Although Li Qing'an lives in Gao Lishi's Mansion, he has a lot of things to do when he comes to Beijing this time. He not only needs to report his work, but also seek support from Li Longji for his next plan, but also Li Heng's dispute over the East Palace. Although he knows it will be difficult to turn the situation around in a short period of time, at least he has to start a start for Li Heng, and in addition, it is his lifelong event.

He is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is still unmarried. In later generations, he is considered late marriage. Moreover, this is the Tang Dynasty. Li Heng is less than forty years old, his grandson is several years old, and Dugu Mingyue is also twenty years old, so he should understand the pressure she has been under, especially Yang Guifei's advice to him made him wary.

Just as she settled down at Gao Lishi's mansion, Li Qing'an went to the Lonely Mansion in Wubenfang. From a distance, he saw Dugu Mingzhu riding a donkey sneak out of the side door. Compared to two years ago, she did change a lot and became a graceful girl.

"Miss Three, you can't go out!" A black and strong middle-aged woman chased after her.

"Liu Erniang, please spare me! I haven't gone out for almost a month, so let me go!"

"No, I'll look forward to you, Madam's life, go back!"

The middle-aged woman rushed up, grabbed the reins of the donkey, and refused to let Mingzhu go.

Li Qingan coughed heavily and said with a smile: "Mingzhu, where are you going?"

Mingzhu was begging Liu Erniang, but suddenly she heard Li Qing'an's voice coming from behind. She turned around and shouted in surprise: "Brother Li!"

She didn't care that Liu Erniang would hold her little donkey, so she jumped off the donkey, and pulled Li Qing'an's arm and jumped up with excitement.

"Okay! OK!"

Li Qingan gently patted her head and smiled, "A seventeen-year-old girl, why is she still like a child?"

"I'm not like a child! I'm happy."

With Li Qing'an's arrival, Mingzhu's idea of ​​slipping out of the mansion was already out of the sky. She took Li Qing'an's hand affectionately and walked into the mansion while complaining to him.

"Brother Li, do you know? My mother always makes me go on blind dates in the past two days, and I'm so annoyed."

"Blind dates are a good thing!"

"What's so good! I hate those people when I see them. They all think they are romantic and elegant, but in fact they are so childish that they don't look like men at all."

When Li Qingan heard her talk interestingly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What kind of man is not childish? Are he like an uncle?"

Mingzhu spat, "Go! What uncle, are you an uncle?"

"Oh! It turns out that Mingzhu wants to marry me." As soon as he said that, Li Qingan regretted it. This joke was a bit too far.

Sure enough, Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red with shame. She dropped Li Qing'an's hand and ran towards the inner house.

"Pearl!"

Li Qing'an couldn't shout at me, so he had to watch her run away. He smiled bitterly, and kept treating Mingzhu as a little girl, and grew up unknowingly.

Wuyi and Rushi Ruhua's sisters both lived in Dugu's Mansion for the time being, but Li Qing'an came by accidentally. Mingyue took Wuyi and went out. The servants didn't know where they went. Although Rushi Ruhua was in the inner house, this was Dugu's mansion. He was not yet a formal son-in-law of the Dugu family, so how could he go into the inner house at will.

After sitting in the guest room for a while, Mrs. Pei hurriedly walked in. Li Qingan quickly stood up and smiled and said, "Auntie, it's been a long time since we saw each other."

It can be said that Li Qing'an is the person Mrs. Pei most looking forward to. Her daughter is already twenty years old. If she doesn't get married, she will be gossiped about it. Moreover, she feels that the current emperor is showing signs of falling in love with her daughter. Last time when the concubine celebrated her birthday, the emperor saw her daughter's vision was different. At that moment, Mrs. Pei saw a desire for possession in Li Longji's eyes.

She knew that if it weren't for Li Qing'an's sake, her daughter might have entered the palace at this time. It was Li Qing'an, a powerful local prince, that made the current emperor dare not act rashly for the time being.

What about that from then on? Mrs. Pei's heart was full of worries. It would be best to let her daughter go to Anxi with her husband. That would be the best solution. She didn't dare to tell her husband about this. She knew her husband very well, and maybe her husband would sacrifice his daughter for her future.

Mrs. Pei smiled and nodded and said, "General Li arrived yesterday morning! Where do you live?"

"Auntie might as well call me Qiro. Everyone close to me calls me that. I live in Kolis's house now."

"Okay, I'll call you Qiro from now on."

Mrs. Pei sat down and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence today. I asked the servant just now, and I found out that Mingyue and Miss Wuyi went out together. Maybe they went to the temple to burn incense. They had a good relationship and hit it off at first sight. I also hope that they can be as close as sisters in the future."

"It should be, Mingyue is a kind-hearted and kind girl. I came today, but I actually wanted to discuss the marriage with my aunt."

