Volume 2 Chapter 74 There is no plan for this
Also, what does she have to do with the children and grandchildren who are the most important children and grandchildren of the dynasty?
An Ning had already heard the sound of Qiao Ying and Qiao Xu arguing behind the screen, and said to Qiao Mobai: "Cousin, if you are busy, I can do it alone." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qiao Mobai really didn't want Qiao Ying to appear here, he knew that his mother had the idea of marrying the Lu family, and Qiao Ying's appearance here was not suitable for both parties. He got up and said to Lu Ji: "Then please sit down for a while, and I'll come back later." Lu Ji quickly got up and nodded.
Qiao Mobai strode towards the screen, and there was soon no sound.
An Ning said to Qingyan, who was helping her rub her feet, "You all stand down." Qingyan waved his hand at the maids on the left and right, and everyone retreated outside the hall and stood in the flowery courtyard.
Soon only An Ning and Lu Ji were left in the hall.
Lu Ji saw that no one was looking at him, but he relaxed, raised his head and looked directly at An Ning: "His Royal Highness's words at the beginning have benefited him a lot, but I didn't expect that after reading the book of saints for so many years, I didn't understand some simple truths." ā
An Ning himself has only read a half-hung book, where can he dare to give him any more advice, and he doesn't want Lu Ji to be self-indulgent.
She comforted him: "Master Lu, people live for a lifetime, they can't see all the scenery, and they can't see all the people's hearts, what I see may not be as far as you can see farther, see more clearly, you really shouldn't value me because of this." ā
Lu Ji opened his mouth, and before he could refute, he heard An Ning continue with a little amazement: "You men are goshawks, you can walk all over the rivers, swim in the mountains and rivers, make good friends, walk thousands of miles, and go far, as long as the direction is right, step over, there will always be people applauding, there will always be people opposing, and as a woman, trapped in a small world, what you are thinking about may only be the obsession in people's hearts, it just so happens that I understand, and Lu Gongzi doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that you are ignorant, it's just that you don't bother to think about it." ā
Lu Ji shook his head: "It is precisely because His Royal Highness is a woman that he knows more than Zaixia, that Zaixia feels shameless." ā
An Ning choked, she couldn't tell the other party, in fact, she had lived for two lifetimes, and she had seen too many joys and sorrows, and her wife was separated, so she was more sympathetic to the common people.
"Each thing has its own ideas and reasons. Immortals can also make mistakes, not to mention mortals, Lu Gongzi, please don't be too yourself. An Ning said to Lu Ji sincerely.
"Your talent can benefit the people and bless the Great Liang, and these are things that An Ning can't do, but Lu Gongzi can do."
Since then, he has served the country, remembered in Shi Ce, and admired and commented by future generations.
Lu Ji looked at her intently with An Ning's eyes as clear as water, and suddenly felt his heart beat faster, his chest suffocated, and it was difficult to breathe.
It's hard to find a confidant in life.
At present, it is difficult to hide admiration.
Qiao Mobai hugged Qiao Xu with one hand, dragged Qiao Ying back to the backyard with the other, and handed it over to the nurturing grandmother. He said to the two grandmothers in a cold voice: "If you let the young lady and the young master out to play again, pack up and go home." ā
The two grandmothers looked frightened and knelt down and begged for mercy.
The eldest young master of the Guogong Mansion is as gentle as jade and gentle as water on weekdays, once he gets angry, even the prince has to give in.
Qiao Ying was in a hurry, pulling Qiao Mobai's hand and coquettishly: "Why can An Ning go out to meet guests, I can't, my father and mother are not here." Qiao Xu didn't dare to be coquettish to Qiao Mo like Qiao Ying, and stood aside honestly, but he agreed in his heart.
Qiao Mobai was helpless, lowered his body and said to Qiao Ying: "Ah Ying, do you want to know why?" Qiao Ying nodded.
Qiao Mobai stroked her forehead, Qiao Ying has been living under the maintenance and thoughtfulness of the Qiao family, and she doesn't know what to worry about at all: "When you get married in the future, when you go to someone else's house, you have to deal with a lot of people." There are people you need to smile even if you hate them, and there are people you like but will deceive you. ā
"But they're all afraid of one kind of person." Qiao Mobai said in her ear: "Someone like Princess An Ning." ā
Qiao Ying frowned, and heard Qiao Mobai say lightly: "So, you can be good friends with Princess An Ning, you can become friends or sisters with her, but you will never be able to become an equal person with her." ā
That's an innate status and identity, born superior to others.
Seeing Qiao Mobai leaving, Qiao Ying frowned and turned back to Qiao Xu and asked, "What did the eldest brother say, did you just understand?" ā
Qiao Xu hurriedly shook his head.
In the Taiji Palace, the court has been going on for four hours, and the atmosphere is very long and dull.
Hundreds of officials attended, Prince Zhuang and Prince Anqing were the first on the right, all of them staring at their expressions and not daring to say a word. The crown prince Yang Yu is the first on the left, and he has not been able to find the opportunity to intercede for the Li family.
For a few days in a row, the reported court affairs were all related to major corruption cases, and there were many cases, and Lord Yu of the Criminal Department trembled and reported the results of the recent interrogation, and a total of more than 100 officials were investigated and punished, and some of them were even court officials of the fourth grade. The more people investigated and punished, the heavier the anger between the emperor's eyebrows.
Especially today is the day of the Li family's execution at noon, and the ministers are full of emotion in their hearts, and the atmosphere is even more gloomy.
Yang Yu glanced at the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Yu, the Ministry of Rites, understood in his heart, took advantage of a gap, stepped forward, and put forward the agenda that had been prepared a long time ago: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance." ā
Lord Yu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer young, and he should have decided on the candidate for the crown princess this year. ā
But the queen is not in the palace, does the Ministry of Rites let the emperor pick and choose with the drawings of women of appropriate age?
The emperor's expression softened a little, and he seemed to remember the incident: "I forgot about it." ā
The crown prince chooses a concubine, and he chooses the future mother of the country, the woman who gave birth to the prince - no matter what, it must be carefully selected and watched by the queen.
The emperor frowned and pondered, Yang Yu took a step forward and said: "Father, it is an eventful time now, and there are many affairs of the father, so you don't have to worry about the affairs of your sons, it is better to postpone it for a year or two." ā
The emperor immediately interrupted him: "No, you are not young. Talking about marriage in front of hundreds of officials, Yang Yu felt slightly embarrassed, but he still couldn't help but calm down and said: "Father, the son feels that this year is not a good time for the son to choose a concubine." ā
The Emperor wondered, "Why do you think so?" ā
Yang Yu took a deep breath: "There is an ancient saying, the big hazard, the big murderer, the big boil, the minister is dead, and the great worry of the country is the order of Chi County." Now that the father and emperor have surrendered to the guilty ministers, the court situation is turbulent, and the people are uneasy. The father's anger has not subsided, and the sons dare not do joyful things at this time. ā
In the year of the calamity, the whole country needs to stop and sacrifice to the heavens and comfort the gods.
Even the old-fashioned and mean Lu Xiang sighed softly in his heart, this year is indeed a succession of disasters, quite unpeaceful, it is time to pray for blessings.
