After seeing each other again after a long absence, Li Shi couldn't help but shed tears when he saw that Wanyan Yong was a little tired: "Lu'er, you have been away from Liaoyang for a few years, and our nephew and uncle can only express our love through writing. Now that you are back in Beijing, I will watch." Everything is fine with you, so you can feel at ease!"
He was also deeply affectionate and replied calmly: "My mother's uncle is my father. The young Wulu lost his father, and his sister also became a monk early. My uncle treats Lu's son as his own son. This affection will never be forgotten by Wulu."
"That's right, Lu'er!"
He raised his head and looked at the Li family, but saw that no one was around, and asked again: "My uncle said that the Li family respected the second wife as their leader, and later they added a little cousin, but why did my uncle not call them?" Come, even Kuike and the two sisters are not here!"
"Kui Ke is studying at Taixue with Mr. Zhang from the west of the city. Your two sisters are probably practicing the piano and calligraphy."
"My uncle's family has a strict family tradition. Even Wulu's Yuxiao and Yunzhong are not as good as his two sisters."
Li Shi touched the tea cup and smiled: "The princess and the prince are only a little older, but they are only six or seven years old. Now Qingya and Qingru are eleven or twelve years old. If they don't hold back any more, they are afraid of marrying off when they are older." An in-laws joke.”
"Yes! Time flies! You have grown up."
Wanyan Yong was quiet for a moment, when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of pipa playing from outside the house. The slow sound reached his ears. The big strings were like heavy rain, the small strings were like whispers, and they were like beads on a jade plate.
When he heard this song, he immediately put down his tea cup and listened, and smiled again: "Is this song "Neon Clothes"?"
He also wondered: "This song should have a light melody, but why is it played so depressed and low, full of desolation? Does my uncle know who is playing it?"
Li Shi's expression turned bad, he paused and said, "It's Qingya who's playing!"
He was even more puzzled and asked: "Cousin, is there anything on your mind?"
"What's wrong with a kid? Maybe she's not very skilled!"
He was somewhat curious, but did not ask further. Li Shi immediately changed the subject: "Lu'er! How many concubines do you have in your house now?"
He smiled sheepishly, with a trace of blush on his cheeks, and turned the tea cup again and said: "It's not just those few. Wulu only feels that there are no more concubines. If he can choose a beautiful woman to enter the house, he will make the house more beautiful." Just live in peace with each other, Wulu doesn't like to be troubled."
"The imperial concubine is virtuous and virtuous, with a beautiful appearance and intelligence. Mrs. Xu Guo is a quiet girl in her boudoir, so she will not cause many troubles. However, I heard that Mrs. Liang Guo is not very peaceful!"
He lowered his eyes and said: "Xiang Ling is a little willful, but seeing that she is young, I won't care about her anymore! It will be better as she gets older."
"Lu'er, do you still want to add a seat?"
He turned sideways in confusion: "What do you mean, uncle?"
"Luer still remembers Qingya, do you want to accept her?"
Li Shi said this confidently, but it made him think deeply. He put his hands on the table and looked at her, his eyes suddenly filled with mist: "Uncle, I haven't seen Qingya in the past six years. I really miss you." To the extreme, I don’t know if we can still be as close as we were back then, I’m afraid there will be some resentment!”
"There can be no discord. You two have had a close relationship since childhood. Brothers are like fathers. Besides, you belong to your husband's family. You two will live together in the future. If you break up, you should not get closer slowly."
Wan Yanyong looked at him like this, and a deep feeling came to his heart again: "Uncle, where is my sister? Wulu wants to see her immediately!"
Li Shi came over slowly and smiled: "Okay, okay, someone is here!"
He was about to ask the maid to call Qingya over, but then he remembered Qingya's condition. He said to Wanyanyong: "By the way, Lu'er, Qingya is feeling a little unwell. I'm afraid it won't be convenient for me to come here. Why don't you move on and follow me?" Want to take a look at Lanyuan?"
"What's wrong with my sister? What kind of illness is it?" he asked anxiously after hearing this.
Li Shi waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a minor illness."
After listening to Li Shiyan, he followed him along the corridor to Weilan Garden.
He walked through a plum garden covered with heavy snow, listening to the sound of the pipa, and then walked inward. At the end of the long corridor, there was the elegant Nuan Pavilion, and next to it was her embroidery building.
Wanyanyong raised his head, his eyes wandering among the plum branches, looking for an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He couldn't wait to see his cousin. He looked through the luxuriant leaves and branches, then turned to search for her, and suddenly saw her standing by the railing playing music.
He saw that she had a plump face with a hint of happiness, red lips and bright eyes, pink and white skin, and a head of slightly yellowish curly hair that reached her waist. There was a sapphire blue eyebrow pendant hanging on her forehead, and her jade body was covered with a Yuebai plain clothes, with two rings of pearl and jade bells hanging around her waist at all times as before.
The slightly falling white snow was stuck in her hair, and there were some red plum petals on her cloak. Although she didn't look stunning, she had a little bit of agility and beauty.
