At Mrs. Lou's insistence, Lou Que finally did not take Zheng Xian'er to leave early.

Later, the people on the door came to report that they were the fourth prince of Ge and they came, so Lou Que had to go back to the front flower hall to meet the guests, and before going out, he took Zheng Xian'er's hand and told him a thousand times, and he didn't know that he thought he was going to go out for ten years and eight years.

Zheng Xian'er just hummed and agreed, not paying attention to what he told at all.

Anyway, she has never been afraid of anyone in her life, let alone what Mrs. Miss will come in a while, even if the queen comes, she will at most go to the opera garden to watch the big drama and watch the excitement.

Therefore, while others were busy guessing who would come today, Zheng Xian'er still only cared about eating and drinking, and didn't care about anything else.

Hu Shi couldn't see it, so he quietly pulled the corner of her clothes on the side, and said in a low voice: "I heard that many people in the capital are thinking about the five brothers!" You didn't hide your affairs from anyone, I don't know how many young ladies from rich and noble families are secretly hating you at this time, and the girl Ning just now is obviously here to please Mrs. and give you a ride by the way. She's the first, but I'm afraid it won't be the last, so you have to be prepared! ”

Zheng Xian'er took a sip of tea and took a mouthful of pastry that choked her throat, and smiled: "Come on, come, will I be afraid?" ”

"Of course you're not afraid," Hu Shi smiled, "but I'm afraid you're going to offend the girls in the city!" ”

Zheng Xian'er sat up straight and pouted, "Sister-in-law said something wrong. It's not that I've offended the girls of the city, it's the girls who don't have long eyes who have sinned against me—they don't think about my man anymore, and why should they still beat me up? ”

Hu Shi smiled and shook his head: "They don't think people are yours." ”

Zheng Xian'er sighed, and seemed a little helpless: "Whether the person is mine or not, I don't count if I say it, they don't count even more if they say it, only what Tongjie himself says counts." Miss Ning thought she was smart, but she didn't seem to understand that the only way to marry a man was to conquer the man himself, not to please the man's mother, let alone to bully and humiliate other women. ”

After listening to her, Hu frowned and thought for a long time, and finally smiled again: "The marriage of the two surnames has always followed the words of the matchmaker according to the orders of the parents, so the method chosen by Miss Ning is not wrong." How did she know that the five brothers would not follow these rules? ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled: "In this way, the only mistake of Miss Ning is that she chose the wrong person. ”

Hu didn't know what to say, so he could only smile bitterly.

Mrs. Lou sat upright, pretending to close her eyes and recuperate, but her ears kept listening to everyone's words.

Zheng Xian'er's words fell into her ears, and she couldn't help frowning again and again.

But at this moment, she didn't dare to speak more.

What she did during this time, whether the starting point was well-intentioned or selfish, the final result made her feel frustrated and disappointed without exception. She had to face the fact that her son had become separated from her.

But she had to confess the culprit and coax her with kind words.

Being a mother to do this is really a failure.

All afternoon, Mrs. Lou had been thinking and sighing with self-pity. Even when guests enter the door, she can't raise the interest to entertain them.

Fortunately, as Mr. Lou expected, there were very few female guests today, only a few ladies, each with one or two daughters, except for greetings and general chat, there was not much to say.

After all, not every girl comes with the belief that she will win like Miss Ning.

As the focus of the current hot topic, Zheng Xian'er will inevitably be looked at a few more times. Although everyone tried their best to pretend to be gentle and friendly, she could see the contempt and ...... hidden in their eyes Hate.

It's normal to be disdainful, and as for hatred, she probably already knows why.

So, at least half of the girls who came to visit today were worried about Lou Que?

Zheng Xian'er didn't bother to pay attention to those strange eyes. Looking at the beads in the hall, she only felt bored and bored.

Fortunately, when the banquet was about to begin, an old man finally came.

Li Wanqing.

