Chapter 425: By the Lake
Since the last time she was slapped by Mama Lin on the shore of Jinghu Lake, He Qingwan has remembered this place.
Resentment.
She was bent on recovering a city here before she could get rid of her hatred.
For many days, she would come here every day, and the mechanism had already been designed, waiting for the people of Richun Yuan to be caught.
After waiting for the rabbit for so long, today I finally looked forward to it.
Dozens of zhang away, Lu Qingrong and Lijuan walked hand in hand, walking slowly along the north shore of Jinghu Lake, and it didn't take a stick of incense to get here.
He Qingwan was happy in her heart.
It turned out to be just Lu Qingrong and Lijuan!
There is not a single maid beside him!
He Qingwan suppressed the excitement in her heart, hid behind a willow tree by the lake, and quietly waited for them to come......
On Lu Qingrong's side, the reason why he divided the maids was because he had something to discuss with Lijuan.
Lijuan gave birth to her eldest sister last year, and now she is about to turn one year old, but the matter of this first birthday banquet made Lu Qingrong a little undecided.
If it is a big event, because there is no name yet, it is all a question of who this guest should invite and in what name.
But if you don't do it, this is a real princess after all, if the first birthday banquet passes so quietly, I really can't tell if the emperor will blame.
Between two fires.
Lu Qingrong simply made his words clearer and asked Lijuan's opinion.
Lijuan was actually not sure, so she had to say truthfully: "Since the eldest sister was born, the emperor hasn't even given a name, and I don't dare to ask more." I thought about giving it a nickname before, and I called it first. was stopped by Mama Lin and said that this was not in accordance with the rules......"
At first glance, this may sound like the answer to the question.
Lu Qingrong heard the voiceover.
It seems that the emperor's attitude is very vague. Even Lijuan couldn't see through the Sacred Heart.
Lijuan continued: "To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure if the emperor knows that the eldest sister is about to turn one year old......
Lu Qingrong felt that it was not enough, and subconsciously asked: "Didn't the emperor come a few days ago?" ”
Lijuan sighed and said, "It's here, but I've been absent-minded, like An Lebo has done something to embarrass the emperor." made the emperor very unhappy. ”
Lijuan's tone is very casual, and there is no avoidance at all.
Lu Qingrong hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
Lijuan actually continued: "I'm not going to talk about the emperor's daily life behind my back. It's just that I remembered that I mentioned the Lu family at that time, so I couldn't help but nag you a few words, don't you mind! ”
No matter how curious Lu Qingrong was, he didn't dare to ask further.
Lijuan seemed to be unable to take it anymore: "The emperor intends to keep the uncle of the Lu family as an official in Beijing." First go to the Hanlin Academy to experience a few years. Unexpectedly, everyone in the Wu family recommended him to Mobei. From the queen mother, down to An Lebo's crowds, they took turns to recommend, which made the emperor tireless. Originally, even if this was the case, the emperor didn't intend to agree, but he remembered that he was too strict with the Wu family these days, and An Lebo's demotion was a big blow to the Wu family, so he didn't refuse. Obey their wishes. ”
At this point, Lijuan paused. seemed to be observing Lu Qingrong's expression: "In the heart of Mrs. Shizi, don't complain about the emperor for this!" ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't be silent any longer.
"Where do I dare to complain about the emperor! Whether it is the Hanlin Academy or the Mobei Army, they all serve the imperial court, what difference is there! The emperor is already very kind to the Lu family, and now he can still take care of his brother's future, which has flattered us. ”
Lu Qingrong pondered his words.
Although she herself felt that this was too high-sounding, it could only be so.
It's just that if it's just against the nobles in the palace, Lu Qingrong thinks that he has already been at ease. In front of her was Lijuan, who had been with her for a year, which made her slightly embarrassed.
Seeing her tangled expression, Lijuan suddenly laughed.
"I'm embarrassed to see you look like you're facing a great enemy! I'm just nagging casually, but don't take it to heart! Lijuan's tone was still relaxed.
Lu Qingrong wasn't sure if it was really Lijuan's casual words, or if it was intentional.
Lu Qingrong nodded with a smile and said, "I naturally forgot after listening to it, but you don't want to be 'you' anymore, it's just that others don't know the inside story, I'm listening here, it's really tormenting me!" ”
"Good, good!" Lijuan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "I am no longer polite to you, and you don't have to be so cautious!" ”
Lu Qingrong was about to respond, but the smile on Lijuan's face suddenly froze.
The next moment, the hand that Lijuan and Lu Qingrong were holding each other pressed hard without a trace.
Lu Qingrong immediately became alert.
Looking at Lijuan's line of sight, I saw that a few feet away from them, behind a weeping willow on the shore, accompanied by a gust of breeze, a peach-colored dress appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Lu Qingrong didn't even have to think about it, just based on this person's sneaky style, he could probably guess who it was.
After a moment, I remembered that the two loud slaps of Mama Lin were made here, and I was even more certain.
Lu Qingrong gently patted Lijuan's hand to show reassurance, and then slowed down and carefully observed the surroundings.
Soon, right in front of the willow tree, a small patch of grass on the shore of Jinghu Lake that was originally neat looked extremely messy, like a weed.
Lu Qingrong was taken aback.
She guessed that He Qingwan was going to be bad, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious.
Lu Qingrong immediately stopped and grabbed Lijuan at the same time.
"Aunt He!" Lu Qingrong didn't leave a trace of emotion, and shouted directly.
When He Qingwan heard this, instead of hiding, he immediately rushed out from behind the tree.
I saw her running to Lijuan in a few steps, with a panicked look on her face, and asked anxiously, "Miss Cheng, have you seen the eldest sister?" ”
Lijuan was wary of her and only shook her head, but when it came to her own children, it was hard to think that she was as calm as she was just now.
Seeing this, He Qingwan sneered even more in his heart, but his face became more and more flustered.
"Just now I came from a distance, and I saw Mama Lin holding the eldest sister playing on the shore, and when I got closer, I didn't see the eldest sister, and Mama Lin was at a loss to search around, I asked kindly, and Mama Lin said that the eldest sister was gone!"
Before He Qingwan's words fell, Lijuan was already a little panicked.
Lu Qingrong knew that she was mostly talking nonsense, but he also understood Lijuan's mood.
Mothers, when they encounter this kind of thing, they must prefer to believe it.
Lu Qingrong didn't delay any longer, and in order to prevent Lijuan from acting rashly, he immediately shouted loudly, hoping that Mama Lin would appear as soon as possible.
Lijuan could barely stay where she was, but when she saw the little embroidered shoe floating by the lake, her face changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )
