After a while, after coaxing the child in his arms to sleep, Lu Mingfei carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Seeing that he was about to get out of bed, the man standing next to him took a coat and put it on him.
Reaching out to put on his clothes, he grabbed Zhao Lang's hand and asked quietly, "Have you had dinner?"
Lu Mingfei had a lot of things to do at the Ministry of Revenue recently. After attending the morning court, he went back to the Ministry of Revenue, so the two of them didn't stay together the whole day, and therefore didn't eat meals together.
Although it was very late at this time, he suspected that this person might have been so busy all day that he forgot to eat three meals a day.
"...No." Zhao Lang's face was still full of unhappiness, with an expression that said "I'm waiting for you to coax me."
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and touched Zhao Lang's tense face. He couldn't help but laugh and coaxed him, "Let's go eat together. I'll eat with you."
"From now on, you must eat three meals a day on time. If you go hungry, I'll feel bad."
"You only know how to coax me." Zhao Lang grabbed the young man's hand and kissed it twice, and the expression on his face softened a little.
"If I don't coax you, am I going to coax someone else?"
"No!... You can only coax me!"
Lu Mingfei also smiled, grabbed Zhao Lang's hand and walked out.
By the time the two of them came out of the small hall outside, the servants had already brought supper and placed it on the table.
The two of them sat down around the table, their seats close together, so they could touch the person next to them by raising their hands.
Lu Mingfei also filled a small bowl of porridge for himself and ate with Zhao Lang. While eating, he said, "I've been busy these days. I haven't had a chance to talk to you about Yangyang."
"Yangyang is the kid inside. I gave him a new name, Lu Chaoyang."
"The sudden appearance of a child here will cause those outside to think of the deceased little emperor. So I thought, when my father and mother come back, I will send the child to them to raise, and tell others that he is my third brother."
"He has forgotten the past now. From now on, it will be a new life for him."
"This child is being raised under our watch. My mother and father are both kind people. This child will live with our family. As long as this child isn't born with a bad temper, he or she shouldn't be that bad when he or she grows up."
"When he grows up, I will arrange a family business for him, let him marry and have children, and live an ordinary life."
Originally, Lu Mingfei wanted to raise the child as his own son. But when he suddenly had a son who was the same age as the deceased emperor, the officials in the court were no fools and would definitely make that connection.
Once those people knew that the dead little emperor was with him, it was inevitable that some restless people would set their sights on the little emperor.
Lu Mingfei didn't want anyone to mention the past to the child, causing the child to have inappropriate thoughts.
Therefore, it is necessary to give this child a new life and erase everything about the child's past.
Moreover, given his relationship with Zhao Lang, it wasn't appropriate for him to keep a child with him for a long time. Like now, Zhao Lang came to him in the middle of the night, and it was difficult to hide it from everyone around him.
So in this case, it is not suitable for the child to live with him for a long time. It is better to send him to his parents to live and grow up with his parents and younger brothers. His childhood will be happier.
After Zhao Lang swallowed the food in his mouth, he asked, "What if he knew?"
"This child has a somewhat cowardly and timid personality, and he's not a vicious person. Even if he finds out about all this in the future..." Lu Mingfei paused before continuing, "That's a matter for the future. It all depends on his decision."
If they really came to a point of fighting, he would definitely stand on Zhao Lang's side. When it was time to be ruthless, he would not show mercy.
But now he was facing a three-year-old child, and he couldn't be cruel to a three-year-old child.
"Since you have made up your mind, let's do as you say." Hearing this, Zhao Lang also knew that Lu Mingfei had made up his mind.
He did not argue with Lu Mingfei over such a trivial matter.
It's just like raising a little rabbit by his side. Even if the little rabbit turns into a wolf after growing up, he is not without a way to kill it.
There was one thing that concerned him more, "Have you decided to ask your parents to return to Beijing?"
"Well, my adoptive father will return to Tong County in two days. I will then send someone to bring my father and mother to the capital." Lu Mingfei said.
Zhao Lang thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about your family yet. Wait until my father and I have discussed everything and confirm that Kyoto is safe, then I will bring your family back to the capital."
He was afraid that something might happen between him and his father.
Lu Mingfei also understood this. If Zhao Lang and his father failed to reach an agreement, there would be a catastrophe in Kyoto Prefecture. If something really happened here, it would be easier for them to evacuate if his family was not here.
