Lu Chen was still a little tired when he got up in the morning. He sat in front of the table and ate his breakfast bit by bit, while listening to the reports from his subordinates.
"Gondor has done nothing else these past ten days, immersing himself in our business all day. It is said that he came to his senses a couple of days ago, feeling that he had wasted his time, and then went back the next day."
After listening to Mou Ping's report, Lu Chen nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Very good. Increase the efforts. Give him whatever he wants and delay as long as possible. No matter what plan they have, as long as there is not enough time to implement it, it will be a failure."
Li Mingyue, who was sitting nearby, brought a bun to Lu Chen and said, "Ah, my husband is so busy. He has to worry about everything in the world all day long. It makes me sad to see him. Normally, this kind of thing should be handled by my royal brother, but you see he is obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
Although she said she was angry, everyone could see that Li Mingyue was in a very good mood.
Come to think of it, her man is so capable, he is almost second to none in this country, so what else can she be dissatisfied with?
By the way, Lu Chen was at the Princess's Mansion today listening to Mou Ping's work report.
Yes, he and Li Mingyue no longer do things behind people's backs.
Mou Ping nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll go tell Ding San right away and ask him to serve you well."
"Don't be so anxious. I guess Gondor hasn't woken up yet. You haven't eaten yet, right? Sit down and have some together. These fresh shepherd's purse buns are delicious."
"Oh, I dare not..." Mou Ping nodded and bowed hurriedly. Not only Lu Chen was here, but also Li Mingyue, a national teacher and a princess, their identities were so noble.
Look at him again, he is just a criminal. Even when facing ordinary people, he is three points shorter, let alone in front of these two.
At this time, Li Mingyue said impatiently: "If I tell you to sit down, then sit down quickly. Why do you have so many bad habits? We have seen everything you do all day long. It is indeed hard work. I told the Imperial Master before that I would take you away from Li Xiang after the baby in my belly is born."
"Li Xiang is about to become an adult, and there won't be many places where he can use you. You can still help us take care of the children."
Upon hearing this, Mou Ping was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
It is true that he is Li Xiang's man, but he has not served Li Xiang for a long time. He has been following Lu Chen to do things during this period, and the position next to Li Xiang has long been filled by someone else.
Some time ago, he was worried. If Lu Chen no longer needed him in the future, would he be able to return to Li Xiang? Would Li Xiang still value him as much as before?
Now Li Mingyue's words solved the problem.
He would be absolutely willing to continue taking care of the little prince or princess.
Even though they are all princes, there are differences between them.
To be frank, the child in Li Mingyue's belly is not as noble as others, let alone princes and princesses, even ordinary princes and princesses are not as noble as them.
Look at his parents, he has been a person who walks sideways since he was born.
Taking care of such a person is the blessing that Mouping has earned in several lifetimes.
Mou Ping also noticed that Lu Chen and Li Mingyue found him easy to use and were planning to train him as a retainer.
This was a face-saving gesture for him, so he had to take it seriously. So he carefully sat down, with half his buttocks hanging in the air. He reached out, grabbed a bun, took a bite, and exclaimed in amazement, "Master, at this time of year, there's still shepherd's purse?"
"I'm the Imperial Master, but you keep calling me Immortal. How can I not show off my skills? This little bit is nothing. There are so many fresh vegetables in the greenhouse. You can pick them yourself when you want to eat them."
Just as a few people were chatting, Ma Tong walked in from outside, bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you!"
"Who?"
"Someone from the military!"
"Um?"
Lu Chen and Li Mingyue looked up at the same time, looking at Ma Tong with a puzzled look, which made Ma Tong feel uncomfortable all over.
There was a reason why Lu Chen and Li Mingyue looked at each other like that. This was the princess's residence, and it was inappropriate for Lu Chen to be here so early in the morning.
Although everyone in the capital now knows that Lu Chen and Li Mingyue have some relationship, there are many things that are better left unknown!
It was bad enough that they were blocked here so early in the morning, but now the people blocking them were from the military, which was even more excessive.
Although Sheng Endan is very popular in the army, and although Lu Chen has a very good relationship with Cui Shanzhan, he has never had direct contact with anyone in the military.
After all, it is the army, which is a very sensitive thing. Since ancient times, every emperor has attached great importance to military power.
Even Li Mingyue could see that his power in Da Qi was now enormous. If he did not restrain himself, he would sooner or later arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Don’t worry about Li Zhuo’s personality. No matter how good his character is, he is still the emperor. The First Emperor cares about the power in his hands and has to be wary of the people under him.
Normally, if someone from the military came to visit, Ma Tong should have sent them away directly. Why did he come in to report now? Don't you realize the trouble this is causing?
Ma Tong smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, we were planning to drive them away, but before we could do anything, they knelt down. We brothers don't know what to do..."
"Is this really true?"
Lu Chen's curiosity was also aroused. What was going on with the military? What did it mean that they just knelt down as soon as they arrived? Didn't he remember that he had such a big face?
Li Mingyue, who was standing by, said worriedly, "Husband, do you want me to send someone to send them away?"
Lu Chen thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since they are already kneeling outside, I should go out and take a look. After all, they are all good men who have shed blood for our Great Qi. I can't let them feel disappointed."
"My husband is truly understanding. I'll have someone prepare some more food. We can't just let them go back without even having a meal."
Lu Chen nodded and walked to the front. Mou Ping grabbed a bun and threw it to Ma Tong, and the two of them hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the door, which was open, Lu Chen saw a group of men in armor kneeling there.
Seeing Lu Chen coming out, someone shouted, "The Imperial Master has come out!" Then all of them looked up and stared at him with burning eyes, like a large fan meeting.
Lu Chen was so frightened that he took a step back. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and asked, "What are you doing?"
