Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Duke Cheng's Mansion, the Empress Dowager's natal Li family, after Emperor Jing Yuan ascended the throne, the Li family was sought after by all the rich and powerful wives in the capital. At the end of last year, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager gave the title to his son. Considering his uncle's hard work, Emperor Jing Yuan, And his cousin's help to him back then was inherited by his cousin Yuan Jue.The new Duke Chengen has three sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is already married, and the youngest daughter is a concubine, but she is young and smart, so she is loved by the old lady of Duke Cheng's mansion. , The Queen Mother also likes this grandniece very much.

And it was Miss Li's 13th birthday, and invited all the daughters in the capital to attend, because Cheng Engong was quite blessed, and the daughters who received the invitation agreed to come no matter what their thoughts were.

Manman came out of the palace after having lunch. After all, she was still in class. After the morning class, she could play in the afternoon. When she was old next year, she wouldn't have to go to the study.

The princess went out of the palace with a well-fitted outfit. There were more than a dozen maids, eunuchs, and guards from the imperial guards. The gorgeous carriage passed by on the street, causing passers-by to speculate.

In Cheng En Gong Mansion, the luncheon at noon is over, and all the guests are playing in the garden in the afternoon, admiring flowers, throwing pots, or reciting poems.

The servants of Cheng En Gong's Mansion were ordered to keep an eye on the street early in the morning. When they saw the princess's carriage approaching, they immediately sent someone to notify the lady. Li Ruoyi received the notice from the servants, and hurried to the door to greet her.

Coming out of the palace all the way, Manman's eyes never stopped, the scenery outside, even if it was a street vendor, she found it quite interesting.

When Man Man got off the carriage, Li Ruoyi hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and saluted: "See the fourth princess, Your Royal Highness Jin An."

Manman said softly: "Excuse me." She looked at the gate of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. Four gold-plated plaques hung horizontally in the middle of the gate, and on the left and right of her stood two majestic and ferocious stone lions stood There, it seems to be examining the people who come in and out.

Li Ruoyi smiled and stepped forward to hold Manman's wrist, and walked into the mansion, asking the princess how is the journey?

Li Ruoyi is enthusiastic, Manman has already thought of it, but she also feels that she is one year younger than her, and she admires her ability to be so versatile.

At first Li Ruoyi didn't tell the guests she invited that the fourth princess would come, but when she came to the back garden and saw Manman herself, the female guests were a little surprised, followed by unparalleled enthusiasm .

Manman almost couldn't handle it, she only had one mouth, how could she handle more than a dozen mouths?

Manman was absent-minded, so she wanted to leave Cheng'en Gong's mansion earlier, so that she could go shopping in the street in a little more time, but these people were so enthusiastic that she couldn't stand it anymore.

As for Li Ruoyi and her sisters who kept talking about their elder brother's excellence, Manman didn't care at all. After hearing that, she still asked in her heart, is Li Xie as outstanding?If not, don't say genius.Of course, these words can only be held back in my heart.

An hour later, Manman couldn't stay still anymore, she didn't want to stay in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, she wanted to go shopping, Li Ruoyi froze at that moment, but even if it was her birthday, it was still the biggest princess, so in the end Li Ruoyi I had to arrange for everyone to go out for a stroll.

The moment Man Man left the palace, Li Xie found her, and he immediately came out of the prime minister's mansion, calling it a breather and a refreshment, even if he wanted to prepare for next year's spring, he had to combine work and rest.

He walked in the direction for about half an hour, and finally found that Yaoyao was actually in Cheng'en Gongfu. Although he didn't know why she left the palace, he felt that she would definitely return to the palace later, so he waited outside. alright.

Sure enough, it was time to wait for the rabbit, half an hour later, I saw the middle door of Cheng'en Gong's mansion opened, a large group of young women came out, and three young masters of Cheng'en's mansion, they walked to the left talking and laughing Go, the princess frame slowly followed behind.

