"It's okay now, my sister fell in love at a glance, and I can't say that I will call you sister-in-law in the future." Sun Wan said happily.

Liuli smiled helplessly, pulled Sun Wan away from the place where she was eavesdropping, and said honestly: "Sister Wan, although this cousin is good, I will not marry him." ”

"Huh?" Sun Wan was puzzled, "Didn't my sister praise him just now for showing his talent and demeanor?" ”

"Yes, but this is not the same thing as getting married, I don't know him at all", Liuli said, "Today, I'm tired of Sister Wan, I will go back and make it clear to my eldest sister." ”

Sun Wan tried her best to keep it, she really likes Liuli and wants to become a family with her: "But my mother said that feelings are slowly cultivated, although my sister doesn't know her cousin now, but she will have time to get along in the future, my cousin is so good, you will be happy." ”

Seeing her like this, Liuli didn't want to say any more perfunctory words, so she said honestly: "Sister Wan, I have a sweetheart." ”

"Huh?" Sun Wan was surprised, and then there was a secret excitement, "Does my sister have a sweetheart?" Which son is it? Your sister...... Don't you know? ”

Liuli didn't expect to look at the graceful and generous ladies, and there were times when she gossiped, so she said helplessly: "It's not the son of our town, it's the ...... of my family" Liuli said vaguely, "Although my sister knows, she doesn't agree......"

"Is his family poor? Or something else? ”

Liuli is simply one head and two big, and the consequences of telling the truth, Sun Wan is no longer a matchmaker to promote her cousin, but it completely arouses her interest, pestering Liuli to ask questions and ask questions, and from time to time to give advice.

After saying a lot of true and false, Liuli finally said goodbye to Sun Wan, got out of Sun's mansion, and went directly to the tofu shop, there are some things, she thinks it should be clear to her big sister.

Pearl is waiting anxiously, I used to tell my sister that everyone is a small family, this time it's different, the Sun family is a big family, and Sun Gongzi is also a talent, she feels that Liuli should be satisfied.

"Big sister." Just thinking about it, I heard a familiar shout, and Pearl heard the sound and saw that it was Liuli who had returned.

Her face was overjoyed, and there was some apprehension in her words: "Visible? How's ......"

"Big sister, Liuli has something to say." Liuli said, "Let's go to the inner room." ”

It's a place where people come and go, and it's not the place to talk about it.

"Hey, good." Pearl responded and went to the inner room with Liuli.

As soon as the two sat down, Liuli opened her mouth: "Big sister, don't bother for me anymore, Liuli said that she doesn't want to get married." ”

When Pearl heard this, she was anxious: "But you don't have the Sun Gongzi in your picture?" Don't be afraid, there are so many good sons in the world, you can always find a ...... you like"

"Sister!" Liuli called heavily, "Everyone is the same, in my heart, if you want to get married, you must like each other, not look at each other from a distance, and decide the rest of your life." ”

"But ......," Pearl wanted to say.

Liuli continued: "I know, since ancient times, women have been like this since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of their parents, but I don't want to be like this, if there is no one I like to make Liuli feel worthy of marrying, then Liuli would rather live a lifetime by herself." ”

"How's that going to work?!" Pearl hurriedly retorted, "If a woman does not marry, she will be a desolate grave after death, and there will be no one to worship." ”

Liuli was chic and indifferent: "Who cares about the afterlife before death, what happens after death, and what does it have to do with me now?" ”

"What about when you're old?" Pearl said, "How pitiful it is to have no children under your knees, and to be desolate and desolate. ”

"Could it be that Guiji and Guishu will not recognize me as an aunt when they grow up?" Ruri pretended to be pitiful.

"How dare they?!" Pearl immediately said.

"Isn't this over, there are children with my sister, and there may be children of Amber and Coral in the future, they are all a family, how can I be lonely?" Liuli smiled and quipped, "Besides, with your sister and my current net worth, it is also possible to hire a group of maids and wives to serve them." ”

"How can this be the same, after all, it's not my own child......" Pearl didn't have the slightest intention of joking, and sighed heavily.

"Sister!" Liuli smiled and said with relief, "I'm just talking about extremely special circumstances, I can't really never meet someone I like in my life, maybe I meet tomorrow, and Liuli will marry tomorrow." ”

Pearl suddenly looked into Liuli's eyes: "You tell your sister the truth, don't you still have that Zhao Gongzi in your heart?" ”

Liuli was stunned for a moment, the smile on her lips gradually disappeared, and she slowly spit out a word: "Yes." ”

"You ......" Pearl was angry for a while, "he has already married a wife, do you really want to marry him as a concubine?" ”

"Doesn't my sister know me?" Liuli said, "How can you be a concubine?" ”

"Then you still ......"

