Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 561

When the three brothers came out of Qianqing Palace, it was already dark outside.

"It's so late? I thought it was over early, so go to my place first." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Xiongying knows that you are back, and keeps talking about finding fourth and sixth uncles to play with."

"Mainly looking for his sixth uncle, right? Fourth uncle always scared him to tears." Zhu Di joked.

"You love to scare children so much." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly: "But the more Xiongying scares you to the point of crying, the more he wants to find someone to play with. I don't know what this kid is thinking."

"It's getting late today, and the concubine Xian is still waiting for the sixth child." Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let's spend a good day with him during the Chinese New Year."

"Fourth sister-in-law is also waiting for fourth brother." The sixth child chuckled.

"Ah." Zhu Di stopped pretending completely, nodded and said, "I've been out for so long, don't worry, I have to go back and have a look."

"Tomorrow, I'll take Xiongying to see Gao Chi." Zhu Zhen smiled at the fourth child.

"Understood." The fourth child gave the sixth child a meaningful smile, but the prince was confused, wondering what the hell these two guys were doing.

After finishing speaking, the fourth child bowed his hands to the eldest brother, and hurried out of the palace before the palace gate closed.

"This guy, before returning to the capital, he had to live with me for a few days. I really forgot my brother after marrying a wife." The prince said sourly: "Lao Liu, you can't do this in the future."

"Don't worry, big brother, I won't." The sixth child said with a smile, "How about I go back with you?"

"No need, Concubine Xian should be waiting soon." Zhu Biao told him the good news with a smile: "Oh, by the way, your concubine mother will be promoted again."

"Huh? Brother or sister?" Lao Liu was deeply shocked.

"Uh..." Zhu Biao was speechless for a while, and finally said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "It's about being promoted from a virtuous concubine to a noble concubine, not about giving birth to children."

"Oh, that's it." Lao Liu said with an embarrassed smile, "I've been talking to the old man for too long, and I can't use my head."

"Okay, let's go back quickly, let's talk about it another day." The prince habitually straightened Lao Liu's collar and watched Lao Liu leave.

Seeing his younger brother's burly figure, the prince stroked the beard that had just grown, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

How fast, in the blink of an eye, they all became adults and had their own ideas.I no longer rely on myself everywhere like I used to...

~~
The palace servants of Wan'an Palace had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and when they saw His Highness coming back, they shouted happily, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is back!"

"Oh, brat, you're back." Concubine Hu Xian greeted her happily after hearing the news.

"Father is the one who let him go. Sister Hong is in a hurry?" Zhu Zhen looked at his concubine mother with a smile and praised, "Sister Hong still looks so young and beautiful!"

"Hehehe, don't talk nonsense, mother is already old." Concubine Hu Xian laughed wildly, holding her son's upper arm with both hands, looking up and down carefully, and said distressedly:

"It's a lot taller. Why are you so skinny? Is it because you're not used to Jiangxi's food, or because you're too busy to take care of meals?"

"Haha, it's not true. My son eats delicious food and looks great." The sixth child raised his arms and gestured: "It's because I've been obsessed with martial arts recently and exercised too much..."

"Yo, you kid also started to practice martial arts?" Concubine Hu Xian immediately said with itchy hands: "One day we will fight with mother, let's make friends with martial arts, let's learn from each other."

"Forget it, you are going to be a noble concubine, so you should be more careful." The sixth child didn't accept the trick, he practiced martial arts purely for weight loss, fighting?I will never fight in my life.

"Scared, you know?" Concubine Hu Xian wanted to pretend to be reserved, but she was overjoyed and said: "I also want to give you a surprise."

"It's enough to be a surprise." Lao Liu laughed and said, "Today I'll have a drink with Sister Hong, and I'll celebrate with you!"

"What, what?" Concubine Hu Xian couldn't believe her ears, and asked Miao Shanggong beside her, "What did you hear him say?"

Miao Shanggong said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness said that today he wants to accompany the empress to have a good drink to celebrate with the empress."

"Oh, that's great!" Concubine Hu Xian was overjoyed immediately, as if she was more excited than hearing that she was going to be a noble concubine.Immediately ordered loudly: "What are you guys still doing in a daze? Hurry up and bring out the good wine, no need to hide it anymore!"

"Sister Hong said it as if you were hiding it?" Lao Liu teased her and said, "Is it considered hiding if you put medicinal wine on the wine jar? It's just deception, okay?"

"Of course forget it." Concubine Hu Xian said very seriously: "As long as you don't let go of your son, mother will not drink in an open and honest manner. It is also mother's love for you to lie to you."

"Then this love is really special." Lao Liu laughed and followed Concubine Hu Xian into the main hall.

In the main hall, the banquet had already been set, and the altar of high-quality shochu finally took off its disguise and saw the sun again.

The drinking and talking in Wan'an Palace was lively, so apart from Hu Xianfei, mother and son, Miao Shanggong, Wang Ma, Mu Xiang and other female officials and eunuchs all joined the table to drink.

After drinking a few times of welcome back and congratulations on promotion, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, and the female officials and eunuchs became lively.

So it is hereditary that Lao Liu likes to invite people to dinner.

When the wine was half drunk, Concubine Hu Xian insisted on toasting her son with a glass of wine.

"Why? Because my mother's greatest achievement is to give birth to a good son." Concubine Hu Xian triumphantly wrapped her arms around her sixth son, bragging to the palace people:

"It was the day of the New Year's Eve. I was drinking hot pot and drinking wine with Concubine Ning and Concubine Hui. I heard Concubine Da Ding brag about Lao Qi's meritorious service in suppressing bandits with Marquis Wu Liang of Jiangyin. You didn't listen to her bragging, it was just like It’s as if Lao Qi has made great achievements.”

The sixth child has heard about this matter.After Lao Qi made such a mess in Fengyang, his father recalled him, imprisoned him for half a year, and sent him to the army for training.

Unexpectedly, he and Wu Liang got together.However, Wu Liang's Yangtze River Navy did not make any big moves this year. They just wiped out a few Yangtze River water bandits...

"She said, at the triumphant return, Wu Liang praised Lao Qi well. Your father asked, since he likes this boy so much, why don't you let him be your son-in-law?" Concubine Hu Xian continued.

"Pfft..." Lao Liu sprayed Wang Ma's face with a sip of wine, and quickly picked up the handkerchief apologetically, and wiped his face.

No matter who the other party is, as long as it is his fault, he will definitely apologize.This is the difference between Lao Liu and all brothers.

"It's okay, it's nothing, it's a blessing for this old slave." Wang Ma said with a kind smile, "It must be beautiful."

He whispered and asked: "This marriage is not right..."

"En." Lao Liu nodded, of course something was wrong, Father already knew that it was Wu Liang who ordered the gang of pirates to attack him at sea, but wanted him to be Lao Qi's father-in-law.No matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
