Qi Yun and others were silently thinking about who this familiar young talent standing next to the little cutie was.
The queen's words of surprise suddenly woke them up. The women who knew Wanyan Feixiong looked at each other in surprise and hurriedly approached him. They looked at Wanyan Feixiong in disbelief. He had not changed much but was not small either.
“Flying bear? You are a flying bear.”
Wanyan Feixiong patted the little cutie's hair, walked up and bowed to the surprised beauties.
“Eldest sister, sisters-in-law, my younger brother Wanyan Feixiong is so polite.”
“No courtesy!”
“Hurry up and get out of the way!”
“No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite.”
The Queen stared at Wanyan Feixiong for a while, her bright eyes slightly moist.
Chuckled lightly and raised his hand to hammer Wanyan Feixiong on the shoulder: "You brat, didn't you go back to the Kingdom of Jin with Uncle Wang?
Why did you come to Dalong without saying a word? I didn’t know to inform my sister in advance. The road has been blocked by heavy snow for a long time. What do you want my sister to do if something happens on the road? "
Qi Yun and her sisters-in-law, who were familiar with Wanyan Feixiong, also looked at Wanyan Feixiong curiously.
“Sister Wanyan said it right, why didn’t you write a letter in advance to inform me that you are coming to Dalong?
Dalong is so far away from the Kingdom of Jin, and there is no one to take care of him on the way. If it’s bah bah bah, it’ll be good if he gets there, he’ll be fine if he gets there.”
"You brat, after so many years of separation, you have grown a lot taller and matured a lot. My sister-in-law and I almost don't recognize you anymore."
Qi Yun and others were quite friendly towards Wanyan Feixiong, who was temporarily living in the Liu Mansion and made waves from time to time, and treated him like his own brother-in-law.
Especially when Wanyan Feixiong took out ginseng and saved the lives of her husband and Qinglian who were in danger, Qi Yun and the others were inexplicably grateful to Wanyan Feixiong from the bottom of their hearts.
When he was about to leave the Liu Mansion and return to the Kingdom of Jin, not only his eldest brother Liu Mingzhi, but also his sisters-in-law, who had been with him day and night for several years, also felt sorry for him and hoped to keep him and settle down in Dalong.
It’s just that Wanyan Feixiong, who had already made up his mind to go, was never left.
It has been many years since the young boy who jumped up and down in the Liu Mansion and made Liu Mansion jump about from time to time has grown up and he is roughly half a head taller than his husband.
Wanyan Feixiong looked at Qi Yun and the others' sincere eyes towards him, looked sadly around the Dragon Palace under the gloomy sky, and smiled softly at the girls.
“I had to go back to the Kingdom of Jin, and it took me several years.
Now that the world is unified, the eldest sister and Xiao Yue'er have also come to Dalong to make their home.
I was idle in the Kingdom of Jin, so I said goodbye to Uncle Wang on a whim, thinking of coming to Dalong to see my sister and Xiaoyue'er, and to wish my godfather and godmother a happy new year.
Due to various reasons, I haven’t had much correspondence with the two elders over the years. Now that the world is peaceful, if I don’t come to visit the elders, they should accuse me of being heartless.
Having to eat and sleep outdoors in the wind and snow all the way, I hurried slowly and hurriedly, and finally arrived in the capital in time for the year before.
I originally planned to go to Liu Mansion to meet my godfather and stepmother first, but unexpectedly I met Xiao Yue'er and Yaoyao on the street, and Yiyi and the other three sisters were wandering around.
Yue'er insisted on dragging me into the palace, so I had no choice but to come to the palace first.
By the way, where is eldest brother? Isn’t he with you?”
"Your eldest brother has gone to the imperial study. Why don't you let Yue'er lead you first, and then you go and see him."
“Don’t be in a hurry, brother, since he must have something serious to do when he goes to the imperial study, so don’t disturb him yet.
It's enough to meet you, eldest sister and sister-in-law. It's not convenient for me to stay in the palace for a long time. Little brother, I will go with Yue'er to buy some gifts and then go to Liu Mansion to meet my godfather and stepmother.
Let’s meet at the Liu Mansion.
"What's the hurry? You can go into the palace to have a cup of tea to warm yourself up and rest your feet."
