After hesitating for a long time, facing Hua Hua's expectant and even begging eyes, Huang Qiong finally relented. He tapped Hua Hua's small nose and said, "Dad doesn't use Hua Hua to herd the sheep, let alone wash clothes. As long as Hua Hua can practice calligraphy with mother and practice martial arts with Duan Niangniang, dad will agree to Hua Hua."
After putting down the flowers in her arms, Huang Qiong raised her head and said to Lin Hanyan: "Tomorrow, let He Yao and the others take their children to see that woman in Zhengzhou Mansion Prison. Give her the flowers today." Tell that woman about your plea. Tell her that the flowers will have nothing to do with her from now on. Let her take care of herself and don't let this child's heart down."
After listening to Huang Qiong's instructions, Lin Hanyan nodded slightly. Originally, after learning from Liu Hu's mouth that Hua Hua's own mother had done all the outrageous things, she didn't want to come to Huang Qiong to plead for mercy. But Lin Hanyan, who was worried that Huahua would leave something he shouldn't have in her heart, couldn't bear to hurt her child, finally chose to agree after much hesitation.
As for asking Hua Hua to meet the woman tomorrow, Lin Hanyan didn't have much idea. It would be a good idea to meet up and make a complete break. After all, Hua Hua is not a newborn baby now. Facing her who is now sensible, he should be bigger in order to set a better example for the child's future.
After talking about the flowers, Lin Hanyan handed the flowers to his personal maid to take back. Looking at Huang Qiong, he hesitated and then said: "Tomorrow is Sister Xiu's big day, and Sister Xiu's dowry has been prepared. The wedding team led by Yu Mingyuan has arrived in Zhengzhou City today. Are you going to meet me when you settle down in the old Yuelai store?"
After hearing what Lin Hanyan said, Huang Qiong was slightly stunned. I have been busy with matters in Mizhou for the past two days, and I almost forgot that tomorrow is the day when Yu Mingyuan and Li Xiu will officially get married. Logically speaking, no matter from which aspect, he should meet the groom-to-be. But when he thought that Li Xiuming'er had become his, Huang Qiong felt very uncomfortable.
Even though she knew that Li Xiu was marrying for her own sake. But in Huang Qiong's heart, he still felt that he couldn't overcome that hurdle. Moreover, Yu Mingyuan had been officially transferred to Henan Road Jiedushi. Even though Li Xiu was married from Prince Jing's Mansion, it was somewhat inappropriate to meet him in private. See, I am afraid that the emperor, who is currently in a state of turmoil, may become suspicious again.
Especially now that he had just taken off the official uniform of Concubine De's biological nephew. The situation is at a relatively delicate moment, and I think it will do more harm than good. Coupled with the discomfort in his heart, several mentalities were tangled together. After Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's still gone. Seeing him will cause more trouble."
"The Duke of Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang has not usurped the throne. I am not the Duke of Zhou, and I can't be Wang Mang. But right now, it is really not the time to see him. I have just imprisoned the nephew of Concubine De, If King Song's temperament doesn't cause trouble for me, then it's not them. They also know that their little tricks that don't make sense on the stage may not really hurt me."
"But if they use those methods on Yu Mingyuan, I'm afraid he won't be so lucky. Yu Mingyuan switched from civil service to martial arts and has been fighting for many years. It would be too easy for him to have some problems. Sister Xiu made it for me I have made such a big sacrifice, and I can't live up to Sister Xiu's thoughts. A small impatience will mess up a big plan, seeing that he is not here at this moment."
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong grabbed Lin Hanyan's hand and said: "It's not good for me to show up for tomorrow's wedding. Apart from this matter, I really can't let it go. Although I am the initiator, no one else has I thought that it would eventually come to this point. I can't stop Sister Xiu, but I'm really not big enough to attend her wedding."
"You and Sister Xiu should explain this matter carefully. You and Liu Hu and his wife can just act as your parents. You should also prepare and prepare. Pack all the items that need to be packed and don't leave anything behind. Ming After my son attends the wedding, it’s time for us to return to Beijing. Tonight, please ask Sister Duan to stay with me. It will be inconvenient to meet again after we enter Beijing. "
Regarding Huang Qiong's words, Lin Hanyan did not answer immediately. Instead, she grabbed his hand, gently put it on her face and rubbed it for a long time before smiling: "You are a great master who has come and gone, even if you return to the capital, what kind of door can stop you? If you are greedy, you will be greedy, so why are you looking for so many excuses?"
"You can't always play like this every night, you should always take care of your body and bones. How many wise kings and saints in the past were finally ruined by a beauty? Did you lose your body at a young age? As the saying goes: ***** **, you will transform into a dragon when encountering wind and cloud. You are far from being a thing in the pond. Sooner or later, the day will come when your golden scales will transform into a dragon."
"Now your body and bones are not only your own, nor those of those around you. If you really want to do something for the people of this world, you should cherish your body and bones. There is only tiredness in this world. A dead cow can't plow the ground. Even if your body is made of iron, it's a bone scraper after all, so it's better to exercise some restraint."
"What's more, you are surrounded by a large group of Yingying Yanyan. I have also discussed with Sister Yao that from now on, when I am not with you, I cannot let you do whatever you want. Before your wedding, she will take care of the sleeping arrangements. Control it. I believe that Sister Yi Yao will be able to control this degree of your thoughts. It is yours, and it will always be yours after all. Even if it is for a longer-term plan, you have to save it, right?"
