Chapter 64: She actually tried to steal his daughter
"Meat." Lu Li said it very clearly this time.
Xia Shuyi was now certain that her daughter could really speak.
"Little princess, do you want to eat meat? Not now. You can only drink some meat porridge and chicken soup at most." Lu Ran on the side smiled and refused her.
[It’s not me who wants to eat, it’s Yuanlunlun who wants to eat. ]
Lu Li was angry and waved her fist, trying to speak out everything in her heart, but failed.
I don’t know if it’s the will of heaven that has restricted her, but she has to be like a normal human baby. At this moment, she can only speak simple reduplicated words and cannot form complete sentences.
Xia Shuyi looked at her daughter's angry look and laughed until tears came out.
She kissed her daughter's little face and said with a smile, "Does our Li'er want to add some meat to the food prepared for the iron-eating beast?"
Lu Li's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
[Great! My mother still understands me! ]
"Then tell me, mother. If you shout it out, I will have someone send meat to the iron-eating beast." Xia Shuyi insisted that her daughter shout it out.
The first word a child learns is not "Dad and Mom", but "Rou Rou".
She was unwilling to accept it.
"Come, say it, mother!" Xia Shuying coaxed her daughter to call her.
Lu Li rolled her tongue twice, from "mu ah" to "mu ha" before finally saying "mother queen" in a clear and melodious voice.
Xia Shuyi was ecstatic.
"That's great! Our Li'er can call me mother now. She is such a smart baby." She hugged her daughter and kissed her several times.
Lu Yanshi just arrived at the Weiyang Palace.
Seeing that Lu Li was making Xia Shuyi smile by calling her "mother", she immediately became jealous.
What? The first person my daughter called wasn’t him.
"Xiaojiu, come here and call father." Lu Yanshi took Lu Li from the empress and held her in front of him.
Lu Li blinked and looked at him without saying anything.
She was already exhausted just by calling her "mother". She would be even more exhausted if she had to call her "father", which is a difficult word.
Lu Yanshi was confused. What was wrong with this kid? Why did he stop talking when he saw him?
He said patiently, "Xiaojiu, say, Father."
Lu Yanshi pointed at his own face and repeated, "Father."
"Yeah." Lu Li's baby voice came out.
Lu Yanshi was stunned.
The torn cotton-padded jacket is leaking again?
Is this taking advantage of him?
Want to be his father?
In order to suppress her laughter, Xia Shuyi's whole face turned red, and she dared not make any sound for fear of angering Lu Yanshi.
"Xiaojiu, don't be naughty. I am your father!" Lu Yanshi looked at his daughter unhappily.
Lu Li chuckled and called out "Husband King" in a flattering manner.
"It's father!" Lu Yanshi continued to correct it.
Only when Lu Li could call out "Father" clearly and clearly did he let her go with satisfaction and let her go out to play.
As for the fact that his daughter was the first to learn to call him mother, he didn't care. After all, the relationship between his daughter and her mother has always been particularly close.
When Xia Shuyi told him that the first word Lu Li learned was not "mother" but "rourou", Lu Yanshi's face turned black.
He is an emperor, but is he no better than a piece of meat?
Lu Yanshi felt jealous when he learned that Lu Li learned her first sentence after fighting for food for the iron beast.
He was so careful that he deducted half a month's food allowance from Yuantuntun.
Humph, you actually tried to snatch his daughter away from him. I’ll deduct half a month’s worth of flesh from you.
…
Time passed in a flash, and half a month later, the border army finally returned to the vicinity of the capital.
When Lu Yanshi heard the news, he changed his clothes early and prepared to go to the city gate to greet them.
This person is a meritorious contributor to Daxia and he cannot treat him badly.
【I want to go too, I want to go too! 】
How can such a lively place be without Lu Li?
Knowing that Lu Yanshi was going to welcome the returning troops, she started to make a fuss early in the morning.
He kept calling "Father, Father" in his ears.
The shouting gave Lu Yanshi a headache.
This little guy usually doesn't say a word when his father is called, but today he called his father all morning in order to go out and play.
"Stop, stop, stop. I'll take you there." Lu Yanshi signaled the servants to quickly change Lu Li's clothes.
"La la la!" Lu Li waved her hands to express her excitement.
Soon, Lu Li was dressed up.
To suit today's occasion, Lu Ran dressed herself up like a fortune-bringing doll, wearing a festive red skirt and two little buns on her head, looking very cute.
Lu Yanshi smiled and picked up his daughter.
"Let's go. Father will take you to welcome the good men of Da Xia."
[Hurry up, hurry up. I don't know how Concubine Shu is doing now. Is there a big change? 】
Lu Li couldn't wait to leave the palace.
When she mentioned Concubine Shu, Lu Yanshi's brows slightly wrinkled.
If people in the world knew that the army was led by a woman, who knows what kind of disturbance would occur.
Concubine Shu was smart and understood the general situation. She said that there was no need to disclose her identity. It was enough to say that she was from the Shen family army and was a student of General Shen.
But if he wanted to implement new policies, it was imperative for him to make Shufei's identity public.
【Wow, there are so many people! 】
Lu Li's inner voice interrupted his thoughts.
Lu Yanshi looked through the curtain she had opened and saw many civilians standing outside. They stood by voluntarily, waiting for the soldiers of Daxia to return with joy and pride on their faces.
"Hey, there's a child in the carriage. Who is it? So cute." Someone in the crowd saw Lu Li.
Everyone looked over as he said.
The guards immediately drew their swords and stopped the crowd that wanted to squeeze in.
"Inside the car are the emperor and the ninth princess. No one is allowed to approach. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude with my sword."
"Ninth Princess?"
The guard's words caused a commotion.
"Is that the Ninth Princess sitting in the carriage?"
"Of course I saw her. She was a very pretty girl."
The people were talking about it.
Lu Yanshi's heart suddenly began to hang in the balance.
These people won’t do anything to Xiaojiu, right?
He looked around vigilantly, afraid that someone might suddenly rush out and hurt Lu Li.
Unexpectedly, after a commotion, the people who were originally standing knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the carriage.
"Thank you, Ninth Princess, for praying for rain. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."
"May the Ninth Princess be blessed with good health!"
The blessings of the people were not clear at first, but gradually became uniform and the sound of blessings filled the entire street.
Lu Yanshi was stunned.
It turns out that they still remember Xiaojiu's achievements.
[Hey, please get up quickly. I'm so embarrassed to be so polite. ]
[For such a small matter as praying for rain, there is really no need to kowtow and express gratitude, or to perform such a grand ceremony. ]
Lu Li didn't expect that everyone liked her so much. Her face was red, like a ripe persimmon on a branch. She covered her face, feeling very shy.
Lu Yanshi laughed dumbly and reached out to touch his daughter's head.
This child doesn't know what a great thing she did.
That rain saved many people's lives.
Soon we arrived outside the city.
Lu Yanshi carried his daughter to the top of the city wall and waited for the army to return.
Civil and military officials also followed.
The army was approaching, and everyone looked at the young general riding a tall horse in the front.
Wait, this face looks familiar.
