Hold His Hand

Xie Chengze knew that Wang Tingyun was going to celebrate his birthday.

If, as outsiders thought, he had no blood relationship with the Wang family, and he had chosen this family to identify himself, he would definitely attend the birthday banquet.

However, he is not.

His biological parents are in the Wang family, but he doesn’t want to see his relatives.

Now that his cousin has returned from other places, let alone that!

Xie Chengze frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou, in a bad mood: “You really want to go to the Wang family?”

Lu Yanzhou said: “No, what’s wrong?” Lu Yanzhou didn’t want to go to the Wang family at all, after all, the original owner had been entangled with young lady Wang before.

Fortunately, young lady Wang is not in the capital, so he shouldn’t be able to meet her.

Xie Chengze observed Lu Yanzhou carefully and found nothing strange, but his heart was still heavy.

He took a deep breath and finally said: “Nothing, I just thought you liked the Wang family very much.”

Lu Yanzhou laughed: “What is there to like about them? I only like you.”

Love words came out of Lu Yanzhou’s mouth, and this really made Xie Chengze feel a lot better.

Stretching out, his head will be chopped, shrinking his head will also be chopped. Then, he will go out to check tonight!

Noticing that Xie Chengze seemed unhappy, Lu Yanzhou asked him: “AZe, did something happen to you? Is someone disrespecting you? You don’t have to worry about me, just deal with it as you see fit.”

Lu Yanzhou also knew that many people were dissatisfied with Xie Chengze’s identity.

He gave Xie Chengze a lot of rights and asked Tian Qi to lead the army to guard the capital…This was all so that others wouldn’t belittle Xie Chengze.

However, after all, he didn’t stay with Xie Chengze all day long. There were always places he couldn’t see…

“No, it’s just that I’ve been too busy recently and didn’t sleep well last night.” Xie Chengze’s eyes moved, he looked at Lu Yanzhou alluringly.

Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly.

If Xie Chengze didn’t sleep well last night…it might be his fault.

Pulling Xie Chengze over for a kiss, Lu Yanzhou said: “AZe, you should go get some sleep.”

Xie Chengze glared at him: “I have to go out at night, how will I have time?”

Lu Yanzhou could only say: “Let me help you.”

The two of them dealt with memorials all afternoon, then seeing that it was almost time, they set off to Wang’s house.

Along the way, Lu Yanzhou kept talking to Xie Chengze, feeling a little excited.

After all, there is another big thing waiting for him to do tonight!

If Xie Chengze went to take a nap in the afternoon, he would have cured Xie Chengze at that time, but Xie Chengze had been looking at the memorials…He did not want to cause trouble to Xie Chengze.

Let’s wait until tonight!

The Wang family’s current residence is not the original Wang’s mansion.

Xie Chengze used that house as his palace. As for the Wang family, he gave them another smaller house to live in.

This is already pretty good. Some influential families now rent houses!

Wang Tingyun is sixty years old this year. This birthday banquet is his sixtieth birthday, which is very important, but it is held in a low-key manner. At this time, if he holds a high-profile birthday banquet, it will definitely arouse jealousy.

However, although he is very low-key, there are still many people in the house, after all, there are many Wang family members.

At this time, Wang Tingyun had just met his daughter.

Back then, the naughty and mischievous girl offended the princess and so she was sent to live in the manor. However, she ended up planning to elope with a scoundrel. Looking at the lawless little girl, she was now mature and stable in her twenties.

Over the years, she has even given birth to two children. At this time, she was holding her daughter, who was only a few months old, with gentleness and maternal brilliance in her eyes.

Since Wang Tingyun learned that Yan Hang was actually Lu Yanzhou, he felt very complicated.

Reason told him that the emperor who was now knowledgeable, courageous and capable could not be the ignorant little scoundrel back then.

Xie Chengze said the same thing.

But if this person is not that Lu Yanzhou, who is he?

Why did he use Lu Yanzhou’s identity?

However, no matter who Lu Yanzhou is, it is best for his daughter to draw a clear line with Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Chengze is not that easy to mess with!

