In front of the gate of Prince Huan's Mansion, the butler Zhou Bo, who had been notified early, was waiting outside with his servants. Beside him, she was dressed in an apricot yellow spring dress. The gentle and charming Wen Wan'er was pinching her handkerchief and leading the way. , Excited and joyful on the delicately made-up face.

"Welcome the prince back to the mansion!" Uncle Zhou walked down the steps quickly, leading the dozen or so wives from behind to kneel down and salute.

"Get up." Xiao Huan waved his hands and got off his horse, handed the reins to Yi Xing, and led the young man to the gate. The two of them nodded at the huge crowd, turned around and entered the mansion, and the crowd outside gradually dispersed. go.

Finally sitting on the soft sandalwood seat, Li Ru'an took a big breath, took the tea from Uncle Zhou's hand, smiled politely, and waited for the people to leave, then turned around and changed his face, gnashing his teeth.

"Xiao Jizhi!"

Xiao Huan put down the tea bowl, raised his hand to pick a petal from her hair, and explained with a smile, "I didn't expect your name to be so famous in Beijing, it should be Hong Tao's masterpiece, but think about it, Li Kui In the future, you can walk in and out freely in the capital, but Li Ru'an is not very convenient, right?"

"Then you don't have to say it in front of everyone. I can feel how Yi Xing and the others feel today. It's so tiring!"

After walking for an hour from the city gate to the palace, she was too embarrassed to take out a water bag to drink in front of everyone. Li Ru'an took another sip of tea before looking at the empty main house of the palace. , Even the decorations, paintings, and braziers are all the same.

"Why is this room empty? Have you spent all your money? Or wait for me to buy it for you?"

puff!Yi Xing, who just stepped in, laughed, and Shi 75 behind him had a weird expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, the girl is mighty!
"Ahem, general, Hong Tao and Song Qi are asking to see you."

"Well, let them in." Xiao Huan touched his nose with a smile, and lowered his magnetic voice, "You are the princess of the mansion, so of course you will buy it."

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows and nodded, stood up and looked left and right, really thinking about where to put those good things in the warehouse of An Ran Pavilion.

"General, Brother Li!"

A loud and rough voice came, and Hong Tao strode into the room, followed by the handsome and elegant Song Qi.

"Haha, it can be regarded as coming back. The subordinate will return to the northern border in a few days. I thought I would miss it!"

"General Hong and Song Junshi have been promoted, Li Kui congratulates here." Li Ru'an stood up and cupped his hands, maintaining his cool and polite personality.

"Haha, brother Li is easy to talk about! I told the holy majesty that the biggest contributor is you. Now that you return to Beijing, you will be rewarded with high promotion!" Hong Tao stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder, laughing heartily.

Yi Xing and the others glanced at the frozen master, bowed their heads silently, and prayed for General Hong.

"All sit down."

A chilly wind blew past, and Hong Tao trembled in doubt, "Why is it cold again today..."

"General, Yue Feng is dead. His subordinates and Yi Feng have cleared up all his dark lines in central Beijing and the northern border, and according to your instructions, the dark net base has been transferred to Xishu." Song Qi clasped his hands and reported.

Xiao Huan nodded. He set up the dark net in Beijing before because he was guarding against the emperor. Now that the previous suspicions have been cleared, it is natural that he should withdraw from this power center.

The official business is over, the atmosphere is relaxed, a few people chatted and laughed and talked about interesting things, Hong Tao looked at Li Kui and said with a smile, "I saw an imperial doctor in the palace that day, his face was very similar to that of Brother Li, I thought it was Brother Li's family , but he said he didn’t know Li Kui, it’s really strange, why do I look more and more like him!”

"It's not surprising that people are similar. General Hong, I admire your eloquence. Thanks to you, Li Kui is well-known." Li Ru'an gave him a cool look.

Nervous Hong Tao laughed, full of pride, "Of course, Brother Li's battle skills were amazing, how could it not spread the word and boost my morale!"

"Also, where is your residence, Brother Li? I'm going to visit some other day!"

"He is from Xishu, and his family is over there." Xiao Huan said calmly, thinking about what he needed to do in the north.

