After hearing what Cao said, Mrs. Li looked very unhappy. Seeing that the two of them were about to choke again, the old lady said: "Okay, the second family, your sister-in-law and the third family also take into account what they said. I am busy during the New Year. , just stay tired for a few more days, Shuyi will also take advantage of this time to get acquainted with each other more, and then we can take over after the situation subsides after the new year."
"Thank you, mother, for your understanding."
Yuan Shuyi was grateful.
Ms. Li had no choice but to say: "Yes, my wife will obey."
Half of the morning passed like this. Luo Ran returned to her yard after coming out of Ningfu Courtyard. In the past few days, she had been busy decorating the yard. Although she knew that the child could only be raised in Qionghua Courtyard in a short period of time, she still I hope I can put my child under my nose if I have the opportunity to feel at ease.
royal palace.
The emperor threw down a thick booklet and said with a straight face: "This is from the Ministry of Rites. All the beautiful girls from this draft are in it. You can choose the one you like, and after the New Year, you and the prince will make a decision. Bar."
Fu Jinan reached out to catch it, sitting on the chair and flipping through it casually.
The emperor was not in a hurry, and seemed to be chatting while drinking tea: "I heard that Luo Deyun got married yesterday, did you go too?"
"Um."
Fu Jinan looked at Zhezi and responded.
Li Baolin on the side looked at his nose and heart, as if he heard nothing, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Every time the prince and the third prince met the emperor, they were like a mouse meeting a cat. Only this commander, Every time I come to Jianzhang Palace, I feel like I am at my own home.
He raised his head and glanced at Fu Jinan, thinking of the eldest prince who died young, and sighed that things in the world are impermanent.
The emperor had long been accustomed to his attitude and didn't take it seriously. He added: "I remember that you rarely join in such fun. Why do you think of it now?"
Fu Jinan put the fold aside and looked at the bright yellow figure on the dragon throne with a smile: "What exactly do you want to say, Your Majesty?"
"Cough, cough."
The emperor coughed twice, stared into his eyes and said: "You said it was a coincidence to save people a few days ago, but this time, what's the reason? I heard that the number one scholar went to propose marriage in person, but Luo Deyun didn't even agree. "
Fu Jinan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that what the emperor heard?"
Nothing could be seen from his face. The emperor was slightly reassured and said: "If she is just an ordinary woman with some beauty, it would be okay if you take her back. But she has only been back to Beijing for a short time, and she first broke off her engagement with the Fu family. , Mrs. Fang went into the palace again to ask for the Queen Mother's decree for you, and Song Qingyou came later, which shows that she is not a peaceful person."
Fu Jinan lowered his eyes and gently touched the paper in his sleeve, hesitating whether it was necessary to take it out. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the familiar names on the folded book. He picked it up and looked at it again, and said proudly, "Since the emperor has said so, why are the names of the Luo sisters still on it?"
The emperor leaned back slightly and said slowly: "Luo Deyun is a general. Without a complicated marriage relationship, the two of them are also loyal. When used properly, he can help others, but once this person has no shortcomings, it is also the most difficult to treat him. Controlled."
He paused for a moment, glanced up, and saw that he seemed to have listened, and then continued: "As a king, you are not afraid of the incompetence of your ministers, nor are you afraid of their high power. What you are afraid of is that you cannot control it. Of course, You can’t hold on too tightly and just stare at one person, as this will easily make people resentful.”
Fu Jinan pursed his lips and said, "So, you want to give the Luo family something sweet to contain Luo Deyun?"
The emperor smiled carelessly: "If a crown prince's concubine or a minor concubine can make a general who guards the border obey you, why not?"
Fu Jinan shook his head in disapproval: "Luo Deyun may not be willing to part with it."
The emperor's face turned cold and he said softly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. Besides, just because he is not willing, it does not mean that Luo Dewen is not willing either."
Fu Jinan finally took out the piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Li Baolin, and said, "Your Majesty, you should read this first before talking."
Li Baolin took it with both hands and presented it respectfully.
The emperor glanced at him suspiciously, then opened the paper. After reading it, he frowned for a long time before speaking: "It seems that the Luo family is not blessed by this grace, but it is a pity for the girl."
Fu Jin'an then explained the emperor's initial question: "I heard before that the empress had plans to attack the Luo family, so I took advantage of yesterday to go investigate. Master Hongzhi happened to be out of seclusion, so I asked him by the way."
The emperor looked at him inquiringly and said, "In that case, why did you tell me? Wouldn't it be better for you to let the queen choose Luo Ran as the crown princess?"
Fu Jinan stood up slowly, patted the folds on his clothes, and said rather arrogantly: "What they like may not be what I want. Well, I have already shown this to you. Should I let her enter the palace or the Eastern Palace?" You make your decision, I will take my leave."
The young man's back was straight and handsome, and he walked away without hesitation.
It wasn't until the person completely disappeared from sight that the emperor spoke slowly: "Li Baolin, do you think he is telling the truth?"
Li Baolin's heart trembled, and he pondered over the words in his stomach before speaking: "The commander is devoted to the consideration of the emperor. Such a sincere heart is really rare."
The emperor sighed and said to himself: "After all, I owe it to their mother and son."
Li Baolin didn't dare to answer the question anymore. He put away the folder that Fu Jinan had just placed on the table, carefully placed it on the dragon case, and said, "Your Majesty, what about the Luo sisters..."
The emperor glanced down again and said with some regret: "I have pity on Luo Deyun. He lost his wife in his early years and finally left a daughter on his knees. He still has a low-grade fate. Forget it, you can't be careless about royal affairs. Cross them out. Bar."
"That Miss Luo Er also..."
Li Baolin wanted to make sure again.
The emperor waved his hand irritably: "Cross it out, it's useless."
"Why!"
Li Baolin responded. He knew that the emperor was teaching the commander just now, and the emperor still felt a little pity for the champion.
After coming out of the palace, Fu Jinan called Chang Ying and said, "Go and reveal Luo Ruxuefeng's fate. Remember to keep it hidden so that no one will suspect it. Also, what I said to the emperor just now is something that I can say." tell them."
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the day when Yuan Shuyi returned home. Luo Deyun specially asked for leave to accompany her. The Yuan family warmly received her, which gave Yuan Shuyi a lot of face.
After coming out of Yuan's house, Luo Deyun took a car instead of riding a horse because he was drunk.
Yuan Shuyi sat aside, without the smile on his face that he had just at Yuan's house.
Luo Deyun opened his eyelids, glanced at her, and asked, "Missing home?"
Yuan Shuyi saw that he had misunderstood and did not explain, but in the end he couldn't help but asked: "Are you going to take those two children back?"
Luo Deyun nodded, opened his eyes and looked at her and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Yuan Shuyi shook his head, raised his head and asked seriously: "Is it because of those two children that you are so kind to me?"
Luo Deyun met Yuan Shuyi's eyes. He was not a person who meant what he said. At this time, it was even harder to say deceptive words, so he nodded and said, "Part of it is."
Yuan Shuyi smiled bitterly and then felt relieved: "Thank you for not lying to me."