Mrs. Lai was different from ordinary guests, she knelt down as soon as she entered the door.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly went over to help her up, and said with a smile: "Come to the banquet well, what are you doing?" ”

Mrs. Li lowered her head and sat down, wiped her tears and said, "I really don't know what to say...... It stands to reason that we are fellow villagers, and the children of the two families have known each other since childhood, and now they have become protégés of the Son of Heaven together, which can be regarded as fate. But what my lord did was really ......."

Mrs. Lou turned the Buddha beads and smiled shallowly: "It's in the past, why do you mention it?" That case was originally created by the minions of the puppet emperor to frame our students in Sangyu County, and Master Li was only in his position, so he had to do this, could my Lou family still resent you? ”

Mrs. Li wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile: "The Lou family naturally doesn't blame us. My grandfather was imprisoned before, if it weren't for the Lou family's intercession, now I'm afraid that his life is long gone, and Geng'er's future will be impossible. Now although our lord has resigned, Geng'er has been able to enter the court, which is the great grace of the Lou family to repay grievances with virtue, and our Li family dare not forget. ”

Being so flattered in person, Mrs. Lou was in a good mood, and the smile on her face finally deepened: "The two children have been friends since childhood, and they can help if they can, so why bother talking about this little thing!" ”

Most of the ladies and ladies of the rest of the families listened with just the right smiles, and echoed them at the right time, and the atmosphere was happy.

Zheng Xian'er suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised her head and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li's words are not right. The Li family was able to be safe and sound, because Lord Li himself was not too much at fault, and the emperor was merciful, so he couldn't bear to implicate the public. Even if the Lou family said one or two good words for Lord Li in a timely manner, it was just because they understood the emperor's forgiveness and pushed the boat along the river. This matter, you can thank the emperor, you can thank Shiyun, or Lord Xie Li himself is an upright official, but you don't have to thank the Lou family! ”

Mrs. Li woke up and recalled the mocking eyes of everyone when they looked at her just now, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the most thankful thing is the emperor's grace!" Now that my son Li Geng has been appointed to the court, he will have the day to repay the emperor's favor in the future. ”

When the few ladies present heard this, when they looked at Zheng Xian'er again, their eyes were a little different from before.

Only Mrs. Lou frowned and threw a dissatisfied look.

Zheng Xian'er only pretended not to see, still lowered her head to eat and drink by herself, and said no more.

So the topic was revealed, and everyone began to talk casually about the short gossip of the parents.

Li Wanqing turned a blind eye to the food on the table, and kept secretly looking at Zheng Xian'er, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

Zheng Xian'er can only know this girl at most, and she really doesn't have anything to say. So even if she knew that the other party was scrutinizing her, she just smiled casually and didn't intend to talk.

I thought that there would be nothing to do with each other, but when they met for the third time, Li Wanqing suddenly smiled at her: "Sister Zheng, I'm a little dizzy, can you go out for a walk with me?" ”

Zheng Xian'er also happened to be tired of sitting down, and this request can be said to be in the middle of the favor.

Li Wanqing is a careful person, as soon as she goes out, she holds Zheng Xian'er's hand, and when she crosses the threshold and goes down the steps, she can't forget to remind Zheng Xian'er to be careful with her feet, and she is a little more cautious than Zheng Xian'er, a pregnant woman.

In the courtyard of the Lou family in the capital, Zheng Xian'er also came for the first time, and she couldn't even tell the difference between east and west, north and south. So the two of them just walked around, and even let them find a small garden.

It happened that there were a few peonies in the garden surrounded a pavilion, so Li Wanqing helped Zheng Xian'er over and sat down.

Zheng Xian'er looked at the woman's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help laughing: "You have something to say to me, right?" ”

"Yes!" Li Wanqing immediately admitted it.

Zheng Xian'er looked at her with a smile.

