Seeing Mrs. Liu suddenly frowning and looking like he was hesitating to speak, Li Yuan quickly stopped laughing, stood up and raised his hands in concern.
After all, they are mother and son who have been together for more than 20 years. Although they are not related by blood, they can guess each other's thoughts easily. Li Yuan naturally recognizes Liu's expression. This adoptive mother, who has always been resolute, will only show it when she is worried about her relatives. He hesitated, so he said directly: "Mom, are you worried about Jiang Sheng? Don't worry, he is fine and unscathed! He is also on the way back to the city now, but he is leading the army and walking a little slower... ....”
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu naturally relaxed her brows a little, but her hands were still tightly twirling the sandalwood beads. She nodded and said softly: "Brother Yuan is promising now. Jiang Sheng is with you, so of course Mom is not worried." Yes! It’s just that those who are fighting outside and wielding swords must be more careful——"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu stood up slowly, but it seemed that she was struggling. Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, frowning and asked: "Mom, what's wrong with your body? I saw you can't walk just now." Are you okay?" Then he glanced around at the surrounding maids with a gloomy face, and they were so shocked that their faces turned pale, and they repeatedly apologized.
From the hesitant words of several maids, he learned that after Mr. Liu accidentally fell in the courtyard a few days ago, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel angry. Just when he was about to reprimand him, he saw Emperor Zhou E standing up with gritted teeth, his eyes misty, and went up. He lowered his head and muttered: "Mr. Sir, it's my fault! That day, my mother said she wanted to go out for a walk and look at the flowers and plants, but the soil had just been loosened around the flower garden, and before the maid reported it, my mother had already walked to a slippery place. I accidentally...
Although I have punished those ignorant maidservants in time, the husband handed over this house to me. It is still my fault in discipline, so I still ask the husband to punish me! ..."
Li Yuan probably understood what he heard. He leaned down and touched it lightly. He immediately felt a hard lump on Liu's calf. He suddenly felt distressed and yelled: "What's the use of punishment? Look, it's all swollen like this." You look like this, how could you be so careless?! Even if the maid didn’t report it, was there no one around to help me at that time? Did you ask a medical officer to come?”
Mrs. Liu gently patted Li Yuan's shoulder and motioned him to stand up. She endured the pain and forced a smile: "Don't be impatient! The medical officer has been here a long time ago. My mother is not seriously ill, but she is so sore." The swelling will continue for a few days...Brother Yuan, don't blame Emperor E. She also fell badly in order to help me! That day, my mother didn't want the maid to follow her, and she walked too far If you are in a hurry, you may accidentally step on your feet. You should know that my mother’s legs and feet are always nimble..."
After saying that, he waved to Emperor Zhou E with a kind face: "Ehuang, don't cry! Brother Yuan just came back from a big victory. If you cry, your husband will think that I am bullying you! Haha, you are now All the precious little ones in the house, I still hope to have a grandson in my arms as soon as possible! Don’t worry, mother is here, if Brother Yuan dares to punish you, mother will not let him go..."
Mrs. Liu always spoke considerately, and Emperor Zhou E felt warm in his heart. He wiped away his tears and smiled. Li Yuan heard that Emperor Zhou E had also fallen and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu thought that Li Yuan was really going to punish his wife, but instead He held Emperor Zhou E tightly in his arms and began to talk to himself.
Li Yuan was speechless for a moment and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Of course he didn't believe that the kind-hearted Emperor Zhou E did this on purpose. He was really impatient just now, so he spoke more harshly. He wanted to explain again, but he saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of him. As soon as they helped each other, they looked so harmonious and beautiful, so they gave up the idea, shrugged and smiled helplessly.
The topic was quickly turned over by Mrs. Liu jokingly and happily from time to time, and the harmonious atmosphere in the hall naturally returned. Wang Jingyao, who was having a lively conversation with Peng Qingying, had stopped making noise, and the two girls just talked quietly together. Watching.
On the day Mrs. Liu fell down, Wang Jingyao was playing with flowers and plants in the courtyard. Naturally, she was there to witness everything. What Zhou Ehuang said was true. But Wang Jingyao remained silent from the beginning to the end, unwilling to say a word for anyone. In the end, it was not her turn to speak. Emperor Zhou E was the mistress of the house. If she accidentally said something misleading, On the contrary, you will be asking for trouble.
Since she was ready to officially enter the house, Wang Jingyao has often thought carefully about her future situation, and finally came to one conclusion. If she wants to live a stable life as a concubine, she must not make trouble for herself and turn a blind eye. , talking less and doing more is the wisest choice.
Not long after, the sound of guards coming from far and near came from outside the hall door. Soon, a guard was seen on the steps walking to the door, and he leaned down to stand by. There is a rule in the Jiedu Envoy Office. If there is no urgent military situation, even the personal guards are not allowed to enter the backyard foyer at will. After all, they are all relatives of the commander, and it is always inconvenient for most of them to be female.
Today, the rules were clearly broken. Li Yuan was naturally confused and hurriedly walked to the door. However, when he saw the person coming, he also looked trembling. He was obviously worried about breaking in so rashly, so he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "What's the important thing to report? You unexpectedly broke into my commander's backyard?"
The guard breathed rapidly and did not dare to raise his head. He just cupped his hands and replied: "Commander! Xu Changshi is here and said that he has an urgent need to see the commander! He is waiting in the front yard at this time! Without the command of the commander, the villain will naturally Xu Changshi cannot be allowed to enter, but he is really pressing, so the villain has no choice but to break into the backyard for violating the rules, and ask the commander to punish him!"
Li Yuan nodded with a serious face and waved: "Well, you did a good job! Now that the gentleman has come to the backyard, he may have something urgent to report, so please invite him in quickly! I will be waiting in the hall. "
After being praised by the commander, the guard not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you, commander! I obey the order, let's go and invite the commander in!"
Li Yuan turned around and entered the hall. Several sensible maids and servants stood at the door and could clearly hear that there was a visitor. They were quickly clearing away the tables, chairs and benches, and cleaning the floor carefully. Wang Jingyao also took the initiative to make tea and poured a cup of tea for Li Yuan who was sitting on top. Then he gently placed the full pot of newly brewed tea on the eucalyptus and gave a few instructions to the maid.
Just after taking two sips of tea, Li Yuan sighed comfortably and was about to speak when he heard the hurried footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer. He put down the tea cup and straightened his clothes. Everyone in the hall also hurriedly stood up. They also You are not a fool. All the guests are allowed to come to the backyard. Of course, they have important matters to discuss. Even if they don't want to leave, they have to avoid it.
Before leaving, Emperor Zhou E did not forget to whisper softly in Li Yuan's ear: "Mr. Lang, I know you are busy with work, but don't be tired! After handling the important tasks, remember to go back to your room, I am waiting for you... ." Their eyes met and they looked at each other speechlessly. Their chests rose and fell, their eyes surged with affection, and their breathing gradually became faster.
Li Yuan tried his best to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, nodded calmly and said: "Madam, you and your mother should go back to your room and rest! If you have any questions, we can talk to you when I return to my room!"
As an elder, Mrs. Liu is naturally the most observant. She had already stood up and was helped by the maid to the back hall. As the clear sound of the bead curtain lifting was heard from behind the screen, everyone left one after another. Only Peng Qingying, a girl from Dongxi who had lived in the mansion for a month, stood up at the same time after the other girls left. However, despite Wang Jingyao's dissuasion, she still stood there with hesitation, biting her red lips as if she had something to say. Want to say.
