Jiang Rui returned to Chang'an Palace on the front foot, and Lu Xingzhou followed behind.
Thinking of the pitiful face of the little emperor, Jiang Rui said to him: "Rui Er came to me to cry today, saying that he was beaten by her husband. He is young, and I didn't do much restraint before, so his temper will inevitably be naughty, why don't you go? Talk to your husband, usually you can be stricter, just beat the handboard and the like."
Lu Xingzhou heard this, but what he thought in his heart was: There is still energy to complain, it seems that the little emperor is still too busy.
Thinking like this, his face remained calm, and he smiled and said, "Okay, the minister will have a talk with Mr. Ma tomorrow."
Jiang Rui sat in front of the dressing table, Han Yan took off pieces of jewelry for her, put on a bun, and combed her hair.
A black hair spread like a waterfall behind his back, Lu Xingzhou watched for a while, moved a little, stepped forward and said, "I'm coming."
Han Yan looked at Jiang Rui hesitantly, and seeing that she had no objection, she handed the comb to Lu Xingzhou, and then quietly withdrew.
The fine comb was combed from head to tail, and the black hair was smooth and shiny, slipping away from the teeth again and again. Lu Xingzhou raised his eyes to look at the person in the bronze mirror. It happened that Jiang Rui was also looking at the bronze mirror. The two looked at each other for a while, and he suddenly smiled and said, "We are husband and wife with no doubts about our love."
This poem doesn't match the current situation, and the relationship between the two is not a husband and wife, but he just read it out like this, and he didn't feel abrupt.
Jiang Rui first averted her eyes and looked down at the jewelry box in front of her.
Lu Xingzhou embraced her from behind. Kissing the top of her hair again and again, she asked softly, "Have you ever thought about the future?"
Jiang Rui frowned slightly, looking a little tired, "A person in a deep palace is like a bird in an iron cage. Apart from being boiled day by day, how can there be a future?"
Lu Xingzhou was silent for a while, and said, "It turns out that the empress did not enter the palace out of her own wish, and the same is true for the minister."
He rarely talked about himself, and Jiang Rui couldn't help looking up at him.
When Lu Xingzhou was young, he was also a high-spirited young master. Unfortunately, with a careless move, the Lu family was involved in the battle for the throne, and was pushed out to be a scapegoat.
In an instant, the family was destroyed and fell into the quagmire from the branches. Lu Xingzhou has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world that no one else has ever experienced in their entire lives, and the culprit who brought his Lu family to such a situation is still at ease.
How can you not avenge a bloody vengeance? He climbed to this position by any means, just to kill the enemy.
After his great revenge was avenged, he was also lost. But now that he has reached this point, there is no reason to go back any more. Taking a step back is not the vastness of the sea and the sky, but the end of redemption. He just moved on with a little boredom.
But recently, the idea of staying away from all this, away from the place where he was imprisoned for half his life, became more and more clear.
"If it's possible to leave here, is the maiden willing to go with the minister?" He asked in a low voice, with a smile on his face, looking a little careless, but the pair of eyes staring at Jiang Rui revealed his heart. worrying and nervous.
Jiang Rui sighed lightly: "How can you leave such a big stall to a child like Rui'er? Besides, you have made a lot of enemies over the years, and people are afraid of the power in your hands. But where can there be peace?"
Lu Xingzhou said: "If you want to leave, it's not at the moment, the minister will arrange everything, just ask the empress to wait for a while."
"What is there to be afraid of? It's been so many years. What if it's another ten or twenty years?"
Although she didn't say it directly, the meaning in her words was very obvious. Lu Xingzhou was so excited that he picked her up and rubbed his forehead lightly against his forehead. He murmured, "It doesn't take ten or twenty years. How can the minister be willing to let the maiden for a long time. The maiden... Lu Xingzhou will not bear it in this life."
After that day, Lu Xingzhou's attitude towards the little emperor had changed significantly. He used to be like a stocking man, he could do whatever he wanted, but now he was very concerned about his homework. The little emperor had to follow him every day after school, and watch him handle government affairs. He didn't even have the time to go to Jiang Rui to act coquettishly.
