Qiu Ruyi was a people's daughter, so she had to obey the order of the Empress Dowager Liu at this time, and slowly raised her head, but her eyes were still looking down at the ground.

Although Qiu Ruyi secretly ordered herself not to be nervous in her heart, because of these words of the Empress Dowager Liu, her heart beat like a drum, and she only thought that the Empress Dowager Liu was going to come forward for Liu Ting.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at Qiu Ruyi and couldn't help but praise in her heart: What a young and beautiful young woman.

Looking at Qiu Ruyi's nervous expression as if she were at home, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but be amused, and couldn't help but smile: "What are you afraid of, is it because you are afraid that the mourning family will eat you, look at your nervous appearance." The mourning family thought that it could be seen that whether it was the mourning family or the emperor's management in this world, it was the housework of our orphans and widows, and the woman who was so transparent enough to shame the ministers of the court must be an extraordinary one. ”

Maybe the Empress Dowager Liu said this just to ease the tension in the palace, but when she heard it in Qiu Ruyi's heart, she beat it word by word like a hammer in her heart.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Liu mentioning it, Qiu Ruyi would have almost forgotten the words he said last year to comment on the affairs of the court.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ruyi became more and more shocked in his heart, at that time, because Mrs. Gao helped the Qiu Mansion calculate her own family, and happened to meet the affairs of the Fang family, she couldn't help but scold Mrs. Gao, so she inadvertently said it casually, but she never thought that this would reach the ears of the Queen Mother.

Qiu Ruyi thought of this, and couldn't help but secretly speak, no wonder the Queen Mother can lead the world with the body of a daughter, so that all the ministers in the world bow their heads to their ears, it turns out that she is so powerful, she can control the words and deeds of an ordinary country boudoir woman, not to mention those officials and masters.

However, considering that he has always spoken in a disproportionate manner, and he doesn't know if there are words that disrespect the emperor and the queen mother, so at this time, although Qiu Ruyi was praised by the queen mother, he didn't dare to be proud, but just bowed his head to the ground and replied: "The queen mother praises falsely, and the people's daughter is shallow, which makes the mother laugh." ”

Empress Dowager Liu smiled: "It's not just that the mourning family thinks you are an outstanding person, otherwise the Lu Guogong Mansion would not have to be you." ”

Qiu Ruyi didn't dare to figure out what he wanted at will, so he replied to Empress Dowager Liu's words: "It's not that the people's daughter is excellent, but that the Lu Guogong Mansion keeps its promise more than ten years ago, so there is a marriage contract between the two families." ”

Empress Dowager Liu said with a smile: "The mourning family thinks that the Duke of Lu Guo originally didn't want to keep this agreement, and it was An Shicheng who wanted to keep this promise, he had been in and out of Shunyang City all these years, and he must have known that you were an excellent character, so he loved you, which prompted Lu Guogong and his wife to pinch their noses and admit this family business." ”

Empress Dowager Liu's words, but some of the meaning of the two of them in private, Qiu Ruyi had the heart to debate, but because the two had indeed dealt with each other many times before they were engaged, Qiu Ruyi was shocked by the Queen Mother's vast powers at this time, and did not dare to speak, but he was unwilling to admit this charge, so he had to bow his head and remain silent.

Empress Dowager Liu chatted with Qiu Ruyi in this way, although Qiu Ruyi was mostly kneeling on the ground and silent, but in general, the atmosphere in Cishou Palace was quite relaxed.

However, An Shicheng, who was outside the palace, received a report from Qiu Ruhai, because he couldn't tell what the queen mother was thinking for a while, and he was afraid that it was a trap set by Liu Ting, so he was urging his parents to enter the palace to ask for a meeting at this time.

The last time Duchess Lu Guo entered the palace, the Queen Mother didn't give a word, and she saw Qiu Ruyi being summoned into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and Lu Guogong and his wife were also uneasy, and they were busy entering the palace to see the Queen Mother and the emperor.

Qiu Ruhai looked at the departing Lu Guogong and his wife, and felt a little relieved, and he was very anxious to wait here, so he said goodbye to An Shicheng and prepared to ventilate his father and brother.

An Shicheng sent Qiu Ruhai away, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.

The capital is useless and is a scholar, and now it doesn't seem bad at all. Now that Qiu Ruyi is in the palace, he doesn't know whether he is good or evil, but because he has no official position, he can only do it at home in a hurry, and he can't use any strength, but on the ridiculous day, he was still proud of being able to bring Qiu Ruyi wealth and glory.

An Shicheng secretly planned in his heart: If Qiu Ruyi has three longs and two shorts, he will never let go of the Liu family. Even if Qiu Ruyi left the palace safely, he should also make a long-term plan, he has no real ability, and he still can't be tough just by virtue of the title he got from Zuyin.

Because the Queen Mother was summoning Qiu Ruyi, Duchess Lu Guo failed to see the Queen Mother, but Lu Guogong was summoned by the emperor.

In summoning Lu Guogong, Emperor Changxing looked at Li Quan and said with a smile: "This is the rescue soldier brought by An Shicheng, if your idea comes true, where will you return his daughter-in-law now?"

Li Quan was silent, Lu Guogong had already come in to see Emperor Changxing, and was about to start with a tirade, and then turn to Qiu Ruyi.

