readx; In the study, Dugu Haoran seemed a little worried, he had just come back from Xingqing Palace, and after he came back, he locked himself in the study and saw no one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A very strange thing happened today, after Li Longji comforted him for a while, he actually praised his eldest daughter Mingyue for her unparalleled beauty, and an old man praised another man's adult daughter for being beautiful, which is more or less ambiguous, and he is the current emperor, he praises a woman for being beautiful, what does this mean?

Li Longji just said this inexplicably, so he didn't mention anything, not even mentioning that Li Qingan wanted to become his son-in-law, Dugu Haoran was mixed in the officialdom, of course, he had to figure out what he wanted, he had already vaguely understood what Li Longji meant, and Li Longji fell in love with his daughter.

But his daughter was going to marry Li Qing'an, and of course Li Longji would not offend Li Qing'an, so he threw this tricky matter to him, asked him to offend Li Qing'an, and let his Dugu family regret this marriage.

What are the consequences of regretting this marriage, Dugu Haoran is also very clear, not only Li Qing'an will be inseparable from him, but he will also offend the Yang family, and the Dugu family may also bear hundreds of years of infamy.

But the benefits are also clearly visible, Li Longji promoted him to Sinong Siqing, isn't there a factor of his daughter? If his daughter enters the palace as a concubine and is favored, then the Dugu family must also be another Yang family, and he will be promoted to Xiangguo if he is lonely.

The price of repentance is too great, but the future is so tempting, so that Dugu Haoran really can't make up his mind, of course, Li Longji didn't say anything, he can also pretend not to understand, so that this matter will be over, but Dugu Haoran is moved.

Dugu Haoran came to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at his daughter's embroidery building in the distance, although the Dugu family belongs to the royal family, but the kinship is too far away, a hundred years ago, the queen of Gaozu was Dugu's family, gave birth to Taizong, Dugu is Li's maternal uncle's family.

But this kinship, except that his eldest daughter was sent as a princess to die a tragic death, did not get any benefits, and he was also a minister for a short time, and was soon ruthlessly deposed.

If it goes on like this, he Dugu Haoran will no longer have any way out, but at this time, he suddenly has the hope of becoming the ruler of the country, can he not be moved?

At this moment, the door creaked open, and Mrs. Pei walked in.

"Master, I heard that you are looking for me urgently?"

"It's okay, I'd like to ask how you're preparing?" Dugu Haoran smiled reluctantly.

"It's all ready, the third brother's family has arrived, master, you should go out too!"

"Oh!" Dugu Haoran sighed, but he didn't mean to move.

Mrs. Pei glanced at him, in fact, she had already found that something was wrong with her husband after he came back from the palace, no one saw him when he closed the door, and he was busy with the wine banquet before going to the palace, but when he came back, he ignored it, decades of husband and wife, didn't she know her husband? Something must have happened.

"Tell me, sir, what's going on? Did you take up the position of Si Nong Siqing and have something wrong? ”

"Not really, it's just ....."

Dugu Hao said in a hurry, "It's just that the saint asked about our family's bright moon." ”

"What!"

Mrs. Pei's face changed greatly, what she was most afraid of finally happened, Li Longji really refused to let go of her daughter, she took a step back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, you won't promise anything, right?" ”

Dugu Haoran saw that his wife's face changed, and he suddenly understood that his wife had already known that something must have happened during his absence in Chang'an.

"Ma'am, is this true?"

Dugu Haoran actually has a worry, if Li Longji didn't mean that at all, and he misunderstood and made a mistake, the consequences would be just as serious, and now his wife behaved like this, it means that he didn't mean to be wrong, it was a thing.

"Master, Mingyue's wedding date has been set, you won't have any extraneous branches now!"

"Actually, it's not settled, haven't you told Li Qing'an yet?"

"Absolutely not!" Mrs. Pei categorically denied her husband's thoughts, she stared at Dugu Haoran's eyes, and said indignantly: "Master, there is only one result of your doing this, you will force Mingyue to death, have you forgotten?" Your daughter has already died once, do you want her to die a second time? ”

"Madame!"

