It is said that people are invincible in the world, and An Xiabai didn't understand the meaning of this sentence very well before, but now that he sees Fengyi Zhu, he can really understand.

In the past two days, they have said several times openly and secretly that they want Fengyi Zhu to be sensible and leave the Lu family and return to the palace, but the other party refused to leave, saying that he would not leave, and even did not hesitate to fight with his life for this, and said that if An Xiabai and Lu Li did not take her in, she would commit suicide at the door when she left the gate of the Lu family.

When she spoke, she didn't know where to hit and found a short knife across her neck, and they dared to cut their necks when they started to drive people away, Lu Li and An Xiabai had no choice but to nod and let her stay for a while.

The more fierce the Fengyi Zhu made trouble, the more it showed that she had a stiff quarrel with the emperor before, An Xiabai understood this, so he asked Lu Li to discuss with King Li first.

Otherwise, let go and let Fengyi Zhu not marry, if this continues, it will be even worse for his own family.

"Why haven't you been persecuting me lately?" As a result, after settling down, Feng Yi Zhu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Where do we dare to persecute the thirteen princesses, anyway, the whole world is the king's land, you are the emperor's favorite princess, every inch of the land is your home, you can live wherever you want." An Xiabai said indifferently.

Feng Yi Zhu saw their compromise, and before he had time to be happy, someone came to the palace.

They knocked on the door of the Lu family, and then asked about the whereabouts of Fengyi Zhu.

Lu Li was not at home, and the reception was naturally handled by An Xiabai, she half-frowned at a large number of people dressed as forbidden soldiers in front of the door, and asked with a puzzled face: "Are you here to find the general?" ”

The person who came shook his head and said to An Xiabai with an embarrassed expression: "We are here to find the thirteenth princess, and I hope that Mrs. Lu will be accommodating." ”

It should be that the people in the palace heard the news, so they ordered someone to bring Fengyi Zhu back.

An Xiabai hesitated for a moment and chose to get out of the way.

Yu Xin couldn't bear it and it was useless, it was the emperor who made the decision, and he was not qualified to speak: "The children in the family are young, I hope you will be careful not to scare them." ”

The team leader hurriedly nodded yes, indicating that he would definitely not make too much noise.

At the same time, Feng Yi Zhu, who heard the news, was about to sneak out of the Lu family, but he was stopped halfway through the run.

Her heart was so flustered that she almost jumped out of her chest: "What do you mean by this, do you dare to stand in my way?" ”

The leader of the team came to arrest people, it was the deputy general of the forbidden army who let Fengyi Zhu out of the palace at the beginning, seeing Fengyi Zhu struggling, he said with a complicated expression: "The thirteenth princess is angry, we are also acting on orders, the emperor said, I must bring you back to the palace today, and I hope you will cooperate a little, don't make the two sides ugly." ”

Feng Yi Zhu's face was about to turn green with anger: "You let go of me, I'd rather die than the palace!" ”

Just as she was about to turn over the short knife she had hidden to threaten others, the lieutenant general who led the team gave an order, and the forbidden army closest to her immediately slapped the short knife in her hand, and then pressed her hand to prevent Fengyi Zhu from having a chance to resist.

Feng Yi Zhu felt desperate, in this case, the martial arts she was proud of before couldn't be stretched at all, and could only be pinched by the forbidden army.

Tears flowed down like pearls with broken threads, and I couldn't cry and said: "I really don't want to marry a neighbor and a relative, I'd rather die than go!" ”

Her crying appearance is indeed pitiful, and the pear blossom with a rain-like face makes people feel a little pity in their hearts, but unfortunately, no one present can help her, An Xiabai can't, and neither can the forbidden army, because the will is given by the emperor, and all they can do is to obey the emperor's orders.

"Send the princess back to the palace." The adjutant said coldly.

The guards answered, and escorted Fengyi Zhu slowly to the door.

An Xiabai looked pitiful, and subconsciously asked: "Is this also an order from the emperor, what did he say?" ”

"The emperor said that he would bring the princess back to the palace at all costs, as long as he could send people back, it didn't matter if he was injured." The deputy general bowed his hand to An Xia Bai and said, "Thank you Madame for your accommodation, let's go back to the palace to resume our lives." ”

An Xiabai nodded, watching their backs fade away.

Maybe my original decision was really wrong?

She half-crouched down, her slender hand picking up the short knife that had fallen on the ground, and complex emotions lingered in her heart.

After Lu Li heard that the emperor ordered the arrest of Fengyi Zhu and returned to the palace, the first thing he thought about was the safety of An Xiabai, thinking that she was at home, he couldn't sit still anymore, hurriedly said goodbye to the queen, and went straight to the house.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Lu Li entered the door and saw An Xiabai, and the first thing he asked was this.

At that time, An Xiabai was sitting in the pavilion in the garden with Xiaodong Xiaoxue in her arms, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head away.

"Husband, why did you come back so quickly, didn't you go to King Li's place to talk about business?" She looked surprised.

