marriage gentleman

Chapter 88

In the main hall, Emperor Yuanzhen sat on a large official hat chair.

The chair was covered with a whole layer of tiger skin.

Even though Emperor Yuanzhen was sitting upright, it could still be seen that his complexion was extremely bad.It is said that when a person is about to die, there will be a dead breath in his body, which can be smelled from far away.

As soon as Qi Guang stepped into the hall and saw Emperor Yuan Zhen for the first time, she sensed the dead air.

During the time before Huizong passed away, Qi Guang also saw her.Not long afterwards, Huizong died.While Qi Guang was looking at him, Emperor Yuanzhen was also looking at Qi Guang.

Although his voice was low, it also carried a bit of weakness.

"Child, come here."

There were no palace people in the hall, only Emperor Yuanzhen, Qi Guang, and Lu Li.As soon as Emperor Yuanzhen said this, Qi Guang glanced at Lu Li, and for a while he didn't know whether it was her or him that Emperor Yuanzhen called.

Lu Li didn't move.

After entering the palace, his expression began to be wrong.

Seeing this, Qi Guang simply greeted Emperor Yuanzhen, and took a few steps forward to walk in front of Emperor Yuanzhen.Emperor Yuanzhen stretched out his hand slowly and put it on Qi Guang's left shoulder, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Neither haughty nor overbearing, neither frightened nor frightened, the girls raised by Da Zhou's mountains and rivers are really different from Da Wei." After a pause, he continued, "It's thanks to you for taking care of Zheng'er all these years."

The emperor smiled slightly.

Emperor Yuanzhen's easy-going made Qi Guang feel more cordial. Facing such Emperor Yuanzhen, Qi Guang lamented that Jiang was still old and spicy on the one hand, and on the other hand couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty is serious, you have always been He's taking care of me."

Lu Li couldn't ignore the emperor's attitude.

The father was talking and laughing with his wife, so he couldn't just stand aside.Lu Li stepped forward, pulled Qi Guang slightly, and shielded her behind her back without any trace, Fang said: "I pay my respects to my father."

The smile on Emperor Yuanzhen's face deepened.

At this time, he coughed a few times, and there seemed to be thousands of phlegm in his throat. Gradually, his cough became more severe and heart-piercing.The servant outside hurried in, but he waved his hand to Emperor Yuanzhen and drove him out.

Seeing Emperor Yuanzhen's appearance, Lu Li couldn't hold back after all.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Emperor Yuanzhen.

When Emperor Yuanzhen took it, he took a deep look at Lu Li.He took a few sips slowly, and then lightened his throat again.Perhaps it was because of the violent cough just now that his lips became a little paler.He and Lu Li said: "Zheng'er, you must be able to see that the number of widows is approaching. In the past, we were forced to do so, but now you are back. We will compensate you."

He coughed heavily again for a while.

"...You have been in Dazhou for more than 20 years. Although it was difficult, it is now a reward. You went to Dazhou as a hostage for the country, and you have a reputation among the people. Now that you have returned to Dawei, the people are also very happy. Zhen Son is always young..."

Qi Guang listened and felt that Emperor Yuanzhen was actually a good father.

As soon as Lu Li came back, he said so many things to him, all from Lu Li's point of view, and he never used his status as emperor to overwhelm Lu Li.Although the method of forcing Lu Li to come back was a bit more drastic, but...if it was her, she would do the same.

But from this point of view, Qi Guang knew that Su Chengyu had never told the emperor about her identity, maybe even Lu Li had never said that he had been a servant of the Ministry of Rites in Da Zhou.And she and Lu Li only saw each other right in the past few years. It just so happened that Wei was busy with civil strife in the past few years, and the emperor of Wei really had no time to take care of the sixth prince of Da Zhou.

Perhaps it was because Lu Li was too silent, Emperor Yuan Zhen changed the subject.

He rubbed his hands and asked, "Why didn't you see Wan Wan? Didn't you give birth to a little girl?" When he was talking about the latter, Emperor Yuanzhen looked at Qi Guang.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Li and Qi Guang were stunned.

Wasn't Wanwan snatched away by Emperor Yuanzhen?
The couple looked at each other, each seeing consideration in the other's eyes.For a moment, Qi Guang couldn't tell whether the words were true or false.Just as Lu Li was about to speak, Emperor Yuan Zhen coughed violently, and there was tiredness in his eyes.

A servant from outside came in and helped the emperor to rest on the couch. After a long time, he came out and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is tired. Please return to your residence first." Lu Li and Qi Guang walked out of the hall.

The servant led the two of them to the outside of the palace, and they were a little silent along the way.Seeing that the palace gate was about to arrive, Lu Liping withdrew the servants.As soon as the servant left, Qi Guang said, "The emperor doesn't know that Wan Wan has been brought to Dawei, so who took Wan Wan?"

Qi Guang is very unfamiliar with Wei.

What's more, the palace is intricate and complicated, and the hot and popular sixth prince has already made many enemies in the future.

Lu Li sighed.

For no reason, he was a little afraid of the answer.He was worried that Concubine De would take Wan Wan away, that is, the mother who insisted on replacing her elder brother and letting him be a hostage.Even though he no longer expected to find the lost family relationship here, he didn't expect to end up at the point of breaking up.

