In front of the gate of Prince Yi's mansion, Princess Yi and a group of people in the mansion stood at the gate waiting for the prince to return. The servants on both sides supported her. Her bulging belly showed that she would give birth in a few months. Seeing the prince's carriage stop, the housekeeper was waiting by the side. When he saw their prince get off the carriage, he respectfully called "Prince".
Feng Lingxiao saw the people waiting there as soon as he got off the carriage. When he saw the prince looking at him, Liang Xijun smiled. The servants following their master hurriedly reached out to support their master and walked towards the prince.
Zhen Cejun in the mansion also came out with the child to greet the prince. Zhen Lanshang originally didn't want to come out, but when he thought that the princess had come out to greet the prince, it would be inappropriate for him, a servant, to stay inside.
The other beauties serving the prince in the backyard would naturally not miss such a good opportunity, and they all dressed up to welcome their prince. The princess was pregnant and could not serve the prince. If they seized such a good opportunity and were lucky enough to have a son, their status in the prince's eyes would rise.
"Prince." Liang Xijun had not taken a few steps forward when his husband strode in front of him. He smiled and called softly. The most talented man in Fengdu City back then is now just a boy who will be his mother. He was bathed in a layer of soft light, and even the lines on his face were softened.
Feng Lingxiao noticed his princess's bulging belly and walked over with big strides. Seeing him come out with a big belly, he looked a little bit unconvinced and said, "It's so cold outside, why don't you wait inside? What are you doing outside?"
"I couldn't sit still in the house when I heard that you were back, and if it wasn't for my mother stopping me, I would have wanted to run to the city gate to wait for you to come back." Liang Baojun touched his bulging belly. It was the little kid in his belly that prevented him from going out to welcome the prince back.
But when he thought that this was his and the prince's child, his heart was filled with sweetness.
However, he couldn't go out of the city gate, but he could still go out to the gate of the Yiwang Mansion to wait for the prince to come back.
"You are just making a fuss!" Feng Lingxiao said with a fierce face.
Seeing that there was no blame on their prince's face, Liang Xijun was not afraid of their prince at all. Her hand was held by her husband, and her heart was warm. She raised her eyes and looked at her prince.
Zhen Lansai stood there quietly, watching the prince and Liang Xijun standing intimately together, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It was the child beside him who saw his father coming back. Although his mother had told him to be obedient, his father couldn't see him. He missed his father for so long, and finally his father came back. Little Zheng'er couldn't wait to talk to his father, so he struggled with his mother's hand and ran out.
"Hey..." Zhen Lansai stretched out his hand to hold the child, but he was already a step late.
"Father." Little Zheng'er hugged his father's legs, raised his little face and called his father.
Feng Lingxiao lowered his head and looked at the child hugging his thighs, a faint smile appeared on his face, he let go of his legitimate husband's hand, bent down and picked up the child, and saw this little face that looked a bit like him, he asked, "Zheng'er, do you miss your father?" After his
hand was released, the smile on Liang Xijun's face slowly faded, and he saw the prince holding the illegitimate child. Sooner or later, Zhen Xijun would bring this child to ask for his favor. He couldn't say whether he liked this child or not. When he thought that this was the prince's child with someone else, he couldn't get close to him.
Liang Baojun also knew that compared with other princes, there were not many people in their prince's backyard, and the child was only this illegitimate child. But whenever he thought that this was another brother's child for the prince, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the child in his belly was about to be born. The child he gave birth to for the prince was a legitimate child, with a noble status, and naturally could not be compared with the children born out of wedlock. Thinking of this, Liang Xijun felt relieved. As the princess of the palace, he could not be too harsh on the only illegitimate son in the palace, because they were all the prince's children.
"Yes, Zheng'er misses father very much, and mother misses father too." Little Zheng'er responded in a crisp voice.
Children born in this palace are more narrow-minded than children of ordinary families. When little Zheng'er saw that his father did not look at his mother, he did not forget to tell his father that his mother also missed his father.
When Feng Lingxiao heard the child's words, he followed the child's line of sight and saw the person standing there silently. When Zhen Lansai saw their prince looking at him, he took a step forward and called out "Prince."
"Zheng'er, get down from your father's arms quickly. Your father is tired. Don't let your father hold you." Zhen Lansai wanted to take the child. His child has been smart since he was young. It was also because he was in this prince's mansion that the child understood some things earlier than other children.
Zhen Lansai also knew that there were some servants in this prince's mansion who had heard the child's words. But even if he strictly ordered the servants here not to talk nonsense, he could not control the servants in other courtyards to listen to him, so some words were still heard by the child.
Thinking of the child asking him a few days ago whether his father would not like little Zheng'er after his younger brother was born, Zhen Lansai felt sad. But he also knew that their prince was of noble status. If he hadn't given birth to little Zheng'er for the prince, he, Zhen Lansai, would be nothing now.
In this palace, he took what the prince gave him, and he couldn't fight for what he shouldn't fight for. Now that he could stay by the prince's side, guarding the prince and his little Zheng'er, he was very satisfied.
In this palace, besides the prince, the other half of the owner was Liang Baojun. He never dared to think about fighting with Liang Baojun for anything. Seeing little Zheng'er ran out and ran to the prince's arms to hug, Zhen Lansai was afraid of making Liang Xijun unhappy, so he wanted to take the child.
"This prince still has the strength to hold Zheng'er." Feng Lingxiao looked at his side attendant, with a look of "You look down on this prince too much." He did not understand what his sidekick was thinking, and had no intention of letting go of the child.
