In the imperial garden at the back, A Bao put on a white chef's hat and apron and put the meat skewers and vegetable skewers on the special barbecue rack. Sun Leisheng was doing it, sometimes applying oil, sometimes sprinkling chili powder and salt.
, the serious look of the two made Li Xin burst into laughter.
"Grandpa Huang, please eat some grilled eggplant. Don't eat the barbecue. Grandpa Huang is coughing. Eating too greasy food can easily lead to phlegm!" Abao first baked an eggplant slice and brought it to Li Li.
He nodded and took a few bites. It tasted very good.
"Is this called barbecue?" Li Li had seen it before at the entrance of Chu Han's Heaven and Earth, and asked with a smile.
Abao nodded and said, "This is a food invented by my mother. In the summer, people in Chuhan like to eat it. While eating, they chat with their family and friends and enjoy the cool breeze. It is very comfortable!"
Li Li smiled and said, "A'bao wants to go home?"[
Abao immediately shook his head and said: "The place where my parents and grandfather are is Abao's home. Abao knows that my grandfather feels sorry for his parents and Abao. It's just that my grandfather is the emperor and the head of a country. There are some things that he can't control himself."
That’s it! Now that grandpa is no longer the emperor, please relax and take good care of yourself. When Bao grows up, Bao will still be filial to grandpa!"
This time, A Bao used the word "Grandpa" to call Li Li firmly. Li Li was stunned for a moment, motioned to A Bao to come forward, stretched out his arm to stroke A Bao's head and said: "
Abao, you are smarter than your parents!"
Abao shook his head and said, "Abao is just a child. He is not as smart as my parents. But they are just like my grandfather. The older you are, the more you understand everything in your heart, but there are some things you cannot say out loud."
Li Li was stunned for a moment, carefully considered A Bao's words, nodded slowly and said: "A Bao is right, sometimes, the more adults you are, the more thoughtful you are, and it is not as free and easy as a child like you!"
"That's right! And Grandpa Huang, this palace is actually very depressing. If Grandpa Huang is feeling better, A Bao will take you around. There are many interesting places outside the palace!" A Bao revealed.
Smiling with white teeth and sparkling eyes.
"Walking around?" Li Li raised his eyes and looked at the palaces. Perhaps because of A Bao's words, a sense of yearning arose in his heart.
Throughout his life, he fought for power when he was young, and planned for the throne all his life. When he was old, he lingered on his sick bed, and he really didn't go out for a good walk.
"Okay, Grandpa Huang is waiting for that day!" Li Xin smiled and shook A Bao's little hand.
Abao nodded, suddenly raised his little nose, and said: "Grandpa Huang, the mutton is cooked, but you can only smell it, not eat it!"
Li Li burst out laughing and said, "Go and eat quickly. When Grandpa Huang is fully recovered, we will eat roast mutton with A Bao!"
Abao nodded.
With A Bao's company, Li Li's illness actually improved day by day. The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was also so happy that she rewarded A Bao several times.
In a blink of an eye, the day came for Princess Ruimin to get married to Lei Lei. The person who sent Princess Ruimin to get married this time was the Crown Prince of Dai, Rui Ao. When Li Huang received the news, he was a little surprised, because according to his people, he brought her back from Dai.
According to the news, Prince Rui Ao must have been in charge of the country for a period of time and was deeply loved by the ministers and the people. He will ascend the throne as emperor in three months. Even if Emperor Dai dotes on the princess again, Prince Rui Ao will not need to be present in person to send off the bride.
.
Because Prince Ruiao personally delivered the wedding, the marriage became even more grand. On the day of the wedding, everyone in the capital was ordered to hang red silk lanterns and hang red silk above the city gates. The people lined the streets to welcome Princess Ruimin.
At the gate of the city, Lei Yuan, who was preparing to welcome the bride, had a smile on his face. Beside him, Lei Yuan, patted his shoulder heavily and said: "Now that you are getting married, you are an adult. You can't do those ridiculous things anymore."
