Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 140 No one dares to punish you
According to Emperor Minghui's intention, everyone is acquaintances, so there is no need to divide the table and eat.

They are indeed acquaintances, Chu Xing is his right-hand man, and Lu Mingyu is his beloved niece, so it is reasonable for him to treat the couple's family with courtesy.

The pineapple wooden table in the private room can accommodate eight people, and Emperor Ming Hui took the main seat by himself.

Lu Mingyu's thoughts raced.Chu Xing and Liao Shou are almost equal in status. The most suitable way to sit is for them to sit next to Ming Huidi, so she can only arrange for Brother Chong and Liao Shou to sit on the side. Whether it is her or Chu Ying on Chu Xing's side In the end, my aunt would sit opposite Emperor Ming Hui, where she could see her when she raised her eyes.

To avoid it, unless she first grabs the seat on the right hand side of Emperor Ming Hui, and then brings her aunt along...

"Come here, Ah Nuan, and sit next to Uncle Seven." Emperor Minghui briefly glanced around the furnishings in the private room, seeing that these people were still standing there, he smiled and said to Lu Mingyu that Emperor Minghui was also very happy that his niece was pregnant. , has been rewarded once before.

The emperor took the initiative to invite her, which was exactly what she wanted. Lu Mingyu showed a happy smile that was valued by the emperor's uncle. She was about to ask her aunt to go with her, but she caught a glimpse of her sister-in-law Chu Ying who took a small step towards her like a dependent, a pair of elk. His clear eyes looked over, as if he had never thought about his sister-in-law sitting with someone else.

Lu Mingyu could not refuse such trust.

She immediately changed her words: "Yingying sit with me."

Chu Ying nodded reservedly.

Lu Mingyu deliberately moved the seat towards Ming Hui Emperor coquettishly, and said affectionately: "There are no maids here, I'll be closer to Seventh Uncle so that I can help you pour wine."

Emperor Ming Hui looked at Chu Xing mockingly: "Don't pour the wine, lest Shi Jin worry about you getting tired."

Lu Mingyu couldn't help but also looked at Chu Xing. Chu Xing was as serious as ever. Others didn't understand why his wife moved the chair. Chu Xing also came back from rebirth. Knowing it well, he moved the chair on the south east side to the side of his sister, and then turned back. He said to Lu Yun: "The waiter will serve the food from here later, so let's squeeze together with Yingying to prevent the soup from spilling on me."

He had a cold face, but spoke very modestly and politely. He always treated her like an aunt, and Lu Yun thanked her softly.

Chu Xing nodded slightly, then moved another chair to the west, and he took Brother Chong to eat.

Liao Shou originally wanted to give Chu Xing the seat closest to the emperor's lower left, but when he saw that he was still taking care of the child, Liao Shou was polite and didn't insist.After he was seated, he lowered his eyes and respectfully avoided looking at the female relatives.

Lu Mingyu had never seen the Commander of the Jinwu Guard before, but he had heard from Chu Xing a few times that Liao Shou even sent a gift after she gave out her happy pulse, so when Emperor Ming Hui spoke to Liao Shou, Lu Mingyu could not bear to I couldn't help but sneak a look.According to Chu Xing, Liao Shou was only one year younger than him. When Emperor Minghui went to the border to supervise the army in person, he met a young beggar fighting with a big beggar for food. Getting up one time at a time, the big beggar choked to death in a hurry while dealing with him.Everyone in the audience was startled, and the young beggar was stunned for a while, then, under everyone's shocked gaze, he picked up a small half of the beggar's leftover steamed buns, put them into his mouth, and stared at the dead man with black and white eyes. Big beggar.

That young beggar was Liao Shou. I don’t know what Emperor Ming Hui saw in him. He brought him back to the capital and ordered someone to teach him. He is as famous as Chu Xing in the general.The two have a close personal relationship, and their tempers are surprisingly similar. It's just that they were born in the Chu Xing family. Although they have a cold temperament, they have the calm demeanor of the children of the family in dealing with people and things, and they are more tactful in rejecting people. Liao Shou is different. .He showed his talent at the beginning, and someone tried to win him over. Liao Shou directly ordered his subordinates to throw gifts out of the door. When the news got out, other courtiers who wanted to win over a rising star stopped thinking about shame, but Emperor Minghui was very happy and became more and more happy. He valued Liao Shou.

