Yun Zhu guessed that maybe Liu Jing had decided on this name before Ah Nian was born, and it was because it was unlucky not to mention it before.

Looking at Liu Jing's complexion, Yunzhu believed Cao Xun's previous words, Liu Jing was really willing to be widowed for her deceased husband, she was not sad or bitter, and she was dedicated to raising her and her deceased husband's children.

Liu Jing is like this, it must be that Zhang Xingjian is very good to her, one is affectionate and the other is intentional, so she can transcend life and death.

Look at yourself again......

Yun Zhu smiled, first regretted the marriage by her childhood sweetheart, and then picked a marriage that had nothing to do with her feelings, and she probably couldn't taste the true taste of love in this life.

Fortunately, she is not too rare.

.

Due to the new funeral of the first emperor, there was no big event on Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace this year, and after discussing with Emperor Qianxing, Empress Dowager Cao decided to invite the family of the Dingguo Mansion to the palace for dinner.

Yunzhu didn't want to go at all, but if she didn't go, the Pan family didn't know how to arrange her, which might make the little emperor even more dissatisfied with the Li family.

Yunzhu can't afford to pay that price.

Not only did she have to go, but she also had to dress up, because in the little emperor's place, she should be a gentle aunt who would not be upset because the emperor's nephew suppressed her mother's family, because her brother was about to return to Beijing because of his brother's meritorious work in suppressing bandits, and she should have been happy and proud.

Cao Xun was waiting in the hall, and when the little lady came out, Cao Xun looked up.

Said to be dressed up, Yunzhu actually just changed into the imperial dress that the Duchess of Chaoyipin should wear when attending the palace banquet, the dress is very cumbersome, the outermost is a big red shirt with big sleeves, wearing a light gold background Xia veil, the waist is tied with a leather belt pendant jade forbidden to walk, and the head is wearing a little emerald pearl gem Zhai crown.

At that moment, all the lights in the hall seemed to be absorbed by her gorgeous clothes, and the brilliance flowed.

And the cloud-beaded eyes and pale cheeks overshadowed this gorgeous dress.

Until Yunzhu came to Cao Xun, Cao Xun was still looking at her.

Yunzhu glared at him: "I've been watching it for a year and a half, will I still look stupid?" ”

Cao Xun smiled and teased her: "If I just look at it and don't look at it, you will definitely be angry." ”

Yunzhu snorted.

The couple went to the main hall.

After waiting for a while, Cao Shao came with Mrs. Pan.

Pan and Yunzhu are similar in costume, she is only in her forties, and she is still a beautiful woman when she wears a red shirt.

Cao Xun glanced at it casually and then withdrew his gaze.

Cao Shao saw Yunzhu's appearance, his heart beat faster, his eyes evaded, he thought a lot, but he forgot his feet, and stumbled when he entered the door.

They are all six-rank officials, and they are so stupid, Yun Zhu lowered his eyes and smiled.

Whatever Cao Xun thinks, he doesn't help her anyway, she laughs if she likes to laugh!

Chapter 75 "Nineteen years old is still a child, twenty is considered a real adult."

The biting wind howled almost the whole winter, but it was calm down in the past few days, the sky was clear during the day, the sun was shining, and there was only a slight breeze in the evening.

The two carriages of the Dingguo Mansion drove steadily towards the imperial city.

Cao Shao rode a horse and followed his brother, his eyes tossing and turning between his brother's loose but upright back and the carriage next to him.

He has a weak heart.

Usually in front of his brother and mother, he always hides that he still thinks of Yunzhu in his heart, but just now he lost his temper to the point that he almost tripped, and he was so stupid that he looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The bright appearance of Yunzhu in a red wide-sleeved shirt was deeply imprinted in his mind, like the bright full moon slowly rising in the sky on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, like a glossy pearl that bloomed softly after opening the box in the night room.

Cao Shao once listened to a few young people who drank a lot of wine at the banquet to comment on women, saying that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls are delicate flowers, the most beautiful and lovely, once they get married, they gradually become boring, and their beauty will feel ordinary after a long time, and it is not as good as the newcomer to look at the freshness.

