Jiu Qing Chuan
Chapter 37
Speaking of this empress dowager, she is also a legendary figure. When the emperor was still young, she began to listen to the government behind the curtain. When the emperor became an adult, she handed over power to the emperor bit by bit. Now the emperor is fatuous, and many people They all invited the queen mother to come out of the mountain, but the queen mother could not avoid it, so she simply lived in the royal temple in the capital.
The number of times she comes back every year is limited, and it has been five years, and she has heard very little about the Queen Mother in the capital. This time she came back suddenly, and the Seventh Princess' intentional reminder made Luo Qing feel dizzy.
Could it be that she came back because of the matter with Li Xiao?
The seventh princess saw Luo Qing's doubts, so she just smiled mysteriously, as if I knew the reason, but I didn't say anything, which made Luo Qing feel helpless.
Only Luo Qing and Li Xiao knew about Mrs. Luo's waking up, and everyone else only knew that Mrs. Luo's condition was getting worse day by day.
No matter who was behind the poisoning, it was all for the death of Mrs. Luo, so she simply used this opportunity to let Mrs. Luo feign death and leave.
At first, she wanted to ask the Ye family to help, but now she has a better candidate, Yun Wei.
No matter what the result of Yunwei's investigation is, she will come back, as long as she is sure that Yunwei is reliable, she can help.
Luo Qing had a vague feeling about the relationship between Yunwei and her mother, but she still didn't quite understand it.
Luo Qing glanced at Li Xiao who was sitting next to her, and sighed softly in her heart, originally she had considered whether to feign death with Mrs. Luo and leave, but just thinking of Li Xiao's position, she gave up this idea.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiao asked aloud.
"Is the princess happy?"
"Well, Grandma Huang doted on me since I was a child. Now that she is back, I am of course happy. I haven't seen her for a long time." Li Xiao's voice was full of excitement that could not be concealed.
"She treats you well?"
"Well, very good, she is the best person in this world to me." Li Xiao nodded heavily.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, although it didn't show on her face, Li Xiao still felt his unbelieving attitude, and explained: "My concubine mother is the niece of Grandma Huang, and she will be closer to me."
Luo Qing didn't expect that there was such a relationship, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something unhappy."
Li Xiao shook her head, changed the subject and said, "You just keep Nightmare, is it alright?"
"Well, it's okay, Nightmare's kung fu is not weak, and there are some small things in the room, and my mother has woken up, I have already told her about it, and she will take care of it." Luo Qing laughed road.
"En." Li Xiao nodded and said, "Will you leave too?" Her voice was weak, with a hint of sadness.
Luo Qing felt depressed after hearing this, and replied: "No."
"Really?" Li Xiao looked at Luo Qing expectantly.
"Really, I won't go anywhere until the toxins in your body are cleaned out."
Li Xiao nodded, not as happy as she was at the beginning, she understood the meaning of Luo Qing's words, as long as she recovered, he was ready to leave, for a moment, she even hoped that her face could never recover, so that Otherwise, Luo Qing would not leave.
This idea is a bit silly, Li Xiao laughed at herself.
Luo Qing was a little at a loss, she didn't know which sentence made Li Xiao unhappy.
The car stopped slowly, Luo Qing got out of the car first, and stretched out her hand to Li Xiao.
This time, Li Xiao didn't avoid it, and generously supported Luo Qing's hand to get off the carriage. She knew that she couldn't express her feelings, especially at the moment when the other party was about to leave, if there was no way to keep him , it is better to create some memories, when you think about it in the future, you have something to think about.
Luo Qing no longer pretended to be herself. In the eyes of outsiders, although Luo Qing was still thin, she was not as good as before, where a gust of wind could blow her down.
With her delicate and enchanting face, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile, making people unconsciously focus on her.
When the queen mother returned to the palace, the emperor specially arranged a banquet to welcome the queen mother.
Civil and military officials brought their family members and school-age girls here, because the Queen Mother has a hobby, that is, she likes to propose marriages to people of the right age in the court at the banquet.Moreover, she pointed out that the marriage was all based on her will, and she didn't care about the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, or the difference in family status.
Before the banquet started, quite a few people had already arrived, and the voices of acquaintances talking could be seen everywhere.
Luo Qing and Li Xiao, led by the eunuch in charge, came to the seats arranged for them and sat down.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a woman dressed as a royal lady came over and said quietly, "Ninth Sister, can I sit here?"
Li Xiao looked up, the tenth princess was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, Li Xiao sighed slightly in her heart, and beckoned: "Come here."
Luo Qing got up to salute and said, "Luo Qing has seen the tenth princess."
"Brother-in-law, will I disturb you and Ninth Sister if I sit here?" The tenth princess waved her hand, hesitated and did not sit down.
"It's okay, tenth princess, please sit down." Luo Qing said with a light smile, the smile seemed to have the power to warm people's hearts, and the grievance in tenth princess's heart dissipated a little.
She leaned against Li Xiao and sat down, her hands hugged Li Xiao's arm tightly, her head was buried in Li Xiao's shoulder, her body trembled slightly.
Li Xiao knew she was crying, but didn't stop her, and patted her on the back lightly, silently comforting her.
Luo Qing seemed to know nothing, and slowly sipped the tea.
They all understand that the tenth princess is definitely not having a good time in the palace recently.People who used to dislike the third princess, but dared not provoke them, vented all their grievances on the tenth princess when they saw the downfall of the third princess.
Without the protection of the third princess, and the fifth prince is not close to this younger sister, one can imagine the situation of the tenth princess.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xiao patted Princess Ten on the back, and said softly: "Shuang'er, don't cry anymore, the banquet is about to start, it would be bad to cry any more."
The tenth princess got up from Lixiao's arms, and Lixiao took out a handkerchief to wipe away the remaining tears on the face of the tenth princess, "If you don't want to stay in the palace, come live with me in the mansion, where no one will make things difficult for you."
"Really, brother-in-law won't you mind?" The tenth princess opened her eyes wide and looked at Luo Qing.
Luo Qing didn't hear the conversation between the Lixiao sisters, she was talking to the Seventh Princess with gestures.
Seeing that Luo Qing ignored him, the tenth princess hesitated and said, "Ninth sister, is brother-in-law unwilling?"
Li Xiao turned her head and followed his line of sight to look at the seventh princess on the opposite side. The seventh princess inadvertently caught a glimpse of Li Xiao's eyes, quickly put her hands away, and went to serve the tea on the table instead.
Luo Qing frowned, a little puzzled, who knew that the Seventh Princess didn't have a look in her eyes, at this moment, someone kicked her, turned her head to look, and met Shang Lixiao's slightly angry eyes.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qing asked in a daze.
"Shuang'er wants to live in the mansion for a while, and ask your opinion." Li Xiao's tone was slightly cold.
"Who is Shuang'er?" Luo Qing was even more at a loss, how could there be another person named Shuang'er after a while.
The tenth princess blushed slightly and said, "It's me."
"Ahem." Luo Qing choked on her own saliva and coughed.
Li Xiao hurriedly patted his back lightly to ease his discomfort, the displeasure in her eyes subsided a lot, she shouldn't have reacted so much, outsiders may see them as husband and wife, but in fact they are not even friends.
Luo Qing smiled awkwardly: "It's fine for the princess to make the decision, and you don't need to ask my opinion."
"Thank you Ninth Sister, and thank you Brother-in-law." The Tenth Princess said happily, Luo Qing shook her head, and sighed inwardly, how did the Tenth Princess grow so big with such a simple temperament.
Luo Qing's gaze shifted to Princess Seven again, wanting to find out what was about to happen from her.
When Li Xiao saw it, she quietly asked: "The son-in-law and the Seventh Sister have a very good relationship, why don't you sit with the Seventh Sister in the past?" Some things are clearly inappropriate, but some emotions can't be controlled.
Luo Qing blinked, and looked at the tenth princess in a daze.The tenth princess shrank her neck and looked away, why did she feel that Ninth Sister's tone was very subtle,
"The princess was joking." Luo Qing didn't know the reason, so he could only respond with one sentence.
