Chapter 393 What a coincidence
Mrs. Lu quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Princess forgive me, we really can't do anything about this matter, so we have no choice but to ask the princess. I also ask the princess to give me a little bit of money. If the matter is completed, the benefits will be indispensable in the future."

"Ms. Lu, what do you mean?" Liu Li's face sank, "You give me a favor, and then let me and you cooperate to send the girl to the palace, and together treat me as that pimp What is it? What do you think of the Holy One? Maybe your Lu family is rich and powerful, but our Huai'an Prince's Mansion has a fief and a court salary, and we really don't lack this money! See off guests!

Liuli stood up abruptly and went into the back room.

Rui'er Yuegui quickly followed in, poured another glass of warm water for her and said, "This Lu family is really real, why are they all in such a shameless place? I think Concubine Qi must know that this family is unreliable, so I didn't come with her.

Liu Li's face was still calm, and she took the tea ceremony: "In the future, the Lu family will post posts, and they will all be sent back!"

As soon as Mrs. Lu was coaxed away, Little Concubine Qi came back.At that time Liuli was taking a nap on the couch, and didn't know she was coming, because little concubine Qi felt guilty and didn't let anyone wake her up, so she sat in the small flower hall for nearly half an hour.When she finally woke up, it was already sunset time.

Although Mrs. Lu is stupid, Liu Li has no complaints against Concubine Qi. After exchanging pleasantries with her, Concubine Qi showed embarrassment and said, "I'm really sorry to say that, I don't know if she is still I didn't give up. A few days ago, she invited me to meet you together, but I refused at that time. I didn't know that she would come alone, so I didn't say hello to you. I just heard that she got a shame from you After going out, I went to the palace to meet Princess Yu, and I came secretly."

Now that it's here, Liuli can't help asking: "What's going on with the Lu family, why do you have to send a girl into the palace?"

The little concubine Qi sighed: "Oh, now that things have come to an end, I won't hide it from you. Lu Wanzhen has someone in her heart. This Lu Shiyuan and his son and daughter-in-law are not satisfied with the man, because they want to rely on Wanzhen to enter the palace to stabilize the Lu family. Therefore, even if she cannot become a queen, I would rather send her to the palace as a concubine."

Liuli really didn't know that there was another layer, so she asked, "Who did she fall in love with, why did the elders of the Lu family disagree?"

"Well, he is the teacher who taught the children of the Lu family calligraphy. His name is Chen Zhong. He came from a poor family. He used to be a small official under Song Bi of Zhongshu Province. Later, when Song Bi fell, he was also implicated and dismissed because of his knowledge. Not bad, so I was recommended to be a teacher in Lu's residence last year. I've seen him before, he looks eighteen or nineteen years old, he's still handsome, and his conversation is good, so Lu Wanzhen has taken a liking to him and vowed to die. Refuse to enter the palace."

Liuli thought about it, since Lu Wanzhen has someone in her heart, she cannot be allowed to enter the palace, and she must not turn around and cause something to make Lu Zhaobai wear a hat that destroys the marriage.Then I heard that he is Song Bi's subordinate, and now the Song government is resuming the post only by Song Pi, but he has let his foreigner become the county magistrate, and he has to wait for his three-year term to see his achievements before being transferred back to Beijing. Decide.When Lu Zhao heard about this relationship, he was afraid that he would not like the Lu family even more, and this matter cannot be resolved.

Concubine said: "What is Mrs. Lu going to do with Princess Yu? Could it be that she still wants the princess to find a way?"

"I didn't hear what was said specifically, but that's what the left and right mean." Little Concubine Qi opened the tea and said.

Liuli pondered for a while, hummed, and said nothing.

This matter has nothing to do with Liuli, as long as she is determined not to get involved with the Lu family, they have nothing to do.However, she didn't want to see Lu Zhao accidentally suffer this boring loss, so she told Qi Yunhao about it.Qi Yunhao will tell him.Lu Zhao knew that Lu Wanzhen had someone in his heart, so naturally he would not let them have any more chances.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and this morning, Liuli also got up early to go to Daxiangguo Temple.Qi Yunhao wanted to go to court early, and also got up early, seeing her yawning, he felt distressed and said: "Sleep a little longer, it won't be too late to accompany me when I come back early." The general had a lot of free time, he only had to go to the morning court every day, and then go to the camp for a job, and teach the soldiers some knowledge of the art of war every now and then. There was nothing urgent to do.

Liu Li said: "Worshiping Buddha requires sincerity, and of course you have to get up early. Let Liu Wei and Qin Jiang follow me. Just come and pick me up when you leave the court."

Qi Yunhao nodded, "Then go to the temple to have a vegetarian meal after worshiping, don't be hungry." After thinking about it, he walked back and said: "Shen'er, don't take it with you, that guy is too heavy, if you turn around and pester you Hug, you can't bear it."

