At the end of September of the first year of Guangqi (885 AD), Li Bao, together with the newly surrendered Wang Jian, Han Jian, Lu Yanhong and others, led the escort army back to Weizhou, which had been absent for a long time.

Li Bao returned to Weizhou and immediately convened a high-level meeting of the Weizhou Group, and the heads of various yamen in the kingdom of Ji, who had received urgent orders in advance, and several festivals made the main officials of the yamen gather in Weizhou.

Since all the armed forces in Weizhou were carrying out combat missions outside, the military representatives Zhang Zhifang, Wang Jian, Lu Yanhong, Han Jian, and others went out of the enlarged meeting, and the rest were basically people from the civilian bureaucracy.

The main content of the meeting was to discuss the takeover of the newly defeated Weiguo, the reception of the three feudal towns of Baodae and Baodae, as well as the dispatch of officials. And it is necessary to reserve talents for the two towns of Dingyan and Shuofang that are about to be captured.

Zhang Chengye and Wei Zhuang, Jing Xiang and other subordinate officials are very good at handling such trivial matters, Li Bao is not too worried, but he reminded the three of them that in the newly opened territory, the selection of people must find out the details, and they must also have the ability to solve problems. We must not elect people who are greedy and incompetent, and ruin the reputation of Weizhou and the prestige of King Ji.

Another matter is the whole group of about 65,000 escort troops captured by the Weizhou army in this sortie, as well as the prisoners of the Baoda army, the Suining army, and the patriotic army. The escort made up the majority of these captives, and only a third of the other three feudal towns were captives.

However, most of these generals have bad habits, so they must be vigorously rectified, and if they are really bad, they must clearly understand the sequence of the army, so the task of reorganizing these troops is very arduous.

Cao, who joined the Weizhou Army, had similar experience in reorganization and training before, and although some of the prisoners had many bad habits, they were very confident that they would form a new army as soon as possible. Due to the fact that Zhang Chengfan, who joined the army, was not in Weizhou, Li Bao could only bet the heavy task of reorganizing and training the new army on Zhang Zhifang's shoulders.

Zhang Zhifang has been very low-key over the years because of Zhang Qingping, and now when Li Bao is employed, he is not too low-key, after all, there is an in-law relationship between them Zhang and Li Bao, the eldest princess of Changning.

After arranging these two most important things properly, Li Bao relieved himself of his burden and told Zhang Chengye to arrange for him to meet with Zheng Zheng in the next few days.

After Zhang Chengye got the order, he immediately agreed to arrange it.

Seeing the busy and fulfilling state of many subordinate officials, Li Bao, as the lord of Weizhou, relaxed a little, and then got into the carriage and turned back to the long-lost Jiwang Mansion.

After getting the news of Li Bao's return to Weizhou, the entire Jiwang Mansion was boiling, and several of Li Bao's wives and concubines were dressed up early in the morning, and then Ling'er commanded the servants to start cleaning up all parts of the mansion with a big belly, and asked Xin Niang to inspect everywhere on her behalf.

In addition to obeying the order to inspect, Xin Niang also kept sending people to wait at the intersection outside the gate, once Li Bao's carriage came back, let the people in the house go out to line up to meet Li Bao earlier.

Zhang Hui is a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart waiting for Li Bao's return, the king finally came back, and she still has no signs of pregnancy, she has also secretly looked for a doctor, the doctor told her that there is nothing wrong with her body, but she has not been conceived, so that her distress is increasing day by day, and then look at Ling'er and Yunfang, the pain in her heart is even more uncomfortable.

Yun Fang was not too anxious, firstly, her temperament was already calm, and secondly, her belly was too big.

Her labor date is approaching soon, and Li Bao has not had time to be idle when she has been traveling in the northeast and west all these years, so she didn't have much hope for Li Bao to be by her side this time.

Who knew that Li Bao came back, she couldn't help but think in her heart that this was because Lang Jun was worried about her production, and such a considerate act made Yun Fangyun's sensitive heart even sweeter.

……

Sitting in the steady carriage, Li Bao watched the changes in Weizhou with great interest, and he knew how difficult it was to come by. Over the years, without the dedication of him, Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang, Wei Zhuang, Zhao Wenzhen and others, Weizhou would not have been prosperous today.

When the surrounding people saw the carriage marked by King Ji's Mansion passing by, they all bowed to the carriage one after another, and they were still loudly praising Prince Ji who brought them peace and well-being.

Li Bao listened to the praise of the people and was happy in his heart, but he missed his wives and concubines even more. The eldest daughter born to him by Ling'er is named Xinyue, and he loves him very much as the first crystallization of his life, but for the development of Weizhou over the years, he has not been able to stay with Ling'er when she gave birth, and he is also very guilty about it.

This time, Yun Fang was about to give birth, he deliberately calculated the date, and then put down the matter of attacking Xiazhou, and hurried back to Weizhou, fortunately, it was still in time.

After two quarters of an hour of driving, Li Bao finally returned to the long-lost palace, and when he got out of the car, Ling'er with a prominent pregnant belly, a delicate and lovely Xinniang, a shy and timid Zhang Hui, and a happy Yunfang all made Li Bao feel very cordial.

He walked quickly to Ling'er's side, supported her Rouyi, and then stretched out his hand to Yun Fang, who had a bigger belly, and then nodded to Xin Niang and Zhang Hui, and then smiled and walked towards the palace with Zhongshu.

