Chapter 137: Summoned

Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong were inevitably a little surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

Jiang Xuan asked the little guy just now as he walked, "How long have the people in the palace been here?" ”

"Back to the world, it's almost half an hour." The little guy replied respectfully.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows: "Don't you know where I'm going?" Why don't you send someone to report it? ”

The little guy was obviously a little flustered: "The little one is just waiting here for the prince on the order of Mrs. Wu......"

Jiang Xuan inevitably sneered in his heart, but he also knew that he had nothing to do with him, and then asked, "Who is from the palace?" Where is it now? ”

"It's Father-in-law Chang who came, and now he is in Jingchun Hall." The little guy didn't dare to slack off.

Chang Gonggong is one of the best people around the saint today, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant, Jiang Xuan's pace under his feet has increased significantly, but he is still puzzled in his heart: "Why did you go to Jingchun Hall?" ”

Over the years, Marquis Jingyuan has been recuperating behind closed doors, and even the inner servants who have passed the decree have never stepped in, most of them are in the front yard, or go to Qinyi Courtyard.

"It is said that the saint specially instructed him to visit the condition of the Hou Ye by the way!" The little guy answered truthfully.

Jiang Xuan didn't continue to ask, and walked quickly towards Jingchun Hall.

When he walked to the fork in the front yard, Jiang Xuan seemed to pause slightly, and then said to Lu Qingrong behind him, "You can come along." ”

Lu Qingrong didn't say much, nodded and followed.

When she entered Jingchun Hall, Mrs. Wu, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, was a little surprised when she saw Lu Qingrong following behind Jiang Xuan, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Where did you go this early in the morning? Let Chang Gonggong wait! Mrs. Wu's tone actually carried a hint of the elder's unique doting tone, which couldn't help but make Lu Qingrong feel a little difficult to adapt.

Jiang Xuan was already used to it, but he just said to Chang's father-in-law in the past: "It's really a sin to bother your father-in-law to wait for a long time!" ”

Lu Qingrong looked up slightly from behind him, and saw a person standing up from the main seat, dressed in a navy blue eunuch suit, wearing a silver crown, holding a whisk, at first glance, he should be around fifty years old, his hair was already a little gray, and he was looking back at Jiang Xuan with a smile at this time.

"Don't be polite! It is our family's duty to wait for the message, so why bother? Gonggong Chang's tone was very humble, "Today, the saint saw the excerpt you handed over, and immediately asked me to come over and summon you into the palace to reply!" ”

"Father-in-law, wait a while, I'll go change my clothes and enter the palace with you!" Jiang Xuan responded, and then took Lu Qingrong back to the Yu Courtyard first.

Father-in-law Chang hurriedly stepped forward: "This is Mrs. Shizi, right?" ”

Lu Qingrong didn't have time to return the gift, so he saw Father-in-law Chang take out a square locket from his cuff and hand it to Jiang Xuan: "I'm ashamed to say that the prince didn't come to congratulate him on the day he got married, and it took a few months to find an opportunity to send the gift in person, and I hope the prince won't be surprised!" ”

Although the content of the words does not stand up to scrutiny, Chang Gonggong said it too politely.

On weekdays, the princes and ministers racked their brains to give gifts to these chamberlains, and it was rare to receive their gifts, especially from the hands of Chang Gonggong.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly took it, and did not forget to say politely: "How dare you break the bank!" ”

Father-in-law Chang only smiled and urged: "The prince of the world, go and change your clothes!" Our family has just gone to the inner room to visit Marquis Jingyuan, just wait for you to come back in a while and leave! ”

Jiang Xuan was no longer polite, took Lu Qingrong back to Yuyuan, and soon changed into court clothes and entered the palace with Chang Gonggong.

Lu Qingrong had lunch alone in the Yu Courtyard, and although he was a little curious about the emperor's summoning of Jiang Xuan, he was not worried.

If she was still a little apprehensive when she first heard the news, then the moment Chang Gonggong sent the congratulatory gift had already disappeared.

Although the wooden box was just a very ordinary jade waist card with a very ordinary texture, the emperor's close attendants were such shrewd people, they had been married for several months before they suddenly remembered to send a congratulatory gift, and the meaning of this was self-evident.

Jiang Xuan was summoned to the palace this time, he should be able to bring back good news, right?

Lu Qingrong put his mind at ease, and couldn't help but raise his right hand to look at it again.

It's been a while since she's been back, why does she always feel a little hot in her palms?

Lu Qingrong secretly counted himself in his heart, he was also a person who had lived in modern society for so many years, and he had never been in love, how could he go from the table on the carriage just now, to the moment he never forgot it, as if he had really become a little girl with a budding spring heart?

Wait a minute!

Are you really tempted?

Lu Qingrong shook his head, as if he didn't want to face this problem.

Lu Zhu on the side watched her various strange actions, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's wrong with your hand?" ”

Lu Qingrong was thinking about it alone, when he suddenly heard Luzhu's voice, and subconsciously quickly took his hand back: "It's okay!" ”

"But you've been staring at your right hand for almost half an hour since you came back from the fight!" Luzhu felt that this was still her time less.

"Has it been so long?" Lu Qingrong really didn't expect it.

