After having a breakfast in Fuzhong, I rested for a while.
In the middle of the hour, a carriage finally drove out of the Princess Mansion, followed by a escort.
In the carriage, Qi Yang leaned on Lu Qipei, but lifted the curtain of the car with his hand, and looked at the scenery outside the car leisurely. Watching the carriage gradually travel from the streets and alleys where the rich and powerful to the bustling city, the noisy human voices are introduced into the car, full of life.
After watching it for a while, Qi Yang felt bored again. After putting down the curtain, he turned to look at Lu Qipei, and suddenly asked, "What is the name of that child? What are your plans for her?"
Lu Qipei pursed his lips and replied, "Her name is Lu Sheng." After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and said, "Let's keep it for now."
Lu Sheng was less than three years old this year, and it was Lu Qicheng's posthumous son arranged by Qi Bo. It's a pity that she was born a girl, just like Lu Qipei who was not valued back then, this child has lost most of its value in Qi Bo's eyes. In the past three years, her existence was almost silent, and even Lu Qipei almost forgot that this child existed.
Until a month ago, Lu Sheng's biological mother died of illness, and Qi Bo didn't know what to think, so he sent the child to the princess' residence. At that time, it caused a lot of trouble. Because Lu Sheng was too similar to her, people always thought that this child was Lu Qipei's illegitimate child.
Hearing this, Qi Yang raised a strand of Lu Qipei's loose hair with his fingertips, and played with his fingertips for a moment, but hesitantly appeared on his face: "Is it really just raised like this? I think that child is somewhat close to you. "
Lu Sheng has not received attention since she was born, including her biological mother, who had high expectations for her, and was very indifferent to her when she knew that she had given birth to a daughter. The low-ranking maid probably didn't know that if she gave birth to a boy, she probably wouldn't have survived the day of delivery. Because she didn't know, she resented Lu Sheng, who had shattered her dream, and almost ignored her for the past two years.
Most of the children who grow up under such circumstances are lack of love. And when she found out that she and Lu Qipei were born quite similar, she naturally became close to her in her heart, so it was not the first time that she was secretly avoiding her like this today.
Lu Qipei was a little helpless when he thought of the child. She is naturally soft-hearted, and it will not change no matter how long it has passed. Naturally, she can't be hard-hearted for such a young child. It's just that Lu Sheng's life experience made her care. After all, Lu Qicheng's death was planned by her. Let's take a step back and say that the two of them were also mortal enemies in the previous life, and they were no longer close siblings.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qipei asked Qi Yang again, "Don't you mind Lu Sheng's life experience?"
Qi Yang lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and replied, "I don't like her father. But she was born so similar to you, I would soften my heart just looking at her."
Everyone in the Lu family seems to look alike, Lu Qipei and Lu Qicheng are like this, and Lu Sheng is the same now. Especially Lu Sheng is still a girl, a little soft and soft. Every time I see them, they look so timid and looking forward to it, people can't help but soften their hearts. And looking at the little Lu Sheng, it also reminded Qi Yang of what Lu Qipei looked like when he was young, and he always had the urge to watch her grow up.
Just after saying this, Qi Yang frowned again and said, "Only her background is really a problem. Qi Bo should know what happened back then, but now he sends Lu Sheng to you to teach you, you say he What's on your mind?"
Lu Qipei hugged Qi Yang halfway, and rubbed his fingertips lightly on her raised eyebrows: "It doesn't matter what he's thinking, it's up to you and I to think about it. But don't worry, you and I will be slow on this matter. Think slowly."
Lu Sheng is only two or three years old now, even if Qi Bo wants to do something with her hand, at least it will take ten years. As for what will happen ten years later, Lu Qipei does not know, but she knows that she and Qi Yang will not endure dormancy until then.
When all the dust settles, all problems will not be problems.
Both of them were confident about it, so they put an end to the problem. After some gossip, the carriage drove out of the capital unknowingly, and gradually headed towards the agreed upon Qingshui River.
In late spring in March, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the Qingshui River is already full of greenery and flowers.
The carriage came, and from a distance, the peach blossom forest was in full bloom again. In the meantime, the teenagers laughed and the girls walked through, rendering the picture so lively.
Qi Yang looked at this peach blossom forest and still liked it so much, he lifted the curtain of the car to see it from a distance. It wasn't until the carriage approached that he saw the palace attendants waiting outside the Taolin, and then he lowered the curtain of the carriage and retracted his gaze, making a dignified appearance.
When the kings and princesses travel, they will not mix with others, so they set up a separate place and are separated by guards.
Qi Yang didn't come too early. When he arrived at the Qingshui River, most of the kings and princesses had already arrived.
Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest among the people today. She is also the fourth prince and a mother compatriot who has now been named King Liang. Today's gathering is led by her. When she saw Qi Yang and the concubine arrived, she took the initiative to greet them, then turned her eyes on the two, and said with a smile: "The imperial sister and the concubine really love each other, and they are in one place wherever they go."
