In fact, it was not only Gu Cheng who had a black face, but even the graceful Empress Deng, who had been smiling, was also stiff for a moment.

After a while, Empress Deng's graceful chuckle returned, "Okay, what is it like to stay here?" A few of you, as well as Liu Baiyi, go to the temple to talk together. ”

Empress Deng has always been a simple and gentle person in the world's comments, and at this moment, too, hearing her gentle and gentle words, all the ministers bowed down and said: "Yes." ”

So, the group walked towards the main hall in a mighty way.

Empress Deng was not heading in the hall of the council, she came to a palace on the left, and sat down in a wing room that was elegantly furnished and plain.

Seeing everyone rushing in, Empress Deng smiled and said: "This is not a big hall, and there is no need to discuss family and state affairs at this moment, you Aiqing, you can sit at will." ”

"Yes."

After the ministers sat down, Liu Jing, who had received the favor of Empress Deng, also sat down on one side, and after she sat down, Zhang Jinghuo Yan and others stood behind her.

These people have a strong sense of existence, although they are just standing, although their attitude is respectful, but at this moment, even those high-ranking officials feel a kind of depression.

So, Queen Deng's eyes turned to the beautiful men behind Liu Jing again.

After glancing at them, she sighed secretly, turned to an old minister on the left, and asked gently, "Gong Li just said that he wanted to marry Liu Baiyi for your second son...... At this moment, what else does it mean? ”

She asked this very directly.

That Li Gong was a thin old man of forty-five or sixteen years old, after listening to the queen's questioning. He and his second son, who was sitting on the side behind him, glanced at Liu Jing at the same time.

At this glance, their brows jumped.

I saw Liu Baiyi sitting on the couch, his expression was quiet, and his expression was indifferent in his grace...... Where does this look like a sister-in-law who heard about her marriage?

Empress Deng kept looking at Li Gong, and when she saw that he was silent, she smiled. So, her eyes turned on the faces of several families, and after Gu Cheng returned to her normal complexion and opened her lips to speak, Empress Deng ignored it. Instead, turn to the other side. smiled and said: "Chang Gong, what about you, are you still willing to marry Liu Qing at this moment?" ”

That Chang Gong also turned his head, and he walked towards standing behind Liu Jing. The mighty and imposing men glanced at it. Shook his head. said: "My Changfu temple is small, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”

This Chang Gong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is a noble who does not hold real power. It is precisely because he is not in charge of real power that he is very relaxed in front of Queen Deng, and what he says is very direct.

Sure enough, after Chang Gong said this, Liu Baiyi on the other side still smiled indifferently, as if he didn't know what it meant for Chang Gong and Li Gong to marry at the same time, and at the same time refused.

…… Of course, she actually understands everything. If she hadn't figured it out, how could she have brought these beautiful men to the market and come to the palace?

In this world, all people live in public opinion, especially women.

Liu Baiyi came with these beautiful men when he knew that he was asked to marry. She clearly doesn't want to be manipulated about marriage, no, she is refusing any marriage with a domineering attitude!

Empress Deng always thought that this Liu Baiyi was not married to her younger brother, but at this moment, she was no longer so sure.

This willow white clothes now look complacent, and they don't care about their reputation so much......

Just as Empress Deng was groaning, Li Gong stood up, and after he saluted the queen, he said: "Niangniang, the minister has nothing to say, please retire." ”

"Alright, you can step aside."

"Yes."

As soon as Li Gong's father and son retreated, Chang Gong also stood up.

Looking at them, Empress Deng sighed: "Okay, if you want to retreat, you can retreat." ”

"Yes."

When all the high-ranking officials had almost retreated, Queen Deng found that in addition to Liu Baiyi, there was another person in the wing room who had not retreated.

That person is Gu Cheng.

Seeing Empress Deng looking at him, Gu Cheng stood up, and after he bowed deeply to Empress Deng, he said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, Gu Cheng is still ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the queen mother had already interrupted him with a smile, "Gu Qing, you should also step down." ”

As soon as the queen mother's order came out, Gu Cheng raised his head, and after he glanced at the queen mother, he lowered his head and responded, "Yes." ”

With that, he also retreated.

As soon as Gu Cheng retreated, Empress Deng turned her head to look at Liu Jing.

She stared at Liu Jing for a moment, and suddenly sighed softly.

With a light sigh, Empress Deng said slowly: "Liu Aiqing." ”

"The minister is here."

"A hundred miles from the west gate of Luoyang, there is a mountain forest, 10,000 hectares of fertile land, plus the surrounding rivers and beaches, a total of 100,000 hectares, today I will reward it to you, do you like it?"

Liu Jing hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you for the queen's generous reward!" After receiving a stack of deed paper handed over by the eunuch, she took out the mountain deed paper where the gold mine was located from her bosom and presented it to Queen Deng respectfully, "Yu Niangniang, the minister found a gold mine in the west beach of the Luohe River today, the gold is valuable, the minister does not dare to be greedy, and is willing to sacrifice it to the court!" ”

Empress Deng gave Liu Jing 100,000 hectares of fields and forests in exchange for her gold mine. Therefore, after Liu Jing presented the deed paper, Empress Deng, who was already a little tired, nodded, and after motioning to the eunuch to take the deed paper, she waved her hand, "Let's all step aside." ”

"Yes."

