Following Yun Qian's words, Duanmu Qing really reduced the number of times he went to Xiao'er Hutong, and Lu Xi seemed to have improved a little.

This made Duanmu Qing very happy, and he didn't dare to disobey Yun Qian's words.

At the same time, because of Luxi's improvement, she herself has finally begun to recover.

Duanmu Jun didn't see his daughter throughout the New Year, and he came to Hanfu by himself.

When asked about the reason, she had no choice but to lie, saying that she had been unwell and didn't dare to tell her.

After a few words of reproach, after all, it was his distressed daughter, and he didn't want to say more, so he took Duanmusu back to the Yongding Marquis Mansion together.

On this side, they all revolved around Duanmu Qing and Lu Xi.

Elsewhere, it's still as it should be.

Although Zhao Yuxing did not get the military power of the forbidden army, among the three princes, he was already the most vocal.

The tragedy of the Duke of Qi was naturally discovered, and the emperor sent people to investigate, but there were no results several times, and it became an unsolved case.

Except for the queen's constant sadness, there is no other effect.

And Duanmu Zhu was moved and favored by the emperor because of that heroic time to block the sword for the emperor.

In the harem, Concubine Shu is dead.

Because of that palace change, Concubine De became more low-key, and she was like Concubine Tong on weekdays, and she didn't show up if she didn't appear.

Because of the tragedy of her mother's family, the queen did not accept the concubines' invitations for many days, only saying that she was sick, and she would not do anything.

Song Jieyu unfortunately died in that palace change.

Because of this, Duanmu Zhu was favored by the harem for a time and was promoted to Concubine Yi.

And because the queen is not in good health, he is in charge of the power of the six palaces.

This made Duanmu Qing unexpected, in her previous life, she was only concubine Yi, and she did not have the honor of this life.

I was inexplicably a little irritable.

Looking at her slightly frowning eyebrows, Han Lingyan reached out and gently rubbed it for her: "What's wrong?" ”

Shaking his head, he smiled slightly: "It's nothing, by the way, is there anything else that hasn't happened recently?" ”

"Speaking of which, this aunt of yours is also lucky enough to be in this position.

Even the Aunt Qin and grandmother of your family have been named a third-grade lady, but you can enter the palace alone to visit Concubine Yi! ”

"Really?!"

"Is this still fake? I heard that you had a good relationship with Aunt Qin and Grandma in the past, so let's go see her when we have time? ”

I don't know why, Duanmu Qing subconsciously shook his head: "Forget it, she is old now, and her grandmother is not there, I'm afraid that she just wants to be closer to Concubine Yi in her heart!" ”

After saying this, something seemed to pass by in Duanmu Qing's heart, but it disappeared quickly, and it was too late to catch a star.

February 12 is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and it is also Duanmuqing's fifteenth birthday.

Fifteen years old is the age of the curtain, and according to custom, it is customary to perform the rites.

But at this time, Duanmu Qing was not interested at all, and he didn't even want to see so many people.

But this Helu ceremony wants to indicate that the woman of Helu has a smooth and happy life.

Han Lingxi didn't want to forget it.

After all, under the discussion of the two, just invite a few people to preside over it.

Because an older woman is needed to be the guest of honor, and there is also a secretary and counselor, who needs to be a good sister or friend.

Therefore, Duanmu Qing had no choice but to invite Lin, Duanmu and Luo Qibian.

Speaking of which, since that palace change, she hasn't seen Luo Qifang.

Listening to what Han Lingyan said, Luo Qibian has hardly shown up these days.

Even at the beginning of the year, he only stayed in the Erwang Mansion, and he didn't even go to the Luo Guo Mansion.

It can be seen that Zhao Yuxing treats her strictly, which can also be understood as distrust of her.

But now Duanmu Zhu is covering the sky with one hand in the harem, Duanmu Qing is her niece, and he can't help but give her face, so he let it go.

After seeing Duanmu Qing, Luo Qibian had time to ask about her injuries.

Afraid that she would feel sad, Duanmu Qing naturally did not tell the truth, only said that it looked dangerous, but in fact it was fine, and everything was fine now.

In the end, today is her good day, although Luo Qifang is full of care, it is not good to cry at this time.

When it was time to make the ceremony, when he saw the hairpin on the white jade tray, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

looked at Han Lingyan, who was standing in the corner, but saw him smile evilly.

As I said before, since I want to do this and the ceremony, I naturally have to choose a good hairpin.

Who knew that Han Lingfei said that he wanted him to choose.

Seeing this hairpin at this time, Duanmuqing didn't know what it was like, and what was placed on it was the ink hosta.

I haven't seen it since I woke up.

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but then I thought about it because I lost it, so I forgot it.

Who knew it would be there.

"Huh!" Luo Qi smiled shallowly and pulled Duanmu Qing's gaze back.

Only to find that everyone was looking at her and Han Lingxi, and they couldn't help but blush.

Seeing this, Lin smiled brightly, gently picked up the hairpin, and put it on for her.

This is considered a courtesy.

The guests enjoyed it to the fullest, and it was not too early to go back.

