37. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry

In this way, Qing'er was taken into the carriage in a daze and went to the residence of the beautiful Li Zhengrong.

It was a very clean and elegant courtyard, and there were more than a dozen maids waiting in it, in good order.

Under the care of the little maid, Qing'er bathed and changed her clothes and came out to see Li Zhengrong again.

Li Zhengrong smiled and took her hand, and praised repeatedly: "What a rare beauty!" Previously, I only said that this capital is full of mundane things, but today I know that the real beauties are 'raised in the deep boudoir'! ”

A few little maids next to her also joined in and praised, making Qing'er's old face slightly red: "I'll be cheeky when others praise me for my good looks, so don't praise me, right?" You yourself are a real golden phoenix, no matter how good-looking my little sparrow is, I can't stand your praise! ”

Li Zhengrong's smile stiffened slightly, and his eyes were a little more vigilant: "What did my sister say I am?" ”

Qing'er met her gaze and smiled calmly: "'Li' is the surname of the Great Zhou State, and now General Liu has stolen the country and usurped the throne, and the first one who can't be let go is surnamed Li." People who are willing to say this surname at such a time must be in a high position in Dazhou and be deeply proud of this surname. If I'm not mistaken, you're at least a county lord. ”

Li Zhengrong looked at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled again: "No wonder I feel kind when I see you, it turns out that my sister is really my confidant." Yes, I am the daughter of Prince Da Zhou Li, and I am titled 'Mingxian County Lord' - now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is gone, I, the 'County Lord', have become a joke. ”

Qing'er shook her head, still smiling: "Who said that the Great Zhou Dynasty is gone?" Isn't there still an emperor surnamed Li in Xinglong City! ”

As soon as these words came out, she clearly saw the two mothers-in-law next to her.

However, Li Zhengrong's expression was flat, and he couldn't see his joy or anger: "If my Li family really has the day when the rivers and mountains are reorganized, Zhengrong will definitely thank my sister for today's auspicious words." By the way, I don't know what my sister is called! ”

"I ......" Qing'er hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the word "Song", and said casually: "My name is Qing'er." ”

At this time, what she thought in her heart was: The Song family is deeply entangled with the Great Zhou court, so it is better not to mention the three words "Song Qiongzhang", but don't talk about chatting and talking about an enemy who has raided the family and exterminated the clan.

Unexpectedly, the word "Qing'er" was not much better. As soon as she reported this name, Li Zhengrong's face immediately changed: "Your name is Qing'er?!" ”

The words were out and couldn't be taken back, so Qing'er had to bite the bullet and continue to pretend to be careless: "Yes." It's a bit of a random name, but I've called it for as long as I can remember, and it doesn't seem necessary to change it at the moment. ”

"That's right," Li Zhengrong slowly adjusted his face, "This name is simple and vulgar, you don't need to change it - I'm a little tired now, my sister will also go back to the room to rest for a while, and come out to eat with me in the evening, okay?" ”

As soon as her words fell, a little maid came out and made a "please" gesture to Qing'er.

Qing'er saw that these people's faces were not as kind as just now, and they knew that something was wrong, so she slowed down intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a little maid's voice angrily: "Qing'er, Qing'er, Qing'er again!" Why is she haunted......"

The mother-in-law next to her hurriedly scolded, waiting for Qing'er's footsteps to go away, and then hesitated to speak: "No wonder Miss Sujuan is angry, a 'Qing'er' lives with us every day, and no one likes it!" I don't think that girl cares much about that name, why didn't the county lord help her change it by the way? ”

"It's just a name," Li Zhengrong said lightly, "there's nothing to change." I'm not so bad that I can't hear the word 'Qing'er'. ”

"Yes, yes," the mother-in-law said with a smile, "What a young man, aren't all damn dead!" ”

Li Zhengrong didn't answer this sentence again, his slender fingers flicked the tea cup on the table, and his face was flat: "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed: "The emperor said that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so please don't be impatient." ”

"Hot tofu?" Li Zhengrong smiled bitterly, with a sad expression: "Where is there any 'hot tofu' now?" If I delay like this any longer, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to take my turn to burn the leftovers! ”

"The county lord ......," the mother-in-law wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Zhengrong finally couldn't help it, and stood up irritably: "Send a message to Liu Jing'an immediately, telling him to come out to see me, just tonight!" ”
