Chapter 192 Return to Beijing

After Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen left Fuzhou Prefecture, they headed south, passed through the Lingnan region, and ate seasonal lychees to their heart's content.

He also traveled along the Guizhou Provincial Government, Sichuan Provincial Government, Huguang Provincial Government, and Shanxi Provincial Government while inspecting the land survey situation. It was already the twelfth lunar month when he returned to the capital.

Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen sent gifts back in advance on the occasion of their father's birthday. Since the beginning of the year, whenever they left the capital, they would bring back several portions of local specialties along with letters to the capital whenever they passed by a place.

The most of them must belong to her father, the emperor, as well as her father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and the three little ones (no, actually there are five little ones, the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son, and the second sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter), Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, the Crown Princess, Xu Siyu and the fifth princess.

Rong Yue knew that he had received many more gifts than others, and he was extremely satisfied. His daughter Chen and Zhen Zhen were indeed the most filial to him, their father.

Zhenzhen is indeed a very good girl, but Rong Yue is a little anxious. When can he see Chen'er become a father?

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Zhenzhen. It didn't matter if they didn't have children. Chen'er didn't have to be the emperor anyway, so it would be best if he had one.

Of course, Su Zhenzhen didn't know what Rong Yue was thinking. She felt extremely happy and that being alone with her boyfriend was really comfortable.

Rong Jinchen had the same idea. He just wanted to be with Qingqing day and night. Why would he want to have a baby so early?

So he took another contraceptive pill this year before its effectiveness wore off. One pill lasts for a year.

After returning to the capital, Su Zhenzhen keenly discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the capital.

This feeling became even stronger after entering the palace.

Prince Jin Rong Jinyu fell out of favor because he was implicated in the cheating in the imperial examinations in Jiangnan, but His Majesty did not seem to have any intention of favoring Crown Prince Rong Jinyou more. Instead, he sent the fifth prince, Prince Chu Rong Jinyan, to the Ministry of Personnel to observe government affairs.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Princess of Yan!" Yu Fuhai burst into tears upon seeing Rong Jinchen and Su Zhenzhen. "Your Royal Highness the Prince of Yan! His Royal Highness the Princess! You've finally decided to return to the capital! I've missed you so much!" God knows last year was the most fulfilling year Yu Fuhai had ever had since His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan arrived at the border!

This year, His Majesty has been losing his temper constantly. When Prime Minister Su is not on duty in the palace, Yu Fuhai has suffered greatly!

Especially when His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were reviewing memorials together, Yu Fuhai hardly dared to breathe.

Su Zhenzhen was startled. Is it really that scary?

Rong Jinchen glanced at Yu Fuhai and whispered, "Is the emperor in there?" "His Majesty is in there, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too." Yu Fuhai tried to signal calmly with his eyes.

Su Zhenzhen's eyes flashed, and she smiled as usual: "Eunuch Yu, did you like the Tuyi I brought you before? I've brought you some more when I returned to Beijing this time. You must try it later." Yu Fuhai was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears, "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Your Highness." As expected, the Princess and Your Highness were so kind that even a servant like him remembered them.

Yu Fuhai said enthusiastically: "Your Highness and Princess Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and tell them right away." As he said that, his flexible and chubby body quickly walked into the Weiyang Palace.

Soon, Rong Yue, dressed in a black dragon-patterned uniform, strode to the entrance of the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

"Chen'er, you're back. I missed me so much." Rong Yue smiled kindly and lovingly. Without waiting for Rong Jinchen and Su Zhenzhen to greet him, he patted Rong Jinchen's shoulder.

Su Zhenzhen puffed out her cheeks and said, "Your son pays respects to His Majesty." Rong Jinchen also saluted and said, "Your son pays respects to His Majesty."

Rong Jinchen saw that his father seemed to have shown more signs of aging than last year, and suddenly remembered that his father was already fifty-two years old this year.

Rong Yue's voice was very kind, "No need to be so polite, Zhenzhen has also gained weight." Su Zhenzhen was so angry that her lips swelled up like a pufferfish, "Father, you are going too far! How can you say a girl is fat!" She deliberately pulled Rong Jinchen's collar, "Husband, father is bullying me." She was deliberately showing off.

Rong Yue really missed Su Zhenzhen at this moment. He felt that ever since Zhenzhen left with Chen'er, he couldn't enjoy his meals anymore.

At this moment, he was happily stroking his beautiful beard. "Zhenzhen girl, this is a symbol of good fortune. If I say you are blessed, then you are blessed." Roundness means fatness, and fatness means good fortune. Su Zhenzhen pouted angrily and walked directly behind Rong Jinchen, ignoring Rong Yue.

Rong Jinchen was helpless, "Father, why do you only tease Qingqing? I will be very distressed if you make her angry." He had finally made her a little plump, but he also discouraged her from wanting to lose weight.

God knows how difficult it is to keep Qingqing fat during the long journey. It is even harder than winning a battle.

Su Zhenzhen was originally 1.6 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms, but now she has grown to 95 kilograms. She has been traveling around the country for almost a year, but she has still gained weight.

Just say whether it is outrageous or not!

Ninety-five kilograms is the limit she can accept!

She wants to lose weight even if she has one pound more!

As a result, Rong Yue kept saying that she was fat and that she was blessed! This was like stabbing a knife into the girl's heart!

Rong Yue smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Zhenzhen has fallen in love with pearls recently. Why don't you go to my private vault with Chen'er later? There are many pearls of excellent quality in it. Just consider it my apology to you. How about it?" He looked very amiable with a smile on his face.

Yu Fuhai sighed silently in his heart. It turned out that His Majesty now looked like an ordinary old father. Alas.

This is how people live! God knows how he has been living these past few months!

Su Zhenzhen's round eyes were black and shiny, and her clear and bright eyes were smart and cunning. "Then I forgive your Majesty, but I will not be polite!" Don't think she doesn't know what her father meant by saying this.

Isn't it just about making money from the noble families?

As the Princess of Yan, the wife of His Majesty's most beloved son, Su Zhenzhen is undoubtedly a trendsetting figure in the capital.

Even before she got married, many noble ladies imitated her dress and appearance. It can be said that whatever she wore was popular in the capital.

Even if the fabric jewelry is not as high-quality as the ones she wears every day, you can still imitate the shape, style, etc.

Su Zhenzhen usually loves jade ornaments or gemstone head ornaments, which are a bit too luxurious for a noble lady who only receives a monthly allowance. Her family only affords them when the seasons change.

But pearls are different. They are not as expensive as jade and gemstones, and are suitable for girls of any age.

It takes two to three years to successfully cultivate saltwater pearls, while the shortest time for freshwater pearls is a few months.

Rong Yue laughed, "Come on, let's go in and talk. Stay in the palace today and have lunch and dinner with me." Rong Jinchen took Su Zhenzhen's hand and followed Rong Yue with her.

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou heard the affectionate conversations between the three of them in the hall. Thinking of the fatherly smile that naturally appeared on his father's face when he heard Rong Jinchen's voice just now, his heart sank.

Is it really impossible for the emperor and the prince to be as close as ordinary father and son?

He has been the crown prince for twenty-seven years.

When Rong Jinyou heard the sound of them entering the hall, he collected his thoughts, lowered his eyes, put down the memorial in his hand, and stood up to greet them.