Midoritake nodded in affirmation.

Lu Qingrong was a little embarrassed: "It's really fine, it's just that the palms are a little sweaty." ”

Lu Zhu was a little worried when he heard this: "Then do you need to ask the doctor to come and have a look?" ”

"No, no, no!" Lu Qingrong said anxiously: "It's all right now, don't believe it!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand and put it in front of Lu Zhu.

Although Lu Zhu didn't say anything anymore, he was even more puzzled in his heart.

Since Madame came back from Guangyin Temple today, she has not been quite right. Could it be because he was collided by the man surnamed Song?

But Madame was not afraid at all, and her calm appearance made her a little admired when she thought about it now...... Green bamboo was puzzled.

Lu Qingrong also realized the abnormality of his behavior, and he couldn't help but feel darker and darker, so he stopped talking to Luzhu, and picked up a copy of "Mengxi Writing Talk" next to him, but he was still absent-minded, turning the pages back and forth.

Lu Qingrong was flipping through the book like this, while waiting for Jiang Xuan to come back.

Jiang Xuan entered the palace before lunch, knowing that it was dark before returning to the Yu Courtyard.

Lu Qingrong saw that his face was very relaxed, and he really settled down.

"Have you ever eaten in the palace?"

"The emperor gave lunch, but dinner is not used yet." Jiang Xuan saw that she didn't ask anyone else when she came up, and first talked about eating, and his heart warmed.

"That's right, I haven't had dinner yet." Lu Qingrong turned around and ordered Luzhu to set the meal.

"You don't want to ask why the emperor summoned me to the palace?" Jiang Xuan sat opposite Lu Qingrong very casually and asked with a smile.

"I wasn't just about to ask!" Lu Qingrong's words were coquettish.

Jiang Xuan smiled even deeper.

"The emperor looked at my excerpt and said that since my body is better, Yu Linwei naturally has to take care of it, but now that the second prince's wedding is imminent, there are many things, let me go over there first to help take care of one or two."

"Aren't you going to get busy, then?" Lu Qingrong knew that this was good news, but he couldn't help but worry, "Is your body really okay?" ”

"It's not as exaggerated as you think!" Jiang Xuan explained: "The wedding of the second prince has been prepared for several months, and there is nothing to do for a long time, it is nothing more than a busy few days before the wedding. ”

"Don't you still have to take care of Yu Linwei's side?" Lu Qingrong was still puzzled.

"That's even more fine, and it's not a new errand! How it was done before, it is still the same now! Jiang Xuan said easily, and when he saw Lu Qingrong frowning at him with a slight frown, he continued: "Although the Imperial City Forbidden Army is famous, but now that the four seas are peaceful, the situation is stable, and the upper-level officials of Yu Linwei are also happy, this is not just me!" ”

Lu Qingrong couldn't find anything wrong with his words.

If you want to come to the errand of the children of the noble family, it is not as simple as doing errands with all your might, sometimes it is better to do more than to do less......

Lu Qingrong looked at the dark sky outside, and then remembered to ask, "Why have you been in the palace for so long?" ”

"Since the emperor ordered me to help the second prince take care of the wedding, I went to the second prince's palace by the way." Jiang Xuan suddenly sighed, "After the wedding, the second prince will move out of the palace and open the mansion alone." ”

Lu Qingrong didn't think there was anything about it, it was the case in all dynasties, except for the crown prince, the rest of the princes couldn't live in the palace for a long time, and it was already very good to stay in the capital without using it.

At this time, Jiang Xuan remembered something again: "In a few days, I'm afraid our house will be lively again!" ”

Lu Qingrong was puzzled.

"Today, the emperor specially asked about his father's condition, and suddenly mentioned that it would be his father's birthday in a few days, and rewarded a peach ornament of Fulu Suxi, saying that it was a birthday gift......"

The emperor's overtures to the Marquis of Jingyuan made Jiang Xuan a little surprised.

"Is my father's birthday approaching?" Lu Qingrong really didn't know before.

"Ten days later." Jiang Xuan said: "Since my father got sick, I have never done much on my birthday, especially this year, which is not a full birthday, and I don't plan to do it...... But now that even the emperor has rewarded his birthday gift, it seems that it will not be possible if he does not do it! ”

"Do we need help with something?" Since Lu Qingrong married into the Hou Mansion, she needs to manage it when she goes out of the Yu Courtyard, and everything in the Hou Mansion is still Mrs. Wu's business.

"Naturally, this matter is still done by Qinyi Yuan, so don't bother us." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, "This kind of imperial errand, Mrs. Wu is naturally handy to do, and there is no need to worry about what will go wrong with her." It's just that...... In the past few days, you have been going to check on everything you have been doing, not to help, but to learn more about the process and guest arrangements on the day of the birthday banquet. After all, that ** is also going to be attended as the main family, and it is always bad to have a black eye when the time comes! ”

Lu Qingrong nodded yes, thinking that he would have to make a few more trips to Qinyi Courtyard in the past two days.

"Do you have a lot of guests on the day of the birthday party?" Lu Qingrong was a little curious.

Jiang Xuan smiled.

"With the emperor's birthday gift, I'm afraid that even if you don't invite them, people will come extraordinarily neatly!" RS
