By the time Xie Yan had generally handled the affairs in Qingzhou, it was already the end of July when the group returned to Shangyong. As soon as they entered the imperial city, Xie Yan was invited into the palace by a large group of courtiers who had been waiting for a long time. After all, the regent
I am not in the court these days, and I don’t know how many official matters have accumulated inside and outside the court that need to be dealt with.
In addition, follow-up matters such as the national mourning of the Empress Dowager, the Qingzhou rebellion, and Gaoyu's invasion all urgently required Xie Yan's personal decision-making.
Luo Junyao could already see that for some time in the future, Xie Yan would be so busy that he would be busy day and night.
She didn't want to go through all the trouble with him. Luo Junyao decisively said goodbye to Xie Yan outside the city, and returned to the city with Qin Yao'er and others.
"Daddy!"
As soon as he stepped into Luo's house, he saw Luo Yun walking out quickly. Luo Junyao's eyes widened in surprise.
After reacting, he immediately ran towards Luo Yun quickly, "Dad, I'm back!"
Luo Yun looked at his daughter carefully, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's good to be back, but she may be injured."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Of course not. Look, I'm fine. Why is daddy at home today?" She thought that daddy should be in the palace now, discussing state affairs with Xie Yan.
Luo Yun looked at her and said, "Your father is a military general. Important matters in the court are handled by the civil servants. There is no need for your father."
Of course this is not the case. Although Luo Yun is a military commander, he still needs to take charge of many things while Xie Yan is away from the capital.
Luo Junyao naturally knew that his father wanted to see him as soon as possible, so he waited at home specially.
"I miss you so much," Luo Junyao said, holding Luo Yun's arm.
Luo Yun glanced at her and said, "I miss you that daddy is still running around."
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and said, "After I go out, I know more about the benefits of my family, and I miss my dad even more."
Luo Yun looked at the daughter in front of him helplessly, sighed softly and said: "Father knows what you have done. As expected of me, Luo Yun's daughter, she is more successful than your eldest and second brother!"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Dad, if you talk like this, the eldest and second brothers will cry if they find out."
The eldest son, Luo, was in his twenties when he was in charge of the second state of Huaining. The second son, Luo, also had great military exploits. They were all rare young talents.
Compared with them, she is really nothing.
It can only be said that General Luo is too partial.
Luo Yun snorted and said, "Seeing how hard my sister is working through the wind and rain, they should be so ashamed that they should cry."
"..." Otherwise I'd better not say it.
"Shake!" Su and Luo Mingxiang walked out quickly, obviously they had just received the news and came out in a hurry.
"Mother, big sister!" Luo Junyao smiled and suddenly looked at Luo Mingxiang with wide eyes, "big sister, you! You..."
After leaving Shangyong, Luo Mingxiang's round belly had become flat, obviously the child had been born.
Looking at Luo Mingxiang's rosy complexion, it can be seen that he has taken good care of himself these days and should not have suffered much.
"Sister, where's the baby?"
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "It's only less than a month old, and it can't see the wind yet."
Luo Junyao felt a little regretful, "I didn't see the baby being born. Is it a girl or a boy? No, it's not even a month old yet. Why did the big sister come out?"
Although Luo Junyao personally does not believe in many of the rules of confinement, the medical treatment in this era is far less advanced and mature than modern times, and the eldest sister is a lady and her body is not as good as that of a martial artist. He should listen more to the experiences of doctors and elders.
That's also true.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said, "It's a boy. I'll take you to see him later. The doctor said I can go out for a walk. I'm not afraid of freezing in this weather now."
Luo Junyao nodded, "That's right, the weather these days is hot. Congratulations to my eldest sister, congratulations to my mother and father. With the baby, everyone has been promoted a generation."
Mrs. Su couldn't help but shook her head and said with a smile: "You, you must have been very tired all the way back just now. I'll have people get ready. Go wash up and have a good rest first. When you have rested, we can talk again."
Luo Yun finally came to his senses, "Madam is right, go and rest for a while. When you are well rested, Daddy will talk to you again."
"Okay." Luo Junyao nodded obediently, "Sister, wait until I wash off all the dust before I go see my little nephew."
Luo Mingxiang covered his lips and smiled and said: "Okay, go quickly. Your little nephew is sleeping. I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up."
Luo Junyao got familiar with it and rested for a while before getting up and going out.
As soon as they went out, they saw Ling Lan and the other girls waiting at the door. Seeing Luo Jun come out, the girls couldn't help but blush.
"This slave has met the princess!"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Ling Lan smiled and said: "Miss Yao'er and Master Xiying came back to the house and said that the princess had come to the Luo family first, so the servants hurried over to serve the princess."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "There's no need to go to such trouble. It's not like there's no one in the Luo family. I'll go back later."
Lan Yin said: "The princess went out like this for the first time. The servants were very worried and wished they could see the princess early."
Ling Lan also said: "That's right, it's fine if the princess goes out without Lan Yin and the others, but why doesn't she even take her slaves with her?"
"The situation is special this time. Next time I go out to play, I will definitely take you with me."
After appeasing several girls, Luo Junyao went out to Luo Mingxiang's yard.
After all, Luo Yun was preoccupied with many things, so he stayed at home to see his daughter, and then went to the palace to discuss matters.
Nowadays, Luo Mingxiang still lives in the yard where she was before she got married. As soon as the group of people walked to the door, the girl guarding the door came to greet her and led her in.
"Princess, please come in. The young master has just woken up, and the eldest lady is coaxing him." The girl smiled and said, "Madam has gone to arrange a family dinner. The general said that the prince will also come to our house tonight, so that the whole family can get together."
Luo Jun shook his head and heard the cry of a little baby coming from inside the courtyard.
"Why is the baby crying?"
Luo Mingxiang was walking back and forth in the room with his child in his arms, when he saw Luo Jun come in and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just woke up, it was a bit noisy."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Junyao came over and saw that the little baby, who was less than a month old, had been raised to be white and fat.
Wrapped in light blue swaddling clothes, the exposed little arms are even more smooth and soft, making people want to squeeze them.
Luo Junyao carefully pinched the little baby's hand and said, "Baby, look at me."
The baby, who was less than a month old, had very weak eyesight, so it was natural that he could not clearly see Luo Junyao's appearance. But he could feel that someone was in front of him, and the baby who was still crying suddenly stopped for some reason.
He just opened his big, watery, clear eyes and looked in the direction in front of him.
Luo Mingxiang laughed when he saw this and said: "It seems that he likes to be shaken very much. He stopped crying as soon as you came."
Luo Junyao said happily: "I also think the baby likes me, big sister, what is the baby's name?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "My father named me Yun Rui, and my nickname is Taotao."
"Naughty Tao"
Luo Mingxiang nodded and said, "Yes, he is such a naughty boy." Luo Mingxiang was embarrassed to tell his sister that the peach was originally a peach.
For some reason, she loved eating peaches just before the baby was born. But her mother was afraid that eating too much would be bad for the child, so she always tried to prevent her from eating them. She said, "This child likes eating peaches so much."
, my nickname will be Taotao from now on."
It was just that she was born a boy, and her mother felt that Taotao was not a good name for a boy, so she changed it to Naughty Tao.
"Taotao, I'm your aunt. Look at me, look at me." Luo Junyao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the little doll.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said, "He can't see you clearly yet."
"Little babies grow up very fast, and they will be ready to be born in a few months."
"That's true." Luo Mingxiang agreed, "It's just the time since I was born, and it looks the same every day."
The little baby stopped crying and immediately became well-behaved. She lay quietly in her mother's arms, which made her feel even more adorable.
Luo Mingxiang looked at Luo Junyao, who was surrounding the little baby, and said: "I like children so much that I have waited until the Empress Dowager's filial piety period, so I should have one earlier."
Luo Junyao blinked, "Well...it's still early for me. I'll talk about it in a few years."
Luo Mingxiang nodded her eyebrows and said: "You are still young, but the regent is not young."
Luo Junyao said: "He's not in a hurry either."
Luo Mingxiang shook his head helplessly, but he was a little envious of the girl in front of him.
The regent was indeed very kind to her, and he was not willing to force her even when it came to matters related to the heir.
The newly born baby did nothing but eat and sleep, and soon fell asleep in Luo Mingxiang's arms.
Luo Mingxiang personally carried the child into the inner room and put it on the small crib on the bed. He also asked the wet nurse to take good care of the baby, and then he took Luo Junyao back to the flower hall and sat down.
"How are you doing, big sister, these days?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "You can tell by looking at me like this that everything is fine. But you ran out without saying a word, but you know how worried your father is about you."
Luo Junyao decisively admitted her mistake, "Sister, I was wrong."