Yun Zhen is the one who knows everything.

If he had told Concubine De, it would not be surprising that Concubine De would come up with such a method.

At this moment, suddenly a Gong'e came straight up, stopped in front of Lu Li and Qi Guang, and after saluting, she only heard Gong'e say: "Your Highness, madam, we will meet you."

An old friend?

Qi Guang was taken aback.

Where did she come from in Dawei?After the prince became an adult, he built a new prince's mansion outside, and Lu Li had already reached the crown. It just so happened that when the third prince's mansion was built, the third prince had gone west before he could live in it, and there happened to be a ready-made mansion.

After Yun Zhen returned to Wei, he was still living in Qinghuaxuan in the palace before he reached the age of Guan.

It was the turn of spring and winter. Although the weather was cold, greenery could already be seen in the corner of the wall. Wild flowers bloomed early, light yellow and light purple, swaying in the wind.A dark blue figure stood in front of the corner of the wall, with a brocade robe and jade belt, black hair tied up with a jade crown, combed meticulously, and a calm look on his face that seemed old-fashioned beyond his age.

Lu Li and Qi Guang followed Gong'e all the way, and saw such a scene when they first arrived at Qinghuaxuan.

I haven't seen him for half a year, but as soon as Yun Zhen puts on the prince's brocade robe, he seems to be a different person.At first glance, Qi Guang had a vague feeling in his heart when he saw Lu Li in the court.

Yun Zhen looked towards the two of them slowly, showing a strange smile.

"The sixth prince and Miss Qi are here."

As soon as Qi Guang heard this title, he immediately knew that something was wrong with Yun Zhen.When he was in Xiangjun, he must have heard the conversation between Lu Li and her, that's why he called Lu Li the sixth prince, not the emperor brother.

Yun Zhen turned sideways, and said again: "Evening is coming, I prepared dinner in the palace, it's rare for old people to see each other, please."

Qi Guang was about to say something, but Lu Li held her hand.

He said indifferently: "An old friend invites you, the kindness is hard to refuse, please."

Looking at the two brothers, Qi Guang suddenly felt a headache.Nothing is settled, and seeing that Lu Li and Yun Zhen seem to have a tendency to create another turmoil.The three entered Qingfengxuan together.

There are seven or eight dishes on the table, all covered with blue and white porcelain covers with twining patterns.

After the three sat down, Yun Zhen clapped her hands.

Some palace maids came and lifted the covers one by one.

The seven or eight dishes on the table are all bamboo shoots, and there are all kinds of bamboo shoots.Even the calm Qi Guang couldn't help showing surprise. She looked at Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen looked at Lu Li quietly.

"After the fifth brother passed away, my mother missed you very much. After I was born, my mother often let me eat bamboo shoots, saying that you loved bamboo shoots when you were young. Goat milk doesn't work as long as you cry, but let you smell the bamboo shoots. You will miraculously stop crying. Sometimes, I even blame you, because my mother always imposes your preferences on me."

Yun Zhen's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Until now, I can't tell which ones I really like and which ones you like. I have always admired you, but in the end, to you, it's just a joke."

His brows and eyes suddenly became sharper.

"From now on, I will no longer treat you as my brother, you are my enemy."

Qi Guang said, "Yun Zhen..."

He said: "I am no longer Yun Zhen, I am Rong Zhen, the twelve princes of Wei." As if remembering something, his expression softened, and he said to Qi Guang: "When I win Rong Zheng, Will you come with me?"

The corner of Qi Guang's mouth twitched.

How can anyone dig a wall as directly as you?
Lu Li asked, "Where is Wan Wan?"

Qi Guang couldn't help being shocked, and looked at Yun Zhen in surprise.A cold smile floated on the corner of Yun Zhen's lips, he said: "The sixth prince is still smart, Wan Wan is in Dexiang Palace." After finishing speaking, he called the palace servants to come in.

Just listen to Yun Zhen's order: "Pour out all these meals."

He stared at Lu Li.

"Don't even think about eating something from my place! Come and send the sixth prince to me!"

After finishing speaking, two guards appeared and sent Lu Li and Qi Guang out of Qinghua Pavilion.Yun Zhen looked at the backs of the two going away, her lips were tightly pursed, and the fists under her sleeves were also tightly clenched.

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.

"Does Your Highness regret it?"

Yun Zhen subconsciously said: "No! I won't regret it!" He turned around and looked at Gu Shan.After Gu Shan picked him up from Xiangjun, he often stayed by his side, giving him advice.

Gu Shan is a talented person.

His strategy made him look up to by his father, who valued himself much more than before.

Gu Shan said: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is very prestigious among the people. Although you have done a lot of things to please His Majesty in the past few months, you are still not as good as the Sixth Prince. According to the imperial physician, Your Majesty is running out of time. Yes, now that the sixth prince has returned. If His Highness wants to compete with the sixth prince, it may not be so easy."

Yun Zhen said: "I must fight with him! Please help me."

Gu Shan smiled slightly.

"The humble position will definitely help His Highness."

Yun Zhen gritted her teeth secretly.

He must compete with Lu Fox, he must let Lu Fox beg to call him his younger brother, and let him know that the biggest mistake in his life is to treat him as a joke!
