Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 326
lobby.

After Shen Qingli took a sip of the pure tea, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the emperor sitting above.I haven't seen him for several years, but his body is still thin and his face is pale and bloodless.Obviously, the court bloodbath that year has not slowed him down so far.

Although he lived in the market for a long time, Shen Qingli still heard a lot of rumors about him.Hearing that the situation in the court was turbulent and the powerful officials were fighting endlessly, they almost deposed him as the emperor.Later, he accepted the harem, selected the daughters of officials, and balanced the power of all parties, and finally calmed down all kinds of turmoil in the court.

The world's evaluation of his emperor is getting higher and higher.But Shen Qingli took a closer look at his appearance, and secretly guessed in his heart that even though there are three thousand beauties in the harem, his life these years should not be very good.

While the two were silent, Shen Qingli was secretly looking at the emperor. The emperor clasped his fair and thin fingers lightly, holding the tea bowl made in the azure official cellar in his hand, and looked at Shen Qingli without any trace.

I haven't seen her for a few years, she is dressed in rich and brocade clothes, her eyebrows and eyes no longer have the hostility of the past, but there is more grace and leisure.

He is also leisurely and contented in every gesture.

Obviously, she should have had a good life these years.

There was an imperceptible wry smile on the corner of her lips, that's right, with Lu Huaiqi by her side, the husband and wife had a son and a daughter, and they were reunited with each other. Such a warm and harmonious life could naturally pamper her to be gentle and comfortable.

"Your Majesty, you have made a private visit to Jingzhou City on your micro-service this time. The court affairs..." The emperor kept silent, so Shen Qingli had no choice but to bring up the topic first.She wanted to ask the emperor, he has come to Jingzhou City, who will take care of the affairs in the court.

The emperor already knew what she was going to ask, so he answered her first, "You can rest assured about the affairs of the court, I have entrusted trustworthy people to help manage it. Now the civil and military officials in the court only know that I have given birth I couldn’t go to the morning court due to illness, and I didn’t know that I had already arrived in Jingzhou City.”

The emperor spoke a little excitedly, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his attitude of talking to her seemed too warm.This will make her feel inappropriate.He lightly clenched his right hand into a fist, put it between his lips and coughed lightly, and then said restrainedly, "Actually, I... have long wanted to visit you in person... you and Lu Jiuqian. Things are complicated and boring, and I was stared at by the officials before, so I really can't leave. This time, I happened to be out of the palace, and I passed by Jingzhou City and knew that your family was sheltering from the cold in Jingzhou City, so I stopped by to visit you."

Shen Qingli felt that the emperor talked too much.Now he is the emperor, and they are his subjects. He, the emperor, doesn't need to explain this to her at all.

With a smile on the corner of her lips, she nodded lightly, as a response to the emperor's words.

There was silence again between the two.

The emperor had a lot to say to her, but he was afraid of offending her.

Shen Qingli really didn't know what to say to the emperor.

Quiet, eerily quiet.

"Your Majesty, my wife has already sent someone to inform Huaiqi that you are coming, and he should be here soon. Otherwise, my wife will let someone prepare a table of wine and banquets, and you two will have a good time later. "Shen Qingli only felt that she would be embarrassed if she stayed any longer, so she suggested that she wanted to get up and leave.

After all, time and distance are the best weapons for indifference.Shen Qingli and Lu Huai have lived together in Cangzhou and Jingzhou for more than six years, and her previous sympathy for the emperor has long since been watered down.

When she said she was going to leave, the emperor's whole body tensed up, and he quickly opened his lips again, "How is Lu Jiuqian now?"

He was diverting her attention.Due to the superiority between the monarch and his ministers, Shen Qingli had no choice but to answer, "He, in his spare time, he raises camellias and spends time with the children. Our life is pretty comfortable."

Shen Qingli was talking, looking through the door of the front hall, looking at a large tea tree planted outside the hall.Even though it is early winter, there are many camellias blooming one after another, looking at the past, it is colorful.

