Chapter 54

"I don't know. I lost my memory." Zhuo Qing's reply was very smooth, which was a good excuse.

"Poor child, another day I will ask the royal doctor to give you a good diagnosis and treatment."

Zhuo Qing replied with a smile, "thank you, empress." I'm a little upset. How long does this boring party last?

"I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time. I must miss her very much. It's better for ling'er to live in the palace for a few days. The two sisters are easy to talk." Just when Zhuoqing shouted bored, the Empress Dowager made Zhuoqing feel gooseflesh.

Zhuo Qing didn't have time to say no, but Qingfeng took a step faster than her and said, "thanks for the grace of Empress Dowager. The wedding is coming soon. My elder sister must have a lot of things to prepare. Besides, it's not good for my wife who is an important official to go in and out of the palace at will."

"Just leave the complicated affairs to the men. However, what the young concubines said is also reasonable. In this way, if the spirit son wants to marry the building and become his wife, the court etiquette still needs to be learned. The mourner asks the emperor for a holy edict for you, and enters the palace to learn the etiquette in a aboveboard way, so that your sisters can get together well. "

"Empress Dowager"

"OK, that's it." What else does Qingfeng want to say? Empress dowager waves her hand and forbids her to say more.

It seems that Qingfeng still has to speak. Zhuo Qingchao gives her a wink to stop her from speaking again. After all, Qingfeng wants to live in the palace for a long time. Offending the Empress Dowager will only bring him more trouble.

Why did the queen try to get her into the palace? Zhuo Qing thought about how to get out of such a dangerous situation. A high pitched voice from the eunuch came from far and near: "the East empress dowager has arrived."

Why another one?

The eunuch's voice just fell, a dark red dress ceremonious woman in the eunuch, the palace maid surrounded into the palace. The well maintained face and tall body make her look younger than the empress dowager, but in her early forties, she looks gorgeous and powerful. By contrast, the Empress Dowager is much more simple and approachable.

Her sudden arrival also flustered a group of concubines, and they hurriedly got up to say "good night to the empress dowager, and her ten thousand blessings are good."

"Get up." Did not see kneeling a woman, Lou Suxin walked toward Yang Zhilan.

The Empress Dowager got up to welcome her and said with a smile, "please sit down quickly, elder sister. How can you come to me when you are free?"

"I heard that my sister was having a banquet in the palace, and the mourner came to join us." Lou Suxin glanced at all of them and asked casually, "what did you say just now? Go on."

It's a pity that everyone looks down and nobody dares to answer. Zhuo Qing is curious. Everyone seems to be afraid of her. Zhuo Qing is still watching in the dark. Her hand is suddenly grasped. When she comes back to her senses, she taps her face and says with a smile: "the sunset is about to get married, but she hides the bride so well. I'm going to invite people into the palace to have a look. It's really a good thing for Huizhi Lanxin Girl, I like it when I look at it. Just now, it's under discussion to let the emperor make a decision. Xuanlinger can go to the palace to learn Royal etiquette and accompany his concubines. They have been away from home for so long. There must be a lot to say. "

Her eyes just drifted over her, Zhuoqing suspected that Lou Suxin didn't see her face clearly at all, and with some arrogance, Lou Suxin said aloud: "it's this thing. As early as a few days ago, the sunset said this to the mourner. Since he was a child, he was not very well. Once he arrived in this spring and summer, he was easy to get sick. The ling'er could acupuncture and treat him when he was ill. He just begged me to let mother Wu go out of the palace to teach the ling'er etiquette. The mourner could not wring his consent. "

The Empress Dowager obviously knew how to judge the situation. When the conversation turned around, she said with a smile, "it turns out that this is the case. Since it is related to the body of the sunset, it's all right. It's hard for my sister to come here. Let's eat together. "

"Good." Both the empress dowagers of the two palaces were sitting there, and the atmosphere that was supposed to be happy suddenly became dull. Zhuo Qing was in a good mood, so it was ok, and finally no one asked for her trouble. In the eyes of a group of women, Zhuo Qing finished the meal at ease.

She was led out of Xixia Palace by the Empress Dowager of the East. She thought that the Empress Dowager of the East would say something to her again. But when she got out of Xixia palace, she only looked at her and said, "the sunset is waiting for you outside the palace." then she went away.

She is the aunt of Lou Xiyan. It's not easy to guess the thoughts of Lou family!

Zhuo Qing was led out of the palace by an old mother. As expected, she saw the low-key carriage of Lou Xiyan. Instead of waiting here, Zhuo Qing stood outside the carriage. Under the moonlight, he was dressed in a plain white gown. He was as elegant as Xiandi. He would be ashamed to stand beside him perfectly.

Seeing Zhuo Qing come out, the building's sunset welcomes her.

"A long time?" He was still in a relaxed manner. It was impossible to tell from his expression whether he had waited ten minutes or ten hours.

Lou Xiyan smiled back and said, "just for a while."

Well, he said it would be a while. By the side of the carriage, I saw only the sunset of the building and the ink white. Zhuo Qing said, "what about the end of the green?" Why didn't you see Gu Yun's shadow.

