At the birthday party at noon, Chu Heng and Chu Xi, who had not been seen for a long time, hurried into the palace to celebrate their elder sister's birthday.
In recent years, the two siblings have each had their own careers, and due to their busy schedules, they have seen each other less and less.
Chu Xi has to manage the factory and develop the Women's Federation, and she is busy all day long.
However, she stayed in Xianyang after all, and when Chu Yuening missed her, it wouldn't take much time for her to summon her to the palace.
But Chu Heng rarely sees him a few times a year.
In order to expand the bread market, he traveled all over the country all year round, from the border in the north to the Baiyue in the south, and almost visited every territory of the Qin Dynasty.
And his hard work was richly rewarded.
Today, Chuji Bread has become a well-known chain store across the country.
Moreover, it mainly targets the mid-to-high-end market. Its bread and pastries are exquisite and delicious, and have accumulated an excellent reputation.
Therefore, Chu Heng has made a lot of money in the past few years and can be said to be a wealthy man.
Under the guidance of the palace servants, the two brothers and sisters entered the Qinian Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite. You are Yue Ning's siblings, and naturally my relatives as well."
Ying Zheng replied gently, a faint smile on his thin lips.
Today he deliberately wore a white brocade robe, a lotus jade crown on his head, and looked elegant and graceful, with a noble temperament, just like a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family.
Compared with the usual cold and majestic image of an emperor, he appears more approachable and handsome, not at all like a man in his thirties.
He looked at the brother and sister who were becoming more mature and steady, with a look of relief on his face.
Yue looked at them as if they were his own brothers and sisters, and he loved them as well, and gradually began to treat them as his juniors.
After the two siblings thanked En and stood up, two little balls rushed into their arms.
Ying Zhao hugged the strong young man, raised his little face, and his big watery eyes were filled with grievances and accusations.
"Uncle, you haven't played with me for a long time."
"Oh, it's uncle's fault. Can uncle play with you for a whole day?"
Chu Heng picked up the sturdier little guy and coaxed him cheerfully, the polite smile on his face becoming extremely sincere.
It is said that generations apart are close to each other. He dotes on his little nephew very much and will definitely give him a portion of any good things he comes across outside.
Chu Xi, who was standing by, took Luan'er's hand and sat her down, then took out a light green dress and asked in a soft voice.
"Luan'er, come and see if you like this dress."
Ying Luan stared at the beautiful little skirt in front of her, with little stars twinkling in her big eyes. It was obvious that she liked it very much at first sight.
She grabbed her aunt's arm and gave her a loud kiss on the side of her face, her little voice trembling with joy.
"Porridge! Auntie Crab~"
There were only two more people in the huge palace, but it was several times more lively than usual.
Young boys and girls played with cute little babies, and the air was filled with laughter.
Ying Jue lazily nestled in his mother's arms and did not participate.
Firstly, he was naturally indifferent and cautious, and secondly, he preferred to stay with his mother.
Seeing this, Chu Yuening just smiled helplessly but did not force it.
Every child has his or her own independent personality, and what parents need to do is respect and guide them.
Instead of forcing him to do something he doesn't like under the excuse of "it's for his own good".
That is just doing it in the name of love to satisfy one's strong desire for control.
At noon, palace servants filed in, carrying plates of delicacies from land and sea, and placed them on the dining table. The tempting aroma filled the air.
Everyone sat down, enjoying the delicious food and chatting happily.
When Chu Yuening casually mentioned the construction of the primary school, Chu Heng paused with his chopsticks, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
They talked and laughed happily, and the lunch took more than half an hour. The palace maids prepared plum soup to help digest the food.
"Heng'er, how have you been traveling these past few years?"
Chu Yuening looked at the boy's charcoal-black skin and asked with concern in her eyes.
Bathed in the gaze as warm as the spring breeze, Chu Heng felt a warm current in his heart.
He patted his strong chest and smiled heartily.
"Don't worry, sister. I am Master Chu now, so of course I live a prosperous life."
"Hey, you say it so easily, are you only reporting good news and not bad news?"
Chu Yuening pretended to be angry, but her heart was as clear as a mirror.
When you are out there making your way, how can you avoid encountering all kinds of setbacks and hardships?
Heng'er was so nonchalant because he was afraid that she would worry.
Facing his elder sister's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Chu Heng scratched his head guiltily.
Ying Zheng has always been protective of his shortcomings. His sword-like brows were slightly furrowed, and the emperor's powerful majesty was instantly revealed.
"If someone bullies you, tell me and I will seek justice for you."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Heng thanked him with emotion, and the idea in his mind became stronger.
He was not a hesitant person. After thinking for a moment, he spoke solemnly.
"Sister, I just heard you say you want to open primary schools across the country. I'm sure that will cost a lot of money, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Chu Yuening asked in confusion, obviously not realizing his intention.
Ying Zheng looked a little surprised, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his phoenix eyes.
Chu Heng's eyes were bright and his voice was a little hoarse due to his voice change period, but it was full of sincerity.
"Sister, thanks to you, I have accumulated a huge fortune in the past few years."
"I don't like extravagance and pleasure. No matter how much money I have, it's just a string of numbers."
"It would be better to use it to build a primary school. It would be considered as a small contribution to the empire."
