At the Dingding Gate in Luoyang, an ox cart slowly drove into the long dim doorway. As the ox cart entered the blue sky and white sun again, a maid in the cart screamed with joy.

"Lady, I've entered Luoyang City."

Needless to say, Wang Rong returned to Luoyang City, where he had been absent for nearly three years, and his mood was also indescribably agitated. She and Du Shiyi really discussed it, and after she came back, she immediately talked about marriage, and she also thought about inviting Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian to be big matchmakers, but she never thought that there would be a more suitable person to come to Dongdu

Shangqing Sect Master Sima Chengzhen was summoned into the capital again, this was already an unexpected situation, and this Daomen Sect Master of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone actually said that he wanted to make up for the many years of marriage that had delayed Du Shiyi's life When the two nobles ordered Huo Qing to go to Wangwu Mountain, picked her up and went there quietly to cover her up and returned to Luoyang, and told such a news, she was simply grateful.

"Lady, when I saw Sect Master Sima in the past, I only thought that he was immortal and respectful, and I didn't dare to approach, but now I know that Sect Master Sima is such a kind person."

"Hmm."

Wang Rong absentmindedly replied a word, and when she got off in front of the Jinglong female Taoist temple, she walked all the way into the familiar Taoist temple, and when she saw the two golden branches and jade leaves accompanying an elderly Taoist, she recognized the person at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Master, Guanzhu, the disciple is back...... I've seen Sect Master Sima. ”

Princess Jin Xian hurriedly helped Wang Rong up, and when she saw that her beloved disciple had been away from Beijing for three years, she was becoming more and more delicate, she couldn't help but be surprised, and pulled people to ask questions. Princess Yuzhen's question was more direct, and she asked with interest: "Du Jiulang has always been a gentleman of Yanashita Huizhen when he was in Beijing, and he can still hold on to it after abducting you for so long this time?" ”

When she asked, Wang Rong suddenly felt a little unbearable, and the people who are usually cool and generous are also a little hesitant at this time. And seeing her react like this, Princess Yuzhen still didn't understand in her heart?

"After all, I still can't help it, he's really revealing his true nature, but you, shouldn't be so easy to cheapen him, when something happens, it's the woman who suffers."

"Yuanyuan, don't talk about Yuyao, how can you bear it yourself?" Princess Jinxian couldn't help but tease, seeing that Princess Yuzhen was stunned, she couldn't help but secretly regret her words, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Wang Rong to Sima Chengzhen, because she said with a smile, "It's not the first time that Sect Master Sima has seen Yuyao, my disciple's appearance, temperament and character are all the best choices, and he is worthy of Du Jiulang, and the most important thing is that they are happy." Since the sect master took over the marriage in front of the emperor, please make sure to fulfill the two of them. ”

"Oh, did I say that?" Sima Chengzhen looked at Wang Rong, whose cheeks were slightly red, with a smile, and saw that when she heard her words, she silently curtched deeply, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, okay, joking with you." I and Songshan Lu Gong are also old friends for many years, Du Jiulang is still the proud disciple I recommended to him at the beginning, and later I was soft and hard by Lu Wangzhi, and I rounded such a lie, and now I am naturally a good person to do it to the end and help to the end. Concubine Hui seems to be very interested in Du Jiulang's marriage, and she invited me and the two nobles to play in Taoguang Garden tomorrow, and there seem to be some others, you can accompany your master. ”

"Is the sect master saying that Concubine Hui actually cares about Du Lang's marriage?" Wang Rong suddenly woke up, and then looked at the two princesses of Yuzhen and Jinxian again. Sure enough, under her gaze, Princess Jinxian sighed silently, but Princess Yuzhen sneered, "Concubine Hui wants what she wants now, and the only regret is probably only two things." One is not allowed to be sealed, and the other is that there are already people in the storage position. King Shou had been in the palace and raised under her knees after being crowned king the year before, and now she was still young, and she was already choosing a powerful person who might be able to arm her arm in the future, and of course your Na Du Lang was within her sight. ”

Wang Rong remembered Du Shiyi's wish, and only felt that the joy of returning to Luoyang disappeared all of a sudden. However, thinking that there was another test tomorrow, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and said categorically: "If there is any arrangement tomorrow, although Sect Master Sima and Venerable Master and Guan Master have made it clear, I will definitely do my best." ”

Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian had no interest in getting involved in those concubine disputes, and the estrangement and indifference to Queen Wang back then was also because she couldn't be a man, and Wang Shouyi was too arrogant, and now Concubine Wu Hui made it clear that she coveted the queen and the East Palace, and the two couldn't wait to stay away.

As for outsiders like Sima Chengzhen, he didn't want the proud disciples of his best friends to fall into the palace struggle and couldn't extricate himself, so he nodded happily and said: "Okay, how to play this play, let's sum it up." Lao Dao is not blindly holding the fairy wind Dao bones to eat, you will be waiting outside at that time, Lao Dao and you, the master, plus the Jade True Lord, will naturally help you. ”

As Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian said, after finding out what happened to Du Shiyi in Shangqing Guan, Concubine Wu Hui had some plans in her heart. can enter the palace with the Wu daughter who is hated by the ministers, and then Jieyu and Concubine Hui, and she will almost be able to enter the East Palace again, she is naturally a far-sighted person. It hasn't been long since Shouwang Li Qing received her from King Ning's side, but the relationship between mother and son has been deliberately cultivated by her, and she is also secretly looking for people who can support Li Qing in the future, first of all, young and promising.

