Liu Yi suddenly hugged Mai Xiang, causing all the servants in the Prince's Mansion to whisper.
"Ahem!" Chu Yiqing stood aside and coughed twice, reminding the two of them in a low voice.
Liu Yi seemed to have just reacted. He quickly raised his eyes, saw Chu Yiqing, strode forward, knelt on one leg in front of Chu Yiqing, and said with uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "Liu Yi has seen Aunt Chu in charge of Guangming
Please read the full text! How is Aunt Chu’s health always?”
Chu Yiqing nodded lightly and quickly asked him to get up. He looked up and down and saw that Liu Yi's eyebrows had faded away and his figure was much taller than last time. However, the biggest change was in his eyes, which were calmer.
A lot, and a lot deeper.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "When I entered the city that day, I saw a figure that looked like you. I told Mai Xiang just now that it wasn't you. If it was you, why did you come today?" [
Facing Chu Yiqing's temptation, Liu Yi got straight to the point: "Liu Yi has indeed been in the capital for a long time, and he will arrive in the capital a few years ago, but he has been hesitant about whether to come to see Aunt Chu and whether to face all this!
"
Liu Yi said, turned around and took Mai Xiang's hand, and knelt together with Mai Xiang in front of Chu Yiqing again, and whispered: "Aunt Chu, I know it is really unreasonable to make such a request just after we met, but I
I have made it clear, I can’t wait any longer, please ask Aunt Chu to make things happen for me and Mai Xiang! I want to marry Mai Xiang!"
Not only did Chu Yiqing not expect Liu Yi's words, but even Mai Xiang, who was still immersed in joy, didn't expect it and was stunned for a moment.
Chu Yiqing frowned and said in a low voice: "Look at how reckless you are, how can you ask for a marriage like this? Come on, go inside first and let's discuss it slowly!"
Chu Yiqing quickly asked Yingrun to bring Mai Xiang in first, while she glared at Liu Yi sternly and turned around and entered the flower hall.
Liu Yi's face was serious and he followed behind him silently.
In the flower hall, Chu Yiqing withdrew the left and right screens, sat on a high seat, and looked seriously at Liu Yi, who was standing in the hall.
Liu Yi saluted again and was very respectful to Chu Yiqing.
"Liu Yi, do you remember the first time we met?" Chu Yiqing did not let Liu Yi sit down, but said calmly.
Liu Yi quickly said: "Of course Liu Yi remembers it, and will never forget it in this life! If Aunt Chu hadn't sold Liu Yi and his eldest brother to Shangjia Village that day, Liu Yi and his eldest brother might have passed away!"
Chu Yiqing nodded slowly: "I was deeply impressed by how wholeheartedly you protected your elder brother that day. I am also convinced that you are a child who knows how to repay kindness, so I will teach you carefully!"
Liu Yi saluted Chu Yiqing again and whispered: "Liu Yi's martial arts and knowledge were all taught by Aunt Chu. Liu Yi will never forget Aunt Chu's kindness in his life!"
"You and your eldest brother have a good background. I let you go that day, which can be regarded as the utmost kindness to you. I don't ask you to repay me. I just hope that in the future you will not point your finger at me like your eldest brother. After all, I have devoted so much effort to you."
Different from your elder brother!" Chu Yiqing's expression was still serious.
Liu Yi suddenly knelt down and said urgently: "Aunt Chu, Liu Yi will never do such an ungrateful thing!"
Chu Yiqing did not rush to let him get up, but said again: "You know that the Zhao family is kind to me, and I have affection for the Zhao family. Now, after so many years, I treat Sister Jinyu as my sister and Maixiang as my niece.
Look at it!”
Liu Yi quickly replied: "Liu Yi knows!"
"You and Mai Xiang can be considered childhood sweethearts. When you were just a little slave, Mai Xiang didn't dislike you. But now that you have become King Huinan of Rao Kingdom, you really shouldn't tease her like this!" Chu
Yiqing's voice became more and more severe.
Liu Yi quickly said: "Aunt Chu, Liu Yi definitely has no intention of teasing or teasing Mai Xiang. It's too late for Liu Yi to protect Mai Xiang, so how could he..."
