Breaking a Couple in every World - Chapter 240

[Chapter 260]

Li Huairou went on to say: “Right now, the emperor and I are both here, so naturally there is no need to worry. But one day, the emperor and I will not be here? If you don’t have real talents and learning, can you keep this title and wealth?”

Lu Yuanqi was stunned . Yes, he really didn’t think of this. “No, the emperor and uncle live a long life, and they won’t be here.”

Li Huairou smiled, stroked Lu Yuanqi’s hair, and pulled her to his side, “Good boy. People are mortal, this It’s nothing! We can’t protect you for the rest of our lives. One day, you will grow up, grow up, and grow into a towering tree. No matter the wind and rain, you will always be able to stand still. At that time, your parents, you My wife and children, maybe even my uncle and I have to be protected by you.”

Lu Yuanqi was a smart child, but no one had ever told him this before. Now that Li Huairou said it, he understood after a little thought. His father was nothing special, just a dude, the title of the Lu family was awarded by the emperor. Everything in the Lu family is based on the love between mother and the emperor who depend on each other and live and die together. When the emperor is here, their family doesn’t have to worry about it.

But one day, the emperor will be gone…

Lu Yuanqi never thought about it before, but now he couldn’t think about it.

“Uncle, I understand, I will work hard. I will work hard to grow up and grow into a towering tree that no one can cut down! Protect parents and uncle!” Lu Yuanqi said firmly.

Li Huairou smiled gratifiedly. How could the child they hold dearly in their hands be a person who has no responsibility and only wants to enjoy himself!

In fact, whether it is her, Zhen’er, or Lu Li, the love for children is the same. Because I really love him, I have to force him for his own good. What others have is not as good as what one has. If you have strength, you can always stand tall.

Lu Yuanqi started his study time in Cunwentang. Although he was a bit playful occasionally, he could finish the homework assigned by the teacher quickly and well. Mr. Wenwu praised him a lot in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked proud. How could their children be worse?

It’s just that every time he saw Lu Yuanqi’s scars from practicing riding and archery, the emperor felt distressed again, and even wanted to stop his riding and archery lessons. Every time he opened his mouth, Li Huairou persuaded him to go back.

Because she could tell that Lu Yuanqi really liked riding and shooting. She had seen Lu Yuanqi in class. During culture class, she would occasionally be distracted and deserted, but when she was in riding and archery class, she was fully focused and her eyes were shining. Although he is often injured, he is full of energy. Now he can trot for a while on horseback, draw a bow of one stone, and hit nine out of ten arrows at twenty paces.

Even the emperor felt sorry for her, let alone Zhen’er and Lu Li, who were parents.

Every time Lu Yuanqi went home, on the surface Lu Li and Zhen’er said nothing, but after Lu Yuanqi fell asleep, the couple would sit by the bed and watch their son cry.

“It’s because I’m useless to make my son work so hard.” Lu Li said, wiping away his tears.

“Since you know, why don’t you change it quickly, and improve yourself from now on, so that your son won’t have to work so hard!” Zhen’er said angrily.

“I can’t, I’m not the material!” Lu Li hurriedly waved his hands, “I can’t.” His parents have spurred him all his life, so he didn’t become a talent. It was only after marrying Zhen’er that she made a fortune. For this reason, he did not know how many people scolded him as a little boy who ate soft food. He doesn’t care. But his son could not be accused like that. Absolutely not!

Zhen’er gave him a blank look, “Then say less!”

Lu Li obediently said, “Got it.”

Zhen’er also felt sorry for her son, but the eldest brother was right, parents’ love for their son has far-reaching plans. The prosperity and wealth of the Lu family is like a castle in the air. Although it looks extremely gorgeous from the outside, it has no foundation at all. Lu Li didn’t live up to his expectations, so he could only let Brother Qi work.

“Let me squeeze my son’s feet!” Lu Li fetched a basin of water, he thought about it, he didn’t know anything, and he couldn’t help his son, so he could only do small things.

Zhen’er nodded, lifted the quilt carefully, put her son’s legs on her knees, and just wanted to reach out to take off her son’s socks.

