After entering the house for a long time, I heard the sound of Chu Yu leaving, and Ah Li said, "Miss, do you really plan to keep Chu Yu by your side?" ”

Lu Guanlan sat down in front of the dressing table, fiddling with the jewelry, "Why not?" ”

"But Chu Yu she is not a member of our Dacheng country, the slave is really worried, Chu Yu she will be unfavorable to you in the future," Ah Li's expression was full of worry.

Lu Guanlan stood up and said: "Now I know that I am a personal girl by my side, and there are people staring at you every time you go out of the house, although Xiaoju is dedicated to me, she is simple-minded in the end, and there are some things that are inconvenient for her to do." Tell me, is there a better option than to keep the first words? ”

Hearing Lu Guanlan say this, Ah Li didn't say much.

Speaking of which, the young lady's mind is too unpredictable. At first, she felt that Chu Yu was born poor, and that she was clever and clever, and she seemed to be a loyal protector of the Lord, so she persuaded the young lady not to be suspicious.

Now that she has tried to find out the first language and learned the secret of the first language, she feels that it is really dangerous to keep the first language by her side, which is not as good as her own people, but the young lady wants to let the first language stay at this time.

Just thinking about it, I saw that Lu Guanlan had already taken off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

"You can go and get the objects on the dressing table and send them out of the house for me," Lu Guanlan said, then turned sideways and closed his eyes.

Ah Li replied, turned around and went to the dressing table to see that there was a purse in the jewelry box that Lu Guanlan was fiddling with.

Ali smiled. Although the young lady's mind is elusive, only in the matter of General Li, it is always awkward and easy to understand at a glance.

Outside the back door of the Lu Mansion, a carriage was parked.

Zhang Sanzhi ate the cake in his mouth, turned his head to look at his general, and saw Li Duan leaning on the mat and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"General, I don't think Miss Lu will come out to see you today, why don't we go back?" Zhang Sanzhi swallowed the last bite of chewed crumbs and said.

Li Duan opened his eyes and lifted the curtain.

The door to the backyard was still closed, and it looked like she wasn't going to come out.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a creak at the back door, and a person came out of it.

Li's eyes lit up, and he was about to jump out of the carriage, but it could be seen that the man turned around, but he was not the person he was thinking about.

Then his eyes darkened, and he leaned back on the mat.

Zhang Sanzhi was interested, and when he saw Ah Li coming out, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

After asking, he remembered the general behind him, so he asked again: "Where is your young lady?" ”

Ah Li looked sideways at the open car curtain, Li Qianzheng looked unhappy, and seemed to be particularly disappointed with her arrival.

Then he said, "Miss is asleep, so let me come out." ”

Hearing this, Li Duan looked at Ah Li and said, "Did she sleep so early in the past?" ”

Somehow, Li Duan felt that Lu Guanlan was clearly trying to avoid him.

Although he expressed his intentions, he could be regarded as asking to marry her that night, but if she was unwilling, he never thought of persecuting her, so he would avoid him like a snake and scorpion.

Hearing the ridicule in Li Duan's words, Ah Li was also very helpless.

This young lady of hers is so bold that she is going to die on weekdays, but it just so happens that in front of this General Li, she is always thin-skinned.

Let her come out today to deliver the purse, I think it's too shy.

"Miss just disposed of the slaves and maids in the courtyard, she is very tired today, and she didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I hope the general will understand," Ah Li stepped forward and bowed her head.

Hearing this, Li Duan sat up straight, and his brows furrowed, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Ah Li couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Miss's body is fine, it's just that she made something overnight." ”

"Something?" Li was puzzled, "What else can be made overnight." ”

As he was talking, he saw Ah Li take out a purse from his sleeve and present it to Li Duan: "That's it." ”

Li Duan was stunned for a moment, and then took a look.

The embroidery thread of this purse is excellent, and the embroidery is also exquisite and careful, and there is a branch of nine-English plum embroidered on it.

Li Duan suddenly understood, and there was a smile on his face, and he hurriedly said to Ah Li: "Go back and tell your young lady, I accepted this purse, and I will wear it on my body every day after that, and I will also take her mind to heart." ”

Ali saluted, "Yes, General." ”

Then he turned and left.

