"Cruff~"

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the Liang Prince's Mansion on Lingyue Mountain, Chen Yue walked out of the room in a daze with a pair of dark circles.

It felt so bad that he slept on the ground that night, and he didn't fall asleep at all.

Chen Yue walked listlessly to the pavilion halfway up the mountain, muttering from time to time: "This is not a life for people!"

After being tired and feeling depressed, Chen Yue still ran up and down the stone steps in the mountains for two laps until he was sweating profusely.

Soon, a quick-witted servant brought Chen Yue a plate of breakfast, a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of side dishes.

It seems very simple, but in fact, there are not many people who can have such a breakfast among the people. Thank God for the refugees in the Mainland of Central Plains to eat so much a day.

"Guru~Sher~"

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yue slid a bowl of white porridge into his stomach. He felt that he had improved a lot and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

"Prince, this is what the princess asked you to take to Mrs. Chu."

A crisp sound rang in Chen Yue's ears. Chen Yue looked up and saw a woman in blue clothes standing by the pavilion carrying two gift boxes.

The two gift boxes are very exquisitely packaged, which looks like the gift Ma Linger is preparing to give to Zhou Zihan.

"So it's Xiaoqing. I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Yue was slightly stunned when he saw someone.

The woman's name is Ling Xiaoqing. She was from Chen Yue's previous villager. She had a very good relationship with Ma Ling'er, but she was two or three years younger than Ma Ling'er, so she always called Ma Ling'er sisters.

Because his parents died of illness and his brother died in battle outside the pass, Ma Ling'er brought Ling Xiaoqing with her when she moved out of Xiaoshi Village.

In recent years, she has been acting as a small butler in the royal palace. Because she is from a rural background, she is extremely diligent in working, smart, and well-behaved. She is also familiar with the habits of several elders in her family, so she is very likable in the royal palace.

Ling Xiaoqing has been back to her hometown in the past six months. Because the only uncle left at home has passed away, she went back to help with the funeral, so Chen Yue has not seen her since the end of the Liaodong war.

"All things in my hometown have been handled, thanks to the princess' help," Ling Qing said softly.

A faint sadness appeared in the woman's beautiful eyes. After all, the uncle who had just passed away was her last relative.

"Let's stay in the palace from now on, we are all family members." Chen Yue joked in order to ease the low atmosphere: "Xiaoqing, you are not young now, it's time to get married. Should I ask the princess to help you find it? There are also many young heroes in Liangzhou City. As long as you can like it, we will definitely convince you."

Ling Xiaoqing's face suddenly turned red, and she muttered: "The prince is joking."

Then the young girl ran away and was still a little staggering while running.

Chen Yue looked at himself and said, "He is indeed a good girl. Who should I introduce to me like my brothers?"

...

In the Northern Liang Protectorate Mansion, Chu Yucheng was busy handling official duties, and the desks were filled with the entire table.

The military reorganization of Beiliang Road was presided over by Chu Yucheng, and Liaodong Road also had many places where Beiliang needed help, so he was so busy these days.

Chu Yucheng would stand up and smile a few times when he was busy. His daughter-in-law Zhou Zihan was sitting there.

At this moment, Zhou Zihan was erecting her big belly, holding her waist lightly with her hands, and without saying a word, she just sat here quietly watching Chu Yucheng handle official business.

Speaking of which, Chu Yucheng and Zhou Zihan were almost beaten by Zhou Zihan's parents back then. Who would have thought that this unrestrained poor family member who was once ordinary has now become the escort of Beiliangdao and a second-rank imperial court official.

Now Zhou Zihan's parents have also been taken to Liangzhou. The family lives together and visits Chen Yue's parents from time to time.

"Yucheng, Yucheng is here!"

A lazy voice sounded, and Chen Yue walked into the study immediately.

None of the servants of the Protector's Mansion knew King Liang, so Chen Yue even quit the notice and came in directly.

Lu Chenyue from the Protectorate Mansion had long been familiar with her, and found Chu Yucheng who was staying in the study in three or two steps.

"Uh, Brother Yue, why are you here?" Chu Yucheng was stunned for a moment.

"I've seen the prince."

Zhou Zihan also quickly got up and bowed.

Although she is very familiar with Ma Ling'er and has known Chen Yue for several years, she can be regarded as a lady from a noble family and still pays great attention to etiquette.

"Oh, my brother and sister are here too. I'm here to visit you. Sit and stop moving." Chen Yue quickly waved the gift box in his hand: "Nuo, Yucheng, I'm not here empty-handed this time!"

Because Chu Yucheng always said that Chen Yue was stingy, Chen Yue, who came with a gift this time, seemed particularly confident.

But in fact, he didn't know what was placed in the gift box at all. Anyway, it was prepared by Sister Ling'er, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Haha, the prince is joking, please sit down quickly." Zhou Zihan said with a chuckling.

"Yeah, it's not bad." Chu Yucheng finally put down the official document in his hand: "I've been here so many times, this time I've brought something."

"Ahem, what are you talking about? We are not an old acquaintance, why do we need so many vain gifts?" Chen Yue said to himself: "I think my brother and sister are about to give birth. When the time comes, I will be brothers with my An'er. If I have a daughter, I will be in-laws."

"Take it down, my daughter must have been like a flower and a jade-like child. It would be a big loss to marry your family." Chu Yucheng curled his lips.

"Haha, Yucheng, how could you say that Prince? Prince, it depends on your bad complexion. Is it because you are too busy in the inspection and have not had a good rest?"

Zhou Zihan, who was quick-minded, saw two dark circles facing Chen Yue at a glance, and there seemed to be a little blood in his eyes.

"Ahem, yes, I'm exhausted from inspecting the seven states." Chen Yue's cheeks turned red inexplicably and he responded casually.

Chu Yucheng squinted his eyes seriously and said in a pretentious manner: "I think it's because the family disciplined. The prince couldn't sleep well last night? Anthracene?"

Although Chu Yucheng's words are extremely obscure, no one here can hear the meaning of the words.

Chen Yue's face turned redder and he didn't say a word. Zhou Zihan chuckled out of the study with great tact, giving the place to the two brothers.

“Crunch~”

When Chen Yue saw Zhou Zihan go out, he twisted his neck a few times and heard the bones creaking.

"What did you say just now? My Lord Chu." Chen Yue's eyes suddenly became sinister.

Chu Yucheng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's nothing, nothing, ahem, Brother Yue, I'll report to you about military affairs."

"There is no hurry to military affairs." Chen Yue approached Chu Yucheng step by step and whispered: "Let's solve what happened just now first."

Chu Yucheng stepped back in horror and shouted, "Save me, wife!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Ahhhhh~"