After tonight, Yunzhu will be twenty.

But Cao Shao felt that those nonsense words couldn't be put on Yun Zhu at all, the Yun Zhu in his eyes was far more dazzling than the fifteen or sixteen-year-old little girl, if he saw the current Yun Zhu at the beginning, Cao Shao might not have the courage to go to her to offer courtesy, although he was already a noble and extraordinary little uncle in the eyes of others.

Some women are beautiful and weak, everyone can be bullied, Yunzhu is so beautiful that she is high, and men are cattle and horses that can be called in her eyes.

To this day, Cao Shao has long understood that Yunzhu probably didn't have much affection for him from the beginning, the problem is that he was willing to call her at the beginning, and he will not regret it now, and even if there is a chance to continue to call her in a dignified manner, Cao Shao will desperately seize this opportunity, and will never let himself gain and lose again.

It's a pity that it is difficult for him to wait for such an opportunity anymore, because she is his sister-in-law.

.

When the imperial city arrived, the four of Yunzhu walked along the long palace road towards the Qianqing Palace.

In addition to Emperor Qianxing and Empress Dowager Cao, there are also the mother of the eldest prince King An, Concubine Xian, and Princess Yi'an's mother Concubine Hui.

The other childless low-ranking concubines were not invited to tonight's palace banquet.

Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui talked softly, Emperor Qianxing sat on the other side, and checked Princess Yi'an's homework seriously, he was only two years older than this sister, it was nothing more than that he was usually disciplined by the queen mother, and he deliberately teased his sister tonight, as long as Princess Yi'an was wrong, he would paste a note on Princess Yi'an's face.

Princess Yi'an didn't like this emperor's brother at all, but she and her mother had to rely on Emperor Qianxing's snort, so she could only pretend to be coquettish and play with her.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the two uncles and Mrs. Tai have arrived."

When Emperor Qianxing heard this, he forgot to put a sticker on his sister's face, and subconsciously looked outside the hall.

Empress Dowager Cao smiled: "Please come in." ”

Princess Yi'an took advantage of the emperor's brother's attention to divert his attention and quickly tore off the notes on her face.

Pan took Yunzhu in front, and Cao Xun and Cao Shao followed behind.

Emperor Qianxing didn't know what others were doing, anyway, he saw the beautiful aunt at a glance, and the usual aunt was beautiful enough, and tonight was simply ......

It wasn't until Yunzhu and the others bowed their heads and saluted that Emperor Qianxing looked away with difficulty and glanced at the two uncles, one was the righteous husband of the beautiful aunt, and the other was the former childhood sweetheart of the beautiful aunt. ”

Yunzhu stood up straight, lowered her eyes, and looked respectful and gentle.

Empress Dowager Cao said: "Mother and sister-in-law took Zhai Guan, it's weird and tired to wear it." ”

Two palace maids came over with a smile and helped the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take off the heavy Zhai crown and put it aside for the time being.

Yunzhu followed Pan and sat down on Empress Dowager Cao's side.

Princess Yi'an took the opportunity to come over and sit beside Concubine Hui, but her moist eyes kept staring at Yunzhu.

The little girl's eyes were bright with appreciation and liking.

Yunzhu smiled at her.

Princess Yi'an actually blushed.

Because of the small number of people, the banquet was not separated, but the ladies chatted lively, and Emperor Qianxing was not easy to interject, so he could only chat with the two uncles.

After the banquet, there is a fireworks festival in the palace.

At this time, Princess Yi'an and Yunzhu were also familiar, and affectionately pulled Yunzhu to enjoy the fireworks in front of the guardrail, and the Empress Dowager Cao, Pan and others held their identities and continued to sit in front of the table specially placed for the convenience of the nobles to enjoy the fireworks, including Cao Xun and Cao Shao, who also sat steadily.

Emperor Qianxing sat for a while, relying on his young age, and also ran to the guardrail.