Zhang Sanzhi was a little dissatisfied, stepped forward and pulled Ah Li over, and asked, "What about me?" ”

Ah Li was stunned, her face full of doubts, "What does Deputy Lieutenant Zhang mean by this?" ”

Zhang Sanzhi pursed his lips, "I'm asking, do I also have a purse?" ”

Ah Li frowned, "If Vice Lieutenant Zhang wants a purse, he can buy it himself, and Miss won't embroider one for Vice Lieutenant Zhang herself." ”

Zhang Sanzhi said: "Then why don't you learn from your young lady and embroider one for me?" ”

As soon as Ah Li heard this, her face became angry, and she ignored Li Jun watching from the side, turned around and left angrily.

Zhang Sanzhi looked puzzled, turned around and said, "What's wrong with this girl?" Got gunpowder? ”

Li Duan held the purse in his hand and smiled, "This purse is the heart of my daughter's family, who is as rude as you, and even rushes to ask someone, it's a bit embarrassing to say it." ”

With that, Li leaned in and closed his eyes contentedly.

Zhang Sanzhi was a little uninterested, and immediately got into the carriage and came to Li Duan, "I said general, this Miss Lu embroidered the purse for you, why don't you lend it to me?" Catch up with Ming'er and I'm going to find someone to embroider one? ”

Li Duan ignored Zhang Sanzhi, leaned to the side, and said, "Dreaming." ”

When he woke up the next day, Lu Guanlan had just gotten up, but he saw that Chu Yu was already waiting in the outhouse.

"I've thought about it," Chu Yu saw that Lu Guanlan had already gotten up, so he stepped forward and knelt down.

"How?" Lu Guanlan sat down on the chair, took the hot tea handed by Ah Li, and asked with raised eyebrows.

Chu Yu bowed, "I am willing to stay by your side and do things for you, but you also have to swear to me that you will definitely help me find His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”

Lu Guanlan took a sip of tea, felt a little hot, then blew it, and said: "I can't guarantee you, let alone swear to you, you said that your majesty has a secret letter, but how can I judge that the content of this secret letter is true?" Besides, I don't know whether your Royal Highness the Emperor is alive or dead, so how can I guarantee that I will find it for you? ”

Lu Guanlan was right, but the purpose of the first words was to find His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, if not, what would she do if she stayed by Lu Guanlan's side.

Looking at Chu Yu's frowns, Lu Guanlan said again: "However, if your own people have real clues, I can promise you that I will definitely be able to help you bring your eldest grandson, how about it?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chu Yu immediately looked up at Lu Guanlan, "Really? ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "I won't swear, believe it or not." ”

For some reason, this time I realized that Lu Guanlan didn't lie to her.

Immediately, he kowtowed to Lu Guanlan and said, "Go back, but listen to Miss's orders." ”

Lu Guanlan put down the teacup, and the smile on his face was even worse, "Get up, there will be more things for you to do in the future, don't kneel down." ”

In the ink garden, Lu Jingzhu had been waiting anxiously for several days, and there was no movement outside.

I couldn't sit still, and I wanted to go out of the courtyard to ask Lu Bingyan.

But Ping'er stopped Lu Jingzhu, "Miss, don't go to the master at this time, have you forgotten, the master was so angry that you ran out without permission, if you couldn't bear to run out today, wouldn't it be in line with the heart of the Taoyuan one?" ”

Lu Jingzhu threw down the teacup, "Could it be that I'm going to sit here and wait to die!" A-Niang has been trapped by Lu Guanlan, and I have to be trapped by her too? ”

Ping'er stepped forward to pick up the broken teacup on the ground, and patiently comforted: "Auntie has told the slave maid before, let the slave and maid look at you more, so that you don't act rashly, now although the aunt is imprisoned by the eldest lady, but in the end there is still a breath left, as long as the young lady is still there, sooner or later you can pick up the aunt out." ”

Lu Jingzhu's eyes flashed when he heard this.

Yes, A-Niang is not dead now.

As long as A-Niang is still alive, there will always be a day when their mother and daughter will turn over.

