Chapter 153: A Visit to the Capital
After waiting for three days, Qi Xiaoyun naturally did not appear, and Father-in-law Qian had no choice but to take the Lu family on the road to the capital.
Compared with the last trip back to Yinnan, this time I returned to Beijing, which can be called a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the great rivers and mountains along the way were dizzying.
It's just that the ideal is often very plump, but the reality is always skinny.
Lu Anjin was not interested, not that she didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, but that she was really not in the mood.
The land of the capital, where high-ranking officials and nobles gathered, is also very prosperous. It's just that under this prosperity, there is a turbulent undercurrent, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried.
She doesn't like the capital, so to speak, she hates it very much, but sometimes, she always has to do something she has to do.
"Jin'er, why are you depressed?"
Lu Anjin looked up and saw that Lu's mother was looking at her worriedly. She smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm just a little tired from the journey, and I'm not depressed." ”
Mother Lu sighed, touched Lu Anjin's hair lovingly, and knew that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't continue the topic.
She sat opposite her, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked hesitantly, "Jin'er, there is something that my mother has always wanted to ask you." ”
"If there is anything, my mother will say it directly."
Lu Mu hesitated for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Jin'er, do you know the traces of the prince?" ”
Lu Anjin asked with a smile, "My mother thinks I know the traces of the prince?" ”
"You don't have to be so nervous," Lu Mu chuckled: "My mother knows that you and the prince are in love, if the prince really leaves Beijing, he will definitely come to look for you." ”
Lu Anjin's face turned red in an instant, she lowered her head, and asked a little embarrassed, "Mother, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”
"My mother knows that you left Yinnan a while ago to find the prince."
Lu Anjin's face stiffened, and then she was shy, "My mother knows, I thought I was hiding it well." ”
"You are a piece of meat that fell from your mother's body, what are you thinking, how can your mother not know."
"Does Daddy know?" Before the words fell, she knew that she had asked a stupid question, if her father had known the truth, he would not have followed Father-in-law Qian to the capital so obediently.
Sure enough, Lu Mu shook her head slowly when she heard this, "You also know your father's donkey temper, if he told your father, he would have yelled it a long time ago." ”
Lu Anjin said very seriously: "Daddy is a person who understands the overall situation, so he won't be like this." ”
"So, can you tell your mother now, where is the prince?"
Lu Anjin: ......
How to go around and around, the topic finally came back here.
Lu Anjin was a little helpless, just hesitated for a second, and then confessed leniently.
"My daughter estimates that the prince is about to arrive in the capital now."
Lu Mu said gently: "So, the prince was really in Yinnan before. ”
Lu Anjin realized it later, and the swear that Lu's mother said just now was just deceiving her.
"Mother," she pouted, "are you trying to trick me?" ”
Her gentle and kind mother would dig a big hole for her with her own hands, and then watch her jump down, this feeling is really indescribable.
"Jin'er, don't be angry, my mother just doesn't want you to get hurt. Since the prince is willing to come thousands of miles to find you, it means that he really has you in his heart, if so, the mother can feel at ease. ”
What mother in the world doesn't want her baby daughter to find a lover, her Jin'er is smart, gentle and generous, and deserves the care of the best man in the world.
Originally, she didn't want Lu Anjin to marry into the royal family, after all, the royal family is ruthless, there is no doubt about it. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, God let Jin'er and King Xian meet and fall in love, this is God's destined fate, and non-human beings can change it.
His Royal Highness King Xian stood up to the sky, and he could leave the palace desperately, presumably the relationship between him and the emperor was not harmonious before.
Lu's mother frowned and sighed worriedly, not knowing whether this trip to the capital was a blessing or a curse.
"Mother, don't worry, it's a blessing or a curse, and we can't avoid it. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there is always a way before the car reaches the mountain. ”
Mother Lu chuckled, "My mother still remembers that when you were young, you were very good at talking, but when you grew up, you were not close to your mother, and you talked a lot less." Now, my Jin'er has grown into a big girl, and maybe in a few days, she will become another woman. ”
Speaking of this, she still feels very sad, after all, she is the child she brought up from childhood, and once she became a person from another house, it feels really uncomfortable.
When Lu Anjin heard this, her eyes were slightly red, she lay in Lu's mother's arms, and said coquettishly: "Mother, no matter where I am, I am the daughter of you and my father." ”
"Good boy, my mother will be satisfied when she knows that you have this intention, and you take care of yourself, which is the best reward for your mother and father."
Xu entrusted the blessing of Father-in-law Qian, and the journey was very smooth, Father-in-law Qian arranged them properly, and hurriedly returned to the palace to resume his life.
"Daddy, when did you say His Majesty the Emperor would let us go back to Yinnan?"
Father Lu's face has not been good since he stepped into the capital, and when he returned here again, he had a feeling that things were wrong.
"The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, let's not be presumptuous."
"Also, the emperor's heart, the needle under the sea."
