Just after dinner, Qinghe wanted to take Xiao Xiang'er to Guiyuan to consume food. Seeing that the osmanthus flowers in the garden were blooming just right, Xiao Xiang'er began to talk about the osmanthus cake in her mouth again, Qinghe couldn't help but think that Qingyang liked to eat these sweets like Xiao Xiang'er, and took Xiao Xiang'er to the residence of His Highness Yongyan Eleventh.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they happened to meet Yongyan, who was about to go out, and Qingyang, who was already following him.

Time is a knife, sharpened beyond recognition.

For more than two years, the innocent and unrestrained prince Yongyan has now learned to restrain his feelings, and he also walks with a royal demeanor. Seeing Qing He, he just nodded in surprise, and his contact with Qing He was only because he was with Qingyang, and he didn't have much contact, so he wasn't close but not too cold.

"I originally wanted to go to Yongshou Palace to meet the imperial grandmother, but since I did, I'll go by myself, Qingyang, you stay."

Yongyan waved his hand to stop Qingyang, and he took six of his followers towards Yongshou Palace. Seeing his disappearing back, Qingyang seemed to be liberated, and the whole person relaxed, and smiled and pulled Qinghe's sleeve and walked into the Jiaozhi Palace. Xiao Xiang'er hadn't seen her little uncle for many days, so she immediately stretched out her two white arms, "Hug-"

So Qingyang took Xiao Xiang'er and walked inside.

Xiao Xiang'er is young, and she is the age of being active. Qingyang was cautious with the prince as a companion, and he was also very thin, plus he was fed by the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang since he was a child, and he was white and chubby, and Yuxue was cute, and the weight of holding it in his hand should not be underestimated. The tip of Qingyang's nose was sweating, and Qinghe took out the handkerchief on his waist and wiped Qingyang's sweat with a smile.

"Sister, I followed His Highness to see Mu ...... in the afternoon Two white. ”

Walking in the palace is like walking on thin ice. Every word and deed is related to one's own life, if such a lowly title as Erbai is heard by someone with a heart, it is not only Qingyang's own fault, but even Yongyan will be implicated. The title of Erbai seems to have been a long time ago.

Qing He's heart seemed to be gnawed by something, and it hurt densely. She stopped halfway through walking, and took Qingyang, who was holding Xiao Xiang'er, into her arms. Xiao Xiang'er thought it was funny, twisting Qinghe's hair in her hand, and her laughter was crisp like a silver bell, infecting both of them, Qinghe let go of her hand and patted Qingyang's head.

"Is she okay?"

"It looks very good, but the person is a lot darker, but he has also lost a lot of weight, but he is very high-spirited, he is always surrounded by people, and he is very popular."

It seemed to be imagined in her mind, and Qing He was happy for her in her heart, but there was still a secret soreness.

Just as the wanderer is timid, Qinghe looked at Qingyang with flickering eyes, and he hesitated and couldn't speak. On the contrary, Qingyang had already seen what his sister was going to ask, showed a big smile, and took out a small embroidered bag from his sleeve. The pale pink satin was embroidered not with a winged mandarin duck and a branch, but a lively white kitten, lying there tamely with its eyes half-closed, as if asleep.

Qingyang said curiously: "Erbai gave it to me while no one was there, saying that he would give it to you when he saw her, and said that you knew what this meant, and said that she remembered everything, sister, what does this mean?" ”

The delicate little bag was soft to the touch, and Qing He loosened the rope belt and glanced inside. There was a dark shadow in her eyes, and her fingers couldn't help but fumble, recalling the agreement between the two in her mind.

The union of a woman and a woman is inherently unorthodox and will not be blessed by all. Qinghe once thought that she was just a kind of relative's affection for Mu Gui, but in the twists and turns of her acquaintance, she gradually noticed the abnormality.

Parting is a pain, discomfort, longing, and anxiety before even parting. The first thing I remember in my heart in distress is her, urgent, expectant, tormented in waiting, and wet with tears when we meet.

will unconsciously care about a person, will remember a person all the time, will be sad only for one person, happy for her, worried for her, cry for her, laugh for her, let a person's love lead him.

Would you like to keep something...... Give yourself peace of mind.

So, there was that night.

"My mother was physically different, and she said that her hometown was a magical place, and she came here unexpectedly and realized that she was different."

still remembers that the hair of the two was entangled and made a bed, she stretched out her ** arm and asked with a red face.

"What's the difference?"

"She was able to impregnate a woman."

"Sister, sister, what do you want?"

Qingyang looked at Qinghe who was standing in place, and shouted a few strange words. Qing He subconsciously stuffed the embroidered bag into his arms, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had overreacted.

"Sister, you seem to be nervous about it."

Qing He covered the position of the embroidered bag on his chest, and slowly exhaled from his chest, "It's a token, I said that if you return safely, return it to me." ”

married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful.

The hair twisted on the heads of the two is braided, and it is a token.

"Sister, you miss Erbai very much, I heard His Royal Highness say that after the reward tomorrow, a celebration banquet will be held in the palace, and you will be able to see her then."