Princess Yi'an stood on the left side of Yunzhu, and Emperor Qianxing stood on the right side of Yunzhu.

When Yunzhu saw him, he curtched first: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Qianxing smiled: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, tonight's fireworks are still beautiful?" ”

Yun Zhu looked at the place where the palace people set off the fireworks, and said with a smile: "The fireworks in the palace are naturally beautiful. ”

Emperor Qianxing looked at the side face of his beautiful aunt who was reflected by the palace lights and fireworks, and only felt that all the fireworks were not as good as her.

Because there were people behind him, Emperor Qianxing quickly withdrew his gaze, but he wanted to talk to his beautiful aunt again, thought about it, and mentioned Li Yao: "Is Li Shizi about to return to Beijing?" ”

Yunzhu squinted at the little emperor and said, "Yes, I just don't know if I can catch the Lantern Festival." ”

Emperor Qianxing's mind followed the beautiful aunt: "Li Shizi has made meritorious efforts to suppress bandits, and I will definitely reward him heavily." ”

Yun Zhu smiled and said softly: "Really, I thought that the emperor sent his brother to such a far away place to suppress bandits, because he didn't like him." ”

Emperor Qianxing really didn't like Li Yao, but he intended to please his beautiful aunt, of course he had to deny it: "Where, my aunt completely misunderstood, because Fuzhou had failed to suppress bandits for many years, and I trusted Li Shizi to ask him to go, and sure enough, Li Shizi did not disappoint me." ”

Yunzhu didn't respond immediately, turned to the left, and touched Princess Yi'an's head: "Is the princess cold?" Do you want to send someone to fetch the cloak? ”

Princess Yi'an said obediently: "It's not cold, what about my aunt?" ”

Yunzhu wears many layers on her body, and of course it won't be cold.

After a while, she glanced at the little emperor again: "Since the emperor said so, then I will believe it, don't lie to me." ”

The gentle and soft tail note tickled Emperor Qianxing's bones, and he hurriedly promised: "Uncle don't worry, as soon as Li Shizi returns to Beijing, I will reward him generously!" ”

Yun Zhu smiled, touched his throat and said, "I'm a little thirsty, the emperor and the princess take a look slowly, and I'll go back to the table to drink tea." ”

With that, she left between the two and a half children.

Empress Dowager Cao, Pan Shi, Cao Xun and others all looked at her.

Yunzhu smiled decently, walked unhurriedly, and sat down at the bottom of Pan's head as if nothing happened.

In front of the guardrail, Emperor Qianxing, who was in a good mood, came to Princess Yi'an's side, pointing to a cluster of fireworks that had just risen into the sky and asked his sister to see, which was quite childish.

When Empress Dowager Cao and Pan saw this scene, they suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Yunzhu drank tea before glancing at Cao Xun casually.

Cao Xun was watching the fireworks, and Uncle Guo, who was in his early thirties, tilted his head slightly, and his face was more handsome than that of the little uncle next to him.

At the moment when Yunzhu looked over, a cluster of fireworks bloomed in the eyes of the big uncle, and the little uncle who was sitting side by side next to him rolled his Adam's apple nervously, as if he knew that someone was watching them.

.

The fireworks are all over, and Yunzhu and the others are about to leave the palace.

At this time, it was obviously colder than when I entered the palace, and the palace road was paved with extremely hard stone slabs, and walking on it was like walking on ice.

No matter how cold it was, he could only endure it, and it wasn't until he got into the carriage that Yunzhu immediately put a soup woman in the car between his feet to keep warm.

Cao Xun glanced at the side of the car window.

Yun Zhu was still adjusting Tang Pozi's position, not noticing his gaze.

As soon as he got it, a pair of hands suddenly reached out next to him, picked up her legs and put them on his lap.

Yunzhu was stunned, and his two hands subconsciously supported the couch behind him.

Cao Xun took off her two shoes one after another, lifted the hem of her clothes, and put the little lady's feet in her arms.
