Chapter 48
"Qianqian!" "Girl!"
Seeing the little girl galloping towards him, the parents of the Liu family in the car burst into tears and waved their hands desperately.
The coachman flicked his whip, speeded up and drove over, parked the car a few steps away from Liu Ruoqian, moved the horse stool and placed it next to the shaft.
Liu Shan rode up from behind to catch up, got off the horse, and asked the little girl for credit with a smile: "Qianqian, I brought my parents here, so please praise me." "Brother, you are really capable."
Liu Ruoqian praised perfunctorily with red eyes .
Seeing that Liu Shan had no eyesight and was blocked in front of her like a mountain, she stretched out her hand and pulled him aside in disgust: "Brother, let me out, you are blocking me from seeing my parents." Liu Shan laughed loudly, and quickly moved
aside step aside.
The parents of the Liu family had already left the carriage and stepped on the horse stool to get out of the carriage.
Liu Ruoqian stepped forward and sniffed: "Father, mother, Qianqian misses you." "
Girl!" Father Liu kept wiping away tears, choked up and speechless.
Aunt Liu supported Liu Ruoqian's shoulders and looked up and down carefully for a while, seeing that she was well, she hugged the little girl into her arms, and cried out loudly: "Mother's precious girl, mother thought that she would be so beautiful in this life. I'll never see you again."
Liu Ruoqian hugged Aunt Liu back, her weeping voice was full of joy: "Mother, don't cry! Qianqian is fine."
Seeing this scene, Liu Shan and the person who got out of the back car Everyone's eyes were red.
Seeing people passing by at the entrance of the alley to watch the excitement, Liu Silin stepped forward and advised, "Qianqian, uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters-in-law have worked hard all the way, so let's go in and sit down and talk." "Okay, parents, let's go in.
" " Liu Ruoqian hastily let go of Aunt Liu.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a large circle of people around me.
The eldest brother Liu Shan, the second brother Liu Jiang, the newly married Liu Ersao, and the eldest brother's fiancée Lu Qiaolan.
I knew they would come a long time ago, but when I saw them, Liu Ruoqian was so happy that she almost jumped up and called out sweetly: "Brother, Brother, Sister-in-law, Sister Qiaolan!
" Having said that, everything is fine for the little girl now, but since she didn't see it with her own eyes, the big guy still couldn't help worrying.
Now seeing the little girl dressed richly, smiling happily, her pretty face is much rounder than when she left home, everyone finally felt relieved.
Seeing the little girl happily circling and shouting, the big guy laughed and agreed.
Under the guidance of Liu Silin and Liu Shan, a large group of people entered the door.
---
Entering the flower hall of the main house, after the mother and daughter cried, Aunt Liu remembered Qianqian's current status, and took the lead to kneel down to pay her respects.
Everyone also knelt down to salute.
"Mother, get up!"
"Father, get up!"
"Big brother, second brother, second sister-in-law, sister Qiaolan, what are you doing! If you don't get up again, Qianqian will be angry!"
Liu Ruoqian stopped This one, stop that one again.
Although Lingyan felt that according to the rules, everyone in the Liu family should see this ceremony. It can be seen that my master was angry and anxious, and there was no outsider in the house, so he hurriedly called Lingzhi to help everyone together.
When everyone was brought up, Liu Ruoqian lost her temper angrily: "No matter who I marry or whose daughter-in-law I am, I am the daughter of my father and mother, and the younger sister of my elder brother and second brother. Kneel down to me, a junior!"
Liu Silin was born in the capital and grew up at the feet of the emperor, and he has long been accustomed to such distinctions.
Now that his younger sister is a nobleman, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with everyone in the Liu family kneeling before her.
It can be seen that his sister was really angry, so he couldn't help but feel distressed, and he leaned forward and whispered in a voice that could be heard by two people: "The rules are like this, Qianqian don't be angry. Now you are just a noble person. If you are named a concubine in the future, or Entering the Central Palace, let alone ordinary people like uncles and aunts of the Liu family, even Xiangye and wives who have orders, will kneel down to you when they see you." Liu Silin did not mean to look down on everyone in the Liu family
. He just wanted to say that family affection belongs to family affection, but the gift of the emperor and his ministers belongs to the gift of the emperor and his ministers. If he wants the little girl to think about it, there is no need to get angry about it.
