Chapter 172

Liu Wanru looked at Yijia carefully, for fear of missing any trace of emotion on her face, she didn't even dare to blink her eyes more.Seeing that although Yijia was in a calm mood, the congratulations didn't sound forced at all, she felt relieved, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed, she just felt that her heart was empty.

Looking at Yijia dressed as a woman again, she looks more beautiful than when she was a girl, and then looked down at herself, although her belly is not showing yet, she is wearing especially loose clothes today.The clothes were given in green, and her skin was not fair in the first place, but with such an outfit, her complexion was not good.

After the comparison, she couldn't help but sighed deeply in her heart, and said with a smile, "I've been married for a while, and it's common to hear about it. But you don't have to worry too much. You just got married, and sooner or later, there will be some time." You are busy."

Yijia never hated or liked Liu Wanru, but Liu Wanru was a neat person, knew what he wanted, and would work hard for it.He is also very measured in doing things, knows how to advance and retreat without being annoying, which Yijia admired quite a lot in the past.But today, Liu Wanru's repeated probing words made Yijia feel unhappy in her heart.

She was not very intimate with Liu Wanru, so her expression became even more distant, "I'm not in a hurry, I just got married, and many things in the Hou's mansion haven't been straightened out yet, so I want to It’s easy to save two years, just take your time.”

That's right, she is now married into the Hou's Mansion, the eldest son of the Anping Hou's Mansion.

As soon as you enter the door, there is no mother-in-law to wait on you. It is said that a grandmother has been indifferent for many years.If you don't fight or grab it, the housekeeping power will fall into your hands. This kind of luck is something that many people can't get after working hard for half a lifetime.

And no matter how good the husband is, the Anping Hou Shizi is not bad.

Liu Wanru suddenly lost the mood to test, what is there to test?Whether it's appearance or family background, I can't compare with Zhou Yijia, even my husband, Kang Qikun is very good in her heart, but looking at Zhou Yijia's bright smiling face, I know that she is doing well, I'm afraid she didn't let Kang Qikun go at all. in the heart.

She concealed her emotions and said enthusiastically: "I brought three younger sisters here today. I have to go ahead to see how they are doing. Let's talk later."

"Okay, then you can go to work first." Yijia also said politely.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Ran were discussing Brother Cheng's matter.

As soon as Xiao Song talked about her son, she was so excited that she couldn't finish talking, and Mrs. Ran San deliberately made fun of him, so the two chatted very excitedly.Yijia likes children, and Brother Cheng is her own younger brother. In the future, the people who support the entrance of the Zhou family will inevitably care a little more besides family affection.So even though she doesn't like Mrs. Ran San, she still listens with great interest when she hears about children one by one.

It wasn't until the peach blossom banquet officially started that Yijia went to the peach blossom forest with all the female relatives.

Last year's Peach Blossom Banquet, because Xiao Song was about to give birth at that time, she did not participate.Coming back this time, it was just the same process as the previous year, except that this year she had a new identity and became a spectator.

Her task at the Peach Blossom Banquet was to unravel Le Chengmin, but now she failed to unravel, but it made her feel very uncomfortable.She was not interested anymore, even she was too lazy to meet Song Han.

Most of the people who came here today were sons of aristocratic families. Yijia and Liang Mingyue both knew that this was just a formality. If they really wanted to find a lover, they would have to be picked by Liang Mingzhi first, and then Liang Mingyue would choose. just work.

Yijia's seat was arranged at the first empty seat next to Princess An. After she sat down, she waited for a while before the empty seat was filled. It turned out to be Lu Xiang's wife.

Yijia remembered that Lu Pei seemed to be two years older than Liang Mingyue this year, and it was a bit late before he was seventeen.

Mrs. Lu sat down and was not in a hurry to watch the performance of the young man opposite, but after Yijia met her, she looked at Liang Mingyue with a smile, and said, "Your eldest girl, this is a house that hasn't been booked yet. ?"

Mrs. Lu is Yijia's Quanfu person, and Yijia respects her very much when she sees her.Just as he was about to reply, Lu Pei smiled and said, "Mom, Mingyue is two years younger than me, and it's not time to worry yet."

Although Lu Pei and Liang Mingyue were not affectionate enough, they were considered good friends and handed over their handkerchiefs.So when she said this, Liang Mingyue nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, sister Pei is the one who should be anxious now."

Mrs. Lu nodded approvingly, and said, "No, Peipei, you'll have to pick and choose in a while."

Lu Pei pouted and muttered: "I don't want to marry, I want to be an old girl at home."