“I’m coming, you just need to watch from the side.” Lu Li hastily stopped him.

“This is my son too, I’ll hate him.” Zhen’er gave him an angry look, then reached out to take off her shoes and socks, “Ouch!”

“I just said let me do it!” Lu Li hurriedly moved his son’s legs Come here, Zhen’er covered her mouth and ran out, the smell must be too strong!

Lu Li shook his head, women, they still don’t understand men well enough. Well, although the one lying down is not yet a man. But it has begun to look like a man.

Lu Li was prepared, he stuffed his nose with cotton, wiped his son’s feet with a towel, and then pinched his son’s feet. Lu Yuanqi hummed comfortably.

Zhen’er covered her nose with a handkerchief, stood at the door from afar, and smiled.

Time flies, and twelve years have passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhen’er and Lu Li waited in a hurry at the restaurant with the best view. Two years ago, Lu Yuanqi quietly went to the border to join the army, and he has been away for two years.

Three months ago, the Nanfan invaded, and the border guards fought the enemy bravely and repelled the Nanfan.

Lu Yuanqi’s name suddenly appeared in the battle report submitted. Lu Yuanqi went deep into the enemy camp, beheaded several soldiers of the Nanfan, and captured the Zuoxian King of the Nanfan alive.

He had stayed at the border for two years before, but he hadn’t made an inch of merit, so Lu Yuanqi didn’t dare to show his real name to others. None of the soldiers at the border knew that he was the son of Duke Cheng’an.

The emperor was overjoyed after seeing the battle report, and ordered Lu Yuanqi to return to Beijing.

Today is the day when Lu Yuanqi and the meritorious soldiers return to the pilgrimage to see each other.

Zhen’er and Lu Li miss their son and have been waiting here since morning.

Soon, Zhen’er saw her son riding on a horse, smiling and waving to the people. She hadn’t seen her for two years, and Zhen’er almost couldn’t recognize her son. There was no childishness on his face, replaced by a youthful heroism.

Zhen’er’s tears rolled down her cheeks, she blinked desperately, and waved at her son.

Lu Li put his arms around her shoulders and cried excitedly. The son is finally back! Very good! Whoooo! He can finally face Zhen’er, who misses his son and is on the verge of mental breakdown, alone.

Lu Yuanqi also saw Lu Li and Zhen’er, stood up excitedly from the stirrups, and waved her hands desperately.

Seeing her son with her own eyes, all bearded and tailed, Zhen’er’s tense spirit suddenly relaxed, and then she slipped and passed out.

Lu Li was terrified, hugged his wife quickly, and went back home.

Lu Yuanqi had seen the emperor and hurried back to the mansion. When he entered the house, he found the house was full of joy. He thought that the emperor’s imperial decree had arrived. Did his parents know the decree that he was named the general of the second rank and married the second princess?

Then Lu Yuanqi realized that she had guessed wrong, because when he entered the door, his father happened to send the imperial doctor away happily.

Imperial physician? Who is sick? Is it my mother? “Father, is mother sick? I’ll go and have a look!” Lu Yuanqi was about to rush in.

He was grabbed by Lu Li, “It’s okay, your mother is fine. You are going to be an older brother!” Lu Li rubbed his hands happily and said.

“Ah!” The newly appointed General Zhen Guo and future son-in-law was stunned. He’s going to be a brother? His mother is this old clam pregnant with a pearl?

“Mother, it hurts!” Lu Yuanqi cried while covering her head.

“Mother doesn’t hurt!” Zhen’er said angrily. “Can you talk? What is an old clam begets pearls? Is your mother very old? Tell me, am I old?” Zhen’er looked at Lu Li and said.

“How could it be! Zhen’er, you are young and beautiful, and you look much younger than me! Don’t listen to children’s nonsense!” Lu Li quickly said firmly. No wonder Zhen’er has gained weight recently, and she has a very bad temper. She often loses her temper and loves to cry. He thought that Zhen’er was going through menopause. It turned out to be pregnant! It’s really a godsend!

Jane just laughed.

Lu Yuanqi patted his head, with an expression of not being able to bear to look directly at it. “Mom, you are pregnant, what should I do when I get married?”

