As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Lin Jiabao's mood is getting lower and lower. Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao very distressed, but when he asked the baby, he always shook his head and remained silent.
Xuanyuan Hancheng actually knew what Lin Jiabao was thinking, and he must be thinking about seeing his family on the Mid-Autumn Festival. He has also been waiting for Lin Jiabao to take the initiative to tell him to ask him for help, but he never waited. It seems that his baby still doesn't trust him enough.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing that Babe is still not ready to talk to him about seeing his family, Xuanyuan Hancheng sighed, "Baby, let's talk..."
In the afternoon, Xuanyuan Hancheng did not go to the inner study to handle government affairs, but pulled Lin Jiabao, who had just woken up from a nap, to sit beside the bed.
"Do you have anything to say to me, baby?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked him.
Lin Jiabao shook his head.
Xuanyuan Hancheng raised the baby's little face to look at him, and asked, "Who am I?"
"Prince Prince's Palace..." Before Lin Jiabao could finish his words, Xuanyuan Hancheng blocked his mouth. The words were swallowed in his mouth, Xuanyuan Hancheng stuck his tongue into Lin Jiabao's mouth, churned in his mouth, and entwined with the baby's small sweet tongue.
Xuanyuan Hancheng reluctantly left Baby's mouth and asked, "Baby, who am I? Who am I to you?"
"My husband... Jiabao's husband," Lin Jiabao replied obediently.
"Very good! Baby, I'm your husband, there's nothing I can't tell you." Xuanyuan Han Cheng was silent after seeing Lin Jiabao, "You still don't believe in him..."
"No..." Lin Jiabao said.
Xuanyuan Hancheng wrapped Lin Jiabao in his arms, "You must know, baby, there is nothing that you can't handle."
Xuanyuanhan kissed Lin Jiabao on the cheek and asked gently, "But want to see your family?"
Lin Jiabao nodded vigorously when he heard the word family, and tears fell instantly. "Think! Think!"
Xuanyuan Han kissed away Lin Jiabao's tears, "Don't cry baby, I will definitely let you see your family tomorrow..."
"But... but... palace rules..." Lin Jiabao spoke with a weeping tone.
"Okay... Okay, don't cry, my darling. You've been worried these days, and you've been eating less. I feel so sorry for Xianggong. If you have anything in the future, you have to tell Xianggong, no matter what. The husband can help you solve difficult problems, you know?" Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao, soothed his back, and said softly in his ear.
"I... I see, the husband is so nice!" Lin Jiabao reached out and hugged Xuanyuan Hancheng back.
Xuanyuan Hancheng was very happy that Lin Jiabao took the initiative to hug him, "Don't hold back any difficulties in the future, do you know?"
"No. Not anymore." Lin Jiabao assured.
"Tomorrow will let Yuanfu and the others arrange it, you don't have to worry." Xuanyuan Han lovingly kissed the crying red nose of the family treasure.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing arrived at the gate of the Outer Wusuo Palace early to wait. Many family members of the palace people have gathered at the gate of the palace.
As soon as the hour came, the palace door opened, and a team of guards came out to maintain order. The leader of the guards began to report the name of the palace, and each time a palace name was reported, a group of palace servants would be released.
After the palace people came out, they all looked for their family members. Some saw their family members and ran over immediately, while others hugged and cried and laughed. Everyone was very envious when they saw it. The family members who haven't waited, all pricked their ears and listened to the leader of the guards reporting the name of the palace.
Lin Jiawen and the others waited for half an hour, and finally heard the name of the head of the guards reporting the Yongshou Palace. The three of Lin Jiawen stretched their necks and looked at the palace gate, and they kept watching. Until the head of the guard reported another palace name, Lin Jiabao was still not seen.
After waiting for a while, Lin Jiabao was still not seen, and Lin Dazhuang was a little anxious. "Why hasn't Jiabao come out yet?"
Qin Kaixing said to Lin Dazhuang, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I'll ask."
At this time, seeing that the leader of the guards had stopped signing up, Lin Dazhuang and the other three walked over.
"Master Guard, are all the servants of the Yongshou Palace out?" Qin Kaixing stepped forward and asked.
The leader of the guards glanced at the three of them and said, "I came out a long time ago."
Lin Dazhuang was a little anxious after hearing this, "But there is a leak? My child hasn't come out yet?"
Qin Kaixing stuffed the leader of the guards with a package of money, "Could the guards help us to check, my brother brought a letter back and said that he was working in the Yongshou Palace."
