Zhou Ruiyuan bowed, "Yes, uncle."
The emperor, who had been struggling on the bed for several days, seemed to have woken up at this moment. He looked at his calm son with regret in his eyes.
In the past, when Seoyeon was young, weren't they a kind father and a filial son?
What changed later? Was it the imperial power?
He was not angry, but quietly closed his eyes and thought about all this. ?.?????.???
After Lu Yan saw the half-dead emperor, his resentment disappeared a lot. After leaving the palace, he returned to the general's mansion.
Also coming back this time was Miss Mo.
and their children.
The Lu family and Miss Mo had a son and a daughter, who were older than the children in the Du Wanchun family.
Du Wanchun specially entertained them in the palace in order to take care of them.
Also present this time was Li Fei.
Concubine Li is no longer interested in being in the palace. She is dressed much more plainly. She doesn't wear any makeup. She is elegant and refined, but has a unique charm.
Now in front of the emperor, what Zhou Ruiyuan said was true. Empress Li's childhood sweetheart had been waiting for her outside the palace.
As for why he knew this, it all started when he went to Zhou Feng's house a few days ago.
The Fang family and the Zhou family have always had business contacts.
Recently, Mr. Liang was making noises about leaving home. The second master of the Fang family was upset, so he told Zhou Feng about this.
Zhou Feng said a few words casually and gave some advice to the second master of the Fang family. He then released Mr. Liang from the house.
Mr. Liang was a poor scholar. Three generations of his family had only been awarded the title of Scholar, and he himself failed three times.
When she was young, because her father was a private school teacher, she had already known each other when Concubine Li got lost at home. When Aunt Zhou took Li Fei in, she also invited the private school teacher home.
The two studied together, and one classmate painted. Later, Li Fei returned to the Tang Mansion, and the two gradually separated.
Seeing that Concubine Li was born into a wealthy family, Mr. Liang did not dare to ask for marriage rashly. He thought that after winning the top prize in high school, he would come to propose marriage openly.
Unfortunately, he missed three times in a row.
Later, when Concubine Li entered the palace, he was heartbroken and was forced by the second master of the Fang family to become his son-in-law.
The Fang family girl was still a silly girl, so Mr. Liang worked as a slave in the house for two years, taking care of this silly girl.
Mr. Liang never regarded this silly girl as his wife. He only wanted to find another opportunity to leave the house and continue to take part in the scientific examination.
Mr. Fang was so annoyed by him that after hearing Zhou Feng's words and releasing Mr. Liang from the house, everything suddenly became clear.
In fact, the silly girl in the family has long been secretly in love with the servant in the mansion.
This can be regarded as a good thing he did.
When Zhou Ruiyuan came to Zhou Feng's house, Mr. Fang came to express his thanks.
He was paranoid for a while and asked a few questions before he learned about it.
Tonight's banquet, Du Wanchun specially invited Mr. Liang to the palace.
Although Mr. Liang failed the scientific examination three times, he was indeed a talented person. Zhou Ruiyuan directly made an exception and gave him a small official position.
However, Mr. Liang seems to be obsessed with the scientific examination. Even if he gets an official position, he will continue to participate in this year's scientific examination, saying that he wants to fulfill his original promise.
When Concubine Li was sitting down, she looked up and saw Mr. Liang sitting in the distance.
Her beautiful eyes were in a trance, and she thought she had seen it wrong.
Du Wanchun sat next to her and smiled softly: "Empress Li, in addition to General Lu and his family, please invite Mr. Liang to take a seat today."
When Concubine Li heard the words Mr. Liang, she immediately came back to her senses and quickly looked at Du Wanchun, "Wanchun, is this?"
Du Wanchun raised his eyes to look at Mr. Liang and said slowly: "Ruiyuan said that the empress can leave the palace whenever she wants. Whether she is Mrs. Liang or the concubine, he will agree."
Concubine Li's body trembled slightly, she was very grateful, her nose was sore, "Wan Chun...Thank you and Your Highness..."
Du Wanchun withdrew his eyes and added a glass of wine to Concubine Li, "If it weren't for mother, you wouldn't have entered the palace. We should be the ones thanking you all along."
Li Fei took the wine glass and said sadly, "I didn't do anything..."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "You have done enough."
Li Fei took a sip of wine, and her cheeks turned red instantly. Du Wanchun looked at her blankly, and suddenly realized that after knowing her for so long, this was the first time he saw her eyes shining brightly, full of energy, as if she suddenly came to life in a pair of eyes.
During the banquet, Mr. Liang kept his head lowered as a courtesy. His eyes never fell on Concubine Li, but his panicked movements already represented his heart.
He picked up the wine glass to drink, but spilled it. He picked up the grapes to eat, but dropped them to the ground. He picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but the chopsticks slipped and the vegetables spilled.
He was about to wipe his face with a handkerchief, but he knocked over the bowl on the table.
It's like when I was alone with my loved one for the first time as a teenager, I was so nervous that my heart was pounding and I was at a loss.
It made everyone snicker.
Even Li Fei, who usually didn't like to smile, smiled so hard that her eyebrows were crooked, revealing a small dimple on one side.
