Chapter 504: Huaichun
The news that he was rude to the monarch of Liang and was imprisoned caused a sensation in Liang! Naturally, this news did not hide from An Xiabai and Lu Li's eyes, and when they learned that Qi Sai was locked up in prison, An Xia Bai was extremely happy: "Although this is a bit excessive, I just think that Qi Sai deserves it!" ”
If he hadn't provoked a dispute between the two countries and An An had been his quasi-crown prince, where would there be so many things?
There are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of his ambition and actual ability.
It was her own fault that the game ended up in this situation, so An Xiabai didn't sympathize with him at all, and now that things have developed, it's very good if she doesn't clap her hands and say that she will fall into the well soon!
"It's funny," An Xiabai said with a smile, "the last time Qi Sai was rude to the monarch of Liang Guoguo, he just confined Qi Saiguang, but now he has put people in a prison cell, and I have heard that he gave a death order; Even the imperial doctors who treated Qi Sai are not allowed to see him, do you say that Qi Sai will never have a chance to turn over again this time? ”
Lu Li nodded: "Unless he can suddenly wake up, there will be no more chances." ”
When he first gained power, it can be said that he was calling for wind and rain in Liang Kingdom, and he didn't know how many people's blood stood on his hands, and now he is down, and some people want to deal with him, but his brothers who covet the position of the crown prince are enough for him to drink a pot, and they still need to make a move?
Not to mention regaining his senses, no one knows if Qi Sai will be able to get out of prison alive.
The more An Xiabai thought about it, the happier she became, because she suddenly remembered another news she heard earlier today, that the monarch of Liang Guoguo was going to choose a concubine!
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although I haven't seen Liang Guojun, I've heard people describe his appearance and age!" So old, and still so? I heard that he chose a concubine in the territory of Liang this time, and the girls who were all about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he himself didn't want to think about how long he could live? ”
It's a pity for the women who were sent to the palace!
An Xia Bai's regretful and funny expression was like the best flower in Lu Li's eyes: "People pursue the same thing, just like Madam, you like gold and silver treasures, but some women like power and status, maybe marrying into the palace will become a shortcut for them to enjoy glory and wealth." By the way, does the queen want to leave the palace with me today? ”
An Xia Bai turned her gaze in surprise: "What are you doing out of the palace?" ”
Lu Li coughed lightly: "I heard that the flowers in the peony garden in the capital are blooming just right, and I want to go with the queen to see it." ”
An Xiabai felt even more strange: "What's so beautiful about peonies?" ”
Although the peony outside the palace is also beautiful, the peony in the palace is not bad, in the palace, everything is the best, why does Lu Li want to go out of the palace?
In An Xiabai's confused gaze, Lu Li finally chose to confess: "Although the peony in the palace is beautiful, the atmosphere in the palace is not good, and there will be a bunch of people following you when you take two steps, does the queen like it?" Tomorrow is a special day, and we have to take time out to celebrate. ”
The more An Xiabai listened, the more confused she became, what day is tomorrow, and do you still need the two of them to celebrate alone?
Sometimes her wife is shrewd like an abacus, but sometimes she is as confused as a cat, and she forgets such an important day tomorrow, which really shouldn't be! Lu Li, who was helpless, could only sigh and said, "Madam, what day was tomorrow five years ago, you really don't remember?" ”
"I don't remember ......."
"It's our wedding day, and by tomorrow, the two of us will have been married for five years, do you think you should celebrate such an important day?"
An Xiabai's face suddenly turned red!
She really doesn't remember this incident, and the person who married Lu Li in the first place was not her, where would she have an impression? And in the past four years, I haven't seen Lu Li specifically mention it, and now that she suddenly talks about it, she naturally can't react.
An Xiabai coughed embarrassedly twice: "I've been too busy recently, so I forgot about it, I listened to Your Majesty, tomorrow we will go out of the palace to play." ”
Lu Li, who got a satisfactory answer, nodded with a smile.
The next morning, after Lu Li dealt with the important twists and turns, he rushed directly to An Xiabai's Kunning Palace, and the sleeping queen pulled him up.
"Queen, it's time for us to go."
An Xiabai rubbed his eyes in a daze, and his expression was a little melancholy: "What .......time is it?"
"It's three poles in the sun, it's not early, the queen hurry up and dress up, how about we leave immediately?"
Feeling Lu Li's anxiety, what else could An Xiabai say? I had to resign myself to getting up from the bed, and then called the maid to dress up. When An Xiabai and Lu Li cleaned up themselves, the time froze to noon, and this time out of the palace, Lu Li didn't bring too many guards, but just brought two secret guards with good martial arts, and then took An Xiabai to the peony garden.
