Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1439
August, fifteenth.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

A night banquet was held in the palace on this night. Emperor Yuanwu rewarded all officials of second rank and above to bring their families into the palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the royal family.

Xiao Qian is still a little weak. Mr. Feng is staying with her at home and does not enter the palace tonight.

Sima Xuanmo knew that he also used Dong Sui's unwellness as an excuse to refuse tonight's banquet.

However, even without them, the palace was still lively. It was not yet dark, and all the ministers and family members gathered in front of the Xiefang Hall and started chatting.

Old King Fu had not yet fully recovered, but he still managed to come to reunite with his relatives.

Perhaps several of his sons were not close to him, and the descendants and outsiders joined forces to kill their fathers and ancestors, which made him feel more kind to Princess Zhenli and Changsun Tao, whom he had always liked.

As soon as he entered the palace, he asked Princess Fu to take him to find Xiao Li'er.

As a result, Xiao Li'er was not found, but she first saw Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao holding three little treasures.

At this time, Changsun Tao held the first and second treasures in his arms, but his eyes were fixed on the third treasure. This behavior was ridiculed by Lu Mingyu.

"Zhaohua, you can't be partial. Even children can be keenly aware of their parents' attitude towards them."

Old King Fu came forward with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, don't be partial, otherwise your child will not be close to you in the future."

Saying this, before Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao could see the younger generation, he immediately reached out his hand and took away Sambo who was biting his fingers.

He sighed: "I don't know how long ago it was when I last held such a small child. The little girl was so beautiful, exquisite and clear, just like Xiao Li'er when she was young."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "It would be great if I could really grow up to be like Zhenli."

Old King Fu said quickly: "Why do you say such depressing words, mother? You will definitely be on par with Xiao Li'er when you grow up."

Just as he was talking, Princess Zhenli was helped over by Lu Mingyong: "Fu Wang Azu, my uncle, my aunt."

Old King Fu handed the three treasures to Lu Mingyu. He pinched his eyebrows and said, "Even after so long, I'm still not used to the names of your family."

Lu Mingyong reached out and took Erbao from Changsun Tao's arms, but was kicked hard by Erbao.

He quickly stuffed it back.

Seeing him in a hurry, Princess Zhenli couldn't help but laugh: "Are you preparing to become a father?"

Changsun Tao handed Dabao over to rescue him: "Try Dabao."

Lu Mingyong took it, and Dabao hugged him obediently, biting his fingers and smiling at him.

Lu Mingyu shook her head: "This child can be held by anyone. I don't know whether he is unguarded against others or just a little fool."

Lu Mingyong stretched out his hand, but before his fingers even touched Dabao's cheek, he was caught by Dabao.

Dabao took his hand and pressed his cheek against it.

The baby's skin feels warm and soft, like a piece of jade with excellent texture.

Looking at Dabao's infinitely clear eyes, Lu Mingyong looked at Princess Zhenli: "I am very happy that I am about to become a father."

Princess Zhenli looked at him with a smile: "You will be a good father."

Changsun Tao snatched Dabao back: "Yes, you will be a good father, so you should wait until your own child is born before you hold him!"

Lu Mingyu glared at him: "Zhaohua, what's the matter with you?"

Changsun Tao was a little annoyed: "Dabao has never been so close to me."

Lu Mingyu teased him: "Who told you to favor the Three Treasures? Eat the bitter fruit you brewed!"

While several people were talking, a sharp and high-pitched voice sounded, and Emperor Yuanwu, wearing a black dragon robe with red edges, came.

Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao handed the three little treasures to the wet nurse.

Everyone hurriedly saluted: "I have met Your Majesty." Emperor Yuanwu lifted his clothes, sat on the dragon chair, and raised his hands lightly: "Everyone, please get up, there is no need to be so polite."

The chambermaid led everyone to sit down, and the table was soon filled with delicacies.

Emperor Yuanwu spoke again: "It's the annual Mid-Autumn Festival again. I'm very happy to be able to spend it with you. Please don't be formal and enjoy this wonderful night."

"Play music and dance."

As Emperor Yuanwu finished speaking, the beautiful sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of dancing girls came to the center of the hall to dance.

Princess Zhenli was sitting next to Lu Mingyu. She couldn't help but secretly complain: "The night banquet in the palace has been held for several years without any new ideas. If I had known, I would have followed the example of Prince Xingyang and his wife and refused."

Lu Mingyu said: "Don't talk about you, His Majesty seems to be in a low mood."

Princess Zhenli murmured in a low voice: "Something happened just now in Prince Fu's Mansion, and then something happened in Prince Liang's Mansion. With everyone in panic, no one is thinking about celebrating the festival."

Lu Mingyu said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a day spent with relatives and loved ones, but instead a group of people with different thoughts gathered together. Naturally, this festival was not a good one."

Princess Zhenli lowered her eyes: "My mother misses her brother who is far away in Guiyan City, and she has no intention of celebrating this festival."

If Princess Zhenli hadn't mentioned it, Lu Mingyu would have forgotten about Sanmeng.

Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel a pain in his head when he thought that Sanmeng was just talking.

She quickly changed the subject: "How do you use the sachet I made for you?"

Princess Zhenli held her stomach: "Hang it on the bedside, it will make you sleep much better."

Lu Mingyu said: "As I get older, I often feel soreness in my waist and back. It is uncomfortable to even turn over when I sleep at night. It is normal to not sleep well."

Princess Zhenli sighed: "I just want him to be born as soon as possible. It's really inconvenient to move around now. Seeing how big my belly is, I just feel scared many times."

Lu Mingyu held her hand: "Don't worry, I'm still a mother of three children. The experience of people who have been there tells you that when you see him for the first time, you will feel that everything is worth it."

Princess Zhenli nodded: "Okay."

As he was speaking, Emperor Yuanwu, who was just about to reach out for the wine glass, slowly lowered his head.

Lu Mingyu frowned slightly: "Zhaohua, something is wrong with Your Majesty."

Changsun Tao raised his fingers, and Eunuch Lu immediately came to his side: "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Changsun Tao lowered his voice: "Go and see what's wrong with Your Majesty. He can't drink enough to drink."

Eunuch Lu nodded, bowed and took a few steps back, and then came to Emperor Yuanwu.

He whispered: "Your Majesty, are you drunk?"

Emperor Yuanwu didn't react at all.

At this moment, a dancer gently raised her fingers.

This subtle movement was noticed by Lu Mingyu. She threw the wine glass in her hand and hit the dancer on the head.

The dancing girl was hit with a bloody head and instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Everyone stay still!"

When everyone was shocked and chaos was about to occur, Lu Mingyong shouted and trapped the people who were about to scream and run away.

The Qilin Guards immediately surrounded the main hall, and Changsun Tao also came to Emperor Yuanwu's side.

With just one glance, Chang Sun Tao's eyes suddenly condensed, and he shouted again: "Don't move! If anyone dares to move, he will be killed without mercy!"

In an instant, the whole hall was filled with gasping sounds.

Princess Dachang, who was close to Emperor Yuanwu, asked: "Zhaohua, what's going on?"