Mrs. Pei smiled. Li Qing'an was finally willing to propose it. She let it go and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, your marriage with Mingyue must be arranged by elders, but you don't have elders in Chang'an, so last time Mr. Gao took the initiative to propose that he was willing to arrange it for you. If you don't object, I will discuss the specific details with Mr. Gao's wife. In fact, it is quite cumbersome. I know that you have a lot of things in the court, so I won't let you worry."

Li Qingan quickly got up and gave a deep bow, "Thank you for your arrangement!"

Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "No need to be polite. If you have anything, go and do something. When Mingyue comes back, I will tell her that you have come to find her. If there is anything, I will let Mingzhu come to you."

Li Qingan understood what Mrs. Pei meant. She hoped that she would try not to meet Mingyue before getting married. This is also a natural person.

He smiled and said, "I understand what the lady means. I will wait patiently. I wonder if my uncle will come back then?"

"It should be!"

Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "I heard a news that your uncle Dugu has been appointed as the Minister of the Siong Temple and will probably be back soon."

Li Qingan was stunned. His mind turned very quickly. Is this a sign of the recovery of the Eastern Palace Party? But Li Qiu didn't tell him. He hurriedly asked, "When did my aunt hear the news?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Pei was in a particularly comfortable mood. She smiled and said, "It was the afternoon before yesterday that an official from the Ministry of Personnel came to his house and said that not only my master was promoted, but my younger brother Pei Min was appointed as the prefect of Qizhou. Now it is close to Chang'an."

"What about others? Does my aunt know about Wei Huan's situation?"

"I haven't heard of it. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel only talked about our family."

Li Qingan was a little confused. Is this the original East Palace Party restored or because of his own reasons, if the East Palace Party was restored, then the possibility of the Emperor Changsun entering the East Palace would be extremely high.

Thinking of this, he stood up and smiled and said, "Since Mingyue is not here, I will say goodbye."

"Okay! I won't keep you anymore."

Mrs. Pei sent Li Qing'an out of the yard and went back. As soon as Li Qing'an walked to the front of the mansion, Mingzhu rushed out of the bamboo forest next to the mansion like a deer, held his hand and smiled, "Brother Li, let me go out with you!"

Li Qingan stared at her for a long time. Is this the big girl who ran into the inner courtyard shyly just now? Why didn't she feel like it at all? She now turned back to the Dugu Mingzhu that Li Qingan used to be familiar with. Li Qingan suddenly relaxed his heart. This was the Mingzhu he liked, and then smiled and said, "Okay! I'll take you out, where are you going?"

"I will go wherever you go?"

Li Qing'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wondering what she was making again.

"Let's go!"

Li Qingan agreed happily, and Mingzhu jumped up happily, "Let's go!"

She suddenly turned her head and made a face backward. Liu Erniang, who was chasing her from behind, stared blankly, and watched Mingzhu pulling Li Qing'an's arm and jumping out.

"Brother Li, let me tell you that Lu Yizhong was so laughing. He thought I was an alcoholic. The next day, my mother went to Lu's house to save her. Do you know what Lu Yizhong said? He said, "Madam, don't lie to me. When I saw Ling Ai, I knew she was an alcoholic. She even called me a donkey. Does the lady think I looked like a donkey?"

Mingzhu couldn't stand up straight after laughing, and almost fell off the horse. Li Qingan was so scared that she held her back and said, "Don't smirk, it will be very rumored at that time, Chang'an will be full of controversy, saying that the third girl of the Dugu family is a drunkard. Let's see who dares to date you again."

"I don't want to go on a blind date!"

Mingzhu stretched her waist long and smiled and said, "It's so great as I am now. I can wear my favorite clothes, put on my favorite makeup, and have a party with my friends. I can breathe freely. The sky is so blue and the clouds are so white. This is the world of birds. I really want to become a little bird. Although the birds are small, they can have the entire sky."

"Okay!" Li Qing'an smiled and said, "Are you going to become a bird or go to drink with me?"

"drink wine!"

Soon, they came to Xishi City or Rehaiju. Now Li Qing'an knows that this is actually the secret contact point of Yinlong's association in Chang'an.

Li Qing'an pointed to the distant winery with a horse whip and smiled at Mingzhu, "Do you still remember this place?"

"Remember! You brought me here that year."

"You can bring your friends in the future, and I'll give you free."

"Brother Li, is this restaurant yours now?" Mingzhu asked in surprise.

"That's right!"

Li Qingan turned over and dismounted, smiled at a Hu Ji who was greeting him and said, "Are you Chang Gongzhu here?"

"General, I'm here!"

Chang Jin ran out of the door and said excitedly: "General, we are just about to find you."

"No, am I here?"

Li Qingan smiled and threw the reins to the clerk, and ordered: "Open a few tables for my entourage so that they can eat and drink enough."

He pointed at Mingzhu again and asked Chang Jin, "Do you know her?"