"She came to tell me that the queen took you away and left." When she came, she was in a hurry and even a little impatient. He thought she would follow him, but he didn't expect that she would go away peacefully after she finished speaking. It's a strange woman.

Zhuo Qing is used to it. Gu Yun should have seen his composure in his eyes. I believe he can save her before leaving.

Stretch out, Zhuoqing said: "it's not early, go back." I've been busy all day and I'm exhausted.

Zhuoqing is going to get on the carriage. Suddenly, Zhuoqing's wrist is held by Lou Xiyan. Zhuoqing looks back and looks at him puzzledly. Lou Xiyan looks at him seriously and asks, "don't you have anything to ask me?"

Zhuo Qing thought for a while and replied, "what should I ask you?"

"You can be angry. I didn't go to the palace to look for you. I hurt you to stay in the palace alone for so long." Holding her hand tightly, Lou Xiyan's deep eyes watched her deeply.

It turned out that what he said was this. Lou Xiyan pleased Zhuo Qing with a nervous expression. She admitted that her vanity was satisfied, but she was not interested in taking this opportunity to play coquetry and show her sympathy. With a smile, Zhuoqing said her attitude frankly: "the queen mother just called me into the palace, but she didn't want to do anything to me. As a foreign minister, it's not convenient for you to go in and out of the palace. If you really go to pick me up, it's true. You also asked empress dowager Dong to help me out. That's enough. I don't think there's any reason to be angry. The most important thing is that I'm not so weak. Although a group of women are as hostile as wolves, it's a pity that I'm not a little white rabbit. You can rest assured. "

Her smiling eyes are radiant, her lips are smiling, and her face is not shy in the moonlight. Her confidence is even dazzling. Perhaps his worry is some superfluous. He gently holds up a long strand of hair scattered behind her, twists it around her fingertips and caresses it. Lou Xiyan says with a low smile, "yes, my soul is a little fox."

Mine? It's that kind of light doting tone, intoxicating whisper, dark hair twining in his hands, Zhuo Qing once again deeply felt the ambiguities around the two people, and her heart jumped up uncontrollably. Her heart changed after the last night's kiss. But what does Lou Xiyan think?

Will she continue to worry about gain and loss and keep herself in this passive situation? The answer is no!

"I heard you were preparing for the wedding?" She must ask him to say it first!

The hair looks like silk. The touch is as good as imagination. Lou Xiyan continues to play with it. He replies casually, "yes."

Gently pull back hair, Zhuoqing does not allow him to distract to continue to ask: "with whom?"

Lou Xiyan has more than enough meaning. The cool silken smooth touch makes people linger. Facing Zhuo Qing's line of sight, Lou Xiyan says: "you."

Zhuo Qing is funny: "why don't my client know?"

With an innocent frown on his face, Lou Xiyan replied, "you don't deny that you are my wife in the hall. Doesn't that mean you promised to be my wife?"

He pretended to be innocent! Zhuo Qing, angry and funny, yelled, "that's a quick fix!" When he said that she was his wife, he didn't ask for her consent!

"Civil and military officials don't think so, neither do I."

Is he cheating?! Dare to call that proposal? Zhuo Qing can hardly cry or laugh!

Zhuo Qing's expression of disapproval is not disguised. The look in Lou Xiyan's eyes is dim. She asks in a low voice, "is it painful to marry me?"

Zhuo Qing shook her head and said frankly, "no, you are perfect to make people feel ashamed."

Is that an advantage? Deep eyes locked her eyes, Lou Xiyan asked: "but, you don't want to marry me?"

Would you like to? Think of today's big table of women, they are enchanting and beautiful, they have charm, but they are trapped behind the palace wall, all belong to a man. She didn't know what they thought, but she could never let this happen to her. Seeing him in the eye, Zhuo Qing replied, "well, my husband should respect me. They should support each other, take care of each other, trust each other, and don't allow a third party. Naturally, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth are even worse! Do you think you can do it? "

"What you care about is whether I will take a concubine later, right?"

Zhuo Qing nodded frankly, which is an unavoidable problem in this era. She has no interest in sharing him with others, even if he perfectly makes every woman feel touched.

Lou Xiyan's relaxed smile didn't seem to bother him. He calmly replied, "there is only one woman in Lou Xiyan's life, that is my wife."

Zhuo Qing is surprised and forgets to close her mouth. He doesn't need to cheat her in order to please her with his identity, status and so on. Zhuo Qing once guessed that such a gentle and elegant man might be different, but she did not expect that he was so unique. A prime minister who is in power will only have one woman in his life. Such a promise is not to say that any man in ancient times, or in modern times, dare not make such a promise easily? How can she not be surprised!

Zhuo Qing's stupefied appearance makes Lou Xiyan laugh, and once again she skims her hair and plays with her fingers. Lou Xiyan deliberately misinterprets her expression and laughs: "my little fox, do you need to be happy like this?"

With a slight cough, Zhuo Qing finally closed her mouth and said with a smile: "sorry, I was surrounded by a group of women just now. I was too frightened and stimulated. My facial expression was out of order. Please take this expression as shock, thank you."

"That's not exactly the answer you want."

"Yes." The answer is not that she despises her affectation.

"So what's the problem now?"

"What's the problem?" Zhuo Qing is at a loss.

"Be my wife
