After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Mrs. Lan acted quickly, and Aunt Rong and Lan Shuyu were sent away the next day, and then the couple arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion carrying gifts.In fact, if possible, Lan Feibai would not want to face the people from Duke Dingguo's mansion at all.But he still wants to hang out in court and wants to be promoted, so he must apologize.

This time, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai did not turn people away, but politely said something to the public. On the surface, the matter was over.But Lan Feibai understands very well that this is just a matter of face. Who in the officialdom would put his likes and dislikes in the open?He was already prepared for his career to be unsatisfactory in the future.

After they left, Tang Shuyi said to Xiao Huai, "I originally thought that we would go out for a walk after Yuming's wedding, but now that Jianing is pregnant, we have to postpone it."

"Then wait until the child is born before setting off." Xiao Huai said.

While the two were talking, a familiar voice came from outside, "Mom, I'm back!"

When Tang Shuyi heard this, he quickly got up and walked out, and saw Xiao Yuming standing in the courtyard wearing silver armor and looking heroic.Seeing her and Xiao Huai, Xiao Yuming lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, "Mom, dad, my son is back!"

Tang Shuyi quickly helped him up, and then looked at him carefully, "He has grown taller and stronger."

Xiao Yuming chuckled, he had indeed grown a lot this year.At this time Xiao Huai said: "Quickly enter the house."

As soon as the three of them entered the room and sat down, Xiao Yuzhu came over. Soon Xiao Yuchen and Jia Ning also came, and the family sat together and talked happily.

Most of the time it was Xiao Yuming who said it, and everyone was listening.Xiao Yuming's experience this year can be described as wonderful.It turns out that he picked almost all the bandits that emerged from the war in Rouli Country.

Xiao Yuming's growth was clearly visible, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai were both relieved.However, all growth comes with sacrifice.Xiao Yuming talked about his experience this year in a relaxed manner, but when he thought about it, he knew it was not that simple.

Xiao Huai is not in command of the Northwest Army now. Will all the soldiers in the Northwest Army obey him as a young commander?Definitely not.Therefore, it was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the Northwest Army, let alone suppress the bandits.However, this is what he must experience.

After dinner, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai called Xiao Yuming to the study alone.

"Are you injured?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuming grinned, "They are all minor injuries, not serious."

Tang Shuyi didn't believe it, but she couldn't take off his clothes to take a look, so she said, "Let the doctor take your pulse tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiao Yuming said obediently. He knew that Tang Shuyi was worried about his body.

"How is the situation in the northwest?" Xiao Huai asked.

"The overall situation is stable, but there are a few big-hearted people." Xiao Yuming said.

"Where is King Yong?" Xiao Huai asked.

In the northwest, King Yong is the most unstable factor.

Xiao Yuming: "Prince Yong seems to have done nothing for the time being, but..."

"Say it directly." Xiao Huai said.

Xiao Yuming: "Prince Yong seems to want to send his daughter to the palace."

Xiao Huai and Tang Shuyi frowned when they heard this.King Yong has a special status. The reason why Xiao Huai's attack on Rouli Country was so successful must have a lot to do with King Yong's internal support.Later, King Yong's throne remained unchanged, and he still had many soldiers and horses in his hands.If something happens to him, he might have to fight another tough battle.

After a while, Xiao Huai said: "Prince Yong will come to Beijing years ago. I will meet him and tell him. If he is really stubborn, I will beat him."

It’s just that we won’t fight this battle if we can’t help it.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yuming left. Tang Shuyi said: "Everything depends on what the emperor says first."

Xiao Huai took her to the dormitory and said, "Don't worry, we probably didn't see the wrong person."

As long as Li Jingyi does not change his mind, they will be his strong backing.

Early the next morning, Li Jingyi asked the eunuch to send a message to Dingguo Gongfu and summon Xiao Yuming.Xiao Yuming did not delay and followed the eunuch into the palace.When they arrived at the imperial study, Li Jingyi was sitting behind the desk reading the memorial. When he saw him, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Second brother."

But Xiao Yuming still bowed to him in a polite manner: "I pay my respects to the emperor."

Li Jingyi immediately helped him up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother."

Xiao Yuming felt helpless when he called him second brother, but he couldn't say why Li Jingyi was the emperor.

The two of them sat down, and Xiao Yuming talked about his experience in the northwest this year again, but it was not as casual as at home.But in the end he said: "Prince Yong may bring his daughter with him when he comes to Beijing this time."

When he said this, he kept looking at Li Jingyi, and it was obvious what he meant.Li Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Second brother, don't worry, my mind remains unchanged."

Xiao Yuming didn't expect him to be so straightforward. After all, he was the emperor now, which was different from his previous status.Even when I talk to him, I am not as direct as before.However, this also shows that at least so far, he is still the same Li Jingyi.

The two chatted all morning. Xiao Yuming had lunch in the imperial study before leaving. In the afternoon, he went to Xie's house with gifts.First, he met Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie. They were very happy to see his changes. They talked for a while before arranging for him to meet Xie Xihua.

Seeing that Xiao Yuming had grown a lot taller, Xie Xihua was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "They say people who live free-range grow stronger, and it seems to be true."

Xiao Yuming chuckled, and then took out the gifts he brought for her, which were all gadgets he usually collected.Xie Xihua's eyes were shining brightly as he took and played with each item one by one. Although these items were not worth much, each item showed his feelings.

Xiao Yuming also told her the interesting things that happened this year.Xie Xihua listened with a smile, and then asked: "Are you injured?"

Xiao Yuming wanted to say nonchalantly that he was not injured, but when the words reached his throat, he swallowed them again and heard him say: "They are just minor injuries."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xihua asked: "Where is the injury?"

"It's on my body and it's on my arms."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms and the eye-catching scars on them.

"Yeah!" Xie Xihua exclaimed and wanted to reach out and touch it, but finally held back.

She asked again: "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Yuming waved his hand, "It doesn't hurt, it just bled a lot."

Xie Xihua's face showed distress, and he thought about preparing some medicine for him to replenish his body soon.Then, when Xiao Yuming left Xie's Mansion, a carriage followed behind him, which was filled with medicinal materials to replenish the body.

A few days later, Mrs. Xie brought Xie Xihua to Duke Dingguo's mansion and brought several sets of clothes and shoes.When Tang Shuyi saw him, he couldn't help but tease Xiao Yuming and said, "I didn't expect my son to be so loved by his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
