On the Lantern Festival, the night was dark and the people were not quiet. When Chen Shuo hurried to the Yunyang Marquis' Mansion, Chu Qing was accompanying his three children to enjoy the lanterns.

Fourteen-year-old Chu Man followed his father intimately, with a happy smile that was rare in the past two years.

After Hanzhu got married last year, Chu Qing and Axun and his son were reluctant to let go, but Chu Man was in a good mood because of the departure of his sister. She knew that her father favored her sister and knew that she could not compare with her sister, so when her sister was there, she did not go to her father's side or serve as a foil for her sister. When her sister left, she came over again. She was obedient, and her father still loved her as much as before.

"Dad, this riddle is so difficult. Give me some tips?" Chu Man thought about the lanterns under the eaves for a while, but he couldn't guess it, so he turned his head and acted coquettishly at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing married her eldest daughter, and her younger daughter became a big girl in a blink of an eye. She would marry her in another two or three years. She felt reluctant. In addition, although Aunt Xia died, her younger daughter was much introverted, but she did not do anything foolish again. He still liked her very much and looked at her with a smile, "That's not OK. You can't guess a riddle of one or two silver coins, so you can't guess it, so let your third brother guess."

His eyes were on the eldest son behind him.

Chu Hong is sixteen years old and is like a jade tree. She is often praised by her master for her talent. It is natural to guess a riddle. However, he did not tell his sister the answer to the riddle, but instead looked at his younger brother who was following him, "Do you want to guess?" The riddle was posted on the lantern. A Xun didn't recognize much, but he had read it to the little guy before.

Ah Xun shook his head, looked at the fourth sister who had been following his father, and drooped her head angrily.

He missed his sister, but didn't want to enjoy the lanterns with his third brother and fourth sister.

He wanted to stand beside his father and wanted his father to hold him in his arms, but his father refused to let him say that he could no longer act coquettishly with him when he grew up, and he would not allow him to call him father again, but only let him call him father.

Ah Xun doesn't want to grow up at all.

He wanted to cry, but knew that his father didn't want to see him cry. A Xun lowered his head and said, "Father, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." At the end of his speech, his voice trembled and tears rolled. A Xun was afraid that his father would see him, so he turned around and left. Qi Zhi was standing not far away. A Xun couldn't help but stretch out his hand to him, lifting his little arm halfway. He remembered that his father said he wanted him to walk by himself. When he was about to meet Qi Zhi, he put it down again. His face was covered with tears, and was illuminated clearly by the lantern above his head, so he was so obedient that he didn't cry.

Qi Zhi's eyes moved slightly, but as if he hadn't seen it, he turned around and followed the little prince. Only when the boy could no longer hold on to his arms, Qi Zhi took the man into his arms while walking forward and patted him gently on the back.

He thought he was moving fast enough, but Chu Qing noticed that his son was wrong and kept staring at him. Knowing that his son was crying, Chu Qing frowned and continued to guess two riddles with Chu Hong and his sister like nothing happened, so he asked them to go back to their room. He left his hands behind his back and went to his younger son's side.

No one outside was allowed to make a sound, Chu Qing silently approached the door of the inner room.

Inside the room, Ah Xun sat on the bed, crying and wiping tears, "I want my father to hold him. I don't like the fourth sister, I don't like her..."

Qi Zhi took off the boy's hand expressionlessly and wiped his face with a warm veil. "Only a boy with no prospects will keep his father holding him and calling him dad and acting cute. When the prince grew up, he should call him father like the third young master, and he should not compare with his sister. The fourth girl is wearing a skirt, and the prince also wears a skirt?"

"I don't wear a skirt!" Ah Xun raised his head and argued, wanting to say something else. The veil was rubbed over and blocked his mouth. Ah Xun quickly closed it, and when Qi Zhi moved the veil away, he immediately said aggrievedly: "I am only six years old. Brother Jun asked his father to hold it last year, and he was eight years old last year!"

The boy stopped crying, Qi Zhi squatted down to wipe his hands, "He was useless, the prince did not learn from him. Prince Chou slept by himself at the age of three, and had already entered the palace to study at the age of six. He could only go home twice a month, Prince Chou did not cry. Does the prince want to learn from Brother Jun or Prince Chou?"

A Xun curled his lips. Of course he had to learn from his cousin and brother-in-law, but he was unhappy and couldn't say that Qi Zhi could touch his face, pointing to the table and calling out, "I want to paint my face!" My sister said that if he didn't paint his face after crying in winter, he would become wrinkled.

