Chapter 488 Surprise
The room was peaceful and quiet. Zhou Boxu walked to the bed and sat down. The family of five gathered together for the first time.
Zhuang Yun looked at Zhou Shiyu in Zhou Boxu's arms and said in surprise: "Brother and sister look exactly the same."
There are many noble families in Shangjing, and they have twins, but dragon and phoenix twins are rare, and it is even rarer to see twins who are exactly the same.
So it's no wonder that Zhuang Yun was surprised. When the news spreads, everyone will find it strange.
"Yun'er, you must teach them well in the future, so that they can be as sensible and capable as you." Yu Lan looked at her three children with a loving and tender look in her eyes.
Zhuang Yin nodded and said earnestly, "I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."
After a pause, Zhuang Yin added happily, "My classmates in the academy were not born together, and they will definitely envy me when they know that I have brothers and sisters who look the same."
Zhou Boxu and Yu Lan smiled at each other and felt extremely happy.
This is how their life is, and they have nothing else to ask for.
After resting in the palace for a few days, Yu Lan's health improved, and the family returned to the princess's mansion. After
receiving the news, Taifu Zhou and Madam Zhou immediately rushed to the princess's mansion to see their grandchildren.
Sun Yijun, who was about to give birth, also came accompanied by Yu Yuan and Princess Rong.
Sun Yijun's belly was already very big, and Princess Rong didn't want her to leave the mansion, but she couldn't persuade her, so she had to accompany her.
"Shiyu and Shiran are so beautiful." Sun Yijun liked them very much.
Yu Lan looked at her belly and said, "Your child will be very beautiful too."
Sun Yijun stroked her belly gently, her face soft and expectant.
"I guess she will give birth next month, so I can't attend Shiyu and Shiran's full-month banquet." Sun Yijun sighed with regret.
Yu Lan comforted her, "It's okay, I can go to your child's full-month banquet."
Sun Yijun snorted and glared at Yu Lan unhappily.
Suddenly she remembered something and said seriously, "When will Wang Sao and the others come back?"
Yu Lan said, "They travel slowly in a carriage, so it may take a few days."
But no matter how slow it is, they will be back by the end of this month.
Today is March 18th, and it's still early to the end of the month.
After Zhou Boxu returned to Beijing and rested for a few days, he went to court to handle affairs as usual.
The days passed leisurely and orderly. On
March 22, Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng and his group were still on the road.
At noon, they got off the car to rest and have a meal.
The sun was a little hot at noon, and Jiang Shu went to the shade of the tree to cool off. He was drinking water with a water bag when he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance.
It was the fragrance of flowers.
Jiang Shu looked around curiously and saw a cluster of yellow and white flowers blooming on the roadside. The fragrance came from them.
"What kind of flower is this?" Jiang Shu approached, stretched out his hand to pick a flower and put it close to his nose.
Lian Xuan stared at the flower and said with a choked voice: "It's honeysuckle."
Jiang Shu's hand paused, and he looked at the cluster of flowers again, his heart slightly condensed.
It turned out that this was honeysuckle.
Small yellow or white flowers, in clusters, quietly bloom in the deserted roadside mountains. They are inconspicuous, but they exude a refreshing fragrance.
Du Zhong came over at some point, picked a flower and put it in his mouth to chew, saying: "This is a good thing, it clears away heat and detoxifies, evacuates wind and heat, and relieves fire and benefits the body."
Jiang Shu also put the flower in his hand into his mouth and chewed it gently.
The nectar is sweet and the flower body is slightly bitter.
Just like honeysuckle, it has a lively and cheerful temperament, warm and lovely, but its fate is rough and bitter.
Jiang Shu likes honeysuckle and honeysuckle flowers very much. Before leaving, he picked a bunch of them and put them in the carriage. The carriage was full of sweet fragrance, and people who smelled it felt relaxed and happy.
After another three days, the team arrived in Shangjing.