But Liu Ruoqian didn't like to hear these words, she turned her head and glared at Liu Silin: "Prime Minister Liu and the others kneel to them, it's none of my business. But I just don't want my parents and my brother and sister-in-law to kneel to me!" The blatant double standards of the little girl
, Liu Silin was speechless. He rubbed his nose: "Okay, as long as Qianqian is happy."
Seeing that he was standing by his side without any more verbosity, Liu Ruoqian added: "I don't want you to kneel either.
" Mind, but when Qianqian said that, he treated him as his own brother. This time, Mr. Liu was happy: "Success." After the
cola returned to music, Liu Silin still carefully reminded: "Qianqian, listen to my brother's advice, when there is no one, you You are a nobleman, you are the oldest, you can do whatever you say. But if His Majesty is here, for everyone's benefit, you still have to follow the rules." Liu Ruoqian thought for a while, nodded and said: "
That's natural."
She just didn't want to Father, mother and elder brother kneeled her, if they saw His Majesty, they should kneel or kneel. It's impossible for people to catch the faults of the family members and punish them later for some crimes. Then she is not a victim.
Seeing that she listened to the persuasion, Liu Silin was very relieved, and turned to the guest as the familiar one, calling everyone to sit down.
The crowd surrounded Liu Ruoqian, booing and inquiring again.
Seeing that the big guy wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and seemed to be very curious about her life in the palace, Liu Ruoqian briefly talked about her daily life in the palace.
Of course, nothing about His Majesty the Emperor was mentioned.
But the little girl just eats, sleeps, visits the imperial garden, climbs trees, and sleeps in the tree house. These trivial daily life are enough for everyone to be amazed.
"Qianqian, there are not many rules in the palace, how can you still climb trees like you are at home?" Lu Qiaolan was extremely surprised.
The imperial concubine climbed trees in the palace, and she climbed every day. She had never seen it in the storybook. Could it be that the storybooks were all lies?
"No other concubine in the palace climbs trees, only me." Liu Ruoqian smiled with her eyes bent.
Qiaolan asked again: "Then no one stopped you? If you do this, don't you violate any rules in the palace?"
Liu Ruoqian suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "There are many rules in the palace, but His Majesty said, I am happy That's good. The wooden house on the tree was made for me by His Majesty."
Now everyone was even more surprised, and the second sister-in-law of the Liu family who had just married said softly, "Then His Majesty must love Qianqian very much." The second sister-in-law
Liu After finishing speaking, she glanced shyly at her husband Liu Jiang.
Just like her husband dotes on her, she can do what she likes at home.
Seeing the newly married daughter-in-law looking over, Liu Jiang sneaked a step over, and gently took his own daughter-in-law's little hand, and the two looked at each other affectionately, shyly and timidly.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruoqian couldn't help but smile mischievously at the two of them: "Second brother and second sister-in-law are so loving."
Everyone's attention was originally on Liu Ruoqian, and they all looked at the newlywed couple upon hearing this.
Liu Jiang's ears turned red immediately, and he hurriedly let go of his daughter-in-law's little hands, and put them behind his back as if avoiding suspicion, and turned his head to look elsewhere.
Liu Ersao's fair and pretty face was flushed with embarrassment, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
The big guy laughed out loud in good faith.
Lu Qiaolan followed suit and booed: "Qianqian, you just saw it, you don't know, your second brother and second sister-in-law are all the way..., tsk tsk, we didn't even see it.
" Due to her current noble status, she dare not make jokes.
But she and Lu Qiaolan were familiar. After hearing the teasing words, she blushed and stretched out her hand to pinch Lu Qiaolan: "You are the only one who can tell nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth." Lu Qiaolan walked around behind Liu Ruoqian and hid:
" Look, if you do it, don't let anyone tell you."
Second Aunt Liu walked around Liu Ruoqian and went to pinch Lu Qiaolan, the two of them started arguing around the little girl, making the little girl giggle non-stop.
Seeing the three aunts and sisters-in-law laughing happily, everyone also roared with laughter. Ganoderma lucidum also slapped her hands and giggled.
