Chapter III

At the gate of King An's mansion, the housekeeper was anxiously waiting for the son to return home, Steward Lin was the old man of the Shen family, Shen Yanling brought him to the palace when he moved into the palace, and became the housekeeper of the palace, it can be said that he grew up watching A Zheng. Shu Qian suddenly had to leave Beijing five years ago, and he was still very worried, but he didn't expect that five years later, the young man had become a famous general and a hero of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

"Steward Lin, is the prince back, the princess asked me to come and see it again!" Xiu'er, who was serving beside Ning Er, walked over quickly and asked Steward Lin.

Steward Lin glanced in the direction of the city gate, and did not find the shadow of the prince, so he said: "I'm afraid it will take a while, you told the princess that there is no need to worry, the prince will definitely come back today." ”

"The princess has made me and Sister Man'er run several times, and every time she responds like this, or in a quarter of an hour, she will let us come to see again!" Xiu'er said half-angrily.

"Sister Xiu'er said something bad about this son!" Xiu'er was saying that, a white figure fell in front of the door, it was Ah Zheng who had just returned to Beijing.

"See the prince!" Steward Lin and Xiu'er hurriedly saluted.

Ah Zheng didn't stay long, and flew directly to the house.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, Ning Er, who was Princess An, sat in the courtyard, and a group of people accompanied her and waited for Ah Zheng to come back. After fifteen years, Ning Er's face has become more mature and noble, and she is sitting at the table at this time, absentmindedly nibbling on an apple. Jin Nian hugged Ning Er's arm, and said in his mouth, 'Mother and sister as long as my brother doesn't want her own words', Ning Er shook her head, for this little daughter, Ning Er has always had no way to do that, but in front of others, she knows books and etiquette, so that people can't find a little mistake, but at home, she is a real little princess, as long as she is wronged and falls so many tears, everything will depend on her.

Yutang sat next to Jin Nian, so he poked Jin Nian's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "What about it, if you say a word in this family, isn't everyone dependent on you? Ah Zheng has been gone for five years, and you still don't allow him to rob you of his mother for a day!" Yutang has already been married, married to the Hou Shizi of Wuyang, and Yutang has always been very good, and the Hou Mansion's Mrs. Hou also likes Yutang very much, even the sister-in-law also regards Yutang as a sister, and now Yutang is the mother of two children. And Ah Ping is just like when he was a child, he doesn't talk much, he always sits quietly and listens to people, and from time to time he interjects a sentence lightly.

Jin Nian glared at Yutang unhappily, pouted and said, "Daddy, Sister Tang bullied Nian'er." ”

Shen Yanling smiled, shook her head and said, "You're so old, and you're so naughty, see if your brother comes back and won't teach you a lesson!"

"How can my brother teach Nian'er a lesson, this time, my brother will definitely bring a gift to Nian'er!" Jin Nian said fearlessly.

"Big brother fights so hard, you still ask him to bring you gifts, you girl, you are really a little conscienceless!" Ah Ping said with a smile, now Ah Ping is sixteen years old, and he has grown into a sunny and handsome young man, although he is not as good as Ah Zheng, he is not bad.

"It's fun to talk behind my back!" a clear voice said, followed by a white figure in front of him.

"Brother!" Although Jin Nian and Ah Zheng have not seen each other for five years, they are not alienated at all, and as soon as they see Ah Zheng, they fall into Ah Zheng's arms.

Ah Zheng sighed, he hadn't seen her for five years, he still had no way to take this sticky sister, he reached out and took his sister out of his arms, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Yes, you can see people when you go out." It's a pity, I still can't catch up with Miss Smoke back then!"

"Brother!" Jin Nian was very dissatisfied with his brother's words, how could anyone say that they were beautiful in front of their sister, and besides, that Miss Chu Liu was long gone, how could the two of them compare!

Shen Yanling watched the two children bickering as soon as they met, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, Ah Zheng, why do you choke your sister with words as soon as you come back?

"Daddy, after so many years, why do you still use the trick of hitting fifty boards each?" said with a smile.

Shen Yanling raised her eyebrows and looked at Ah Zheng, and said casually: "The bigger the more rules, do you want to learn from those uncles and brothers?"

"Uh!" Ah Zheng was deflated, and honestly saluted his father and mother, so I went to Ning'er's arms like when I was a child. Although Ah Zheng is not bad at writing and martial arts, Shen Yanling did not bring Ah Zheng into the secret door, but when he is usually fine, he often calls the people from the secret door to sparring with Ah Zheng, as for Ah Zheng does not like their sparring, it is because his father, the dignified Prince of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, is also the master of the secret door, but for his son, he is definitely not a gentleman, every time he lets people spar, it is either a wheel battle or a group fight, although they don't really hurt A Zheng, but it is very tiring, Ah Zheng is fine, and he definitely doesn't want to provoke them.

