Chapter 271 I’m happy
Just as the words fell, a voice came from the side: "If someone really likes you, he won't care whether you are boring or interesting."

Lu Jilian was drunk and stagnant: "Prince...are you here to laugh at me?"

"Who wants to see you make a fool of yourself?" Chu Anlan held Xiao Fengnian in his arms and asked, "Hey, do you want to hug him?"

"What?" Lu Jilian was stunned.

"Hold my godson!" Chu Anlan asked bluntly, "Will you hold him? If not, I will return him to you!"

Lu Jilian's voice was dry and a little cold: "Why do you let me hug him?"

"Don't you want to hug him?" Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "Haven't you been staring at him for a long time?"

Lu Jilian pursed his lips: "I..."

"Why are you so fussy?" Chu Anlan said impatiently, "This prince is here to fulfill your wish with good intentions, and you don't even appreciate it?
I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to hug me, so forget it!"

As he said that, he was about to leave.

Lu Jilian didn't know that his mouth was faster than his brain: "Wait a minute, my lord."

Chu Anlan stopped, turned around and raised his eyebrows at him: "What are you doing?"

Lu Jilian's eyes fell on Chu Anlan's arms: "Let me... take a look at him."

Chu Anlan snorted and carefully handed Xiao Fengnian to Lu Jilian: "Be careful, he is very soft."

Lu Jilian took it with both hands.

When the soft and warm baby nestled tightly in his arms, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have done that.

At this time, Chu Anlan sneered: "Master Lu's posture of holding the child is quite skilled."

Lu Jilian closed his eyelids, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He also held the child.

In the previous life... maybe it was the previous life, when his children were just born, he often hugged them.

With what mood did he hug them?

He hoped that his son would be as outstanding as he was, be successful, bring honor to the family, and bring blessings to the family.

I hope my daughter can be as graceful, gentle, well-educated and well-mannered as my wife, and bring a good in-law...

Only his adopted son Lu Fengnian failed to meet his expectations.

Fengnian did not take the imperial examination, did not enter the court, did not seek marriage, and even did not get married at a very old age...

The lady likes this child very much.

Lu Jilian suddenly felt that the baby in his arms was like a ball of fire, burning his body and mind.

He couldn't help but tighten his fingers.

Suddenly, he heard Xiao Fengnian in his arms crying.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hearing the crying, Chu Anlan hurried over.

The officials at the table also raised their heads and looked over here.

In the bright candlelight, Lu Jilian's face was slightly pale, and his glassy eyes were filled with a layer of hazy mist.

Xiao Fengnian's pink little face was wrinkled with tears, and she looked around waving her little fists.

"Oh, why are you crying like this?" Chu Anlan quickly stretched out his hand: "Come, godfather, hug me."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiao Fengnian twisted towards him with all her strength, her face red from crying.

Chu Anlan hugged the person and said, "Alright, alright, stop crying, godfather will hug you..."

As he spoke, he imitated the movements Ye Wanqing had taught him before, and patted Xiao Fengnian quickly with both palms.

Sure enough, the crying became quieter.

Ying Xiang hurried towards him and said, "My Lord, the princess asked me to take the little boy to Madam Ling to comfort him."

"Okay." Chu Anlan stretched out his hand.

Just as Yingxiang was about to take the child away, Xiao Fengnian started crying loudly again, and his little face kept burrowing into Chu Anlan's arms.

"Hey?" Chu Anlan was in a panic: "What happened again?"

Lu Jilian's lips are slightly pale.

Ye Chenting glanced at him before standing up: "An Lan, give him to me to try."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

Xiao Fengnian cried even more sadly.

Ye Chenting paused and smiled helplessly: "It seems that he doesn't like me either."

Chu Anlan patted him hard and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. Godfather will hold you, okay?"

Xiao Fengnian pursed his lips in grievance. His crying became quieter.

The official at the next table smiled and said, "It seems that the Crown Prince's adopted son likes the Crown Prince very much."

Chu Anlan kept his hands busy, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course."

As he said that, he lowered his head and snapped his tongue at Xiao Fengnian: "Stop crying. If you keep crying, Godfather will give you to someone else."

Xiao Fengnian was sobbing and moving his little mouth.

Chu Anlan turned to Ying Xiang and said, "Let me hold him for a spin first. Tell Qing'er and Xin Rou that I can coax him well, so don't worry."

Sakura knelt down, "Yes."

Chu Anlan smiled and lowered his head: "Don't cry anymore, it's impolite to cry again."

Xiao Fengnian looked at him with tearful eyes, like a black grape soaked in water, feeling aggrieved and pitiful.

Fortunately, the crying really stopped.

The officials who were nearby were amazed.

Some people, probably drunk, couldn't help but joked, "Lord Lu is just too majestic, not only adults are in awe of you, even children are a little afraid of you.

You, you are just too pretentious all the time!"

Hold it?

Lu Jilian pursed his pale lips: "Maybe."

After saying this, he raised his glass and drank up the wine.

Ye Chenting glanced at him and turned his head: "An Lan, the wine smell is too strong at the banquet. I'm afraid the child will feel uncomfortable if he stays here for too long. You should take Feng Nian back to the women."

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Okay."

He returned to the inner courtyard while teasing Xiao Fengnian.

After the people left, Ye Chenting looked at Lu Jilian and said, "You drank a lot today. Should I have someone take you back to the inn?"

Lu Jilian held his forehead with one hand and waved with the other.

Ye Chenting had no choice but to give up.

During the banquet, there was a constant sound of clinking glasses, and the candlelight seemed to be stained by the color of wine, becoming soft and hazy.

After drinking another glass of wine, Lu Jilian murmured, "Have you set a date for your wedding?"

Ye Chenting asked: "Me?"

"Yeah." Lu Ji Lian lowered his eyelids to hide the drunkenness in his eyes.

Ye Chenting said gently: "It will probably be next spring. Next spring, the governor of Caozhou will bring his family back to Beijing to report on his work."

"Are you happy?" Lu Jilian asked.

joy?

Ye Chenting smiled lightly: "Shu Wan is a very nice person, my mother, the Queen Mother, and my younger brother and sister-in-law all like her.

My heart... is filled with joy, but also with nervousness."

Lu Jilian held the wine glass and murmured, "So this is how it feels to marry the person you love..."

Ye Chenting knew that he had not let it go yet, so he sighed: “Ji Lian, there is nothing perfect in this world.

You are smarter than anyone else, and you know better than anyone else what you should do and what you want in the future.

If you choose the path of becoming a marquis or a prime minister, you are destined that love affairs will only be a tiny part of your life.

Whether it is Qing'er or me, your good friend who grew up with you, we all hope that you can be a person who can take on and let go, look forward and move forward.

After Qing'er married Anlan, she lived a happy and free life.

If she marries you, she will be trapped in the Lu family's mansion for the rest of her life, being bound and constrained by red tape day after day...

She will change from being bright and cheerful now to being as silent and gloomy as your grandmother or your mother...

Do you really want to see her become like that because of you?"

Lu Jilian was silent.

He remained silent until the end of the banquet.

Ye Chenting hesitated for a moment and finally did not continue.

Late at night, Ye Chenting greeted and saw off the last guest.

Just as I was about to enter the door, I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

There were two people on the horse's back.
