There are more than a dozen royal manors, but some of them belong exclusively to the emperor, Prince Cheng, and His Royal Highness Jinyuan. There are fruit trees, flower trees, precious medicinal plants, and even food crops.
Each royal manor covers a large area, so most of them are located in the suburbs. And scattered throughout the imperial city are fruit trees and ornamental flowers and trees.
It was originally built by An Chenglin and his two children's father for the imperial concubines in order to facilitate the supply of fruits in the palace and to allow them to go out of the palace for fun.
Later, An Chenglin took over and cleared out some of the unusable things. After renovating the small palace in the manor, he gave several manors to his younger brother.
He can enjoy the flowers and pick fruits whenever he wants, without having to care about other people's feelings like he did when he was a child.
His younger brother, An Chenglin, deserves the best. He and Cheng Yan originally did all this to protect Ayuan and his grandfather's family.
"Royal brother, why did you follow me? Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to take care of government affairs?" An Jinyuan said with a joking smile.
"It's done." His Majesty the Emperor pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his voice and pulled Lingyi towards the cherry orchard.
"Ayuan, Alin and I are going to pick cherries, do you want to join us?" Lingyi turned his head and asked.
When An Chenglin heard this, he pulled Lingyi and left faster.
"No need, you guys go." An Jinyuan waved his hand and refused.
After they walked away and their figures were hidden by the fruit trees, An Jinyuan turned around and walked in the direction that Fifth Brother had just mentioned.
Cheng Yan brought Lin Mo and Lin Xiu here early in the morning. Cheng Yan and Lin Mo carried bamboo baskets to pick cherries. Lin Xiu wanted to leave some space for the two of them, so he went somewhere else.
This manor is very large, and there are probably many kinds of fruit trees inside. Lin Mo looked around with some amazement in his eyes.
As expected of a royal estate, every tree is well cared for, and the ripe fruits on the trees are large and plump.
"This manor also belongs to Ayuan?"
"It's mine, but now it belongs to Momo." Cheng Yan walked inside holding the bamboo basket in one hand and Lin Mo in the other.
His brother had asked him if he wanted a few manors before, but Cheng Yan spent very little time in the imperial city at that time. Plus, it was useless for him to ask for them, so he gave the three manors that his brother wanted to give him to his younger brother.
It was not long ago that Cheng Yan took it back from his younger brother. To be more precise, it was An Jinyuan who took the initiative to return it before the fifth brother asked.
After all, the fifth brother is a family man, and An Jinyuan has a lot of estates in his hands, so it would be useless for him to take so much.
"Ah? Mine?" Lin Mo looked up at him in surprise.
“This estate covers a large area and has the most varieties of fruit trees, with fruits that ripen in every season.”
"It's so big, are you really going to give it to me?" Lin Mo asked with some disbelief.
"Even I am yours... Momo even took my private seal, so why shouldn't you have this manor?" Cheng Yan looked at him and chuckled, his voice slightly magnetic.
“Ahem… that’s not you…” Lin Mo coughed lightly, his cheeks slightly red, with some embarrassment in his eyes.
"Hmm?" Cheng Yan looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Mo's heartbeat quickened when he was looked at by him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Cheng Yan's heart trembled at his actions. The curve of his lips could not be ignored, and a hoarse sound mixed with a chuckle came from the depths of his throat.
Cheng Yan pulled her into his arms, took the hand in front of him, lowered his head and kissed Momo's eyes gently. Even his slightly closed eyes could not hide the strong love in them.
How can his Momo be so cute?
Half a month later, the Lin family hurried and finally arrived at the imperial city.
The children in the carriage heard the noisy noise outside, opened the curtains on both sides, and leaned on the window sill to look out.
"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Lin Xiaoya opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.
The people on the street wear nice clothes and their houses are nice too.
"Xiaoya, sit still and don't lean out. Be careful not to fall." Lin Xing carried her over and pulled the curtains halfway up.
When Lin Xiaonan heard this, he quickly grabbed his sixth uncle beside him and continued to look out the window.
"Grandma, which one is Fourth Uncle's? The houses here are so big and beautiful."
Mother Lin, who had been inexplicably nervous since entering the imperial city, tried hard to suppress her emotions after hearing her granddaughter's words.
"It's almost there. The place where your fourth uncle and Uncle Cheng live is the biggest and most beautiful. Xiaoya will definitely recognize it at the first sight." Mother Lin said, moaning her granddaughter's head.
Many soldiers were guarding around two large carriages without any markings, and people on the street hurriedly moved to the side.
When they looked inside from the window with the curtains drawn, they saw a few children. Everyone was whispering about which young master or young lady was sitting inside and who could have the soldiers guarding all around.
When Lin Mo woke up in the morning and heard Cheng Yan say that his parents would arrive today, he was so excited that he followed the servants around the mansion, busy here and there, without a moment's rest.
Sometimes I would check to see if Wanqing Pavilion was cleaned up, and sometimes I would check to see how the food in the kitchen was prepared.
"I told the servants to prepare these a few days ago. Momo, you've checked them several times. Are you still not reassured?" Cheng Yan, who had been following him the whole time, quickly pulled him back and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"It's because you didn't tell me earlier that my parents would arrive early, so I didn't prepare anything." Lin Mo stood obediently and let him wipe the sweat off his face, while complaining.
This is not just one or two days in advance, but half a month in advance.
"If I told you in advance, would you still be able to sleep at night? Well, go back to your room and change your clothes, they will be here soon."
