Chapter 572 Sealing the Letter (3)
Not to mention the latter, either they hated Ling Mengqi and her, or they had bad intentions towards them. They wished they could get rid of them all the time, and they had to create opportunities to attack them when there was no chance. A ready-made opportunity?

It's no wonder that Ling Mengqi has been feeling down for the past few days. This incident really makes people feel unhappy when they think about it. But Mama Wu is still there, saying that she wants to have a drink to celebrate, what's the matter? It is worth celebrating!
But no matter how depressed Lu Mingxuan was, it was a day of great joy in the eyes of the servants, so not only did the servants add more dishes at night, her dinner with Ling Mengqi was also a bit richer than usual, and she even specially ordered people to warm it up. With a pot of wine, thinking about Ling Mengqi must be unhappy, drinking some wine so that he can sleep well, maybe it will make him feel better?

The Ministry of Rites came from home to proclaim the decree, so how could Ling Mengqi not know that he didn't want to show his displeasure when he was in the guard, lest his colleagues think he got a advantage and acted like a good boy, but he didn't have to worry about it on the way home after leaving the yamen So he returned home with a cold face all the way, and the concierge who was originally happy immediately clamped his tail, but he couldn't help guessing in his heart, could it be that the uncle's business in the yamen is not going well today?

The concierge didn't think at all that Ling Mengqi was entangled and depressed because of Lu Mingxuan's appointment. After all, the uncle's love for his wife these days is seen by the whole family.

Ling Mengqi's cold face subconsciously softened a lot when he saw Lu Mingxuan waiting in front of the courtyard where they went to the room from a distance, and when he walked in front of her, he relaxed even more, and said: "No I said, if it's cold today, just let you wait for me in the house, don't come out and wait, in case the wind blows and you catch a cold, it's not a joke."

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said: "It's only October, and the frost beads haven't even formed much yet, so I won't go out. When it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, will I be nestled in a smoke cage? Don't worry, I will It's not cold, and it's only half a stick of incense coming out, so you won't get sick from frostbite."

"Having said that, it's better to be more cautious." Ling Mengqi said, holding Lu Mingxuan's hand, and the husband and wife entered the room together.

After entering the house, Ling Mengqi went to the clean room to change clothes and freshen up, while Lu Mingxuan ordered Danqing and the others to prepare meals. When Ling Mengqi came out, the table was already full, and the steaming dishes were all his favorite dishes .

Lu Mingxuan was arranging the bowls and chopsticks. After setting the bowls and chopsticks, she picked up the jug and poured wine for him.

Seeing this, Ling Mengqi hurriedly said: "It's fine to let the girls do these things. If you have to do everything yourself, what are we raising them for nothing?"

"I want to serve you personally." Lu Mingxuan smiled coquettishly, stepped forward and pushed him to sit in her seat, then sat down by herself, raised the glass in front of her and said to him: "Today My imperial order has come down, and since then I have been appointed as the fourth-rank imperial lady by the imperial court. Everyone should respect a little bit when I go out, and this dignity is what you have worked so hard to earn for me. I would like to offer you a toast. Let me express my gratitude, although husbands and wives don't use these false things, but I have to let you know how grateful I am, right?"

Ling Mengqi also raised his wine glass when he heard the words, but his expression and words were filled with guilt: "In the past, all I wanted was to make your husband honor your wife and live a carefree and good life all your life. But in the past few years, too many things have happened. The several times you were imprisoned were more or less related to me. Every time, it was the Murong family who were against you. You had very few chances to meet them before. If there is less, so many things can happen, and the chances of you meeting them will increase greatly in the future. I am really worried... It is because I am incompetent and cannot let you rest easy. One day, will you regret marrying me... ..."

"You are still incompetent, if you say this, nine out of ten men in the capital will die of shame!" Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingxuan interrupted with a smile: "You know, there is no woman in this world I have never had a dream of a husband and wife, but most of the dreams have not come true. Now that my dream has come true, I am too happy. How can I regret it? Don’t think so much, I Still the same sentence, is it because someone accidentally choked to death while eating, I will never eat for the rest of my life, or someone accidentally fell to death while walking, so I will never walk for the rest of my life? Soldiers come to cover up water and earth, it was so difficult before We have all survived, and with today's good life, is it not as good as before? I am not afraid, what else do you have to be afraid of?"

At most, it's nothing more than death, but as long as I can die with you, death is nothing to be afraid of, is it?

After Lu Mingxuan relieved herself for a while in the afternoon, she already had a lot of thoughts in her heart. If the order is not down, it is already down. Can it be possible to go back? Then try to think about the bright side. At least she has indeed gained a lot of people. The decency and glory that can be achieved, at least her parents and relatives can be honored by her face, that is enough, otherwise, what should I do?Ling Mengqi was already unhappy enough, if she looked annoyed and worried again, wouldn't she put him on the fire and roast him!
Ling Mengqi smiled wryly to himself, if he was himself, he would never frown even if he went up the knife mountain or down the frying pan, but when Lu Mingxuan was involved, he couldn't help himself not to be afraid.

However, Lu Mingxuan's words made him feel a lot more relaxed, and he was able to laugh, although the smile was still a bit bitter: "Perhaps the more you have, the less courage you will have."

Lu Mingxuan nodded and said: "This is also human nature, but we really can't give up eating because of choking. Isn't it just going to the palace to worship at four o'clock and eighth? Under the circumstances, is there really anyone who dares to do anything to me? Besides, there are Sister Wei, the old lady, the second wife, and the eldest sister-in-law. If it doesn’t help, I can still call it sick... The methods are all thought up by people, saying To put it bluntly, can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

What he said made Ling Mengqi feel that he was indeed worrying unfoundedly. This is the so-called care is chaos. He pondered for a moment before saying: "Now that the Thousand Autumn Festival and the Longevity Festival have passed, the Empress Dowager's birthday has also passed. Next During this period of time, there were no festivals, and the last pilgrimage to the palace was Zhengdan, and there were still more than two months to go... It couldn't be just because there might be a crisis in just a few hours, these two We won't be able to survive for many months."

He is not a person who loves to be a horny man. When something happens, he tries to solve it. He spends the whole day with a sad face and complains. That is not him anymore. The crucial two months are enough for him to arrange a lot of things. up.

At the moment, I want to open up my heart, and if I want to open up in my heart, my appetite naturally increases, and I eat more than usual.

Lu Mingxuan saw it, Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then settled the score with him: "I don't want to hear words like today's 'will you regret marrying me' in the future, you If you say it again, don't blame me for turning my face. If I regret it, it's not because I didn't know that you would probably not have a peaceful life after marrying, so I wouldn't agree to be with you. Now that I'm with you, naturally I won't Will regret it, do you have no confidence in me, or do you have no confidence in yourself?"
