Zhou Houyuan cleaned up, and then hugged the baby and came over with Yu Furui to say goodbye.

Staying in this palace, Yu Furui is better, after all, she used to enter the palace often, but for her uncle and Lu Zhengqing, it is not such a pleasant thing.

Ruotang was still a little relieved. asked Zhou Houyuan: "Is it really okay for my cousin to go out of the palace like this with the children?"

Zhou Houyuan didn't bother to answer her, and directly showed her the specially customized super large and super luxury carriage that had just come in from outside the palace, with soft mattresses and quilts, brazier and silver charcoal prepared. "This carriage is also shock-proof, so it won't bump your cousin or the children."

Ruotang relieved his mind at this time, "It's good that my cousin can lie down and rest inside." ”

Not to mention that this carriage can fit one Zhou Liangyun, even if there are four or five more, there is no problem at all. Thinking of these things, my uncle and Lu Zhengqing will definitely do their best to arrange them, but they are really worried about it in vain, and they can't help but feel a little embarrassed, "You insist on going back, and I don't want to keep you." When I am born, I will go out of the palace to see you. ”

Zhou Houyuan thought for a while and said, "It's okay." Let us know as soon as there is any news. ”

Soon, Lu Zhengqing arranged for someone to lift Zhou Liangyun out of the house in a warm sedan chair, without blowing any wind, and directly lifted it up into the warm carriage, and the children also followed the car tightly, and after everyone said goodbye one by one, the carriage slowly started.

Ruotang stood in place, watching the carriage go out of the distance. Still refusing to take his eyes back.

Chu Qianlan stood beside her, holding her hand, and didn't make a sound to urge her.

Naturally, they also have to have a holiday during the Spring Festival, and there are no other activities in the palace except for Bailihuang and the queen on the first day of the new year.

Because of Zhou Liangyun's sudden launch, they even forgot about it. It wasn't until Cai Qing came to inquire uneasily that Ruotang remembered this matter and immediately looked at Chu Qianlan inquiringly.

"Don't worry, last night's incident happened suddenly, Your Majesty can understand. Besides, haven't you already seen the queen in the morning? They won't mind those false courtesies, let's go back to make up for sleep. ”

"You really don't mind?" Ruotang didn't believe it, Baili Huang didn't look like a person who wouldn't mind.

Chu Qianlan's face was affirmative, and she replied succinctly: "No!"

Well, Ruotang said she believed his words! Anyway, even if Bai Lihuang really minds, there is still Chu Qianlan in front of him, and there is this talisman in his stomach, Bai Lihuang will not do anything to her even if he is mad.

Thinking of this, Ruotang also followed Chu Qianlan back to make up for sleep with peace of mind.

……

At this time, Bai Li Huang, who Chu Qianlan would not mind, stretched his neck to look out of the palace gate, not only to maintain his upright and majestic image, but also impatiently, he couldn't help but glance at the queen who was drinking tea slowly with her eyes down, but she couldn't hold back in the end, and coughed lightly: "Aren't all the people of the Zhou family out of the palace." Why haven't the two of them come over yet? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the several red lacquered wooden trays held by the waiter on the side, and felt that he should hate these rewards that he had prepared sincerely—no matter how rich the Zhou family was, these things were all transported back from far away from the South China Sea, and they were extremely rare and good things!

After reading what I prepared. I went to look at the things that the palace ladies behind the queen were holding in their hands, and nodded secretly, whether it was color or quality, it was not ordinary. Bai Lihuang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, the Zhou family's properties in the Kingdom of Liuguo all fell into the hands of the queen, and she is no worse than him now!

It's really blind, knowing that the Zhou family has a lot of good things, and he has prepared the best everything, but the things he prepared are a little dwarfed. If it was Concubine Shu, she would definitely not suppress his limelight like this, and she would definitely line his mind everywhere......

Thinking of Concubine Shu, Bai Lihuang's expression couldn't help but darken.

She forgot everything, and he naturally knew about the departure of the Imperial Doctor from the Ryuk Kingdom. When he learned that Concubine Shu had forgotten everything, he was not without impulses in his heart - since she had forgotten, and it was also a matter of starting over with the Imperial Doctor, why couldn't he do it again with him?

He even sent people to Huangfu Zhong's residence, wanting to snatch the ignorant Concubine Shugui back to the palace.

Thinking of this, Bai Lihuang's expression was a little uncomfortable, and his face was ugly - the people he sent out were all blocked by his bastard prince, not to mention snatching away Concubine Shu, and he didn't even touch the corner of Concubine Shu's clothes. He is not thick-skinned enough, except for finding another reason to reprimand Chu Qianlan fiercely, he can't tell Chu Qianlan directly, go and bring your mother back to me.

