She scratched her neck again and said, "I heard someone arguing, so I ran over to take a look. Unexpectedly, I fell down when I passed the entrance of the garden. No, daddy, look, my clothes are all stained."
She said extremely seriously, then lowered her head and turned sideways to show Li Shi the dirty spots on her dress.
"Then, I summoned my sister and sister-in-law Jiagu, and then I saw the people from Zhihou passing on my father's message."
She resolved the conflict with a few words like this. Li Shi saw her serious look and stopped asking. He only cared about Qingru's condition.
He took a handkerchief and wiped Qingru's cheek and said: "Okay, the kids will inevitably be a little unhappy together, so sit down."
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the armchair next to her with the help of the maid.
Qing Ya saw such a scene, and Li Shi's loving face and iron heart as a military commander were all devoted to Qing Ru. But for her, she had never felt a father's love like a mountain, nor had she ever had a trace of pampering from her father. , she thought about walking on thin ice these years, and couldn't help but lower her eyes step by step, looking at the hand she was holding tightly with envy, feeling secretly sad.
Because of this, Li Shi felt the slightest bit displeased with little Mrs. Gao. He stared at her for a long time, then sat down and said in a friendly manner: "Well, what's the big deal? It's just a kid's family playing around!"
The scene was silent for a long time. Someone next to Wanyanyong suddenly said something to him. He immediately lowered his eyes and held the tea cup in his right hand for a long time. He was silent for a long time before he stepped forward and stood next to her. He smiled and said: "Ya'er, you fell down but it's all right! How about I called the doctor to come and take a look?"
These words made her feel like a breath of fresh air, as if all the neglect she had received gradually dissipated. She pursed her lips and nodded: "Oh, it's okay, cousin, it's just a slight fall."
"Is everything really okay?"
"Don't worry, cousin!"
"Okay, Prince Gu, don't worry. Come on, sit next to Prince Gu!"
"Uncle, please let me sit down quickly!"
Li Shi was in a trance at the moment, but these words woke him up, and he immediately waved: "Look, I am an old fool. Sit down quickly and let my cousin sit down."
After he finished speaking, he wanted to return to his seat and was about to reach out to pull her, but she secretly avoided it, leaving him empty.
She sat on the pier closest to Wan Yanyong, and Mr. Gao also sat on the small pier next to her. The relatives and their family gathered together and sat around the two stoves that were emitting light smoke.
He supported his head with his left hand, looked sideways at Qingya, and said righteously to Li Shi: "Uncle, it is normal for children to play together in every family, and there is no need to care so much. Just listen to what happened to the lonely king recently. Let’s have some interesting stories!”
"Lu'er, tell me! Is it the Ministry of War that has won His Majesty's praise?"
"No, I heard some people talk about Wulu's identity recently. I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional, but I found it interesting when I thought about it."
Li Shi immediately turned his head over and frowned: "Who is so bold and dares to speak nonsense about the prince?"
"Wulu just suddenly heard some rumors. I think the people involved must not dare to tell them clearly. "
When he said this, there seemed to be something in his words, and they were immediately frightened to the point that Qingru and Xiao Gao didn't dare to raise their heads even an inch. Their heads seemed to be pressing against a huge mountain, and they both bowed their heads.
He said gently but firmly: "You always talk about how a concubine who fills a house can't get on the stage? Why is Wulu a concubine and a prince? How can he be so despicable!"
Li Shi sneered lightly and said with a straight face: "What a ridiculous statement. I, Lu'er, are the son of a phoenix and a grandson of a dragon. I am extremely valuable. How can some vulgar people talk about it? If I meet such a person, I will kill him." Off his head."
Although the words were rude, it was not difficult to see his love and protection for Wan Yanyong in his words. He only heard his long and heavy voice, which frightened the two girls to sit on the pillar and tremble.
Kyouto looked at the dead silence and smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to these people. They are all evil-tongued people."
He said to Gongren gently: "What my aunt said is true, so Wulu didn't pay much attention to it. Wulu often thought about what happened to the commoner. The lonely king is a commoner, and the lonely king's father is also a commoner. It's better than this Are you missing a head? A leg?"
While he was speaking, he would look at Qingru and the two from time to time, with a majestic tone that made them bow their heads and remain silent, cautiously.
Li Shi seemed to understand some of the truth, so he couldn't say anything. He just sat aside and drank tea, swallowing the tea like chewing wax.
"Yes, that's what the king said."
