King Qin, Jin Xiang, Wei Xiang and others discussed the matter of celebrating the victory, returned to the palace, and entered the second gate, Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, "A few years ago, Niangniang called me over and asked Jiu Niangzi. ”

King Qin paused violently, "What are you asking her for?" At the Great Xiangguo Temple, A-Niang really wanted to see Axia? ”

"Looks like it." Lu Yi hung her head and didn't look at King Qin, "Niangniang asked very carefully, when was the first time the prince saw Jiu Niangzi, where was it, and the situation at that time, I asked for half an hour, and I told it." When I came out, I asked Huang Daban, how did the Queen Mother remember to ask about Jiu Niangzi, Huang Daban said, "

Lu Yi looked up at King Qin, who was listening intently, extremely focused.

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, a few sisters of Jiu Niangzi, Mrs. Huo, and Xu Huan went to Dulegang to admire the moon, and Jiang Yanshi rushed over and played the flute for Jiu Niangzi."

King Qin's face turned slightly pale.

"After I came back, I asked Ruan's to probe the words of the sixth lady, and the sixth lady didn't even know about the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Ruan said that before the Spring Festival, there was a time when Mrs. Yan gossiped with her, saying that when Axia was beaten, Jiang Yanshi personally picked up a lot of things and sent them over, including a Jianzhan, Jiang Yanshi attached a note, saying that he got a total of two, one for himself to play, and one for Jiuniangzi to enjoy."

Lu Yi looked at King Qin's face.

King Qin's face seemed to be calmer than just now, with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, he only strode forward.

It wasn't until he entered the courtyard of the study that King Qin stood at the door of the upper room, hung his head for a while, and then looked at Lu Yi, "I know what you mean, the humble words are about the same as you, you said once, the world is difficult, if you can have a happy person who knows each other every day, it will not be too bitter, this is what the humble words have also said." ”

Lu Yi looked at King Qin silently.

"When Axia was very young, she was very sensible and smart, I took her as a sister, and I didn't treat her as a sister." King Qin's words paused, and it took a long time before he continued: "In the past few years, I have often thought about and measured, which ones I can give, and which ones, I can't give, Ah Xia just can't give it, I can't let her be hurt, I can't give it up." ”

Lu Yi opened his mouth, but swallowed it back.

"What we are doing, what we are doing in the future, how difficult it is, you and me, and our humble words, are all clear, how much do you think it will be successful?" King Qin looked at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi avoided King Qin's gaze, "This is where the Mandate of Heaven lies......"

"You and I both know it, it's a success, think about the best, one in a hundred, this year is the emperor's fortieth birthday, and in the future, I don't know how many years it will be difficult, or ......" The latter words, King Qin didn't say anything, or the house was full of blood.

"I don't want to drag her in, she's so smart, her eyes look at you, as if she sees through everything, she's smarter than Nguyen, much smarter. I can't drag her into our crisis, I hope she will be safe and happy all her life, as she is now, playing and hanging out every day, not often getting into trouble, the biggest trouble is just what to do if the elders are angry, no need to think about it, no need to be afraid, and no blood on her hands. ”

King Qin's voice became lower and lower, low to the dust.

"What if she marries Jiang Yanshi?" Lu Yi looked at King Qin.

"What do you mean?" King Qin looked at Lu Yi.

"I can't see it." Lu Yi met King Qin's gaze and said frankly, the queen mother's meaning, even if you can see it, is what the queen mother wants him to see. "However, as soon as Huang Daban asked, he said that Niangniang at least wanted you to know Jiang Yanshi's intentions."

"I told Ah Xia, Jiang Yanshi is not suitable, she can understand what I mean, Xiao Gu is the best, when will the relationship between the Seventh Lady and Tang Jiaxian be settled?"

"Say it's the end of April and the beginning of May." Lu Yi replied quickly.

"This war will be until the end of autumn at the earliest, and it will come back in the middle of the year, and it will be decided before the end of the year." King Qin lowered his eyes and looked at the light and shadow of the lantern shaking under the steps, the Gu family was the best choice he had picked up until now, but Xiao Gu was too fond of beauty...... Forget it, there's no such thing as perfect.

……………………

This year's Shangyuan Festival, because of the two great victories, the excitement is beyond words, the emperor is in a very good mood, and he has ordered several times in a row, to be lively and festive, Zheng Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of all things in this year's Shangyuan Festival, naturally wants to do his best, early in the morning, the city is already lively.

Ruan Qiqi said a few days ago that he had something to discuss with the sixth lady on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Li Wenshan said unceremoniously that he had to accompany Tang Jiarui to take a good look at the lights, Xu Huan insisted that he would have to know how to write on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, although Guo Sheng said that he was idle, but after all, he was an outsider, and it was not appropriate to accompany Li Xia and Li Wennan's sisters alone.

This Shangyuan Festival, Li Xia and Li Wennan were very obedient and didn't mention the requirement to go out to the streets at all, Mrs. Yan was very satisfied, these two children, when they should be sensible, they are sensible.

