After the prince returned to Beijing, he immediately went back to the palace to see his parents to report their duties and give them gifts.
He is used to bringing local gifts to his parents wherever he goes, which means that he is away from home and thinking about home.
It can be said that Wuyuan's family education is very successful, and the children are very sensible and filial.
At his parents' place, the prince learned that Chi Tong was almost bullied and Master Xu was imprisoned by Beiya and sentenced to death.
He wanted to go back to find Chitong right away, but Yuan Qingling told him that Chitong went to take care of his master's injury and asked him to go there.
As dusk set, and twilight gradually fell, the prince went to the workshop first, which was closed. Then he remembered that Master Xu might be recuperating at home, so he went straight to Master Xu's home.
Before looking for Master Xu to be Chitong's master, he knew everything about Master Xu clearly, and naturally he also knew his home address very well.
When he arrived at Lu's house, he saw smoke curling up from the roof, and the aroma of the food came out. He pushed open the ajar door and saw that Brother Lu was fetching water from the patio. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked back. At this sight, his knees fell first.
He softened and knelt down with a bucket of water. "Madam..." Several brothers from the Lu family ran out one after another. Seeing this, they all knelt down together, excited and at a loss.
Chitong and the old lady of the Lu family were cooking in the kitchen, and when they heard the noise, Chitong saw Brother Baozi and ran over happily to hold his hand. Her little face was full of excitement and joy, and she asked a series of questions: "You
came back?
When did you come back?
How do you know I'm here?
Where is Baozilang?
I miss Bao Zilang so much."
"I just came back today. Mom told me you were here."
The prince held her shoulders, his handsome features filled with tenderness, "Bao Zilang is in the palace, and he didn't bring him out. He misses you too. You go back and play with him tonight."
"Uh-huh!"
Just when Chitong was about to say something, she remembered that she was cooking inside and screamed, "My food is going to be burnt. Come in and sit down. We'll eat soon."
After saying that, he hurried in and ran in.
Old Mrs. Lu was kneeling on the ground, her face turned pale, she was so scared, her body was shaking like a broken leaf in the autumn wind, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.
She was unwilling to let the future crown princess cook today, but she had to do it. She said she wanted to serve the master personally. No matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she could only go in and help.
As a result, the prince came over at this time and saw with his own eyes that the future prince concubine was cooking in the Lu family's kitchen. It was terrible, it was terrible.
She was all prepared to wait for the prince's thunderous wrath, but she heard him say gently: "Get up, what are you doing kneeling?
Where is Master Xu?
Lead me in to see her."
Master Xu had a stable mentality. He saluted after seeing the prince, and he was not too excited when he spoke afterwards, but he was much more respectful than before.
But gradually the prince's affinity became as easy-going as before his identity was revealed, and everyone gradually became harmonious.
The prince stayed at Lu's house for dinner, but Mrs. Lu didn't dare to serve it. Brother Lu had no choice but to send her back to her room, then bring her the food, and let her eat alone in the room.
After dinner, the prince asked Master Xu and Chitong to learn more about the situation of the day. After listening, he did not show any anger, and even smiled slightly and said to Master Xu: "In life, you will always experience various things.
It's a terrible thing, but fortunately, the world is clear, the bad guys have nowhere to hide, and they will always be punished. You can't feel that life is bad and unsatisfactory just because of a temporary experience."
Everyone thought that the prince would be very angry. After all, the young master of the Qin family bullied Xiao Chitong, and even they were extremely angry.
But after the prince listened, it seemed as if he had heard an extremely ordinary thing, and there was not even a trace of sullenness in his eyes.
Either he is really not angry, or his state of mind is so high that people cannot see his emotions.
After the conversation, he took Chitong back to the palace. On the way, Chitong asked him, "Are you really not angry?
Don't you care about me?
You didn’t say an angry word after listening to it.”
Although she didn't know much about the world, but just now at Lu's house, everyone was confused that he wasn't angry, which made her also confused.
Anyone should be angry at bad people and bad things. This is her latest sentiment.
The prince held her little hand, smiled and said, "What matters is not what this person said, but what this person did."
