Shangguan Ziqi asked Qingfeng to push the wheelchair forward, and Yu Zheng followed.
"Ziqi greets his third uncle, third aunt, and third old lady." Shangguan Ziqi called them respectfully.
"Ma'am, come here. This is Third Uncle and his family returning to Beijing." He pulled Yu Yuzheng forward and introduced them one by one.
"Niece-in-law greets uncle, aunt and old lady." This was the first time Yu Yuzheng met people from the third house.
The third master of the Rong Palace, Shangguan Hongzhe, has a family of five.
The third old lady is Aunt Wang.
The third lady is Rong.
The second son, Shangguan Ziling, was about fifteen years old.
The third young lady, Shangguan Yan, was about twelve years old.
They also have an older sister named Shangguan Ru, who was born on the same day as Shangguan Zifeng.
I heard that she was married during the term of the third master, in the place where he last served.
"Ziqi, did you just come back from outside?" asked the third master.
"Yes, Third Uncle."
This Third Uncle is much stronger than the Second Uncle. The difference is like heaven and earth.
He was well-educated and passed the imperial examination. Although he was not among the top few, he was still among the top 50.
Shangguan Ziqi respects his third uncle more.
"Ziqi's wife's belly is so big, why are you still taking her out for a stroll?" The third old lady asked with a smile.
She was smiling. Yu Yuzheng was good at observing micro-expressions. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with her smile, but it seemed that the smile did not reach her eyes.
There was a hint of squinting in his smile.
"Yes, Ziqi. You have to take good care of your wife." The third wife also said with a smile.
"We rested at Concubine Qi's farm for a few months. Our second brother was about to get married, so we came back." Shangguan Ziqi explained respectfully.
"Hello, Brother Ziqi." The two younger ones stepped forward to greet him.
"I didn't expect that my two brothers and sisters have grown up so much. Time has passed so quickly after not seeing them for a few years."
At this time, Li Daguanjia came out, and the gatekeeper went in to report to him.
"The Third Madam, the Third Master, and the Third Madam have returned home. The Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Master's wife have also returned home. We are really in time today, so let's go home together. Please come in."
Butler Li was very considerate and asked the servants to help lead the horses and move the carriages.
The third wife came back from far away, so of course she brought a lot of gifts.
Let’s go to the main courtyard first.
All the masters of the palace are gathered here.
After greeting each other, they sat down.
"Third brother, you will be gone for another three years. The emperor said that your performance during this term was good, and your new position will be arranged in the next few days. You don't have to be sent to another post." The prince was in a good mood when he saw his third brother.
Looking at the Second Master again, he is just looking at a pile of shit.
"Thank you, big brother, for speaking well of me in front of the emperor. Otherwise, I might have to serve another term." The third master stood up and bowed to the prince.
"We are family and brothers, so it's only natural for us to help each other." The prince waved his hand indifferently.
The third master bowed again, acting like a well-mannered scholar very well.
The third master and the second master are only one year apart in age.
Yu Yuzheng saw that there was a huge difference between him and the second master.
It is very important to educate children well.
Looking at the third old lady, although she is old, about the same age as the second old lady, her appearance gives the impression that she is a well-educated lady from a noble family.
Gentle and quiet, with standard sitting posture.
There is a kind of wisdom that radiates from the inside out. No wonder he was able to raise his son so well.
I heard that it was brought back by the old prince from the border, but I don't know its identity.
She did have an apparent identity, saying that she was the adopted daughter of a garrison commander in a border town, but nothing more specific was known.
When the old prince was accidentally injured on the battlefield, she was the one who took care of him personally, took him into her room, and returned to the palace pregnant.
"You have returned at the right time. In three days, the head of the mansion will be expecting a baby. You, my third brother, will help to entertain the guests. The king has written to you to tell you about this."
"Yes. But the prince has two wives. In the future..." The third master seemed very concerned about the prince.
"The matter has been decided and cannot be changed. He was the one who got bewitched by accident." The prince was also angry about this matter. The second son was a child who had experienced too little.
It's so easy for him to be tricked. Let him take care of things on his own in the future.
When Shangguan Zishu heard that he was being talked about, he lowered his head in shame.
The Third Master and the Third Lady's eyes were focused on the Crown Prince.
That look is meaningful.
"This is the Crown Prince's Consort, right? Oh, her belly is so big." The Third Lady looked at Yu Chaoyang enthusiastically and changed the subject.
That look was so gentle and loving.
"Aunt San, it's already seven months." Yu Chaoyang touched his belly unconsciously.
This was all she hoped for.
But when she saw Yu Yuzheng, whose belly was much bigger than hers, she felt unhappy again.
"It will be soon, the baby will be born in three months.
It's cold today, so try to stay out as little as possible in the future. This is the time when the fetus grows the fastest. Aunt San brought some local rituals from Luohe City, many of which are very nourishing.
Auntie San will send some to your yard when she has prepared them."
The third wife showed great concern for Yu Chaoyang.
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Yu Chaoyang was very happy that Third Aunt liked her so much the first time they met.
In her previous life, the third aunt particularly liked the Princess of Nanhua County. When she became pregnant, she would send gifts to the Princess of Nanhua's courtyard every few days.
"Hehe, wife-in-law Zhe, don't forget to send some from wife-in-law Ziqi as well." The third old lady reminded.
The third lady's face froze, she knew that she had not thought it through and her words were not appropriate.
"Of course, of course. Ziqi's wife also has some." The Third Lady immediately made amends.
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Yu Zheng also immediately thanked her.
She felt that it was impossible for the Third Lady to ignore her for no reason.
Is it because she is not the Crown Prince's Consort? She wants to have a good relationship with the Crown Prince's Consort?
It shouldn’t be that simple, and I couldn’t think of the reason for a moment.
"Ziqi got into such a big trouble, and my uncle was away and couldn't help. I feel really ashamed." The third master then looked at his uncle and asked Guan Ziqi about his misfortune.
"Third uncle, you're welcome."
"Your father wrote to me saying that you had been in a coma for more than half a year. Who cured you?" The third master only received a letter from his eldest brother saying that he had woken up, but he did not say who cured him.
When the third master asked this question, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Yu Zheng observed very carefully.
This family was completely unfamiliar to her and she had no emotional foundation with them, so when they talked, she just watched and listened as a bystander.
Third Aunt's behavior just now made her feel very uncomfortable. Normally, on the way into the house, Third Aunt should have cared about her niece-in-law and should have been very enthusiastic towards her.
It was only after she came to the main courtyard and saw Yu Chaoyang that she showed concern, which was a bit unreasonable.
Even though Yu Chaoyang was the Crown Prince's Consort, she was still the Princess' biological daughter-in-law. They shouldn't be so close.
Is she too sensitive or does she think too much?
"He is a miracle doctor." Shangguan Ziqi would definitely not tell the truth and would just give a simple answer perfunctorily.
The prince and princess remained silent.
"Has he found a way to cure your leg?" The third master's tone was a little anxious, as if he was very concerned about his nephew's leg.
"He said that his medical skills are limited, and he has returned to his master to continue learning. After he studies for a while, he will see if he can cure my nephew's leg." Shangguan Ziqi repeated the lie he had prepared long ago.
"Oh, that's good. I hope he can finish his studies and come to Beijing as soon as possible to treat your leg." The third master, who had just sat up straight, leaned back in his chair and relaxed after hearing this.
This small action was not obvious or abrupt, but it gave Yu Zheng some new ideas.
She is good at observing these subtle movements.
This Third Uncle definitely doesn't want her husband to be able to stand up; she is 70% sure of this idea.
It's just her guess. Nothing can be counted without evidence.
