Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The study room of Prince Heng’s Mansion at the same time.

Lu Hetai sat in the chair feeling very uncomfortable. Opposite him, behind the desk, Lu Chenxiao was flipping through official documents with an expressionless face.

Time passed little by little, and Lu Chenxiao didn't say a word, but Lu Hetai became more and more nervous, with beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

Finally, he couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness called me here this time, but did my son, who is naughty, annoy His Royal Highness?"

Lu Chenxiao responded without raising his eyelids, "Lu Er is very good, the prince likes his class very much."

"Then the prince is looking for me..."

"Empress Chen is pregnant."

"Ah!" Lu Hetai was shocked, "Then the virtuous concubine..."

Before this, Empress Chen was banished to the cold palace, and the palace affairs were managed by Concubine Xian.

Now that Empress Chen is pregnant, won't she soon regain favor and take charge of the harem again?

Thinking about how Empress Chen and her daughter had always been at odds, and now that she was pregnant, if her daughter could not successfully avoid her attention, she would probably suffer injustice.

"I beg Your Majesty to give me some advice," Lu Hetai knelt down with a thud.

So far, there has been no news of Empress Chen's pregnancy released in the court, but Prince Heng knew about it early and specially called him over.

Lu Hetai is not very smart, but he is definitely not a completely stupid person.

Although the Lu family has been passed down for many years, they are already at the bottom of the social ladder. Without a strong backer, they will soon be forgotten by the crowd.

Now that King Heng has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, he must seize the opportunity.

Lu Chenxiao finally raised his head from the official documents, but the first words he spoke were extremely cold.

"Do you think this king is very idle?"

"I dare not," Lu Hetai lowered his head hurriedly.

"I am an uneducated person. If you give me any advice, I will definitely follow your lead."

Lu Chenxiao bent his index finger and tapped the table casually, one after another, in a very rhythmic manner.

Lu Hetai felt uneasy when he heard this, and sweat broke out on his forehead even more.

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Chenxiao's knocking on the table finally stopped. Lu Hetai looked up cautiously, and the moment he met Lu Chenxiao's gaze, his back was almost completely wet.

"King, lord..."

"I intend to let Lu Er take up a post in the Ministry of Works. What do you think, Lord Lu?"

Lu Hetai was surprised and delighted, and knocked his forehead loudly on the floor, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Regardless of the position, it is a great blessing to have an official in the family.

"As for Lord Lu...I want to know the movements of the Chen and Lin families."

"This..." Lu Hetai was shocked and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The Chen family is the head of the aristocratic families, and the Lin family is also a strong family. How could a lowly person like him easily control them?

As if seeing his hesitation, Lu Chenxiao reminded him lightly, "When Queen Chen is free, will Concubine Xian still be able to take care of the Lu family?"

Of course I can't take care of it.

The Queen Chen was already very difficult to deal with, not to mention that she is pregnant now. The Chen family and other noble families will definitely do everything they can to serve her.

And his daughter was isolated and helpless in the palace. Not to mention taking care of her parents' family, she might even have difficulty protecting herself.

After some hesitation, Lu Hetai finally agreed to Lu Chenxiao's request.

When he walked out of the study, Lu Ming appeared beside Lu Chenxiao, "My Lord, Prince Yu has taken people to Longwu Mountain to rescue people overnight, and Song Jinyan is also in the team."

Lu Chenxiao sneered silently, a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Find a way to let the Song family know that Miss Chen San is destined to have many children and grandchildren."

"Your Highness, are you trying to pair Song Jinyan and Chen Qimeng up? But Song Jinyan already has a wife, and the Chen family would definitely not be happy with their legitimate daughter becoming a concubine."

Lu Chenxiao glanced at him calmly, "This is your business!"

Lu Ming: "???"

What does it have to do with him if Song Jinyan gets married?

"If you don't have a brain, ask Danqiu to borrow one."

Lu Ming: "!!!"

He has brains, okay?

And it’s also very useful.

However, when the prince mentioned Danqiu, he understood instantly.

He didn't understand the affairs of women, but there were many stories of marriages due to pregnancy in the storybooks.

"Does the prince want to make things a fait accompli between Song Jinyan and Chen Qimeng?"

Lu Chenxiao did not deny it.

Lu Ming continued to guess, "Song Jinyan intends to secretly surrender to Prince Yu, but Prince Yu has always been suspicious. The prince deliberately let Song Jinyan become the son-in-law of the Chen family, and Prince Yu will definitely feel alienated from him."

By then, Song Jinyan will most likely end up with nothing and end up in vain, with neither end benefiting him.

I have to say, their prince is really good at calculating.

Lu Ming gave Lu Chenxiao a thumbs up in a frivolous way, "High, it's really high!"

Lu Chenxiao sneered, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Lu Ming: I'm already honest, please let me go!

After the night, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Meng Yunshang received the mooncakes sent by Cheng early in the morning. There were her favorite osmanthus filling, Huai'an's favorite red bean paste filling, and Lu Chenxiao's favorite lotus seed paste filling.

Meng Yunshang was happy and asked Danqiu to put the mooncakes on the table.

Just then, the father and son came back for breakfast and were surprised to see mooncakes on the table.

Because in the past few years, such occasional food has never appeared on their tables.

Huai'an pointed at the round mooncake and asked eagerly, "Mom, is this delicious?"

Meng Yunshang picked up a red bean-filled one and handed it to Huai'an, "Try it?"

Huai'an took it with both hands, took a bite, and then nodded with shining eyes, "Mm, it's delicious, the best mooncake I have ever eaten."

Because it was given by my mother, it tastes the best.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty."

Worried that the little guy would choke, Meng Yunshang fed him milk.

Huai'an lowered his head and took a sip, allowing a white circle to stain his little mouth.

So cute and adorable, and so well-behaved.

Meng Yunshang wanted to give him her heart.

Someone who was ignored at the side suddenly became dissatisfied.

He coughed twice, attracting Meng Yunshang's attention, "Where are my mooncakes?"

Meng Yunshang raised her chin towards the table and said, "Your Majesty, just take whatever you want to eat."

"But I prefer the ones the princess brings me, and I also want to drink milk."

"But didn't you complain that milk was too fishy and too sweet before?"

He also said that it was something only women would drink.

Are you planning to become a woman now?

“Before was before and now is now.”

Meng Yunshang realized belatedly that this man was arguing with her son again.

"Don't make a fuss. Let's set off early. First, deliver the gift I prepared for mother to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then go to the palace with my eldest brother."

Lu Chenxiao hummed lightly, but still stared at the mooncake closest to Meng Yunshang.

It's obvious that he wants to be fed.

Meng Yunshang had no choice but to pick up the lotus-flavored mooncake and feed it to his lips.

The anger between the man's brows instantly disappeared, and he happily bit into the mooncake.

The mooncake was not big and an adult could swallow it in one bite, but that person was shameless and insisted on taking small bites. Finally, he opened his mouth wide and held Meng Yunshang's finger.

He even sucked it mischievously, which frightened Meng Yunshang, who quickly withdrew her hand and kicked someone under the table without hesitation.

Huai'an, who was already drinking milk from a bowl, tilted his head in confusion, "Hey, what's that sound?"

Meng Yunshang's pretty face turned red, and she glared at someone unhappily, as if to say, you deserve it for acting so recklessly in front of your son.

Lu Chenxiao put his arm around her waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and said to Huai'an, "Drink more milk and talk less, otherwise you won't grow taller."

Huai’an: “???”