It's a pity that Mrs. Lu really doesn't care about her marriage. At this age, it's not that no one comes to propose marriage, but too many people propose marriage. Mrs. Lu wants to keep her daughter for a few more years, so she is planning to choose slowly.It's his son Lu Mian, Mrs. Lu is a little anxious, this son doesn't know much about women, but he just tells him that he doesn't like girls from any family.Mrs. Lu also played tricks, knowing that her son and Liang Ming had a good relationship, she made her mind on Liang Mingyue, and the more she saw it today, the more she liked her.

Although she is a concubine, she is a girl from the Marquis of Anping. There is no one in the capital who does not know what kind of friendship Liang Mingzhi has with the current crown prince. Besides, Liang Mingyue is also generous, no worse than those daughters from the concubine. Lu Madam didn't care so much about her status as a concubine.

"Peppe, you and Mingyue also go over there to have fun. If there is any good boy later, mother will help you pay attention." Mrs. Lu chased away people as soon as she exited. Pulling Liang Mingyue and ran away.Madam Lu smiled embarrassedly, and asked Yijia, "What do you and Ziming think about this girl Mingyue's marriage?"

Yijia looked at Mrs. Lu who was smiling kindly, and thought about the naive Lu Pei at the age of 17, but felt that the Lu family is also a good family.Especially if Mrs. Lu can be Mrs. Quanfu for her, then her backyard must be clean and her life is happy and comfortable. If this is the case, it is not too sad to want to come to the Lu family's backyard.

It's just that Lu Mian is Lu Xiang's direct son, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiang, can he agree to marry Mingyue?Or is Mrs. Lu intentionally acting as a matchmaker for other people?

"The meaning of the elder son is to find a family for Mingyue with a simple population and not so many things. Of course, the man must have a clean family background, and it is best to be a scholar. He can treat Mingyue well, and that's enough." Yi Jia He raised Liang Mingyue's request.

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed when she heard that, her master had no concubines, only two concubines and they let them out early.When she arrived at her son Lu Mian, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, she didn't want the two maids and sons she had prepared for her son. Otherwise, if Prince Anping would check it later, he would have a reason to say that his family's population is not simple. .

There is only one reading, and my son loves reading, but he never thought about taking the imperial examination.Anping Hou Shizi can understand this point, after all, both he and his son belong to the prince.

Madam Lu smiled sincerely, "Such a request is not high, and I am so familiar with you, so I won't beat around the bush with you. How about my brother Mian?"

Yijia was really taken aback. She didn't expect Mrs. Lu to mention it, but it was really Lu Mian.The head of the Lu family in the future.In fact, she was not familiar with Lu Mian, and Liang Mingzhi had never said anything about Lu Mian, but seeing Mrs. Lu's amiable appearance, Yijia felt that the son she brought up was probably going somewhere.

After thinking for a while, Yijia hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, when I was a girl, I had limited communication, and I didn't know many things in Beijing. But with you here, I don't have to think about it, and I don't know much about it. I know Mr. Lu is a good candidate. It's just that I'm a bride after all, so I have to tell my grandmother and son about this when I go back."

Mrs. Lu was just throwing stones to ask for a voice, so she naturally knew that it was impossible for Yijia to agree.He just laughed and said, "This is nature, this is nature!"

Yijia didn't sit for a long time, Xuezhu came over to report softly, Liang Mingzhi and the prince came over, they were in the water pavilion behind the peach forest, and asked her to invite Le Chengmin over.

Yijia said goodbye to Mrs. Lu and went to find Le Chengmin.

Today, Anhe Princess also knew that with her nephew's temperament, she would definitely come to the house to find her daughter. Seeing that Yijia called Le Chengmin out, she didn't say anything and let them go out.

Le Chengmin also guessed a thing or two in his heart, but he didn't say anything along the way, just quietly followed Yijia.Because of this, Yijia felt sorry for her even more, and even Liang Mingzhi felt a little bit resentful. Although she knew it was wrong, but as a woman, the man she liked had someone else in her heart. Cheng Min's thoughts.

Not far from the waterside pavilion, Liang Mingzhi had already walked out.

Le Chengmin was angry, turned a blind eye to Liang Mingzhi, and strode into the water pavilion.

Liang Mingzhi asked Yijia, "What's the matter? Princess Chengmin is still angry? Is he angry with me too?"

Yi Jia was not in high spirits, so he nodded indiscriminately, and pulled Liang Mingzhi a little further away.

"What's the matter, are you worried?" Liang Mingzhi asked.

Yijia didn't want to speak, but shook her head.

However, Liang Mingzhi grabbed her hand and walked to the depths of the peach blossom forest where there was no one. There was a small wooden house there, and people were pulled in when the door was pushed.

The wooden house is small, but the inside is very clean. There is an Arhat bed, a small table, and two small stools.Yijia was very surprised. It is not uncommon to have a small wooden house deep in the peach forest in the Princess Mansion, but how would Liang Mingzhi know?
Liang Mingzhi answered her doubts, "This is a new building. It was built by Princess An and Princess An after the crown prince and Princess Chengmin were married. But shortly after the marriage was granted, the crown prince accepted Concubine He, so here He didn't make it even once."