It was not only the eunuchs and palace maids who were ordered to retreat, but also Huo Yan, Zhang Jing and others, who also bowed down and retreated at the same time.

It wasn't until everyone had retreated that Empress Deng turned her head to look at Liu Jing.

After looking at her for a while, Empress Deng sighed lightly and said, "Liu, you have a ...... temperament" She shook her head helplessly and asked softly: "You don't want to marry Jiulang now?" ”

Queen Deng's words are not sudden!

Liu Jing didn't raise her head, she lowered her eyes and just smiled shallowly, in that kind of smile that was a little trance and a little bitter, Liu Jing said in a low voice: "Isn't Niangniang not allowed?" ”

That's really straightforward!

Empress Deng calmed down, and she looked at Liu Jing carefully.

Although this is the second time that Liu Jing has been summoned into the palace, it really makes her pay attention to it, and this is still the first time.

After looking at Liu Jing for a while, Empress Deng smiled and said, "Who said I wasn't allowed?" ”

Really? Liu Jing sneered and thought: You didn't say it explicitly, you just did it clearly and expressed it!

Empress Deng had been looking at her, and seeing Liu Jing's expression, she said softly: "Liu Clan, Ah Qing is not only my own brother, with his intelligence, he is also very likely to be the next patriarch of the Nanyang Deng Clan...... He has a bright future, and the wife he wants to marry must be beyond reproach in every way, you know. ”

"Understood." Liu Jing lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and replied softly: "Liu Baiyi understands very well. ”

Also, if she hadn't understood, she wouldn't have done this today.

But let a talent like Liu Baiyi really be so free and unrestrained, but Queen Deng was unwilling.

So, Empress Deng smiled again, and she said softly, "No, you don't understand...... Liu, you have helped me a lot before, and even this time, you are obviously a blessed one. In this way, I will make you the county lord, and after you marry Ah Qing, I will allow you and Ah Qing's wife to be recorded in the Deng ancestral hall together, okay? ”

…… Empress Deng's voice was gentle and her smile was also very amiable.

She looked at Liu Jing gently, and said softly: "As for your guards, I will let Ah Qing be included in the silver armor guard, so that it can be regarded as giving them a future." Liu, are you satisfied with my arrangement? ”

…… When she said this, there was a faint sense of self-satisfaction in Queen Deng's tone.

Also, with Liu Jing's background and her various deviant reputations, she can be named the county lord, can be married by the queen herself, and become the first concubine under Deng Jiuzheng's wife in Nanyang, and her name can be included in the Deng ancestral hall, and as soon as the children born are born, the status is higher than that born in ordinary concubines. After death, you can also be buried with Deng Jiulang and his wife, and you can enjoy the incense of future generations, this honor is indeed the highest reward that Liu Jing, who was born as a merchant girl, can get!

As soon as Deng Jiulang appeared outside the door of the wing, he had just waved away the eunuch palace maid who had just come up, and he heard his sister's words.

So, he couldn't help but pause.

Dressed in white, her face was in a somewhat gloomy hall, and Liu Jing, who was too white, smiled when she heard the words.

Her smile didn't reach her eyes.

Therefore, when Liu Jing laughed, Queen Deng slowly put away her smile.

Under Empress Deng's gaze, Liu Jing stood up.

After kneeling down to Queen Deng, she said in a clear voice: "Queen Mother, I don't want to!" Liu Jing smiled, although her voice was not loud, but because of the structure of this palace, it seemed a little echoy, "Niangniang, I am now Liu Baiyi, I am very comfortable and comfortable." There is no such reason, I have a good life, but I don't enjoy a free and easy life, I want to enter other people's backyards, be concubines, and kneel down to the master mother to set up rules. Mother, don't you say? ”

Liu Jing stood up and said clearly: "The queen mother gave the Liu family a son's seal, and the Liu family is willing to be a man for the rest of his life." Niangniang may not know, I have sent a letter to the Liu clan two days ago, and now, in the Liu clan, there is no Liu Jing, only Liu Baiyi. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jing bowed and bowed, "Niangniang, Liu Baiyi's words are finished, please retire!" ”

…… After a while, Queen Deng's somewhat cold voice came, "Okay, stand down." ”

"Thank you, mother." Liu Jing lowered her head and slowly stepped back.

When she retreated to the entrance of the hall, Empress Deng's voice suddenly came, "Ah Qing! Her voice was a little high, "Come in!" ”

So, when he passed by Liu Jing, Deng Jiulang, who was about to turn around and chase after Liu Jing, was stunned. Deng Jiulang, who had the light on his back, stood at the door of the hall in a daze, with a calm face, looking at his sister almost painfully, when he was the supreme ruler!

Empress Deng opened her eyes to look at him, and ordered in a loud voice again: "Come in, sit down for me!" ”