Li Wenlan heard that his uncle wanted to know how to write, and as soon as he came up and said that he had to take him with him, he was pulled by Guo Sheng, and he wanted to take him to Daxiangguo Temple to see the poetry lantern, and it was best to write a few more poems.

Yongning Bofu does not have the habit of building a lantern shed, of course, there is no place for them to build a lantern shed on the royal street, Mrs. Yan goes to the Yan family's lantern shed every year, talks with her sister-in-law, and has a night.

This year, Mrs. Yan went to the Yan family's lantern shed as usual, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Huo were invited to the Lu family's lantern shed by Mrs. Ruan, Li Xia and Li Wennan naturally wanted to follow Mrs. Huo, as for the eighth lady Li Wenmei, the second wife said that she was sick, and the eighth sister had to wait for the decoction, and there was no filial piety in the big things.

Mrs. Xu accompanied Mrs. Huo, took Li Xia and Li Wennan to the Lujia lantern shed, and after watching for a while, Mrs. Ruan looked at Li Wennan and Li Wennan lying on the railing of the lantern shed head to head, looking at the lively and cheerful Li Xia, and then glanced at the drip from time to time, becoming more and more absent-minded.

Mrs. Xu looked at the singing and dancing juggling in front of the lantern shed, and was dazzled by the lanterns, and she didn't care about anything else, Mrs. Huo looked at Mrs. Ruan, who was restless, and was hesitating to ask, Mrs. Ruan came over first.

"Old lady, that ......" Mrs. Ruan's mouth was sticky, and it was hard to say," said the general,...... Looking for Axia, there are a few very important words, that ......"

"I see." Old Mrs. Huo patted Mrs. Ruan's hand and signaled that she didn't need to say anything, she understood, "Go over now?" Or come here? ”

"It's in the past, it's okay here, it's okay later, it's in ...... Over there. Mrs. Ruan breathed a long sigh of relief, and went to the front of the royal street, and the lantern shed of the Qin Wangfu was set up closest to the Xuande Gate.

"I see." Old Mrs. Huo stretched out her head and glanced in the direction indicated by Mrs. Ruan, but it was too far away, and she only saw a piece of brilliance.

Mrs. Huo sat and drank half a cup of tea, and beckoned Li Wennan, "Sister Nan, come here." ”

Li Wennan held his toes and jumped over in two steps, "Grandma." ”

"Grandma is sitting here, it's boring, otherwise, you accompany your grandmother to the Tang family's lantern shed to have a look, if your Tang family's grandmother is here, grandma will talk to her, if not, let's come back, can it be done?"

"Uh-huh!" Li Wennan hurriedly nodded, beckoning to call Li Xia, his hand was halfway raised, and he was pressed back by Mrs. Huo, "Let Ah Xia accompany your Ruan family sister here...... Alas, I can't call my sister in the future, let them talk, let's go, Sister Yu is going to be bored. ”

Li Wennan was a little hesitant, Mrs. Xu smiled, waved her hand at Li Wennan and smiled: "You can take your grandmother there, let Ah Xia accompany Sister Yu to talk, if you are happy, stay for a while, talk, go out for a walk, just bring a few more people." ”

The wife is going to take Sister Nan to talk to the Tang family, this is the mother-in-law's thoughtfulness, while she has not yet decided on a marriage, she will talk a few more times, in case she can't talk together, or if she quarrels as soon as she meets, it's still too late...... If that's the case, that's a pity......

After a while, Mrs. Xu thought a lot......

Li Xia glanced at Mrs. Ruan, and also waved at Li Wennan, signaling her to go.

Li Wennan's gaze changed from Mrs. Xu's smile that was obviously not quite right, and when he saw Li Xia's hand waving constantly, he snorted, helped Mrs. Huo, and muttered as he walked out: "Don't think I don't know...... Grandma, you are really ...... My grandmother loves me the most. ”

Old Mrs. Huo smiled as she went downstairs, "This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, not for Sister Nan." ”

"I know, I know." Li Wennan couldn't stop laughing.

Watching Li Wennan and Mrs. Huo go downstairs, Mrs. Ruan took half a cup of tea, leaned over Li Xia, who was sitting next to her and looked at the lively Li Xia on the street, and said in a low voice: "The general said, I have something to tell you, it's very important, can you go downstairs and take a look?" ”

Li Xia sighed, stood up, and snorted at Mrs. Xu, "If you come back late, tell A-Niang that I have already gone back first." ”

Mrs. Ruan smiled, Li Xia beckoned Duan Yan, and went downstairs together.

Downstairs, Chengying saw Li Xia, hurriedly took a few steps to catch up, and said with a smile: "Hello girl, there are too many people, the car and sedan chair can't move, you have to walk over." ”

Li Xia nodded, Chengying was in front, and a few small servants followed, blocking around Li Xia and Duanyan, following the flow of people, squeezing in the direction of Xuande Gate.