He also knew in his heart that he had ruined her happiness for so many years, and now that she and the Huangfu Zhong had renewed their relationship, he had no face to destroy it again, and he also had the idea that it would be better to fulfill the two of them. If he was young, he would not have given an inch. Probably when people are old, they have to hold their grandchildren, and this ruthlessness is not as good as when they were young, as if the older they get, the softer their hearts will be.

As a monarch, he thought, this is never a good sign.

The chamberlain who went to the East Palace finally came back, but his face was a little worried, and he knelt down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have already slept." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said...... Say ......"

Bai Lihuang's forehead reflexively jumped, but in the end he still calmed down, "What did he say?" ”

The chamberlain buried his head deeply, so that he could smoothly relay the words of His Royal Highness the Prince: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after being busy all night, aren't Your Majesty and Niangniang tired?" There is nothing else to do on the first day of the new year, please rest with your majesty. ”

Bai Lihuang's hand holding the pen was suddenly tight.

But before he could get up, the queen had already got up lightly and bowed lightly in the direction of Baili Huang, "In this case, the concubine will retire first." ”

I'm leaving.

Bai Lihuang only felt a breath of qi rushing straight up from the dantian, "Queen, stop me!" ”

The queen seemed a little surprised, but she still stood obediently, "I wonder what else Your Majesty has to order?" ”

"I naturally have orders!" As soon as Bai Lihuang saw her happy and relaxed appearance, he felt angry in his heart, what is this woman doing? He has already shown favor so obviously, he is the lord of the Ryuk country, and he is willing to lower his body to show his favor, she is not grateful to Dade, even if she is not grateful, she still looks uncomfortable staying in the same place with him, does she dare to dislike him?

Just being looked at by the queen's smiling look, Bai Lihuang inexplicably felt his heart skip a beat, looked at her proudly, and said: "Anyway, it's okay for you to go back, I remember that your chess skills are good, and accompany me to play two games."

"Please forgive the concubine for not being able to play chess with you." The queen was blessed, "There are still many things to be busy in the concubine's Zhengyang Palace, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, because Mrs. Lu's birth has been delayed, but the concubine should return to Zhengyang Palace at this time. ”

Bai Li Huang snorted coldly, "Spread my will, let them all wait for me!" ”

The attendants around him hurriedly took orders.

Bai Lihuang raised his eyes and glanced at the queen with some pride, "Now the queen has time to play chess with me?" ”

The queen's expression was faint, "The concubine's chess skills are not good, if she sweeps away Your Majesty's interest, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Bai Lihuang waved his hand impatiently to interrupt her, "The daughter of the Shangguan family, where else can you be fine?" ”

His words were obviously a bit ironic, because back then, it was not a secret that the Shangguan family raised the girl as a crown princess.

The queen saw that she could not shirk it, so she had to sit down as she said.

The chessboard was quickly set up, and Baili Huang let the queen take the cigarette first.

After a while, "Do you know how to play chess, who has put the pieces in that position?" ”

The queen picked up the chess pieces and put them in another place at will.

Bai Lihuang's eyelids jumped, "You can't put this place either!" ”

The queen said "oh", picked up the chess pieces again, looked at it this time, and then tried to put the chess pieces to one of the points while looking at Bailihuang, and saw that Bailihuang did not jump like thunder, so the queen did not hesitate to drop the piece.

Bai Lihuang closed his eyes vigorously, took a deep breath, and threw the white son in his hand back into the chess jar irritably, looking out of sight, "Since the queen still wants to see the other concubines, let's go, I won't delay the queen's business!" ”

The queen got up very calmly: "Let Your Majesty see it smile." Your Majesty take care, and the concubines retire. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out without hesitation.

On the way back to Zhengyang Palace, the grandmother who was holding the queen asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, you are obviously proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why did you deliberately ...... in front of His Royal Highness?"

The queen said lightly: "You see, after so many years, he doesn't even know if this palace really can't play chess." If he wants Bengong to play chess, does Bengong have to play chess with him? This palace is not used to his stinky temper! ”

"He is Your Majesty after all, now that Concubine Shu is gone, His Majesty has favored Concubine Shu over the years, although there are new concubines in the palace, His Majesty has not looked at it. Now in this palace, all the old people from the back then are gone, I am afraid that only you can say a few words to Your Majesty, and even the slaves and maids can see that Your Majesty wants to ...... with you Why should you bother to reconcile with you? "Mama really had some difficulty understanding the queen's behavior.

"Why bother with him?" The queen curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled mockingly.

"The mother forgives the sin, and the slave and the maid have overpassed." Mama hurriedly lowered her head and pleaded guilty.

The queen waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to be so afraid, she seemed to be out of her mind for a while, and then said quietly: "This palace also hoped that in the cold winter wax moon, someone could hand this palace a bowl of hot soup to warm the heart and lungs of this palace, but I didn't look forward to it for so many years, this palace has long been dead, when the heart and lungs of this palace have been strong enough to not be afraid of any severe cold, at this time, that person will give this palace a bowl of overdue hot soup, will this palace still be rare?"

