"Rou'er, don't walk around in front of Ai's family, Ai's family will also become upset after seeing it." In the Chuhua Palace, a court lady kneaded the empress dowager's shoulders.
The Empress Dowager is in a very good mood these few days. Since that day, after taking the bottle of medicine that Lie Rou sent, the Empress Dowager feels that her complexion is getting better day by day.
The appearance of her face in the Qionghua Garden just now also made her win back her old face. Especially after she heard about the unknown fire in Youtan Palace, the Queen Mother felt even more at ease when she thought of the disheveled appearance of the toffee.
The Empress Dowager didn't have much affection for Yue Jinghua, she just cared about Feng Wanwan's kindness back then, and secretly took care of the mother and daughter of the Lie family.
As for Fa Xiaoyi's marriage, she really wanted to facilitate it, not only to make Yue Jinghua a princess, but also to prevent Fa Xiaoyi from taking the opportunity to climb into other forces.
It's just those thoughts of the queen mother and the emperor, how can Lie Rou, who is pure in heart, know clearly.
"Hua'er and Chen'er have not heard from each other. Rou'er wants to go out and have a look." After being sent back by Fa Xiaoyi, Lie Rou has no news of the pair of children. Repelled, but she was still restless.
"Don't be so busy, the palace is so big, you are a woman, you will only add to the trouble. Aijia asked you something, Rou'er, that bastard Yue Nian has been missing for many years, do you have a plan?" Queen Mother He held Lierou kindly and asked.
"Plan? Why did the mother-in-law suddenly ask about this?" Lierou was surprised.
"Rou'er, the Ai family is from here. If your sons and daughters live up to you, you will still enjoy happiness in the future. But Minzhi is still guarding the Longzhan Kingdom, and your youngest son is not caring. As for Jinghua, he will marry sooner or later." I went out. The two uncles in your family are not big-hearted people. A woman’s appearance is the least valuable thing in the world. While you are still young and beautiful, you should also plan for yourself. Otherwise, your future After the twins get married, what should you do?" The queen mother said meaningfully, she still has a bit of pity for Lierou, her goddaughter.
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about, me. No matter what the outside world says, I always believe that Yue Nian will not leave us behind, he is still alive, he must be alive, and he will definitely come back to find me and the children," Lierou looked excited.
Yue Nian, this curse-like name, has always been Lierou's Nilin.
It's just that she never mentions Yue Nian easily in front of her children on weekdays, but whenever the night is quiet, Lie Rou always thinks of the man who left without saying goodbye.
"Silly boy, you are still deceiving yourself. If he came back, why didn't he send you a letter? If he had feelings for you, why didn't he leave without saying goodbye. If a man's heart changes, everything will be changed." It's useless, listen to your mother's persuasion, if you meet your beloved, you can simply entrust your life to him," the queen mother said, and glanced outside the palace.
"The emperor is here--" After a long ending, Fa Xiaoyun, the king of the Shang Kingdom, walked in with a man dressed as a general.
Behind them are Yuechen and Hongling.
"Get up, the assassins from Youlian Palace have been repulsed by General Tianwei, and Young Master Yue has also been brought back. As for Miss Yue, she is visiting the Concubine Sha's Palace right now, Madam Yue doesn't need to worry too much," said just now. The words of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Yue fell into Fa Xiaoyun's ears verbatim.
Although Fa Xiaoyun and Fa Xiaoyi are brothers, they are not much alike in appearance. Fa Xiaoyi is handsome and elegant.
Although Fa Xiaoyun is a king, his appearance is only ordinary. It is no wonder that he bullied and insulted Fa Xiaoyi many times when he was young.
Fa Xiaoyun has a narrow face and a short middle, so he doesn't look very generous. Ever since Lierou's husband's family fell behind, he didn't pay much attention to Lierou, but today he began to persuade her, Lierou was flattered and thanked her.
Looking at Yuechen again, I saw that Xiao Zhengtai's lips were tightly pursed, her small face was tense, and Hong Ling was also a little embarrassed.
It was the middle-aged man who was only a few steps away from Lierou who made the master and servant of the Yue family so uncomfortable.
The empress dowager's bedroom belongs to the inner hall, except for royal men, ordinary male family members are not allowed to enter. Not to mention, the imperial palace is very important, and no knives are allowed to enter. This man is wearing armor, with a big knife pinned to his waist. On the handle is a ferocious lion's mouth, and there are six iron rings on the back of the knife.
I saw that when he was walking, his steps were calm, the six iron rings that were the size of bells were silent.
Even a woman like Lie Rou, who is ignorant of foreign affairs, guessed that this person's Xuan Gong cultivation must not be weak.
Lie Rou was wondering who this person was, the middle-aged man strode forward, and said to Lie Rou very flatteringly: "This must be the only daughter of Lie Changgong Lie, Miss Lie Roulie .”
The man's voice was booming, and the short beard on his face was obviously carefully repaired, and he looked quite decent, except for his eyes, which looked at Lierou from head to toe with a bit of probing.
Lierou was already married as a woman, but he kept calling her Miss Lie.
Such a title made Lie Rou very displeased.
