Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Chapter 258 It’s better to lack than to waste

"Not long ago, your eldest brother attended a poetry gathering, and the youngest daughter of the Qin family recited a poem in public to confess her love for him. When the poetry gathering was about to end, the youngest daughter of the Qin family was pushed into the water, and Wen Linglong was accused of being the murderer behind it."

Lu Chenxiao said it very calmly, but Meng Yunshang could hear the hidden danger in it.

As the young lady of the Qin family and the younger sister of Concubine Li, Qin Ruoyi must have a lot of people protecting her. How could she be pushed into the water?

And this was after she confessed her love to Meng Jinyou in public.

It would have been fine if Meng Jinyou was not there, but if he had seen it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult to decide whether to save him or not.

As for Wen Linglong, it was already very strange that she left her business behind and went to attend that poetry reading, and she was even accused of being a murderer.

More importantly, she had been back in Beijing for several days, but Wen Linglong hadn't said a word.

If I hadn't been brought by Lu Chenxiao to watch the show today and heard these conversations.

She was afraid that she would continue to be kept in the dark.

Thinking that the matter concerned her own brother after all, Meng Yunshang gently tugged at Lu Chenxiao's clothes and pointed in the direction of Hefeng Courtyard.

Lu Chenxiao understood immediately and hugged the person back to Hefeng Courtyard.

After landing steadily on the ground, Meng Yunshang could not wait to ask, "Your Majesty, do you know who rescued Miss Qin in the end, and who actually pushed her?"

Lu Chenxiao remained silent, looking at Meng Yunshang with a meaningful look.

Meng Yunshang was filled with questions when he looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I asking the wrong question?"

"Why don't you tell me first, Shang'er, why do you care so much about Qin Ruoyi? Is it because she is the youngest daughter of the Qin family?"

The undisguised jealousy in his words made Meng Yunshang immediately understand the deep meaning behind his words.

She chuckled softly and grabbed someone's ear out of itchiness.

"If I don't answer, will you just assume that I care about her because she is Qin Yimo's sister?"

Lu Chenxiao's thoughts were touched, but he didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he smiled and praised her, "Shang'er is really smart."

Meng Yunshang: “…”

I really can't be proud of it at all.

But at least he raised the question directly this time instead of being jealous and making her angry.

So she was happy to explain herself proactively.

"Like you said before, if my brother really likes someone, he will definitely find a way to marry that person home."

"Since he never mentioned Miss Qin in front of us, he must have no interest in her. But I'm worried that the drowning was a conspiracy against him, and I want to know if he escaped safely."

Lu Chenxiao was very pleased with her explanation and held her in his arms with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, he's not stupid. How could he jump into a trap knowing it was a trap? Qin Ruoyi was finally rescued by a maid. Afterwards, the Qin family did intend to find a matchmaker to mediate, but your brother crushed all the Qin family's hopes."

"As for who the real culprit is, that is not our concern."

Meng Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, at least her elder brother wasn't being blamed.

It’s just that he and Wen Linglong…

Lu Chenxiao saw through her thoughts at a glance and reminded her in a low voice, "No one wants to live with someone they don't love for a lifetime, we don't, and your brother doesn't either."

Meng Yunshang nodded lightly.

My eldest brother would rather be alone than be with someone who is not the right one, and he would never settle for anything less than love.

"The Wen family learned that Wen Linglong lived in the palace and secretly looked for her several times."

"What does the Wen family want to do?"

"I guess they think they can rely on us, so they want to use me to help those useless people in the Wen family get some official positions."

Meng Yunshang could tell that he disliked the Wen family, and asked hesitantly, "Have I caused you any trouble?"

At that time, he just thought that Wen Linglong had business talent and happened to have nowhere to go, so he brought her into the palace.

Who would have thought that the Wen family would take this opportunity to shamelessly cling to me.

Lu Chenxiao shook his head, "You will never be a problem to me."

