The seventy-eighth bowl of soup (five)
The more the emperor looked at Lu Yuanbai, the more pleasing to his eyes. He didn't want to say that he regretted marrying his younger sister too early. Looking at it now, there are a lot of outstanding men in the world. The son-in-law is indeed both talented and beautiful, but It's not unparalleled in the world, at least he lost to this little eunuch in comparison. only…
Lu Yuanbai noticed that the emperor's eyes lingered on the area below his waist and above his knees for a long time, his face remained unchanged, and he took it indifferently, even if the emperor sighed sadly, he pretended he didn't hear anything. Qing Huan noticed that the emperor's eyes were dishonest, so she patted him: "I'll let you take a look when I enter the palace this time, and I won't come again until the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have nothing to do, don't come to the princess mansion to harass me."
"Then how?!" The emperor immediately frowned, "Then what do I want you to do?!"
"Anyway, I'll leave the words here." Qing Huan patted her skirt, and Lu Yuanbai immediately stretched out her hand to let her take it, and then helped her up, "Brother Huang cares about the concubines in your harem if you're fine, don't Always come to see me, I'm also very busy." The reason why she doesn't like living in the palace is because of the group of concubines who are fat, swallows, and thin, they come to her place to hang around when they have nothing to do, or they just use it to visit the sick. To dawdle in name only, and to have a "chance encounter" with the emperor's brother, really annoys the princess.
The emperor looked at her eagerly: "Can I visit you once in half a month?"
"One month."
He bargained pitifully: "It's been too long, just half a month, my good sister, I'm so worried that I won't see your emperor brother for a month." He was not around when his father and mother died, and he was really afraid that one day his sister She is no longer there, so these years he sent people to search for a miracle doctor in all parts of the world, just hoping to cure her illness. If she doesn't recover, how can he feel at ease.
"Brother Huang." Qing Huan sighed, "Come if you want, but don't always have such a big fight every time you come, I get a headache when I see it."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." The emperor looked at her slightly pale face, feeling infinitely pity and distressed in his heart, "Yuan Bai must take good care of the princess, if the princess feels unwell, I want your head."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured." Lu Yuanbai bowed slightly. This kind of etiquette he made was obviously low, but it always exuded a rebellious and noble atmosphere. So the son-in-law got angry when he saw him saluting himself, because he didn't feel respected or feared at all. The emperor didn't feel annoyed, but felt that the little eunuch was very special. Ordinary people would tremble when seeing the emperor's calves, but he looked calm from the beginning to the end, as if he was not afraid of him or imperial power at all. He stayed with the princess, just for the princess.
If it wasn't for the princess, maybe he wouldn't even bother to give a courtesy
Qing Huan said goodbye to the emperor, but he was still not satisfied, he insisted on sending her to the soft sedan chair, and watched her leave the palace gate before giving up. Qing Huan lifted the sedan chair curtain and smiled back, the emperor immediately waved to her happily, and she couldn't help laughing, the emperor's brother loves her like a treasure, but she doesn't know when this life will be. Heaven will take it away. If he meets the emperor every day, it is inevitable that he will be heartbroken when parting. Qing Huan still remembers the tears that flowed from her usually smiling eyes of her elder brother when her father passed away, which made her heart ache.
It would be better to see each other less, so that it will be easier when we part. Her life, one more day to live, is a gift. If you die, you don't know the pain, and you are free, but the living will suffer for a lifetime. She is the only remaining relative of the emperor's brother in this world. The other brothers and sisters are not from the same mother after all, so how can they compare with her.
"Princess, don't be sad, the princess will live a long life."
She heard Lu Yuanbai's comforting words in a low voice, and said with a smile: "Across the sedan chair, you can also know what I think."
Lu Yuanbai followed the sedan chair, and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "It's only natural, the slave always puts the princess first."
She smiled deeper: "Actually, it's nothing. I know my physical condition best. I just don't want to make Brother Huang too sad. If I go in the future, you don't have to be too sad."
Lu Yuanbai did not answer the call, because only he knew that if she was gone, he would not live alone. His status is low, and he is not qualified to be with her. After death, he will also be the ghost of her grave, even if his soul is gone, he must guard the remains.
Back at the Princess Mansion, she was stopped by someone as soon as she entered the door. Qing Huan frowned when she heard the voice outside, "What's going on."
"Returning to the princess, they are the parents of the son-in-law. At this moment, they are kneeling in front of the sedan chair, begging the princess to summon them."
That being said, Lu Yuanbai's expression was very cold. Is it the way to ask the princess to summon him? Just stop here and let the princess see them. He hated the son-in-law, so naturally he did not pretend to be rude to the family of the son-in-law, with a cold face: "The princess is not feeling well, she wants to go back to rest, if you dare to block the way again, don't blame me for being rude."
