Qi Yang came to look for Lu Qipei today, of course, not only to see her, but also to have something to say to her.
"The marriage has been decided, you and I may not meet each other for a while." Qi Yang squeezed Lu Qipei's hand and said rather melancholy.
Lu Qipei was slightly startled when he heard the words, but immediately reacted - unmarried couples are not allowed to see each other after discussing their relatives, this has always been the rule. Looking back on the previous life, it was a long time since the two of them were married, but at that time she was full of worries, wondering why Lu Qicheng hadn't come back, so she hoped that the marriage would be later, lest she could not hide it and expose it. identity.
Thinking about it now, I really feel that it was ridiculous at that time, and some sadness struck me inexplicably.
In the previous life, Qi Yang treated her sincerely, but she dragged her into the quagmire. Even before she was killed by poison, she didn't realize what it meant to Qi Yang that Lu Qicheng replaced her!
For a moment, Lu Qipei's thoughts drifted away, and his eyes on Qi Yang became complicated.
Qi Yang didn't expect her to react like this, he raised his hand and shook it in front of her: "What are you thinking, why are you looking at me like this?"
Lu Qipei suddenly reached out and hugged her, burying his head around her neck. The excess emotions were temporarily restrained, and he rubbed lightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time after thinking about how hard this day must be."
Qi Yang had seen Lu Qipei look more clingy and softer, but that was after being drunk. Now that I suddenly see her taking the initiative, I am so close to her when I am sober, and it is false to say that she is not moved.
She hugged her back, and her heart that was still a little empty was suddenly filled, and she also said a promise that should not have been given: "Don't do this, I can't bear you, it's a big deal, I will sneak out of the palace. Yes."
Preparing for the wedding and not a matter of three or two days, the process of preparing for the six rituals can not be said to take several months. This is still fast. After some people get engaged, it takes a year or two to bring the bride back home. Of course, it will not be easy to marry a princess.
But fortunately, the royal family was so powerful that the preparation of the six rituals hardly had to worry about the two of them.
After hearing Qi Yang's promise, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing, and most of the original melancholy dissipated in an instant, she raised her head and looked at Qi Yang, her lips curved and her eyes clear: "Your Highness is really... Let Your Majesty know, I'm afraid it's even more disliked by me."
The two young people realized the emperor's thoughts later, and while they couldn't laugh or cry, there were many moving expressions in their hearts - the emperor is not only a daughter of Qi Yang, but his children have been scattered and favored long ago, but Qi Yang is undoubtedly the most favored among them. that one. The prince, including the prince, may have developed a rift with the emperor due to various court affairs, and only Qi Yang remained in the emperor's heart as always.
The emperor was simply marrying his daughter, so he was particularly picky and dissatisfied with his son-in-law.
Lu Qipei was still moved, Qi Yang could only think more than Lu Qipei these days. It's just that there are all kinds of inside stories, which are not enough for outsiders. Qi Yang didn't plan to say to Lu Qipei in this life: "You're afraid that your father will be unhappy, so you don't want me to come out and meet you?"
The little princess asked indifferently, but Lu Qipei suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and her strong desire to survive made her hurriedly deny it: "Of course not, I'm just talking, how can your Highness be important if your Majesty is happy?!"
Hearing this, Qi Yang touched Lu Qipei's forehead with satisfaction, only to feel that the concubine in this life is much more interesting than in the previous life.
But that being said, where is the need to really offend the emperor? After hearing the satisfactory answer, Qi Yang also smiled and said, "Okay, I'm joking and amusing you. My father hasn't grounded me, so why is it so troublesome?"
Lu Qipei looked at her, obediently not speaking.
Seeing her cute and soft appearance, Qi Yang felt itchy, and wanted to pull someone over and kiss her. Only now that the two are not married, these overstepping actions cannot be done for the time being—for a moment, Her Royal Highness wanted to replace the tea on the case with wine, and watch her get drunk again. But in the end, she just thought about it, and this dangerous thought was quickly taken back by her.
There are some things in my mind, but I still pretend to be serious and serious: "I said before that the envoys of Rongguo would come to Beijing, and now the date has been set, and it will be half a month later. There will be a palace banquet at that time. You and I can see you too."
In fact, the princess did not attend the palace banquet when she received the foreign envoy, but Qi Yang was inexplicably concerned about the sudden arrival of the envoy of the Rong Kingdom, so he thought that the Prince of the Central Committee would bring her with him. And Lu Qipei is different. Of course, she is not qualified to attend the palace banquet from the sixth-rank official position, but her status as the quasi-consort makes her qualified to step into the Xuande Hall. And if there is no accident, the will of adding an official position should be released soon.
After hearing this, Lu Qipei nodded, but his thoughts wandered, and he recalled his previous life - no marriage, no envoys, the establishment of Rongguo was only spread in Beijing for a while, and then the two countries should fight or fight, and General Ji did not guard the border. disappoint others.
