The gourd half-fairy looked calm, his eyebrows were light, as if he was saying something inconsequential. And the more he looks like he is not touching the fireworks in the world, the greater the horror in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

He thought in his heart: "Madame Ningluo's pregnancy has not yet spread in the mansion, and as far as he knows, only a few people know about it, not that he refuses to divulge half a point, but that he Zhu Yuanzhang himself is not sure whether Li Ningluo is pregnant with a son or a half-daughter." I learned from the mouth in front of me that there are people in the house who are pregnant, but there are thousands of people in the house, large and small, and there are only hundreds of maids-in-law. It's better not to believe too much in these gossips, but looking at the person in front of you, his eyes are clear, and his demeanor is humble and polite rather than identity, he doesn't look like a liar who chews his tongue! Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a headache.

Despite this, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude had already taken a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees, his face relaxed, and he smiled slightly: "Why did the immortal master say this for no reason, I, Zhu someone, was Mrs. Sanfang, and I haven't heard of anyone being pregnant." The old immortal master is here to make fun of me. Hehe, I, Zhu, am also a hospitable person, and it is not in vain to be able to see the demeanor of the immortal master today. If there is nothing else to do, I hope that the old immortal master will stay in the house for more time, so that I can do my best as a landlord. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said this politely, if he was replaced by a person, it would be difficult to say whether he would be in such a good mood to greet him.

Hulu Banxian smiled slightly, his expression was calm, he waved his long sleeves, and said softly: "Thank you for your love." However, Xiaomin came this time to pursue the spirit of this brocade scale, and from a hundred miles away, he saw the crape myrtle morning star shining for thousands of miles, like the Milky Way like a lotus covering the mansion of adults, just as the so-called stars descend to the southeast, and the heavenly dragon is auspicious. If it is not a miracle, it is the rebirth of heaven and man, and it is in the mortal world. Frightened, Xiaomin exhausted his brains and spent several days to figure out that there was a great sage and a great virtuous person descending and the mansion of Duke Wu, so he dared to come to visit, I don't want the adults to believe what Xiaomin said so much, I might as well go back. ”

Sighing softly, the gourd half-immortal shook his head, his expression was a little lonely.

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually rare in his heart, and all kinds of thoughts came flooding in, making it difficult for him to decide, and finally he asked softly, "Can the old immortal master calculate what the child will achieve in the future?" ”

Seems to be slightly angry, the gourd half-immortal frowned, and said unhappily: "Since it is a celestial Tuofan, he has been rich and noble in his life, I only deduce half of it, that is, this son will be auspicious, and he will be auspicious when he is vicious. At the end of the gourd half-immortal, his face flushed with some excitement.

"Old immortal master, please silence, don't talk nonsense about controlling the world and holding Jiuding, otherwise it will be worth it if you accidentally break your life." Although Zhu Yuanzhang said so, the agitation in his heart was even more powerful. According to the words of the gourd and half immortals, wouldn't there be a son of heaven and a god? But could it be Madame Condensation? His brow furrowed slightly.

seemed to see Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts and hesitation, the gourd half-immortal, suddenly walked out of the hall with his sleeves brushed up, stopped on the porch, pondered carefully, occasionally pinched his fingers and counted, and occasionally looked up at the sky, so he looked like a sage.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes changed, he was a little puzzled, and asked loudly from behind, "What is the old immortal master doing?" ”

Who knew that the gourd half-immortal was unexpectedly unaware, his eyes were closed tightly, and he suddenly opened them suddenly, his eyes were full of energy, and he couldn't help but look excited, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and said slowly: "That's the direction, absolutely right!" At this moment, he acted like an excited child, dancing with his hands, without the slightest embarrassment.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up from the pear wood engraved dragon pattern chair, hurried to the porch in three or two steps, and looked in the direction pointed by the gourd half-immortal, only to see that it was the residence of Mrs. Li Ningluo.