Li Xie rubbed his chin and thought about it, his senses were keen, he felt that something was wrong about Yaoyao leaving the palace, so thinking about it, Li Xie took a small alley and followed this group of people from afar.

Manman is very yearning for the lively market. Today, she specially packed a lot of copper coins in her purse when she left the palace. As the host, the girl from the Li family has to take care of all the guests. Of course, Li Ruoyi is mainly in charge of the princess, but the princess does not play cards according to common sense. After coming to this street, she stopped going and went to the small stalls one by one. Two maids, a little eunuch, and six guards followed behind her, blocking the flow of people in front and behind. Maybe others would find it boring, but Manman saw it She worked very hard, she bought things at every small stall, and Caifeng and the others quickly filled up their four hands.

Li Ruoyi felt a little bitter in her heart. She looked at the fifth elder brother beside her, who gave him a look of helplessness. It was not that he was unaware of the plan of Cheng Engong's mansion. He did have this yearning. Favor, he will be no worse than any direct brother in the future, but he has been so courteous for so long, the princess didn't care at all, and was immediately attracted by other interesting things.

Li Xie came slowly from the end of the street, he walked slowly, quite leisurely, Li Ruoyi and others only felt that their eyes were only averted for a while, after a few conversations, someone was courting the princess, And it looks like someone the princess is familiar with!

"Hey, Cai Jianian." Manman laughed heartily, she also has the ability to put on a show, see if she looks like it?

Li Xie leaned slightly, and bowed his hands: "See the fourth princess."

Manman was very happy. Although Li Ruoyi and the others were enthusiastic, she could tell the difference between the good and the bad. Seeing Li Xie at this moment, she felt much more at ease. She smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to go out of the palace, why don't you go shopping with me?" !"

Lixie can't ask for it!Immediately, he bent down and picked up a puppet in the shape of a rabbit from a small vendor's stall on the ground. The rabbit's eyes and lips were red with cinnabar, making it look alive.

"I'll give this gadget to the princess." Li Xie immediately asked the small vendor for the price, and gave five copper coins, which Manman happily accepted.

Immediately, Manman bent down and picked up three puppets of different animals from the stall. She readily paid the copper coins and said, "This one is for grandma, father, and mother."

Because of the small size of the thing, she put it on her body directly.

Afterwards, Li Xie acted as the guide, leading Manman to stroll the whole street, and bought a lot of things that Manman found interesting.

Li Ruoyi and the others kept their faces the whole time, especially Li Wugongzi, he recognized Li Xie, and after a few conversations, because the princess ignored him, he had to step aside in embarrassment.

When he got to the next street, Wang Jian jumped out of nowhere. He was quite active, and his relationship with Li Xie was good both on the surface and in the dark, so there was one more Wang Jian in the next itinerary. Jian, Wang Jian has a sunny and lively personality, and his words are quite funny, which makes Manman's face burst into smiles.

"Hey, this street is full of bookstores!" Manman was a little surprised. This street is not short, but the whole street is full of bookstores. In addition, there is a bookstore and a teahouse at the end of the street. Other streets are much quieter.

Manman couldn't see through her eyes, she was going to buy some books outside the palace to go back, when suddenly she saw a familiar person coming out of the tea house at the end of the street.

"Isn't that the fourth sister?" Manman murmured, Luo Chulan, from afar, she looked like an orchid in an empty valley, and what she saw made people sigh.

Li Xie raised his eyebrows, Wang Jian touched Li Xie's arm, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Miss Luo Si, that boy Hong Liu's sweetheart."

"Hong Liu has moved on." Li Xie sneered, things won't last long after all. Of course, Luo Chulan's attraction to Hong Liu is still there, but Hong Liu's own reason has the upper hand, which is not enough For fear.

Wang Jian was choked. For a while, apart from doing business, Hong Liu held his face and dreamed about his fairy all day long, which made Wang Jian and others feel unreasonable.

