The Emperor may be lenient with beautiful women, but he won't be with handsome men.
After the group sat down and chatted for a while, several elderly men and women arrived.
Grandpa Gu was visibly taken aback when he saw the Emperor and Xue Qianyu were also there, then walked in with a smile and sat down.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I've gotten along very well with your second son. I'd like to go back with you later. Would that be alright if I bothered you for a few days?" the Emperor asked with a smile.
"Well, to be honest, Brother Ye, the second son's family moved out and lived separately a few years ago. You'll have to ask the second son and his wife what they think!" Grandpa Gu said with a smile.
"See, Brother Gu? I told you the old man and the old woman wouldn't have any objections! So, don't say anything about our humble abode being simple!" The emperor patted Gu Shouxin on the shoulder with a smug look.
"Alright, as long as Brother Ye doesn't mind." Gu Shouxin smiled helplessly.
But in his heart he was thinking, "Lu Zheng, Lu Yuanyuan, it's not that I'm not a good enough uncle, but let's see how long you're going to hide out there."
"Grandma Xiao, Yuanyuan hasn't shown up yet. We're about to leave. Has something happened to him?" Gu Xin asked, thinking of Lu Zheng again as soon as she heard that they were going home.
"What could possibly happen to him! He'll probably show up soon, don't worry about him!" Grandma Xiao said.
"Brother Yuanyuan!" As soon as Grandma Xiao finished speaking, Gu Xin saw Lu Zheng push the door open and walk in, and her eyes lit up.
Both the Emperor and Xue Qianyu looked towards the entrance, wanting to see just how handsome this Yuan Yuan Ge, who was comparable to Xue Qianyu as the most handsome man in the capital, really was.
Upon closer inspection, wow, he looks so familiar!
"I'm sorry, something came up yesterday. I only came in when I saw the carriage." Lu Zheng walked over to Gu Shouxin and sat down.
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Zheng. "You brat, not going to hide anymore?"
Lu Zheng gave him a helpless look. "Second Uncle, you're planning to bring her home anyway, so you'll have to see her sooner or later!"
Gu Shouxin: He wanted to go, and I didn't dare to stop him.
Lu Zheng: ...
"Young man, haven't we met somewhere before?" The emperor frowned as he looked at Lu Zheng.
"I've never seen you before!" Lu Zheng shook his head innocently.
He was indeed too old to have ever seen the emperor; he was just worried that Xue Qianyu would recognize him.
He has grown taller over the years, but his appearance has not changed. He and Xue Qianyu were very close when they were young, and they still correspond from time to time. However, he has not written to Xue Qianyu since his rebirth.
“Uncle, you said you came from the capital, how do you know my brother Yuanyuan? Brother Yuanyuan’s ancestral home is Yuzhou,” Gu Xin said.
Xue Qianyu's eyes lit up. He recognized him. This was definitely that bastard Lu Er. What was he doing in Qingzhou?
So, you finally couldn't resist running away?
By the way, Lu Er's maternal grandfather was from Qingzhou.
Lu Zheng glanced at Xue Qianyu, and seeing that Xue Qianyu didn't say anything, he felt relieved.
“Yuzhou! Hey, isn’t that Yuzhou? I know someone, Lu Zhenyuan, whose ancestral home is Yuzhou Prefecture. Kid, are you related to him?” the emperor asked.
He said he felt like he looked familiar, but it turned out he looked like that old guy Lu Zhenyuan, so he didn't look familiar at all!
“Uncle, my surname is Zhou, which is my mother’s surname. My given name is Yuan, the Yuan from Yuanxiao, because I was born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.” Lu Zheng neither denied nor admitted it.
Anyway, he didn't lie, so the emperor can't punish him for deceiving the emperor in the future.
"So you take your mother's surname! What's your father's surname?" Gu Nian asked with ill intent.
