Liu Mingzhi turned around and glanced in the direction of the royal study as if he was feeling something. He looked at the backs of his uncle and nephew walking down the corridor leading to Fu'an Palace, shook his head casually, and continued to rush towards the palace gate.
I originally wanted to find the relevant secret agents who were lurking inside and outside the royal study, and ask what the uncle and nephew had been talking about before they left.
If you think about it carefully, there is absolutely no need for that.
The fourth child, Li Yunping, always had a consistent attitude towards me, which made me really unwilling to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.
As a person, it is better to be more open-minded.
"We respectfully see His Majesty out of the palace."
"No gifts, change your defenses frequently, and keep warm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After exchanging casual greetings with the imperial guards guarding the palace gate, Young Master Liu walked directly towards the direction of Suzaku Street in Changrenfang.
The first mansion on Zhuque Street in Changrenfang is Li Jingyao's Princess Mansion.
Liu Dashao, who rarely set foot in Changrenfang in the past, is now familiar with Changrenfang.
About a quarter of an hour later, Young Master Liu came into view with the closed door of Princess Mansion. He looked around at the people walking on the street, and Young Master Liu walked towards the gate of Princess Mansion in a swaggering manner.
go,
Stealing jade and fragrance also requires an atmosphere to enhance it. This is not the dead of night when everyone is quiet. Now it is better to enter the door openly.
After a few gentle knocks on the door, an old but energetic voice came from inside the door.
"Wait a mininute."
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the mansion opened a gap for one person to enter and exit, and the old slave guard of the princess mansion poked his head out.
"Who's here...Old slave Li Xun is blind, please see your majesty..."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and interrupted the old man's words: "Mr. Liu."
Li Xun nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I have met Mr. Liu."
"Can the concubine and Princess Yunchang be in the mansion? Liu is here to visit this time. I have something to meet."
"Here it is! There it is!
Your Majesty... Mr. Liu, please come into the house first, it's cold outside."
"It's time to work."
"It's your duty, it's your duty."
"Mr. Liu, please ask this old slave to guide you.
Xiaolu, go immediately and inform the Dowager Empress and the Princess that a distinguished guest is coming."
A young man sitting by the stove, flipping sweet potatoes, glanced at Mr. Liu curiously, put down the tongs in his hand, and trotted towards the inner courtyard.
"I know dad, I'll go right away."
Liu Mingzhi actually wanted to tell Li Xun that he was as familiar with the terrain of the inner courtyard of the Princess's Mansion as he was, but seeing Li Xun's cautious look, he still followed him in the direction of the inner courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.
Go.
The main reason is that he knows in his heart that such a joke cannot be made.
Liu Mingzhi pretended not to be familiar with the layout of the Princess Mansion, followed Li Xun around and around, and finally arrived outside the living room of the Princess Mansion.
Before entering the living room, Young Master Liu saw He Shu walking out from the back of the hall in a dignified manner with a confused look on his face.
"Li Lu, didn't Uncle Li Xun tell you the identity and name of your distinguished guest?"
"Mother Princess, my father didn't say anything, so he asked me to come here to inform you and Her Highness the Princess. They spoke in low voices in front of the mansion, and I didn't hear what they said clearly."
"No need to be curious, it's Liu who came to visit Madam-in-law."
Hearing the very familiar voice outside the hall, He Shu's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and her dignified posture seemed a little flustered. When she saw Young Master Liu walking into the hall door while speaking, he hurriedly came up to meet him.
"How do you spend your time in broad daylight... Ahem... My concubine Li Shi, He Shu, comes to see your majesty..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu who looked unnatural and smiled teasingly: "Mrs. sister-in-law, just call me brother-in-law."
"Okay, I've met my brother-in-law, so I'm polite.
Uncle Li Xun, Li Lu, you should go back first, and the Ai family can personally entertain the distinguished guests."
"Yes, Princess Dowager, this old slave is resigning."
"Dad, who is that distinguished guest who is a few years older than me? Why do you seem a little afraid of him?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Go back and guard the door."
The faint voices of Li Lu and his son could be heard outside the hall. Young Master Liu raised his hand and pinched He Shu's cheek quickly, then walked towards the chair in the hall in a familiar manner.
