boudoir

Chapter 299
Qi Yunhao said that he would go to the grave after breakfast, so there was still some time before he left.Liuli heard that King Dingbei was finally in the mansion, and she was afraid that if she didn't go, she would be apportioned by the Mei family, so she sorted out some of the new year's goods list and other things that had been done recently, and went to Rongxi Hall to say hello and report to him by the way. Tell me what's next.

King Dingbei was sitting in the main hall, and Mrs. Mei was also by his side. Halfway through Liuli's speech, Mrs. Mei went in.Seeing that King Dingbei was sitting alone, Liuli seemed not in the mood to listen to her details, and then she stopped talking, took a sip of tea, thought about it, smiled, and said: "Our courtyard is here today. I bought a few jars of high-quality spirits, knowing that the prince likes to drink strong wine, so I asked someone to send a jar to the prince later."

King Dingbei hummed, and said, "You women, what kind of alcohol do you drink?"

Liu Li said: "How can the daughter-in-law drink it herself? Today is the general's birthday, and it is prepared for the general."

King Dingbei heard that he was praying for Yunhao's birthday, and his fingers that were boringly tapping on the handrail suddenly stopped, "His birthday—" After finishing speaking, a trace of sadness slipped through his eyes, and then he murmured: "Yes , It’s been 23 years in a flash.”

He said 23 years not 23!It doesn't sound like much of a difference at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there is a big difference.No one would say that birthdays are based on the year of the cycle, only the year is counted according to the year, so he can guess whether the sadness in his eyes is for Qi Yunhao or Mrs. Ye without much thought!
After 23 years, he will still feel sorry for Mrs. Ye's death. Could it be that he actually misses Mrs. Ye too?
"My lord," she decided to try again, "In addition to the general's birthday, today is also my mother-in-law's memorial day."

King Dingbei didn't speak, and got up to tend the orchids on the flower stand as usual in his spare time.Suddenly turned around again: "What kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, you only have one mother-in-law, which is your current wife." After finishing speaking, he strode out.

He actually emphasized Mei's identity to his daughter-in-law on the first wife's memorial day. How could he miss Mrs. Ye at all?It seems that his emotions just now were just his temporary touch.

Liuli was a little disappointed, and felt sad for Qi Yunhao. It's no wonder that his father denied his biological mother so much that he hated him so much.

Of course, after returning to the room, she would not say these things to Qi Yunhao. After breakfast as usual, she changed into plain clothes for Qi Yunhao, put a cloak on him, and said, "If the general comes back for lunch, , just send someone to tell me. I’ll let someone cook the soup earlier, and you can drink it when you come back.”

Qi Yunhao grabbed her hand: "Aren't you going?"

Liuli was startled: "The general didn't tell me to go!"

So far, Qi Yunhao has never said that he would take her with him.And the information he and Li Xing sent her was that he would spend this day alone, and she really thought that he wanted to spend this day alone with Mrs. Ye and talk without being disturbed, so she only prepared for him. I don't plan to go with you.How could he not make her feel sudden when he asked this question?
"You are a daughter-in-law, why don't you go?" Qi Yunhao took off the cloak, called Rui'er and said, "Hurry up and change clothes for grandma."

Only then did Liuli change her clothes in a hurry, while combing her hair, she asked Rui'er to send the altar of wine to the main courtyard, finally it only took half an hour to get it done.

Mrs. Ye was buried in the Qifu cemetery in the southern suburbs. After King Dingbei became king, he rebuilt the road on the cemetery, so the carriage could reach the mountain all the way.Parked the car on the half slope, and prayed for Yunhao to help Liuli down. In front of a large cemetery made of sweat and white jade, Li Xing and several other guards were already standing there in a row, and Fan Yun had already opened some food. Box, put fast food in front of the tomb.

Liuli and Qi Yunhao walked over side by side, and when they arrived at the tomb, they saw "Tomb of Princess Yeshi Peiyin of Dingbei" engraved on the stele in big red lacquer characters.Liuli was a little confused. At first she thought that Mrs. Mei had not been conferred the title of concubine, so naturally Mrs. Ye was the same, but she did not expect that Mrs. Ye was still conferred, and the whole cemetery looked very new, tidy and grand, carved beautifully. It is also very exquisite and exquisite, and it is completely the ostentation of the prince's wife. It is estimated that it was rebuilt after being awarded the title.

Concubine Ye could get this honor, why didn't Mrs. Mei get it?Is this because the Holy Majesty deliberately did so on the grounds that Mrs. Ye is his cousin, or is it because King Dingbei never went to ask the Holy Majesty for a grant?
Liuli felt that there were too many secrets hidden in the palace.

"Madam please."

Fan Yun handed the glass of wine to her, and saw that Qi Yunhao had knelt down on his knees, took the wine from Fan Yun and sprinkled it in front of the tomb.So he also knelt down and bowed respectfully a few times.In fact, if you want to say something, if you feel hypocritical, then forget it.After getting up, he stood beside him, quietly waiting for Qi Yunhao.Qi Yunhao stood silently for a while, stroked the date of Princess Ye's birth engraved on the door of Fushi's tomb, sighed, turned around and came down.

