"I don't know. I lost my memory." Zhuo Qing's way back is very smooth, this excuse is really good.
"Poor child, let the imperial doctor give you a good diagnosis and treatment another day."
Zhuo Qing said with a smile, "thank you, Empress Dowager." I'm a little fidgety. How long will this boring party last?
"Qingpin hasn't seen her sister for a long time. I must miss her very much. It's better for linger to live in the palace for a few days. The two sisters are also easy to talk." In Zhuo Qing shout boring, the Empress Dowager a seemingly considerate words, let Zhuo Qing goose bumps all over.
Zhuo Qing hasn't had time to say no, but Qingfeng is faster than her and says, "thank you for your kindness. The wedding is around the corner. My sister must have a lot of things to prepare. Moreover, it's not good for the wife of an important minister to go in and out of the Palace."
"Just leave those complicated things to men. However, what Qing pin said is also reasonable. Well, if ling'er wants to marry Lou Xiang, the court etiquette still needs to be learned. AI Jia wants an imperial edict from the emperor for you, so that your sisters can get together well. "
"Empress Dowager"
"OK, that's it." What else does Qingfeng want to say? The Empress Dowager waves and forbids her to say more.
Qingfeng seems to open her mouth. Zhuo Qingchao winks at her to stop her from talking again. After all, Qingfeng wants to live in the palace for a long time. Offending the Empress Dowager will only bring her more trouble.
Why did the Empress Dowager try to get her into the palace? Zhuo Qing thought about how to get out of such a dangerous situation. A high pitched eunuch came from far and near: "the East empress dowager has arrived."
Why another one?
The eunuch's cry came down, and a woman in dark red and gorgeous clothes entered the palace surrounded by eunuchs and maids. The well maintained face and tall figure make her look younger than the empress dowager, but in her early 40s, she is gorgeous and noble. By contrast, the Empress Dowager is much more simple and approachable.
Her sudden arrival made a group of concubines flustered. They quickly got up and said, "please, Empress Dowager. Please, Empress Dowager."
"Get up." Did not see the woman kneeling on the ground, Lou Suxin walked toward Yang Zhilan.
Empress Dowager Xi got up and said with a smile, "sister, please sit down. How can you come to me when you have time?"
"It's said that my sister is holding a banquet in the palace, and the AI family has come to join in the fun." Lou Suxin glanced at the crowd and asked casually, "where did you say just now? Go on."
It's a pity that everyone lowers their heads and no one dares to reply. Zhuo Qing is a little curious. Everyone seems to be afraid of her. Zhuo Qing is still watching secretly. Her hand is suddenly grasped. When she comes back to herself, she sees empress dowager Xi patting her and saying with a smile: "she's getting married soon, but she's hiding her bride so well. Today I invite her to the palace to have a look. It's really Huizhi Lanxin's good friend Girl, I like it when I look at it. Just now, we are discussing the emperor's order. Xuan ling'er can go to the palace to learn Royal etiquette and accompany his concubines. They have been away from home for such a long time. There must be a lot to say. "
Eyes just lightly float past her, Zhuo Qing suspects Lou Suxin didn't see her face clearly at all, with a bit of arrogance, Lou Suxin said: "it's this thing. As early as a few days ago, Xiyan told the AI family about this. He has been in bad health since he was a child. In this spring and summer, he is prone to get sick. Ling'er knows acupuncture and can give him treatment when he gets sick. He just begged me to let mammy Wu go out of the palace to teach ling'er etiquette. The AI family couldn't help but he agreed. "
The Empress Dowager obviously knew how to judge the situation. She turned the conversation and said with a smile, "it's so. Since it's related to Xiyan's body, it's just that. It's hard for my sister to come here. Let's have dinner together. "
"Good." The empress dowagers of the two palaces were sitting there, and the atmosphere that was still cheerful suddenly became dull. Zhuo Qing was in a good mood, which was good. Finally, no one bothered her any more. In the eyes of a group of women, Zhuo Qing finished the meal freely.
She was led out of Xixia Palace by the East empress dowager. She thought that the East empress dowager would say something to her. But when she got out of Xixia palace, she only looked at her and said, "the sunset is waiting for you outside the palace" and then walked away.
She is Lou Xiyan's aunt. It's not easy to guess the thoughts of Lou's family!
Zhuo Qing was led out of the palace by an old lady. Sure enough, she saw Lou Xiyan's low-key carriage. Instead of waiting here, he stood outside the carriage. In the moonlight, he was dressed in a plain white dress. He was as elegant as an immortal. He would be ashamed and filthy if he stood beside him perfectly.
See Zhuo Qing come out, Lou Xiyan welcome up.
"Long wait?" He was still at ease. It was impossible to tell from his expression whether he had been waiting for ten minutes or ten hours.
Lou Xiyan said with a faint smile, "it's just a while."
Well, he said for a while. Beside the carriage, I only saw Lou Xiyan and Mo Bai. Zhuo Qingqi said, "what about the end of Qing Dynasty?" Why don't you see Gu Yun.
