Cao Ran has not been asked to brush the night bucket to do rough work recently, because a few days ago, Mama Xu was not satisfied with Cao Ran's errand to monitor Mrs. Cao Ran's visit to the temple to pray for blessings. arranged Cao Ran in the lady's courtyard, and used Aunt Wei and Chu Bo as a threat, asking Cao Ran to do eyeliner, and report the results to Mama Xu every half month.

Cao Ran has become very idle in everything since she entered the lady's courtyard, and her wife is kind to her, so she naturally can't betray her wife.

For Yuxiu, she was very happy, and pulled Cao Ran to sit on the side of the bed, "Don't worry, in Madame's courtyard, even if Mama Xu is arrogant, she won't dare to make things difficult for you, you squeeze me first, and wait a few days to clean up the next room, and you will move over." ”

Cao Ran looked at Yuxiu's round head crooked and excited, and felt a warmth that had not been seen for a long time, and smiled and flicked Yuxiu's bangs and said, "Okay." ”

Every day, Mrs. Shi was in the Buddhist hall in the courtyard to worship the Buddha, Lin Xi supported the lady who had just finished chanting, Mrs. lowered her voice and asked softly: "Lin Xi, did you find any news yesterday?" ”

Lin Xi's expression was heavy, and he replied in a low voice: "The house where Mama Cao lived back then has changed several families, and the neighbors around her also say that she died in the fire that year. ”

Madame was disappointed in her heart, and sighed deeply and said, "There are no other clues, do you remember how she came to the house?" ”

"At that time, Mrs. and the lord were in love, but no one in the capital knew it, and the queen also felt regretful, and then heard that Mrs. was happy, and the mother sent someone to send Mama Cao to the house to be a nurse." Lin Xi recalled.

Madame pondered for a moment, her eyebrows gradually relaxed, and she said to herself: "Then there is only a way to see Niangniang." ”

Mrs. Qingxinyuan has been deserted for many years, and it can be regarded as a lot of excitement recently, and early in the morning, the concubine Sun Wanrong sent someone to send a batch of brocade for Mrs. to choose and make dresses.

The lady, who originally did not attend any occasion, actually agreed to participate in the feast with the lord three days later to welcome the Liang and the pro-embassy.

This news also shocked Sun Wanrong, in the past, she participated in various occasions as the hostess of Shangshu Mansion, how did the lady suddenly change her mind. Although the lord took care of Sun Wanrong's face and allowed her to participate together, he had to lower his wife in terms of etiquette, as if announcing the identity of her concubine in front of everyone, which was a great humiliation for Sun Wanrong, who had been in charge of the family for many years.

Mrs. Cao Ran took the cloth and thought that the material of this brocade was indeed good, but the patterns of these horses were too vulgar. Aunt Lin Xi's eyes were sharp, and she only glanced at it to understand the catty inside, and directly threw a stack of cloth to the maid who sent the cloth, "It's all about our wife, take the trick that was out of breath a few years ago!" ”

Sun Wanrong's personal maid Qingyi stepped forward to pick up the cloth, glanced up at Lin Xi with disdain, and patted the dust on the brocade, "This is the high-quality fabric that my aunt selected for my wife, Mrs. Qing Xiu doesn't know the hard work of taking care of the expenses in the house on weekdays, Mrs. is a person who worships Buddha in Tsing Yi, presumably the major princes and nobles will not recommend you to wear it." ”

"You dare to be so arrogant, aren't you afraid that the master will know" Lin Xi asked sharply.

With a "snap", Qing Yi's hand slid the brocade and landed on the edge of the table, and there was no trace of panic on his face, "Aunt Lin Xi laughed with the slave maid, the master has already handed over the back house to my master for many years, so he is naturally trustworthy." ”

Madame's eyes signaled Lin Xi not to argue anymore, and waved her hand at Qingyi, "Go down." ”

Lin Xi was unwilling to whisper to Chu Huanniang: "Madam! You have not fought for so many years, this time it is different......"

"That's it! I'm not suitable for attracting attention with my gorgeous clothes, so let's take it and make it. ”

Lin Xi stopped talking and retreated with a few maids.

These few days in Qingxin Garden are the most comfortable days for Cao Ran in recent months, and the time is so fast that people don't notice it.

Originally, Mrs. Lin Xi should only take Aunt Lin Xi to serve when she entered the palace for the banquet, but unfortunately Lin Xi's mother was seriously ill and Mrs. allowed her to return to her hometown to visit, and Yuxiu felt cold again, so Cao Ran had to serve.

The princes and ministers in front of Qihua Gate got off the sedan chair one after another, and after greeting each other, they walked into the palace with their families, and the majestic and magnificent palace feather pavilion made people feel awe. Cao Ran followed behind his wife, the three-foot-square bluestone slab under his feet was as smooth as a mirror, and everyone's footsteps made a unanimous "da-da" sound.

The banquet to welcome the mission was held in the Chonghua Palace, although the main hall was not splendid, but the dragon pillar Qin Tian in the hall was magnificent and majestic, and people couldn't help but be in awe.

Cao Ran had just followed his wife into the palace and stopped, when he heard the eunuch's scream: "King Qi has arrived!" "All the officials saluted when they heard it", see His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

Cao Ran also bowed his head with his wife, Qi Wang Yuwen was born to the queen and the emperor's favorite son, and most of the courtiers were optimistic about King Qi as the future prince.

"In recent years, the border disputes between the Great Liang and our country have continued, and now although the Northern Yan army is growing and eyeing our country, but the Great Liang at this time proposed to form an alliance with his relatives, this time it will definitely show the elite of our dynasty's civil and military forces, the essence of the civil and military strategy, the glory of the palace treasury, and the health of thousands of people!" King Qi's voice was strong and passionate, and the ministers echoed for a while.

Cao Ran felt that King Qi's voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Cao Ran was trying her best to think about the source of this familiar feeling, and through the layers of backs, she saw the hands of King Qi behind his back kneading and kneading, this action was very familiar to her, she was a college classmate with her boyfriend Yu Wenqiao when she was in college, and she would do this whenever he thought or gave a speech.

At this time, Cao Ran was so excited that she almost rushed over directly!

"King Yue, the prince of Daliang, brought the delegation into the palace!" When the ministers heard this, they all avoided it.

There were five people who came, and the one who walked in front was Zhu Xuan, the king of Liang Yue, who came to King Qi and respectfully performed the level salute, "His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

King Qi returned the salute slightly, "You and I have never met, how do you know that I am King Qi." ”

King Yue smiled faintly: "In today's Jin country, except for Xuan Wang Yu Wenhua, only King Qi will be so majestic and heroic." ”

King Qi stroked his sleeves, and said in a displeased tone: "King Yue is serious, this king's military strategy is indeed inferior to King Xuan, but compared with your Liang, my prince of the Jin Kingdom is still a many." ”

King Qi bowed sideways, and the whole face that slowly turned around shocked Cao Ran, this King Qi looked the same as her boyfriend, could it be that he had crossed over like himself? And he has become a prince!

Cao Ran has a lot of thoughts in his heart at the moment, although Yuwen Miao betrayed himself, but in the current world, he seems extremely familiar and kind. In a moment, a lot of speculation drifted through her mind, if King Qi was really her boyfriend, would she forgive him, and how would she face it.

She wanted to find an opportunity to meet with King Qi alone to ask clearly, but if it was just a coincidence, King Qi was just King Qi, how could she explain all this.

Cao Ran, who was at a loss, kept his eyes on King Qi's every move, thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch.