Looking at this bustling scene, and that little girl who was smiling so happily, Liu Silin was a little moved.
It can be seen that Qianqian really lived well and was really happy during those years in Liu's family.
He sighed, and whispered to Ling Yan beside him: "I suddenly thought, maybe it's a blessing for Qianqian to live in Liu's family for so many years.
" For the future master who can even abandon his own daughter, and the wife who has soft ears and no opinions, Lingyan nodded deeply and said: "Yes, who can say no. It's just that I have suffered so much for you, master." Liu
Silin Suddenly smiled: "No, Lingyan, now I don't feel bitter in my heart, it's sweet."
---
After the two sisters-in-law finished their fight, Liu Ruoqian suddenly found that someone was missing. Where's Big Brother? Didn't my Big Brother come with you?"
Brother Liu laughed and said, "It's a pity that your Big Brother used to take you to play, but you didn't find out that he didn't come until now. If your Big Brother knew he wouldn't scold you ungrateful."
Liu Ruoqian smiled with her eyes bent, feeling a little guilty, but she would not admit it, instead she glared at Liu Shan: "I was not busy talking to my parents just now, so many people surrounded me all of a sudden, especially you, elder brother. He is so tall and strong, always blocking me, how can I see if my big brother is there." "
Hey, you unreasonable little girl, you are good at beating!" Liu Shan smiled angrily, "Only you Brother Da Mao's body, I can stop him!"
Seeing that the brother and sister were chatting about his younger sister's failed engagement, Liu Silin glanced at the Golden Wolf Guard in the yard, and his brow was sweating.
He originally planned to go to the Ministry of Households to be on duty, but after His Majesty went to meet Liu Shan and Li Damao, he was reassigned to the Ministry of Industry to repair the moat.
Although whether it is going to the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is a kind of experience for him who has just stepped into his official career.
Coupled with the renovation drawings drawn by His Majesty himself, it is enough to see that His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, but he has inevitably pondered a lot these days.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that His Majesty's indifferent attitude towards him that day and his sudden change of position must have something to do with him bringing Brother Da Mao to see Qianqian.
One of the most taboo things for His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Emperor is that his concubines have anything to do with other men.
Seeing that the brothers and sisters were still talking nonsense, Liu Silin hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Liu, didn't your Majesty allow Brother Da Mao to return to the military camp after your marriage, why didn't he come to Beijing together this time?" Seeing Liu
Silin
also When asked, Liu Shan hurriedly answered: "Uncle Li is Brother Da Mao's father. A few days ago, he went to the mountain to collect medicine, and accidentally fell and hurt his leg. Brother Da Mao stayed at home to serve for a while, and he will come back later." "
Liu Ruoqian hurriedly asked: "Uncle Li's injury is serious?"
Liu Shan replied: "It's nothing serious, but it takes a while to heal after a hundred days of injury. But don't worry Qianqian, Ermao Sanmao and the others can take care of them, and your elder brother can't delay his trip to Beijing."
Liu Ruoqian nodded: "That's good."
Last time His Majesty had a headache, she hurriedly accompanied His Majesty back to the palace, and hadn't had a good talk with Brother Big Mao yet.
She also wanted to test Brother Big Mao to see if he knew that she was a ginseng essence.
Everyone talked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Liu Shan settled down first and prepared lunch.
Liu Silin only took half a day off, and was anxious to go back to work, so he also got up to leave.
Everyone in the Liu family enthusiastically tried to persuade Liu Silin to stay, but Liu Silin politely refused, saying he would come back another day, and left in a hurry.
Everyone in the Liu family sent him out of the door, and then took the servants to settle the luggage.
Liu Ruoqian followed him busy and wanted to help, but the big guys didn't need her, let her rest well.
Unable to intervene, Liu Ruoqian took Qiaolan to the side room, closed the door, and began to whisper.
Liu Ruoqian approached Qiaolan's ear mysteriously, and kindly imparted knowledge to her: "Sister Qiaolan, we were all wrong, do you know that you can't conceive a baby by kissing. You have to..., and then... to conceive Baby! You don't even know what a joke I made in the palace."
When the little girl finished speaking, Qiaolan collapsed on the couch laughing directly, unable to get up.
