Lu Li couldn't figure out why the news of his request for war would reach Fengyi Zhu, and when he was about to leave the palace but was blocked on the road by the arrogant princess, his expression was a little complicated: "What's the matter with the thirteenth princess?" ”

At this time, Lu Li's side was standing next to King Li, seeing this, he smiled and patted Lu Li's shoulder, turned around and chose to walk away.

"If you have something, just say it." Lu Li, who was left alone to face Fengyi Zhu, could only choose to be strong.

"I heard you're going to war, is it true?" Feng Yi Zhu's eyes widened and said, "Why do you want to go to the battlefield, the country is so big, there are so many promising people, why do you take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the battlefield?" Aren't you afraid of death at all? ”

Lu Li lightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled indifferently: "People are inherently dead." ”

What he didn't expect was that in broad daylight, next to the palace gate, Fengyi Zhu dared to pull his hand, because he was defenseless, he was pulled upright.

"Please also raise your noble hand, princess." He said with a frown.

Feng Yi Zhu refused to let go, and even said with more force: "I won't let go, unless you promise me not to go to the border pass." ”

I heard my father say that eight out of ten people who went to the border pass to fight would not be able to come back, and if Lu Li really went to the border pass to fight, what should he do if he couldn't come back?

Feng Yi Zhu didn't want such a thing to happen in front of him, and he didn't want his affection to go down the drain!

"I'll go to my father later, and ask him to promise whether you want to fight in the future, and you won't be allowed to go to the border!" Never! ”

The innocent and immature words came out of Fengyi Zhu's mouth, Lu Li only felt funny, although she knew martial arts, but she was not Lu Li's opponent, with the absolute advantage of strength between men and women, Lu Li could easily break her hand, and then took three steps back, and after confirming that the distance was an absolutely safe distance, he spoke: "War or peace, the matter has not yet been decided, whether to go to the border or not, you have to think about it before you can reply." ”

Fengyi Zhu's face was happy, and before he had time to be happy, he heard Lu Li say indifferently: "As for whether the ministers will go after the war starts, I hope that the thirteenth princess will not worry too much, the prosperity of the country is the responsibility of the husband, let alone me?"

Lu Li put away his voice when he said this, he felt that there was no need for him to continue.

Under the pretext that there was something at home, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

Fengyi Zhu stayed in place for a long time, until the Praetorian Guards guarding the city gate came over to inquire about the situation with full doubts, and then she stomped her foot fiercely: "If you want to go, I won't let you go!" ”

At the same time, Zhou Guifei had just made the soup and sent it to the imperial study in person.

The Emperor sat upright, frowning and carefully flipping through the file on the table, sighing or revealing other emotions from time to time.

Zhou Guifei saw him with a similar expression for the first time, and it could be seen that he was hesitating about the matter of war and peace at the border pass, so she said softly: "Your Majesty, you have been studying all day, why don't you rest for a while and think about it?" It just so happened that the concubine ordered the imperial dining room to make a calming soup today, do you want to taste it? ”

When the emperor heard the voice, he raised his face from the file: "It turns out that Concubine Ai is here, what time is it now?" ”

Zhou Guifei reported the hour with a smile, deliberately softened her body and approached the emperor's side, and said in a soft tone: "Your Majesty, you have been watching all day, it's time to rest." ”

In normal times, the emperor would be obedient to her, and would agree to whatever she said, but now the situation is different.

"Concubine Ai is worried about me, I know in my heart, it's just that the border war is urgent, and I really don't have the heart to drink." The emperor sighed and waved his hand at the dazed Zhou Guifei.

Meaning to let her out.

Zhou Guifei has favored the Sixth Palace for many years, and it is the first time that she personally sent soup soup, and she was driven out by the emperor, she stood in place and was stunned for a while, before she restrained her emotions, and the corners of her lips outlined a shallow smile: "The concubine will retire first." ”

The soup she made by herself was taken back to her palace by her, and then it was shattered.

Feng Yi Zhu, who was sitting in the hall, heard the movement and hurriedly ran out to inquire about the situation: "How did I hear the sound of something breaking." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a slippery hand." Zhou Guifei said indifferently, "Let people come and clean up here, and the broken porcelain pieces on the ground must be operated on so as not to hurt people." ”

After the order, Zhou Guifei slowly walked towards the door.

Knowing her mother Mo Ruonu, Feng Yi Zhu could see at a glance that her face was wrong: "Mother, did you quarrel with your father?" ”

She remembered that when she came just now, the female official in charge of the affairs of the palace said that Concubine Zhou Guifei went to the imperial study to see the Yellow Emperor, and now she came back with a cold face, she must have been wronged by the emperor.

Relying on her own favor, Feng Yi Zhu wanted to get justice for her: "I'll go to my father and tell me!" ”

Zhou Guifei hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled the person back to herself: "What are you messing about, your father and emperor have been upset about the border war recently, don't bother." ”

"But you, Princess—" She was still upset.

