Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 123 Unexpected surprise
Lu Yi knew that Emperor Heng was also very helpless.

It is true that the Queen Mother's scheming and means will definitely not leave any evidence.

What's more, many years have passed, and there is no way to find out the situation at that time. Even the imperial physician who made the diagnosis and treatment back then is no longer there, so there is no way to find out.

I mentioned it to Lu Xu at dinner, but Lu Xu had a new opinion: "No matter how scheming the Queen Mother is, no matter how clever her methods are, it is impossible for one person to do so many things. Some things can only be done by the Queen Mother."

"When there is a transaction, there will be a trace."

Lu Yi added, carrying a chopsticks of food into his daughter's bowl.

Suddenly remembered something and said: "I told the emperor, your body needs to rest in bed, and you will not ask about the court and harem until you recover."

Naturally, I have no opinion on Lu Xu. Anyway, he has already complained to the outside world, so he simply was lazy at home, and he heard his father say leisurely: "After some consideration, the emperor decided to choose another person to take your place, and give me your token. Tomorrow I will return it to the emperor."

When the token was mentioned suddenly, Lu Xu remembered that he still had a position.

When she was studying with the prince, except for the prince who didn't know how much cultivation, she was rewarded with a token after defeating everyone.

There is only the word "Dragon Sparrow" on it. When I grow up, I realize that it is the status symbol of the Nanli Dragon Sparrow Envoy, but the main duty of the Dragon Sparrow Envoy is to remove obstacles for the royal family.

Due to physical reasons these years, Lu Xu was not qualified for this position, so it was understandable to replace him.

"Why, not happy?"

Seeing that her daughter didn't respond for a long time, Lu Yi asked lightly.

Lu Xu shook his head and said, "It's okay to return the token, but Qingluan and the others have to go too."

The four maids have been with her for a few years, and she is used to them being around, especially Zhu Xi's cooking skills. She and her father might not be used to it if they change the cook.

"According to the rules, they have to follow the Dragon Sparrow Envoy."

Lu Yi knew that his daughter was reluctant to part with the four girls, but the rules could not be violated.

The main emperor has made a decision, there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and the token will be taken away after lunch
Lu Xu couldn't hide the fact that it was a fact. Before going to sleep, he called the four maids to his face and announced that the emperor had withdrawn the Dragon Sparrow Order, so that they were ready to leave.

The sudden result made the four girls really shocked and helpless. Obedience to orders was the first rule they learned, but they had been with Lu Xu for many years, and they were already used to the current life, so they were naturally reluctant to leave suddenly.

Lu Xu squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, if you miss me, come back and have a look... They're all in the capital."

In fact, she can pretend to be confused and not mention the four girls, but the rules are the rules, and they will be there wherever the token is.

"Tomorrow morning, you will enter the palace with your father..."

Lu Xu paused and said, "Qingluan, Qingniao, go to the clothes room and bring the box on top of the winter wardrobe."

The two didn't know what Lu Xu was going to do, so they carried the box over as promised, and Lu Xu opened the box and said, "I have nothing to give you as a farewell, here are four sets of soft gold silk armor, after Qingluan was injured in an accident last time, I specially prepared it for you, but I never had the chance to send it out."

"You are leaving tomorrow, and today is just for you."

Lu Xu held back his tears and said: "In the future, when you go on missions, wear it on your body, and ordinary swords and swords will not be able to hurt you."

Qingluan and the others didn't expect to part so soon, or they never thought that they would leave, but the imperial decree cannot be violated and the rules cannot be reversed, so they saluted Lu Xu and went back to their rooms to pack their things.

No one was prepared for the sudden separation.

The emperor took back her token, which seemed to be obedience to his father, but in fact it was an explanation to Qingxinhou's residence.

Lu Xu lay on the bed thinking wildly, and before he knew it, it was four o'clock, his weak body couldn't resist the sleepiness, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that the sky was already bright.

Hugging the quilt quickly, she sat up and called Suzaku out of habit.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and it wasn't Suzaku who came in, but Nanny Ji who was beside the old lady.

Followed by two well-groomed maids, both holding the usual washing things, Lu Xu remembered that Qingluan and the others should already be in the palace by this time.

Nanny Ji stepped forward and said to the bewildered Lu Xu: "Miss Six, Master Liu went up to the old lady and said that the girl next to you was originally from the palace, and now they have other errands to do, so let the old lady choose two." Let a girl serve you in your room."

"Grandmother is worrying." Lu Xu sat on the bed and said, "After the injury on my foot heals, I will go over and thank grandma face to face."

"Miss Six is ​​serious about taking care of her. The old lady doesn't care about these vain rituals. She just hopes that Miss Six will recover soon."

