Chapter 132: Ambiguity
Lu Li told An Xiabai what he had just said to the emperor one by one, helped her clean up the things in the kitchen, and asked worriedly: "If there is really a war at the border pass, after the emperor sends me to war, will you be reluctant to let me leave, madam?" ”
An Xiabai turned his head and said, "Husband, what kind of question are you asking, if there is a war at the border, I will definitely be reluctant for you to leave." ”
After all, the time she has been in the capital is too short, and there is only one person around her who can rely on her trust, Mo Simin, and the two children are still young, if Lu Li leaves, it is estimated that her life will be very tormented.
"I'm reluctant to let my husband leave me." An Xia Bai said softly.
But there are always unsatisfactory things in the world.
An Xiabai raised his face and just met Lu Li's gaze: "Although I am reluctant to husband, but if my husband wants to go to the border pass, I will definitely not stop it, if the two of them want to be together for a long time, can they not be a stumbling block for each other, husband, you have to go to the border to serve the country, I will never say half a word." ”
As soon as the words fell, staring at the tenderness in Lu Li's eyes, An Xiabai realized that his words were too sensational.
She looked embarrassed and coughed softly twice: "By the way, husband, when you talked to the emperor just now, did you see his attitude towards the thirteenth princess, isn't he sad at all?" ”
Anyway, Fengyi Zhu is his biological daughter, and his life is gone, so everyone will feel sad.
Lu Li didn't expect her to dare to ask this question, she was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head with a complicated expression and said, "The emperor has the world in his heart. ”
The implication is that he has no extra space to put Fengyi Zhu.
An Xiabai felt worthless for no reason: "The most ruthless emperor family, sure enough." ”
Lu Li could see that she wanted to fight for Fengyi Zhu, and her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"By the way, husband," An Xiabai suddenly remembered the memories of his previous life, and was a little more curious about his thoughts, "If it were you, how would you choose?" ”
In the short period of peace and war, which side will Lu Li choose?
In her previous life, An Xiabai didn't live long enough, and her memory was only to the years not long after Lu Li became emperor, and she didn't know much about the next facts, so she had no way of knowing that Lu Li would face the same problem.
That's why she's curious.
Although he didn't understand how An Xiabai could have anything to do with the position on top, Lu Li knew in his heart the choice he would make: "I will choose my family without hesitation." ”
His heart is very big and can pretend to be the world, and he is also very small, so he can only pretend to be a family.
From the emperor's point of view, he is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he is willing to give up his small family to fulfill everyone, but only Lu Li himself knows what he actually thinks.
Going to the border to serve the country is just a way to go up.
After all, in the dark corner behind him, the souls of the clansmen are still wandering, and Lu Li, as the last male of the Lu family, should give them an explanation.
War was his only option.
And what Lu Li can give An Xiabai is just a promise: "When I finish what I want to do, I will definitely give my wife and children a stable life for the rest of their lives." ”
An Xiabai's heart warmed, and she nodded with a smile and said, "I believe in my husband." ”
Just when the two of them were being teased by Mo Simin and the crown prince.
The emperor and Lu Li are gone, and even the mother who is usually willing to play with him is gone, and the big toy that the twins can find is Mo Simin.
Fortunately, Mo Simin is also willing to play with them.
She led the people directly through the garden, either folding flowers, or fluttering butterflies, or asking the prince to weave some knick-knacks out of willow branches, and then send them to them.
The children were amused by her and giggled, and she couldn't help but laugh herself.
From beginning to end, Mo Simin didn't notice the change in the eyes of the person standing next to him, until Zhou finally came to find someone.
"Aunt Zhou, are you well?" Mo Simin knew the Zhou family, she knew that the Zhou family was Lu Liuer's biological mother, and her own mother passed away early, so she naturally respected the Zhou family a little more than others, "I see that your face still seems to be very bad, do you want to go back and rest for a while?" ”
Zhou also had a good impression of her, shook his head with a smile and said, "Did I rest for a while just now, my body is almost nourished." ”
Xiaodong and Xiaoxue usually take turns with An Xiabai and Zhou, but now that An Xiabai is not there, they are naturally more sticky to Zhou, as soon as they see people, they run in her direction, even the gadgets that Mo Simin just made in his hand are directly ignored, rushing to Zhou's side, and then stretching out her white tender hand to ask her to pick herself up.
"What two unwell-behaved children." Mo Simin sneered.
"Xiaodong and Xiaoxue should be tired of playing, and it's time to go back and rest." Zhou picked up Xiaoxue, and Xiaodong asked the maid to help with it.
It is estimated that these two children are really tired today, and they didn't have a dispute because of what they were holding.
They were all lying in warm arms, their eyes as if they were weighing a thousand pounds, and they almost couldn't open them.