"Go on." Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyes and slowly took a sip of Qinglu tea, and the bowl lid in his hand was faintly trembling and colliding, which showed that this long-standing big man still had a trace of agitation: "The old immortal master will sit with me and tell me how this matter is going to be." He said it very politely.

The gourd half-immortal bowed, "Xiaomin obeys his fate, please rest assured." The auspicious aura is protected, and no one can hurt the mother and son, by the way, I don't know which lady this is an adult? The two of them walked into the living room, and the gourd half-fairy asked casually.

"Second lady, hehe, I also just found out not long ago! Haha-" Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing. What else could make him so happy, the infinite world? Oh

Maybe yes, but what about other than that? I'm afraid it's the heir. As the so-called unfilial piety has three no queens, inheritance is the biggest thing in life, once extinct, it is going to suffer from thousands of people scolding, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over for a hundred years, and it will be the laughing stock of people before and after dinner.

The gourd half-immortal bowed slightly and saluted, and said, "Xiaomin is here to congratulate the lord first, congratulations to the lord!" ”

"Oh, good! The immortal master will stay in the mansion for a while longer, and talk to me about it! Zhu Yuanzhang asked happily.

"May it be good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gourd half-immortal with a sideways face, and there seemed to be a slight ripple in his fierce eyes, and he asked lightly: "Old immortal master, do you think this good news should be celebrated?" ”

The gourd half-immortal was forced to meet those eyes, and there was a kind of panic of being aware of what was in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel a slight tremor in his eyes, and with the elegant curvature of the corners of his lips, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the gourd half immortal said, "Why not?" Such a great event should be celebrated by the whole world and rejoiced with the people! ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled softly, his eyes were already full of excitement.

I don't know what made Zhu Yuanzhang smile deeper in his eyes: "Old Immortal Master, I don't know when this auspicious day is set?" I also hope that the immortal master will give advice. ”

The gourd half-immortal said almost without thinking: "Three days later, the meeting of heaven and earth, yin and yang, is the day of great luck." ”

"Hehe, okay, then set it for three days later, a big feast, and celebrate with the city!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited.

After a while, the waves surging in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes gradually returned to calm, and after a while, he smiled at the gourd half-immortal, and said lightly: "The immortal master is fine, I still have to deal with the affairs, and take me to call for the immortal master to settle a resting place!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The gourd half-immortal turned around and thanked him, calm as water.

In the next three days, an explosive news spread all over the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and pawn traders often chattered on the sidelines, and many people in taverns and restaurants talked about it. This is not anything else, but the Lord and Mrs. Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong are happy, and they have a thousand tables of wine and banquet, which stretches for ten miles from the mansion of Duke Wu, and all the guests in Nanjing City are invited to the banquet, whether you are a high-ranking nobleman or a poor person, you can go to eat.

And a group of capable subordinates, after receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, were trembling, did not dare to be careless at all, and handled everything in an orderly manner, without a little disorder.

On the morning of the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang washed under the service of his subordinates, and then walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the front hall. He's going to see how the various facilities are going.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed through the corridor, he saw Li Ningluo gently moving the lotus step and coming, and when he got closer, he said: "The adults don't know where to go, I have a few words of gossip to discuss with the adults, I don't know if the adults have time?" Her thin eyes narrowed, and she climbed beside Zhu Yuanzhang with a spring breeze on her face.

Zhu Yuanzhang gently hugged her waist and said softly: "Say it, I will promise you anything, hehe, good, are you okay these days?" ”

"Hmmm! Thank you for your concern, everything is fine, nothing uncomfortable. Li Ning said softly.

"That's good, by the way, Condensation, what the hell is going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a small thing, although it's a small thing, I still hope to be able to get your permission in person, so that I can be more comfortable." Li Ningluo lay in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, looking at his cold and deep eyes with a little resentment and adoration.