Although Shen Yanling didn't like her son to be too clingy to his wife, for the sake of her son's failure to return for many years, she didn't say anything, so she brought tea and said to Ah Zheng: "Your mother is worried that your taste has changed in the past few years, what oolong tea, Longjing tea, and Tieguanyin have prepared a bunch of people, which one do you want to drink?"

Ah Zheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Longjing tea is ready! Hey, after staying in the army for so long, it's rare to drink good tea!"

When Ning Er heard this, she immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring tea and snacks over, her baby son went out to suffer at a young age, it was all provoked by Ouyang Zijun, and he must be scolded next time he saw him, remembering that Ah Zheng ran to the army after making a bet with Ouyang Zijun, but he never said anything about the bet, and couldn't help asking: "Ah Zheng, you made a bet with Zijun at that time, what did you bet on? Why do you have to run to the army?"

Ah Zheng shook his head and said: "The past is unbearable, don't mention it again, anyway, Zijun lost, how can he be a prince without faith, hum!

Several people were stunned, how to bet on the marriage, however, although Ouyang Zijun has always been cold, but he has a good relationship with Ah Zheng, but he did not come to pick up Ah Zheng today, it is very strange, when Ah Ping came over in the morning, Ning Er asked, and heard Ah Ping say that Ouyang Zijun said that he didn't want to see Ah Zheng, Ning Er thought that the two children had fallen out, and now it seems that Ouyang Zijun lost the bet and didn't want to see Ah Zheng. At this moment, Ning Er was even more curious about Ah Zheng and Ouyang Zijun's bet, and Ah Zheng's mouth was very tight, so she couldn't ask.

A Ping, who had been sitting quietly on the side, flashed a sly smile in his eyes, and said, "Mother, how about you make me a plate of osmanthus cakes, and I will tell you this secret?"

Ah Zheng was furious, "Dead boy, can't your two brothers compare to a plate of osmanthus cakes?"

Ah Ping ignored Ah Zheng's anger, picked up a piece of dim sum, and said with a smile: "It's not an ordinary dim sum, this is a dim sum made by my mother! Besides, your secret is not what you told me, what reason do you want me to keep it secret!"

"Aren't you afraid that your prince brother will retaliate against you?" said Ah Zheng through gritted teeth.

Ah Ping shook his head indifferently and said, "Brother Prince is very powerful, but Brother Rui should also be very interested in this secret." ”

"Okay, my mother will do it for you, you can say it quickly!" Ning Er ignored Ah Zheng's appearance that he was about to go crazy, and agreed to Ah Ping's conditions. Shen Yanling supported his forehead, why didn't he find out that his mother was playing with the child like this, and then look at this family that has completed a mess, where there is a bit of royal and aristocratic appearance, fortunately, he doesn't care about those false courtesies, since his wife and children are happy, he will follow the crowd.

Ah Ping glanced at Ah Zheng and said: "My mother still remembers the little princess who visited the capital with King Xiling five years ago! At the beginning, King Xiling returned to Jinlong, and one condition was to marry the little princess of Ronghua to the royal family. It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless, it seems that the prince's brother and eldest brother don't want to marry the little princess home, and as a result, there is this bet, whoever loses, who will marry the little princess!"

"Oh, that's it! So, isn't that little princess good-looking? Why don't the prince's brother and brother want to marry her?" Jin Nian asked puzzled, although Xiling is now a subject country of the golden dragon, but the princess Xiling is not bad to accompany the prince or the prince of the palace, why don't the two of them want to marry.

Ah Ping shook his head mysteriously and said, "What's wrong! Although the little princess Ronghua was still young at that time, she could also see that she must be a great beauty when she grows up." But that little princess's temperament is really special. Hey, by now, the little princess should be married, and she should soon get married to the golden dragon, and when the time comes, you will know. ”

Ning Er turned her head and thought about it, although the princess of another country, although it is a subject country, it is also a trouble for people like them, Shen Yanling is the emperor's brother, and she is the sister of the emperor of the Phoenix country. Therefore, Ah Zheng agreed that he was unwilling to marry that princess Ning'er. Therefore, Ning'er turned her head to comfort Ah Zheng and said: "Okay, you are tired when you come back from the road, go back and rest first, my mother has already asked people to prepare hot water, and at night, I will give you the wind." ”

Ah Zheng heard Ning'er's reassurance, rubbed Ning'er's neck, and said, "Okay, I'll go back and rest first, and the gifts for everyone should come soon." There were too many people on the street today, so I'll come back first. With that, he walked towards the courtyard where he used to live.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a white figure in the courtyard with his back to him, Ah Zheng looked at the sky speechlessly, and said: "Bai Yuming, where did this son offend you, do you have to haunt this son of the world? You are mysterious and don't worry about face, and this son doesn't want to be involved with you, a bastard!"
