The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Langbu held the little lion in his arms and did not let his guard down.

Although she knew that this was Chang'an City and that there were soldiers guarding both sides of the streets, the child in her arms was special.

Besides being the crown prince of the Yan Dynasty, he is also that man's child.

At this time, Langbu had a solemn face and his eyes like a hawk, scanning the surrounding environment.

The little lion in front of him was a young child, smiling happily at this moment, and the two formed a sharp contrast.

Originally, Langbu was a military general. He was tall and strong, with dark skin, stubble on his chin that he hadn't had time to shave, a cold and hard face, and he wore reflective armor and a majestic cloak.

Coupled with the solemn and murderous aura on his body, he looked extremely brave.

Langbu's outfit this time is much more majestic than the last time he came back with Zhao Zhen.

Last time, his incongruous outfit made many people fail to recognize that the two were the same person.

Langbu didn't know that this was the correct way for him to open it.

The restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the streets in Chang'an City had long been booked by the wives of officials and their families.

At that time, there were very few entertainment options for women, so many families would come out to watch events like the parade of the top scholar or the army returning to the capital.

Langbu's majestic appearance was noticed by many female relatives.

In Cao Xia's private room, there were not only her and her youngest daughter, but also other members of the Xia family.

The second wife of the Xia family and the unmarried girls of the Xia family were on one side, and several other young men of the Xia family were also there.

Xia Yixin looked at Cao Zeyu with envy on his face, "Look, my uncle is coming!"

At this time, all the windows in the private room were opened. In addition to a few children lying on the windowsill looking in, Cao Xia and Madam Xia also looked over.

Cao Zeyu was sitting on his horse. He already knew the location of his private room. "Father, mother is there!"

Cao Kun looked up and saw his wife and little daughter at once, and a big smile appeared on his face.

The reason why he went to war was for his wife.

He wanted his wife to have an imperial edict and live a glorious life in Chang'an City.

He knew that the Queen Mother was cold towards his wife, and he had no objection to this. After all, his wife had also forgotten about the Queen Mother.

The relationship between the two of them was weak and they didn't want to meet each other, so he didn't force it.

He will use his own abilities to change his wife's status.

Cao Kun believed that this was just the beginning and he would achieve more military achievements in the future.

Cao Kun waved towards his wife, and Cao Xia couldn't help but wave back at her husband.

Mrs. Xia blushed when she saw her sister-in-law, and she was very emotional.

At this age, she is still like an unmarried girl. How naive.

Madam Xia Er's eyes moved away from Cao Xia and looked at Lang Bu, "This General Lang is also a young and promising man!"

Langbu was previously only appointed as a colonel, but later he performed well and commanded a large army. Zhao Zhen had already appointed him as the General of Ningyuan, a fifth-rank official.

Many of the illegitimate girls of the Xia family cast their eyes on Langbu.

Although Xia Wenxin, the third daughter of the Xia family, is a concubine's daughter, she is already engaged.

When she heard Mrs. Xia's emotion, she didn't react.

There is only one girl, Xia Wenmiao, in the third branch of the Xia family. She is the future Princess Rong, so she doesn't care.

Xia Wenmiao and Zhao Rong's wedding was postponed.

Last year was so chaotic, and coincidentally the late emperor passed away. Since Xia Wenmiao had not yet married, the royal family was already choosing a suitable day.

Fortunately, Xia Wenmiao is not too old, so it is not too late to get married this year.

Among the three branches of the Xia family, only the three girls from the second branch have not yet had their marriages finalized.

In addition to the legitimate second daughter of the Xia family, Xia Wenyao, the illegitimate fourth daughter of the Xia family, Xia Wenhuan, and the sixth daughter of the Xia family, Xia Wenfei, have all reached the age of marriage.

Especially since Xia Wen Yao was already 19 years old, and in less than a year, the imperial court would arrange a marriage for her.

If a woman did not get married after the age of 20, the court would arrange a marriage for her.

Madam Xia's mind is all on her own daughter, so how could she have the mood to care about two illegitimate girls?

Fourth Miss Xia and Sixth Miss Xia looked at Langbu riding on the horse, and their gazes stayed on him for a long time.

Langbu was on guard all around and saw the women on the second floor of the street, but he didn't pay any attention.

His gaze paused until he saw that somewhat familiar face.

After looking for a while, I realized that the girl was not her.

Langbu quickly withdrew his gaze, kicked the horse's belly, and walked forward.

Cao Kun didn't stay too long either. When they got here, they just slowed down.

Now seeing that Langbu had left, he immediately chased after him.

What happened just now was just a moment.

Cao Xia and her little girl watched the team walk away and then looked away.

Xia Wen Yao stared closely at the back; the person she wanted to see was never a general.

It was the Emperor she wanted to see.

However, to Xia Wenyao's disappointment, Zhao Zhen did not look at the sides of the road while sitting in the sedan chair.

Soon, all the generals in the court walked over, and the restrictions on both sides of the street were removed.

The streets were restored and pedestrians and carriages could move freely.

At this time, the guards of Prince Rong's Mansion came to the private room and said, "Miss Xia Wu, our prince invites you to come into the palace and attend the banquet together!"

The guards from Prince Rong's Mansion went to the Xia family and were told that the future princess had come to the restaurant, so the guards came here.

Xia Wenmiao and Zhao Rong have a stable relationship and are very familiar with the servants in the palace. "Okay, let's go now!"

Xia Yixin is Xia Wenmiao's younger brother. He saw Cao Zeyu so impressive just now and knew that he would definitely attend the palace banquet. He immediately pulled Xia Wenmiao's sleeve and said, "Sister, take me with you."

Xia Wenmiao was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether her brother could go.

Xia Yixin begged, "Sister, please talk to your future brother-in-law. He is so kind to you, he will definitely agree."

Xia Wenmiao blushed, glared at his brother, and scolded him in a low voice: "What nonsense!!!"

"Sister, just take me there!"

Xia Wenmiao had no choice but to say, "Well, I'll take you to see the prince. If he agrees, I'll take you into the palace."

"Good good!"

Although the two siblings spoke quietly, the private room was not big and others could hear them.

Xia Wenmiao, Madam Xia Er and Cao Xia said goodbye, "Second aunt, third aunt, Wenmiao has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Cao Xia nodded, "Okay!"

Madam Xia felt very sad, but she did not show it. "Okay, go quickly, don't let Prince Rong wait anxiously!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Xia's words.

Xia Wenmiao didn't mind either. She knew that Second Madam Xia was overwhelmed by the choices and worried about her second sister's marriage.

She always wanted to choose the best family for her second sister, but apart from the emperor, the only one left was Prince Rong.

But she is the future Princess Rong!

When her wedding was postponed in the past, her second aunt often laughed at her behind her back.
