Chapter 1622: I miss my mother’s craftsmanship the most
When Wu Xu heard Xiaoping's words, Wu Xu was immediately ashamed.
She had been living for her own selfishness this year, even hurting Li Ruoshuang several times, but she was still so important to Li Ruoshuang's heart.
At this moment, Wu Xu couldn't say a word. He hugged Xiao Ping'an tightly and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out.
Xiaopingan looked at Wu Xu who was crying suddenly in front of him with some strangeness, and didn't understand what happened.
Li Ruoshuang just hugged the two of them and didn't say a word, just sighed softly.
The Prince of Han's Mansion was cleaned up very quickly, with clean water sprinkled everywhere and it looked brand new.
Li Ruoshuang stood in the yard, slowly waving the sword in her hand.
It seems that she hasn't practiced sword dancing for a long time since her marriage to Zhao Chen, but her skills are not unfamiliar at all.
Sword flowers are flying, and the sword blade is sharp.
Wu Xu sat on a stool nearby and played with Xiao Ping An.
Suddenly a servant's voice came from outside: "Mother, I'd like to pay my respects to you."
Li Ruoshuang put away her sword, but her eyes were filled with confusion, wondering why Fang Yi had come to find her?
However, Wu Xu immediately thought of the reason. She had also heard that Fang Xuanling objected to Zhao Chen being canonized as prince in the court.
And now Fang Yi comes here all the time, obviously for this matter.
"Sister Ruoshuang, how about I help you meet her?" Wu Xu looked at Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang thought for a while and then looked at herself covered in sweat. It was obviously inappropriate to meet guests like this.
And although Wu Xu is young, his actions are much smarter than his own.
"Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Wu. You can help my sister to see why Fang Yi has come to pay her respects." Li Ruoshuang nodded and said.
Wu Xu took Xiao Ping'an out of the yard and soon saw Fang Yizhi drinking tea in the living room.
Fang Yizhi was obviously extremely surprised to see Wu Xu coming out to see him.
But he soon came to his senses, smiled and held hands with Wu Xu: "Miss Wu Xu, why didn't the princess come?"
"Sister Ruoshuang has something to do and can't come for the time being. Let me come over to meet you. If you have anything, you can tell me." Wu Xu hugged Xiao Ping'an and sat on a chair nearby, looking at Fang Yizhi with a calm expression.
Fang Yizhi found it difficult to speak for a while.
He came here just because of Wu Xu's affairs, and now it feels a little strange to talk about her affairs in front of Wu Xu.
But what can he do if Li Ruoshuang doesn't meet him?
If my father finds out about coming here today, there will definitely be no benefit in going back.
But this will definitely be exposed.
If that's the case, then...
"Miss Wu Xu, since the princess can't come, I'll tell you straight away. Anyway, this matter is related to you." Fang Yizhi suddenly spoke, looking like he was breaking a jar.
Wu Xu remained silent, as she now knew what Fang Yi had come here to say.
"Miss Wu Xu must have heard of the saying that Emperor Zhuan III, Wu Dai Li Xing, we don't care whether this is true or not."
"My father said that if Miss Wu Xu is prepared to stay with His Highness the King of Han, my father will not hesitate to oppose His Highness the King of Han becoming the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"Miss Wu Xu, the Tang Dynasty needs His Highness the King of Han, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also need His Highness the King of Han. I, Fang Yizhi, am here. I implore Miss Wu Xu to leave His Highness the King of Han for the sake of the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty." Fang Yizhi said,
He actually knelt down directly in front of Wu Xu.
Wu Xu looked at Fang Yizhi expressionlessly.
She knew that she had no choice in this matter.
Even though Zhao Chen still defended himself after returning to Chang'an, the people around Zhao Chen and the civil and military officials in the court would not agree.
Zhao Chen will also be implicated because of himself.
After all, he shouldn't have stayed in Chang'an.
At this moment, Wu Xu thought of Li Ruoshuang and sighed suddenly in his heart. Looking at Fang Yizhi kneeling on the ground, there was no way he could do anything.
"Get up, I understand." Wu Xu let out a long sigh, stood up from the chair, then hugged Xiao Ping An and slowly walked outside.
"Thank you!" Fang Yi looked at Wu Xu's back and said slowly.
…
"Hey, do you think that boy Chen is thinner?" Outside Chang'an City, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Queen Changsun, and all the officials of the seventh rank and above in Chang'an City went out of the city for twenty miles to greet the army.
At this moment, the emperor seemed extremely excited, with a smile on his face.
Empress Changsun sat on the chariot beside her, looking far ahead.
"After such a long military life, of course I have become thinner, but I am definitely more energetic." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
She is still very confident in Zhao Chen's appearance.
After all, when I was young, I and the emperor were both handsome.
What Empress Changsun hopes most now is to see Zhao Chen appear in front of her as soon as possible.
"I don't think I saw Wu Xu." The emperor looked back from Li Ruoshuang, but he didn't see Wu Xu.
The emperor felt a little strange.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she also looked in the direction of Li Ruoshuang, and sure enough she did not see Wu Xu's shadow.
"Ruoshuang, why don't you see Xiao Wu coming?" Queen Changsun asked Li Ruoshuang.
"Royal Grandma, Aunt Xiao Wu said that she is not feeling well and is resting at home." Xiao Pingan rushed to explain for Li Ruoshuang.
Although she found it strange, Empress Changsun didn't ask any further questions.
This person feels uncomfortable sometimes, and no one can imagine when something will happen to him or her.
"Look, the army is on its way!" A shout from a distance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The black army appeared in front of everyone with neat steps.
Flags were waving and swords and guns were standing everywhere.
The horses are majestic and the soldiers are mighty.
The leader was none other than the battle-hardened King Zhao Chen of Han.
"I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the King of Han back to the court." Almost at the same time, all the people along the street, as well as the civil and military officials behind the emperor's chariot, all raised their hands and saluted Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen jumped off the horse.
Niu Jinda, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu beside him also jumped down together.
Several people came directly to the emperor's chariot, bowed and said: "Zhao Chen pays homage to your majesty and queen mother."
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Queen."
The emperor was very dissatisfied with the title Zhao Chen gave him.
Why should I call myself Your Majesty and Queen Changsun as Queen Mother?
What? Aren’t you his father?
Although the emperor was dissatisfied, he was still very happy.
He quickly got down from the chariot, led Queen Changsun down from the chariot, walked to Zhao Chen, helped Zhao Chen up with both hands, and patted Zhao Chen heavily on the shoulder: "Good boy, you have lived up to my expectations."
"Chen'er seems to be taller than before." Empress Changsun took Zhao Chen's hand and said lovingly.
"I have lost weight and look taller. Did the queen prepare delicious food for her children? During these days on the front line, what I miss most is the queen's craftsmanship." Zhao Chen looked at the eldest grandson Queen.