The leader of the guards looked at the roster again, "Everything from the Yongshou Palace has been released, what's the name of your younger brother?"
"My brother is called Lin Anzhu in the palace, please help us to take a look at the guards." Lin Jiawen asked.
"Lin Anzhu... There is no such name in the list of Yongshou Palace, but did you remember it wrong?" The leader of the guards showed them the page of the list of Yongshou Palace.
Lin Jiawen glanced at it quickly, and indeed there was no younger brother's name. Also very anxious, how come there is no brother's name? It was clearly written in the letter, saying that he was an official in the Empress's Empress's Palace of Eternal Life.
The leader of the guards thought for a while and said to them, "Maybe he has been transferred to another palace again. You can wait. There will be a few palace servants who will come out later." Which palace person, but the name Lin Anzhu is a bit familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere.
Lin Dazhuang and the others had to thank him after hearing this, and continued to wait aside, the three of them were a little uneasy.
After a while, a little eunuch ran to the gate of the palace and showed the palace badge to the leader of the guards. After saying a few more words, the leader of the guards pointed at the place where the three of Lin Dazhuang were standing. They saw the little eunuch running towards them.
"The three are Lin Anzhu's family?" Yuan Qing asked out of breath.
"We are Lin Anzhu's family, may I ask if my brother is delayed?" Lin Jiawen asked Yuanqing.
"Yes, yes, the three of you please come with me, this is not the place to talk." Yuan Qing said vaguely first, motioning for Lin Dazhuang and the three to follow him.
The three of Lin Dazhuang had some doubts in their hearts, so they followed Yuan Qing away. After that, Yuan Qing took them to a big restaurant, Yuan Qing showed a small token to the shopkeeper, and then they were greeted by the shopkeeper personally to Room No. 1 Tianzi.
Room No. 1 is very big, there are two rooms inside and outside. There is this big round table in the outside room, which can seat ten people. The inside is a place for meeting guests. The decoration is exquisite and elegant, and the decoration is exquisite. The paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall are from the hands of famous artists.
After Yuan Qing asked Lin Dazhuang and the three to sit down, Lin Jiawen couldn't hold back and asked, "This father-in-law, why did you bring us here?"
"The youngest is Yuan Qing from the Prince's East Palace, please don't worry, you will be able to meet Lin Xiaozhu soon." Yuan Qing said in a gentle and polite manner.
"Little Master Lin?" Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen, and Qin Kaixing were all surprised and exclaimed.
"The three of you don't know yet, Lin An Zhulin's little master was given by the Queen to the Crown Prince as a servant on the fifth day of the first month of last month. Now that Lin's little master has entered the Royal Jade Butterfly, isn't he the little master? Xuzhou Pei The county is far away, and the news is a little delayed, I am afraid that there is no news from there." Yuan Qing explained.
Lin Dazhuang and the three were shocked when they heard the news of Yuan Qing.
"How could it be? How could this be? Jiabao is too young! This... " Lin Dazhuang stood up out of control. His precious Shuang'er actually became the prince's servant. Lin Dazhuang was not only not happy when he heard it, but was very sad. Although the prince is no better than others, the young servant is actually equivalent to the maid of the rich family. Alas... The prince is the future emperor, the future of the three palaces and six courtyards, how will Jiabao's life be good in the future... Why is Jiabao's life so bitter...
Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing also set off a storm in their hearts. Lin Jiawen remembered the affair of His Highness the Crown Prince told by Qian Qingkun, but he laughed it off at that time, but didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect this little waiter to be his younger brother. His younger brother was just over 14 years old. He was still so young, and he was cute and lovable, but he was definitely not one of the beauties in the palace. The younger brother has been very innocent and kind since he was a child, and he has no scheming. In order to compete for favor, the wives and concubines of ordinary people are constantly fighting, not to mention the royal family at the top of the power. How can this adapt to the life of intrigue in the palace in the future. Lin Jiawen was deeply worried about this.
Qin Kaixing was also amazed, he didn't expect that his uncle was so good-natured. Got the blue eyes of the Empress and the Crown Prince. But thinking of Lin Jiabao's temperament is also very worrying.
