Chapter 882 Leading Her into the Mortal World
After the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching.
Emperor Xuanping passed away this year and the country was still in a period of mourning. The Lu family was close ministers to the emperor, so they didn't even put up couplets at home.
But since Lu Chaochao returned, Xu Shiyun seemed to have been revitalized and her health got better day by day.
Even the medical practitioners were amazed and watched her complexion become more and more rosy.
The Lu family has been living in a muddle for the past six years, and the New Year is also deserted.
Now that Lu Chaochao is back home, Xu Shiyun wants to make her happier. Although we can't hold a big banquet, we can have a small celebration.
There were a lot of messages about visiting each other during the New Year, so she picked out some of them and wanted to take Chaochao to get to know each other in Beijing.
Xu Shiyun has a high status, and the posts chosen by her are from some of the best mansions in the capital.
We are going to the Princess's residence today.
"Princess, do you still remember? When you gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl? At that time, you couldn't even speak clearly, and you kept talking about "shengshengsheng". Your words were truly golden and true." After that, the princess became pregnant.
Lu Chaochao pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Remember."
Xu Shiyun personally dressed up her daughter, and when she saw Chaochao's appearance, she couldn't stop showing satisfaction and admiration.
Xu Shiyun's complexion has recovered a lot, but she is still a little thin.
She took Chao Chao by the hand and got on the carriage. The carriage was moving very steadily. When it creaked past the braised meat shop in the east of the city, Xu Shiyun called for a stop.
"Go buy some pork elbow slices and let Chao Chao try them."
"The pork elbow you loved the most has now been passed on to the owner's son. His son's cooking skills are better than his father's, and you will definitely like it more." The eldest princess's mansion was a bit far away, so it was just right for her to fill her stomach in the carriage.
Xu Shiyun looked at her, always smiling, gentle and kind.
The braised pork elbow is attractive in color, bright red and oily, and it becomes soft and boneless with a slight poke. The boss cuts it into thin slices, just enough for one bite.
It was wrapped in lotus leaves and was greasy. Lu Chaochao couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw it.
Xu Shiyun picked up a piece tremblingly, the pork elbow was shaking slightly, and Lu Chaochao opened his mouth.
The pig skin was soft and melted in the mouth, and it smelled so good that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
The memory was instantly awakened.
It’s really delicious.
"Mom knew you were missing this..." When Xu Shiyun saw Chaochao, she was happier than when she ate it herself.
Seeing her daughter eat six or seven pieces, she put down her chopsticks and said, "The pork elbow is greasy. If you eat too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it. If you like it, ask the maid to buy more tomorrow."
She took out some clean water for rinsing mouth and asked Chao Chao to spit out two mouthfuls. She also gave Chao Chao some mint-flavored candy to remove the taste in his mouth.
When I got off the carriage, the smell of the stew had dissipated, leaving only a faint minty fragrance.
Xu Shiyun held her daughter's hand tightly and looked back from time to time.
The eldest princess knew that she would come today and had been waiting at the door. Seeing the carriage stopped, she immediately stepped forward: "Is it a bumpy journey? Come into the house and rest..." Ever since Lu Chaochao gave her the child, she regarded the Lu family as her savior.
And because he and Xu Shiyun get along well, they have become very good friends over the years.
"Good, good, that's great. It's worth my daily prayers for you in front of the Buddha. You're finally well." The eldest princess looked at her carefully and saw that although she was still a little thin, her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xu Shiyun also had tears in her eyes, and she sniffed softly as she looked at the eldest princess.
"Is this your newly recognized daughter?" The princess looked up and saw a girl who looked like a banished fairy standing behind her. The girl had an extraordinary temperament and did not look like an orphan from the mountains. She looked more like...
A god from the ninth heaven.
Xu Shiyun said solemnly: "She was originally my daughter."
"Call auntie quickly."
The eldest princess was stunned. How could she value the other party so much? A smile also appeared on her face as she welcomed Lu Chaochao into the room.
"Aunt." Lu Chaochao spoke with a bit of cuteness and innocence, breaking through some of her fairy spirit.
This looks a bit like Chao Chao.
"May I know your nickname?" the eldest princess asked as she welcomed the two people into the house.
"Call her Zhaoyang." Xu Shiyun remained calm.
The princess paused, her heart trembling, she turned to look at Xu Shiyun for a long time...
Turned into a sigh.
Today is the birthday of the eldest princess's children. Although it cannot be a big celebration, all the guests who should be invited have been invited.
The eldest princess left behind a group of guests and went out to greet them in person. Many people guessed that it was Madam Xu who had arrived.
Seeing Xu Shiyun come in, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Sure enough, the seriously ill Mrs. Xu was much better.
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Some even saw the girl behind Xu Shiyun and couldn't help but look surprised.
Someone snorted coldly: "I don't know where her good luck came from, to let her get close to the Lu family." At this moment, Xu Shiyun was greeting the guests and did not hear these sour words.
The girl lowered her head sadly, revealing her profile, which was facing Xu Shiyun. She looked very much like Lu Chaochao when she was a child.
She was the girl who was sent to the Lu family to be a daughter several times but was sent back each time.
No one said anything. Anyone with eyes could see that Madam Xu valued Lu Zhaoyang and even gave her the title of Princess Zhaoyang.
This also shows how important this adopted daughter is in her heart.
Xu Shiyun sat in the main seat and Chaochao sat next to her.
Even though Lu Chaochao was sitting in the crowd, her temperament made her recognizable at a glance. Cold and aloof, as if it would drift away with the wind at any time.
Xu Shiyun couldn't help but reach out and hold her.
She always felt that although her daughter had returned, she was different from before.
She was clearly right beside her, but she always felt that her daughter might leave again at any time. She tried to integrate her daughter into her life, to make her more down-to-earth, and to try to keep her.
Lu Chaochao felt her mother's gaze and couldn't help but smile.
After a while, the eldest princess' twins, a boy and a girl, came riding on their swords one after another.
Everyone present looked up to the sky with envy and admiration in their eyes, and the eldest princess couldn't help but show a look of pride.
"Mother."
"Mother." Chen Qiuyin and Chen Qiuchen stood with their hands behind their backs, like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, which only concealed their sharpness when they saw their mother.
The Chaoyang Sect has established a rule with all its disciples that once a child turns sixteen, he or she must officially leave the mortal world.
I can only go home once every three years.
Until you get out of the mountain.
The Princess's Mansion was very lively today. Chen Qiuyin saw Lu Chaochao and walked up to say hello.
The guests were all having a great time, talking and laughing, creating a lively scene.
Xu Shiyun often thinks, how nice it would be if time could stay at this moment forever...
A young girl in a bright red dress stood up and walked towards Lu Chaochao holding a piece of exquisite white porcelain.
I don't know when the scene became quiet.
This girl is very famous in Beijing.
Just because her face looks so much like Lu Chaochao's. On ordinary days, when she walked on the street, people even kowtowed to her.
She neither refused nor explained, but just endured it with a smile.
She also deliberately imitated Lu Chaochao in her dress and appearance. At this moment, standing in front of Lu Chaochao, she looked more like Lu Chaochao than herself.
