Da Suining

After lying down all night, Lu Yu finally had a request: "I want to eat."

This request almost brought tears to the emperor's eyes, he has come back to life, Lu Yu has come back from the gate of hell.

So pass the meal.

There are too many delicious foods in the palace, chickens, ducks, geese, deer, horses and pigs, those that fly in the sky and those that run on the ground, except for the emperor's meat, Lu Yu can choose the rest.

It will be three days before returning to Lu's house.

Mrs. Zhuang was worried about Lu Yu. These three days were almost as long as three years. She couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night. She walked up and down the long corridor seven or eight times.

Although someone in the palace had sent a letter to the Lu family, saying that Lu Yu was talking to the emperor in the Zhengen Hall and would return in a few days, but the Zhuang family was always worried.

As soon as Lu Yu got out of the carriage, Mrs. Zhuang went up to meet him, stretched out her hand, and carefully touched Lu Yu's whole body from top to bottom, then hugged him and shed tears.

Mrs. Zhuang is not someone who shed tears easily, which made Lu Zhan feel distressed: "You child, once you enter the palace as a servant, you don't know how to return home, which makes your mother worry. You are too old, so I should marry you a wife That’s good, so that there is someone in the family who misses you, and you often know when you come back.”

"I won't marry." Lu Yu directly refused.

"No rush, no hurry, just come back safely." Zhuang Shi held Lu Yu's hand reluctantly to let go.

She couldn't see, she didn't know that Lu Yu's neck was injured, and she didn't understand Lu Yu's face, which was as white as rice paper and bloodless.

The palace sent two thousand-year-old ginseng.

Things that last a thousand years have to become refined.

Ginseng is no exception.

Thick and strong.

As far as the emperor is concerned, if he doesn't give away a thousand-year-old ginseng, he will be sorry for Lu Yu's loyalty to him.

Lu Zhan personally boiled ginseng chicken soup for Lu Yu to drink. The father and son drank the soup by the lake, you got a bowl and I got a bowl.

As if he gained some strength in his hands, Lu Yu picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, where it floated.

There is still time to waste time.

Looks like it's getting better.

Lu Zhan's brows relaxed a little: "I don't know what happened in Zheng'en Palace. The little eunuchs kept their mouths shut and couldn't find out any news. Later, the emperor's personal eunuch came to the mansion to pass a message, so they found out about you. Whereabouts. Your mother can’t see. You should be safe in everything. We are imperial physicians, and we have done our duty as physicians. Don’t spend the rest of the time in the palace. After all, companions are like companions. Get into trouble."

Lu Yu was swimming, and the green-clothed maid on the porcelain vase in the Zhengen Palace emerged in his mind.

"Did you hear that?" Lu Zhan patted Lu Yu's back.

Lu Yu couldn't help coughing, and when he coughed, the wound on his neck began to bleed faintly again.

This made Lu Zhan so worried that he didn't dare to chatter any more, but just poured ginseng soup for him non-stop.

blue mansion.

Princess Guo came back from the palace on her front foot, and called a row of matchmakers on her back foot.

Hearing that the emperor had a headache again, Princess Guo personally prepared some snacks that the emperor loved to visit the palace.

The emperor did not regard Princess Guo as an outsider, and when he mentioned Guo Cong's assassination of the emperor, Princess Guo's heart thumped in fright.

When it comes to Guo Cong, the emperor also seems to hate that iron cannot be made into steel, but after all, he had hoped at the beginning, and now that he has ended up like this, the emperor is also very heartbroken.

The two chatted for a while, and then saw a thin woman in a water-colored shirt embroidered with bees walking in.

Others' clothes are embroidered with peonies and butterflies, but hers are embroidered with bees.

Such an exception, even when he met the emperor, he still looked icy, there was no other in the palace, Mei Guifei's daughter, Guo Cong's sister Guo Li came.

Perhaps because of many changes, Guo Li sat directly in front of the emperor with his clothes on, without smiling at all.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be too late to hug the emperor's thigh at this time.

Guo Li said coldly: "Father is still elegant, chatting with Princess Langding. The royal family loves deeply."

It sounds very uncomfortable to say that you have a gun with a stick.

In the past, when she came to the palace and met Guo Li, she knew that Concubine Mei Gui was used to her being defiant, so Princess Guo would rather take a detour.

Who knew that they would meet each other today.

I haven't seen him for many days, Guo Li is still so ignorant.

Princess Guo got up to leave, but the emperor told her to sit down and have tea, and asked the maid to bring some fruit cakes.

The south wind blows, and the crabs are cooked. The freshly steamed crabs have thick and yellow crab paste and a strong aroma.

The emperor personally peeled one for Princess Guo.

Princess Guo got up and thanked her.

The emperor peeled another one for Guo Li.

