Chapter 67: Face

After coming out of the quiet room in the corner tower, Li Jin has been in a state of confusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

His mind kept replaying the bits and pieces of what he had experienced in that room, trying to find some clues in order to find an answer to his doubts.

But the chaotic thoughts are like a mess, and there is no way to organize them.

Flashback fragments and meaningless words constantly filled Li Jin's increasingly painful head.

There was silence all the way, until he boarded the carriage out of the palace, Li Jin seemed to relax the tense heartstrings slightly, and this relaxation seemed to be completely out of Li Jin's control, only unconscious imperceptible movements. Therefore, Li Jin just felt that after boarding the carriage, the whole person seemed to be able to start thinking smoothly again.

The old princess of the king of Huaiyang entered Beijing...... His marriage has been announced to the world...... The Emperor's Fundraiser...... The treasury is becoming more and more abundant...... Cining Palace...... Yu Jingzhai, constantly chewing those key words in his head, and the emperor's occasional meaningful eyes, Li Jin seemed to be able to grasp some feelings.

Looking back at this time, Li Jin was very sure that the emperor should know that he and the king of Huaiyang had met in Yujingzhai, and the content of the conversation was estimated to be indistinguishable from ten. And the last thing that King Huaiyang let himself think about, probably the emperor was very uncomfortable in his heart. Otherwise, how could there be that inexplicable question.

Li Jin remembered the emperor's face that looked kind and soft, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes after the emperor showed him the notice, and the questions that did not need to be answered. Thinking about it now, she was sure that it was the Emperor's warning to her.

Now Li Jin's wedding has not yet been held, but she has long been the emperor's banner to flaunt the world, and if there is a slight mistake in this banner at this time, it will definitely ruin the whole chess game planned by this young emperor.

Li Jin had a chill on his body, and he was secretly glad that he had never wavered and stuck to his promise. If the emperor had noticed a hint of hesitation in that conversation just now, Li Jin didn't know what the consequences would have for himself and his family.

At this time, Li Jin, who only realized it later, suddenly thought, that is to say, he can achieve his wish so smoothly in the end, because of his perseverance?

The word "hero" emphasized by the emperor still seems to be echoing in Li Jin's ears, which is a compliment, and of course it is also a constraint on Li Jin.

Li Jin remembered the scene when the emperor agreed to his request, so generous and bold, it was clearly telling Li Jin that the meritorious hero should be rewarded and the reward he could get was more and thicker than expected. But you can imagine what hell will be waiting for Li Jin if you become a traitor.

Li Jin, who only saw it clearly at this time, trembled lightly unconsciously, and secretly thought in his heart, as the old saying goes, 'Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger', and I am not deceiving.

In this way, Li Jin was particularly concerned about the last reminder of the young man.

Li Jin didn't know what this unpredictable emperor wanted to do, the only thing that was clear at the moment was that he was going to Cining Palace for a trip, and then he would go to Xuanjing Palace to present himself to the emperor again. But what to tell the emperor, Li Jin was confused, could it be that the emperor was competing with the queen mother, so the emperor wanted to find out by himself, but what could he hear as a passer-by who came in a hurry?

The thought that flashed by chance made Li Jin immediately snuff out in his mind, whether it was the infighting of the Heavenly Family or not, this was not what she Li Jin should care about, even if it was true, Li Jin could only go to Cining Palace to listen according to the emperor's request. There was bitterness in his heart, Li Jin especially missed the few acres of self-cultivated vegetation in his villa at this time, and he didn't know if he could still have such a leisurely moment in this life.

After thinking about it like this, the sky had already darkened, and Li Jin's carriage had arrived at the door of his house.

After getting out of the car, Li Jin was dizzy for a while, but fortunately, Xiangxue, who had already gotten out of the car and was waiting by the side, had sharp eyes and immediately helped him.

Standing firmly, Li Jin smiled at Xiangxue: "It's good that you are here." ”

Hearing this, Xiangxue's eyes immediately reddened, and she just forced herself to laugh and said, "Miss is clumsy, so naturally she can't leave me." ”

Although Li Jin and her are masters and servants, the love that they grew up together since childhood and the deed between the two have already turned the two who are not related by blood into sisters. At this time, Li Jin had given up the idea of staying in the capital, but she didn't want Xiangxue to follow her to the north to suffer, and having her at home with the second elder could also make her parents feel relieved.

Therefore, Li Jin, who would only let Xiangxue laugh recklessly when there was no one, had no intention of blaming at this time, but enjoyed this little relaxed time very much.

Who knew that when the two of them finished talking and were about to go back to Li Jin's Jinyue Pavilion, a small guy hurriedly ran from the second gate, and when they saw Li Jin coming back, a smile immediately appeared on their sad face.

"It's kind of waiting for the young lady to come back. As he spoke, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and continued: "Madame has been waiting for Miss since she returned home, but unfortunately Miss is in the palace." This does not allow me to invite you as soon as the young lady returns home. I'm on my fifth trip. As he spoke, he took the big piece that Xiangxue had just untied for Li Jin.

Li Jin was funny, this guy was really good at rapping, but his face looked very unfamiliar, and he immediately asked, "Which house are you in, why haven't you seen it before?"

