boudoir

Chapter 194
He Yuli didn't know what to say, Liuli suddenly transformed from a concubine who was going to be a dowry maid to the eldest daughter-in-law of Dingbei Palace, the official wife of General Zhen Guo, and she was also appointed by the Holy Majesty!Rao even if he dealt with cleverness on weekdays, he would not be able to face such a sudden change!
But he was in a daze right now, but he was ten or twenty years younger than the old man after all, he only lost his mind for a moment, and then calmed down again.Since Qi Yunhao wants to marry Liuli, he will become his son-in-law, and the father-in-law should not lose his status too much in front of the son-in-law.

So he said: "It turns out that there is such a happy event, so it seems that the two governments are more happy than happy. Why didn't the general say it earlier, if I knew that the general would come to give the New Year gift, I would have made preparations early and swept the house in the front yard." waiting?"

Who can't hear the meaning of blaming Qi Yunhao for breaking into the inner house for being rude?Li Xinghu stared at He Cunli with a straight face: "You abused my young mistress and nearly beat her to death. Our general hasn't asked you for an explanation yet, so you blame our general! What's the reason?"

These old and young masters of the He Mansion have been in Beijing for many years, and most of the people who come and go are literati. When have they seen a real military officer who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years? I can only hold it in my heart.How dare you put on the airs of an old man?

Mrs. He had to deal with it: "Little general, calm down! I don't mean to blame you at all! As for Jiu Yatou, it was just because she made a small mistake and she was punished lightly. How could she be beaten to death? This is Nothing at all." The old man was really sweating a little at this time, he had seen Liuli's appearance just now, but he didn't know that He Qianli could bear such a murderous hand.Qi Yunhao saw it with his own eyes, if he told this to His Majesty, it would not be impossible to give him an excuse to cure some crimes based on how much Qi's family is now favored.

Li Xingdao: "Since that's the case, why don't you go find a doctor for our young mistress?!"

Mrs. He was startled, and hurriedly said to He Cun, "Don't go and invite Dr. Wu!"

He Cistan immediately replied yes, and went out in disgrace.

After doing this, looking at Qi Yunhao, he was still sitting there in an unhurried manner, and it seemed that Li Xing's actions had nothing to do with him at all.It wasn't until the old man sat down again that he put the cup in his hand down again, and stood up with Fufuyi: "You three girls accidentally lost your manners to the emperor and empress that day, and instead blamed my fiancée, and even provoked me. Together, Crown Princess, are you trying to embarrass me, or are you looking down on her?"

The old man froze when he heard this.Qi Yunhao took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and said again: "Of course, since the family doesn't have the intention to treat the nine girls harshly, then forget it. Today's imperial decree has arrived, even if it's an engagement, three matchmakers and six hires will do it. Yes, before I come to marry her, if she makes any mistakes—”

Having said that, he stopped for a while, and walked out the door: "Li Xing, you just lead someone to demolish this house!"

Li Xing answered yes in a loud voice, and followed his footsteps while supporting his sword.

As all the guards at the gate left, the old man also sat down.It was already bright, but no one dared to extinguish the lanterns hanging under the eaves. They were shaking in the cold wind, like a restless heart in a person's chest.

General Zhen Guo personally brought the marriage decree to save Liuli, and of course it blew up everyone like a thunderbolt. No one thought that Qi Yunhao's vacant seat was for He Fu, who was almost taken out of the house as a dowry The concubine, let alone thought that he would come to the Changfang at the exact moment to save Liuli from danger.

Although from that day on Liuli lived back in the Yishou Garden of the main courtyard, and the old man personally ordered someone to take care of her daily life, but she also fell into a coma for five days because of her serious injuries. A new and higher chapter in the legend of the General's wife began, and she had no knowledge of it either.

According to what Qi Yunhao said, when the imperial decree arrives, it means an engagement. Within two days, the king of Dingbei sent a senior officer to discuss the details of the matchmaker with the old man and He Yuli. Standing in good order, since they even knew the ins and outs of the whole incident that day, and even calculated the arrival time just right, there is no guarantee that there will be no eyeliner in this mansion, so how dare the whole He family not try to persuade them to deal with it?Therefore, such a major event as Yuhua's marriage on the twelfth day of the first lunar month seems quite casual in comparison.

Qi Yunhao said those words to Liuli at the end, but Liuli didn't hear it, and after waking up, she saw that she returned to Yishou Garden, and saw Aunt Su and Rui'er beside her, thinking she was reborn again.When Rui'er wept with joy and told her that she had become the wife of the quasi-general, she opened her mouth and turned into a stone man.

