The northern and southern armies were under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the situation that the central forbidden army in Luoyang City was under the jurisdiction of the three families was completely broken.

On the contrary, the Yulin Army is now under the control of Zhang Shuyuan and Murong Di, which has become a faint uneasiness in Li Chengyu's heart. Although Zhang Shuyuan is his father-in-law, the relationship between Li Chengyu and Empress Zhang has always been unfamiliar.

However, the Praetorian Guards guarding the inner city are composed of guards who have been following Li Chengyu, led by Mi Li'er and Xia Zhengsu, who are Li Chengyu's henchmen.

Wei Youqing asked, "Does Your Majesty want Guanlan to study in the Southern Army?" ”

Li Chengyu shook his head with a smile and asked Wei Guanlan, "Do you think you need to enter the Southern Army to learn how to fight the Khitans?" ”

Wei Guanlan shook his head firmly and said, "No need. The soldiers fought with bravery, especially with the Khitans. They don't have any formations at all, we can rush wherever there is an enemy, rush up and kill them! ”

Li Chengyu laughed and patted Guanlan's shoulder again and again: "Okay! This is the real soldier! ”

In this way, Wei Guanlan did not return to Jiangnan after Wei Youqing's wedding, but stayed in the palace and became the captain of Yongyao beside Li Chengyu, commanding the most personal eight hundred guards around the emperor.

Li Taoyao has plumped a lot after giving birth, and her face has changed from the original sharp melon seed face to a full goose egg face, and her complexion is ruddy, and her figure has become round and jade.

Because of being a mother, those big clear eyes are no longer aggressive, but look warm and kind.

I don't know if all the people really didn't recognize that this "Mrs. Zheng" was Li Taoyao, or Li Taoyao did change a lot from body shape to temperament, after that grand wedding, "Mrs. Zheng" graceful and luxurious bearing conquered everyone, and the name "Li Taoyao" has never been mentioned again.

There are not many people in the Gu Mi Sect who know Li Taoyao, and Shi Wen'er doesn't have much bad feelings towards Li Taoyao, but he doesn't want Wei Youqing to marry the girl of the Li family and lose the hearts of the people, seeing that there is such a good ending, he naturally acquiesces.

Of course, everyone's recognition of this "Mrs. Zheng Taohua" mainly comes from the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. You must know that the dragon and phoenix fetus are auspicious from heaven, and Mu Zijin gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses back then, which almost shook Yue Ningyuan's status, and this is the reason.

Li Chengyu ordered Xiaodouzi to send a stalk of mutton fat jade Ruyi as a congratulatory gift to the newlyweds. This jade Ruyi is crystal white, delicate and warm. The auspicious cloud lines carved at the top are smooth and clear, giving people a sense of tranquility and gentleness, tranquility and elegance.

When Wei Youqing saw this jade Ruyi, he couldn't help but be taken aback, this was a relic left to Li Chengyu by Li Chengyu's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Duanci.

He was just about to ask Xiaodouzi, but Xiaodouzi smiled and said: "Your Majesty's will, this is the beloved thing of Marquis Wei back then, and it is now given to Marquis Wei." Please bring your wife and beloved son and daughter into the palace tomorrow. ”

Wei Youqing's thoughts returned to his childhood because of Xiaodouzi's sentence "the beloved thing of the year". Wei Youqing was eleven years old that year, and Li Chengyu was sixteen years old. The two still sleep together and eat at the same table as they did when they were children.

Wei Youqing was still a naughty child, and Li Chengyu was the elder brother who grew up together, so Wei Youqing naturally didn't shy away from anything. Li Chengyu will share any good things with Wei Youqing.

But Li Chengyu tickled and beat Wei Youqing because Wei Youqing took his jade Ruyi, and the two fell out because of this, and Shi Wen'er, who had been worried that Wei Youqing would be led astray by Li Chengyu, took the opportunity to take Wei Youqing out of Li Chengyu's residence to live alone.

Although Li Chengyu later said humility to Wei Youqing, and the two were reconciled as before, although Li Chengyu repeatedly asked Wei Youqing to move back to live, but because Shi Wen'er did not allow it, Wei Youqing never moved back.

Wei Youqing's thoughts returned to reality from the distant past, and he said to Xiaodouzi: "I have been rewarded by Your Majesty, Youqing is grateful, but this wishful thinking..."

Xiaodouzi said with a smile: "If Marquis Wei thinks that there is something inappropriate about Your Majesty like this, you can return to Your Majesty tomorrow." With that, he sent Ruyi to Wei Youqing.

Wei Youqing had no choice but to take Ruyi, Xiaodouzi bowed slightly, turned around and left. Wei Youqing frowned, confused in his heart, and looked at the jade Ruyi over and over again.

Seeing him like this, Li Taoyao asked with a smile: "Is there any story about this Ruyi?" ”

Wei Youqing shook his head and smiled: "This is a relic of the Empress Dowager Duanci, in the early years, I lived in the palace of King Yun with Your Majesty, and I inadvertently tickled this Ruyi, and after Your Majesty saw it, I was beaten up." Since then, we've separated. I don't know why it's given to me again now? ”

Li Taoyao took Ruyi, and after reading it several times, she felt faintly unpleasant in her heart, and always felt that Li Chengyu's gift was ambiguous, but if she said it bluntly, she was afraid that Wei Youqing would be angry.

Li Taoyao thought for a while and smiled: "Your Majesty may not have thought that you would be separated from him because of this matter." If you know that this will happen, I would rather give you this wish. ”

Wei Youqing sighed slightly, and gently stroked the jade Ruyi that exuded a warm atmosphere. He walked over to the dressing table and placed the ruyi on the dressing table. He plucked the cat's eye hairpin from his head and put it together with Ruyi.

Li Taoyao walked behind Wei Youqing, picked up the comb on the dressing table, and combed Wei Youqing's hair neatly.

"This pair of hairpins, is it also a gift from Your Majesty? I don't think you've ever worn any other hairpins since we met. ”

"Hmm." Wei Youqing felt that he had nothing to hide, "He originally planned for one of us to have one, but he was worried that my father would scold me for this, so he gave me both of them." ”

Wei Youqing glanced at Li Taoyao, and said with a straight face: "Taoyao, Your Majesty is a person who values love and righteousness, although I want to live up to his affection after all, I have never thought of despising his affection." I hope you do too. ”

Li Taoyao nodded silently, and continued to comb Wei Youqing's green hair with the jade comb in his hand. This scene brought Wei Youqing back to her good memories, and she was very happy to enjoy the happiness that her newlywed wife brought her.

The next day, the two took An Lan and Ruyi into the palace together, and Xiaodouzi was waiting for them at the gate of Dongming Palace. Li Taoyao met Li Chengyu again. It's just that this time they met, Li Taoyao heard Xiaodouzi call herself "Mrs. Wei", instead of "Her Royal Highness the Princess".

In Li Taoyao's eyes, her imperial uncle Li Chengyu has always been like a delicate and cold statue, not smiling, not angry and arrogant.

It's just that at this time, facing a pair of children brought by Wei Youqing, this beautiful sculpture, a pair of eyes that are always cold and blazing are full of smiles at the moment, and they carefully inspect and appreciate Wei Youqing's sister-in-law Wei Anlan and daughter Ruyi one by one.
