Although Lu Jingyuan also felt hot in front of his eyes, he was a man after all. He certainly couldn't hold each other and cry like Lin Yuyan and the others. He could only step forward and comfort him softly: "Stop crying, aren't they all back safely?"

"I didn't think it before. Suddenly you have been gone for so long, and I am left alone to guard this house..." Lin Yuyan sniffed and spoke, but at the end of the sentence she could not say a word.

Lu Jingyuan reached out and patted Lin Yuyan's shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed that he had said everything.

Lin Yuyan stopped crying. After hearing the news, Fufeng handed her a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes before saying, "But it's all over. I wish you were safe now."

As she spoke, she beckoned everyone in: "Stop standing outside and come inside. You are not outsiders. Why don't you let me invite you one by one?"

After Lin Yuyan finished speaking, she took the lead and walked in with Lu Youyou in her arms, and the others immediately followed.

Although Lu Jingyuan was at the back, Lin Yuyan's nagging could still be vaguely heard in his ears.

"I have cooked a lot of your favorite things for you, and no one is allowed to leave the table until they are all finished."

"Hey, you're heavy again. If you don't want me to hold you, come down and walk by yourself."

"Lu Jingyuan, what else are you doing? Who dares to use chopsticks if you don't sit down at the table?"

Lu Jingyuan smiled hoarsely and hurriedly walked into the house, where the family started eating happily.

Compared with the excitement here in the General's Mansion, the inner courtyard of the palace was filled with a chilling atmosphere at that time.

After Sheng Jingxuan entered the city, he went straight to the palace to report to the emperor about the northern border, but found that the prince was also there.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and report back truthfully.

The prince was very happy after hearing this. After all, it seemed that Sheng Jingxuan did not get any substantial credit from this trip to the north, which made him very satisfied.

At the same time, he also decided to carry out the matter of wooing Lu Jingyuan more firmly.

The prince was thinking about the future, when he suddenly heard his majesty say: "You go down first, I will talk to the seventh prince alone for a while."

He was greatly shocked, but he had no choice but to bow and leave.

After the prince left, the emperor stood up and walked up to Sheng Jingxuan and asked, "Let me ask you, are you colluding with that Beipan?"

"Father, where did you get all this news? How could my son associate with foreigners?" Sheng Jingxuan was suddenly panicked, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. But he knew what the consequences of panic would be, so he forced him to The panic was suppressed.

The emperor waved his hand and sighed: "None of this is important. You know that I don't like the prince, and I have already had my heart..."

He paused for a moment, then helped Sheng Jingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, up, patted his shoulder and continued: "But don't be too anxious. Rushing for quick success may be counterproductive."

Sheng Jingxuan has heard such words many times, but the original opportunities are now all illusory, and there is even an extra Sheng Shiyou.

He clenched his fists, but did not dare to contradict at all. He could only nod his head and said, "What the father said is true. However, I am afraid that the prince's brother will not let it go. I heard that the prince was thinking about making peace with him a few days ago. We are getting married in Taifu's Mansion, and now General Lu has made great achievements again, I'm afraid..."

"My son is just making random speculations. Please don't take it personally." He immediately changed his words, which made it appear that he was caring about the affection between brothers. After hearing this half of the words, the emperor was really anxious: "Okay! He is really promising now. I am not dead yet. He is thinking of colluding with the courtiers. Could it be that he wants to usurp the throne!?"

"Father, calm down." Sheng Jingxuan lowered his head. Although he said this, he was already happy in his heart.

As long as the emperor does not trust the prince, it will be easy for him to overthrow the prince in the future.

After all, he is the 'Qingjun side'.

"Jingxuan, although you are not older than the prince now, you are about to reach the age of marriage proposal. I thought it would be better to bring you and the Lin family's youngest daughter together. It will be of great benefit to you in the future." The emperor spoke.

Sheng Jingxuan was naturally happy. As long as he could get married to the Lin family, he would naturally be related to the General's Mansion.

However, he did not forget to be humble: "My father is really disrespecting his son. The Taifu's house has made great achievements for generations, but my son has not yet established a career. I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with the Taifu's daughter."

"You are the prince, and you will inherit the throne in the future. It's too late for others to reach you, so you don't have to be so humble." Although the emperor said this, he was still happy in his heart. He only felt that this child had a good character, just like himself.

The prince was not idle after he withdrew from the emperor. Although he was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's approach of leaving Sheng Jingxuan alone to discuss matters, he had no choice but to simply leave the palace and head towards the general's palace.

At that time, they were still having dinner at the General's Mansion, when suddenly a boy came to the door to report: "His Royal Highness is here."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the banquet became a bit colder, and everyone's faces looked a little uncomfortable. After all, they would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Calculating the time, this should be the time when Sheng Jingxuan entered the palace to report back. The prince came to the general's residence at this time, and his purpose was exactly what Sima Zhao wanted.

But where his identity lies, no one can overstep it.

Lu Jingyuan frowned slightly and said, "Please quickly."

Then he whispered to everyone at the table: "Be careful what you say and do."

Then he stood up and hurried out to greet him, just as the servant brought the prince to the second door.

"I will finally see His Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Jing saw the situation and saluted hurriedly.

The prince directly extended his hand to assist him, not letting Lu Jingyuan finish the gift, and then said with a smile: "No matter who you are here today, I am just here to congratulate General Lu for his military exploits. I can avoid any of those false gifts." Alright."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Lu Jingyuan looked calm, and after standing up straight, he said this. This sentence immediately blocked the rest of the words, and it was a bit twisted no matter how he continued.

Not only that, but other people in the family also had a very cold attitude towards the prince.

But Lu Youyou was a special case among them. While everyone stopped using their chopsticks, she was still eating happily, not paying attention to the prince at all.

The prince couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he didn't show it.

Thinking that he couldn't let the atmosphere get colder, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. He rolled his eyes and immediately thought about it. He chuckled and said, "But I'm ashamed to say that I don't just want to congratulate General Lu." Now, there is one more thing that I don’t know whether to talk about or not.”