But things happened so miraculously that she couldn't figure out why, and she couldn't help her to think about it. All in all, she changed from Mrs. Zhuang Shizi to Mrs. General overnight, and there was no way to change it—— Of course, she didn't want to change either.Although she doesn't know why Qi Yunhao married her, but with him as a big tree beside her, her goal of being easy to marry has been achieved.As a concubine who almost became a dowry maid again, if she had any dissatisfaction with this, it would be too hypocritical and ignorant.

When she took a month to accept all this and started to get out of bed, people in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing began to post invitations to her. Although she hadn't adjusted her mentality to participate, whoever For gatherings initiated by female relatives, she still never forgets to send a post to Yishou Garden, and she will always reply Zhang Xieci in person.

And everyone in the mansion, not only the Liang family, the Qi family, the Nie family had to smile a little bit when they saw her, even He Cunli had to greet her kindly when he met her.Liuli knew that they were all pretending, but so what, she couldn't make them stop pretending, and they couldn't stop pretending either.So Liuli also pretended to be extremely grateful, and still smiled at everyone.But Huanhua could tell that her smile had lost all warmth.

Sometimes she also wanted to laugh. For example, when Yuhua returned to Ning, she was surrounded by everyone laughing and holding her up, standing alone in the porch with raised eyebrows, even though she knew that this pride was actually only thanks to Qi Yunyuan's Momo. It's obvious, but it's still pissing her off.But she is not in a hurry to do anything to her, when she enters the Qifu in the future, she will have a lifetime of fighting with her, Liuli is not in a hurry.The first thing she needs to know is Qi Yunhao's motives.Only by understanding his motives for marrying her can she know whether she is really proud or fake.

When the spring was bright, Huanhua accompanied her into the garden for a walk.Ask her if she hates He Fu.Liuli shook her head, saying she didn't hate it.In fact, she really hated it, really wanted to hate it, but fate pushed her to this point again, and she really didn't have the energy to hate it.She needs a lot of energy to deal with the next thing. She knows that if Qi Yunhao didn't give her a title, she would really be able to sit back and relax as her general's wife.Therefore, it is hard to say how she feels about He Fu in her heart.

During her birthday in April, Du Rui came.

I haven't seen him for several months, his eye sockets have sunken a bit, and his plump face has also become sharp and thin.Looking at each other for a long time across the hallway through the second door, another horse and horse came in from outside, Liu Li twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to say "Hello Xiao Shizi" and left, but her throat seemed rusty and there was no sound.He Tingyu got out of the car, greeted the two of them separately, and let Du Rui into Yinsongyuan.

That's it, I haven't seen him since.Guo Xia didn't tell her about Du Rui, and it was hard for her to inquire about it. On second thought, what's the use of inquiring?After all, they are not even friends anymore.In the end, he gradually let go. When Huanhua got engaged to Lin Yushi's son Lin Weiran in July, he occasionally heard the news that the eldest princess was also planning to make an engagement for him. A glazed chess piece in his hand almost fell off. It's not that he didn't really care about him.

I haven't seen Qi Yunhao since then.

Although both parties who have engaged in marriage must avoid suspicion, but for a person like him who can directly bring people into other people's houses, is it really that important to avoid this suspicion?Liuli knew that he hadn't been to the mansion after that, but that Li Xing, the valet beside him, came a few times and occasionally brought some news, so Liuli knew that Your Excellency the General is now in charge of a commander in the battalion, and he still has a little bit of trouble every day. things to do.

Of course Liuli didn't want to see him, but she was puzzled now that he didn't come after her, why bother to make such a big show?As a result, when people in the capital mention Miss He Jiu, the conservative people can't help shaking their heads, thinking that Miss Jiu who was born as a concubine is not a good candidate to be a good wife and mother because she is so hooked.

Of course, these market discussions are actually not important, what is important is how to live in the future.But if you really want to go through the door, the outside discussion also represents reputation. It’s okay for a daughter-in-law who doesn’t hold a post and is not a son-in-law to be slightly inappropriate. Anyway, they are military officers, and they won’t be too harsh outside, but she is Dingbei. The eldest daughter-in-law of the royal family may have the possibility of becoming a noble in the future. As this, her reputation can represent the reputation of the entire family's women to a certain extent, so it cannot be ignored.

During the winter moon, the two governments had already agreed on the date of their marriage, and it was set on the tenth day of the fifth month of the following year, when Liuli turned 15.

So Aunt Su began to inquire about some things in the inner house of the Dingbei Palace intentionally or unintentionally, such as the relationship between Mrs. Mei and Qi Yunhao, the relationship between Mrs. Mei and the aunts, the relationship between the brothers Qi Yunhao, in short, the channels that can be used, She has used them all, although there are many details that she can't find out.

"I didn't have any concubines at first. Prince Qing gave him two concubines two months ago, and now they are placed in the room as housemaids. There is no sign of pregnancy yet. I don't know if there will be any in the next few years. It's gone." Aunt Su said worriedly.
