Since the death of Emperor Xiaowen, Concubine An has been pestering. The sick bed did not get better, Wu Cong said that Concubine An Guifei was overly sad, and it was easy to touch the scene and hurt when she stayed in the palace, and she might get better in a different place to recuperate.

Concubine An Guifei didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, so she took Luo Jun to go to Cheng'an Temple to live temporarily.

Xue Guifei killed the emperor, although An Guifei did not hate Luo Rui because of this, but when she saw him, she couldn't help but think of Xue Guifei, Luo Fu had to leave Luo Rui behind and continue to be raised by the nurse.

Half a year after the death of Emperor Xiaowen, that is, half a year after Luo Xi inherited the throne, the ministers began to play to choose a concubine for Luo Xi.

But Luo Xi was not very interested in this matter, and every time he mentioned it, he waved his hand and said that he would discuss it later.

The ministers had no choice, thinking that only Luo Shi could go this way, so they ganged up to find Luo Shi, saying that their brother and sister had a deep relationship, and asked her to help persuade Luo Xi.

But how can Luo Fu talk about this? She knew that Luo Xi was probably thinking about Faro, but Faro had not been heard from since the last time she left, and she and Luo Xi were both looking for it, but they found nothing.

Luo Shi's idea is that if she can't marry the person she likes, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life, Luo Xi also thinks the same, if she can't marry the person she likes, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life, what about the emperor, as an emperor, doesn't he even have the right to refuse to get married?

The matter dragged on until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

After Li Bu became the Duke of Dingguo, the entertainment around him has not been interrupted, and he now has the right to choose, he can go if he wants, and he won't go if he doesn't want to go.

I usually pushed everything I could, but I couldn't push it off at the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I planned to be invited to see what these people were going to do after the palace banquet.

Luo Xi didn't marry a wife, the harem was empty, and those ladies and officials could only come to worship her when they entered the palace.

I can't let people run for nothing, so I just made a table and talked about what I had to say.

The problem can't escape the choice of concubines, and a few people who are anxious even bring their own daughters.

Luo Fu said with a smile: "This palace knows that you are all looking for this palace because you have no choice, but the thoughts of the imperial brother are not something that can be influenced by one or two sentences of the palace, and I can't replace the imperial brother in this palace, otherwise it will be a few days. The palace discussed with the imperial brother, how about you bring all your daughters and hold a banquet? ”

How could a few ladies not agree, and they responded with a smile.

There is a fresh face among them, which should be the family of a new official, and he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's choice of concubine is the top priority, and Dingguo Gong heard that he has never been married, should he take this opportunity to give Guogong ......"

Before she finished speaking, the woman next to her poked her and motioned for her to shut up.

The woman only thought that she was unintentional, and continued: "The concubine has a younger sister, who has always admired Dingguo Gong, and said that he should not marry, and the concubine thinks that since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and it would be good if Dingguo Gong could also be present at that time." ”

Luo Fu put down the cup and gently hooked the corners of his lips: "He is in charge of the marriage of the Duke of Dingguo, just what the palace has heard, the people who love him, there are not a hundred but eighty, if he likes him, he has to ask for it, and the Dingguo Mansion may not be able to fit it for a long time." ”

The woman was still unaware of it, and continued: "What woman doesn't love a man like Dingguo Gong? The beauty of the concubine's sister, if Dingguo sees it, she will definitely like it. ”

The woman next to her had already given up reminding her, how could the waiter of the Heart Dao Rite Department marry such an eyeless mother-in-law, and she still wanted to be a scholar, offending the princess and waiting for the next life!

Several ladies pinched their sweat and looked at Luo Shi's face cautiously.

Luo Fu looked up at the moon in the sky, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he agreed with a smile: "Then it will be set in three days, and the palace will invite the Duke of Dingguo to come." ”

The lady of the Ministry of Rites did not notice the difference, and happily agreed.

The other ladies didn't have much intention of reminding her anymore, after all, it was a good thing that their men had fewer competitors in the court.

Su Wan was puzzled by Luo Fu's decision: "That lady of the Ministry of Rites is obviously deliberate, how could she not know about your relationship with the Duke of Dingguo?" also forced his sister over, isn't this obviously trying to climb the high branches? ”

Marrying the emperor into the palace as a concubine, you have to face the intrigue of dozens or even hundreds of women, if you are stupid and calculated, it is very likely that the whole family will lose their lives.

Therefore, the decision of Mrs. Shilang of the Ministry of Rites to send her sister to the Dingguo Mansion is very wise, at least there is little competition, and the chance of success is great.

In the eyes of these women, Li Bu seems to have become a reckless man with no connotation, as if any woman can enter his eyes as long as she is beautiful.

But I don't want to think about it, it's really like this, and there are no women around him until now?

Li Bu, who was far away outside the palace, shuddered.

Several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department pulled him onto the ship: "Don't worry, this place is very hidden and will not be discovered." ”

A three-storey painting boat, the boat is brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo, all kinds of fat powder incense straight into people's noses, and the girls wear one cooler than the other.

He frowned: "Isn't this the women's branch?" ”

"Guogong doesn't know, this is different from the ordinary women's branch, the girls in it will have everything, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can find it if you want a martial arts, and you have two tricks to compare and compare, it is also a different kind of love. Interesting. ”

Li Bu sneered: "You usually come to this kind of place? The rules of the court don't allow you to go to the women's branch, so why don't you just build one yourself? ”

Being able to invite him to this kind of place today is also what they mustered up the courage and made a lot of determination to do, because they feel that he is not so rigid and playful, not to mention that he wants to marry Luo Fu, and it is not so easy to come out and have fun after marrying the princess, they have not married the princess, and the tigress in the family has to check the post, so you can imagine how sad Li Bu's life will be in the future.

