Regarding the Ming family, Li Jingyi's attitude is that he can take care of them a little, and even let them be prosperous and rich for the rest of their lives, after all, they are his mother's relatives. But if they want more, they don't.

He went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom with Master Ming, and on the way Master Ming said: "Your mother was cute when she was a child, and every time the New Year comes, the elders in the family like to stuff New Year's money into her pocket." But she's a thrift, and she saves all the money to buy things for your grandparents and grandparents......"

Along the way, he said a lot of things about Concubine Ming's childhood, and Li Jingyi listened to it with warmth and sadness in his heart. It would be nice if his mother hadn't been killed.

While speaking, they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and when Mrs. Mingda and Mingyu saw him, they immediately got up and saluted, and then sat down to talk. Naturally, praise Mingyu is indispensable between words, and Mingyu's eyes when he looks at Li Jingyi are also affectionate.

Li Jingyi felt her gaze, couldn't help frowning, and after talking for a while, he got up and left, and Master Ming hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Master Ming was entangled for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, when your mother and concubine had not had an accident, we discussed your relationship with Mingyu. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Jingyi's face immediately sank, but Master Ming didn't seem to see the expression on his face, and continued: "Although your mother is gone, the original agreement has to continue." ”

"Caritas Qing," Li Jingyi's face was so heavy that he could almost drip ink, and he said: "The things of the year were unfounded, and besides, I passed on to King Xiaoyao, and my family affairs are not for Concubine Ming to decide." Don't say anything like that in the future. ”

"But back then, your family affairs have been decided, what if you regret it now, Your Majesty, let your cousin?" Master Ming said anxiously.

"Presumptuous!"

Li Jingyi shouted angrily, and Master Ming hurriedly knelt down.

I heard Li Jingyi say again: "Ming Wenmao, I miss the brother-sister affection between you and Concubine Ming, and I have tolerated you many times, but I didn't expect you to be so rude." I tell you again that my father is the King of Freedom, and I have no concubine. You are not my uncle, remember your own identity. ”

After returning to Beijing, every time Li Jingyi saw his family, although he was not very warm, he also took good care of him in the past, and today is the first time to scold him like this. Master Ming was so frightened that cold sweat came out, he hurriedly kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "It's the minister's mistake, it's the minister's mistake." ”

Li Jingyi looked at him with a heavy gaze for a while before saying, "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

Master Ming stood up tremblingly, and Li Jingyi waved his hand impatiently to let him out. During the Chinese New Year, his good mood was disturbed by him. It wasn't until Ye De originally reported that the Duchess of Dingguo and the county lord of Kangle were here and were in Cining Palace, that his mood improved, and he hurriedly got up and went to Cining Palace.

When he arrived, he saw Xiao Yuzhu sitting next to the Queen Mother, and was held by the Queen Mother to speak. Seeing that the hairpin on her head and the jade pendant on her waist were all sent by herself today, Li Jingyi felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and her hand involuntarily touched the jade pendant on her waist.

Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu both got up and saluted him, he hurriedly returned the salute, and then several people sat down to talk. After a while, the Empress Dowager looked for an opportunity to let the two go out and give them a chance to be alone. After they went out, the Empress Dowager wanted to tell Tang Shuyi several times to let the two children get married, but they all endured it.

Tang Shuyi guessed from her expression, but she didn't know what to do. She and Xiao Huai both felt that now was not the time for the two to get married.

The palace banquet went smoothly, and after the end, the families left the palace one after another. At the gate of the palace, Ming Yu stared at Xiao Yuzhu, and when Mrs. Ming saw this, she hurriedly pulled her, "If you stare at people like this, you will be said that there is no courtesy." ”

Mingyu twisted the handkerchief and got into his carriage, and then said to Mrs. Mingda: "Mother, have you seen it, Xiao Yuzhu's hairpin and jade pendant are a pair with my cousin."

Mrs. Ming sighed: "Yu'er, you can't compete with her, our family can't compete with the Dingguo Mansion." So don't think about the position of the queen, just be able to enter the palace and be a concubine. ”

At this time, Master Ming got into the carriage, and when he heard her words, he said with a calm face: "I'm afraid that Yu'er's entry into the palace will not be done." ”

Ming Yu looked anxious when she heard this, and Mrs. Ming hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" What did the emperor say? ”

Master Ming: "I told the emperor that he had a marriage contract with Yu'er, but the emperor said that there was no evidence and no certificate, and he didn't admit it." ”

"It's... How can this not be admitted? Mrs. Ning said: "Yu'er is his cousin, we don't ask for the position of the queen, can't we be a concubine?" ”

And at this moment, Mingyu cried, "I don't care, I'll just wait, wait for him to draft." ”

"Yes, we are waiting for the draft, and we can't let other people's daughters enter the palace, not his cousin." Mrs. Ming also said.

Master Ming kept his face calm and didn't speak, and after a while, Mrs. Ming said again: "Otherwise, we will spread it out now, and the emperor has a marriage contract with us Yu'er." ”

Master Ming frowned and pondered, and then said: "Don't wait until the draft, if he doesn't let Yu'er enter the palace, we will spread the news again." ”

After all, the marriage contract does not exist at all, and Li Jingyi only needs to ask the second master Ming, and everything will be clear.

Mrs. Mingda and Mingyu both nodded, and the family was unhappy for the New Year.

……

After the New Year, Tang Shuyi began to prepare for Xiao Yuming's wedding. I have prepared a wedding before, and this time I am experienced and a lot more handy.

was so busy that the day before the wedding, Tang Shuyi said to Xiao Huai again: "You go and tell your son about the cave house." ”

Xiao Huai is also experienced in this matter, he took a few books to Xiao Yuming's courtyard, threw them to him, and then said: "You study and study, so as not to be embarrassed in the cave house tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yuming is not shy, when he was in the barracks, those rough soldiers often told meat jokes, although he had not experienced some things, he still heard a lot. He took the book and opened it, and it felt quite fresh. Seeing him like this, Xiao Huai didn't say anything and turned away.

On the second day, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai got up early, Tang Shuyi finished dressing up, and said to the mirror: "I think time flies very fast, and in the blink of an eye, our second son is about to get married." ”

suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuming went to the Qinglou and was picked up by her to sneak back, and couldn't help laughing. The boy of the year has grown up now.

Xiao Huai asked her what she was laughing at, she told her about it, and Xiao Huai laughed too. Then he looked at the woman in the mirror, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her body was slim, and she was in her thirties, looking at twenty-eight or nineteen.

Hugging her waist from behind, he said, "Actually, our youth has just begun. ”

Tang Shuyi laughed, well, as long as the mentality is young, you will always be young.
