marriage gentleman

Chapter 70

The Song family was finally settled.

After Qi Guang and Lu Li found out, they both heaved a sigh of relief.The two looked at each other, Qi Guang rubbed his belly, and said: "I never thought that one day I would avoid my brother, and I have to avoid him, so that he can't find out. The world is really impermanent."

Lu Li said: "The new emperor will only stay for two or three days. Xiang County is not big, so even if he has to go sightseeing for half a day, he can finish it. After a day or two, he will get tired of it."

Hearing what Lu Li said, Qi Guang suddenly glanced at him.

"Jing Heng, you really understand brother well."

How could Lu Li not know that she recalled the past, laughed, and changed the subject calmly: "Where is Yunzhen? The new emperor will be in Xiangjun today, so we can't let Yunzhen slip out."

Qi Guang also knew what Lu Li was thinking.

She only mentioned it occasionally, and she didn't mean to care about it.Now that she has said she has forgiven, then she will not mention the past.She said: "Don't worry, Yun Zhen has his own measure. I heard from Ming Qing that Yun Zhen has been pestering him for the past few days."

Lu Li said indifferently: "Could it be that he regards Ming Qing as his elder brother?"

Qi Guang glanced at him, and said: "Yunzhen has identified Su Chengyu as his elder brother, so how could he mistake others for the sixth prince? Yunzhen seems to have been pestering Mingqing to inquire about the situation of Wei."

Lu Li said: "Speaking of this matter, the war in Great Wei is about to stop, at most two months. After the war in Great Wei stopped, Yun Zhen reckoned that he was also homesick, and it happened that Cheng Yu wanted to leave Xiangjun and go outside. After wandering around, he can just escort Yun Zhen back to Wei." As if thinking of something, he said lightly: "I heard that many princes died in this civil war in Wei. Every prince wants to make meritorious service, but in the end he puts himself His life was also buried with him. Even if Yun Zhen doesn't come back, someone will take Yun Zhen back."

Qi Guang said: "There is still a fake Sixth Prince in the capital. When Wei comes to ask for someone, I'm afraid my brother will have a headache for a long time."

Lu Li said with a smile: "You don't have to worry anyway, it's just a matter of time to throw the burden on the new emperor and take some revenge."

In the evening, Ming Qing came to report the latest news, saying that the new emperor had arrived with two important ministers, one was Hussar General Murong Cheng, and the other was Minister of War Zhou Muqing.

Lu Li glanced at Qi Guang and said, "I see."

Ming Qing retreated in response.

Qi Guang touched the teacup and poured a glass of water.After taking a few sips, Lu Li looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "What are you thinking?"

She said, "Think of the doll in my belly."

He said: "In less than a year, Zhou Muqing was promoted to Shangshu. It seems that the new emperor has a lot of trust in him." The two siblings treated the Zhou family very kindly, first Qi Guang and then Qi Xuan.

Qi Guang put down his teacup and said, "I don't have him in my heart, so you don't have to be jealous."

Lu Li let out a low laugh.

"I know." The aunts of the Song family have their own ghosts in their hearts. It is rare for the new emperor to come. What if... what if he just fell in love with his celestial daughter?Isn't this the sparrow turning into a phoenix?
Father Song could clearly see the thoughts of the aunts.

Fortunately, Song's father was not an idiot, and made preparations early in the morning, placing his aunt and several concubine daughters in another courtyard.If the new emperor does not leave, they will not be able to come out for a day.

Although the problem of the aunts was solved, and there was a dignified and decent wife by his side, the matter of serving the emperor still made the entire Song family terrified.

Mother Song tried her best to find out the emperor's preferences and taboos, and put a lot of effort into eating. Now seeing that the emperor drank his own tea without showing any dissatisfaction, Mother Song was a little relieved.

Father Song carefully accompanied the conversation.

Song Mei has always been favored, and she is also qualified to be holy in the hall.However, under Song's father and Song's mother's strict instructions, she restrained her previous temperament, stood quietly by the side, lowered her eyes, and tried her best to be a dignified lady.

But she was very curious.

The new emperor is sister Qi's younger brother. I heard that Zhou Muqing standing next to the new emperor was once the only son in sister Qi's harem... Song Mei finally couldn't hold back, and quietly raised her eyes.

Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Qi Xuan's gaze.

She was startled and quickly lowered her eyes.

At this moment, Qi Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "This is the eldest girl of the Song family?"

Father Song said quickly: "If you go back to Your Majesty, it's the little girl."

