubine, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhan's mother was gone.

"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me." When Lu Zhan said this, there was a little loneliness and desolation in his eyes.

Xu Miaoyun estimated Lu Yun's age, and suddenly thought that it was estimated that Lu Zhan's mother had not long been gone, and her stepmother had started.

Some felt sorry for him, so he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his face and gently stroked it twice.

Lu Zhan borrowed her hand and buried his head in the woman's warm little hand, and then continued, "Since I was a child, my high-ranking father has not liked me very much, I only regard him as a strict father. But later, when Lu Yun grew up to the age of four or five years old and could be coquettish, I realized that his indifference was only aimed at me. ”

"Later, I learned from the nurse that my mother died in childbirth because she gave birth to me. At that time, I was very heartbroken and guilty, and I thought that my father must have thought that I had taken my mother's life, so he didn't love me. But until one day when I entered the palace..."

Lu Zhan recalled the memories of that palace when he was young.

Since he was a child, he was not favored at home, and worked hard to learn knowledge and martial arts from various teachers, just so that his father could look at him more. But he didn't expect that what he wanted was not done, and when his father took him to the palace for a banquet, he was personally named and summoned by the current saint.

Since then, the emperor has favored him, not only letting him study with the prince, but also ordering the palace gate guards, the eldest son of the Lu Guo family, to enter and leave the palace at will.

At that time, he was very lacking in family affection, and he felt warm about the emperor's love. Privately, the emperor allowed him to call him uncle.

After many years like this, he thought that he would enter the court as an official at the right age and follow the emperor who was as loving as an elder all his life, but he didn't expect that the emperor's love for him was only because of guilt.

It was raining lightly that day, and the fifteen-year-old Lu Zhan entered the palace to meet the emperor as he did every day. Xu is minister of the previous dynasty had a lot of affairs, and when he was delayed, the father-in-law in the palace ordered him to send a message and ordered him to wait in the imperial study.

After a while, Xiao Linglong, the emperor's favorite sixth princess, came, Xiao Linglong, who was 3 years younger than him, shook her sleeves and begged to play a game of peek-a-boo with her.

Lu Zhan was not interested, but he couldn't stand the little girl's coquettish request. He promised her that he would only play once, and she would be responsible for hiding, while he would only be responsible for finding.

Xiao Linglong clapped her hands and applauded. Then Lu Zhan closed his eyes and began to count silently.

It wasn't until the 100 numbers were finished that Lu Zhan opened his eyes amusedly.

He is a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and he is deaf and clear-sighted. Although he had deliberately not listened to Xiao Linglong's footsteps when he checked the numbers just now, when he opened his eyes and listened to the sound of the girl Ruoruo's breathing, he already knew that Xiao Linglong was hiding under the table in the emperor's imperial study.

Lu Zhan frowned, he had just said that he was not allowed to go to the emperor's imperial study, but could only hide somewhere in the hall.

There was silence for a moment, thinking that the emperor might come back in a while, and seeing that it was really not good for them to play in the imperial study, he walked into the house with a hard head.

Xiao Linglong, who was hiding under the table, listened to the young man's shallow footsteps, couldn't hold back her excitement, and laughed out loud.

"Your Royal Highness, come out." Lu Zhan had just entered the door a few steps away, and he stood respectfully to the side.
