Even when Xue Rang was at the peak of his bravery, he had never been like Li Bu, who had won three big victories in a row in a month, and he couldn't form an army if he didn't have the supplies behind him.

He was too popular, and Xue Rang had already begun to suppress him intentionally or unintentionally in the army, such as deliberately not going to support, discussing the military situation and deliberately choosing when he was away, or letting him take the lead in charging to send him to death, one by one, and finally he didn't even cover it up.

It's just that Li Bu is not sure that he can pinch him to death at once, so no matter what he says in the army, he still greets him with a smile, not to mention anything else, at least the face must be in place.

Before returning to Beijing this time, Xue Rang also specially warned him, telling him to pay attention to the situation and not forget who helped him to get to where he is today.

Li Buhui said that he didn't dare to forget, but when he turned his head, he was already thinking about how to kill him.

When he returned to the capital, he took more than 3,000 people with him, and arranged more than 2,500 people to be stationed in Lihuaao outside Beijing, and only brought 500 people into Beijing, and the emperor summoned him to enter the palace immediately to meet him, so he did not dare to delay, and when he passed by the door of the house and saw Wanxian waiting for him, he did not stop to take a second look.

As usual, it was the same set of rhetoric before, He Yu finished reading the commendation speech, and all the ministers congratulated him together, Li Bu is already a third grade, and the emperor doesn't want him to have too much power, otherwise he can't stand it if another Xue comes out, so he doesn't mention the matter of adding officials to the knighthood, and only introduces him to family affairs.

"Aiqing will have twenty ...... this year"

Li Bu said: "Your Majesty, the minister is twenty-five this year. ”

The emperor slapped his head and suddenly said: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, you are also twenty-five years old this year, but I heard that you have not married a wife yet?" Men, it is important to make contributions, but the family is equally important, just like your triumph this time, after you go back, you don't even have a person who knows the cold and the hot, as the saying goes, start a family, first start a family and then start a business, you have achieved a lot now, and it's time to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a minister immediately echoed and stood up: "Your Majesty is reasonable, there is a dragon and a phoenix in a person like General Li, and a woman with both talents and looks needs to match, and the minister has a candidate, the daughter of Guanglu Temple, Wang Yingying, this woman can compose poems at the age of five, and she is famous in the capital at the age of ten. ”

The emperor was very satisfied after hearing this: "According to this, it is really a good marriage, what about Guanglu Siqing?" What do you think? ”

The emperor had already discussed it with someone in advance, and Guanglu Siqing stood up, seeing that Li Bu was already an old man looking at his son-in-law, and said happily: "General Li is not only born with the wind god Lang Jun, but also has the ability to be a husband and a man, if the minister can really get this son-in-law, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing when I dream." ”

They talked happily, one by one, and if they continued, they were afraid that even if he had a few children in the future, what the name of the child would be, and there were people around him who continued to echo and drive ducks to the shelves, which meant to force him to agree.

The emperor finally discussed it with others, and his heart was settled, so he remembered and asked Li Bu: "What does Aiqing think?" ”

Li Bu bowed his hand: "Your Majesty and all your lords have received a good intention, and thank you Lord Wang for your love, but I am afraid that the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's kindness." ”

The emperor's face instantly sank: "Disappointed? Where did Aiqing start with this? ”

"Although the minister has never seen Miss Wang, but listening to what His Majesty said to the adults, Miss Wang must be a stunning fairy-like beauty, if such a person can look at the minister, it is the blessing of the minister, but the minister has another love in his heart, and the minister has secretly sworn in his heart that she will not marry in this life."

This was surprising, and the emperor became interested: "You already have someone you like?" Who's that? What is the last name? You name it, and I will help you get married. ”

Li Bu looked up at the emperor, he was really unkind, and said word by word: "The love of the minister in his heart is the Fifth Highness." ”

The three words of the Fifth Highness came out of her mouth lightly, but they fell on the emperor's ears like thunder, and the ministers standing on both sides were also shocked by his words, and they opened their mouths, and no one answered for a long time.

Everyone couldn't figure out the emperor's face, and for a while they didn't know whether to echo or say something else to ease the atmosphere.

Li Bu had expected their reaction before he said this, he himself was quite calm, this would have to be said sooner or later, the atmosphere is so good today, and there are so many people who are coaxing and caring about his life's affairs, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Wan got a half-day off and went to play with other sisters in the palace, but not long after she went out, she ran back panting and said something big.

Luo Fu was teasing Luo Jun, knowing that she had always liked to make a fuss, so she didn't care much, but Concubine An Guifei saw her so curious and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Wan didn't know whether to let An Guifei know about it, but after thinking about it, Li Bu said this in front of the emperor and the ministers in the court, and An Guifei would know sooner or later, so she said: "Li Bu was edicted to return to Beijing today, and His Majesty originally planned to marry Yingying, the queen of Guanglu Temple, to Li Bu, but he refused, and said ......"

