Chapter 72 The Royal Garden (1)
In Ningshou Palace, the father and son of the Liu family came to see the Queen Mother according to the order.
"The old minister brought his dog son to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager!" Liu Anguo and his son bowed to the ground to pay homage.
"The Liuqing family doesn't have to be too polite!" The Queen Mother and the Emperor quickly asked the Liu family's father and son to quit the courtesy, and asked the palace maids to give the two seats.
Since Liu Yixuan heard in the imperial study that the empress dowager wanted to choose a prince consort for Ling'er, he seemed frightened and didn't know what the old empress dowager intended. This time he took Ling'er to Junzhou privately and caused such a disaster, and he was inevitably scolded by the empress dowager again. The empress dowager was scolded by him. I don't know if Ling'er had been scolded, but this time he wanted to choose a prince consort for him. Could it be that the empress dowager thought she was causing trouble and wanted to marry her earlier? While he was hesitating, he saw the empress dowager coming to ask him:
"Xuan'er, you are becoming more and more ignorant! In front of your father, I shouldn't have said to you, but this time you left Beijing privately and took Ling'er out of the capital. What kind of morality is this to be heard by outsiders? Ling'er is a princess of the Song Dynasty and a girl's house. How can she ignore her reputation?" The empress dowager frowned, with a little blame in her tone.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager taught her lesson that Xuan'er knew she was wrong!" Liu Yixuan lowered her head and admitted her guilt.
Liu Anguo heard the Empress Dowager's words and felt disgraced, so he had to apologize. "The Empress Dowager calmed down. This evil son was not good. It was all old ministers who were unable to teach their children. When I went back, I would definitely give him the family rules so that he could remember more in the future and no longer do anything wrong!"
When the Empress Dowager heard that Liu Anguo was going back and wanted to do his family law, she couldn't bear it and said, "The Liu Qing family doesn't have to get angry. Xuan'er is still very young after all, so it is inevitable that she will be greedy for a while! Ling'er told me about their trip to Junzhou this time, and there is a reason for it, so there is no need to blame too much!"
It turned out that after Ling'er returned to the palace last night, she was called to Ningshou Palace by the Empress Dowager. Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, the Empress Dowager felt relieved. Although she blamed Ling'er for a few words, Ling'er also told the cause and effect of going to Junzhou, and also told the Empress Dowager about her experience in Junzhou. After all, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, she had already been half angry. When she heard Ling'er's experience in Junzhou, she also knew that they were framed by villains this time, so she was framed for deliberate rebellion.
When Liu Anguo saw that the Empress Dowager exonerated his son, he knew that the Empress Dowager was not really going to blame them, so he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't know what the Empress Dowager called him and his son to come to Ningshou Palace for, so he had to ask: "I don't know what the Empress Dowager summoned me, my father and son, and what happened?"
When the Empress Dowager saw Liu Anguo asking, she replied with a smile on her face: "Haha, I'm asking you two to come over this time. Are you going to discuss the happy event with Liu Qing's family?"
"Oh? Happy event? I don't know what the happy event was?" Liu Anguo guessed something in his heart. It was probably because the empress dowager wanted to discuss the marriage between Liu Yixuan and Ling'er with him.
Liu Yixuan listened next to him, and naturally knew it. Since the Empress Dowager told his father that there was a happy event, he thought that the prince consort Ling'er was the one whom Ling'er wanted to recruit! For Liu Yixuan, this was not surprising at all. Since the Empress Dowager let Ling'er live in her home, she obviously had a plan to give her a marriage. Of course, it was a great thing for Ling'er to marry her, but Liu Yixuan could not be energetic at all, and he had even greater concerns.
Several questions kept flashing in Liu Yixuan's mind: First of all, is Ling'er going to marry Liu Yixuan or Zhao Xiaojian? Although he borrowed Liu Yixuan's body, his soul was Zhao Xiaojian who traveled from the 21st century. Secondly, do he love Ling'er? Although Zhao Xiaojian does not fully know what love is, Ling'er's every frown and smile has been deeply engraved in his heart, and he can no longer leave her. Being able to spend a lifetime with Ling'er is naturally a beautiful thing he dreams of. But the problem comes again. After all, he is not from the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is still worried about his parents who are far away nine hundred years later. What should he do if he goes back one day? If my soul leaves, will Liu Yixuan die or live? Is he stupid or infatuated? What should Ling'er do then? Liu Yixuan's brain is about to explode, and he really doesn't know what to do.
The Empress Dowager was discussing the marriage of her children with Liu Anguo. Liu Yixuan was also dazed, but saw Ling'er's little maid Zhu Lian quietly walking in. The Empress Dowager asked her: "Zhu Lian, why are you here?"
Zhulian replied: "Go back to the queen, the princess heard that Master Liu is here, so let me... let me come and take a look!"
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager had known Ling'er's intention, she would have sent someone to inquire about her marriage. She said with a smile: "This girl is so clever and she has sent someone to inquire about the news! It just so happened that I have something to talk to Liu Xiangguo now, so you can take Mr. Liu out for a walk!"
Liu Yixuan took the words, stood up and followed Zhujian out of the door. Liu Yixuan asked Zhujian and said, "Zhujian, are your princess okay?"
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Zhulian replied without pain or itch.
"That...where is she now?" Liu Yixuan asked again.
"In the bedroom!"
"Where is the bedroom? Take me to see her. I have something to tell her!" Liu Yixuan asked her again hurriedly.
"The princess's bedroom is right next to the Imperial Garden. You will be there after a turn. However, you are a man, and men cannot go to the princess' bedroom!" Zhu Lian originally wanted to take him over, but when he thought of the rules in the palace, he refused his request.
"Good sister, I beg you. I want to see her now, so let me go!" Liu Yixuan hurriedly held her hand and begged her, as if there was something urgent to tell Ling'er. When Zhulian saw that Liu Yixuan was sweating, she didn't know what was going on.
"This is not OK, Mr. Liu, there are rules in this palace. I dare not take you to the princess's bedroom. If others know, they must hit me!"
Seeing that Zhulian was also embarrassed, Liu Yixuan said again: "Since this is not possible, please tell Ling'er, just say I want to see her, and I am waiting for her in my imperial garden!"
Zhulian heard this idea and it was still possible, so he nodded and said, "This idea is OK. Then Mr. Liu is waiting there, I'll tell us the princess!"
"Okay, then thank you!" Liu Yixuan quickly thanked her when she agreed to her request.
Zhulian had just walked two steps and turned around and said, "Young Master Liu, you'd better hide behind the bamboo forest over there, and don't let other palace maids and eunuchs see it. If they meet a stranger, they will come to ask about your identity!"
"Oh, I know, OK, I will pay attention. Please tell Ling'er quickly, I'll wait for her in the back of the forest!"