"Care for her? Protect her like that. You have to know that this is the capital city. Because of my relationship, Mai Xiang has attracted more attention. Just now you held her in your arms and proposed marriage to me. Don't let me know for a while.
Let’s talk about how big of an impact this incident will have when word spreads. Let’s talk about Mai Xiang, if you tease her like this, can you really give her the happiness she wants? Can you take her to be the princess of Rao Country or can you stay in Rao Country and be with her?
Is she staying together?" Chu Yiqing asked coldly.[
Liu Yi quickly kowtowed again, raised his eyes and said: "Aunt Chu, I admit that I was a little irrational just now, but I have waited too long for this day, and as soon as I saw Mai Xiang... Aunt Chu, I have left the royal family of Rao Kingdom.
, Eldest brother has already expelled me from the Rao Kingdom. I came here this time just because I want to marry Mai Xiang, and we will grow old together in the Li Kingdom and grow up in the old Yuhai officialdom. Read the full text!"
Chu Yiqing frowned and couldn't believe what Liu Yi said: "What did you say? Liu Gan expelled you from Rao Country?"
Liu Yi nodded quickly and said: "I couldn't believe it before. I thought this was my elder brother's conspiracy, maybe he just wanted to use me to achieve some purpose, so even when I left Rao Kingdom and arrived in the capital, I hid it in an inn.
I only dare to come to the Prince's Mansion at night to visit Mai Xiang quietly. But last night, I got the news that my eldest brother sent people to sneak attack on the holy spring, and they were severely damaged. Only then did I confirm that my eldest brother wanted to use the holy spring to achieve relief.
The drought situation in the country has left me no time to take care of me, and I also have something important to say to Aunt Chu, so I made up my mind to come to see Mai Xiang. I also wanted to take the opportunity to propose marriage to Aunt Chu and ask Aunt Chu to make the decision to marry Mai Xiang to me.
!”
"Liu Qian really sent people to attack the holy spring?" Chu Yiqing said solemnly, why did Lei Yuan have no news to report back? Is it still on the way?
"It's absolutely true!" Liu Yi said firmly, "And I have learned a little bit about my eldest brother's temper over the years. By doing this, eldest brother not only made the situation in Rao country turbulent and urgently needed external help to ease and consolidate the imperial court, but also had an affair with Aunt Chu.
It’s related to Queen Li! Brother, he has been treating Aunt Chu..."
Liu Yi paused for a moment and decided to continue, "Because of this, the Queen's sister-in-law went to the Buddhist hall alone to accompany the green lanterns!"
Chu Yiqing frowned. He didn't expect Liu Qian to be so persistent. Liu Qian didn't take it to heart in the end when she told Liu Qian to cherish the people in front of her!
"Get up!" Chu Yiqing's expression slowly softened. He stepped forward to help Liu Yi up and asked in a low voice, "Have you been hiding in the inn for the past three months since you came to the capital?"
Seeing that Chu Yiqing was no longer wary of him, Liu Yi immediately had a smile on his face and quickly replied: "I lived in the inn for the first month because I was afraid of being watched by my eldest brother, so I didn't dare to go out. After the second
In the next month, I sold some of the things I brought from Rao, collected a hundred taels of silver, and set up a small shop to buy some small items I brought back from Rao. The business was pretty good, and now I am in
We have bought a house in the suburbs and are being decorated. We will be able to move into it in a few days!"
Liu Yi did not ask to continue coming back to help Chu Yiqing. Now that he knew his identity, he did not want to cause too much trouble to Chu Yiqing.
When Chu Yiqing heard Liu Yi say that he had to sell off the items he brought from Rao State to buy a shop, he immediately frowned and asked in a low voice: "Liu Qian is really so cruel to you?"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "If big brother can really let me go, I will really be thankful to God!"
Chu Yiqing saw that he was a little afraid of Liu Qian in his words. Thinking about the relationship between him and Liu Yi in the past years, Chu Yiqing lost most of his wariness, and finally said: "Maixiang has been thinking about you these years, but it's just that The marriage I promised you doesn’t count, you still have to ask Mai Xiang’s mother after all!”
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Liu Yi knows that as long as Aunt Chu can agree, Liu Yi will go to Chu Han Shangjia Village to propose marriage in person, but with my current status, I am afraid that I am not worthy of Miss Maixiang!"