"Then Aunt Zhou, you can take them back to rest first." Mo Simin hurriedly said, "Be careful not to spoil the two little ancestors, otherwise if their mother knows, please spare me." ”
Zhou smiled gently, and slowly retreated with the two children.
At this time, it was not early, the sun was setting, the tired birds were returning to their nests, and when Mo Simin was thinking about whether to say goodbye to An Xiabai, she happened to come over.
"Let's go after dinner." An Xia Bai said, "I was busy in the kitchen for so long just now, just to prepare for cooking, you came over at noon, tossing until now, you should be hungry, right?" ”
The prince and Mo Simin both chose to nod their heads.
The food cooked by An Xiabai is far better than the food in the restaurant, and they usually don't have to eat it even if they want to, but now that the other party takes the initiative to invite, there is naturally no reason to refuse.
"Then I'll bother you." Having said that, Mo Simin didn't see anything at all, and took An Xiabai's hand and walked in the direction of the dining room.
And Lu Li and the crown prince slowly followed behind them.
"I've never felt the taste of heartbeat, General Lu, you have such a good relationship with your wife, can you explain it to me?" Seeing the two shadows in front of him gradually moving away, the prince suddenly opened his mouth.
Lu Li's heart was full of alarms, and he subconsciously looked at the prince, but unexpectedly found that his gaze seemed to be on the back of another person.
Lu Li's mood was suddenly extremely complicated: "How should I say this kind of thing, the so-called heartbeat, probably when I saw her, I thought she was the best-looking person in the world, and there was not even a flower that could compare to her beauty, and no one was more beautiful than her." ”
Halfway through his words, he couldn't help but be amused: "I'm a military general, and I'm not very good at the things described in the poems, so please forgive the prince." ”
And the prince on the other side not only held back his laughter, but even stared at him with bright eyes, as if he had seen a beam of light.
"I think General Lu said it very well."
This kind of thing never looks at the accumulation of rhetoric, but at the emotions in the heart.
This meal didn't end until late.
When Mo Simin was about to go home, he found that the sky outside was surprisingly dark, there was no starlight or moonlight in the sky, and it was gloomy, as if it was about to rain.
An Xiabai felt that it was not appropriate for her to go home alone, so she thought about asking Lu Li to send her back.
As a result, before Mo Simin could express his opinion, he was vetoed by the prince.
"I'll send Simin back, just by the way."
The palace is in the opposite direction from the Mo family, which way is it going?
Mo Simin raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask, when he suddenly remembered what happened in the restaurant earlier.
Maybe the prince is taking this opportunity to repay his kindness?
In that case, it's nothing to let him get his wish once.
Mo Simin agreed to the prince's send-off, and before parting, he told An Xiabai that it was cool at night and asked her not to stand outside for too long: "Anyway, there is a prince Feng to send me back, are you afraid that he can't protect me?" Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine, you can go back. ”
The doubts in An Xiabai's heart turned into a sentence in her open-minded attitude: "Okay, then you should pay attention to safety on the road." ”
After they said goodbye, they walked straight in the direction of the Mo family.
Along the way, the wind blew stronger and stronger, blowing Mo Simin's already thin body more like a willow fluttering in the wind, and the prince saw it in his eyes, and he was inexplicably a little distressed.
He thought that in the middle of the night, there should be no one wandering outside, so he took off his coat and put it on Mo Simin.
The coat that still had the temperature left was draped on her body, Mo Simin felt as if her cheeks were burned on a charcoal basin, at this time she was really glad that there was no moon tonight, otherwise she would be seen by the prince in shame and embarrassment.
"You put your cloak on me, what will you do with yourself?"
She felt that the prince's body was much more expensive than her own body!
The prince bent his eyes and smiled: "I am a man, my body must be stronger than yours, and it is not in the way to blow a little wind, but you, the girl's thin body needs to pay more attention to keeping warm." ”
Mo Simin's face was so red that he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he couldn't organize his words for a while.
They walked a few steps forward in silence, and found that the wind was getting stronger, and the cool breeze was mixed with cold raindrops.
"It's raining, let's find a place to shelter from the rain." The prince thought that it didn't matter if his body was drenched in a little rain, but Mo Simin was delicate and weak and couldn't catch a cold, so he took her hand and ran forward.
Running all the way to the street, they finally found a small shop with lanterns, and they stood in front of the door to shelter from the rain.
Coincidentally, just as Mo Simin and the prince walked into the shelter from the rain, it rained heavily in the sky behind them, and the raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground, and the splashing water droplets even wet Mo Simin's skirt.
"It's a good thing we ran fast, otherwise we would have gotten wet in the rain." Mo Simin said with concern, turned his head and found that the prince was staring at him, and subconsciously stroked his cheek and asked suspiciously: "Why are you looking at me like this, is there something dirty on my face?" ”
"There's nothing dirty, it's purely because you're good-looking." The prince said frankly.
