Chapter 425: Li Tai's Promise
(pink 150 plus)
February 11 is not a special day, but in the early days, an edict was pronounced like a slap of chicken blood on the back of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, just like the fight between King Wu and the crown prince a few days ago.
Refers to the granddaughter of Lu Zhongzhi, the deceased Duke of Huaiguo, and the widow of the Lu family is the concubine of Li Tai, the king of Wei
Most ministers don't know who Lu Zhi's relics are, but if Lu Zhi is mentioned, then everyone knows that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is actually engaged to the sister of the murderer who killed the eldest grandson Wuji's sister-in-law, which is really shocking
Because it was a marriage, for a while, the ministers couldn't figure out whether this family affair was the emperor's intention or King Wei's own intention. But no matter who it means, this family business is absolutely unjustifiable.
The emperor can let his precious son marry his brother-in-law's enemy?
Will the king of Wei welcome a woman as a concubine who is harmful to him and who is in the middle of the family?
Presumably, everyone who listened to the edict on the spot wondered if there was something wrong with the brains of this father and son. At this moment, there was a dark tide surging upward, and when the emperor left, it became lively.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Tai with a calm face, and then walked away. A few bold people took the lead in coming to Li Tai, saluting, first congratulating, and then knocking on the side to inquire, Li Tai didn't give anyone a cold face, nodded and thanked Dao Hesheng, as for the inquiry, they all shook their heads and did not say anything, just when they were about to ask again, they were suppressed by a loud voice.
"King Wei, if you have nothing to do later, I will invite you to drink."
Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand to push aside several low-grade officials, and stood horizontally in front of Li Tai, and the one on his left with a worried face was the current Huaiguo Gong Lu Rongyuan.
"Hmm." Li Tai did not refuse, and several people walked out of the palace gate one after another.
The ministers dispersed, but one person hesitated in front of the Taiji Hall for a while, found the eunuch Tongyu, and went to the study of the side hall.
Huaiguo Mansion
Lu Rongyuan Lu Rong and the two brothers sat in the small hall to talk about things, the door of the hall was not closed, and the subordinates would not break in without a long eye.
"What do you say this is called, the emperor gave the marriage of King Wei and Xiaoyu, isn't this a joke?"
Lu Ronghe had a different opinion from his eldest brother, he had a smile on his face, and said comfortingly: "I think this is a good thing, it is also Xiaoyu's blessing to be the concubine of King Wei," and then he said sadly:
"The top priority is to bring Xiaoyu back first, otherwise one day the emperor will give the wedding date, but we can't hand over anyone, then it will be a joke."
"Smack!" Lu Rongyuan's eyes widened, and he slapped his palm on the table, "What are you talking about, second brother, I found that since the separation, your brain is not clear, you can't tell the good from the bad, Xiaoyu is a side concubine to King Wei, can it be called a blessing If it is favored, it is good, but if it is not favored, then this life will be ruined, I see that as soon as my father leaves, you have forgotten the lessons of Lan Niang"
"Big brother, calm down, this matter naturally can't be compared with Lan Niang's matter, you also have to know that at that time, our Lu family was the same scenery, but now we have to point to my father's Yu Yin blessing, Xiaoyu can climb this family business, it's better than because she offended the eldest grandson's family, she can only find a family outside Beijing to marry casually."
"I'd rather her marry an ordinary family" Lu Rongyuan's anger did not subside, he stood up and walked back and forth in the living room, so as not to be angry with the brother he hadn't seen for a few days, and the thoughts in his mouth kept talking:
"When Xiaoyu wanted to avoid suspicion with us, I shouldn't have listened to your jump, let her go out and make trouble so that no one can find it now, and she also put up this bad family business, if my father knew under Jiuquan, he would kill us two unfilial sons in his dreams."
"I'm not thinking about our Lu family, let's talk about it, if Zhi'er hadn't killed the eldest grandson, how could it have come to this" Because of Lu Zhi's relationship, Lu Ronghe, who had suffered several setbacks in the officialdom, finally broke out.
"You-" Lu Rongyuan wanted to reprimand him, but found that he couldn't open his mouth to refute, he was also an official in the court, and the consequences of Lu Zhi's murder naturally affected his official career, but if he wanted to deny that his nephew did not kill anyone, the evidence was conclusive, and even he didn't believe it.