Jiang Rui knew that Lu Xingzhou was preparing for the little emperor to learn to be a real emperor, so he decided not to interfere.
So the little emperor could only cry and cry. While completing the tasks assigned by Mr. Lu Xingzhou, all the extras added by Lu Xingzhou were completed.
His progress was obvious to all, and he really calmed down to study hard, he was smarter than the previous princes, and even Lu Xingzhou was reluctant to say that his son could be taught.
Time is like running water, as if in the blink of an eye, a coquettish urchin who loves to cry has grown into a vigorous teenager.
Today's little emperor has begun to have the power of an emperor, and he is also tacitly aware of the relationship between Lu Xingzhou and his mother.
These two people, one is not his biological mother, but he is like his biological mother, and the other is his half husband, who has cultivated him into an emperor's talent. Therefore, even if he is noble as the emperor, he is willing to bow his head in front of them, not to mention the matter.
But this does not mean that the little emperor can be willing and indifferent to Lu Xingzhou wanting to kidnap his mother.
After realizing that his mother would leave him in the near future, the little emperor would go to Chang'an Palace to entangle Jiang Rui every day after handling government affairs, trying to shake her resolve.
Today is no exception. But as soon as he stepped into the palace gate and saw the servants guarding outside the palace, he knew that he was late, and he muttered an old fox in his heart, and he kept walking.
In the hall, Lu Xingzhou was talking to Jiang Rui, but now he has gradually let go, leaving a lot of government affairs to the little emperor to handle, while he is taking time off to accompany Jiang Rui.
Hearing the report from the internal servant, he thought of a little bastard in his mind, with a gentle smile on his face.
The little emperor strode into the hall, first greeted Jiang Rui, and then called Mr. Lu Xingzhou. He raised his head to look directly at the two of them, and couldn't help feeling emotional. Over the years, he has grown from a child to half an adult, but his mother and husband are still the same as before, and even his face has not changed much.
"The weather is nice today, will my son go out for a walk with his mother?"
Before Jiang Rui could speak, Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty is one step late, and the minister has just walked around the garden with the empress."
The emperor was not discouraged, and said: "My mother mentioned the big peaches in the summer palace yesterday. I have already sent them to pick them. They should be able to bring them back before the palace gate is locked today."
"It's a coincidence." Lu Xingzhou pointed to the fruit plate on the coffee table, as if it was just a coincidence, and said with a smile: "The peach tree in Chenbeizhuang also bears peaches, and it was only delivered today, can your majesty taste it?"
The little emperor was about to refuse when he heard his mother say, "It tastes good, sweet and refreshing, and Rui'er will try one too."
So he had no choice but to take a peach in a fit of rage, and bite it so hard that it crackled.
Sanqi watched all this, and couldn't help sighing, Jiang was still old and hot, and His Majesty had to fight with the Governor, and he had to practice for a few more years.
After the little emperor wobbled away, Jiang Rui waved his hand to let him back off, and then said to Lu Xingzhou, "What are you doing against him? You get mad at him every time."
Lu Xingzhou took her hand and squeezed it, smiling lightly: "My lady has misunderstood, this minister is training your majesty."
Also hone, I am afraid that there is only grinding without practice. Jiang Rui muttered in secret.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Xingzhou's hand on his side tightened tightly, and then loosened it as if nothing had happened, and asked casually, "I don't know if I'm going to do the things that Niangniang promised to the minister?"
Jiang Rui didn't know what he was thinking, and gave him a sideways look: "Do you think you can do it? If I was going to go back on my word, I would have agreed with Rui Er when he begged me, why wait until today."
Her impatient look made Lu Xingzhou feel at ease.
He doesn't care about the supreme power, nor is he interested in the wealth of an enemy country, and now the only obsession is her. Any attempt to take her away is unbearable.
He smiled and wanted to hug her, "It's the minister's fault, the madam please calm down."
Jiang Rui clapped his hand away: "In broad daylight, Zhuang key point."
Eunuch Lu counted in his heart how many hours left until it was dark.
