"...Did you fall?"

Mother Yao and Hua Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to help Yu Zhu stand up, watching her face carefully for fear of falling out.

Yu Zhu was helped to slowly get up from the ground. Although she looked a little embarrassed, fortunately she was wearing thick clothes. Apart from her heart beating a little faster, she didn't feel any other discomfort. She motioned to Yao's mother to rest assured.

His eyes glanced at the little girl in red who rolled away from him after falling. He saw that the child was about eight years old. He was thin and small but very energetic. He jumped up from the ground early. At this moment, his eyes

He turned around and looked around.

After the maid who led the way saw what was going on, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak. She kept apologizing, "Damn it, slave. I didn't notice Miss Swing coming over, and the second lady was frightened."

Yu Zhu was helped by Hua Ruo to arrange her clothes and bun, and asked, "Who is this child?"

The maid apologized and said with a smile, "She is my uncle's adopted sister, Miss Swing."

"The ladies of your house have really good rules." Ji glanced at the swing with a half-smile, "Young ladies, you're just a little beggar you picked up."

That look in Swing's eyes made her tremble, and she said: "Why are you so cruel? I asked Brother Haoran to pay you the money." Then he ran away without looking back.

Yuzhu touched his nose and said, "Pay money?"

Is this considered to be looked down upon?

The maid who led the way smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Don't argue with her. After two good days, a child doesn't know what the world is." Her words were filled with disgust.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the direction the swing was leaving and was shocked again.

"Okay, there are still a few steps left for us to walk on our own. You should chase after her first to make sure nothing happens." Yu Zhu noticed her anxious look and spoke up at the right time.

The maid hurriedly blessed herself with gratitude, picked up her skirt and chased after him.

Ji looked at the maid's retreating back and was speechless, "This Zhenbei General's Mansion is too lax. Where are the rules? There are no rules at all. Even the little beggar running around the house can do it."

Put it up for adoption, and if you tell me whether it’s true or not, you’ll laugh your ass off.”

She was born into a famous family, and she was also in charge of such a large government, so she couldn't stand this situation.

"Who knows." Yu Zhu mumbled, and she and Ji got into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion. The carriage began to move slowly. After taking a few steps, he heard several rapid footsteps in his ears.

Mother Yao poked her head in to take a look, then turned around and said to Yu Zhu, "It's General Feng's grandson-in-law. He looked in a hurry, as if he had just come back from outside."

Hua Ruo was the only one of the four maids who had been to Qingzhou with Yu Zhu. Hearing this, he became angry and said angrily: "You ungrateful fellow, this is not retribution. You just ignored me after you climbed up a high branch... The old general vomited blood

, Madam is seriously ill, it’s really shameless for him not to serve her in the house.”

"Why are you talking about this now?" Yu Zhu rubbed his lower back, feeling a little sore, and said helplessly: "Everyone has his own way of living, and we others can't say much... I only hope that General Feng can hold on.

It’s just in the past.”

When he returned to Qinghuiyuan, Cheng Xunxun was cleaning his sword. When he saw Yu Zhu coming back, his men moved quickly, and the sword was already sheathed in the flash of lightning.

cut, rare

Yuzhu pursed his lips and pretended not to see it.

"You're back so soon?" Cheng Xunxun put away his sword and stood up with a smile: "How is Mrs. Feng?"

Thinking of that pale and quiet woman, Yu Zhu's eyes darkened, "It's not good... By the way, the old general also vomited blood today and has been busy for a while."

Hearing this, Cheng Xunxun's smile slowly faded.

"The General's Mansion is very deserted. It's such a big place. Not to mention the master, there aren't even many servants. And what's going on with Ma Lu, did the emperor promote him?" Yu Zhu had always wanted to go, but there was only this.

Reason, otherwise he is not stupid, why would he go out when the old general is seriously ill?

"...I was called to the imperial study for a long talk by the emperor, and when I came out, I walked in front of the emperor." Cheng Xunxun put the Fu Weng wood carving in his hand on the huanghuali bent-legged kang table aside, with an unpredictable expression: "After the news spread,

, I believe that the Zhenbei General’s Mansion will no longer be deserted.”

The rank of people who walk before the emperor is not high, but no one dares to look down upon them. There is no other reason. Most of the people appointed are the emperor's favorites, and they often walk in front of the emperor. Everything is convenient, so no one dares to look down upon them.

With good skills, it is not impossible to soar into the sky and skip many qualifications that ordinary people have to go through.

Zaoyuan brought the freshly brewed hot tea from the tea room and quietly left.

"Brother, will you be back for the holidays this year? I heard that the Mongols have retreated, so it would be nice to come back for the New Year." Yu Zhu brought tea and chatted with Cheng Xunxun.

"It depends on the emperor's wishes. Logically speaking, he won't be able to come back." Cheng Xunxun smiled.

Although Nagelcha caught Hulagu by surprise, when he retreated to the Central Plains, he was chased by Hulagu's soldiers and was almost captured alive. His subordinates finally tried their best to protect him and broke through. He was sealed off by the emperor a few days ago.

As a Marquis of Anle, I initially thought the reward was too little gold and silver, but after seeing the beautiful singer prepared in the backyard, I no longer complained.