Li Wanqing took a deep breath and made up her mind: "I know everything about you and Lou Gongzi." ”

Zheng Xian'er laughed "sneer": "Don't you know? The whole world knows! ”

Li Wanqing thought about it for a while, and sighed a little lost: "Indeed...... However, I knew about it a little earlier than anyone else. ”

Zheng Xian'er was not interested in this topic, and only responded casually when she heard this: "Oh." ”

Li Wanqing looked at her with a pair of sparkling eyes: "I've always had a question for you - aren't you really Rulan?" ”

Zheng Xian'er's face changed slightly.

Li Wanqing held her hand: "Sure enough, it's you!" My brother and Lou Gongzi both said that you are not, but how can there be such a coincidence in the world? How can there be two people who look exactly the same in a small Sangyu County! ”

"I'm not." Zheng Xian'er's face sank.

Li Wanqing looked at her and smiled: "That's right, who hasn't had a past that they don't want to mention?" If you say no, then it's not good. Sister Zheng, are you sincere to Lou Gongzi? ”

"It's none of your business." Zheng Xian'er's heart was a little annoyed.

Li Wanqing herself is not annoying.

She looked into Zheng Xian'er's eyes and said sincerely: "I guess you must be sincere, otherwise you wouldn't have given birth to a child for him under the scolding of the whole world." Sister Zheng, I'm different from others, I'm not here to scold you, I really admire you. If you like someone, you have to be desperate like this, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, you are willing to break through for him......"

"You still scold me!" Zheng Xian'er muttered softly.

Li Wanqing was still immersed in her own emotion: "Sister Zheng, I thought that those heart-wrenching love stories could only be seen on the stage and in the book, but it was you and Lou Gongzi who made me believe that the kind of deep affection that breaks through the shackles of the world and promises to die really exists!" Do you know? I heard people at home say that you made a big fuss about the execution ground in order to save him and used your life to buy time for them, and I was so moved that I cried for a long time! I envy you so much! ”

Zheng Xian'er withdrew her hand and rubbed her eyebrows vigorously: "Okay." ”

Li Wanqing wanted to hold her hands in front of her chest as a longing: "Sister Zheng, I think that if I can see such a beautiful story with my own eyes in my lifetime, I will die without regrets!" Your story is so beautiful and shocking that I often think that even if I die for you, it will be worth it! ”

Zheng Xian'er was expressionless and hugged her stomach with both hands.

- Baby, stay honest and don't move, there's nothing to be afraid of a madman, my mother is taking you to practice your courage!

Li Wanqing leaned forward and looked at Zheng Xian'er with burning eyes: "You are in trouble now, right?" I can help you! ”

Zheng Xian'er was confused by her, and said blankly: "We, there is no difficulty." ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, I already knew!" Li Wanqing waved her hand, with an expression of "you are lying to the ghost".

Xian'er knew that it didn't make sense, so she nodded kindly: "Maybe you're right." ”

Li Wanqing immediately regained her smile: "I'll just say it!" We are friends, what are you polite in front of me? Don't worry, this matter is on me! ”

Zheng Xian'er looked at her blankly for a long time, and finally timidly expressed her doubts: "I want to take the liberty of asking, what are you talking about?" Why is it 'wrapped around you'? ”

Li Wanqing looked as a matter of course: "It's your marriage!" Don't worry, I've already figured it out for you! ”

"What's the solution?" Zheng Xian'er had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, Li Wanqing stood up and said righteously: "I can marry Lou Gongzi!" I'll marry him, and then arrange for him to marry you into the door, so that others won't be able to stop him!" Don't worry, I won't compete with you for favor! If you don't want to share your husband with others, he can be yours alone! ”

Zheng Xian'er was stunned.

Is there such a logic in the world?

- Baby, we really met a madman today, and we don't dare to run if we want to, what should we do?

Li Wanqing turned around and held Zheng Xian'er's shoulder: "You don't have to be too moved......

"I really don't dare to move." Zheng Xian'er said honestly.