Besides, the king is about to be crowned, as long as the third highness is crowned the prince, she believes that the third highness will not fail her.

As long as she becomes a princess, she doesn't believe that Lu Guanlan can fight with her.

At this time, in the council hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, but the emperor was nowhere to be seen.

The two princes in the hall, Cheng Mo and Cheng Ye, were there, but the two were not in the same place, but they just sat quietly on the chairs in the hall, watching the courtiers discuss the matter of today's envoys.

At this time, I heard the voice of the internal official outside the door-

"The Great Prince has arrived!"

Baiguan immediately turned his head to look outside the hall, and saw a man in a light gold and blue ripple brocade robe walking from outside.

The person who came was Cheng Hao, the eldest son of the current emperor.

Cheng Hao's face was solemn and imposing, as if it was not a prince, but the current emperor.

Cheng Mo and Cheng Ye also stood up from their chairs and saluted Cheng Hao.

When Cheng Hao arrived in front of the crowd, he spoke: "My father is not feeling well today, so let me preside over your political affairs," he said, his eyes looked coldly towards Cheng Mo on the left side of the hall, "Since the second brother is also here today, it is better to let everyone hear what the second brother has to say." ”

Cheng Mo smiled, "My brother is shallow, so I don't dare to have any opinions." ”

There was a sneer on the corner of Cheng Hao's mouth, and he looked at Cheng Ye on the right side of the hall, "What about the third brother?" ”

Cheng Ye also smiled, "Big brother knows me the most, where can I have any opinions." ”

Seeing that neither of them said anything, Cheng Hao said: "Today, the envoy of Xixuan proposed to join forces, and my father hesitated about it, so I thought that everyone could see the pros and cons from it, and it was better to analyze it a little, what's the matter, no one can see this Manchu Dynasty civil and military?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cheng Hao looked at Lu Bingyan who was standing in the corner, "Lu Shangshu." ”

Lu Bingyan's body trembled when he heard this.

He stood in the distance today, because he didn't want to get involved in this matter, not because he didn't have opinions, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake and make Long Yan angry.

After all, this is about the people of Dacheng, and if a decision goes wrong, their frontier people will not be protected.

"You are most valued by your father, but you run diligently on weekdays, why don't you know how to stand up and worry for the king today?" Cheng Hao said with a cold face.

Lu Bingyan hurriedly knelt down, "This-Wei Chen is only in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, such a national event, Wei Chen sees that it is better for a few princes to win it with His Majesty." ”

Regarding this cooperation, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally had ideas, but no one dared to say it.

If something goes wrong, it will be a big sin for the nine clans, and who can take care of them except these three princes.

Seeing that Cheng Hao was embarrassed by Lu Bingyan, Cheng Mo couldn't help frowning.

In the end, Lu Bingyan is still Lu Guanlan's father, if Lu Bingyan has anything to do in the court, then Lu Guanlan will definitely be implicated.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mo immediately said: "Big brother, why don't you let all the officials go back and think about it, and when they go to court tomorrow, let them tell their opinions to their father?" ”

Cheng Hao was dissatisfied with Cheng Mo on weekdays, where was he willing to listen to Cheng Mo, so he said: "According to what the second brother said, what is the use of my father raising this group of courtiers on weekdays?" Now that you have come to this council hall, is it possible that you can't say anything, so you go back like this? ”

At this time, Cheng Ye suddenly spoke, "Big brother, the second brother is right, it's better to let them go back, than in front of us, maybe they will think more clearly when they go back." ”

Cheng Ye has always been good friends with Cheng Hao, and Cheng Hao is more willing to listen to what Cheng Ye says than Cheng Mo.

Then he nodded, "Since the third brother has said so, then you will disperse today, and think about it when you go back, when your father comes to the court tomorrow, if you can't say why, I think my father will also condemn you." ”

After that, Cheng Hao Ye didn't stay for a long time, glanced at Cheng Mo, snorted coldly and left.

Cheng Mo looked at Cheng Hao's back, frowned, and then looked at Cheng Ye again.

Today, how can he be so kind and still be able to help him speak?