Qi Zhi turned around and took it for him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ah Xun stretched out his fat fingers and dug two balls of balm on his face. Just as he was about to rub it, he saw a familiar figure walking in from the door. The little guy widened his eyes and instinctively wanted to call him daddy. He closed it again without saying a word and wanted to go downstairs and put on his shoes to salute his father. Chu Qing had already arrived and smiled and said, "Print your face first."

Ah Xun lowered his head and wiped his face.

Chu Qing signaled Qi Zhi to go out first. Seeing his son's feet on the edge of the bed, he pulled the quilt over and covered his son, stared at his son for a while, and asked, "I just cried? Because I don't allow you to call him dad and refuse to lead you away?"

Ah Xun lowered his head and didn't say anything, pouting with a tender and tender mouth. I wonder if it was his trick or his sister who learned it.

Thinking that his son would endure it, he didn't dare to cry in front of him, but turned around but threw himself into the guard's arms pitifully. The guards had to persuade him to not blame his father. Chu Qing felt so distressed that he felt bad, and there was a feeling of discomfort. His son should have cried to him and complained to him.

"A Xun is obedient. I treat you like this because I hope you will grow into a general like your father in the future..."

"I will learn kung fu well!" As if to prove something, Ah Xun raised his head and said, "I had big eyes that had just cried."

Chu Qing nodded with satisfaction and touched his son's head. He didn't want this bad thing to touch. Tears suddenly burst into his eyes and threw them into his arms, "But I also want my father to hug me. I will become a general even if my father hugs me." A Xun couldn't understand the truth about a child, so he couldn't understand. He was studying kung fu hard, so why did his father hug him?

He cried again, Chu Qing held his son and said helplessly: "If someone sees them, they will laugh at you."

In Chu Qing's opinion, boys should be strictly educated. The eldest son was sensible since he was a child and acted all by his father. Chu Qing understood that he was sick when he was a child and did not use the same kind of request in the military camp. It was his nephew Chu Yuan's turn, so Chu Qing fully demonstrated his strict father's ability, and Chu Yuan did not disappoint him. So it was the first time Chu Qing faced his son who liked to act spoiled and wanted to follow the old method. His son cried so wronged that he couldn't make up his mind. He knew that his son had been coaxed by Qi Zhi, but he still walked in, afraid that his son would blame him in his heart.

"Then I won't let them see it." Ah Xun just likes to act coquettishly with his father, and hugs his father tightly with his little arm, "When we were both, my father hugged me, and if there is someone else, I won't let you hug him, they won't know."

Chu Qing rubbed his forehead, and suddenly pressed his son to his legs on his legs, and slapped him hard twice, "Okay, Daddy listens to you, but you have to do everything I told you in the future. You like to act coquettishly and don't care. But if you don't have the ability to grow up and your kung fu is not as good as others, Daddy will drive you out of the house and refuse to recognize you as your son!"

Ah Xun heard that this was just a threat and giggled.

"Okay, go to bed quickly and get up tomorrow morning to practice martial arts." It was getting late, and Chu Qing made a fuss with her son for a while and stuffed the person into the bed.

Ah Xun held his father's arm and couldn't bear to let him go, "Dad sleeps with me."

"Is it better to get more and more?" Chu Qing reached out to scratch him. Ah Xun immediately rolled into the bed with a quilt like a meat ball, and crisp laughter came out.

Chu Qing smiled and patted the bulging quilt, got up and left, and returned to the main courtyard. Fugui led Chen Shuo to come quickly.

When he recognized Chen Shuo, Chu Qing's handsome face immediately sank, "What happened in the palace?" He knew that his daughter and son-in-law entered the palace tonight.

He was powerful without anger, and he became even more angry. Chen Shuo broke out in a cold sweat and whispered to the words of Princess Shou'an, "The second master asked the marquis to deal with the eldest princess, and he found a way to rescue the second grandma."

This matter cannot be a big deal. First, the second grandma was stunned and brought to the eldest princess's house. If it is reported, it will ruin the second grandma's reputation. Second, the eldest princess is not stupid. All she wants is to have a night with Chu Qing. It is impossible for her to really harm the second grandma. If they act rashly, what will the eldest princess do if she is angry and embarrassed? She is crazy and they dare not take risks.