I don't know why, without Li Ningluo's gentle and gentle teasing, Zhu Yuanzhang felt soft for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, I promise you, it's okay now!" ”

"No, it's just not okay, I haven't told you anything yet, how can you easily promise me!" Li Ningluo said coquettishly.

"You say!"

After sorting out his mood, Li Ningluo said in a deep voice: "Today the adults are happy, they want to feast on the officials and patronize the people, this is a very important banquet, I want to beg the adults to allow Xu Biyi to also participate in today's banquet, I don't know if the adults can agree to me!" ”

"No way!" Zhu Yuanzhang directly rejected Li Ningluo's plea.

"No, don't people follow! If Xu Biyi doesn't attend the banquet, then I won't either! Li Ningluo said angrily, pouting his mouth and pushing Zhu Yuanzhang away.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense! This banquet is for you and the child in your womb, if you don't attend, what if you call yourself a husband, won't everyone laugh at me? ”

"Jokes are jokes, anyway, Xu Biyi doesn't participate, and I don't have the face to go." Li Ningluo's tone was firm.

"And why do you say that?" Zhu Yuanzhang said that she had no choice.

"My lord, you see, among the ladies in the third room, I am at the bottom. Sister Liuyan is not in the city, so we won't talk about it, after all, everyone knows this. So there is no smoke here, the most face-saving person attending the banquet is not me, but Sister Xu Biyi, except for Sister Xu Biyi, who else do you think really has the identity to participate in the banquet, I don't think I have that ability. Not to mention that Sister Xu's eldest brother Xu Da is the number one warrior under you, just her status as the second lady is beyond the reach of the slave family. If, my lord, you can't invite her over, you can't say it, and Yu Li will be criticized by some of his subordinates. If this word reaches the ears of General Xu Da, it will definitely cause disagreement between your monarchs and ministers, wouldn't it make Chen Youliang take advantage of it for nothing, my lord, what do you say? Li Ningluo's soft words were like needles, which deeply stimulated Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, and said: "Madame is reasonable, but you should also know that Xu Biyi and I are still a little unhappy, if I want to call someone to invite her to participate in the banquet, wouldn't it be to lose my face, this is really a bit embarrassing, or let the husband think about it, okay?" ”

Li Ningluo knew that this matter was the most critical step in her entire conspiracy, and once she succeeded, she had already completed this matter. But his own fire can't burn too strongly, otherwise although Zhu Yuanzhang loves himself, if he is forced to be unhappy, he will be self-defeating.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was a little confused, and in the face of major events, he could strategize and guide the country. However, when it comes to matters between women, he is helpless.

With some trouble in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "I don't care, you can do it!" With that, he turned around and left.

Li Ningluo smiled and went back, she needed to arrange it in such a short time.

Xu Biyi's residence. She didn't bother to put on her makeup when she got up early in the morning, and her face was a little pale under her unkempt hair.

He lazily grabbed a wooden comb in his hand, scribbled it on his head a few times, and then put it down weakly. How could she not know the news from the house? Today, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to have a big feast, and she understands it, but is everything really done by herself? She was a little confused, how could a good box of glass cakes be poisonous? She couldn't figure it out, if Chu Liuyan was here, maybe none of this would have happened! She comforted herself silently in her heart and licked it slowly. I feel a wound in my heart!

Stepping out of bed, he walked out slowly, wearing only a thin gauze coat, and just stood in the garden.

In the garden, there are floating clouds, and the morning light is cold. Xu Biyi stood in front of the jade steps in a daze, a bitterness was suppressed in her throat, and she couldn't say the grievances that she couldn't bear or want to think about, for fear that once she said it, it would really become an irreversible fact.

As soon as the cold wind blew, she trembled, and the cold wind and light inquiry slashed through her heart like a thin sharp blade, both fast and painful with a trace of merciless numbness.

"Madam, why don't you have a room?" A thin voice came from behind.