Li Wanqing continued: "This is my own decision, and I really want to help you. At this time, my mother should have told Mrs. Lou about this matter, our two families are world friends, and my brother and Mr. Lou are friends, so it will definitely be done! ”

Zheng Xian'er raised her head and looked at the sky speechlessly.

She is not afraid that things will be done, after all, Mrs. Lou has just touched a gray nose, and she should not easily agree to any marriage for Lou Que at this time.

It's just that this sincere, kind and righteous chivalrous woman in front of her, how to get rid of it?

God, can you take this chivalrous woman back? You can have a few more Ning Jinxiu!

Li Wanqing's face was full of pride after doing something perfect: "Sister Zheng, we've been out for a long time, I'll help you go back!" ”

“…… Good. Zheng Xian'er felt a little loveless.

So the two of them began to walk back the way they came.

Later, I got lost.

I don't know what's going on, when I came, there were maids and women coming in and out of the garden, but there was no one in sight at the moment.

The two had no choice but to rely on memory and guessing to move around.

Later, the way out was naturally found, but it took a lot of effort, and when I returned to Ning Xuantang, it was already dark.

Outside Ning Xuan Hall, there was also a palpitating silence.

What about people?

There are always more than 100 people in the huge Lou family, the girl's mother-in-law and the small house, and the Waihua Hall and Ning Xuan Hall each set up a feast.

What the hell!

Li Wanqing was obviously frightened. She had also experienced the scourge of raiding her home, and the silence of the courtyard was inevitably reminiscent of some terrible experiences, so the faces of both of them were difficult to look at.

It's also a shame that Miss Li San has a bit of chivalry in her heart. Even though her legs were shaking with fright at this time, she didn't fall down, and she could even comfort Zheng Xian'er dryly.

But Zheng Xian'er is not afraid. She had seen even the most terrifying scenes, and although things were not right at this moment, she was only surprised at best.

So, for the rest of the short distance, Zheng Xian'er supported Li Wanqing and walked over slowly.

When she walked to the door of Ning Xuan Hall, Li Wanqing closed her eyes in fright, and her hands tightly grabbed Zheng Xian'er's sleeves: "Sister Zheng, Sister Zheng, they ...... Are they still there? ”

"Yes." Zheng Xian'er looked at the people kneeling in the hall, looked at the woman in brocade clothes sitting in front of her, and said calmly.

Everyone was there, but they all knelt on the ground, silent.

This is a distinguished guest.

Li Wanqing plucked up the courage to open her eyes and looked at the only woman sitting in the hall, her eyes straightened with fright: "Is that a bodhisattva?" No, phoenix robe...... That's the Queen's Mother! ”

At this time, a little girl kneeling at the door was also pulling the corner of Zheng Xian'er's skirt and whispered: "It's the queen's mother, kneel down!" ”

Zheng Xian'er was still hesitating, but the queen had already stood up in a gaffe: "Anping! ”

"What?" Zheng Xian'er looked around suspiciously.

The queen's eyes seemed to be looking at the door, but there was no one else standing here except herself and Li Wanqing.

What does "Anping" mean? A royal exorcism spell?

Mrs. Lou looked up and saw that Zheng Xian'er was still standing, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Zheng, the queen has been waiting for you for a long time, don't kneel down quickly!" ”

Zheng Xian'er didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly knelt down slowly holding her stomach: "I don't know that the queen is coming, please forgive me." ”

The queen looked at her for a long time, and then sat back slowly, and did not speak again.

Mrs. Lou raised her head tremblingly: "Niangniang, the Zheng family was accompanying the guests in the back garden before, and it must have been because they failed to hear the communication, so they lost their ...... to welcome them."

"It's okay, let's all get up." The queen opened her mouth gently.

When Zheng Xian'er got up and looked up, she found that her expression had returned to calm, and her face was the noble grace that a queen of a country should have.

The queen looked at Zheng Xian'er and beckoned: "You, is the Zheng family?" ”

Zheng Xian'er hesitated and took two steps forward, bowing her head to "yes".

