Chapter 254 Wen Xiaotian, eat these seafood and lose weight!
After hearing Eunuch Wang's answer, the emperor's brows were still tightly furrowed, without any relaxation.
He didn't quite believe that answer.
As a father, he understands his son.
I've been out for so long, I'm almost back.
Even if you are eager to go home, there is no need to travel day and night suddenly.
There must be other reasons.
Either Yuwen Cheng didn't know either, or it was difficult to say when the news was passed on.
As the emperor thought about this, his pace became faster and faster.
What exactly happened will become clear when I meet Chu Huaixu later.
After leaving the prince's bedroom, the emperor and empress got directly into the sedan chair.
The servants all knew how anxious the emperor and empress were, and while they tried to keep the sedan chair steady, they also lifted it faster and faster.
A quarter of an hour later, they finally arrived at the city gate.
Before the two of them got off the sedan chair, they saw a familiar figure.
If this isn’t Chu Huaixu, who else could it be!
"Xu'er!"
The queen exclaimed, stood up, and walked quickly towards Chu Huaixu.
When he got in front of Chu Huaixu, he immediately hugged him in his arms.
The queen's action was so fast that Chu Huaixu was caught off guard.
It was not until he was held in the queen's arms that Chu Huaixu realized what had happened.
This made Chu Huaixu a little shy.
He is not a child anymore.
Being held in the Queen's arms in front of so many people really made him embarrassed.
But Chu Huaixu also knew in his heart that the reason why the queen was like this was because she hadn't seen him for too long and she missed him and was worried about him.
Chu Huaixu, who understood all this, did not struggle.
After waiting for a long time, the queen finally calmed down a little, then let go of Chu Huaixu and looked him up and down.
"I've grown taller! I've become stronger! But I've also lost weight."
As the queen spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was choked.
The emperor was also watching from the side. After watching for a while, he smiled and said, "It's not tanned."
As he said this, the emperor looked behind Chu Huaixu, but did not see Yu Youning, only Huo Qingchen and Yuwen Cheng.
"Where is Youning?" the emperor asked curiously.
The Queen also hurriedly said, "Yes, where is Youning? Why didn't she come into the palace with you?"
"Youning said she wanted to settle her master first, and then come to the palace to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Chu Huaixu replied with a smile.
Just by hearing Chu Huaixu's answer, the emperor knew that this was definitely not something Yu Youning could say, and it must have been embellished by Chu Huaixu.
However, he didn't care.
The Queen still held Chu Huaixu's hand, "You must be exhausted after traveling all the way. Don't stand here and talk. Let's go back now. The Queen Mother just had someone clean up your bedroom today. You can take a shower and change clothes later. The Queen Mother will have someone prepare your favorite food. After dinner, you can have a good rest..."
Chu Huaixu let the queen hold his hand and followed the queen into the sedan chair.
The emperor did not follow.
With the Queen around, there's no need for him.
He wanted to talk to Chu Huaixu about serious matters, but there was no chance now, so he might as well ask Huo Qingchen and Yuwen Cheng.
Thinking this in his heart, the emperor looked at Huo Qingchen and Yuwen Cheng.
"You two have worked hard on this journey, follow me to the Imperial Study!"
Huo Qingchen and Yuwen Cheng bowed together, "Yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, in the imperial study.
The emperor did not let the two stand, but asked them to sit opposite him.
"Let's first tell you about the journey back here!" said the emperor.
"Yes!" Yuwen Cheng sorted out his thoughts a little, spoke slowly, and recounted everything that happened on the way back.
The focus is naturally on Governor Fu.
"After dealing with the Fu family, I originally planned to return slowly, but I received news halfway that the Crown Princess of Xiliang had already left and would be arriving in the capital soon. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little anxious, so he ordered us to travel day and night and returned two days early."
After hearing Yuwen Cheng's explanation, the emperor nodded in understanding.
This is indeed what Xuer would do.
The emperor looked at Yuwen Cheng and said, "You've worked hard on this journey. Go back and rest early. You can go back to work tomorrow."
Yuwen Cheng quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will now withdraw!"
After Yuwen Cheng finished speaking, he walked out with big strides.
The emperor's words have two meanings.
One is to care about him, and the other is to get him away.
In the imperial study, after Yuwen Cheng left, the emperor looked at Huo Qingchen.
Huo Qingchen was stared at by the emperor and felt a little nervous.
The Emperor had lived for so many years that he could see his nervousness at a glance, and his smile became a little gentler. "Don't be so nervous. I won't eat you. Can you tell me what has happened in the past few months?"
Huo Qingchen immediately stood up and knelt down. "I can tell you anything else, but what happened on Penglai Island..."