"She came to tell me that after the Empress Dowager took you away, she left." When she came, she was in a hurry and even a little impatient. He thought she would follow her, but he didn't expect that she left quietly after she finished speaking. What a strange woman.
Zhuo Qing is used to it, Gu Yun should be in his eyes to see his calm, believe he can save her out will leave.Stretch, Zhuo Qing said: "it's late, go back." I'm very tired after a busy day today.
Zhuo Qing is ready to get on the carriage. Suddenly, her wrist is held by Lou Xiyan. Zhuo Qing turns around and looks at him with a puzzled look. Lou Xiyan stares at him seriously and asks, "don't you have anything to ask me?"
Zhuo Qing thought for a while, then said, "what should I ask you?"
"You can be angry. I didn't go to the palace to find you. You stayed in the palace alone for so long." Holding her hand tightly, Lou Xiyan's deep eyes watched her deeply.
It turns out that what he said is this. Lou Xiyan's slightly nervous expression pleases Zhuo Qing. She admits that her vanity is satisfied, but she is not interested in taking this opportunity to act coquettishly and show her sympathy. With a little smile, Zhuo Qing frankly said her attitude: "the Empress Dowager 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 harem. If you really go to pick me up, you'll be in a real situation. You also asked the Empress Dowager Dong to come and 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 like wolves and tigers with bad intentions, it's a pity that I'm not a little white rabbit. You can rest assured. "
Her smiling eyes were in high spirits, and her lips were smiling. In the moonlight, there was no timidity on her face, and her self-confidence was even dazzling. Perhaps his worry is a little superfluous. He gently holds a wisp of her long hair scattered behind her and caresses her fingertips. Lou Xiyan says with a low smile: "yes, my spirit is a little fox."
Mine? It's the light doting tone, the intoxicating whisper, the dark hair winding in his hands, Zhuo Qing once again deeply felt the ambiguity around them, and her heart jumped out of control. Her heart changed after last night's kiss. But what does Lou Xiyan think?
She wants to 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!
Looking like silk like hair, the touch is as good as imagined. Lou Xiyan continued to play with it and said carelessly, "yes."
Gently pull back the hair, Zhuo Qing does not allow him to distract continue to ask: "and who?"
Lou Xiyan still has some meaning. The cool silk like smooth touch makes people linger. Facing Zhuo Qing's line of sight, Lou Xiyan generously replies: "you."
Zhuo Qing is funny: "why don't my client know?"
With an innocent frown on his face, Lou Xiyan replied, "you didn't deny that you are my wife in the hall. Doesn't that mean that you promised to be my wife?"
He pretended to be innocent! Zhuo Qing is angry and funny and roars: "that's obviously an expedient measure!" When he said she was his wife, he didn't get her permission, OK!
"Civil and military officials don't think so, neither do I
Is he cheating?! Is that a proposal? Zhuo Qing can't laugh or cry!
Zhuo Qing face disapproval of the expression does not hide, Lou Xiyan eyes a dark, low voice asked: "marry me very painful?"
Zhuo Qing shook her head and said frankly, "no, you are so perfect that people feel ashamed."
Is that an advantage? Deep eyes lock 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 their own charm, but they are trapped behind the palace wall, all belong to a man. She didn't know what they thought, but she couldn't let this happen to her. Zhuo Qing said, "well, my husband should respect me. They should support each other, take care of each other and trust each other. No third party is allowed. Of course, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth party are even worse! Do you think you can do it? "
"What you care about is whether I will take concubines in the future, right?"
Zhuo Qing's Frank nod is an unavoidable problem in this era. She is not interested in sharing him with others, even if he perfectly makes every woman's heart beat.
Lou Xiyan relaxed smile, for this problem does not seem to bother, calmly back: "My Lou Xiyan life will only have one woman, that is my wife."
Zhuo Qing surprised micro open mouth forget to close, with his identity, status, he did not need to please her and cheat her. Zhuo Qing once conjectured that such a gentle and elegant man might be different, but he never thought that he was so unique. A prime minister who has power over the government and the opposition will only have one woman in his life. This kind of commitment, not to mention in ancient times, is that any modern man dare not make such a commitment easily? How come she's not surprised!
Zhuo Qing's stupefied appearance made Lou Xiyan laugh. She once again skimmed her hair and played with her fingers. Lou Xiyan deliberately distorted her expression and said with a smile: "my little fox, do you need to be happy like this?"
With a light cough, Zhuo Qing finally closed her mouth and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was surrounded by a group of women just now. I was scared and over stimulated, and my facial expression was a bit out of balance. Please understand this expression as shock, thank you.""That's not exactly the answer you want."
"Yes." The answer is not that she will despise her affectation.
"What's the problem now?"
"What's the problem?" Zhuo Qing is at a loss.
"As my wife, you have any questions." Lou Xiyan asked naturally, but Zhuo Qing wanted to curse.
What's the answer to that?! "I have no problem. Please marry me!" Let her die, she can't say it!
Zhuo Qing lamented: "I thought you were a very romantic person. Now it seems that there are some mistakes." Although she hasn't been married much, has anyone proposed like this?
