Chapter 64: Many backers

Lunar New Year's eve.

There were firecrackers all over the capital, and festive window grilles were posted everywhere.

 The children were wearing brand new clothes and playing around.

 Lu Chaochao has been here for eleven months!

 Happily congratulated, she has grown another tooth and is now a baby with three teeth.

   【Happy, happy, one step closer to eating a big chicken drumstick. 】

No matter who she met, she always had her big front teeth bared, revealing three tiny white teeth.

Mrs. Xu's cheeks hurt when she saw it: "Okay, okay, mom knows that you have another tooth. When I come back in the evening, I will eat chicken drumsticks for you." This girl kept shouting in her dreams, "Tooth, tooth, tooth..."

Lu Chaochao smiled broadly and became happy after getting the chicken drumsticks he wanted.

 Complex clothing never made her irritated.

"Today we are going to the palace to offer sacrifices to heaven, and there will be a palace banquet later, so you have to be obedient." Mrs. Xu put her in a thick coat. It was very cold to offer sacrifices to the sky, and she was worried that Lu Chaochao would freeze.

After finishing dressing, Lu Chaochao glanced at his mother.

 Sneakly get under the bed and use your hands and feet to push out a small box.

There was a small key hanging inside his neck. With a click, the key opened.

 There is a bunch of jade pendants inside.

Just any piece of it would make her scumbag father drool, but she has a lot of them, and the ones she dislikes are still collecting dust in the corner.

  【Occupy space! ] Lu Chaochao curled his lips.

Ms. Xu was taking a shower and changing clothes. She could only be seen sticking her **** out and looking for something.

The two twitches on the head were shaking.

 Lu Chaochao is only eleven months old and his hands are extremely small.

 Took out a handful of chestnuts from the box.

There were only two in a handful, and the little fat hand couldn’t hold them, so he grabbed several handfuls of chestnuts and stuffed them into his arms.

 He grabbed two more handfuls of peanuts and stuffed them into his small purse.

 I grabbed another sweet potato as big as my thumb.

After busying for a while, my pockets were bulging, and then I locked the box again and pushed it in.

Sacrificing sacrifices to heaven is extremely cumbersome and boring, and you are not allowed to leave.

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to drink water because she was afraid of having to go to the toilet in the meantime.

 Just took two shallow sips of thick rice porridge to pad my stomach.

“Why do we ask our legitimate son and daughter to participate in the ceremony this year? Chao Chao is only eleven months old and we can’t even walk steadily.” Dengzhi sighed and hurriedly put a scarf on Chao Chao.

Xu Xu glanced at Lu Chaochao, who was squatting on the ground and poking at ants.

 She always felt that maybe...

 The emperor wanted to see Chao Chao.

but…

Your Majesty is not so free, is he?

Ms. Xu put everything aside and just went out with Chaochao in her arms when she saw Su Zhiqing's face filled with joy.

"Madam..." Su Zhiqing's face was rosy. In the past half month, she had tried her best to please Lu Yuanze.

Lu Yuanze never even stepped through the door of Xu's room.

   actually seems to be indulging in a gentle country.

"Madam, I wish you a happy new year." Su Zhiqing hesitated, but the joy in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say, delaying the sacrifice to heaven is a serious crime." The Xu family has a third-grade imperial edict and is required to enter the palace to worship.

【hey-hey. She turned into Miss Lu Jinghuai... and wanted to **** Pei Jiaojiao to death. 】The sharp weapon he cultivated was pointed at himself.

Lu Jinghuai doesn’t know yet.

Su Zhiqing saluted Mrs. Xu.

"The Marquis feels sorry for Qingqing. Last night...the Marquis said that he wanted to make Qingqing his equal wife."

“My wife is old and has several children, so I am afraid she will be too distracted. I specifically asked Qingqing to take care of my wife’s worries..."

 It’s not in vain, her calves were shaking when she walked this morning.

Pei Jiaojiao is beautiful, but she is no longer young.

As for herself, she is young and beautiful, has a slim figure, and is well-read in poetry and books. She almost combines the advantages of both Xu and Pei Jiaojiao.

