Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

It was almost evening when Lu Chenxiao returned to the palace.

Lanterns were hung in the Japanese courtyard, swaying in the evening breeze, but the dim light had a unique beauty.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, you can clearly hear the mother and son whispering to each other.

This was not the first time he came home late, but it was the first time he felt the warmth of home.

There is home only with her, there is home only with her.

When the gate was opened, Huai'an was the first to spot him and ran out to greet him happily, "Father, you are back."

Lu Chenxiao hummed lightly and bent down subconsciously, and Huai'an took the initiative to throw himself into his arms.

Meng Yunshang followed him out and was visibly stunned when she saw Huai'an being held in Lu Chenxiao's arms, but then she was filled with relief.

"The prince is finally back. An An just said he would pick you up at the gate."

Lu Chenxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the meat ball in his arms, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were full of suspicion.

"I said that," Huai'an covered his eyes with his hands, but couldn't help peeking out from between his fingers. He explained with a smile, "I was worried that my father would get lost."

Lu Chenxiao snorted in disdain, "Do you think everyone is still breastfeeding like you?"

After saying that, he put Huai'an on the ground and put his arms around Meng Yunshang's waist.

Huai'an turned to the front of him with dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips and complained, "Father is bad, always saying that I haven't been weaned!"

"You were never weaned!"

"Nonsense!"

"Unless you stop clinging to your mother all day, I will believe that you are weaned."

"I'm just clingy, I won't fall for your tricks."

"You're a stubborn little bastard."

"You bad father, you bully the weak."

Meng Yunshang: “…”

As expected, harmony only lasts for a moment.

Emperor Yuanqing's imperial edict was quickly delivered to Princess Shun'an's mansion.

At first, Princess Shun'an was complacent, thinking that Emperor Yuanqing was frightened by her temper in the imperial study and gave her rewards to appease her.

But after Eunuch Shun read out all the content, she was completely dumbfounded.

It would be fine if Wen Liuli was given to Zhaoyang as the Crown Prince's consort, but why was he prohibited from taking concubines within three years?

Also, You Ran's title was changed from Princess to County Princess, and even if the Princess' Mansion wanted to hold a flower-viewing banquet again, it would have to wait five years.

Why, and on what basis!

Princess Shun'an was so angry that she turned away. Eunuch Shun wanted to hand her the imperial edict, but she pushed him away.

"I am not convinced. I will go to the palace to find the emperor and have a good talk with him."

"The Emperor asked me to give the princess another oral message. The princess should be thankful that Princess Heng was not hurt, otherwise the punishment she received would be more than this."

Princess Shun'an was shocked. "Is the emperor treating me like this just to vent his anger on Meng Yunshang?"

How could Meng Yunshang be so worthy of this!

Eunuch Shun remained silent but could not help sighing in his heart. Meng Yunshang could not get the emperor to stand up for her, but she was the darling of Prince Heng's heart.

"No, I still don't believe it. The emperor must have been bewitched by Meng. I am his biological aunt. How could he treat me like this?"

Princess Shunan's voice was a little softer, but her resentment remained undiminished.

"Although the prince has been granted marriage by the emperor, Princess Youran is still unmarried. Princess is highly respected, so please be careful with your words and actions."

This statement was just short of telling Princess Shun'an that minor fights were not a big deal, but in the final analysis, the honor and disgrace of their family were in the hands of Emperor Yuan Qing.

Zuo Youran was the first to understand what Eunuch Shun had reminded her. She quickly stepped forward and held Princess Shun'an, "The Emperor has his reasons for making this arrangement. Mother, let's accept his order."

After all, arms cannot twist thighs, so how can they fight against the person sitting on the dragon throne?

No matter how unwilling Princess Shun'an was, she had to swallow it for the time being. She took the imperial edict from Eunuch Shun and walked into the palace without saying a word.

There is no intention of trying to please my father-in-law at all.

Zuo Youran called her personal maid, took out a purse filled with gold leaves and handed it to Eunuch Shun.

But Eunuch Shun did not take it.

He flicked his whisk and said to Zuo Youran in a cold voice, "The county lady is a reasonable person, but we can't afford to offend these people."

These words were still echoing in Zuo Youran's ears until Eunuch Shun got on the carriage and walked a long way away.

Everyone who has dealt with Meng Yunshang knows that she is not easy to mess with, but Wen Liuli is a fool.

After suffering a loss once, instead of keeping quiet and behaving himself, he dared to use them to take revenge on Meng Yunshang.

It’s all Wen Liuli’s fault!

Not only did she lose her title of princess, but the Princess's Mansion was also unable to hold flower-viewing banquets in the future.

But Wen Liuli successfully married into the princess's mansion and became her brother's prince consort.

Humph, when Wen Liuli gets married, she must get this debt back.

In the middle of the night, Lu Chenxiao was awakened by a sneaky voice, "Prince~"

He wanted to ignore it, but the man kept shouting, and he had to get up for fear of waking up the person in his arms.

However, just as he sat up, Meng Yunshang also woke up and asked dazedly, "Huh? Is there any news about Xuanwu and Xuanqi?"

Before Lu Chenxiao could say anything, the voice outside rang out anxiously, "Princess, please understand. It is Xuanwu and Xuanqi who have returned from Princess Shun'an's residence. They said they want to report the progress to the prince and princess."

Reporting progress in the middle of the night?

Who taught them to do things this way!

Lu Chenxiao couldn't help but look gloomy.

Meng Yunshang became interested and gently pushed Lu Chenxiao, "Let's be gentle and don't wake An An."

This means that I have to go out in the middle of the night to listen to the report from the Xuanyi Guards!

It’s all Lu Ming’s fault!

Running around the palace a hundred times is still too little. I will add another hundred times next time.

Lu Ming, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly sneezed loudly.

Hey, is someone thinking about him?

However, before he could guess who was missing him, a bone-chilling voice came to his ears.

"Let them get in!"

Lu Ming shuddered and jumped back to the yard. Seeing Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi waiting for orders at the foot of the wall, he kicked them without hesitation.

"Go in quickly, the prince is waiting for you."

Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi, who were already nervous, looked at each other and walked in at the same time.

In the main hall, Meng Yunshang was forced to wrap herself in a thick cloak, and Lu Chenxiao stood beside her like a black demon.

Meng Yunshang gently pulled his sleeve and reminded him, "It's the middle of the night, don't be like this, I'm scared."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Lu Chenxiao wanted to ask what else he wanted.

But when he heard the last sentence "I'm scared", he immediately suppressed his anger and sat quietly in the chair next to him.

Not only that, he also took the opportunity to hold Meng Yunshang's hand and interlocked their fingers.

Meng Yunshang glanced at the two people's tightly clasped hands, curled her lips and smiled softly, but said nothing.

However, when I looked up, I saw two people stuck at the door.

"You guys...what happened?"

"We..." Xuan Wu retracted his steps and stepped back with a sullen look on his face. Xuan Qi on the other side did the same thing.

Then the two of them entered the door at the same time again and got stuck at the door again.

Meng Yunshang looked at Lu Chenxiao with difficulty in explaining, and asked silently, "Is this the Xuanyi Guard you trained personally who can fight ten or even a hundred enemies at once?"

Lu Chenxiao: "..."