Yuan Qing looked at the sadness and sadness of the three of them, fearing that they might misunderstand him, and said to them, "Don't worry, the three of you, Little Lord Lin had a good time in the Prince's East Palace. His Royal Highness liked Little Lord Lin very much. It's really frightening to put it in your mouth, but this is something that no one else has ever done. Lin Xiaozhu is now the first person in our Prince's East Palace. "
Lin Dazhuang and the others did not feel relieved after listening to the little father-in-law, but were rather worried. They all waited silently for Lin Jiabao's arrival.
Xuanyuan Hancheng brought Yuan Fu back in the morning, and just before he arrived at Pingle Courtyard, he saw Jiabao waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard. Xuanyuan Hancheng chuckled lightly. Ever since Jiabao learned that he could meet his family, he has been in a state of excitement. It took him a long time to coax him to sleep last night. Today, I was looking forward to his arrival again. This is a treatment he has never received before, and I feel a little jealous just thinking about it.
Lin Jiabao was dressed up nicely today. Shu Ya and Shu Qing knew that the little master was going to meet his family today, so they dressed him up carefully.
Lin Jiabao was wearing a sapphire blue dress today, with beautiful embroidered patterns on it, and the cufflinks and necklines were trimmed with gold threads. It made his skin crystal clear and dazzling.
Lin Jiabao's hair was tied with a hosta, and a belt around his waist was embellished with gems of various colors. He looks like a real rich boy.
Xuanyuan Hancheng couldn't take his eyes away from Lin Jiabao, "Baby dressed up really well today. The clothes in Jinxiufang are pretty good. Let's do some more next time."
"No." Shu Qing and Shu Ya responded in unison.
Jinxiufang is the imperial clothing workshop. There are many embroidered maids from all over the country who are outstanding in embroidery. They specially make clothes for emperors, queens and princes. Only people with high status in the palace are eligible to enjoy this treatment, and ordinary concubines and nobles can only be prepared by the Shangyi Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Since Lin Jiabao was by his side, Xuanyuan Hancheng always let Jiabao enjoy the best. The queen is in charge of Fengyin in the harem. Naturally, she knows what Xuanyuan Hancheng has done and understands his intentions. Therefore, it has never interfered with the needs of Pingle Court. This has deep meaning in the eyes of everyone in the palace. As long as he is not stupid, he will understand how much Lin Jiabao is deeply liked by the Empress and the Crown Prince.
This time, when Lin Jiabao left the palace, Xuanyuan Han sent Yuan Fu to follow Lin Jiabao, and arranged for two guards to escort him, plus the original two secret guards beside Jiabao. The place to meet is in the Fuyuan Building in the imperial city, which is also the property of his disciples, so it shouldn't be a problem to think about it.
Lin Jiabao and Xuanyuan Han got on the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the palace gate and exited the palace smoothly. "Today, the baby can be reunited with the family for a day, and then come back after having dinner with the family. How is it, are you happy?" Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao said softly, interlocking their fingers.
"Really? Great? I haven't seen them for a long time. I miss them so much. I have a lot to say to them." I don't know which family members will come to see him today.
"As long as you are happy." Xuanyuan Hancheng kissed Lin Jiabao's little mouth. Lin Jiabao is now very used to Xuanyuan Hancheng's kisses, and sometimes learns to respond to him. The baby's initiative will always make Xuanyuan Hancheng happy.
The carriage quickly stopped at the door of Fuyuan Building, "Go, I'll let Yuan Fu follow you, and I'll pick you up at night." Xuanyuan Hancheng and Yuan Fu instructed again, "Be careful, and don't make any mistakes. "
"No. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness." Yuan Fu helped Lin Jiabao out of the carriage, and two guards followed him into the restaurant.
Lin Jiabao followed Yuan Fu to Room No. 1 Tianzi, and couldn't help pushing the door open in excitement. Lin Jiabao finally saw the family he had been missing for the past two years.
"Father! Big brother! Big brother-in-law!" Lin Jiabao hugged Daddy when he saw them going up. "Jiabao misses you so much!"
"Jiabao, we miss you too, let Daddy take a good look at you." Lin Dazhuang, a stout man, also slightly reddened his eyes.
The family was very excited when they met, and it took a while to calm down.
Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing retreated when they saw the opportunity, leaving only two guards to guard the door.
When the outsiders were gone, Lin Dazhuang couldn't wait to ask, "How have you been, Jiabao? How did you become the servant of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"I've had a very good two years, and I just miss you very much." Lin Jiabao told him the general situation from entering the palace to the present, and he didn't know how he became the servant of His Royal Highness. "For some reason, I received a decree from the Empress, and I became the servant of His Royal Highness."