"After all, I'm going to ask him personally." Liuli looked at him from afar, "Whether to marry a wife or not, I want to listen to him in person." ”

"What if he confessed it himself?" Pearl asked.

"Then there's nothing to say," Ruri said with a determined look in her eyes, "I'll just think I've never known him." ”

In Beijing, in the side hall of Xingqing Palace, Emperor Zhengxuan was setting up a banquet and summoned Zhao Mingxu alone, which had never been done in the past.

"You and I haven't spoken like this for a long time." Zhengxuan Emperor Dao.

"The minister is fortunate to be summoned by the imperial brother." Zhao Mingxu got up and saluted, without the slightest mistake.

Emperor Zhengxuan's smile faded: "You sit down, why be so polite." ”

"Yes, Brother Emperor Xie." Zhao Mingxu bowed again before sitting down.

"I've heard everything about your house." Emperor Zhengxuan said lightly, "I wanted them to take good care of your body, but I didn't want to be so unlucky." ”

"Ruoxue and the painting are ......", Zhao Mingxu's face was sad, "In the end, it is the minister's brother Fubo." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan took in his emotions, and his expression relaxed: "Don't mention them, it's a big deal that I will choose a few more good ones and send them to you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Zhao Mingxu was first happy, and then his face was sad, "I'm afraid that my brother will be blessed, and I won't be able to stand the grace of the beauties, and I will hurt them in the end." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan burst out laughing, and it happened that the eunuch brought a new dish: "Come and try it, this stewed quail is a good dish in the imperial dining room." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang." After Zhao Mingxu got up again and saluted, he tasted it.

Emperor Zhengxuan waved his hand, also took a bite of food, and said, "Speaking of which, you have been out for several years." ”

Zhao Mingxu put down his chopsticks and replied, "It's been five years." ”

"Whenever the emperor mentions it, she always blames me, saying that I didn't ask you to come back." Emperor Zhengxuan said with a complaining look.

Zhao Mingxu immediately said: "It's the minister's brother who sends his love to the landscape, but he only feels that he is in the countryside, and he is very comfortable, so he is unwilling to come back." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan nodded, and suddenly asked: "Now that so many years have passed, you have also been crowned a prince, are you willing to return to Shangjing?" ”

Zhao Mingxu's heart moved, but a smile appeared on his face: "The younger brother is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, although this Shangjing is good, the rules are also big, and I hope that the imperial brother will allow the younger brother to return to Xingping in the near future." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan's face was expressionless, looking at Zhao Mingxu who was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You don't want to come back, but are you weird?" ”

Zhao Mingxu's face changed, he immediately got up, walked to the front of the case, and knelt down to salute: "Brother don't dare." The younger brother is just used to being free and easy, and he is not willing to be bound by the rules, but the younger brother also knows that the younger brother is not productive outside, and he has no success in the community. ”

After a pause, Zhao Mingxu said again: "If the imperial brother is unwilling...... Raise my useless brother for nothing, and the younger brother will come back. After speaking, he knelt down deeply, waiting for the ruling of Emperor Zhengxuan.

There was silence on the main hall for a while, and the needle drop could be heard.

"Hahaha" After a long time, Emperor Zhengxuan's laughter broke the silence, "What stupid thing did Qinghe say, we are brothers, I am the king of a country, you are my younger brother, naturally you should enjoy glory and wealth." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan also got up, got down from the imperial case, walked to Zhao Mingxu, and personally helped the person up: "It's the emperor's mother who always talks about you, I just have this question, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

Zhao Mingxu got up, his face was terrified, and he was in the eyes of Emperor Zhengxuan, who was very satisfied with his reaction, and said with a smile: "Besides, you are not doing nothing outside, the prayer sutra you copied for me, I feel that my mind is more peaceful when I read it." ”

"Then the courtier will go back and copy some more for the imperial brother." Zhao Mingxu said with sincere fear.

"Hmm." Emperor Zhengxuan nodded, and returned to his seat.

"Brother ...... Do you stay in Shangjing, or do you ......" Zhao Mingxu opened his mouth very uncertainly, with a blank look on his face.