He Shu's slightly unnaturally pretty face immediately became flushed, and he looked at Young Master Liu who had already unceremoniously sat on the chair with his legs crossed and followed him.
"You want to die. Why are you coming here in broad daylight? If someone sees you, if rumors spread, how will you save the Ai family's face?"
Young Master Liu poured a cup of tea on his own to moisten his throat, and watched in confusion as He Shu kept looking inside and outside the living room, looking uneasy as if he had been caught in bed.
"Why can't I come here during the day? I have serious business!"
He Shu spat lightly and rolled his eyes silently: "Bah, when have you ever had something serious to do, isn't it always...you...you really have something serious?"
Liu Mingzhi shrugged while holding the tea cup, and looked at He Shugong's plump and voluptuous figure with narrow eyes.
"How should I put it? The business is not up to me, but to you, Shu'er.
If you want to do something else, in fact, I can force myself to do something improper."
"You! Dirty."
"Stop standing, sit down and say, this is your home, why do you look so guilty of committing a crime?"
He Shu walked over to the chair opposite Young Master Liu and sat down angrily. He looked at Young Master Liu who was tasting the tea carefully with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing here now?
Did Tao'er cause you any trouble in the palace?
If that's the case, don't get along with him, and I'll scold him for you when he comes back."
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu's slightly uneasy eyes, smiled lightly and shook his head.
"Stop thinking nonsense, this kid Tao'er didn't get into any trouble or make any mistakes.
This time I am here for the marriage of the two children, Jingyao and Chengzhi. I want to discuss with you what kind of customization should be used to prepare their wedding.
National wedding customization or private customization with three matchmakers and six hires?”
He Shu was about to pour tea, but he looked at Young Master Liu in astonishment: "Didn't you say a few days ago that you would wait until they were eighteen before they could get married?
Is it still early? Why did you suddenly mention the marriage of the two children? "
Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed before his eyes. Not long ago, in the Qinzheng Hall, the civil and military officials looked surprised and suspicious when they heard that he was going to transfer Qi Liang to Beifu to serve as the governor of the two houses. He nodded with half a smile.
"Three matchmakers and six appointments, plus all the trivial matters such as setting a wedding date, it will take some time.
After making the decision, don’t worry about whether to get married immediately or not. First notify the guests, relatives and friends who should be notified, so that they can prepare in advance to avoid having to rush to the capital in time to attend their wedding.
It is estimated that it will take about half a year to notify all the relatives and friends on my young master's side, Shu'er's mother's side, and the Li family's side.
No matter how busy you are with other things, the time is actually not that far away."
He Shu nodded blankly, and whispered in agreement: "You seem to be right, after all, it is the wedding of a prince and a princess, and the preparation must be cumbersome.
It’s really not too early to start preparations now so that they can get married.”
"It's good if you can understand. So I just want to ask you and Jingyao, will Jingyao prepare the Fengguanxiapei herself on the wedding day? Or will the dressing room prepare it for Jingyao?"
"Of course I sewed it myself. A woman's wedding dress is different from other clothes, so it only makes sense that she sewed it herself."
"Don't answer so directly!
This also depends on Jingyao's own intentions. Although you are the mother in this regard, you can't be too big and do everything."
He Shu lightly dug out Young Master Liu and said, "Jingyao learned to sew her own wedding dress from Shang Gong two years ago. Do you think this is what I promised for her?"
"So that's it. Since this is Jingyao's own choice, I definitely don't have any objections.
By the way, where is Jingyao?
I've been here for a long time, why doesn't she come out to meet my uncle and future father-in-law?"
"I went out in the morning. She said she was going to the clan mansion to find her cousin Li Xi. What she was going to do, the Ai family didn't ask in detail."
"Oh Jingyao is out!"
"Yes, if you are in a hurry to see her, the Ai family will send someone to the clan mansion immediately...ah...what are you doing?
Be honest in broad daylight and let me go."
Young Master Liu smiled as he watched He Shu being hugged into his arms unexpectedly.
Seeing how shy his cheeks were and how he kept struggling, he laughed.
"Now that we've finished talking about the serious things, naturally we have to talk about some less serious things."
