044: Zhaoli's birthday
The weather is gradually entering autumn, and it is not as hot as summer, and it is still a little cool in the morning. This is the month of Zhaoli's sixteenth birthday, when Fluttershy and Shang Yang travel from Lethe Pavilion to Chen to congratulate Zhaoli on his birthday.
On the day of their birthday, Yan Yunqi and Chen Jinlin came to Rongqing's mansion early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chen secretly brought the queen here, and the two pretended to be ordinary couples.
Fluttershy hadn't seen Zhaoli for a long time, and was talking to Zhaoli in the room, and Yan Yunqi and Chen Yuansu were also there.
As soon as Ye Xin'er entered the house, she went to Zhaoli's boudoir, and she liked to stay with a group of lovely daughters.
Chen Siyuan sat and drank tea with Chen Jinlin and Rong Qing in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Today, you don't have to say that the emperor is not the emperor, just treat it as an uncle and nephew of an ordinary family, and have a meal and have fun together."
"Yes." Chen Jinlin nodded.
Rong Qing didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
"I don't know if Gongzi Rong has relatives in his family?" Chen Siyuan has always felt that Rong Qing looks a little like an old man, and this old man is his own brother Chen Tianen, who passed away twenty years ago.
Chen Tianen is Chen Siyuan's half-brother and half-mother, and in his early years, he was the most likely prince to inherit the throne. He personally led the troops to suppress the bandits back then, and not only won a big victory, but also took out the nest of bandits. In order to avenge the bandit leader, two of the thieves slipped through the net, and went to the palace to take away Chen Tianen's son, who had just been born for a few months.
Chen Tianen's wife is Lin Leyao, the daughter of Chen Tianen's teacher, who was depressed after the loss of her beloved son, and washed her face with tears all day long. Chen Tianen couldn't bear to see his wife so sad, so he led a team of people to look for news of his son, but encountered a flash flood on the way and died in a foreign land. Lin Leyao lost her husband and son, was devastated, and died after a serious illness.
When he was dying, please ask Chen Siyuan to find his son back. But twenty years have passed, but Chen Siyuan has not even found any news about his nephew.
"Nope." Rong Qing has been in the Lechuan Pavilion since he can remember, living with his master.
"Then Gongzi Rong knows who Ling Zun's surname is?" Chen Siyuan was unwilling and asked again.
"I am an orphan, and I was picked up by my master when I was a baby."
That's even more suspicious! Chen Siyuan thought about it for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he looked alike.
"Father, why are you strange today?" Chen Jinlin was very strange when he saw him keep asking about Rong Qing's life experience.
"Father, what is the emperor, father, called father!" Didn't you just say that there is no emperor who is not an emperor today.
Chen Siyuan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
Chen Siyuan regretted it a little, and he didn't ask Lin Leyao what kind of birthmarks his nephew had in his background, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to find. However, the old lady who delivered Lin Leyao should have known about it, and she would definitely ask the old lady when she returned to the palace.
"Do you have any birthmarks on you?" He looked at Rong Qing seriously.
Rong Qing frowned, feeling that this Emperor Chen was a little strange, why was he so interested in him.
"Nope."
"Hey... That's going to be hard. ”
"What's so hard?" Rong Qing asked.
"Nothing, nothing," he didn't dare to say.
Ye Xin'er was sitting in Zhao's room, and several girls were chattering around her, she looked at them with a smile, thinking that it would be great if she had so many daughters.
When I saw Yan Yunqi, I remembered what the little maid said to her a few days ago, and I couldn't help but worry. Yan Yunqi is still young, and she has not had a mother to take care of her since she was a child, and now that she is married, she probably doesn't know about men and women. Although Chen Jinlin is almost twenty years old, he has never had any women around him. Thinking about it, these two don't know anything about husband and wife, otherwise how could they sleep in separate beds on the wedding night?
Chen Jinlin: Queen Mother, your son is not an idiot!
"Qi'er!" Ye Xin'er saw this daughter-in-law herself, and she shouted more affectionately than she shouted her own daughter.
"Huh?" Yan Yunqi was chatting happily, and when she heard Ye Xin'er calling her, she turned her head to look at Ye Xin'er.
"You... How are you coming in? "I still can't ask, there are still two people in this house who are not married!