Because the peony bloomed just right, there were not only the two of them in the garden, but also many young ladies and ladies who also got together in twos and threes, and seemed to be dating. The atmosphere is like this, and the scene of An Xiabai and Lu Li standing together from time to time was not noticed, and they were hidden in the crowd like an extremely ordinary but loving couple.
I don't know where Lu Li took out a small box and sent it to An Xiabai with a smile.
An Xiabai was surprised: "What is this?" ”
"Let's open it and take a look."
Out of curiosity about the things in the box, An Xiabai slowly opened the box, only to see that inside the wooden box, a hairpin with not particularly exquisite workmanship but ingenuity was lying in it.
"This hairpin ........"
The king, who has always been calm, rarely showed a cramped appearance, as if he was worried about whether he would like the gift he sent: "This hairpin is a gift for you, I think that Mrs. is not short of gold and silver treasures, presumably there are countless jewelry in the makeup box, so I changed a way to prepare gifts, this hairpin is made by me and a good handicraft attendant in the palace, but unfortunately because the time is too hasty, it is not exquisite enough, I hope Mrs. will not dislike it." ”
Seeing his anxious appearance, An Xiabai smiled slightly, and the hairpin was stuffed into Lu Li's hand again.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and his voice trembled a little: "Madame......."
"I like this hairpin very much, all the jewelry in my makeup box doesn't look as good as it combined, so my husband will help me put it on."
The joy on Lu Li's face was undisguised!
Just when the emperor and queen were talking about their love words in the corner of the garden, two noble ladies who were hanging out walked to this side.
They were busy discussing the things they were concerned about, and they didn't pay attention to An Xia Bai and Lu Li in the corner of the road, two big living people, who were ignored by them so vividly.
An Xiabai originally wanted to pull Lu Li away directly, so as not to be misunderstood as them eavesdropping on others, but as soon as they stepped out, a voice came from behind them, and the voice belonged to one of the women, and the content of the topic was related to Lu Li!
"Look at the monarch of the Liang country, and then look at our majesty? The difference between the two is really not an exaggeration to use a cloud mud metaphor! Our Majesty is handsome, virtuous, and dedicated, and those people in the royal family of Liang Kingdom are not as good as a finger of Your Majesty! Alas, His Majesty's only drawback is that he is too dedicated! ”
"Isn't it, how many women in the capital are devoted to Your Majesty, but it's a pity that Your Majesty always only likes the queen!"
The woman who spoke at the beginning sneered: "I don't believe that there are really such infatuated men in the world, Your Majesty has never accepted a concubine, it must be because the women he met are not beautiful enough, and when he meets a woman who is more beautiful than the queen's mother, he will definitely be moved." She said as she ruffled her hair.
Another lady smiled and said, "I think you have a chance!" ”
"Hmph, you can't talk nonsense! Do you know why there are so many people in the Peony Garden today? It's not because there are rumors in the palace that His Majesty is going out of the palace today, and Miss Jiang, who I met just now, is dressed up so charmingly, probably just to attract His Majesty's attention! Hmph, she doesn't look at her background, she wants to fly on the branches to be a phoenix with such an ordinary face? What a dream! ”
"Yes, yes, you're better looking."
The two women walked away as they spoke.
Looking at their departing backs, Lu Li's mood was extremely complicated, he never thought that he would be like this in the eyes of the girls in the capital!
Lu Li, who felt the low pressure of the people around him, hurriedly explained: "What they said is all false, I don't care about Mrs. Looks, whether Mrs. is beautiful or ugly, no matter how amazing and gorgeous a beauty I will meet in the future, my psychology will always be only Mrs. one, and this will never be transferred." ”
Lu Li's affectionate appearance successfully dispelled the anger in An Xiabai's heart.
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled, and quietly took Lu Li's hand and walked out.
On this day, they walked through all the interesting places in the capital, and not only that, but they also took the time to see the General's Mansion where they had lived before.
Because this is the place where the emperor once lived, even if it is idle now, there are many guards guarding the door, and some people take care of every plant and tree in the house.
The two walked through with emotion, and finally decided to return to the palace in the evening.
What neither of them expected was that there would be something at the gate of the palace! When they came to the palace gate, the first thing they saw was all kinds of flower and fruit baskets, which were placed in the open space in front of the palace gate like stars, and there were many young and beautiful women standing next to them, as if they were waiting for someone.
Lu Li and An Xiabai didn't expect this to happen, so they followed the route and went directly back to the palace.
As a result, in front of the gate of the Orr Palace, they were stopped!
When those young and beautiful girls saw Lu Li, they were like seeing the light, and their faces were even a little excited.
, Before Lu Li and An Xiabai could react to what they were going to do, the forbidden army that recognized their identities had already hurriedly stepped forward to surround them with three layers inside and three layers outside!
This move made the crowd of girls more and more excited.
Lu Li and An Xiabai couldn't help but begin to doubt their lives: "Who are these people, and why are they blocked in front of the palace gate?" ”
