Huai'an didn't know what kind of future the letter he left behind would bring to Mingyue. He got on the carriage and talked to Meng Yunshang for a while, then took the initiative to ask to go outside for a horse ride.

Lu Chenxiao was satisfied with his understanding of the situation, and not only agreed readily, but also allowed him to ride it by himself for a while.

Meng Yunshang was a little worried and wanted to persuade the father and son not to rush things.

But Huai'an himself was eager to try.

"Don't worry, mother. I have been practicing with Xuanwu and the others these days, and I can ride it by myself a long time ago. Mother, trust me."

Meng Yunshang had no choice but to remind Lu Kang to keep a close eye on him.

Lu Kang should be.

Huai'an got out of the carriage immediately and swiftly.

The impatient look made Meng Yunshang laugh, "The little guy is becoming more and more independent now."

Lu Chenxiao rarely agreed, "Not only is he independent, but he's not as clingy to you as he was at home before."

Although he still looks like he can't leave, anyone with a discerning eye can easily notice the changes in the little bastard over the past few days.

Meng Yunshang thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Before, at home, the little guy wanted to stick to her all the time, for fear that she would suddenly disappear.

But now, if she is not free, Huai'an will go hunting and fishing with Xuanwu and Xuanqi, or prepare medicine and pick vegetables with Fuling.

In short, whether she is there or not, the little one can always find something to do instead of checking whether she is around every once in a while.

"This is a good thing," emotional stability is beneficial to the little one's physical and mental health.

I believe that after some time, he will no longer feel so insecure so often.

Lu Chenxiao hummed, "Of course this is a good thing, so that you don't have to compete with me for people all day long."

Meng Yunshang stroked her forehead. This was indeed something this person could say.

When the group went there, they were in the mood to travel and enjoy the scenery, and were not in a hurry, so it took them almost ten days.

But on the way back, I was even more eager to go home.

It took less than six days to return to the capital.

While the carriages were queuing up to enter the city, Huai'an leaned against the window and sighed in a very old-fashioned manner.

"I'm finally back. I missed the food at home so much."

Lu Chenxiao raised his eyelids slightly and teased him slowly, "I never saw you eat less in the East China Sea."

"Hasn't your father ever heard of the saying, 'A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse? Although the food in the East Sea is delicious, the roast goose, roasted lamb chops, grilled lamb chops, and stewed lamb offal soup in Tianxianglou are even more delicious."

"Wow, I can't say any more. My saliva is about to flow out."

Worried that his parents wouldn't believe him, the little guy deliberately stuck out his tongue and acted like a greedy cat, which made Meng Yunshang laugh.

"Baby, since you miss Tianxianglou's food so much, why don't we go to Tianxianglou first to satisfy your craving?"

"Okay, okay, mom is the best. An An likes mom the most."

Lu Chenxiao snorted, "You only like your mother?"

Huai'an chuckled, "I like father's, too."

Finally, Lu Chenxiao was satisfied. The little guy pretended to be mature and reminded, "Hey, father is a man, don't compete with mother for favor, and don't be fussy about it with Huai'an."

Lu Chenxiao chuckled, "Who said that men can't compete for favors? Then who was it that was guarding against his own father like a thief all day long?"

Even though his past was exposed, Huai'an still played dumb with a smile, "Who is it? Mother, do you know?"

Meng Yunshang shook her head in agreement, "I don't know, could it be your father?"

Huai'an nodded mischievously, "Yes, it's my father."

Lu Chenxiao pretended to be angry and stretched out his hand to scratch Huai'an's armpit, "You little bastard, how dare you plot against your father!"

He only discovered a few days ago that the little bastard was as afraid of being tickled as he was.

It was like opening the door to a new world. On the way back, I didn't use this trick to deal with Huai'an.

Huai'an was soon tickled to tears, but he still refused to give in, "Father said I was a little bastard, so you are an old bastard!"

"Pfft!" Meng Yunshang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The look he gave Lu Chenxiao was full of gloating.

The father and son were talking quite loudly, so Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi, who were driving the carriage outside, naturally heard it as well. Seeing that the prince was speechless after being squeezed by the prince, the two of them laughed so hard that they crowed.

Just at this moment the front of the team moved forward, and the noise of their carriages quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"Whose carriage?"

In response to the inquiry, Xuan Wu took out the token and Xuan Qi hung the emblem of Prince Heng's Mansion on the carriage.

"Oh, so this is Prince Heng's Mansion. My apologies!"

Xuan Wu took back the token, nodded, and prepared to continue driving into the city.

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front, "Heng Wang and his family are back in the city?"

Lu Chenxiao paused in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and indeed saw Song Jinyan's disgusting face.

Meng Yunshang happened to be sitting in a position where she could see outside the car.

Facing Song Jinyan's excited eyes, she blurted out in disgust, "What bad luck!"

Lu Chenxiao was instantly pleased, but he casually agreed, "It is indeed unlucky, and it is extremely unlucky."

Huai'an didn't understand what his parents were talking about, but it was a rare occasion that his father stopped tickling him, so he immediately sat up and threw himself into his mother's arms.

Just at this moment, Song Jinyan came over and saluted, "Your Highness Prince Heng."

Lu Chenxiao moved his arms and legs and just happened to block Meng Yunshang behind him.

Seeing Song Jinyan's hesitation, he asked lazily, "General Song, have you taken on a new position?"

"Yes, I just took over the command of the Five Cities Army a month ago."

Lu Chenxiao was slightly stunned. After saying congratulations perfunctorily, he signaled Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi to continue driving.

As the carriage continued to move forward, Meng Yunshang's figure flashed past his eyes.

Song Jinyan couldn't help but want to follow forward, but was stopped by someone.

In the carriage, Meng Yunshang frowned in thought.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the commander of the Five Cities Army was a sixth-rank position.

Before Song Jinyan was injured and returned to Beijing to recuperate, he was General Dingyuan of Wuguan. If he had not let the Southwest Army win in the Mid-Autumn Festival competition, the incident between Chen Qimeng and Rufang would not have happened later.

The emperor would certainly be happy to give him a promotion.

But he just happened to cause so much trouble.

It is a rare opportunity to be able to stay in the command position of the Five Cities Army.

I just don’t know if the Chen family was involved in this.

And Lu Yuanjing, did he just give up on Song Jinyan as a chess piece?

At this moment, Lu Chenxiao's voice suddenly rang in my ears, "What are you thinking about?"

Meng Yunshang responded generously, "I was thinking that although the commander of the Five Cities Military Division is not as high-ranking as General Dingyuan, he is responsible for protecting the safety of the capital after all, and he is under the emperor's watchful eyes."

"If the Chen family finds an opportunity to speak well of him in front of the emperor, will he be able to be promoted easily?"

The darkness in Lu Chenxiao's eyes disappeared in an instant, and when he spoke again, there was an inexplicable chill in his voice, "You want him to get promoted?"

"That's impossible. I just think that the Five Cities Army is too cheap for him!"

The undisguised disdain in his words easily calmed Lu Chenxiao's anxious heart.

He chuckled, "I think so too!"
