Chapter 1455

~8 min read 1,593 words

The four treasures of the study were brought into the reception hall.

Chen Guanlou picked up the brush and wrote the statement in one go!

The Prince of Luyang picked up the statement, looked at the content carefully, and finally treasured it away, ordering the steward to stamp it with the Prince's Mansion seal to show that both sides had reached a peaceful agreement. Afterward, he arranged for it to be sent to the Imperial Clan Court for safekeeping!

The reason he didn't keep the statement in the Prince's Mansion was to prevent someone from playing tricks!

In the eyes of the Prince of Luyang, the people in the Prince's Mansion were not to be trusted! They were not even as trustworthy as those nephews!

Princess Luyang watched coldly, looking indifferent, "In two years, we will submit a petition to request a title for Dabao; you will cooperate, right?" She asked the Prince of Luyang.

The Prince of Luyang snorted, "We'll see!"

"Dabao is your biological grandson. He is much better than those nephews and grand-nephews of yours!" Princess Luyang reminded him.

The Prince of Luyang didn't express his stance, and said with a cold face, "It's too early to talk about this now!"

Princess Luyang wanted to say more, but was stopped by Song Anxu, "Mother, I'm starving to death. I've been working hard all day and haven't eaten yet!"

Princess Luyang rolled her eyes at her and ordered the banquet to begin!

Little fatty Song Dabao was also brought over; he had his own exclusive meal: egg custard, chicken soup with the oil skimmed off, white rice, soft noodles, and steamed buns.

The little fatty of course couldn't finish all this; he just ate a few bites of each.

He liked egg custard mixed with rice the most; he was indifferent to chicken soup, and would rather drink sugar water. He would also take a few bites of noodles and buns. He ate happily, and just looking at him made one's appetite open up.

Only, the area around the little fatty was a mess; eating a meal was like fighting a war.

No one present minded; they were all very happy and satisfied, with a sense of pride that "he is indeed my son (grandson)"!

Even the Prince of Luyang was happy, personally feeding Dabao a bite of rice. Song Dabao gave him face, opened his big mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, eating happily and contentedly!

A child who can eat is better than anything.

No wonder he was a little fatty.

"Dabao can eat and has good health; this is all my credit!" Song Anxu boasted, "If I hadn't found Brother Lou to have a child, how could Dabao be so robust!"

"Dabao is indeed a rare healthy child. If he gets sick, he eats some medicine, sleeps, and he's better." Princess Luyang echoed. At this moment, she didn't have the dignity and pressure of a Princess, and her eyes were full of love.

The Prince of Luyang wasn't being sarcastic either, "Dabao is of the Song family's seed; it's only right that he has good health."

Princess Luyang sneered, her expression very disdainful!

The Prince of Luyang was very dissatisfied, "Do you have an objection to what I said?"

"Whether your seed is good or not, I would know. Three disasters and five illnesses, hmph!" Princess Luyang was very disdainful.

"That's because your hearts are black and you didn't raise the child well. Who knows how much stuff you added to the child's diet." The Prince of Luyang was furious, scolding angrily, seemingly about to bring up old scores again.

Chen Guanlou buried his head in eating and drinking; having seen so much drama today, he had completely adapted to the way the couple in the Prince's Mansion interacted. Like Song Anxu, he was accustomed to it.

Let them argue; he only cared about burying his head in eating.

He was starving!

He hadn't eaten his fill at noon, and after a toss in the afternoon, all his energy was consumed.

Song Anxu ate while paying attention to Song Dabao. As for the quarrel between her parents, she seemed not to have heard it, having learned to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye.

What is this?

This is cultivation!

Family cultivation!

It is difficult for an honest official to judge domestic affairs; if you want family harmony, you must learn to be deaf and blind! If necessary, you must also learn to be a dead person!

Song Dabao called out in a milky voice: "Grandpa!" The pronunciation wasn't very standard, sounding a bit like "Ye-ye"...