Dugu Haoran stretched his voice with some displeasure and said: "The saint didn't say that he wanted our family's daughter, and I didn't say that I wanted my daughter to enter the palace, I just discussed with you, what are you so excited about?" Is it just you who think about your daughter, and I don't think about her? ”

Thinking that her husband was the head of the family after all, Mrs. Pei restrained her anger and said in a soothing tone: "Master, there are some things we can say in private, the saint is so old after all, he can live for a few years, even if Mingyue has no people, if she enters the palace, it will only be a few years, and the saint will go up, what will Mingyue's fate be, don't think about it!" Look at the thousands of old concubines in Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, the saint is still there! They are no different from the living dead, Mingyue enters the palace, there will be no children and no daughters in the future, and we will be guilty of her tragic fate for a lifetime! Master, listen to me, since the saint didn't say it explicitly, then we shouldn't understand, and hurry up to handle Mingyue's marriage, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

"Madam, in fact, I think Mingyue is not as terrible as you said, the Yang family is so favored, which family in Chang'an does not hope that they can give birth to a daughter, I dare to say that when the moon enters the palace, she will never be less favored than the concubine, at that time, Mingyue is noble and honorable, under one person, above ten thousand people, she may not be grateful to us, our Dugu family can also touch her glory, this is a good thing!"

"Master, how can you be so shameless!"

Mrs. Pei never expected that her husband would be such a shameless person, for the sake of his own glory and wealth, he would sacrifice the happiness of his daughter's life, and she didn't even care if her daughter would go to a dead end because of this, she was extremely disappointed in her heart, needless to say that she also knew that her husband had actually made up his mind, but as long as he still had a breath of air, he would not succeed!

At this time, the maid's voice sounded at the door, "Master, madam, the guests have arrived one after another." ”

Mrs. Pei endured a sigh of relief and said, "Master, the clansmen have arrived, do you want to go?" ”

"What am I going to do, to announce my daughter's marriage? Hum! ”

Dugu Haoran snorted heavily, looked out the window with his negative hands, his face was gloomy as water, and Mrs. Pei didn't say anything more, turned around and went out.

"A woman's opinion!"

The moment the door closed, Dugu Haoran's dissatisfied voice came from the room.

．．．．．．．．． From the afternoon, Dugu Mingyue began to put on makeup, the aristocratic women of the Tang Dynasty have simple makeup and complex makeup, usually go out at home are simple makeup, half an hour will be over, but in the event of a major celebration or important banquet, it is necessary to put on complicated makeup, from face makeup, to comb hair, dressing, at least two to three hours, every step is meticulous.

Tonight's family banquet, Mingyue will be the protagonist, and Li Qingan is also coming, Mingyue of course has to face her lover with the most beautiful posture, Mingyue sat in front of the grape mirror given to her by Li Qingan, carefully looking at her face, she was beaming with joy today, and her mood was extraordinarily comfortable.

She combed her bun today, fixed her hair with a green feather hairpin, and embellished Cuisheng, Jin Tian and other things on her head and face as decorations, and she spent nearly an hour just combing this hairstyle, and the peach blossom makeup on her face was also done, smeared with white powder, painted rouge, painted eyebrows, pasted flowers on her forehead, dotted the corners of her lips, painted oblique red on her temples, and painted lip grease, and her makeup was very exquisite.

She also checked all kinds of jewelry, rings, bracelets, armbands, jade pendants, sachets and other essential ornaments, and the dress was also changed, she wore a slush silver Luo long skirt, wore a green small sleeved short undergarment, draped red silk on her shoulders, wrapped her arms around her light face, and wore a full and round pearl necklace on her chest, with her snow-white skin, she looked even more beautiful and shining.

"Mingzhu, do you think that's okay?" Mingyue turned around and asked her sister with a smile.

Mingzhu has been accompanying her sister, she can't bear the long time of her sister's makeup, she has already slept for a while, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked up and down, and suddenly frowned: "Sister, your chest is exposed too much, Brother Li doesn't like it." ”

Mingyue's body is relatively plump, her chest is like a full moon, towering and full, the upper placket of the slush silver skirt is a light gauze, which can't cover her front chest, Mingyue looked sideways at the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, it was indeed too exposed, a little indecent, she couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Forget it, let's wear a wide skirt!" ”

The last time she saw Li Qing'an, she was wearing a six-width skirt, she wanted to give Li Qing'an a new feeling, so she changed to a slush silver skirt, but the biggest feature of the slush silver skirt is that the light gauze is thin and transparent, and it doesn't hurt in the inner house, but there are many brothers in her clan at the family banquet, but you should pay attention to it, Mingyue thought about it, and then changed to a yellow six-width skirt, she has never worn a yellow skirt, Li Qingan should not have seen it.

"Mingzhu, aren't you going to change your clothes?" Mingyue asked as she straightened her dress.