Mother Ji said again: "Time is short, I picked two girls from Jinhua Pavilion, the old lady said that Miss Six will order them first, and then send them over to serve you when there are good ones."

"I haven't seen Miss Six soon."

"My servant has met Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss Yu'an!"

The two maids stepped forward to salute obediently, kneeling on the ground, not daring to look at Lu Xu at all.

Lu Xu looked at her lightly and said, "The elder sister who is next to grandma is naturally reliable."

Looking up and down at the slightly younger girl with a round face, she asked, "What's your name and how old are you?"

"Miss Hui, this maidservant is June, 15 years old this year." The girl smiled sweetly and said, "She used to serve the old lady's living and eating in Sanqing Temple."

"Miss Hui, the maidservant is calling for April, the sixteenth year of this year." The slightly older girl replied gracefully: "The maidservant is serving the old lady's pen and ink in Sanqing Temple."

"They're all neat and easy-to-remember names."

Lu Xu also did not forget to give a compliment, although it was not fancy, it was very easy to say.

He just reminded her as soon as he opened his mouth that they were maids who had served the old lady, and it was clear that they didn't want to follow her habits.

Mother Ji instructed the two maids: "In April, take care of Sixth Miss's grooming, and in June, go to the kitchen. Don't miss Sixth Miss's time for breakfast."

After arranging the work of the two of them properly, Mother Ji left, and Lu Xu also leaned forward and said, "Nurse Ji, go slowly, and say hello to grandma for me."

After rinsing his mouth and face, Lu Xu sat down in front of the mirror.

Si Yue picked up the comb and said, "What kind of bun does Miss Six usually like to wear?"

Before coming to Shangsu Garden, Nanny Ji told them about Miss Six's situation. Even though she had been mentally prepared, she almost dropped her eyes when she suddenly saw Miss Six's face.

When they were in Sanqing Nunnery, they had heard many rumors about Miss Six.

Knowing that she is the number one beauty in Nanli Country, I imagined her beauty before coming here, but the real person is still far beyond expectations.

How could the number one beauty in Nanli Country match her? It was clearly a fairy from the sky who came down to earth. Even if she just woke up and hadn't washed up, she was still so beautiful that they missed a few beats of heartbeat just now.

Thinking of this, Si Yue couldn't help but said: "No wonder the abbot of Xiangguo Temple forbids Miss Six to go to Xiangguo Temple, she is really a monk who wants to go down to earth after seeing her."
Lu Xu was a little unhappy when he heard it, but he didn't want to argue with a girl, so he thought about it and said, "I'm not going out today anyway, just help me comb my hair."

Si Yue is indeed an ingenious girl. In addition to helping Lu Xu comb her long hair, she also combed the hair on the side of the ear to the back, coiled it into a silvery white rose, and pinned it to one side.

Behind the ears, it is convenient to have breakfast later.

Lu Xu looked at it and said, "That's right, let's comb like this from now on."

When the breakfast was served, Lu Xu said in surprise, "These are... who made the breakfast."

June sweetly smiled and said: "The people in the kitchen said that Sister Zhuxi was afraid that the lady would not get used to it, so she made breakfast for the lady before leaving, and even made a lot of snacks overnight."

Lu Xu gave a soft oh, finished her breakfast silently, and sat by the window reading a book until Shangguan Shouruo came to help her change her medicine.

If Shangguan Shou didn't see the figures of the four girls, he had to inform the old lady before he came in, and the person who led him in was also a strange girl, so he asked curiously:

"What about your four birds, why don't they serve you in front of you today."

"They have gone back, and they will not be by my side in the future." Lu Xu replied indifferently, and then introduced him: "This is April and June, and it was sent by my grandmother."

"April, June, this is Shangguan's miraculous doctor who has treated me for a long time. He is a frequent visitor here." Lu Xu said lightly: "Next time he comes, you don't have to inform the old lady until you bring him to my room." It's fine."

"The servant understands."

"Hello, Mr. Shangguan."

April and June respectfully greet Shangguan Shouruo.

Shangguan Shouruo said regretfully, "It's a pity that I won't be able to eat dim sum made by Zhu Xi again in the future."

Lu Xu put down his book and said, "June, go to the kitchen to get Mr. Shangguan a plate of snacks, and make a pot of our good tea. In order to make it appear that I am seriously ill, Mr. Shangguan has to finish eating the snacks before leaving." .”

"Crested Ibis made it!?" Shangguan Shouruo asked in surprise.

"I made it overnight, because I'm afraid I won't be used to it."

Lu Xu's voice was choked with sobs, they had been together for many years, and they separated unexpectedly.

Shangguan Shouruo immediately said: "Don't cry in front of me, someone sees and thinks I'm bullying you, take out your foot and let me see the wound."