Little Zheng'er was in his father's arms, laughing happily. When his mother asked him to get down, he was unwilling to do so even though he finally saw his father. He held his father's neck tightly with both hands.
Zhen Lanshang could only smile helplessly. Seeing the child happy, the smile on his face was more genuine.
The old maid at the side saw that Zhen Sidekick had stolen their prince's attention, and their princess had to accompany him outside in the cold wind, so she glared at Zhen Shijun with her old eyes. These old maids who usually thought that they were sent by their prime minister's wife to serve their master and were superior to other servants said, "Prince, the princess is in a heavy body, and it's windy outside, I'm afraid..."
"Shut up!" Liang Xijun heard it and interrupted the old maid.
It seemed that he was too tolerant of these servants, so he dared to speak so rudely in front of the prince.
Feng Lingxiao just glanced at these old servants coldly. The old maid who spoke up immediately knelt down and trembled on the ground after being looked at by their prince. Feng Lingxiao didn't say anything, holding Xiao Zheng'er in his arms, and said to his princess, "I was careless, let's go inside."
Although their prince didn't say anything, Liang Xijun knew that their prince was unhappy. With the help of the servant, he went inside, not even looking at the old servant, so that he would know who was the master.
The old madam who was kneeling on the ground did not get the permission from her master, and she was still kneeling on the ground. No one who entered the palace paid any attention to the old madam who was kneeling on the ground.
The housekeeper stood there with his head down, a sneer flashed in his eyes. These old guys who came with the princess really took themselves so seriously, and almost forgot who was the master and who was the servant.
The group went inside, and little Zheng'er was still in his father's arms. Little Zheng'er was still young and did not understand the things between adults. The child's sensitivity made him know that his father was angry. He stretched out his little hand and touched his father's chest, which meant that his father should not be angry.
Feng Lingxiao looked down at the child in his arms, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was not really angry because of a servant. Zhen Lansai, who was following at the side, saw the smile on their prince's face, lowered his head, and then showed a faint smile on his face.
The servants and beauties who followed behind did not even get a glance from their prince. Seeing Zhen Lansai following the prince, they all knew in their hearts that it was because Zhen Lansai gave birth to a boy for the prince, otherwise Zhen Lansai would be just like them, and was dispensable in this palace.
In this palace, even if some people feel unbalanced, they also know the rules of this palace. As long as they are honest, the palace will not lack them for food. They are not willing to see the consequences of being dishonest.
"I know that the prince has returned. You have worked hard outside. I have asked the mansion to prepare good wine and food for you to welcome you." Liang Xijun knew that the prince had been ordered to go out to relieve the disaster. There was no good food outside. He was afraid that he could not even fill his stomach. Knowing that the prince had returned, he asked the mansion to prepare his favorite food for him.
"The princess is thoughtful." Feng Lingxiao carried Xiao Zheng'er all the way in and put him down after entering the house. After being put down, Xiao Zheng followed his father closely.
Seeing a group of people following behind, Feng Lingxiao waved his hand and let them go.
The maids and beauties in the mansion were all given to him by the emperor after he returned to Fengdu City, and some were sent by outsiders. He threw them all into the backyard and never looked at them on weekdays. Seeing these people gave him a headache.
"Yes." These delicate beauties retreated aggrievedly.
The room suddenly became quiet. Zhen Lancai saw that everyone had left, so he motioned for Xiao Zheng'er to come over. They couldn't stay here. The child didn't understand his mother's thoughts. He hadn't seen his father for so long, and he finally waited for his father to come back. He didn't want to leave in his heart, and his little face was full of grievances.
"Lansai, you and Xiao Zheng'er should stay and have dinner with us. Xijun and I can't finish all the dishes." Feng Lingxiao reached out and rubbed the child's head. Seeing the child's aggrieved look, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He remembered a little face he had seen briefly last time. It was the first time he saw the child. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He recognized the child at a quick glance at that time. Now that he thought about it, he had never even held the child.
The concubines in the mansion were not qualified to sit at the table to eat. Seeing that the prince asked them to stay, Zhen Lansai had to stay with the little boy. Seeing that Xiao Zheng'er was so disobedient today, he was a little angry.
After all, this was his child, and he couldn't really argue with the little boy, so he could only sigh in his heart.
Seeing his mother smiling at him, little Zheng'er smiled sweetly, holding a small spoon in his hand and shaking his little hands, he scooped his favorite food from his bowl to his mother. "Eat it yourself." Seeing the child's fawning look, Zhen Lancai felt sorry for his child.
"Come on, Prince, eat more." Liang Xijun picked up some dishes for the prince, asked Zhen Cejun if the dishes suited his and the child's appetite, and said apologetically, "These dishes are prepared according to the tastes that the prince likes on weekdays. If you don't like them, I will ask the kitchen to prepare a few new ones for you and Zheng'er." Zhen Lanfeng could not hardly hear the meaning of these words, and hurriedly responded, "Thank you, Princess. Zheng'er is not picky about food on weekdays, so these are enough."
After a meal, it was quite peaceful.
After dinner, Zhen Lan said sarcastically, and after getting the nod from the prince, he took his little Zheng'er downstairs first, leaving the house to the prince and Liang Baojun. Little Zheng'er was a little reluctant to leave, but he also knew that if he didn't go with Am, Am would be angry, so he followed Am back obediently.
