Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

During this period, the imperial city was not peaceful. There were fewer people walking on the streets, and the city seemed much more depressed.

At this critical moment, Lu Yuan didn't dare to hold a grand celebration. He only asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet to welcome Su Changliang's family.

On this day, Su Liyan dressed up beautifully and wore a long red dress.

Seeing how beautiful her daughter was, Su Liyan's mother praised her, "Our uncle is so good to you. Look how he has raised our daughter to be so fair and beautiful."

Whether a woman is happy in her marriage can be seen from her mental state after marriage.

A happy woman, after marriage, still has the spirit of a little girl, confident and generous.

An unhappy woman becomes like a different person after marriage, even her skin will become much worse.

If a person is in a bad mood or is depressed for a long time, it is easy to cause endocrine disorders, resulting in dry skin and freckles on the face.

Speaking of which, Su Liyan hasn't seen her family for half a year.

Xiaoqian's son Su Zonglin is two years old.

I haven't seen him for half a year. The chubby little boy has become thinner and started to grow taller.

As the boy starts to grow taller, his body will become thinner.

Su Zonglin's personality is very similar to Su Changliang's, he is gentle, quiet and dislikes crowds.

During the meal, Su Zonglin always snuggled in Xiaoqian's arms, and his eyebrows looked more like Xiaoqian.

Su Zonglin always looked at everyone curiously, without saying a word, just watching.

Su Liyan teased, "Our Su family's handsome boy, luckily he only takes after his father in character, but luckily he takes after his mother in looks."

When Su Changliang heard his sister's words, he just pouted and thought to himself, "You're not that good-looking either. I think I'm pretty handsome."

Su Changliang only dared to think this in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Su Liyan's mother also chimed in: "She looks like our Xiaoqian, she's very pretty!"

The arrival of Su Changliang's family made Su Liyan very happy.

Everyone gathered around a table and chatted for a long time.

That night, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan lay flat on the bed.

Su Liyan drank a lot of wine, her little face was flushed, and she was too excited to sleep.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Lu Yuan looked at Su Liyan and asked:
"Wife, we have been in the Imperial City for two or three years. It is time to leave this place."

When the Shenling Empire attacked Japan, the court needed Lu Yuan to command the troops of the imperial guards to defend the imperial city, so Lu Yuan came to the imperial city.

Your Majesty the Emperor said that the court must create something that is ahead of the world, and Lu Yuan provided technical support without hesitation.

As the prince consort of the emperor, hasn't Lu Yuan done anything he is told in the past few years?
Lu Yuan thought that since he had married the emperor's daughter and had done a lot of practical things for the emperor, he did not owe the emperor anything.

Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and Lu Yuan intends to return home.

"Where are we going? Will the emperor let you go?" Su Liyan was startled by the sudden topic and asked.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and continued, "Wife, don't you feel it? The Imperial City has not been peaceful recently."

The imperial city is now full of Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei who were originally scattered throughout the empire also returned to the imperial city one after another.

These Jinyiwei would enter ordinary people's homes from time to time to search and also arrested a number of officials.

The Jinyiwei of the Southern Pacification Office was particularly excessive. They relied on the servants raised in the spirit-binding device to spy on the official residences of the imperial city at will.

Su Liyan could naturally feel these changes.

Just a few days ago, several Taoists with hundreds of years of experience climbed onto the roof of the mansion, but were scared away by Su Liyan's eyes.

Since Zhao Feng, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, went to Qiancheng to rescue the prince last time, Lu Yuan has never seen him return.

Even if he died in battle, the court should have been informed.

The commander of the Jinwu Guard, Zhao Feng, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan continued to discuss and said, "Why not take this opportunity to go back to Taining City with my family? It's almost Qingming Festival, and we have to go home to worship our ancestors."

Lu Yuan and others have stayed in the imperial city for two or three years. It’s not too much to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors!

Later, Lu Yuan told Gu Ziyue his thoughts.

Gu Ziyue naturally agreed with Lu Yuan's idea.

Lu Yuan then submitted a memorial to the emperor.

When the emperor saw that Lu Yuan was going to return to his hometown with his family to worship his ancestors, he couldn't help but think too much at this critical juncture.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang summoned Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue to the imperial capital to meet him.

Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue went to the imperial capital with their children.

Empress Ma heard that Princess Yuening and her family had arrived in the imperial capital and was now in the imperial study.

