The Emperor of Qi chatted a little more about the common things, and never mentioned letting Luo Fengtang live. It happened that the eunuch came in at this time to report to the Emperor of Qi, saying that the lunch had been prepared in the imperial dining room, and asked the Emperor of Qi for instructions on where to place it.
Emperor Qi cast his gaze on Luo Fengtang, and just as he was about to speak, Luo Fengtang stood up first, clasped his hands in fists and asked Emperor Qi to resign.
Emperor Qi smiled and said: "It's rare for Uncle Zhongyong to come back to the capital once. I would also like to invite Uncle Zhongyong to have lunch with us!"
Luo Fengtang said: "Your Majesty favors you, Fengtang is extremely grateful. It's just that I haven't been home for a long time. This time I heard that my wife came to Beijing with her seven-year-old son,"
"I'm temporarily staying at my brother-in-law's place. I'll tell you the truth. Feng Tang is really eager to return home. He wishes he could grow wings. I hope your majesty will understand."
From the moment I received Yang Ruoqing's letter and was told that Chen'er had been found and that he was definitely their son who had been separated for seven years,
Luo Fengtang couldn't calm down. The most urgent thing was to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and come back to reunite with his wife and children as soon as possible.
Take a good look at the appearance and conduct of your biological son Chen'er now.
Over there, Qi Huang's voice reached his ears again.
"I am a king and the lord of the world, but I am also a father. How can I not understand your mood at this moment, Uncle Zhongyong?" he said.
"Okay, then you go home for now and reunite with your family. In two days, I will call you into the palace to compete with me in chess. Do you have any objections?" Emperor Qi asked again.
Luo Fengtang was overjoyed when he heard that Emperor Qi relented and agreed to let him leave.
He raised his head hurriedly and said: "You don't dare to compete with each other, but I am willing to show my humility to you!"
Emperor Qi laughed, pointed at Luo Fengtang, and said to Qi Xingchen and Qi Xingyun beside him: "Listen, Uncle Zhongyong is always so humble!"
Qi Xingchen and Qi Xingyun also smiled.
Emperor Qi said again: "Uncle Zhongyong, you have made great achievements in pacifying the southwest this time. You are second to none."
"I originally wanted to send you two beauties from the Goryeo Kingdom as tribute in addition to the reward..."
Hearing Emperor Qi's words, Luo Fengtang shook his head subconsciously and was about to refuse without hesitation, but Emperor Qi raised his hand to stop Luo Fengtang.
"But the second brother told me that Uncle Zhongyong is a chivalrous and courageous man, and his wife Yang Ruoqing is also a hero among women. The two of them have a deep love for each other."
"After eight years of marriage, we still respect each other as guests. The Yang family never gave Uncle Zhongyong a concubine. Even though Uncle Zhongyong was away on military expeditions for a long time, he never looked for flowers. He can exercise strict self-discipline when it comes to women."
"So after much thought, I decided that instead of sending two beauties from Korea, it would be better to reward them with a house. Uncle Zhongyong, do you think I am right?"
Emperor Qi asked Luo Fengtang in a slightly teasing tone.
At this moment, Luo Fengtang seemed to be on a roller coaster ride. Qi Huang's first two sentences almost made him break into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Emperor Qi later took the initiative to withdraw his life, and Luo Fengtang was given a false alarm.
He hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, thank you for giving me a house to give me and my family a place to settle down and live in the capital!"
Emperor Qi nodded.
"Uncle Zhongyong, I want to ask you a personal question. This question has nothing to do with the king or ministers. You can answer it or not. But if you answer it, I will tell you from your heart. Is that okay?"
The southwest has won a great victory. Today, several protons from the small southwest country came to Beijing to pay tribute to Emperor Qi.
Emperor Qi was in a good mood. Facing his beloved general, he said this more than he usually said in a day.
Luo Fengtang raised his head and looked at the smile in Emperor Qi's eyes, and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty."
On both sides, Qi Xingchen and Qi Xingyun also raised their ears, expressing curiosity about the question Qi Huang would ask next.
As the host, Emperor Qi took a sip of ginseng water, moistened his throat and said, "Uncle Zhongyong, you are a majestic seven-foot-tall man."
"He scares the enemy on the battlefield. He has a large number of troops and is powerful. He is famous for his rigorous management of the three armies."
"Why haven't you accepted any other beautiful concubines besides your wife Yang Shi Ruoqing for eight years?"
"Even if it is not for the sake of beauty, for the sake of the prosperity of the Luo family, as a man, he should have more concubines and have more children!"
"Tell me the truth, is Mrs. Yang a jealous wife? A fierce wife? Are you henpecked?"
As soon as Emperor Qi finished asking this question, the huge imperial study room instantly fell silent.
The eyes of brothers Qi Xingchen and Qi Xingyun fell on Luo Fengtang at the same time, especially Qi Xingyun, who was indescribably excited.
Qi Xingyun is not very concerned about the question of whether Luo Fengtang is henpecked, but what he is concerned about is what kind of charm that woman Yang Ruoqing has.
It can even be said that it was magic power that made Luo Fengtang guard her body like jade and keep herself clean?
Not to mention Luo Fengtang, but also Qi Xingyun himself. His marriage has been delayed repeatedly over the years. Is it really just because he was too busy with military and state affairs as he said?
Does it really have nothing to do with her?
Once you see Qing'er, you will be misunderstood for life; if you don't see Qing'er, you will be misunderstood for life...
Just when Qi Xingyun felt a hint of melancholy, Luo Fengtang had already started his answer.
"Your Majesty is wise, yes, the humble minister is indeed henpecked!" Luo Fengtang said word for word, his face was calm and his eyes were not evasive.
Not only was there no shame at all, but he straightened his waist and puffed out his chest, as if what was considered a shame in the eyes of other men was an honor for him.
Emperor Qi and the two princes were surprised by Luo Fengtang's too straightforward answer.
Luo Fengtang smiled faintly and continued: "Although Wei Chen is henpecked, Wei Chen must clarify that Wei Chen's wife, Yang Shi Ruoqing, is not a jealous wife, let alone a fierce wife."
"She is the most gentle, virtuous, responsible, kind and filial woman in the world."
"Wei ministers have been in command for a long time and have been away from home for months, sometimes even years."
"My wife Qing'er is responsible for all the elders, young children, and complicated housework in the family."
"Everyone says that the husband is the sky and the wife is the earth, but in our Luo family, it is my wife Qing'er who holds up the sky,"
"If she hadn't taken such good care of the elderly and children in the rear and not let me take any of my care, I wouldn't be able to lead the troops on the front line to fight without distractions and serve the country and the Holy One!"
"I love her because I love her, respect her, admire her, and am grateful to her..."
"So, I am henpecked and I am glorious!"
After hearing Luo Fengtang's words, Qi Xingchen and Qi Xingyun were both stunned. They looked at Luo Fengtang without blinking, still immersed in his words and unable to extricate themselves.
What kind of emotional fusion is this that allows a man to say such words of defense in public?
How outstanding is that woman who can be protected to such an extent by a man?
In the main seat, Emperor Qi also recovered from the shock.
