Chapter 404: The Emperor Who Wants to Open
The sky was getting dark, and Lou Yan couldn't help but look outside.
Seeing him like this, the emperor smiled and said, "Anxious to go home? Lou Si, you're not the same as before, and you're still married, right? ”
Lou Yan lowered his head and smiled, looking embarrassed.
The government affairs were almost handled, and the emperor was in good spirits, and asked: "You still disliked Miss Chi before, how are you doing now?" Although I have only seen her a few times, I see that she has a good temperament and good appearance, if it weren't for the fact that her family background is too low, my aunt is afraid that she still wants to marry high. ”
Lou Yan didn't want to talk about the things in the house, but the emperor asked like this, and only reluctantly replied: "It's quite compatible." ”
The emperor laughed and said, "You said that it is compatible, then it is really good, this matchmaker really did nothing wrong." ”
Seeing that it was getting dark, he waved his hand: "Okay, you are not in your heart, I will not keep you." It's still newlywed, and it's normal to be inseparable, and I want to ...... with Concubine Yu at the beginning."
Speaking of this, the emperor stopped, and his face showed a look of amazement: "Now I envy you......"
The emperor was so sad, Lou Yan should be comforted, but he was already impatient to grind here, and he couldn't wait to go home immediately, so he pretended not to know and opened his mouth to leave.
After he went, the emperor sat alone for a long time, but he heard a report from the chamberlain that Liu Jieyu was here.
Liu Sisi has always understood the rules, he is still in the previous dynasty, how can he bother?
When she came in and saluted, she asked with a smile: "What day is today, can Your Majesty remember?" ”
The emperor was stunned.
Liu Sisi said angrily: "I knew that you were busy with government affairs, so I forgot about it." Today is Concubine Chen's sister's birthday! Changfu Palace invited me and other sisters to celebrate, and the concubine expected that Sister Chen's sister was thinking about you, so she dared to invite her for her. ”
The emperor understood and nodded to her: "There is Concubine Lao, so I will order someone to go to Changfu Palace to send congratulatory gifts." ”
"Your Majesty!" Liu Sisi persuaded, "No matter how heavy the congratulatory gift is, it is better for you to go in person." Since last winter, you have been to Changfu Palace less often. The concubine knows that you are not blaming Sister Chen, but you are just a little embarrassed in your heart. But it's been so long, and it's time for you to recover. That matter is an order from Qingning Palace, do you want the Queen Mother to misunderstand? ”
When the emperor heard her say this, his heart was shaken.
Although Concubine Yu was self-inflicted, as long as he thought that Concubine Chen used the dragon heir and colluded with the queen mother to set up such a scheme, he lost the idea of getting close to this woman.
But what Liu Sisi said is also right, if you don't go to Changfu Palace, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will misunderstand.
Thinking like this, another report came from outside, and the queen also came.
Seeing Liu Sisi here, the queen was very surprised, but she didn't say anything, gave a salute, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today is Concubine Chen's birthday, and the sisters are all in Changfu Palace!" After a hard day's work, why don't you go to Joyy Quarters? ”
The emperor blurted out: "You also come to talk about this?" ”
"Also?" The queen looked at Liu Sisi, "Could it be that Liu Jieyu ......?"
Liu Sisi bent her knees and said embarrassedly: "I didn't know that the queen mother would come, the concubine is troublesome." ”
The queen smiled: "How come? If you have a heart, this palace will be happy. ”
After that, he comforted the emperor in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, if you are unhappy, you will be even more unhappy if you keep thinking about it." Although someone has failed you, there are still so many sisters who are thinking about you, why should you be unhappy for those who are not worthy? ”
The emperor's mood was stirred.
Yes, Concubine Yu doesn't know how to cherish it, but this entire harem is a woman who goes forward because of his eyes. He is the emperor, and it is only right to enjoy their invitation.
"Good. Huen, drive to Changfu Palace. ”
……
When Lou Yan arrived home, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
Beixiang fights all year round, and the family comes and goes in the barracks, and the rules of daily life are not very strict. But whenever it comes to the meal, the concubine of Beixiang will eat as usual.
Chi Yun leaned on the couch and read a book, heard movement outside, and instructed the maids to prepare water and deliver food.
Get ready here, and Lou Yan and the staff over there have also finished talking.
Chi Yun came over to dine with him and asked, "Why is it so late today?" ”
"There is a report from the southwest, and I am afraid that there will be a war, so I have delayed the time." Lou Yan asked her, "Have you used it?" ”
Chi Yun nodded: "The mother concubine didn't ask me to wait, saying that there was no need for the family to be hungry." ”
Lou Yan smiled: "I knew that you and the concubine got along well." ”
"It's good to be a concubine, and it's my blessing to be her daughter-in-law." Chi Yun said sincerely.
Lou Yan sighed: "You don't know, when my grandmother was here before, my mother also suffered hardships. My grandmother was born in a family, and she attached great importance to etiquette and upbringing, and always said that the mother concubine had no rules, unlike those who came out of the palace, and were constrained everywhere. At that time, the mother swore that she would become a mother-in-law in the future and would never let her daughter-in-law suffer from that again. ”
Chi Yun had never heard of this, so he asked, "Is this so?" The mother has been suffering? ”
Lou Yan laughed: "How come? Later, when we attacked Anxi, our army on the north road made a mistake and almost ordered someone to attack the base camp. The mother went to the battlefield with the child in her arms, led the people to defeat the attacking surprise soldiers, chased my father's soldiers and horses all the way to the front line, and gave birth to my eldest brother on the battlefield. Since then, the mother and the princess have been in charge of the army with her father, and the grandmother no longer cares about her. ”
This is a forced defeat of the old lady!
Ji Yun knelt for her.
Lou Yan had dinner and asked her, "Let's go for a walk next door and eat less?" ”
Next door to him was the house that was sold to the eldest princess, with a large garden in it.
A house like this in the capital is very expensive, and Lou Yan collected a lot of money from the eldest princess when he resold it. I opened a door between the two houses when I turned around, and I blatantly went for a walk every day to enjoy the scenery, and used it as my own garden, which was very shameful.
When Chi Yun said about him, he was still confident: "Now that you want to support your family, you can't save flowers?" Anyway, the eldest princess lives alone, so let's go for a walk more and add some popularity to her. ”
"I have so much dowry, and I don't need you to raise it."
"That won't work, your dowry should be kept for the children. I have my own money and can afford to raise a family. There are also some routine filial piety, which can be saved up and used later. ”
Ji Yun was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, and he laughed again when he thought about it.
He holds Beixiang's property in the capital in his hands, where will there be no money? I just want to save up my own money to build a seowon.
This is his promise to his grandfather, and it is also an explanation to himself, so he refuses to go through the hands of others.
The eldest princess is rich and wealthy, and she doesn't care about money, and the house next door is brightly lit, and she doesn't even need lanterns.
The two walked around the garden for a while, and Chi Yun talked about today's incident in the Guangming Temple, and finally said: "I have a hunch that Jiang Shi is going to be unlucky." ”
Before Lou Yan could reply, he saw the eldest princess coming towards him and asked, "Who is going to be unlucky?" ”