Liuli said: "Got it. He, Huan'er, Ji Jun, Su Zhong and Su Liang are going to go fishing in the eastern suburbs with his third uncle in the afternoon, so they don't have time to pester me." Now Xiao Dulu and Rui'er's children are still alive. Min Hua's two sons play very well. They are all older than him and know how to take care of him. He is sweet-talking, and his brother and brother keep yelling, so they are willing to take him with them wherever they go.After Min Hua's two sons left the Ma Mansion, Min Hua officially changed their surname to Su in the Shun Tian Mansion a few days ago, because she was not the biological daughter of the He Mansion, and because she missed the Su family, she simply changed her surname to Su.Among the children, Su Zhong is the oldest and the best at caring for others, so he has become the king of children!

Qi Yunhao said: "Who is following?"

Rui'er said from the side: "There are Guo Zhi and the four personal guards of the young prince, there are two hundred government soldiers, and there are Huangmao Yumao, and Lily of the Valley silver bottle. The servants are praying for prosperity. Three Grandpa and Third Mistress, Uncle Nie and Princess Muyang, the officials and Mrs. Yu and Madam, they will all be taken there. Mrs. Yu and the princess know that the princess will not be going today, so they promise to take care of the little prince all the way."

Mr. Yu Shiqian of the Ministry of Officials is Lou Mingfang's husband. Of course, these people are friends of fate, because they know that Liuli is pregnant recently, and Qi Yunhao wants to accompany her, so he has not been notified of these recent activities, or Just come to the palace.Although Lu Muyang is more lively here, Lou Mingfang is steady and witty, and has become a mother, so it's no problem for them to watch Xiaodulu.

Qi Yunhao was satisfied, but then said: "Boys don't need to be too careful. As long as there are no major problems."

Liuli cast a duplicitous glance at him, but still turned around to put on makeup.At first she thought that she was the one who loved and doted on Little Dulu the most. Qi Yunhao is used to leading the army, so he must be very strict with him, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, as long as Little Dulu breaks the oily skin, he can feel sorry for him For a long time, although he would not express anything in front of the child, he had to express it to Liuli after closing the door.Liuli later felt that it was inappropriate to go on like this, but Qi Yunhao lacked fatherly love and motherly love when he was young, but it was impossible for him to be strict with Xiao Dulu, so he had to take the initiative to stand from the position of a loving mother to the position of a strict mother, and take on the responsibility of strict education Come.

After Qi Yunhao left, Liu Li also finished her makeup. On her head was a nine-winged golden phoenix holding a pearl and a five-color golden step shaker. She was wearing a bean-colored double-breasted small flower-wrapped jacket. Palace make-up.Rui'er saw that the sky outside was dark, and she was afraid that it was going to snow, so she wrapped a lying rabbit made of white fox fur around her head, and put on a black gold velvet ferret cape.

The two-door chariots have been prepared. Although today's trip is to abandon the sedan chair and use a car, today's big carriage is much more spacious than before. There is enough space in the car to accommodate ten people sitting or half lying down at the same time. There is a fixed soft couch, a table in the middle, snacks and tea, an ice basin in summer, a smoker in winter, and a dark cabinet with bedding under the seat. If she is tired, she will not rest here No problem.

The accompanying Yuegui, Fusang, Chunxiang and Dongmei all boarded the car, and Liuli asked Yuegui, "Has Jigeng set off?"

Yue Gui said: "Let's go, I should be on my way to the temple by now."

Liuli smiled, glanced at the cold street outside the car window, and chatted with the maids about the appearance of the capital.

Not long after arriving at the Daxiangguo Temple, the front of the temple is still empty. It seems that Concubine Hui and others have not come yet.When Liuli got off the carriage, the elders of the temple had already come out to greet her, Liuli joined hands to salute, and went into the hall together with the elders.

Daxiangguo Temple is a national temple, and relatives of the emperor usually come here when they want to offer incense.After Lu Zhao ascended the throne, the temple held a water and land Buddhist conference. At that time, Lu Zhao led all the important officials in the court to listen to the Dharma. Liu Li also came with the empress dowagers and concubines in the palace, so the elders actually recognized the Huai'an princess. .

After Liuli entered the door, the bellflower standing under the wall followed the flow of people without a trace.Accompanying him were several men dressed as civilians.

After entering the main hall to salute the Buddha, Liuli walked all the way to the main hall, Yue Gui came in and said, "Grand Concubine Hui and Prince and Princess are here."

Liuli then said to the elder: "The empress dowager is here, I'll go to meet her." The elder hurriedly led the way again.

When they arrived at the outer hall, Concubine Hui saw Liuli and smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that you also chose to come here today." Liuli greeted her, and then met with Prince Gong and Duanqing Princess Zhaoyang After saluting, he said with a smile: "This shows that there is a destiny. It seems that Prince Gong will live a long life and be safe and healthy when he goes to the fiefdom."

Concubine Hui took her by the hand and said, "Accept your auspicious words. Naturally, I am lucky to meet such a noble person as you. Cong'er must remember the benefits of Princess Huai'an. Apart from being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, she will return to Beijing in the future." Don't forget to go to the palace and walk around."

Although Lu Cong is a prince, he is young after all. Lu Zhao relied on the palace to become a superior, and besides Dingbei King Qi Yunhao and two generals who protect the country, Concubine Hui inevitably worries that Lu Zhao will target Lu Cong, making him in a difficult situation in the future , So these words are intended to let Lu Cong get close to the Huai'an Palace, and by the way, they also have a meaning of relying on them.
