boudoir

Chapter 361
Liuli stayed in bed for two days. During this period, Wu Zixin visited her twice to confirm that she had no postpartum sequelae. On the third day, she got out of bed and walked around.Huang Momo and the others meant that they should not get out of bed during confinement, but Liuli asked Wu Zixin, but she said that it is okay to walk around a little bit. She is thinking about Little Dulu, how can she lie down?So she got out of bed and went straight to the small wooden bed, asking Yue Gui to pick up the child and give it to her.

That day, Qi Yunke said a little Dulu, and King Dingbei nodded, and the nickname fell on the child.King Dingbei named him Qi Zishu according to his ancestry. Qi Yunhao didn't think so, but seeing Liuli nodded, he didn't say anything.After listening to Huang Nanny's words, Liu Li was afraid that the mother and child would not have a strong relationship, so she took her by her side all the time in the past two days, except at night when she should rest, so she asked Huang Nanny to carry Xiao Dulu to the next door.

Strange to say, she felt strange when she saw him for the first time, but when she saw him for the second and third time, the maternal love in her heart was gradually aroused, and it became more and more intense. He couldn't put it down like holding a heart.And Little Dulu is really cute, every time I see her, she smiles very sweetly, as if she already recognizes that this is her mother.

When Liuli was hugging Xiaodulu and kissing her, Qi Yunhao came in and saw her get out of bed, so she couldn't help saying: "Go to bed and lie down, the child can't escape. If you damage your body, it will be a lifetime thing It's gone." He couldn't help but hug her back to the bed, seeing that her eyes were still on Xiaodulu, and Xiaodulu was also staring at his mother eagerly, his heart softened again, and he sighed and hugged him to the bed Liuli at hand.

"Didn't you go to discuss matters with the prince? Why are you back?" Liuli remembered that he was also sitting here before, and was later invited by the people of King Dingbei. He won't be back until noon.

"The discussion is over." Qi Yunhao lightly touched Xiao Dulu's pink lips, watching him run after his fingers, "The discussion is about the three-dynasty banquet tomorrow. They calculated that there are only 95 tables, which is not a good number. It coincided with the meaning of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so we either added one more table or removed one. They didn't reserve the Huaininghou Mansion before, so I thought, why not just add one more table and invite Du Rui over."

Please Du Rui?Liuli's heart skipped a beat and she sat up unconsciously.

"why?"

"Because I think he is qualified to share this joy." He caressed the child's face and said slowly.He had heard from Lu Zhao that Du Rui was waiting for news outside the mansion on the day of Liuli's delivery and he was determined not to come in. If Du Rui could do this, why couldn't he be more open-minded?Du Rui and Liuli, one is a gentleman with a cold heart, and the other is a loyal and virtuous woman. It is his pride to have such a rival in love, so why is he worried about it?
"What about the prince's attitude?" Liuli asked.

"Of course he listened to me. It has already been ordered, and the invitations have already been delivered."

Qi Yunhao sat up, hugged her and the child into his arms, and said quietly: "I married you because I thought I would take away love with a knife. I have no regrets to have you treat me like this in this life. I am I don't mind having someone like him protect you and appreciate you with me, and I think he is the only one in the world who can treat you as wholeheartedly as I do."

Liuli's eyes were sour, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. The Qi Yunhao in front of her was completely different from the one who was concerned about these things before. His open-mindedness and ease seemed to be the best match for him in the impression. Such an upright and magnanimous man, That's what makes her surrender the most.

Du Rui also sat silently for half a day when he received the invitation letter written by Qi Yunhao himself.He admitted that he wanted to see her very much, and wanted to confirm for himself whether she was okay, but because she was his wife, all these thoughts could only be kept in his heart.Now that Qi Yunhao sent someone to send this post, it made him hesitate.

He didn't know what kind of psychology Qi Yunhao wrote to him. He remembered that he ran to the camp to look for him on the day of his high school exam, but he avoided it, didn't he?Moreover, the two times they met in the palace seemed a little awkward. From this, it can be seen that not only did he know what he was going to do with him, but he also knew that he always had that woman in his heart.That being the case, why did he still post a post to invite him into the mansion?Did you set up some kind of trap to embarrass him?

No, he believed he was not that kind of person.The Qi family has been established in the capital for several generations, and he, Qi Yunhao, is a world-renowned general who ruled the country. He has heard a lot about his deeds and met him a few times. He may be afraid that he is obsessed with Liuli, but it is not like this A narrow-minded and sinister villain, he wouldn't do this kind of thing.

Well, since it wasn't aimed at him, could it be that he was sincerely invited to go?Is he no longer guarding against him meeting Liuli?

He suddenly didn't understand this man.Logically speaking, if a man whose wife is missed by others, wouldn't he regard this man as an enemy who never gets in touch with each other?That's what Du Rui thinks. He regards Liuli as his lost wife, so he has never had a good face towards Qi Yunhao, and in his heart, Qi Yunhao must also think so, so he always feels that there is a relationship between them. There is never a day when we become friends.

