During the wedding of Princess Anle, the Holy Majesty ordered the princes and grandsons who were sent to serve in the local area to rush back to watch the ceremony, among which there were Li Longji, Li Longfan, the king of Linzi, and others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
On that day, a small servant came to the door to pass a message to Jing Ci, and only said that Langjun met in Changquelou.
Jing Ci immediately understood the meaning of the little girl, so he neatly changed into women's men's clothes, and went to Changque Tower in a chic manner.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Changque Tower.
"Hey, why are you the only one?"
In the private room on the second floor, Cui Lu was the only one on the table, drinking tea quite casually, "Tsk, are you disappointed?" β
Jing Ci walked up to him and sat down, his tone was quite courteous, he lowered his head and whispered, "No ......"
"I can't hear clearly."
"I said no." Jing Ci raised his voice a little, still awkward.
Cui Rui tilted her head to look at her, "Could it be that I heard it wrong?" β
Jing Ci nodded again and again, "You heard it wrong." β
"But I heard someone who was very disappointed just now......"
"You just heard it wrong!" Jing Zi pouted to interrupt him.
Cui Qi looked at her playful appearance, unconsciously the corners of her mouth rose, and reached out to pinch her cheeks, "Oh, my Jingzi is really ......"
"It's so cute!" Jing words are connected.
"It's shameless."
At this time, the little maid poured a cup of tea and presented it.
Jing Ci picked up the teacup and tasted it, "It's green tea." She blinked a few eyes, a little curious, and directly lifted the lid of Cui Lu's cup, smelling and looking, "Why are you Changxing purple bamboo shoots?" But give me green tea? Jing Ci knew that his cup of tea was indicated by Cui Lu.
"Drinking green tea in autumn is good for your body."
"You should pay more attention to your body."
"I'm in good health, but you, don't rely on yourself to come nonsense without fear of the cold." Cui Liu touched her head.
The two of them were tired for a moment.
Cui Qi got up, "Let's go." β
"Where?"
"What do you say?"
"Wow, you're fooling me!" Jing Ci pointed a finger at him.
Cui Lu smiled without saying a word, reached out to hold her hand, interlocked her fingers, and the two walked out together.
At this time, Changque Tower is the time when there are many guests.
Jing Ci, who was holding her hand, couldn't help but struggle slightly, she was wearing men's clothes today, how embarrassing it was to be held by a man like this.
"Just hold it for a while," Cui Lu grasped her hand very tightly and whispered in her ear affectionately, "There will be no chance later." β
In the end, Jing Ci still followed him.
The two of them only walked a few dozen steps to the door, and then they separated, one person and one horse, and headed towards the Linzi Palace.
Li Longji rarely returned to Chang'an, and Jing Ci had expected that he would organize everyone to get together. Today, a little girl came to the door, her intuition was Li Longji, but when she arrived at Changque Tower, she found that Cui Lu was the only one, and she thought she was mistaken. Now I know that Cui Lu intended to let her come out to meet him first.
Cui Lu is an official in the imperial city on weekdays, taking care of the affairs of the palace catering department, and the most important thing is to secretly observe every move of the people in the palace, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to get together with Jing Ci.
Linzi Palace.
Today's visitors are all guests, and the maids are in and out, serving tea and water.
"You're lateβ" Li Longfan, who was holding a wine glass in one hand, saw Jing Ci and Cui Lu walk in, raised his hand at them and said loudly.
"Haha-when it comes to drinking and eating feasts, Li Silang is the most diligent!"
The two of them took their seats smiling.
"Of course you have to be diligent, look at Longzhou, I've lost a lot of weight!" Li Longfan's expression was quite exaggerated.
"I really can't see it." Jing Zi laughed.
Xue Chongjian, who was sitting on the other side, also smiled, "With Li Silang's temperament, you can live happily anywhere." β
Without saying a few words, Li Longji strode in, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, there is something going on in the backyard, I have been delayed for a while, you have been waiting for a long time." β
"Saburo Beauty is in her arms, and it is understandable that she is inseparable." Li Longfan quipped.
Li Longji smiled and went straight to the table.
"It's rare to see each other, I'll toast you first!" Li Longji raised his glass.
And they all raised their glasses and drank together.