Tong County is their last retreat.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to my adoptive father about this tomorrow. Tell them to wait for my news and return to Beijing later."
After a midnight snack, we had finished talking about everything that needed to be discussed.
Zhao Lang disliked the fact that someone else had slept on the bed in the room they lived in, so he insisted on bringing Lu Mingfei back to Prince Ding's Mansion in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, the two houses are not far apart, just a few steps away.
The man who had just said he was going to sleep dragged him into the water and made a scene. Lu Mingfei's last bit of strength was drained away by this man. Later, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even climb out of the tub. He was finally pulled out of the water by some energetic man and carried to the bed to lie down.
Zhao Lang kissed the soft and fragrant Lord Lu in his arms, chuckled and said, "Lord Lu's physical strength is not good enough."
“…” Lu Mingfei is dead, do not disturb him.
But Zhao Lang was in a good mood at the moment, so there was no way he would let go of Lord Lu who was closing his eyes and trying to sleep. "Do you want to live with me in the palace from now on, or do you want me to move out and live with you?"
"When I ascend the throne, I will make you my queen, okay?"
"..." Lu Mingfei opened his eyes immediately and glared at the person in front of him who was so excited that he wanted to make him the queen. "Don't even think about it!"
"I will never be queen!"
"Then what do you want to be?" Zhao Lang lay on his side, supporting his face with one hand, looking at the young man leisurely, waiting for the young man to answer him.
If it were someone else, he would have been angry after hearing such a blunt rejection. However, because this person was the one he loved, he chose to listen to the young man patiently.
"Just be your Lord Lu." Lu Mingfei had never thought about entering the harem and becoming a queen. Even if Zhao Lang ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, he would never be able to enter the harem and become a queen as a man.
If he really entered Zhao Lang's harem, being ridiculed by the world would be one thing, and his parents and family would also be ashamed because of him. In addition, the officials in the court said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Could he really be willing to stay in the harem and be a male queen?
Hearing this, Zhao Lang frowned in distress and said, "But I want you to stand by my side openly and honestly. I want everyone in the world to know that you are mine."
"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the soldiers under his command are his subjects. Your Majesty, I am your subject, and I have always been yours." Lu Mingfei raised his hand and patted Zhao Lang's chest and told this man.
This sentence is quite useful to Zhao Lang.
After hearing this, he no longer insisted on having Lord Lu be his queen.
Seeing that the young man was really tired, he let Lu Mingfei go and let his lover go to sleep.
But as soon as his eyes closed, he opened them again, grabbed the young man who was about to fall asleep, and said, "Also, I forbid you to let that bastard get into your bed again. If I find out about it again, I will send him away!"
"Okay, okay, I get it. I won't do it again." Lu Mingfei was so tired that he just wanted to sleep and didn't want to talk about these jealous things with this person.
Fortunately, after he made this promise, someone stopped waking him up to chat, and he was able to fall asleep peacefully.
***
However, they had not slept for long before it was time for them to attend the morning court.
Lu Mingfei sat on the bed and let Zhao Lang dress him, his eyes still closed. "From now on, let's set the morning court session to be once every seven days, and once every three days."
"If the court officials have anything to report to you, you can ask them to come to the palace and talk to you at any time. There is no need to go to the morning court every day."
"If we continue to attend morning court and handle government affairs every day, I'm afraid we won't live to see the King of Hell before we reach the age of 60." If they continue to be so busy, he is really afraid that the two of them will die suddenly and will not live to see the day of retirement.
Zhao Lang took the handkerchief offered to him and wiped his young man's face. He replied seriously, "Not yet. Wait a while, when the government is stable, and then I will announce the change of the morning court time."
"Let me do it myself." Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and reached out to take the handkerchief from Zhao Lang's hand.
But the man didn't give it to him.
Zhao Lang paused for a moment, then handed the handkerchief in his hand to the young man and moved his face closer. "If you're willing to wipe my face, it's not impossible."
“…” Lu Mingfei was immediately amused.
In the end, he not only wiped the young master's face clean, but also kissed it.
After the two of them had washed up and eaten something, they took a carriage into the palace together.
But at the same time, there was a substitute in the Lu Mansion who entered the palace using his identity.
When they arrived at the palace, no one could figure out when Lord Lu entered the palace. All the officials saw was Lord Lu standing in the court for the morning court session.
