After her son was one month old, Ah Luo, the mother-in-law, immediately became busy again. She would go out early and come back late every day to deal with political affairs.
Brother You shamelessly asked for a long leave, so Lu Zhangyuan naturally had no reason not to do so.
Sheng Hong expressed great praise for his son-in-law's behavior and said to Xie Mingxi privately: "Brother You loves his wife and children, which is pretty good."
More than good.
If a man does not love a woman willingly, how can he give in to this step?
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "A Luo is blessed, just like me."
How lucky a woman is to find a husband who treats her wholeheartedly.
Sheng Hong was not very satisfied with this level of sweet talk and immediately said: "Brother You, there is no way he can compare with me."
Xie Mingxi was so amused that she pinched her husband-in-law's cheek: "You are even jealous of your son-in-law. Where have you lived at this age?"
Sheng Hong retorted plausibly: "How old am I? Over thirty years old is the age when a man is in his prime. There is a saying that men are like wine, which becomes more fragrant with age. How can a young man in his twenties be better?
Comparable to a mature and beautiful man like me."
Xie Mingxi was so amused that she burst into laughter.
In fact, there is some truth to these shameless boasts. Sheng Hong is thirty-six years old, mature and handsome, and has an imperial demeanor in every gesture. In comparison, Brother You looks younger and immature.
But as a father-in-law, what's the point of always being jealous and quarreling with his son-in-law?
Too childish!
"You have to change your attitude towards Brother You in the future." After Xie Mingxi smiled, she did not forget to warn: "Brother You is filial and considerate to us, gentle and considerate to A Luo, and now he is focusing on Brother Hua.
With such a good son-in-law, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Sheng Hong reluctantly hummed.
Brother You's move to take a long leave to accompany Brother Hua has really moved his cold-hearted father-in-law. Sheng Hong was just pretending to be a showman.
Xie Mingxi knew Sheng Hong so well that she smiled and said nothing more.
…
Brother You quickly felt the love and care from his father-in-law.
For example, when we have a meal together, his father-in-law will personally pick up some food for him. Although the dishes may not be to his taste, it is enough to impress Brother You.
For another example, in the past, when he greeted him and spoke, his father-in-law was lukewarm, and sometimes his words were a bit tricky. Now his father-in-law is much kinder to him, and actually cares about his food, clothing, and daily life.
For another example, when his father-in-law and A Luo were discussing politics, he would be summoned to go with them. He rarely interrupted and only listened silently, but he also benefited a lot.
His father-in-law also told him that he was taking leave now to accompany his children, and he should always pay attention to the political affairs of the court. When Brother Hua is a little older, he will return to the Hanlin Academy and receive some real work. A man must make a difference while he is alive.
Brother You hurriedly responded: "What the father said is true. My son-in-law has written it down."
The father-in-law said again: "This kingdom will one day pass to A-Luo. A-Luo will become the empress in the future, and you will be the emperor's husband. A-Luo will make arrangements for the harem, so you don't have to worry about it.
You will always be an official in the court in the future. In private, you are husband and wife. In the court, Aluo is the king and you are the minister. You must adapt to the change of status as soon as possible, and don't feel awkward."
Brother You responded sternly: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'm lucky enough to marry sister A'luo. How can I feel awkward about it."
His father-in-law looked at him with more kindness: "It's good if you can figure it out."
…
His father-in-law suddenly treated him so well. Brother You was flattered and felt a little guilty. He quietly asked A-Luo behind his back: "Sister A-Luo, what's going on with my father recently? Why are you so kind to me?"
A Luo chuckled: "Look at you, your father is frowning at you, picking up your nose, and moving his eyes. You feel depressed. Your father is being nice to you now, but you are not used to it."
So let’s just say, people are a bit mean-spirited.
Brother You thought for a while and laughed: "Isn't that right? I'm used to my father being picky and mean, but now it's suddenly changed for the better. I really feel weird."
The young couple looked at each other and smiled.
Brother Hua, who was being ignored by the side, cried out with a flat mouth, immediately attracting the attention of his parents.
A Luo hugged Brother Hua distressedly, patted her back and coaxed her softly: "Brother Hua, be good, don't cry, mother loves you the most."
A Luo was busy during the day and was nowhere to be seen, and she could only hold her son at night. But it is natural for mother and child to be close. Once in her mother's arms, Brother Hua immediately stopped crying and put his head into her arms, crawling back and forth.
.
A Luo giggled again, stretched out her finger, and gently poked Brother Hua's tender little face.
Brother You was afraid that Ah Luo's hand strength would not matter, so he reminded with a smile: "The child is still young, and his face is thin and tender. Your hand strength should be smaller and lighter. Don't poke the child's face red."
It's already too late to speak.
A Luo accidentally made Brother Hua's face turn a little red.
Before Brother You could say anything, A'luo already felt guilty. She smiled flatteringly at Brother You and said, "Brother You is right."
Brother You was so angry and funny, he took his son from A Luo's hands, his posture was much more familiar than A Luo's. Brother Hua was also more familiar with his father's arms, and he puffed his little mouth and blew bubbles at his father.
A Luo leaned her head over and made faces with Brother Hua.
At this time, Ah Luo lost all the awe-inspiring demeanor of the prince in the day, and smiled happily, like a child.
Brother You is contented with his child in his arms and his beloved wife by his side.
"Brother You," A Luo suddenly said softly, "Let's have more children in the future!"
Brother You was stunned and said subconsciously: "Are you really willing to have another child?"
As the crown prince and the future empress of Da Qi, most of A Luo's time and energy will be occupied by court affairs. And conceiving and raising a child really takes a lot of energy and physical strength.
He originally thought that after A Luo gave birth to Brother Hua, she would not have any more children.
A Luo raised her head and stared at Brother You: "Brother You, I am very greedy. I not only want to be an outstanding prince, but also a good wife and mother. My father, the queen, and my mother-in-law only have one daughter, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law.
You are the only son. It is good to be loved by your parents alone, but it is also lonely."
"I want to give Brother Hua a few more brothers or sisters. From now on, I can choose one of my children to take your surname as Lu and continue the legacy of the Lu family. Do you agree?"
Brother You, what else can you say?
He treated A Luo with all his heart, and A Luo also treated him with all her heart.
Brother You stretched out his other arm and hugged A Luo tightly: "A Luo, thank you."
A Luo nestled her head into his chest and raised the corners of her mouth with a sweet smile.