What's the matter, have you sent away all those belonging to Miss Liu and Miss Wang?"
Lei Lei squeezed his peach-blossom eyes and said: "Look at what big brother said, I have always been just a show off and arty. Where have I ever been real? If I hadn't been 'forced' to go to Liangshan..."
Lei Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you really don't want to, I won't have my own way!"
Lei Lei suddenly stretched out his arm, strangled Lei Yuan's neck fiercely and said: "Brother, after all, we are brothers. Now that your brother is being plotted to get married and have children, bid farewell to the unrestrained single life, you should comfort him at least."
Two sentences, are you still here to gloat?"
Lei Yuan backhandedly tapped the smile point on his waist. Lei Lei had no choice but to let go of his hand and begged for mercy with a smile: "Good brother, please untie it for me quickly. In terms of medical skills, I dare to be the first. No one dares to be the second."
Second, when it comes to martial arts, I am no match for you!"[
Lei Yuan untied him and whispered: "Today, for the sake of marrying Princess Ruimin, I will spare you for now. From today on, if you dare to have any dissent towards Princess Ruimin and provoke a dispute between the two countries,
, I won’t spare you even if I don’t do anything!”
Lei Lei hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I got it. Just look at my elder brother and you will know that such a cold elder brother loves his sister-in-law in every possible way after getting married, not to mention me, a good man who has always been submissive to women!"
Lei Yuan whispered: "I'm afraid that you are used to being submissive to women, and you still don't understand the key points in the future. From now on, you can only be submissive to Princess Ruimin!"
Lei Lei shouted loudly: "Brother, it is the Crown Prince Dai who should tell me this, right? Shouldn't eldest brother be on my side?"
Lei Yuan smiled faintly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard someone shout loudly: "The princess's wedding party has arrived!"
Lei Yuan and Lei Lei quickly stopped playing around and looked over.
Two hundred soldiers wearing national white armor were the first to clear the way. They had tall horses, bright silver armor, and long scarlet tassels on their spears. They were mighty and proud. They were followed closely by Princess Ruimin's Luanfeng carriage. Next to her was Rui Ao, who was wearing a dark cloud leopard cloak.
, sitting astride a sweaty white horse, revealing the purple standing python and white tiger armpit sleeves, wearing a silver crown with silk pearl hairpins on his head, a handsome face, extraordinary momentum, eight pure horses behind him
Eight golden nanmu carts were ridden by white horses. Various pearls, jades, silks and satins were placed on the carts, followed by two hundred royal guards. They were majestic and majestic. They really looked like a royal noble aura.
Lei Ao hurried forward and saluted first, then Rui Ao dismounted, stepped forward and took Lei Ting's hand and said: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to be polite. From now on we are a family, and I will entrust Min'er to you!"
At this moment, the curtain of the Luan Car quietly opened a small crack. Ruimin looked at Lei Ting who was standing with Rui Ao, and then "touched" his abdomen, his face was full of joy.
Lei Lei welcomed Ruiao and the princess, first went to the palace, met with Li Huang in the main hall, and then received the imperial decree and went to the county prince's palace to get married.
Taking advantage of the opportunity between Lei Ting and Rui Ao to meet Emperor Li, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor invited Ruimin to Ci'an Palace.
"Min'er, Auntie Huang has finally waited for this day. You finally came to the Ai family. It's just a pity that you didn't marry the grandson of the Ai family!" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor slowly stroked the tired silk on Ruimin's head.
Pearl Jade Crown said regretfully, "The little girl back then is getting married now. Looking at you, the Ai family reminds me of their youth!"
Ruimin quickly stepped back two steps and saluted: "Ruimin knows that Aunt Huang loves Ruimin, but Ruimin is really happy to be able to marry the man he loves! Aunt Huang, people from a family like ours can marry the person they like.
, is already a luxury!”
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was startled, and quickly stepped forward to help Ruimin up and said: "I used to treat you as a child, but now you can see clearly. This is good, and Aunt Huang will feel relieved!"