The emperor saw Shen Qingli's mad love for the camellia in front of the hall from Shen Qingli's eyes.His eyes dimmed slightly.The tea trees were planted by Lu Huaiqi, and it was only Aiwu and Wu that Shen Qingli valued this piece of camellia so much.

"That's good..." The emperor responded gruffly, "Although Lu Jiuqian and I had some festivities before, everything has become a thing of the past. Since Lu Jiuqian can let go of the power in his hands, I can also let go of those grudges against him."

This is to assure Shen Qingli that as long as he is the emperor, he will not pursue Lu Huaiqi's previous crimes again.

Just as Shen Qingli opened his lips to respond to the emperor, Lu Huaiqi's hearty voice sounded at the entrance of the hall, "Lu Huaiqi, a grassroots man, didn't know the emperor's holy car was coming, so he was far away to welcome him. Please don't blame the emperor!"

As soon as the words fell, his tall and handsome figure had already appeared in front of the two people in the hall.

The emperor suddenly felt that the breath flowing in the air became stiff and tense.

He had naively thought that after Lu Huaiqi's sinking for so many years, seeing him again, he must have lost his hostility, and he could still compete with him in terms of aura when standing in front of him.

Never thought that Lu Huaiqi's strong appearance again made him look weak again.

As soon as Lu Huaiqi walked into the front hall, he pulled Shen Qingli behind him with familiar movements, and looked at the emperor with a smile.

No courtesy, no greetings, the attitude is still as arrogant as it was many years ago.

The emperor's eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes swept over Lu Huaiqi, and fell on Shen Qingli behind him.

This man... should be aware of his special affection for his elder sister.

That's why he swore in front of him so clearly that he had the exclusive right to the elder sister.

"Lu Jiuqian, long time no see." The emperor greeted politely.

Lu Huai laughed and nodded, then turned back and told Shen Qingli, "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare some delicious meals. After all, the emperor has come from a long way, so we can't be rude."

In front of the emperor, Shen Qingli was very embarrassed by Lu Huai.After she nodded obediently, she bid farewell to the emperor and left.The emperor watched her leave with some reluctance.He didn't look away until her figure disappeared outside the hall.

In the next moment, his eyes collided with a sharp gaze.

He was pierced by that gaze, and his nerves tensed up.

"Your Majesty, you have seen it with your own eyes. Ali and I are living a pretty good life now. When are you going to go back?" Lu Huaiqi directly issued an order to drive the emperor away as soon as he opened his mouth.

He hates that some people come to disturb the current life of their husband and wife.

The emperor hated Lu Huaiqi talking to him like this.He pursed his lips tightly and smiled stiffly, "I still want to stay in Jingzhou City for a day or two to enjoy the infinite scenery of Jingzhou City."

Appreciating the scenery is false, but seeing talents is true.

As Lu Huai thought about it in his heart, he became more and more disgusted with his "brother-in-law".But it doesn't matter, although he hasn't been in the court these years, he still knows about him.

His "brother-in-law" is a full-fledged sister-in-law.None of the favored women in his palace these years looked very similar to his elder sister.

"Is it the king's land in the whole world? Since the emperor wants to appreciate the customs and customs of Jingzhou City, Caomin should accompany him. It's just that Caomin's body is really uncomfortable recently..." Lu Huaiqi coughed violently as he spoke , the cough became more and more severe, as if he was about to cough up his heart, liver and lungs, "A Li has to stay at the mansion to take care of the grassroots recently, and he can't accompany the emperor to enjoy the scenery of Jingzhou City. Your Majesty has a lot, it must be I won't blame the Caomin couple."

What the emperor said made the emperor's teeth itch with hatred, "I heard in the palace that Lu Jiuqian's health has been deteriorating day by day, and I saw it today. Lu Jiuqian, I want to come to my emperor's sister to marry you, It's not a good relationship."

