Chapter 356 Unable to resist
Regent Zhao Defang rode on a horse covered in dark clouds and snow, escorting the little emperor on the jade sedan beside him into the city gate and all the way to the palace.
The civil and military officials in the Daqing Hall were beaming with joy, and they generously praised His Royal Highness the Regent and the generals who had made extraordinary achievements. Even the Xixia King Li Yuanhao, a surrendered general, was praised by the officials.
The issue of rewards and honors will be discussed another day. Without the participation of His Royal Highness the Regent, the young emperor and the court officials will not take the initiative to discuss this issue.
Regent Zhao Defang was anxious to go home, so he perfunctorily accompanied the emperor and the civil and military officials to celebrate the victory. He did not even attend the celebratory banquet, and then said goodbye to the emperor and went home.
The Regent's Palace was decorated with lights and lanterns, and the servants in the palace walked briskly, with happy expressions on everyone's faces. Butler Zhao did not restrain them these days, and even he, a mature and prudent butler, could not help wanting to jump up and down and have fun, let alone these young people.
As servants of the Regent's Palace, if they were recognized on the street, the nobles and officials would show them respect and courtesy. The ordinary people would give them the greatest respect and honor. Every servant, maid, and maidservant would be extremely proud to be a member of the Regent's Palace.
Fortunately, although the princess was extremely lenient and easygoing towards her servants, she would never allow anyone in the Regent Prince's Palace to bully the people or damage the reputation of the palace. The Empress Dowager who lived in the palace also repeatedly ordered that anyone who dared to do anything to damage the reputation of the palace would be severely punished.
A woman who was in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of the palace protected her nephew from her mother's family who was competing with others for business, and used the name of the Regent Palace to intimidate the other party. When the Empress Dowager found out, she was beaten with twenty sticks and expelled from the palace.
Therefore, although the servants of the Prince Regent's Palace were proud and arrogant in their hearts, they behaved in a disciplined manner when they walked around outside. After all, if you want to have the opportunity to be a servant in the Prince Regent's Palace, you need to have accumulated luck for several lifetimes when you were reincarnated.
Luo Li has been feeling a little unwell these days. After accidentally falling, she had a miscarriage. She has been under the close watch of the Empress Dowager and Madam Luo and has been forced to stay in bed and rest.
The maids who were sent out to watch the triumphant army entering the city came back one after another and reported the unprecedented scene to the princess lying on the bed, the Empress Dowager and Madam Luo sitting beside her.
Yingxue ran in joyfully and bowed hastily. "Grand Empress Dowager, Princess, Madam Luo, the prince has left the palace and is on his way back to the palace!"
Luo Li sat up suddenly and said, "I knew Zhao Defang would not stay in the palace for the celebration banquet tonight. Look, he is in a hurry to go home before it gets dark."
The Empress Dowager and Madam Luo, who were sitting by the bed watching her, hurriedly and carefully pushed her down on the bed.
"Li'er, don't move!" Madam Luo was so anxious that her tone was unusually heavy.
"Li'er, be good! Listen to me and take good care of your baby. Zhao Defang will be in front of you soon. Don't get upset anymore. Just lie in bed and wait for him. Okay?" Knowing her silly daughter-in-law's bad temper and her inability to respond to soft words, the Empress Dowager used her tactics very skillfully.
Luo Li gave a helpless smile. Ever since she accidentally fell and had a miscarriage, she had become the object of strict protection and supervision by her mother.
It has been more than half a month. Not only was she forced to drink several doses of pregnancy-preserving medicine, but she was not even allowed to get out of bed. The mother who doted on her daughter changed her tactics and used coercive commands. The Empress Dowager, on the other hand, coaxed her with soft words like a plea every day. The two tactics were used in turn. Luo Li could only raise her hands and surrender and obey.
Seeing her daughter-in-law lying down obediently, the Grand Empress Dowager smiled with curved eyebrows. She picked up the orange beside her and peeled it with her own hands. She pinched a slice and handed it to her daughter-in-law, "Li'er, be good. Eat another slice of orange. It's sweet and sour and delicious."
