The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and several fast horses rode from far to near on the horse track. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the side door of Prince Chun's Mansion. The leader shouted, picked up the reins, and sat down. The white horse neighed, stood upright, and turned around.
, stopped steadily.? ????
Fu Cai, the gatekeeper of the palace, hurried forward with a full belly, climbed under the horse, and shouted: "The young prince is coming back to the palace."
Dagan, Prince Chun's Mansion.
Prince Chun Li Chengye, the highest official in the imperial family, was the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor Wanlong Emperor Li Chengde. He was deeply trusted by the emperor and was granted the title of Taibao. He was in charge of the world's military forces and could almost be said to be the leader of one man and more than ten thousand men.
If there is one thing that he is not satisfied with, I am afraid that his heirs are withering away. Prince Chun is in his prime and has many wives and concubines, but he has few children and only has one son and one daughter. One son is Li Luo, named Xuanlou.
The other girl, Yaoyue, is still in her infancy.
Li Luo is the eldest son, and will inherit the position of hereditary prince in the future. His status is honorable, which is rare even in Zhuocheng where the emperor's relatives gather.
Her biological mother, Luo, was from the Luo family, a powerful family in Luozhou in the 19th prefecture of Zhongfu. She was the sister of the head of the Luo family. She was the wife of Prince Chun and had considerable power in Zhuocheng.
Li Luo came back from the palace and looked at the nearby gate of the palace. He felt warm in his heart and the melancholy in his eyebrows disappeared. He glanced at Fu Cai, raised his body and landed lightly in front of the horse.
"Commander Fu, please get on with things." Li Luo said.
"The riding skills of the young prince are really getting better and better." Fu Cai got up and said panting, "The young prince can just call me Xiaoren Fu Cai or Xiao Fu. He cannot be the steward of Fu, nor can he be the steward of Fu."
Li Luo smiled, said nothing, walked up the steps, and called from a distance: "Mother, I'm back. It's windy here, and it won't be good if you catch a cold."
"It's okay. I've been sitting in the house for a long time. Come out and get some air." Luo stood in front of the palace door, waited for Li Luo to approach and caressed his son's head lovingly, and then scolded, "Don't be so reckless when dismounting from the horse, letting Fu Cai step on his feet.
Come down slowly, your sprained legs and feet will be healed."
"Haha, there are more people holding horses and stepping on the ground on the battlefield than there are soldiers."
Luo Shi slapped Li Luo angrily and said angrily: "Okay, I haven't even grown up yet and I've already started scolding my mother."
Li Luo chuckled and said, "How dare Lou'er be so rude? It's not too late to feel sorry for my mother."
Luo Shi pinched the tip of Li Luo's nose lovingly, and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is naughty, let's see how mother handles you."
Li Luo smiled, knowing that his mother would not really punish him, so he did not show any fear. Luo asked softly: "Why are you back so early?"
"I have already mastered what the teacher taught me, and I don't have any new knowledge. It's just the same clichés. It's very boring. Lou'er missed his mother, so he ran back first." Li Luo didn't talk about breaking branches, and said with a smile.
He said slightly proudly and nonchalantly.
"You, be careful if your father finds out and tries to teach you something."
"As long as my mother is here, I am not afraid of my father."
Luo Shi shook his head helplessly and continued: "My mother has warned you many times that anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The best thing is to hide your weakness. It is not a wise move for you to show off your sharpness like this."
Li Luo responded respectfully: "I understand, mother, Lou'er has grown up and knows what's appropriate."
"That's good. Hey, you, no matter how old you are, you are still your mother's child. Even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you are still a child in your mother's eyes."
Li Luo responded repeatedly, grabbed Luo and walked towards the palace. Suddenly he paused and asked curiously: "Why don't you see Luo'er? What a lazy girl." After saying that, he was surrounded by the servants of the palace and entered the palace.
But I couldn't see the strange looks on everyone's faces.
In the distance, on the street corner.
A figure, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, looked at Li Luo's back quietly, and said to himself indifferently: "Isn't it interesting that there are no dogs in the gate?" After saying that, he slowly stepped back a few steps without making any noise, and took a few leisurely steps.
Step by step, he quietly disappeared into Zhuo City.
Not long after entering the palace, he saw several royal concubines chatting in the courtyard from a distance. When he got closer, Li Luo saluted and said, "How are you, my aunt?"
"This child is really getting more and more sensible." Concubine Xuan said with a smile, "I'm afraid Sister Luo will be spoiled for choice when choosing a daughter-in-law." After saying this, she covered her mouth and smiled.
The Luo family secretly disliked Concubine Xuan's dissoluteness, but Concubine Xuan also came from the Lin family, one of the six aristocratic families in the Gan Dynasty, and her family background was about the same as that of the Luo family. Although she had no choice but to control her too much, she smiled lightly and said: "From now on, you...
Auntie will inevitably have to worry about something."
"Of course this is good. Lou'er likes the girl from that family. Tell your aunt and she will do everything for you."
"Thank you Aunt Xuan, but I'll bother Aunt Xuan after Lou'er is crowned." Li Luo bowed and replied with a smile.
"Sister Luo is so lucky. Lou'er is so smart and will inevitably become famous in the future. Well, my sister has such a hard life. She gave birth to Yao Yue and raised her with great difficulty. She still doesn't know where she will marry. I'm afraid she won't see her in a few years.
Not even the same." Concubine Xia on the side sighed with a rather sour tone. She was the biological mother of Yao Yue, the daughter of Prince Chun.
"What's the difference between a woman and a man? A man can achieve great things for his family and country. Is it possible that a woman can only marry as a woman and feel sorry for herself?" A princess who was as beautiful as a fairy, dignified and beautiful said with a dissatisfied frown.
Li Luo felt happy and called out respectfully: "Aunt Lan is well."
The princess who spoke showed a rare warm smile and nodded. The real name of this concubine Lan was Qiu Luwei, which was taken from Qiu Luwei, the first born of Gui Po. Qingluo had not changed her clothes.
Concubine Lan was originally a well-known and talented woman in Dagan. She was good at poetry, writing, music, and chess. What was even more rare was that she had both good looks and good looks. Some good people rated Dagan as a beautiful woman, and Concubine Lan was also among the top ten.
However, his later marriage into Prince Chun's palace aroused everyone's discussion. Li Luo didn't know how his father could marry such a talented woman who was famous all over the world, but he was quite close to Concubine Lan.
"Sister Lan is both talented and beautiful, but there are not many talented women and beauties in the world who can be as talented as Sister Lan." Concubine Xia replied calmly, quite disapproving of it, but although she had been in the mansion longer than Concubine Lan, she still
Concubine Lan was deeply loved by Prince Chun. She was independent and self-respecting, and she was extremely upright in her conduct and never fought for power. Even the Luo family gave Lan Concubine three points. Although Concubine Xia didn't like Lan Concubine's words, she couldn't say anything to contradict her.
Luo Shi didn't want Li Luo to listen to these gossips, so he smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, we are all a family. Where are these extraneous things? Lou'er, you have been tired for a day, go and have a rest early."
Li Luo responded, bowed again, said goodbye to everyone and returned to the house.
