547. 548 Plan ahead
The corner of the full moon's eyes glanced at Qiu Rong's direction, but it was only a glance, and then he continued to talk to Ling Hu Hongxi and Ling Hu Quan about the bits and pieces of the year since parting.
Concubine An frowned, seeing that the full moon did not say anything, Concubine An also remained silent for the time being.
Lin Dongyao didn't even glance in Qiu Rong's direction, got up and walked straight to the full moon.
"I'm tired all day in the carriage, why are you still standing? Sit down and rest. It sounds like a reproachful tone, but it is full of pampering care.
Full Moon and the other elders all sat down, and they also sat down according to Lin Dongyao's words.
Qiu Rong was left to dry, and she was still holding the carefully brewed dragon well. He smiled bitterly and retreated into the corner.
The court has always been arrogant and uninhibited, but in private, in front of his most beloved grandson, he is just a stubborn old man with slightly mean words, and Lin Dongyao's calmness and composure just neutralize the stubbornness in Anjie's temper, and Ling Hu Hongxi and Ling Hu Quan are more concerned about the body and eyes of the full moon.
"Child, as long as the body is in good condition, this eye is like this, it is nothing." Linghu Hongxi is a child, and the full moon he said is hot in his heart.
Ling Huquan watched it on the side, and he was indescribably relieved and warm-hearted. can think of his unrecognizable daughter, and it is indescribably distressed and bitter.
The eldest brother still has the opportunity to apologize to the full moon, but she may not have the opportunity to recognize her daughter in her life.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Linghu Quan's expression was inexplicably sad, Full Moon asked her softly.
Ling Huquan came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." β
"Auntie, I'll go back to the Hou Mansion in a few days, and we'll have a good talk." The meaning of the full moon's words was only understood by her and Ling Huquan, who nodded and immediately barely pulled out a smile.
At this moment, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly ran in.
"Prime Minister, there is a holy decree from the emperor in the palace."
Almost as soon as the butler's voice fell, a shrill voice sounded outside the hall,
"The emperor has a decree, and the prime minister accepts the decree."
An Xie frowned, and immediately glanced at Lin Dongyao, and everyone walked out.
Seeing that everyone was together, the big eunuch beside Lin Jian opened the holy decree with both hands and read it out.
"Ten days later, that is, on the eighth day of the lunar month, because the queen mother is less than half a year, it is not appropriate to extravagant banquets in the palace. The emperor thanked the prime minister for his hard work over the years, so he ordered the prime minister's mansion to undertake this banquet, not to be extravagant, and to be simple. At that time, all the officials of the DPRK and China will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a dinner. β
The big eunuch said something later, and the full moon didn't want to listen to it. Turning his head to look at Lin Dongyao, he saw that he was also frowning, looking like he couldn't guess Lin Jian's thoughts.
sent off the big eunuch, and An Xie's face became more and more solemn.
"The new emperor ascended the throne, but for the sake of a group of old courtiers, he would have a good time, since he didn't want to pass it, he would just come to the old man to join in the fun. The emperor's mind became more and more puzzling. β
An Xie said, and looked at Linghu Hongxi with a meaningful expression.
It stands to reason that if the emperor really wants to find a trusted courtier to set up a banquet outside the palace, then Linghu Hongxi should also be the first candidate, not his peace!
Linghu Hongxi also couldn't guess Lin Jian's intentions.
"Prime Minister, the emperor's decision is indeed beyond the guess of our courtiers, let's take one step at a time. I don't know about this matter, so don't misunderstand. β
Linghu Hongxi explained in a deep voice.
Relief is waving hands, it doesn't matter what the Tao is,
"That's it. has been an official in the same dynasty for so many years, and the old man still recognizes the character of the Hou Ye. Ten days later, the Laba Festival, at that time, will still need a lot of help from the Hou Ye, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, whether it is the Prime Minister's Mansion or your Hou Mansion, they are all tied together on the surface, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
On that day, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was only afraid that it would be so busy that it could take care of the inside and not the outside. When the time comes, Hou Ye can't sit idly by. Isn't it? β
An Xie first put a high hat on Ling Hu Hongxi, and then he asked for it, so Ling Hu Hongxi had to give him a thin face.
Ling Hu Hongxi smiled and said meaningfully,
"The prime minister is too high-spirited, and with the prince here, how can the prime minister worry about the Laba Festival in ten days. The prime minister should put his heart in his stomach. β
Linghu Hongxi is not a person who suffers from depression, although if something really happens, he will definitely help An Jie, but he can't let An Xie die.
The full moon winked at Lin Dongyao.
"Grandpa, there are still ten days before the Laba Festival, why have you ever been worried about the dinner? When you first quarreled with me, didn't you still say that your sword was not old? Why is it that this son is stunned when he sees the holy decree? β
Lin Dongyao's lukewarm sting scratched at An.