Luo Mingxiang sighed softly, stretched out his hand to pinch her little face and said: "Sister, I know that shaking is very powerful. I have also heard my father say some of the things you do, but no matter what you do, you must take more care of yourself.
Don’t let your family worry.”
"Yeah." Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, big sister, I will definitely pay attention to safety."
"That's good." Luo Mingxiang said.
"Sister, Uncle Chun'an's Mansion... No, the Xu family should know that you have given birth to a child, right? They didn't come to the door," Luo Junyao asked softly.
Luo Mingxiang said: "Don't worry, they don't dare to trouble me. They just sent some things to Luo's house a few days ago, saying they wanted to see the child. The mother didn't agree, so they went back without saying anything."
"That's good."
Luo Mingxiang said calmly: "Now that the Xu family is no longer in the capital, and the Xu family only has one son, Xu Zhaolin, they will not have the idea of having a child. Even if they really have any ideas, they must have the courage to do so."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Eldest sister is right."
She was actually a little worried that the Xu family would use their children to make their eldest sister soft-hearted. Now that Xu Zhaolin and Mrs. Xu were still in prison, maybe the Xu family would think that having a child would allow their eldest sister to release them for the sake of their children.
.
"Don't worry about me, I know what's going on."
Luo Mingxiang said, "Since we are no longer with the Xu family, we are no longer together. Taotao is my only child and has nothing to do with the Xu family."
"Stop talking about this, let's talk about what happened outside these days."
Luo Junyao said: "Sister, you really want to listen."
Luo Mingxiang said: "If you can say it, I will naturally listen. It also lets me know what big things Yao Yao has done and what it's like outside."
Luo Junyao also picked up the things he could tell and told them to Luo Mingxiang. Luo Mingxiang had never left Shangyong, so he naturally listened with great interest.
Luo Junyao's past few months have been really exciting, and they sound even more exciting than the story told by the storyteller in the teahouse.
Luo Mingxiang was shocked after hearing this, and instantly forgot the faint feeling of depression when he thought of Xu Zhaolin.
"By the way, eldest sister, has Marquis Yueyang come back?"
They left Yanzhou in a hurry, but Jiang Guanmu had to pack up his belongings and make clear handovers to his successor before he could return to Beijing.
Luo Junyao also forgot about the hall along the way. Calculating the time, they should arrive in the capital.
"Marquis Yueyang" Luo Mingxiang was startled, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I haven't heard anyone mention it. During this period of time, I was raised at home and I didn't know much about the outside world. Ask someone to come in and ask."
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and called Ling Lan and Lan Yin in.
During this time, Luo Junyao was not around, so the two girls were very well-informed.
"Back to Princess, Marquis Yueyang hasn't come back yet." Lan Yin said, "But from what Young Master Jiang said, it seems he is coming back."
Luo Jun shook his head. It seemed that Jiang Guanmu was still one step behind them and had not yet reached Shangyong.
"Shao Yao, what's wrong with Marquis Yueyang?" Luo Mingxiang noticed it keenly and asked softly.
Luo Junyao sighed softly, waved his hand to dismiss Lan Yin and the other two, and then told Luo Mingxiang in a low voice what happened to Jiang Guanmu.
"I sent someone to send a message to Mrs. Yueyang Hou before, but I don't know how she will deal with this situation." Luo Junyao said, "Sister, please keep it a secret and don't tell others."
Luo Mingxiang said: "Don't worry, I heard that Marquis Yueyang is also a capable person, but I didn't expect that..."
Luo Mingxiang's own marriage was unfortunate, but she did not expect other women to be like her because of this.
Thinking that Mrs. Yueyanghou had supported the Yueyanghou Mansion for so many years, but ended up with this result, Luo Mingxiang secretly felt that she was not worth it.
I couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that I got away early.
If she didn't know the truth until ten or eight years later, she would probably be so angry that she wanted to vomit blood and want to kill Xu Zhaolin with her own hands!
The two sisters sat and chatted, watching the sky gradually darken, before the servant came to report that the general and the prince were back.
The two of them got up and walked outside the courtyard.
As soon as they walked out of Luo Mingxiang's yard, they saw Xie Yan strolling towards them from a short distance away.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face, called Ayan, and walked up to meet him with brisk steps.
Luo Mingxiang followed behind and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her happily throwing herself into Xie Yan's arms.
Seeing the regent's appearance, it makes people feel that not all men in this world are so bad.
They shouldn't lose confidence in their life and future just because of a man, right?
