    When Lin Xiao entered the waterside pavilion, his father was holding his stepbrother, Toshiro, who was less than one year old, and feeding him shortcakes. Little Toshiro was very happy, drooling all over his face, and would jump excitedly on his father's lap from time to time.  Next, babbling and saying something.

    Mrs. Cui was whispering and teasing on the side, coaxing Toshiro to call him father.

    Lin Xiao looked at the happy scene in front of him, and somehow he remembered the scene of playing with his parents when he was a child. In his memory, his father was heroic and kind, his mother was young and bright, and the family of three was peaceful and content.

    ¡°Now my mother has long been turned into a handful of loess, and my father will soon have a new wife. In a few years, except for him, who is the son, who else can remember Princess Lan, the most talented Princess of Chang'an?

    King Lan turned his head and saw Lin Xiao looking gloomy. He thought he was tired after rushing back to Chang'an for several days, so he said, "My son is back. Sit down quickly and drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."

    Mrs. Cui also looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.

    An azure crepe robe with auspicious cloud patterns and a white marble belt, the outfit is exquisite and luxurious, and the calm face is as flawless as a white jade.

    This is a young man whose youthfulness has gradually faded away. Like a polished jade, he is faintly showing a scorching brilliance that cannot be ignored.

    Cui suddenly felt a little dazzled, shook her son Toshiro's hand, and smiled at Lin Xiao: "Da Lang is back. Your father has been thinking about you a lot these days. No, I heard that you came back today and pushed all the governments.  Thank you very much for your greetings. I want to help you with your wishes."

    Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, father and princess, for your concern." He bowed, went to sit down, and said no more.

    Prince Lan felt his son's politeness and alienation, and his face darkened, but Cui didn't care. He waved to a girl sitting below and said with a smile: "Linglong, come here quickly to pay tribute to the prince."

    When Lin Xiao came in, he saw an unfamiliar woman in the house. He thought it was Cui's niece. He felt disgusted and didn't take a closer look.

    ¡°At this moment, he saw a young girl coming forward to salute him. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, slender, with a melon-shaped face, a pair of watery eyes, and a face that was more charming than ordinary women.

    Lin Xiao sneered, it was hard for Cui to find such a stunning "niece".

    The woman was also looking at Lin Xiao quietly, and saw that although his face was as handsome as carved by heaven, he did not smile at all. She pursed her lips and smiled coldly and said: "Linglong, please give my regards to the Crown Prince. First of all, I heard from my aunt that the Crown Prince is with me.  The prince was born in the same mold, and when I saw him today, he looked very similar, but the prince always had a smile on his face, and he was much kinder than the prince."

    Are you making fun of him?  Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly and re-examined the woman in front of him. Her beautiful appearance and intelligent and innocent expression somehow reminded him of the girl he met in the mountains.

    Seeing Lin Xiao¡¯s cold expression, King Lan came to Linglong¡¯s rescue and said, ¡°Well, Linglong! I thought you would be restrained when you saw the Crown Prince, but I didn¡¯t expect you to even dare to tease him.¡±

    Then he looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Da Lang, Linglong loves to talk and laugh. She has always been casual. Don't mind. Ordinarily, you should call Linglong your cousin. She is your mother's niece. She originally lived in  Youzhou, her parents were gone the year before last, and her brother and sister-in-law were neglectful of her, so she came to join your mother and concubine. You two will get along well in the future."

    Mother and concubine?  Lin Xiao felt a pang in his heart at these two words. He only had one mother and concubine, and now she was buried in a solitary grave outside Chang'an City. His father had a new wife. Should he even erase the traces of his mother's existence?

    The most ridiculous thing is that his father didn't even ask him how his errand was going, or whether he had encountered any setbacks. As soon as he came back, he made a big deal of asking him to recognize his relatives. His enthusiasm and eagerness almost made him suspicious, as if this was coming.  The unknown woman is her father's close relative, and he is just an insignificant person.

    The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became. He was so disappointed that a faint smile appeared on his face.

    At this time, Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Since the prince has said so, Linglong, why don't you call me the prince? You should call me cousin. It's not that important."

    "That's exactly the reason." Prince Lan said with great interest, "Dalang, Linglong will be your cousin in the future. This child is smart and well-behaved, but her life experience is so pitiful. You must treat her well."

    Hearing this, Linglong hurriedly greeted Lin Xiao generously and said with a smile, "Linglong has met my cousin."

    Lin Xiao looked at the exquisite woman in front of him calmly. How many days had he been in the house?  Not only is her wet nurse quite positive about her, but even her father, who has always been indifferent to others, treats her as close as his own daughter

    "How can he continue to enjoy such a well-prepared recognition banquet if he says "no" in a boring way?

    He suddenly smiled, looked at Linglong and said: "Linglong - cousinQu Qinyao's father was just a Taishi Ling, a seventh-rank official who was neither salty nor salty. The people he usually interacted with were all civil servants of the same rank. He had almost never come into contact with noble noble families. It was so interesting to hear what the master said,  Unwilling to give up, he quickly asked: "What other interesting things are there? Master, just tell me more."

    The master and apprentice chatted about the gossip of wealthy families all the way back to Chang'an. Qing Xuzi stopped the carriage at the gate of Qu's Mansion and said to Qinyao: "Go in, it's your first time traveling alone. Your parents may be so worried that they can't even sleep.  You can't sleep well, especially your fierce mother, who may be scolding me as a teacher, hurry up and don't let them worry anymore."

    Seeing Qu Qinyao getting out of the car wearing a curtain hat, he said with a straight face: "Now you know how to wear a curtain hat. Why didn't you wear it when you entered the mountain? You were seen by those young men in vain. Are you ashamed?  "

    Qu Qinyao pouted and defended: "I thought I wouldn't bump into anyone when I entered Fierce Mountain. Who knows where those people from Prince Lan's Mansion came from?"

    While talking, he was afraid that the master would continue to talk about it, so he quickly entered the house.