Qi Yang, however, held Lu Qipei's hand without hesitation. Hearing this, he also smiled and said, "Sister Huang is laughing. Isn't the name of the concubine written on the invitation today? I should bring her here, too."
Of course, the name of the concubine was written on the invitation, but there were not many princesses who really brought the concubine to the party. They all got along well with the concubine, so they thought of bringing people on such an occasion. As for Qi Yang and the concubine, they have been in the name of love for three years. It was only a month ago that a child suddenly appeared in the house, and he was very similar to the concubine. It was rumored that it was the illegitimate son of the concubine.
Everyone knows that Princess Qiyang and her concubine have been married for three years. Most of the men are inherited, and under such circumstances, it seems self-evident that such a child is accepted into the palace.
And the princess, Tian Huang, is proud of herself. Xiang Cheng and the others heard the news and thought the two would break up. This time, there were a lot more princesses than usual with their consorts to the party, just to watch Qi Yang's jokes.
But when these two people appear, their behavior and words, their eyes are tied, how can there be any discord
Xiangcheng was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, Xiao Yinyin said a few words to Qi Yang, and then greeted her and the concubine to take a seat at the banquet. Only Qi Yang glanced at the scattered people, but he was not interested, so he said: "The people are not here yet, I and the concubine will go to the side to take a look first."
This is nothing, today's trip was originally for outing, and there are many people who are not at the table at this time. Of course, Xiangcheng didn't say anything. She turned her head and saw that Qi Yang and her concubine entered the peach blossom forest. As soon as the two left, she was surrounded by a few imperial sisters, because of that gossip—Qi Yang was favored. , has attracted a lot of jealousy.
Not to mention the fact that the group of princesses behind them do not believe that the two are in love as before, they just think they are acting. Qi Yang led Lu Qipei into the peach blossom forest, but he was in a good mood. He remembered what Lu Qipei had said about peach blossom brewing earlier, and also asked the servants he followed to collect some peach blossoms.
The two of them walked in the peach blossom forest, and the sun shone through the branches overhead, slanting down, and was divided into mottled light and shadow.
Qi Yang went to see Lu Qipei from time to time, and he was amazed every time he saw her approaching the sun and walking on the peach blossoms. And every time she came to this peach blossom forest, she seemed to like her more: "A Pei is still so good-looking."
Every year Qi Yang would boast like this, and Lu Qipei was used to it, but she still curled her lips inexplicably: "His Royal Highness says this every year. But day after day, year after year, when I get old, Your Highness Will you not like me anymore?"
Qi Yang laughed when he heard the words, and whispered in her ear: "Why, is the concubine afraid that I will find other little girls in the future?"
Lu Qipei raised his eyebrows, only looking at Qi Yang without saying a word, his usual gentle eyes seemed to be threatening.
Qi Yang leaned to her cheek and kissed her again, and promised with a chuckle: "My concubine is the best looking, and no one else can match it. Besides, when you get old, I will be old too, isn't it good to have a white head? ?"
It's a long way to think, but such expectations can make people's hearts feel hot.
Lu Qipei's eyebrows softened again, she led Qi Yang to continue walking, and the words came softly: "It's good."
The two wandered freely in the peach blossom forest, met many people, and were met by many people. After walking for a while, Qi Yang reached out and took out a falling peach blossom from Lu Qipei's hair. She collected the flowers, put them in a bag, and took them with her.
Lu Qipei felt this scene familiar, and finally asked, "What's the use of collecting these peach blossoms every year?"
Qi Yang didn't answer her, and smiled Yingying holding her to continue walking forward - she would go to this peach forest with Lu Qipei every year when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and then every year she would take a fallen peach blossom from her to collect. So far, she has only collected four peach blossoms, and when her kit is full, their life will be almost complete.
She didn't want to tell others about this kind of careful thinking, she just wanted to wait until one day when the hair of the two of them was dyed frost white, and then show it to Lu Qipei.
After collecting the peach blossoms of this year, and walking in the forest for a while, it is not too early. The people who wanted to come to the party should be all together by now. Qi Yang pulled Lu Qipei and was about to return, but he only took two steps, and suddenly stopped again.
Lu Qipei was puzzled and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Qi Yang raised his chin slightly, signaling Lu Qipei to look forward. Lu Qipei immediately followed her instructions and looked up, but under a peach blossom tree in the distance, two young girls were holding hands, their heads beside their heads, and they were talking intimately.
It's nothing, the girl's family gets along so closely, and there are even actions that are closer than this.
Lu Qipei didn't notice any difference. Just when I was about to ask Qi Yang if he knew the two of them, he saw that one of the two girls in the distance suddenly pressed the other on the peach tree and kissed...
After the surprise, Lu Qipei hurriedly avoided his eyes, and even subconsciously glanced around vigilantly - fortunately, this place is remote, there are no tourists around, and no one else is watching this scene.
Seeing her like this, Qi Yang couldn't help laughing softly, pulling the person away: "Let's go, go back."
