23 The more chaotic the better
But later the development of things did not quite match what he thought before, Xiao Hongtu died, Xiao Haotian took the initiative to hand over the military power to guard his father's spirit, and the first one who felt unfair to all this was Zhou Ze, after hearing that Xiao Haotian returned to Beijing, Zhou Ze took the initiative to visit,
During these days, Xuan Ran Shouxu was thinking hard about how to provoke the contradiction between Xiao Haotian and Zhou Ze, and after hearing that Ling Dongwu was taken back to the house by Xiao Haotian, he knew that the opportunity had come.
He could see the friendship between Ling Dongwu and Zhou Ze clearly during the hunt, and now Xiao Haotian actually brought Ling Dongwu back to his mansion in a grand manner, which undoubtedly gave Zhou Ze a slap in the face, snatching love and hatred, which man can bear it,
Two days ago, in the morning, I heard a report from the secret agent, and in the evening Zhou Ze wanted to leave Ling Dongwu in the mansion for the night, Xiao Haotian arrived and forcibly took Ling Dongwu away, and the quarrel with Zhou Ze was very unpleasant, almost a big fight,
Xuan Ran Shouxu smiled secretly, look, the war is about to burn, you don't have to do it yourself, Zhou Ze and Xiao Haotian naturally turn against each other, and in the future, he can easily get rid of Xiao Haotian with Zhou Ze's hand,
When Xuan Ran was guarding Xuanlong Yan Dayue, someone came to report again: The child that Xiao Haotian brought back during the southern expedition turned out to be Ling Dongwu's birth.
The relationship between Xiao Haotian, Zhou Ze and Ling Dongwu has become more and more complicated and incomprehensible, and Xiao Haotian's second wife, the daughter of the patriarch Luo Zhen, almost collapsed after knowing the news.
Xuan Ran Shouxu doesn't care about this, he only knows that the more chaotic the better, and the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it will be for him, his current purpose is to get rid of Xiao Haotian,

Since Yushu saw Ling Dongwu, he stuck to her and refused to leave, and Ling Dongwu also felt guilty because he had forgotten this child all these years, and he did his best to be good to this child, and he really did the same thing as a mother likes her own child.
Ling Dongwu heard Yushu call himself his mother in such an eager tone, and he knew that this child must know that Xia Mingjin was not his real mother, and the child had an extremely ardent yearning for his mother in his heart, so she agreed.
She took Yushu into her arms, stroked his hair and cheeks with pity, and suddenly thought of how Yushu could recognize herself who she hadn't seen for many years, so she leaned down and asked, "Yushu, how do you know that I am your mother,"
Xiao Yushu looked around vigilantly, and saw Xiao Haotian standing behind them, so he whispered in Ling Dongwu's ear: "There is a portrait of you in Daddy's study, I often see Daddy looking at that portrait, I asked Daddy who the person above Daddy was, and he told me that person was my mother, and also told me that my name was taken by you,"
Ling Dongwu became curious about the portrait that Xiao Yushu said, and said to Xiao Yushu, "Let's go, you take me to see it,"
Xiao Yushu looked back at Xiao Haotian, Xiao Haotian had actually heard what he said to Ling Dongwu, so he smiled and nodded at the two of them, Xiao Yushu cheered and pulled Ling Dongwu and ran towards Xiao Haotian's study,
Ling Dongwu was pulled into Xiao Haotian's study by Yushu, Xiao Haotian's study has three major rooms, in the innermost room, there is a painting hanging on the wall, the painting is life-size, the painting paper is a very special thin paper, very flexible, not easy to wear,
The person in the painting is not Ling Dongwu, Ling Dongwu's heart is blank when he sees himself in the painting, he can't speak for a while with his mouth open, the woman in the painting has a quiet smile, her eyes are flowing, the ribbon is floating, the person who paints is a master at a glance, the brushwork is exquisite, obviously it takes a lot of thought, it is really lifelike, vivid and expressive,
Ling Dongwu looked at himself who was beautified, a little embarrassed, and when he turned around and saw Xiao Haotian standing behind him without knowing when, he said with some annoyance: "Who painted this painting?"
"What's the matter, isn't the painting good," Xiao Haotian frowned slightly and asked nervously,
"It's not bad, it's too good, where is this, even I can't recognize it as me, this, this is too beautifying me, making me a real person who is simply embarrassed," Ling Dongwu looked at this painting and was really a little ashamed.
Xiao Haotian heard that she was painting her too beautifully, so he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "How can it not be like you, this is what I called the best painter in Nanzhao Kingdom, before he painted, I asked someone to arrange for him to follow you for more than half a year, and only after carefully figuring out your charm, if the painting is not like it, how can Yushu recognize you with this painting,"
Ling Dongwu was stunned by Xiao Haotian for a long time, in order to get one of his own paintings, he didn't expect him to use such a lot of effort......
After Yushu saw Ling Dongwu, she refused to leave her side, Ling Dongwu felt that she was occupying Yushu like this, and she had seized the fruits of Xia Mingjin's hard work over the years, because she knew that she was not Yushu's biological mother, and she didn't want Yushu to leave Xia Mingjin, who had raised him for six years, so she took Yushu and Xia Mingjin and others to sit in the flower hall together, eating all kinds of fresh fruits, dried fruits, and chatting with each other.