"As for the Wen family, I have plenty of ways to deal with them, don't worry. You are still the same as before, do whatever you want, your man is there for you."

Such unique preference and trust can easily make people fascinated.

Meng Yunshang took the initiative to give him a sweet kiss, and Lu Chenxiao was so happy that he immediately carried her back to his room and kept her company.

*

November 28th is the birthday of Concubine Chen.

A banquet was held in the palace and all the ministers were invited to celebrate.

The Prince Heng's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were among the invited guests.

Lu Chenxiao got up early and took Huai'an to practice boxing in the yard.

After finishing a set of boxing, the little guy couldn't wait to go back to the house and call for help.

"Mom, mom, get up quickly. It's snowing outside."

Meng Yunshang opened her eyes and met the little guy's big watery eyes, feeling very happy.

"Good morning, baby An An~"

"Good morning, my sweet mother!"

Meng Yunshang was amused and held Huaian's little face and wanted to give him a kiss.

However, just as he sat up, he found that Huai'an was being carried away for a long distance.

"Father, what are you doing!?"

Huai'an is so angry!

Lu Chenxiao asked calmly, "You just came back from outside and you are freezing cold. What if you freeze your mother?"

Huai'an looked down and saw the snowflakes on the corners of his clothes that had not yet melted. His face suddenly fell, as if it would be easy for his mother to be frozen.

However, he is a smart baby and can think of a solution quickly.

So, the little guy waved his chubby hands and shouted to Meng Yunshang, "I'm going to change my clothes right away, mommy, wait for me~"

Meng Yunshang was amused and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Mother is waiting, baby, be careful with your steps and don't walk too fast."

"Okay, okay!"

The little guy was originally running so fast that smoke was coming out of his butt, but he immediately slowed down after hearing these words, and did not forget to turn around and smile at Meng Yunshang with a smile on his face.

Meng Yunshang's heart instantly softened when she saw this.

Lu Chenxiao's voice came from his ears, "It's cold today, shall we wear the newly made dark purple cotton robe together?"

Meng Yunshang tilted her head and asked softly, "All the officials are here today, don't you need to wear the prince's robe?"

Lu Chenxiao shook his head in disdain, "No, it's more interesting to wear the same one as you, and then put on the purple jade pendant, then everyone will know that we are a family."

This is his unique way of asserting his sovereignty.

Meng Yunshang did not miss the smugness in his eyes and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at his childish behavior.

I wanted to remind him that in such occasions, there are rules that must be followed according to their status.

There are regulations on clothing and makeup.

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

Forget it, let him be happy. He is not the kind of person who plays by the rules anyway.

Her silent indulgence fueled Lu Chenxiao's complacency.

The family of three changed their clothes smoothly and tied purple parent-child jade pendants to each other.

While enjoying breakfast peacefully, the housekeeper hurried into Hefengyuan, accompanied by Gu Tang, who was dressed in armor.

Without waiting for Lu Chenxiao to ask, Gu Tang spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, something happened in the Beijing Guard Camp, please go and take a look."

Lu Chenxiao looked at him fiercely, "Speak clearly."

"Someone is causing trouble. General Qian tried his best to suppress it but the effect was not good. Now it has affected the entire West Camp."

The matter was already very serious if it could affect the entire West Camp. No wonder Qian Fushun asked Gu Tang to come to the palace for help.

Seeing that Lu Chenxiao seemed to be worried, Meng Yunshang gently touched Lu Chenxiao and urged him, "Go and deal with it quickly. Huai'an and I will go to the palace first, and you can join us after you are done."

"Then let Lu Kang take you there, I'll follow shortly."

Meng Yunshang shook her head. "Lu Kang has been with you the longest and has the best tacit understanding with you. I feel more at ease letting him go with you. We only need Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi here."

Lu Chenxiao nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Before leaving, he waved to Huai'an, and when Huai'an came closer, he whispered a few words in Huai'an's ear.

Then Huai'an nodded solemnly, "I understand, father, don't worry!"