"Father, uncle." Lu Shuqing stood outside the door and listened for a long time, and only when she saw that the two elders were out of harmony did she stand up, her beautiful face full of mockery.
"Don't quarrel with the two of you, the second sister is fine now, in my opinion, the relationship with King Wei is her own volition."
Lu Ronghe was smarter, and when he heard what she said, he frowned and asked, "Shuqing, you said that, but what do you know?" ”
Lu Shuqing didn't hesitate any longer, and told Lu Zhi that after Lu Zhi's accident, after Yu Yu left the Guogong Mansion, he and Li Tai left together.
quarreling behind closed doors, outsiders naturally don't know, but the Lu family that lost Lu Zhongzhi is like losing the backbone and can't get together again. Just when the two brothers were worried about Yiyu, the only niece, they forgot that when Yiyu took the initiative to leave the Lu family, the original intention was to help them get rid of trouble, forgot how they promised to give the brothers and sisters affection, and forgot how they watched the Lu family play as a chess piece, and how they regretted it afterwards and worked hard to find it.
People, when they are in trouble, are the least selfish, but it is precisely after they have enjoyed comfort and abundance that selfishness swells.
The relationship between King Wei and the Lu family spread in the ears of many people on the same day, and this is a wide-ranging affair, which is more eye-catching than Li Tai's marriage to the Oriental Pearl. As a result, the relic jade, which was originally only famous in Guozijian, quickly became a new topic for people.
At this time, the widow who was busy in the pharmacy had no idea about the emperor's edict this morning, so she would not consider what she would be discussed as the unmarried concubine of King Wei in a few days.
Li Tai had informed her in advance, and the Astronomical Museum would announce the list of candidates for the "Kun Yuanlu" parade, and they would be the first to leave Beijing after the fifteenth day, and she should prepare as soon as possible to prevent mistakes.
"Miss, the sachet is sewn, there are six in total, you can see if this is the case."
Yi Yu checked the sachet that she had made according to her request to hold the insect repellent pills, and after confirming that it was correct, she assigned Pingtong Pinghui to do something else.
was busy until dinner, Li Tai didn't come back, Yiyu waited for him to come back for half an hour, ate first, and then went back to the house to rest, saying that he was resting, but in fact he had work to do. In the night light, she sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, with an embroidered basket beside her and a needle and thread in her hand.
I haven't done embroidery work for a while, but I have been working for many years, and I found the feeling of a few stitches, and within an hour, she sewed four small sachets, the fabric is breathable silk, a pair of bright blue and a pair of light red, in addition to the special edge of the bag, there are also some elegant patterns embroidered on it, and a stitch and a thread are very fine.
Xu is doing it carefully and carefully, and when he finishes it, he will go to the candlestick to check, and when he looks up and sees Li Tai lying on his side on the soft couch opposite, he almost burned his hands in fright.
"You can't come in and out without a sound?"
"I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me." He knocked it out.
Knowing that it didn't make sense to talk to him, Yiyu stopped talking nonsense, and asked while packing up the embroidery basket, "Have you had dinner?" ”
"Hmm."
"Then you're not going to rest? It's the middle of the night. As soon as the words fell, I heard a faint sound of snorting outside, and when I listened carefully, it was already more than half of the hour.
Speaking of which, when he returned to the palace from the palace, the morning before, he ran back and slept on her couch, and then the two of them lived separately in a regular manner, fortunately, the weather was getting warmer, otherwise Yu Yu was really not used to the lack of a stove on the side.
"Sleepy?" Li Tai sat up on the soft couch.
"No, I'm going to read a book for a while before I go to sleep." When she is not sleepy, she does not like to force herself to sleep, so that when she wakes up the next day, she can't eat breakfast.
"Then change into light clothes, I'll take you somewhere."
In the middle of the night, it's dark and cold, where are you going? Yi Yu thought suspiciously, but still cooperated to go to the closet and take the riding clothes that Pingtong had sewn for her the day before, and went around the screen to change into it.
At night, although many streets are lit with lanterns, it is not as noisy as places like the Eastern Metropolis and Pingkangfang, but it is quiet.
Yi Yu followed behind Li Tai, walked out of the palace through the back door, and glanced left and right at the empty streets, "Your Highness, let's walk?" The night was quiet, and she didn't speak loudly, but she still felt very loud.
