Chapter two hundred and sixty-four
Nearly three months have passed since the New Year's Eve feast. The blue sky in Beijing is as clear as water, and the faint chirping of birds is endless. The streets are bustling with graceful beauties, handsome men, and the common people are in peace.
, there is a constant stream of hawking sounds, exquisite hairpins, rouge powder, and delicacies with far-reaching fragrance, so eye-catching, people come one after another. The people of the world are happy.
People have almost forgotten the great events that happened after the New Year's Eve feast, and everyone is living and working in peace and contentment under the rule of the Celestial Royal Family.
Without the intrusion from Prime Minister Lu's Mansion, Prince Jing's Mansion remained as peaceful as ever.
It was early spring, when all things revived and hundreds of flowers bloomed. After returning from Qishan Mountain to worship the God of Flowers, Liang Huanqing was at home as usual.
"I think back on this day last year, before I married into the royal palace, when I was worshiping the God of Flowers at Qishan Palace, Lu Huiling and Crown Princess Zhao Peiyu...hehehe..." Liang Huanqing sat under the peach blossom tree and drank the newly opened peach blossom wine.
, while smiling and chatting with Qin Ruilan who came to see him.
At this time, Qin Ruilan had become the first eldest lady in the capital, and her father was an important minister in purging the remaining evildoers. One month after taking the temporary post of prime minister, all the officials wrote to the emperor to straighten Qin Yuandao, and then, the plaque on the door of Qin Xiang's Mansion was also
Only then did I officially hang up.
"I think it has been almost a year since you married the prince." Qin Ruilan smiled and took a sip of peach blossom wine and praised it, "The peach blossom wine in the palace is indeed much better than the ones outside."
Liang Huanqing glanced at the wine glass in her hand, then filled her up with another glass himself, and then said with a smile: "How can the peach blossom wine in the prime minister's house be any worse than ours."
Qin Ruilan shook his head and said with a smile: "My father is diligent in his work and has a breeze on his sleeves. How can I get the best peach blossom wine? Since I took up the position of prime minister, I have to set an example even more. I saw my father's temples turning gray.
He seems to have aged ten years, it is not easy for him to be the prime minister."
Liang Huanqing nodded and said: "That's true. After all, the former Prime Minister Lu Gaohong did that kind of thing. Everyone will have a slight change in the Prime Minister's opinion. But fortunately, Prime Minister Qin is fair and honest, and he is a good man who serves the country and the people.
As for the official, Uncle Qin doesn't need to be so stressed at all."
Qin Ruilan sighed, then smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The war on the front line has already started. Has the prince sent a message saying when he will come back? It has been almost a year since you married into the prince's palace, and you haven't stayed with the prince often, have you? So big
You are the only one in charge of the palace."
Liang Huanqing's hand shaking the wine glass stopped momentarily. She was stunned looking at the colorful spring light on the lake. Then she came back to her senses, lowered her head and smiled, then turned to Qin Ruilan and said, "I'm not afraid of sister Ruilan's jokes.
The prince also sent me a letter home just a few years ago, but then there was no news. We ignored government affairs, and there were many things that the princess came to tell me specifically."
Qin Ruilan smiled awkwardly, reached out to grab Liang Huanqing's hand, patted it carefully, and said: "Your Majesty works diligently, and the war on the front line is tight. Even if I miss you, I naturally have no time to take care of you. But this is also what Your Majesty believes in you.
When the prince returns in triumph, you must let him accompany you well."
Liang Huanqing smiled. The wedding banquet that shocked the whole dynasty at first made everyone know that Qi Jingqin loved Liang Huanqing deeply. Even Qin Ruilan mistakenly thought that Qi Jingqin married her because he fell in love with Liang Huanqing. What a wedding that was so thoughtful.
No woman could bear to refuse, and because of the assassinations of Qishan Palace and Yunxiao Temple last year, in Qin Ruilan's eyes, Qi Jingqin definitely took Liang Huanqing to heart.
But only Liang Huanqing knew in her heart that Qi Jingqin was just afraid that no one would support him if he died. But now Liang Huanqing didn't put up much resistance. Now she and Qi Jingqin were in the same boat. Even if Qi Jingqin cheated her before,
That doesn't matter, Liang Huanqing is confident that he can work together through thick and thin.
Qin Ruilan thought that her words had touched Liang Huanqing's pain. After all, Prince Jing encountered a border loss just after they got married. He wanted to go on an expedition with General Liang. This was for the sake of his career and the country, but he left Liang Huanqing alone in Beijing.
Because of Prince Jing, he was framed by Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling and almost lost his life.
In order to run the palace and deal with many things, Liang Huanqing is no longer as relaxed as the eldest lady in General Jianwei. She has to be busy all day long. Qi Jingqin and Zhuo Qi are not around, and Liang Huanqing has to do everything.
One person can handle some small matters with Yue Bai's help, but after the New Year, many people came to visit the palace, and Liang Huanqing sometimes had to deal with several people a day. In the past, how could such a thing happen.
Seeing that Liang Huanqing only smiled and said nothing, Qin Ruilan changed the subject and asked: "How are the princess and Liang Ji doing recently?"
Liang Huanqing raised her head and looked at Qin Ruilan. This question was beyond her expectation.
At the feast that day, everyone could see that Liang Ji was a little different from Qi Wangshu. This was their first meeting since they parted ways in the palace. It seems that Liang Ji also had some regrets about what he had said before.
But Liang Huanqing never asked Liang Ji what he meant.
"I don't know. Those two people are always at odds with each other. Who knows." Liang Huanqing was helpless now. She knew her brother's temper. He was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. But she also knew how Princess Wangshu was.
, never willing to bow his head.
On that day of the feast, none of them knew what happened between Liang Ji and Qi Wangshu, and they never saw each other again after that.
"When I worshiped the God of Flowers at Qishan Palace, I didn't hear Princess Wangshu mention it. I guess it was because my brother went too far. Princess Wangshu didn't mention it again, and I didn't see her go to see her brother. Sister Ruilan, you also know, what about my brother?
People..." Liang Huanqing couldn't say any more.
I originally thought that Qi Wangshu liked Liang Ji, and wouldn't it be better if they kissed her again, but I didn't expect... those words in the palace must have broken the princess's heart.
Qin Ruilan smiled and said: "Wei Shen said that Liang Ji is in love with the princess. Not only was he worried about you that day, he rushed to Jingzhou as fast as possible. He was probably angry that Lu Huiling dared to set up the princess, and he listened to Zhao
Zhao said... That day the princess went to get the small statue of the palace maid, and Liang Ji hugged the princess. The war was tense now, and there would be many things happening in the court in the next year. It would definitely be inconvenient for Princess Wangshu to go to Liang Ji, and she would probably be embarrassed.
"
Qin Ruilan covered her mouth and smiled. She knew all this in her heart. She knew what Liang Ji was thinking, but she also wanted to know what Qi Wangshu was thinking.
People are always gossipy. Seeing Liang Ji being so entangled, Wei Shen also wanted Qin Ruilan to help inquire. If the princess no longer had any intention, wouldn't it be a failure to let Liang Ji down?
Liang Huanqing was a little surprised. She put the wine glass on the table, stood up and said, "Is this true?"
"Of course." Qin Ruilan smiled and nodded, facing the warm spring breeze, her smile was radiant, "Wei Shen told me this because he wanted to find out the princess's feelings for Liang Ji. As his sister, you can come