The post in his hand made him really not so calm.

While Liuli was resting in the room, the mansion had already prepared the banquet for the three dynasties. This was the third time that the mansion held a banquet with nearly a hundred tables. This is the third time Yun Hao and Liu Li get married.And this time is obviously more grand than that of the big wedding, because this time it was King Dingbei who told him to go to Shandali, so in the past three days, the entire palace was cleaned, and the entire Dongfu was specially cleaned. After crossing the courtyard, there are eight courtyards in a row for banquets, and a kitchen with ten large stoves is temporarily built, and a chef who has been an imperial cook is invited from the outside to take charge of the cooking.

Because it was hosted by Dingbei Wang, the grandfather, Liuli did not propose to ask the chef to help Shangwanlou, so as not to show his identity and cause trouble to the shop at that time.

Besides, what surprised Liuli was that the sage, who was sick on the couch, did not forget to send someone to present the reward.There are many things to reward, 1000 taels of gold and silver each, twenty dendrobium of pearls, ten pairs of pure gold and jade necklaces of different styles, ten longevity gold locks, all of which are valuable treasures.Concubine Luo also sent 500 taels of gold and silver each, and ten dendrobium pearls, but there was only one set of collar and gold lock, and there were some novelty toys from the West.

Liuli hurriedly wrote a thank you note and sent it to the palace.Little Dulu was so favored by the emperor, she couldn't help but be surprised and confused. Not every son of a second-rank official can bear such an honor. Liuli worried that little Dulu would not be able to bear this sudden blessing. However, King Dingbei said indifferently: "No matter how much they give, they can afford it." With the old man's words, Liuli felt relieved.

The next day, on the day of the three dynasties' banquet, the number of guests who came was truly innumerable, ordinary guests would not be brought to the inner courtyard of the Chaoqing Hall, and only the ladies and noble ladies who had friendship with Liuli crowded the two rooms inside and outside. At that time, the Mei family wanted to receive high-ranking ladies in the Rongxi Hall, and the concubine Qi and the Luo family sisters volunteered to act as acting hostesses in the Chaoqing Hall.

The male guests are better. The Qi family has three brothers and King Dingbei, and Wu Zhong and his wife entertained those with lower ranks.What's more, there is Lu Zhao, the king of Dingbei lives in the Rongxi Courtyard, and he sits in the front yard of Chaoqing Hall. The male guests with titles are basically divided between these two, the old ones go to Rongxi Hall, and the younger ones go to the Rongxi Hall. Chaoqing Hall.

In fact, it would be far more than a hundred tables for all the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to come to the mansion, but because the Dingbei Palace has already stood in line between the prince and Lu Zhao, those who are attached to the prince automatically choose to ignore, and Dingbei Prince and his son Nor did they send invitations to these people.Therefore, the people who came to the mansion would not be entangled because of party affiliation. As for Shuhua, a relative who was close to Liuli but had a delicate position, because the Song mansion had long since defected to the crown prince, there was no invitation.

Zhongyonghou's mansion naturally did not come, and Qi Shi asked someone to bring a gift, but was also sent back by Qi Yunhao.In addition, Lin Weiran and his father came, Huanhua and Luo Mingzhu also came, Lu Muyang and Nie Jue, Lou Mingfang and her husband all came.The female relatives all accompanied Liuli in the inner courtyard, while the male guests also went to the front courtyard of Chaoqing Hall.

Liuli has been paying attention to whether Du Rui has come, and it is inconvenient to ask in public, but when no one is paying attention, she said to Rui'er: "The general said that he sent a post to Huaininghou's mansion, but I don't know if anyone has come?" Rui'er understood, and immediately went down to inquire.Just as she was walking out of the hallway, she heard the porter sing: "Scholar of the Imperial Academy, Master Du of the Marquis of Huaining is here!" Rui'er saw the person who came in through the door, handsome as a fairy, standing among the crowd like a fairy. It was Du Rui who stood out from the crowd!So he turned around and reported inside.

When the servants saw that Du Rui was actually present, they all looked this way.At this moment, Qi Yunhao was talking with Nie Jue, Lin Weiran and others in the front yard, when he heard that he was coming, he immediately got up and went to the second door.The two met face to face under the curved corridor, Qi Yunhao bowed first, and then said with a smile: "Why did you come here?"
Du Rui bowed silently, and said for a moment, "Congratulations."

Qi Yunhao nodded, "Thank you." Then he looked at the direction of the courtyard in front of him, and said to him, "Go and sit in the courtyard, Lu Zhao, Nie Jue and the others are all here." He knew that he was familiar with these noble children.

Du Rui also glanced towards the direction of Qingtang, and said, "I still have to go and congratulate the North King. I'll come back later."

Qi Yunhao stared at him for a while, and said sincerely: "You are always so scrupulous about etiquette, which I will always admire, and I will never be able to match you." After speaking, he smiled, and said: "You It's my honored guest, no matter, I'll show you the way and take you to see the old man."
