Lu Fang cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the rumors that have been widely circulated in the palace recently?" Recently, Concubine Xiang of Liang Guo is very diligent in talking to you, and it can be said that rumors have spread in the palace about this matter. ”

When Lu Li heard this, everyone was in a trance, what could he and Concubine Xiang have?

"What did they choreograph?"

"The people in the palace say that Concubine Xiang's appearance is overwhelming, and you are a couple with Your Majesty, and some people say that Concubine Xiangniang and Your Majesty have already met when they were in Lingcheng, and the two are talented and beautiful, and they are in love. In short, how the legend came, one by one, it was all passed on, if it weren't for the fact that Wechen had witnessed the deep love between the queen mother and His Majesty, I'm afraid Wechen couldn't help but believe it. ”

Lu Li's face was pale, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly because of annoyance.

"That's nonsense!"

"But isn't it, these rumors are so outrageous, the only pity is that there are people who believe it."

One to ten, ten to hundred, I didn't believe it at first, but after hearing it so many times, how can I not believe it so much?

No wonder An Xiabai lost so much temper with himself just now, it turned out that he cared about him!

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and ran to the road he had just come from, in order to see An Xiabai, and then explain to her that he was abnormal!

What Lu Li didn't expect was that the time would be so coincidental, and when he came back, An Xiabai just left the palace.

In a hurry, he grabbed the skirt of the chamberlain's clothes and asked, "Where has the queen gone?"

I didn't expect Lu Li to go and return, and the inner servant said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, as soon as you left with your front foot, the queen left the palace with her back foot, saying that the palace was too dull, and she went out of the palace to talk to Miss Yang, Your Majesty, what are you ......?"

Lu Li said calmly: "I am here waiting for the queen to come back."

At the same time, An Xiabai had just come to the small courtyard where Yang Xiao lived.

Looking at the inconspicuous gate of the small courtyard hidden in the alley, An Xiabai couldn't help frowning: "Ah Xiao." How can you live in a place like this? ”

Yang Xiao looked at the small courtyard where he lived, this place lived up to the small words in the name, the area was only as big as a palm, and the houses were still old, at a glance, he knew that after many years, how could such a small courtyard match Yang Xiao?

An Xiabai, who felt sorry for Yang Xiao, took her hand and said, "Ah Xiao, why don't you go back to the palace with me?"

"Actually, it's also very good to live here, although the house is a little older and the yard is smaller, but it's better to be clean, I like the environment here." Yang Xiao smiled and blinked his eyes and said, "Where to live, not to live?" I'm on my own, and it's nice to have a sheltered place to sleep. ”

Yang Xiao has experienced despair, so he knows how to cherish life.

An Xiabai knew that she showed such an expression because she remembered something, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Ah Xiao, I came to see you today, mainly to see the injury on your leg, how is the imperial doctor who came over some time ago?" Did the prescribed method work? ”

As soon as Yang Xiao mentioned the injury on his leg, he subconsciously lowered his eyebrows: "It's better than before, but it's not good yet." The imperial doctor said that my injury was not easy to treat mainly because it had been injured for too long and had to be recuperated slowly. He reassured me that he could be cured. ”

Hearing the latter sentence, An Xiabai's heart was completely relaxed.

"If you can be cured, you will be cured......"

In fact, An Xiabai came to Yang Xiao specially today, in addition to asking her how her injuries were, one more thing was to ask Yang Xiao's wishes. She discussed with Lu Li, the establishment of a women's private school has been almost done, and now the only thing missing is Mr., An Xia Bai thought about it, and felt that the two reliable gentlemen in the capital were Chen Lian and Yang Xiao, maybe after Lu Liuer's marriage period passed, she would invite Lu Liuer over, this kind of person is a really reliable person.

"Ah Xiao, have you thought about the matter I mentioned to you last time?"

Yang Xiao nodded slowly, and said word by word: "I thought about it, I decided not to go." I'm sorry, Queen, I really can't do this. ”

Let Yang Xiao follow the army to the border pass, and tailor all kinds of equipment for the soldiers in the barracks, she may be able to work hard, but let her teach and educate people, Yang Xiao can't get it, she hasn't read a few books! If you died before, you can only be regarded as a businessman, how can you let a businessman teach and educate people? Don't embarrass me, the queen. ”

Yang Xiao said it clearly enough, but An Xiabai just didn't want to listen.

She still clung to the last glimmer of hope: "I really don't plan to think about it one last time?"

Yang Xiao chose to shake his head without hesitation: "I have already made a decision, that is, not to go."

"Since Ah Xiao is unwilling to go to the women's private school, then I won't persuade you, you should know in your heart, it's not good if I say too much."

Yang Xiao glanced at An Xiabai with emotion: "Thank you for the understanding...... It would be nice if everyone could understand each other. ”

There was something in Yang Xiao's words, and An Xia Bai heard it clearly.