Looking at Liao Shou again, his complexion is dark, his eyebrows are thicker, and although his facial features are well-rounded, they are somewhat fierce.

Lu Mingyu felt palpitations for no reason, and quickly looked at her husband.

Chu Xing had noticed that his wife was peeping at others a long time ago, and now she finally looked over, the corners of Chu Xing's lips raised slightly, and his eyes had deep meaning.

Lu Mingyu looked at Liao Shou only out of curiosity, and he didn't have any ghosts in his heart, so he didn't see the deep meaning in Chu Xing's eyes, but felt that Chu Xing looked better with Liao Shou's background.They are all generals, if Liao Shou is a huge ax and sword full of evil spirit, showing fierceness, Chu Xing is a refined and restrained sword, calm as a gentleman, moving like a killing god.

Such a good man belongs to her.

Lu Mingyu snickered, she had seen enough, she lowered her eyes, savoring the pride and sweetness secretly.

Chu Xing looked at his wife's upturned mouth, and his heart moved slightly. Then he looked at Liao Shou, who had a bean-sized scar at the corner of his eye. Chu Xing instantly guessed his wife's careful thoughts, and couldn't help laughing.Is she comparing him with Liao Shou, and after the comparison, she finds that her husband is better?Really, the child's mind.

"Brother Chong, Brother Heng, and Brother Nian didn't come, why did you come out?" The table was too quiet, Emperor Ming Hui took the initiative to break the silence.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Brother Chong.

Lu Mingyu was familiar with Emperor Minghui's temper, and knew that Emperor Minghui was approachable and approachable in private, but Lu Yun was afraid of the majesty of the emperor, and whispered to his younger brother to stand up and answer.Brother Chong is only nine years old, and he doesn't quite understand how special the emperor is. He wasn't afraid at first, but he was flustered by his sister's nervous appearance, and he was about to leave his seat.

"Brother Chong, don't move, just sit down and say, we don't play by the rules today." Emperor Minghui said in a calm and authentic tone, but glanced at Lu Yun who was diagonally opposite.

These words were in response to her, Lu Yun couldn't help but sneak a glance at Emperor Ming Hui, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet those familiar deep black eyes, like a deep pool.But when she was startled and dazed, Emperor Minghui smiled at her, as if to comfort her, and then turned to Brother Chong, waiting for Brother Chong to answer.

"The third sister-in-law asked me to be my sister's companion." Brother Chong said honestly, his big eyes rolled around, looking at his niece for a while and his sister for a while.

Emperor Minghui wanted to tease him, and continued to ask: "Yes... your niece is here, Brother Chong is still worried that your sister has no companion?"

Brother Chong laughed, looked at Lu Mingyu and smiled, "Sister-in-law three said that she is married, so she is not counted as our Lu family."

"Brother Chong!" Lu Mingyu blushed, and Fifth Uncle stopped shouting in a hurry.

Seeing Emperor Minghui smiling, Brother Chong was not at all afraid, and turned to look at his niece and son-in-law.

Chu Xing touched the top of the boy's head, and rarely showed a smile on his face. Lu Mingyu didn't like to hear these words, and he was very useful.

One of the couple was happy and the other was ashamed, Chu Ying only looked at Brother Chong and smiled.Liao Shou reached out to fetch the jug, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Chu Ying's pretty face. A 13-year-old girl with fair skin and vivid eyes, she smiled delicately and elegantly, simple and happy.Liao Shou has lived in the capital for more than ten years, and he has met quite a few women from aristocratic families, all of whom have an innate aura of nobility. This is the first time he has seen a clean and simple girl like Chu Ying tonight.

Chu Ying suddenly felt that someone was looking at her, and turned her gaze to the opposite side in a daze, but only saw Liao Shou holding the jug to pour wine for Ming Hui Emperor, with a stern face, colder and fiercer than her elder brother, she just glanced at Chu Ying and quickly lowered her head, Use your own food silently.

Emperor Ming Hui continued to tease Brother Chong.

