The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 475 The Little Emperor Will Enjoy It

Li Mulan took a long time to coax the little emperor into silence. Chu Chenfeng just drank his tea beside him the whole time.

Li Mulan noticed that Chu Jie's eyes were always glancing towards Chu Chenfeng, and she was somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude.

She coughed lightly, "My Lord, is the tea delicious?"

Chu Chenfeng was stunned, "Well, not bad."

Li Mulan was speechless and winked at him, asking him to at least say something soft to his nephew. Didn't he see that the child was looking at him eagerly?

Chu Chenfeng felt a chill down his spine when they looked at him, so he put down his cup.

"Ah! Um... During the time when I was away from Kyoto, you handled government affairs very well. Well, not bad, you have made great progress."

Li Mulan was so upset by his dry and meaningless compliments that she almost tapped her toes on the ground.

But Chu Jie was very pleased to hear this. He raised his head and held his chin high, "Humph, I have always handled it well."

Li Mulan's mouth twitched. Okay, as long as the little emperor enjoys it.

Chu Chenfeng also smiled slightly, "Don't be proud."

The three of them then chatted for a long time, with Li Mulan and Chu Jie doing most of the talking.

Chu Chenfeng had been listening carefully beside him, occasionally saying a few words.

We didn't leave until we finished dinner and it was dark.

Chu Jie held Li Mulan's hand, looking reluctant.

Chu Chenfeng couldn't stand it any longer. Why was he always clinging to his wife? He stepped forward, picked up Chu Jie, and put him two steps away.

"We're all back now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Chu Jie straightened his clothes in dissatisfaction, "Uncle, you are too rude."

Chu Chenfeng glanced at him and said, "The Simon delegation will arrive in Beijing soon. Have you made all the arrangements?"

"It's been arranged long ago. Uncle Gu is in charge. There's no problem at all. And we've already agreed on it. This is just a formality."

"The one who came this time is Duanmu Qing's adopted son. That person is not simple."

"I see. By the way, General Ye sent someone a letter two days ago, planning to let Ye Mingqi take over. He said he is old and wants to spend his remaining years in retirement."

"Indeed, the Ye family has guarded the border for Daqing for several generations, and almost all the male members have died on the battlefield. Now that Simon is seeking peace, we should be able to have peace for a few years. Now is the best time to step down. OK?"

"Yes, my nephew thinks so too. Besides, Ye Mingqi's health has almost recovered. His ability is no worse than that of General Ye. We can rest assured that he will guard the border."

"Well, handle it properly. Don't let these loyal ministers down. Also, when the Ye family finds the lost bloodline, the reward will not be less."

"Uncle, I understand. I will make arrangements."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, took Li Mulan and left.

Li Mulan winked at Chu Jie and mouthed to the little emperor: I will come to see you tomorrow.

Chu Jie immediately became very happy and skipped back to continue reading the memorials.

Chu Chenfeng took Li Mulan to the Taifu Mansion.

In the carriage, Li Mulan stretched.

"Do you think there's something wrong with Duanmu Qing's adopted son?"

“It just doesn’t feel simple.”

"There is no such thing as a simple person like this. But, is their request for peace this time fake?"

"There is no other choice. Emperor Simon has long seen that Duanmu Qing is no longer what he used to be. If he can win by provoking Daqing, that would be the best. If not, he doesn't mind using this method to get rid of Duanmu Qing. Cooperating with me openly and maintaining peace for a few years is enough, whether it is recuperation or secret planning."

"So, they are still thieving?"

"Haha, if you are smart, you will behave yourself this time when you go back."

Li Mulan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you going to shock people?"

"You don't need me, Xiaojie will do it."

"Xiaojie is still a child after all."

"He has already started preparing. Just wait and see."

Li Mulan sighed, "You two uncles and nephews are both smarter than each other. I don't worry about you. What I am most worried about now is how to deal with my mother when I see her later."

Seeing her sad face, Chu Chenfeng couldn't help laughing, "Then...how about coming back tomorrow? I'll ask someone to tell them?"