"I'll go out, you'll be careful in the mansion, no news can be heard." Chu Qing said coldly, lifted her feet and left, Leng Jun's back was soon covered by the night. Fugui believed in his own marquis' method, and Chen Shuo also believed in his master and hurried back to the palace to arrange other things.

After the palace banquet, except for King Shou, who had not married the princess, left early, several other men stopped at the palace gate waiting for the female family to come out. Cheng Jingrong and Brother Cheng Duojun stood together, and King Ding was riding on the horse in a big fashion, so far away from them, and could not see clearly. Gu Heng stood in front of his carriage and looked at King Ding secretly. Thinking of the few letters sent by his sister after being carried into Prince Ding's Mansion, each of which was crying that King Ding locked her in a remote yard and didn't go to see her at all, his chest was blocked.

The result I had expected was that he could not remain indifferent when he saw his sister's letter.

But that was King Ding. He had no choice but to let his sister send a letter, which was his greatest contempt. Even if he asked his wife to plead with her, King Ding made up an excuse to accuse her sister of being bad, or he would openly promise his wife to be kind to her and continue to do whatever she wants, he had no choice. Therefore, he did not let his wife see the letters, for fear that she would be worried.

Seeing that King Ding had looked over, Gu Heng looked away in time and glanced at the Cheng family father and son over there.

Gu Heng was confused, why didn’t he see Cheng Yu?

Just as he was confused, the laughter of women came from the darkness. Gu Heng looked over and soon saw Princess Shouan Chang walk out, holding Meng Xianxian's hand intimately. The nanny behind him was holding his son Nannan. It seemed that she had fallen asleep long ago.

Gu Heng smiled and looked up at his wife, glanced behind him inadvertently, but didn't see Hanzhu, and then took it back.

Princess Shouan was anxious to go back and fight with Chu Qing. She was unwilling to waste time. She urged her son-in-law to take good care of her daughter. Seeing the three of them getting on the carriage, she absent-mindedly greeted King Ding who was dismounting and calling her aunt, and in a flash, she got into the carriage.

Xie, Cheng Lan, Wu Sumei and Princess Ding walked out almost at the same time. Cheng Jingrong greeted his princess with a smile. After helping Xie and his daughter get on the car, he led Brother Jun into another carriage. Cheng Duo just disliked Wu Sumei's stomach and had no news for him, and he still had some feelings for his wife. It was so cold that he pulled his wife's cloak and took her into the car.

The carriage started to move, and Cheng Duo whispered to his wife, "Nothing happened at the banquet, right?"

Wu Sumei immediately said fearfully: "My brother and sister fainted while eating. The imperial physician said she was too tired. The second brother took her back first."

Cheng Duo nodded and said, "No wonder my second brother left early." Thinking that Chu Han's health seemed to have always been good, Cheng Duo's heart moved, "You shouldn't be..."

Wu Sumei bit her lip, "It shouldn't be true, it's true, the imperial doctor must have mentioned it." She also thought of pregnancy at the time, but fortunately it was just a false alarm.

"It's too late today. You can go over and take a look tomorrow." Cheng Duo drank a lot of wine and was a little sleepy. He leaned against the car board and closed his eyes.

Wu Sumei responded softly, and when she saw her husband's forehead wrinkle, she pinched him considerately.

At the palace gate, Xiao Tong led the maid to her husband.

King Ding frowned and pointed to the carriage next to him: "Go up, it's getting late, go home early." Why don't you get in the car and get to him?

Xiao Tong wanted to ask him if he wanted to ride the car together. When she heard the man was so cold, she lowered her eyes and quietly got on the carriage.

When she got into the car, King Ding turned over and took the horse and left.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Tong held the copper hand stove with a faint expression.

Her maid Qingyun looked at her, moved her mouth, and swallowed the words. Even she felt bored by her own princess' temperament, let alone the unruly prince in the rumors. The couple was quite respectful to each other two days before the wedding. Since the prince was determined to be teasing the princess in front of the maid and scolded him coldly, the couple suddenly became cold. The prince no longer came to the princess's side and was not diligent when he went to the concubine. According to the old man in the palace, the prince was just like not marrying a princess, and his life was the same as before the marriage.

Qingyun advised her several times, but the princess refused to give in and took the initiative and was attentive. Now the princess is obviously not happy. She said that she would only make things difficult for the princess.

Shortly after the last sound of wheels disappeared, the palace gate slowly closed, and silence quickly returned to the inside and outside the door.
