Chapter 905 Visiting Li Qingxia
Chapter 905 Visiting Li Qingxia
When he didn't want to leave the palace openly, the carriage that Wu Chengsi had given to Li Cunxi came in handy.
People always say that it is good to be an emperor, but once you become an emperor, you will be trapped behind high walls for your entire life.
If Li Cunxi didn't have seven or eight capable ministers, would he have wanted to leave the palace so easily?
But a quarter of an hour later, Li Cunxi, who had changed into casual clothes, took Xiao Mei, who had just woken up, out of the palace.
Ma Rong, the great general of the Qianniu Guard, also became an ordinary coachman, driving a carriage outside.
It was quite dangerous to go out in a carriage in this weather. Fortunately, the carriage sent by Wu Chengsi was made of strong material. It was not until they reached the Duke of E's Mansion that Ma Rong stopped the carriage and whispered a reminder to the people inside.
“We’re here already?”
Xiao Mei rubbed her sleepy eyes. She just closed her eyes for a while and then she arrived.
"Yeah, let's go."
Li Cunxi stepped onto a stool and got off the carriage first, then helped Xiao Mei down.
Almost all the servants of the Duke of E's Mansion were Li Qingxia's confidants among the Snake Spirits. When they saw Li Cunxi coming, they were very excited and kowtowed to him repeatedly.
"Okay, everyone, get up."
"I dressed up like this specially to go out, I can't let anyone recognize me."
Li Cunxi walked into the Duke of E's Mansion through the path made clear by everyone.
Lady Eguogong and Princess Anyuan, Li Zixia, came out of the main hall to greet them.
In the snow outside, Li Cunxi laughed.
"My cousin, my cousin, you are pregnant, so don't kneel down to greet me."
"I came here specially to see you."
Li Qingxia, who was already thirty-two years old, walked down the steps and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"I heard you were pregnant, so I came to see you." Li Cunxi smiled from ear to ear. "Brother Jinghui is already forty years old. If he doesn't have a child, he must be worried."
"Alas, who can say for sure? I didn't have any back then, but I got pregnant not long after I married him."
Li Qingxia's face was full of happy smiles.
She has been following Hu Jinghui for nine years.
Two years before she was assigned to marry the Turkic Jili Khan, she and Hu Jinghui were already husband and wife.
The two of them didn't spend much time together in recent years, but Hu Jinghui always had a special affection for her and no other woman.
She felt a little regretful about this, after all, she did not give birth to a son or daughter for Hu Jinghui.
Now.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Several people entered the main hall, and the servants brewed tea and brought it to the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Ma, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
"Cousin, you are becoming more and more polite to me." Li Cunxi took the teacup and took a sip.
"Yes, Qingxia, you were not so polite when we were together." Xiao Mei also picked up a glass and took a sip.
Li Qingxia smiled calmly: "It's different now than it was back then. I can call you whatever I want in private, but if there are other people around, I can't be too presumptuous."
"Now that you're pregnant, you're becoming more and more worried. More than two months ago, we were still drinking together."
Li Cunxi put down the teacup and turned to Ma Rong behind him.
"You should sit down too. Don't be too tired, Ma Rong."
Ma Rong lowered his eyebrows: "I dare not."
"You weren't like this when you were my retainer."
Li Cunxi pointed to a chair diagonally opposite.
"sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come to think of it..." Li Qingxia looked at Ma Rong, "General Ma, it seems he's not married yet?"
Ma Rong blushed and whispered, "No, no, no."
He is now thirty-five years old, the same age as Hu Jinghui was when he met Li Cunxi.
At this age, most people have children.
Even at the age of 35, Wu Chengsi already had a grandson.
And he doesn't even have a lover.
"Oh, I was only busy conferring upon you the title of Grand General."
Li Cunxi was surprised for a moment: "I forgot you are not married yet."
"Tell me, which girl do you like? I will grant you a marriage."
Ma Rong's face became redder and redder.
He does have someone he likes and who has a good relationship with Li Cunxi.
He even knew the other person's brother for several years...
"Your Majesty, this..." He coughed dryly and couldn't say anything.
"Just tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you!"
"Um, Doctor Lu's sister... uh... she seems to be quite old, um..."
"So you're attracted to Dayou's sister." Li Cunxi chuckled.
Lu Dayou's younger sister Lu Xiaofeng.
She looks pretty good.
Of course, most people have no impression of this girl's appearance.
Because she only appeared once in the first part, and she called Lu Dayou and said that Jili Khan had woken up.
This girl who was nearly 30 years old was actually played by Xiaotao, the later King of Black. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng's face was the same as that of Xiaotao, the King of Black.
It was also for this reason that when the Black King Xiao Tao appeared in the ancient castle in the deserted mountains during the Liangzhou case, Lu Dayou was extremely shocked.
He even thought it was his own sister who came!
Ma Rong is handsome and masculine, and he is paired with the cute and adorable Lu Xiaofeng...
It feels a bit inconsistent.
There's a huge difference in height between the two.
Ma Rong is 1.9 meters tall, and Lu Xiaofeng is only 1.6 meters tall.
"Um, Your Majesty... You just said that you would make the decision for me..."
"This is not a good decision. Why don't you wait until Lu Dayou comes back and then talk to him slowly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Rong lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed.
The war in the north has been going on for a long time. From the death of Khitan Li Jinzhong to the present, the north has been on guard against sudden attacks from the Turks.
This time it is not like usual, where we only fight a defensive war. This time it is a real war to destroy the country.
Whoever loses will have his country destroyed.
Before the war is completely over, it is undoubtedly a fantasy for Lu Dayou to want to come back.
……
In Chongzhou, Lu Dayi sneezed more than a dozen times in a row.
He wrapped himself tightly in a thick cotton coat, his expression somewhat ferocious.
"Damn it! Why is the weather so brutal? Fighting a war of annihilation in winter? Helu, that idiot, deserves to die!"
The good-tempered Lu Dayou completely fell into madness.
In the northern cities, winter is much colder than in the Central Plains and the south. Even wearing two cotton coats, he could not resist the invasion of the cold.
"The weather is only going to get worse. If this war doesn't end soon, it won't be a good thing for anyone."
Wang Xiaojie sat by the fire pit, rubbing his hands constantly.
Fighting a war in the snow and ice would surely make the generals and soldiers under his command uneasy.
Therefore, we must not delay any further.
Tomorrow’s decisive battle is most appropriate!
Zheng Xi, deputy general of the Left Leopard Guard, and Zhou Tao, deputy general of the Right Leopard Guard, stood up and said goodbye to Wang Xiaojie.
They needed to return to the military camp fifty miles away as soon as possible and then gather the soldiers to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow.
Su Honghui was about to leave, so the three of them quietly left with their guards.
Wang Xiaojie and Dalha saw everyone off and began to look forward to tomorrow's battle.