“Married?” Zhen’er and Lu Li asked.

“Yes, the emperor ordered the second princess to me, and let the Ministry of Rites choose a date. By the way, mother, I am now a general of the second rank. It is a pity that the emperor does not allow me to see the border again.” Lu Yuanqi touched Said with his head in his head.

Lu Li frowned, “Your mother can’t worry about the current situation. In this case, you can talk to the emperor and move the wedding date to a later date. At least, you have to wait until your mother gives birth to your younger sister safely.”

Zhen’er was not angry. He slapped Lu Li, “Don’t talk nonsense. The palace should know about my pregnancy by now. The people in the Ministry of Rituals are not fools, they know what to do.”

Lu Li’s eyes lit up, “Yes, Why didn’t I think of that.”

Sure enough, after a while, Li Huairou came in person. “When I heard what the imperial doctor said, I thought I had heard it wrong. The emperor is coming too, so I persuaded you.”

Li Huairou sat by the bed, looked at Zhen’er, hesitant to speak.

Then he waited for Lu Li, “You said you are already old, why don’t you know how to control yourself. Brother Qi is going to marry a wife, why don’t you…”

“Brother, it was an accident, it was really an accident, We didn’t expect it either. Who knows if there’s been no movement for so many years!” Lu Li hurriedly explained.

Zhen’er frowned, “Brother.”

“I’m not blaming you, I just feel sorry for you. You are not young anymore, and this birth must be extremely hard and dangerous.” In her forties, she will be an advanced maternal age in future generations. Now that the medical level is backward, it is even more dangerous.

Lu Li and Lu Yuanqi hadn’t thought of this yet, but upon hearing Li Huairou’s words, they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Look cautious.

“Zhen’er!” “Mother!”

“I’m not afraid! This is my fate with her.” Zhen’er rubbed her stomach and said with a smile. “Brother, please go back to the palace and tell the emperor, just like Brother Huaiqi at that time, let Imperial Physician Chen come to stay at the mansion for a while!”

Li Huairou sighed, and patted Zhen’er’s hand, “This is natural.” The

emperor then bestowed three imperial physicians, all of whom were famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, who were resident in the Cheng’an mansion. As for the marriage between Lu Yuanqi and the second princess, it is natural to postpone it.

Concubine De glanced at her daughter who was sewing in front of the window, “Okay, I’ve been sewing for half a day, let’s take a break.”

“Understood, there are still a few more stitches to go.” The second princess said without raising her head. .

After a while, the second princess cut the last thread with silver scissors, “Okay, mother concubine, do you think it

looks good?” The concubine raised it up with a smile and said. “Mother also made some clothes for Mrs. Cheng’an, let’s send them together later.”

“En.” The second princess smiled. “Concubine Mu, do you think Mrs. Cheng’an’s birth is a boy or a girl?”

“I don’t know. But the emperor really hopes that Mrs. Cheng’an will have both children.” Concubine De smiled and stroked her daughter’s long hair , and said, “Wan’er, when you marry into Cheng’an Duke’s mansion in the future, you must remember to be filial to your parents-in-law and treat your younger brothers and younger sisters kindly.”

“Mother and concubine, don’t worry, I know all about it.” The second princess said softly.

A few months later, Zhen’er gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a slightly frail daughter. Looking at her cat-like daughter, Zhen’er cried in distress.

“It’s all my fault that I failed to let her be born at full term.” Zhen’er cried.

“She is weak and weak, so I don’t want her big name first, so she’ll give her a nickname first, let’s call her Mao’er! Cats have nine lives, and so do our cats. She will definitely grow up safely.” Li Huairou comforted, “Brother has already People went to various temples and Taoist temples in Beijing to pray for our cats. They also made people build bridges and roads in the name of cats to help the victims. When the emperor went to sacrifice to heaven last time, he also mentioned cats. Don’t worry, God will bless the cat to be safe and sound.”

Under the love of everyone, the cat is still weak and often gets sick, but it still grows up slowly day by day.