"I'm serious." Li Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a dangerous light, seeing the interaction between Luo Qing and the Seventh Princess, her heart was like a pile of flames, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.Just thinking about what is out of sight.
"I'm not familiar with Seventh Princess." Luo Qing said hastily.
"En." Li Xiao responded casually, suppressing the depression in her heart, she shouldn't be like this, it has nothing to do with who Luo Qing looks at.
"I'm going to change clothes, Shuang'er, you should also tidy up, your face is so ugly." Li Xiao got up and said.
"Ah, oh, good." The tenth princess pursed her lips and stood up.
"I'll go with you." Luo Qing followed suit.
Li Xiao refused: "No need, it's inconvenient for you to follow, it's fine to be with Lianxiangxiyu."
The tenth princess cast a sympathetic look at Luo Qing. Although she didn't understand, she also understood that Ninth Sister had overturned the jealousy.She used to think about what it would be like for Ninth Sister to be jealous, but today she admired it once, which is really surprising.
Luo Qing was full of doubts and could only sit down again.
Lixiao walked out of the hall, called Xiyu, whispered a few words in her ear, Xiyu nodded, turned and walked towards the way she came.
The tenth princess asked curiously: "Ninth Sister, what did you ask Xiyu to do?"
"Some small things, let's go quickly, time is running out."
"Then we don't have to change it."
"You also said, if you didn't make my clothes wet from crying, why would I need to change them." Li Xiao lightly tapped the forehead of the tenth princess, and scolded with a smile.
The tenth princess stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.
After Li Xiao left, the Seventh Princess made a gesture to Luo Qing. Luo Qing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked outside the hall. The crowd was crowded, and the two of them walked outside without arousing the suspicion of others.
In a remote corner, one person is hiding in the darkness, and the other person is standing among the flowers as if admiring them.
"What's wrong with Jiu'er?" Seventh Princess who was hiding in the darkness asked worriedly.
"How do I know." Luo Qing's voice was full of doubts, she really didn't know why Li Xiao was suddenly angry, let alone that Li Xiao's anger had something to do with her.
"You are responsible for coaxing her well." Princess Seven said immediately.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth. She was not called by the Seventh Princess to inquire about her crimes. She changed the subject and said, "Did something happen tonight?"
"Are you afraid?" Princess Seven said playfully.
"A little bit." Luo Qing replied calmly.
The Seventh Princess smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager loves Jiu'er very much, so she might embarrass you. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't have too much trouble, you won't get into trouble. If you insist on meddling, even I won't." To ensure your safety."
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows, knowing that this was a reminder from the Seventh Princess, so she didn't ask any more.
Xiyu peeked at Luo Qing not far away, she couldn't see who was hiding in the dark, but the princess told her to pay attention to the traces of the son-in-law and the seventh princess, presumably the person in the dark was the seventh princess.
How could the son-in-law be with the seventh princess?
Although her actions were secretive enough, they were very conspicuous in the eyes of Luo Qing and the Seventh Princess. When she first appeared, the two of them had already spotted her, but they just didn't bother to pay attention.
"Jiu'er really cares about you. After leaving for such a short while, I will send someone to watch over you, lest you will be abducted." Seventh Princess teased.
"Princess is just worried about my body." Luo Qing's voice was gentle, with a slight smile, enjoying Li Xiao's concern for her.
"Is that so, I'm afraid that some people think they're smart and misunderstand what others mean." Seventh Princess dropped the unclear words and left from the dark place.
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows, that's not the case, could there be other reasons?
Luo Qing stood there for a while, and saw Li Xiao walking with the tenth princess and Lianxiang from a distance, so she went up to meet her.
After leaving just now, Li Xiao's mood has recovered, she suddenly saw Luo Qing, and said unexpectedly: "Why is the son-in-law here?"
"I saw that you haven't returned home for a long time, and I was really bored inside, so I came out and waited for you." Luo Qing laughed.
The tenth princess clapped her hands beside her and said, "Ninth Sister and brother-in-law have such a good relationship, and they don't want to part for such a short time. I really envy others."
Li Xiao's color was slightly red, and Luo Qing joked: "If the tenth princess has a wishful husband, maybe she will do the same. The main reason is that the princess really has a favorite, and it is not convenient to tell the father. You can tell us, maybe we can Might as well help."
"Brother-in-law made fun of me." The tenth princess blushed and hid behind Li Xiao, without any sign of crying.
Luo Qing and Li Xiao looked at each other, very surprised, it was obviously just a joke, but they didn't expect to find out that the other party had a lover.
"I don't know which family's young master caught our eyes." Li Xiao asked tentatively.
"Ninth Sister, are you also making fun of me?" The tenth princess shook Li Xiao's arm, with dissatisfaction and embarrassment on her face.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you say it earlier, it may help you. If you wait until the father wants to marry you, then it will be difficult. And tonight, don't make too much noise. If you cause the emperor Grandma's attention, don't blame me for not helping you." Li Xiao said seriously.
At the beginning, I didn't know what the little girl was thinking, so I didn't care. Now that I know that the little girl has her own heart, then tonight will be in danger.
Luo Qing's heart sank, her bad premonition was even stronger now, and she hoped that there would be no troubles.
When the three of them returned to the banquet, most of the people had already sat down, Xiyu whispered a few words in Lixiao's ear.Li Xiao nodded, she no longer had the mood to care about before, and now she is more worried about Shuang'er's situation.
Following the eunuch's sharp cry, everyone stopped talking and knelt down on the ground, shouting long live three times and thousand years old three times.
The emperor supported the empress dowager and slowly walked through the crowd, stood still in front of the crowd, and said loudly: "Be flat."
When everyone stood up, Luo Qing could see clearly the queen mother beside her, with a kind smile on her face, a smile on her face, and cloudy eyes that old people often have, as if she had been unable to distinguish the world for many years.
"My mother is coming back today, and I specially arranged a banquet, which is lively and lively. It's been a long time since my mother has seen these late-born children." The emperor's voice was full of respect.
The queen mother nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor's son understands Ai's thoughts best. I heard that Jiu'er is married, which family's son did he marry?"
"He's the son of General Luo's family." The queen said with a smile.
"Is that Shaohua's child?" The queen mother was puzzled at first, and then began to protest: "No, no, how can you marry that second generation ancestor? The Ai family disagrees, and they don't agree with anything."
This time at the banquet, Luo Shaohua was also there, his face became very embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to hide his head in the crowd.
Li Xiao turned her head and glanced at Luo Qing, who touched her nose in embarrassment.
"It's not Luo Shaohua, it's Luo Qing." The emperor explained, looked up in Luo Qing's direction and said, "Luo Qing, you haven't come out to see your grandma."
Luo Qing got up and made a bow with both hands: "Luo Qing has met Grandma Huang."
A flash of sharpness flashed quickly in the Queen Mother's sight, she nodded and said: "A good-looking talent, not bad, not bad, really good."
"Thank you grandma for your compliment." Luo Qing caught the fleeting sight of the queen mother and became vigilant in his heart.
"What is your official position now?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"I have no official position." Luo Qing replied without any trace of guilt.
"Then is it proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"I dare not say I am proficient, I only know a little bit."
"There is a pair of empty skins, but there is no ink in the stomach, do you think you are worthy of Jiu'er from the Ai family?" The queen mother yelled angrily.
As soon as Li Xiao wanted to get up, she received Luo Qing's calm and restless eyes, so she had no choice but to be patient, and the people below whispered, Luo Shaohua came out from the crowd with a smug look on his face, I'm not good , You are even worse as a son-in-law.
"Luo Qing was able to get the favor of the princess, it is the fate of several lifetimes of cultivation. Although I have no official position, nor do I have the skills to show it, but Luo Qing has a sincere heart."
The Empress Dowager looked Luo Qing up and down, her eyes revealing a bit of admiration, and said: "This is the first time Aijia has seen someone like you who has no ink in his chest and can speak so confidently."
"That's because Luo Qing understands what the Empress Dowager thinks. Luo Qing hereby promises that she will never let the princess suffer in this life." Luo Qing said bluntly.