"In April, move the embroidered pier and give me a place to rest my feet."

Lu Xu pointed to Xiudun next to her, motioning for Si Yue to move to her side.

Si Yue brought an embroidered pier, put Lu Xu's injured foot on it, and gently rolled up his trousers.

Seeing the wound on Lu Xu's foot suddenly, Si Yue couldn't help gasping. She didn't expect Miss Six to be so seriously injured. No wonder the old lady repeatedly told them to take care of it.

Shangguan Shouruo glanced at the wound, frowned and said, "Your body is too weak, even the wound is recovering slower than I imagined, so you should rest and recuperate from now on."

After cleaning the wound, he applied the medicine again. He took out another bottle and said, "The wound is very itchy, so just apply a little of this ointment. Don't scratch it with your hands. If you develop a high fever, even a god can't help it."

Turning back to the two girls, he said, "Beans are not allowed in your young lady's diet for the time being."

April and June responded one after another, and Lu Xu said flatly, "In April, go get a basin of water for Mr. Shangguan to wash his hands, and in June, bring over snacks and tea."

After all, he is a newcomer. I don't know if the old lady has ordered something. She stayed by the side to monitor Shangguan Shouruo to give Lu Xu medicine, completely ignoring what Lu Xu had explained earlier, so Lu Xu had to give the order again.

The two maids agreed and left the room in a hurry.

Shangguan Shouruo said with a smile: "It seems that the old lady is very nervous about you, and specially sent people around to take care of you."

"Qingluan and the others left in a hurry, and my father was worried that I would have no one to serve me, so I asked my grandmother for help." Lu Xu spread his hands and said, "There were not many people in Shangsuyuan, and once they left, there was nothing available around me, so my grandmother gave it to me." Two maids came over and said that they were serving grandma in Sanqing nunnery."

Shangguan Shouruo immediately understood that it was people from the old lady's house, and it was not easy for Lu Xu to use it smoothly and it was not easy to show it on his face, so he had to tell them repeatedly.

April brings water soon.

Shangguan Shou Ruojing chatted with Lu Xu, just to ask her about her health.

June brought snacks and tea, placed them on the small table in front of Lu Xu, quickly poured two cups of tea, put one cup in front of Shangguan Shouruo, and one cup in front of Lu Xu, and stood beside him holding the tray.

Shangguan Shouruo brought Lu Xu's tea in front of him: "Your lady is taking medicine and it is not appropriate to drink tea. Go get a copper pot and a small charcoal stove to boil water for her to drink."

"Also, the weather is getting colder every day, and the charcoal stove in the house is just to keep her warm, but remember to ventilate to avoid charcoal poisoning."

"In addition..." Shangguan Shouruo paused and said: "Your lady is more afraid of the cold than ordinary people, and she has to take out her winter clothes to bask in the sun. She usually sits here reading a book, remember to put on a cloak for her, Prepare the small hand stove."

"Miss……"

In June, Lu Xu's opinion was immediately sought.

Lu Xu said lightly: "You must listen to the doctor's words, you go and do it."

It was through Shangguan Shouruo's mouth that he said everything he wanted to say, the corners of Lu Xu's mouth slightly raised.

These things were all in Qingluan's plan, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, they left too hastily and didn't have time to explain many things.

The habits and preferences of the father and daughter cannot be recorded with pen and paper, lest they be leaked and taken advantage of by those who care about them. Now they can only get in touch with each other little by little. I hope the two girls can get familiar with Shangsu Garden as soon as possible.

Shangguan Shouruo really left after eating a plate of dim sum, but he didn't go back directly to the house, but went to the tea house near the Taiyuan Academy.

Lu Xu continued to sit under the window and read a book, and suddenly a cloak was added to his shoulders, and he saw a familiar figure turn around, and deftly stuffed a hand stove into her hand.

"Suzaku..."

Lu Xu put down the book in surprise and surprise and asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you go back to the palace and reassign the errand?"

Suzaku tidied up the things on the small table and said: "The empress said that the four styles of slaves and maidservants have taken shape, and it is difficult to get used to the new dragon bird envoy. It is better to let the new dragon bird envoy re-select people and train a few new ones according to her wishes. Effective subordinates use it."

"As for the four servants, there is no suitable position for the time being, so we can only stay with the lady in the future." Suzaku looked at Lu Xu aggrievedly after finishing speaking.

"It's good if you can stay, don't worry about the rest." Lu Xu was as happy as a child, when he heard Qingluan's voice coming in: "Don't worry about anything, now the servants have no jobs and no rights, from now on, Miss will have everyone You have to pay monthly money to the servants, otherwise the servants will not work."

"Don't worry, you are indispensable."

Surprisingly, Lu Xu didn't care about the little money.