When Mao’er was ten months old, Lu Yuanqi and the second princess got married. The princess mansion was built next to the Cheng’an mansion, but the princess has been living in the Cheng’an mansion since she got married.

When the cat was two years old, the princess became pregnant.

Nine months later, the princess gave birth to the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng’an, who was also the emperor’s first grandson. The emperor was so happy that he personally named his grandson Lu Chentao.

Three months later, the Nanfan invaded and the border was in a hurry. Lu Yuanqi volunteered to lead an army to the border to fight against the enemy. After defeating Nanfan, Lu Yuanqi did not return to Beijing with the army, but stationed at the border.

After the second princess entered the palace, she took the child and chased to the border.

Although the emperor was reluctant to part with his daughter, the second princess insisted, and Concubine De also agreed, so she had to go with her daughter.

Zhen’er is grateful for the second princess’s love for her son, and also sympathizes with Defei’s loving mother, and often visits Defei in the palace.

“Madam is here, sit down quickly and serve tea.” Concubine De was doing her needlework, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.

Zhen’er smiled, and put the cat down, “Mao’er, pay your respects to your mother.” The

cat saluted Concubine De and said hello.

“The cat is so obedient.” Concubine De said with a smile. “Hurry up, bring some snacks.”

“Have you not given the cat a name yet?” Concubine De asked with concern, “I see that the cat is getting better every day.”

“No hurry, the master said, wait for the cat .” After I’m ten years old, I’ll be named again.” Zhen’er said with a smile, “Look at my memory, it’s getting worse day by day. I came into the palace today to tell my mother about a happy event. Yesterday I received Qi My brother’s letter said that the second princess was born again. When I enter the palace today, one is to announce the good news to my mother, and congratulate my mother on becoming a grandmother again. In addition, I want to ask the emperor for a favor to send an imperial doctor and some seniors The nanny went over and brought the princess and Tao’er back. The border gates are rough after all, I’m afraid that the princess will be wronged.”

Concubine De was overjoyed, but she still shook her head, “Why bother mobilizing people, let the princess give birth at the border.” Concubine De had only the second princess and one daughter, so naturally she knew what was best for her daughter. Because the second princess went to the border, the court praised the second princess a lot, the emperor also praised the second princess, and named the second princess the eldest princess of Minghua.

“In terms of true love for daughters, I’m not as good as my mother.” Zhen’er said with a smile. When raising Brother Qi, she could still be a strict mother occasionally, but when facing the cat, she couldn’t be cruel no matter what. Even though she knew it was bad, she still couldn’t bear it.

“This also varies from person to person. The cat is not in good health, so naturally he should be pampered. He will grow up peacefully, and in the future he will find a gentle and honest man to marry. Under the protection of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, he will live a safe and smooth life, that’s all. ” Concubine De said with a smile.

Zhen’er nodded, “What you said is actually the same as what I thought.”

Who knows, the flames of war at the border have rekindled. The old king of Nanfan died, and after the new king succeeded to the throne, he was full of ambitions, united several small tribes around him, raised 100,000 troops, and tried to go north in one fell swoop.

The emperor’s most beloved children are all at the border, so naturally he will not sit idly by and immediately send troops to reinforce.

Concubine De seemed to have aged ten years overnight. She didn’t know what to do, so she could only chant scriptures in front of the Buddha all day long, praying for her daughter, son-in-law and grandson.

Lu Yuanqi’s second son was born amidst the flames of war.

When he was born, his father fought bravely on the battlefield, while his elder brother stood in front of the delivery room with a knife, looking forward with a firm expression.

The latest battle report and the news of Princess Minghua’s safe delivery reached the capital successively.

Zhen’er, who took her daughter to visit all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital, was finally relieved, and then fell ill.

Mao’er unexpectedly became sensible, helping to take care of his mother, comforting his father, and entertaining the female relatives who came to say hello and congratulations.

Li Huairou felt distressed and proud at the same time, stroking Mao’er’s braid, “Mao’er.”

Mao’er’s eyes turned red with grievance, “Uncle, I’m afraid!”

“Don’t be afraid. Uncle brings good news, your mother will be happy.” Li Huairou said. At her request, the emperor made her a military supervisor and went to the border to reward the three armies.