"Speaking of it, my aunt was my uncle's second wife at first, and now she is an upright eldest wife. It can be seen that there is not much difference between the legitimate concubines."
He lowered his eyes and said slowly: "My aunt is so blessed. She has been granted a royal title and has a son and a daughter. Now that she is pregnant again, Wulu wants to keep this blessing going."
When Gongren heard what he said, he looked at Jiagu Tantan and said with some doubts in his eyes: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
He turned his face to look at Qingya's nod, then stretched out his hand to pull her over by the jade wrist and said: "The lonely king would like to express his gratitude to His Majesty, make Qingya the wife of the country, and enter the palace with the gift of imperial edict."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded. Qingya was also stunned. She immediately raised her eyes. The palm of her hand was sweating. She hurriedly took her hand back, but he pulled it back and held it firmly. .
Kyouto gently placed Tang Pozi in his arms on the table and said: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. Qing Ya is only a teenager. The two ladies in your mansion were only granted imperial titles after having children. I'm afraid... Is there anything wrong? Why not wait a few years until she grows up?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There is a precedent in our court. When my sister entered my father's mansion, she was granted a royal title first. Now that Qing Ya has entered the mansion, she can just follow her old rules."
He looked at Qingya again and said: "My aunt taught Qingya well, she was knowledgeable, sensible, and considerate. King Gu watched her grow up, so he had a deep relationship with her. It was inappropriate not to be by her side in the past six years. Now that I have returned to the capital, I will naturally bring her into the palace in an upright and dignified manner, so the position of the country's lady is worthy."
As he spoke, he patted the back of her hand and smiled at her again.
Hearing his firm tone, Li Shi's displeasure seemed to have disappeared. He turned to express his joy and said: "It is really a blessing for the dog girl to have such a loving nephew in her eight lifetimes. Then you and I will be together." The family then found a day to discuss the matter carefully."
"Of course, it will be decided before the new year."
Like a thunderbolt, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she pulled her left hand back with all her strength, trying to argue, but she felt it was inappropriate.
His eyes fell on Qingru and Xiao Gao. He said quietly for a long time: "In that case, uncle, Wulu has one more thing to tell you!"
"Luer, just say it!"
"Qingya is a royal decree. It is extremely noble. No one in the Li family should be negligent." As he spoke, he knocked on the wooden tea table and stared at Qingru from time to time.
"Now, Lu'er, don't worry. I know what's going on, uncle, so don't worry."
"Then Wulu will be relieved!" He nodded and said with some satisfaction.
"Qingya, you can go back to the palace with the lonely king today!"
She was immersed in her own sorrow and could not recover. Suddenly she heard his call and quietly raised her head.
"Cousin, please stay for a while! Qingya has made enough preparations?"
"You don't need to prepare anything, just come and stay for a while like you did when you were a child!"
She stood up again: "Cousin, Qingya is still a little uncomfortable with your return to Beijing. Please take it easy!"
She stood in front of Wan Yanyong in a dignified manner. He felt slightly uncomfortable after hearing this. He looked at this woman carefully, but she was only twelve years old, but she still thought like an adult.
The cold light passed through the lattice screen in the backyard, then passed through the arched doorway and fell on the couch behind her, falling on her reddish cheeks. He only glanced at her standing upright.
The slightly yellowish curly hair contrasts with the delicate cheeks. The emerald gemstone hairpin on her head is clear and exquisite. The pearls on her two braids are shining with a little light. The silver hair that meanders along her head to her shoulders. The silk pearl tassels swayed with the breeze, and compared with the pearls were her cherry red lips and clear water eyes.
He is handsome and unrestrained, and she should be a beautiful woman who matches him, but he seems to be obsessed with the woman in front of him. He knows that she has long been an indispensable part of his life. Even so, he also understands She should be given space to think.
"Then let's do it early tomorrow morning!"
"Cousin..."
She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Shi: "Qingya, you must listen to your Majesty!"
She glanced at her mother from the corner of her eye, only looking at her slowly heavier body and haggard face. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose and her eyes were hazy. It took her a long time to slowly answer: "Yes, Qingya obeys your order." .”
Gongren sat in the chair, seeing her daughter's helplessness in her eyes, and feeling pain in her heart. She didn't even dare to look into her eyes that were gradually failing, those eyes that had gradually become dim and dull after being tortured. She didn't dare to hold her hands that had never been warm. Thinking about this alone, she felt countless guilt stuck in her heart, but she couldn't express it.
