marriage gentleman

Chapter 22

Qi Guang's gaze was fixed, and he couldn't look away immediately.After a while, she came back to her senses and said: "The widow allows you to take leave and rest for a few more days after you recover. It is indeed easy to get sick at this time of year."

Lu Li said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Guang said: "Okay, since you are sick, rest well, and you can get any medicinal materials you need from the palace." After saying that, Qi Guang was about to get up, but at this moment, Lu Li grabbed Qi Guang's wrist.

The slightly cool touch made Qi Guang stunned for a moment, and when she touched Lu Li's eyes, she felt strange in her heart.

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Young master, the medicine is ready."

Lu Li let go of Qi Guang's hand and said, "Come in." After the boy put down the fried medicine and left without a sound, Lu Li said to Qi Guang, "It's just now that the wind is blowing outside, so hurry up and leave." It's raining."

Qi Guang only felt a slight tickle in his throat and coughed a few times.She wanted to leave just now, but when Lu Li looked at her like this, she suddenly couldn't move forward.She said: "It's raining to cool off..." As if thinking of something, she said again: "Speaking of which, I still owe you a reward. You were the one who made meritorious service in the case of Bai Sheng before. What reward do you want? "

She originally thought that with Lu Li's temperament, she would definitely say that this is the duty of a humble minister, but unexpectedly this time, Lu Li asked her seriously: "Really, any reward is fine?"

Qi Guang said: "As long as the widow can reward you, it will do."

Lu Li said: "I want His Majesty to forgive me once."

Qi Guang was taken aback.Forgive once?She was surprised and said: "What did you do wrong?" Generally speaking, people who say such things must have done something wrong.It's just that with Lu Li's character, it's really hard for her to imagine that he would do anything wrong.

Lu Li smiled and said: "The marriage between my minister and His Majesty is still nearly three years away. After we marry His Majesty, I will not interfere in the affairs of the court. I am just worried that I will do something wrong in the future, so I want to I ask His Majesty for a forgiveness, so as to prevent it from happening."

Hearing this, Qi Guang couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Li thinks long-term, but in the final analysis, it's because of her special status that a son-in-law married to a princess is bound everywhere, let alone a man married to an emperor?He would have such an idea, and it was only natural to think about it carefully.

She said: "Okay, I promise you."

She smiled again: "After you recover, let's go riding with the widow. The widow hasn't ridden a horse for a long time."

Lu Li said with a smile, "Okay."

It was already after noon when Qi Guang left Lufu.Originally, she just wanted to come and take a look at Lu Li, just to take a look, but she didn't expect that this visit would last the whole morning, and she left after having lunch at Lu Mansion.

Qi Guang felt that he had run into something evil, and something was wrong when he bumped into Lu Li.

If his mother was still alive, Lu Li's fate would definitely be like her paintings, kittens, and those bloody eyes.Thinking of this, Qi Guang shivered.She felt more and more that she had gone into trouble. Recently, things from her childhood came to her mind one after another. In the past few days, she still had nightmares every night.

Qi Guang got into the carriage.

Seeing that it was still early in the day, the coachman would not return to the palace until evening on weekdays, so he asked, "Miss, where are you going now?"

I only heard Qi Guang say listlessly: "Go back to the palace."

Looking at the people coming and going outside the car window, she sighed again.She has to go to the imperial doctor to have a look, maybe she is sick.The wind outside was a bit strong, and in a blink of an eye, there was a drizzle. When Qi Guang was about to put down the curtain of the car, he saw a sneaky and familiar figure dozens of steps away.

It was Chen Nanzhu.

Even though she was wearing a veiled hat and the falling veil covered her face, Qi Guang never missed the beauty's piercing eyes.

She saw right through her.

It was Chen Nanzhu, there was absolutely no mistake.

Since Huizong came to power, the status of women in the capital has been greatly improved, and women rarely wear veils or veils when they go out to the streets.But now that Chen Nanzhu was wearing a veiled hat, it was somewhat obvious under the drizzle.

I saw her looking left and right, and her movements were quite unfamiliar, obviously she was going to do something shady.

Qi Guang felt emotional in his heart.

Back then she was only seven or eight years old, so she would sneak out of the palace from time to time, she was acquainted once and twice, and maybe because of her extraordinary talent, she was never caught by her mother.How can there be no 300 taels of silver here like Chen Nanzhu?

Qi Guang lowered the curtain, she yawned lazily, and ordered: "Go faster, I'm tired."

The coachman responded.

Qi Guang changed into a comfortable position and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.The carriage passed by Chen Nanzhu and gradually disappeared under the rain curtain.Qi Guang returned to the palace.

She called the doctor over.After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty's body is fine, maybe it's because of the dryness and irritability of the weather recently, I will prescribe a few doses of Anshen Quhuo Decoction for Your Majesty, and you will see better after taking it."

Qi Guang waved his hand.