She didn't care whether her grandmother understood it or not, and she smiled again: "This palace has long been unnecessary."

……

Winter goes to spring.

When the pear blossoms in the garden began to wither, Ruotang's belly became round like a balloon that was blown. Every day, she would come to the garden for a walk and do a simple set of radio gymnastics - this is the method that Chu Qianlan borrowed from Lu Zhengqing, and he hoped that Ruotang would be able to give birth to the baby in her belly as quickly and safely as Zhou Liangyun when she gave birth.

Ruotang came out with Jixiang today, Ruotang commanded Jixiang to pick up the clean pear petals, and said with a smile: "This is the last pear blossom in spring, pick it up and let's eat steamed cakes at noon."

Jixiang still had a delicate little face, but he couldn't help but swallow.

Ruotang couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard a loud "grunt", and was afraid that Ji Xiang would be embarrassed if he was thin-skinned, so he changed the topic and asked, "How has your brother been preparing lately?"

Ji Xiang's little face was still red, and seeing that Ruotang didn't make fun of her, the blush faded slightly, and she was still expressionless, "The new house has been bought, it's very new and new, as long as you take care of it, you can live in it." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Ruotang with blank eyes.

Ruotang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, what's the use of looking at me?" It's not that I don't agree with them getting married, it's that Cai Qing herself refuses to agree, I can't force her to agree by pressing her head, right? ”

Ji Xiang frowned seriously and said, "However, Cai Qing likes my brother."

"Oh?" Ruotang is interested, and even auspiciousness can be seen? "How do you know?"

"Peek." Ji Xiang said seriously, "Every time my brother comes over, Cai Qing has a peek at my brother. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ruotang asked knowingly.

Even Jixiang found out, how could Ruotang not find out?

Jixiang finally couldn't help but be anxious, as soon as she got up, there was still no expression on her face, but her little face turned red again, "It's true!" ”

"Good, good, true." Ruotang was afraid that she would burst her blood vessels in a hurry, so he hurriedly comforted her: "Of course I believe your words." But auspicious, Cai Qing refuses to nod, what do you want me to do? ”

Jixiang thought for a moment and suggested, "Order her!"

Ruotang shook his head, "You know that Cai Qing and I have different feelings, I once swore that I would never force her to do anything she didn't want to do - of course I can order her, but Jixiang, don't you think it's best for Cai Qing to willingly agree to marry Ruyi?" ”

Ji Xiang tilted his head, as if wondering if Ruotang's words made sense, "Then, what should my brother do?" ”

The day after Ruyi relayed Ruotang's words to him, he begged to come to Ruotang, although he was still a paralyzed face, but his sincerity in asking to marry Caiqing could still be seen by Ruotang. originally thought that Lang had a concubine intention, and the two naturally came together, but who knows, Cai Qing stopped doing it.

At this moment, not only was Ruyi stunned, but Ruotang was also stunned. However, no matter how she tried in private, Cai Qing closed her mouth tightly this time, like a clam shell, no matter how Ruotang pried it, she couldn't pry it open. Ruyi is naturally anxious, otherwise he would not let Jixiang come to ask Ruotang.

Ruotang thought for a moment when he heard this, "This is a matter for the two of them, maybe it would be more effective for them to deal with it themselves." Auspicious, you should trust your brother. ”

Cai Qing likes Ruyi, and refusing to marry Ruyi must be because there is some knot in his heart - Ruotang suddenly remembered the night Cai Qing was carried back by Ruyi, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. See the pill technique.

Probably only Ruyi can untie the knot in the heart of mining green.

……

It's the weather of late spring, Cai Qing is busy looking through Ruotang's summer shirt, the summer in Liuguo is really too hot, get ready early, and then you won't be in a hurry.

Chu Qianlan hadn't come back yet, thinking that there was an important state affair to discuss with Bailihuang, Ruotang took the book, and after reading it for a while, he felt bored, and after putting the book down, his eyes fell on Cai Qing, who was busy.

Cai Qing has raised some meat these days, but Xu is at an age, her height has also been pumped a lot, and when she walks with Ruotang, she is half a head taller than Ruotang. You must know that she was about the same height as Ruotang before. Maybe it's because of the strip, it's no longer as strong as before, and the girl's figure is undoubtedly revealed, but she is also a slender and delicate little beauty.

At this moment, a cat meow suddenly sounded outside.

Cai Qing, who was busy, was stagnant, subconsciously glanced outside, and immediately withdrew his gaze as if he was a little weak-hearted, and looked towards Ruotang.

Ruotang had already picked up the scroll, pretending that he hadn't heard anything and hadn't seen anything.

