Chapter 214: The so-called family affection
After the little milk dumpling saw what she wanted to see, she motioned for Jiu'er to put herself down, and after landing on her feet, she returned to the table, sat down and continued to eat snacks slowly.
The people crowded in front of the window came back one after another, and they were gossiping.
Lin Bingying asked curiously: "Are the children in the carriage behind the king of Southern Xinjiang his children?" ”
"The king of southern Xinjiang entered Beijing this time, bringing his concubine Li Minghui and his eldest son Li Mingming." Li Wang said.
After all, he is a royal person, and he is related to the king of Southern Xinjiang, so it is not surprising that Li Wang knows.
"The king of southern Xinjiang actually brought all his children." Ruan Mianmian said lightly.
Ruan Chen looked at Ruan Mianmian: "I heard that this Minghui County Lord is a notoriously intelligent person. ”
"I don't know how she compares to Master Mianmian?" Li Wang's eyes lit up.
Ruan Mianmian waved her hand: "I'm just a little doll, you don't want to attract hatred to me." ”
"Is the master so low-key?" Li Wang looked at Ruan Mianmian.
"Our Ruan family doesn't need to be high-profile." Ruan Chen said lightly.
The little milk dumpling gave Ruan Chen a thumbs up: "The third brother said it well. ”
"They're only here for a month anyway." Ruan Zhao said with a big grin.
Ji Ji echoed and said, "Yes, grandfather said that they left after the Lantern Festival. ”
"I'm afraid that if I don't want to meet it, I will meet it." Ruan Chen saw it through, "At least there is a palace banquet." ”
"Find an excuse to avoid it." Ruan Jin proposed.
Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "Wouldn't that make people look down on my Ding'an Hou Mansion, let it be, I just don't provoke her." ”
"That's right." Ruan Chen smiled and reassured, "We're just worrying about the sky right now." ”
Ruan Mianmian is not so optimistic, her grandfather said that this Minghui county lord is here for her.
knew it in her heart, but Ruan Mianmian didn't say much, so as not to worry about her brothers and sisters.
It's been ten years, and when he finally came back, in front of the gate of the palace, Li Heng reined in his horse and looked up at the high palace wall.
Soon, the group entered the palace and marched slowly along the palace road.
"Uncle Huang, please dismount, the imperial grandmother and father are waiting for you." Li Yu got out of the carriage and walked to the side of the horse.
Li Heng jumped out of the carriage and turned around and ordered, "Hui'er, Zhi'er, come down." ”
Ruan Xiao frowned slightly, in just such a short distance, the king of Southern Xinjiang put on a good shelf, but he really had no one in his eyes, and he didn't take Li Yu, the prince, in his eyes at all.
Li Yu lowered his head slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes, he naturally saw the arrogance of the king of southern Xinjiang, but nothing was clear at the moment, and he had to endure this little thing.
Entering the palace, in addition to the Queen Mother and the emperor, there were several former ministers, including the Marquis of Ding'an, and the eyes of the king of southern Xinjiang flashed with displeasure.
originally thought that it should be a hundred civil and military officials, but I didn't expect that only a few people came. Li Heng knew that the emperor was giving himself a dismount, and he had to endure it no matter how unhappy he was.
The corners of the emperor's mouth slightly hooked up and sneered, and then his face was full of smiles, so many years have passed, his younger brother has not changed, just from the small details, it can be seen that he still does not understand what a monarch is.
"Knock on the emperor, and see the queen mother." Li Heng saw the Empress Dowager showing an excited look, and Li Minghui and Li Mingzhi also knelt down behind him.
"Flat." The emperor and the queen mother said in unison.
"Ministers, see the king of southern Xinjiang." Several old ministers saluted.
"Excuse me." Li Hui smiled in return.
"Ten years of farewell, Li Heng, don't come over quickly, let the mourning family take a look." The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes.
Li Heng hurriedly walked to the queen mother and knelt down: "Queen mother, the son is not filial." ”
"It's been ten years, ten years." The Queen Mother's eyes were hazy with tears.
"Isn't Erchen coming back?"
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
The emperor smiled and said, "The queen mother has been chattering for a long time, and finally waited for you." By the way, is this Minghui? ”
"Brother Huang, it is Minghui, that is my eldest son Minghui." Li Heng said.
"Minghui was still holding the doll in her hand back then, but now it's so big." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Li Heng turned to Li Yu who was standing next to him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also grown into a young man." ”
"That's right, Minghui and Yu'er are the same age." The Queen Mother's voice fell.
The other people present were laughing together, but Li Yu found that a haze flashed in his father's eyes, and at the same time, Ding'an Hou Ruan Geng's expression was not very good-looking.
What followed was a greeting, the emperor and Ruan Geng were not very interested, and neither of them had much to say.
The county lord of Minghui was quite close to Li Yu, pestering him to ask questions.
Li Yu is perfunctory and perfunctory, although he is very impatient in his heart, but there is no trace of it on the surface, which is in line with his usual cold temperament.
At this time, I didn't expect that the queen mother, who had lived in seclusion since Li Ling left, also came.
Seeing Li Minghui, the queen mother was extremely happy and obviously liked her very much.
There was no fluctuation in his heart, Li Yu didn't care who the queen liked or didn't like, her likes and dislikes had nothing to do with him.
After the emperor's brother and brother Gong said some superficial words, they casually found an excuse to say that there were government officials to deal with, and then let them go to Yishou Palace to chat happily with the queen mother.
The queen also left with the queen mother, and the lord of Minghui wanted to take Li Yu to Yishou Palace, but he resigned on the grounds that he still had homework.
The emperor's general Ding'an Hou Ruan Geng stayed, and the others, including Li Yu, retreated, and only Gonggong Kang was left in the palace to serve.
Li Yu walked slowly on the palace road, his expression was calm, but his mind was turning over the river and thinking about it, and the few little eunuchs behind him didn't dare to make a sound when they saw him, but just dutifully followed.
As a prince, Li Yu can more or less see some clues just now, although he is close to the emperor's mother, but since his father does not want to see this imperial uncle, he naturally can't get too close.
It's just that the queen mother's performance is too abnormal. Although Li Yu has not been close to the queen in the past ten years, he knows that she is not an approachable character, not to mention that Ruan Mianmian, who is loved by everyone, has touched a nail in front of the queen, why does she treat the Minghui county lord differently, if there is no reason, he absolutely does not believe it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." The little eunuch suddenly called.
Li Yu came back to his senses, only to find that he had unconsciously taken a fork in the road and came to the Imperial Garden. The reason why the little eunuch called him was because the virtuous concubine was coming towards him.
"Concubine Niangniang."
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
The two of them greeted each other in unison, this was the first time they met alone since Li Sheng's accident, Li Yu smiled, and the virtuous concubine also smiled.
"Brother Emperor should be cured, right?" Li Yu greeted, "I want to go and see, but I'm afraid of disturbing me." ”
"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet."
"The concubine is polite, my brother should be." Li Yu lowered his voice, "Speaking of which, it's also the imperial sister's, and I should be my younger brother to clean up the aftermath for her." ”