Lu Yun ate in small mouthfuls, listening to the man's deep and clear voice, she always inexplicably recalled the light smile of Emperor Minghui just now, especially the soft eyes of the man, unconsciously overlapping with her childhood memories.There are very few outside men that Lu Yun has met and spoken to in this life, except for ex-husband Yao Jiting, Emperor Ming Hui is the only one who has had physical contact with her.

When she was a child, when her niece broke the vase, she cried in fright. Emperor Ming Hui bent down to wipe her tears and smiled more tenderly than his elder brother did to her.It's been too long, Lu Jun had already forgotten, but when we met again at the foot of Anguo Temple last year, Emperor Ming Hui called her Ajun familiarly, with a smile in his black eyes, as handsome as before, Lu Yun suddenly remembered it.

She was a woman who was disliked by her husband's family, and she was even known as a jealous woman. My niece and son-in-law, Ai Wu and Wu, respected her every time they met, but he was the emperor of ninety-five years, and he even smiled at her. His eyes were the same as when he was a child. Just as gentle, is it because she doesn't know about her and Yao Jiting's affairs, or does she really not care?
By the way, my mother told her that last year's New Year's Eve appreciating dishes in the palace, Ming Hui Emperor did not appreciate Yao's family.

"Ajun, I am the emperor, with me here, no one in the world would dare to punish you..."

The distant words, as if in a dream, suddenly broke into my mind.Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Lu Yun forgot to pick up some vegetables, she stared blankly at her bowl, full of disbelief.At that time the vase was broken, she was afraid of being punished, the emperor comforted her, she didn't believe it, it was not until her sister-in-law came and took her and her niece home that she fully believed that she was really safe.

After that, she forgot Emperor Ming Hui's comforting words.

But now, she remembered, and then thought about Emperor Minghui's behavior of neglecting the Yao family, could it be...

But she has only seen him once in the past ten years. It is impossible for him to remember her all the time, the majestic king of a country?Perhaps as mother said, it was the Yao family who bullied others. Emperor Minghui knew that the Lu family had been wronged. Did he treat the Yao family coldly for the sake of his father and sister-in-law, or simply to uphold justice?

"Sister, why don't you eat?" Brother Chong still likes his sister the most. He looks at his sister after eating for a while, seeing her staring at the bowl all the time, the boy asked curiously.

The little guy didn't understand taboos, and his voice was the loudest. When he realized that everyone was looking over, Lu Yun was extremely embarrassed, and lowered his eyes and said, "Eat, Brother Chong, eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Brother Chong blinked innocently, not understanding why his sister's face was so red.

In the eyes of Emperor Minghui, Lu Yun's head was lowered, her side face was as bright as jade, and because she was dressed in men's clothes, her black hair was tied on the top of her head, so that her slender and fair neck was exposed, reflecting the Soft lighting, sweet and demure, like a person in a dream.She raised the spoon, and the white porcelain spoon reached her mouth, her rosy lips parted slightly...

"Uncle Qi, the braised shrimp here is delicious, would you like to try it?"

The gentle voice of his niece came from next to his ear, and Emperor Ming Hui suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He looked away instantly, and answered naturally: "Okay." After speaking, Lu Mingyu looked at his niece as if nothing had happened. On the plate in front of Emperor Ming Hui, the expression was as calm as usual.

Emperor Minghui heaved a sigh of relief, and lowered his head to taste.

Lu Mingyu looked at the man's outstandingly handsome side face. Like her father, there were not many traces of age on his face, as if he had just stood up, with mixed feelings in his heart.She saw it just now. Emperor Minghui looked at her aunt with fascination, and her aunt was in a trance for some reason. Could it be that some things are predestined by nature?She was afraid that her aunt would become more and more lonely at home, so she invited her aunt out to enjoy the lanterns. How could she expect to meet Emperor Minghui by chance?
What should she do now?
Is there still time to stop Emperor Minghui from being tempted?Or, should she let her aunt choose herself?

"By the way, Ah Nuan, where are you going to go shopping after dinner?" After eating the shrimps, Emperor Minghui raised his head and asked his niece with great interest.

Lu Mingyu's heart tightened, and when she met the man's shining black eyes, she suddenly felt that some things were beyond her control.