Wang Tingyun called his daughter to the study alone and asked: “Do you remember Lu Yanzhou?”

Young lady Wang looked embarrassed: “Father, why did you mention him?”

When she was young, she didn’t understand anything. At one time, young lady Wang even planned to elope for love.

However, after many years, looking back on the past, she felt that she was really stupid and pitiful back then.

The man she met was just a yamen servant, he didn’t even recognize a character, and he was also talking nonsense…If she were to really leave with him, how could she survive in this troubled world?

She might have starved to death, been sold, or encountered other terrible things.

When Wang Tingyun saw his daughter like this, he knew what his daughter was thinking.

His daughter finally grew up!

Wang Tingyun said: “The current emperor…looks a bit like that person.”

So that is what it is! Young lady Wang said, “Don’t worry, father. I have long let it go. Father, please don’t mention him again.”

“Okay.” Wang Tingyun hesitated to speak.

Young lady Wang became curious: “Father, who is Wang Ze? Is he really that powerful?”

Young lady Wang’s husband was originally a DaYan official. Later, Sun Chongshao attacked them. Young lady Wang’s husband wanted to protect himself and for the sake of the people in the city, he surrendered and began to work for Sun Chongshao.

Later, Sun Chongshao led his troops to invade the capital, but was captured by Yan Hang. Sun Chongshao’s men became scattered and worked on their own.

When Yan Hang sent troops to attack, most of the people surrendered, and her husband surrendered even more simply.

However, after being demoted and losing his official position, her husband took her to the capital to ask for an official position.

Along the way, they heard a lot about Wang Ze and even bought a printed book.

This book is full of praises for Wang Ze from the former court officials. The rhetoric is gorgeous and the writing style is beautiful, making people unable to put it down.

Young lady Wang and her husband read the book several times and yearned to see Wang Ze, but…everyone said that Wang Ze is from the Wang family. Why didn’t she remember that there was such a person in her family?

“What have you heard?” Wang Tingyun asked.

Young lady Wang told him everything she read in the book.

Wang Tingyun: “…” Wang Tingyun knew that Lu Yanzhou asked former officials to write articles praising Xie Chengze. He also knew that Lu Yanzhou used a method called ‘movable type printing’. After those articles were collected in just a few days, it was printed, added with sentences to read, and then sent everywhere.

It turns out that his daughter also read this book.

After a moment of silence, Wang Tingyun said: “Wang Ze is more powerful than you think, don’t offend him!”

His daughter had never seen Xie Chengze before.

His son-in-law was still young when he was in the capital and had never seen the jiu qian sui then.

Wang Tingyun simply didn’t tell them Wang Ze’s true identity.

When young lady Wang heard her father say this, she admired Wang Ze even more.

Then, someone suddenly came from outside to report that the emperor and the regent were here.

Yes, in order to facilitate Xie Chengze’s handling of government affairs, Lu Yanzhou simply made him the regent and granted him various privileges, such as being able to sit on the dragon’s throne.

That chair was supreme in some people’ eyes, but in Lu Yanzhou’s eyes, it was just an ordinary chair.

In fact, he once wanted to replace it with a soft sofa for Xie Chengze.

Wang Tingyun hurriedly went out to greet him, and young lady Wang also followed.

Lu Yanzhou was the emperor now after all. When he came to the Wang family, he was naturally surrounded by many people.

Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were surrounded by Wang’s mansion, then they spotted Wang Tingyun.

Wang Tingyun brought the Wang family up to salute, then invited Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze in.

Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze. He came with Xie Chengze. It would be bad not to come in this situation, but it was okay to leave immediately after coming.

Xie Chengze said: “Then let’s go in.”

Lu Yanzhou was the emperor, and Xie Chengze was extremely powerful. In addition, Wang Tingyun had warned the family in advance, so everyone who came to the birthday banquet was very obedient.

Xie Chengze glanced over and saw his biological father looking at him fawningly.

Seeing his father like this, Xie Chengze knew that Wang Tingyun probably hadn’t told his biological parents about his true identity.

That’s pretty good too.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chengze saw his biological mother and…his cousin.

He paused but continued to move forward again.