“It’s okay, I just need to see you. My younger brother and Yue’er will leave the palace first.”
Qi Yun stretched out her hand to stop her: "Wait a minute!"
"sister in law?"
“Aunt Yun?”
Qi Yun took out a banknote from her sleeve and stuffed it into the little cutie's hand: "Yue'er, your uncle has time. Don't forget to pay when you buy gifts for your grandpa and grandma."
The little cutie was not polite at all. She took the banknote and stuffed it into her coat, then pulled Wanyan Feixiong and walked out of the harem.
“Mother, aunts, Yue’er and uncle are leaving first.”
Qi Yun patted the Queen on the shoulder: "Sister, don't worry, we will see you in less than half a day, go back and prepare first."
The Queen wiped the corners of her eyes inadvertently and nodded her head slightly.
"good!"
Outside the imperial study room, Liu Mingzhi walked out with a calm expression.
“Xiao Chengzi!”
“Your Majesty, tell me!”
“Go and tell Yun’er that I have something to do and I want to go out of the palace. Let them pack up and take the children back first. I’ll go back when I’m done.”
“According to the decree, should we rush back in time to accompany you?”
"No."
"yes!"
“By the way, during the few days since I have been away from the palace, you can instruct the imperial study room to make a good meal to comfort the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and give each of them two taels of silver.
Just take the money from the inner treasury. I, the one who deserves to reward you, will not miss out on you. You must not eat anything from it. Let me know that it will be easier for you."
“Yes, yes, yes, we will not dare to waste a single coin, and I will send it to your majesty respectfully.”
“Well, let’s go get busy.”
“Let’s quit!”
Liu Mingzhi left the harem alone, exchanged a few words with the imperial guards guarding the palace gate, and walked alone towards the civilian alley in the east of the city.
Outside the prince's old residence, Liu Mingzhi looked around and jumped into the courtyard wall.
Having stepped through the snow and entered the inner courtyard, Gao Jin's cautious voice came over.
“Bold, who is your Majesty?
This old slave didn’t know that Your Majesty was coming, so I went to see His Majesty.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the sharp ax in Gao Jin's hand, and then at the neatly arranged firewood pile beside him.
“No need to be polite, get up!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“Didn’t I tell you before to find some servants and come back with the maid? Why now it’s your turn to chop wood!”
Gao Jin turned around and looked at the main hall not far away, and shook his head with a wry smile.
“The queen likes to be clean more and more, and won’t let me recruit servants to come back and serve her.
After the little princess was born, the Queen Mother only found a wet nurse, two maids, and two cooks to serve her.
In addition, the empress said that there is no man at home, so it will be inconvenient to find a servant to come back.
We didn’t look for it, but we have nothing to do at home, so we can find something to do to relieve our boredom.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded understandingly: "As long as you don't feel tired, if you can't handle it all by yourself in the future, just come and talk to me and I'll send a few people over to help you."
“Yes, yes, thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty.
We will finish chopping as we still have some tea, Your Majesty, please go in first."
“Okay, it’s getting cold, so take more rest when you’re tired.”
“Yes, we know.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Gao Jin who was sitting on the wooden bench and preparing to chop firewood again, and walked towards the main hall with sighing eyes.
At present, there are so many eunuchs who are familiar with each other.
Except for Su An, Lao Zhou, Zeng Hai, Qian Lu, Fu Hai, Gao Jin, and Xiao Dezi are all good people. They all fulfill their duties and are loyal to their Lord.
Lao Zhou, the ancestor of the past, set a good example for them!
I hope Xiao Chengzi won’t let herself down either.
“Jie’er, I’m coming in!”
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he opened the door and walked in.
The first thing I saw was two little maids who were cleaning the stove, looking at me blankly.
“Who are you? Uncle Gao, Uncle Gao, come quickly!”
"Hong'er, Lu'er, don't shout, please step back first!"
Chen Jie’s words behind the screen calmed down the panicked expressions of the two maids. They glanced at Liu Mingzhi curiously and bowed to the screen.
“My slave, please retire.”
“Sister-in-law Wang, please leave my mother to the Ai family. You should also step back.”
“Yes, the civilian woman resigned.”
Behind the screen, a plump woman walked across the screen with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered. Without even looking at Liu Mingzhi, she walked out of the room and closed the door.
