The family had dinner together, and Luo Junyao and Xie Yancai said goodbye to the Luo family and returned to the Regent's Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, Xie Cheng rushed out and hugged Luo Junyao's legs and shouted: "Little Auntie Huang, you are back! A Cheng misses you so much."
Luo Junyao smiled and leaned over to pinch his little face, "I miss Ah Cheng too. Isn't Ah Cheng in the palace of the eldest princess? Why is he in the palace of the prince?"
Xie Yan and Luo Junyao were not around during this period, so it was not easy to leave Xie Cheng alone in the palace, so he could only be sent to Princess Changling's palace.
It is said that Xie Cheng, the little emperor, is also having a hard time. There is no one in the palace, and there are not many close relatives left in the royal family. As a little emperor, he has to go to the princess mansion to stay.
Xie Cheng said: "I heard from Aunt Huang that the little Aunt Huang is back, so I came back quickly."
Luo Junyao said softly: "Have you had dinner yet?"
Xie Cheng nodded and said: "The emperor's aunt said that the emperor's uncle and the little emperor's aunt would have dinner at Luo's house before coming back. She asked A Cheng to have dinner before sending A Cheng back."
"That's good." Luo Jun shook his little head and said, if A Cheng hadn't eaten yet and had been hungry waiting for them to come back, then she would feel guilty.
Xie Cheng let Luo Junyao hold his little hand and walked towards the mansion, while asking: "Little Aunt Huang, you have been out for a long time this time. Uncle Huang has also gone out, and A Cheng is the only one."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "How come there is only A Cheng? Isn't there also Aunt Huang and Sister A Ning?"
Xie Cheng said: "But Ah Cheng wants to be with the emperor's uncle and the little emperor's aunt."
"Then the emperor's uncle and the little emperor's aunt won't go out for so long, okay?"
Xie Cheng tilted his head and said, "It's okay to go out, but you have to take A Cheng with you."
Luo Junyao was a little helpless. It would be difficult to take Ah Cheng out.
If nothing else, those old scholars would probably be scared to death.
Xie Yan watched the young and old chatting happily along the way without interrupting, but just followed along leisurely.
Xie Cheng was obviously very excited because Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were back. When he returned to the room, he talked to Luo Junyao for a long time. He wanted to tell Luo Junyao all the big and small things that happened during his stay in Shangyong. It wasn't until late at night that he finally couldn't bear it.
After feeling sleepy, he fell into a deep sleep.
Luo Junyao lowered his head and looked at the child's calm face after falling asleep. He couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out to pinch the red face.
The child was sleeping soundly. He just clicked his mouth and turned his head and continued to sleep.
Xie Yan walked in from the outside, glanced at Xie Cheng on the bed and said, "Asleep."
Luo Jun shook his head and raised his right hand. Although Xie Cheng fell asleep, one hand was still holding her sleeve tightly.
Xie Yan came over, gently took her sleeves out of Xie Cheng's hands, picked up Xie Cheng and took him to the next room to be settled.
When Xie Yan came back, Luo Junyao was lying on the bed in a daze.
He raised his head when he heard the footsteps and said, "Ah Cheng seems to have grown taller."
Xie Yan nodded and said, "It is true that children of this age grow up quickly."
"I promised the Empress Dowager to take good care of Ah Cheng, but the Empress Dowager just left, and we have been away for several months. Although Ah Cheng didn't say it, I know he was a little scared," Luo Jun said.
Xie Yan walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to gently smooth the hair on her shoulders, and said: "He is the emperor, there are some things that you have to get used to."
Luo Junyao said: "He is still a child now. Children are often in an uneasy environment during their childhood, which will affect their character when they grow up."
"If Yao Yao loves him so much, A Cheng will definitely grow into a good-tempered person and become a good emperor." Xie Yan said with a smile.
Luo Junyao immediately thought of the environment in which Xie Yan had lived since he was a child. Under such an environment, Xie Yan's character did not grow distorted. Part of it was thanks to the teachings of Emperor Gaozu and the Empress Dowager to Xie Yan. The other part was probably because Xie Yan was born to be a good person.
people.
