He started to cry loudly.
A hint of helplessness clearly flashed across Sheng Quan's face.
But considering that his wife was also worried about him, he did not push him away directly, but just comforted him.
"Alright, alright, let me go and greet my mother first. '740', I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Why are you twisting me around and crying like that?"
Only then did Madam Wang react.
Filial piety is the most important virtue in this era. After such a big incident, Sheng Quan's first priority upon returning was to report to Old Madam Sheng that he was safe.
But at this moment, Sheng Quan suddenly asked in a bad tone.
"By the way, where are the children?"
Madam Wang immediately said, "Changbai went out to find a friend to help you. I'll send someone to find him and bring him back. Hualan and Rulan spent the whole afternoon with me in the Buddhist temple, praying. Minglan and that kid Lu Xiao said they'd ask someone to take them to the palace to plead for you. There's no news yet, and I don't know what the outcome was."
There was no mention of anyone from Linqi Pavilion in that sentence.
Sheng Quan continued, "Don't worry about Minglan and Lu Xiao. The emperor invited them to dinner at the palace, and they returned afterward. I can see that the emperor was so lenient towards me this time, all for the sake of these two children."
Mrs. Wang was stunned: "Ah!"
His tone was full of surprise.
Then Sheng Quan continued to ask: "What about Linqi Pavilion?"
He knew that his wife was good in every way except that she loved to be jealous of Linqi Pavilion, which was why she hadn't mentioned his other children.
Madam Wang said unhappily, "Of course they are staying peacefully in Linqi Pavilion."
Sheng Quan nodded heavily. "That's good. Have someone call that rebellious son over to me. After I pay my respects to Mother, I have something to say to him."
That look was filled with resentment.
On the other side, Lu Xiao and Zhao Zhen were having a great time.
I have to say that the Royal Chef's skills are extraordinary.
Not only did he keep showing off, he also kept picking up food for Sheng Xiaoliu.
"Sixth sister, try this. This fish is really good and very delicious."
"This dish is also very delicious. You should try it too. My cooking skills are not inferior to yours."
Soon, he filled the small bowl with six servings.
Sheng Xiaoliu himself was very nervous, he just kept his head down and ate, not daring to say a word.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen, who was sitting opposite, said with joy.
"Eat slowly, no one's competing with you for it. If you really like it, I'll give you a few royal chefs when you go back later, and have them cook for you every day."
Lu Xiao looked up and said, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen didn't care at all about his casual attitude.
He didn't know why, but from the first time he saw Lu Xiao, he had always found this kid particularly pleasing to his eyes.
There was no other way. Lu Xiao was too powerful in the world of Knowing or Not, and had long since reached the state of unity between man and nature.
In this state, he exudes a strange attitude.
Anyone who is around him and has no ill will towards him will gain a lot of benefits from this position.
Such as prolonging life, being immune to all diseases, etc.
Is this the world's heavenly way of compensating him for not being able to freely use his extraordinary power?
At the same time, this stance also makes him more approachable than ordinary people.
As long as a person has a good impression of him, this good impression will become stronger as time goes by.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the darling of heaven.
At this moment, a palace eunuch walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu requests an audience."
Concubine Liu is one of the three noble ladies in the palace who recently became pregnant with a dragon seed.
She was originally just a talented person.
Because she was the first to conceive a dragon seed, she leaped over the dragon gate and became the second most powerful person after the queen and the imperial concubine.
This shows how happy Zhao Zhen was at that time.
But it's not surprising here; going from despair to hope is a joyous occasion for everyone.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Let her in."
A moment later, a beautiful woman walked in.
He wasn't actually that old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six at most, not much older than Sheng Xiaoliu.
"Your Majesty, I greet you."
As she spoke, Concubine Liu prepared to kneel down and pay her respects.
Zhao Zhen immediately said distressedly, "No need to bow. You're not feeling well right now. Didn't I tell you to stay in your room and take care of your pregnancy?"
It is well known that miscarriage is most likely to occur in the first few months of pregnancy.
This was also known in ancient times.
Zhao Zhen now wished he could be one of the pregnant concubines in the palace, lying in bed all day without moving.
Concubine Liu said, "I heard that Your Majesty has been busy in the Imperial Study all day without rest, so I cooked a bowl of Hundred Flowers Soup for Your Majesty to try. However, I didn't expect that I would arrive late."
While speaking, Concubine Liu also looked curiously at Lu Xiao and Sheng Minglan sitting next to Zhao Zhen, as well as the large number of dishes on the table.