The sharp gaze just now made Luo Qing understand that the reason why the queen mother showed a disregard for world affairs was because she didn't want the emperor to feel threatened. After all, the queen mother knew the emperor best in the world.
The empress dowager restrained her edge because she was unwilling to fall out with the emperor, but it didn't mean she was really stupid.
The Queen Mother just asked a few questions about whether Luo Qing married Li Xiao because of her official position, and whether she ignored Li Xiao for personal pursuit.
Luo Qing understood, and also answered the answer that the Queen Mother wanted to know the most. The Queen Mother was naturally satisfied with his sharp wit.
The ministers didn't know what kind of riddle these two people were playing. After looking at each other, they heard the queen mother laughing and said: "Okay, this grandson-in-law is very popular with the family, Jiu'er, take your husband-in-law into the palace sometime." Gong stays with Aijia well, long time no see, Aijia misses him very much."
Li Xiao quickly got up and said yes.
After Luo Qing sat down, the tenth princess asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about with Grandma Huang?"
"It's normal for children not to understand the things of adults. When you get married, you will understand." Luo Qing said with a faint smile.
The tenth princess curled her lips in dissatisfaction, with an unhappy expression on her face.
Li Xiao originally wanted to ask, but seeing Luo Qing's answer, she didn't ask any more. If he said the same thing, "I don't understand because you are still young, then Li Xiao would be ashamed in front of the ten princesses."
The Empress Dowager did not bother Luo Qing any more, but asked other teenagers, and some even asked the Empress Dowager to marry her in front of everyone. After the Empress Dowager asked the other party's opinion, she understood that the two were in love, but the elders of both parties wanted to marry each other. After being reluctant, he nodded generously and offered the marriage.
Push the atmosphere of the dinner party to a climax.
At the busiest time, it is also the time when troubles are most likely to occur. People from outside report, and envoys come to Beijing. Now they are waiting outside the hall.
Luo Qing looked at the Seventh Princess in shock, and the Seventh Princess nodded without a trace.
Luo Qing quickly lowered her head to hide the shock in her eyes. Is this the accident that the Seventh Princess said?
The dynasty Luo Qing belonged to was called Qin. Qin had already been unified in the previous generation of the emperor.
A few strangely dressed people walked in from outside.
"Brother-in-law, who are they? Why do they look so strange, their beards cover their faces." The tenth princess asked curiously.
Li Xiao was also a little curious.
Luo Qing smiled wryly and said: "I haven't seen it either, if my guess is right, they should be barbarians, ten princesses, they are probably here to propose marriage, you must hide later. "
"Really?" The tenth princess opened her eyes wide in shock.
"Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Luo Qing shook her head and said, she couldn't be sure, she was just guessing, after all, the time when this barbarian came gave people a very weird feeling.
"Ninth sister, why don't I go first?" The tenth princess was a little scared by Luo Qing's words.
"As long as you are obedient and obedient, there will be no problem. This is a welcome banquet for Grandma Huang. If you leave at this time, you will be in trouble if you are caught in the wrong place." Li Xiao frowned and persuaded, but was told by Luo Qing , She couldn't help but worry in her heart.
Luo Qing's attention was already on the group of barbarians.
The leader of the barbarian is a young man, about 20 years old, dressed in accordance with the customs of the Han people, without stubble on his face, and has the handsome demeanor of a middle-aged man. Behind him are two middle-aged men. Profuse Khan, wearing the official uniform of the Hu people's court, judging from the clothes, his official position is not low.
With one hand across his chest, he bowed and said, "I have seen the Great Qin Emperor."
"Pingshen." The emperor said in a deep voice.
One of the middle-aged Hu Ren said: "Emperor Daqin, this is Yelu Shangxie, the third prince of our clan."
Yelu Shangxie bowed again and said: "Before coming, Father Khan asked me to say hello to you for him many times. It is a great regret in life that we have not seen each other until now. If there is a chance, I really want to See you again."
The emperor laughed loudly and said: "It's hard for your father Khan to remember the old friend. I often think of the scene back then. If there is a chance, I will definitely meet your father Khan again and compete."
Yelu Shangxie said loudly: "If the emperor is interested, my people are willing to accompany the emperor to train soldiers."
The faces of the civil and military officials present all changed, and the emperor's expression was also a little ugly.
The Seventh Princess snorted and said, "Every life of our Daqin people is a priceless treasure. We cherish life, but we never fear war. If you want to test the strength of our Daqin soldiers and horses, of course we will not refuse, as long as you can Pay the price."
If Yelu Shangxie is a temptation, then the Seventh Princess' words are a blatant threat.
Luo Qing's eyes immediately showed admiration.
Li Xiao glanced at him lightly.
Yelu Shangxie raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the Emperor also mean this?"
The emperor nodded and said: "That's right." The emperor was dissatisfied with Yelu Shangxie's attitude, what the seventh princess said was exactly what he wanted to say, but there were some things that the seventh princess said, but he, the emperor, couldn't say it.
If he had said those words, then this war would have been unavoidable. An emperor has the dignity of being an emperor. Even if he has no strength, he has to do something if he has something to say.
Yelu Shangxie smiled slightly and said, "Shangxie is just making a suggestion, so why should the emperor take it seriously. The most important purpose of Shangxie's visit this time is to come here to propose a marriage, and let our relationship go to a higher level."
"Oh, I don't know who to ask for?" the emperor asked.
The tenth princess tensed up all of a sudden, she hid her body behind Lixiao, howling in her heart, she would have run away if she had known.
"Shang Xie has nothing to do with the princess and miss of your country, please allow the emperor to allow Shang Xie to stay longer."
"The visitor is a guest, Prince Yelu should stay in the capital for a while longer, and enjoy the scenery of my dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come here, set up a seat for Prince Yelu."
Yelu Shangxie saluted again, and then sat down at the seat arranged beside him.
The biggest turmoil of this birthday banquet disappeared invisibly when the seventh princess interjected.
When leaving the palace, the tenth princess stayed by Li Xiao's side and refused to leave.Li Xiao had no choice but to send someone to deliver a message to the imperial concubine, bringing the tenth princess back home.
But the most difficult thing came.
She and Luo tend to sleep in separate rooms, and they don't like too many servants, so until now, no news has spread, but now, the tenth princess stays, if they continue to sleep in separate rooms, if the tenth princess finds out , will cause a lot of trouble.
"What's the matter?" Luo Qing asked aloud when she saw that she had been frowning since getting into the carriage.
Seeing Princess Ten lying on the window of the car, Li Xiao was talking to Lianxiang excitedly, not paying attention to the situation inside the car at all, so she whispered her worries in Luo Qing's ear.
Luo Qing was also stunned. In the past, Luo Qing might have chosen to tell Lixiao her identity, but now, the selfishness in her heart prevents her from speaking out about her identity, and she even deliberately avoids the possibility of her identity being exposed.
"Does the princess trust me?" Luo Qing suddenly asked when she was about to arrive at the princess mansion.
Li Xiao met his gaze, full of sincerity let Li Xiao understand the other party's plan, and nodded slightly.
Luo Qing thought it was a very simple thing for the two of them to sleep together, but when they really had to do it, they realized that the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel.
One bed, two people are very embarrassed.
Luo Qing rubbed her temples, the two of them looked at each other for a long time, neither of them said a word, if this continues, neither of them will be able to fall asleep.
"Princess, it's getting late, you'd better go to bed quickly!" Luo Qing persuaded.
"I'm not sleepy yet. If the son-in-law is sleepy, he should go to bed earlier." Li Xiao shook her head.
She has never slept with a man before, how could she sleep.
"I'm going to check on my mother's situation. If the princess is sleepy, go to bed first, don't wait for me." Luo Qing got up and smiled at Li Xiao, opened the door and walked outside.
If they continue to sit, neither of them will have sex. In that case, why doesn't she leave for a while, so that Li Xiao can feel more at ease.
Li Xiao opened her mouth, but finally did not stop Luo Qing.
When Luo Qing went out, he didn't go to the room where Mrs. Luo lived, but walked to the backyard.
There are too many things hidden in her heart, even if she lies down, it is not so easy to fall asleep.