"It's better to say goodbye. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well if I go back today."

"No problem, I'll stay with you."

Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the Taifu Mansion, Li Mulan saw that the house was brightly lit. With this posture, could it be that everyone was waiting?

Unexpectedly, she guessed it right. Even Li Cong was waiting for them.

"Grandfather, Mom and Dad, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, we are back!"

"Lan'er!"

Zhang was the first one to rush out of the house, completely ignoring Chu Chenfeng beside her, and hugged Li Mulan.

"You bad girl, you really worried your mother to death. Why did you leave without saying a word? Your parents were really worried sick. How could you have the courage to go to the border? There is a war there. You left your father and me in Kyoto and made us scared. You... wuwuwu..."

Li Mulan looked at Chu Chenfeng helplessly and immediately began to comfort him, "Mom, you see I'm fine. If I tell you, you will definitely disagree."

"Then you dare to go alone without telling us, how dangerous it is."

"I'm not leaving alone. I'm still with Yuan Ruo and the others. Besides, your daughter is not weak in martial arts either. I didn't learn martial arts in vain over the years. It's not that easy for her to be in danger."

Zhang patted her on the back twice, but it didn't really have much force. "How dare you say that? You even put a fake one in the palace. Tell me, how can a mother not recognize her own daughter, huh?"

"Oh, I was wrong. I was just afraid that you would worry."

"If you're afraid we'll worry, you shouldn't go."

Li Mulan immediately looked at Li Cong who was slowly coming out of the house, as if asking for help, "I...I told my grandfather about it, and I went only because he agreed."

Li Cong stroked his beard and pointed at Li Mulan in the air, "Eldest wife, let the young couple come in. Don't stay at the door."

Zhang then noticed that Chu Chenfeng was still beside her, and immediately wiped her eyes a little embarrassedly, "The prince is back too, good, everyone is safe, this is good."

Chu Chenfeng looked at Li Mulan who had a bitter smile on her face, "I am sorry to have made Madam worried. Lan'er went to the border for the sake of the king. This is my fault."

Zhang pinched her daughter's arm in anger, and Li Mulan immediately hissed, feeling very aggrieved, "Mom~"

Zhang glared at her, then looked at Chu Chenfeng gently, "Lan'er is being willful. Let's go inside and talk."

Chu Chenfeng nodded slightly and then went into the house.

Lin Xuelan stepped forward and grabbed Li Mulan's hand, "You are finally back, girl. You scared my sister-in-law enough this time. Don't act like this in the future."

"I don't dare to do it again. Second Aunt, please help me..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Mulan sensed something was wrong. This Lin Xuelan seemed to be much plumper, she blinked her eyes as if she had some guesses, and immediately reached out to feel her pulse.

Lin Xuelan was stunned at first, then she looked at Zhang and smiled, "Look, sister-in-law, you really can't hide anything from this girl."

Li Mulan quickly looked at Lin Xuelan in surprise, "Second Aunt is pregnant?"

Lin Xuelan glanced at Li Xun beside her shyly and nodded gently, "Yes, it's just three months old."

Li Mulan looked at Li Xun teasingly, "Second uncle is amazing. He has a child right after getting married."

Zhang on the side quickly covered her mouth, and then looked at Chu Chenfeng with some concern, "This child really dares to say anything, hehe, hehe."

Chu Chenfeng seemed to be used to it and didn't care at all. He was talking seriously to Li Cong.

Zhang finally felt relieved and poked Li Mulan's forehead with her finger, "You are a girl after all, how can you talk like that?"

Li Mulan shrugged, "Well, we are all family, so just be casual."

"Huh, you are just too casual." Then he thought of something and glanced at Li Mulan's belly hesitantly, "Your second uncle and second aunt got married later than you, and they both have children. You and the prince..."

Li Mulan was a little frightened by Zhang's naked eyes, and hurriedly covered her lower abdomen, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm still young, there's no rush to have a child."

Zhang sighed and whispered, "You are young, but the prince is not young anymore. Isn't he in a hurry?"