Before Huo Qingchen could finish, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Say what you can say, and don't say what you can't say. I won't force you."
Seeing that the emperor was really not angry and had a smile on his face, Huo Qingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He got up from the ground and sat up, then slowly began to speak...
-
After entering the capital, Yu Youning and his companions separated from Chu Huaixu and went straight back to the Wen Mansion.
Marshal Wen has not returned yet, and only the old housekeeper and some servants are guarding the mansion.
When the old butler saw Yu Youning and others suddenly appear at the gate of the mansion, he was almost excited to tears.
"Second Young Master! Second Madam! Young Miss! You are finally back!"
"Uncle housekeeper, don't be so excited. It's not good for your health." Yu Youning warned.
Hearing Yu Youning's words, the old housekeeper quickly wiped away his tears and nodded repeatedly, "Hey! Hey! Hey! This is something worth being happy about, you shouldn't cry! When the master comes back and sees you all at home, who knows how happy he will be!"
"Grandfather will be back soon! We can clean up the house first!" Yu Youning said hurriedly.
"How did the young lady know?"
The housekeeper looked at Yu Youning in confusion.
Marshal Wen is leading the troops to war, and when the army will return should be a secret. But from what the young lady said, it seems that she knows it very clearly?
Yu Youning put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course I know! There are many things I know!"
Not only did she know that Marshal Wen was coming back, she also knew that Marshal Wen was coming back with the Crown Princess of Xiliang.
The Crown Princess of Xiliang is coming to the capital. This is such a big thing and must not be taken lightly.
Marshal Wen can only feel at ease if we go with the Xiliang team.
In at least three days, and at most five days, Marshal Wen and others will arrive in the capital.
This is why they travel day and night.
Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper showed some confusion on his face, but he did not ask any further questions. He just asked Yu Youning and the others to rest for a while, and he himself and the servants in the mansion were busy.
Yu Youning was not tired at all and didn't want to rest at all.
"Daddy, Mommy, Master, I want to go play with Wen Xiaotian!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a cat's meow.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby, furry orange cat walking towards them with its tail erect. It was Wen Xiaotian!
Just as he was about to reach the door, Wen Xiaotian suddenly stopped and sat upright on the ground.
After a moment, its body softened and it lay on the ground on its side again, its big furry tail swinging back and forth, hitting the ground continuously.
Seeing Wen Xiaotian like this, Yu Tingwan laughed out loud, "This Wen Xiaotian is really a spirit."
He clearly wanted to touch it, but he just refused to come forward.
After taking ninety-nine steps, it stops and waits for someone to take the last step.
Yu Youning didn't think much about it. She ran towards Wen Xiaotian happily, bent down and picked him up.
Wen Xiaotian is fat and strong, several times bigger than an average cat.
If it wasn't confirmed to be a cat, anyone would think it was a lynx just by looking at its size.
An ordinary six-year-old child could not hold Wen Xiaotian at all.
But for Yu Youning, this was completely easy.
After holding Wen Xiaotian in his arms, Yu Youning weighed him carefully.
"Wen Xiaotian, you've gained weight again!"
"You can't eat so much!"
"Being too fat is bad for your health!"
While Yu Youning was giving these instructions, she carried Wen Xiaotian into the house and placed him on the table.
"Wen Xiaotian, I brought you some dried fish and dried squid from Penglai Island, and..."
As he spoke, he ran to the side, opened a bundle, took out a bag of dried seafood from it, and returned to Wen Xiaotian.
Yu Youning took out various dried seafood and placed them on the table. "Wen Xiaotian, try them quickly. After you finish eating these seafood I brought you, you can lose weight!"
Yu Tingwan, "......"
Others, "..."
At the same time, Chu Huaixu and the queen returned to his bedroom together.
After Chu Huaixu washed and changed his clothes, he went to see the queen again.
"Xu'er is here!" The Queen instantly became excited again, "Quickly bring the prepared meal and let Xu'er eat something first."
Knowing that the Queen cared about him, Chu Huaixu did not refuse, but sat down. After the meal was served, he had a warm meal with the Queen.
After dinner, the two moved to the couch by the window and sat down. Chu Huaixu then asked Liuyun to bring over the things he brought back.
"Mother, these are the pearls Youning asked me to bring you. Although they are small, each one of them is made from the tears of a mermaid.
This larger box was opened from river clams.
And these shark silks, which Youning asked me to bring to the Queen Mother, are also incredibly valuable. Shark silk is impervious to fire and water, can block weapons, is incredibly light, and keeps warm in winter and cool in summer. These are enough to make two vests, one each for the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
The Queen had been listening with a smile on her face. When she heard about Jiaosha, she quickly said, "Your father and I have no use for something like this in this deep palace. You and Youning should keep it!"