Lian Xuan lifted the curtain and looked at the majestic gate of Shangjing. She was instantly excited.
This is Shangjing.
After the carriage entered the city, Lian Xuan leaned out of the window and looked at everything with curiosity.
The houses on the street, people's clothes and appearance... everything was different from Yicheng.
Shangjing was so prosperous and beautiful that Lian Xuan was dazzled. It was not
until the carriage stopped and Zhuiyun asked Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu to get off that Lian Xuan came back to his senses. They
had arrived at the Prince Jing's Mansion.
Lian Xuan got off the car and looked up at the Prince Jing's Mansion, which was several times more magnificent than the General's Mansion in Yicheng. She was a little timid and did not dare to step in.
"Lian Xuan?" Jiang Shu turned around and called her.
Lian Xuan responded and followed Jiang Shu into the mansion with trepidation.
After being silent for several months, Prince Jing's Mansion became lively because of the return of his master.
The servants in the mansion rushed to tell each other and were busy serving.
Zhuiyun pushed open the small courtyard of him and Tanyu and saw the figure under the apricot tree.
Then, Zhuiyun's pupils shrank suddenly.
Tanyu stood under the apricot tree with his hands on his waist, his abdomen slightly bulging, looking up at the unripe apricots, swallowing saliva gently.
"Tanyu." Zhuiyun called excitedly.
Tanyu under the tree turned around, and the moment he saw Zhuiyun, shock flashed across his face, and quickly turned into joy.
"You're back." Tanyu happily walked up to him.
Zhuiyun hurried over, supported her and said, "Walk slowly."
Tan Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's almost five months. She's sitting well."
Zhuiyun raised his hand and gently stroked Tan Yu's belly, unable to hide his excitement and said, "I'm going to be a father."
"Yeah." Tan Yu said softly, "The diagnosis was made at the end of the year. The child is doing well and will be born in a few months." Zhuiyun
said guiltily, "I'm sorry for putting you in trouble."
Tan Yu has been pregnant for five months, but he just found out.
He was not with her these past few months, and he didn't know how she got through.
"It's not a bummer. You said you would pick apricots for me to eat. I've been waiting for you. I believe you will come back when the apricots are ripe."
So she stood under the apricot tree every day, hoping that when the apricots were ripe, Zhuiyun would come back.
God was kind and heard her prayers. Zhuiyun came back before the apricots were ripe.
"I will pick them for you every year in the future." Zhuiyun took Tan Yu into his arms and made a promise.
"Okay." Tan Yu hugged him back and hugged him tightly.
The setting sun fell softly, falling on the apricots on the tree and on the two people hugging each other under the tree.
The breeze blew, rustling the leaves. The apricots hanging on the branches had begun to turn yellow, and Tan Yu seemed to smell the fruity fragrance.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Shu settled Lian Xuan and Du Zhong, and hurried to the palace with Yu Zheng to pick up Yu Ziyou.
The streets were bustling in the evening, with people coming and going. Jiang Shu felt at ease listening to the familiar noise.
When the two arrived at Zhongling Palace, the palace servants had prepared dinner, and the emperor and Concubine Yu were preparing to eat.
"Father, mother." Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu greeted each other.
Concubine Yu was surprised and said, "You are back, Ziyou, look, your father and mother are back."
"Ziyou." Jiang Shu walked closer and reached out to hug Yu Ziyou.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Yu Ziyou has grown a lot.
Yu Ziyou glanced at Jiang Shu, turned his head and hid in Concubine Yu's arms.
"Ziyou." Jiang Shu's voice was tinged with tears.
After being away for too long, Yu Ziyou really didn't recognize them.
Jiang Shu's eyes turned red, and he felt both guilty and distressed.
Yu Zheng frowned when he saw this, and he stepped forward and called Yu Ziyou.
Yu Ziyou hugged Concubine Yu's neck and ignored him.
