Chapter 18 Xiao Huan Returns to Beijing
Linglong Pavilion.

Several watering girls in the yard looked at each other in dismay, their expressions flustered. There was another loud sound of broken porcelain from inside, accompanied by a suppressed and angry scream, and they hurriedly bowed their heads to work.

Li Ruyue was panting, two of her long nails were broken, she was weird, her collar was crooked, her messy bun was loose, her tight and thin lips were not covered by the blush, coupled with those red phoenix eyes, she looked extraordinarily mean.

Cui Liu Cui Ming lowered her head and carefully picked up the debris all over the floor, not daring to glance at the embarrassed Second Miss.

"Moon!"

Lin Qing hurried over after getting the news, and almost missed stepping on the sharp shard. The originally ornately furnished back room was in a mess. She didn't care about other things, she ordered the maid to clean it up quickly, and dragged her daughter into the bedroom.

"Li Ru'an! How dare she insult me ​​like this! Mrs. Gao died a long time ago, you are now the wife, and I am the first wife of the Li family!" Li Ruyue now only wants to tear up the face that made her angry and jealous.

"It seems that she conspired with that Wang Er. She rescued the talent and came back. Don't worry, Yue'er. With her soft temper, you forgot how she was fooled by us before? Today, I guess it's because I know I'm going to kill her." What happened to her was just a moment of anger."

Lin Qing took out a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's face, she also has a headache now, only Wang Er knows her plan, but her whereabouts are unknown at this time, she is really worried, now that girl has returned to the mansion, and she has gone to the Jingxin Pavilion With that old thing in place, she can't do anything in the mansion, and she also knows Li Yuan's nature well. In fact, as long as it is profitable, he won't care which daughter is married. She has to make plans for her daughter early.

"Mom, what should I do? If Daddy sees her now, he will definitely not take the risk of offending the Queen Mother to intercede for me, so what should I do? I won't be able to stay in this capital anymore!"

Li Ruyue is not in the mood to think about anything else now. She has vaguely revealed this marriage to several ladies from aristocratic families. Their envy and jealousy have given her a huge sense of vanity. Biggest joke.

"Your father accompanied His Majesty to the Nanshan Bieyuan, and he probably won't be back in a few days. Wait for Mother to figure out a way, think about it carefully..."

Kyoto City Gate
At dusk, it was the time of the rush to return to the city, but today the city gate was separated by a wooden fence with a central road. Two neat and solemn soldiers stood separately, and the people could only enter the city from the two sides. In the open space in front, two tall and strong men Wearing iron armor and a red top iron helmet, behind him is a team of hundreds of people, with straight waists and a heroic posture.

A few officials in front of the city gate were wearing official uniforms and official hats, stroking their beards and looking up the avenue from time to time, looking expectant.

What is this big guy waiting for?Passers-by talked one after another, those who entered the city and those who hadn't entered the city simply stayed where they were, watching the fun with curiosity.

"Such a big battle to welcome them, could it be that they are envoys from foreign countries?" Passer-by A took out melon seeds and gnawed on them, and stood on tiptoe to look up the avenue vigorously.

"Stupid, it's freezing cold, who wants to go on a mission at this time?" Passer-by B despised it, causing several people to agree.

"You guys don't have any knowledge. Do you come here whenever you want? It depends on the current situation and the king's strategy, for example..." Passerby C knocked on his folding fan, and made a long speech, drooling.

"...Are you talking about books?"

"Aren't you cold by shaking your fan in winter?"

"I know who it is." A sudden voice came out, attracting everyone's attention.

"Who and so?" Gossip passers-by.

"Say it quickly! Don't hold your breath!" The passer-by was angry.

"Give me some melon seeds."

"...Are you looking for a draw?"

"Okay, I say, I say, don't you forget who just won the battle?"

"Prince Huan!"

"That's right, it's the [-] soldiers who fought against the [-] army of the Mocang Kingdom, and returned with a big victory!"