The queen still looked at her, her eyes deep, and she didn't know what emotions were hidden.

Zheng Xian'er was a little nervous, and subconsciously protected her stomach with her hands.

The queen suddenly smiled: "Don't be afraid. This palace just wants to see you, but who knows that it is unfortunate that you are not here. ”

Zheng Xian'er hesitated for a moment, so she had to kneel down again: "Queen Lao's mother has been waiting for a long time, it is the sin of the people's daughter." ”

The queen laughed lowly: "You know the rules, unlike ordinary women in the market, who are often so frightened that they can't even say anything when they see this palace." - Excuse me. ”

Zheng Xian'er stood up and didn't dare to speak more.

She thought that this queen was a little strange, maybe she was looking for trouble.

Sure enough, before she could stand firmly, the queen suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Who is Yu Qingying you?!" ”

"Huh?!" Zheng Xian'er was stunned.

Who is Yu Qingying? Who is Yu Qingying?

"You don't know?" The queen looked at her coldly.

Zheng Xian'er shook her head: "I don't know!" ”

Mrs. Lou was so frightened that she sweated and tried her best to wink.

Zheng Xian'er had to say it again: "Back to the queen's mother, the folk girl doesn't know Yu Qingying." ”

"What's your last name? What does my maiden family do? Who else is in the house? The queen asked again.

Zheng Xian'er felt inexplicable, but she still answered truthfully: "The maiden's surname is Zheng, her father is a carpenter, and there is an adopted younger brother at home. ”

The queen hurriedly asked, "What about Anping?" Is Anping no longer alive? ”

Zheng Xian'er was stunned for a long time, with a blank expression: "Niangniang, the folk girl doesn't know Anping." ”

"Don't recognize?" The queen looked at her fixedly, and her expression was also dazed.

Zheng Xian'er couldn't understand what this most noble woman in the world was thinking, so she had to lower her head and act honestly and obediently, silent.

The hall was quiet for a while, and the queen finally sighed, and stretched out her hand to pull Zheng Xian'er to her side: "Sit down, let the palace take a look at you." ”

This sounded very friendly sentence, but Zheng Xian'er shuddered from it.

This queen mother, something is wrong!

Zheng Xian'er sat down worriedly.

The queen stroked her face, looked at it for a long time, and then asked, "What about your mother?" What kind of person is she? ”

Zheng Xian'er shook her head: "Mother is an ordinary market woman, and she is no longer alive. ”

The queen immediately asked, "I heard that you know how to embroider, did your mother teach you?" ”

Zheng Xian'er wanted to say "yes", but when the words came to her lips, she somehow turned around again, and replaced it with a lie that had no confidence: "The needlework of the folk girl was taught by her mother, but the embroidery was learned from an embroidery girl on the street." The girl's family is poor, her father has bad gambling habits, the family often has no food and clothing, and the mother is still difficult to manage the housework, I am afraid that she has never used such ingenuity as embroidery. ”

"Really?" The queen smiled inexplicably, "I only asked one question, but you answered so much." ”

Zheng Xian'er lowered her head and apologized honestly: "The folk girl is noisy." ”

Seeing this, the queen smiled again: "It's not bad, it's a clever talker." If you can get a character like you in the market, Sangyu County is a beautiful place. ”

This sentence seemed to be a compliment, although the taste was a little wrong, Zheng Xian'er still pretended to be happy and thanked her.

The queen clapped her hands and stood up: "This palace is very close to you. In the future, if you have leisure, you can often come to the palace to talk to the palace. ”

Zheng Xian'er knew that this sentence was purely polite, but she still happily agreed.

The queen glanced at her stomach again: "It's been six months, right?" ”

Zheng Xian'er hesitated and said, "A little more than five months." ”

The queen smiled slightly, took off a bracelet from her wrist, grabbed Zheng Xian'er's hand and put it on for her: "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and the blessings are behind!" ”
