Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 193

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, the palace people had already arranged a circle of famous chrysanthemums. Ming Huidi stepped in with Lu Yun first, and admired them one by one.Liao Shou had no intention of admiring the flowers, but the emperor gave him grace, so he could only accept it, and stood near the door of the Nuan Pavilion with the chief eunuch Guo Yong, with his eyes downcast.

Guo Yong didn't go in either. Seeing Liao Shou staring at a pot of chrysanthemums, Guo Yong smiled and introduced in a low voice: "This pot is called Shuai Qi. It's purple-red on the front and golden on the back, because the flowers look like those in the military camp. It got its name from Shuai Qi, no wonder Master Liao likes it."

Liao Shou just looked at the pot of chrysanthemums, looked carefully, he looked a bit handsome.

In front, Lu Yun stopped in front of a pot of chrysanthemums with green petals and white, and asked Ming Huidi in a low voice, "What's the name of this pot?" It looked like green clouds, fresh and elegant, and she liked it.

"Lvyun." Emperor Minghui lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear, "The newly cultivated ones from the flower house, I knew you liked them, so I named them that."

Lu Yun was stunned, and couldn't help murmuring her flower name, Luyun, Luyun, Lu Yun...

She blushed suddenly.

Emperor Minghui used his body to cover her, and the big hand on the right grabbed her small hand, and said with a low laugh: "These pots of green clouds are only reserved for me to accompany you to admire."

Lu Yun was ashamed to listen to his nonsense, so she broke away from his hand and continued walking to see other chrysanthemums.

Emperor Ming Hui followed closely.

Guo Yong is used to the love of emperors and concubines, but Liao Shou vaguely heard a few words, but he kept his eyes fixed on him.The emperor is passionate, but in Liao Shou's view, women are almost the same, soft and weak, just like these chrysanthemums, they must be pampered, the emperor has that kind of leisure, he doesn't, he prefers to be alone, when he wants to go home As for when to go home, it is not like Chu Xing. After getting married, he ran home in a hurry every day, and he became a strict wife.

As soon as he thought of Chu Xing, a young eunuch suddenly lowered his head and rushed over, and said to Ming Hui Emperor: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Chu Guogong and the second girl are here, and they are waiting outside the hall."

Chu Xing's daughter-in-law and sister?

Liao Shou subconsciously clenched his fingers. He just slandered Chu Xing, and his family came?

"Please come in quickly." The niece came, and Emperor Minghui helped Lu Jun sit down on one side of the Arhat bed, and he walked around to the other side, laughing loudly, looking at the door with his black eyes.

Liao Shou and Guo Yong avoided them.

Outside, Lu Mingyu untied the cloak and handed it to the maid, then took the daughter who fell asleep from the nurse's arms, and walked in side by side with Chu Ying.As soon as she entered the Nuan Pavilion and saw Liao Shou not far away, Lu Mingyu was stunned, why is this person here?
If it was any other woman, Liao Shoukan wouldn't even look at her, but he had a close personal relationship with Chu Xing, so he had to give Chu Xing some face, so when Lu Mingyu came in, he took a quick look, nodded slightly, and called "sister-in-law" in a low voice.

Lu Mingyu smiled lightly, then walked in front of him.

Liao Shou had lowered his eyes, Lu Mingyu passed by, followed by a figure wearing pale pink makeup and flowers, with small plum blossoms embroidered on the white skirt, walking slowly, a pair of embroidered shoes looming, such a lady style of pie.

Chu Xing's younger sister...

Liao Shou raised his eyes in a strange way, just in time to meet Chu Ying's slightly flushed side face, pursed his red lips lightly, and walked past him with lowered eyes, leaving only a faint scent, I don't know if it was her rouge fragrance , or something else.

For a short while, Liao Shou felt a sense of déjà vu, and then suddenly remembered that he went out with the emperor to the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and by chance, he ate at the same table with Chu Ying.After all, it was the younger sister of an acquaintance, she seemed to be more pleasing to the eye than other girls, Liao Shou looked over again.

But only saw Chu Ying's slender back saluting to the imperial concubine.

"Excuse me, it's all from my family, why are you being polite." Emperor Minghui waved his hand, waiving the ceremony from his aunt and sister-in-law, his eyes had already fallen into Lu Mingyu's arms, and his voice became softer, "Is Tangtang asleep?"

Lu Mingyu nodded, and handed his daughter to Emperor Minghui with the cloak attached. Children are afraid of the cold, and although it was warm in the warm pavilion, Lu Mingyu did not dare to remove the cloak that was warmed by her daughter's sleep immediately.Emperor Minghui liked his niece before, but now that he was getting older, and hugged Tangtang whom he always thought looked like him, Emperor Minghui was even more rare, pointing to Tangtang's white and fat little face, smiling like a niece An ordinary elder, "I fell asleep after such a short journey, Tangtang is so delicate."