Luo Li obediently opened her mouth, took the orange slices in her mouth, and put them in her mouth. While she was chewing and hadn't swallowed them, a peeled lychee was handed to her mouth. Her mother, Madam Luo, spoke in a forced and stern tone, "Li'er, open your mouth and eat this lychee!"
Luo Li quickly swallowed the orange slices, opened her mouth and bit the lychee again, hoping that today's feeding would end soon.
Seeing Tingting smiling and walking in with a plate of freshly baked sesame cakes, Luo Li spat out the lychee seeds in her mouth and wailed, "Oh! ... Mother, mother, I really don't want to eat anymore!"
Madam Luo quickly reached out to catch the lychee kernel, and her tense face couldn't help but break. She laughed, "Li'er, isn't laziness a good quality of yours? You've always liked to be lazy and not work, and eat delicious snacks. Now you're lying in bed, eating all kinds of delicious snacks. Isn't that the perfect fulfillment of your dream? Why are you still in a bad mood?"
"Mom, I like to be lazy and not work, I like to eat all kinds of delicious snacks, and I also like to play freely everywhere!" Luo Li couldn't help but protested.
"Li'er! What's wrong with you?" An anxious, worried, nervous and distressed voice came in, and Zhao Defang's figure instantly appeared beside the bed.
Regent Zhao Defang returned to the palace full of anticipation and longing, but found that the person he cared about most was missing from the crowd waiting to greet him at the door.
After asking the housekeeper on horseback, he learned that the princess accidentally fell half a month ago and had a miscarriage, so she had to stay in bed to recuperate. He ignored the group of people kneeling on the ground to greet her, and used his Qinggong to fly over the wall of the palace and headed straight for Ningxin Garden.
The person she had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of her. Luo Li's nose was sore and tears flashed instantly. She said aggrievedly: "Zhao Defang, if you don't come back, I will be raised into a lazy and fat sow by my mother!"
Seeing that his beloved wife was fine and was still joking around in a coquettish and cute manner, Zhao Defang felt relieved.
He hurriedly bowed to his mother and mother-in-law. "Mother, mother-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
The Empress Dowager and Madam Luo, who were startled by Zhao Defang's sudden appearance, stood up from the bed.
"My son, how can you suddenly appear at home by performing light skills? It's okay if you scared us, but if you scare Li'er and the baby in her belly, you will regret it!" The Empress Dowager pulled Madam Luo out while scolding her son.
Madam Luo was still worried and turned back to warn, "Your Highness, Li'er is having a miscarriage and needs to stay in bed to rest. You can't be with her..." She swallowed the rest of the words.
Zhao Defang bowed awkwardly to the two elders, and Luo Li laughed so hard that she held her stomach and almost rolled over.
The maids serving in the room were also very tactful and knelt down, bowed to the prince, and took their leave.
Zhao Defang sat by the bed and gently scratched the tip of his wife's nose lovingly. "You naughty girl! Stop laughing. Both elders are pissed off and run away."
Luo Li squinted her eyes mischievously and said teasingly, "Zhao Defang, what does my mother want to tell you?"
Zhao Defang gently held his naughty wife's hand and replied angrily, "Didn't you just ask me to endure the pain of missing you and not have sex with you, so as not to cause miscarriage?"
Luo Li smiled and seduced, "Kissing is still okay."
Zhao Defang's heart fluttered, looking at those tempting red lips, he lowered his head and kissed them softly...
:"father!……"
Zhao Wubing, who was waiting at the door with everyone to welcome his father, saw that his heroic father ignored him and used his lightness skills to leap into the mansion, so he hurriedly ran after him.
Yingchun, the maid who was trying to stop him at the door with her arms outstretched and a smile on her face, quickly slipped under the arm of him, panting, with sweat still hanging on her flushed little face, and stepped into the room.
His Royal Highness the Regent, who had just touched his wife's alluring lips and gently sucked them, quickly withdrew his lips, sat up straight, and looked back awkwardly at his beloved son's dark eyes, "Lin'er, your mother...she...she has a toothache in her mouth, daddy will blow it for her."