Yijia was silent, circling back and forth, and then circling around Concubine He.

"What's the matter with Concubine He?" She couldn't help being curious, and felt a little bit aggrieved for Le Chengmin, "Didn't the prince say that he liked Cheng Min? How could he accept Concubine He?" Concubine, do you like Cheng Min as much as you do?"

Liang Mingzhi looked at Yijia for a while, and felt that he understood something.He couldn't help chuckling, and pulled Yijia to sit on his lap. Instead of answering her question, he asked: "Are you complaining about Princess Chengmin, or are you worrying? A woman came back?"

Yi Jia froze when she heard the words, and pretended not to care and said, "I'm arguing for Cheng Min. Today I saw Cheng Min, but she hugged me and cried for a long time."

Liang Mingzhi didn't point her out, but said: "The crown prince is the crown prince, and one concubine and two concubines are the law. When he ascends the throne in the future, in addition to the queen, there will be two concubines, four concubines, and the nobleman Jieyu." Beauty... Princess Cheng Min should know this."

Yijia's heart was sore, yes, not only Cheng Min knew it, but she also knew it.

She just saw that her father had no concubine in his life, and Liang Mingzhi in his previous life did not have a concubine either, so she had extravagant hopes that Liang Mingzhi would not have a concubine in this life, and hoped that her good friends would not worry about these things.

But in my heart, I knew clearly that this was impossible.

The little girl was about to shed tears, but she refused to ask herself what she thought, and she refused to ask herself not to have a concubine.

Liang Mingzhi hugged him tighter, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't have a concubine's room, not in this lifetime."

"Really?" Yijia asked in surprise, with a smile on her face, but the tears in her eyes slipped out.Coupled with the surprise smile on his face, it made people feel distressed and helpless after seeing it.

Liang Mingzhi wiped her tears with his thumb. The rough thumb rubbed against her face and it hurt, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.A pair of eyes are still looking at him brightly.

Liang Mingzhi nodded.

Yijia felt as if she had fulfilled another wish. Many wishes in this life have been fulfilled one by one.Her father was alive and well, her aunt gave birth to a younger brother, and she married Liang Mingzhi as she wished. Today, Liang Mingzhi promised her that she would never take a concubine for the rest of her life.

She was so happy that she put her arms around Liang Mingzhi's neck and kissed him.

She originally touched lips, but Liang Mingzhi protected her waist with one hand, and pressed the back of her head with the other, deepening the kiss.

Yijia's heart was sweet, and after a long time she let go, her face was already as red as a rosy glow.

Liang Mingzhi touched her cheek, and then he talked about Qi Zhan and Concubine He, "I don't know much about Concubine He, when the prince told me, Concubine He had already been brought back by him. Later, Concubine He returned to the He family the day before she got married, and stayed at home for one night, and married into the Prince's Mansion the next day."

"So, the prince really likes Concubine He?" Yijia asked in disbelief.According to Liang Mingzhi, the prince not only likes Concubine He, but also makes many appearances for Concubine He.

Why didn't Concubine He stay at He's house, why didn't she return to He's house until the day before she got married in the East Palace... No wonder Le Chengmin was angry and sad, whoever changed would not be sad!If it was her, she would definitely call off this marriage!

But this is a marriage gift, and the object of the marriage gift is still the future emperor, this marriage cannot be withdrawn...

Liang Mingzhi saw that she was going into a corner again, tapped her forehead, and said, "Stop thinking about it!" She was steady and rational in everything she interacted with and dealt with at home, but when she met him, she met him. When it comes to emotional issues, she always panics immediately.

Liang Mingzhi didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

"It's inconvenient for me to ask too much about the prince's feelings, but from my observations, I'm afraid the prince doesn't like Concubine He. At least, it's not the kind of liking he has for Princess Cheng Min." He thought Qi Zhan got along with Concubine He, thinking that Qi Zhan didn't have a concubine named He in his previous life, and his intuition was that there might be something he didn't know about it.

Yijia was not at ease when Liang Mingzhi said that, but she also knew that she shouldn't ask too many questions.There are many things for the kings and ministers of heaven and earth, and Liang Mingzhi, as a minister, is indeed inconvenient to ask.

Seeing that she was still not in high spirits, Liang Mingzhi regretted agreeing to Qi Zhan to ask her to persuade Le Chengmin. It would be a big loss if she was not in a good mood.

He asked her about the peach blossom banquet.

Yijia immediately remembered Mrs. Lu's words, "... I see, she likes Mingyue very much, but now she just doesn't know what Mr. Lu means, and what Mingyue means. By the way, how is the Lu family's family style?"

Lu Mian?