Liuli said: "If the general wants to talk to the concubine for a while, I can wait in the car."

He shook his head, "No, she will be at ease."

As he spoke, he helped her into the carriage and lowered the curtain.

After returning to the mansion, Xie Er, who was in charge of the small kitchen on the back, came over and asked for instructions on how to prepare the lunch.Liuli originally wanted to celebrate Qi Yunhao's birthday, but she was afraid that he would be sad, so she said yesterday to see how Qi Yunhao was feeling today, and now the two Xie family came to ask.Liuli recalled his expression in front of the tomb, it was quite normal after all, but he walked so happily and so abnormally, she was not sure if he really let go.

When I lifted the curtain, I wanted to ask him, but I saw him lying on the couch, as if he was asleep, so I turned around and said: "Go and prepare some delicious vegetarian dishes, and tomorrow you can make the dishes that the general likes to eat." , let's celebrate his birthday."

Xie Er's family said: "Okay! I'll do it now, servant girl!"

Liuli went back to the house, seeing that Qi Yunhao still didn't move, she picked up the quilt on the bed and covered him, and was about to leave, but his hand was held by him.He turned his face away and said, "You don't need to change it, let's live it today."

Liuli sat on the edge of the couch and said, "Is the general feeling better?"

He raised his arm and put it on the back of his head, and said: "I don't know why, I seem to think less about these things recently. Some things can't be changed by clinging to them. Seeing you walking in front of me alive and kicking every day Walking around, busy here and there, and not forgetting to take time to choke others, so I feel that life is not so boring."

Liuli smiled and said, "The general is thinking about it, it's really great!"

He also laughed, and suddenly said: "I think, in fact, my name is quite nice."

Liuli was stunned, and blurted out: "Yun Hao?"

"Hey." He nodded and pulled her into his arms, "That's right."

Liuli blushed, and got up from him, "Since when did you become so cunning?"

He pinched her nose: "Women sing and husbands follow, I learned from you."

Liuli is very happy that Qi Yunhao can come out of this haze.I ate a vegetarian dish at noon, and after the meal, I called Xie Er's family to come and told him to prepare the dinner well, and asked Li Xing to take a jar of wine and vegetables to share with the brothers. When I was in the mansion, I didn't have to work as an errand, so I agreed to go together.

While appreciating the wine and dishes, Liuli called Li Xing: "You have been quiet since you begged, when will you marry Yuegui?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "The young one is preparing a house. The young one was originally alone, and the young one will be wherever Qi Yunhao is. If you have a wife, of course you have to have a decent place to live. General Let Guanshi Fan give a three-room house on Hulu Street in the back for the younger one, and I have been painting and repairing the tiles for the past few days, and when it is done, the younger one will come to marry."

Liu Li laughed when she heard this, "Since that's the case, it makes sense." After thinking about it, she said, "The general gave you the house, so I'll give you 30 taels of silver here too, and you can buy some more houses." What should be used in it."

Li Xing quickly thanked him and went out with the money for food and drinks.

Liuli waited for him to go out here, and called out Yuegui who was hiding behind the curtain, and said: "His house is just finished in the middle of the conversation, and you should also prepare for the wedding dress and so on. Let someone show you the date, and if you are optimistic, you will be married."

Yuegui knelt down with a red face: "I don't want to leave Grandma's side."

She said something.If it is an ordinary little girl, if she is married, if she is not sent to the mansion to be a rough envoy, then she will be sent outside to guard the shop and Zhuangzi. It's not suitable for Yuegui to stay in the room after getting married.

Liuli said: "I can't let you go for the time being, don't worry. There is a shortage of people in the restaurant. Your brother is already eleven or twelve years old, right? You put him in the restaurant first, let him learn to manage accounts, wait He has been on the road for a few years, and I also arranged for him an errand, so as not to stay at your uncle's house to watch his face. After you get married and come back, you will also be the lady in charge with Ruier. I will send it when there is a suitable errand. you. "

Yue Gui was relieved, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.But Rui'er was listening, but her complexion suddenly changed, but Liu Li was sitting and didn't see it.

Qi Yunhao's birthday is over, and the New Year is approaching, and on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything has finally been prepared.Liuli double-checked it several times and asked Fan Yun to look at it to make sure there were no omissions, so she settled down to ask about Ruyi's affairs.

It is said that ever since Qi Yunjing passed Ruyi's matter through the Ming Road, He Yuhua has frequently rested in the Ruyi courtyard these few days. He Yuhua was so angry that he even secretly sent someone to follow Qi Yunjing, but Qi Yunjing also led soldiers Knowing that there are people who follow her and got rid of them long ago, He Yuhua has not been able to find Ruyi's exact residence until now.

Liuli asked Ruier to go to Ruyi to ask for news, but at this time Haitang suddenly brought Bingling.

"Grandma, there is indeed something wrong with Hanxue." Bingling pretended to get the monthly money and entered the glass room door, and blurted out when she saw no one around.
