Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 389 Plum Picking
There is no early morning today.

It was past half time when Lu Yan sang.

Lying in the warm brocade quilt, it seemed that he could still smell the faint fragrance left by Lu Qingluan in his breath.

She got up and just put on her clothes when she heard Zhexue calling outside: "Lu Zhaoyi, 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 red plums in white clothes made the little girl who was not yet ready look even more lively and beautiful.

Seeing Lu Yange looking over, Lu Qingluan's delicate face immediately brought a smile: "You wake up, look at the plum blossoms I picked. It snowed all night last night, and I stopped for a while after dawn. I just wanted to go to the plum forest to see the plum blossoms Has it bloomed? Only after I went there did I find out that most of the plum blossoms have lost their flower buds. These are the old plum blossoms in the corner. I heard that it blooms the earliest every year, and it really does this year.”

Sure enough, most of the plum branches in Lu Qingluan's hands were in bloom, and a small half were still holding flower buds. It would take less than two days to compete to bloom.

Lu Yange looked at Huanxi, and personally found a pottery vase for flower arrangement.

In the past, Qingluan liked these flowers in the countryside. Throughout the year, there were always flowers in the room of her and her sisters.

Sometimes it is impossible to find flowers, and a few weeds or a few branches with red leaves can be placed in a vase, which is also very beautiful.

By noon, the snow was heavy again, and Lu Yange, who had said to leave, sat down again.

This time, the snow did not stop until late in the evening.

Lu Yange came to Yuehua Palace as the emperor, if he didn't leave, it would be really ugly.

Seeing Lu Qingluan carefully wrapping white cloth strips around her, Lu Yange raised his hand and tightened it: "It's too loose, please tighten it."

Lu Qingluan couldn't bear to do it: "Winter clothes are thick, so you can't tell if they are looser?"

Lu Yange shook his head: "It's better to be cautious, if someone else notices it accidentally, it will be a matter of losing their heads."

Seeing what Lu Yange said, Lu Qingluan could only drag in with all his heart, and wrapped the white cloth strips on the girl's plump body.

As soon as the soft sedan carrying Lu Yange left Yuehua Palace, Lu Yange ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the plum forest in the West Garden first."

Now that the flowers are blooming, the Empress Dowager and the Empress have to send some, and the Emperor and Xinger also have to send some.

The garden is full of flowers, they are all in bloom, why don't you take them to give some favors.

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

When Eunuch Cheng was guarding the door and saw her coming, he hurriedly said: "The little prince has come a few times today, saying that he wants the emperor to accompany him to practice calligraphy."

When Lu Yange went to Yuehua Palace, Lu Hebei couldn't come out. The little prince came several times but didn't see his father, so he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

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

"Little Stool, I'm about to collect all the food, I'm going to have dinner with my father."

"Hey, I understand, Your Highness, please run slowly." The little stool responded, hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to clean up the table, and followed the little prince to the main hall.

After the small cabinet was released, the little stool was sent by the emperor to take care of the little prince.

The little stool is careful, he never leaves the little prince when he comes in and out.Eunuch Cheng has already pointed him out. If anything happens to the little prince under his care, not to mention his life, even the small table and chairs will be unlucky for the two of them.

Serving the little prince is easier and more troublesome than serving the emperor. After all, the little prince is young, and there are some things that he doesn't understand. The people serving them must understand.

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

It seemed that the little prince wanted to come in, but was stopped by Cheng Fangyuan.

Seeing the little stool chasing after him, Eunuch Cheng stared wide-eyed, and the little stool was so frightened that the back of the stool felt cold.

He knew he was wrong, he should have stopped the little prince when he came over, it wasn't because the inner hall didn't let the little prince in, it was because he couldn't rush in so recklessly.

Lu Hebei knocked across the screen, and said softly, "I'll go out first, and come out after you've changed your clothes."

"Well, I know."

Lu Yange quickly took off the dragon robe on his body, and changed into the clothes of the little eunuch.

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

"Ping Shun, come here."

Seeing Lu Yange coming out, the little prince quickly waved, "Today there are grilled lamb chops, come here, and my Highness will reward you with a taste."

"You don't look like you're eating, is that what the Taifu taught you?"

Lu Hebei saw that Chen Lu was sitting down properly, and Cai continued to say in a deep voice, "Pingshun has food for me, so I don't need to reward you. Although you are their master, the master also looks like he wants a master. Don't be like teasing cats and dogs. , learn to respect everyone, 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 teach his son to learn to respect as much as possible.

"Understood, father, my child will not do this next time."

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

"Well, knowing what's wrong can make a big difference."

With a straight face, Lu Hebei picked up a lamb chop for Chen Luxing, "If you like it, eat more."

After the father and son bowed their heads to eat again, Lu Yange bowed and retreated.

Her father-in-law had already prepared her meals. On weekdays, when the emperor dined with the little prince, she would eat alone. If the emperor didn't accompany the little prince, she would eat with him.

After Lu Yange had eaten and drank enough, Eunuch Cheng came over and explained in a low voice what he had investigated in the past few days.

"Didn't the little cabinet meet a fellow villager in the city? Last time I asked you to find someone to give money to his father and brother. Just a few days ago, Xiaoguizi met his fellow villager just as he was leaving the palace..."

Lu Yange listened quietly, but did not speak for a long while.

This little cabinet, when he couldn't find his relatives, was loyal to the emperor. When he found his father and brother, he even took the little prince to the West Garden privately for 1000 taels of silver.

After Cheng Fangyuan finished speaking, Lu Yange asked, "Then who thought of going to Yuehua Palace to call someone?"

"It's peace."

Cheng Fangyuan smiled wryly, "It's also a coincidence that Mrs. Gongsun's mother is Ping He's cousin. The two met once in the Imperial Garden."

Cheng Fangyuan didn't go on to say the following words, Mrs. Gongsun saw that her daughter refused to do anything to Lu Zhaoyi, so she moved her mind and wanted to do something with the young prince.

She knew that if the little prince got bumped, neither the queen mother nor the emperor would let Lu Zhaoyi go.

Even the queen must be vigilant against Lu Zhaoyi, instead of indulgence like this.

"laugh."

Lu Yange sneered, "Isn't Madam Gongsun brainless? Isn't she afraid of hurting the little prince?"

Cheng Fangyuan didn't dare to answer these words, since the Queen's mother was involved, it would depend on what Gongsun Xiangye did.
