Chapter 207: Personally Answered
Li Longji got the news, and a magistrate said that in front of the saint, he ruthlessly participated in Zong Chuke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the reaction of the saint, it is said that it is not as unimpressed as before.
Cui Lu is not in the palace, and Li Longji has lost his eyes and ears by the emperor's side. He was anxious, but Cui Lu used the excuse of protecting Jing Ci to indicate that he would never return to Chang'an in a short time.
In fact, Cui Lu's move was nothing more than putting pressure on Li Longji, and he asked him to ensure Jing Ci's personal safety.
At present, Li Longji has no choice but to compromise.
Li Longji wrote a letter, asking his father, Xiangwang, to send a man with a heavy weight to Luzhou to pick up Jing Ci and Cui Lu back to Chang'an. If there is a person from the king who personally responds, Princess Taiping and Yang Shouyan will naturally be afraid of three points in the future.
Unexpectedly, after much consideration, King Xiang sent his favorite concubine Cui to Luzhou. This Cui family is Cui Lu's own aunt and Li Longfan's biological mother, and she is now the most trusted side room of the Prime Minister.
Cui's traveled thousands of miles to Luzhou, and he came to visit his seriously ill grandson on behalf of the prime minister.
…………
On that day, the maid came to spread the word that the Cui family had entered the Linzi Palace.
Jing Ci remembered that Cui Lu said that this aunt was Cui Lu's closest relative, and inexplicably, she was a little nervous.
"Are you ready?" Cui Qi didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door and walked into her room.
Jing Ci got up from his chair, looked at him with a serious expression, and nodded, "Okay." ”
Cui Lu smiled unconsciously, "Don't be nervous, my aunt is a gentle person." ”
Jing Ci pursed her lips quite unnaturally, but she didn't reply, and walked out of the door without saying a word. Cui Lu followed her and held her hand, "She is not my aunt, she is Li Sanlang's concubine." ”
"What?" She didn't understand what he meant.
Cui Lu smiled lightly, looking at her with eyes full of love, "You don't want to treat her as my aunt, you won't be nervous." ”
The two were walking through the corridor hand in hand, and a woman with a very good demeanor walked up, her expression was soft and kind, and the woman couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw the two people in front of her who were behaving intimately, "Ah Sheng." ”
Cui Lu and Jing Ci were interrupted by a sudden voice and looked at each other affectionately, and turned their gazes straight ahead.
"Auntie? We're going to meet you. ”
"Come, let my aunt take a good look, Ah Sheng is really getting more and more handsome and compelling...... hehe" The Cui woman looked Cui Lu up and down with a smile and a look of concern and doting.
"Auntie, let me introduce you, this is Jing Ci, the fourth mother of the Yang family." Cui said.
Cui Shi then moved his gaze to Jing Ci, slightly surprised, "It turns out that you are Yang Siniang." ”
Jing Ci glanced at her, immediately took a few steps forward, and saluted in a proper manner, "Jing Ci has seen Cui Niang, Cui Niang has come all the way to Luzhou, you have worked hard." ”
"It's not hard," Cui Shi smiled lightly, "I will naturally complete the things that the prince explains." ”
"Aunt Cui-" On the other side of the corridor, Li Longji and Zhao Niang walked slowly, "Why are you standing here?" Apo has set up a banquet, let's sit down and talk. He lifted up his hand and invited them into the house.
Delicious and quite hearty.
The wine is strong, the whole room is delicious and fragrant, the maids serve fresh dishes from time to time, and the servants in the house are very busy. Li Longji attached great importance to the arrival of this aunt, and ordered the house to receive good students.
In the life of King Xiang, among the women he valued, whether it was his wife Liu or the side room Dou, they were all involved in the palace struggle and were killed by his mother Wu Zetian, and only the Cui family, who had always been peaceful and cautious, was still alive.
Cui's alert and sensible, not showing his edge, is highly valued by King Xiang, as a concubine, he treats King Xiang's children kindly and kindly, so he is courteous to Li Longji and other brothers and sisters.
"Aunt Cui, this time I really worked hard for you, and there is no way to do it, please forgive me." Li Longji raised his wine glass and wanted Cui's to toast.
