Seeing Mu Mu dragging his younger sister Zhong Shangguan Qiu Ming and running into the gate of Huamanlou, Li Ye stood outside the door and scratched his head, recalling the night when he came back with Nalan Yu.
The wind and snow were so heavy that I didn't have time to take a closer look at this most expensive restaurant in the Imperial City. It seemed that it was indeed worth the money. It was much more majestic than the flower-filled building with a small bridge and flowing water in the Imperial City.
While he was hesitating, someone walked around him and walked directly into the door in front of the building. Hearing the heavy footsteps, he came back to his senses, but saw that the person who had been able to bypass also turned to look at him, and then Bow and salute.
"I've met the Imperial Master. I'm Youjian's clerk. I'm here to deliver wine to the shopkeeper. He has been waiting for you here." Li Yeyile turned out to be Qiu Ji who was transferred from Youjian Inn in Baiyu City.
Li Ye nodded and said, "Go in first and tell the shopkeeper that I will be here soon."
The man saluted again and walked through the gate.
Today's Huamanlou is quieter than in the past. There should be a lot of guests in front of the building as Shenshi is about to end.
When he walked into the building, he found that there were already many people in the building. Judging from their faces, they should be the Forbidden Army and some of their family members. Some people were smiling, and some had sad faces, obviously depressed.
Li Ye's heart tightened, thinking that tomorrow was the day when the Forbidden Army would gather and go to southern Xinjiang, but today, the families of the Forbidden Army who were going to the front line came to see them off in a building full of flowers.
Most of them were entertaining guests in the pavilion on the first floor. There were also some family members of the imperial guards in the pavilion on the second floor. They must be nobles and royal relatives in the imperial city.
There were maids and servants in the building constantly walking through it, some carrying braziers and some carrying drinks. The busy scene and the bleak scene outside the building were like two different worlds.
No one greeted him or asked why he was standing in the corridor in a daze.
Li Ye just felt that this was an unreal dream, and he stood in the corridor of the hall in silence for a long time before walking inside.
He had to say goodbye to his family members, and the Imperial Guards naturally had to separate from their families as well.
This is a fact that no one can change.
...
"Master Imperial Master, are you waiting for someone here, or are you waiting for me here?"
Just as he was about to ask, the sound of flowers falling and rain sounded behind Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled, turned back to look at her and said with a smile: "Hello, Sister Hua, are my parents here?"
Hua Luoyu stepped forward to give him a blessing and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mo and the Imperial Master's family are here. In the elegant hall on the third floor, my sister is greeting you. They are all waiting for you."
Li Ye was stunned and said with a smile: "We are all here, so early. It seems that I am just having fun... Please lead the way, Sister Hua."
After returning the greeting to Hua Luoyu, the two of them walked up the corridor one after the other.
"I heard that the Imperial Master will go to southern Xinjiang tomorrow?" Hua Luoyu asked as he walked.
"Sister Hua, since we are so familiar, just call me Li Ye, and don't let anyone see you outside." Li Ye looked at her and replied seriously.
He frowned, he was not used to others calling him the Imperial Master. In his heart, the Imperial Master was the proper title for Mr.
When Hua Luoyu heard this, she chuckled and bent over to look back at Li Ye.
He said angrily: "If I really want to call you like that, my sister will probably beat me half to death. She is still angry with me about what happened that day."
Li Ye was stunned and blurted out: "What's the point of being angry? Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, she got angry first. Shouldn't she blame me and Brother Nalan?"
"Sister, how can she dare to blame you? If she wants to blame, it's just because Brother Nalan didn't tell her." Hua Luoyu said with a smile. By this time, the two of them had already walked to a flower hall on the third floor.
Li Ye took a look and saw that it was more than twice the size of the Accord downstairs. He thought that this should be a flower hall dedicated to Hua Tianxia.
Hua Luoyu gently pushed open the carved door of the flower hall and shouted, "Sister, I have invited the Imperial Master here for you."
Li Ye walked into the flower hall and looked up, only to see that his family members were already sitting at the tea table on the edge of the flower hall, making tea and chatting.
The table was piled with various kinds of melon seeds, pastries and fruits, which must have been specially prepared by Hua Tianxia to entertain his younger brothers and sisters.
"We haven't seen each other for more than five years. Your Majesty the Imperial Master is indeed getting older and more handsome!"
Before Li Ye could speak, Hua Tianxia had already come forward, took Li Ye's hand, and reached out to touch his face.
Li Ye was stunned, turned away, and avoided Hua Tianxia's outstretched hand.
He smiled and said, "Sister Hua is getting more and more beautiful. My eldest brother has not been able to eat well and think about you every day." Li Ye broke away from Hua Tianxia and held his hand, then held it in greeting.
Hua Tianxia wasn't angry when he saw him break free, he just lowered his body and bowed slightly to Li Ye.
He said angrily: "The Imperial Master and Nalan rushed back to the imperial city overnight and entered the Huamanlou without even saying hello to me, causing me to be embarrassed in front of everyone."
Li Ye smiled, pointed at Nalan Yu who was leaning against the window and said, "You have to ask my elder brother about this."
Nalan Yu, who was holding Shangguan Qiuming and eating melon seeds by the window, heard this and immediately shouted: "Brother, you can't cheat me like this."
Li Ye smiled at him and said, "Brother, what are you afraid of? I will go to southern Xinjiang with me to go to the battlefield tomorrow. If you have anything to say, talk to Sister Hualou today."
After speaking, he walked to his husband and Li Hongxiu and bowed. He also met his parents and Lin Yueru before sitting down next to Li Xiaoxue.