"What am I going to do when I change my dress, it's not my engagement date, I'm dressed up ugly, doesn't it make you look more beautiful?" Mingzhu is a little lazy and authentic.

"You girl, why do you always talk like this, it's because you don't want to get married, to be honest, how many times have you been on a blind date, and which time have you been serious?"

"That's because I haven't met a man like Brother Li, if I do, you see if I'm in a hurry!"

"That's it! Later, I will tell you Brother Li and ask him to find you a young general. ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it later!"

Mingzhu jumped up from her sister's bed, "Let's go!" ”

"Wait a minute, my mother will send someone to call us later."

As soon as Mingyue's voice fell, a maid at the door said, "Miss Mingyue, Madame invites you over." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Mingyue finally checked her makeup and smiled at Mingzhu: "Let's go!" ”

The sisters walked out of the room and headed for the hall.

．．．．．．．． The banquet of the lonely family is arranged in the front hall, this is the most spacious hall of the Dugu family, which can accommodate five hundred people to dine at the same time, the hall has been very lively, today is the gathering of the clansmen of the Dugu family, all the relatives who came from near and far, Dugu Haoran's uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters and nephews and nieces are here, as well as their family children, the whole family gathers together, there are more than 200 people, in addition, there are many people in the field who have not returned, for example, Dugu Haoran's son, that is, Mingyue's brother is in the field as a county official, Can't come back.

Since it was a family gathering, many children also brought it, and the lobby was full of children running and chasing, laughing and laughing.

Dugu Haoran's third uncle Dugu looked around from afar, but didn't see Dugu Haoran, so he stepped forward and asked Mrs. Pei: "Madam, why can't my Haoran nephew be seen?" ”

Mrs. Pei sighed secretly and said with a reluctant smile: "He is not in good health, he is a little sick, and he may come out later." ”

"I thought my nephew had become Sinong Siqing and started to put up a fight, hehe!"

"Sister-in-law, I saw that he was fine in the afternoon, why did he suddenly get sick?" A cousin of Dugu Haoran asked.

"This.... I don't know, I went to him just now, and he said that he was very uncomfortable, so let's sit at will! It's all your own family, so you're welcome. ”

Everyone took their seats, and the maids on the Dugu Mansion brought out a pot of wine and food, and at this time, someone outside shouted: "Ting Guogong, Anxi Jiedu has made General Li arrive!" ”

Today's protagonist came, Mrs. Pei hurriedly greeted him, Li Qing'an walked in quickly, he changed into a new robe, and the gift he brought had been given to the housekeeper, seeing Mrs. Pei coming up, he hurriedly gave a deep salute and said: "Li Qing'an see Mrs.!" ”

Mrs. Pei looked at Li Qing'an, and saw that he was tall and heroic, and his instrument was extraordinary, she had been busy giving Mingzhu a blind date in the past few months, I don't know how many young men she had seen, where could they compare to Li Qing'an's star and a half, Mrs. Pei liked Li Qing'an very much in her heart, she couldn't help but hate her husband, such a good son-in-law didn't want it, but he wanted to send his daughter into the palace, he was really greedy for profit, and he was dizzy.

"Shichiro, I'm waiting for you, come in and sit!"

Mrs. Pei took Li Qing'an into the lobby, and there was a buzzing sound in the lobby, in the past two years, although Li Qing'an disappeared in Chang'an, but once he appeared, it must be an earth-shattering event, how long has he been in Chang'an, it has caused a storm, especially when he fought Yang Guozhong in Xingqing Palace, this matter has spread all over Chang'an, Yang Guozhong is such a popular person was actually beaten by him, and many people who dislike the Yang family shouted happily.

Not only that, but he was not yet thirty years old, and he became the envoy of the Anxi Festival, the prince of Tingguo, the champion general, with heavy troops in his hands, controlling the territory of thousands of miles, such a proud son of the Tang Dynasty, how could Mingyue get him as a husband? Many women in the hall participated in Li Qing'an's first blind date, at that time, because Li Qing'an said that he went to the toilet, which made them feel disgusted, but today, the women secretly hate that they have no eyes, and they knew that it would be good to give him their daughter at that time, and they said that they took a fancy to Li Qing'an at that time, but it was a pity that the Dugu master couldn't look down on it at that time, but it's a pity! Anyway, Dugu Shi is also dead, and there is no way to confront them.