"Good! What happened to the queen mother? Yan Yunqi was confused.
"Hehe... No, no, I just want to ask you, Xi is not used to it. ”
"At the beginning, I was a little unaccustomed to it, but now I'm used to it."
In Chen Guo's days, she is much happier than when she was in the apocalypse. doesn't have Yan Yunluo's yin and yang weirdness all day long, and there are a few more people who play with her. Chen Jinlin is also a gentleman, he has never been embarrassed for her, let alone fussy of her.
"That's good, that's good." Ye Xin'er sighed, she was really sad.
Before lunch, Rong Qing left the pavilion and went to the back kitchen, today is Zhaoli's birthday, and he wants to cook sweet and sour carp for her personally.
Chen Siyuan and Chen Jinlin sat in the pavilion, and the father and son were sad and puzzled.
"Father... Dad, you always ask Rong Qing what he does with his life experience? He thought his father was weird today.
"Hey..."Chen Siyuan sighed, feeling that it didn't hurt to tell his son, "Do you remember that when you were a child, I told you that I had a younger brother?" ”
It's not that he didn't talk about the emperor, and now he calls himself me again! Chen Jinlin complained silently in his heart.
"Yes."
"My younger brother died on the way to find his son."
Chen Siyuan looked ahead, his eyes lost and he told the past. When it was over, he reached out and wiped a handful of tears, looking very sour.
"So, my father suspects that Rong Qing is my uncle's son?"
"Father, what an emperor! Call Daddy! ”
“......”
"Your imperial uncle and I have had a good relationship since childhood, and after his death, I ordered people to search for many years, but I couldn't find his son. If I can't find him, how can I go to see him in the underworld when I die in the future? ”
Again?
"So so, Father... Dad, you can rest assured that this matter will be handled by me, and I will definitely find out Rong Qing's life experience! ”
Chen Siyuan turned his head and looked at his son disdainfully, as if to say, "I can't find it, can I still expect you, a rabbit cub, to find it?" ”
Chen Jinlin pursed his lips and did not speak again.
At lunchtime, the maids in the house carried two tables to the courtyard, and Zhaoli said that the weather was good and they wanted to eat in the courtyard.
The maid was arranged by Chen Jinlin, and when Rong Qing lived next door to the other courtyard in the past, he had never seen a maid in the courtyard. Chen Jinlin knew that he didn't like it, so he specially arranged it.
Who would have thought that Rong Qing didn't drive these maids out, probably because of Zhaoli.
The cook in the house was arranged by Kang Zhishan, and the food was quite delicious, and the two tables of wine and food today were made by this chef, and only one of Zhaoli's favorite sweet and sour carp was made by Rong Qing.
Rong Qing's table was Chen Siyuan and Chen Jinlin, and Yuan Mo and Shang Yang refused to take their seats. Zhao Lifei said that today was her birthday, she had the final say, and the two looked at Rong Qing and did not object, so they sat down.
At Zhaoli's table are Yan Yunqi and Ye Xin'er's mother and daughter, plus Fluttershy.
During the meal, Zhaoli also received a lot of gifts.
After eating, Zhaoli was a little depressed, Yan Yunqi asked her what was wrong, she said that her grandfather and grandfather's family had come to give her her birthdays in previous years, and now she hadn't seen her family for a long time, and she was a little worried.
"Don't be sad, you at least have a family to spend your birthday with, my birthday has always been my own." Yan Yunqi has spent her birthday by herself since she was a child, and her father has never asked about this, I'm afraid she doesn't even remember that she was born on that day. Her imperial sister doesn't need to say it, it's good not to trouble her, how can she expect to celebrate her birthday.
"Then I will accompany you on your birthday in the future, and I will give you a gift!" Zhaoli told her seriously.
"You must not break your word! If you break your word, I'll ... I'm not going to play with you! ”
"Naturally, I will go with Sister Kite to celebrate your birthday then." Zhaoli turned his head to look at Chen Yuansu, "Sister Yuansu, you said yes?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Yuansu smiled and nodded, she liked Zhaoli very much, but she was still a little estranged from Yan Yunqi, but now that Yan Yunqi is her sister-in-law, she naturally wants to go to Yan Yunqi's birthday.
Yan Yunqi smiled happily, she liked Zhaoli a little more, and she also began to have a good impression of Chen Yuansu.
