After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Zheng Xiyan's lips curled up into a doting smile, "Well, I wonder if the old man is still here?" She whispered softly, with a bit of nostalgia and emotion in her words. At this point, the smile on his lips paused slightly, and a barely perceptible sadness flashed in his eyes. Yes, so many years have passed, time flies, perhaps many old people and old things have gone with the wind and will never return.

Shuang Ning was standing by and saw Zheng Xiyan's expression change slightly. She seemed to understand something and a trace of resonance flashed in her eyes. But she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled like a flower. She continued, "I still remember that the queen loved to enjoy the cool in the quiet courtyard at night. At that time, there were many fireflies at night, twinkling, just like stars falling from the sky."

"Yes!" Zheng Xiyan's eyes flashed with tenderness when she heard it, as if she was brought back to that distant time by Shuang Ning's words, "My mother would also ask people to catch a few fireflies and put them in a glass bottle." In her mind, scenes full of beautiful and warm memories kept flashing.

Thinking about it now, those days were truly the most comfortable and carefree time in his life. A smile appeared on her lips again, but this time, it was filled with a little more nostalgia for the past.

卢府

Cui Zhaoling's father Cui An has returned to Beijing and came to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible. The two families are preparing to discuss their marriage.

Cui An is already over 40 years old, but time seems to be particularly tolerant to him. He still looks handsome and energetic, and his every move shows his elegance. When he was young, he won the hearts of many girls with his handsome face.

I had heard of Zheng Xiyan when she was still in the boudoir, and I had seen her several times when I attended banquets in the palace. She was indeed an eye-opener.

"Brother Lu!" Cui An bowed, his voice gentle and full of sincerity.

"Brother Cui!" Lu Xuan also bowed in return. He was wearing a dark brocade robe, walked steadily, and his face was full of smiles.

"Greetings, Mr. Lu!" Cui Zhaoling followed closely behind him, took a step forward and saluted respectfully, his behavior showing the humility and upbringing of a young man.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan patted Cui Zhaoling's shoulder with his broad palm and said with a smile: "Nephew, there is no need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Cui Zhaoling bowed slightly, his heart filled with longing for the future and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

"Brother Cui, please take a seat!" Lu Xuan greeted Cui An warmly. The two sat side by side with sincere smiles on their faces.

"As soon as I received Brother Lu's letter, I immediately reported to His Majesty and rushed back without stopping. If there were any delays on the way, I hope Brother Lu can forgive me!" Cui An's words revealed a bit of urgency and sincerity. The Cui family attached great importance to this marriage.

"Brother Cui, what are you talking about? I can understand you!" Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Lu." Cui An clasped his hands together and bowed, then said directly: "The marriage of these two children has been scheduled for several years. It really can't be delayed any longer. What do you think, Brother Lu?"

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "My wife and I also mean this. After we exchange our birth dates, we will start calculating the date and find an auspicious day for them to get married."

"Okay, in that case, my dear brother, let someone calculate the date immediately and pick a good day to come and propose marriage as soon as possible!" Cui An said immediately.

"I'll listen to you, brother." Lu Xuan stroked his beard and replied with a smile.

Princess Shion

Xiao Chengji already knew the news that Cui An had returned to the capital. Cui An went to Yingzhou to provide disaster relief. After returning to the capital, he did not go to the palace to report to him first, but went to Lu's Mansion instead, and did not take him, the emperor, seriously at all.
