Chapter 302 Mother and daughter reunited
Chapter 302 Mother and daughter reunited
Du Pont, the commander of Wansheng Gate, was wearing a shining helmet and armor, standing on the gate tower and looking down at the group of people below the city.
Regent Zhao Defang stood quietly beside a carriage. Next to the new noble in the court, the famous Kou Zhun, was the second son of the Luo family, Luo Wenhao, who was dressed in brocade and waving a Fragrant Concubine fan. The person in the carriage must be the Regent's wife.
I wonder who has such a great honor to have the Regent and his wife come to the city gate to welcome them personally? After thinking about it, I still can't think of which adult in the court would have this honor?
In the distance on the official road, a horse team of more than 30 people surrounded two carriages and slowly approached. In the welcoming team, the second young master Luo, dressed in gorgeous clothes, ran forward happily, and the regent princess was also helped down from the carriage by the regent.
DuPont looked intently, wondering which great god was in the carriage returning from afar?
The carriage approached, and a lady got out of the carriage in front, attended by four maids and old women. The maid was holding a young child in her arms, and the pregnant Princess Regent eagerly went to greet her.
Dupont suddenly realized that the person the Regent and his wife were welcoming was the wife of Lord Luo Ji, who had been conferred the title of first-rank lady not long ago. The child in the maid's arms should be the eldest grandson of the Luo family.
Madam Luo let go of her grandson's hand and hugged her precious daughter, but she didn't dare to hug her too tightly. Tears flowed before she could say anything, "Li'er, I miss you so much!"
Luo Li's eyes were wet with sadness. After being separated from her beloved mother for a year, they were finally reunited. The pain of missing her turned into love and admiration. "Mom, Li'er misses you too. I think of you even in my dreams."
Her daughter's words made Madam Luo cry even more happily, "Li'er, mother is the same, you are in my dreams every night."
Luo Li felt a little guilty. She only dreamed of her mother occasionally. She patted her mother's back and coaxed her: "Mom, don't go home yet. Let my father wait at home anxiously. I will take you to the Regent Palace to live for a few days to relieve our longing for you."
Mrs. Luo was so amused that she burst into laughter. "Okay! I'll stay with you for a few days."
The second son of the Luo family, who had run a long way to greet them and then ran back with the carriage, finally interrupted, "Mother, you are too partial, aren't you? Your son misses you too, so why don't you go home and stay with him for a few days first?"
Madam Luo glanced at her son with tears in her eyes, "Why are you, the godson of the Luo family, competing for the favor of my own daughter?"
Luo Wenhao wailed and snatched Luo Tianci, who was staring at him with a pair of dark eyes, from the maid's hand, "Tianci, call me uncle, uncle!"
The two-year-old Luo Tianci blinked his eyes and shouted in a very respectful voice, "Uncle! You didn't do it!"
Luo Wenhao excitedly hugged his beloved nephew and played with him lifting him up high.
Regent Zhao Defang and Kou Zhun then got the chance and stepped forward to pay their respects to Madam Luo.
Her son-in-law was the regent, second only to the emperor, and he treated her with great respect and came to the city gate to greet her in person. Madam Luo was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. After praising her son-in-law, she also praised her student Kou Zhun, who was loyal and righteous, which made Luo Wenhao next to her jealous and dejected.
Luo Li let go of her mother, walked to the little nephew held by her second brother, and held his chubby little hand: "Tianci, why don't you call me aunt? Have you forgotten about me?"
Xiao Tianci stared at Luo Li with a pair of black eyes, as if he was trying hard to figure out who this person was.
Luo Wenhao finally found his confidence. He proudly lifted his nephew up and put him on his neck, showing off to his sister: "Little sister, did you see that? Little Tianci is the most conscientious one in the Luo family. He knows that I, his second uncle, am his closest uncle, and he doesn't recognize you as his aunt who married out."
Luo Li took her nephew's left hand again, looked at him lovingly with her gentle eyes, and coaxed him patiently: "Tianci, think about it again, your aunt loves you the most, and you used to be the one closest to your aunt, so how about a kiss?"
Little Tianci seemed to have finally found his memory. He immediately stretched out his little arms and threw himself at Luo Li, "Aunt, Aunt, Aunt!"
Luo Li took the little nephew, hugged him and kissed him, "Kiss, kiss! Little Tianci, auntie misses you so much, I miss you even in my dreams."
Little Tianci also found the long-lost feeling. He held his aunt's face with his chubby little hands and kissed her back, "Mmmmm, mmmmm...Aunt, Tianci missed you so much too."
Luo Wenhao next to him said unhappily, "I missed you so much that I couldn't even remember it. It took me such a long time to remember it."
Zhao Defang was afraid of tiring the princess and Tianci touching her big pregnant belly, so she carefully protected it with her hands. When she heard Luo Wenhao's sour words, she fought back on behalf of the princess and Tianci, "Luo Er, today my wife and I will take my mother-in-law and Tianci to live in the palace for a few days. You are not allowed to visit us!"
Luo Wenhao wailed again, ran back to his mother in a hurry, hugged her arms, and acted coquettishly and cutely, asking for warmth.
Dupont looked at the family down in the city with envy. It was such a blessing for their daughter to marry His Royal Highness the Regent!
However, hearing that Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi, who had been plotting to marry His Royal Highness the Regent as concubines, had a miserable end, the daughters of wealthy families in the capital who secretly admired His Royal Highness the Regent no longer dared to have any thoughts on this.
His Royal Highness the Regent is loyal and devoted, and has announced that he will only love the princess in his life and will not take concubines. The noble ladies in the capital are heartbroken. This beautiful and foolish princess is too stupid to be the queen, so His Royal Highness the Regent refuses to ascend the throne to become the emperor. The foolish princess really has some skills to control her husband.
The two teams joined together and escorted the two carriages straight to the Regent's Palace. Madam Luo and Tianci were taken into the palace. His Royal Highness the Regent, whose words were his bond, ordered his men to keep the anxious Luo Er outside the door.
Luo Wenhao jumped up and down, begging and making a fuss for a while, but when no one paid attention to him, he had to accept his fate and go home. I can't mess with my little sister, and I can't mess with my little sister who has a husband, the Regent, even more!
Kou Zhun did not follow him into the palace. He watched the joke of the Second Young Master Luo for a while. Then he came over with a warm smile on his face and affectionately put his arm around the dejected Luo Wenhao's shoulders.
"Brother, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong have booked a banquet at Taihe Restaurant and invited me to come over for a drink. How about you join us and have a few drinks to ease your worries?"
Luo Wenhao's eyes widened! "Why should I worry? When the Regent Zhao Defang goes to Luo's house one day, I will give him a cold shoulder and take revenge on him.
Let’s go! Brothers, let’s have a party, drink and chat!”