It's just one more time, how come there are so many variables
We made an appointment to see you at the palace banquet, but it will be half a month later. How can we wait for the two who are in love
Qi Yang had already left the palace today, so he didn't plan to go back immediately. Of course, Lu Qipei would be more happy to be with her. So the two hit it off, not to talk about anything else, but to cherish today first.
The Hanlin Academy had passed the time of application, and sooner or later, the two of them went to the Princess Mansion. This mansion has been renovated for several months, and now it is basically completed. Only a few craftsmen are still in it, doing some transplants. Little things in flower and grass maintenance details.
There are regulations in the Yuci Mansion, so even if there is a limit to the changes in the area. The two of them have been here more than once, and now the road to the princess' mansion is also familiar, but every time they come here in the past, they feel different from today.
Lu Qipei, who was always reserved in the past, was not polite this time. He entered the house after passing through the main courtyard, and he also changed a little about the furnishings in the house.
Qi Yang smiled when he saw it, and ignoring the gazes of others, he stepped forward and held her hand: "A Pei finally considers this place his home?"
Lu Qipei felt a little embarrassed. It was the first time that she came to this residence with the princess. She really never thought that this place would become her home again one day. And to this day, suddenly pointing the country, it is also possible that the name has not been determined.
However, Qi Yang loved her shy appearance so much that if there were no other people around, he would have to lift her chin and put a kiss on the corner of her lips.
It's a pity that there are too many servants to follow, so this can't be done, so I regretfully withdraw my mind and instead instruct the servants to follow Lu Qipei's arrangement - in fact, she doesn't need to tell her specifically, most of the people who work in this mansion now know the two of them. relationship. Of course you have to listen to what the prospective concubine has to say, especially if the young couple seem to be so affectionate, the princess will definitely be willing to obey.
The two walked around the new mansion, and when they left, Qi Yang felt a little melancholy: "This mansion is all set up, but unfortunately it will take several months to move in."
The princess of Liang Guo always left the palace only after she got married, so the meaning of Qi Yang's words was self-evident.
Lu Qipei pursed his lips in a funny way, remembering that he had never seen the little princess in such a hurry in his previous life. In this life, for some reason, Her Royal Highness said that she wanted her to be the concubine the first day she saw her, and now she can't wait.
Seeing her smile, Qi Yang knew what she was thinking, and squeezed her hand in embarrassment, Lu Qipei stopped smiling. But she didn't smile anymore, and Qi Yang felt a pity again, especially thinking that she wouldn't be able to see her smile for half a month, so he came up to tease him again.
The time passed quickly between the two of them talking and laughing. In the blink of an eye, the sunset was high in the sky, and it was already dinner time.
Only this time, Qi Yang did not take Lu Qipei back to the other courtyard. The two rarely walked in the market, taking care of themselves and being close, and no longer had to worry about the eyes of others. In the end, I chose Tao Ranju for dinner. When the window of the box was opened, I could see the waves on the lake outside.
Lu Qipei said to Qi Yang, "The scenery here is not bad, it's better for His Highness to come out and take a look."
Tao Ranju can become the No. 1 restaurant in the capital. Of course, it is not only good for the scenery, but also for the food and drinks. Only the two of them planned to cherish the current situation, so they didn't ask for wine, and they were very satisfied with their meal.
After dinner was over, it was getting late again, and it was closer to the time when the palace gate was released.
The two of them were reluctant to part when they came out of Tao Ranju. Lu Qipei said, "I'll take you back."
Qi Yang was helpless, and now the emperor is staring at her tightly, it is not good to stay outside the palace for excuses. Just looking at the sky, I felt that there was still plenty of time, so I said: "Let's go for a while, and then later, you will take me back to the palace gate."
Lu Qipei naturally agreed. The two have not yet parted, and they have some lovesickness.
In the evening, when it was time to go home, most of the people on the street were in a hurry. Lu Qipei and Qi Yang walked between them, but they seemed a little bit different. Qi Yang even bought two concentric knots from a roadside vendor and hung one on Lu Qipei's waist.
The money was paid by Lu Qipei. Her Royal Highness is always surrounded by servants, but she has no habit of going out with money. It was only when she was with Lu Qipei that even Zhi Ting, who was closest to her, disliked being an eyesore, and wished that she and Lu Qipei were the only people in the world.
Lu Qipei paid the money, touched the concentric knot hanging around his waist and turned his head. He smiled and was about to say something to Qi Yang, but suddenly he felt an intimidating gaze on him. People's defenses also improved a lot, so after she noticed that someone was staring at her, she immediately looked back.
But at the corner of the street, a young boy was looking at her from a distance. Seeing her suddenly turning back, she didn't panic. Instead, she stared at her a few more times, as if to confirm something, and then turned and left.
When Qi Yang followed her line of sight, he could only see a back, and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with that person?"
Lu Qipei retracted his gaze and shook his head, but there was some doubt in his eyes: "It's okay, it's just that the little boy looks familiar."
The person had already left, so Qi Yang didn't ask any further questions, but what Lu Qipei didn't explain was that the young man looked familiar, with a high nose and deep eyes, but his eyebrows were three or five similar to her and Lu Qicheng.