"How is Li Sanlang doing in Luzhou?"
"It's good, poetry and wine life, it's not happy. If you are free after the year, you all come to Luzhou to play, I met some confidants and friends there, which is quite interesting. β
"Li Sanlang said so, let's naturally go."
"Then it's decided!"
This is Li Longji's mansion, and the little maids who are waiting next to him are all reliable people, and they don't have much scruples when they speak.
"Princess Anle's wedding, how did the people in the palace react?" After a few words of laughter and greetings, Li Longji finally got down to business.
Cui Luo put down the wine glass, and his expression became serious, "It's just a matter of tending to be inflammatory, don't look at the queen and An Le's great momentum, but they are unpopular in the palace, and the palace is afraid of them rather than respectful, and the queen's close attendants are the same." β
"Then according to Cui Lang, doesn't the saint really want to make An Le the crown princess?" Li Longji asked.
"This ...... It's hard to say," Cui Qi pondered for a while, "I think the saint is wavering, even if he loves Princess An Le and lets her come around, he knows in his heart that An Le is not a talent for governing the country." He didn't dare to bury the country laid down by his ancestors, but he had no choice but to press the queen step by step, and now he only had to see if the saint could keep the last root of his heart. β
Li Longji nodded, "No matter what, we have to be fully prepared." He turned his head to look at Xue Chongjian and chuckled, "The Holy Lord should be very annoyed when he acts like this, right?" β
"Although she was angry, my mother was accustomed to it, and now she only cares about her own interests, expanding step by step, and she can't see anywhere else."
Several people talked about the forces of various parties, and finally talked about the Yang Mansion.
"I heard that Aunt Yang has her own opinions, and she made a stumbling block for Yang Siniang, does Yang Siniang need help?" Li Longji looked at her with a smile.
"No need," Jing Ci refused, "I will handle the affairs of the Yang family, as long as it will help Li Sanlang's grand cause in the end." β
When chatting happily, a woman entered with a pot of wine behind her.
The woman is beautiful and soft, and she smiles and blesses everyone.
"Why are you here?" Li Longji smiled and spoke.
"The concubine came to toast the distinguished guests." The woman's voice is very beautiful, like a yellow bird, quite moving.
Jing Ci recognized this person, she had seen it when she was in Luzhou, and she had accidentally "eavesdropped" on her corner.
"Okay." Li Longji nodded.
"I'll just say, Li Sanlang must be riddled with beauties in the backyard just now, it's okay, it's hard to part."
"Haha-"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing that the conversation was going on, Jing Cifang said: "I heard that Li Sanlang married Qian Xiaoniang, the eldest daughter of the Qian Mansion a few months ago, I wonder if Qian Xiaoniang will come back with Li Sanlang this time?" β
"Alas, it's a shame," Li Longji shook his head helplessly, "I got sick shortly after entering the mansion, and now I'm still sick in bed, so I blame ...... not taking good care of me."
Jing Ci was surprised, his words have always been lively, and his body is very healthy, how could he be sick for a month when he arrived in Luzhou?
When the woman next to Li Longji heard this, she picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, her voice was soft, "This is the prince's fault, the prince should not blame himself again, it is Sister Qian's thin foundation, and the bird's nest and ginseng are about to fill Sister Qian's house, doesn't the prince plan to ask a famous doctor to treat Sister Qian when he returns to Chang'an this time, the prince is looking forward to his sister." β
Li Longji caressed his concubine's hair and picked up the wine she had poured into his mouth.
For a long time, the seat was scattered.
When Jing Ci and the others were about to leave the house, the woman chased after them.
"I don't know what the relationship between the lady and Sister Qian is?" The woman secretly looked at Jing Zi, although her face was soft, her eyes were full of vigilance.
Regarding the woman's look and demeanor, Jing Ci was "in full view", and then said lightly: "She is my sister-in-law." β
"I see," the woman thoughtfully, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her smile was quite reluctant, "I will convey my thoughts to Sister Qian on behalf of the lady, please rest assured." β
"There is labor." Jing Ci nodded.
said that it was her righteous sister, maybe she could make the woman in front of her be polite to her because of her identity with Li Longji.
To be honest, she was full of doubts about Zhiyu's illness.