"Ah Xiao, what do you mean by this......"

Yang Xiao sighed and said, "Earlier today, I had a quarrel with Lu Fang, and the main reason for the quarrel was because we couldn't understand each other. Lu Fang wanted me to go to a women's private school to be a gentleman, but I was resolutely unwilling. ”

I don't know what Yang Xiao remembered, there was a light flashing in his staring eyes: "Did I tell you?" In fact, in the entire capital, the person I admire the most is Ruqing. Ruqing is obviously a daughter, but she has the martial arts and courage that is not inferior to a man, I have hoped countless times that I can be as brave as Ruqing, even if I can't go to the battlefield, it's good to help them in the rear of the army. In short, being a gentleman is not my goal in life. ”

The difference between Yang Xiao and Lu Fang is here, Lu Fang hopes that she can live a more stable life, and it is best that those dangerous things stay away from Yang Xiao for the rest of her life!

An Xiabai patted Yang Xiao's shoulder and said, "Lu Fang, it's also for your safety."

"I understand, but a stable life has never been what I seek."

The two talked for a while about their goals in life, and only when the twilight was approaching and the sky was about to get dark did An Xiabai get up and go back to the palace.

What she never expected was that Lu Li would be in her palace.

Looking at Lu Li, who was sitting in the position and carefully reviewing the folds, An Xiabai's heart was pounding.

How did he end up here? At this time, shouldn't he be angry?

"Your Majesty......"

Lu Li saw An Xiabai back in a blink of an eye, and the smile and joy on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Queen, you're back at noon!"

"Why is Your Majesty waiting for me?"

Speaking of this, Lu Li behaved a little cramped: "After I left Kunning Palace, I thought about it carefully for a while, and I felt that the fault was all mine, I was not in a good mood during this time, and it affected the queen's ......."

An Xiabai frowned: "The fault is not Your Majesty, but on me." Originally, when a woman is pregnant, it is easy to lose control of her feelings, but I am wrong for venting it at will without moderation. ”

Lu Li's heart warmed slightly, and he didn't let go of the person: "No, queen, I think I was more wrong." In the past few days, there have been so many twists and turns in various places, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters have come in waves, and I am really unable to deal with these aftermaths...... So I haven't paid attention to the rumors in the palace recently. ”

An Xiabai's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, because she really cared about this matter, so she chose to be silent and listen to Lu Li's slow explanation.

"Actually, things are not at all what they rumored, those people are all making up, in this world, the only person I like is the queen, you are, and will be. This relationship will not change because of the change of age and appearance. ”

"But I saw you talking to Concubine Xiang. And more than once. ”

Lu Li felt a headache about this matter: "Empress, you really misunderstood me this time, do you know what Concubine Xiang talked about when she talked to me?" In fact, every time she talks to me, it's because of you, the queen, from the pastries that the queen likes to eat, to the queen's life experience, all of which are things she wants to inquire about. If Concubine Xiang really admired someone in this palace, I think that person should be the queen, not me. ”

An Xiabai didn't expect things to develop in this direction, she was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks flushed: "Is this really the case?"

Lu Li hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "If what I said just now is false, I will thunder and thunder in the sky, and I will not die well."

In this way, An Xiabai had to believe it.

Just when the emperor and queen were talking, Fanghua hurriedly came and brought the news of Concubine Xiang, saying that Concubine Xiang was about to leave Jiang and return to Liang, and she had been taken care of by the queen these days, so she came over to thank her and say goodbye.

Lu Li was not surprised at all: "She finally mustered up the courage to meet the queen, in order to avoid suspicion, I will avoid it first."

Lu Li said, and took his own recital to the inner room.

If An Xiabai had doubts about Lu Li's sentence that Concubine Xiang liked herself, then when she saw Concubine Xiang, she knew that this matter was actually very possible, because Concubine Xiang's eyes looking at her were always light, as if they had fallen into the stars, and people's eyes generally did not deceive.

An Xiabai felt more and more confused, because she had a good memory, and she couldn't remember what intersection she had with Concubine Xiang.

"Concubine Xiang, what are you?"

Concubine Xiang bit her lower lip lightly and plucked up the courage to say: "The concubine has admired the queen for a long time, and seeing her today, she finally fulfilled the dream in her heart."

"Concubine Xiang admires this palace? If this palace is not mistaken, we didn't cross paths before, right? ”

Concubine Xiang nodded, and said very frankly: "The concubine and the queen mother really have no intersection, but the concubine admires the queen is true, and the concubine came to Jiang Country specially in the hope of seeing the queen mother."

has admiration for someone who has never met before, and the more An Xiabai listens to it, the more outrageous it feels.

"Can you tell Hongu why?"