"I'm fine, I just have something to say to you, you come with me." Zhou Guifei took Feng Yi Zhu's hand and walked all the way to her room.

She dismissed all the servants and then spoke to her daughter: "You used to change your temper, you were so arrogant at a young age, and when you marry and go to your mother-in-law's house in the future, people will only think that you are pampered and domineering, and they will not treat you well at all, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Fengyi Zhu pursed his lips: "My father favors me!" ”

"He can't spoil you for the rest of your life." Zhou Guifei said indifferently.

This was said strangely, Fengyi Zhu Yuan wanted to ask the reason for the words, but when he saw Zhou Guifei's expression change slightly, he suddenly held her hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, your birthday should be coming, in previous years, your birthday was all extravagance, and you can't do it again this year." She knew that Feng Yi Zhu must have a plan for the birthday banquet in a few days, so she said directly: "The ones you originally planned have been scrapped, and this year's birthday banquet is mainly low-key and simple." ”

Feng Yi Zhu thought that his opportunity to be in the limelight once a year would be denied, and immediately objected: "It's better not to be low-key and simple!" ”

What she didn't expect was that when the concubine answered, she said: "It's best not to do it." ”

"Mother? What do you mean? Feng Yi Zhu said with a dissatisfied face, "Whose young lady's birthday is not pompous, but I can't do it?" ”

"It's not that I'm targeting you, it's that the timing is bad this year." Zhou Guifei wanted to open her mouth to explain to her, but when she saw her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened, she didn't look like she could listen to people's words, so she had no choice but to give up, "There are crises at the border gates. It is a national crisis, if the emperor knows that you are no longer extravagant and wasteful, he will definitely appreciate you. ”

Fengyi Zhu was angry twice a day, and now she refuses to be obedient at all, Zhou Guifei persuaded her, and she waved her hand to smash the tea cup on the table.

"I have to hold this year's birthday banquet, some time ago Lu Li embarrassed me in front of so many people, and An Xiabai, she dared to laugh at me! If this year's birthday banquet is held in a low-key manner, how can I gain a foothold in the capital in the future! Mother, no matter how much you persuade me today, I won't listen, the birthday banquet must be held in a big way! ”

Looking at the thirteenth princess who was spoiled, Zhou Guifei felt powerless: "Alas, forget it, let it be." ”

After Lu Li left the palace, he went straight to the palace of King Li, and discussed with him about the border affairs, and when they finished discussing things, it was already dark.

King Li originally wanted to leave Lu Li to eat in the mansion, but Lu Li refused.

He didn't go home for a day, and he thought about An Xiabai tightly.

When Lu Li hurried back home in three steps and two steps, An Xiabai was preparing dinner, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he could smell the aroma of the food, which was the smell that Lu Li was used to, and he almost forgot when An Xiabai had cooked in person last time: "Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up with the dinner made by Mrs. herself today." ”

An Xiabai brought the last dish and said with a light smile: "Husband will come back later, we can also wait." ”

At this time, the table was full of people, not only their family, but even Zhou's mother and daughter and Tang Zongzong were there, sitting at the table teasing the children.

With such a big pomp, you can tell that something is wrong at a glance.

Lu Li was a little nervous: "How did Madame think of preparing the meal herself today?" ”

"Why do I prepare the meals myself, husband, don't you really understand?" An Xiabai smiled and blinked.

Lu Li's brows frowned slightly, as if she was upset about something, she looked uncomfortable, and after getting closer, she directly reached out to smooth his eyebrows: "Don't frown, husband, if you have something in your heart, just tell us." ”

A whole table of people is not an outsider.

Lu Li raised his head with doubts in his arms, and just happened to crash into her sight.

An Xiabai's eyes are always like a pool of clear water, deep and quiet, giving people a mirror illusion, Lu Li always feels that all her thoughts will be seen through by her.

Including the things you want to hide now.

"You got it?" Lu Li asked worriedly.

An Xiabai didn't speak, but the smile on the corner of her lips already showed her attitude, Lu Li looked at her, and couldn't help but think of the promise he had given, he promised not to bully her for anything.

"I'll be honest," he loosened his tight heartstrings and said to everyone present with a calm face, "There may be a war at the border pass, and this morning, the emperor will focus on this matter." Just when he asked the civil and military officials for their opinions, I offered to suggest that when war was unavoidable, it was better to strike first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent, and the person who was the most surprised was Zhou, who was holding the child and frowning.

Tang Luoying had a calm face, as if she had known that things would develop to such a point.

"Madame, you already knew?" Lu Li asked suspiciously.

An Xiabai didn't want to directly say that when he came back from rebirth, he carried the memories of his previous life, so he said that he guessed it, fortunately Lu Li didn't doubt it, in his heart, his wife was so smart.

An Xiabai held Lu Li's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Husband, whether you are around or not in the future, I will take good care of the children and our common family, you just do what you want to do, what you should do, don't have worries," she paused, and said with a light smile, "Anyway, no matter what you do in the future, we will support you." ”