The two of them no longer pretended to be snakes, and simply turned on the mocking mode and mocked each other.

His taunting Lu Huaiqi didn't take it to heart at all. On the contrary, he smiled complacently, "The emperor is right. It is indeed a blessing from the past life that Caomin can marry Ali. The only thing Caomin can repay her is to cherish her." she."

Even if this person left the court, he could still drive people to death with his words.

"Lu Jiuqian is also a former important minister in the court. Since you are not feeling well, I can't go back to Liangjing City so soon. How about this, I will stay with Jiuqian in Jingzhou City for a few more days, and wait for Jiuqian Sui's body has recovered a bit, and I will go back to Beijing again. Of course, in order to facilitate my visit to Lu Jiuqian, I will stay in Lu's residence during this period."

One is shameless, and the other is even more shameless.

When Lu Huaiqi looked at the emperor again, there was a blade in his eyes.

All day long with the gang of civil and military officials in the court, the emperor's skin is thick and thick.

Knowing how to drive him away, Lu Huaiqi simply took a step back, "Since the emperor doesn't dislike the humble house, of course the grassroots are willing to keep the emperor."

This night, the emperor really stayed in the Lu residence.Also on the same night, Lu Huaiqi became ill again, and several doctors took turns taking his pulse, all speculating that his old illness had relapsed.

Shen Qingli had no choice but to take care of him in undressed clothes.With this care, she had no time to meet the emperor at all.During the period, the emperor also took the initiative to "visit" Lu Jiuqian, but just as the emperor wanted to say a few words to Shen Qingli, Lu Huaiqi was either coughing or vomiting, which made Shen Qingli very nervous. Talk to the emperor more.

The emperor stayed in Lu's residence for a few days, and Liang Jingcheng frequently sent letters urging him to return to Beijing.After all, he "couldn't bear it" Lu Huaiqi, so he bid farewell to Shen Qingli and left.

On the day of his departure, Lu Huaiqi was still "seriously ill" and could not send him away in person.Shen Qingli had to take a few people to the ferry to see him off.

"Your Majesty, we will bid farewell today. I don't know when we will see each other again. My wife is here to wish the Emperor long live and long live." Shen Qingli stepped forward and gave the emperor a big gift.The emperor hurried forward to help her.

"Mrs. Lu... After this scripture, you have to take good care of your body." The emperor's eyes showed too much attachment and reluctance.With the court facing the outside, the two worlds, and the future life trajectories of their siblings are rarely likely to intersect.

Or to put it more cruelly, today's parting may be their farewell.

He took out a gold-plated token from his wide sleeve, and firmly stuffed it into Shen Qingli's hand, "If you encounter any difficult things in the future, take this gold medal to the government to ask for help."

The gold medal in her hand still had the warmth of the emperor, Shen Qingli refused to accept the gold medal, but the emperor stuffed it back into her hand again and again.

Glancing behind Shen Qingli, seeing that Ran Mo and the others didn't come forward, the emperor let out a long breath, "Actually, you are too much like my elder sister, and I have always treated you as my elder sister in my heart." My life was saved by the elder sister. I dare not promise you anything here. I can only say that as long as I am alive, I will try my best to protect you. Even if Lu Huaiqi changes his mind later, my palace It is also your haven of refuge."

In fact, there is still a lot of reluctance in his heart, and he even wants to directly express the feelings he hides in his heart at a certain moment.

When the words came to his lips, the suppressed feelings were cowardly and difficult to express after all.

The entourage on the side stepped forward respectfully and urged the emperor to just board the ship.The emperor took a deep look at Shen Qingli, and immediately stepped forward to hug her, "Elder Sister, goodbye!"

As soon as the words fell, he boarded the boat without looking back.

Shen Qingli only felt that the ambergris on the tip of her nose was slowly fading away, as if someone had gouged out her heart.

Her mood became a little complicated.

Watching the figure leaving on the boat, some familiar images flashed in my mind like a fleeting shadow.

When Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty was alive, she was the eldest princess, and he was her twelfth emperor brother.

They have the same father and half mother, but they have similar experiences in the deep palace.She also swore to take good care of him, the little twelve younger brother, in the future.

The oath of that day was still lingering in her ears, but she took off her palace robe and became a woman trapped in a deep boudoir. She cruelly kept him in the palace and made him continue to entangle with those wolves, tigers and leopards in the court. .

It's a little... selfish.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and waved to the figure on the boat, but unfortunately... the figure on the boat didn't turn around.

The solitary fragrance is far away and the blue sky is gone.

Shen Qingli stood there for a long time.Ran Mo was worried that she would catch the wind and cold standing in the limelight, so she stepped forward to remind her, "Miss, Jiu Qiansui is still waiting for you in the mansion."

A word of reminder instantly brought Shen Qingli back to reality.Shen Qingli's empty pupils were gradually infused with obsidian-like brilliance.

"Ran Mo, let's go back." She grabbed Ran Mo's hand tightly, although she didn't know why she carried the memories of the past after changing her body, but it was a good thing after all.

Around her is Ran Mo, Lu Huaiqi, Zhu Shi, and her pair of lovely children.

She is no longer alone.

These lively and lovely people also need her to protect them.

Ran Mo felt that she was pulling her hand hard, she looked up at her, Shen Qingli lowered her eyes, and smiled at her.

"Ranmo, I promised you back then that I would give you a good home. After so many years, I think the most reliable people in our house are only left with tension. The two of you usually walk away. It's near, or else... I'll go and talk to Huaiqi, and you two will be there..."

Shen Qingli's black and clear eyes turned and turned, looking at Zhang Li who was walking in front of them.

Dye Mo's face was already redder than cooked shrimp.

"Miss, Ran Mo will follow you for the rest of his life." Ran Mo bit his lip and pulled the hem of his clothes as he said.

"Yeah, I didn't let you leave me. If you marry Zhang Li, won't you be with us all your life?" Shen Qingli deliberately teased again. In fact, Zhang Li and Ran Mo's marriage had been mentioned to her by Lu Huaiqi before. .

Lu Huai asked Zhang Li, Zhang Li hesitated for a long time, and said that Ran Mo is a very good woman, if anyone can marry her, it is a blessing from the previous life.

Ran Mo couldn't help but stomped her feet after being teased, and ran away straight away.Zhang Li at the front heard what they were doing here, and turned around to look blankly.

The more Shen Qingli looked at these two awkward people, the more he felt that they were very suitable for each other, and he made up his mind. After returning, he asked the housekeeper to make arrangements and get the two engaged as soon as possible.

After about a stick of incense, Shen Qingli and the others returned to the mansion.Lu Huaiqi has been "seriously ill" recently, scaring the two children in the house.Cheng Xi ran into their house every day, and Xiao Chenglin also took pride in not going out to make trouble, and only stayed with Lu Huaiqi alone.

When Shen Qingli returned to the house, he saw Lu Huaiqi half leaning on the bed, his eldest daughter and younger son surrounded him, and the two little guys were chirping to comfort Lu Huaiqi.Shen Qingli entered the room with a wry smile, "You all go down first."

The two children reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Huai.

After only the husband and wife were left in the room, Shen Qingli glanced helplessly at Lu Huaiqi who was still "sickly" lying down, "The emperor has already left, so stop pretending to be sick. Look, worry about the two children." have to."

The little trick I played was exposed by my wife so easily.Lu Huai kicked off the quilt and simply sat up from the bed.

"You, the older you get, the less serious you become." Shen Qingli poked Lu Huaiqi's temple lightly with his finger, this man, after staying with the two children for a long time, why is he becoming more and more childish.

There is really no way to take him.

Lu Huaiqi was not angry when Shen Qingli scolded her like this.Instead, he reached out his arms cheekily and hugged her tightly.