The little guy immediately responded: "The kid's name is Fang Guan, and he hasn't been in the house for a long time, and now he is just running errands in various courtyards, and the young lady doesn't recognize it." ”

Li Jin looked at him again, his figure was thin, but his eyes rarely revealed an aura. Raising his hand and pointing to his carriage, he asked him to send his big gun and one of the utensils in the carriage to his Jinyue Pavilion, and turned around and went to his mother's room with Xiangxue.

The little guy saw that there was an opportunity to get close to Miss Fuzhong, and immediately happily went to work without touching the ground.

Xiangxue complained to Li Jin in a low voice on the side: "Looking at the clever tongue, I know that it is not a good thing, Miss asked him to send something, what if something is missing, it is all commonly used by Miss." ”

Li Jin was noncommittal, looked at Xiangxue with a smile and said, "What's the matter, it's useless for you, you're jealous?"

Xiangxue was very unconvinced, but she didn't talk back to Li Jin, and turned her face to the side to ignore Li Jin.

Li Jin didn't speak again, and the two soon came to the East Chamber.

Chunlan was waiting outside for the little girl to reply, and at this time, she was looking out of the courtyard gate from time to time, but she happened to see Li Jin and his party coming in a hurry, and immediately threw the soup woman in her hand to the little girl next to her, and trotted to greet her.

"It's a matter of looking forward to the young lady. Madame is copying Buddhist scriptures. Chunlan said to Li Jin as she raised her eyes and looked at the small study in the courtyard. Motioned for Li Jin to look for it there.

Li Jin seemed to be a little hesitant, at this time Chunlan didn't know why, usually the young lady came to this courtyard, and without waiting for herself to say, she followed the trail of her wife, tired of her wife, how could she seem to be motionless as if she was frozen in place at this time?

In fact, Li Jin is a little afraid of seeing her mother now, just because she was too busy before, or she intentionally or unintentionally put herself in a situation where her busy feet do not touch the ground.

Just because of this, you can give yourself an excuse not to respond positively to your mother. Since the Holy Decree arrived at the Li Mansion, this was the first time that Li Jin had to face his mother.

Li Jin knew that what should come would always come, but she didn't have the courage to face her mother's disappointed or painful eyes, until today.

When the matter came, he couldn't hide from it, so Li Jin stepped into his mother's east chamber.

Although Chunlan didn't understand Li Jin's sorrow, she also knew that it was probably because of the marriage given by the holy decree, and she knew that Li Jin was probably a little difficult to face her wife.

I also want to know that the old lady loves the young lady so much, and this paper marriage contract will marry people far away from the world, which parents are not through the liver and sausage. But in her eyes, the holy decree is also heaven, and it is a fate that is difficult to violate, so although she is worried about Li Jin's future, she can't do anything, so she has to speak.

"Miss, the matter has come to this, so I can only persuade Madame. The house is full of old people, you should only go out to play. Chunlan didn't dare to say much, so she could only persuade Li Jin so ambiguously.

Although Li Jin knew that Chunlan had misunderstood the reason for her sorrow, she was also moved by her loyalty to her family, and reluctantly smiled: "I know, you often persuade mother." I'm afraid the house will be deserted after I leave, can you help me think of a way when I'm free?"

Although it was a joke, what Li Jin said was also something that he had been thinking about in his heart, and at the moment he only felt that the more he said it, the more he felt that it was not a good taste in his heart, for fear that he would be even more uncontrollable when he saw his mother for a while, so he hastily accepted the words and turned around and went to the study.

When he came to the door, it seemed that someone had already passed Li Jin to the East Chamber, and the little guy at the door saw Li Jin and immediately lifted the curtain.

Li Jin sighed in his heart, stabilized his mind, and stepped into the oncoming heat.

"Mother. Li Jin turned the screen and saw that her mother was sitting by the window at this time, with red candles burning in front of and behind the table. Just because the windows are not allowed to be opened in winter, for fear of dissipating the heat, and the light in this remote hall is weak, so the slightly dim room is lit with oil lamps or candles both day and night.

When Mrs. Li heard Li Jin call her, she didn't stop the pen and paper in her hand, and still concentrated on copying the scriptures under her hand. This was not the case in the past, as long as Li Jin entered the house, Mrs. Li no matter what she was doing, she would hold this naughty bag in her arms as soon as possible, and then go to work on the previous things.

Li Jin knew that her mother was sulking with herself, so she knelt silently on the ground by the table and whispered, "My daughter knows that she is wrong." ”

Mother Li stopped her pen and ink at this time, but she still didn't look up: "What's wrong with you?"

"......" Li Jin didn't know where to start, she had concealed too many things since she returned home that day, and at this time, everything seemed to be like a thousand pounds of boulder pressed on her chest, making her breathless, let alone open her mouth to speak.

Mother Li couldn't bear it, got up and dragged Li Jin, who had not yet knelt down to the tea, and sat down beside her.

Angry and painful, he took Li Jin's hand and said, "When will you be able to change your temperament that you are not afraid of the earth?"

"After such a big disaster, do you plan to keep it hidden?" Mother Li still had palpitations when she mentioned this, Li Jin didn't know what her father and mother had said and to what extent, so she didn't dare to speak casually at this time, so she had to listen to her mother's teachings silently.

Li Jin shook her head, and only smiled and hugged her mother, as if she was coquettish and as if she had infinite attachment to her mother's arms.