Guo Li didn't even look at it, he just said, "I don't have any appetite."

It's not that I don't have an appetite, it's that I'm embarrassing the emperor.

"Should I call an imperial physician to take a look?" The emperor still doted on her.

Guo Li said: "I just came from my grandmother. My grandmother hasn't eaten this year's crabs yet, but the crabs from my father's place are too oily and fat, so I can't eat them. Can my father eat them?"

Which sentence is not pleasant to listen to, pick up which sentence to say.

The emperor put down the crab in his hand embarrassingly.

Princess Guo swallowed half of the crab paste, but it was hard to spit it out, so she could only lower her head and swallow it hard. In such an embarrassing situation, nothing tasted good, and the crab was blinded in vain.

Princess Guo is leaving again.

But the emperor pulled her to sit down, and just said to Guo Li: "The Palace of Chenghuan has been repaired again, you can go back and live here, and I have added a few more maids for you."

Guo Li got up and left without saluting.

I don't know why she came here.

It seems to be to embarrass the emperor.

"This child has been spoiled by me since I was a child." The emperor smiled and took a bite of crab meat, beckoning Princess Guo to eat it too.

There is one crab per person, and they have not finished eating.

The red crabs were steamed just right, and when they were brought to the Zhengen Temple, there was still white smoke. It was really fragrant, and it was all the fragrance of fresh crabs.

"It's rare that you still really miss me. You will come here more in the future. We are all a family, so you don't have to be born." The emperor sighed: "I don't even know when I was born with Cong'er. I can't figure out what is in his heart, maybe because of this, he committed such a big crime."

"Brother, don't blame yourself. It's because he lost his sense of proportion. My brother is already very lenient. If he spared his life, he is worthy of the imperial concubine."

"Now that Li'er is getting older, she is a royal princess after all, so it's time to mention her marriage. I'm busy and don't care about these things. You are outside the palace. If you want to know that there are talented men outside the palace, So I helped to search for it, and if there was a similar family, I married Li'er, and I forgot about it."

The emperor has many sons and few daughters.

This Guo Li almost grew up holding it in the palm of his hand.

A red crab on a white porcelain plate, with its teeth and claws open.

In Princess Guo's heart, she was like a cat scratching, so that she didn't listen to a word of what the emperor said later. When the maid came to wash her hands with a golden basin, she raised her hands and didn't know how to put them in the basin. , The maid knelt and reminded her three times before she came back to her senses.

Several matchmakers lined up in a row, waiting for Princess Guo's dispatch.

Five taels of silver per person, white silver in your hands, a few matchmakers look at each other, this happiness comes too suddenly.

"Go and talk to my family about the marriage. If it is suitable, if it is done, I will reward you a lot."

The matchmakers nodded.

Before the marriage was announced, the princess gave five taels of silver, which was enough for an ordinary family's expenses for half a year.If it is done, the princess is not allowed to give gold.

The last time the market was so good was when the Mei family proposed to Mei Jing.

"I don't know if the princess has a suitable candidate?" The matchmaker said: "If there is someone who agrees with the young master, we can make it happen."

"My brother likes the daughter of Xiang's family, she is good-looking." Lan Yu helped to speak.

"Although this daughter of Xiang's family is good-looking, she is married to the prince after all. Now that the prince is gone, she has another daughter. The taste of a noble son. It's really a little bit. I want to marry the princess. I have to let the emperor know about it. This guts."

"You think too much." Princess Guo supported her head with her hand: "Xiang Yan's daughter is not the only one, isn't there another one in the family?"

"So it's the second girl from Xiang's family. Ah, it's easy to say, this is easy to say, I'll come to the door tomorrow to say goodbye." A matchmaker was very happy.

Lan Tui had just returned home from an errand, and the armor hadn't been taken off yet. After hearing from Lan Heng that Princess Guo asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to him, she was very surprised and rushed to the front hall.

"You came at the right time. I asked these matchmakers to talk about marriage with you. If it comes to an end, let's get married as soon as possible." Princess Guo stroked her chest.

For a long time, Princess Guo has considered her status to be precious. She also has eyes for her only son Lan Fai. She doesn't pay attention to the daughters of ordinary families, but now she is so anxious.

"Mother, you are anxiously waiting to hold your grandson." Lan Yu joked.

Lan Tui asked: "What's the matter, mother? Why do you suddenly want me to get married?"

Princess Guo remembered the situation when she entered the palace and saw Guo Li. Guo Li's untamable and ignorant appearance did not take the emperor seriously, let alone her aunt.

She thought of the emperor's words again, and it was inevitable that she would feel worried: "I had a quick meeting with Guo Li in Zheng'en Hall."