Cai Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, took two steps with her clothes in her hands, bit her lip, and finally turned around, "Niangniang, think about the pastries in the small kitchen, and the slave will go over and take a look." ”

"Go, go, go." Ruotang didn't look at her, she looked completely immersed in the scroll.

Cai Qing blessed her, turned around and walked out quickly.

"Stinky girl," Ruotang scolded with a smile at her back: "I'd rather have a private meeting with someone than give someone a call, what are you thinking?"

"What is a private meeting with someone? Who has a private meeting with someone? Chu Qianlan, who was entering the door, just listened to Ruotang's words, and thought of Cai Qing, who was in a hurry to go out and almost bumped into him, and suddenly realized: "Ruyi, this guy has entered the palace again?"

"Yes." Ruotang held his waist and got up to greet him, but let Chu Qianlan come over in three or two steps and held her hand.

Ruotang smiled at him: "I just learned the wild cat to bark outside, and I don't want to think about where the wild cat came from in this palace." When he called, Cai Qing still had the heart to do things, so he hurriedly ran out. ”

Chu Qianlan held Ruotang's hand with one hand and helped her waist with the other, "But do you want to get up and walk around?" ”

"It's a bit too much for dinner, and I'm trying to take two steps around." If it was in the past, Chu Qianlan would definitely not allow her to move around more. In fact, the imperial doctors in the palace now disagree with her daily walks and exercises, thinking that she is messing around, and there has never been a noble person in the palace who dares not to take the child in her belly seriously like her. Ruotang didn't argue with them, after all, the palace concubines served by the imperial doctors were all squeamish, and they were nervous about dragon seeds or something, so they naturally had to lie in bed for ten months as soon as they became pregnant, as if this was the only way to keep the child.

Ruotang thinks that walking around every day, and then doing simple health exercises, her spirit seems to be much better, she looks in the mirror every day, just like seeing Zhou Liangyun before giving birth, and her face is full of healthy ruddy color.

Chu Qianlan rolled her eyes and squeezed her hand, "Do you want to listen to a corner?" ”

Ruotang was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, and said with great interest and embarrassment: "This is not good, right?"

"If there's anything bad, just don't let Cai Qing find out." Chu Qianlan didn't have the slightest hint of peeping at other people's hearts, and encouraged Ruotang to say, "Don't you want to hear what they say?"

Ruotang shook violently, "I want to hear it." But my body is heavy, and my steps must be very heavy, but I'm afraid that before I get closer, Ruyi will find us. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Chu Qianlan had already led her out, "He didn't dare to demolish us." ”

Ruotang: "......"

So what kind of eavesdropping is this? Didn't you listen openly? Is that really good? Don't you feel embarrassed?

Well, Ruotang was ashamed in his heart, but the excitement on his face was no less than that of Chu Qianlan.

The small kitchen that was reflected by the stove fire reflected two figures, one tall and one short, Ruotang was slandering in his heart, is this young girl stupid, such a bright place, is she blind when everyone else is blind?

Just as he was thinking, the fire on the stove suddenly went out, and the kitchen, which was still bright, immediately became dark. It turns out that this girl is not stupid!

When Ruotang and Chu Qianlan quietly approached, they eavesdropped on the conversation inside the crack in the door, and just happened to hear Cai Qing ask softly in a tone that seemed to be relieved and joyful: "You really, don't mind at all?"

Ruyi's tone was still calm, "That's not your fault, I don't mind at all." ”

"Then ......" There was silence in the room for a while, and Ruotang heard Cai Qing pluck up his courage and ask in a whisper and shyness in an almost trembling voice: "You, what do you like about me?"

Ruyi was also silent, and after a long time, Ruotang didn't hear her speak, let alone Cai Qing, even Ruotang was anxious about his emotional intelligence, at this time, casually say something "because you are cute", "because you are kind", "because I just like you", any answer is good, what does it mean to be so silent? Don't you know why you like to pick green? 360 Search: Xiangwang Ruthless is updated quickly

Ruotang heard Cai Qing's heavy anger, obviously, this girl was about to explode.

At this time, Ruyi said slowly: "I don't know what I like about you, but that day, you took a kitchen knife to trouble me, knowing that you couldn't hurt me, and you slashed at me again and again...... Later, I always remembered what you were like that day. ”

Ruotang covered her mouth violently, obviously she also remembered the embarrassed way she looked that day.

She clearly felt that Cai Qing that day was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect it to be very cute in Ruyi's eyes. Or does he like girls to look at him with kitchen knives? What kind of strange hobby is this...... No, she must be thinking too much!

"What." Obviously, Cai Qing also thought that her appearance and behavior that day were stupid, how could anyone like her because of her fierce appearance? After a pause, he asked, "Really?"

I didn't hear Ruyi's answer, so I guess he nodded instead of answering.

After a while, Cai Qing's small voice sounded again, "Then, are your dowry ready?" ”