When Father Lu heard this, his tiger eyes widened, and he reprimanded sharply: "Jin'er, be cautious!" ”
Seeing that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Lu Anjin touched his nose and said curtly: "Daddy, my daughter is wrong, I will pay attention to the wording in the future." ”
"Jin'er, the capital is not as good as Yinnan, meticulous work is everywhere, and if we make a slight mistake, it will cause immeasurable consequences."
Regarding his father's cautious attitude, Lu Anjin did not refute it, after all, in this capital surrounded by tigers and wolves, there are really some villains who eat people and do not spit out bones.
She was about to say something more when she heard a loud noise outside, and Father Lu's official shouted angrily: "Who is making a loud noise outside? ”
I saw a little guy running over in a hurry, he was sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "Tell Lord Lu that he is the Qing County Lord of the Wei Mansion, and he has to see Miss Lu." ”
Qing County Lord? Lu Anjin raised his eyebrows and secretly scolded Qi Xiaoyun for provoking the rotten peach blossom.
"Since the county lord wants to see me, you can let her in."
Cold sweat broke out on the little girl's anxious forehead, "Back to Lord Lu, Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, before Gonggong Qian entered the palace, he specially ordered that except for the summons of His Majesty the Emperor, no one else is allowed to see you." ”
Lu Anjin smiled lightly, "Since your father-in-law has explained like this, you can tell the county lord about this." ”
"The little one has already said it, but the county lord keeps and insists on breaking the door."
Lu Anjin understands his suffering, the people have not fought with officials since ancient times, not because they don't want to, but because they know that they can't fight, they don't want to do those things that are not very good.
"You might as well order someone to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion and tell Grandpa Qian's words word for word."
The little girl's eyes rolled, and he felt that this was very reasonable, he saluted Lu Anjin, and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you Miss Lu for your advice, the little one will arrange for someone to go to the Wei State Mansion." ”
"Jin'er, why did you want to help that little guy?"
"Daddy, today the Qing County Lord made it clear that he wanted to be an enemy of his daughter, and his daughter neither wanted to wronged herself nor be an enemy of the Qing County Lord, so she had to save the country."
Father Lu frowned, "Even if you drive the Qing County Lord away today, she will definitely come again tomorrow, you can't avoid it for the rest of your life." ”
Lu Anjin blinked mischievously, "Daddy, it's not that my daughter doesn't want to see the county lord, but that Father-in-law Qian doesn't let my daughter see it, even if the county lord really blames it, what does this have to do with my daughter." ”
"It's your heart's eye."
Lu Anjin only thought he was praising himself, and said unceremoniously: "Thank you daddy for the compliment." ”
There was a faint noisy sound outside, Lu Anjin thought to herself, this Qing county lord is only afraid that he is going to see her, they have no grievances, just because a man has not yet met, he has become a mortal enemy who is very red when he sees each other.
It's really unlucky, how innocent she is.
The little guy's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for them to clear their ears for a while.
"The Qing County Lord has been brought back by the prince of Wei, my lord, madam, and miss, you can rest in peace."
Lu Anjin nodded politely, however, before they could cross the threshold, the emperor's holy decree came again.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and it seems that they won't be able to live in peace today.
The person who took them into the palace this time was not Father-in-law Qian, but a fresh face, Father Lu whispered in front of him, "Why don't you see Father-in-law Qian?" ”
The little eunuch turned his head to look at Father Lu, and said in a low voice: "Today, Grandpa Qian is facing the saint, Your Majesty is furious, and Grandpa Qian is still kneeling in the hall at this time." ”
Father Lu's heart sank.
"I don't know if my father-in-law knows, why did Your Majesty summon us today?"
The little eunuch replied in a low voice: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Xian secretly returned to Beijing yesterday, and only entered the palace today, and he is still in the palace at this time." ”
Hearing that Qi Xiaoyun was currently in the palace, Father Lu's hanging heart was slightly settled.
"Thank you for today's events, this is a little thanks, and please smile at my father-in-law."
Seeing this, the little eunuch retreated again and again, "My lord, you quickly take it back, don't torture the slave." ”
"Today, my father-in-law answered questions and solved doubts for the official, and the official was grateful, and asked my father-in-law not to be polite, just accept it."
The little eunuch shook his head again and again, "No, no, no, it is within the scope of the slave to answer questions and solve doubts for the adult, and the slave is the person of the prince, and the prince specially explained, no matter what the adult asks, he must know everything and say everything." ”
Father Lu was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect this to happen.
"Since my father-in-law insists on not wanting it, then the official will no longer force it, thank you."
Lu Anjin saw all the small actions in front of him, but fortunately, the person still had a little conscience and knew to send someone to remind them.
Once again, they came to the majestic and atmospheric imperial study, and the three members of the Lu family knelt on the ground respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Ministers (courtiers, courtiers) see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said faintly: "Let's be flat." ”