However, Emperor Changxing smiled directly: "Could it be that this palace is a tiger's den and dragon pool, your daughter-in-law has only been in for a while, and your husband and wife have come to rescue each other one by one." ”

When Lu Guogong heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he said with a smile: "Let the emperor laugh, they are all my unsuccessful dogs, urging and forcing the old minister and his wife to come over, I am afraid that the Qiu family will meet Miss Liu Ting, the country girl does not understand the rules, and she collided with Miss Liu last time, and now she has collided with the Queen Mother, but it is too much of a sin." ”

When Emperor Changxing heard this, his face was cold: "What kind of person is Liu Ting, the daughter of a commoner, no matter how bad Qiu Ruyi is, she is also the young lady of the official eunuch family, not to mention, she is still my An's daughter-in-law, a serious royal family, what if she collided with Liu Ting, is it possible that the daughter-in-law of the An family still bows her head to the daughter of the Liu family? Uncle rest assured, who is the relatives and who is far away, I understand very well in my heart." ”

When Lu Guogong heard this, his face showed excitement, and he shouted "Emperor", and then he trembled his beard and couldn't speak.

Emperor Changxing smiled again: "Uncle don't worry about the Qiu family. The queen mother has always been close to her uncle's family, and she has heard of this Qiu family for a long time, and she really likes it in her heart, so she is summoned to the palace, which is also the meaning of promotion, maybe after a while, the uncle will be able to receive the marriage decree. ”

Lu Guogong was overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed: "The Empress Dowager wants to give Cheng'er and the Qiu family a marriage? ”

Emperor Changxing said with a smile: "We are all a family, as long as Yu Gong is okay, I and the Queen Mother are happy to help add icing on the cake, and my uncle should not see outside." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Guogong is also a sincere person, so downtrodden that everyone can be bullied, and later he was raised by the Queen Mother and Emperor Changxing to the position that everyone respects today, and at this time Emperor Changxing has to treat each other sincerely, thinking that he had previously spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and misunderstood the kindness of the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but be ashamed, kneeling down and thanking him: "Thank you for the good intentions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, how the Queen Mother and the Emperor treat the ministers, the ministers have nothing to repay, and then I am willing to follow the Queen Mother and the Emperor with liver and brains." ”

Emperor Changxing stepped forward to help Lu Guogong: "Uncle, please get up, the person of my uncle's family is worthy of the Queen Mother and me to treat me like this, as for the future, no one can predict it, just ask for a clear conscience in everything." ”

Looking at Lu Guogong's figure of thanksgiving Dai De's departure, Emperor Changxing breathed a sigh of relief: "I can only do this now, as long as my mother is not very excessive, she will definitely be loyal and loved by Lu Guogong's family." This Lu Guogong looks shrewd, but he is a real person inside, and An Shicheng, who was trained by him, can also be trusted. ”

Emperor Changxing did not misunderstand Lu Guogong, in the future, An Shicheng supported the army into Beijing to take the Liu family, and supported An Shihong as the emperor, Lu Guogong was deeply ashamed of his trust in Emperor Changxing, and the relationship with his son was tense and bad.

At this time, when Li Quan heard this, he was about to step forward to compliment Emperor Changxing, but he didn't want Emperor Changxing to relax, he felt an itch in his throat, and couldn't help but clench his fists and cough a few times at the corner of his mouth, and when he spit out phlegm, it was a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood.

Li Quan was also stunned, and forgot to step forward to persuade for a while.

Although Emperor Changxing also knew that his life would not last long, he really came to this point, but he still couldn't help but be sad, and his spirit became worse and worse since then.

With Qiu Ruyi's departure from the palace, the Duke of Lu and the Qiu family received the marriage decree one after the other, and suddenly the entire capital and Shunyang City were boiling.

Previously, Empress Dowager Liu also helped to thread the needle and lead several young couples in the An and Liu families, but they did not really give a decree to marry.

At this time, everyone realized that in the past, when it came to the favor of the Lu Guogong Mansion, half of them were disdainful and half of them were not believed, after all, the Lu Guogong Mansion had never been built with any credit, and they did not see any talent, and now they found out that this favor was really true, and it can only be said that his family has taken a shit luck, and he has won the green eyes of the Queen Mother and the emperor.

The Qiu family really didn't expect Qiu Ruyi to go to the palace without any damage, and he could get such grace from the queen mother, the Qiu family was happy, and everyone in the Qiu family seemed to see the light of the family's prosperity again, and went to the Qiu family one by one.

Qiu Ruyi came out of the palace, dizzy for a long time, and the meeting on this day made the majesty of the Queen Mother take root in Qiu Ruyi's heart.

The Queen Mother also saw it, but she was not very rare about this, in the words of the Queen Mother, even if An Shicheng became the emperor, if Qiu Ruyi no longer met her eyes in the future, she would also have a way to let An Shicheng change to a queen.

Of course, Qiu Ruyi didn't know this, she was just on the way home, constantly recalling what the Queen Mother said, although she only mentioned Liu Ting in the first sentence, and never mentioned it again, but since the Queen Mother gave her family affairs, she had to repay the favor, so when she returned home, she proposed to her mother to withdraw the case.

Yu also thought that since he got the marriage decree, it was equivalent to having a talisman on his daughter's body, and Liu Ting didn't dare to provoke at will, so he enshrined the edict, and Yu sent someone to withdraw the paper.

Then the Yu family began to get busy, not only to carry out the next engagement matters, but also to rush to work on Qiu Ruhai's family affairs, so that Qiu Ruyi could marry into the Lu State Mansion as scheduled. (To be continued.) )