He spent the whole day surrounded by women and fine wine, and when he was drunk, he yelled and cursed loudly and sang songs. The accompanying officials found someone who knew Mongolian and found out that he was cursing his eldest brother Hulagu.

After working on and off for several days, they finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that Gercha's stolen wife, almond-eyed and snow-skinned, was a beauty he found after searching for a long time in various ministries. She was even five points similar to the princess of Zhuyi, only more youthful and delicate. He was excited for a while and couldn't help it.

Zhu asked a painter to draw a portrait and showed it to Hulagu.

You know, when Xuliewu was ordered by the Khan King to marry the beautiful princess, he envied him for a long time. He made an oath at that time. Although the warriors in his tent were not as good as his brother's, and he didn't think much about the Khan position,

To marry a wife, you must marry a stunning woman, even more beautiful than your sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, this caused trouble. Hulagu actually ordered someone to rob him after seeing the portrait. He didn't even care that he had been hired, and directly caused him to lose all his personal wealth.

Cheng Xunxun played with Yu Zhu's tender fingers, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold luster spread around.

When the emperor heard the report, his face was very ugly. Thinking about it, he thought of something... For example, on the day when the news of the Gercha rebellion came, the Queen Mother urgently summoned the princesses from all the cities to enter the palace; for example, the details of the branches and leaves at that time

…

After waiting and waiting, the end of the month finally arrived.

Last night, Yu Zhu was tossing and turning in excitement, wishing that it would be daytime in the blink of an eye, and she fell asleep very late at night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright.

"Hua Ruo, Hua Ruo, come on, come on."

Yuzhu was so anxious that he lifted up the quilt and got out of bed. He cursed himself in his heart for not going to bed early last night and oversleeping on such an important day.

"Hua..." He was so anxious that when he saw that no one came in, he couldn't help raising his voice, but immediately covered his mouth.

She vaguely heard something.

Waves of joy surged in my heart, and I couldn't help but hold my breath and listen.

But it was like playing hide and seek with her, it was quiet and quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing the lantern coming from time to time.

Yu Zhu hammered the bed in frustration and quickly picked up the clothes on the bedside to put on.

"Ahh——"

The familiar childish cry suddenly reached his ears clearly, and Yuzhu raised his head in surprise.

Cheng Xunxun was seen standing tall at the door, looking at her with a smile, holding a bright red baby in his arms, and the white and tender baby inside was still babbling and talking in words that others could not understand.

"Brother Xi..."

Yuzhu was so happy that he almost rolled off the bed, and then he hurriedly looked for shoes to wear.

Cheng Xunxun hurriedly walked to the bed with the child in his arms: "Why are you still so careless? The child is back. Don't worry, everything is fine."

He carefully took the swaddle from the man's hand and held it in his arms for a closer look. He saw that Brother Xi was slightly longer than when he left. His black and soft hair covered his forehead, making his small face become whiter and pinker.

The little mouth also gradually gained color, a very beautiful pink.

Looking at Yu Zhu, he quickly revealed a silly, toothless smile.

"Oh, you've grown so big." Yu Zhu also laughed, but couldn't get enough of it and murmured.

Cheng Xunxun couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he hadn't seen him for several years.

He was carried out of the palace very early in the morning, and was teased and played with for a while when he came back. Brother Xi soon started to yawn. Yu Zhu was reluctant to call the wet nurse in, and directly untied the swaddling clothes.

Place the child on your own pillow, bend down and gently coax him to sleep.

"Xi'er is going to sleep," Cheng Xunxun put his hands on the kang, held his wife and son in his arms, and whispered into Yu Zhu's ear.

Yu Zhu fiercely covered his mouth and made a fist with his other hand to stop him from speaking.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock, and the wetness in her palm inevitably stained her cheeks with red.

Cheng Xunxun was in a good mood. Seeing that Yu Zhu had already worn most of her clothes, he picked her up and put her on the beauty couch aside.

"What...what are you doing?" Yu Zhu tugged at the skirt of his clothes, completely stunned. Why is this person so crazy so early in the morning?

"Put on the rest here." Cheng Xunxun pointed to the bed in a serious manner, "The child is asleep, don't disturb him." While carefully admiring the blush on the cheeks of the woman in his arms, which was as pink as hibiscus petals.

Yu Zhu muttered a few words to express doubt, then put on the remaining clothes, turned around and kissed his son's pink face gently, and then lowered the curtain on the bed.

After calling the nurse and maid to come in and take care of him, he quietly took Cheng Xunxun out of the inner room.

"That kid is asleep. You can't wake him up even if you talk in his ear. Why do you need to be so careful?"

The maids came and went with porridge basins and dessert plates on the table, and soon a warm white mist and an alluring aroma filled the still-cold room.

A pot of camellias has just bloomed in the corner. Flowers of all sizes are covered with buds on the branches. The flowers are as profuse as brocade, catching the morning glow and full of vitality.

Cheng Xunxun's already happy mood got a little better.

Yu Zhu ignored him and asked the most uncomfortable question in her heart: "When I went to the palace today, did the Queen Mother say anything?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe,
