Chapter 180: Li Mu
"But Miss, this holy decree, I'm afraid that there are countless things in this palace, and I have to find you again," At this time, Ah Li thought of the emperor's holy decree today, and thought of the situation of her own young lady now, and she was really a little worried.
Lu Guanlan smiled and said nothing.
Chu Yu said: "It's just that the slave maid doesn't understand a little, could it be that the emperor also knows that Miss, your appearance has recovered, so he made this will?" ”
Lu Guanlan laughed when he heard this.
To say that this emperor's decree is indeed a little funny.
De Jong is good? Where is she virtuous, where is tolerance?
Then he said: "Our Emperor Your Majesty, I guess I also saw that piece of jade." ”
Chu Yu said: "In this way, the emperor's decree is to believe what the jade said? Saying that, Chu Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Then if you give a marriage to Miss, what should Miss do?" ”
When Lu Guanlan heard this, his brows were also furrowed.
If that's the case, then there's nothing she can do.
Then he said: "If you refuse, you will." ”
Chu Yu was a little surprised when he heard it, "That's the emperor's marriage, do you really dare to refuse?" ”
Lu Guanlan smiled, "So what?" ”
Speaking of which, she has even been a queen, so what is it to refuse to marry. Besides, in this life and this life, she doesn't want to enter the heavenly family again.
In the courtyard of Wen'anfang, Cheng Mo heard the emperor's decree to the Lu family, and entered the palace overnight.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Zhuhua Palace, I saw that the palace gate was closed.
called the internal official to ask, and learned that the concubine had rested, so he had to go home.
Chu Ling followed aside, and seeing that His Highness was worried, he said, "Now Your Majesty's will, maybe it is really to fulfill His Highness's wish." ”
Cheng Mo smiled bitterly.
"But the concubine won't answer."
"Why?" Chu Ling was also puzzled.
Concubine Xian Niangniang has always been wise and generous, and she is also extremely kind to His Royal Highness. But for some reason, for the sake of the eldest lady of the Lu family, Concubine Xian was extremely opposed.
Even she was a little puzzled.
Cheng Mo sighed when he heard this, "As long as my father and the emperor allow it, and my mother is here, I will beg on my knees, and I will beg for it." ”
Seeing that His Highness was so persistent, Chu Ling bowed his head, "Your Highness is sincere, and you will definitely achieve your wish." ”
"I hope—"
The virtuous concubine in Zhuhua Palace didn't actually sleep, but just sat in front of the window and looked at the empty courtyard.
"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness has gone back."
Concubine Xian turned her head, "Chu Yue, do you say Mo'er can he understand?" ”
Chu Yue is the eldest palace maid beside Concubine Xian, and she has been accompanying Concubine Xian into the palace until now, looking at Concubine Xian, who is so friendly before and after, but only in the matter of the Second Highness, she is as persistent as the Second Highness.
"The slave maid just doesn't quite understand why Niangniang is so opposed, come to think of it, the Second Highness is also sincere this time," Chu Yue said.
Concubine Xian sighed faintly, "How did I not know that he was sincere, but that Lu Guanlan was also a person that Li was happy with." In the end, there are many rights and wrongs in this palace, and it is good if you can marry Li Duan and live a stable life outside the palace. ”
Chu Yue knew what her mother was thinking, so she persuaded: "Niangniang, forgive the slave and maid for saying something that should not be said, the deceased is gone, and the mother should not be worried until now." ”
When Concubine Xian heard this, her eyes flashed, and suddenly a mist appeared.
The deceased? But in her heart, that person never died.
At this time, a report from the internal officials suddenly came from outside, saying that the emperor was coming.
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to greet her.
I saw the emperor angrily getting down from the ceremonial car outside the palace gate, and when he saw the virtuous concubine, he just waved his hand and signaled to go in.
Concubine Xian stepped forward and followed behind the emperor, and asked softly: "Didn't Your Majesty go to Yunxi Palace tonight, why is it so late, and you still come to the concubine." ”
The emperor turned around and glanced at Concubine Xian suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Didn't Concubine Xian not want me to come? ”
Concubine Xian smiled, "How could it be." ”
The emperor was silent, entered the dormitory, and did not stop immediately, but sat on the soft collapse and looked at Concubine Xian, "I have something to ask you." ”
Concubine Xian's face was gentle, and she sat down beside the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty said." ”
The emperor's brows furrowed, "All these years, you are still like this?" ”
Concubine Xian's face did not change, "Your Majesty came here tonight, just to ask the concubine this?" ”
The emperor paused, "Do you think, if Lu Guanlan is promised to Mo'er, it will be good?" ”
"No," Concubine Xian's tone was still so gentle, but her eyes suddenly became sharp.
The emperor was also stunned. Over the years, the virtuous concubine he has seen has always been calm and kind, and she has never been so tough, let alone so fierce in front of him.
Seeing the surprise in the emperor's eyes, Concubine Xian said: "Mo'er is still young, and the matter of marriage should be considered later, and His Majesty also said that Mo'er should be diligent in government affairs, and this child's private relationship should not be contaminated early." ”
The emperor's eyes were strange, "But Mo'er is not small, if it weren't for the fact that I have been a little busy over the years, I would have decided for them to be the princess and concubine a long time ago." ”
"Your Majesty is kind, Mo'er should be grateful, but the concubine feels that the eldest lady of the Lu family is not suitable for Mo'er."
"What do you mean by that?" The emperor raised an eyebrow and asked.
