The guests in the courtyard heard Qiu Quzi shouting, and immediately bowed their heads and bowed.

Everyone didn't dare to look up, but Lu Zhaoyi, who didn't hear it, looked at her.

The Lu family in Hebei and the Cai family in Guanzhong are all big families in the previous dynasty, and who doesn't know about the government and the opposition?

And these two great families, in the past, were also the objects that Wu Gong tried to woo.

But with the opening of the new dynasty, these old-fashioned clans are no longer worried, and Cai Zhengjun is just a puppet of Wu Gong and Xia Pei in order to manipulate the family.

The so-called daughter of the Cai family, Cai Guifei, will be under Xia Pei's control all her life and cannot extricate herself.

Thinking about it this way, it's quite pitiful.

"You, it should be, Lu Niangzi, right?"

Cai Zhengjun looked at this lady who dared to look at him, and couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately, her complexion became very weird.

Lu Zhaoyi snorted lightly, "As a person in the harem, the noble concubine can easily leave the palace, which is unbelievable." ”

"You're bold!"

A palace maid suddenly scolded, and was just about to refute verbally, when she saw Qu Qiniang beside her, her eyes widened.

"She, why is she here?"

Qu Qiniang beside her trembled, she should be afraid, and Lu Zhaoyi reached out to hold her hand to comfort her.

When she raised her eyes, she pretended to be innocent, "You mean Qu Qi Niang?" She is superb in martial arts, and she is the one who protects me closely, is it possible that she is loved by your concubine? ”

The palace girl was angry, so she was about to open her mouth to scold, but was stopped by Cai Zhengjun raising his hand.

Lu Zhaoyi knew that they didn't dare to reprimand them in person, otherwise they would do it, and they would buy murder to assassinate themselves.

Similarly, she also wanted to see how this Cai Zhengjun reacted after learning that she had rebelled against Qu Qiniang.

But I didn't give much chance, and another person came in at the door, but it was Xia Pei in regular clothes, who was vigorous and handsome, and should have come on the same road as Cai Zhengjun.

He glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Lu Zhaoyi, a little approval in his eyes, fleeting.

When everyone heard that His Majesty was coming, they immediately wanted to plunge into the ground.

And Lu Zhaoyi also had to kneel down to greet him.

"Just now, Lu Niangzi questioned, your concubine is a person from the harem, but she can leave the palace?" Xia Pei stepped into the mansion step by step, and smiled, "She is alone, she definitely can't." But if it's with me, doesn't it make sense? ”

's words made Lu Zhaoyi lose face, but instead ended up disrespectful to the noble concubine.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't show it on his face, but he secretly wondered in his heart, this Xia Pei, why is he everywhere?

If you say that the first few times, Xia Pei was defending her, but only this time, she was really roasted on the shelf.

In the corner, Qiu Quzi, who was kneeling upright, kept his head on the ground, not moving at all, but after Xia Pei finished saying the last word, he suddenly raised his voice.

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty! The minister is not talented, His Majesty came to the house in person, such an honor, the minister is afraid, and he will definitely be smeared with liver and brain, in order to repay the grace of heaven! ”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, she suddenly found that she should have had no contact with Qiu Quzi in the past, but she spoke out in time, obviously thanking Tian'en, but actually helping herself to relieve the siege.

What is this Qiu Quzi thinking?

Xia Pei's face was slightly gloomy, and there was still a smile on his face, "Qiu Qing, over the years, you have served the imperial court, and you have made a lot of contributions, and it has also hurt you." ”

These words were said gently and elegantly, and it also showed the ability of Xia Pei's imperial ministers.

"Noble concubine!" He turned his head again and looked at Cai Zhengjun, "If you continue to stay in the front yard, I'm afraid that these guests won't dare to raise their heads, why don't you go to the backyard first?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Cai Zhengjun's eyes opened from Lu Zhaoyi, and he rushed towards Xia Peifu, which is called a shy and pretentious.

As soon as she left, everyone in the front yard looked up one by one.

But at this time, Xia Pei's next sentence blurted out, and the guests in the audience were so frightened that they kowtowed again, and they wanted to stuff them into the hole.

"Isn't Mrs. Lu also a woman? When you become a courtier, do you forget the etiquette that you should observe, and dare to sit and drink with a group of men in the front yard? ”

The words of the Son of Heaven were deafening and terrifying, and they made Lu Zhaoyi really stunned.

What is this for?

Look down on yourself? Or are you deliberately counting down?

