The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Ling Xiao's face did not darken when he saw the man in white who came with Zuo Zixi.

Bai Fengyu?
He is actually your prince?

Bai Fengyu smiled and said first: "Prince Zhongyuan Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be your prince." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "You really can't see Mount Tai."

"There are many things that the prince did not expect." Bai Fengyu was wearing white clothes and sitting on a white horse. He looked down at Ling Xiao as if he were an immortal descending to earth.

This feeling made Ling Xiao extremely unhappy.

He got on his horse and said to Zuo Zixi: "Prince, General Zuo, let's go to the palace first."

"The capital city is really beautiful, with beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and beautiful people." Bai Fengyu and Zuo Zixi smiled and said: "General Zuo, I wonder if I have the opportunity to stay at your home for a few days to experience what's going on here. Real folk customs and home life.”

"Don't worry, Prince, I will arrange a residence for you where you can experience folk customs." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I don't know that along the way, General Zuo and I had a very pleasant conversation, and we felt that we had met so late. However, General Zuo, who was responsible for his duties along the way, had never had a drink with me," Li Fengyu looked at Zuo Zixi: "General Zuo promised me that when we arrive in the capital, we will get drunk together."

"Okay." Zuo Zixi smiled and said, "When Prince Ru has time, I will definitely accompany him to the end."

Ling Xiao secretly glared at Zuo Zixi: This stupid brother-in-law can't tell at all that this Prince Ru is just a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking!
It was almost noon when Zuo Zixi came out of the palace.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley in front of his home, he saw Zuo Zimo running towards him first from a distance.

"Big brother!"

A smile appeared on Zuo Zixi's face, but the corners of his eyes turned watery.

The Zuo family is just a title in his heart.

Although there were his mother and brothers and sisters here, he couldn't feel any family affection from Mrs. Zuo and his father. From the time he could remember, no matter how well he did, he only felt indifference to them.

But when he saw his brother running towards him, his heart that he thought was cold gradually felt warm again.

"Zimo, Xiang Ning wrote to me and told me that you have lost a lot of weight. I thought she was lying to me." Zuo Zixi got off the horse and reached out to pat Zuo Zimo's shoulder.

"The fourth sister is even thinner than me." Zuo Zimo didn't know that Zuo Xiangning had been to the border and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be scared when you see the fourth sister."

"He's talking nonsense again!" Zuo Zixi smiled and looked at Zuo Ziteng and Jiang Ruochen who were walking towards him, "Second brother, third cousin, have you been waiting for a long time? Thank you for your hard work."

"It won't take long." Jiang Ruochen said with a smile: "Brother, you have been tired all the way. Go home quickly. My aunt is still waiting for you."

"I'll arrange for the others." Zuo Ziteng said, "The third brother will accompany the eldest brother back first."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Zuo Zixi called his personal guards and asked them to follow Zuo Ziteng's arrangements.

Zuo Ziteng looked at the dozens of people accompanying him, all wearing silver armor and looking majestic, and his heart was full of envy.

Zuo Zixi saw Jiang and knelt on one knee at her feet, "Mother, my son is back!"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Jiang burst into tears and said to Zuo Xiangning, who was also crying next to her: "Hurry up and help your big brother up."

Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Zimo helped Zuo Zixi up together.

Zuo Zixi took out a handkerchief and wiped it on Zuo Xiangning's face, and teased: "You've been crying since you've put so much rouge and gouache on your face."

"Huh?" Zuo Xiangning was stunned for a moment, then took the handkerchief, pouted her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't wipe anything on my face, my eldest brother will make fun of others."

"Your elder brother is teasing you." Jiang smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Zuo Zixi hurriedly greeted Aunt Jiang's family again.

Aunt Jiang's family smiled and asked him to stand up. She looked at their brothers and sisters and said with a smile: "Your brothers and sisters have prepared a lot of things for you. Your mother and I are going to be the hands-on shopkeepers, so we will let you make arrangements. Ms. Jiang also smiled and said, "Go and take a bath quickly, change your clothes, and then we'll have dinner."