Wang Tingyun indeed did not tell the Wang family except his son about Xie Chengze’s true identity.

He didn’t dare to say anything without Xie Chengze’s consent.

Xie Chengze had never met the Wang family before. When he finally met them, Wang Tingyun quickly introduced them one by one.

During this period, Lu Yanzhou had been acting as a foil until Wang Tingyun introduced his youngest daughter and son-in-law to Xie Chengze.

Lu Yanzhou looked up and saw the little girl once abducted by the original owner.

There are some differences between a fourteen-year-old girl and a young woman in her early twenties. Lu Yanzhou didn’t even notice that this girl was among the female relatives before.

But now that the person was in front of him, Lu Yanzhou naturally recognized her and mumbled silently to himself, “I’m going to suffer.”

The original owner and young lady Wang met in secret back then, and only the two of them knew about it. Although Lu Yanzhou felt a little guilty when he faced Wang Tingyun before, he didn’t think Wang Tingyun knew about it.

But young lady Wang is different, young lady Wang knows him!

Lu Yanzhou was quite afraid of young lady Wang calling his name.

Xie Chengze will definitely be angry by then!

Fortunately, what Lu Yanzhou was worried about did not happen.

Young lady Wang glanced at Lu Yanzhou curiously, then stood aside.

She felt that her father was right. The emperor looked a lot like Lu Yanzhou. However, she was sure that these two people were definitely not the same person.

The Lu Yanzhou she knew could not have such power under any circumstances!

Not to mention that the emperor is very knowledgeable and very rich. People in the Wang family who have competed with the emperor before are full of praise for the emperor and have even retained the emperor’s writing.

To write like that, it would take more than ten years of practice.

Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.

Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze stayed at Wang’s mansion for a short time, then Xie Chengze asked to leave.

Lu Yanzhou was eager to leave as soon as possible, so he naturally agreed immediately.

After leaving the Wang family, Lu Yanzhou relaxed a lot. At the same time, he was thinking about arranging an official position in another place for young lady Wang’s husband to keep them far away.

“Your majesty, what are you thinking about?” Xie Chengze suddenly asked.

Lu Yanzhou said: “It’s nothing…AZe, let’s go back quickly. I have something to tell you.” It’s better not to think about young lady Wang, but to think about Xie Chengze!

Xie Chengze is about to be cured!

Xie Chengze will definitely be surprised when the time comes!

Xie Chengze saw that Lu Yanzhou was very happy but he couldn’t smile no matter what.

He had been observing Lu Yanzhou before.

At that time, Lu Yanzhou obviously recognized his cousin. However, from the look of it, it was his cousin who didn’t connect Lu Yanzhou with that yamen servant.

Lu Yanzhou recognized the person, and he had something to tell him later…What was Lu Yanzhou going to say?

Did he want to bring his cousin into the palace?

Lu Yanzhou was forced to be with him but his cousin was different.

Lu Yanzhou was ambitious and had long wanted to rebel. When Lu Yanzhou wanted to take his cousin to Jiangnan, did he want to extract oil and make tofu to accumulate money and then conquer the world?

As a result, Lu Yanzhou’s planned path was ruined by him, so he had to stay with him for two years.

Lu Yanzhou is an emotional person. He later treated Lu Yanzhou well and always supported Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou did not dislike him and even gave him a lot of privileges.

But is he…comparable to the first person Lu Yanzhou fell in love with when he was young?

After returning to the palace, Lu Yanzhou pulled Xie Chengze towards the imperial chamber.

He has completely abandoned young lady Wang. When young lady Wang didn’t come, she broke up with the original owner by default then. Now that young lady Wang is married and has children, she really has nothing to do with him at all.

But Xie Chengze’s body…

After entering the room and asking the palace maids and eunuchs to leave, Lu Yanzhou kissed Xie Chengze and said, “AZe, you have to calm down a little bit next.”

Calm down? Xie Chengze clenched his fists tightly and frowned at Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou was really handsome. He liked him from the bottom of his heart. When he saw this face, he couldn’t help but be moved.

But if Lu Yanzhou wants someone else…

Wait, something is wrong with his body!