"It's not that I have no choice but to make such a bad plan. Otherwise, how can I drive away the annoying little emperor." Lu Huai grabbed Shen Qingli's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it gently.

After driving away the "brother-in-law", he can stay with his wife again. This feeling is really good.

He looked like a mangy dog, making Shen Qingli both funny and amusing.She also hugged Lu Huai with her backhand, "You, you are jealous of anything. The more you live, the more childish you are."

The lingering breath in his nose reassured Shen Qingli.

For a moment, she thought of the little emperor who had left alone.

After all, she is a selfish older sister, unable to give up the warmth of Xiaojia, she can only choose to betray the vows she made to him.

"A Li, you said we have such a good relationship, it would be great if we could still be husband and wife in the next life." A gust of wind blew outside the window, and the sky was filled with colorful fallen flowers. Lu Huaiqi hugged her, and couldn't help but began to ask her for the fate of the next life.

There was a fresh fragrance of flowers in the air, and Shen Qingli took a deep breath. People are greedy, and she also hopes to be with Lu Huai for life and life.

"You are such a machismo, you like to take care of everything by yourself, who wants to be with you if you let the people around you worry about it." What you think in your heart is completely different from what you say in your mouth.

Lu Huai smiled and said, "If you don't stay with me, then I'll just rely on you. Anyway, I will continue to pester you in my next life."

As he spoke, Lu Huai raised his hands and directly hugged Shen Qingli.

The two came to the open floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky was full of flowers and dances outside the window, and the scenery and everything were so beautiful that they could be directly drawn into the painting.

……

When Xiao Chengxi was 12 years old, one day when Aran came to greet Shen Qingli and Lu Huai, he suddenly said to them, "Nine thousand years old, madam, Aran has a small request today, I hope you can agree to me."

The sensible and well-behaved A Ran would actually ask them when he begged them, Shen Qing was in awe, and Lu Huai was curious.

The next moment, Aran said slowly under the gaze of everyone, "Nine thousand years old, madam, Aran wants to say goodbye to you today. Aran has been taking care of nine thousand years old and his wife all these years, and Aran is very grateful. But After thinking about it for a long time, Aran decided to leave the Lu Mansion temporarily and go outside to practice."

Little Chenglin immediately grimaced towards Chengxi with malicious intentions, and made noises beside him, "Brother Aran, you finally figured it out. I told you a long time ago, to be my elder sister's child support Husband' is not such an easy thing. If you don't fight again, your whole life... Oh, mother, why are you pinching my ears? I'm telling the truth. All the men in our family are controlled by women Damn... ouch, mother, I was wrong...don't pinch me..."

Behind Xiao Chenglin, Shen Qingli sent someone to kick him out.

Without the mischievous kid, the husband and wife turned their attention to A Ran again.

"Aran, to be honest, are you dissatisfied with the status we have arranged for you?" Lu Huai's face gradually tightened.Like Shen Qingli, he also valued A Ran very much, and felt that there would be nothing wrong with entrusting his daughter to this child.

Aran lowered his eyes and remained silent.Cheng Xi next to her was about to rub the corners of her clothes to pieces.

After being silent for a long time, A Ran still didn't speak, Cheng Xi couldn't hold back any longer, and as soon as his face sank, he simply yelled at A Ran, "You can leave as you like, our Lu family won't take you, a white-eyed wolf."

Leaving aside the words, she also ran away directly.Shen Qingli felt that A Ran had been silent all this time, and it was probably because there was something inconvenient to tell them all.But this child has always been a worry-free person.

If he wants to leave, he will give them an explanation.

"Husband, you can talk with A Ran, I'm going to see Cheng Xi." Shen Qingli left with an excuse.

All of a sudden, there were only two of them, one big and one small, left in the hall.Lu Huaiqi's slender fingers tapped the table very rhythmically, making a dull sound.

"Okay, now there are only two of us left, you can tell me the reason why you want to leave the Lu residence."