She looked at Concubine An cautiously: "He also said that the person he likes is the Fifth Highness, and he wants to marry the Fifth Highness as his wife." ”

Concubine An was stunned after hearing this, which was exactly the same as the reaction of the emperor in the court.

Luo Shi didn't feel surprised, not only did she not feel surprised, but she was calm and staggering, wondering if she hadn't heard what Su Wan said at all.

Su Wan was also surprised: "Your Highness, don't you have any reaction?" You don't want to ...... Don't want to say something? ”

"Say what?" She bent down to rub Luo Jun and picked it up and handed it to her grandmother: "He said that his father agreed?" He's crazy, and you're all taking his madness seriously? ”

Although Concubine An Guifei didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, the emperor would talk to him every time he came back, so she knew a little bit about Li Bu, and she also knew that he was the one he hated and hated the most in the past.

"Why did he suddenly say he wanted to marry you?" An Guifei was suspicious: "Did you ......go to Tongguan to talk to him before" with a strange expression, it is difficult not to think about it.

Luo Fu couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, where do you want to go?" ”

Concubine An Guifei pouted: "Before, your father said that he would choose a horse for you, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it's time for you to get married, you tell the truth, what do you think in your heart?" But the mother concubine doesn't care about those who are weak, as long as you like it, he is good to you, even if he is a poor boy, the mother concubine also admits it, but I don't know if your father and the emperor disagree, he loves face, if you really like such a person, you have to suffer. ”

Luo Fu said that there was no one he liked, and after coaxing An Guifei to believe it, she came out of Ruichun Palace, it was already evening, the emperor set up a banquet at night, Luo Fu and Luo Rui were going to go, go back to freshen up and change clothes, and met Luo Rui on the way to go, Luo Rui smiled at her: "These men, one or two are crazy, I heard that my father wants to match you with Yang Shenjin, but now General Li proposed, the fifth sister's ability is really impressive." ”

Luo Fu sighed: "Third sister, can you change your tone next time?" There is no one else here, such a yin and yang weird, and I was so panicked when I heard it at night. ”

An outsider came while talking, and Li Bu, who came over again after going home to change his clothes, raised his hand and bowed, calling His Highness, the two Highnesses, and I don't know which one he called.

Luo Rui laughed: "Say Cao Cao Cao is here, I won't bother you, there is still a way to go, and walk slowly." ”

Li Bu bowed slightly, and didn't even say a word of send.

"When did you arrive?" Luo Shi asked first.

"Arrived at noon."

He was wearing a purple official uniform, and the indigo that Luo Fu was wearing today looked like a complete color, one high and one low, Luo Fu only reached his shoulder, and he had to raise his head to look at him when he spoke.

Li Bu expected that she must have known that he told the emperor today that he wanted to marry her, and he was not afraid at all when he said it, but when he faced her at this moment, he suddenly became nervous, and he was so cramped that he didn't know what to say next.

In the end, it was Luo Shi who spoke first: "What did my father reward you?" ”

He said that he wanted to marry Luo Fu, but of course the emperor did not agree, and asked him to go back and think about what he wanted, but he had not yet rewarded him.

He shook his head: "I have everything I should have, what I want is that Your Majesty is reluctant, and second, Your Majesty is unwilling, except for gold, silver and jewelry, there is nothing to appreciate." ”

"Are you still not satisfied with the gold, silver and jewelry? How many people climb the top and step on the bottom for this? What do you want if you don't want money? ”

He said, "I want Your Highness." ”

Luo Fu raised his hand, but Li Bu didn't hide: "Does Your Highness still hate the minister?" Hate to the bone, the kind of hate that you don't want to see? ”

"Not really."

Li Bu's heart was overjoyed.

"But I don't like it that much."

It doesn't matter, it's an improvement from the previous disgust.

"I used to have someone who really wanted to marry......

Li Bu thought of Jiang Yan and began to grind his teeth.

Luo Shi sighed again: "Now there is no one, no one wants to do it." ”

He was a little disappointed: "What about the minister?" ”

Luo Fu asked him solemnly: "Have you ever thought about what we will do if we become enemies in the future?" You can probably do it with a wife. ”

He understood what she meant: "Your Highness is worried that the ministers will seek power and seize the throne in the future like Xue Rang, right?" ”

Luo Shi nodded: "Yes." ”

"It's not impossible." Li Bu pursed his lips and smiled: "But can it be different from whether you want to or not, I may have the opportunity to seek power and usurp the throne in the future, but I will never do this." ”

Luo Fu said: "It's not the first time you've said this. ”

Li Bu stood with his hands in his hands, stopped and looked up at the full moon in the sky, and paused: "How about a gift from the minister to His Highness?" Your Highness will love it. ”
