At that time, the sun was shining, and perhaps the closer it was to nightfall, the more brilliant it was to the west.

When Deng Jiulang's carriage entered the palace, it was a lively time in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids shuttled on the silhouette and slowly lit the lanterns. And his sister, Empress Deng, was holding a snow-white cat standing in the garden.

Empress Deng had no children, and the young queen, who was only twenty-six years old, stood in the garden like this, looking from a distance, the figure revealed a kind of loneliness.

Deng Jiulang looked at it for a while before he stepped closer.

When he came behind Empress Deng, before he got close, she had already called in a low and gentle voice, "Ah Qing is here?" ”

This sister was always so familiar with everything about him, and whenever he came behind her, she could hear that it was him.

Deng Qing raised his head, he looked at his sister with a complicated expression, bowed his head, and said, "Yes." ”

Empress Deng didn't look back, but asked softly, "Listening to Ah Qing's heavy steps, is there anything unhappy?" ”

Deng Qing pursed his thin lips, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"What's the matter?"

Deng Qing was silent.

After a long silence, he lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Sister, this person from the Liu family has been extremely smart since she was a child, when her father was imprisoned, Qiang Liang asked her family for a huge amount of thousands of taels of gold, she took on the heavy responsibility without saying a word, pretended to be a man, and paid off the debt in only three months. Even now, it only took her less than two years to become a vassal state that is now rich and rivals the average vassal state with the 10,000 taels of gold she got from me. Sister. A person like her, as long as she is given a chance, she can outperform most men in the world, and if she wants to come for more than ten years, she is a second-rate family in Luoyang, and she may not have her strength. ”

Hearing Deng Qing say this, Empress Deng smiled, and she asked softly, "So what?" She turned her head slowly. Turning her head, the smile on Empress Deng's face was a little faint, and she asked softly, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

This time. Deng Qing looked directly into her gaze. He said softly: "Sister, if Liu Baiyi is a man, then the credit he has made in the past two years, as well as the achievements of the palace to relieve your siege." It's inevitable that you will reuse it, right? Want. You should arrange for him to be a county magistrate near Luoyang for two years. Two years later, he was immediately promoted to the county guard, and then waited for the opportunity to be transferred to the court and become your minister? Could it be so? ”

Empress Deng was silent.

After a while. She said slowly: "If she is a man, she is a merchant, and she is worthy of my reuse of her." When I summoned her to Luoyang, I originally thought that such a talent, as long as her net worth was innocent and she didn't have a second heart for me, she could become my right-hand man in five years at most. Speaking of this, Empress Deng smiled slightly, and she said softly: "But Ah Qing, she is not a man after all, and my sister is very happy that Liu Baiyi is your person." ”

Hearing Queen Deng's gentle and comforting words, Deng Jiulang did not smile.

He looked at Empress Deng quietly, glanced at her, and said softly: "Sister, I want to marry her!" ”

"What?" Empress Deng's face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "Don't allow it!" ”

After Gao drank these two words, Empress Deng looked at her younger brother, thought of his character, and immediately said: Ah Qing has always taken the family very seriously, and he has great respect for me, and he must be the result of careful consideration when he says such a thing now.

For Deng Qing after careful consideration, then he can't be so hastily oppressed.

So Empress Deng held down the surging heartbeat, slowly took a few steps and sat down on the couch, and after reaching out to take the wine handed over by the palace maid, Empress Deng took a few sips and said, "Ah Qing, my sister knows your temperament, you never like to be persecuted by anyone. If you have to marry Liu, my sister can agree! ”

A sentence came out, and when Deng Jiulang raised his head to look at her, Empress Deng smiled slightly: "It's just that at the same time that you and the Liu family make a marriage contract, my sister will personally give you three more marriages." These three marriages, my sister has thought about them, they are Wu's Ajiao, Liang's Yuyi, and Yuxiu's lord Yan Yue...... I can say in the will, the three of them have known you since they were young, they are the noble daughters of the Zhumen, but they are waiting for you, I can't bear to let the three daughters be so old, so I will make the decision for you, accept these three daughters as noble concubines, Xu Sannu saw that Deng Qing's wife did not worship, Xu their names and the name of Deng Qing's wife were recorded in the ancestral hall, and the children born to them were recorded together with the children born to Deng Qing's wife as concubines! ”

As soon as Empress Deng's voice fell, Deng Jiulang's face sank!

Whether it is Wu Jiao or Yan Yue, each of them is from a higher background than Liu Jing, and their mother's family is more powerful. Such noble concubines were married by the queen mother herself, and after they entered the Deng Mansion, the nobility of their status can be imagined. Originally, the queen didn't give anything, that is, they were just ordinary concubines, as long as they entered at the same time as Liu Jing, the background power was enough to hold Liu Jing hostage. What's more, they also have all the privileges given by the queen's mother? It can be said that this really happened, and the name Liu will become a laughing stock in Luoyang's high society, and it is inevitable that she will be difficult in the future. It can even be said that Liu Jing has become such a main room, and she is not as comfortable as the concubine promised by the previous queen!

Deng Jiulang had thought about the various reactions his sister would have before, but he didn't expect that his sister could completely block his back road with just such an understatement!

Just when Deng Jiulang had a calm face, staring at his sister coldly, and his thin lips were getting tighter and tighter, suddenly, a eunuch shouted outside: "Queen Mother, Liu Baiyi asks to see you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the sister and brother turned their heads at the same time.

