"I obey the order. Young

Master Cao, you all get ready and come with me to the palace." The one who came to deliver the order was the palace maid who went to Caojia Village to pick someone up last time. They were all old acquaintances. Cao Xiangnan never thought that the emperor would let him bring his family to the palace and let them go together.

Now that the emperor's edict had come, he could only take Wanfeng and the children with him.

I will go to the palace with you." Cao Gang said.

They changed into decent clothes, and both adults and children wore gold, jade and gems. Fortunately, they had prepared all these in advance. It is an honor for the people to be summoned to the palace to meet the emperor, and dressing appropriately is a sign of respect for the emperor.

Outside the general's mansion was a carriage sent to pick them up. They got on the carriage, and the carriage headed towards the palace. General Cao followed on horseback. The brown-red horse was very smart and knew the way without the master's instructions. Sun Bailian took a few children to the general's mansion to wait for her husband and his family to return.

On the way, they reminded the children to be obedient and not to run around when they entered the palace. The older ones naturally obeyed, but the most disobedient one in the family was Xiao Baoer. Xiao Baoer was the emperor's son. Cao Xiangnan felt miserable. He was afraid that the emperor would ask him to take his son back. How would he explain to Zi Yu, his wife, and the brothers who liked Xiao Baoer? !

The emperor had only summoned him to the capital, so why did he let him take his whole family with him now! It was obvious that the emperor wanted to see his son. Could he not let the emperor see him?

"Bao'er, do you understand? You must listen to your father and mother and be nice to her and don't be naughty." Cao Xiangnan held Bao'er and gave him some ideological education.

Little Bao'er's face said, I am still young, I don't understand anything yet.

In fact, little Baoer hummed "very seriously", and almost patted his chest to guarantee "Baoer is very good, very good, bullshit! Doesn't Cao Xiangnan know his own son? Although Baoer is the emperor's son, the emperor has never fulfilled his responsibilities to this son. Baoer was raised with great difficulty in their family. When Cao Xiangnan thought of this, he felt that he had some confidence in the issue of Baoer's custody rights. It was not far from the general's mansion to the palace, and they soon arrived at the palace gate. After

getting off the car at the palace gate, they wanted to go inside. The towering palace walls separated the palace from the outside. People in the palace wanted to go outside, and people outside the palace wanted to go in. The richness of the palace. As soon as you enter the palace, you can feel the wind blowing on your face carrying the solemn atmosphere of this palace. Generations of emperors of Dayong have lived in this palace.

They walked in along long corridors, following the palace attendants who led the way.

Several children followed their father and mother. The children's curiosity made them raise their heads from time to time and look around carefully. There were only high walls around, and guards standing around. Qi Wanfeng was holding Baoer in his arms. Fortunately, Baoer also let his mother hold him obediently, but his eyes were turning around dishonestly, and he was talking to his mother in a babble.

? Huh! "Qi Wanfeng made a gesture to silence.

Little Bao'er opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth with his two hands, and looked like he understood. Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing again. Fortunately, they didn't meet any nobles along the way, and there were not many people in the harem. Hou Jun was a quiet person. During the day, Gui Jun and the beauty only went to greet them early in the morning and stayed in their own backyard, which was not much different from when they were in the Yiwang Mansion. Those who were not favored were still not favored. The emperor was obsessed with government affairs. At most, he would go to Hou Jun and Zhen Guijun. The rest of the people didn't even have the opportunity to compete for favor.

The harem was a rare peace in a hundred years. After

walking for half an incense stick of time, they finally saw a magnificent palace.

"This is it, General Cao, Madam Cao, and several young masters, you wait here, His Majesty should be busy in the study right now, and His Majesty will be here soon." The palace attendant led the people into a hall, and then he led them down. There were only palace servants standing in the huge palace. If the emperor didn't come, they could only stand and wait for the emperor to come, and they couldn't sit down, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor. Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but complain in his heart, if the emperor forgot to call them into the palace when he was busy, wouldn't they have to stand like this until tomorrow?

After walking all the way in, several children were tired, but no one complained of being tired.

"Mom, Baoer." Only Baoer had been in his mother's arms all the way, and now that he arrived at the place and saw something new, he wanted to go downstairs to play. Qi Wanfeng saw Baoer struggling to get down, so he had to put him down, and did not forget to remind him to be obedient.

After Baoer got down to the ground, he was like a puppy that had been untied from its rope, shaking his two little ears, looking left and right with his round eyes, and walking forward with his short legs. Cao Ruile grabbed him and frowned, saying, "Don't run." When

Baoer heard Lele say not to run, he pulled Lele around and sang a song in his mouth, all in the same tune, which sounded like the lullaby his father usually sang to him. Anyway, he was not at peace for a moment.