"Ah! I actually forgot such a big event as the prince's return to court! I shouldn't have!"

"It's been so many years, and I don't know if the lord has suntanned in the bitter cold of the northern region, whether he has gained weight or lost weight..." A mournful female voice rang out, and immediately a group of female voices echoed.

"...Lady, I'm still standing here for my husband."

……

The sun was setting in the west of the mountain, and the sky was full of sunset glow, which reflected the armor of the soldiers on the city wall red. In the glow, a group of people and horses appeared on the avenue.

The horses are tall and strong, and there are more than a dozen dignified figures on the horse, and the handsome soldiers walk slowly. The man in the middle is a white horse with a white coat and a long coat. His hair is like ink, his face is like jade, his sword eyebrows are sharp, his nose is like a gall, and his thin lips are sexy. Fengshen is handsome and reveals an innate nobility.

"Ah, it's really Prince Huan!"

Screams rang out one after another, and the crowd was so passionate that they startled several officials. They couldn't care about other things, and they held their official hats, smiled and walked quickly to meet them.

"The next official welcomes the prince!"

"Form up!" The two leaders shouted loudly, leading the neat team behind Xiao Huan to the front of Xiao Huan's horse, got off the horse, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Congratulations, General!" The voices were uniform and powerful.

"Everyone, please stand up." Xiao Huan raised his hand, his voice was thick, magnetic and penetrating.

Xu Zhizhou, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy driver is still in the Nanshan Bieyuan, and the officials here are specially ordered to wait here. Your Majesty has given you the residence of the Prince, and the officials will guide the way for the Prince."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, Xu Shangshu, I'm sorry."

The army in front opened the way, Xiao Huan and his party walked slowly, the surrounding people and passers-by were quiet, only the sound of iron hooves remained.

"King Huan is mighty!" Someone in the crowd shouted, followed by several times, and the crowd became excited and shouted loudly.

King Huan is mighty!King Huan is mighty!
The crowd lined up from the outside of the city to the inside of the city, consciously forming a line to come out, and the orderly shouts attracted more people to come one after another, and the water couldn't get through.

I don't know which bold girl threw a cloud hairpin flower, and suddenly it seemed like a pot exploded, and the sachets, handkerchiefs, and flowers enveloped the group in all directions, and the woman screamed one after another, excited.

A pink veil was placed on Yan Mo's head, trying to suppress the twitching corners of his eyes, he glanced at Xiao Huan, who was unrestrained and unrestrained, gritted his teeth and said to Yi Xing next to him, "Look, it's been six years, and I still haven't seen it." Change, with him here, those little ladies don't see me!"

Yi Xing, with the red hairpin on his head, closed his eyes and nodded, deeply agreeing. Feeling a little itchy on the back of his neck, he reached out to touch his collar and clenched his back molars.

Who the hell threw melon seeds! ?

An Ran Court

Xuegu lit the incense stick, inserted it into the small incense burner, knelt down on the futon and kowtowed.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry for you, I let the lady go through those dangerous things. Now the lady's temperament has changed so much that the servant is shocked, but I think it's so good that I won't be bullied again. The lady is very smart and left you alone." Those medical books have been learned, they can punish the wicked, and they can also save people. If you see it, you will be relieved. Now that you are back, your spirit in the sky will bless the young lady, keep her safe and smooth, and everything will go well."

After the house was cleaned, the window sills were bright, elegant and simple, and the four-corner censers were burning with sandalwood incense. Alan wandered around, full of novelties, and Zi Yan sorted out the things he bought in the morning.

Li Ru'an was lazily lying on the toffee soft chair, just now I learned from the servant that Li Yuan was not in the mansion, Li Ren followed his wife to the West Street Zhaitang, and will return tomorrow, so the old lady in Jingxin Pavilion is left.

Thinking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, the voice of Mama Sun from Jingxin Pavilion came from outside, asking Li Ru'an to accompany the old lady for dinner.

