In the middle of the banquet, there were staggered cups and cups, and the atmosphere was getting hot.The emperor occupies the main seat, with the imperial concubine Xijia and Princess Gulun on the left and right, and the crown prince and concubine at the bottom.

The gifts they brought filled the east wing, and even piled up in the yard for a while.Gu Lun's face was always full of joy, while speaking, Lu Zhi stepped forward and toasted her.

Amidst the noise in the room, Lu Zhi stood upright, in strict palace attire, with a gentle smile on his usual serious face.Holding the wine in his left hand and holding the cup in his right, he said: "Pine age lasts for a long time, and flat peaches hold a sun for three thousand years. Lu Zhi only wishes that my aunt will always smile, everything will go well, and the stars will shine brightly."

The smile in Gu Lun's eyes grew stronger, and he kept smiling and nodding.Lu Zhi drank all the wine in the glass, and she immediately held her hand, and said caringly: "I was drunk a lot by those brats yesterday, you can't bear it, listen to my aunt, don't drink too much today. "

Lu Zhi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "My nephew will keep my aunt's advice in mind."

Gu Lun's eyes are full of kindness, unlike the other princes who just drink and let it go.Instead, she kept holding Lu Zhi's hand, not letting him go.

"In a blink of an eye, you are so old." Gu Lun covered the back of Lu Zhi's hand, looked up at him carefully, with some vague emotions in his eyes, "When the emperor's wife left, you didn't know anything, and you slept a lot all day long I don’t want to make a fuss. Looking back, I only remember that when you were six years old, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you sat behind me with your brother, secretly pulled my clothes, and asked what you wanted to say..."

She took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, then smiled again, then turned to the emperor and said, "I don't think he has something to say in a whisper, so he just wanted to eat a plate of lotus root flour cake in front of me."

The emperor also laughed, and naturally everyone laughed during the banquet.

Lu Lin said: "He fell in love with me early in the morning and asked me for it. Where can I find it for him? He said that he would go to the dining room after the banquet to see if there was anything left. It's just that this kid is not easy to coax. I went to find it myself."

Everyone laughed again, and the emperor listened patiently, as if he found it interesting, and said: "In this way, I was more lively when I was a child, but in the past few years, it seems to be quiet day by day."

He never thought about why a prince can't even want a plate of lotus root flour cake.If he doesn't ask others, his brother can only push back and coax him for the time being.When he forgets, when he gradually understands, don't mention it.Want this, want that.Neither will work.

Lu Zhi was also smiling, and said, "It happened so many years ago, my aunt and elder brother still remember it, and they came here to amuse me."

Lu Lin's smile was deeper than his, and he was full of joy. He was eating bamboo shoots with chopsticks, and said, "I remember it for so many years, how can I forget it?"

Gu Lun patted the back of Lu Zhi's hand, "That's still a child, I don't know how many times the other ones can be skinier than yours... I don't know when, he has grown up like this, and he is a good child. I think your mother is watching in the sky, It must be joyful."

Lu Zhi lost his father when he was still in his infancy, Gu Lun kept mentioning the former empress one after another, facing the dead, the dead were like this, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable at this time.

His eyes fell on Lu Zhi, and following Gu Lun's words, he realized that this son who he had neglected for 20 years intentionally or unintentionally, the second son left by his first wife, had really grown up so much: Follow him more, the boy's jumping recedes, and the tenacity and calmness of an adult remain.

"How are you doing recently?" the emperor asked.

Lu Zhi said: "Going back to my father, I just feel a cold occasionally, and I'm fine after taking the medicine."

The emperor nodded: "I still care about it. There is no need to rush to the Faxin Academy."

Lu Zhi responded hurriedly, saying: "It's the son who is unfilial, not only can't share anything for the father, but also troubles the father to miss his son in his busy schedule."

Gu Lun said with a smile: "Your father-son relationship is the deepest, so you don't have to be so polite." Then, she changed the subject and said: "However, the most important thing is to understand etiquette and know how to advance and retreat. The nobility is all there, and the blood of the direct line is not in vain."

Concubine Xijia was by her side, and her second prince was a prince who grew up from a young age. Gu Lun could also say the words "bloodline" with a normal expression, but she had to smile gently on her face. Do not know.

How could the emperor not understand Gu Lun's thoughts.But in this situation, even he couldn't help asking himself whether he was really too indifferent to the two sons left by the former empress.

Lu Lin was handicapped, and the concubine took on a half-true "di daughter" from another family.

Lu Zhi is twenty years old, but he has no official position. If he hadn't been sick, he would still be living in the Faxin Academy with his young brothers.

Lu Xuan, the third prince born to him by another daughter of the Wen family, is handsome, always smiling, and exuding an unruly seriousness all over his body.

They were originally three wonderful children.

But now, no matter who looks at him, he is worse than ordinary high school students.

He thought of Lu Sheng again, the last time he sent Lu Zhi to ask questions in the imperial study, he also gave Lu Sheng an errand in the House of Internal Affairs.It was something that Xijia talked about for more than half a month, and he was annoyed, he just wanted to deal with those things together, and only felt that something was wrong afterwards.

But he is the emperor, and he is willing to arrange errands for whichever son he wants.Thinking of this, the slight uneasiness in the emperor's heart quickly disappeared, and he deliberately forgot it during the long time that he and Lu Zhi Lu Lin hadn't seen each other.

What Gu Lun did was so obvious that the emperor couldn't see it.She just fell in love with Lu Zhi and betrothed her second daughter to him.Bringing out one or two things from the past is also telling him that he has lost Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi deserves it.

It's all true.

But the emperor had other considerations.

From the looks of it now, among the several adult princes, except for the prince, there is none that stands out.Even if Lu Sheng was supported a while ago, it would be wrong to say that it was all Xijia's instigation, he deliberately wanted a "balance", and it was Xijia who just sent Lu Sheng up.

It's just that a position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not enough for him to do what the prince can do. He has to do it step by step, first give Lu Sheng some practice.If it is said that the most suitable thing for the emperor is to promise Gu Lun's second daughter to Lu Sheng, it will be considered a [-]% balance.

But Gu Lun prefers Lu Zhi. Originally, Lu Zhi had no sense of existence in the court except for his identity. Giving Gu Lun's second daughter to him is equivalent to the emperor himself messing up his own game of chess.

The emperor had a headache.

But speaking of this matter, if there is no expression at all, it may not be chilling.

It's just to appease Lu Zhi, and no one said that this appease must refer to marriage.

While taking a sip of tea, the emperor found a vacancy for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was still standing next to Gu Lun, with downcast eyebrows and a straight back, showing respect in front of the elders, but not too humble.The emperor didn't want to admit that, just because of his overall style, his land quality was much better than that of the prince he brought up with him since he was a child.

"The day before yesterday, Qu Li, Minister of Dali Temple, wrote a letter, saying that he is too old to be responsible." The emperor said slowly: "I have carefully considered it. After I recover from my illness, I will let the fourth brother take over and practice my skills."

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, before the others could react, and immediately knelt down to thank: "My son is terrified, this time I will do my best to live up to my father's entrustment."

Gu Lun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled opposite Xi Jia who couldn't hide his astonishment, and rubbed the handkerchief in his hand.