I also heard that she skillfully played the strings of the pipa, and the music was refreshing and slowly ending, which gave me some surprises.
When he saw her, tears seemed to well up in his heart, and deep down he didn't know what to do, so he rolled up his sleeves and lingered there, looking up at her from time to time.
Li Shi seemed to see something, pursed his lips and smiled, calling him: "Lu'er!"
When he was called for the first time, he was still looking up quietly, and Li Shi called for the second time: "Lu'er!"
He suddenly came to his senses: "Ah, ah, oh, uncle, tell me!"
"Why don't you let Qingya come down!"
At this time, his cheeks were already red, and he said with some shyness: "Okay, I will listen to my uncle."
Wanyanyong softly called out: "Qingya!"
Hearing the familiar warm voice, she stopped playing, and after waiting for a long time, she leaned over and took a look, but she only saw a person in purple robe looming among the flower branches. She moved forward again, and then This shows his majestic figure.
She couldn't suppress the old emotions in her heart, so her eyes turned red and she replied softly: "Cousin, you are back!"
She gently put down the pipa in her hand, and walked down regardless of her injuries. She carefully went downstairs, her steps staggering and heavy, and walked through the heavy snow to the corridor, where she met her old friend from those years ago.
She patted the white snow off her body, cried with joy, and bowed to the ground with all her strength: "Greetings, your Majesty!"
She raised her eyes and saw that her cousin was still graceful and graceful after many years, and tears burst into her eyes. The scene when she was playing with him as a child came to mind.
Wanyan Yong slowly approached and smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms on her body. His eyes were red, and he gently lifted her up with his hands and called out: "Qingya!"
She felt that the wound on her body had opened again, and her whole body trembled when she stood up, and she couldn't even stand still. He immediately held her up with both hands: "What's wrong with my sister?"
She shook her head: "No!"
She raised her head slightly and cried again: "Cousin!"
The two of them looked at each other with tears in their eyes. In the hazy state, he gently held her in his arms, wiped away her tears and asked, "After a few years apart, my sister has grown up. How is her life now?"
Qingya suddenly felt that this was inappropriate, so she broke away from her arms and took a step back, adjusted her clothes and replied: "Okay, Qingya is fine, but I only miss my sister-in-law and brother. Unfortunately, Liaoyang is far away, so it is difficult to express my thoughts."
Seeing that she looked strange, he asked, "Qingya, why are you pregnant now?"
She bowed her head and said: "When I was young, I lived with my cousin and were very close. This was due to my innocence and ignorance. Now that I have grown up, I naturally have to pay attention to the differences between men and women!"
He lowered his eyes: "Okay, I understand everything you said."
"yes!"
Seeing the deep love between the two, Li Shi said, "Lu'er! It's very cold outside, let's go into the Nuan Pavilion!"
After Wan Yanyong agreed, he said to her: "Sister, it's cold outside, just come into the house with me!"
The two walked side by side, but she was tortured every step of the way, and had to hold back a forced smile. After taking a step or two, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she stopped holding on to the door rail, her face red.
"Sister, if you feel unwell, would you like to see the doctor?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
She took a few steps forward, only to feel that the wound was cracking open and the pain was heartbreaking. Cui He held her close to support her.
He felt more and more something was wrong, so he looked her up and down and asked, "Sister, are you serious?"
"It's okay, cousin, please!"
Inside the house, Li Shi and Wanyan Yong lived at the top, while Qingya stood at the bottom. Seeing that she was not sitting down at her old position, he asked, "Sister, why don't you sit down?"
Li Shi hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "She can't sit, she's injured!"
"What's the harm?"
His eyes were hidden: "Yesterday, I scolded her with my housekeeping staff."
Let's just say this. Yan Yong immediately became angry as soon as he said it. He stood up in a hurry. He had never seen a daughter of a famous family being punished with a stick. He frowned and said: "Uncle, you are elegant and delicate. How can you hit her!"
"She... made a serious mistake and had to be severely punished."
"What's so wrong?"
She immediately continued her words, with a hint of guilt in her voice, and her voice was as clear as pearls: "I...I am not wrong, but..."
Li Shi pointed at her angrily and said: "You are a rebellious girl and you still don't know your fault. Lu'er, now that you are here, I won't treat you as an outsider."
He lowered his voice: "Did you know that this rebellious girl actually had a secret meeting with King Naqi? Tell me, she didn't learn how to do it well when she was young, and she was always in public."
Wanyan Yong was stunned: "Brother Wang? Is it Brother Wang?"
"Yes, you are the Prime Minister! Tell me, how can my uncle not be punished?"
He was half shocked in his heart, but he said gently: "Qing Ya doesn't know how to do it. My uncle must have misunderstood."
"What's the misunderstanding? The two of them had more than one private meeting! She refuses to change despite repeated admonitions!"
"Uncle, you are too worried. Qingya will not be like this! The lonely king has been with her since childhood and knows her best."
After what he said, Li Shi was quiet for a moment and lost his usual fierce expression.
He walked up to Qingya again and asked: "Qingya, you are injured, so go back to the pavilion to rest. Don't stand for a long time."