Luo Chulan was thinking about her own thoughts, but the maids Chunfang and Xia Rou behind her hurriedly reminded her girl, Luo Chulan looked up and was stunned.

[Spicy chicken system, why didn't you remind me when the fourth princess appeared? ] Luo Chulan pursed her lips and was attacking the strategy system.

The voice of the capture system tablet machine: [This system is a system for capturing valuable men, and women are not within the business scope, unless the other party threatens the host's life. 】

The strategy system will never admit that it really did not find the four princesses and their party.

Li Xie said, with him around, how could these things detect things and people within two meters around him in advance?

Luo Chulan was speechless, she felt that there was nothing to avoid, she stepped forward gracefully, and saluted: "See the princess, Princess Wan'an."

Man Man reached out her hand, then retracted, bit her lip and said, "Free from courtesy."

She was not close to the sisters of the Luo family before, but seeing them now, she felt a little strange in her heart.

Li Xie looked straight ahead, and saw another young man about eighteen or nine years old coming out of the teahouse, with a face like a crown jade, and the appearance of a tree facing the wind.

The youngest son of King Zong Lingrui, Zhao Qi.I don't know if he and Luo Chulan were together, but they came out of the teahouse one after another just to avoid suspicion?

Manman didn't know Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi recognized her and came forward to say hello. For a while, this quiet street seemed more lively.

But everyone had almost finished greeting each other when Manman's frame guard leader came and said that it was getting late and the princess should go back to the palace.So everyone escorted Manman to the carriage frame together, and watched Manman get on the carriage and leave.

It took Zhao Qi a long time to figure out what happened, and finally he put his hands on Li Xie's shoulder familiarly, and asked, "Cai Touming, do you have any thoughts about the fourth princess?"

Now these young masters in the capital have a name for Li Xie, that is: Cai Touming.

This person is direct. The people who were about to leave immediately stopped and listened attentively.

Li Xie glanced around and nodded directly: "Yes, I like the fourth princess very much, and I look forward to the day when I become the fourth princess' consort." That day will not be too long, it will only be in March or April next year, and he will face the emperor Propose marriage.

Zhao Qi was stunned, and it took him a long time to pat Li Xie on the shoulder: "Then work hard, I wish you all the best."

Li Ruoyi and her elder brother were holding their breath, the brother and sister had a lot of expressions on their faces, but they soon returned to normal.

Back in the palace, although Manman felt that she hadn't played enough, she was already very happy. Caifeng and Caishuang were her intimate little padded jackets, and they had already sorted out the things the princess bought.

Manman first asked the little eunuch to go to the imperial study to ask, is her father free?The little eunuch will come back soon and report that His Majesty has nothing else to do at this time, the princess can go to the imperial study.

So Manman took the things for her father and went to the royal study. She bought all small things, such as puppets, wood carvings, New Year pictures, paper-cuts, New Year pictures and paper-cuts can be pasted on the father's dragon case. In addition, wood carvings and puppets can also be placed on the dragon case of the father, which is her filial piety as a daughter.

Emperor Jing Yuan naturally knew that his daughter was out of the palace to play, and knew more about the queen mother's hidden thoughts, but he felt that her daughter would never be fooled by Li's cousin and nephew, but since the queen mother had such thoughts, he always wanted to give her a chance.

Running into the imperial study room like a vine, she put the things in her hands on the table, winked at Emperor Jing Yuan and said: "Father, I gave you a gift!"

When Emperor Jing Yuan saw the things on the table, he suddenly laughed, they were all worthless things, but he benefited from his daughter's filial piety, and then he put the things on the small table on the left side of his dragon chair.

"Have you had a good time today?" Emperor Jing Yuan hadn't found anyone to know what was going on outside the palace, so he casually asked his daughter.

Manman will not be polite, she briefly talked about the time at Li's house in a few sentences, and then talked about the time when she went shopping.