Empress Ma, who had simply dressed up, walked towards the imperial study accompanied by several palace maids.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang looked at the baby in Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue's arms, and changed his usual serious face to a rare smile.

The emperor walked down, pinched the baby's hand in Gu Ziyue's arms, and teased, "Suck, suck, suck, little granddaughter, call me grandpa!"

The little girl in Gu Ziyue's arms stared with big eyes, looking at everything yellow around her, it was so fresh.

The little guy was not shy at all, and his tongue kept stirring in his mouth.

Gu Ziyue smiled and said, "Father, how old is our little darling? She can't speak yet. I will teach her well and let her learn to call grandpa first!"

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang smiled and praised: "My little granddaughter, you really look like you when you were a child, with your chubby little face, so tender that it looks like water is coming out of it."

Gu Ziyue now still has a little baby fat, and looks playful and cute.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang looked at the little grandson in Lu Yuan's arms again.

After seeing his grandson and granddaughter, the emperor sat back in the chair behind the desk.

"Please sit down, don't stand." The emperor waved his hand and said.

Only then did Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue sit down.

The emperor looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "I heard that you are going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't been back to pay homage to my ancestors for three years. I want to go back this year." It was not convenient for Lu Yuan to salute as he was holding the child, so he replied directly.

"If you leave, who will be responsible for guarding the west gate of the imperial city?" said the emperor.

"Lan Ying, the commander of the left guard of the government army, can take on this important task!" Lu Yuan responded without hesitation.

Lan Ying?

Others may not know who Lan Ying is, but Emperor Gu Yuanzhang knows him very well.

Lu Yuan did not recommend anyone else but Lan Ying.

Of course, Lu Yuan and Lan Ying are not very close, and Lan Ying is not Lu Yuan's confidant.

There was even some estrangement between the two in the early years.

"Oh? The adopted son of Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu?" The emperor asked knowingly, stroking his beard. Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu had been executed by the emperor a long time ago.

"That's right!" Lu Yuan replied.

Lu Yuan had already turned on the system identification function at this time, and saw that the magnification above Emperor Gu Yuanzhang's head had dropped to [Multiplier: 7].

Of course, this doesn’t matter. As long as the number above the head is higher than [Multiplier: 3], it means that the relationship between the two is still under control and they won’t fall out.

Even if one day the emperor wants to take action against Lu Yuan, he must carefully consider Lu Yuan's strength.

Lu Yuan is now in the late stage of Star Lord realm. Looking across the entire empire, no one can catch him except those hidden masters.

The two royal temples, Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple, lost seven-tenths of their buildings in the national war against Japan, and were severely damaged.

The Tianchao Palace is trying to reverse the fortune of the Tianchao Palace and restore it to its former glory by relying on the palace's treasure, the Tianshi Sword.

In Lu Yuan's opinion, it would take at least ten years.

Lu Yuan chose Lan Ying, which was somewhat of an open decision, but he also had to save face for the emperor.

Back then, Lan Ying was monitoring Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu, and now isn’t he monitoring Lu Yuan?

The reason why Lu Yuan was so respectful was, firstly, that the emperor was Yue'er's father, and secondly, that he had a family to support.

Lu Yuan seemed to have the ability to protect his family, so he dared to propose the idea of ​​leaving the imperial city at this critical juncture.

The emperor changed the subject directly and said, "The empire has always advocated filial piety first. I am very pleased that you are so filial.

If you want to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, it is not impossible.

But Yue'er just gave birth to two sons and is weak, how can she travel such a long distance?"

Before Lu Yuan could respond, Gu Ziyue jumped out and interrupted:

"Father, I am fine now. I eat well, sleep well, and can jump around."

Obviously, Gu Ziyue didn't want her father to use her as an excuse to keep Lu Yuan in the imperial city.

After Gu Ziyue took the pill that Lu Yuan prepared for her, her body had long since recovered to its pre-pregnancy state, or even better.

The emperor looked at Gu Ziyue's rosy face and thought that it was unrealistic to use this as an excuse to keep Lu Yuan.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This married girl is really like spilled water. She doesn't support her father at all when she speaks."

"The Queen has arrived!" An old eunuch outside the imperial study shouted in a high voice.

Empress Ma walked directly into the imperial study without waiting for the emperor to summon her.