"Go back."

Jiang Dezhong looked at the emperor's expression, feeling quite puzzled.This... Hasn't His Majesty already gone to the Lu Mansion?Why did you still look impetuous when you came back?Jiang Dezhong rubbed his chin. Recently, he has become increasingly confused about His Majesty's thoughts.

Qi Guang yawned.

Jiang Dezhong seemed to think of something, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu is waiting outside. He came here early this morning."

Qi Guang said, "Let's pass it on."

"Yes."

After a while, Chen Li came in.Sitting on the soft couch, Qi Guang was playing with the white jade bracelet on her wrist. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her eyes and said, "Chen Qing doesn't need to be polite, Jiang Dezhong, please give me your seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Chen Li sat down, Qi Guang said again: "What's wrong with King Min's marriage?"

Chen Li hurriedly said: "Everything is going well with King Min's marriage, and many other matters are being prepared in an orderly manner. Today... Today, I came here for my own private affairs."

When Qi Guang heard this, he became interested.

"What's a personal matter? It's related to Ling Qianjin?"

Chen Li sighed and said: "Your Majesty is wise. The little girl of my minister is still a few months away from her double tenth birthday, and the marriage has not been settled until the Shen family came to propose a marriage some time ago. My minister has only one daughter under her knees, and she has been raised as a heart and soul, so I hope to be able to marry her." Give my little daughter the best marriage, and I hope that His Majesty will open the golden mouth to give you the marriage."

Qi Guangdao: "Does Ling Qianjin know about this?"

Chen Li sat upright.

"Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The little girl will be grateful for the marriage bestowed by His Majesty."

Qi Guang understood.

Presumably Chen Nanzhu knew about this marriage, but he was definitely unwilling. Therefore, Chen Li thought of a way to bestow the marriage. With the imperial decree, even if Chen Nanzhu was unwilling, he had to take into account the lives of the Chen family.

Qi Guang asked again: "Which Shen family?"

Chen Li was slightly stunned, and then he came to his senses and said: "The Shen family of Dali Temple Minister, Shen An, his son, is gentle and refined, well-read poetry and books, he is a rare talent."

Qi Guang remembered.

Isn't the Shen family of Dali Siqing the same as Lu Li said before, where there is a murder case, there is Shen Yu's Shen family?She has seen Shen Yu's portrait, she is indeed a beauty, and it seems that her brother is not far behind.

Qi Guang said: "The widow agrees." A few days later, it was a refreshing autumn.

Qi Guang liked riding horses since he was a child, and so did Huizong.When Huizong was in his later years, he also circled a large piece of land beside Buqiu Mountain on the outskirts of the capital as a hunting ground.In the hunting grounds, the horses have already been prepared.

Qi Guang set off from the palace early in the morning and changed into a heroic riding outfit.

After arriving at the hunting ground, Qi Guang got off the carriage and saw Lu Li.There are two servants behind Lu Li, each leading a horse, one of which is Qi Guang's favorite horse - Chasing the Moon.

Since he ascended the throne, Qi Guang has hardly touched a horse except for riding a horse while hunting in autumn.Now seeing his favorite horse, Qi Guang's eyes lit up, he ran to Chasing the Moon, and stretched out his hand to rub its head.

Chasing Moon also recognized Qi Guang, and obediently rubbed Qi Guang's face.

Qi Guang is very happy.

Lu Li said with a smile: "Zhuiyue is a fierce horse, and he has been domesticated so obediently by His Majesty." As soon as he got close, Zhuiyue let go of his horse's hooves and breathed heavily, and Qi Guang's hand touched it. When it reached its head, it instantly became cute and docile again.

Qi Guang said: "It took a lot of effort to tame it at the beginning." She looked at Lu Li carefully, and then asked: "Is your body healed?"

Lu Li nodded.

"It has recovered, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

Qi Guang said, "Come ride with me on horseback."

After finishing speaking, Qi Guang got on his horse, whipped his whip, and dust flew up immediately.Lu Li did not show any weakness, and immediately caught up with Qi Guang, one after the other, and started chasing on the huge grass.

After about half an hour, the two gradually stopped.

The autumn wind was blowing, Qi Guang wiped his sweat, and laughed heartily: "I didn't expect Jing Heng to be very good at equestrian skills. If I didn't use all my strength, I'm afraid I would fall behind you."

Lu Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate it."

Qi Guang smiled and said: "Why be modest." After a slight pause, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Every autumn hunting has equestrian competitions. It is not difficult to win the championship with Jing Heng's equestrian skills." It's that he's so mediocre that she never notices him.

Her eyes narrowed suddenly.

"you……"

However, at this time Lu Li said: "There are a lot of talents in the court, and Jing Heng has no intention of comparing them." He smiled lightly, looked at Qi Guang, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Riding a horse is a fun thing, and it is great to ride with people you like. Overwhelmed with the joy of winning the championship?"