Seeing Lu Qiaolan whooping, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard, Liu Ruoqian instantly realized that Qiaolan had lied to her before.
The little girl was so angry that she rushed forward with a groan, held Qiaolan down, and beat her: "You bad Qiaolan, see if I don't deal with you!" The two girls were laughing and joking
on the couch for a while, when they heard Ganoderma yelling outside. After eating watermelon, the two got up and went out holding hands to eat watermelon.
---
By the time Lu Rengu finished his work, it was already dark, and everyone in the Liu family had already had dinner.
He came to visit quietly in casual clothes, and when he entered the door, only Zou Qi and Quan Fu were behind him, both of them had a lot of things in their hands.
Everyone in the Liu family was about to kneel, Liu Ruoqian remembered Liu Silin's words, stood in front of the crowd, and also wanted to kneel with a smile on her face.
Lu Rengu hurriedly stepped forward to hold the little girl's hand, and pulled her up: "Qianqian, get up quickly."
"Thank you, my concubine." In front of the big guy, Liu Ruoqian performed all the etiquette. Bless your body.
While the two were talking, everyone in the Liu family knelt down to pay their respects.
[Parents, mothers, brothers and sisters-in-law have all knelt down before His Majesty the Emperor, so this must be considered a complete courtesy. Hey, it's not good to find an emperor as your husband. ]
Listening to the nagging in the little girl's heart, Lu Rengu hurriedly let go of her hand, took a step forward, and helped Liu's old man up with both hands: "My father-in-law, please get up quickly." Helping up Liu's old man, Lu
Ren Gu helped Aunt Liu up with both hands: "My lord mother-in-law, please get up quickly."
Helping up the two old men, Lu Rengu asked everyone to stand up again.
The titles of father-in-law and mother-in-law shocked everyone present.
Quan Fu let go of the snack box and almost dropped the box on the ground.
[My lord father-in-law, my lord mother-in-law, only the queen's parents can deserve such a title from His Majesty. Hey, it seems that I guessed correctly, His Majesty really intends to make Liu Guiren a queen. 】
Although Zou Qi was also a little surprised, he felt that the matter was still reasonable.
[Although this Liu Guiren has a cheerful personality and does not have the model of the Queen of the Palace, she can cure His Majesty's headache, and most importantly, she can make His Majesty happy. These two points alone are enough to sit on that location. 】
Everyone in the Liu family was stunned, still in a state of bewilderment, not knowing how to deal with such a title of His Majesty the Emperor.
Liu Ruoqian was a little happy to see His Majesty the emperor addressing her father and mother like the common people.
She rubbed her cheeks flushed, stretched out her hand to hold His Majesty's finger, and looked up at that pretty face, her eyes bent into crescent moons.
【Dog, no, Brother Agu is indeed a good husband. 】
Lu Rengu squeezed the little girl's fingers slightly, as a silent response.
Seeing that his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law were all so cautious, Liu Ruoqian took His Majesty's hand and walked into the room: "Brother Agu, it's so late, have you eaten yet?"
Lu Rengu nodded: "Zhen I've eaten. What did Qianqian have for dinner?"
Liu Ruoqian told Lu Rengu all the dishes he had eaten at night, with a cheerful tone.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was discussing food with his wife like ordinary men, everyone in the Liu family finally relaxed a bit and followed behind into the house silently.
Liu Ruoqian led Lu Rengu to sit at the top, and after Lu Rengu sat down, he said, "Everyone, sit down."
Then everyone took their seats one by one.
Liu Ruoqian introduced her family to Lu Rengu one by one, and everyone saluted again.
Lu Rengu glanced at Quan Fu and Zou Qi, and they put the bags and food boxes in their hands on the table.
Lu Rengu: "I came here in a hurry today, so I brought some small gifts as a kindness." "
Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Everyone hurriedly got up to thank, and then knelt down again.
Lu Rengu hurriedly stopped him: "Today is at home, so you don't need to be too polite."
He pointed to the food box on the table: "This is a snack made by the imperial dining room, bring it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law to taste, if you like it I'll send someone to bring it tomorrow."