Emperor Cao Xiangnan, if you don't come again, I can't help you look after the children!

At this time, the emperor in the study heard that someone had entered the palace. He paused holding the pen in his hand, hummed, and continued to read the memorial in front of him. After a while, he put down the pen in his hand and stood up. The old slave behind him hurriedly caught up with their emperor and told them about the people waiting in the palace.

The children standing in the palace waiting for people were tired. Cao Xiangnan patted the heads of the children and asked them to wait patiently. The palace was different from the outside. You couldn't see the emperor just by saying so. The emperor said that they should wait here for a while and then come. They had to stand here and wait for the emperor to come. Unless Emperor Feng sent someone to say that he would not come and asked them to go back, they could go back. Cao Xiangnan was sure that the emperor would not let them go back, at least the emperor was very interested in the things in his hands.

"Le, look."

Well, Bao'er might be well behaved for a while if he was tied with a rope at such a young age, but after being well behaved for a while, he couldn't be stopped and wanted to walk around. Fortunately, he was short and his hands couldn't reach the things on the ground. Cao Ruile followed behind with a wooden face and stared at Bao'er, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor..." The palace servants and guards outside the hall knelt down when they saw the emperor.

General Cao, who was looking at the flowers and trees outside, saluted the emperor when he saw the emperor coming.

The emperor gestured forward, and Cao Gang understood and followed the emperor into the room.

Hearing the sound outside, Cao Xiangnan and others knew that the emperor was coming. A foot in bright yellow boots stepped through the gate, and the emperor appeared in the hall. Cao Xiangnan led Qi Wanfeng and the children behind them to kneel down and salute.

"Hey..." When Bao'er's laughter rang in his ears, Cao Xiangnan thought to himself that it was bad, he forgot to catch the little guy. The emperor only saw a small figure rushing towards him, and when the child bumped into him and fell and almost bounced to the ground, he reached out and grabbed the little guy who bumped into him. A little face that was seven points similar to his Ye'er appeared in front of him. The child smiled more brilliantly than the spring light outside, and was not afraid of him. He raised his head and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes with a smile.

The last time he saw this little guy was a quick glance, and he didn't look carefully. Now that he saw this child so close, he realized that among their two children, this child was the most like Fang Ziye.

The emperor fell in love with this smiling little boy at first sight. "Your Majesty, my child was ignorant and bumped into Your Majesty..." Cao Xiangnan felt a cold sceptre in his heart and was about to apologize for the child.

Qi Wanfeng didn't know that Bao'er was the child of Fang Ziye and the emperor. When he saw Bao'er bumped into the emperor, he was so scared that he fell silent and didn't know what to do.

Cao Gang knew that the child was the child of Fang Ziye for the emperor. If he entered the palace, he should be a little prince. He just didn't know what the emperor meant.

It's a cute baby. You all stand up. "The emperor bent down and held the child in his arms. He was very skilled in holding the child, and it was obvious that he had held the child many times. You know, the emperor liked to hold his little prince as soon as he finished his morning court, so he naturally practiced the posture of holding the child.

I don’t know if it’s because of blood relationship, but Baoer bit his little hand and stared at the person who held him up seriously. He was not afraid at all, and his round eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Cao Ruile, who was standing behind and wanted to pull Baoer, saw the emperor holding Baoer up, so he followed the emperor. The emperor saw the child who was about the same age as in his arms and was walking at his feet, and he knew that this was the boy from Cao Xiangnan's family.

Cao Ruile was obviously going to ask the emperor to return the little baby in his arms.

After the emperor walked over, the people kneeling on the ground stood up one after another. Cao Xiangnan reached out and pulled the two little ones behind him to stand up together.

Cao Ruian saw the majestic emperor. This was the first time he entered the palace with his father and saw the emperor. It was not until many years later that he entered the palace again with his own ability and saw the emperor.

"Sit down." This was not the first time the emperor saw Cao Xiangnan. He smiled and put the child in his arms down. As soon as he was put down, Baoer ran back to his mother, smiling sweetly and calling "Mommy", not knowing what he had just done.

Qi Wanfeng did not dare to question or scold the little guy, so he could only hold him tightly, fearing that he would run away.

The emperor saw Xiaobao running to Cao Xiangnan's son, and saw his child calling someone else "daddy and mom", and he felt a little jealous in his heart. He asked people to go all the way to Caojia Village to find Cao Xiangnan, so he must have something to do with Cao Xiangnan. Knowing that Cao Xiangnan brought the child here, he asked them to come together so that he could see this child he had only seen once.

The palace servants served tea and snacks, and then retreated, surrounded by palace maids.