Empress Ma had her own privileges. She could move freely in the imperial capital, and even the emperor could not stop her.

It can be seen how much Emperor Gu Yuanzhang doted on the queen.

After hearing the eunuch's announcement, Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue stood up holding their children to greet the queen.

Empress Ma was only wearing a plain silk dress, and was not wearing any fancy clothes like a long skirt.

Queen Ma simply greeted the emperor, walked straight to Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue, and took the child from Gu Ziyue into her arms.

"Oh oh oh~ good baby~ let grandma hold you~" Queen Ma held the child and rocked him left and right.

The emperor's conversation with Lu Yuan was interrupted, and he felt helpless, but he didn't want to offend the queen.

The emperor asked, "Queen, why are you here?"

The Queen said without even looking up: "Can't we see our daughter, granddaughter and grandson?"

The emperor, who had just stood up, sat down again, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, just look!"

The emperor was naturally a little displeased by what Empress Ma said.

Empress Ma took the initiative to ask her daughter: "Why did you think of coming to the imperial capital today? Why didn't you come to see me?"

"Mom, Yue'er misses you too~" Gu Ziyue acted coquettishly in front of Queen Ma.

In the past few years, Gu Ziyue has grown a lot.

In front of the queen, she would still reveal her true nature and call her mother instead of mother.

Empress Ma looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "You are already a mother, but you are still like a child."

Gu Ziyue stuck close to Empress Ma and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to go back to Taining City with Yuan~. The Qingming Festival is coming soon, so we should pay homage to our ancestors!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma made the decision without hesitation and said, "Go back. You have been staying in the imperial city for the past few years. Do you want to go back and take a look? I will allow you!"

Empress Ma did not ask the emperor for his opinion, but directly agreed to Princess Yuening's request as the empress.

"Oh, Queen, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me? Your Highness has official business to attend to!" The emperor stood up and clapped his hands.

"If there is official business, then hand it over!" Queen Ma looked at Lu Yuan and said.

Seeing that the queen was determined to do so, Emperor Gu Yuanzhang had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "The left and right guards of the palace army will be temporarily under the command of Lan Ying."

Lu Yuan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue left with the child.

Empress Ma turned to look at the emperor with displeasure on her face and said:
"Why? That's Yue Er's husband. Can't you even trust him?"

The emperor shook his sleeves and said, "That's why I kept him in the imperial city. I did it for Yue'er's own good."

"If you really want to do good for Yue'er, you shouldn't tie her up." Queen Ma did not believe what the emperor said.

Recently, the imperial city has been in turmoil, and it is all related to the Jinyiwei.

In this regard, Empress Ma knew very well that the harem should not interfere with government affairs, so she could only turn a blind eye to some things.

But on this matter, Queen Ma did not want to give in.

Yue'er, she is our own daughter!
I have already lost a son and cannot lose a daughter.

"Queen, you have to understand what kind of person Lu Yuan is.

He is skilled in medicine, martial arts, and alchemy, and especially his mind is always filled with strange things. I have no choice but to do so."

"Okay, okay, stop calling me 'I' all the time. In short, Yue'er must accompany her husband back to Taining City to worship the ancestors. I have already agreed to this." Queen Ma's voice became a few notches higher.

"Enough! I already have enough headaches. Now we are facing internal and external troubles. If we are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable." The emperor turned around and said to Queen Ma with his back to her.

Indeed, the Shenling Empire had just occupied Japan, and it needed to send a large number of soldiers to garrison Japan and arrange civil servants to stabilize the Japanese people on a spiritual level.

Just at this time, the crown prince died, and the whole government was shocked, so they had to be on guard.

In addition, this year, heavy rains hit the Central Plains, flooding millions of acres of fertile land, leaving people homeless and the number of refugees increasing dramatically.

All of the above are things that the emperor needs to deal with.

At this critical moment, the emperor had no choice but to send out the Embroidered Uniform Guard to monitor civil and military officials in order to stabilize the situation.

Queen Ma knew all of this, but she did not agree that all the emperor's actions were correct.

When Empress Ma saw that the emperor didn't want to hear her talk, she turned and left the imperial study.

After Lu Yuan and Gu Ziyue returned home, Lu Yuan ordered the servants to start loading things into the car.

Zhao Qiaoer, who loves to join in the fun, came to Lu Yuan and asked, "Where are all these bags going?" (End of this chapter)
