Chapter 1067: Prince, Congratulations on Coming Home!
most wet herself.“Spare my life, please! Everything I said is true, not a single word is wrong. You don’t believe...if you don’t believe, I can tell you, my master is the Chu family in Xicheng Dingzi..."Oh, don't worry about anyone else's good fortune, let's just get home quickly. My old man is waiting for us!" Liu Zhiheng felt relieved and remembered his own predicament.
“I was a bit careless just now and sent someone to tell my grandfather that the Crown Prince had been replaced. But the rest of my grandfather is still unaware, and he must be worried right now…”
As he spoke, he ordered the driver to hurry and take him straight back to their Liu family mansion.
As expected, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Madam Liu waiting at the entrance.
"You're finally back! What on earth happened Father sent people to practically wear down the doorstep waiting for you!"
Before Liu Zhiheng could speak, the old man's loyal bodyguard had come up to him again.
Seeing Liu Zhiheng return suddenly, Chang Sui seemed to have seen a savior, "Oh, Master, you're back! Quickly go and see the old master. The old master hasn't even touched his tea, he's been pacing for half an hour."
Liu Zhicheng ran, tucking his robe up so he wouldn't be late and get beaten by his father.
Mr. Wen and Li Laer nodded to Mrs. Liu, then went into the study.
Although Mrs. Liu didn't know what had happened, seeing the few people's expressions were still good, she also let go of her worries a little, and arranged for the kitchen to prepare a banquet.
The sun was about to reach the top of my head, I had to treat Mr. Liu and Lao Er Li to a meal!
As for the Liu family, Old Master Liu was incredibly surprised to learn about the prince's identity.
In the Zilan Palace, Princess Three was already hopping around like a monkey.
"Gu Li! Gu Guanxi is actually the First Prince My older brother How is this possible!"
She pounced in front of Jiayin, shaking her arms frantically, "Gu Li is your boss, don't you know He's hiding so deep, who could have thought, who could have thought!"
Although Jia Yin had some guesses beforehand, she still needed time to process the truth once it was revealed.
Most importantly, think carefully about whether you have ever offended... the new Crown Prince!
However, she wasn't bothered by it for long, after all, she had just received over a thousand taels of silver in bonuses last month!
It's never wrong to be generous with money!
"Princess, please let me go!" Jia Yin hugged the Third Princess with her backhand, "If you shake me any more, my tiny frame will fall apart."
The Third Princess quickly loosened her grip, but didn't let up on him verbally, "Why weren't you speaking up Did you already know"
"I don't know!" Jia Yin spread her hands, utterly helpless. "If I knew, would I dare treat the prince as a servant to command"
The Third Princess blinked a couple of times, then let out a sigh. "That's true, Father is truly amazing! No one would have thought he would be willing to let his prince take charge. But your family's steward is kind and generous, treating the servants and clerks well every day, never beating or scolding them harshly."
"My father probably valued this aspect, which is why he entrusted my elder brother to the Broken Gold Beach for so many years."
As she spoke, her spirits lifted again.
"From now on, your family will be powerful. Once my brother is crowned prince, your family can walk around the new capital with your chests puffed out."
Jiayin wasn't so optimistic, vaguely replying, "Our family doesn't want to rule or conquer; we just want a peaceful life."
Unfortunately, the third princess didn't understand.
She smiled curiously at Jiayin, “I heard that the Crown Prince lives in Xilongge, very close to us. Would you like to go and have a chat with him”
Jia Yin immediately shook her head, "It's best not to go. The Crown Prince just stepped out from behind the scenes, he's probably busy with many things. We shouldn't add to the chaos! When it's time for you to meet him, Uncle Emperor will definitely send someone to call you."
The third princess thought about it, and realized that this was indeed the case. She gave up her thoughts.
As a result, when the sun was about to set, Old Master Feng ran over to deliver the news.
"Princess, your highness, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will be coming over for dinner shortly. Please prepare yourselves in advance!"
"What Father Emperor and Eldest Brother are coming to have dinner!" The Third Princess was instantly excited, exclaiming with delight, "Father still loves me the most! He's bringing Eldest Brother to see me!"
Then, she repeatedly urged Caixun to find her a new dress and accessories.
Since I couldn't speak well, I could only stuff Mr. Feng with a pouch of money and a box of snacks, then went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes.
There are dishes that the Emperor enjoys in his daily life, as well as some favored by Guli when he was at the Li residence.
After finishing all that, she went back to change into a clean and refreshing dress.
Then, the Emperor and the Crown Prince arrived at Zilan Palace under the moonlight. They saw two young ladies standing at the gate.
The one who stood tall and wore a crimson silk dress woven with gold, adorned with a phoenix hairpin, was naturally the Third Princess. Her appearance was both noble and alluring.
Standing beside her, Jiayin wore only a sky-blue dress, with a pearl belt. She also had a pearl hairpin tucked into her simple bun, which shimmered subtly and made her eyebrows and eyes even more bright and clear.
The Emperor was in a good mood today and smiled from afar, "What are you two maids doing waiting at the door The night wind is quite chilly. Come inside and talk."
Princess Three and Jiayin hurried to pay their respects. Princess Three smiled, stepped forward, and held onto the emperor's arm, coquettishly replying, "Father Emperor, are you bringing Prince One here to recognize me as your daughter"
Of course, he is your elder brother. In the future, Your Father…Ahem, well anyway, you mustn't be willful from now on. When something happens, listen to the prince's advice, alright
"Alright!" The Third Princess replied reluctantly, muttering, "Father doesn't trust me. First, he sent Jia Yin to watch over me, and now he has the Crown Prince in charge of me. I am so restricted!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, the prince stepped forward a few paces, standing completely under the bright lamplight.
He was still wearing that dark-colored dragon robe, embroidered with dragons. In the light, the dragon patterns seemed as if they were about to take flight.
He smiled, but his first words were to Jia Yin.
"Lady, it's nice to meet you again."
Jia Yin secretly took a deep breath, smiled and bowed, replying, "Yes, Your Highness. Congratulations on your return home!"
The once composed manager has now successfully transformed into a prince exuding nobility.
No, going back even further, the thin boy who once followed Mr. Chiang, has found his destined path.
The two words "go home" made the prince feel an unknown emotion, but the emperor was overjoyed.
"Still, Fu Niao'er is the most thoughtful! All of my children are home now, by my side. Truly, there is nothing else I desire."
Jia Yin smiled and stepped forward to help the emperor on his other arm, saying, "Such a happy event must be celebrated! I made the dishes that Uncle Emperor likes. In a while, I'll warm up a pot of good wine for you."
"Alright, I'll break the rules and have a few cups too." The Emperor smiled and led two maidservants inside.
The Crown Prince trailed behind leisurely, occasionally glancing at the surrounding decorations, but his gaze mostly remained fixed on the front...
Soon, everyone finished washing their hands and Shui Ling and Cai Yun brought the food to the table.
At last, besides leaving Yi ZuoGuan in charge, everyone else retreated outside.
Jia Yin's cooking is as always delicious.
The Emperor had tasted all the delicacies in the world, and lately he had been taking medicine, so his appetite had diminished greatly.
What he enjoyed most was this kind of happiness with children and grandchildren gathered around.er take off his shoes, tucking in the blankets, and instructing the astonished head steward standing beside them."Butler, I think my stepfather is exhausted. He must not have slept in two or three day...
