Chapter 447: So Big and Rich
Seeing that the two had reconciled, Chu Shangming smiled and drank two bowls of thick porridge with pickles.
Bai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Chu Yuxin ran to the back door to see her eldest brother off.
"Brother, have you brought all your things?"
"I've got them all." Chu Shangming touched his little sister's head, "You must listen to mother at home and don't make her angry."
"I know~" Chu Yuxin waved her hand at him in a long tone, and waited until the person walked around the corner before closing the door and entering the yard.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door just as she locked it.
She quickly opened the door, "Brother, do you have anything else—"
After seeing who was outside the door, Chu Yuxin swallowed the rest of her words. The person outside the door was not her brother, but the Jinyiwei!
"Mother, someone is coming!"
She shouted, grabbing the door with her little hands, and looking at the stranger outside with vigilance and curiosity.
Hearing her shout, Bai came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands. "Who is it?"
"I guess you are Madam Chu." Xiao Anzi, who was standing among the Jinyiwei, smiled and bowed to her with his whisk in his hand.
In her life, Bai had only heard one person call her "Madam Chu," and that was the fat eunuch who had issued the imperial edict last time. Looking at the young man in front of her, his attire made it clear he was also a eunuch.
She pulled the little girl behind her and asked in a puzzled tone, "Have we done something meritorious again?"
Xiao Anzi choked and explained, "You misunderstood. We are here on orders to take you and the Second Miss to the palace. Please get in the car."
He stepped aside and gestured for invitation.
When he made way, the Bai mother and daughter finally noticed the large carriage parked not far away. Although it had no decorations, it looked very expensive.
Bai withdrew her gaze, feeling uneasy.
They were just ordinary people. Out of nowhere, a eunuch came to take them to the palace, and brought so many Jinyiwei with him. Could it be that they had accidentally gotten into trouble?
The more Bai thought about it, the more frightened she became. She secretly held the little girl's hand tightly, looking around, trying to find a chance to escape.
Xiao Anzi could see that Bai was nervous, so he quickly said to her, "It was Miss Chu who wanted to see her family, and His Majesty has granted her grace. Please get in the carriage, both of you."
The attitude is very kind.
Mrs. Bai was stunned. "Is this Miss Chu that the eunuch mentioned my young... Liu Zheng?"
Xiao Anzi nodded.
Just then, Chu Qin came back driving a bullock cart with a lot of goods on it.
Seeing a large carriage parked not far away, with many Jinyiwei standing there, it looked like it was facing his home. Chu Qin's eyelids twitched wildly, and he quickly jumped off the ox cart, not even caring about the cargo, and ran home.
"Father!" Chu Yuxin, who had just stepped onto the carriage, spotted him with her sharp eyes and quickly waved her hand, saying to the Jinyiwei who were trying to stop her, "He's my father, not a bad guy."
Only then did the Embroidered Uniform Guard let Chu Qin go.
Mrs. Bai, who had boarded the carriage earlier, emerged from it and saw Chu Qin's anxious face pale. She hurriedly said, "Master, our family has done nothing wrong. It was His Majesty who showed mercy and sent this Eunuch An to bring people to take us to the palace to see You Miao."
Chu Qin was stunned. He never expected this to be the reason.
Chu Yuxin turned around and asked Xiao Anzi: "Eunuch An, can Daddy come with us to the palace to see Sister?"
According to the rules of the palace, even if Chu Qin is Chu Liuzheng's biological father, he is still a stranger. Even if he enters the palace, the father and daughter will probably not meet each other.
But Xiao Anzi has his own selfish motives.
Chu Liuzheng treated him well, and he was willing to think more about Chu Liuzheng.
Bring the person along first. What if we meet him? Miss Chu will definitely be happy then!
Thinking this, he smiled and nodded to Chu Yuxin.
Chu Yuxin immediately cheered happily, "Dad, we can go to the palace to see my sister together!"
Chu Qin was still a little unresponsive until he got into the carriage. He grabbed Bai and asked her to explain in detail, hoping that it might be a misunderstanding. What if these people picked up the wrong person?
Mrs. Bai was still confused. She only said that she had confirmed with Eunuch An again and again that the Miss Chu in the palace was indeed named Chu Liuzheng, but Eunuch An refused to reveal any more.
The family of three entered the palace with a feeling of half excitement and half nervousness.
A side hall of Wenhua Hall.
Chu Liuzheng spread his arms and turned in front of Siyue and Chenxing, "Can you help me take a look? Does this suit me?"
"It fits." Chen Xing answered helplessly for the 21st time.
She didn't understand. Meeting family members wasn't like assassinating someone. Was there any need to be so nervous?
Chu Liuzheng got up earlier than the emperor today. He changed his clothes and hairstyle, which took him nearly two hours. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
After finally deciding on my hair and clothes, I arrived at Wenhua Hall and sat down for a while before I started to get nervous again. I kept asking if my hair looked good, then if my clothes looked good, and if I looked like I had lived a good life.
At the beginning, Chen Xing and Si Yue answered very seriously, but Chu Liuzheng asked too many times, so they just said "um, yes, yes, okay, all okay", which sounded very perfunctory.
Chu Liuzheng didn't hear it at all.
Seeing that Chu Liuzheng was about to go through the twenty-second circle and ask the same question for the twenty-second time, Siyue hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and said, "The imperial kitchen has delivered the snacks you requested. Would you like to take a look?"
Chu Liuzheng immediately said, "Bring it up."
"Dad likes crispy food, Mom likes sweet and soft food, Xin'er... Xin'er likes them all." Chu Liuzheng looked at them one by one, checked the time, and asked someone to prepare some perilla drink. She remembered that Mom liked this the most.
After looking left and right until my neck was stretched to its limit, I finally saw Xiao Anzi walking in.
He smiled and said, "Master Chu, Madam Chu, and the Second Miss are all waiting outside the hall."
"Please come in." Chu Liuzheng stood up to greet them, but was held back by Chen Xing and Si Yue on the left and right, and ordered someone to bring the screen over.
Chu Liuzheng then remembered the palace rules and couldn't help but frown, but didn't say anything. He sat down behind the screen honestly.
This is just the first time, so let’s do it this way for now and think of a solution later.
After a while, Xiao Anzi led two adults and one child into the hall.
Having been warned beforehand, Chu Qin and Bai Shi didn't dare to look around. Only Chu Yuxin's big eyes kept rolling around, feeling that the palace was so big and rich.
The tiles are shiny, the walls are golden, the pillars are golden, and even the floor is sparkling. The emperor is indeed the richest man in the world!
The gauze screen is translucent and placed in the middle, so both sides can see a shadow.
Chu Liuzheng could see it more clearly.
Seeing that the shorter figure had been turning his head to look around since entering the hall, his eyes wide as if staring at a cat, his mouth slightly open, on the verge of exclamation, he couldn't help but smile and was the first to call out, "Father, Mother, Xin'er."
"Sister!" Chu Yuxin called out to the screen in surprise, shook off Bai's hand, and ran behind the screen. Before Chu Liuzheng could react, he had already thrown himself into her arms, hugged her waist, and burst into tears.