Luo Jun stood up and threw himself into his arms, hugged him and said, "I will also be very good to Ayan."
Xie Yan chuckled, nodded and said, "Well, I know, Yao Yao has always been very good to me."
Luo Junyao said: "Ayan is also very good to me, and I will treat Ayan even better."
Xie Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.
Under the dim candlelight, the two exchanged an intimate and lingering kiss.
"Little Auntie Huang! Auntie Little Emperor!"
In the early morning, before Luo Junyao woke up, he vaguely heard Xie Cheng's voice. When he slowly opened his eyes, he realized that it was already broad daylight and there was no sign of Xie Yan around him.
Luo Junyao sat up and raised his voice to Lan Yin, who was still trying to persuade Xie Cheng outside: "Lanyin, let A Cheng come in."
After a while, Xie Cheng ran in from outside.
"Little Auntie Huang!"
Luo Junyao came out of the room after changing his clothes and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng got up so early."
Xie Cheng said aggrievedly: "A Cheng thought that the little emperor's aunt had disappeared again. Yesterday, the little emperor's aunt clearly said that A Cheng could sleep with you."
Luo Junyao knelt down and looked at him and said: "It's the little emperor, I forgot. Can I apologize to A Cheng?"
Xie Cheng stepped forward, hugged Luo Jun and said, "It's not the little emperor's aunt. I know it's the emperor's uncle who doesn't let me sleep with the little emperor's aunt."
Seeing his angry look, Luo Junyao couldn't help but laugh, "Then your uncle is not at home, how about I take a nap with A Cheng in the afternoon?"
Xie Cheng's big eyes sparkled, "It's a deal!"
“It’s a deal!”
Lan Yin came in with someone carrying water, and Luo Junyao took Xie Cheng to wash up together before going out to have breakfast.
"When did Ayan go out?" Luo Junyao asked.
Lan Yin said: "There was a court meeting this morning, and the prince left before dawn. Originally, His Majesty was supposed to enter the palace today, but the prince said that the court meeting would be too long, so he would not let His Majesty go."
Luo Junyao nodded. Today is Xie Yan's first day back at the court meeting. There are naturally a lot of things that need to be discussed.
It is really hard for a child who is only a few years old and doesn't understand anything to sit in the hall for several hours.
It would be outrageous to leave early, so it would be better not to go at all.
"It will take a while for him to be free. Let's leave him alone." Luo Jun said: "A Cheng won't go to school today. Are Su Xun and the others at the princess's mansion or somewhere?"
Xie Cheng said: "Sir, he said he would not go to school today. Ah Xun and the others went home yesterday and will not come back until tomorrow. During this period, they are all living at home and go to the palace of the emperor's aunt every day or we go to the palace of the Taifu together."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's not bad."
Xie Cheng said: "A'che said that his father is coming back, and sister Aning said that brother Chengyu is coming back too. Aunt Xiao Huang, brother Chengyu and Ache's father are coming back together?"
Luo Junyao said: "Ache's father will come back early, and your brother Chengyu will probably come back with the army, so it will be later."
"I know that brother Chengyu went to fight." Xie Cheng said: "Ache's father is also a general. But..."
Xie Cheng frowned and said: "Ah Che said that his mother doesn't seem to be very happy. Little Emperor Aunt, doesn't Mrs. Yueyang Marquis like that Marquis Yueyang is back? Ah Che misses his father very much."
He was still a little envious of Ah Che.
He has never seen his father, and he knows that his father, like his mother, queen, and grandmother, are both gone.
Although Ah Che's father is often absent, he is finally coming back.
Luo Junyao sighed softly in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his little head and said: "Perhaps Marquis Yueyang has not been back for too long, and Mrs. Marquis Yueyang is not used to it."
Xie Cheng said as if he understood, "Then she will be happy once she gets used to it."