After entering the palace, Li Bao was the first to take the seat, and Ling'er and the others were waiting for their respective maidservants, and saluted Li Bao in unison, Li Bao hurriedly waved his hand and said to them: "Okay, forget these false gifts, you can sit down quickly." Don't be tired, Ling'er and Yun Niangzi sit down quickly, Xin Niang and Zhang Niangzi, you should also sit down quickly. I've worked hard for you these days, but when I come back this time, I will stay in Weizhou for a while and accompany you well. By the way, my Xinyue, quickly take it out and show me. ”

Cui Niang listened to Li Bao's words, and immediately asked the nurse to hug Xinyue, and then took Xinyue from the nurse, came to Li Bao in person and delivered it to Li Bao.

Seeing his three-year-old daughter crying out to himself Aya (father), Li Bao's intuition was happy, this was his blood and flesh, and the spontaneous love in his heart made him can't help but kiss and kiss the young Xinyue face.

Xinyue was called by Li Bao's gradually stiff beard, and said in a milky voice: "Oops, Aya blew up Xinyue, Xinyue won't play with Aya anymore, Xinyue is going to play with her mother." ”

Everyone in the hall watched the intimate interaction between Li Bao and his daughter, which made the big guys laugh.

Zhongshu listened to Li Bao's words, and they showed joy on all faces, now it's okay, Lang Jun won't leave.

Among them, Zhang Hui and Xin Niang are the most happy, after all, the time they enter the house to wait is not much different, but Ling Niang and Yun Niangzi are both pregnant, Xin Niang and Zhang Hui are not pregnant, so both of them have the idea of seizing the time to get pregnant.

Ling'er is now pregnant, so naturally she will not have the idea of competing for favor again, but she has been friends with Xinniang for a long time, and Xinniang has never been pregnant, and she is already the second child, so she immediately said to Li Bao: "Lang Jun is not going to leave this time, but fortunately, he will take a good rest in the house and raise it, and now Sister Xinniang has learned a few nourishing recipes from the doctor, Lang Jun may as well go to Xinniang's sister's room to walk around and walk around." ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, Ling'er said this, she was anxious, knowing that Ling'er would help Xinniang no matter how much she preached, but she couldn't, after all, the two of them were the first to enter the house, and they were the most compatible in Su Rili. Although Ling'er does things fairly on weekdays, such urgent things will inevitably favor Xinniang, who is more friendly with her.

Ling Niang said this, Zhang Hui was anxious, but she couldn't say anything, she had to look at Li Bao who was still teasing Xinyue with a resentful face, hoping that the king could detect her eager gaze and hope.

However, Li Bao didn't look up at her, but just said lightly: "Well, I know." Then he spoke to each of the ladies and asked the servants to serve the ladies with all their hearts.

After the explanation, he saw that there was still some time before lunch, so he stood up and wanted to leave, but before leaving, he dropped his words and said to Ling'er and Yunfang: "You go back to the room to rest first, and I will see you later." Next, Li Bao slowly returned to the back hall with Xinyue in his arms.

Naturally, the ladies no longer sat in the lobby, and the free maids helped them back to their rooms, waiting for the luncheon to come back together.

……

Li Bao reclined on the bed, teasing Xiao Xinyue while watching Ling'er hold her pregnant belly and be a female red. He saw that Ling'er was still so tired at this time, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why are you still doing this, wouldn't it be good to leave it to the next people?" Beware of burning your eyes. ”

Ling'er listened to Li Bao's words, her face was full of loving smiles, she looked at the lively and chaotic Xinyue, and touched her stomach with her hand, and said: "My own children are more intimate by themselves." Besides, the slave family now has nothing to do except for daily fetal maintenance, and doing needlework can move their hands and feet, Lang Jun don't worry about the slave family. ”

Li Bao saw that Ling'er was so persistent, he didn't say anything anymore, and continued to tease and have fun with Xinyue.

Ling'er looked at the smile and love on Li Bao's face, her heart was also warm, thinking of the bits and pieces of life with Li Bao in the past, she couldn't help but say in her heart: Lang Jun is a loving person from below, and he cares about his subordinates and loves his children. gave birth to Xinyue in her first child, and Lang Jun did not dislike her mother and daughter, but doted on Xinyue very much, which made Ling'er very moved for a while.

Now that she is pregnant again, she is more happy in her heart, thinking that with Xinyue's status in Lang Jun's heart, no matter whether her second child is born to a man or a girl in the future, she will not have to worry about the future of the child.

But now Lang Jun is old, and he has also passed the crown ceremony two years ago, but the marriage of Zheng Yan, the lady of the Zheng family, and Lang Jun has not yet been finalized, she can't help but feel anxious, remembering that the eldest princess of Changning is coming to Weizhou in the next few days, she has made up her mind to let the eldest princess persuade Lang Jun to marry the lady of the Zheng family as soon as possible. But what did Lang Jun think about this matter?

Li Bao has basically not been in Weizhou over the years, so she doesn't know what other clues are in this matter, looking at Li Bao today is very happy, she can't help but want to explore Li Bao's tone first.

"Lang Jun, so many years have passed, what happened to the lady of the Zheng family in Hedong, Lang Jun didn't tell the slave family, the slave family has always been in the clouds, I don't know how Lang Jun planned it......" Ling'er asked cautiously, for fear that something would be wrong and annoy Li Bao.

Li Bao looked at Ling'er's cautious face, he sighed, it seems that he has to mention one more thing when he sees Zheng Yan in the past two days, otherwise Zheng Yan's girl will definitely scold herself to death.