Nalanyu and Hua Tianxia couldn't help but blush when they heard Li Ye's words.
Still being tactful, Hua Tianxia looked at Li Ye and glared at him, saying angrily: "The national teacher knows how to talk nonsense."
Li Ye chuckled, looked at her and said, "Sister Hua, just call me Li Ye from now on. Only Mr. is worthy of the title National Master. It sounds very awkward to me."
Before Li Ye finished speaking, Li Hongxiu stood up and patted the melon seed crumbs in his hand.
He smiled and said, "Sir, you are no longer a national advisor. You are Ye'er. When we go out tomorrow, five thousand forbidden troops will call you a national advisor. Are you going to repeat these words to them again?"
After saying that, he looked at Hua Tianxia and laughed.
The husband nodded and said with a smile: "What your wife said is good. You have to get used to your current status. Even the emperor and the ministers in the palace are already used to your status. What else are you not used to?"
Li Ye was stunned and had nothing to say.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at his son in a daze and couldn't help but laugh: "It's hard to talk about family reunion today. Let's have a good reunion dinner and have a good conversation. We have traveled far and wide, and we don't know when we will come back."
After saying that, he took out his silk scarf to wipe the tears from his eyes.
Li Ye glanced at him and handed over his handkerchief first.
He consoled her: "Don't worry, mother, this time. There is a connection between southern Xinjiang and the imperial city. If mother misses me, she can ask her husband to go to the palace and send a message to me, and I will send you a message back to the imperial city."
The master comforted him and said, "The child is about to go out, so don't say such sad things."
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while, nodded, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief.
He smiled and said, "It's rare for Hua Louzhu to invite our whole family to reunite. Another day, I'll invite Hua Louzhu to take Luo Yu to sit at his house."
Hua Tianxia glanced at Li Ye thoughtfully, turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu and said with a smile: "Madam, please don't worry, I will definitely come to the Imperial Master's house to disturb you in the future."
Hua Luoyu also said: "After the imperial master leaves, if sister Xiaoxue is bored staying at the house, please send me a message. Sister will take you and brother Qiu Ming out for a walk. There are many interesting places in the imperial city. ."
When Li Xiaoxue, who was eating melon seeds, heard this, she jumped up with joy and shouted: "This is great. My mother always doesn't let my brother Qiu Ming and I leave the house, saying it's unsafe and there are many bad people outside."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned after hearing this and glared at her angrily.
Li Ye hugged her and said, "My mother feels sorry for you. If you are kidnapped by bad guys, what will your mother and father do? What will your brother do? Where do you want me to find my sister?"
"Little brat, wait until your cultivation reaches the realm of elder sister before you think about going out to play!" Mu Mu, who was sitting aside, gave Li Xiaoxue a look of disgust.
Li Xiaoxue was angry, clenched her little fists and said, "Sister Mumu, when Xiaoxue grows up to be as old as you, she will be in such a state!"
Mu Mu smiled, reached out and pinched her little face, and said: "Then you stay at home and practice well with your husband and wife. When my sister comes back, I will have a fight with you to see how much you have grown?"
...
It wasn't until everyone had finished talking that Lin Yueru looked at Li Ye and asked: "Ye'er, you said that troops are being recruited from all over the five regions. Will you mobilize troops from Fengyun City? Will your father-in-law also let the imperial city go to the south? Territory?"
She knew that Li Ye didn't have to go to the battlefield to charge, but her man was a soldier. When a soldier went to the front line, he would naturally be on the front line.
Li Ye was stunned after hearing Lin Yueru's words. He had just entered the palace, so he didn't understand the twists and turns. In desperation, he had no choice but to look at Mr.
The gentleman glanced at the two of them and thought for a moment.
Then he replied calmly: "Of course the palace master has the final say when it comes to mobilizing troops from the five regions. The palace master of the Dongxuan Region is Dongfang Haotian, who is also Li Mingzhu's husband. You know their relationship with me and Ye'er. If that day really comes, we can only let Ye'er take care of him on the front line."
When Lin Yueru heard this, she couldn't help but frown. Even she couldn't trust her man to go to the battlefield.
Li Ye couldn't bear the way he looked at her.
Then he comforted softly: "The reinforcements from the five regions will not be assembled until spring. It is too early to say this now. Even if the general comes to southern Xinjiang by then, I will fight with him to fight against the enemy. I will do my best for every soldier on the front line." To protect.”
In Li Ye's eyes, every Forbidden Army soldier was the son of his parents. He did not want to see the soldiers he brought bleed on the battlefield. He wanted to maximize the military skills taught by his husband and minimize casualties.
None of the people here have been on the battlefield. After all, there has been no war in the five regions for more than 20 years. If you have seen it, I am afraid that you are the only one who has seen it.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere among everyone, the gentleman smiled lightly.
Said: "We didn't initiate this war. Since we can't escape, we can only fight head-on. Today is to have a reunion dinner, not to discuss military and national affairs. Even if you worry about it, it will be in vain. We still cherish the time in front of us and talk about it. Speak."
When Li Ye heard this, he nodded and said seriously: "Since we are going to war, we will do our best. Not only must we win this war, but we must also strive to bring more soldiers back alive!"
"Well done, the teacher supports you, and our whole family supports you!" Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye and clapped her hands in praise!
While talking, Li Ye suddenly remembered the forbidden troops in the building.
He couldn't help but look at Hua Tianxia and asked: "Sister Hua, I see that many forbidden soldiers and their families came to the host today...these forbidden soldiers will go to southern Xinjiang with me tomorrow. Can sister Hua give them some discounts?" Is this considered a practice for the soldiers?"