Everyone knows that Eunuch Lu is a celebrity by the princess's side now, and he was bestowed by the emperor, so he must not offend him, but the parents of the son-in-law don't have this concern. The temper of the family. It is probably because I have read too much stereotyped essays, and my body is full of corruption. Thoughts are still small, and I feel that even if she is a golden branch and a jade leaf, she is still their daughter-in-law when she marries into their family, and she can do whatever she wants.
Qing Huan still remembers that on the morning of the second day after she got married, she was a little tired because of getting married and got up late in the morning. The woman thought that she was afraid, and asked her to make up her mind in the morning and evening in the future, and asked her to drop the royal airs and regard herself as the bride of their family.
The princess wanted to laugh at that time, if it was like this when she got married, why didn't she be a high-ranking princess for the rest of her life.
Without her taking action, the guards sent by the emperor's brother gave them a good lesson, and this woman learned to behave a little bit, and did not dare to provoke her again. Every time she sees her kneeling down, she is always unwilling to do so. In fact, if she has a bit of tolerance, Qing Huan doesn't care if the ceremony is good or not, but this woman insists on judging people with her nose and paying attention to the nobility of this family If you are arrogant, then she must ask her to bow down.
What kind of nobility, what kind of pride, what kind of scholarly family, it is the royal family who gave face, otherwise it is just poor.
This is the state of the son-in-law's family. She didn't let the emperor know about it. She really didn't want to make any more troubles, and she didn't want to cause the emperor any trouble, and she didn't want the emperor to feel ashamed of her. It's just that it brought her perception of the son-in-law to the bottom, Qing Huan thought, as long as the two sides are in peace, nothing else matters, but the son-in-law is safe, and the son-in-law's family is not.
"What's the noise?"
As soon as Lu Yuan spoke in the vernacular, the princess' voice came from the sedan chair, and he leaned back to the sedan chair, "Reporting to the princess, it's the Qi family, and I want to see the princess."
"Oh?" She seemed very puzzled, "Help me down."
Even though I have seen the princess many times, every time I see her, I will be overwhelmed by her grace and demeanor. This is a real golden branch and jade leaf, which cannot be compared with the daughter of an ordinary family. It is indeed a great gift from the Qi family to honor the princess, but they are always not satisfied.
Because entering the palace today, Qing Huan dressed up more grandly than usual, fearing that she might worry the emperor if she looked bad, so she even sipped her lips. The red lips made her skin look like snow. Qing Huan looked at the Qi family kneeling on the ground and found that they were basically all in order. The Qi family, the son-in-law, the son-in-law's two brothers and two sisters were all kneeling, except for the one who was taken into Dali Temple, the Qi family was all there. She glanced at the son-in-law, "What is the son-in-law doing kneeling?"
The son-in-law felt even more ashamed, he was ashamed of himself when facing Qing Huan, and now he is pleading for his brother regardless of right and wrong, I am afraid that the princess will look down on him even more. He prostrated himself on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I beg the princess to be lenient and spare my second brother's life!"
He was originally an ambitious person, but after becoming a princess, he missed his official career, and gradually gave up on himself. Qing Huan looked at him, feeling a little disappointed. In the past, she felt that even if the son-in-law could not be an official, he could become a great Confucian with his talents. If he really has the ability to govern the country, how can the emperor not use him? After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. It's a pity that he didn't pass this test. After all, he was young and vigorous, and he didn't have enough precipitation. Compared with the much younger Yuan Bai, it is really far behind.
Lu Yuanbai held Qing Huan's hand, her delicate and soft fingers were placed in his palm, making his heart beat non-stop. He couldn't see other people at all, he only knew how to be the most vicious dog, stand in front of her, and clear all obstacles for her.
"What did the son-in-law say? The princess has already explained it clearly. Why should the son-in-law make things difficult for the princess? Besides, the servant followed the princess back from the palace. The emperor has his own opinion on this matter."
so bad. This was the first thought that came to Shang Qinghuan's mind. This child actually pushed the matter to the emperor's brother. This will not only prevent her from being difficult, but also make it difficult for the son-in-law's family to entangle her. It's a scam, and it should be fine to be cheated once this time.
Just now they didn't mention this matter at all in the palace. After all, in the eyes of their brothers and sisters, it is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. What the princess didn't expect was that the son-in-law's family was so stubborn that they came here.
Seeing the embarrassment on the son-in-law's face, she inevitably softened her heart: "Okay, get up, I don't like to see you kneeling."
The Qi family got up one after another, and the two Miss Qi looked at Qing Huan enviously. It was a matter of honor for their elder brother to marry the princess. It's a pity that they are not lucky enough to live in the princess mansion. Only when they see the princess once in a while can they really understand what the meaning of golden branches and jade leaves is.
