After Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian went down, Zhu Wu was a little worried: "They won't delay things, right?"

Xu Guanzhong also said: "The establishment of these three armies is too short. Can they take the army to Hebei to discuss, or else, wait for Wang Yan?"

Li Yandao: "You don't know Yue Pengju? If he is not short of soldiers, why would he ask for help?"

Li Yan said again leisurely: "Furthermore, the war opportunity is fleeting, so we must not delay it."

Zhu Wu hesitated and said, "But Wang De and Wu Ge's team has only been established for three days..."

Li Yan looked at Zhu Wu, and said, "When we raided Kaijing, how many troops were formed temporarily? My army of one thousand soldiers suddenly expanded into tens of thousands."

Hearing Li Yan mention the past, Zhu Wu couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I'm old, and I'm a little timid."

Li Yan also smiled and said, "Yes, we are old, so we have to trust the young people more, so that when we retire, the country will not perish because there are no follow-up talents."

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "I'm old. The officials look in the mirror and say that you are 20 years old. No one will believe you, so you are still young."

Xu Guanzhong also said: "That's right, the official, you are really talented, no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that you are already 36 years old."

Li Yandao: "You two have also learned how to flatter horses? Don't think that we can slack off after the founding of the country. This land of the Central Plains is only ours. There are enemies in all directions. It is still long before the swords and guns are put into storage and the horses are released on Nanshan. very."

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu looked at each other and smiled.

What they are most afraid of is that Li Yan will slack off, then they will give up halfway and their dreams will be shattered.

Now it seems that their worries are completely superfluous, Li Yan has been very vigilant.

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Although the two of us are not as young as you, the official family, we are only 40 to [-] years old, and we are going to retire very early. We are still waiting to leave your name in the official family's history. How dare we slack off?"

The three monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other's pursuit and dreams.

……

Li Yan approved the memorial for a while, and did not return to the harem until Xushi, which was the residence of Zhu Lian and others who he named "Song Palace" in the future.

Compared with yesterday, today's Song Palace is much more lively, and there are one or two hundred more palace maids alone.

Obviously, Zhu Lian and the others have found their original maid.

After the maids came, Zhu Lian's former nanny in charge took them to clean up the Song Palace inside and out, and asked the maid in charge of the palace for a lot of potted plants and decorations to decorate the Song Palace.

As a result, Song Gong quickly changed greatly, and Zhu Lian and others felt more at ease.

When it was getting dark, a female official came to inform Zhu Lian: The official family will rest with you tonight.

After receiving this notice, the court ladies worked harder, and some scheming secretly went to touch up their makeup, hoping to be spotted by the new officials, and then fly to the branches and become phoenixes.

As soon as it got dark, Zhu Lian led the people in Song Palace to welcome Li Yan at the door.

But after waiting for two hours in a row, Li Yan came back.

Although it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is still very cold. Standing outside for two hours has frozen many people to death.

The point is, many people thought that Li Yan would not come to their Song Palace, and they were very disappointed.

Zhu Lian didn't know whether she should wait any longer, and she didn't dare to send someone to ask. After all, today is different, and she and Li Yan are just married, and they haven't figured out Li Yan's temperament yet.

It was not until Xushi that a female official came to inform Zhu Lian and the others: the official's house will be here soon.

Not long after, Li Yan came over supported by a large group of people.

Seeing that Zhu Lian and other people from the Song Palace were waiting for him at the door, all of them were flushed with cold, obviously standing outside for a long time, Li Yan blamed: "What are you doing, I just came here to sleep , don’t make it so grand.”

Zhu Lian couldn't help but said: "The official Shen Shi sent someone to notify, but I didn't expect Xu Shi to come back."

Li Yan heard a trace of resentment and a trace of coldness in Zhu Lian's words.

Li Yan untied his cloak, put it on Zhu Lian, and walked into the palace with his arms around Zhu Lian, explaining: "I didn't expect you to wait for me outside, so I will give a memorial if I approve more. There is no need to be so grand, I will have someone notify you before I come, and if you have anything to do, you can also send someone to ask me."

The act of Li Yan taking off his cloak and putting it on her warmed Zhu Lian's heart, and he said, "He is not as barbaric as I imagined."

Li Yan returned his arms and hugged Concubine Zhu Shende again, and said: "I only have two hands, so I can't give everyone warmth, so everyone hurry up and enter the house, once you enter the house, you will be warm."

After speaking, Li Yan ran into the house with Zhu Lian and Concubine Zhu Shende in his arms, a bit like a child, not at all like a 36-year-old emperor.

This made the women who had seen the extremely rigid Zhao Huan feel the difference, but at the same time felt a little funny, and also realized the difference between Li Yan and Zhao Huan.

Many younger women, like Zhe Miaomiao, also followed Li Yan into the house.

Of course, there are still quite a few stable ones. Although they also feel extremely cold, they still walked into the house in a well-behaved manner.

After entering the house, Zhe Miaomiao and other women who came in with Li Xi regretted their lack of stability just now, fearing that Li Yan would hate them for being unruly, and some even feared that Li Yan would punish them.

Unexpectedly, not only did Li Yan not blame them, but he also personally propped up the curtain for them so that they could come in quickly.

After everyone entered the room, Li Yan asked, "Didn't you eat?"

All the girls were silent.

When Li Yan saw this, he understood, and then said to the female official Shangshi: "Go and get my copper pot, let's eat boiled mutton today."

Instant-boiled mutton originally started in the Yuan Dynasty, but it was Li Yan who forcibly made it appear 200 years earlier.

The female officer of Shangshi, that is, Li Jiaren, smiled and said: "The concubine guessed that the official family wants to eat boiled mutton today, so I prepared it for the official family early, and it will be ready in about a stick of incense."

Li Yan pinched Li Jiaren's little nose, and said, "You know my stomach best."

After Li Jiaren went down to prepare a hot pot meal, Zhe Miaomiao couldn't help being curious and asked, "What is hot-boiled mutton?"

Li Yan replied: "Just cut the mutton into pieces as thin as paper, and then rinse them in boiling water, or you can cook some seafood together."

Zhe Miaomiao blurted out: "This...is it edible?"

Many people were surprised, thinking that Zhe Miaomiao had said the wrong thing, and some people were even ready to gloat.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "You will know how delicious it is after a while, I guarantee you will eat it this time and think about it next time."

Zhe Miao Miao said: "Really?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "True, false, you will know in a while."

suddenly!

Li Yan remembered who Zhe Miaomiao was, and said, "You were the one who shouted 'I'm going to fly' or 'I'm going to fly' last night?"

Zhe Miao Miao blushed, and said in shame: "Yes."

Li Yan smiled 'haha', then hugged Zhe Miao Miao and kissed him deeply, and said, "Why are you ashamed, I really like how you looked yesterday."

Zhe Miao Miao said happily: "The official likes me?"

Li Yan didn't show his back, and said: "I like it, by the way, what's your name?"

Hearing Li Yan's own admission that he likes Zhe Miaomiao, everyone around him envied Zhe Miaomiao, thinking that Zhe Miaomiao was about to rise to the top.

Zhe Miaomiao was also happy, and immediately replied: "My name is Zhe Miaomiao."

Li Yandao: "The surname is 'Zhe'? What is your relationship with the Fuzhou Zhe family?"