The Prince of Luyang's anger was cured by Song Dabao as soon as he slept, and his face was almost smiling to pieces!

"My good grandson, are you full? Do you want to eat some meat?"

After saying that, the Prince of Luyang picked up a piece of thinly sliced beef and fed it to Song Dabao.

Song Dabao truly loved food and didn't refuse anyone; he grabbed it directly with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

No one stopped him!

Since Song Anxu could personally take the child to play in the mud, one knew that they were relatively tolerant and indulgent toward the child. There was no so-called mysophobia, and even less of the rule that the child wasn't allowed to touch mud or use his hands to eat because of his status.

When it comes to children, there are no rules!

As for the future, when the child is three years old and starts his education, there will naturally be someone to teach the child royal etiquette and clan rules!

Children of official families are rigid, but children of imperial clans are absolutely not rigid. Good or bad, children of imperial clans learn from a young age.

Especially the heir, who must learn from a young age how to control people's hearts and how to indulge himself within limits! It is absolutely impossible to be a "good baby."

Good babies die early!

The banquet was very sumptuous, and Chen Guanlou didn't stand on ceremony for his first visit; he ate more than half of the food and wine on the table.

He was truly hungry!

Princess Luyang smiled, "It seems Dabao is like you, both very able to eat! To be able to eat is a blessing!"

Song Anxu immediately became smug.

Chen Guanlou took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of his mouth, took a sip of mouthwash, and spat it into the teacup.

He said softly, "Martial artists have high consumption, so they eat a bit more. Please forgive me for any discourtesy, Prince and Princess!"

"It's fine! Even though you and Anxu are not married, the Prince's Mansion is also your home; just treat it as your own home." Princess Luyang said with a smile.

The Prince of Luyang snorted and wanted to be sarcastic, but Song Dabao grabbed his beard. He looked down and felt a warmth in his heart, immediately abandoning the thought.

For Song Dabao's sake, he would temporarily spare the child's father!

At least he gave the Prince's Mansion a healthy and smart good grandson!

He would reluctantly not hold it against him.

However...

He still had something to say.

"You come from the Chen family and have the backing of the Marquis's Mansion; why do you have to live in the Imperial Prison all year round? As a small Prison Warden, how does this status match up to the Prince's daughter!" The Prince of Luyang was full of dissatisfaction and pickiness!

Princess Luyang didn't say anything, seemingly having similar thoughts.

Chen Guanlou looked at Song Anxu, and seeing that she didn't express her stance, he improvised.

"I must let the Prince and Princess know that I stay in the Imperial Prison, firstly, for the sake of freedom, with no one to manage me. Secondly, for money! Thirdly, and most importantly, martial arts cultivation focuses most on the cultivation of the state of mind. If there are too many desires, it will inevitably breed inner demons, with a very high probability of going into qi deviation. Everyone knows the consequences of qi deviation: light, serious injury and a drop in cultivation; heavy, death on the spot! In the Imperial Prison, what I seek is to be without desire! This is also an important reason why I have never had inner demons!"

The Prince of Luyang was not a martial artist and didn't quite understand!

He looked at the Chief Eunuch serving on the side, and the eunuch nodded slightly.

Chen Guanlou had long seen that the eunuch serving the Prince of Luyang was a martial artist, and a Ninth-Rank one at that. However, he shouldn't have been a Ninth-Rank for long, and his cultivation was limited; he could destroy the other party with one finger.

The Prince of Luyang suddenly realized, "So there is such a saying! This is the first time I've heard of it. In that case, will you stay in the Imperial Prison forever?"

"If there are no accidents, I will be working in the Imperial Prison for the next ten or twenty years." Chen Guanlou said.

"Have you considered coming to the Prince's Mansion? You can concentrate on cultivating martial arts."

"I still prefer the capital!" Chen Guanlou refused with a smile!

Are you kidding!

Giving up a whole forest for one tree is absolutely impossible!

He is the wind that is free and unrestrained!

Song Anxu is just a passerby!
