Because the person was wrapped up so tightly that it was hard to see clearly, and because Zhou Mingcheng and Zhou Mingxin, who hadn't seen each other for almost two years and were going through puberty, didn't recognize each other.
Faced with the other party's questioning, Zhou Mingxin did not answer directly but instead asked in return,
"And who are you? Where did you come from and where are you going?"
This isn't my first time here, so why am I being stopped this time?
Zhou Mingcheng cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Mingxin.
“Brother, you misunderstand. I did not mean to block the way. It’s just that this place is on the border, and winter is the most unstable time. For the safety of the people of the Northern Desert, I have the right to check people and horses coming and going.”
Zhou Mingxin immediately lost his temper. As the second young master of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, he was being questioned even when he returned to his own home. This was intolerable.
Just as Zhou Mingxin was about to have a good fight with the young man opposite him, Su Jingshu, who had noticed the carriage had been stopped for a long time, couldn't help but call out.
"Mingxin, Baiming, what's going on?"
Why did it stop?
But what happened?
"mother?"
"Mother..." A brat is blocking the way...
The two girls paused for a moment after calling out "Mother!"
"Big brother?"
"Mingxin!"
Bai Ming burst into laughter upon seeing the two of them.
"Ha ha ha ha!
Don't people say that twins have a telepathic connection?
You guys are really something, not recognizing your own family members and almost coming to blows. It seems the idea that twins have telepathy is pretty unreliable.
I must say, Mingcheng has grown quite a bit in the past two years. His voice has changed, and he's gotten taller and stronger. With him all wrapped up like this, I suspect even Aunt Su wouldn't be able to resist coming to you.
Is this what people mean when they say "even your own mother doesn't recognize you"?
Zhou Mingcheng pulled down the cloth covering his head, feeling embarrassed.
"Excuse me, Brother Bai, Mingxin, I think the hats you're wearing look a bit strange."
I was afraid you were aliens who had sneaked in, so I thought I'd ask you to find out. I never expected you to be one of our own.
"I came here specifically to pick you up. I'm going to see Mother and Ningbao. The road ahead is a bit difficult; let my men clear the way. We must get back today, otherwise the carriage won't be able to move tomorrow."
After Zhou Mingcheng finished speaking, he drove his horses to Su Jingshu's carriage.
"Mother, Ning Bao..."
Upon seeing Zhou Mingcheng, a brief exchange of pleasantries was inevitable, but because they were in a hurry to get on their way, the convoy couldn't stop to let them chat.
With Zhou Mingxin and Bai Ming outside, Zhou Mingcheng felt very reassured.
He immediately dismounted and got into the carriage.
Having not seen Zhou Mingcheng for a long time, Ningbao simply snuggled into his arms and refused to get down.
Zhou Mingxin frowned as he listened to the laughter that occasionally emanated from the carriage.
"My older brother is really good at shirking his responsibilities. He just says he'll come to pick us up."
Now he's just staying in the carriage and refusing to get off. I think he's just trying to get Ningbao's attention.
Bai Ming glanced at Zhou Mingxin.
"Okay, why do you become so childish as soon as your brother comes?"
Mingcheng has indeed grown a lot in the past two years. Judging from his weathered appearance in this cold northern region, he must have suffered a lot in the past two years.
Only if he becomes the heir apparent can you comfortably enjoy life in the rear. Be good to your brother from now on.
Zhou Mingxin nodded. What Bai Ming said made a lot of sense. Unlike other powerful people who only thought about vying for power every day, he believed that power represented responsibility.
With great power comes great responsibility. He had no interest in the throne, even though his father had specifically asked him about it when he requested the emperor to appoint him as the heir apparent.
Only after he refused did Zhou Chengxing decide to make Zhou Mingcheng the heir apparent. Zhou Mingcheng was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, while Zhou Mingxin, the second son of the legitimate wife, could refuse the burden of the family, but Zhou Mingcheng could not.
Zhou Mingxin immediately decided to treat his elder brother well from now on, otherwise he wouldn't be so free if his elder brother suddenly abandoned his responsibilities.