Liang Mingzhi's heart sank when he heard the name, and then his voice became tense, "Have you agreed? Does Mingyue know what Mrs. Lu means? What's her attitude?"

Yijia was frightened by his attitude, and hurriedly said: "No, no... I didn't agree, and Mingyue didn't know about it either."

Liang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"This matter is not acceptable, Mingyue cannot marry Lu Mian." He had already made up his mind while speaking, "I will help Mingyue look after her as soon as possible, and make a marriage for her earlier. As for Mrs. Lu, just say you come back Ask me, I have already agreed to someone else's marriage to Mingyue."

Yijia nodded in a daze.

"Is there something wrong with the Lu family?" She said, "It's still Mr. Lu, isn't he a good candidate?"

In the previous life, Lu Mian died before he lived past twenty.

He knew this, but at that time he didn't care much about these things and didn't know how Lu Mian died.In this life, he and Lu Mian have been in contact, and Zeng even specially asked his master to show him his body, and he learned that there is nothing wrong with his body.

I can only remind him to be more careful, but there is nothing else I can do.

It's just that when it comes to marriage, he absolutely can't promise Mingyue to marry him.If this life was still the same as the previous life, and Lu Mian would have died long ago, then Mingyue would be a widow.

However, Liang Mingzhi couldn't say these words directly to Yijia.

The little girl still doesn't know that she was reborn, if she said it, it would not only scare her, but also cause a disturbance.

"It's a political issue. Mingyue cannot marry into the Lu family." Liang Mingzhi said.

Yijia nodded, as if she understood the statement.

After this episode, Liang Mingzhi lost all thoughts of beauty. After sitting for a while, he took Yijia out of the cabin and returned to the waterside pavilion.

When he got to the waterside pavilion, he saw Le Chengmin running out of the waterside pavilion in a panic, with blood on his hands.

"What's the matter?" Liang Mingzhi hurriedly asked, but he kept walking towards the water pavilion.

"Ziming, catch her!" Prince Shuixieli called out just in time.

Liang Mingzhi immediately turned around, chased after him in two steps, and directly raised Le Chengmin.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" Le Chengmin roared in a low voice, but tears were streaming down his face.

Yijia also recovered from the panic just now, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Liang Mingzhi, "You let her go, and I will hold her. Let's go to the waterside pavilion together."

"I'm not going. I'm going to get medicine and bandages. My fifth cousin is injured!" Le Chengmin cried, trying to break free from Liang Mingzhi with both hands.

Qi Zhan was injured?
Liang Mingzhi frowned, and immediately understood what was going on.It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was full of spirit before departure, not only failed to persuade Princess Cheng Min, but also failed himself.

With a strong lift of his hand, he lifted Le Chengmin two steps forward, and then said to Yijia: "You help Princess Chengmin go in, and I'll go find the doctor!"

Yijia pulled Le Chengmin into the water pavilion.

Le Chengmin stayed on the edge of the water pavilion and refused to go in. The prince Qi Zhan on the stone bench inside had his left arm hanging down, and there was a puddle of blood on the ground.

"I told you to read a joke." He said to Yi Jia with a pale face, and then looked at Le Chengmin in a blink of an eye, but his face turned cold, "Hurry up and hold the wound for me! Do you want me to bleed to death? "

"I, I didn't..." Le Chengmin retorted softly, but obediently let go of Yijia's hand and walked over.When he came to Qi Zhan, he didn't dare to look at it, so he wrapped his sleeve around his wrist and held it tightly.

Qi Zhan's complexion changed in pain, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead in an instant.

"It hurts me!" he said aloud.

"I... I... I didn't do it on purpose!" Le Chengmin held his hand, couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly, accusing him: "You didn't hide from anyone, why didn't you hide? You made me angry by saying something like that, and you knew I would do it! If you hide for a while, how could you get hurt? You...you did it on purpose. If you didn’t hide, you deliberately wanted me to hurt you and make me feel guilty , Tell me to blame myself... Then, then you can happily enjoy the blessings of everyone!"

Looking at her, Qi Zhan was so angry that his teeth creaked, and said, "I think your conscience has been eaten by a dog! You clearly knew that you would do it, how did I know that you would do it! How did I know that you would do it! Such a person? Before you finish a sentence of explanation, you do it, you are quite capable?"

"Yes, I have no conscience, you have to be a conscientious person, you go to the palace to find your Concubine He!" Le Chengmin cried, but his hand was still holding Qi Zhan's wound and did not let go.

Qi Zhan looked at her, sighed for a long time, and said in a rough voice: "It's okay, okay, don't cry! You hurt me, and I haven't cried yet, but you have the courage to cry!"

Le Chengmin turned her face to one side, but was still crying.

Yijia really didn't want to leave or stay, and these two people were too detached, which made her very embarrassed.
