Chapter 389 Picking Plums

There is no morning service today.

It was already past half-hour when Lu Xiangge started to sing.

Lying in the warm brocade quilt, you can still smell the faint fragrance left by Lu Qingluan in your nose.

She got up and had just put on her clothes when she heard Zhe Xue calling from outside: "Lu Zhaoyi, please slow down."

After a while, Lu Zhaoyi was wearing a silver-white fox fur cloak, holding a few dazzling red plums in her hands. The white clothes and red plums made the little girl who had not yet had haircuts look even more lively and beautiful.

Seeing Lu Xiangge looking over, Lu Qingluan's pretty face immediately smiled: "You wake up and look at the plum blossoms I picked. It snowed all night last night, and after a short break after dawn, I thought about going to the Plum Forest to see the plum blossoms.

Have they bloomed? Only when I went there did I realize that most of the plum blossoms had lost their buds. These branches are the old plum blossoms in the corner. I heard that it blooms the earliest every year, and it turns out that this year is also the case."

Sure enough, most of the plum branches in Lu Qingluan's hands were in full bloom, and a small half were still in bloom. I thought they would bloom in the next two days.

Lu Sheige looked happy and personally found a pottery vase to arrange flowers.

Qingluan used to like these flowers in the countryside. All year round, the rooms of her and her sisters were always filled with flowers.

Sometimes there are really no flowers to be found, and a few weeds or branches with red leaves would be nice to put in a vase.

By noon, the snow started to get heavy again, and Lu Sheige, who had originally said to leave, sat down again.

This time, the snow continued to fall until late in the evening.

Lu Shege came to Yuehua Palace in his capacity as the emperor. If he didn't leave, he would really look out of place.

Seeing Lu Qingluan carefully wrapping the white cloth around her, Lu Xiangge raised his hand and tightened it: "It's too loose, it needs to be tighter."

Lu Qingluan couldn't bear to start: "Winter clothes are thick, can't they be seen if they are looser?"

Lu Sheige shook his head: "It's better to be cautious. If others accidentally notice it, this will be a head-scratching matter."

Seeing what Lu Xiangge said, Lu Qingluan could only pull in hard and wrap the white cloth around the girl's plumpness.

As soon as the soft sedan carrying Lu Shengge left the Yuehua Palace, Lu Shengge said in a deep voice: "Go to the Plum Grove in the West Garden first."

Now that the flowers have bloomed, the Queen Mother and Queen must send some, and the Emperor and Xing'er should also send some.

The flowers in this garden are all blooming, so why not give them some favors?

When Lu Sheige returned to Tai Chi Hall, it was already dark.

When Eunuch Cheng was standing guard at the door and saw her coming, he hurriedly said, "The young prince has been here a few times today. He said he wanted to ask the emperor to practice calligraphy with him."

Lu Sheige went to Yuehua Palace, and Lu Hebei couldn't come out. The young prince came several times but didn't see his father, and he felt a little unhappy.

As soon as he took the chopsticks, he heard the eunuch guarding the door saying that the emperor had returned to Tai Chi Hall, so he jumped up and ran out.

"Little Stool, hurry up and put all the food away. I'm going to have a meal with my father."

"Hey, I know this. Your Highness, please run more slowly." The little stool responded and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch beside him to clear the table. He followed the little prince and ran towards the main hall.

After the little cabinet came out and died, the little stool was sent by the emperor to take care of the little prince.

The little stool is attentive, and he never leaves the little prince when he comes in and out. Eunuch Cheng has given him a thumbs up. If something happens to the little prince again under his care, not to mention his life will be in danger, and even the little table will be in danger.

The chair and the two of them will probably be in trouble too.

Compared with serving the emperor, serving the young prince is easier and more troublesome. After all, the young prince is young and does not understand some things. The people serving around them must understand things.

Lu Xiangge had just entered the inner hall, and before he had time to change his clothes, he heard Chen Luxing's voice from outside: "Father, father, I am Xing'er!"

It looked like the little prince was about to come in, but Cheng Fangyuan stopped him outside.

Seeing Little Stool chasing after him, Eunuch Cheng stared with big eyes, and was so frightened that Little Stool's back went cold.

He knew that he was wrong. He should have stopped the young prince when he came over. It was not that he was not allowed to enter the inner palace, but he should not rush in so recklessly.

Lu Hebei knocked on the screen and said softly: "I'll go out first. You can change your clothes and come out."

"Yeah, I know."

Lu Sheige quickly took off his dragon robe and changed into the clothes of a young eunuch.

When she finished combing her hair and came out, steaming meals were already placed on the table outside. Lu Hebei and Chen Luxing were sitting facing each other to eat.

"Pingshun, come here."

When the young prince saw Lu Sheige coming out, he hurriedly waved, "There are roasted lamb chops today. Come over here and I will give you one to try."

"Don't look like you're eating when you're eating. Is this what the master taught you?"

Lu Hebei saw Chen Lu Xing sitting down properly, and Cai continued to say in a deep voice, "Pingshun has his own food, so he doesn't need you to reward him. Although you are their master, the master also wants to be his master. Don't be like teasing a cat or a dog."

, you must learn to respect all people, even if he is just a slave, you know?"

He was unhappy that his sister was treated like a slave by his son, but he had no choice but to try his best to educate his son to respect her.

"I understand, father, my child will not be like this next time."

Chen Luxing didn't know what his father meant by what he said, but he somewhat understood that his behavior just now was wrong.

"Well, knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things."

Lu Hebei gave Chen Luxing a piece of mutton chop with a straight face, "If you like it, just eat more."

After the father and son bowed their heads to eat again, Lu Xiangge bowed and left.

Her meals had been prepared by her father-in-law a long time ago. On weekdays, when the emperor ate with the young prince, she would eat alone. If the emperor did not accompany the young prince, she would eat with the emperor.

After Lu Sheige had eaten and drank enough, Eunuch Cheng came over and recounted in a low voice what had been investigated over the past few days.

"Xiao Guizi met a fellow villager in the city. Last time, he asked you to find someone to give money to his father and brother. Just a few days ago, Xiao Guizi happened to meet his fellow villager when he left the palace..."

Lu Xiangge listened quietly and did not speak for a long time.

This little cabinet was loyal to the emperor when he could not find his relatives. When he found his father and brother, he secretly took the young prince to the West Garden for a thousand taels of silver.

After Cheng Fangyuan finished speaking, Lu Sheige asked: "Then who thought of going to Yuehua Palace to summon someone?"

"It's peace."

Cheng Fangyuan smiled bitterly, "This is also a coincidence. Madam Gongsun's mother is Ping He's cousin, and they met once in the Imperial Garden."

Cheng Fangyuan didn't say anything else. When Mrs. Gongsun saw that her daughter was unwilling to do something to Lu Zhaoyi, she thought of attacking the young prince.

She knew that if the young prince touched him, neither the queen mother nor the emperor would let Lu Zhaoyi go.

Even the queen will definitely be more vigilant towards Lu Zhaoyi instead of letting him indulge like this.

"laugh."

Lu Sheige sneered, "Is this Mrs. Gongsun brainless? Isn't she afraid of hurting the young prince?"

Cheng Fangyuan didn't dare to accept this because it involved the queen's mother. It depends on what Prime Minister Gongsun does.