Lu Yun next to her was a little regretful, looking at her grandniece eagerly and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let Ah Nuan bring Tangtang into the palace, it's so cold..." She was afraid that the little girl would freeze.

Lu Mingyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's quite warm today, even if you don't enter the palace, you should take her outside for a stroll."

Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty gave Lu Yun a "you're the only one to worry about" look.

Lu Yun didn't bother to talk to him, and stuck to her belly every day and called her daughter Princess. Lu Yun didn't have to worry about being rejected by men after giving birth to a daughter, but worried about being rejected by Emperor Minghui after giving birth to a son.Thinking about it, Emperor Ming Hui has several sons, and things are rare and precious, so he is looking forward to his daughter, right?

Unconsciously touching her stomach, Lu Yun was in a complicated mood. She didn't want to disappoint Emperor Minghui, but whether the stomach was a son or a daughter was up to her.The last time my mother entered the palace, she still told her mysteriously that pointy bellies are all boys, and she didn't even know that she was looking forward to her daughter.

"I coax Tangtang, Ah Nuan will accompany your aunt to enjoy the flowers." Emperor Minghui hugged the sleeping little girl, his heart almost melted, anyway, he couldn't get too close to Lu Yun in front of his niece, so he could just concentrate on coaxing the child.

"Don't wake Tangtang up." Lu Yun stood up slowly with the support of his niece, reminding Emperor Ming Hui very naturally.

Emperor Minghui nodded, and released Tangtang's chubby hand while nodding.

The three daughters of Lu Mingyu went to admire the flowers. She walked in the middle, with her aunt on one side and sister-in-law on the other, so she could take care of them all.After admiring a few pots of chrysanthemums, Lu Mingyu turned her head and looked at the tall man standing with his back to them in the distance. She asked Lu Yun in a low voice: "Auntie, why is Lord Liao here?"

Lu Yun pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly glanced at Chu Ying who was bending over to admire the flowers behind her.

Lu Mingyu looked at her in shock.

Lu Yun walked forward with her niece on her arm, making sure that Chu Ying hadn't followed for the time being, she explained softly: "You came a while ago, didn't you tell me that someone proposed marriage to Yingying, and you and Mrs. Tai didn't like it? I was chatting with the emperor, and I didn't intend to mention this, and somehow the emperor thought of Mr. Liao, and wanted to help Mr. Liao connect."

Lu Yun knew that Liao Shou was a popular person around Emperor Ming Hui, and he could tell from the number of times Emperor Ming Hui praised Liao Shou, but it was only these few days that Lu Jun knew how much Emperor Ming Hui valued Liao Shou, and he didn't even have a wife at the age of 27. We all have to worry about it.

While listening to her aunt's words, Lu Mingyu wandered her eyes over Liao Shou and Chu Ying, and couldn't help thinking about it.Liao Shou is 27, Chu Ying is 14 years old, there is a big difference in age, but she is also a full round behind Chu Xing, with them first, Liao Shou is worthy of sister-in-law in terms of age.

Appearance... Liao Shou has a dark complexion, his facial features are not very handsome, but he is also very Zhou Zheng, coupled with his cold and stern demeanor, he stands out from the crowd wherever he goes.As for family background, Liao Shou was born as an orphan, without the help of brothers and uncles, but he is capable, looking at the entire court, how many people can let the emperor take the initiative to arrange a marriage for him?

Generally speaking, although my sister-in-law marrying Liao Shou is considered a low marriage, it can't be said that she is too wronged. It's just that the girls like handsome and gentle men. For example, she fell in love with Chu Sui in her previous life; Rou, can you see Liao Shou?

Lu Mingyu didn't dare to have too much hope.

Just as she was full of thoughts, a familiar humming sound suddenly came from behind her. Lu Mingyu's heart tightened, and she immediately turned around, only to see her daughter standing upright in Emperor Ming Hui's arms, her little hands moving left and right.The daughter just woke up and had to coax her by herself, so Lu Mingyu hurried back.

Emperor Minghui could coax little girls, but he couldn't handle seven or eight-month-old girls, so he reluctantly returned Tangtang to his niece. He stood up and asked Lu Mingyu to sit with him, "You first coax Tangtang, I'm going to enjoy the flowers. "After speaking, she held Lu Yun's shoulder with one hand, and looked at Chu Ying, "Yingying also went over to take a look."

Chu Ying nodded with a blushing face, and followed behind Lu Yun.

Emperor Minghui called Liao Shou over there again: "Liao Shou, come here, I let you enjoy the flowers, not let you be the door god."

It was rare for Chu Ying to see Emperor Minghui's funny side, so she lowered her head and smiled.

And as the one being ridiculed, Liao Shou was really confused and didn't understand why the emperor acted so abnormally today.But he didn't understand anymore, he still strode over and stopped ten steps away from Emperor Ming Hui.

Emperor Minghui pointed at him, turned his head and asked Chu Ying, "Does Yingying recognize who he is?"