"If you really thought so, you wouldn't have hugged Mai Xiang at the door just now!" A smile gradually appeared on Chu Yiqing's face, "As long as you are sincere to Mai Xiang, Sister Jin Yu is not a The confused person will be happy with you and Mai Xiang!"
Liu Yi was overjoyed and knelt down again: "Thank you Aunt Chu!"
"Okay, get up, but one thing, let me tell you first, if you feel sorry for Mai Xiang, I don't care what your status is, whether you are a royal family member of Rao Kingdom or an ordinary citizen, you will never live to see tomorrow. The sun!" Chu Yiqing glared coldly again and said coldly.
Liu Yi quickly said: "Don't worry, Aunt Chu, Liu Yi will be devoted to Mai Xiang wholeheartedly and will never let him down!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "Okay, I'm afraid you and Mai Xiang have a lot to say. Go ahead and let Mai Xiang come see me later!"
Liu Yi responded quickly.
Yingrun followed Chu Yiqing's instructions and took Liu Yi to the Crazy Mechanical Age in the backyard.
In the back room, Mai Xiang was in a daze, as if she couldn't believe this was true. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and had thought about it for a long time. She and Liu Yi thought that this life would be impossible, but she didn't expect that Liu Yi would actually Because of her, he left the royal family of Rao Kingdom![
The maid serving Mai Xiang saw that Mai Xiang had been in a daze and did not dare to come forward to disturb her. It was not until Yingrun brought Liu Yi over that Mai Xiang came back to her senses.
"Sister Yingrun..." Before Mai Xiang could finish her words, she suddenly saw Liu Yi's affectionate eyes looking at her. She was startled, her body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Maixiang!" Liu Yi quickly stepped forward and supported Maixiang.
Mai Xiang raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yi dreamingly. Their eyes were glued together.
"Ahem!" Yingrun coughed twice quickly, interrupted the two of them, and whispered: "Miss Maixiang, the madam said, let the young lady have a good talk with Liu Yi, the madam also said, this is the young lady's It’s a life-long event, and Miss is no longer young. Being able to make her own decisions, Miss must have figured it out!”
Mai Xiang quickly opened Liu Yi's car in embarrassment, nodded towards Yingrun and said: "I understand, thank you sister Yingrun!"
Yingrun glanced at Liu Yi again and whispered: "Miss Maixiang, your servant is guarding the door!"
Yingrun said, and went straight out, but the door was not closed, and she stood guard in the corridor outside the door.
Seeing Yingrun going out, Liu Yi stretched out his hand again. This time he didn't dare to make a mistake, but held Mai Xiang's little hand. The muscles on his face were trembling with excitement: "Aunt Chu agreed. Aunt Chu said that as long as you If mom agrees, we can get married!"
Mai Xiang raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who had been thinking about it day and night. It took several times before she was sure that everything in front of her was true. She asked in a low voice: "Are you serious about not giving up the position of King Huinan for me? Maybe you give up.
It’s the country of Rao!”
Liu Yi whispered: "What I want has never been a country, but a stable life, and you! Mai Xiang, maybe you don't know, those years in Shangjia Village were the happiest days for me.
I have enough food, warm clothes, you, and a big brother. Even though I was just a little servant at that time, I could sleep soundly and eat deliciously every day!"
Mai Xiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are so stupid, how can you be so happy just being a servant?"
Liu Yi nodded: "I'm really happy. Maybe you have a home since you were a child and you won't feel that way. For me, who has been wandering outside since childhood, it is hard to get a home! Because of this, it is difficult for me to transfer my family to my family.
Treat any place outside your home village as your home!”
"You have everything you want in the palace, you..." When Mai Xiang thought of Liu Yi's life as a master, she felt a little conflicted and wanted to withdraw her little hand.
"I never thought there was anything good about that kind of life. In the palace, even if you eat, you have to be monitored. You can only take three bites of each dish, and you can't eat more. You also have to restrain your emotions.
Don't let anyone figure out your thoughts. Every day of your life is like wearing a mask!" Liu Yi squeezed Mai Xiang's hand, not letting her have any chance to pull away from his hand, "Are you still there now?