It has been almost half a month since Yunwei left, and according to the time, Yunwei will have half a month to come back, but, for Luo Qing, days are like years.
"Master." Nightmare stood behind him, hesitant to speak.
"Huh?" Luo Qing looked at her suspiciously, using the moonlight to clearly see the embarrassment on her face, as if she wanted to ask some difficult questions.
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, what can make our night lady so difficult?"
"Will that woman who has been here since you left come again?" Nightmare bit his lip and asked vaguely.
"Which woman?" Luo Qing was even more puzzled, why didn't she know that there were any women in the mansion.
"It's the one you said you could trust." Nightmare gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Qing fiercely, very suspicious that this person was pretending to be stupid.
"Oh, that." Luo Qing understood who Nightmare was talking about, and deliberately said, "I still don't know who you're talking about."
Nightmare's hand touched the hilt of the sword, and he wished he could draw his sword and chop off the master who was pretending to be stupid.
Luo Qing just smiled, with a bit of malicious intentions.
"She's asking me. You know it, so why tease her." A sudden voice broke the confrontation between the two.
Nightmare was slightly stunned, and then a little embarrassed.
Luo Qing couldn't help laughing, and said, "Since you've come a long time ago, why didn't you show up, and why did you hide in the dark and eavesdrop?"
Seventh Princess fluttered down from the roof, glanced lightly at Nightmare and said, "I listened openly, so why would I eavesdrop?"
Luo Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Can you stop speaking so confidently, I feel embarrassed for you."
"I'm happy." Seventh Princess snorted softly, looked at Ye Shang, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"fine."
"It's okay, you will ask her news?" Luo Qing went around behind Nightmare and asked curiously: "Why didn't I know you still have curiosity?"
"Talk slowly, I'll help you watch people." After Ye Shang finished speaking calmly, he turned and left, his back seemed to be running away.
"What's wrong with her?" Seventh Princess wondered.
Luo Qing shrugged and said, "You who are also women don't know, how can I know?"
Seventh Princess looked at Nightmare's back and fell into deep thought.
Luo Qing interrupted the Seventh Princess's contemplation, and asked, "Are you here tonight just to look at Nightmare's back in a daze?"
The Seventh Princess returned to her senses and said seriously: "No, I came here to tell you, be careful of Yelu Shangxie, the visitor is not kind, I'm afraid he will attack Jiu'er."
"If you care about it, you're in chaos. The princess is already married, so naturally she can no longer be a candidate for marriage." Luo Ting wanted to laugh, but when her eyes met the serious eyes of the seventh princess, she couldn't laugh at all. , his heart sank for no reason, with some uneasiness emerging, he subconsciously grabbed Seventh Princess's wrist and asked, "Do you know anything?"
Qigong took the initiative, frowned and said, "Let go."
Not only did Luo Qing not let go, but she tightened her grip on the contrary, and asked, "Tell me, what do you know?"
Before the Seventh Princess could respond, Nightmare in the distance frowned, moved his palm, and leaped to pat Luo Qing's arm that was holding the Seventh Princess tightly.
Luo Qing dodged subconsciously, looked at Nightmare in astonishment, and Nightmare said calmly, "You hurt her."
Luo Qing looked at the Seventh Princess, who was stroking the painful part.
Luo Qing pursed her lips, looked at Nightmare again, and then continued to ask: "What do you know, please tell me directly."
"Yelu Shangxie and Jiu'er met before, but Jiu'er was still young at the time, so he probably doesn't remember it anymore. I'm not sure if Yelu Shangxie still remembers it, so I remind you, be careful." Seven The princess' tone was still flat, as if she didn't feel any pain.
Luo Qing's face darkened, and he asked, "You mean, Yelu Shangxie came here for the princess?"
The Seventh Princess shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's better to be prepared for it."
Luo Qing stared anxiously at the back of Seventh Princess leaving, and ran all the way here just to leave behind this sentence, is there a mistake?
"Look at whatever you want, if you're not at ease, follow along." Seeing Ye Shang staring blankly at the direction Seventh Princess left, Luo Qing said angrily.
Nightmare didn't answer, and Luo Qing never thought that she would answer, just when she was about to leave and go back to the room, Nightmare suddenly jumped up and chased in the direction Seventh Princess left.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, very speechless, but her heart felt a little lonely at this moment, as if she was alone in the world, when would she be able to let go of all the troubles and act only according to her own will.
There was a gentle breeze, which made people feel a little cool, and realized that the world was almost over, and was about to go back to the room, but turned around and was stunned again, and then happily called out: "Sister Ye, why are you here?"
"Qing'er." Ye Qiuqi showed a gentle smile.
Luo Qing couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her tightly. The heart that had been tense and didn't dare to let go, relaxed a little, and her eyes became moist unconsciously. Unfortunately, being able to see someone who made her relax made her feel a little wronged.
"It's been hard work for you during this time." Ye Qiuqi could feel Luo Qing's mixed emotions, and patted her on the back lightly, without letting her go.
Seeing that Luo Qing hadn't come back for a long time, Li Xiao thought that Mrs. Luo's condition had worsened, so she found out without worrying. Who knew that she didn't see anyone in Mrs. Luo's room, so she walked to the backyard of the mansion, and walked away from her. I saw two figures hugging each other tightly.
One of them was very familiar, and it was Luo Qing whom she couldn't find anywhere, and the person he was holding could be seen clearly through the moonlight.
It was Ye Qiuqi who was somewhat hostile to her on the day of their marriage.
Li Xiao's footsteps froze, she couldn't move anymore, she watched them for as long as they hugged each other, and finally they separated, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Li Xiao's body trembled.
There was a happy smile on Luo Qing's face, and her eyes were shining, which was a side she had never seen before.
Li Xiao lowered her eyes, the distance was a little far away, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, it was just the atmosphere between the two of them, which made people feel that they shouldn't mix.
Li Xiao stood for a while, then turned and left, her steps a little messy.
Luo Qing and Ye Qiuqi reunited after a long absence, and they didn't pay attention to the movement around them.
"Sister Ye, why did you suddenly appear here? If someone notices, you may be in big trouble." After the joy, Luo Qing couldn't help but start to worry.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know why recently. The people monitoring the Princess Mansion have been lured away. I observed for a long time, and only came in after confirming that it was safe." Ye Qiuqi patted Luo Qing's head and said amusedly: "You little girl You can't worry less about your brain, thinking about so many things all day, aren't you tired?"
"If you get used to it, you won't feel tired or not."
Ye Qiuqi shook her head helplessly and said, "You, you are all right. By the way, what's going on with Auntie, it's said that Auntie's condition is very serious?"
"It's okay, I spread the news on purpose, have you forgotten our previous plan?" Luo Qing blinked and reminded.
"What do you plan to do with the news at this time, the Ye family doesn't have much power in the capital anymore." Ye Qiuqi frowned and said, it can be said that apart from her, there is no one in the Ye family in the capital.
"Don't worry, I've found a suitable candidate, and I don't need the Ye family to come forward." Speaking of the Ye family, Luo Qing's tone was a little heavy.
Ye Qiuqi knew Luo Qing well, and she could tell from her tone that she had something on her mind, so she asked, "Did something happen?"
Luo Qing looked at Ye Qiuqi, hesitated for a long time and still didn't say anything, not because she didn't believe Ye Qiuqi, but because this matter was just her guess, speaking without any evidence would only hurt each other's feelings.
"Sister Ye, have you been in the capital?"
"Well, I'm worried that when you employ people, you won't be able to find them." Ye Qiuqi didn't embarrass Luo Qing, and followed her words to change the subject.
"Sister Ye, you should leave the capital."
Ye Qiuqi's body stiffened, and she said, "I'll just hide in the dark, so I won't disturb you."
Luo Qing shook her head and said, "I'm worried that your whereabouts have been monitored all the time. The reason no one took action is because the timing was wrong. I'm worried..."
Ye Qiuqi interrupted her and said: "Okay, you should worry less, think so much all day long, if you are not tired, I will feel tired for you. Although my kung fu can't be said to be very powerful, it should not be underestimated. It's you who can protect yourself well, have your identity been exposed?"
