The Xu family's doorman happily ran to the second door with a letter, handed it to the woman who was delivering the message, and said, "There is a letter from Grandma Wu. Mom, please take it in quickly!"
Xu Chunjun is already married, and everyone in the Xu family calls her Fifth Aunt Grandma.
"Isn't there anything sent together this time?" asked the woman who was delivering the message.
I don't blame her for asking, because every time Xu Chunjun writes a letter, he will bring a lot of things at the same time.
She is responsible for communicating things, and she must communicate things clearly, otherwise she will be blamed.
"No, just this letter." The doorman said, "It was sent by the bank clerk from the south. He said that Grandma Wu will be returning to Beijing soon."
"But it's nonsense. Why did you come back to Beijing in such a good way? It will take three years for me to serve as magistrate of Chenzhou." The mother-in-law didn't believe it.
"It's true, the guy told me this several times," the doorman said, "If you don't believe it, you'll know after the ladies read the letter."
The mother-in-law took the letter in doubtfully. Mr. Xu happened to be at home today.
When I heard that Xu Chunjun had written a letter, I asked Xu Daoqing to read it to him.
Xu Daoqing opened the letter and recognized Xu Chunjun's handwriting.
Xu Chunjun said in the letter that she had not been in good health recently. It happened that the King of Huaiyang was in Beijing, so she also went back to her parents' home on the ship to recuperate.
He also told his family not to worry, as they would be taken care of on the road.
Besides, it only took about half a month to get home.
"This..." Mr. Xu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, "It's not long after Chunjun gave birth, why is he coming back? Although he is going to Beijing by boat, he will inevitably be tired along the way."
"Father, don't worry too much. Fifth sister has always been a stable person. She must have her own reasons for returning to Beijing." Xu Daoqing persuaded, "I will ask someone to clean up a room for her."
After Xu Daoqing went out, Mrs. Qin said to Mr. Xu: "I wrote a letter before saying that Chunjun's child was not saved. I think she must be very sad. In addition, her vitality was damaged during the birth, so it would be better to come back and raise her."
Mr. Xu sighed and said, "Oh, who would have thought it would be like this. Chunjun is really suffering. When she comes back, let her live at home for a few months."
Although she is a married daughter, when she returns to the Zheng family, after all, she has a grandmother and a mother-in-law, so the etiquette cannot be too lacking."
"What the Master said is true," Ms. Qin nodded, "Chunjun has a very strong temperament, and she will never lack etiquette or leave the family alone just because she is not feeling well.
It would be most suitable to raise her in her parents’ home, and the two wives who want to come to the Zheng family won’t mind.”
"I'm afraid that she will be wronged there," Mr. Xu was very worried, "otherwise, how could she come back?"
"Maybe there are other things, please don't think too narrowly, sir." Mrs. Qin gently advised, "That kid, Chunjun, has always been the smartest and wisest."
Xu Chunjun had someone bring the letter back three days before he set off, so within five days of the Xu family receiving the letter, Xu Chunjun had already entered Beijing.
Xu Daoan and Xu Daoqing went to pick her up at the pier. Seeing that Xu Chunjun was dressed and in good spirits, they felt relieved.
After all, the pier was not a place to talk, so Xu Daoan said: "Get in the car quickly, my family is waiting."
Zi Ling and Ah Li came back with Xu Chunjun.
Fang Fei fell asleep and Zi Ling hugged her. Xu Daoan and the others thought that Zi Ling had given birth to another child after arriving in Chenzhou.
Xu Lang also heard that Xu Chunjun was going back to Beijing, so he went back to his parents' home early today.
After not seeing each other for many years, it is natural to feel a mixture of sadness and joy when we see each other again.
Everyone gathered around Xu Chunjun and asked questions, and it took a long time before they finally became quiet.
Xu Chunjun brought back a lot of things, mostly gifts for his family.
He deliberately took Xu Daoqing's wife Han's hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, this is the first time the two of us have met. I was not able to catch up with you when you got married.
This pair of bracelets is my favorite. I’ll give you one and each of us sisters will wear one.”
As he spoke, he took off a white jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on Han's hand.
Although Han's family background was not high, he was polite and sensible. He thanked Xu Chunjun with a smile and said: "Fifth sister, it's great to have you back. I heard about your name when I was a child. It's really amazing."
Thinking of being able to become a family with you."
"Third sister-in-law, don't say that. What's my name?" Xu Chunjun smiled, "I heard from An Nuan that you are outstanding before, but now I really hit it off when I met you."
At this time, Fang Fei woke up, and Xu Chunjun took her over.
"This child..." Second Mistress Song asked.
"I adopted him," Xu Chunjun said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then they all praised the child: "This little baby looks really good."
"Be good and don't cry when you wake up."
Xu Chunjun thought that the time was not yet ripe, so he should hide it from his family for now.
Imperial concubine Cen Yunchu has been banned for more than a month.
The emperor did not allow anyone to visit her, but he would go there every now and then.
The emperor came to Yucheng Palace after leaving the morning court.
Cen Yunchu was playing with the fifth prince under the sycamore tree. When he saw the emperor coming, he asked Linxi to take the child aside first.
"The weather has been a bit cold these days, why don't you wear more clothes?" The emperor reached out and brushed Cen Yunchu's shoulder.
"If you fall out of favor, you have to feel like you've fallen out of favor, right?" Cen Yunchu smiled slyly.
"You are really getting more and more naughty." The emperor held her lovingly in his arms, "I know you are just acting."
"I heard that the King of Huaiyang came to Beijing." Cen Yunchu said.
"Yes, the big fish has taken the bait," the emperor said.
"Then Chunjun should be back too." Cen Yunchu said and looked up at the sky, just as a formation of wild geese flew overhead.
"I don't know what kind of information she holds against King Huaiyang." The emperor also watched the formation of wild geese passing by in the sky.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the sky is particularly high.
"The King of Huaiyang is very cunning. He wants to read all the letters sent by Chunjun and others, whether they are official letters or private letters.
Therefore, the real evidence of crime must not be delivered through letters. If someone is sent back to the capital, it is probably unreliable and more likely to be silenced halfway." Cen Yunchu knew the methods of King Huaiyang, and the emperor naturally knew it too.
So when they got the news that Chunjun was returning to Beijing this time, they knew that she must be coming back with important news.
"In half a month, the crown prince will have his coronation ceremony, and it's time for you to lift your confinement." The emperor patted Cen Yunchu.
"The King of Huaiyang is here to cheer for his grandson this time," Cen Yunchu said with a smile, "It is said outside that I was grounded by Your Majesty because I wanted to compete for Chen'er as the crown prince.
At such a critical time, of course the queen must summon the King of Huaiyang to the capital to feel at ease."