"I was really talking about business just now, but I heard that after the emperor ordered someone to arrest the thirteen princesses and return to the palace, I came back, I was afraid that you would be frightened at home," Lu Li quickly rushed to the side of the mother and son, and asked with a concerned face, "When the forbidden army came to arrest people today, it didn't hurt you, right?" ”

An Xia Bai chuckled, and his fingertips gently scraped the tip of his nose: "What do you want, husband, they came to invite the thirteenth princess, and they didn't invite us, for your sake, they didn't dare to move their hands and feet indiscriminately." ”

Just as they were talking, Li Wenfeng, who heard the news, also rushed over.

"I heard that the emperor ordered someone to come to you today to invite the thirteenth princess back?"

As soon as they met, they must talk about business, and An Xiabai picked up the child and went to the pavilion to do the sun and leave the space for them.

"You've heard about that, too?" Lu Li was a little surprised by the speed with which the news spread.

Li Wenfeng nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "This is not a small matter, I just don't want to know, it's difficult." When I heard that the thirteenth princess lived in your mansion, I thought that the emperor had changed his mind and would not let her come with his relatives, but in a blink of an eye, I heard that he ordered someone to arrest the princess back, alas, it seems that the emperor does have the intention of seeking peace. ”

Lu Li couldn't help but change his face: "Although I don't agree with the matter of seeking peace, I think that since the emperor has made this decision, he must have his own considerations, as a courtier, it is not good to say anything." ”

Li Wenfeng sighed and said: "I also want to stay out of the matter like you, but I know too much about neighboring countries, and I really can't bear to see the thirteenth princess also fall into dire straits."

"General, what do you mean by that?" Lu Li said in surprise.

Li Wenfeng told him that neighboring countries have never been a country suitable for alliances, and over the years, they have done countless bad things, and they have been friendly more than once, but unfortunately none of them have been able to persevere.

"It's not once or twice that they treat the covenant as a waste of paper, this time they marry a princess, maybe they will have another next time, or cede the city, once they realize that we will continue to compromise because of the short-term peace, they will become more and more emboldened." Li Wenfeng shook his head and said, "After making peace, there will be endless troubles, but unfortunately the emperor doesn't understand this truth." ”

Since ancient times, it is true that peace cannot guarantee long-term peace, and only absolute force can stabilize the border passes.

Lu Li understands this truth, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't understand.

What he wants now is a brief peace like a mirror flower.

"General, what do you think we can do?" Lu Li asked, "You can't just watch the thirteenth princess get married, right?" ”

They really can't do anything right now.

"I heard that the emperor has sent a letter to the ministers, indicating that he is willing to make peace, and now the two parties should be discussing the marriage period, and we can really only watch things continue to develop now."

Although Lu Li does have a great opinion on the royal family because of family reasons, he has no opinion on the country, after all, he is a former soldier, and he naturally hopes that the country will be prosperous and strong.

As soon as he heard Li Wenfeng's analysis that they had no chance to change the ending, he immediately sighed heavily.

The topics they are talking about here are not enough to affect the mothers and children who are teaching their children to speak not far away.

An Xiabai sat beside the children, with a smile on her lips, and taught them to speak softly.

"Xiaodong, come and call your mother." She gently touched the child's cheek with her fingertips.

The fair-skinned short finger hand immediately raised, and then grasped her index finger, and the fleshy lips moved slightly, as if they wanted to speak, but they couldn't say it.

An Xiabai said patiently: "Xiao Dong is good, call my mother quickly." ”

His black pearl-like eyes rolled, he puffed out his face and put on various expressions, and finally when he was tired of laughing, he opened his mouth and called out to his mother.

An Xiabai smiled happily and bent her eyes: "My Xiaodong is so good, come, call again!" ”

She wanted to tease the child again, but he puffed out a face, and he didn't want to say anything, but puffed out a small face and opened his arms to An Xiabai to pick him up.

Seeing this, Xiaoxue next to her immediately opened her arms and called out to her mother in a milky voice.

An Xiabai couldn't hold the two children alone, so he turned to Lu Li and said, "Husband, come and hug him." ”

Just as they were talking about things, they were gossiping, Lu Li heard the voice, and hurriedly ran to the child's side after getting down.

The couple picked up a child one by one, and the scene was very harmonious.

Li Wenfeng saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but be happy for them: "I don't know how many good things you did in your previous life, it is estimated that you have burned a lot of incense, otherwise how could you be so lucky, not only to marry such a gentle and virtuous girl, but also to have two well-behaved and intelligent sons, it is really enviable to watch." ”

Lu Li and An Xiabai glanced at each other, and the corners of their lips invariably outlined a slight smile.

At this moment, Xiao Dong, who was held in An Xiabai's arms, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Li Wenfeng, and even pushed An Xiabai's shoulders and opened his arms at him.

It means to let Li Wenfeng hug himself too.

"It seems that your child likes me very much, why don't you let me hug him too?" Li Wenfeng's eyes lit up and said.

"Of course you can, but this kid is a little noisy, and I hope you must be careful when you hold him, General." An Xiabai carefully sent Xiao Dong into Li Wenfeng's arms.
