Hua Lianyue didn't know that something big was happening in the palace, of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. After eating a full meal, she was holding a pot of hawthorn tea brewed by Qingying to eat, but she heard a report from outside, saying that Mrs. Guanglu Siqing was visiting with her young son.

Mrs. Guanglu Siqing is the big pair, Hua Lianyue was very surprised, and hurriedly asked Qingying to go out to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here!" Hua Lianyue had already walked out of the courtyard door, and took the little man who was like a pink ball in her arms, Hua Lianyue said with surprise and joy: "This is my little nephew, well, although the face follows the second brother, the eyebrows and eyes look very much like you." Call your aunt and she will give you candy. ”

Dashuang chuckled softly and said angrily: "How old is he, he hasn't even grown a few teeth, where will he be called aunt." ”

"It's the first time I've seen him, I'm happy!By the way, what's his name?" Hua Lianyue hugged the soft lump of flesh in her arms, and saw him with black and white moist eyes, gurgling and turning around, from time to time cracking open a pink little mouth with only eight baby teeth, spitting bubbles and giggling, her heart was so soft that it almost melted.

I remember that when she left her second brother's Guanglu Temple Qing Mansion last year, he was still in his mother's belly, but now she is holding it in her hand and smiling at you, and she has to sigh that time flies.

Dashuang stretched out his hand and straightened out his son's clothes, and said with a smile: "I haven't taken a big name yet, let's call him Brother Fu'er!"

Hua Lianyue gently shook the little person in her arms, and teased softly: "Brother Fu, Brother Fu, do you know, you are the first child of our Liu family, you are really full of blessings!" What answered her was a shiny saliva bubble and a sweet and innocent smirk.

On the bird shelf under the porch, a crested sunflower parrot fluttered its huge white wings and quackeyed...... Fu Ge'er immediately struggled to turn his head to look, but the bubbles that came out of his mouth burst in response. Fu Ge'er seemed to be startled, but he was attracted by the parrot again, and his pink little mouth was deflated, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh. Hua Lianyue, Dashuang, and Qingying couldn't help but laugh when they saw this situation.

Entering the warm pavilion, Dashuang saw Liu Hui and Liu Shou sitting on the side, so he bowed his knees and saluted them: "I have seen the virtuous prince, I have seen the five princes!"

Liu Hui nodded and said gently, "Mrs. Liu, please get up!"

"Ignore them, it's warm on the couch, let's talk on the couch!" Hua Lianyue happily pulled Dashuang on the soft couch, and placed Fu Ge'er in the middle of the soft couch, surrounded by thick and soft cushions, so that he could move freely without hurting himself.

Qingying also brought some shiny and delicate gadgets to amuse Brother Fu to grab and play. Hua Lianyue pulled Dashuang and asked in a loud voice: "Why didn't the second brother come together, is he okay? Xiaoshuang is okay? After being married for so long, she is also pregnant with a child, right?"

Dashuang laughed and said, "You, why are you still the same as before?" Don't worry, they're all fine! There are still more than ten days to go before the New Year, and your second brother, as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, is naturally the busiest time. Now he is still in the palace and has not returned, discussing the sacrifice of the previous year! Otherwise, he would have come with us a long time ago.

Xiaoshuang is good, the kid of the Tang family treats her well, and she travels outside every day, but she found out that she was pregnant with a child last month, and the kid of the Tang family immediately took her back to Shudi. said that he would wait for her to give birth to the child safely before he would let her out. A few days ago, I received a letter from her, complaining that her freedom was restricted!"

Then she "sneered" again and said, "Now it's up to her to complain, and when she gives birth to the child, she won't know what it really is to be locked up." ”

Hearing that everyone is good, Hua Lianyue is really full of joy. She tilted her head sideways, quickly raised her hand to wipe the moisture from her eyes, and then smiled again: "Then I'll rest assured, the little bisexual child jumps out, Tang Yao is also unrestrained, and if you have a child, I'm afraid that you will be more stable......"

Seeing that they were talking lively, Liu Shou smiled, turned his head and lowered his voice and said to Liu Hui: "The Xie family who got off the boat at the dock before, Yan San inquired clearly, it is Huining County. She goes to Beijing every year at this time to give a New Year's gift to the head of the Xie family, and of course the queen's share is indispensable. It's just that in previous years, she took the land route, and this year for some reason, she took the water route, which is with your fleet, but the cargo ship she took was not the same as you. ”

"Is it her?" Liu Hui's brows were twisted together, although the county lord of Huining almost became his concubine, in fact, he didn't have much impression of this woman. Because she only stays in the capital for more than a month every year, the people or things she comes into contact with are completely different from Liu Hui. Therefore, except for the annual family banquet, there is no other intersection except for being able to see each other from the old and far-sighted.

Liu Hui stroked his forehead and sighed, muttering: "How could it be her...... "If it was someone else, it would be just that, but this county lord of Huining, since he refused to marry him, he has never met a suitable person to marry, and he has been dragged into an old girl in her early twenties who has not yet married.

So there are always rumors in the capital, saying that he has mistaken the life of the county lord of Huining. Although Liu Hui did not agree with this statement, he still subconsciously felt that he owed something to that woman.

Thinking of these endless old accounts, Liu Hui felt a headache. However, he still needed evidence to further determine whether she was the one who secretly bought the murderer, so he asked in a low voice, "Can you find out where she got on the boat?"

Liu Shou thought for a while and said, "I haven't inquired about this yet, but I heard that she is from Jiangning Mansion, if she comes from home, nine times out of ten, it is from the boat on the dock near Jiangning Mansion." ”

"Jiangning Mansion?" Liu Hui frowned, remembering that the fleet had indeed docked at a county town around Jiangning Mansion, and it was very likely that the county lord of Huining had boarded the ship there. If that's the case, the water bandit has nothing to do with her. Because Jiangning Mansion is already far away from the water bandits' lair, in terms of time, even if she immediately found out that Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue were also on the fleet, she couldn't go to the water bandits' lair to buy the murderer, after all, the distance between them was too far.

"Could it be that I am wrong, this matter has nothing to do with the Xie family?" Liu Hui frowned and said to himself.

Liu Shou didn't hear what he said, so he only said to himself: "The Xie family is not without men, but every year she asks a girl's family to send New Year's gifts to the capital, what do you think of her parents?"

Liu Hui glanced at him obliquely, and said angrily: "I'm not the Xie family, how can I know what they are thinking." ”

Liu Shou was not afraid of his impatience at all, but instead piled up a face of gossip, approached Liu Hui's ear, and whispered, "Do you say that the Xie family saw that you had not married the concubine, so they didn't give up, and still wanted you to marry her? You also know that at her age, it is not easy to find a suitable one." ”

"Who said there is no suitable one!" Liu Hui's eyes fell on Liu Shou, and after looking up and down meaningfully, he said with a smile: "There is no one in front of you." ”

Liu Shou was stunned for a moment, and then said stupidly: "Forget it! I am an idle prince who has no power and no support from his mother, and the Xie family can't look down on him." ”

"Get out!" Liu Hui said angrily: "Self-pity is not like you!"

Liu Shou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he didn't want to feel sorry for himself, but what could he do. I really don't know what to do except for boring eating, drinking, and having fun every day. In other words, no matter what he does, everyone from the emperor to the hundreds of officials will turn a blind eye.

He didn't like the cold palace, so he often hung out in the Fengyue place in the capital, waking up in a different bed every day, facing delicate and beautiful but completely unfamiliar faces. He often has a moment of stunnedness, and he needs to think about who the person in front of him is.

Such days, which seem to be chic and romantic, are actually full of loneliness and loneliness, as well as decadence day after day.

The topic of Hua Lianyue and Dashuang is obviously much more pleasant, of course, it is basically going around Fu Ge'er. For example, what he likes to eat, what he likes to play, when he sleeps, and when he eats.

Dashuang listened to her ask a lot, so he smiled and quipped: "Since you are so curious, you simply give birth to one, just as our Fu Ge'er is our companion!"

Hua Lianyue's originally smiling face suddenly stiffened, and the blood slowly faded from her cheeks little by little. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her whole body seemed to quickly wilt.

Dashuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Hua Lianyue was injured by the poison, and it was almost impossible to have her own children in this life. She couldn't help but feel a strong sense of chagrin in her heart, and she longed to bite off her tongue alive.

"Yue'er, I ......" has always been a kind and virtuous pair, but he didn't know how to undo the damage he had inadvertently caused, and called Yue'er, but he didn't know what to say.

However, Hua Lianyue quickly adjusted, she hooked her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Fu Ge'er's head, and said lovingly: "Don't worry, even if I can't give birth to a baby for our Fu Ge'er to be a companion, there is also Xiaoshuang! When the child in her belly is born, our family will be lively!"

