Chapter 54: Bai Chun

Xu Zhongli, who returned home from Yanyu Building, returned to the study after sitting down and talking with Chu Ying for a while, and after a while, the eldest daughter Xu Changhong knocked on the door and walked in.

"Daddy......." Xu Changhong frowned slightly: "My mother told her daughter ...... just now." ”

"Let's talk first." Xu Zhongli smiled and beckoned.

Xu Changhong nodded, turned around and closed the door of the study, and sat down by the window.

"Dad, has something happened?" Xu Changhong continued to ask.

Xu Zhongli sighed slightly and said, "But nothing happened, but someone mentioned it to my father today, and King Xuan seems to like you quite a lot, so ...... Dad just mentioned this to your mother, thinking that it would be inconvenient for Dad to ask you. Xu Changhong shook his head and thought about it: "Dad, my daughter doesn't know any King Xuan. ”

"Do you still remember the day you went to Tianwang Lake with Weiyang and Gentle?" Xu Zhongli reminded Xu Changhong.

"You mean...... Gao Ke Gao Gongzi? Xu Changhong was surprised.

That day, Xu Changting asked their sisters to come back to Danfeng City first, and they stayed in Tianwang Lake alone, just because they were afraid of retaliation.

But fortunately, nothing major happened, and they did not retaliate against their siblings, but after returning home that day, the two sisters still told Xu Zhongli everything that happened on the boat.

So Xu Zhongli still remembered Gao Ke, and Xu Changhong was not surprised, but she was ...... about this person It's also quite impressive.

"That's it, because the prince is more strict with his brothers, so whether it is King Xuan or other princes, most of the time they will use their mother's surname to cover up their identity because of their identity." Xu Zhongli continued to explain to Xu Changhong: "Today, it is also because someone told my father that the noble concubines in the palace, that is, King Xuan's biological mother, including King Xuan, are learning about our family's affairs through some channels. So...... Daddy wants to know what you think. ”

Originally, Chu Ying should have come to ask Xu Changhong about this matter, but just now after Chu Ying said a few words to Xu Changhong, Xu Changhong told her mother that she wanted to talk to her father, which was inconvenient to appear in Xu Zhongli's study.

And Xu Zhongli doesn't have to care about anything at this time, as a father, he doesn't have to worry about his daughter's feelings, although he is not as careful as her mother, but since Xu Changhong has come to him, he naturally wants to know more from his daughter.

Xu Changhong's expression did not appear shy or other expressions, but looked very solemn, his white brows were frowned together, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"If you're worried about Weiyang, Dad thinks ...... But you can't be bitter about yourself, Weiyang has grown up now, and he is no different from ordinary people. And you also know that he has a lot of fun in Banlong Village...... Xu Zhongli looked at the solemn appearance of the eldest daughter, sighed and explained.

After all, he was afraid that his daughter would always keep in mind the words that she would take care of Weiyang for the rest of her life, and if she really wanted to continue like this, wouldn't it delay her own life.

Looking at the eldest daughter who had been silent for a long time, Xu Zhongli, who had always been deep in the city, was the first to be the first to hold his breath in front of his eldest daughter: "Daughter, ......." ”

"Dad, I want to go to Banlong Village tomorrow to meet Weiyang, and then ...... And then if Weiyang has no opinion, the daughter is all up to her father. Xu Changhong's face was full of firmness, and there was no trace of the youngest daughter's affection.

Xu Zhongli looked at Xu Changhong's appearance, and felt distressed inexplicably, and his three children ...... In fact, it is really more sensible than the other.

The youngest daughter seems to be crazy, arrogant, and pungent every day, but in fact, she attaches great importance to her family, but she just doesn't say it.

As for the only son, perhaps the whole family used to treat him as a child, or as a mentally insufficiened and infirm.

But this time, since returning to Danfeng City, whether it is Xu Zhongli, Chu Ying, Xu Changhong, and Xu Wenrou, they can all deeply feel that the stupid boy who was frail and sickly back then and often had snot bubbles has really grown up now.

Among the three children, the most reassuring to Xu Zhongli and Chu Ying is actually the eldest daughter Xu Changhong, because of the eldest of the children, all of them have liked to carry everything on their shoulders since they were children, and whatever grievances they have suffered are held in their hearts, and they never tell anyone.

"Daughter, dad means that if you don't like it, dad can resign...... Oh, okay, then I'll ask Steward Liang to prepare a car for you tomorrow, and let that Wang guy accompany you. Halfway through speaking, Xu Zhongli suddenly changed his words.