This Qinghe has also heard of it, and it is difficult to say what kind of mood she is in at the moment. On the way back to Beijing from Takicheng, she had little appetite, vomited and nauseated, originally thought it was unadaptable, but the doctor told her that the pregnant woman should recuperate well, and must not overwork.

Who can believe that a woman can impregnate a woman? She thought it was nonsense at first, but in the end, she gave birth to Sister Xiang in a small town under Mu Gui's arrangement.

How can such a thing be said everywhere? And who would believe it?

Later, Qing He gave Mu Gui's handwritten letter to Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen learned about what happened in Takicheng, and felt sympathy for Qing He in his heart, mistakenly thinking that she had been insulted by thieves. In the letter, Mu Gui's disgust at asking Emperor Wen to take care of their mother and son with military merits was also diluted a lot because of this pity.

"Sister, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, when can I go to your new home to have a look?"

"When the time comes, we will make an appointment with Erbai, and we will go together."

When Qingyang heard that he could leave the palace, his eyes disappeared when he smiled, revealing a bit of childishness.

After Qinghe came back, he started to exchange and resell the goods of Takicheng and the capital, and organized a caravan. The people in the caravan are all provided by Mu Gui, and they are strong in martial arts, and they are not afraid of thieves coming to rob them. The annual profit can be three or five times, and soon Qinghe will have a small family in the capital. It happened that a family had something to go back to their hometown, so they sold the house out, and they were bought by Qinghe, and they settled in the capital.

It was rare for the two to have a good chat, Qinghe opened a stove in the place where Qingyang lived and made a few side dishes. Still as in the past, Qing He inspected Qingyang's homework after dinner, and when Yongyan also came back from Yongshou Palace after dinner, Qing He also happened to be ready to leave.

Qinghe pulled Xiao Xiang'er and turned around to leave, and when he heard the conversation between Yongyan and Qingyang at the tip of his ear, he hesitated for a while.

"I heard that this time there was a big defeat, Jin Guo sent a princess over to prepare for a kiss, I don't know what to think, I was so hard-tempered before, and now I make this appearance again, it's really shameless."

"Your Royal Highness can't talk nonsense, maybe this princess will be the emperor's concubine in the future, in addition to this, she is also a princess of a country, Your Highness should be more cautious."

Qing He turned around for the last time when he was cornering, and saw Yongyan pouting, the young and old face before was long gone, and he took the tea handed over by Qingyang very dissatisfied, and waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, it's more verbose than my grandma." It was completely blocked by the wall, and gradually the movement in the temple disappeared.

Princess? And pro?

How many princesses are there in the Kingdom of Jin? Who will come? Will it be Fuya?

Qing He was really curious in his heart, and he was even more looking forward to Emperor Wei's summons tomorrow.

※※※

The next day, before it was completely bright, Qinghe had already gotten up.

For no other reason, there was a eunuch father-in-law sent by the emperor waiting outside the door. After Qinghe finished washing, he went to the Zhengqing Hall to wait for the summons.

And the Zhengqing Palace is the place where Emperor Wen discussed politics with hundreds of civil and military officials in the early dynasty.

"Girl, wait here now, wait for the emperor to summon you."

After the father-in-law finished speaking, he turned around and left, Qinghe wondered in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out, but he could only wait obediently outside the door. At this time, hundreds of officials went up to the hall one after another, passing by Qing He's side, and they all looked at him curiously, and turned to whisper.

With the eunuch's sharp voice of "going to the court-", the smooth floor paved with bluestone was full of people hula kneeling, Qinghe stood at the corner outside the hall, and could not affect everyone to go to court, and could only look inside through the gap in the carved wooden door.

"Summoning Mu Gui, Chen Kaiyang, Ye Ping, Cheng Rufeng, Li Yi and others to meet ——"

"Summoning the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Gao Fuya, to meet you—"

"Summoning Xu's Qinghe to meet—"

Huh? Summoned to her?

Although she already knew it in her heart, Qing He still hesitated in surprise, and it wasn't until the eunuch father-in-law who had brought her just now hurriedly ran to her, bowed and begged her to go quickly, that she realized that she had indeed heard correctly.

Qing Hechi asked: "Father-in-law, what did the emperor call me for?" ”

The princess said: "How do the miscellaneous family know, the girl should go quickly, don't delay the ministers." ”

This is the first time for Qinghe, I don't know if it will be the last time, she entered the Zhengqing Hall of the Supreme Imperial Power as a civilian woman, and watched the civil and military officials kneel and worship the Son of Heaven.

"The last general (people's girl) knocks to see His Majesty Xi à Long live long live long live, long live, long live—"

The man's voice seemed to come from a distant place, with a sense of ethereal and heavy majesty, echoing in the empty and lofty hall.

"No courtesy."

"Thank you."

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Mu Gui, the general of the expedition to the west, is brave and invincible, resourceful, repels strong enemies, defends the border, and I am very relieved, and I am hereby canonized as a ...... King Brave, Ci'an Hua Mansion. ”

Li Yongfu, who was reciting the call, was stunned, causing Mu Gui to raise his head suddenly, but when he touched the glass beads of Emperor Wen's crown, he folded his hands and clasped the ground with his forehead.

The bluestone is cool, just like her heart.

Mu Gui said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"