Glancing at her younger brother, Empress Deng smiled slightly: "You two are really heart-to-heart...... Alright, let her come. ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

As soon as the eunuch withdrew, the garden became quiet. Empress Deng tilted her head sideways, she glanced at her younger brother's increasingly calm face, as well as the dark eyes, and the heart that was still very stable just now, and involuntarily jumped suddenly, thinking: He can't be ......

hasn't waited for Queen Deng to figure it out, it belongs to Liu Baiyi. The sound of unhurried and extraordinarily light footsteps came.

Empress Deng took her eyes off her brother's face, turned her head to listen to the footsteps, and thought: Today, I found that the footsteps of the Liu family were exceptionally calm and gentle, as if they were really calm.

Just as she was thinking, Liu Jing, dressed in white, appeared at the entrance of the garden with several handsome guards. Seeing the queen mother from afar, Liu Baiyi turned around and ordered, and after letting a few guards stay in place, she walked over.

…… At this moment, Liu Jing's footsteps. Still unhurried. Calm and quiet. After inadvertently seeing Deng Jiulang was also there, there was no surprise on her exquisite face.

Liu Jing slowly walked behind Deng Jiulang and saluted Queen Deng, "Liu Baiyi has seen the queen's mother." ”

"Liu Qing, please get up."

Empress Deng smiled softly. She looked at Liu Jing for a long time. chuckled: "I haven't seen you for a few days." Liu Qing seems to be more handsome. ”

She used the word 'handsome' to describe a man. Knowing that Liu Jing was a woman, Queen Deng still said so. It seems that she is really determined to make herself a man.

Liu Jing smiled as well.

After glancing at Deng Jiulang, who was looking ugly next to her, she muttered in her heart: I don't know what this sister and brother just said, why is the queen's attitude towards letting me be a man?

However, this time, she came prepared. Liu Jing was not flustered, she held her hand and thanked the queen mother for her praise, then straightened her back and stood with her hands solemn.

Empress Deng stared at her for a while, then smiled again: "Liu Qing entered the palace this time, but something happened?" "It can't be that she colluded with her stupid brother and came to persecute her, right?

In Queen Deng's muttering, Liu Jing smiled shyly, she lowered her eyes and said, "There is something." ”

"Oh?" Empress Deng glanced at Deng Jiulang who was standing on the side again, then turned to Liu Jing and smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jing smiled embarrassedly, she said softly: "The minister is twenty years old, and my father has repeatedly urged ......" When Deng Jiulang frowned and stared at her, and when Empress Deng smiled more and more kindly and gently, Liu Jing sighed lightly: "The minister originally thought that it was good to be a man like this in this life." However, since the last time the gold mine was discovered, after the ministers asked for marriage on behalf of their sons, the fact that my Liu Baiyi was a daughter has been known to everyone in Luoyang. A few days ago, my father came to me with a letter in which he was worried that in the future I would have no children or daughters, and that I would have no one to inherit even if I had a lot of money......

She kept chattering, and the smile on Queen Deng's face slowly stiffened.

This Liu family, as soon as she opened her mouth, said that she was a daughter, everyone in Luoyang knew about it, this was to oppose her army? This is to tell her that Liu Baiyi is not a man, or she continues to be a man, but it is just a joke that you know and I know?

She couldn't help but glance at Deng Qing again, and when she saw her younger brother, she was also shocked, and thought to herself: It seems that the Liu family ran to me and nagged that she was old and wanted to marry, but it was not taught by my younger brother...... This Liu family, who used to put on the frame of Liu Baiyi, took those men to swagger through the market, and was not as good as his girlfriend reputation at all, but now when he sees my brother loosening, he wants to enter my Deng family again, and he doesn't want to be a man, and he doesn't want to be Liu Baiyi!

Thinking of this, Empress Deng interrupted Liu Jing's nagging, smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence today, I was also talking to my younger brother Ah Qing about his marriage just now." ”

In Liu Jing's voice stopped abruptly, Empress Deng smiled at Deng Jiulang and said: "I just said that I am going to marry Ah Qing......" When Liu lowered his head, Empress Deng said with a smile: "Then Wu Ah Jiao, Liang Yuyi, Yuxiu County Lord Yan Yue and the three of them, have known Ah Qing since they were teenagers, they were originally the noble daughters of the Zhu Sect, but they were waiting for him, I couldn't bear to let the three daughters be so old, so I said that I would be the master for Ah Qing, accept these three women as noble concubines, and allow them to see Deng Qing's wife and not worship, Xu their names are recorded in the ancestral hall together with the names of Deng Qing's wife, and the children born to them are the children of Deng Qing's wife as concubines. ”

Speaking of this, Queen Deng chuckled and said: "Speaking of which, you two are both people who value my credit, and it is good to come here today, and at the same time give the marriage - Liu Baiyi, what do you think?" When she said the last sentence, Empress Deng's smile was exceptionally gentle and amiable.

When Deng Jiulang's calm face and thin lips moved slightly to speak, Liu Jing had already raised her head.

She smiled at Queen Deng and said briskly: "The queen's kindness is like a mountain, and Liu Baiyi is very grateful!" After being completely unmoved by Deng Jiulang's desire to marry three powerful concubines, Liu Jing lowered her head calmly, she took a deep look at Queen Deng, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, when Liu Baiyi was a young man, she was set by her parents to marry, and in the past two years, the marriage has had some twists and turns...... " Deng Jiulang turned his head to star, and when the queen mother slowly put away her smile and squinted her eyes, Liu Jing continued a little shyly: "Although a good thing is a lot of grinding, fate is determined in the end. My father had recently sent me a letter saying that he had renewed his engagement with my husband's family. ”

In a moment of silence, Liu Jing took a deep look at Queen Deng, and said softly and contentedly: "Liu Baiyi came here this time to ask the queen to marry me and Gu Cheng, the second lang of the Gu family!" ”