"Then tell me your current address." Luo Qing was even more worried.
Ye Qiuqi had no choice but to tell her the current address. Seeing Luo Qing's relieved look, she said helplessly, "You, I really have nothing to do with you."
The number of times she comes back every year is limited, and it has been five years, and she has heard very little about the Queen Mother in the capital. This time she came back suddenly, and the Seventh Princess' intentional reminder made Luo Qing feel dizzy.
Could it be that she came back because of the matter with Li Xiao?
The seventh princess saw Luo Qing's doubts, so she just smiled mysteriously, as if I knew the reason, but I didn't say anything, which made Luo Qing feel helpless.
Only Luo Qing and Li Xiao knew about Mrs. Luo's waking up, and everyone else only knew that Mrs. Luo's condition was getting worse day by day.
No matter who was behind the poisoning, it was all for the death of Mrs. Luo, so she simply used this opportunity to let Mrs. Luo feign death and leave.
At first, she wanted to ask the Ye family to help, but now she has a better candidate, Yun Wei.
No matter what the result of Yunwei's investigation is, she will come back, as long as she is sure that Yunwei is reliable, she can help.
Luo Qing had a vague feeling about the relationship between Yunwei and her mother, but she still didn't quite understand it.
Luo Qing glanced at Li Xiao who was sitting next to her, and sighed softly in her heart, originally she had considered whether to feign death with Mrs. Luo and leave, but just thinking of Li Xiao's position, she gave up this idea.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiao asked aloud.
"Is the princess happy?"
"Well, Grandma Huang doted on me since I was a child. Now that she is back, I am of course happy. I haven't seen her for a long time." Li Xiao's voice was full of excitement that could not be concealed.
"She treats you well?"
"Well, very good, she is the best person in this world to me." Li Xiao nodded heavily.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, although it didn't show on her face, Li Xiao still felt his unbelieving attitude, and explained: "My concubine mother is the niece of Grandma Huang, and she will be closer to me."
Luo Qing didn't expect that there was such a relationship, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something unhappy."
Li Xiao shook her head, changed the subject and said, "You just keep Nightmare, is it alright?"
"Well, it's okay, Nightmare's kung fu is not weak, and there are some small things in the room, and my mother has woken up, I have already told her about it, and she will take care of it." Luo Qing laughed road.
"En." Li Xiao nodded and said, "Will you leave too?" Her voice was weak, with a hint of sadness.
Luo Qing felt depressed after hearing this, and replied: "No."
"Really?" Li Xiao looked at Luo Qing expectantly.
"Really, I won't go anywhere until the toxins in your body are cleaned out."
Li Xiao nodded, not as happy as she was at the beginning, she understood the meaning of Luo Qing's words, as long as she recovered, he was ready to leave, for a moment, she even hoped that her face could never recover, so that Otherwise, Luo Qing would not leave.
This idea is a bit silly, Li Xiao laughed at herself.
Luo Qing was a little at a loss, she didn't know which sentence made Li Xiao unhappy.
The car stopped slowly, Luo Qing got out of the car first, and stretched out her hand to Li Xiao.
This time, Li Xiao didn't avoid it, and generously supported Luo Qing's hand to get off the carriage. She knew that she couldn't express her feelings, especially at the moment when the other party was about to leave, if there was no way to keep him , it is better to create some memories, when you think about it in the future, you have something to think about.
Luo Qing no longer pretended to be herself. In the eyes of outsiders, although Luo Qing was still thin, she was not as good as before, where a gust of wind could blow her down.
With her delicate and enchanting face, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile, making people unconsciously focus on her.
When the queen mother returned to the palace, the emperor specially arranged a banquet to welcome the queen mother.
Civil and military officials brought their family members and school-age girls here, because the Queen Mother has a hobby, that is, she likes to propose marriages to people of the right age in the court at the banquet.Moreover, she pointed out that the marriage was all based on her will, and she didn't care about the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, or the difference in family status.
Before the banquet started, quite a few people had already arrived, and the voices of acquaintances talking could be seen everywhere.
Luo Qing and Li Xiao, led by the eunuch in charge, came to the seats arranged for them and sat down.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a woman dressed as a royal lady came over and said quietly, "Ninth Sister, can I sit here?"
Li Xiao looked up, the tenth princess was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, Li Xiao sighed slightly in her heart, and beckoned: "Come here."
Luo Qing got up to salute and said, "Luo Qing has seen the tenth princess."
"Brother-in-law, will I disturb you and Ninth Sister if I sit here?" The tenth princess waved her hand, hesitated and did not sit down.
"It's okay, tenth princess, please sit down." Luo Qing said with a light smile, the smile seemed to have the power to warm people's hearts, and the grievance in tenth princess's heart dissipated a little.
She leaned against Li Xiao and sat down, her hands hugged Li Xiao's arm tightly, her head was buried in Li Xiao's shoulder, her body trembled slightly.
Li Xiao knew she was crying, but didn't stop her, and patted her on the back lightly, silently comforting her.
Luo Qing seemed to know nothing, and slowly sipped the tea.
They all understand that the tenth princess is definitely not having a good time in the palace recently.People who used to dislike the third princess, but dared not provoke them, vented all their grievances on the tenth princess when they saw the downfall of the third princess.
Without the protection of the third princess, and the fifth prince is not close to this younger sister, one can imagine the situation of the tenth princess.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xiao patted Princess Ten on the back, and said softly: "Shuang'er, don't cry anymore, the banquet is about to start, it would be bad to cry any more."
The tenth princess got up from Lixiao's arms, and Lixiao took out a handkerchief to wipe away the remaining tears on the face of the tenth princess, "If you don't want to stay in the palace, come live with me in the mansion, where no one will make things difficult for you."
"Really, brother-in-law won't you mind?" The tenth princess opened her eyes wide and looked at Luo Qing.
Luo Qing didn't hear the conversation between the Lixiao sisters, she was talking to the Seventh Princess with gestures.
Seeing that Luo Qing ignored him, the tenth princess hesitated and said, "Ninth sister, is brother-in-law unwilling?"
Li Xiao turned her head and followed his line of sight to look at the seventh princess on the opposite side. The seventh princess inadvertently caught a glimpse of Li Xiao's eyes, quickly put her hands away, and went to serve the tea on the table instead.
Luo Qing frowned, a little puzzled, who knew that the Seventh Princess didn't have a look in her eyes, at this moment, someone kicked her, turned her head to look, and met Shang Lixiao's slightly angry eyes.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qing asked in a daze.
"Shuang'er wants to live in the mansion for a while, and ask your opinion." Li Xiao's tone was slightly cold.
"Who is Shuang'er?" Luo Qing was even more at a loss, how could there be another person named Shuang'er after a while.
The tenth princess blushed slightly and said, "It's me."
"Ahem." Luo Qing choked on her own saliva and coughed.
Li Xiao hurriedly patted his back lightly to ease his discomfort, the displeasure in her eyes subsided a lot, she shouldn't have reacted so much, outsiders may see them as husband and wife, but in fact they are not even friends.
Luo Qing smiled awkwardly: "It's fine for the princess to make the decision, and you don't need to ask my opinion."
"Thank you Ninth Sister, and thank you Brother-in-law." The Tenth Princess said happily, Luo Qing shook her head, and sighed inwardly, how did the Tenth Princess grow so big with such a simple temperament.
Luo Qing's gaze shifted to Princess Seven again, wanting to find out what was about to happen from her.
When Li Xiao saw it, she quietly asked: "The son-in-law and the Seventh Sister have a very good relationship, why don't you sit with the Seventh Sister in the past?" Some things are clearly inappropriate, but some emotions can't be controlled.
Luo Qing blinked, and looked at the tenth princess in a daze.The tenth princess shrank her neck and looked away, why did she feel that Ninth Sister's tone was very subtle,
"The princess was joking." Luo Qing didn't know the reason, so he could only respond with one sentence.
"I'm serious." Li Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a dangerous light, seeing the interaction between Luo Qing and the Seventh Princess, her heart was like a pile of flames, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.Just thinking about what is out of sight.
"I'm not familiar with Seventh Princess." Luo Qing said hastily.