"...Cai Jianian and Wang Jian accompanied me to go shopping, and introduced interesting and delicious things. I also ran into a cousin of Uncle Ruiwang's family, but I don't seem to have met this cousin."

Emperor Jing Yuan's heart skipped a beat, Cai Jianian?Is this kid seizing the opportunity to show courteousness to his daughter?

"Cai Xiang's grandson? Manman thinks Cai Jianian and Li's cousin, how about these two people? Who do you have a better impression of?"

Emperor Jing Yuan asked calmly, but just as he asked, his daughter's face was wrinkled and she muttered: "I don't like cousins ​​of the Li family, they are not good."

"Why not?" Emperor Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Manman flattened her mouth: "Of course it's not good. I have seen a few cousins ​​and maids flirting and flirting. They don't seem to be married yet, right? I don't know which woman is unlucky to marry them , maybe before you get married, you will become a cheap mother in advance."

Her eyes are sharp, and one of the maids seems to be the personal maid of today's birthday star. The elder brother hooks up with the younger sister's maid, isn't that good?Thinking about it this way, Manman didn't plan to say more, so as not to damage the reputation of the birthday star.

Emperor Jing Yuan's expression froze, how could his princess be someone else's cheap mother?

"Cai Jianian is fine. We set off fireworks together during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year." Manman was very distressed, she didn't know how to express that she felt that he was the son-in-law she wanted.

Manman looked at her father eagerly, she actually hoped that her father could ask her what kind of son-in-law she wants in the future?

Emperor Jing Yuan laughed: "Just set off fireworks with you, and you will think about it for a whole year?"

Manman was immediately disappointed, why didn't her father ask her about the conditions of her future son-in-law?In this way, she can repeat the call she made at Tantuo Temple.

Tantuo Temple?Manman immediately thought of Master Fa Xian and the Great Monk. I heard that Master Fa Xian's reputation has become even louder this year. Is the Great Monk the Master Daolin?She's not even sure.

"Father, when will you go to Tantuo Temple again?"

Emperor Jing Yuan was taken aback, why did the topic shift to Tantuo Temple?Then I heard my daughter say: "You are going to Tantuo Temple, you must take me with you. I want to meet Master Faxian and the Great Monk."

The girl's thinking was too jumpy, and Emperor Jing Yuan felt that she couldn't keep up, so after talking for a while, he sent the girl away.After Manman left the Imperial Study Room, she returned to Yongfu Palace to pick up the portion prepared for the Queen Mother, and ran to the Palace of Compassion and Ning excitedly.

It was during dinner that Emperor Jing Yuan learned from Li Deying all about his daughter's departure from the palace, especially what Li Xie said in front of everyone after her daughter returned to the palace.

Although Emperor Jing Yuan was a little annoyed that someone missed his daughter, but if no one cared about him, he was also unhappy. His daughter is so cute, how can no one like it?

Cai Jianian has vision!Emperor Jing Yuan snorted coldly in his heart.

Li Xie was very happy in her heart, following Yaoyao and Ji, she would no longer be locked in the palace, and she could go in and out of the palace from time to time.

The weather in the twelfth lunar month is very cold, especially this year's winter seems to be very cold. Not only is the weather too cold, it will cause some civilians to freeze to death, and they are also afraid that the grassland Tatars will attack the border towns.

Of course, these are things that the imperial court needs to consider. Li Xie and the others who have not entered the officialdom can do nothing. At most, they can only order their business groups to help the common people where they are located and help them survive this cold winter.

After Laba, the heavy snow did not stop, often overnight, the snow layer on the ground thickened, Lixie got up early in the morning, opened the window, and took a breath of cold wind.

Lin Fei and Zhou Wang came in with the maidservants, and told the gossip about the capital by the way.

"Prince Rui's Mansion invited the official media to propose marriage to Miss Luo Si of Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he was not surprised at all, after all, a month ago, Zhao Qi and Luo Chulan were still meeting in the teahouse!