Don’t you want to believe me? I gave up everything for you and came to the capital!”
Mai Xiang bit her lip and asked again: "Do you really not regret it? When you get tired of me, do you really not regret it?"
Even Aunt Chu, whom she admires the most, is not sure whether her uncle will regret it. She is just a humble country girl. How can she keep Liu Yi, a dazzling star?
"I don't regret it, I definitely don't regret it. Everything is my own choice! But you, you have to think clearly. Now I am not a prince. I don't have much money. I only have a small leather goods shop and a house.
In the suburbs, now that your aunt is the queen, are you really willing to marry a poor boy like me?" Liu Yi held her hand in front of his chest and asked urgently.
Mai Xiang laughed softly, "If you are really poor, you can go to my house and become my son-in-law and help my father manage the business!"
Liu Yi was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "If I were really that poor, I'm afraid my wife would not accept me as her son-in-law. Don't worry, I still have the gift money to travel to Linghu Chong!"
Mai Xiang blushed with embarrassment and tried to withdraw her little hand, but Liu Yi lowered her face and gently held her hand in his mouth.
Mai Xiang's face turned redder.
Yingrun watched from outside, curled her lips happily, and said with a smile: "Miss, if you have finished reminiscing with Mr. Liu, go and see the madam. The madam will return to the palace soon!"
Mai Xiang quickly withdrew her little hand, blushed, and responded quickly. After thinking about it, she suddenly pulled Liu Yi and walked out together, "Let's go to see Aunt Chu together!"
Liu Yi responded quickly.
Chu Yiqing was still waiting in the flower hall. When he saw Mai Xiang holding Liu Yi's hand and coming in together, he already knew the result.
"Aunt Chu, I want to marry Liu Yi!" Mai Xiang stepped forward and begged.
Chu Yiqing asked calmly: "Have you thought about it clearly?"
Mai Xiang glanced at Liu Yi and nodded: "Liu Yi even gave up the position of prince for me, what else should I think about? Aunt Chu, please help us!"
Mai Xiang pulled Liu Yi to kneel down.
"Look at you kid, what are you doing!" Chu Yiqing quickly stepped forward to support Mai Xiang, "Since it was your decision, you must be responsible for your future!"
Mai Xiang nodded quickly, but then said worriedly: "My mother's place..."
"If you have me with your mother, I will personally invite your mother to the capital to discuss this matter!" Chu Yiqing whispered.
Mai Xiang's face was full of joy.
"But now, Mai Xiang, you go down first, I have something to say to Liu Yi!" Chu Yiqing's face became serious again.
Mai Xiang's heart started to rise again, but Liu Yi nodded towards her and motioned for her to go down first.
After Mai Xiang left, Chu Yiqing stared at Liu Yi closely and said slowly: "Lucheng sent news just now. The Holy Spring was indeed attacked, but fortunately, the Holy Spring is still safe!"
Liu Yi quickly said: "But my eldest brother will not give up. The drought in Dongchaer is so severe now that the cattle and sheep are starving to death. My eldest brother will definitely find a way to win the holy spring!"
"I just plan to discuss this matter with you!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, "I believe you must have thought of a strategy before coming, and now I am willing to listen!"
Liu Yi was startled and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Aunt Chu!"
"You didn't say it before because you were afraid that I would misunderstand that you came to see Mai Xiang because of the Holy Spring thing, right?" Chu Yiqing slowly narrowed his eyes.
Liu Yi nodded.
"You can tell your plan now!" Chu Yiqing signaled.
Liu Yi whispered: "Actually, Aunt Chu has always had the idea to expand Rao Guo's business. Why not take this opportunity to negotiate with my elder brother? The water of the holy spring is inexhaustible. To Rao Guo
Building a few river embankments over there will not affect it at all. If it can bring peace to the two countries and the tranquility of the people, it can be regarded as benefiting the people!"
Chu Yiqing raised her eyebrows. She had indeed wanted to open the door to Rao Country before. After all, Rao Country's beef, mutton and fur were in short supply in Li Country. If the two countries could exchange supplies and jointly create a prosperous world, that would be a good thing, but
She really couldn't trust Liu Qian!