"Hmm." Li Tai had already taken a step towards Daonan, she hurriedly followed, turned her head to look at the closed door behind her, and lowered her voice: "Just the two of us?" ”
"Hmm." Xu thought she was slow, he leaned sideways and waited for her to catch up, took her cold little hand, and continued to walk down the side of the road except for the two of them.
The difference between the two is more than seven years old, whether it is the size or the hands and feet, Yu Yu is a few sizes younger than him, and he has grown a little longer, and he is only barely under his shoulders, he leads her forward like this, like an adult pulling a child.
Yi Yu habitually held his warm fingers, looked up at him, and looked at the starry night sky, thinking a little nonsense, this month is dark and windy, it is a good time to kill people, and he should not take himself to do anything bad.
There was no word all the way, until she turned around and found a small alley, and he led her into a courtyard through the small door, and she couldn't help but tug at him, and asked in a low voice:
"Where is this?"
Li Tai didn't answer, and firmly led her through a verandah, walking past a small lake, and Yu Yu recognized the red and white pavilion in front of her at a glance.
"Literature Museum? What are you bringing me here for? In the past two months of getting along, whenever she thinks she knows something about him, she will find that she doesn't understand him at all.
"I have something to say to you." Li Tai noticed the unconsciously nervousness in her voice, explained in a low voice, and at the same time made a few gestures to the dark places on both sides, pushed open the unlocked door, and walked in.
It was pitch black in the building, and Yu Yu could only grab his arm and follow him step by step up the stairs, turn, and then up the stairs. Few people know that from the outside, it looks like a three-story Fengling Tower, but there is a fourth floor hidden under the eaves.
Feeling dark and going up to the top floor, the uneasiness in Yi Yu's heart has been widened, she didn't realize it, while being careful with her feet, she grabbed Li Tai's arm, and her five fingers almost cut into his flesh, people always feel fear when facing unknown situations.
A soft sigh echoed across the top floor, and as she saw the moonlight from the open-air roof above her head, she also saw the look of amazement on her handsome face.
"What's wrong?" Yi Yu felt that he had done something wrong to make him show this expression, and asked uneasily, and in the next moment, he only felt that his hands were empty, and the things in front of him turned over, and his body was vacated, and he was hugged from the ground.
"Your Highness?" She grabbed the hem of his shirt with one hand and called him in a panic.
Li Tai didn't respond, but hugged her without much weight, went straight to the only soft couch in the building and sat down, leaned back on the recline, moved his arm down, bowed his left leg, and surrounded her, leaning his back against his chest, his chin resting on top of her head, and looking up at the clear night sky above his head.
"The time has passed, you are thirteen now, fourteen years old."
Hearing his low voice, not seeing his expression, lying on top of him so intimately, with her back against her chest, made her nervous and afraid to move, and after hearing his words clearly, she unexpectedly tried to get up from him, but his hands were pierced from behind her to her soft lower abdomen and held her firmly.
This tight embrace made her ears hot, and she didn't know where to place her hands and feet, so she could only retreat and ask tentatively, "You brought me here for this?" ”
February 12 is her birthday, and the two of them mentioned it when they were talking about marriage before, but she didn't think that this person would pick a special time to spend the night and take her out.
"Yesterday, my father issued an edict to refer to you as my side concubine."
“... Well. Knowing that he couldn't see it, she honestly showed a wry smile on her face, the concubine of King Wei, what a noble position, but it was not what the "greedy" she really wanted.
Li Tai took a shallow breath, smelled the medicinal fragrance on the top of her hair, looked at the stars in the sky again, and said in a low but clear voice:
"I was going to wait until next year's birthday to say that, but you're a little more sluggish than I thought. Listen, I know you're not ready, so, I'll wait for you for another two years, until you're fifteen years old, and I'll marry you as a concubine, no matter whether you're good enough to deal with it at that time, I'll ask my father again, and you'll marry me as the princess of Wei Li Tai, Yuyu, and I'll marry you as a concubine. ”
When his words fell, the person in his arms did not move, and there was only the shallow breathing of two people in the air, and he groped for her to hold her hands together gently, and the blue waves flashed in his eyes, and after a touch of hesitation, he finally said calmly:
"I'm cold by nature, I'm not a woman who lusts for women, I don't care about the eyes of the world, it's really unexpected to be emotionally attracted to you, but I haven't thought of letting go. I know what you want, so I won't admit any woman into the house until I marry you, and after that, if you're strong enough to stand by my side, I promise you're alone. ”
