Chapter 384 The Little Emperor Accompanies Him Back Home
Li Mulan was angry, "Why didn't I realize that you listened to Chu Chenfeng so much before?"
Li Xiaoqi chuckled twice, "This is not... this is not the case that he is married to you, so he is also half my master, right?"
Li Mulan glared at the two of them, then turned and went back.
She felt a little weak and was confused when she returned to the house. She didn't know what to do and her nose suddenly became sad again.
Li Mulan was listless all day, with no energy, and even ate very little. Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi were so anxious that they scratched their heads outside, but they didn't dare to go in and disturb her. No matter how stupid they were, they could see that Li Mulan was really sad.
This situation did not change until the next morning. But at this time, the old housekeeper came hurriedly and said that today was the day for Li Mulan to return home, and the return gifts were prepared, but...
Alas, my master is not at home, so the princess has to go back alone.
"Going back home?" Li Mulan's mind slowly came back to her mind. Yes, I have to go back home.
"Then...what do we need to prepare?"
The old butler smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I have prepared everything. It's just... I may have to let you go back alone."
Li Mulan didn't care much about these things. "It's well known that the prince went to the border. No one will care about these things."
"Hey, hey, but it's really...really...really...to let the princess go back alone. Otherwise, I would like to ask the young Marquis Gu to accompany you back?"
Li Mulan frowned, thinking it was unnecessary.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, "How can it be good for the imperial aunt to have an outsider accompany her when she returns home? I am the only relative of the imperial uncle, so of course I will accompany her."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Jie's little figure appeared in front of everyone. Behind him was the "outsider" Gu Changqing, who touched his nose uncomfortably.
"Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
"Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
"Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
……
Everyone in and outside the yard knelt down, except Li Mulan.
Chu Jie smiled, "Stand up. Auntie Huang, I'll accompany you back home."
Li Mulan also smiled, "Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?"
"No, I rushed here as soon as the morning court session ended. Fortunately, I made it in time."
Chu Jie came close to Li Mulan, feeling very happy.
Gu Changqing on the side shook his head helplessly. He really lied without hesitation. The unbusy emperor probably forgot about the mountain of memorials in his imperial study.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just going back home. I can do it alone. Have you had your meal?"
"I have used it," Chu Jie looked at the old housekeeper, "Are all the things ready?"
The old butler bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can leave at any time."
Seeing Li Mulan losing interest, Chu Jie took her hand and said, "Aunt, shall we set off?"
When Chu Jie just entered the mansion, he saw the irritable Huo Yuanruo, and naturally knew that Li Mulan was in a bad mood. Accompanying the imperial aunt back should make her happier, right?
"it is good."
The Regent Prince's Palace and Li Taifu's Palace were not far away and only took a little over a quarter of an hour to get there.
Li Yi and his family were waiting in the mansion early in the morning, and Zhang had even gone outside the mansion to check on them several times.
Li Yi jokingly pulled Zhang who wanted to go out again, "Okay, Lan'er, it's not like you don't know the way back home, aren't you tired of running back and forth?"
"I'm so anxious. Why hasn't it arrived yet at this hour?"
Li Xun and others on the side also laughed.
Li Xi took the initiative to say, "Mom, don't go. I'll go and take a look for you."
The emperor had something to do today and said he would take a day off, so Li Xi was also free today.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the butler came over hurriedly, "She's back, she's back, the young lady is back, and the emperor is here too."
Everyone in the room stood up and hurried out to greet them.
What a great honor it is that the emperor personally accompanies me back home.
Li Mulan greeted the elders in the family one by one, and then naturally showed her concern for them. After chatting for a while, she took Zhang away. She was a crying mother, and it was obvious that she had a lot to say to her.
"Mom, I'm only away for a few days, why are you crying?"
Li Xi smiled and came between them, @Sister, mother is worried about you and afraid that you will be wronged. I have told her many times that brother-in-law is a good person and will not let you be wronged, but she just won't listen, and I really have no choice. "
Zhang glared at him unhappily, "You are everywhere. I want to have a private conversation with your sister. Get out."
Li Xi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said aggrievedly, "Mom, I miss my sister too, and I want to talk to her."
Li Mulan patted his arm and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll talk to you later."
Li Xi didn't want to leave, but since his sister said so, he could only leave with his head turned back every few steps. Fortunately, Huo Yuanruo and the others had also returned, so he went to find out some information and see how his sister was doing in the palace and whether she was adapting well.
"Lan'er, why does mother feel that you have lost weight?" Zhang wiped the corners of her eyes, trying to make herself feel better.
Li Mulan was helpless, "Mom, I've only been away for three days, how can I bear it."
Zhang carefully examined her face again. "You've lost weight? Are you not adapting to the palace?"
"Oh, no, I have good food and accommodation, so there is no reason for me to not adapt."
"Then you...you and the prince..." Zhang felt so sad when she thought that Chu Chenfeng went to the battlefield just two days after his marriage. What would happen to her daughter?
Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. If anything were to happen, or someone were to lose an arm or a leg, her daughter...
When it comes to Chu Chenfeng, Li Mulan feels a little depressed. It would be a lie to say that she is not disappointed.
"The prince treated me very well. He told me everything I needed to know before I left. Everyone in the palace respected me very much."
"Then you...you guys...did you..." Zhang looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to ask.
Li Mulan didn't react for a moment, "Is there anything?"
"That's it..." Zhang's face turned red, and she said in a muffled voice, "consummation of the marriage."
Li Mulan stood there in a daze, then felt a little embarrassed, "Mom~".
"Mother... Mother is just asking, this... The prince has gone to the battlefield, and mother is worried."
"No~" Li Mulan blushed and muttered softly, "He was very busy, and he only said a few words the night before he left."
Hearing her daughter's words, Zhang didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. She naturally hoped that her daughter would be well. But Chu Chenfeng had a high status and position, so the responsibility on his shoulders was naturally heavy.
Zhang even thought that maybe she could find an ordinary family and live a happy life. But her daughter was so outstanding and had such a personality... It would be impossible to place her in the inner house, alas!
