Phoenix Hairpin: The kind father
That night, the Lu Mansion was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
When Li Jing came, everyone happened to be drinking for three rounds, and eating and drinking were on the rise.
Li Jing was still wearing his normal clothes, smiling and stopping everyone from standing up and salute: "Don't salute, continue to drink and eat meat." He walked briskly to Lu Mingyu and sat down.
Li Jue came over with a plate of barbecued meat and said with a smile: "Father, this is a goat that I hunted with my own hands. It is roasted with pine branches. It is very fragrant. Father, try it."
Looking at Li Juiliang's shining face, Li Jing was very happy, and smiled with a frown: "You don't need to taste it to know, it must be the first-class delicacy in the world."
Li Jue's face turned red when she was praised.
Not to be outdone, Li Xuan came over with a bowl of hot pheasant soup, and said attentively, "Father, this is the pheasant that I hunted with my own hands, and the chicken soup is delicious. Father, come and drink it. A bowl."
Li Jing was coaxed by his daughter so much that he took a sip from the bowl, and it was really fresh and fragrant.
Then, Li Wan also brought a bunch of rabbit skewers over: "Father, I beat this rabbit and I roasted it myself."
The rabbit skewer, obviously burnt, was a piece of black.
Although Li Jing is a father who is used to children, he has to hesitate when he sees such rabbit meat. Li Con looked at his father eagerly: "Father, why don't you eat it!"
Li Xuan covered his mouth with a smile, and rudely exposed Li Yan's old story: "My brother doesn't know how to roast meat, so he had to do it himself. He roasted a bunch of meat, but no one would eat it. This is to coax the emperor to eat some to save his life. Some face!"
Li Yun was a little embarrassed and argued with reason: "Who said no one ate it. The sixth uncle ate a lot just now!"
Lu Xuan appeared out of nowhere, and said weakly, "I have eaten two skewers, and I have been to the hut three times. Whoever wants to eat rabbit meat, go to the imperial doctor to find some pills first!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Li Cong was young, but she was very face-saving, and was teased to the point of tears.
Li Jing was so distressed when he saw that he was heartless and took over a plate of rabbit meat.
Li Wan wiped her tears with her sleeve and whispered, "Is it really delicious?"
The outside was battered, the inside was not very cooked, the salt was not evenly sprinkled, one bite was bland, and another was too salty. Fortunately, Li Jing was still able to boast without changing his face, and he just ate up a plate of rabbit meat.
Looking at Lu Mingyu, both funny and distressed, she winked at Qiyun. Qiyun immediately understood and quietly retreated. I went to the imperial doctor to find the medicine for digestion.
Thanks to these pills being taken on time, Li Jing had a stomach upset in the middle of the night, and he could barely hold on to go to the morning the next day.
"The emperor is too accustomed to children." Everyone was gossiping together, and they had to laugh at this time. Shen Lan smiled and sighed: "Sixth brother has already had a stomach upset. The emperor knew that the rabbit meat was not cooked, so he just ate a plate."
Lu Mingyu also felt helpless: "After the children fell asleep last night, he took three pills and got up four or five times in the middle of the night. His legs were shaking a little in the morning."
"I also told him, don't be so accustomed to children in the future."
Li Jing smiled at that time and said softly: "Xiaoyu, the royal father has never liked me very much. When I was young, I was often unhappy because of this, and I tried to do my best in everything, hoping that the royal father would be proud of me, Even if you look at me one more time."
"Unfortunately, even in the years when he was established as the crown prince, the royal father still regarded me very highly, and he never really liked my son. In his heart, the most preferred one is always the eldest brother. Li Hao is also his favorite. Son. Even the fourth younger brother is more loved by the royal father than me."
"I know what it feels like to be ignored by my father. I will never let my children experience that."
When Li Jing said those words, water flashed in his eyes.
Some scars will always be there.
The fatherly love he didn't get, he wanted to give to his children.
Lu Mingyu didn't say any more after hearing a sour feeling in her heart.
Lu Mingyu would never say these things in public. Shen Lan said a few words of laughter, then stopped and said with a smile: "Sixth brother took the children out of the house today and went on a horseback ride."
"They study and practice martial arts on weekdays, and they don't have any free time. It's rare to leave the palace," Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "Let them play for a few days."
Shen Lan sighed with a smile: "Isn't it? Brother Zhuang is a companion in the palace, and he often talks about the heavy schoolwork in front of me. I heard that the prince's schoolwork is twice as much as his, and he has to listen to politics on weekdays. The one who is tired is the prince."
If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.
Being a prince is certainly not an easy task.
Lu Mingyu also sighed: "I also feel sorry for Brother Jue. I have discussed with the emperor, and after returning to the palace this time, he will reduce his schoolwork."
Shen Lan echoed with a smile: "The days ahead are still long, so don't be in a hurry."
Lu Mingfang, who had been silent for a while, suddenly smiled and said, "I have watched quietly for the past two days. His Royal Highness and the girls of the Fang family are very close."
There are also cousins, Li Xuan and Lu Siyuan, who are also very close. They often get together and talk happily.
The children are still young, not the age of Fang Mu Shao Ai. However, reading together in the palace every day, childhood sweethearts growing up together, naturally different from others.
Lu Mingyu smiled slightly, looked at Shen Lan, and then said, "The children are still young and don't understand anything. Let's talk about it."
Lu Mingfang also smiled heartily~IndoMTL.com~ The Xingyang palace is extremely rich, and it would be good for the Lu family if there was another concubine.
However, it also depends on the affection of the children in the future. With Lu Mingyu's temper, she will never force her daughter.
……
After staying in the Lu family for ten days, Lu Mingyu led the children back to the palace.
The Queen Mother Qiao also returned from the Qiao Mansion. This time in Guining, the Queen Mother Qiao was able to get together with her family, and she was very happy. Looking more than a few years younger.
Lu Mingyu took the children to the Yongmei Palace to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother Qiao smiled happily: "Aijia these days, I have been thinking about the elder brother, the elder sister, the elder brother. I will have dinner at the Yongmei Palace tonight. , Aijia will send someone to invite the emperor too."
Lu Mingyu responded with a smile.
After dinner, the couple left Yongmei Palace with their children.
Li Jue became a lot more lively, and took the initiative to open his mouth and said to Li Jing: "Father, I will go to the study tomorrow, and there is no need to reduce my schoolwork. I will study hard and will not disappoint my father."
Under the bright moonlight, Li Jue's eyes sparkled, and his face was full of confidence.
Li Jing smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "My father believes in you. If you feel tired, don't keep silent. If you have anything, just open your mouth and tell your father, and your father will agree to you."
My father's eyes were filled with love and pride.
Li Jue's heart was hot, he straightened his chest subconsciously, and answered loudly: "I have written down what the father said."
My father was very kind to him.
Li Xuan and Li Cong looked hot and squeezed over. Li Jing laughed and coaxed him over with a good word. Li Yan rubbed his eyes and said he was sleepy, but he didn't think his son was sinking, so he hugged him directly.
Looking at this scene, Lu Mingyu raised the corner of his mouth.
Then, she stepped forward and took Li Jing's arm.
A family of five, marching together under the moon. The brisk laughter drifted under the moonlight for a long time.