Zuo Zixi said in a deep voice: "Son, it's better to go see the old lady and father first."

"The old lady and your father are not in good health. They have already taken a nap at this hour." Jiang didn't want to cause trouble for her son, so she said with a smile: "When they wake up in the afternoon, you can go and greet them."

Zuo Zixi smiled and agreed, and asked people to bring in all the gifts he had brought for everyone.

Zuo Zimo and Jiang Ruochen accompanied him back to his yard.

Zuo Xiangning went to prepare meals with Cai's mother.

Zuo Xiangyu quietly left the main room and stood on the porch, looking at the smiling girl and woman in the yard, feeling sad and angry in her heart.

Zuo Ziteng walked in from outside and saw Zuo Xiangyu standing alone in a daze. He walked to her and asked with concern: "It's so cold outside, why are you standing here?"

"Second brother, we are in Zuofu now. We are just like invisible people. No one will notice us at all." Zuo Xiangyu said with a wry smile: "Second brother, are you willing to stay here and help eldest brother manage the mansion?" As a general official?"

Many concubines in the capital helped their legitimate sons manage the household affairs.

Of course Zuo Ziteng didn't want to.

He looked at the door not far away and whispered: "Today is the day when eldest brother returns home, so it's better to say less."

Zuo Xiangyu gave a cold "hum", walked towards Zuo Xiangning who was not far away, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, how can I help?"

Zuo Xiangning secretly raised her eyebrows and saw Zuo Ziteng, who was looking at them not far away.

She smiled and said, "Third sister, please help me set the table here. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any dishes that haven't been served yet."

"It's a happy occasion for eldest brother to come back today. Fourth sister, don't forget that whether it's dishes or meals, they must be in pairs." Zuo Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Third sister is still thoughtful. I'm going to take a look now." Zuo Xiangning glanced at Panxia standing next to her and went to the kitchen alone.

Pan Xia walked to Zuo Xiangyu and said with a smile: "Third Miss, you can just command the slaves from the side, so as not to stain your clothes."

Zuo Xiangning went out and looked at the place where Zuo Ziteng was standing. Zuo Ziteng was no longer there.

Now Shi'an Hall is under heavy scrutiny. Zuo's father cannot move, and there is no one available around Zuo's old lady. The two of them should not be able to make any waves.

But Zuo Ziteng and Zuo Xiangyu were like two bombs buried underground, who might explode at some point.

Especially Zuo Ziteng, the look in his eyes always made Zuo Xiangning feel scared.

After dinner, Mrs. Jiang asked Zuo Zixi when he would finish his work, "Let's go to the villa in Mingyue Mountain to stay for two days."

"I may have to be busy for nine more days." Zuo Zixi said: "This time, Prince Ru came to the capital with me because he wanted to marry my dynasty. I don't know what the emperor means yet. I have to wait for this matter to be finalized. , to have time.”

"The Emperor has only two daughters in total, and they have already hired consorts. Who else does Prince Ru want to marry?" asked Jiang.

"Prince Ru knows about this matter, but I don't know how he will discuss it with the emperor specifically," Zuo Zixi said, "I think your prince's intention is not to marry the princess."

"Then we can only marry the princesses of those princes' families." Jiang sighed, "Girls from those families are all pampered and raised, so who would be willing to be sent to another country for marriage. "

"Marriage with your prince can ensure the peace of the border for decades." Zuo Zixi thought of the soldiers who died on the border and said with a conflicted mood: "Everything must be decided by the emperor."

Everyone's mood suddenly became a little heavier.

In the evening, when it was time to light the lanterns, the father-in-law from the palace came to convey the emperor's will.

Tomorrow, the emperor will announce that Zuo Xiangning, the fourth girl of the Zuo family, will come to the palace to pay an audience.