The dignified prime minister, now being so stabbed by his most painful grandson, or in front of his granddaughter-in-law, An Xie's eyes immediately widened, and he was unconvinced,
"Are you your grandfather for yourself? This emperor won't use his strength to deal with others? Grandpa, this is called taking precautions, what am I afraid of in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't this worrying about Hu Hongxi's Hou Mansion for him? I'm just secretly mentioning Linghu Hongxi. β
Of course, An Xie would not admit that he was worried about the banquet, but pushed it to Linghu Hongxi.
Linghu Hongxi has always been a good man who has no temper in this regard, so he nodded immediately, which can be regarded as giving Old Man An a step down.
"Prime Minister Lao is worried."
Ling Hu Hongxi smiled, which can be regarded as resolving the previous embarrassment.
But everyone was relaxed for a while, but because of the upcoming Laba Festival banquet, it was not too big and small.
ββ
In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Concubine An settled the courtyard where Full Moon and Lin Dongyao lived, and went to Zhang Luo to prepare other items for Full Moon and Lin Dongyao.
Linghu Quan returned to the Hou Mansion in advance.
The full moon promised her, Ming'er would go to the Hou Mansion, she would definitely take care of her aunt's affairs, and she would definitely help her aunt get through this difficulty.
Concubine An just left, and the full moon saw a figure in the courtyard hesitating and dodging away, and unconsciously raised her feet and walked into the courtyard, but saw Qiu Rong blushing and about to leave. Seeing the full moon, Qiu Rong's cheeks were even more red like boiled shrimp, pretending to be calm but sad and lonely.
"Princess, Qiu Rong is here to send a cold jade pillow to the princess, this is sent by the palace, since the prince is not there, it will be handed over to the princess."
Qiu Rong held the flawless jade pillow, lowered her eyes, and held her hands high, in front of Linghu Full Moon, she was willing to be inferior to her, just so that the full moon could accommodate her in her eyes.
"Give the jade pillow to Yang Xiaoli, the prince doesn't need it for the time being." Full Moon's tone was light, and she would not show any arrogance in front of Qiu Rong.
"Yes, Princess." Qiu Rong lowered her eyebrows and turned around to leave.
"Miss Qiu, if I'm not mistaken, you are a talented woman who writes the biography of a daughter, and you are full of wealth, why do you have to wronged yourself so much? Trapped in this world, trapped in the impossible person for a lifetime, the years are empty, and in the end, it is just a void. β
The full moon stopped Qiu Rong and spoke coldly.
Qiu Rong's body shook, and she slowly raised her head and stubbornly met the full moon gaze.
"Princess, Qiu Rong's heart really can't be changed, and Qiu Rong has no intention of changing, she just wants to stay here quietly like this. Qiu Rong had no intention of offending the princess, and asked the princess to allow Qiu Rong to stay here. β
With that, Qiu Rong knelt down.
Full Moon shook her head indifferently, and immediately looked up at the midday sun.
"Miss Qiu, every day we live now is the shortest life for the future. In this life, you are in such a hurry, you are trapped here, it is also a lifetime, and you give yourself a chance to go out, it is also a lifetime. But to be trapped is to be trapped, to the old will be how, you are a smart person, naturally understand.
I don't tell you too many big truths, and you read a lot of books, so the big truths may not be less than what I hear. But just because you hear more doesn't mean you understand more. If you can still restrain yourself now, it means that this relationship is far from reaching the point where it makes you crazy. Since you can still restrain yourself, you may not know whether your so-called feelings are a habit or something else. β
The full moon said this, but Qiu Rong shook her head stubbornly,
"Princess, no matter what you say, Qiu Rong will not change her mind."
"Miss Qiu, I didn't expect you to wake up all of a sudden, but I ask you to look behind you now."
Full Moon suddenly pointed behind Qiu Rong.
"Behind me?"
Qiu Rong subconsciously turned around and saw Lin Dongyao, Concubine An, and Yang Xiaoli and other hidden guards walking towards this side behind her.
"You don't turn around, you never know who will come behind you, what will happen, who will come into your life now. But it is destined that not everyone will stay in your life, some people, he is obviously gone, only you are reluctant to grasp the so-called hope and single-mindedness to blind your heart. Actually, you're just scaredβafraid that you won't meet someone better and more appealing to you in the future. After all, Miss Qiu, you have made a mistake that many people make - greed.
You can be greedy or greedy. are reluctant to jump out of the person who makes you feel the best, but you are obsessed, in the final analysis, he also has people and things that he needs to be attached to, but it is destined not to be you. In this life, there are so many passers-by in your life, if you don't look back, you will never know who you will meet! β
Full Moon said, walked up to Qiu Rong step by step, leaned over and helped her up from the ground.
"You wouldn't have thought that I would take the initiative to help you up. This world is so impermanent. You have so many ways out, and you've been in the same place for too long, it's time to take a walk. I'm not driving you away. I'll wait for you to decide. β
After finishing speaking, the full moon bypassed Qiu Rong and walked towards Lin Dongyao and Concubine An.
Qiu Rong had her back to the full moon, her body stiff as ice.
"Full Moon, what did you just say?" Behind Qiu Rong, Lin Dongyao's beautiful voice full of magnetism came, full of concern and care, flowing natural warmth.
