Chapter 113: Birthday
Snow, white expanse.
Li Ying's eyes were hazy, and she sat up on the bed, letting Cuixiang put the hot handkerchief on her face, which was comfortable.
When they came together in the morning, Li Ying smelled something wrong. I was in the middle of the bed, and I woke up in the morning. always felt that there was an aura on the bed that did not belong to him, and Li Ying's heart was furious. Jing's housekeeper was very relieved, and Qian really didn't dare to compliment. Jing's is dedicated, and Qian's is conscientious.
"Miss, is there anything wrong with you?" Cuixiang saw that when she came in today, Miss was already sitting on the bed, looking out the window. It snowed heavily last night, and it was weirdly cold in the morning.
"It's fine. ”
Cuixiang put her shoes on the table and served Li Ying to change her clothes. In the winter, Li Ying was wrapped like a small zongzi, and she just had to tie the quilt to her body.
It was white, and I saw a barrenness.
Li Ying's range of action was ten meters away from the fire.
Cuixiang was next to Li Ying, doing some embroidery work, Li Ying took a look, she was making shoes, looking at the size, it looked like a man's. Li Ying asked curiously, "Who are you making these shoes for?"
"Miss Hui, this is for the second master, didn't you tell me to make a complete set of winter clothes for the second master? Cuixiang replied with a smile, Miss has been forgetful lately. The winter in the capital is no better than Yingdu, it is too cold, and the young lady is nested in the inner room and does not go out.
After Cui Xiang's mention, Li Ying remembered. She is now a young lady who eats and drinks in the protectorate, and she doesn't have to do anything. The teacher, embroiderer, and pianist that Jing invited to her in the past did not come. "Needle Yu, is she here?" asked Li Ying again.
"Yesterday, the second master came to borrow a needle from you, and today the needle Yu followed the second master out. ”
"Oh. Li Ying felt bored and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the fire tray. For more than two months, she has been learning swordsmanship from Needle Yu, and now she is safe to deal with ordinary thieves.
"Miss, yesterday the Hou Ye sent a stack of books, do you want to read it?"
"Nope. ”
"The second master sent a good pine ink, do you want to try to practice calligraphy?"
"No, you're busy!"
Cuixiang could only shut up and continue to do her embroidery.
In the entire inner room, there was only the sound of needles and threads shuttling, Li Ying didn't know what he was thinking, and looked at the fire plate with a distraction.
In Bowang Garden, Liu Huan was already lying in front of the case, reading the official documents.
Butler Zou Ping stood in front of him and returned to the business. "Master, in the two months that you have been away, Guan Neihou has handed you posts many times, saying that there is something important to discuss. I kept the post down. ”
important things, his important things Liu Huan's heart is like a mirror.
Zou Ping mentioned a few more things, and finally mentioned Liu Ying. "Princess Liu Ying came to borrow someone several times, but because the master was not there, her subordinates did not dare to agree. ”
Ordinary people, Zou Ping can call the shots. "Who does she want to borrow?"
"Fu Jia. Zou Ping explained, "Princess Liu Ying asked me in the past, and I once said that Fu Jia is good at calculations and a good hand at managing finances. Presumably, the princess needs someone in this regard, and I recommended a few people to her, but she was not very satisfied. ”
Fu Jia is "doing dirty work". Liu Ying, I can't afford it.
Later, Princess Liu Ying went to Miss Li Ying, and Miss Li Ying gave her a few people. Now, Princess Liu Ying's affairs have also been settled. Zou Ping lowered his head, "Those people were brought by the shopkeeper of the small yellow building in Yingdu." ”
Liu Huan frowned, and on his left hand, there was a thick pile of secret reports, all of which were Li Ying's actions in the past two months. Except for Liu Ying and Zhou Yishan who came to visit her, everything else was blank. She didn't read, she didn't play chess, she didn't say a word to outsiders.
Zou Ping didn't know the twists and turns, he was just the housekeeper in the house, and he only took care of the big and small affairs in the house.
It was Jiang Feng who "inquired" about it, and his face was pale.
Zou Ping retreated, and Liu Huan and Jiang Feng were left in the house.
"No other movement?" Liu Huan's cold voice sounded.
"Nope. ”
There was silence in the room.
"What about other affairs?" Liu Huan relieved his mouth, it was not about Jiang Feng, he knew Jiang Feng's ability.
"The Wei clan has been making trouble with General Zhou recently, and in the court, the officials have been playing the emperor, saying that General Zhou bullied his neighbors and forcibly occupied territory. The emperor pressed it down. ”
Originally, when Li Dang came back, Yanguan kept impeaching Li Qing, and as soon as Li Kang left, Yanguan turned the spearhead to General Zhou. "Did Wei make a deal with the Hou of Guannei?"
"The Marquis of Guan Nei has not been abnormal recently, but the King of Guangling and the King of Changyi have recently become close to the Wei clan. ”
What idea do they want to fight, Liu Huan pondered.
"There's another thing about the Queen. Jiang Feng raised his head, "Since October 15, the queen has been getting closer and closer to the people of Wu Zhu, especially the head of Wu Zhu, Chu Fu. Chu Fu is a native of Yingdu, and he only entered the capital after the death of General Annan's wife. ”
"What are they doing?"
"My subordinates are still investigating, and I have sent people to keep an eye on Chu Fu for twelve hours, and she is not unusual. There were two most discussed dates, one on November 19 and the other on May 23. ”
"Is there a meaning?" Liu Huan sighed in his heart, why October 19th?
"On November 19 of the calendar year, nothing important happened. The subordinates went to look for the birthday and found that it was Miss Li Ying's birthday. Jiang Feng didn't think about Li Ying originally, but he learned from Princess Liu Ying that November 19 was Miss Li Ying's ceremony, which was probably a coincidence. "On May 23, I don't have a clue. ”
"If it is Li Ying's birthday, the queen will let the people of Wuzhu chant, which is in line with the rules of Yingdu. Jiang Feng explained, why is the queen so interested in Miss Li Ying? It may be Jing's last words. Before Jing's death, he talked about this matter with the queen. However, today is November 17, and there is no movement around the queen.
Liu Huan didn't say much. What should he give Li Ying's gifts? When Li Ying finishes his gifts, he will be an adult and can get married and have children. During the three-year filial piety period, Li Ying can get married.
Liu Huan, there are still three years to go.
Another, May 23. Whose is this? What does she have to do with Li Ying?
Don't talk about Liu Huan, even the queen doesn't know what this means. That day was given to her by the Jing family sixteen years ago.
If Li Ying knew, he would be at a loss. May 23 is Xu Wei's birthday, her past life.
Everything is a conspiracy.
Two days later, it was Li Ying's birthday. In the heavy filial piety, you can't do a big job. Originally, Li Ying didn't want to make these false gifts, but the queen didn't allow it, and the queen would go up for Li Ying.
If a woman reaches the age of fifteen, if she has promised to marry, she will perform the ceremony. has not yet been allowed to marry, and he will also perform a ceremony in his twentieth year. Li Ying didn't understand what the queen was anxious about.
