Chapter 582 Sir, Please Stay (44)
"No matter what their plans are, your husband will protect you. You may be freer away from the capital. As long as you are with me, I will follow you even in a barren land."
"You just know how to coax me." After saying that, Gu Yuxi hugged the man's waist and rested her head on his chest. This man has been very smooth-talking recently.
"My husband is telling the truth, my wife. I don't like the intrigues in the capital. I have figured out a lot of things in Fuxing in the past few years. Only when you are content can you be happy forever."
"Ah."
Half a year later, Zhenjiang Palace...
shhhhhh...
"Master, it's been half an hour. Can you take a break before practicing again?"
"This king does not need it for the time being."
Li Haozheng didn't know what he was angry about. He felt that even though he had the most power in the world, he was not happy at the end of the day. It was lonely at the top.
He took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his body, but he didn't expect that several attendants beside him started to speak: "Master, the Queen Mother has set up a peony banquet in the palace, and I want you to go and see it."
"Peony Banquet? Humph! What's so good about it? I don't know how many years I've been watching it. It's the same every year. There's nothing new. As long as the Queen Mother is happy, it's fine. I don't have the leisure to join in the fun." Li Haozheng said, waving his hand impatiently.
At this time, a servant hurried over, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, the princess of Hera has arrived at the post station. Your Majesty specifically asked you how to accommodate this distinguished guest who has come from afar."
Li Haozheng didn't even raise his head, still concentrating on wiping the sword in his hand, and answered casually: "This matter is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. I have many important matters to deal with, so I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. Let them discuss it on their own."
Before he finished speaking, another person came to report: "Your Highness, the chrysanthemums in the Queen's palace are now in full bloom, and they are extremely beautiful. Moreover, the Queen learned that Your Highness had praised a pot of Drunken Chrysanthemum a month ago. A month ago, she and the Princess brewed a pot of Drunken Chrysanthemum together, and today she specially invited Your Highness to taste it."
However, when Li Haozheng heard this, his brows furrowed even more.
Seeing this, another servant secretly thought that it was not good, but he still took a deep breath and said carefully: "Your Highness, there is one more thing I want to tell you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a literary banquet with the Crown Princess in Wenshu Garden tomorrow, inviting talented scholars and beautiful women from all over the world to attend. This is the invitation letter sent to you, please take a look, Your Highness."
Li Haozheng took the invitation, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside.
The man responded indifferently: "I have no intention of marrying at the moment. If the palace sends such banquet invitations again in the future, you don't need to ask for permission, just refuse it on my behalf. Don't bother me."
After saying that, he quickly left the front yard and ignored everyone.
In the study, Li Haozheng held a paintbrush and painted a picture of a beauty under flowers, but the beauty had no facial features.
The secret guard said: "My Lord, why does this woman have no facial features? If you want, I will..."
"I can't beat her, and I won't do anything that goes against my conscience and morality. I'm the only one who knows who she is."
A secret guard flashed into the study and presented a box: "Master, should the Zhengshu Pills that Gu Sima found be sent directly to the Empress Dowager?"
"Why did it take you so long to find me?"
"The military has been busy in the past six months, and Lord Gu is not free, and Madam Deng is also not free."
"Oh, are you busy taking care of the backyard every day?"
"She didn't know that this was the medicine you were looking for, Your Highness. It was just that Madam Deng had just given birth to her second son two months ago. This medicine was urgently urged by Master Gu, so she started making it after she finished her confinement."
"What did you say?"
Li Haozheng tightly grasped the drawing paper. Why did the secret guard feel that his master was so excited? Could it be that he also wanted to marry and have children?
"Hehe, I mean, Mrs. Deng has twin sons. Are you also..."
boom……
"roll!"
Li Haozheng was so angry that he swept all the pens, inkstones, and paper on the table to the ground. His eyes turned red and he said, "Get out!"
"This medicine?"
"Send it to where it should be sent!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, calm down."
A few days later...
"Husband, please block it. The sun is too bright."
"Sir, hold him sideways. The young master is young and cannot be exposed to the sun like this."
Deng Wenjie held the baby neatly and looked at his wife who was playing with the child beside him. Now he felt very happy.
"Sir, the King of Zhenjiang is here to visit."
The people in the courtyard stood up and saw a figure entering the mansion, dressed in armor, and Deng Wenjie and others saluted.
"I've met the prince."
"Get up. I am going to the southern border. I came to visit some old friends and ask Madam Deng for some self-defense pills."
The mentioned Gu Yuxi then looked at Li Haozheng and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Seeing the baby in Gu Yuxi's arms, Li Haozheng felt that his brain did not react in time at the beginning. He did not expect to be disturbed by rumors from the outside world. How could she not give birth!
"I have not yet congratulated Lord Deng and Madam Deng on the birth of their two little sons. Someone, come here."
The subordinates presented the gifts, two longevity locks and a jade ruyi bracelet.
"This is a longevity lock made by the royal craftsman. It is a small gift for the two young masters. The jade ruyi nourishes people. May the lady be blessed with good fortune and happiness."
"Your Majesty, this gift is too precious."
"Madam and the young master are both blessed people. I am just offering you a gift. Please do not refuse. Sir Deng's news spreads too slowly."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward." Deng Wenjie felt like he was being targeted by someone, but he and Gu Yuxi were already married and had children, and it was impossible for Li Haozheng to do anything out of line. He was just warning himself.
"Can I see your child?" The man raised his lips slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and expectation, staring straight at the swaddling baby in Gu Yuxi's arms.
Gu Yuxi was secretly surprised. She hesitated again and again, but ultimately she couldn't resist the other party's powerful aura. She had to hold the child tightly and walked forward carefully.
The man carefully looked at the two children's pink faces, his eyes showing love: "Madam Deng, I feel that I have a great affinity with these two children, and I want to adopt them as my adopted sons. What do you think, Madam?"
Gu Yuxi was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you are of an extremely noble status. I really can't reach your level! If I were naughty by nature, I'm afraid I would offend you, Your Majesty."
"What? Does Madam Deng look down on my status?" The man's face darkened and his voice became low.
Gu Yuxi was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I have no such intention, I am just afraid that the children are ignorant and will upset the prince."
"My Lord, that's not what my wife meant."
Seeing this, the man suddenly laughed out loud: "I was just saying this casually, you two don't need to be so nervous, get up."
Gu Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you really love to joke."
"Someone will communicate with Madam about the medicines you need. I have important matters to attend to. Goodbye."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
After Li Haozheng left, the two returned to the room holding the child. The man rubbed Gu Yuxi's knees and asked, "Are you okay, my lady?"
"It's okay, he won't come."
"I know."
Deng Wenjie knew what Gu Yuxi meant. He hugged the woman and said that from now on he didn't have to worry too much and just lived a good life with her...