Qi Xuan laughed again: "The widow has heard that the eldest girl of the Song family has gone all the way to get her fiancé back in order to break off the engagement. This kind of courage is really rare."

Song's mother pulled Song Mei, and Song Mei finally realized, knelt down and said, "Thank you for your appreciation."

Qi Xuan said: "Raise your head for the widow to see."

As soon as these words came out, Song's father and Song's mother were both stunned.Especially Song's father, he was surprised in every possible way. His daughter was a bit skinny, but he still wanted to keep her by his side. Even if he wanted to marry, he had to marry in Xiangjun.The palace is a place where people cannibalize. With Meimei's temperament, there must be no dregs left after entering the palace for a few days.

When Song Mei raised her head, Father Song's back was already in a cold sweat.

Qi Xuan looked at Song Mei and praised: "Don't panic, it's the first time that Sheng Neng is so calm, Song Cheng, you have taught me a good daughter."

"Your Majesty...my praise."

Song Mei had already met Qi Guang, so she was naturally not afraid of the emperor. She didn't know what her father was thinking, and when she was about to talk to the new emperor with a smile, Song's father suddenly said: "There are many beauties in Xiangjun, and there are countless people with strange fragrances. The little girl can only be considered mediocre." He smiled again: "The most famous in Xiangjun is the tofu Xishi in South Street, and the second girl from Nangong's family, her reputation is spread far and wide, but Xiangjun came here half a year ago. Mrs. Lu in the capital, because she seldom goes out of the mansion, everyone who happens to meet once in a while is astonished, and never forgets it ever since. Speaking of Mrs. Lu, her husband and son-in-law are also a strange person. He has only been in Xiangjun for half a year. Started from scratch, and now has the potential to become a giant. Today's young people are really scary..."

Song Mei was stunned.

She clearly told her father that she must never mention the Su family and the Lu family in front of the emperor.

When Song's father heard Song Mei's words, he felt strange in his heart, but it was just a trivial matter, and it didn't matter if he agreed.But it's different now, I have to drag a few people into the water to distract the emperor, and I can't mention the Su family and the Lu family, there must be something weird in it.In the past six months, he just turned a blind eye to his daughter helping the Lu family outside in his own name.

Now that the Lu family has what it is today, it is time to repay their favor.

Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam Lu from the capital?"

Father Song quickly responded, "Returning to Your Majesty, I heard that the Lu family is all from the capital, and they still speak with a capital accent."

Zhou Muqing laughed, and said to Qi Xuan: "Your Majesty, this is interesting. If the Lu family in Xiang County is really capable, they shouldn't be unknown in the capital. Your Majesty may wish to meet him. For yourself."

Murong Cheng snorted, and said, "It's just a mere businessman who came to this mountain village because he had no ambitions in the capital."

The two have never been at odds in court.

Murong Dang and Zhou Ruyi were also at opposite ends in the harem, and they hated each other to the extreme.Firstly, Murong Dang resented Zhou Ruyi when Emperor Guangyong was alive, taking advantage of her elder brother's favor to use her means to snatch her as queen.For the past two years Zhou Ruyi hated Murong Dang for always competing with her for favor, even though she is the empress, the position of empress is not secure.

The two competed in secret, while their brothers and fathers competed in court, and now that they came to Xiang County, Murong Cheng did not forget to turn against Zhou Muqing.

Qi Xuan didn't bother, as if he didn't hear the meaning of rivalry between the two, but said with a smile: "Alright, let's go to Lu's house to have a look."

Father Song heaved a sigh of relief.

Song Mei was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious.Taking advantage of the happy conversation between the new emperor and her father, she quietly left the hall, called her maidservant, and said, "Quick, report to the Lu residence immediately, saying that the emperor will arrive soon."

"Yes."

Song Mei's cold sweat broke out.

This is terrible, if the new emperor finds out that sister Qi and Lu Li are both alive, the consequences will be disastrous.

Knowing that her daughter was in a hurry, the maid immediately left the Song Mansion and rushed to the Lu Mansion.After a stick of incense, the maid saw Ming Qing at the gate of the Lu residence.She said out of breath, "Director Ming, this servant is Miss Song's maidservant. My girl asked the servant to tell Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu that... Your Majesty will be here soon."

After Mingqing heard this, her complexion suddenly changed.

He hurried into the house.

Unexpectedly, before he saw Lu Li and Qi Guang, he saw Yun Zhen with a pale face, surrounded by many maidservants and servants carrying hot water in and out.Yun Zhen said: "Ah Yue accidentally touched her stomach just now, and she is about to give birth..."
