Chapter 356: Unable to resist

The Regent Prince Zhao Defang rode on his precious horse, escorting the little emperor on the jade sedan beside him through the city gate and all the way to the palace.

The civil and military officials in the Daqing Hall were in high spirits, and they praised the Regent Prince and the generals who had made extraordinary achievements. Even the surrendered general Li Yuanhao, the ruler of Xixia, was praised by the officials.

The matter of meritorious service and reward would be discussed another day. Without the participation of the Regent Prince, the little emperor and the important officials of the court would not discuss this issue on their own initiative.

Regent Prince Zhao Defang was anxious to go home, so he perfunctorily accompanied the emperor and the civil and military officials to celebrate the victory. He did not even eat the celebration banquet, and then said goodbye to the emperor and went home. The

Regent Prince's Mansion was decorated with lights and streamers, and the servants in the mansion walked briskly, with everyone's face full of joy. Butler Zhao did not restrain them these days, and even this mature and prudent butler could not help wanting to jump up and down, let alone these young people.

As servants of the Regent Prince's Mansion, if they were recognized on the street, those noble officials would show respect and courtesy, and ordinary people would give them the greatest respect and honor. Every servant, maid, and maidservant was extremely proud of being a member of the Regent Prince's Mansion.

Fortunately, although the princess was very kind and easygoing to her servants, she would never allow anyone in the Regent Prince's Palace to bully the people or damage the reputation of the palace. The Empress Dowager who lived in the palace also repeatedly warned that anyone who dared to do anything that damaged the reputation of the palace would be severely punished.

A woman who managed the palace's miscellaneous affairs was punished by the Empress Dowager for 20 strokes of the cane and expelled from the palace because she protected her nephew's family and others' business and used the name of the Regent Prince's Palace to intimidate the other party.

As a result, although the servants of the Regent Prince's Palace were proud and arrogant in their hearts, they behaved in a disciplined manner when they went out. After all, the chance to enter the Regent Palace as a servant also requires several lifetimes of luck accumulated during reincarnation.

Luo Li has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. After accidentally falling, she had a miscarriage and has been under the watchful eyes of the Grand Empress Dowager and Madam Luo to rest in bed.

The maids who were sent out to watch the triumphant army enter the city came back one after another, reporting the unprecedented scene to the princess lying on the bed, the Grand Empress Dowager and Madam Luo sitting next to her.

Yingxue ran in happily and bowed hastily. : "Grand Empress Dowager, Princess, Madam Luo, the prince has left the palace and is on his way back to the palace!"

Luo Li sat up, "I knew Zhao Defang would not stay in the palace for the celebration banquet tonight. Look, he is in a hurry to go home before it gets dark."

The Grand Empress Dowager and Madam Luo, who were sitting by the bed and monitoring her, hurriedly and carefully pushed her down on the bed.

"Li'er, don't move!" Madam Luo was so anxious that her tone was a little heavy.

"Li'er, be good! Listen and take good care of the baby. Zhao Defang will be in front of you soon. Don't get upset again. Just lie in bed and wait, okay?" Knowing the bad temper of her silly daughter-in-law who would only take soft measures but not hard ones, the Grand Empress Dowager used her tactics very skillfully.

Luo Li gave a helpless smile. Ever since she accidentally fell and got pregnant, she had become the object of strict protection and supervision by her mother and mother.

It had been more than half a month. Not only was she forced to drink several doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine, but she was not even allowed to get out of bed. Her mother, who was used to doting on her daughter, changed her tactics and gave her orders in a coercive manner. The Empress Dowager, on the other hand, coaxed her with soft words every day like a plea. The two tactics were used in turn. Luo Li could only raise her hands and surrender and obey.

Seeing her daughter-in-law lying down obediently, the Empress Dowager smiled with her eyes curved. She picked up the orange beside her, peeled it with her own hands, and handed a segment to her daughter-in-law's mouth, "Li'er, be good, eat another segment of orange. It's sweet and sour and delicious."

