This morning.
Li Chengqian was having breakfast.
Li Chongyi came rushing over.
"Sister, are you sure everything is ready?"
"Of course."
Li Chengqian bit the sesame seed cake in his mouth: "Wait a moment, follow me. You can stand wherever I tell you."
"When the time comes, I will definitely send my wife to your arms."
Hear this.
Li Chongyi suddenly smiled.
"Really, put it in my arms?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.
At most she is just this daughter-in-law, not Miss Cui.
Li Chengqian warned: "But I have made an agreement with you."
"When the time comes, you have to stand wherever I tell you to go."
"Otherwise, it's not you who gets hit by this wife, but you wouldn't be the one to blame."
"good."
"As long as you are willing to help me."
"I will listen to you in everything."
See how innocent Li Chongyi looked that day.
Changsun Chong and Cheng Huailiang suppressed laughter until their faces turned green.
…
Duke Lu's Mansion.
After breakfast.
Mrs. Lu Guo was going to take Sun Tingfang to the palace courtyard to attend the elegant gathering.
Unexpectedly, they were waiting for the groom to hitch the carriage.
There was a sudden noise behind him.
Mrs. Lu Guo frowned and looked.
Just then, I saw Mrs. Cui walking towards this side, surrounded by a large group of people.
And beside her was her little niece.
"Hey, madam, what are you going to do?"
Ms. Cui came over with a smile like a flower and stood facing Mrs. Lu Guo.
"Why do I need you to care about me?"
Mrs. Lu Guo has always been unhappy with her, so it's strange that she can give her a good look.
But Mrs. Cui didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "It seems that Madam is also going to the palace to attend the gathering held by the princess?"
"how do you know?"
Mrs. Lu Guo frowned.
"hehe."
"The princess is talking about inviting the ladies and nobles from Chang'an."
"Although my sister is not talented, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Cui family."
"Besides, my sister has a niece who is not yet married."
"I heard that many young princes will be here today."
"If I can find a good match for my niece, it will be her blessing."
When she said this, she also pulled a woman next to her.
This girl is none other than Cui Yinghe, the second daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe.
Seeing this girl, Mrs. Lu Guo was also shocked.
Apart from other things, at least from the outside, Cui Yinghesheng is pretty and pleasant, with a gentle and dignified temperament.
If you compare her with Sun Tingfang, you can easily tell the difference.
One is the legitimate daughter of a noble family, and the other is Biyu of Xiaojia.
Comparing the aristocratic family with the small family, it seems that the exquisite jasper has to make way for the aristocratic family.
Seeing Mrs. Lu Guo's face looking slightly shocked.
The corners of Cui's mouth raised higher.
When passing by Mrs. Lu Guo.
She chuckled again: "I heard that both the King of Qin and the Prince of Hejian will be coming to this gathering."
"The prince of Hejian has reached the age of marriage, but has not yet discussed the marriage."
"Could it be that the madam brought her niece here because she had an idea for him?"
When saying this, Cui deliberately glanced at Sun Tingfang with contemptuous eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu Guo couldn't hold herself any longer, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think anyone is as shameless as you?"
"Okay, okay, I have no shame."
Cui's smile was bright and contemptuous.
She did not quarrel with Mrs. Lu Guo, but waved gently and called: "Yinghe, let's go."
Mrs. Lu Guo can see through everything.
I can't stand her arrogant look.
Just when Mrs. Lu Guo was about to scold her, she suddenly felt someone holding her hand.
She looked back and saw Sun Tingfang shaking her head at her.
Although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything.
After the carriage was hitched, Mrs. Lu Guo took Sun Tingfang with her in the carriage to the palace courtyard.
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Lu Guo couldn't help but complain.
"You have seen how shameless this old clam is when he remarries."
"Why don't you let me scold her a little more?"
Sun Tingfang helped her caress her chest and comforted her.
Just smile and don't speak.
In fact, it was not without reason that Mrs. Lu Guo called Cui an old clam.
Cui was already thirty-five when she married Cheng Yaojin as her concubine.
Don't use others, just use Empress Changsun to compare.
She married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen.
At the age of seventeen, Li Chengqian was born to Li Shimin.
If history continues, Li Tai will bring her her first grandson when she is thirty-two years old.
If you calculate it this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ms. Cui, who is in her thirties, is at the level of a grandmother.
"Why are not you talking?"
Mrs. Lu Guo looked at Sun Tingfang with impatience on her face.
"My aunt is so angry, how can my niece talk?"
Sun Tingfang looked at Mrs. Lu Guo and pursed her lips.
"My aunt should know that my uncle is a very smart person."
"And the relationship between aunt and uncle has always been very good."
"In that case, why don't aunt think about it, the two cousins are so old, and the cousin is already three years old."
"Why did my uncle marry a thirty-five-year-old widow when his career was going smoothly and his sons were all ready to succeed?"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Lu Guo was stunned for a moment.
Sun Tingfang's words have made it clear enough.
If she can't understand anymore, then she will really become a fool.
Mrs. Lu Guo sighed and said, "I think it's probably related to the dispute in the court."
"That's it."
"My aunt shouldn't tear down my uncle."
"I have to let my uncle continue to sing this opera."
Sun Tingfang smiled slightly: "My niece believes that sooner or later, my uncle will return to my aunt again."
After hearing these remarks, Mrs. Lu Guo felt relieved and at the same time she couldn't help but take a breath.
"How do you know so much at such a young age?"
"It's all from books."
Sun Tingfang explained slowly.
"After that, you have to let me read this book."
Mrs. Lu Guo said seriously.
Sun Tingfang couldn't help but smile: "If aunt likes it, my niece will send it to you."
The aunt and nephew were chatting happily.
The carriage behind was not so cheerful.
Looking at the carriage in front of her, Ms. Cui's eyes were dark.
"Are you sure that Prince Hejian is interested in you?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Cui Yinghe smiled charmingly: "A few days ago, when I met Shi Hui, he kept pestering me and kept talking."
"That flattering look is like a dog wagging its tail."
If Li Chongyi knew.
Miss Cui, whom she had longed for, compared him to a dog, and she didn't know what his expression would be.
After hearing these remarks, the smile on Cui's face became even more contemptuous.
"In this case, let's seize this opportunity."
Mrs. Cui looked back at Cui Yinghe, and her eyes suddenly turned pitiful again.
"If it were before, let alone your father, even I would never agree to your marrying a member of the royal family."
"But things are different now..."
"We must regain control of the grain road through a marriage with the King of Hejian."
Cui Yinghe smiled contemptuously.
"Don't worry, aunt."
"As for Li Chongyi, my niece is at my fingertips..."
Poor Li Chongyi...
He was afraid that he still didn't know that Miss Cui, whom he longed for, was actually such a person.