When Lin Mo changed his clothes and went over with Cheng Yan, Lin Xiu was already waiting outside the door.
After Lin Mo came over, he soon saw two carriages guarded by soldiers in the middle. The curtains were drawn open, and Lin Mo saw several children sitting inside.
Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he was anxious to go down the stairs to their place, but luckily he was stopped by Cheng Yan.
"Wait here. What if you get bumped or bruised when you go down?"
The troops and carriages stopped in front of the palace, and the soldiers surrounding them quickly withdrew after receiving the prince's signal.
The servants waiting on the side saw the prince and his wife walking over and hurried to follow them. They led the horses, took the luggage, and built the stairs next to the carriage. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
"Thank you, uncle." Lin Xiaoya looked up and thanked her uncle who had just carried her out of the carriage.
"No...you're welcome." The servant who was thanked for the first time was stunned for a moment and said with a stutter.
Lin Xiaoya smiled at him, then ran towards her fourth uncle with her short legs.
"Fourth Uncle, Uncle Cheng, Xiaoya misses you so much!" Lin Xiaoya called out in a baby voice.
"Run slower."
Lin Mo walked over quickly, bent down and picked up Xiaoya. "It's a lot heavier." Lin Mo weighed her and said with a smile.
"Because Xiaoya has grown taller, she has become heavier." Lin Xiaoya smiled, revealing a few tiny teeth.
Xiaonan, who was a few steps slower than her sister, ran over, stopped, and looked up at her fourth uncle who was holding her sister, with some anticipation in her eyes.
Cheng Yan, who was standing by, picked him up with one hand. Startled, Lin Xiaonan subconsciously hugged Uncle Cheng's neck.
"Don't you recognize me?" Cheng Yan held the child steadily and said with a smile.
"Uncle Cheng." Lin Xiaonan showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Xiaonan has grown a lot taller." Lin Mokong touched his nephew's little head with one hand and said with a smile.
After getting off the car and greeting his second brother, Lin Xing hurried over to his fourth brother, "Fourth brother! Big Brother Cheng!"
"Axing, why do I feel like you've become much whiter?" Lin Mo walked over while holding Xiaoya and joked.
Indeed, the skin color of the Lin family has become much whiter. But think about it, it is reasonable, as long as the Lin family members don't often go to the fields to work and get tanned, they are all very white.
For example, the two three or four-year-old children who stay at home, Lin Xiu who has been studying in the academy, and Lin Lan, the third daughter of the Lin family who is already married.
"Ever since our family moved to town, I've been staying at home a lot, so I must have gotten pale from the cold?" Lin Xing scratched his face, a little uncertain.
"Fourth brother, Brother Cheng." Lin Chen, who was walking over, stopped and called out obediently.
"Well, let's go to the mansion first, change clothes and then go eat."
Lin Mo asked Cheng Yan to go and help his parents and his eldest brother and sister-in-law, while he led the four children in first.
Passersby passing by Prince Cheng's mansion from a distance looked at them curiously.
So those are Mrs. Cheng's family? Those two kids are pretty cute, many people thought.
"Fourth Uncle, is this your and Uncle Cheng's home?" Lin Xiaoya grabbed Fourth Uncle's hand with her little hand, looked up and around, her mouth wide open, her eyes full of shock.
Since entering the gate with his fourth uncle, Lin Xing and Lin Chen, who had been a little restrained, did not dare to look around. They always felt that they would embarrass their fourth brother in front of those noble-dressed maids and servants in the palace.
"Yes." Lin Mo answered patiently as he walked towards Wanqing Pavilion, holding his nephew and niece in each hand.
"So big! So beautiful!"
"Take a hot bath and change into nice clothes, then you can eat. After dinner, Fourth Uncle will take you guys around the palace, and then go out for a walk tomorrow." Lin Mo said as he led them for a walk.
"Okay, okay, let's go out and buy a lot of pastries." Lin Xiaoya suggested.
"There are also candied haws and sugar men." Lin Xiaonan on the other side reminded coldly.
"And there are sesame cakes." Lin Xiaoya added.
"Meat buns." Lin Xiaonan said.
"Small dried fish and big roast duck."
"Oven pancake, little chaos."
“Okay, okay, let’s go out and buy them tomorrow. How do you two know so much?” Lin Mo quickly stopped them, feeling a little amused.
"The guard uncle and the uncle in black bought some for my brother and me on the way."
"Hmm? Uncle in black?" The shadow guard would appear in front of them? Lin Mo felt a little strange.
"It's the uncle in black with a mask. He appears in a flash and disappears in a flash." Lin Xiaonan spoke more, which was unusual for him. His tone was full of admiration.
"When the bad guys came to arrest me and my brother, many uncles in black clothes appeared. They picked me and my brother up and kicked the bad guys away."
"The uncle in black is the most powerful! He's a great hero!" Lin Xiaonan nodded heavily.
The shadow guards who had been following the Lin family the entire time and were about to report their mission to the Shadow Chief said:
I was praised by two little cuties again, and in front of the king’s husband. What should I do if I suddenly feel shy?
The shadow guards who had been hiding in the dark corners of the palace: ...
Awesome? Great heroes? Is this really what these shadow guards are talking about?
Seeing the two kids instantly become Shadow Guards' fans, talking nonstop whenever they were mentioned, Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But when he thought about the danger they encountered on the road, although he knew he was not seriously injured, Lin Mo still felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, they are fine.
