() Life in the capital is certainly not as leisurely as when you were in Stone City or Mumao Villa.

The news of Zhenguogong's return to Beijing was as early as the moment when Liu Heng and An Ruyi's carriage just stepped into the gate of the capital, and all the people in the capital knew about it.

The posts of the past few days have already drifted in like snowflakes. If it weren't for Liu Heng's epiphany that was delayed for a few days, where would their husband and wife have a short time to spare.

Looking at the stack of posts on the table, there are those who invite Liu Heng or An Ruyi alone, and those who invite the husband and wife to go to the appointment together. And that's not all. All the posts have been filtered by the housekeeper in the house. These picked out are on par with the Guogong Mansion in terms of identity and status, and whether they go or not, they need to be replied to by two people.

So the scene that appeared was like this, the two snuggled together, put their heads together, looked at the posts one by one, and then discussed whether to go or not. If you don't go, how can you reply more tactfully and appropriately?

……

"This one on October 20 is an invitation from the Qi Palace. It is said to be a chrysanthemum crab. ”

"This is a post about Matthew's wife's fiftieth birthday. Invite us to go with us, and the time is — well, the third day of next month. To go or not to go? ”

"And this is the third lady of the Fuguo Mansion who invited me and Yue'er on her birthday. It's the twenty-seventh of the month. ”

"There is also this one, the full moon wine of the grandson of the Qing family of Guanglu Temple, which is on the ninth day of the next month. This Guanglu Temple Qing Sun family seems to be the home of Princess Qi's mother? ”

"And this ......"

……

Every time he looked at it, Liu Heng would ponder for a moment, and in his mind he would compare the information provided by Yang Bo about the standing of the major families and officials in the capital, their private contacts and in-laws, before deciding whether to go or not.

Now Yang Bo is no longer the big shopkeeper, but follows him to do things specifically for him. And the men under him also continued to follow him according to their own will, and some went to other branches. Those who went to the branch were also promoted.

In fact, since the Seven Princes returned to Beijing with high-profile military exploits, and Emperor Longyan Dayue named him the "King of Qi", the people's aspirations in the court have quietly changed. Among the princes and ministers, who originally thought that the Seven Princes had been basically insulated from the throne, they all began to think about it again, and secretly figured out what the emperor meant.

What did the emperor think of the Qi character that the emperor gave to his successive sons-in-law? Qi - there is a simultaneous, the same solution; It is also known as "climbing", as well as the meaning of climbing and ascending.

Does it mean that this son is the same as other sons, and his previous neglect and ignorance are actually all wrong? Or is it possible for this son to ascend and ascend?

The prince may have ascended or ascended, isn't it—

Relative to the entanglement of the ministers. The thoughts of the emperor's other adult sons were much simpler—this was another fierce rival. And although this fierce rival does not have a strong enough mother and wife to borrow, but the person himself has great military merits, and he is said to be a friend of life and death with the newly promoted Zhenguo Gong, and has been a comrade for many years. These chips alone allow him to stand taller than them.

So there are naturally more unwilling people, especially the second prince who originally seemed to be particularly hopeful for the throne, and the unwillingness in his heart is even greater. The seventh brother who was not looked at by him at all was actually worthy of being his opponent? He was also named the king of Qi?

Since the strongest reliance of the seventh brother is Liu Heng, the prince of Zhenguo, then find a way to let Liu Heng stand on his side. The second prince thought so, the best way to get Liu Heng on his side was to marry each other, but unfortunately there was really no age suitable for marriage in the two mansions, let him think about it again, there must be a way......

The second prince's thoughts, Liu Heng, naturally didn't know.

He is now regarded by everyone as a faction of the Seven Princes, because his personal relationship with the Seven Princes is very good, and even the current emperor thinks so in his heart. This kind of recognition is also destined to make it impossible for him to become the emperor's real confidant in the current dynasty, and he is really entrusted with important tasks.

Liu Heng saw this very clearly, so he was naturally not in a hurry. In a few years, when the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be time for him to really show his strength.

Therefore, most of these incoming posts belong to the faction to which the Seven Princes belong. Of course, except for the Seventh Prince, the other princes did not give up their thoughts on trying to win him over.

There are different reasons for the invitation, some are invited to participate in the flower viewing banquet, some are to have a full moon, some are washing, some have a big birthday, and some have children to celebrate their birthdays...... There was even one who invited An Ruyi to worship the Buddha together. It's just a miracle.

Fortunately, there is enough time in the Ruyi house. It's so easy to finish dealing with those posts, and it's time to rest.

An Ruyi buried her head in the pillow, pulled her hair and wailed: "It's so terrible, what should I do, I have begun to miss the good days when I didn't have to socialize before." It's all you, just get a second- or third-grade general, why do you want to be a town prince? Why are there so many entertainments? ”

Thinking that there will probably be no less entertainment in the future, An Ruyi went crazy.

The two eat and live together every day, and most of the time they spend together is not present with outsiders. An Ruyi has long been accustomed to never wronging herself in front of Liu Heng to maintain a beautiful personal image such as virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and wise. So now that the hair is scattered, and after being pulled by her a few times, the whole thing will be messy.

You must know that in the big family, basically men will have several concubines, and there are many ways for wives and concubines to compete for favor in secret. Many wives and concubines are unwilling to self-destruct their image in front of their husbands, and basically show their beautiful side, even if they are cloaked, they will never be like An Ruyi, who really scatters their hair indiscriminately, messily like a crazy woman, and let their men see it so big. It will be neat and smooth combing, without a little knotting and messy display of beauty.

Liu Heng looked at the lady with a funny look, and watched her tear her hair messily and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Don't pull it off, if you pull it any longer, you'll be gone." Liu Heng didn't take An Ruyi's words, but she said it, which lady is not looking forward to the high-ranking official Houlu, she is useless to think about it.

He took the comb, took off his shoes, climbed into bed, took her in his arms, and slowly combed her long hair, the movements were skillful and light, and it was obvious that this kind of work was not the first time he had done it.

An Ruyi obediently leaned on his shoulder and pouted.

"If you don't like it, go out and walk around less, and in the future, pick one or two families you like to walk around occasionally, just treat it as entertainment. I don't need a lady to help me have a relationship with someone or something. When you go out, act according to your own temperament and preferences, and don't wronged yourself. ”

"You're talking lightly, alas, if I'm really too casual, I don't know what to tell outside." An Ruyi was quite happy to listen to Liu Heng's words. She actually knows this, so she doesn't admit that her true purpose is to let him comfort herself in front of her husband.

"What are you afraid of, who dares to spread what you have and what you don't have. I don't believe that the people who spread the word will be caught without any problems, and when the time comes, let them also taste the feeling of stealing chickens and rice. ”

"Giggles, Xianggong, you are so bad." An Ruyi's smiling flower branches trembled, hooked his neck and offered him a fragrant kiss. Liu Heng was extremely useful, so he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity to steal incense and jade.

"Do you like it?" He smiled proudly, put away the comb in his hand, and directly turned passive into active.

The shark gauze bed tent was lowered, and a faint voice came out from inside.

“…… Dislike. "It's a woman's delicate laughter.

"You dare not say you don't like it? Hmmm......" The man's voice was deep and full of indescribable charm.

"Ahh......h Don't dare, don't dare, help...... I really don't dare......"
