After eating, Tao Lian followed Qi Yan back to the East Palace.

Tao Yao and Tao Ling talked for a while, then went back to the courtyard of the third room.

Seeing that her son had fallen asleep, she also planned to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, Nie Mulan came over with her son in her arms.

"Is Zhen'er awake yet?"

Seeing that little Lu Zhen was still soundly asleep, Nie Mulan couldn't help laughing.

Tao Yao nodded, "Yes, this kid may have fallen asleep, and he probably won't wake up until evening.

Why didn't Yu'er take a lunch break? "

While she was talking, she had already stretched out her hand and hugged the child in Nie Mulan's arms.

Nie Mulan said with some headache: "He only slept for a while, then woke up, and after waking up, he couldn't stay in the room anymore.

So I hugged him and wanted him to play with Zhen'er, but I didn't expect Chen'er to wake up yet. "

Tao Yao heard this and looked down at her younger brother in her arms.

I saw that the child was also opening a pair of black pupils, looking at her, as if he was full of curiosity about her.

This child was actually only born one month later than little Lu Zhen, but he was much more active than little Lu Zhen.

Little Luzhen loves to sleep, but little Jingyu is the opposite.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao wanted to laugh for some reason.

The two children will not be much different in age next year, but there is so much difference in generation.

From now on, little Lu Zhen will call Xiao Jingyu his uncle.

Seeing her smile, Xiao Jingyu also smiled.

Seeing Tao Yao, she lightly poked his little face with her finger, "What are you laughing at?"

Looking at the siblings, Nie Mulan felt a little funny for no reason.

"The age difference between you is too great." She said with emotion.

"Then it's my father's fault? If my father could have married you earlier, Yu and I wouldn't be so different in age, and Zhen'er wouldn't have to call a younger brother who is one month younger than her uncle." Tao Yao complained.

Nie Mulan smiled and said nothing.

As expected, little Lu Zhen didn't wake up until evening.

He opened his black and smart eyes, yawned, and then opened his mouth, wanting to cry.

But before she could cry, she was hugged by Tao Yao.

"It's time to pee, right?" She said with a smile, while skillfully taking off his pants and peeing for him.

Suddenly, there was a rushing sound.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right." Tao Yao said with a sense of accomplishment.

In fact, such a young child, as long as he grasps his habits correctly, he is quite easy to take care of.

After little Lu Zhen finished urinating, Tao Yao began to feed him.

While the children were having fun, Lu Jiuyuan came.

Seeing Tao Yao feeding the child, she sat down beside her.

Tao Yao didn't shy away from anything, and asked, "You just came back from the army?"

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "No, it's in the palace."

When Tao Yao heard the words, she didn't think much about it.
Xi'er brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Lu Jiuyuan, "Duke, drink some tea."

Lu Jiuyuan responded, took it, and took a sip slowly, but his thoughts drifted away.

He just came out of the palace because the emperor called him urgently and threw an impeachment note in front of him.

The booklet pointed out that Tao Yao was born to Rongniang, and also pointed out the relationship between the Tao family and Rongniang.

The matter of Rongniang's treason has already been labeled as a traitor, now that the relationship between the Tao family and Rongniang was exposed, the emperor was furious, and asked him what his intention was if he had known about it for a long time but did not report it?
"Husband?"

Tao Yao hugged the child, walked over suddenly, tugged on his sleeve, and he came back to his senses.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Yeah." Tao Yao nodded, "I called you a few times just now, but you didn't hear me, what were you thinking?"

Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to hug Zhen'er, my dress is wet here, I want to change it." Tao Yao said, pointing to the position of her heart.

Lu Jiuyuan understood, reached out and hugged his son, "Go."

Tao Yao nodded, and when she turned around, she gave him a strange look.

Lu Jiuyuan was distracted just now?

He's never been like this before?
What's on his mind?
She suppressed the doubts in her heart, quickly changed her dress, and then called Xi'er to come in to pack her things. After packing, the family bid farewell to Tao Qian and Nie Mulan, and prepared to return to Duke Lu's mansion.

But when he was leaving, Lu Jiuyuan called Tao Tian and Tao Qian aside and said something.

After Tao Tian and Tao Qian heard this, their expressions were a little dignified.

After leaving Tao's house, Tao Yao sat in the carriage and asked, "What did you just say to my father and uncle?"

"What happened in the court hall." Lu Jiuyuan said simply and in horror.

Tao Yao frowned, "Is it really just a matter of the court?"

"real."

"Just now you entered the palace just because of the matters in the court?"

"Ah."

Tao Yao felt relieved when she heard this.

Lu Jiuyuan looked down at his son.

The son was four months old, and his dark eyes were very lively. At this time, he was not asleep and was looking at him.

Lu Jiuyuan smiled, bowed his head and kissed his cheek.

Little Lu Zhen laughed suddenly, which made Tao Yao very happy.

She leaned over strangely, "This kid actually laughed out loud."

The child was able to laugh very early, but it was the first time he could giggle like today.

Unable to bear it, she stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed his chest.

Suddenly, little Lu Zhen laughed again.

"Our son can laugh out loud." Tao Yao looked at Lu Jiuyuan in surprise.

Naturally, Lu Jiuyuan was also very happy. He stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.

Tao Yao teased her son all the way, and heard him laugh a few times.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Lu Jiuyuan suddenly suggested: "Yaoyao, the weather is getting warmer and suitable for traveling. How about two days? Let's go to Biezhuang for a few days?"

Tao Yao was a little surprised.

She had been married to him for almost two years, and he rarely offered to take her out on a trip.

But he was right, it was the time of spring and it was very suitable for outings.

She was very happy that he offered to take their mother and child out on a trip, so she also ignored that his behavior today was a bit abnormal.

"Okay." She readily agreed.

Lu Jiuyuan smiled, and raised his hand to stroke her long hair.

……

East Palace.

Since the Tao family came back, Tao Lian locked herself in the bedroom and read the scriptures Tao Yao gave her.

She watched it with relish and was completely fascinated.

Suddenly, a cup of tea was handed to her, and she happened to be thirsty, so she took it and drank it all in one gulp, then handed the empty cup back naturally.

Qi Yan froze for a moment, reached out to take it, and put it aside.

Seeing that she didn't notice him, he couldn't help sighing.

It seems that in the eyes of his princess, he is not as interesting as the words in her hand.

Tao Lian raised his head when he heard the sound of sighing.

Seeing this, she couldn't help being taken aback, "When did you come here?"

Just as Qi Yan was about to answer, she seemed to have thought of something, quickly dropped the script, put on her shoes, and bowed to him, "The concubine didn't know His Highness was coming, so I couldn't go far to meet him, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

The smile on Qi Yan's face faded, he stepped forward and put his arms around her waist, helped her up, and said softly: "There are no outsiders here, I don't want you and me to be so polite and unfamiliar."