"Rou'er," the queen mother glanced at Fa Xiaoyun, obviously aware of her son's intentions, "Ai's family came to introduce, this is General Tianwei Qin Gang, a well-known general in Shang Kingdom, He is also a master at the peak of Tianxuan."
Qin Gang's eyes were hot, and those eyes seemed to be glued to Lierou's face.
Lierou frowned unconsciously.
In the eyes of many people in the Shang Kingdom, Lie Rou is a fool who waited for several years for a playboy whose whereabouts were unknown.
Lierou never defends herself, but she usually pretends to be stupid, but it doesn't mean she is really stupid.
Fa Xiaoyun's sudden recommendation and the empress dowager asking her if she intends to remarry are all testing her, how could she not know.
Counting the eyes around her, they all focused on Lierou. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to speak. At the moment she feels helpless.
Seeing his wife suffering from the side, Hong Ling felt a little anxious, but at this moment, as a servant girl, she couldn't speak indiscriminately, so she could only feel anxious.
"My mother is already married. The general should call her Mrs. Yue when a woman is married to her husband." Yue Chen, who seldom uttered a word, suddenly spoke, his voice was not high and timid, but he uttered his words clearly. Let everyone in the field hear clearly.
"Chen'er," Lierou covered her mouth in surprise.
Hong Ling also had a look of disbelief, "Young Master!"
Qin Gang's complexion changed slightly, Fa Xiaoyun also showed embarrassment, the queen mother coughed lightly, and scolded with a smile: "This child, you are talking too fast at this time."
"Mother, I want to go back," Yuechen said softly, he tugged at Lierou's clothes, he is only a ten-year-old child, there is nothing wrong with being a little tempered.
Lie Rou let out a long breath, her heart was full, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel sore for a while.
It was the first time for this child to call her mother.
At this moment, her body that was already on the verge of falling suddenly gained strength. Lierou got up and saluted, her eyes were firm and her voice was earnest, "Since Lierou is married, she has changed her husband's surname. Mrs. Yue matches. Senior Qin's name, Lierou, was often mentioned by my father when she was still a child. My father said that among the Shang Guoxuan, the one who became famous the earliest was Senior Qin. Compared with you, he can only be regarded as A rising star. When I saw him today, the demeanor of the senior is really extraordinary."
At first hearing Lierou's words, she was very polite. But it fell on Qin Gang's ears, but he praised him openly and criticized him secretly, with a gun and a stick, and he was as ironic as he said.
If Yue Jinghua had been present, he would probably have put it bluntly, that is to say, you are enough to be my father, and you have the nerve to hit my mother, a pretty widow.
Qin Gang was a man who said he had no ability, but he had some real ability. He was a typical late bloomer, and until he was forty years old, he was only a lieutenant in the Shang Kingdom's army.
But just after he was forty years old, by chance, he got a copy of the mysterious formula of the Earth Profound Rank, Overlord's Saber Technique. After practicing this set of saber techniques, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, breaking through from Yuxuan to Dixuan.
Later, under the cultivation of the royal family of the Shang Kingdom, he was promoted all the way to Tianxuan.
Compared with the two great powers in the Eastern Continent, the Shang Kingdom did not have alchemy masters in charge, so Qin Gang was hired as the Heavenly Protector of the Shang Kingdom. .
The so-called keeping warm and thinking about lust, Qin Gang is also a martial idiot. In his early years, because of his unsatisfactory official career, he practiced Xuangong hard and delayed his marriage. When he became famous, his eyes were higher than the top. .
In terms of age, he is already seventy or eighty years old. It is only because of his cultivation that he maintains the appearance of a middle-aged man, and he even has the idea of being strong and soft.
The reason of the matter also originated from the night a few days ago, when Lierou entered the palace to offer alchemy, Qin Gang who entered the palace accidentally saw it.
That night, Lie Rou's beautiful and unparalleled appearance was caught by him at a glance, and he was really shocked.
Ever since, Qin Gang immediately inquired about Lie Rou's background, and heard that she was the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. After losing her husband for several years, and she only lived in Lie's Castle, he immediately discussed with Fa Xiaoyun about marrying Lie Rou. the meaning of.
Lie Rou's words now undoubtedly rejected Qin Gang's kindness in one gulp.
Seeing Lierou dragging Yuechen and Hongling out in a hurry, Qin Gang's face darkened.
Seeing this, the queen mother sighed softly, and said quietly: "Rou'er looks gentle, but in fact she is a strong tempered person. When she insisted on being with Yue Nian back then, no one could stop her. I'm afraid this matter will still happen." We will talk about it later, unless we have the exact news of Yue Nian's life and death, otherwise Rou'er will not compromise, "The Empress Dowager is well aware of Lie Rou's temper, if she really pushes her into a hurry, she will be forced to die.
Fa Xiaoyun was not in a hurry: "Mother, you said this wrongly. Back then, Lierou was the jewel in the palm of Liejiabao. She didn't want to. No one can do anything to get her. But it's different now. There are a pair of useless children under her knees. As the saying goes, if you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you or Qin Gang don't need to come forward for this matter. Let the two old men of Lie's family force it first .”
When Qin Gang heard this, his face became a little happy again, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty, I understand now."
