Chapter 146 Returning Home
On the third day after their marriage, Huo Zheng accompanied Chunzhi back to her parents' home.
Song Anlan and Song Wan'er came to the Mu Mansion early. Mu Qingshan also had a day off today, so everyone in the Mu Mansion prepared a return banquet early.
As soon as the carriage from the Prince of Chang'an's Palace stopped in front of the Mu Mansion, Mu Kaiji, Song Anlan and Song Wan'er came out to greet them.
Huo Zheng carried Xiaoxing back out of the carriage, and did not forget to turn back to help Chunzhi.
Xiaoxing has been used to being held by his father every day these days.
As soon as Chunzhi got off the carriage, Song Wan'er hugged her, "Sister, I missed you so much."
When the two sisters were at the Song residence, they spent every day together. Later, when Chunzhi returned to the Mu residence, Song Wan'er also moved in and even recognized Madam Mu as her godmother.
After Chunzhi got married, Song Wan'er couldn't get used to it and couldn't sleep after returning to the Song residence.
Song Wan'er pulled Chunzhi aside and talked about all the uncomfortable things she had felt these past few days.
Mu Kaiji and Song Anlan walked on Huo Zheng's left and right, and both wanted to reach out and take Xiaoxing back.
As a result, Xiaoxing lay back on his father's shoulder and felt very comfortable, not wanting to move at all.
Entered the Mu Mansion and walked into the hall.
Mu Qingshan was sitting on the armchair, but Madam Mu couldn't help but stand up and come out to greet him.
"Mother." Chunzhi stepped forward and saluted her mother.
Madam Mu supported Chunzhi and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite."
"My son-in-law greets my parents-in-law." Huo Zheng walked back with Xiaoxing in his arms and bowed to Mu Qingshan and his wife.
"Your Highness is so polite." Mu Qingshan looked at Huo Zheng's skillful way of holding the child and knew that his daughter was living well after marrying into the Chang'an Palace.
Is there any prince in the royal family who can walk outside holding his son?
It was still some time before lunch. Mrs. Mu missed her daughter and had a lot to say to her, so she asked someone to take Xiaoxing back from Huo Zheng and took Chunzhi, Song Wan'er and the others to the backyard to talk.
Let Huo Zheng and Mu Qingshan, the father-in-law and son-in-law, chat in the hall.
Mu Kaiji and Song Anlan stayed together.
When we went to the backyard, the maids had already brewed tea and set out a table of snacks.
"Come back, Xiao Xinghui, let your grandma hold you." Madam Mu took Xiao Xinghui from the maid's hands, sat down and asked Chunzhi how she had been spending the past two days in the Chang'an Palace.
Chunzhi said, "Everything is fine."
Song Wan'er sat next to Chunzhi and said, "Looking at the way Prince Chang'an carried Xiaoxing back, I know that my sister must be living well in the Prince Chang'an's mansion."
Chunzhi had a smile on her lips.
Yuzhu said, "The way Prince Chang'an treats Sister Chunzhi is beyond description."
When Chunzhi and Huo Zheng were about to get married, Princess Anyang sent Yuzhu, Lady Cao and others to the Mu Mansion to help.
After the wedding, Lady Cao and the others returned to the Princess's residence, leaving Yuzhu alone by Chunzhi's side.
The eldest princess was not in a hurry to call Yuzhu back, so Chunzhi asked Yuzhu to stay with her for a while longer.
Yuzhu knew best how Chunzhi was doing in the Chang'an Palace these days.
Now that she said this in the Mu Mansion, Madam Mu and Song Wan'er naturally felt much more relieved.
Madam Mu talked to Chunzhi for a while before asking her, "When you went to the palace with the prince to express your gratitude on the second day of your wedding, did the queen say anything?"
Madam Mu knew that Queen Wang did not like her daughter-in-law Chunzhi.
Chunzhi said, "The Queen only told me and Huo Zheng to live a good life, and didn't say anything else."
"Really?" Mrs. Mu was a little skeptical. She was afraid that Chunzhi had been wronged in the palace and didn't tell anyone.
Chunzhi smiled and said, "The Empress seemed to like Xiao Xinghui very much. She even asked the Emperor to give him a good name, Zi'an. Later, she even told us some good ways to raise a child."
"I see." Madam Mu understood immediately after hearing this. "Our little Xinghui is very likable."
Many mothers-in-law do not like their daughters-in-law, but they like their grandchildren. With the younger generation acting as a link, the relationship can be eased.
Prince Chang'an has a special affection for Chunzhi. With him and Xiaoxinghui around, even if Queen Wang is not satisfied with Chunzhi as the Princess of Chang'an at first, she will not make things too difficult for her.
Xiao Xing was surrounded by Madam Mu, Song Wan'er and the others, and was amused to the point of giggling.
Chubby, fair children are so adorable.
"What is Queen Wang dissatisfied with, sister?" Song Wan'er said, "The woman she originally favored, Wang's Sixth Lady, married on the same day as sister, but she got into a fight with the original wife when she entered the house. And she even accidentally injured Lu Jingyun. It's said that Lu Jingyun suffered a head injury and is still bedridden."
"Is this really true?"
Chunzhi had been with Huo Zheng all day for the past two days and had no idea that such a thing would happen on the wedding day.
"Sister, don't you know yet?" Song Wan'er said, "This matter has spread all over the capital. Everyone is laughing at Lu Zhuangyuan's joke."
Ever since Song Wan'er found out about Chunzhi and Lu Jingyun's past, she felt extremely angry when she saw the chaos in Lu Zhuangyuan's family.
However, after Chunzhi broke up with Lu Jingyun, she seemed to no longer care about the Lu family's affairs.
Now that she heard that Lu Jingyun was accidentally injured by Wang Yiyue and Ji Ruzhen, she didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Song Wan'er quickly changed the subject and said to Chunzhi, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just looking at the fight between Wang Yiyue and Ji Ruzhen is enough to show that Queen Wang's vision is not very good. Prince Chang'an's vision is better."
"You." Chunzhi smiled and raised her hand to scratch the tip of Song Wan'er's nose.
Song Wan'er smiled and said, "Prince Chang'an likes my sister. His vision is first-rate."
Madam Mu also smiled and whispered, "These words can only be said at home, in front of your own family. You can't say them outside, understand?"
Song Wan'er said, "I know, I'm not stupid."
She only talks a lot in front of her sister, and she still behaves like a lady when there are outsiders around.
As they were talking, it was soon time for lunch.
Mrs. Mu held Xiaoxing in her arms for a long time, and her arms felt a little sore. Seeing this, Chunzhi took the child and took Song Wan'er and others to the flower hall for dinner.
When they arrived at the court, Huo Zheng, Mu Qingshan and others were just walking out of the hall, talking about what they were going to do next to benefit the country and the people.
Mu Qingshan was a lone minister, and he had previously deliberately kept his distance from Prince Chang'an. However, the more he interacted with Prince Chang'an, the more he felt that he was a rare person among the princes who cared about the people.
Song Anlan had been working for Prince Chang'an for a long time, and Mu Kaiji had changed his opinion of Prince Chang'an time and time again.
Now even Mu Qingshan couldn't help but admire the King of Chang'an in his heart.
As they were talking, Huo Zheng walked towards Chunzhi as soon as he saw her, and took Xiaoxing back from her.
Chunzhi said softly with some helplessness: "I just held it."
Huo Zheng lowered his voice and said to her, "I rarely have free time. If I don't hug him more, he will grow up quickly."
Chunzhi glanced at him and said, "Then let me hold you when you get tired."
Huo Zheng nodded, and the couple walked into the flower hall together.