Because he realized that the eldest daughter didn't seem to object, it was only because she hadn't asked Xu Changting's opinion yet, so she didn't give a clear answer.

But even if that stinky boy agrees to his eldest sister's words about the relationship with King Xuan, Xu Changhong, who is a daughter, can't say it clearly in front of his parents, and a sentence that is entirely up to his parents is actually the whole meaning.

Fortunately, Xu Zhongli reacted quickly, so as not to make the father and daughter embarrassed in the study, and then when Xu Changhong got up to leave, a touch of shyness finally appeared on his cheeks.

This made Xu Zhongli instantly let go of most of his heart, and the only key at the moment was naturally the attitude of the stupid boy in Banlong Village.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhongli couldn't help but sigh again, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

The matter of children should have been the order of the matchmaker's parents, but his own family is good, the stupid boy's opinion has become the most important, and his opinion with Chu Ying is secondary.

So Xu Zhongli was a little worried at this time, and he didn't know what Xu Changting's impression of King Xuan was, good or bad? Would he be willing to entrust his eldest sister's life's affairs to King Xuan?

At the same time, Lu Rui, who was returning to his house separately from Xu Zhongli, also called his son Lu Xidao to the study again, and at this time, Lu Rui's desk still had the bright four ingots and five taels of silver.

After seeing Lu Xidao come in with a weak face, a nameless fire rose in Lu Rui's heart, and now he doesn't want to believe that he has been fighting with Xu Zhongli in officialdom for many years, and he has always suppressed Xu Zhongli.

But who would have thought that now Xu Zhongli, with his half-stupid, frail and sickly son, would have the upper hand in this secret fight.

And as expected, although the matter of ploughing has passed, it has pulled him and Xu Zhongli to the same running line again, and the advantage that he had worked so hard to achieve is now gone.

"Do you know what Xu Changting has been doing in Banlong Village these days?" Lu Rui suppressed the nameless fire in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." Lu Xidao said truthfully.

Lu Rui looked at his son, who looked like a wreck, and really wanted to scold, or even beat him, but in the end, he held back the flames that kept running up in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "These days...... If you have nothing to do, you can run around Banlong Village and see more, not only to leave a good impression in front of our villagers, but also to ...... Also ...... Even if you don't like it, you can't intensify the conflict with Xu Changting anymore, at least don't provoke him during this time. ”

"Daddy...... This is...... What's wrong? What did Xu Changting do, why do I think you are a little afraid ....... Lu Xidao asked curiously.

With a bang, Lu Rui angrily slapped the case, looked at his startled son, forcibly endured the nameless fire in his heart, calmed down his emotions, and said after a while: "Just remember what your father told you, in short, you have to be kind to Xu Changting during this time." Let's get out. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Rui didn't give Lu Xidao a chance to question and ask why, and waved his hand as if to chase flies, letting Lu Xidao hurry out.

Lu Xidao, who walked out of the study, looked puzzled, I don't know what happened to his father today, could it be that the emperor reprimanded him, so he took his anger out on me?

Lu Xidao, who couldn't figure it out, looked at the side room where his mother and maid were always there, and after hesitating, he walked over there.

The reason why Lu Rui has been able to suppress Xu Zhongli in the court for many years, in addition to his own talent can be compared with Xu Zhongli, is that he has a wife from the Feng family, a family of gate valves.

Over the years, it is precisely because of his wife's surname Feng that Lu Rui's career in officialdom has always been smooth.

The most proof is that he was originally sent to Xining by the imperial court, but because of the intervention of his wife's mother's family, he and Xu Zhongli's dispatch made a big change, he went to the wealthy Dingzhou, and Xu Zhongli went to the distant barren Xining.

Lu Rui's wife Feng Shi, the cousin of the current Empress Feng Qing, it is precisely because of this relationship that Lu Rui knows that Xuanwang Yuanke and Concubine Gao are inquiring about Xu Zhongli's family affairs.

For almost everyone in the world, the palace is a forbidden place, whether it is for the people inside or outside.

But this does not mean that everyone cannot enter and exit Fengyang Palace freely, the current emperor Yuanhong does not need to say much, and some royal families with respected status in the palace such as queens and noble concubines can also enter and exit Fengyang Palace at any time.

At this time, in the mansion of Gao Kun, Marquis of Leling, there was a noble person from the palace: Gao Zhaorong and Gao Guifei.

In addition to the noble concubine, there is also a seven-year-old princess born to the current emperor and the noble concubine: Princess Changle vowel, and the personal palace maid next to Princess Changle: Bai Chun.
