Chapter 696 The Sky Collapsed for the Sisters and Brothers
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor and Empress of Dongling got married.
King Xuan Jichuan of Dongling hosted a banquet for ministers from various countries.
Emperor Xuanping of Bei Zhao was busy with government affairs, so he had to send envoy Lu Yanshu to Dongling.
The Southern Kingdom sent General Lou and Lou Jintang. Jintang has now grown into a young girl. She has been taught by Lu Chaochao herself and has unparalleled swordsmanship. Now he is guarding the boundary.
The girl has a slim figure, but her eyes are extremely sharp, like a sword.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The Southern Kingdom envoy saw the empress he had been thinking about and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the court officials miss your return day and night. You must come back earlier to see your people." Lou Jintang's eyes were red. To her, Lu Chaochao was not only a monarch and a subject, but also a teacher and a friend.
"In my opinion, you are capable of handling government affairs now. Why wait until you reach the age of 15? Why not return home earlier? The country cannot be without a king for a day. Everyone misses you..." General Lou gave earnest advice.
Lu Yanshu served as regent for two years, allowing the Southern Kingdom to operate freely and last until Lu Chaochao came of age.
Lu Chaochao was so scared that he jumped back: "Back! Back! Back!"
The two people on the opposite side were stunned.
"Chao Chao is not yet qualified. Chao Chao has not yet learned how to govern a country..." The little thing wiped her sweat. She founded the Sword Sect with her own hands, but she was unwilling to be the head. She would rather be a cool and elegant swordsman, which shows her character.
The two were helpless, knowing that she had her own ideas and there was nothing they could do.
"Young Master, can I learn a few sword techniques from you?" Originally, Lou Jintang had to guard the barrier and could not leave at will.
But knowing that Lu Chaochao was here, he insisted on going with him.
Lu Chaochao nodded in agreement. Jintang was very talented and was a good candidate for learning swordsmanship.
After instructing Lou Jintang, he heard Zhuifeng shouting at the door: "The envoy from Beizhao has entered the city, and it's the young master!"
When Lu Chaochao heard this, he rushed out quickly with a look of excitement on his face.
Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a young man in blue standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"Big brother..." Lu Chaochao smiled brightly and rushed towards him.
Lu Yanshu's eyes were filled with smiles as he held his little cannon-like sister in his arms.
"It's taller, but lighter." He held Chao Chao and weighed him twice, frowning slightly.
Lu Chaochao immediately puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm not thin, I'm not thin, look how big my face is..." The little girl unconsciously showed a bit of coquettishness in front of her brother.
Lu Yanshu laughed softly.
"You've worked hard outside..." He touched Chaochao's little face, unable to hide his heartache.
Chao Chao lay on his eldest brother's shoulder, and his heart finally calmed down.
Lu Yanshu had a scent of grass and trees on him. Although he was just a weak mortal, he always made her feel at ease.
There seems to be a reassuring power.
He carried Lu Chaochao into the house, and Lu Chaochao hung in his arms like a koala.
"Young Master, please let me hold her. The little princess is six and a half years old now, and it might be too much for you to hold her." The subordinate stepped forward and said.
Lu Yanshu shook his head: "Chao Chao is just a little old, it won't be a problem."
"Besides, she grew up in my arms since she was a child." Lu Yanshu's eyes were filled with stars.
At the beginning, his legs were disabled and he avoided the world and didn't want to see anyone. Drowning in despair...
Every morning it is like a ray of light, illuminating his life.
Holding my sister is like holding the whole world.
As soon as Shanshan entered the door, she saw her elder brother holding Chaochao with a smile on his face.
He moved over slowly and glanced at Lu Yanshu.
For some reason, he always felt that he didn't fit in with this family.
When he saw Lu Chaochao, he felt a little scared deep in his bones, a fear that was engraved in his soul.
When he saw his elder brother, his legs began to tremble. He was obviously just a mortal, but he always felt uneasy in front of him.
"This family must be unlucky for me." Shanshan muttered softly.
"Shanshan, what are you standing there for? Don't you even recognize your brother?" Lu Yanshu was sitting in the hall and waved to him.
Although he was obviously scared to death, his desire to survive made him smile and he ran over happily with his short legs.
"Wow, it's my elder brother... I'm so happy..." He looked ecstatic but cursed in his heart.
Rushing into the arms of the eldest brother, with a false smile.
Lu Yanshu…………
He sighed deeply and held Shanshan in his arms.
I don’t know what happened to this little brother, but the first time his mother brought him home and he saw himself for the first time, he burst into tears.
I always feel like I’m not close enough to myself.
Looking at it now, he is still not close enough, but... he has learned to disguise.
"After the wedding banquet, we can go back together."
"Duke Rong is not in good condition. I don't know how long he can last. He is thinking about Shanshan..." After all, Rong Xiangshan is the only true blood-related grandson of the Rong family.
The Duke of Zhenguo has done a great job by treating all the children born to the mother equally.
Shanshan lowered her head and responded sullenly.
"By the way, Chaochao, do you know a girl named Yuzhu?"
Lu Chaochao was stunned.
"She said her original name was Zhaodi, but later you gave her the name Yuzhu. I left the capital some time ago and happened to meet her entering the city. She is a grateful child, and when she heard that I was your elder brother, she came to pay her respects specially." She is a good child who is neither humble nor arrogant, and has excellent character.
"She has only been in the girls' school for more than a year. I casually tested her and found that her talent is extremely outstanding." Lu Yanshu was quite appreciative.
Lu Chaochao nodded: "Yes, her mother got lost and was abducted. She later gave birth to several daughters, but was killed by her father who favored boys over girls."
"Her mother is literate and seems to be related to the Yao family in Xihe."
"The Yao family of Xihe? If it's the Yao family, that makes sense. The children of the Yao family value rules, and both boys and girls are required to study and learn calligraphy from birth." Lu Yanshu frowned slightly. The Yao family of Xihe has always regarded themselves as disciples of saints, and are even more arrogant on weekdays. The Yao family also had several disciples who passed the imperial examinations and were admitted to the capital, but they all held sinecure positions and had long since fallen into decline.
But they claim to be a family of upright officials and have a very high tone.
"Some time ago, the Yao family moved out of Xihe and went to Beijing, hoping to meet the Book Fairy. But the Book Fairy refused to let them in..."
"It just so happens that Miss Yuzhu is coming to Beijing. Perhaps they will meet in the capital." Lu Yanshu said with a smile.
Lu Chaochao shook her head and said nothing. For the noble Yao family, perhaps they would rather the abducted Yuzhu died.
The siblings chatted for a while.
Lu Chaochao was not even half an hour happy when she heard Lu Yanshu say, "Bring your homework here, I will test your knowledge."
Lu Chaochao...
The sky collapsed in an instant.
He took the book reluctantly, his face drooping.
Shan Shan laughed and gloated: "Hahahaha... slap the palms and spank the buttocks..." and clapped his hands to watch the show.
Lu Yanshu glanced at him indifferently.
"Shanshan is two years old and can already be enlightened."
"After returning, I sent him to the Imperial College to attend the nursery class."
"Your sister started school at the age of one, earlier than you."
Shanshan was smiling when her face froze.
My sky has collapsed too.
I can’t laugh anymore! ! !