Lin Jiawen looked at his younger brother Jiabao and he couldn't explain it clearly, and sighed inwardly, "His Royal Highness... how is he treating you?"
"Yeah! His Royal Highness has treated me so well!" Lin Jiabao nodded vigorously. His Royal Highness is Jiabao's husband. The husband said that he likes him very much, and he also likes him very much.
Lin Jiawen felt more and more uncomfortable when he saw his younger brother's admiration for His Royal Highness. Lin Jiabao was still young, and he didn't understand what it meant to be the prince's servant in the future. The younger brother has a simple mind, and he looks like he treats His Royal Highness the prince as the husband of an ordinary family. "
Qin Kaixing, who was on the side, looked at Lin Jiabao's eyes when he talked about His Royal Highness, and sighed in his heart. The child was afraid that he had already fallen into it. It should be noted that Lin Jiabao is young and cute now and is very popular with the crown prince, but in the future, it is hard to say, and Lin Jiabao is a twin again...
Lin Dazhuang thought for a while and asked Lin Jiabao, "Prince he... How many women are there by his side?"
Lin Jiabao was stunned for a while, and said blankly, "Women?"
"Just how many concubines are there by His Royal Highness?" Lin Dazhuang felt anxious for him when he saw Lin Jiabao's appearance.
"I don't know how much, I haven't seen it before." Lin Jiabao thought about it and answered.
"What about the Crown Princess? Haven't you seen it before?" Lin Jiawen asked after hearing it.
"I haven't seen it. His Royal Highness said that the Crown Princess is ill, so you don't need to go to see him." Lin Jiabao also asked His Royal Highness if he would go to the Crown Princess to greet her. His Royal Highness said that he only needs to go and greet the Empress.
"This... This is not common sense." Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing looked at each other.
"However, His Royal Highness often takes me to greet the Empress." Lin Jiabao thought for a while and then said.
Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing all nodded when they heard it, and it was more important to greet the empress.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Little Master Lin, it's time for lunch. Let's eat first with your family." Yuan Fu came in and said to Lin Jiabao.
"Okay." Lin Jiabao responded.
Then, under Yuan Qing's quick arrangement, a table full of dishes appeared in front of them.
After everything was settled, they left quickly. "Please take your time, little master."
After they left, Lin Dazhuang and the three swept away the restraints just now and talked to Lin Jiabao, and gradually relaxed.
Lin Jiabao and the others had lunch together and chatted again. Lin Jiabao told them what he would do every day in the Prince's East Palace.
Lin Jiawen and the others were relieved to hear that His Royal Highness had specially asked famous scholars to teach Lin Jiabao to learn calligraphy and painting. It seemed that His Royal Highness really liked Jiabao.
Lin Jiabao also asked his father, eldest brother and eldest brother-in-law what happened at home. I was very happy to hear that my eldest brother-in-law said that my eldest sister gave birth to a pair of twins last year. I also learned that my eldest brother was admitted to a scholar at the beginning of this year, and my sister-in-law is also going to give birth next month. I don't know if it is a little nephew or a little niece? I'm really happy for big brother...
Lin Jiabao heard his father say that the money he brought back was used to expand the house and buy fields. Daddy and the others talked about the trivial things at home, and Lin Jiabao listened with relish.
The happy time of reunion is always short. Not long after dinner, Yuan Fu knocked on the door and reported, "It's getting late. The carriage to pick up Little Master Lin has arrived."
Lin Jiabao and Lin Dazhuang reluctantly said goodbye at the door of the restaurant. Yuan Qing stepped forward and helped Lin Jiabao onto the carriage. After Lin Jiabao got into the carriage, he found that His Royal Highness was there. Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the baby's red eyes and helped him open the curtain. Lin Jiabao stuck his head out of the carriage window. They waved goodbye to their father.
Lin Dazhuang and the other three also waved to Lin Jiabao, watching the carriage slowly drive away, drifting away. He didn't let go until he couldn't see the carriage.
"His Royal Highness... It seemed like he was in a carriage just now..." When Lin Jiawen saw Lin Jiabao get into the carriage, there was a tall man vaguely in the carriage. And that man should be His Royal Highness...
Lin Dazhuang and Qin Kaixing were very surprised when they heard it. They had just gone to say goodbye to Jiabao, but they didn't notice it. His Royal Highness... They were so close to the future emperor of the Xuanyuan Empire...