“Do you want to go with me? If you want to, get well quickly. If you don’t want to, just pretend I didn’t say it.” Li Huairou said.

“I’ll go! I’m fine, I’m ready!” Zhen’er immediately cheered up after hearing this.

In the end, Zhen’er, Lu Li and Mao’er followed Li Huairou to the border.

When he came back, Li Huairou was alone.

“Zhen’er said that the princess hurt her body during childbirth, so she needs to recuperate properly. She is not at ease when the two brothers are handed over to the nurse. Besides, she doesn’t want to worry about it. She wants to watch over her children and grandchildren, and the whole family will be together. I am bold, I agree on behalf of the emperor.” Li Huairou said.

The emperor sighed, “Forget it.” Then he looked at Li Huairou, “Big companion, you are the only one who stays with me.”

“As long as the emperor doesn’t dislike it, I will always be with the emperor.” Li Huairou smiled softly.

When the bad news came, the emperor’s hair turned gray overnight, and Li Huairou was in the same situation. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t accept this fact.

Li Huairou walked down trembling, took the baby from the nurse’s arms, this was Brother Qi’s youngest daughter, and hugged a few more children in his arms. The emperor also came over, touching the heads of the children one by one with trembling hands.

When the city was about to break down, Brother Qi ordered his men to send his parents, wife and children away, determined to die for the city, but the princess refused. Lu Li and Zhen’er escorted the children and left. After handing the children over to the people who came to meet them, they asked Maoer to take good care of their nephews and nieces, and resolutely went back.

Even if you die, you have to stay with your family.

The emperor chased Lu Yuanqi as the King of Loyalty and Yong, and Princess Minghua chased after Princess Minghua to protect the country. Lu Li and Zhen’er also had posthumous titles.

Lu Yuanqi’s eldest son, Lu Chentao, was named the King of Zhongyong, his second son, Lu Chenbo, was named the Duke of Zhen, and his youngest daughter, Lu Chenxi, was named the Lord of Anhua County. Maoer bestowed the name Lu Yuanhui and made her the princess of the □□ county. They are all raised in the palace.

When Lu Chentao grew up, he also joined the army and went to the border without hesitation. Lu Chenbo concentrated on his studies, took part in the imperial examination, and successfully became an official.

Lu Yuanhui never married in her whole life, she took care of her uncle and took care of her nephews and nieces. When Lu Chenxi was thirteen years old, the grandson proposed to marry her, and the emperor agreed after asking Lu Chenxi what she meant.

Because of this marriage, the second prince’s precarious position as prince was preserved.

After the grandson and Lu Chenxi got married, the emperor issued a decree to become the crown prince. At the same time, the grandson was named the prince, and the concubine was named the princess.

In the same year, Concubine Xian passed away. One month later, the Supreme Emperor passed away. Before he died, his children and grandchildren knelt on the ground. He took Li Huairou’s hand and said, “My companion, I am going to see Zhen’er first. Live well and take care of me.” Tao’er, Bo’er and Chen Xi.”

Li Huairou agreed with tears.

The Supreme Emperor took the Prince’s hand again, and told him to be filial to his companions and treat the Crown Princess well in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, otherwise he would die in peace.

The prince swears to the sky that he will live up to the entrustment of the Supreme Emperor.

Li Huairou lived to be more than ninety years old. After sending away the Supreme Emperor, he sent away the Empress Dowager, the Degui Dowager, the Emperor, and the cat. He looked at Lu Chentao and Lu Chenbo brothers, one literary and one military, complementing each other, getting married and having children, and a house full of children and grandchildren. Watching the prince succeed to the throne, Chenxi became the queen, gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and watched the empress love and harmony.

But Li Huairou also knew the crisis hidden behind Ronghua. The Lu family is in full swing, and will surely become the new emperor’s confidant in the future. Chen Xi’s three sons were not much different in age, and the eldest son became the prince because of his age advantage, and he couldn’t convince the public. The disaster of Xiao Qiang is inevitable in the future.

But she can’t control that much anymore, what needs to be said has already been said, and how the future will go depends on the children themselves.
