"I am not young anymore, and I know exactly what my feelings are for Ruoxi. It's not mother-son love, but love."
Pei Yaozhou refuted General Luo's words with a firm look.
Luo Xuan highly agreed with the first half of Pei Yaozhou's words.
He had met the little emperor when he returned to Beijing to report on his work a few years ago. He was sure that it was still the same face, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he looked much more vicissitudes of life than before.
Could the blow of a nation's downfall really make a sixteen-year-old boy look like a twenty-something overnight?
But he didn't agree with the second half of the sentence at all.
"General Luo, I can promise you that I will only love Ruoxi in this life and will only grow old with her." Pei Yaozhou expressed his determination again.
Luo Xuan smiled wryly and muttered quietly, "Of course the emperor has three wives and four concubines. When you sit back in that position, even if you can stick to your promise, the ministers won't agree."
After saying this, Luo Xuan realized that his words were somewhat disrespectful. He thought the emperor would reprimand him, but he found that the emperor was not angry at all, and became even more serious.
"If General Luo doesn't believe me, I can swear that if I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning!"
These words really scared Luo Xuan.
Throughout history, he is probably the only one who can make the emperor swear such a poisonous oath in front of his ministers!
Could it be that the emperor really has a special liking for his precious daughter?
How is that possible!
Luo Xuan said, I don’t believe you!
However, the emperor had already sworn an oath, and he couldn't continue to offend the emperor unless he really didn't want to lose his head.
It's a pity for his life now. He finally found his precious daughter, but he hasn't had the chance to compensate her and enjoy family happiness with her. He can't lose his life easily.
It seems that if he wants to dispel the emperor's thoughts about his precious daughter, he will have to think carefully.
In the end, Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and sent the emperor and his precious daughter out of the tent. He arranged two rooms for them respectively in the inn in the city and sent several agile soldiers to protect them closely.
In this way, Your Majesty should be able to understand what he means and restrain himself, right?
However, General Luo Xuan felt very aggrieved that he could not meet his precious daughter at any time!
He was restless and fidgety the whole afternoon. In the evening, he could no longer hold it in, so he found a fast horse and went into the city.
On the other side, Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou returned to the city. Shen Ruoxi was packing her things when she heard a knock on the door.
Could it be that his father was worried and came after him?
With a creaky sound, Shen Ruoxi pushed the door open, and before she could react, she was embraced in a warm and solid embrace.
The familiar cold fragrance made Shen Ruoxi know who was coming without even looking up.
Shen Ruoxi smiled and spit out three words: "Clingy."
Pei Yaozhou's low laughter also came from above Shen Ruoxi's head: "I'm afraid I'll have to stick to you for the rest of my life. Tell me, what should I do if your father doesn't agree with us being together?"
Shen Ruoxi glanced at Pei Yaozhou with amusement: "Who told you to confess so quickly? If we proceed step by step and let him accept us little by little, I guess he won't object so strongly."
"He is your father. I want his approval. I don't want to hide it from him, and I don't want to keep a distance from you in front of others all the time." Pei Yaozhou's low and hoarse voice, along with the vibration of his chest, entered Shen Ruoxi's ears.
Shen Ruoxi's heartbeat slightly accelerated. Where on earth did Pei Yaozhou learn these words that made her blush and her heart beat faster?
Under the moonlight, the air was filled with mist, and the two couldn't help but hug and kiss each other.
Such a warm and sweet scene was seen through the window by General Luo, who was riding a horse and had a lot to say. It was like a bolt from the blue.
The cold wind and sand blew randomly on his face.
Woo woo woo, his precious daughter is innocent and adorable, it must be that pig emperor who made the first move!
The next day, Shen Ruoxi was awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Then there was a knock on the door and a soldier's voice: "Princess, are you awake? The general has something and ordered us to come and give it to you."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi instantly woke up and hurriedly responded: “I haven’t washed up yet, wait a moment!”
It’s all Pei Yaozhou’s fault. He kept her awake until late at night, and only then did she sleep until now.
She turned her head to look at the culprit and saw that there was no panic on the man's face. He was twisting her hair and sniffing it gently under his nose.
Shen Ruoxi was a little anxious: "Hurry up and get up! If someone sees us and tells my dad, believe it or not, he'll be the first to rebel and kill you!"
Pei Yaozhou immediately switched to aggrieved expression: "Are you willing to do that?"
Shen Ruoxi was so angry that she laughed: “I can’t bear it, but my dad can!”
Finally, Pei Yaozhou climbed through the window and returned to his room, and Shen Ruoxi opened the door.
I thought my father sent someone to bring me some daily necessities, but I didn't expect that it was an army that came. Everyone was holding something in their hands and standing in a long line at the door.
There are useful clothes and food, which are common items in the capital, but they are rare in this desert city on the border.
"What is this?" Shen Ruoxi asked in surprise.
The soldier smiled and explained, "These were sent by the people of the city. They heard that the general had found his long-lost daughter, and they all expressed their love for you in their own way."
"The general said that since it was given to you by the people, let us bring it to you and do with it as you please."
Shen Ruoxi was originally wondering why her father would accept these things, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she understood.
This was probably her father's good intention, wanting her to leave a good impression among the people and the army.
"I have received everyone's kindness, but the things must be returned."
After Shen Ruoxi finished speaking, the soldiers all looked at the people gathered at the door with embarrassment.
"Gou'er, this is something I prepared for the princess. If you dare to bring it back, I'll break your legs!"
"You little bastard, I asked you, a princess, to deliver something, but you can't do it right. I think you should stop being a soldier and hinder the general. Come back and carry sandbags!"
"Dazhu, listen to Daddy. Deliver the things to Daddy no matter what he says!"
Shen Ruoxi was stunned. It seemed different from what she had imagined.
She now suspected that her father did not want her to improve his favorability here, but simply wanted to throw the hot potato to her!
At this time, some people among the people also began to shout.
"The princess and the general both care about the people, but the princess must accept these things. The general has been injured for us, and we would feel guilty if you didn't accept them!"
"Yes, Princess, you must accept these things. Otherwise, even if you return them, we won't want them."
"That's right. If the princess doesn't accept it today, we will send it tomorrow!"