At this moment, she was full of anger, but she could only hold it in her heart, and she was even more disdainful of Xia Pei.

And what she didn't know was that she only cared about herself and was unhappy, and she couldn't see his expression when she lowered her head.

He is the Son of Heaven, but he is very embarrassed with an imperceptible sourness.

Everyone was frightened, silent for a while, and buried their heads deeper.

"Why are you still stunned? Do you want my palace to invite you to the backyard? Xia Pei's face turned cold, and his voice became cold and hard.

Lu Zhaoyi's face was calm, and he bowed to Xia Pei first, and then pulled Qu Qiniang and went to the backyard of Qiu's house.

Along the way, Qu Qi Niang's legs were shaking, and her heart was full of panic and uneasiness.

"I thought that people like you were not afraid of anything!" Lu Zhaoyi looked at her and teased her.

Qu Qiniang's cheeks were flushed, she was aggrieved in her heart, and she couldn't say anything in her heart.

Looking at the appearance of this picture, she knew that this girl was still quite arrogant, turned around, and continued to go to the backyard of the Qiu family with her.

didn't walk a few steps, just after passing the door, she saw Cai Zhengjun and the palace maid walking out head-on, she couldn't help but stop, looked at Cai Zhengjun, and there was a touch of coldness in her eyes.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

She didn't notice Lu Zhaoyi's eyes, her face was smiling, and she looked familiar, and saluted the person in front of her.

"You're ......"

Now, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't figure it out, what was a concubine going to do when she gave a gift to herself?

"I have long heard that the name of Hebei pretty girl, when I see it today, it is really as rumored, it is really unbearable......"

As she spoke, Cai Zhengjun came closer and knotted in her ear, "...... Kill you! ”

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Cai Zhengjun, who she understood, put down a stone from her heart.

"Sergeant Guan, if they are all like noble concubines, can they still live in peace in this world?" Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sarcastic smile.

"It's better to go, concubine, let's go, and see! Can you kill me? Or do I pull you into the water? ”

At this time, Cai Zhengjun was stunned.

But then, she also laughed, laughing like a mess, "Okay, Lu Zhaoyi, I'm waiting for you." ”

Her eyes were a little indifferent, and they couldn't help but shudder.

By the time Lu Zhaoyi reacted, she and the palace maids beside her had already walked away.

On the side, Qu Qiniang watched the two look at each other without saying a word the whole time, but after Cai Zhengjun left, she asked softly, "She, how did she know your name?" ”

It stands to reason that one of them is from Guanzhong and the other is from Hebei, and there should be no intersection between the two.

And for this, Lu Zhaoyi was not surprised.

Back then, before she was about to marry the Huainan Zhou family, because of her appearance, her reputation had already spread throughout the Central Plains, and even Yue Di knew her.

Although Guanzhong and Hebei are far apart, there are their own news circulation channels between girls, and it is not surprising to know her name.

Lu Zhaoyi retracted his gaze and pulled the people around him, "Let's go!" Later, I will have a secret talk with Qiu Zhongcheng, and you will help me guard it. ”

"Secret? Closeted? Qu Qiniang exclaimed.

"Shh She immediately went up to cover her mouth and lowered her voice, "Be quiet, don't let the front yard ...... He heard it! ”

……

Inside the backyard.

Lu Zhaoyi met Qiu Quzi's inner family, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Pu, and the eldest and second sons born to Mrs. Zhao.

In the inner house, Mrs. Zhao was lying on the couch, holding her newborn third son in her arms, her face was full of satisfaction, and the happy appearance of this family also made her very envious.

"You're Lu Qiniang, right?" Mrs. Zhao smiled and looked at her directly, "My family said that you are serious about entering the court, which is really good, and it really gives us women a long face." ”

As she spoke, she slammed her expression, her expression suddenly distorted, and she screamed in pain, as if she had accidentally been injured.

The surrounding ladies and maidens, and the old lady's face tightened, and they came up to check the injury.

However, Mrs. Zhao quickly eased up, hooked her hand to Lu Zhaoyi, and asked her to sit on the edge of the couch.

"Although the woman is from a family, she is not as delicate as other women's families, and she wants to achieve a career since she was a child. Now, you have fought for all the women in the world, and I am happy. ”

"Mrs. Zhao is polite." Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly investigated and comforted, "Mrs. Zhao is also doing a career for Qiu Zhongcheng to guard this home?" ”

Mrs. Pu next to her hurriedly echoed, "My sister has just given birth to a child, and she needs to take care of her body with peace of mind, so don't move anymore." ”