To be honest, Concubine Liu was somewhat surprised.
She knew that His Majesty lived a very frugal life and never wasted anything.
Even if you dine alone, you usually only have a few dishes.
Rarely order a large amount at once.
"Whose child is this? Why is he so favored?"
She couldn't help but guess in her heart.
At this time, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You are so thoughtful. Since you are here, why not sit down and have something to eat together?"
Concubine Liu bowed slightly and said, "Yes."
Then he walked over and slowly sat down next to Zhao Zhen.
Only then did Zhao Zhen point at Lu Xiao and introduce him to her.
"This is the benefactor I told you about."
When these words came out, Concubine Liu's eyes widened immediately.
She knew that Zhao Zhen's health was improving day by day because of the martial arts he had received from a mysterious master.
On ordinary days, when Zhao Zhen was practicing his bodybuilding skills in the palace, he did not avoid others.
So this matter was not a secret in the palace at all.
But she really didn't expect that the mysterious master would be so young.
Then she immediately stood up and saluted Lu Xiao again.
"Thank you so much, benefactor!"
This was said with genuine feeling, not forced at all.
She knew very well in her heart that if it weren't for Lu Xiao, she wouldn't have the glory she has today.
Lu Xiao looked up at Concubine Liu, then said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is simply fate. You don't need to take it too seriously. However, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance. Both mother and child are in good health. I believe it won't be long before Your Majesty has a healthy prince."
Concubine Liu's pregnancy had only been a little over a month.
According to common sense, it is impossible to determine the gender of the baby now.
However, Lu Xiao's mental strength was too strong, and he also had a pair of all-powerful hands.
Therefore, the sex of the baby can be directly determined from the genetic level.
Chapter 194 Sheng Family Backyard
When Lu Xiao said this, Zhao Zhen and Concubine Liu were both stunned.
"What did you say? Prince?"
Zhao Zhen's voice trembled a little.
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant with a baby boy, and he appears to be healthy."
Zhao Zhen immediately asked, "Do you also know medicine?"
Lu Xiao said, "I know a thing or two. I'm a martial artist, so knowing a little bit about medicine is essential."
"I'm afraid it's more than just knowing a thing or two. You're proficient in both civil and military arts, you know the art of qi reading, and now you understand medicine. I doubt there's anything in this world you don't know."
Lu Xiao jokingly said, "That's a lot. At least I definitely don't know how to give birth to a child."
"Hahaha." Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed: "If you can even talk about this, then you must be a monster."
The tone of their conversation was not at all like that of an emperor and his subjects.
Rather, they are more like friends.
In this way, Lu Xiao and Sheng Xiaoliu had a nice meal in the palace.
When they returned, they also packed up and took away the four imperial chefs.
Eat and take again.
It is definitely rare in ancient and modern times.14
When I returned to the Sheng family, it was already midnight.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Lu Xiao heard a series of shrill screams.
"Ah~ Father, I know I was wrong~Ah~ I know I was wrong~Ah~~"
After jumping through the doorway, he immediately saw Sheng Changfeng lying on a chair in the courtyard, with two servants holding sticks standing on either side.
They hit his butt from left and right.
As for Sheng Quan, he sat inside the house, his face filled with anger.
"Beat him, beat him to death. He's been hanging out all day, hanging out with a bunch of bad friends, drinking and whoring, talking nonsense, and even talking nonsense with people from Prince Yan's side. If he doesn't learn his lesson today, sooner or later his whole family will be implicated and buried with him."
It was obvious that Sheng Quan was really frightened this time.
At this moment, everyone saw Lu Xiao and Sheng Minglan walk in.
The servants in the courtyard immediately saluted.
"Meet the uncle, Sixth Miss"
This attitude is much more respectful than before.
Obviously, the Sheng family now knew that Sheng Quan was fine this time because of the efforts of Lu Xiao and the other two.
Before Lu Xiao returned, Sheng Quan had already asked Sheng Changbai about this matter.
He finally understood why the emperor had been so polite to Lu Xiao in the palace before.
To be honest, Sheng Quan was extremely happy at this moment.
When Youyang wanted Lu Xiao to study at his home, he did not refuse.
If it weren't for this good fate, he wouldn't have been able to come back safely this time.
At the same time, he was very grateful to his sixth daughter.
After returning home this time, he thought a lot and felt that he had not paid enough attention to his sixth daughter before.
In reality, Sheng Quan treats Sheng Minglan very well.
It's not as bad as it appears in the TV series.