Concubine Xian bowed, "Although Mo'er looks modest, she is actually a stubborn temper, and Her Majesty the eldest lady of the Lu family has also seen it, and I know that Lu Guanlan is also a resolute and resolute character." If the two of them are forced together, they will have to stumble. Come to think of it, Your Majesty doesn't want Mo'er to be restless in the house. ”
The Emperor nodded.
Concubine Xian's words, he also thought about it.
When Cheng Mo first asked to marry Lu Guanlan in front of him, he felt that this Lu Guanlan had a bad appearance and was not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family.
In addition, this Lu Guanlan City Mansion is quite scheming, if he enters this heavenly family, Mo'er may be in danger of being interfered with by his relatives in the future.
But he also saw the jade with Lu Guanlan as the phoenix's life, and it was true.
There are also rumors about this matter, and Lu Guanlan is even more divine, and even more so, he bluntly said that Lu Guanlan wins the world.
If such a woman can't be kept, she can only be killed.
But if he is killed, Lu Bingyan is his confidant, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only Lu Bingyan has never listened to his holy orders, and he can no longer find someone who is so loyal and not feared by him.
Killing Lu Bingyan's daughter, doesn't that mean abandoning Lu Bingyan? Naturally, this must not be done.
But if he kept it and left it to Mo'er, it was what he was thinking about before.
Not to mention leaving it to the Li Guogong Mansion, which he was already afraid of.
After thinking about it, this marriage was even more of a headache for him than the political affairs of the previous dynasty.
Ben went to Yunxi Palace tonight, and wanted to find Yun Concubine to relieve his mood, who knows, this Yun Concubine actually told Lu Guanlan in front of him, and even said that Cheng Ye was also interested in Lu Guanlan, and begged him to agree.
This made him even more upset, and he wished that there would be a few more Lu Guanlan in the world, so that his sons could be separated.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Concubine Xian said: "Come to think of it, Your Majesty naturally has your own considerations, and the concubine is just standing in the position of being a mother and talking to Your Majesty, as for how to decide, it is still up to Your Majesty." ”
When the emperor heard this, he sighed and waved his hand, "That's it, let's discuss it another day, and let me rest here for a while today." ”
At night, Concubine Xian looked at the emperor who was sleeping comfortably beside her, but her heart seemed to be blocked by something.
Then he got up and went to the outer hall with the lamp.
Chu Yue, who was on duty at night, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the lamp in Concubine Xian's hand, and said softly with a sad face: "Niangniang is insomnia again." ”
Concubine Xian smiled, "Would you like to go with me?" ”
Chu Yue nodded, and accompanied Concubine Xian out of Zhuhua Palace.
Walking on the long road outside the palace gate, Concubine Xian raised her eyes to look at the night sky. Seeing the bright moon in the sky, I couldn't help but smile.
"It won't be long before it's reunion night," Concubine Xian asked with a smile.
Chu Yue bowed, "Yes, at that time, as in previous years, a family banquet will be held in the queen's palace." ”
"Family dinner?" Concubine Xian smiled bitterly.
Can you call it home?
Looking at the silent and uninhabited Long Road, looking at the empty surroundings, for some reason, she remembered the first time she entered the palace, the scene in front of her seemed to be vivid.
"At that time, I thought I should marry him," Concubine Xian said suddenly, in a slow tone, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with her.
Concubine Xian entered the palace for the first time at the age of fifteen, and that time she entered the palace, she just followed behind a person.
This person is Li Mu, the eldest son of Li Guogong.
At that time, Li Mu was young and heroic, and was admired by many women in Beijing, and she was no exception.
At that time, her Qi family had been friends with the Li family for generations, and she and Li Mu were also childhood sweethearts.
Whenever there is a banquet at home, Li Guogong's family will be invited to come. And at that time, she was most happy to see Li Mu.
Li Mu also treated her very well, gave her love and care like a brother, and often taught her knowledge.
She regards Li Mu as a belief in her heart, and only hopes that she can marry Li Mu in this life, so that she can be a good wife and mother who teaches her husband and children.
But later, somehow, in a war on the frontier, Li Mu led his troops to help, and when he came back, there was an extra child by his side.
This is today's Li Duan.
No one knows who Li Duan's biological mother is and where she is, and Li Mu is also silent about it.
But the Duke of Li still recognized the child, and even made the child Li Mu's eldest son.
However, when her father, who wanted to tell Li Guogong for her, learned of this, he was immediately furious and put aside this idea.
At that time, the emperor's foundation was not yet stable, and the new emperor was involved in political affairs at the beginning, and he rarely needed the help of important ministers in the court.
So, she entered the palace.
And the one who brought her into the palace at that time was Li Mu.
She still remembers that she asked Li Mu if she already had someone she liked.
Li Mu said yes.
However, when she asked who it was, Li Mu didn't say.
She thought that the person Li Mu was happy with was the unknown identity of Li Duan's biological mother, and her heart suddenly darkened, so she cut off this love thread and resolutely entered the palace.
It wasn't until she became a virtuous concubine and recalled the past that she knew that she had never forgotten him.
And it wasn't until after his death that she got from someone what he had been with him for a long time, which was a sachet she had given him.
Now the fragrance of the sachet has dispersed, and the things are wrong, but the thoughts left in her heart have never been dispersed.
Over the years, she has accompanied the queen in the palace and helped the queen. Seeing that the queen tolerated everywhere, she was helpless.
Every night, she just wanted to blame herself for being incompetent and unable to protect his sister.
Now, since his son wants to marry the person he likes, and his son's biggest obstacle is his son, then she should repay his love, and she should repay Lu Guanlan's mother and be a wicked person.