Chu Ying is a lady of the family, just walked in with her sister-in-law, and found a man dressed as a guard over there, she immediately looked away politely, and didn't look too much, before Emperor Ming Hui spoke, she didn't know it was Liao Shou.Now that Emperor Minghui asked this question, Chu Ying couldn't help but look at Liao Shou.

Liao Shou was also looking at her, eyes met, Chu Ying only felt that the man opposite had a cold face and fierce eyes, she was so startled that she lowered her head instantly, and said calmly: "My brother often praises Lord Liao for being good at riding and shooting, so I have heard it for a long time. "

Emperor Ming Hui nodded, "Yes, Liao Shou and your eldest brother are my right-hand men. They used to be alone, and I didn't think so. Now your elder brother married my niece back home, and only Liao Shou is left. Alone, no matter how I look at him, I feel sorry for him."

Chu Ying pursed her lips and looked blankly at the chrysanthemum beside her. It was difficult for her to talk to the emperor.

Being ridiculed by the emperor for not being able to marry a daughter-in-law in front of a flowery girl, Liao Shou was quite embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, but I am used to living alone, and it will be troublesome to have a family."

That said, Emperor Ming Hui really wanted to go up and kick Liao Shou. He tried to get Chu Ying to come here. Liao Shou didn't know how to seize the opportunity to please Chu Ying, but why did he think it was troublesome to marry a wife?He deserves that no girl likes him at his age!
"You guys enjoy the flowers first, I have something to talk to Liao Shou." Ming Huidi told Lu Yun softly as if he just remembered something, followed by winking at Liao Shou, and strode out.

Liao Shou heaved a sigh of relief, the emperor finally thought about the business, but he never thought of it, and just walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Minghui sent the eunuchs who were serving him away, turned around and threw a thunderbolt at him, "Yingying has a beautiful face and a moony appearance, a beautiful quality and a blue heart, You are not tempted by such a beauty?"

Liao Shou raised his head in a daze.

Emperor Ming Hui sat on the chair and stared at him with hatred.When he first met Liao Shou, Liao Shou was only in his teens, and he had been with his ministers for more than ten years. Liao Shou was both loyal and capable, and Emperor Minghui appreciated him very much, because he was cultivated by himself, and Emperor Minghui also treated Liao Shou somewhat like an elder to a younger generation. care.I hadn't thought about this before, but that day when Lu Yun mentioned that Chu Ying had reached the age to discuss marriage, and the so-called fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, the first thing Emperor Huihui thought of was Liao Shou.

Faced with Emperor Minghui's complex sizing, Liao Shou was stunned for a while before realizing the meaning of Emperor Minghui's words. He instinctively turned his head to look inside the Nuan Pavilion, but only saw thick curtains, but he had already remembered the meaning of Chu Minghui's words. Ying's appearance, indeed, is quite beautiful.

But what does that have to do with him?
The commander of the Jinwu Guard, who was cold, majestic and impersonal outside, lowered his head with evasive eyes, touched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I am a rough man..." Such a rich lady.

Emperor Minghui snorted coldly, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. I never thought that my commander, who seems to be rough, would care so much about his family background in his own heart."

Liao Shou smiled wryly.The emperor was born to be a superior person, how could he understand his situation, he looks like a good man, but in fact he earned it back by his life, maybe he will die on the battlefield one day, some people want to win him over, but they are looking at him now His status, deep down, those powerful families still look down on him at all.

Emperor Minghui didn't like his acquiescence, but he couldn't bear to be sarcastic anymore. After thinking for a while, he pointed out: "Concubine Rong's mother, like you, also came from a rural background, but now she is close to Lu Qing, why did she care about her and Lu Qing's identities? Gap? Liao Shou, if you don't like Yingying, I won't force others to do anything against you, but if you like Yingying but dare not make a move because of some family background, then I, I will only feel sorry for you. Yingying is such a good girl, it is hard to find again if you miss her the second."

He didn't just match anyone he caught to Liao Shou. Although Chu Ying was a lady from a famous family, she didn't have the usual arrogance of a noble family. She was as gentle as water, and she was a perfect match for Liao Shou.

Liao Shou remained silent.

"Forget it, you go back first, the fate is determined, I don't care about you." Emperor Ming Hui took one last look at Liao Shou, got up and left his seat, and went in to admire the flowers.

Liao Shou stood there silently. After a long time, he slowly turned his head and looked at the door curtain of the Nuan Pavilion.

There, there is a gentle girl who is more beautiful than a flower and whose voice is better than a lark. The emperor praised her well, and he also thought it was quite good, but, do people think of him?Liao Shou was not sure, he didn't want to try, but he just walked away in such a desperate way, wouldn't the emperor despise him every time we met in the future?An imposing man who doesn't even have the guts to ask a question?
A fire suddenly sprang up in his chest, Liao Shou clenched his fists, his eyes quickly became firm, and he walked towards the Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Ming Hui had already taken his seat, and when he saw the man appearing at the door, he smiled meaningfully.