"Xishu? Brother Li doesn't have a mansion in Beijing? It's kind of you, come and live in my mansion! You can stay as long as you want!" Unaware of the imminent disaster, Hong Tao patted his chest with pride and laughed loudly.

"He lives in the palace of the prince and doesn't go anywhere. Hong Tao, you pack up and go back to the northern border tomorrow, and go and plant trees on both sides of the mountains backed by the barracks. It must be done as soon as possible." Xiao Huan raised the corners of his mouth and spoke calmly.

"Planting trees? The general said that the mountains on both sides must be planted?" Hong Tao was stunned, scratching his head and exclaiming, how big is that project?

"Yes, it will be planted within a year."

"what?"

----

At nightfall, after driving away the crowd who still wanted to have dinner, Xiao Huan's ears became much clearer, and Shi Shiran sipped the mellow and lingering mist eyebrow tea.

"You asked Hong Tao to plant trees because you thought Lisang Huoyun Mountain would erupt again?" Li Ru'an walked back and sat down next to him, looking at him thoughtfully, "But did you notice that there was an earthquake?"

"Just be prepared." Xiao Huan held a celadon round pot in his slender hands and poured her a cup of tea, smiling slightly, "I'll have someone prepare meals, and I'll show you the yard later. There are two places next to my main yard. Which one do you like to live in?"

Li Ru'an glanced at him, "I really thought I was Li Kui. During today's battle, Ah Ren and the others must know that I'm coming back, but they don't want to be thought that they didn't come to look for you because of your Lord Huan's power. I'm going back too. "

"Come back tomorrow..."

"My lord."

A soft and affectionate female voice came, and Wen Wan'er came into the room with a few snacks, and bowed to the two of them, with a gentle and tender smile, and her eyes were always glued to Xiao Huan.

"My lord, Mr. Li, the journey is tiring, so let's use some snacks to cushion your stomach first. This is made by Wan'er herself."

This look is quite familiar, Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the man whose face darkened in an instant, and rubbed his chin to watch the show.

"When did the rules in the house let you make your own decisions? Get out." Xiao Huan frowned, his tone cold and indifferent.

Wen Wan'er's face was stiff, with tears in her eyes, she was so pitiful, she took a deep breath, stepped forward and put down the small tray, and said softly, "My lord, the empress dowager appointed Wan'er to serve the lord in the mansion. What Wan'er was supposed to do, Wan'er withdrew."

"Is this what Yi Xing said, Wen Wan'er?" Li Ru'an asked curiously when he saw people backing out because of grievances. Damn, there is such a little relationship, and she entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother at a very young age, and her eldest sister is Wen Yulan, the wife of the right prime minister Han Zong.

"I am happy. After the emperor gave the mansion, I refused the servants arranged by the Ministry of Rites. The queen mother sent people from the palace because she was afraid that there would be too few people in my mansion. Take it back." Xiao Huan frowned, when did Yi Xing tell her these unnecessary things.

"Oh." Li Ru'an didn't make a fuss, looked at the sky outside and stood up, "I'm going back, Ah Ren and the others must be waiting impatiently."

"Ru'an." Xiao Huan stood up, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "I will send him back to the palace right now..."

Seeing him frowning and hesitating, Li Ru'an couldn't stop laughing, "What, you think I'm angry? I don't have that much free time. If you really want to take in a concubine, who can stop you? It's already late, I should go, I have to go in tomorrow The palace is taking care of His Majesty's illness, so let's go."

Seeing that she really didn't mean to be angry, Xiao Huan heaved a sigh of relief while regretting, "I'll take you back."

"No, Miss Li has been staying at home. You are too eye-catching. Don't let me be discovered. See you tomorrow." Li Ru'an waved his hand and smiled, and the person had already walked out.

"Twelve, go and follow." Xiao Huan sat down with a slight sigh, and said lightly, a black figure flashed outside the door.

"Ah Jiu, tell me about the situation in Beijing during this period."

Another black shadow flashed in and stood still. The man's ordinary face was solemn and cold, and he bowed his head, "Yes, General."