"I asked Mum Sun a lot, and she said that the old lady was very happy to hear that my sister came back today. She also asked the back kitchen to prepare the winter bamboo shoots that my sister used to eat, and invited the other three girls over."

Xuegu smoothed the corners of Li Ru'an's skirt, and said happily, after the old man left, the old lady was the only elder in the house, and everyone had to make offerings. Mother Yang was right, if she came back this time, she could get closer to her Some, Lin's side will also be afraid.

Li Ru'an didn't have any other impressions of the old lady in his memory, except that she always held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she looked cold and indifferent to everyone.

The sun is setting and the sunset is fading away. Behind her, Xuegu is holding a green bamboo sand lantern, and the soft light is flickering. Li Ruan walks through the small garden on a tidy stone path. Cold orchids, winter chrysanthemums, snowy plums and white frost are trembling slightly against the wind. Standing upright, it is really beautiful, and then go around the promenade, the reflection of the pavilions, the rockery, the fish swimming leisurely, quite elegant, and then walk a hundred steps, and you will see the courtyard where Jingyi is seated.

"I've met the eldest lady." Mama Sun came up to her with a pleasant smile, and opened the curtain to lead the two of them into the house.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is here."

The interior of the house is simple and simple, and the five-legged incense burner in the center of the room is burning red sandalwood incense. On the main seat is an old woman with a dark gray forehead and a purple cotton coat. Her hair has a few gray hairs and her face is calm. On the lower right seat is a young girl. , with double hanging buns, tassel hairpins, a pink-yellow long skirt, jacket of the same color, pure almond eyes, looking at Li Ru'an with joy in his eyes.

Li Ru'an untied the cloak and handed it to Xuegu, walked to the center, raised his hands to his eyebrows, knelt down with his head on the ground.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

"Get up." Fan looked at the eldest granddaughter in front of her. She was dressed in plain clothes and performed elegantly and leisurely. She was like the quiet and silent child three years ago.

"It's good to be back, sit down." Fan said with a smile, looking at his granddaughter with satisfaction.

Li Ru'an nodded and sat down next to her. Li Ruyun stood up and saluted with a half-knee, with a peaceful smile, "Yun'er greet elder sister."

Li Ru'an smiled back, Li Ruyun looks like a concubine serving Jiang Shi, she is gentle and kind, on the day she left the mansion, Jiang Shi secretly asked the maid to send some hairpin jewelry, although it is not expensive, but it is the only one she has up.

"Old lady, the Second Miss and the Fourth Miss are here." Mama Sun opened the curtain, and Li Ruyue was wearing a rose brocade skirt, emerald pearls, exquisite makeup, and was charming and charming.

Followed by a pretty girl in red clothes, round face and big eyes, rushed into Li Ruyue in front of her.

"Oh, second sister, hurry up, I'm hungry waiting for you to change clothes, and you still walk so slowly!" Li Ruruo covered his forehead and pouted.

"You! Shut up!" Li Ruyue scolded in a low voice, raised her head and straightened her clothes, and moved lightly to the seat, her orchid jade finger was twisted on the left side of her clothes, her knees half-bent.

"Yue'er pays respects to grandma, and elder sister." Her voice was soft and soft.

Li Ru'an raised her eyebrows. She likes nice voices, especially natural voices, whether they are deep and magnetic, or crisp and clean, or gentle and soft, but Li Ruyue's voice seems to be squeezed out of her throat, just a few words If it is too small, it will be dumb, if it is too much, it will be sharp, which is a bit artificial.

Li Ruoruo saluted carelessly, then ran to Fan's side, "Grandmother, Ruo'er is hungry."

"Mother Sun, let the kitchen serve the food." Fan stood up with a smile, led her granddaughter to the round table and sat down.

At the dining table, the servants were serving dishes, and there was only the slight sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks. Li Ruyue lightly chewed a few grains of rice in her mouth, and her attention was always on Li Ruan, who was opposite her with an elegant manner and a natural posture. Thinking of the words of the nanny in the palace, she was calm and composed, graceful and unobtrusive.