"En." Li Xiao responded casually, suppressing the depression in her heart, she shouldn't be like this, it has nothing to do with who Luo Qing looks at.
"I'm going to change clothes, Shuang'er, you should also tidy up, your face is so ugly." Li Xiao got up and said.
"Ah, oh, good." The tenth princess pursed her lips and stood up.
"I'll go with you." Luo Qing followed suit.
Li Xiao refused: "No need, it's inconvenient for you to follow, it's fine to be with Lianxiangxiyu."
The tenth princess cast a sympathetic look at Luo Qing. Although she didn't understand, she also understood that Ninth Sister had overturned the jealousy.She used to think about what it would be like for Ninth Sister to be jealous, but today she admired it once, which is really surprising.
Luo Qing was full of doubts and could only sit down again.
Lixiao walked out of the hall, called Xiyu, whispered a few words in her ear, Xiyu nodded, turned and walked towards the way she came.
The tenth princess asked curiously: "Ninth Sister, what did you ask Xiyu to do?"
"Some small things, let's go quickly, time is running out."
"Then we don't have to change it."
"You also said, if you didn't make my clothes wet from crying, why would I need to change them." Li Xiao lightly tapped the forehead of the tenth princess, and scolded with a smile.
The tenth princess stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.
After Li Xiao left, the Seventh Princess made a gesture to Luo Qing. Luo Qing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked outside the hall. The crowd was crowded, and the two of them walked outside without arousing the suspicion of others.
In a remote corner, one person is hiding in the darkness, and the other person is standing among the flowers as if admiring them.
"What's wrong with Jiu'er?" Seventh Princess who was hiding in the darkness asked worriedly.
"How do I know." Luo Qing's voice was full of doubts, she really didn't know why Li Xiao was suddenly angry, let alone that Li Xiao's anger had something to do with her.
"You are responsible for coaxing her well." Princess Seven said immediately.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth. She was not called by the Seventh Princess to inquire about her crimes. She changed the subject and said, "Did something happen tonight?"
"Are you afraid?" Princess Seven said playfully.
"A little bit." Luo Qing replied calmly.
The Seventh Princess smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager loves Jiu'er very much, so she might embarrass you. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't have too much trouble, you won't get into trouble. If you insist on meddling, even I won't." To ensure your safety."
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows, knowing that this was a reminder from the Seventh Princess, so she didn't ask any more.
Xiyu peeked at Luo Qing not far away, she couldn't see who was hiding in the dark, but the princess told her to pay attention to the traces of the son-in-law and the seventh princess, presumably the person in the dark was the seventh princess.
How could the son-in-law be with the seventh princess?
Although her actions were secretive enough, they were very conspicuous in the eyes of Luo Qing and the Seventh Princess. When she first appeared, the two of them had already spotted her, but they just didn't bother to pay attention.
"Jiu'er really cares about you. After leaving for such a short while, I will send someone to watch over you, lest you will be abducted." Seventh Princess teased.
"Princess is just worried about my body." Luo Qing's voice was gentle, with a slight smile, enjoying Li Xiao's concern for her.
"Is that so, I'm afraid that some people think they're smart and misunderstand what others mean." Seventh Princess dropped the unclear words and left from the dark place.
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows, that's not the case, could there be other reasons?
Luo Qing stood there for a while, and saw Li Xiao walking with the tenth princess and Lianxiang from a distance, so she went up to meet her.
After leaving just now, Li Xiao's mood has recovered, she suddenly saw Luo Qing, and said unexpectedly: "Why is the son-in-law here?"
"I saw that you haven't returned home for a long time, and I was really bored inside, so I came out and waited for you." Luo Qing laughed.
The tenth princess clapped her hands beside her and said, "Ninth Sister and brother-in-law have such a good relationship, and they don't want to part for such a short time. I really envy others."
Li Xiao's color was slightly red, and Luo Qing joked: "If the tenth princess has a wishful husband, maybe she will do the same. The main reason is that the princess really has a favorite, and it is not convenient to tell the father. You can tell us, maybe we can Might as well help."
"Brother-in-law made fun of me." The tenth princess blushed and hid behind Li Xiao, without any sign of crying.
Luo Qing and Li Xiao looked at each other, very surprised, it was obviously just a joke, but they didn't expect to find out that the other party had a lover.
"I don't know which family's young master caught our eyes." Li Xiao asked tentatively.
"Ninth Sister, are you also making fun of me?" The tenth princess shook Li Xiao's arm, with dissatisfaction and embarrassment on her face.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you say it earlier, it may help you. If you wait until the father wants to marry you, then it will be difficult. And tonight, don't make too much noise. If you cause the emperor Grandma's attention, don't blame me for not helping you." Li Xiao said seriously.
At the beginning, I didn't know what the little girl was thinking, so I didn't care. Now that I know that the little girl has her own heart, then tonight will be in danger.
Luo Qing's heart sank, her bad premonition was even stronger now, and she hoped that there would be no troubles.
When the three of them returned to the banquet, most of the people had already sat down, Xiyu whispered a few words in Lixiao's ear.Li Xiao nodded, she no longer had the mood to care about before, and now she is more worried about Shuang'er's situation.
Following the eunuch's sharp cry, everyone stopped talking and knelt down on the ground, shouting long live three times and thousand years old three times.
The emperor supported the empress dowager and slowly walked through the crowd, stood still in front of the crowd, and said loudly: "Be flat."
When everyone stood up, Luo Qing could see clearly the queen mother beside her, with a kind smile on her face, a smile on her face, and cloudy eyes that old people often have, as if she had been unable to distinguish the world for many years.
"My mother is coming back today, and I specially arranged a banquet, which is lively and lively. It's been a long time since my mother has seen these late-born children." The emperor's voice was full of respect.
The queen mother nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor's son understands Ai's thoughts best. I heard that Jiu'er is married, which family's son did he marry?"
"He's the son of General Luo's family." The queen said with a smile.
"Is that Shaohua's child?" The queen mother was puzzled at first, and then began to protest: "No, no, how can you marry that second generation ancestor? The Ai family disagrees, and they don't agree with anything."
This time at the banquet, Luo Shaohua was also there, his face became very embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to hide his head in the crowd.
Li Xiao turned her head and glanced at Luo Qing, who touched her nose in embarrassment.
"It's not Luo Shaohua, it's Luo Qing." The emperor explained, looked up in Luo Qing's direction and said, "Luo Qing, you haven't come out to see your grandma."
Luo Qing got up and made a bow with both hands: "Luo Qing has met Grandma Huang."
A flash of sharpness flashed quickly in the Queen Mother's sight, she nodded and said: "A good-looking talent, not bad, not bad, really good."
"Thank you grandma for your compliment." Luo Qing caught the fleeting sight of the queen mother and became vigilant in his heart.
"What is your official position now?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"I have no official position." Luo Qing replied without any trace of guilt.
"Then is it proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"I dare not say I am proficient, I only know a little bit."
"There is a pair of empty skins, but there is no ink in the stomach, do you think you are worthy of Jiu'er from the Ai family?" The queen mother yelled angrily.
As soon as Li Xiao wanted to get up, she received Luo Qing's calm and restless eyes, so she had no choice but to be patient, and the people below whispered, Luo Shaohua came out from the crowd with a smug look on his face, I'm not good , You are even worse as a son-in-law.
"Luo Qing was able to get the favor of the princess, it is the fate of several lifetimes of cultivation. Although I have no official position, nor do I have the skills to show it, but Luo Qing has a sincere heart."
The Empress Dowager looked Luo Qing up and down, her eyes revealing a bit of admiration, and said: "This is the first time Aijia has seen someone like you who has no ink in his chest and can speak so confidently."
"That's because Luo Qing understands what the Empress Dowager thinks. Luo Qing hereby promises that she will never let the princess suffer in this life." Luo Qing said bluntly.
The sharp gaze just now made Luo Qing understand that the reason why the queen mother showed a disregard for world affairs was because she didn't want the emperor to feel threatened. After all, the queen mother knew the emperor best in the world.
The empress dowager restrained her edge because she was unwilling to fall out with the emperor, but it didn't mean she was really stupid.