But they miscalculated, it wasn't that Luo Fu wanted Li Bu to guard himself like a jade, it was that he didn't want to steal. It's not like going to heaven but going to hell, and when you know what's inside, you won't move forward.

"Don't worry, Guogong, we will keep our mouths tight, and we will never let the Fifth Highness know half a word."

Li Bu waved his hand: "Get out, play by yourself." "Sweet potato

"Grandpa Guo, it's not that the lower officials are scaring you, once you get married to His Royal Highness in the future, you won't be able to live such a carefree life, women, born vinegar jars, don't talk about concubines when you get married, you just look at other women, they can be vinegar for a day."

Jealous?

This Li Bu really hasn't seen it on Luo Fu.

But he wouldn't be stupid enough to risk his life to give it a try, in case he smashed his foot and couldn't explain it clearly, wouldn't that be digging his own grave?

He didn't go in the end, there was wind under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, there was no shadow.

Later, he was still talking about him: "You said that the grandfather of this country doesn't look like a person who will be afraid of His Highness, how can he become a rat guts when he encounters this kind of thing?" ”

Another said: "Hey, what else can I do, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!" ”

Although Li Bu didn't go into the painting boat, he also felt that those people were stealing behind his wife's back. Fishy behavior was shameful, but there was a word he listened to.

Because he cares, he will be jealous, and he also wants Luo Shi to be jealous because of him.

This opportunity soon came, Luo Xi agreed to Luo Fu's persuasion, and held a banquet in the palace, all officials of the fifth rank and above, and women of appropriate age in the family could go to the palace banquet.

Li Bu was also invited, and sat opposite Luo Shi.

Before entering the table, Rashiki told him that Mrs. Rybu had a younger sister who loved him and wanted to marry him.

Li Bu desperately tried to find a little suspicion of jealousy from the tone and expression of Luo Fu when he said this, but unfortunately, he didn't see any flaws.

During the banquet, the daughters of each family showed their powers, and the purpose was to do their best to seduce the emperor's soul, but the emperor was never moved.

It was the turn of the sister of the lady of the Ministry of Rites, and when she danced, she only looked at Li Bu, and with a flick of her water sleeves, she swept over Li Bu with the fragrance, her eyes were like silk, and she was extremely flirtatious. Dial the meaning.

After the dance, it was not over, this girl was bold, and began to toast again, saying that she admired Li Bu, and said a lot of praise, her eyes were hooked, and she did this part, even if she was a fool, she should understand what people wanted, right?

Luo Fu took the initiative to get up and asked him: "Wan girl loves Dingguo Gong, and she is so beautiful and beautiful, Dingguo Gong has no family anyway, why don't you ask Your Majesty to marry you?" ”

Li Bu looked at Luo Fu without blinking.

She was expressionless and her tone was stiff, and although she did not clearly express her dissatisfaction, she could tell that she was not in a good mood.

"Miss Wan is indeed a rare beauty."

He echoed and complimented.

The lady of the Ministry of Rites and the girl Gu both smiled, as if they had seen victory.

"It is true that there is a lack of a lady in the courtier's family."

Seeing that Luo Fu's face was darkening little by little, Li Bu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said: "But just now, Miss Wan's sleeve was thrown on my face, and the fragrance was pungent, and I don't like to smell incense the most, so forget it." ”

What is the reason for this?

Miss Wan hurriedly said: "If Grandpa Guo doesn't like it, the little girl won't smoke incense in the future." ”

Luo Fu lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, his expression was not sure whether he was angry or smiling: "Li Bu, Miss Wan is very sincere." ”

Li Bu heard a hint of warning and sighed: "As for me, I don't like the kind of person who easily changes himself because of someone else's words, he has no idea in his stomach, his ears are soft, and he is easy to get into right and wrong." ”

Miss Wan was speechless, looking at her sister, tears rolling in her eyes.

Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites was a little unable to get off the stage: "Grandpa Guo, this ......"

Li Bu looked at Miss Wan, frowned and said, "I don't know how to coax women, and I don't like women crying in front of me." ”

Miss Wan was swept away, covered her face and ran out, and her sister quit and went out to coax her.

"Didn't my sister say that men like to be pretty? I worked so hard today, but he humiliated me like that, telling me how to go out to meet people in the future? ”

Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites comforted: "I heard that Li Bu likes His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness before, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, he didn't ask His Majesty for marriage. ”

Miss Wan cried even more: "Sister Dare to test him with me? ”

"Don't worry, we still have a chance, isn't he married yet? His Royal Highness Fifth can't look at him all day long, and when he leaves the palace, there are not many opportunities for you to choose? ”

"Then if the Fifth Highness knows about it......"

"What are you afraid of? His Royal Highness also wants face, even if he knows it, it is impossible to stick it upside down on the door of Li Bu's house, can she still clean you up? At most, it is a dumb person who eats coptis. ”

"Really?"

"That's ......"

Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites didn't answer all the words, and suddenly heard this voice a little familiar, and when she turned around, she saw Luo Fu standing behind her, and looked at her with a smile: "Go on, what about the dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis?" ”