Dashuang knew that it was not right to say anything at this time, so he also opened the topic according to her meaning. After chatting for a while, Hua Lianyue also teased Fu Ge'er with pastries from time to time to crawl around on the couch.

When Fu Ge'er was learning to walk, he didn't want to climb, so he stood up tremblingly with the cushion next to him. However, his strength is really limited, and he often stands up halfway, and sits down with another buttocks, which makes Hua Lianyue lean back and laugh non-stop.

Dashuang looked at it with a smile, but he was secretly sighing in his heart. Because she knew that although Hua Liyue behaved casually, she was left with a bleeding scar in her heart after all.

After all, children are children, and after playing for a while, they began to rub their eyes vigorously, and their originally smart black eyes gradually became dull. With two bubbles of crystal tears in his mouth, Fu Ge'er no longer paid attention to Hua Liyue, who teased him with gadgets, but plunged into the warm and soft arms of the big pairs. Whoever came to hug him was full of rejection, and his small mouth was still deflated.

Dashuang simply stood up and walked around the house a few times with Fu Ge'er in his arms. After a while, he fell asleep in his arms. Even in his deep sleep, his short fingers still tugged at the sleeves of the big pairs.

Such a whole-hearted dependence is probably only between a mother and son who are connected by blood! Hua Lianyue on the side looked at her with hot eyes, some itching, and deep amazement.

After sending Liu Shou away, and letting the soft sedan chair carry away the big mother and son, Liu Hui took Hua Lianyue back to the room, and after a while, the shadow of the morning glow came out and closed the door firmly.

Outside, the cold wind whipped the fallen leaves. Inside the house, the red candles shook softly, like a weeping pant, spilling out of the cracks in the closed window lattices, and were instantly blown away in the cold night wind.

I don't know how long it took, Qingying finally heard Liu Hui's lazy call for water from inside, and Qingying, who was red-faced, hurriedly carried the copper kettle that had been hanging on the brazier into the house. But through the corner of the curtain that was lifted, I faintly saw a back that deceived the frost and snow inside, but why were there many old whip marks crisscrossed on it?

Qingying didn't have time to take a closer look, Liu Hui had already pulled down the curtain that had been lifted, covering her vision. Qingying didn't dare to look at it anymore, and poured the hot water in the copper kettle into the basin, and she immediately retreated quickly under Liu Hui's signal.

After cleaning, Liu Hui stretched out his long arm and took Hua Lianyue into his arms again. Pillowed on his arm, Hua Liyue didn't feel sleepy at all, she flashed her big eyes, and whispered: "Brother Fu is so cute, isn't it?"

Liu Hui behind her didn't speak, she glanced back, but saw that he had closed his eyes tiredly. She pouted and whispered into his chest, "When will we have our own children?"

No one could answer her question, Hua Liyue thought with some frustration. Suddenly, I heard Liu Hui's vague voice above my head: "I don't like children, it's too noisy, so it's good." ”

Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, felt that he tightened his arms again, and said more and more vaguely: "I'm tired for a day, go to bed early, and I'll enter the palace tomorrow!"

Hua Lianyue was firmly imprisoned in his arms, and she couldn't see his expression at the moment, so she had to close her eyes stupidly. Soon fell asleep, but I didn't know who was holding her, and I was in a complicated mood, so I slowly fell asleep after a long time.

One night of the north wind, there were a lot of fallen leaves in the yard, and the yard that should have been a bleak yard is now full of flowers. In the warm pavilion, after waking up Hua Liyue, after washing, she was sitting on the soft couch near the window drinking tea, looking out through the half-open window lattice. But in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan Zhuju eight beautiful maids like flowers and jade, wearing light colorful spring shirts, like light butterflies, floating around in the courtyard full of fallen leaves...... Sweep.

The tea in Hua Lianyue's mouth almost didn't squirt out, Qingying was ironing the dress she was going to wear with an iron iron, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but say curiously: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Lianyue put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I was a little surprised to see a group of flowers and butterflies in the yard early in the morning." ”

Qingying smiled and said, "Madame, don't worry, it's freezing like this, they won't be able to support it for long." Obviously, Kiyokage had seen the lively scene in the courtyard a long time ago.

The corners of Hua Lianyue's eyes twitched, and she withdrew her gaze and looked at the busy Qingying. After a moment of silence, Hua Lianyue suddenly asked, "Qingying, did you also come out of the palace?"

Qingying's busy hands paused, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Hua Lianyue hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, if there is anything unhappy, you can not say it." ”
