The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

The farewell banquet was scheduled for the evening.

In the hall, candlelight flickered, pearl curtains fluttered, exquisite tables were filled with delicious food, and palace servants shuttled back and forth.

In the center of the hall, dancers swayed their waists to the changes of the orchestral music.

Luo Mosheng and Tong Jia Ruyan exchanged glances.

Tong Jia Ruyan was thinking about what Luo Mosheng said yesterday, feeling a little dazed.

Wei Yun's hands were shaking a little, his eyes were straight, and no one knew what he was thinking. Hao Chuan also noticed Wei Yun's abnormality.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

Wei Yun did not answer.

"Mother?" Hao Chuan spoke again.

Wei Yun seemed to be frightened and turned his head suddenly, making a loud noise.

People around her kept looking at her.

"what?"

"what?"

Wei Yun stared at Hao Chuan in a daze.

Hao Chuan could only repeat.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell? Why do you seem a little dazed?"

Wei Yun shook his head.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just didn't get enough rest."

Then he looked at Hao Hengshan, who was not sitting with him.

Hao Hengshan sat next to Luo Mosheng, drinking and whispering something to Luo Mosheng.

Concubine Yan sat behind the emperor, looking at everyone from time to time without any special expression.

Regarding the war with Jinlin, and since Luo Mian was personally leading the troops, a large number of people came this time, even Empress Dowager Shouren came.

The last time Shen Runing saw Empress Dowager Shouren was at a flower-viewing banquet. Compared with before, the Empress Dowager looked much more haggard.

Her eyes would occasionally fall on Concubine Chunhong.

This time the emperor was a little more "solemn" and did not "make any advances" with the noble lady Chunhong beside him.

The dancers stepped back, the orchestra stopped, and everyone in the hall waited for the emperor to speak.

The emperor sat on a high seat with a smile on his face, his eyes 'circling' over the faces of everyone in the hall, finally stopping on Luo Mian.

He raised his glass, and although there was a smile on his face, it still couldn't hide his deep thoughts.

He spoke in a calm yet meaningful tone.

"Mian'er."

Luo Mian stood up.

"Brother Royal."

Everyone in the hall held their breath.

"You must be cautious when you are on the road to war. Although the road ahead will be full of wind, frost and swords, I know that you have experienced hundreds of battles and will be invincible and protect the stability of our country."

Then he paused, and his tone contained more of an elder brother's advice to his younger brother.

"Although this journey is difficult, I miss you very much, but I hope you can kill all the enemies on the battlefield and keep my court stable."

After saying this, the emperor glanced at Tong Jia Ruyan.

"You have been friends with the prince for many years. Although he has not come, you and I know in our hearts that you are his future subject and role model."

Luo Mian raised the corners of his mouth.

The emperor seemed to be "seeing him off", but in reality his words contained a hint of warning.

Luo Mian didn't say anything, but just bowed and nodded.

"I hope you return triumphantly. When the time comes, the Crown Prince and I will prepare wine and welcome you in person at the palace gate to celebrate the prosperity of our dynasty!"

After saying this, the emperor raised his glass.

Everyone stood up.

in unison.

"Celebrating the prosperity of our dynasty..."

Luo Mian drank it all in one gulp, then spoke slowly, his tone calm and respectful.

"I will keep your teachings in mind. If I return safely, I will live up to your grace and celebrate the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

His eyes shifted away from the emperor, seemingly nonchalantly, but clearly scanning everyone in the hall.

She laughed slowly and calmly, as if she was completely unaware of the emperor's temptation.

"My brother has just granted marriage to Ning'er and me. I can't help but feel worried when I go on this expedition. I hope my brother will take good care of my Ning'er."

Shen Runing looked at Luo Mian blankly.

No one dared to make a sound.

Luo Mian spoke frankly, but there was a subtle temptation and implicit warning in his words. He sounded respectful, but in fact he was telling the emperor that although he was on an expedition, the people he cared about were still in the palace. He was not without concerns and would never let himself be manipulated easily.

Du Wenzhe gently pushed Li Qianchang.

"Why did he talk so much today?"

Li Qianchang touched his nose and smiled.

"Then who knows."

Luo Mian put away his smile and bowed.

There is ease in his calm posture.

The emperor laughed out loud.

"Okay! Don't worry, Mian'er!"

Shen Kuo in the corner pushed Shen Li.

"Has your majesty forgotten that you were going with him?"

Shen Li scratched his head.

"I feel the same way. Why is it as if Prince Ruyang is going to the battle alone?"

I was just about to stand up and speak.

"Shen Li."

When Shen Li heard the emperor calling his name, he quickly knelt down.

"The minister is here."

"It's good for helping you sleep."

Shen Li was still there with his head down, waiting for the emperor to continue speaking, but all he got was silence.

?

Ok?

Gone?

Shen Li could only speak dryly.

"My lord, I obey your order."

……

"Cough cough cough..."

The emperor heard Empress Dowager Shouren cough and turned around.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Empress Dowager Shouren waved her hand.

"Emperor, I have something to say."

The emperor was a little puzzled.

What? You want to go to the battlefield too?

Eunuch Qian is a man with good vision.

"Quiet! The Queen Mother has something to say!"

The noise in the hall disappeared instantly.

Empress Dowager Shouren took a sip of tea and cleared her throat.

"Emperor, I am old, but I still care about Tianyan's national destiny and your heirs. The harem is too quiet now, which is not a long-term plan."

The emperor did not answer, but just nodded slightly.

"You are in your prime years, and there should be more people in your harem. This will bring more auspiciousness and stability to your country!"

The queen was stunned.

"Queen Mother, the war is at its most critical point now..."

Empress Dowager Shouren waved her hand.

"Queen, you are wrong. The more times like this, the more you should increase the popularity of the harem!"

What that means is that Luo Mian is leading his troops to kill people at the front line, and you are choosing concubines for the emperor in the palace?

It’s great to be an emperor.

Empress Dowager Shouren looked at Concubine Chunhong.

"Emperor, there are some things I shouldn't say, but..."

"It is a taboo to favor only one person. The emperor should treat everyone equally."

Concubine Chunhong immediately lowered her head.

The emperor looked at Empress Dowager Shouren for a long time and said something incomprehensible.

"Mother, the past is the past."

?

Concubine Jing smiled.

"It's not a bad thing to have more people to help your majesty have children. Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

"More offspring..."

“Many roads.”

After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she immediately felt the Queen's sharp gaze.

You can be as strong as you want, I just won't look you in the eye.

The emperor spoke.

"Just follow my mother's wishes."

Empress Dowager Shouren smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

While the discussion was going on here, Ling Hui on the other side opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

What is this? This is a piece of iron that you have been looking for for a long time, but now you have found it without any effort!

I was just wondering if the previous plan was a bit abrupt, but now it seems that God is really helping me!

Ling Hui wants to bring someone to the palace.
