While all parties were busy making plans, Liu Deng quietly returned to Jinyang City.
"Your Majesty!"
When Liu Deng was feeling drowsy, Shunzi suddenly whispered outside the car window.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Deng rubbed his sleepy eyes and then opened the car curtain.
"Lord Feng, led by hundreds of officials, is waiting for the king at the gate of the city!"
Liu Deng originally planned to enter the city quietly, but he didn't expect that Feng Jing's information was so well-informed.
"Everyone is very tired. What are you doing all this for?"
After returning from the battlefield, Liu Deng has been unable to get excited.
"this……"
Shunzi didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, the princes from this side went on an expedition for the country, and it was customary for hundreds of officials to greet them when they came back.
"Welcome to you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty went out to fight for the country, and your hard work has paid off!"
As soon as Liu Deng got off the carriage, Feng Jing had already led hundreds of officials to greet him.
"Okay, everyone, get up! I am on an expedition, and you are working hard at home, and your hard work is also fruitful, so there is no need to engage in such nonsense! I am indeed a little tired today. I will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow night. None of you are allowed to run away, I will remember you!"
After what happened with Tao Qing, those lucky people who came up through flattery were all stepped into the mud by Liu Deng.
In addition, Feng Jing himself had a talent for governing the country. After he took office, the official atmosphere of Dai country changed again.
Basically, many of the people present today are old acquaintances of Liu Deng.
Although these people are not good at talking, they are good at doing practical things.
When Liu Deng spoke to them, he naturally didn't make so many twists and turns.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although these words are vulgar, they sound very heart-warming.
Everyone also understood that this was Liu Deng's goodwill intention, but there was no excessive delay.
On the contrary, Feng Jing felt a little regretful. He had finally prepared so many shows, but now he had no chance to perform.
"Master Prime Minister, this kind of false courtesy should be reserved for the time when the meritorious soldiers enter the city. Let everyone go back first!"
"promise!"
This made Feng Jing slightly embarrassed, but seeing the tired look on Liu Deng's face, Feng Jing didn't say anything more.
"I have just returned from the battlefield, so I am a little tired. I will ask you to have a few more drinks tomorrow night!"
No matter what, this was the Prime Minister after all, so Liu Deng stepped forward and patted Feng Jing on the shoulder before turning around and returning to his carriage.
Although the officials dispersed, there was still an endless stream of people watching the excitement along the way.
"Long live the king!"
"Long live the king!"
"Long live the big man!"
…
News of victory is always the best tool to inspire people.
The voices of these common people may be the best comfort for Liu Deng. At least, everything he does is meaningful!
Returning to the palace after a long absence, Liu Deng suddenly felt like he was in another world.
Only by walking on the battlefield can one feel the preciousness of peace.
At least, that’s what Liu Deng thinks!
"Your Majesty!"
After being away for more than two months, Dou Muyao's belly had begun to show her pregnancy.
When he saw her bulging belly, Liu Deng's heart immediately warmed up.
"What are you doing out here? Can't you just lie down at home?"
Before Liu Deng could say anything, Liu Deng's mother had given up. She was about to give birth soon.
What if there is a bump or something? What will happen then?
"I am okay......"
Dou Muyao said with a blushing face as she looked at the servants who were facing formidable enemies.
After not seeing Liu Deng for several months, she naturally felt uneasy. After finally hearing that Liu Deng was back, how could she sit still.
"It's okay if it's okay. Go back and lie down quickly!"
On this point, Liu Deng and his mother had very unified opinions.
Although he also wanted to have a child of his own, he knew better than anyone else that in this day and age, giving birth to a child was simply going through hell.
And, at this point, no matter how much money you have, it's basically useless.
"Then I'll go back..."
Dou Muyao curled her lips as she spoke and almost shed tears.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Liu Deng felt funny for a while.
However, after the fun, there was a burst of sadness.
When it comes to relationships, from the perspective of future generations, he is a complete playboy.
If his story were posted on the Internet, he would probably be criticized by those keyboard warriors.
After sending Dou Muyao away, Liu Deng had a conversation with his mother before returning to his palace.
Under Liu Ruyan's command, a palace maid had already prepared bath water, and he soaked in the warm water. Only then did Liu Deng feel that he had relaxed.
"Your Majesty, let me rub your back!"
Liu Ruyan, wearing only a layer of gauze and holding a loofah in her hand, quietly came up behind Liu Deng.
After staying in the military camp for so long, coupled with the pressure that one decision could affect the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, Liu Deng's spirit naturally became extremely tense.
Feeling the touch from that weak, boneless hand, Liu Deng's breathing began to become a little heavy.
Liu Ruyan also felt the fiery look in Liu Deng's eyes. The two were originally a young couple, but now they were naturally at odds with each other.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t taken a shower for several months, but the bathing time is really a bit long.
Anyway, by the time Liu Deng came out of the bedroom, Liu Ruyan, who was rubbing his back, was so tired that he collapsed on the couch and couldn't move.
Liu Deng took a bath, and his spirits immediately improved a lot.
After changing his clothes, he went directly to Dou Muyao's residence.
"Ancestor! Can't you be more honest?"
As soon as Liu Deng entered the door, he saw Dou Muyao doing embroidery with a stretcher inlaid with gold and jade.
Liu Deng quickly took it from her hand, and then directly helped her lie down.
"Isn't this also possible?"
Dou Muyao almost burst into tears.
Since returning to Jinyang, she has really had nothing to do every day, and she is almost going crazy with boredom.
"Isn't it a special period for you now? Just lie down and wait until the confinement period is over. Then you can do whatever you want!"
Liu Deng patted her forehead angrily.
"But, lying here every day is really boring!"
Dou Muyao was really aggrieved to the extreme. It was really uncomfortable to lie down on the bed after eating every day.
"It's only a few days anyway. I'll stay with you, okay?"
While Liu Deng was talking, he took off her shoes.
"My feet are swollen!"
Liu Deng felt a little distressed and stretched out his hand to knead her gently.
"I've already checked with the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said it's inevitable..."