"Guo Li looks like a fairy, she is the emperor's prettiest daughter." Lan Xie couldn't help admiring. She went to the palace a few times and met Guo Li. Because of her similar age, she also said a few times: " Once in the palace, a eunuch chief bullied a palace maid. She beat the eunuch directly on the palace road and knocked out two of the eunuch's teeth. Bullied by outsiders."

"What do you know, Guo Li has been doted on by the emperor and Concubine Mei since she was a child, and she has never been dared to be provoked by anyone in the palace. She has a big temper, and even the emperor has nothing to do with her. In the past, she, Princess Chaoyang, Guo Li, might have been the daughter-in-law of many aristocratic families. The first choice, but right now, you know about Cong'er, and you've seen the fate of Concubine Mei Gui, who would dare to marry her after what her mother and brother did?"

"Why did mother suddenly think of Guo Li?" Lan Tuo gently wiped the water on his scabbard, seemingly unintentionally.

"I went to the palace to have a face-to-face meeting. The emperor suddenly asked me to find Guo Li's husband's family. The emperor's intention is already obvious, that is, he has taken a fancy to you." Princess Guo sighed.

If this Guo Li enters the Lan family, how will it end.

"No wonder Mother asked a matchmaker to marry me." Lan Tuo lowered her head and wiped her scabbard, then began to wipe her blade again: "But Mother, if it's not what I like, I'd rather not marry."

"It's a disaster, do you still have a choice?" Princess Guo shook her head, "If you don't want to get married, then the next time you announce me into the palace, you will announce your marriage to Guo Li. Are you married?"

Of course Lan Fai didn't want to.

If the emperor grants a marriage, it will be too late.

If you want to refuse, you can't refuse.

Thinking of this, Lan Fai was a little scared.

Xiangfu.

Xiang Guoxin is about to go on an expedition.Going to the northwest this time, I was doing the work of the mighty Bomeitong.

Regarding Guo Cong's matter, although the emperor did not blame Mei Tong, he did not even ask him to talk to him alone, but where did Guo Cong's courage come from? The emperor's heart is like a bright mirror.

It's just that the eldest prince has lost power, and the emperor doesn't want the Mei family to suffer any more.

So it can be regarded as letting Meitong go.

"You have to go to the northwest to fight a good battle. When you come back after winning the battle, you will beg the emperor to let my cousin out and stop guarding him in the dark tomb." Mei Jing said to the minister. Guo Xin arranges his clothes while blowing the air for him.

Outside the door was Mrs. Xiang's voice: "My daughter-in-law's words are wrong."

Mrs. Xiang was on crutches, and Xiang Suining helped her drink tea in the front hall.

In the past few days, because of Guo Cong's matter, Mei Jing has been whispering ideas in Xiang Guoxin's ears, and Xiang Guoxin is very annoyed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xiang made a rescue: "The eldest prince is honored as a prince now, and it is his filial piety to go to guard the mausoleum. Even if he wins the battle because of his heart, he will not allow him to talk about the matter of the eldest prince."

Mei Jing's face flushed red.

At Mei's house, she doesn't care what she says, but at Xiang's house, it seems that she can't speak well.

Xiang Suining helped Xiang Guoxin organize his clothes.

"Grandmother, the eldest prince's success is only good for us. After all, half of the Mei family's blood is in him." Mei Jing wanted to refute.

Old Mrs. Xiang choked her to death with one sentence: "What if he didn't make it to the top? Or if the eldest prince committed any crime, will the Mei family also bear it?"

Mei Jing bit her lip and said nothing.

It happened that a matchmaker came to the door.

Seeing that the old lady was admonishing the children, the matchmaker stood outside the door with a smile, not daring to say a single extra word.

The matchmaker came to the door, and it was only Xiang Suining's business.

"I heard that Xiang's family is good at teaching children. In the past, there was the third daughter of Xiang who became a princess, and later there was a son of Xiang who lived in the fourth rank at a young age, and the second daughter of Xiang was talented and beautiful. Naturally, there is no difference. Changxinhou's mansion is right. The girl's conduct is very good, and the girl is about the same age as Mr. Lan, so the princess entrusts the old man to come here to propose marriage. I also ask the Xiang family to consider it."

Changxinhou Mansion.Nature is precious.

Lan Huai's character is obvious to all.

"Then Mr. Lan, do you really like our Suining family?" Mrs. Xiang asked.

"This..." the matchmaker rubbed her handkerchief: "Birth-seeking is what the princess means, so naturally Mr. Lan thinks so too."

"This is what you think. Go back and ask if that young master Lan really likes Suining and wants to marry her. If he is sincere, you can talk back."

"This matter has been the order of the parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker," the matchmaker wanted to continue.

Mrs. Xiang didn't speak any more, she just leaned on her crutches and said softly, "Seeing off the guests."