Xu Biyi remained unmoved. Seeing that she still didn't answer, Ripple sighed softly: "Madam, I have good news for you. ”

At this time, a few fallen leaves occasionally rolled up the bluestone steps, and the whole mansion was still shrouded in an unclear sky. Layers of curtains rise with the wind, fluttering like a curtain, the jade curtain and golden lamp fall, covering the carved beams and paintings, and the inside and outside of the wall corridor are all deserted.

The long corridor of the exquisite loop is meandering, the zhulan is slightly wet, and the morning breeze is slightly cool. Through the emerald flowers and plants of the sea, the ancient jade is stained with rain, showing an elegant and moist color. Several maids came to this side with white jade plates and glass cups in their hands, and the small footsteps were mixed with the silence of the stars, and the tense feeling instantly returned to a boundless tranquility.

It was a peace of mind and soul, absolute indifference and boredom. Xu Biyi was stunned for a while before turning around and asked softly, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Ripple said faintly: "I went to help with the beating just now, and the lord told me to send a message to let Mrs. dress up and go to the banquet." ”

When Xu Biyi heard this, she smiled lightly, and there was a slight imperceptible bitterness in her smile: "Do you think there is any point in me participating in this banquet?" I'm just a guilty person, and I am looked down upon by them and looked down upon by them, so I should stay in my room in peace of mind and feel better. Ripples, you go and help me get back, just say I'm not feeling well, so I won't go. ”

Lian Xun's face was a little ugly, but fortunately, Xu Biyi's eyes were not on her, and the cold air in the distance hovered over the grass and trees for a while, ring by ring, stacked on top of each other, attracting Xu Biyi's eyes.

After muttering in her heart for a while, Ripple shook her three-inch poisonous woman's tongue and said, "Madam, this can't be helped, if you don't go, it will definitely make the beating even more angry!" ”

"Hmph, won't he be angry when I go? When did you see him looking at me, I was not even as good as a vase in her eyes. Xu Biyi said a little angrily, but he was kind by nature, and he didn't say anything cruel in the end, so he could only feel sorry for himself, and in an instant, tears covered her pale cheeks, which was heartbreaking.

"But Madame......" Ripple was about to say something.

Xu Biyi interrupted her words with a wave of her hand, and said, "It's nothing, I decided that I won't go, just go over there and say goodbye!" ”

"Well, if Madame insists on not going, there is nothing we can do as subordinates, but Madam, there are some things I still have to say. It's a trivial matter if you don't go, but if you get angry, you will definitely be snubbed even more, and even because you implicate General Xu Da, many courtiers will think that you have neglected the adult, after all, your status is higher than that of Mrs. Li, and you are the sister of General Xu Da, if you don't attend, you will definitely not be able to explain. After Ripple finished speaking, he turned around and left.

How could Xu Biyi not know that what Lian Wei said made sense? It's just that you can really bite the bullet? My brother is the most important person. With his eyes slightly closed, after some painful struggle, he opened his eyes and looked up at the tall balcony Hongyu, and his voice was as calm as water: "Lian Xun, you will accompany me to the room and help me freshen up, let's go somewhere to see!" ”

Lian Xun hurriedly nodded yes, and helped Xu Biyi back to the dormitory step by step, I don't know why, this time in and out, Xu Biyi had a feeling like she was walking towards the grave and the cage.

Seeing that Xu Buqi suddenly stopped her steps, Lian Wei trembled slightly, thinking that she was going to change her hexagram. Unlike Xu Biyi, who just sighed softly, shook her head, didn't say anything, and walked into the room.

Only the cold air behind him swirled in the air for a while, and the bamboo shadow was dashing, and the morning light was hazy, covering everyone's mood.

In the breeze, Xu Biyi's long ink-colored hair, who was sitting by the window, almost wanted to fall to the ground, followed the rippled hands, and quietly flowed along the cloud silk long clothes, like a light ink smoke, soaked in the sorrow and sadness in front of her.