At this point, when Lin Hanyan saw no one in the study, he kissed Huang Qiong gently on the face and said shyly: "However, for the sake of Sister Xiu leaving, I promise you that tonight That’s right. Call Sister Xiu, and the three of us will serve you well tonight. Otherwise, you will be in trouble again. Anyway, if you get that kind of energy, which woman can bear it alone? "
Seeing Lin Hanyan, who was already shy when she said such words for the first time, Huang Qiong took the woman into his arms and tortured her before letting her go. As for Lin Hanyan's place that night, it was naturally another beautiful scene. After struggling for most of the night, a few people finally fell asleep.
As expected, Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. For the first time since arriving in this era, Huang Qiong woke up a little late. When he woke up from his sleep, Duan Jin was the only one left in his arms, still sleeping snuggled in his arms. Both Lin Hanyan and Li Xiu had already gotten up and left the house.
Seeing that the sky was completely bright, Huang Qiong gently kissed Duan Jin, who was still sleeping. Then he carefully removed Duan Jin's limbs that were clinging to him like an octopus, and thoughtfully tucked the woman into bed before getting out of bed and getting dressed. It was only after putting on his clothes that Huang Qiong discovered that a red concentric knot had been tied on his belt.
Huang Qiong knew that Li Xiu knitted this concentric knot specially for herself. Among the women around him, no one except Li Xiu has this skill. He took off the concentric knot and gently stroked the red silk thread, just like stroking Li Xiu's smooth skin, without moving for a long time.
It wasn't until the sky was completely bright that he carefully tied the concentric knot to his belt again and left the room. At this time, Prince Jing's Mansion had changed from its previous seriousness. Although it can't be said to be decorated with lanterns and festoons, it is roughly arranged. Perhaps because he wanted to make some amends, Lin Hanyan spent a lot of effort to get Li Xiu married.
At the wedding ceremony of Mingyuan and Li Xiu, Huang Qiong entrusted Sima Hong to host the wedding. Lin Hanyan, Liu Hu and his wife, as well as Su Jin and Jian Yong who came uninvited, including the daughters of He Yao, were all present. Participated as a member of the natal family. As for Huang Qiong, although he sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts in person, he did not show up at the ceremony.
During the wedding ceremony, although Li Xiu covered her head with a hijab, her eyes under the hijab were carefully searching for the figure that was once so familiar to her. In bed last night, Huang Qiong had already explained to her the reason why he would not attend the wedding. But Li Xiu always had a hope in his heart, hoping that he could send her on what might be her last journey.
When hope finally turned into disappointment, Li Xiu lowered his eyelids under the hijab and couldn't help feeling a little sad. He just followed Xi Niang's command passively, even a little numbly. Because Yu Mingyuan is already the governor of Henan Road, and the office of the governor of Henan Road is in Bianzhou, more than a hundred miles away, not in Zhengzhou.
As the military governor, Yu Mingyuan could not leave the station for too long, so the wedding had to be simple. After worshiping heaven and earth, the subsequent wedding banquet and bridal chamber ceremony were all moved to Bianzhou. Therefore, after the ceremony was completed, the couple set off back to Zhengzhou. Li Xiu declined the idea of sending Mrs. Liu, Duan Jin and He Yao to Bianzhou.
They only took away Yu Mingyuan's son, who had agreed to be a student, and Liu Hu's son. When the carriage left the east gate of Zhengzhou, Li Xiu, who had already taken off his hijab, inadvertently lifted the curtain of the carriage, wanting to take another look at this building that had brought both a difficult life and a short period of warmth to him. of the city.
But he saw the figure that he had searched for but never seen at the wedding ceremony. And that figure was standing on the city wall at the east gate of Zhengzhou, looking at him and his party in a daze. Looking at the familiar figure on the city wall, Li Xiu bit her lip and gently touched her belly with one hand.
Originally these days were the days when her menstrual period was supposed to come, but now it never came. As a mother of two children, Li Xiu naturally knows the reason for this. She didn't expect that she had been careful before, but in the last few days of madness, she still couldn't escape.
Gently stroking her belly and looking at the familiar figure on the city wall, Li Xiu's eyes turned red. Until the carriage driving on the official road was getting further and further away from Zhengzhou City, and the city wall could no longer be seen. Lin Hanyan, who had just been by her side, carefully selected the two maids for her to marry, and they lowered the curtains on the carriage after repeated urging.
Standing on the city wall at this time, I also kept watching the wedding party walking further and further away until they finally disappeared. Huang Qiong, whose heart was extremely heavy at this time, rubbed his face that was almost frozen by the cold wind, then gently touched the concentric knot tied around his waist, and silently recited in his heart: "The future Take care, Sister Xiu." Then he turned around and stepped down the city wall.
In the Huang Qiong Palace in Zhengzhou, Yu Mingyuan, who scored twice, was returning to his residence from Zhengzhou with his bride, full of joy. Almost at the same time, the King of Shu's Courtyard in the capital was hidden in a disinfecting atmosphere. It has been a tradition in official circles for thousands of years that the higher the level, the worse the confidentiality.
On the day when the emperor ordered Quan to inform Zhengzhou to deal with the envoys, confer the title of King of England, and issue the imperial edict to return to Beijing, everyone who should know or wanted to know, or who had been paying attention to Zhengzhou, or simply those who were paying attention to the King of England, all I already know this from various sources. This also includes the King of Shu who is under house arrest in another courtyard.