Emperor Zhengxuan smiled: "If you don't want to, you should go back to your mountains and rivers, and the province will be unhappy in Shangjing." ”

"Yes, thank you Brother Huang", Zhao Mingxu looked happy, "The younger brother will pack up his things when he goes back and set off tomorrow." ”

"You're in a hurry", Emperor Zhengxuan laughed at Mimi, "Shouldn't the love for the landscape be fake, for a certain little lady is real." I've heard that you've been pampering a peasant girl. ”

"Brother Chen, Brother ......" Zhao Mingxu was very embarrassed, which made Emperor Zhengxuan laugh again.

When he came out of the palace, it was almost dusk, and Ace drove the carriage of the palace and waited at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Zhao Mingxu, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Childe."

Zhao Mingxu nodded, sat in the car, the moment the curtain was lowered, his eyes changed, and there was no longer the sincere fear and shame in front of Emperor Zhengxuan, Zhao Mingxu at this moment was the real him, deep, firm, and unpredictable.

entered the palace all the way, and when there was no one left and right, Ace dared to show an anxious look: "Why did the emperor pass you, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Mingxu shook his head: "He wants me to go back to Beijing." ”

"What?" Ah Ce was startled, lowered his voice and said, "How could the emperor have such an idea. ”

"Now that the court situation is turbulent, the crown prince and the eldest prince are fighting, and he is not at ease when he puts me outside." Zhao Mingxu said lightly.

"What then? If Gongzi really returns to Shangjing, under the emperor's nose, it will be very inconvenient for us to act. ”

"Don't worry." Zhao Mingxu said, "He promised me that he would leave tomorrow." ”

Ah Ce couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, but before he could let go of this breath, he heard Zhao Mingxu say again: "However, we don't have much time outside, so we have to speed up our actions." ”

I can go back this year, but next year, the year after that, it's really not necessarily.

Liuli waited until the twenty-ninth day of the first month, and finally waited for the carriage of Zhao Mingxu's return.

She didn't care about it, and rushed to Zhao's house as soon as she got the news.

When Zhao Mingxu saw Liuli, the heaviness and boredom of the road were swept away, and the corners of his mouth smiled and said, "What, miss me like this?" As soon as you came back, you came running. ”

Liuli looked at the man's handsome face, and the tired look that couldn't hide the tiring journey even though she smiled, her heart throbbed, she didn't laugh, and her voice was a little wheezing after running: "You have a wife, don't you?" ”

Zhao Mingxu's smile instantly froze at the corner of his lips.

Liuli looked into his eyes, trying to ignore the tiredness between the man's eyebrows, and repeated word by word: "You, have, wife, son, right?" ”

"Who did you listen to?" The man's voice was low, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, but Ruri knew that he was angry.

But Liuli didn't budge at all: "You only said that there is any?" ”

The man stared at Ruri, full of his strange emotions, disappointed, sad, and ...... Refuse.

After a long time, he nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

The moment she heard this word, Liuli's heart hurt fiercely, and something in her eyes was full of things all of a sudden, making her face look at the man blurred: "Eight sedan chairs, Ming Media is marrying?" ”

Zhao Mingxu nodded again: "Yes." ”

The things in his eyes gathered more and more, and finally he couldn't bear it, and it slipped down like rain, and Liuli seemed to be unaware, and asked again: "Did your brother force you to marry?" ”

The man wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears, but halfway through, he paused, and he shook his head: "No." ”

"Okay." Ruri wiped away her tears and tried to pull out a smile that was uglier than crying, "I see." ”

The voice of the man in the "glass ......" revealed a thick suppressed sadness.

"Zhao Qinghe, although I, Song Liuli, am a people's daughter", Liuli tried her best to suppress the choking in her voice, and finished speaking, "I don't want to practice myself, go to be some aunt and concubine, you have a wife and children, let's stop here." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but at the moment he turned around, he was grabbed by the man's arm: "Liuli, I have never had the intention of accepting you as a concubine in my heart." ”

"Heh, hehe" Liuli smiled miserably, "Everything is my own passion, how can Zhao Gongzi look down on a person with a low status like me." ”

Liuli never felt that she was inferior, but at this moment, she was so derogatory to herself, Zhao Mingxu sounded like a knife: "Liuli ......"

"Let it go!" Liuli let out a loud sigh, used the greatest strength in his life to break free from the man's hand, and ran out of Zhao's house without looking back.
