Jingshi, the gate of the city.

For some reason, Liluo always doesn't like parting in her heart, she doesn't know if it's related to her mother's departure, she always feels in her heart that people who go away have a purpose in their eyes, and people who stay where they are and watch the old people leave are often the most uncomfortable.

At this moment, she looked at Han Zhen and Han Di'er's convoy at the city gate, and she was a little depressed. When she was young, she once thought that the family could live together forever, and the sudden death of her mother has always been a hurdle in her heart. If it weren't for her father finding something to do for her, she would probably have been immersed in that kind of grief.

Han Dier happily said goodbye to the Wei family and the two Wei sisters, looking still so happy. The mother of the Wei family, who is also the mother of Wei Xueyi and Wei Jingmei, for some reason, likes Han Dier very much, and clamored for her to stay in Beijing for a few more days, and also gave Han Dier a lot of food to take on the road, which made Han Dier a little happy.

When she walked in front of Liluo, Han Di'er suddenly leaned on Liluo's shoulder with some loss, her little nose was red, "Sister Liluo, I'm going back to Quzhou, you have to take care of yourself in Jingshi, don't be bullied." ”

Liluo also patted Han Di'er on the shoulder, I didn't expect this sister to care about people, "When you get to Quzhou, don't be naughty and willful, do your homework well, otherwise Brother Han Zhen will talk about you again." ”

Han Di'er only leaned on her shoulder and didn't speak, and after a while she said in a hoarse voice, "When I arrive in Quzhou, I'll be alone, and no one will play with me at that time." ”

After Zimi heard it on the side, she really wanted to tell her that it was you who always harmed other people, so they didn't play with you, and our young lady was honest and willing to go out with you every time. But thinking that Han Di'er was also the only fellow villager in their Beijing Division, she was so suddenly going to leave Zimi's heart was empty.

Liluo had no choice but to comfort Han Di'er and said, "If you have the opportunity, come to Jingshi to find me, no matter how you get into trouble, I am your sister and will accompany you." After speaking, he hooked her little nose, "But you can't be so willful in the future, and you can't go to dangerous places." Handier immediately nodded in agreement.

Han Zhen was dressed in a Buddha-headed green face today, with a navy blue tiger stripe belt tied around his waist, but his face was a little tired, he walked to Liluo and Han Di'er, and said to them, "Di'er, go and wait for me in the carriage." ”

Although Handier was a little reluctant, her brother's words had to be listened to, she pursed her lips and walked towards the carriage dissatisfied.

Liluo looked at Han Zhen with some concern, "Brother Han Zhen, I see that your face is not good, is there a problem with military funds?" ”

Han Zhen shook his head, trying his best to make his face look a little better, "The military is very smooth, you don't have to worry about this, but you, there are so many cases in Jingshi, you have to pay special attention to safety, remember my words, and protect yourself first in any situation." ”

"Well," Liluo nodded, she suddenly remembered what happened in Runzhou, "I heard from Deputy Lieutenant Liang that Jiang Duai's body was not found in Jiang, so, Brother Han Zhen, you don't have to be too disappointed, Miss Jiang may not be dead." ”

After Han Zhen heard this, his expression didn't seem very happy, he seemed to know some hidden secrets but was reluctant to say it, "Liluo, everyone has their own destiny, Miss Jiang, she has already chosen her own destiny, you don't have to worry too much, there are too few things you can do in life." After he finished speaking, there seemed to be a deep sense of helplessness.

Liluo seemed to understand something, and seeing that Han Zhen didn't want to say more, it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

Han Zhen seemed to think of something, "Mother," he said with some embarrassment, "Mother wrote a letter saying that she had already fallen in love with me for a family affair, and if she went home this time to fall in love, she might have to set a wedding date." ”

Seeing that the person in front of her had forced her to move forward, she was slightly shocked in her heart, but she also suddenly understood that Han Zhenxu had already met Jiang Dui, and she also gave up a trace of thought in her heart. She nodded and smiled sweetly, "If the wedding date is set, remember to write in advance, I will definitely go over to ask for a glass of wine." ”

Han Zhen nodded, and after being silent for a while, he took his leave, and the convoy gradually disappeared from his eyes. Looking at their backs, Riluo sincerely hoped that she would be able to meet them again soon.

Kyoshi, Imperial Palace.

According to the usual practice today, Jing Yu hurried to Jingyang Palace after meeting his father and queen, which was his mother's bedroom, he was wearing a dark green court dress today, and his face was still cold.

In his heart, the crown prince Jinglan has always been the best candidate for the throne, but his father's attitude is still unpredictable, he has obviously let the prince take power, so that he has full authority to deal with the flood in Beijing, but he has always been affectionate in the court, snubbing Jinglan, in the long run, if there is a suspicion between their brothers, I am afraid that his life in Beijing will be even more difficult.

The Pei family is becoming more and more prosperous, coupled with the promotion of the queen mother, I am afraid that he will continue to be pushed into the limelight, and the efforts to stay away from the court that have been skillfully operated for many years will be wasted, and he will inexplicably begin to be irritable in his heart.

In Jingyang Palace, her mother, as in the past, is sitting in front of the desk to make fragrance, she has lived in the inner palace for many years, and likes to raise some flowers and plants to adjust the fragrance as a pastime, but Jing Yu knows in her heart that her mother's calm appearance hides a heart that is unwilling to be left behind.