The Queen Mother just asked a few questions about whether Luo Qing married Li Xiao because of her official position, and whether she ignored Li Xiao for personal pursuit.
Luo Qing understood, and also answered the answer that the Queen Mother wanted to know the most. The Queen Mother was naturally satisfied with his sharp wit.
The ministers didn't know what kind of riddle these two people were playing. After looking at each other, they heard the queen mother laughing and said: "Okay, this grandson-in-law is very popular with the family, Jiu'er, take your husband-in-law into the palace sometime." Gong stays with Aijia well, long time no see, Aijia misses him very much."
Li Xiao quickly got up and said yes.
After Luo Qing sat down, the tenth princess asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about with Grandma Huang?"
"It's normal for children not to understand the things of adults. When you get married, you will understand." Luo Qing said with a faint smile.
The tenth princess curled her lips in dissatisfaction, with an unhappy expression on her face.
Li Xiao originally wanted to ask, but seeing Luo Qing's answer, she didn't ask any more. If he said the same thing, "I don't understand because you are still young, then Li Xiao would be ashamed in front of the ten princesses."
The Empress Dowager did not bother Luo Qing any more, but asked other teenagers, and some even asked the Empress Dowager to marry her in front of everyone. After the Empress Dowager asked the other party's opinion, she understood that the two were in love, but the elders of both parties wanted to marry each other. After being reluctant, he nodded generously and offered the marriage.
Push the atmosphere of the dinner party to a climax.
At the busiest time, it is also the time when troubles are most likely to occur. People from outside report, and envoys come to Beijing. Now they are waiting outside the hall.
Luo Qing looked at the Seventh Princess in shock, and the Seventh Princess nodded without a trace.
Luo Qing quickly lowered her head to hide the shock in her eyes. Is this the accident that the Seventh Princess said?
The dynasty Luo Qing belonged to was called Qin. Qin had already been unified in the previous generation of the emperor.
A few strangely dressed people walked in from outside.
"Brother-in-law, who are they? Why do they look so strange, their beards cover their faces." The tenth princess asked curiously.
Li Xiao was also a little curious.
Luo Qing smiled wryly and said: "I haven't seen it either, if my guess is right, they should be barbarians, ten princesses, they are probably here to propose marriage, you must hide later. "
"Really?" The tenth princess opened her eyes wide in shock.
"Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Luo Qing shook her head and said, she couldn't be sure, she was just guessing, after all, the time when this barbarian came gave people a very weird feeling.
"Ninth sister, why don't I go first?" The tenth princess was a little scared by Luo Qing's words.
"As long as you are obedient and obedient, there will be no problem. This is a welcome banquet for Grandma Huang. If you leave at this time, you will be in trouble if you are caught in the wrong place." Li Xiao frowned and persuaded, but was told by Luo Qing , She couldn't help but worry in her heart.
Luo Qing's attention was already on the group of barbarians.
The leader of the barbarian is a young man, about 20 years old, dressed in accordance with the customs of the Han people, without stubble on his face, and has the handsome demeanor of a middle-aged man. Behind him are two middle-aged men. Profuse Khan, wearing the official uniform of the Hu people's court, judging from the clothes, his official position is not low.
With one hand across his chest, he bowed and said, "I have seen the Great Qin Emperor."
"Pingshen." The emperor said in a deep voice.
One of the middle-aged Hu Ren said: "Emperor Daqin, this is Yelu Shangxie, the third prince of our clan."
Yelu Shangxie bowed again and said: "Before coming, Father Khan asked me to say hello to you for him many times. It is a great regret in life that we have not seen each other until now. If there is a chance, I really want to See you again."
The emperor laughed loudly and said: "It's hard for your father Khan to remember the old friend. I often think of the scene back then. If there is a chance, I will definitely meet your father Khan again and compete."
Yelu Shangxie said loudly: "If the emperor is interested, my people are willing to accompany the emperor to train soldiers."
The faces of the civil and military officials present all changed, and the emperor's expression was also a little ugly.
The Seventh Princess snorted and said, "Every life of our Daqin people is a priceless treasure. We cherish life, but we never fear war. If you want to test the strength of our Daqin soldiers and horses, of course we will not refuse, as long as you can Pay the price."
If Yelu Shangxie is a temptation, then the Seventh Princess' words are a blatant threat.
Luo Qing's eyes immediately showed admiration.
Li Xiao glanced at him lightly.
Yelu Shangxie raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the Emperor also mean this?"
The emperor nodded and said: "That's right." The emperor was dissatisfied with Yelu Shangxie's attitude, what the seventh princess said was exactly what he wanted to say, but there were some things that the seventh princess said, but he, the emperor, couldn't say it.
If he had said those words, then this war would have been unavoidable. An emperor has the dignity of being an emperor. Even if he has no strength, he has to do something if he has something to say.
Yelu Shangxie smiled slightly and said, "Shangxie is just making a suggestion, so why should the emperor take it seriously. The most important purpose of Shangxie's visit this time is to come here to propose a marriage, and let our relationship go to a higher level."
"Oh, I don't know who to ask for?" the emperor asked.
The tenth princess tensed up all of a sudden, she hid her body behind Lixiao, howling in her heart, she would have run away if she had known.
"Shang Xie has nothing to do with the princess and miss of your country, please allow the emperor to allow Shang Xie to stay longer."
"The visitor is a guest, Prince Yelu should stay in the capital for a while longer, and enjoy the scenery of my dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come here, set up a seat for Prince Yelu."
Yelu Shangxie saluted again, and then sat down at the seat arranged beside him.
The biggest turmoil of this birthday banquet disappeared invisibly when the seventh princess interjected.
When leaving the palace, the tenth princess stayed by Li Xiao's side and refused to leave.Li Xiao had no choice but to send someone to deliver a message to the imperial concubine, bringing the tenth princess back home.
But the most difficult thing came.
She and Luo tend to sleep in separate rooms, and they don't like too many servants, so until now, no news has spread, but now, the tenth princess stays, if they continue to sleep in separate rooms, if the tenth princess finds out , will cause a lot of trouble.
"What's the matter?" Luo Qing asked aloud when she saw that she had been frowning since getting into the carriage.
Seeing Princess Ten lying on the window of the car, Li Xiao was talking to Lianxiang excitedly, not paying attention to the situation inside the car at all, so she whispered her worries in Luo Qing's ear.
Luo Qing was also stunned. In the past, Luo Qing might have chosen to tell Lixiao her identity, but now, the selfishness in her heart prevents her from speaking out about her identity, and she even deliberately avoids the possibility of her identity being exposed.
"Does the princess trust me?" Luo Qing suddenly asked when she was about to arrive at the princess mansion.
Li Xiao met his gaze, full of sincerity let Li Xiao understand the other party's plan, and nodded slightly.
Luo Qing thought it was a very simple thing for the two of them to sleep together, but when they really had to do it, they realized that the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel.
One bed, two people are very embarrassed.
Luo Qing rubbed her temples, the two of them looked at each other for a long time, neither of them said a word, if this continues, neither of them will be able to fall asleep.
"Princess, it's getting late, you'd better go to bed quickly!" Luo Qing persuaded.
"I'm not sleepy yet. If the son-in-law is sleepy, he should go to bed earlier." Li Xiao shook her head.
She has never slept with a man before, how could she sleep.
"I'm going to check on my mother's situation. If the princess is sleepy, go to bed first, don't wait for me." Luo Qing got up and smiled at Li Xiao, opened the door and walked outside.
If they continue to sit, neither of them will have sex. In that case, why doesn't she leave for a while, so that Li Xiao can feel more at ease.
Li Xiao opened her mouth, but finally did not stop Luo Qing.
When Luo Qing went out, he didn't go to the room where Mrs. Luo lived, but walked to the backyard.
There are too many things hidden in her heart, even if she lies down, it is not so easy to fall asleep.
It has been almost half a month since Yunwei left, and according to the time, Yunwei will have half a month to come back, but, for Luo Qing, days are like years.
"Master." Nightmare stood behind him, hesitant to speak.