Luo Li obediently opened her mouth, took the orange segment in her mouth, and put it in her mouth. While she was chewing it, but hadn't swallowed it yet, a peeled lychee was handed to her mouth. The stern tone of her mother, Madam Luo, who pretended to be stern, rang in her ears, "Li'er, open your mouth and eat this lychee!"

Luo Li quickly swallowed the orange segment, opened her mouth and bit the lychee again, looking forward to the end of today's feeding as soon as possible.

Seeing Tingting walking in with a plate of freshly baked sesame cakes with a smile on her face, Luo Li spat out the lychee seeds in her mouth and wailed, "Oh!... Mother, mother, I really don't want to eat anymore!"

Madam Luo quickly reached out to catch the lychee seeds, and her tense face couldn't help but break the tension. She laughed, "Li'er, isn't it your good quality to be lazy and love to eat? You have liked to be lazy and do nothing since you were a child, and you like to eat delicious snacks. Now you are lying in bed, eating all kinds of delicious snacks, isn't it just realizing your ideal? Why are you still in a bad mood?"

"Mother, I like to be lazy and do nothing, I like to eat all kinds of delicious snacks, and I also like to play freely!" Luo Li couldn't help but protest.

"Li'er! What happened to you?" An anxious, worried, nervous and distressed voice came in, and Zhao Defang's figure instantly appeared beside the bed.

Regent Prince Zhao Defang returned to the palace with full of expectation and longing, but found that the person he cared about most was missing from the crowd waiting at the door. He

asked the housekeeper on the horse and learned that the princess accidentally fell half a month ago, had a miscarriage, and was bedridden. He didn't care about the group of people kneeling on the ground to greet him, and used his lightness skills to fly over the palace wall and headed straight for Ning Xinyuan.

The person she had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of her. Luo Li felt a sore nose and tears flashed in an instant. She said aggrievedly: "Zhao Defang, if you don't come back, I will be raised by my mother and mother to be a lazy and fat sow!"

Seeing that his beloved wife was fine and even had time to act coquettishly and make jokes, Zhao Defang felt relieved. He

hurriedly bowed to his mother and mother-in-law. "Mother, mother-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

The Empress Dowager and Madam Luo, who were startled by Zhao Defang's sudden appearance, stood up from the bed.

"My son, how can you suddenly appear at home by performing Qinggong? It's okay if you scared us, but if you scare Li'er and frighten the baby in her belly, you will regret it!" The Empress Dowager pulled Madam Luo out and scolded her son.

Madam Luo turned back and warned him, "Your Highness, Li'er has a miscarriage and needs to stay in bed. You can't..." She swallowed the rest of the words.

Zhao Defang bowed awkwardly to the two elders, and Luo Li laughed so hard that she was about to roll over holding her belly.

The maids serving in the room also knelt down and bowed to the prince and left.

Zhao Defang sat on the bed, gently scratching his beloved wife's nose with great affection, "Naughty! Stop laughing, the two elders are mad and run away."

Luo Li squeezed her eyes mischievously and said teasingly, "Zhao Defang, what does my mother want to warn you about?"

Zhao Defang gently held his naughty wife's hand and answered angrily, "Isn't it just that I must endure the pain of missing you and not have sex with you, so as not to get pregnant?"

Luo Li smiled and seduced, "Kissing is still okay."

Zhao Defang's heart fluttered, looking at the seductive red lips, lowered his head, and kissed softly...

"Dad!..."

Zhao Wubing, who was waiting at the door with everyone to welcome his father, saw that his heroic father ignored him and used Qinggong to fly into the house, and hurriedly ran after him. Yingchun, the

maid who smiled and opened her arms to meet him at the door, swiftly slipped under his arm, panting, with sweat on her flushed face, and stepped into the door.

The Regent Prince, who had just touched his wife's seductive lips and gently sucked them, quickly withdrew his lips, sat up straight, turned around and looked at his precious son's dark eyes awkwardly, "Lin'er, your mother...she...she has a toothache in her mouth, daddy will blow it for her."
