Li Luo smiled solemnly and said: "Uncle, there's no need. I've given a lot of rewards to Xuanlou in the past few times. It's useless to have extraneous things."
"Lou'er, don't lie to me."
Li Luo was stunned, touched the tip of his nose, and asked tentatively: "Where did Xuanlou lie to uncle?"
Emperor Wanlong chuckled and said: "Don't think that I don't know that you have distributed all the property that I have given you to the generals in the army, and whether your salary has been given to the rear army to provide compensation to the soldiers who died in battle."
Already?"
Li Luo was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that I couldn't escape my uncle's eyes even in Xifu."
Emperor Wanlong stood up, walked to Li Luo, grabbed Li Luo's shoulders tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Yun, tell me, is it my luck to have such a nephew?"
When Concubine Yun heard what Emperor Wanlong had just said, she was also shocked. After hearing the words, she replied softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Ninth Highness is not only the Emperor's luck, but also Da Gan's luck."
"Well said, I have never misjudged you, Lou'er, you are the mainstay of my Da Gan. If I were alive, no one in Da Gan would dare to say no to you."
Li Luo looked at Emperor Wanlong and said slowly: "Your Majesty, before Xuanlou left Zhuocheng, he made a promise. Although Xuanlou broke his promise, he must abide by this promise and die without regrets."
Emperor Wanlong was greatly relieved and laughed loudly.
Outside the tent, the guards could not help but look at each other when they heard Emperor Wanlong laughing loudly, but they had no idea what the people in the tent were saying.
By the time Li Luo returned to Prince Chun's tent, it was already dinner time.
Luo Shi couldn't hold it any longer, she was anxious, and she looked forward to seeing Li Luo. Before Li Luo could pay his respects to Prince Chun Li Chengye, tears welled up in Luo Shi's eyes and she began to cry bitterly.
Li Luo was startled and hurried forward, knelt down and bowed respectfully. Luo ignored the princess's etiquette and rushed over, hugged Li Luo, and said with sobs: "Lou'er, Lou'er, why did you come back?"
, why did you come back?"
Li Luo persuaded her warmly and kept patting Luo Shi's heart. After a long time, Luo Shi stopped crying, pulled Li Luo to stand up, and said with a little embarrassment: "I have lost my temper, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Chengye laughed: "It doesn't matter, Lou'er's return is a great event for my Prince Chun's Palace. As a mother, you should naturally have some privileges. Haha, Lou'er has become famous in the Western Regions and boosted the reputation of Dagan Li family.
well done."
Li Luo then saluted everyone in the seat one by one. In addition to Prince Chun and Luo Shi, several concubines in the palace who were favored by Prince Chun were all there, including Concubine Xuan, Concubine Lan, and Concubine Xia.
There was another person with a charming smile on her face. She was the concubine Li who was newly brought into the palace by Prince Chun before Li Luo left Zhuocheng. However, seeing that she was on an equal footing with several other princesses, she was probably one of the concubines.
Li Luo turned his eyes and saw Concubine Lan's slightly bulging waist. He smiled in astonishment and said, "Congratulations, father, and congratulations, aunt."
Concubine Lan's face turned red, and Prince Chun laughed loudly and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad."
Concubine Lan rolled her eyes at Prince Chun and said angrily: "What's the matter, Lou'er, I'm asking for a beating."
Li Luo smiled softly and said, "Auntie, please don't get angry, Lou'er should be beaten."
Everyone laughed loudly. Concubine Lan moved her body, glanced at Luo Shi, and then at Prince Chun, but stopped talking.
Seeing this, Luo Shi wiped her tears, pulled Li Luo and said, "Lou'er, hurry up and serve tea to Auntie Lan. You have been serving in the army in Xifu these years, and Concubine Lan has missed you a lot."
Li lowered his jaw, but first served tea to Prince Chun and Luo, and then respectfully bowed to the princesses one by one.
When she arrived in front of Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan stood up and took the tea cup from Li Luo's hands, placed it on the table, looked at Li Luo carefully for a few times, stretched out her hand to caress the white hair on Li Luo's temples, and sighed:
"Lou'er, how did you get here all these years?"
Li Luo smiled calmly and said, "Auntie, I'm worried about you. Lou'er will be fine."
Concubine Lan's eyes turned red, and she choked slightly and said, "It's my aunt's fault."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing the meaning of Lan Fei's words. Only Li Luo understood that Lan Fei was still brooding over the farewell to Meiyuan. They never thought that time had changed, but Lan Fei still remembered it in her heart.
Li Luo smiled casually and said: "My aunt is very kind to Lou'er and thinks of Lou'er in everything. How can she say anything bad? If my aunt thinks like this again, it must be Lou'er's unfilial piety."
Concubine Lan's eyes were hot, and a tear suddenly fell from her eyes, and she whispered: "Lou'er, Lou'er, my aunt is worried day and night. I'm afraid that I can't tell you what I'm thinking. Why did you come back?"
Li Luo was secretly surprised when he saw that Concubine Lan was in a state of shock and her eyes were filled with tears. He hurriedly supported her with both hands, and Bing Xin Jue crossed over. He repeatedly said with relief: "Auntie, please be at ease. Lou'er is fine. It's all Lou'er's fault. I'm tired, aunt."
Worried."
Concubine Lan saw that Li Luo was panicking and was in a hurry. She didn't know how to deal with herself. How could she still look like a general who was growing in power and reputation?
She couldn't help but chuckle, and she was full of charm, and shouted: "From today on, I will stay in the house honestly and spend more time with Sister Luo, you know?"
Li Luo agreed repeatedly, and Prince Chun smiled at the side and said: "Look, Lou'er has just come back. You two, after one of you cried and the other cried, you thought that I, Lou'er, stood up in the West Mansion and returned home, but let you
A few of them act like three-year-old children, how will they be able to command the soldiers of the three armies if word spreads out to Lou'er?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the tent began to criticize him. Prince Chun couldn't resist it and apologized repeatedly, which finally extinguished the anger of several people.
Prince Chun glanced at Li Luo, gave a wry smile, and shook his head repeatedly. Li Luo smiled, looked at Concubine Lan, and said with a smile: "But Lou'er still has to congratulate my aunt. Lou'er has a younger brother. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
Several people in the tent were startled, and Concubine Lan asked in astonishment: "How did you know it was a boy?"
Li Luo was stunned and glanced at Prince Chun. Prince Chun was also stunned. He looked at Concubine Lan's waist, a little happy and a little doubtful, and asked: "Boy?"
Li Luo said in astonishment: "Isn't it?"
Luo Shi continued: "Your father invited several doctors but they couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. Some said it was a boy, and some said it was a girl. Lou'er, how did you know it was a boy?"
Li Luo snorted, smiled softly and said, "I guess it's a boy."
Prince Chun's expression changed, he looked at Li Luo steadily, and said quietly for a long time: "Since Lou'er said it is, then it is."
Concubine Lan and others looked at Li Luo and his son in surprise, but both of them had indifferent expressions on their faces. Prince Chun had a hidden smile on his face, not knowing whether he heard what Li Luo said or had other ideas.
However, Prince Chun did not say much and quietly diverted everyone's thoughts away.
Deep in the candle shadow, the early autumn breeze is cool.
Li Luo and Prince Chun faced each other calmly, the candlelight flickered slightly, and the shadows of the two reflected on them were also longer and shorter. (To be continued.)