Because the last time Ling Dongwu went to the Northern Desert, he had a relationship with Xia Mingjin in the post station, and Xia Mingjin also knew that Ling Dongwu was once a general of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and he had done things under his third brother, and he was also very close to Ling Dongwu emotionally.
The two talked almost at first sight, talking about Yushu together, taking advantage of people's inattention, occasionally saying a few words about the customs of Nanzhao,
I don't know if it's because the child is back, Xiao Haotian is also in a good mood, and he actually sat in the flower hall with them for the first time, the second lady Luo Yange, the concubines Qingxiang and Bo Erduo, Dai Na and others saw Xiao Haotian sitting in the flower hall rarely, and they all heard the wind.
When Xiao Yushu saw so many people sitting here, and his own mother was also sitting here, he was even more jubilant, the seven or eight-year-old child was the age when people were crazy, and after a while, he made the whole flower hall jump.
Ling Dongwu just came into contact with Yushu not long ago, and found that this child was particularly arrogant and naughty, as long as he wanted something that didn't go his way, he would lose his temper, and he also accurately figured out the thoughts of the people around him, whenever someone went against his mind, he would make a big fuss, and the most hateful thing was that he would even threaten and intimidate everyone, no matter who provoked him, he would say: "I told Daddy that you bullied me and told him to punish you heavily,"
And whether it is a subordinate or a nurse, including Xia Mingjin, they all show a sincere fear of his words, which further fuels Xiao Yushu's arrogance, because he is Xiao Haotian's only son, everyone in Zhennan Wangfu is very spoiled to him, no one dares to say a word of heavy words and reproach to him, Xia Mingjin and everyone just blindly coax him, only Xiao Haotian will occasionally look at his unscrupulous naughty willfulness will speak a little scolding,
Under such a vicious circle, this child has completely become the overlord in this Zhennan Palace.
Because the masters of the house are gathered here, the dinner party is arranged here.
The maid has all kinds of dishes in an orderly manner, such as bad deer legs, pickled crane five treasures, cauliflower fried belly, flower cooking meat segments, and slices of cooked and steamed goat meat cut into small slices and honey-glazed chicken legs, etc., since Ling Dongwu came to the house, every meal will have the dishes of Nanzhao on the table, and there are two kinds of wine, which are very famous two famous wines in the Northern Desert, both are millet wine, the wine is clear, sweet and refreshing,
Xiao Haotian was in a rare mood today, he beckoned Ling Dongwu, Luo Yange, Xia Mingjin, and Yushu to sit on the main seat with him, and the other concubines sat at two tables, which was very happy.
Xiao Haotian sat in the middle, and the ladies took turns to toast him, although Luo Yange's face was not good, the ladies had no intention of backing down, because there were too few opportunities to get so close to Xiao Haotian in a year.
During the meal, Xia Mingjin sat next to Yushu, carefully sandwiched a honey chicken thigh to Yushu, Xiao Yushu's mind today was on Ling Dongwu, seeing Xia Mingjin giving himself a dish, he was very disgusted, picked up the chicken thigh and threw it aside, and shouted coquettishly: "I don't eat this thing, it's hard to eat,"
"Okay, good, Yushu doesn't eat chicken legs, what Yushu wants to eat, my aunt will clip it for you," Xiao Haotian kept asking Yushu to call Aunt Xia Mingjin,
"I don't want to eat anything, I don't need you to pick up vegetables for me," Xiao Yushu said proudly.
Ling Dongwu looked at this scene in surprise, and a table of people, including Xiao Haotian, were accustomed to it, and they didn't look strange, Xiao Haotian's other concubines saw Xiao Haotian here, and they all began to curry favor and persuade Yushu to eat, so that Xiao Yushu became even more arrogant.
This is worth it, Ling Dongwu was shocked in his heart, this child was disciplined by them like this, wouldn't he become a disrespectful and arrogant son brother in the future,
Ling Dongwu slammed the chopsticks on the table, making a crisp sound of 'pop', which immediately attracted the attention of the people at the table, and everyone immediately looked at Xiao Haotian in horror, with Xiao Haotian sitting here, who dared to throw chopsticks in front of him so boldly and rudely,
Ling Dongwu didn't have the leisure to look at Xiao Haotian's face now, she said in a cold voice, "Yushu, you picked up the chicken legs,"
Xiao Yushu has been very happy since she saw Ling Dongwu, thinking that Ling Dongwu is her own mother, and she will spoil herself more than others, and she is used to herself, but now she sees her like this with a frosty face, and she feels a little aggrieved, and she pouts her mouth and stubbornly says: "I don't pick it up, I don't eat chicken legs,"
"If you don't eat it, you have to pick it up, a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, how can you say that you will lose it," Ling Dongwu said sharply,
"But, there are a lot of these things at home," Xiao Yushu said aggrievedly.
Ling Dongwu sighed, how could this child let them be educated like this, so he had to patiently say to him: "Yushu, the things we eat, the food stored in the house are not from the sky, they are all obtained through the hard work of others, do you know that there is a poem: On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows the meaning of Chinese food on the plate, and the grains are hard,"
