“Xiao Lu’er still remembers me?”
An Jiuyue smiled and picked him up. She was about to say something when Qian Jiyun took him into his arms.
An Jiuyue was still speechless.
She could still carry a child, right? Was there a need to be so nervous?
“Congratulations on your pregnancy, Sister-in-Law.”Eldest Brother Yan smiled at the two of them.
“Second Brother, you’re finally here. We’ve suffered a lot these days,” Xia Junfeng said to Qian Jiyun with a smile.
They actually did not suffer much. They had always enjoyed good food and drinks. However, the search today and the secret visit tomorrow gave them a headache. They wished they could let their Eldest Brother Yan sit in that position to save them the trouble.
“Have you suffered? You look like you’ve gained weight,” Eldest Brother Yan could not help but tease him.
There was nothing much to do these days. Xia Junfeng was by his side and only focused on eating. Dean Ding’s subordinates also took good care of them. They ate three exquisite meals each day.
He even suspected that Fifth Brother would eat so much he would become a pig in two months!
“Wait, Eldest Brother Yan, you can’t be so sarcastic, right?” Xia Junfeng was unhappy.
He had not gained any weight. No, definitely not. He had merely been eating more. It was because the food delivered here tasted really good!
Naturally, he had to finish them all.
“Stop acting like a child. Jiyun, Sister-in-Law, sit down first.” Eldest Brother Yan bent down and wanted to pick Qian Yizheng up.
However, Qian Yizheng refused and insisted on continuing to play with his younger brother. He also took An Yilu away. He knew his mother and Uncle Jiyun must be here for something. He did not want to trouble them.
After the four of them sat down, Xia Junfeng asked Qian Jiyun, “Second Brother, what do you mean by Prince Luoyang?”
Although Prince Luoyang was also from the royal family, he was not the old Emperor’s biological son. Why was Prince Luoyang involved in the royal family’s struggle for the throne?
He was the son of the old Emperor’s younger brother, whom the old Emperor had been very wary of. After all, the throne almost fell into his younger brother’s hands back then.
It was only because the Empress Dowager’s faction supported the old Emperor that he could sit firmly on the throne.
“Do you know which family Prince Luoyang’s mother belongs to?” Eldest Brother Yan asked him.
“The Luoyang-Shao family! They’re a secretive but incredibly powerful clan. I’m aware of that,” Xia Junfeng replied.
It was precisely because of the Luoyang-Shao family that the old Emperor refrained from taking action against his younger brother. He feared it might trigger a backlash and sow discord within the royal family, potentially destabilizing his throne.
Moreover, after the old prince, who was also the old Emperor’s younger brother, pa.s.sed away, the old Emperor conferred the t.i.tle of Prince Luoyang on his legitimate son.
This was also because of the support of the Luoyang-Shao family.
However, this had nothing to do with them. Would Prince Luoyang still support the old Emperor and use the Luoyang-Shao family’s power to destroy them?
“Wait, Eldest Brother, what do you mean? Prince Luoyang is just an ordinary prince. Is the old Emperor going to hand over his throne to Prince Luoyang?”
He did not understand. The old Emperor was not stupid enough to hand over his throne to his younger brother’s son.
It was the throne! The throne! He could not hand it over to someone that easily.