Only Luo Qibian and Duanmu Qing are sisters and have not seen each other for many days, and many major events have happened during this period, so it is a little difficult to part at this time.

Knowing that the sun was setting in the west, someone outside spread that the second prince had come to pick up the second princess.

If it is someone else, it will definitely make people envious, not every woman can be so concerned about her husband.

However, she is Luo Qifang.

Duanmu Qing clearly knew that Zhao Yuxing was not concerned about her.

This can be seen from her cold and indifferent expression when the two talked about her current life in the Second Prince's Mansion.

When she was sent to the door, she saw Zhao Yuxing sitting high on a horse, and there was no carriage.

"Lao Zhao, arrange a carriage to send the second princess back to the house." Duanmu Qing commanded expressionlessly.

Someone went down to prepare.

Zhao Yuxing stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the princess, but you don't need a carriage." ”

"The prince said this strangely, does the princess have to go back by herself? Doesn't it make people look at the joke? ”

Duanmu Qing was also honestly unkind and sneered.

Zhao Yuxing didn't take her words, but looked at Luo Qifang coldly: "Why don't you go quickly?!" ”

Duanmu Qing was furious in his heart, and was about to say something, but his sleeve was pulled by others, and when he turned his head, he saw Luo Qibian smiling bitterly and shaking his head gently.

Then he calmly walked down the steps.

"Princess Lao cares, but she is just a vulgar person, and she is not used to the carriage, so she wasted the princess's kindness."

As he spoke, he threw out the horsewhip directly, but Luo Qibian grabbed the end of the horsewhip very skillfully.

The moment he drove the horse, he jumped on the horse's back and sat down behind him, and almost as soon as she touched the horse's back, the horse began to gallop with all its might.

As soon as the two of them rode away, they immediately went away.

Looking at their backs stupidly, Duanmu Qing didn't know what to do for a while.

Looking at Luo Qibian's appearance, it was like seeing a bird that had been flying freely in the sky and began to sing in the golden wire cage.

Life is still going on as usual, and the only consolation is that Lu Xi is getting better day by day, and sometimes inadvertently, it seems to smile faintly, although it is only a fleeting smile.

He still rarely speaks, and even when he does, it's all short sentences.

But this has already made Duanmu Qing very happy.

As soon as she came back from Xiao'er Hutong on this day, Han Lingyan asked her to tell her that there was news in the palace that Duanmu Zhu was pregnant.

This was to be expected.

Although she had a previous miscarriage, the doctor had already diagnosed it, and her fertility was not affected.

At this time, she is a pet in the harem, and pregnancy is a matter of time.

Only this time, the emperor obviously attached great importance to it.

Just because she was pregnant, she asked for a big feast to entertain civil and military officials and orders.

Duanmu Qing and Han Lingxi naturally wanted to go.

Originally, I thought that Lu Xi's matter had not yet fallen, and I was not in the mood, so I didn't want to participate.

But Han Lingxian felt that if he didn't participate this time, he was afraid that it would not be good for the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

The emperor would think that Duanmu Zhu's maiden family did not take this noble concubine seriously.

Although she was born as a concubine in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, she is now a noble concubine, and now she is not what it used to be, so she should naturally be held by the stars.

After thinking about it, he did have a point.

Since the incident between Duanmu Bi and Aunt Liu, the Yongding Marquis Mansion has finally calmed down, and it really can't be affected by the turmoil anymore.

The banquet was scheduled for March 20, just when there was nothing going on in the country, and the faction was leveling, which was a good time to have fun.

This time the palace banquet seemed to be a long time since the last one, a full three or four months.

So the people who came also seemed to be in good spirits.

Duanmu Qing and Han Lingyan walked in and found their seats and sat down.

Sure enough, as he said, Chu Yan, Lin, and Duanmu Jun all came.

What surprised Duanmu Qing was Aunt Qin, at this time she had changed greatly from what Duanmu Qing had known before.

Wearing a red gold blessing hairpin on his head, the workmanship will definitely not be able to be done by the Sizhen Bureau.

There are two other swaying, and the emeralds on the top are shining.

The clothes on his body are all made of royal materials, and they are also cut by the needle bureau.

It looks graceful and luxurious, dignified and quiet.

Compared with the orders of other families who came, it was not inferior at all.

It was only at this time that Duanmu Qing discovered that Aunt Qin and Grandma Qin actually had such a temperament.

But if you look closely, you can also see the shadow of the old lady.

I think I've been following the old lady for a long time, and my gestures are a little similar.

It's just that looking at her at this moment, there is a world of difference from the woman she saw in the old lady's room before.

And at this time, because of Duanmu Zhu, where would those edicts think that she was just a concubine of the old man Duanmu.

gathered to greet her, and they didn't feel that it would lose their worth at all.

has followed the old lady for many years, and has naturally learned a lot of these means of socializing, and of course she is comfortable with these women.

Anyway, this woman can be regarded as having survived, Duanmu Qing sighed in his heart.

It's just that my grandmother is gone.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Yi has arrived."