Luo Chulan had just reached the age of Ji, and now the prince's son proposed marriage to her, not to mention that she was a concubine, in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital, she really didn't know when her ancestors burned high incense in their lifetime, and had such a beautiful marriage.

It seems that this sister Luo Chuyu is not engaged yet, right?Of course, it's not that no one has proposed marriage to Luo Chuyu, and now Luo Bang is considering the marriage of these two daughters.

In this cold weather, talking about marriage, if you are anxious enough, can't you wait until the spring of next year?

"How could Princess Rui agree?" Li Xie immediately smiled, how could a mother win over her son?

Luo Chulan knows that after she is old enough, her father and grandmother will definitely make an engagement for her soon, so it's better for her to be optimistic about the candidate first, and let the other party come to propose marriage.

Among all her raiders, there are three people who like her wholeheartedly. Zhao Qi is one of them, but she is also the one with the best status. After all, she is the legitimate son of the real powerful prince of the clan. In the eyes of the world, her status as a concubine is far from worthy. The other party, of course she doesn't care, she just doesn't want to be randomly promised by her father.

All of a sudden, in the month of the twelfth lunar month, the two remaining girls in the Luo family all agreed to kiss each other, and even the cousin Meng Linshu was engaged, and they were all waiting for the sixth ceremony in the coming year, the engagement date.

Luo Chuyu also didn't want her father to find her a scholar whose family background was not as good as that of the Xuanping Hou Mansion in her previous life. Besides, her father's vision was not very good. Wangfei, she also wants to be a first-class imperial wife.So Luo Chuyu chose a potential stock that made a fortune in the previous life, Ye Kailiang, the concubine son of Duke Li.

And Meng Linshu's marriage was settled. The Meng family was originally a scholarly mansion, and the in-laws he chose were also scholars. However, Meng Linshu abandoned the man who only loved the rabbit in his previous life, and chose another Lei family, Lei Minghan.

It took several days for Manman to know that Luo's elder sister and cousins ​​were all going to be engaged, and she felt a little melancholy for a while, since they have grown up, she will be ready next year.

But thinking of Jiji, she will be able to recruit a son-in-law, and she will be able to go wherever she wants in her princess mansion in the future, and she feels very excited.

Manman held her chin thinking, she hasn't seen Luo Bang for a long time, and when will she find a chance to meet him?But then I thought again, it's better not to look for opportunities, when she leaves the palace in the future, there won't be so many taboos and rules, wouldn't it be convenient to see him when she wants to see him?

"Xiao Mingzi, how are Mrs. Chen Liu and Mr. Chen Liu of Duke Lu's Mansion?" Man Man asked in a flash.

Xiao Mingzi said cheerfully: "Princess, Mrs. Sixth Chen is fine. She is the only one who bullies Mr. Sixth Chen. How can Mr. Sixth Chen bully her?"

The fight between Luo Churan and Mrs. Lu Guogong’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is wonderful. Anyway, Luo Churan will not let her man sleep with other women. Chen Shen couldn't sleep with so many housemaids given by Mrs. Guogong. At first, Luo Churan sent the two housemaids to the stove to be fire maids. Later, Chen Shen sent all the maids alone, because He can't get hard on other women.

However, Luo Churan blatantly told Chen Shen that if he was her man for a day, then he had to obediently guard her body like a jade, unless they reconciled, or died of the desire to climb the wall as soon as possible.

Chen Shen was depressed, but he didn't tell anyone about it. Anyway, it's fine if he doesn't sleep with the maid. Isn't it fine for him to sleep with his legitimate wife?

Of course, this was a quarrel between their young husband and wife. Outsiders only knew that Luo Churan was taking the lead temporarily in the dispute between Luo Churan and Mrs. Lu Guogong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In this way, amidst the gossip and the turbulent gossip in the capital, amidst the cold wind and snow, the 16th year of Jingyuan ushered in.