Pei Jiaojiao gave her the Marquis's preferences.

 She deliberately created the same preferences as the Marquis, making him feel that the two were quite destined.

Last night, the Marquis got carried away and agreed to marry her on the spot.

 Xu's eyes could not hide the loneliness. "In that case, let's record Miss Su in the family tree tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year. But this marriage..." Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment.

Fortunately, Su Zhiqing said: "Sister, I am busy in the New Year, so there is no rush for marriage." As long as she records her family tree, she will be a serious wife.

She spoke smoothly and called her sister.

“Bah, cats and dogs are trying to get close to relatives!” Dengzhi couldn’t help but take a bite.

“Madam comes from a famous family, and the Xu family’s most pampered legitimate daughter has never had any sisters.” Dengzhi said angrily.

An equal wife, just one head taller than my concubine and my aunt.

 Also worthy of being called sisters to the main wife.

Su Zhiqing blushed with embarrassment and suppressed the resentment in her eyes.

Hum, what about the legal wife?

What's the use of being a man if you can't be loved by men?

She doesn’t know yet that the Marquis has been raising his wife outside for almost twenty years, right?

Her eyes were filled with pity and schadenfreude.

The Marquis said: Mrs. Xu loved him to the core, and it was indeed true.

“What Miss Dengzhi taught me is that Qingqing didn’t see her identity clearly.” She lowered her head with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, just serve the Marquis well."

Mrs. Xu took her people out of the house without even looking at her.

Today, the emperor and his courtiers worshiped heaven.

The female family members took their children to the other side of the altar, which was just right to block the sight of the courtiers and avoid the cold wind.

 Xu stood up according to her position.

 I thought to myself, this location is really good.

How did she know that this was specially left by the emperor and the prince for Lu Chaochao.

 The courtiers were all kneeling in the cold wind.

Although Lu Yuanze has a high title, his official position is low. He is kneeling slightly behind and cannot see clearly in front of him.

“Master Lu, after the palace banquet, how many drinks can we have together?”

“Tasting and tasting wine together will bring you wine! Every sentence is an eternal quatrain!”

"Lu Jinghuai is really talented and learned. It must be an accident that he couldn't gather his righteousness during the Ghost Festival last year. After all, it was his first time to see the parade."

Lu Yuanze and Yourongyan were filled with passion.

 This is his son!

 Lu Jinghuai is his son.

"I heard that your Majesty is very fond of drinking wine. Lu Jinghuai has been valued by your Majesty even before he took the provincial examination. If he really gets the third grade..." A minister secretly glanced at the prince.

"I'm afraid that smoke will rise from the ancestral graves."

"The glory of the Xu family back then was about to fall on Lu Jinghuai. I don't know whose child Lu Jinghuai is, but such an outstanding son was raised outside." Since the last time the Minister of Rites was caught in public, everyone has Everyone knows Lu Jinghuai's identity as a concubine.

 I just don’t know whose family he is the heir to.

Lu Yuanze pinched his palms, his face darkened, and he said nothing.

The Xu family's natal family is because the old master assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne, became the emperor's master, and became one of the three princes. Bring the Xu family to the top.

Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, glanced at Marquis Zhongyong.

 Idiot.

He helped Lu Yuanze raise his wife, which offended Lu Chaochao, which made him even more stupid.

He touched his ears, but his ears were pinched and swollen by his wife, but when he thought of his wife's pregnancy, he grinned like a fool again.

This pregnancy has been seen by the imperial doctor and it is a son.

 He had a son in his old age! In this life, death is worth it.

He didn’t want to remind Lu Yuanze that his daughter was so awesome! And, there are a lot of people backstage!

  I was so angry that I pulled him down.

On the altar, Qin Tianjian read the sacrificial inscriptions and prayed for good weather in the coming year.

 The emperor and the prince looked solemn on their faces. The emperor already knew that Lu Chaochao had saved the prince, and he was grateful to God for sending Lu Chaochao.

 The emperor just bowed his head.

Then he saw a baby girl emerging from behind the huge bronze cauldron.

 The baby was still grinning, showing three small teeth, and was very happy.
