"I know, thank you." Qing Ling wanted to speak and stopped, and a trace of sorrow was dyed between his eyebrows.

Presumably Duan Bailan had already informed her.

"In that case, it's hard for you to wait for me here." Liu Nianru nodded at her, and planned to go back to the house with a long dance.

The carriage of the royal palace was parked just outside the dock.

"Sister Nianru, I was abrupt, I shouldn't have bothered you." Qingling suddenly called out to Liu Nianru and said to her.

Liu Nianru couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a while, why she suddenly said this to herself. But she still said kindly: "Lord Qingling, you have a pure heart, but not everything is as beautiful as you imagined, you should also grow up, and you must be able to distinguish right from wrong."

"Qing Ling remembered." Qing Ling seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Although I don't understand love, it's just Lu Gong, you forgot." Liu Nianru said.

As an outsider, she couldn't see it more clearly. Lu Gong is not an ordinary man, and his end will not even be very good.

It's a bad relationship after all.

"Qingling understands, but there are always many people and many things that we can't let go. Qingling never regretted knowing him. Her words were conclusive, and her determined appearance reminded Liu Nianru of what Lu Gong said, in this world, there are always things worth protecting.

It's really carved out of a mold. The same stubbornness is unknown, but it is also a match.

"Whatever you want." Liu Nianru actually sighed.

The palace was as quiet as ever, and when she returned to her small courtyard, Aya was watering the flowers, and when she saw her back, she ran over happily.

"Oh? She's gained a lot of weight. Liu Nianru looked at this little girl who looked smart, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and if she is a few years older, she must also be a beauty.

"I've seen the county lord." Aya said happily, her eyes were smart and very attentive.

Chang Wu followed behind him and added: "County Lord, after you left, the prince specially sent General Wang Xun to check the ins and outs of the matter, and sure enough, it was Wu Qiang who misunderstood Aya. But now Wu Qiang has been kicked out of the palace. Don't worry, with me watching, no one in this palace dares to bully Aya anymore. ”

Liu Nianru recalled the incident more than a month ago, and couldn't imagine that Duan Bailan was so careful and solved this matter by the way.

Aya also took Changwu's hand and said happily: "Yes, the kindness of the county lord and Changwu's sister, Aya will remember it in her heart."

Liu Nianru smiled, she has only Changwu serving her all the year round, and now Changwu has a companion, which is also very good.

After resting for a few more days, she gradually eased up and began to work on the affairs of the Northern Army.

The Northern Expeditionary Army is different from the soldiers she trained in the past, it is an orthodox army, which has been on the scene countless times and is full of blood.

Changwu has Aya, and he is more keen to care about the gossip in Kyoto, whether the two of them are whispering and discussing, saying that the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is in love with which girl, and the suitors of the lord of Qingling are all lined up from Kyoto to the moat. But she didn't care about any of that.

"County Lord, don't you know, I heard that the Seventh Prince seems to be about to take care of it, he actually asked the emperor for marriage, and I don't know whose girl can get this honor." Changwu and Aya gathered around Liu Nianru and shared the anecdotes they heard today.

"Oh?" Liu Nianru was interested.

That ridiculous prince who is extremely narcissistic and coquettish would ask the emperor for marriage? She remembered what happened with the Seventh Prince in Jiangnan, and shook her head, not knowing which girl he was going to harm.

"That's right, now the whole capital has spread the word. I heard that the emperor has already allowed it, but I don't know what the holy decree will come down. Chang Wu said.

"Is there anything special about these Seven Princes?" Aya looked at Changwu with a blank expression.

When she was in the palace before, she had always kept to herself, and she had never learned about these things.

"These seven princes are romantic, and they have provoked many more crazy men and women in the capital, you don't know." Changwu nodded the tip of Aya's nose and said.

"Then wouldn't his imperial concubine be miserable, because the seven princes love one when they see one." Aya said innocently.

Changwu was asked for a while, and Nuo Nuo said, "This is also true."

Liu Nianru thought that although Xiao Yan always behaved incompetently, it might just be his disguise.

She remembered that Duan Bailan had told him that Xiao Yan never did indifferent things, maybe this marriage proposal would bring about a change in the forces in Kyoto. So she said to Chang Wu: "Chang Wu, you continue to care about this matter, and if the candidate for the Seven Imperial Concubines is confirmed, tell me."

After speaking, she went back to the room with Shi Shiran, leaving Changwu and Aya stunned.

The county lord would reply to them!

What Chang Wu knows, Liu Wanyan will not have heard of it. What's more, she has been in love with the Seventh Prince for a long time, and she can't wait to stick a pair of eyes to his body.

"Mother, the Seventh Prince actually asked the emperor for marriage, and I don't know which girl he asked for." Liu Wanyan clenched her handkerchief tightly and said to Aunt Wang for help.

The intersection between her and the Seven Princes, except for the day he saved her, was only when he was on the training ground that day. She went in by the light of Concubine Yao.

"Don't worry, now that Concubine Yao likes you so much, maybe it was Concubine Yao and the Seventh Prince who talked about you, and asked to marry. After all, you are also a celebrity in front of the concubine, and she likes you very much. Aunt Wang comforted.

Ever since she had the idea of letting Liu Wanyan marry into the royal family that day, she has done everything possible to catch the line of Concubine Yao.

Liu Wanyan was born not badly, although her mind was a little vicious, she was also a smart and careful girl. What's more, although she is a concubine, except for Liu Nianru, who is a concubine, everyone understands General Liu's love for her, so she also rises with the tide.

Therefore, it is understandable that Concubine Yao values her.

"Mother, you said the Seventh Prince, will he like me?" Liu Wanyan is a little impressive, after all, the girls are thin-skinned.

"Who wouldn't like a girl in my family? You can rest assured. Aunt Wang hurriedly reassured.

Of course, this is what happened to the Liu family.

And after Concubine Yao in the palace knew about this, she almost didn't have a crooked nose.

"What? He actually proposed marriage to the emperor, but he was still that stinky girl? With a wave of her hand, the luxurious jewelry on the dresser fell to the ground with a clatter, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.

"Yes." The palace maid in front of her looked at Concubine Yao nervously and said.