Liu Yi had been observing Chu Yiqing's expression, and when he saw Chu Yiqing's hesitation, he quickly said: "I know what Aunt Chu is worried about, but the situation is different now. The Queen's sister-in-law became a monk, which directly made Rao Guo basically unable to
Steady, although eldest brother sometimes does things unscrupulously, he is still a good emperor. I believe that eldest brother will not train the goddess without caring about the safety of Rao country! Besides, Aunt Chu, I am willing to be Aunt Chu's hostage, even though eldest brother will drive me out of Rao country
country, but we grew up together and came through hardships together, so there is no way my eldest brother will ignore me!"
"I want to go back and discuss this matter with the emperor!" Chu Yiqing whispered.
Liu Yi nodded quickly: "Then I'm waiting for the good news from Aunt Chu!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "I will arrange the matter between you and Mai Xiang as soon as possible, but before Sister Jin Yu arrives in the capital, you are not allowed to do anything transgressive with Mai Xiang. I brought Mai Xiang out.
I am responsible for the fragrance of wheat!"
Liu Yi quickly responded: "Liu Yi doesn't dare. Liu Yi will continue to live in the inn, and he will treat Mai Xiang with courtesy!"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "I believe in you, you can't let me down!"
"Liu Yi will never let Aunt Chu down!" Liu Yi promised again.
Seeing that it was late, and knowing that Li Huang must still be worried about Rao Guo's affairs, Chu Yiqing prepared to return to the palace.
Mai Xiang quickly sent it out.
"Okay, go back. I will come out to see you when I have time!" Chu Yiqing waved his hand and did not forget to tell Ying Qian, "I will send someone to look for the prince when he comes back soon. This kid went crazy as soon as he left the palace!"
Yingqian responded quickly.
Chu Yiqing returned to the palace first.
Abao is really having fun. He is very bored when he is not studying in the palace on weekdays. Today he can finally go out to play. Naturally, he has exerted all his energy. With the five kings behind him, he can't be low-key even if he is low-key. He walks through the city in a swagger.
, having so much fun, the last few people actually arrived at Prince Lei County's Mansion, went in to meet Lei Ting, and fiddled with Lei Ting's precious medicine storehouse for a long time, and then returned to the palace with satisfaction.
Chu Yiqing had guessed well. Li Huang was indeed worried about Rao Guo's affairs. The spies came to report that Rao Guo's army had set up camp at the border, and military rations were constantly being transported to the border. It seemed that Emperor Rao was determined to win the holy spring!
"Your Majesty, the Queen has returned to the palace. She said she has important matters to discuss with you!" Xiao Fuzi came to report immediately after receiving the order.
Li Huang closed the memorial and strode to the inner palace.
In the inner palace, Chu Yiqing had just changed out of the clothes he had worn out and put on a white corset with purple piping. He then put on a purple coat with a peacock embroidered with gold thread on the back, lying among the flowers.
In the middle, he was combing his black hair, and Li Huang came back.
Li Huang entered the room, took the comb from Yingrun's hand, stood quietly behind Chu Yiqing, and gently combed her hair.
Chu Yiqing originally lowered his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something, but suddenly felt something strange behind him, so he quickly turned around and struck Li Huang with a palm. Fortunately, Li Huang reacted quickly and dodged away.
"Why is it you? Are you not injured?" When Chu Yiqing saw it was Li Huang, he quickly stood up and asked.
"If you are so useless, how can I marry you back? Sit down quickly and you have to comb your hair!" Li Huang smiled and crossed Chu Yiqing's body to ask her to sit down.
"Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, you are still in the mood to play!" Chu Yiqing casually tied up his hair and fixed it with a peacock hairpin. Although it looked very casual, it complemented the clothes perfectly.
"Yes, it looks good like this!" Li Huang said with a smile, "Even if the enemy is at hand, there is still no shortage of time! What's more, if you call me here at this time, is there a solution?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Recently, I have been writing two novels. When I finished writing, it was time to pick up the children. I didn’t have time to thank you all for the diamonds and flowers. Well, thank you so much! Yesterday, I actually wrote a chapter worth RMB 6,000.
It failed to pass the review. Dear friends, I understand. I submitted it three times and deleted it three times. The little demon would vomit blood. Hey, what a harmonious society!