Father Liu and Aunt Liu quickly stood up and thanked each other, until they sat back on their chairs, their heads were still sweating from nervousness.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruoqian couldn't help but sigh. Unconsciously, he picked at Lu Rengu's palm with his hand.
【Hey, Mom and Dad haven't even seen the county magistrate of Shihe County before, so you can't be nervous to see His Majesty the Emperor so suddenly. 】
【His Majesty the Emperor is sitting here, his parents, brother and sister-in-law are feeling uncomfortable, and they don't know when His Majesty the Emperor will leave. 】
Lu Rengu held the little girl's hand as if no one was there, and remained silent.
Father Liu and Aunt Liu looked at each other and communicated with each other.
[It seems that Qianqian didn't coax us, the emperor really treats her well. ]
[At first I thought that our Qianqian was ignorant, and was afraid that we would suffer losses if we entered the palace, but now I feel relieved. 】
The second elder brother of the Liu family and the second sister-in-law of the Liu family lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Tianyan, but their gazes coincided with each other, and from time to time looked at the hand that the two of them had been holding together.
[His Majesty the Emperor really dotes on Qianqian very much, he has held our Qianqian's hand since we entered the door. Qianqian was able to let go, without any twitching. 】
Sister-in-law Liu thought enviously, and couldn't help but glance at her husband, Liu Jiang.
Liu Jiang looked over tacitly, nodded at his daughter-in-law and smiled.
This is the second time for Liu Shan to see His Majesty the Emperor, and also the second time to witness how the two get along with each other, and he is still deeply moved.
[Although Da Mao has been kind to Qianqian since he was a child, it seems that His Majesty is also very kind to Qianqian. Qianqian seemed to like His Majesty very much, as if her eyes were glued to His Majesty, they hadn't moved away since he entered the room, tsk tsk, can the little girl be more reserved. 】
Lu Rengu listened for a while, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.
Especially when he heard Liu Shan say that the little girl likes him, he was very satisfied, so he showed a kind smile to Liu Shan. Inexplicably receiving a smile from His Majesty the Emperor, Liu Shan stood up from his chair in shock, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what your Majesty's
orders are?"
Amicable.
Liu Shan sat down in a daze.
【Rumors are harmful, His Majesty is such an approachable person, why are they spread so unbearably. 】
Quan Fu clicked his tongue when he saw it.
[In the court today, Prime Minister Liu was scolded bloody by His Majesty, but looking at the treatment of everyone in the Liu family now, Your Majesty really loves the house. ]
Seeing everyone sitting dryly, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Liu Ruoqian sighed in her heart, and picked Lu Rengu's palm: "Brother Agu, it's not too early, why don't we go back to the palace earlier?
" Waiting, and no one spoke, it's better to take His Majesty the emperor and leave first, so that parents and the others can rest earlier, they are all tired all day. 】
These words fit Lu Rengu's intentions, he got up and exchanged some polite greetings, took the little girl's hand and left.
Everyone in the Liu family sent the two of them to the gate of the courtyard, and watched them get into the carriage and drive away, they all breathed a sigh of relief, their tense backs finally relaxed.
Back in the main hall, everyone spoke with emotion for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
---
On the carriage, Liu Ruoqian hugged Lu Rengu's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and kept smiling with her eyes bent.
It must have been too happy, and I didn't think about anything, just giggling all the time.
Lu Rengu asked curiously: "Why is Qianqian so happy?"
"Brother Agu, my parents and my elder brother's sister-in-law are here. I will have a home in the capital to go back to." Rubbing against Gu's arm, his voice was sweet.
Lu Rengu patted the little girl's head, and said softly: "In the future, you can go back if you want, but you have to tell me in advance so that I know where you have gone, so that people can follow you and protect you." "Really
? Can I?" Liu Ruoqian raised her head happily, her eyes bright.
Lu Rengu held the little girl's face with one hand, and replied with a smile: "Of course, I am the emperor, so I can do whatever I say."
I have heard long ago that once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it would be extremely difficult for the concubines who have entered the palace to leave the palace again, but I never thought that she could leave the palace at will.
The little ginseng spirit who was born to love freedom was immediately elated, looking at the beautiful face of His Majesty the beauty who was close at hand, she pouted and leaned towards her. !
