Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22 Father and Daughter (1)]

The man was about thirty-five or six years old, tall, with a beard covering most of his handsome face.

His eyes are deep and sharp, not angry.

It was Lu Lin, the king of Xingyang.

As a military commander, he spends most of his time in the barracks, or leads troops to fight.

I don’t have much time to spend with my daughter.

I haven’t seen each other for a few months, and Lu Lin was thinking about his daughter.

He gently hugged Lu Mingyu’s shoulder and smiled to reassure him: “Xiaoyu, when Dad is back in Beijing this time, he will stay for a while longer to accompany you.”

Lu Mingyu choked and hummed, quickly wiped her tears, and took two steps back.

The father and daughter looked at each other carefully, and blurted out at the same time: “Dad (Xiaoyu), you’ve lost weight!”

After speaking, they laughed together.

Lu Mingyu looked at the boy beside Lu Lin again: “Second brother!”

This young man, tall and long-legged, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, is very heroic.

It was his righteous brother Lu Fei.

In his previous life, Lu Lin died in battle, and Lu Fei was named Marquis of Zhongyong and took over the Xingyang Army.

He is her strongest supporter and her closest brother.

Although they are not related by blood, they have a deep friendship, more than siblings.

Lu Fei has been in the barracks since he was ten years old, and it has been eight years so far.

The eighteen-year-old young man is like a sharp sword unsheathed, his eyes are bright and sharp.

Lu Fei’s complexion was quite dark. When he smiled at Lu Mingyu, he showed two rows of white teeth: “Fourth sister, I haven’t seen you for a few months. You have grown a lot taller, and you look like a big girl.”

While speaking, Lu Minghua’s sister and brother also came one after another.

The family reunited, and there was inexhaustible joy and excitement.

Lu Lin waved his hand arrogantly: “Let’s go, go to the dining room! I’ve been marching to fight for several months, but I haven’t eaten a decent meal. Today’s palace banquet, I couldn’t let go of my appetite. I have to eat a full meal tonight. ”

The sons and daughters responded in unison, like a crowd of stars holding the moon, and they crowded to the dining room.

Lu Lin sat on top, Lu Mingyu sat next to his father, then Lu Mingfang, Lu Minghua, Lu Mingyue, and Lu Xuan.

Lu Feihe sat on the other side solemnly.

Dabao and Xiaobao shouted “grandfather” and squeezed in front of Lu Lin.

Lu Mingfang hurriedly said: “Dabao Xiaobao, don’t make trouble with your grandfather, come to your mother’s place.”

Lu Lin is the most spoiled child, and immediately smiled: “I haven’t seen my grandson for so long, so let’s kiss for a while. Okay, you eat yours, don’t worry about us.”

With a big hand, he put both children on his lap.

Listen patiently to the children.

It didn’t stop him from eating.

At least half of the delicious food on the table, Lu Linyun’s chopsticks flew into his mouth.

Moreover, Lu Lin doesn’t like to eat vegetarian food, and all he eats is fish.

Lu Mingyu looked at the familiar scene, both kind and funny, reminding him from time to time: “Dad, don’t eat it.”

“Let Lu Jia prepare some hawthorn pills for digestion,” Lu Lin continued to eat and drink: “I haven’t eaten meat like this for a few months, let’s talk about it first.”

Lu Mingyu: “…”

All right!

Dad is happy.

…

After dinner, everyone dispersed, and thoughtfully left the reunion time for the father and daughter.

Lu Lin is not that kind of warrior who only knows how to fight. In his spare time, he likes to read military books, as well as miscellaneous books and operas.

In Nuoda’s study, several bookshelves were filled to the brim.

Lu Lin ate meat very well tonight. At this time, he was holding a jar of hawthorn pills, one bite at a time, and he ate numbly and comfortably.

When he looked up, he saw his daughter staring at him intently.

Those eyes, eager and complicated.

As if not seen in years.

Lu Lin laughed dumbly: “Xiaoyu, what are you doing looking at your father like this. I haven’t seen you for a few months, so I can’t remember what my father looked like!”

Saying that, he laughed.

Lu Mingyu’s nose was slightly sour, and she whispered, “Father!”

Lu Lin snorted and picked up another hawthorn pill and stuffed it into the mouth.

Hawthorn balls are sweet and sour, very delicious.

waited a moment,

Without waiting for Lu Mingyu’s next sentence, Lu Lin was a little surprised and stopped his movements: “Xiaoyu, do you have something on your mind?”

Lu Mingyu nodded: “Yes, I have something very important to tell Dad.”

Under the bright candlelight, Lu Mingyu’s expression was solemn and his eyes were deep and solemn.

Somewhat unfamiliar.

Lu Lin’s heart sank inexplicably, put half a jar of hawthorn pills on the table, then got up and walked in front of Lu Mingyu: “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell dad, dad will never forgive him!”

Before Lu Mingyu could speak, a young man flashed in Lu Lin’s mind.

At the palace banquet today, the three princes were present together.

In front of everyone, the third prince took the initiative to raise a toast to him.

Everyone didn’t say it, but there was a clear sense of joking in their eyes.

As a biological father, seeing the bastard who covets his daughter come to show his hospitality, his mood is quite complicated.

Lu Lin drank the wine calmly, greeted the third prince politely, and didn’t say much.

Now Xiaoyu deliberately mentions Li Hao, shouldn’t she be in a hurry to get married now!

Lu Lin felt a little sour in his heart, and asked, “Do you want to talk about Li Hao?”

Lu Mingyu hummed.

Lu Lin’s heart became more and more sour, and he snorted softly: “I know that this stinky boy has bad intentions. Since I saw you two years ago, I have deliberately set up a relationship with your second brother. , come to our Lu family with a cheeky face.”

“If his status is ordinary, that’s fine. But he is a prince, and his biological mother, Su Zhaorong, came from a humble background. From my father’s point of view, he likes you, but if your father is not the king of Xingyang who holds a heavy army, he may not be so diligent… ”

“Father is right.” Lu Mingyu nodded unexpectedly in agreement: “I’ve already figured it out. I won’t be a concubine, and the battle for the throne will not involve our Lu family.”

Lu Lin: “…”

The next words suddenly stuck in his throat.

Lu Mingyu looked at Lu Lin steadily, and said slowly, “When the emperor returns to the palace, the empress will bring up the marriages of several princes. Su Zhaorong’s mother and son will definitely beg the emperor to marry the Lu family.”

“If the emperor wants to confer marriage, he will ask Dad. Dad must show his heart to the emperor. The Lu family has no intention of marrying the Tian family!”

Lu Lin was shocked and blurted out: “Xiaoyu, you are not kidding!”

Lu Mingyu looked calm: “How can you laugh at such an important matter.”

Lu Lin’s mind was a little confused: “Wait, I’m in a mess now, I have to think about it.”

“Xiaoyu, haven’t you always liked that stinky boy Li Hao? Why did you suddenly refuse to marry him?”

“Father is reluctant to let you get married early. However, when the girl’s parents grow up, they must get married. Regardless of Su Zhaorong, Li Hao is barely worthy of you. If you miss this marriage, what will you do if you can’t find a good husband in the future? ”

Lu Linyue said that the more uncomfortable it was, and quickly made up his mind: “You are worried that the Lu family will be involved in the battle for the storage position, so you don’t want to marry Li Hao. Xiaoyu, since you like Li Hao, it’s okay to marry him.”

“With your father here, no one can bully you!”
