Chapter 2265: Brothers and sisters respect each other
Zhu Chengxuan said, "So that's how it is. I'll find some time to talk to my uncle and the others about this so they don't misunderstand."
Nan Yan said, "That's right."
Seeing that they were only busy talking about business and ignored her, Xin Ping pouted, stretched out her hand to Zhu Chengxuan again, and called out crisply, "Brother!"
"oh oh."
Zhu Chengxuan understood what she meant and hurried forward to hug her.
It was heavy and I held it full in my arms.
Xinping hugged his neck, nestled in his arms like a cat, and said seriously, "Brother, you can't ignore me."
Zhu Chengxuan said: "No, no."
Nan Yan watched this scene from the side, shook her head and said, "It's all because of you who spoiled her."
“…”
"If she continues to be so willful, it will be difficult to control her in the future."
Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't blame Xinping. She is not willful at all."
“…”
"When my son is working, Xinping never disturbs him."
“…”
"She would even make tea for herself and wait for her son to drink after he finished his work."
"oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, a little unconvinced: "She is so well-behaved?"
She couldn't believe that this little devil could be so well behaved.
But she saw Xinping pouting, with a smug expression on his face, and snorted at her.
Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said, "It's true. She's always like this in Chengqian Palace. It's just that she's a little more spoiled in front of the Emperor and the Empress."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Xinping's waist with an intimate look on his face.
Nan Yan looked at Xin Ping again.
I still find it hard to believe.
Zhu Feng, who was standing by, nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other. As a sister, she loves her brother very much. She is sensible. You should also protect her well."
"I know."
Hearing their words, Xinping nestled in Zhu Chengxuan's arms with a smug look on her face.

The next day, although the ministers in the court still wore plain clothes, they no longer had to go to the main hall to mourn. Ordinary officials only stayed overnight in their own government offices.
However, normal national affairs still need to be dealt with.
It was not until dusk that Xu Shifeng returned to his house.
Although he was already a high-ranking official in the court, he was still a respectful younger brother when he returned home. After changing his clothes, the first thing he did was to pay his respects to his elder brother.
They originally lived separately. After Xu Shizong moved from his hometown to the capital, he did not live with him, but set up another house. However, this time, because the late empress passed away, in order to be able to go to the palace to mourn at any time and to deal with some matters, Xu Shizong took his family to live temporarily in his brother's house.
At this time, he was sitting in the study reading a book.
He was also wearing plain white clothes, which set off his pale face. He seemed transparent and looked very fragile.
Xu Shifeng walked in and bowed respectfully to him: "Big Brother."
"You're back."
Xu Shizong coughed twice, put the scroll aside, and looked at him: "Don't you have to keep watch in the palace today?"
Xu Shifeng said: "You don't need it today."
"That's good, in case you can't bear it."
"I'm fine too, but my brother hasn't had much rest these past few days and his eyes are red."
"No problem."
Xu Shizong waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked casually, "By the way, didn't the imperial concubine say that she would return the empress's fertility-giving Guanyin statue to us? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