"Huh?" Luo Qing looked at her suspiciously, using the moonlight to clearly see the embarrassment on her face, as if she wanted to ask some difficult questions.
Luo Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, what can make our night lady so difficult?"
"Will that woman who has been here since you left come again?" Nightmare bit his lip and asked vaguely.
"Which woman?" Luo Qing was even more puzzled, why didn't she know that there were any women in the mansion.
"It's the one you said you could trust." Nightmare gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Qing fiercely, very suspicious that this person was pretending to be stupid.
"Oh, that." Luo Qing understood who Nightmare was talking about, and deliberately said, "I still don't know who you're talking about."
Nightmare's hand touched the hilt of the sword, and he wished he could draw his sword and chop off the master who was pretending to be stupid.
Luo Qing just smiled, with a bit of malicious intentions.
"She's asking me. You know it, so why tease her." A sudden voice broke the confrontation between the two.
Nightmare was slightly stunned, and then a little embarrassed.
Luo Qing couldn't help laughing, and said, "Since you've come a long time ago, why didn't you show up, and why did you hide in the dark and eavesdrop?"
Seventh Princess fluttered down from the roof, glanced lightly at Nightmare and said, "I listened openly, so why would I eavesdrop?"
Luo Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Can you stop speaking so confidently, I feel embarrassed for you."
"I'm happy." Seventh Princess snorted softly, looked at Ye Shang, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"fine."
"It's okay, you will ask her news?" Luo Qing went around behind Nightmare and asked curiously: "Why didn't I know you still have curiosity?"
"Talk slowly, I'll help you watch people." After Ye Shang finished speaking calmly, he turned and left, his back seemed to be running away.
"What's wrong with her?" Seventh Princess wondered.
Luo Qing shrugged and said, "You who are also women don't know, how can I know?"
Seventh Princess looked at Nightmare's back and fell into deep thought.
Luo Qing interrupted the Seventh Princess's contemplation, and asked, "Are you here tonight just to look at Nightmare's back in a daze?"
The Seventh Princess returned to her senses and said seriously: "No, I came here to tell you, be careful of Yelu Shangxie, the visitor is not kind, I'm afraid he will attack Jiu'er."
"If you care about it, you're in chaos. The princess is already married, so naturally she can no longer be a candidate for marriage." Luo Ting wanted to laugh, but when her eyes met the serious eyes of the seventh princess, she couldn't laugh at all. , his heart sank for no reason, with some uneasiness emerging, he subconsciously grabbed Seventh Princess's wrist and asked, "Do you know anything?"
Qigong took the initiative, frowned and said, "Let go."
Not only did Luo Qing not let go, but she tightened her grip on the contrary, and asked, "Tell me, what do you know?"
Before the Seventh Princess could respond, Nightmare in the distance frowned, moved his palm, and leaped to pat Luo Qing's arm that was holding the Seventh Princess tightly.
Luo Qing dodged subconsciously, looked at Nightmare in astonishment, and Nightmare said calmly, "You hurt her."
Luo Qing looked at the Seventh Princess, who was stroking the painful part.
Luo Qing pursed her lips, looked at Nightmare again, and then continued to ask: "What do you know, please tell me directly."
"Yelu Shangxie and Jiu'er met before, but Jiu'er was still young at the time, so he probably doesn't remember it anymore. I'm not sure if Yelu Shangxie still remembers it, so I remind you, be careful." Seven The princess' tone was still flat, as if she didn't feel any pain.
Luo Qing's face darkened, and he asked, "You mean, Yelu Shangxie came here for the princess?"
The Seventh Princess shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's better to be prepared for it."
Luo Qing stared anxiously at the back of Seventh Princess leaving, and ran all the way here just to leave behind this sentence, is there a mistake?
"Look at whatever you want, if you're not at ease, follow along." Seeing Ye Shang staring blankly at the direction Seventh Princess left, Luo Qing said angrily.
Nightmare didn't answer, and Luo Qing never thought that she would answer, just when she was about to leave and go back to the room, Nightmare suddenly jumped up and chased in the direction Seventh Princess left.
Luo Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, very speechless, but her heart felt a little lonely at this moment, as if she was alone in the world, when would she be able to let go of all the troubles and act only according to her own will.
There was a gentle breeze, which made people feel a little cool, and realized that the world was almost over, and was about to go back to the room, but turned around and was stunned again, and then happily called out: "Sister Ye, why are you here?"
"Qing'er." Ye Qiuqi showed a gentle smile.
Luo Qing couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her tightly. The heart that had been tense and didn't dare to let go, relaxed a little, and her eyes became moist unconsciously. Unfortunately, being able to see someone who made her relax made her feel a little wronged.
"It's been hard work for you during this time." Ye Qiuqi could feel Luo Qing's mixed emotions, and patted her on the back lightly, without letting her go.
Seeing that Luo Qing hadn't come back for a long time, Li Xiao thought that Mrs. Luo's condition had worsened, so she found out without worrying. Who knew that she didn't see anyone in Mrs. Luo's room, so she walked to the backyard of the mansion, and walked away from her. I saw two figures hugging each other tightly.
One of them was very familiar, and it was Luo Qing whom she couldn't find anywhere, and the person he was holding could be seen clearly through the moonlight.
It was Ye Qiuqi who was somewhat hostile to her on the day of their marriage.
Li Xiao's footsteps froze, she couldn't move anymore, she watched them for as long as they hugged each other, and finally they separated, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Li Xiao's body trembled.
There was a happy smile on Luo Qing's face, and her eyes were shining, which was a side she had never seen before.
Li Xiao lowered her eyes, the distance was a little far away, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, it was just the atmosphere between the two of them, which made people feel that they shouldn't mix.
Li Xiao stood for a while, then turned and left, her steps a little messy.
Luo Qing and Ye Qiuqi reunited after a long absence, and they didn't pay attention to the movement around them.
"Sister Ye, why did you suddenly appear here? If someone notices, you may be in big trouble." After the joy, Luo Qing couldn't help but start to worry.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know why recently. The people monitoring the Princess Mansion have been lured away. I observed for a long time, and only came in after confirming that it was safe." Ye Qiuqi patted Luo Qing's head and said amusedly: "You little girl You can't worry less about your brain, thinking about so many things all day, aren't you tired?"
"If you get used to it, you won't feel tired or not."
Ye Qiuqi shook her head helplessly and said, "You, you are all right. By the way, what's going on with Auntie, it's said that Auntie's condition is very serious?"
"It's okay, I spread the news on purpose, have you forgotten our previous plan?" Luo Qing blinked and reminded.
"What do you plan to do with the news at this time, the Ye family doesn't have much power in the capital anymore." Ye Qiuqi frowned and said, it can be said that apart from her, there is no one in the Ye family in the capital.
"Don't worry, I've found a suitable candidate, and I don't need the Ye family to come forward." Speaking of the Ye family, Luo Qing's tone was a little heavy.
Ye Qiuqi knew Luo Qing well, and she could tell from her tone that she had something on her mind, so she asked, "Did something happen?"
Luo Qing looked at Ye Qiuqi, hesitated for a long time and still didn't say anything, not because she didn't believe Ye Qiuqi, but because this matter was just her guess, speaking without any evidence would only hurt each other's feelings.
"Sister Ye, have you been in the capital?"
"Well, I'm worried that when you employ people, you won't be able to find them." Ye Qiuqi didn't embarrass Luo Qing, and followed her words to change the subject.
"Sister Ye, you should leave the capital."
Ye Qiuqi's body stiffened, and she said, "I'll just hide in the dark, so I won't disturb you."
Luo Qing shook her head and said, "I'm worried that your whereabouts have been monitored all the time. The reason no one took action is because the timing was wrong. I'm worried..."
Ye Qiuqi interrupted her and said: "Okay, you should worry less, think so much all day long, if you are not tired, I will feel tired for you. Although my kung fu can't be said to be very powerful, it should not be underestimated. It's you who can protect yourself well, have your identity been exposed?"
"Then tell me your current address." Luo Qing was even more worried.
Ye Qiuqi had no choice but to tell her the current address. Seeing Luo Qing's relieved look, she said helplessly, "You, I really have nothing to do with you."