Cui Shi raised his glass and smiled lightly, "I, I watched you children grow up, Ah Pu needs the help of his aunt, how can his aunt stand by and watch?" ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" Li Longji drank all the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass, and sighed softly, "Ah Pu really doesn't want my aunt to toss like this, but now is a critical juncture, Ah Pu is not filial, and I have to bother my aunt to leave for Chang'an in these two days." ”
"The prince has made things clear to me, Yang Siniang and I will leave the day after tomorrow, what do you think?"
"So good! Apo thanked her aunt for her great help. ”
Halfway through the banquet, Aunt Cui's eyes began to frequently switch back and forth between Cui Lu and Jing Ci, and when she came to Luzhou in a hurry, the prince only said that Yang Siniang was in danger, and asked her to come to Luzhou in person to pick up Yang Siniang back to Chang'an. She always felt that the relationship between Ah Sheng and Yang Siniang was not simple.
After the banquet, Cui Lu personally sent Cui Shi back to the guest room.
Halfway through, Cui Shi spoke, "There are a lot of people, I didn't ask you, you don't serve in the palace, why did you come to Luzhou?" ”
"I have to come." Cui Lu hugged her aunt and lowered her head slightly.
Cui's expression was not very good, "What about the affairs in the palace?" If the saint and the queen knew that you had secretly come to Luzhou, they would definitely blame you, how old are you, how can you act so recklessly? ”
"Aunt, don't worry, I'm sick, everything is in order, and it'll be fine."
"If someone wants to harm you, this is your pigtail, you are so inconsiderate, how can I rest assured that you will be able to do things by the side of the Holy Empress?" Cui Shi looked worried, and his tone was rather blamed.
"How old am I, aunt don't worry about me anymore, I'll go back to Chang'an with you the day after tomorrow and stay in the palace, okay?"
Cui Shi shook his head helplessly, and walked into the house at a faster pace, "You, don't worry about me less than Long Fan......"
…………
After a day's rest, Cui's and Jing Ci and Cui's set off for Chang'an.
Qian Zhiyu and Jing Ci said goodbye, this time goodbye, I don't know when I can see you again. Li Longji accompanied Qian Zhiyu out of the house to say goodbye, looking at the two, Jing Ci couldn't help but tell Li Longji, "Li Sanlang, I will entrust Zhiyu to you, you must take good care of her for me." ”
"Yang Siniang, rest assured, she is the side concubine of this king, and I will definitely protect her."
Jing Ci waved at him, turned and got on his horse.
Cui Shi sat in the carriage, and Jing Ci wore men's clothes and rode side by side with Cui Lu in front. After so many years, if she can ride a horse, Jing Ci still won't be able to ride in a carriage, and besides, she will feel awkward and uncomfortable in the same carriage as Cui's.
Xue Chongjian and Wu Yun have returned to Chang'an first, and Xue Chongjian has brought letters, and has moved out of Princess Taiping's Mansion and set up their own doors.
It is conceivable how angry Xue Chongjian would be when she openly disobeyed Princess Taiping, who was the only one. In this incident, Wu Yun helped Xue Chongjian, and returned to Princess Taiping's mansion without face. Wu Yun's father and brother are deceased, and she has no one to rely on. People's hearts are made of meat, and Xue Chongjian finally let her move to his mansion, and the two are commensurate with brother and sister.
After a few hours, they stopped at the roadside shop to rest.
The three of them sat at a table, Cui's trip brought two maids, the weather was hot, one of the maids was the main fan fan, and the other was Cui's cloth vegetables.
"Bring the sour plum soup to Yang Siniang." Cui said to the maid.
"Cui Niang doesn't have to be polite." Jing Ci smiled at her.
The dignified Cui Shi also raised the corners of his mouth, and his face was calm, "The weather is hot, Yang Siniang will go into the carriage later, the road is far away, if I fall ill, I can't explain it to the prince." ”
"It's out of the way, the sun is nothing, I'm in good health."
Cui Lu ignored her words, "Aunt is right, the road is far away, you should get into the carriage later." ”
"Then it's settled." Cui's final word.
Jing Ci was not good and then excused himself, so he gave up, but he was actually quite unhappy.
