Chapter 374 The Father-in-law Arrives
As for the eldest prince, all we can say is that he really understands the emperor very well, and he is worthy of being the male protagonist of the original book.
He knew that although the emperor had agreed to the marriage, as the default heir to the throne, he would not easily grant the position of principal wife. Xu Yaying could only get the position of concubine at most.
So he took an unconventional approach and exacerbated the consequences of an accident, deliberately causing himself to be injured and unconscious, speeding up her marriage with Xu Yaying at the cost of his own safety. With this ruthlessness, I believe he will definitely be able to marry his eldest prince and princess as he wishes.
He looked down at his belly and sighed, "Oh... How could it be such a coincidence? How did I get pregnant right at the beginning? It seems like I missed a lot of wonderful things..."
Lu Yingxing rested his chin on her shoulder and put his arms around her belly from behind, feeling like he was holding the whole world. He didn't understand his wife's regret, he just liked this coincidence.
The two of them played in the study room for the entire day. Even though the room was large, they insisted on squeezing into one chair and sharing the same desk.
You read the memorials while I write the plans, and we occasionally exchange opinions. This was the scene that old Prince Zhuo saw when he walked in. He stood there in a daze, his long eyelashes drooping, covering up all his regrets and envy.
"Father?" Shen Yu was the first to notice him and exclaimed.
This was the first time that Old Zhuo Wang came to their yard alone. Perhaps it was something urgent, so she got up quickly and invited him in.
Lu Yingxing looked at his father with a bit of resentment. He had specifically instructed that no one should disturb him today if they came to see him. His matters should be left to Wu Zhong, and the princess' matters should be left to Fu Yunxiu.
However, he had not expected that the person who came would be his father... Indeed, apart from him and his wife, no one in the mansion would dare to stop this person. It was a wrong decision.
Seeing his son's deflated expression, the old prince finally felt better, and even the tension of his father-in-law preparing to come to his house was relieved a lot.
Mu Ling sat alone under the eaves in the yard
He was basking in the sun on the steps. After so many days, although his injuries had not yet healed, they were about 50% healed.
After returning home, the old people in the mansion were worried that his injuries had not healed. Even though there was a miracle doctor on duty and even though he repeatedly assured them, the old guys would not let him go out no matter what. He could only walk in the yard every day.
But compared to his father-in-law coming over, he suddenly felt that those boring days before were pretty good...
Looking at his concerned daughter-in-law, he sighed deeply again, "Get ready, grandpa will be here tomorrow."
Shen Yu was stunned. Grandpa?
She looked up at Lu Yingxing and saw that he was obviously stunned and was obviously surprised by the answer, but since the old man was here, they would definitely treat him well.
"Okay, father. May I ask if Grandpa has any taboos? Did you have a fixed place to stay when you came to the mansion before?"
He looked at this obedient daughter-in-law with complicated eyes. How should he tell her that her grandfather hated him the most? He didn't have a fixed residence, because this was his first visit...
Lu Yingxing stepped forward unhappily, blocking his father's view of his wife, feeling that there was something fishy going on here.
If he remembered correctly, in his impression... Grandfather really disliked his father, the King, because this man kidnapped Grandfather's most beloved daughter, especially since her mother was no longer alive, and the reason was that she committed suicide for him...
Well, we can't control this matter.
"My wife is very busy. Since you are free, why don't you make your own arrangements? Go and see Butler Lu now!" Lu Yingxing had a wary look on his face, as if he wanted to drive him away.
Old Zhuo Wang was immediately unhappy. What was wrong with him asking his daughter-in-law to entertain his father-in-law? Wasn't his father-in-law the grandfather of this bastard?
He showed a kind smile, waved to Shen Yu and said, "I think your grandpa came to see you this time. He hasn't heard the good news of your pregnancy yet. I believe he will be happy to see such a well-behaved granddaughter-in-law like you."
Yes, that's right! My father-in-law will never come to see me. He's sick anyway, so he's not suitable for entertaining guests, right?
Shen Yu got goose bumps from his smile, then looked at Lu Yingxing's alert expression. Could it be that his grandfather was very fierce?
"Haha! Don't think about pushing my wife out. We will definitely entertain grandpa well when he comes, but don't think about running away!"
Old King Zhuo shrugged and made no comment on his son's words.
"Of course. Anyway, this is your grandfather's first time to come to the palace. Your mother has handled all these matters before. Yu'er is the current Princess Zhuo. Anyway, I will leave this matter to you."
After saying that, he turned around and left, winking at Shen Yu in a friendly manner, indicating that he would leave it to her!
Shen Yu, "..." Is Ah Xing's grandfather really scary?
Lu Yingxing was speechless about his father's irresponsible behavior and could only call Uncle Lu to ask questions.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, what did you say?"
In the study, Uncle Lu stroked his chest and gasped. When he heard again who was coming tomorrow, he immediately screamed and rushed out, hurriedly gathering the servants in the mansion, saying that there would be a distinguished guest tomorrow and he must be received with the highest qualifications! !
It was the first time Shen Yu saw Uncle Lu so upset, while Lu Yingxing frowned in confusion. The couple looked at each other, both of them slightly worried about tomorrow...
Especially Shen Yu, she didn't forget her grandfather from the Su family, who was also in Xi County at this time...
The next morning, except for the day when Prince Zhuo was welcomed back home, the gate of Prince Zhuo's mansion, which had been without an owner for more than ten years, was suddenly opened again.
The steps in front of the door, the plaque on the door, and the majestic stone lions on both sides of the door were all wiped clean. The Zhuocheng army, dressed in armor, stood in two rows at the door on guard.
This scene caused the passers-by to talk about what was going on in Prince Zhuo's mansion. Was it that the pregnant princess was going to travel?
Under the gaze of everyone, an inconspicuous carriage appeared in front of the palace, and a handsome young man led a white-haired old man out of the carriage.
The onlookers stretched their heads to look around, who is this?
Oh, I don’t know…
When the people were confused, an old steward rushed out of the palace, followed by eight neatly dressed stewards of all sizes. Everyone smiled and greeted them respectfully, "Greetings to the old gentleman and the young master, please come in... The princess wanted to come to greet you in person, but she is pregnant, and the prince has ordered that the princess is not allowed to come to the front door to greet you. Our prince has rushed back from the army, please come in, old gentleman."
"Thank you."
The old gentleman was quite polite and was respectfully invited into the palace by everyone, away from all the onlookers' gazes.
However, the news that a white-haired old man had come to Prince Zhuo's mansion had spread quickly.
Old King Zhuo was very nervous at this moment. Knowing that someone was coming, his bastard son actually left the house early in the morning. He definitely did it on purpose!
While he was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, Butler Lu had already led people into the yard, "Old man, please come this way. The princess had someone prepare the yard yesterday. Do you two like it? If you are not satisfied, you can ask for it. The princess has prepared two other yards as alternatives..."