"Wanblessed, Queen Mother," Jing Yu said hello behind the curtain.

After hearing Jing Yu's voice, Pei Guifei immediately stood up happily. Pei Guifei's body has not been good after giving birth to Jingyu, only Jingyu has one child, but this son likes to run around for many years, so that her mother's heart hangs all the time, "Come in and smell the latest fragrance of your mother." ”

Just when Jing Yu was about to come in, a girl in a pink dress walked in from the opposite door with a large handful of pink impatiens in her hand, she looked smart and generous, after seeing Jing Yu, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and gave him a salute from afar, Jing Yu only nodded slightly in return, this person is Pei Jia, the daughter of Pei Mansion.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood, and she took the flower in her hand and said coquettishly to Concubine Pei, "Auntie, take a look, today's Impatiens Grass is very good, you can make it fragrant later and let Jia'er take it back, the sisters in the family are very envious." ”

Concubine Pei Guifei has been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't want to move around with other concubines more, so she is very fond of this niece, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you later." ”

If this happened two years ago, maybe Jing Yu would still be a little tempted, although he and Pei Jia did not have a marriage on the surface, but they were regarded as a couple early, Pei Jia is the eldest daughter of Pei's family, and she is both talented and beautiful, and she will make her mother happy, he has been silent since he was a child, and his mother has long had the idea of letting him take Pei Jia as a concubine, but unfortunately, as he grew older and saw through some things, he became more and more respectful of Pei Jia.

"Recently, the Jingshi has not been peaceful, and the palace has not been in good health in recent days, so when I come back this time, I will stay longer." Pei Guifei's tone towards Jing Yu seemed to be negotiating, but in fact, there was not much room for him to fight back.

"Well, I plan to stay in Jingshi during this time." Jing Yu replied.

If her son protested, Pei Guifei could also say a few more words, but unfortunately his reply always made her unable to speak more.

Pei Guifei originally wanted to ask Jing Yu about the situation of going to court today, but seeing Jing Yu's expression seemed to be a little unkind, and she also knew that he didn't like to discuss government affairs with her, so she asked about some bits and pieces of three meals a day, and mentioned herself as she spoke, "It has been raining a lot lately, and I often feel pain in my back and back." ”

"It's because my son is not filial, and I don't often come to greet my mother." Jing Yu replied.

"Bengong also knows that you want to do something to show your father and brother, but Bengong is old and there is no caring person around him, so he often looks forward to you getting married as soon as possible and having a son and a half daughter." After speaking, he took Pei Jia's hand, Pei Jia did not refuse, only bowed his head slightly.

Jing Yu looked at it and straightened up slightly, "It's not early, cousin, you go back early, I have something I want to tell my mother alone." ”

Pei Jia looked up at Jing Yu, saw the firm look in his eyes, and understood what Jing Yu meant in her heart, she bowed to Pei Guifei and said goodbye, and then walked outside Jingyang Palace with a group of maids.

After Pei Jia walked out of the palace gate, Pei Guifei immediately put down the work in her hand, let all the palace people go out, and faced Jing Yu alone, her expression was a little excited, "This palace doesn't understand, what is wrong with Pei Jia, why are you just unwilling to accept this marriage." ”

Jing Yu was still silent, a little unmoved.

Seeing that her son still didn't change her mind, she calmed down and said patiently, "There are wolf ambitions everywhere in the court, and even the second prince Jing Bai, who has a cheap life, is ready to move, why are you so stubborn?" The Pei family is now becoming more and more prosperous, if you don't have your back against this big tree, why do you want to gain a foothold in the government and the opposition, and if you catch a few more thieves, the saint is now more and more favored Concubine Tong, who has just entered the palace, Concubine Tong will give birth next month, and if you give birth to a prince, it is inevitable that your and my status will not be shaken. ”

If you don't know Pei Jia's true side, maybe Jingyu will consider her mother's thoughts, two years ago, Princess Wuning's hosta was lost, Pei Jia was at the scene, she obviously saw the murderer, but she didn't come out to identify it, but let Princess Wuning almost kill a wronged little maid in public, this was what his subordinates told him afterwards, and since then, he has stayed away from Pei Jia.

What moved him even more was that Pei Jia was obviously inclined to Shen Muzhou, but he still pretended to be interested in himself all the time, and came to his mother from time to time to hint. She intended to give porridge at the gate of the city, wasn't she just waiting for Shen Muzhou to come back from the northwest? What other melody around Yuliang is all about Shen Muzhou, Shen Muzhou is unwilling to marry her, does she think she will marry her?

He remembered in his heart that about a year and a half ago, he accidentally bumped into Pei Jia in the palace and confessed his heart to Shen Muzhou, and at that moment, he completely gave up on this person in his heart.

"Queen Mother, my son will not marry Pei Jia, this has never changed my son, and you don't want to worry about Pei Jia anymore. Pei Jia is the noble daughter of Peimen, he can marry high in the future, and his son has no interest in court affairs since he was a child, and just wants to be exiled to the rivers and lakes. After saying that, seeing his mother's face full of anger, he didn't want to argue any more, so he just bowed his hand and took his leave.

Jing Yu rode a horse and galloped outside the palace gate, what imperial power, what noble women, what glory and wealth, he is not rare, life in the world, if you can't do what you want to do, marry your beloved woman, then what's the point of everything?