Li Qing'an didn't see Dugu Haoran either, so he asked Mrs. Pei with a smile, "Why don't you see your uncle?" ”

"He's a little unwell, come back later, come! Shichiro, you're sitting here. ”

Mrs. Pei arranged for Li Qingan to sit on her right, a seat away from her, originally Li Qingan should have sat next to Dugu Haoran, but Mrs. Pei changed her mind, although Li Qingan sat next to her a little carelessly, but what happened just now made Mrs. Pei no longer care about these details of etiquette.

As soon as Li Qingan sat down, he heard the sound of Huanpei, Mingyue and Mingzhu sisters walked out, Li Qingan saw that Mingyue was very gorgeous, and he loved her very much, so he smiled and nodded to her, Mingyue's eyes flowed, and he looked at his lover affectionately, and a trace of red flew over his face.

"Ahem!" Mingzhu coughed lightly, reminding the two of them to pay attention to the impact, and in front of the public, don't be so affectionate.

Mingyue's beauty also caused an exclamation in the lobby, Mingyue has not met with the clansmen for many years, in the impression of the elders, Mingyue is still a quiet and thin little lady, I didn't expect her to be so dignified and beautiful, so that all the clansmen were surprised.

"Deserved! Well deserved! Many people nodded secretly, they are talented and beautiful, they are really a good match, and only Mingyue can be worthy of such a young and promising high-ranking official as Li Qingan.

"Mingyue, you sit here!"

Mrs. Pei pointed to the vacant seat beside her, this seat made everyone a little stunned, in this way, didn't Mingyue sit side by side with Li Qingan? Mingyue was also a little stunned, although she wanted to sit next to her lover for a long time, but this was not in line with etiquette, she shouldn't sit here! Mother is not mistaken.

"Mother!" She whispered a reminder to her mother.

Mrs. Pei shook her head resolutely and said, "Mingyue, this is your seat, you listen to your mother's words and sit down!" ”

Mingyue glanced at Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an smiled at her, and secretly waved her hand under the table, meaning to let her sit down, Mingyue's eyes flashed a trace of shyness, Ying Ying sat next to Li Qing'an, and shared a table with Li Qing'an.

"Mother, where am I sitting?" Mingzhu pouted and asked, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the vacant seat next to Li Qing'an, she thought it was reserved for herself, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but unexpectedly, her sister sat up, which disappointed her.

Mrs. Pei looked at both sides, she really forgot to arrange the seat of her youngest daughter, and wanted her to sit next to her, but it was her husband's seat, so it was inappropriate for her to sit, Mrs. Pei was about to let Mingzhu sit below, but Mingyue patted her side and smiled: "Mingzhu, sit here with my sister." ”

The seat is quite spacious, you can sit down, Mingzhu hesitated, the two of them sat together, didn't she sit as a candle? She secretly glanced at Li Qing'an, but Li Qing'an pointed to her side, meaning to let her sit with her.

"Think beautifully!" Mingzhu pouted, and then sat down beside her sister angrily, she didn't care so much!

Mrs. Pei was preoccupied, and she didn't have the heart to ask if her youngest daughter's position was reasonable, she saw that everyone was here except for her husband, so she picked up her wine glass and stood up and said: "Elders, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, it was Mingyue's father who came to preside over the banquet today, but he was unwell and may not be able to attend, so I can only preside over it. ”

Mingyue felt a little strange in her heart, when she came just now, she saw her father standing in front of the window and waving to her, isn't her father good? What's the discomfort?

"Your father may have encountered something when he entered the palace and was in a bad mood!"

Li Qing'an whispered in her ear, a strong manly breath came to her face, Mingyue suddenly felt that Li Qing'an quietly held her hand, their table was wide, covered with a tablecloth, and no one else could see the situation under the table, Mingyue's heart was pounding, and her heart was shy and sweet, of course she wanted to hold hands with her lover, but this is a big court, and it will be seen by others, she gently broke free of Li Qing'an's hand, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Li Qing'an, and said with a low smile: "I want to pour you wine, You took my hand, how can I pour it for you? ”

Li Qingan happily picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the pearl next to her could be seen clearly, she pursed her lips, and said secretly: "Flirting and scolding!" ’

Her heart was full of sour feelings, her hands were empty, why didn't Li Qingan come to hold her hand?

Mrs. Pei didn't notice this, she continued to say to everyone in a loud voice: "I invite everyone to come today, mainly to officially announce the marriage date of Mingyue and Li Gongzi, please testify!" ”

At this moment, a heavy cough suddenly came from behind her, and Dugu Haoran walked in.