Being young means that he will not be able to become a high-ranking official for a while, and he will not make Li Longji, who is also in the prime of life, feel jealous, and the promising future means that this person can enter the high-ranking official sequence of the imperial court after ten or twenty years, and he will be able to use ⊥ son at that time. After all, Yu Wenrong's denunciation of Weizhou gave her a signal, so even Li Linfu, who is now prosperous, she didn't send anyone to contact her rashly. What happened to Jiang Jiao at the beginning gave her a clear warning.

Therefore, Du Shiyi naturally entered her sight.

On this day, Taoguangyuan set up a banquet, she intended to envelop Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, who were trusted in front of the Son of Heaven, and did everything possible to invite Sima Chengzhen to attend with the treasured Taoist classics, and was worried that it was not convenient for women, so she used her son Li Qing as an excuse to invite King Ning and Princess Ning Yuan to Taoguang Garden. In addition, there were no outsiders in attendance, and even the other palace concubines, Concubine Wu Hui, were not invited.

She is no longer a concubine who was pressed on top of her head by the queen back then, so she needs to be generous everywhere, the harem etiquette should be treated like a queen, even if she has no name, she no longer has to be on an equal footing with those concubines, not to mention, she clearly knows that playing petty with Li Longji and showing appropriate jealousy will make the king more happy. Of course, a bottomless jealousy like Queen Wang is absolutely unacceptable.

The weather is already very hot these days, but the Huaguang Courtyard near the water in Taoguang Garden still maintains a comfortable cool water through waterwheels and all kinds of intricate sprinklers. Respecting Buddhism is the tradition of the two high-ranking officials and dignitaries, even if the Daomen is declining now, but Sima Chengzhen, a master of the Daomen at the level of a generation of grandmasters, the Son of Heaven still wants to call him a Daoist brother, so naturally even King Ning does not dare to be disrespectful. Seeing such a person present, thinking of the gossip that has been spreading recently, Princess Ning Yuan couldn't help but bow slightly to the heir of Princess Han Du on the side.

Han Wang Yuanjia was removed from the knight due to rebellion during the Wuhou years, and now the heir of Han King Li Ne is the fifth son of King Han, and Shenlong Chu was crowned the heir of King Han, and he is actually the highest elder in the clan. Li Ne is now two out of fifty, and Li Longji is two generations lower than him today. Princess Du is the youngest daughter of Du Siwen, and Li Ne married him as a princess after he was crowned king, and now she is only in her early forties, and Princess Ning's age is as if she is old. Because of her high seniority, she has been influenced by Du Siwen since she was a child, and she doesn't like to be the first, let alone be in the limelight, and rarely attends such occasions. Therefore, she couldn't help but be a little unaccustomed to the excessive respect for Yuan's family.

"Princess Ning, this is ......"

Seeing that the Du clan did not regard himself as an elder, the Yuan clan asked in a low voice, "Uncle and grandmother, what news do you know about today's garden party?" ”

There is a difference between men and women, and she is a clan woman, and the Du family has never seen Du Shiyi a few times, but her father's orders have never been discounted. Since when she entered the palace with the two princesses of Yuzhen and Jinxian before, it had already been hinted that she was pretending to be deaf and dumb, at this moment, she smiled apologetically: "Let Princess Ning see you laugh, I have always been lonely and unheard." ”

Yuan thought about the impression Du gave people, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. At this moment, she saw Concubine Wu Hui holding Li Qing in one hand, and she immediately left all other thoughts behind. Although he is someone else's son, Li Qing has grown up under her knees since he was a child, and even the feeding is handled by her personally, and she has never handed it over to others, so in terms of speaking, she is closer than her own son. However, now that Li Qing has been raised in the palace again, as Princess Ning, she can only follow him cautiously with her attentive eyes, and when she found that Li Qing was also quietly looking at her, there was a trace of indescribable joy in her heart.

Li Qing finally held back the same voice as before, until he sat down in the middle with Concubine Wu Hui, and heard Concubine Wu Hui smile and signal him to go and say hello to Princess Li Xianning, the king of Ning, and he immediately walked quickly to the two of them, but the only names that could be exported were uncle and aunt. Rao is like this, Li Xian and Yuan's are still overjoyed, even if both of them are people with both children, but for such a nephew who was afraid of a mistake and kept him in front of him, the two naturally really loved it, and Yuan's even couldn't help but hold the little Li Qing in his arms and kissed him for a while.

The son was so close to Li Xian and the Yuan family, but Concubine Wu Hui's face did not move, and even let Li Qing stay at the table of King Ning and his wife, and after he served the wine to the waiter, he personally left the table to hold the pot and poured a full cup for Sima Chengzhen. After a drink, Concubine Wu Hui smiled and invited everyone to visit the garden, but secretly asked Mrs. Yang of Chu to stumble Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, Li Qing stumbled King Ning and his wife, and saw that Princess Du of Han stayed in Huaguang Courtyard on the grounds of dizziness, so she naturally stayed behind with Sima Chengzhen.

"Sect Master Sima said before that he wanted to find a suitable girl for Du Jiulang, but I don't know if I can find it