Ruimin was happy and hugged the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor tightly.
"The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor, the Crown Prince and Prince Lei have already left the main hall. It's time for the Princess to set off. We can't miss the auspicious time!" Nanny Zhu came in to report.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded and reluctantly watched Ruimin leave Ci'an Palace.
"Don't be sad, Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. This Princess Ruimin is married, not married off. She will stay by your side from now on. There will be many opportunities to meet her!" Seeing that the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was so sad, Aunt Zhu quickly advised her.
.
"You see, the Ai family is quite old and confused, isn't it!" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor quickly wiped her tears and asked, "Has everything been sorted out at the Prince's Mansion? Has the Queen sent someone there?"
"The Queen's people have been guarding the Prince's Mansion since yesterday. Everything is in order. The Queen just sent someone to say that the Queen will personally take care of the princess's marriage today. Don't worry, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor!" Aunt Zhu
Respond quickly.
"The queen knows what the Ai family is thinking, so good!" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, in the county prince's palace, Chu Yiqing personally took the people to check the items to be used at the wedding again, and asked Yingrun to see if the food was ready. He was busy, and all the lords and ladies came to congratulate Yang.
Madam also went out to socialize for Chu Yiqing.[
I heard that the queen personally took care of the marriage, and all the nobles from all over the capital came. Now everyone knows that the emperor loves the queen. Moreover, I heard that there was a big move in the palace a few days ago. These nobles
After everyone got the news, they naturally rushed to make friends.
Among the ladies who came this time, Lu Youli's wife and Lu Ningxin were also among them. However, it was known to everyone that Lu Youli opposed the emperor's appointment of Chu Yiqing as queen, so when everyone saw Mrs. Lu and Lu Ningxin, they were all dissatisfied.
Pay attention, there are still people discussing something secretly.
This time Lu Ningxin came, she was much calmer. Unlike before, she always had a smile as warm as the sun when meeting people. Now she just followed Mrs. Lu indifferently. Except for Yang Moer, she didn't interact much with others.
say.
This time it was Mrs. Lu who begged Mrs. Yang to come. Last time, she was reminded by Mrs. Yang and tampered with the ginseng tea that Lu Youli drank every day to make Lu Youli bedridden. After the incident, Lu Youli
Youli naturally found out that the relationship between husband and wife, which was not harmonious in the first place, became even more rigid. Lu Youli even moved to the study to sleep in the study instead of sharing the same room with Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu was alone in Lucheng with her two daughters before, and she had long seen through Lu Youli's rigidity and unreasonableness. Especially after the collapse of Lu Ningxin's marriage last time, she was dissatisfied with Lu Youli, who only talked about benevolence, justice and morality.
She is a flexible person but only has her own selfishness at heart. She has been extremely disappointed for a long time, so she is not very sad when Lu Youli moves out. Now she is just worried about Lu Ningxin's marriage, so she can see Chu Yiqing this time.
She wanted Mrs. Yang to intercede on her behalf again.
Mrs. Lu knew that these noble ladies would not pay attention to her now. She did not speak to anyone immediately, and just sat in the garden with Lu Ningxin. When Mrs. Yang came out, she hurried forward.
"Don't worry, I have told the queen about you before. The queen is a transparent person and will make arrangements for herself. But today is the big day for Princess Ruimin and Prince Lei to get married. Don't be anxious!" Mrs. Yang!
He hurriedly said that when he saw the lady of Liu Guogong's mansion coming, he hurriedly greeted her.
"Mrs. Liu, you are here too? What a distinguished guest!" Mrs. Yang said happily, and she was even more surprised when she saw Mrs. Xu next to Mrs. Liu Guogong.
This time, Mrs. Xu and Xu Yunxi came with the wife of Duke Liu. Duke Liu, like Duke Xu, were all heroes who made great achievements with Emperor Shengzu. Later, they all retreated bravely, leaving only titles and no real power. But this time
Liu Guogong is a little different. He is one of the few families in the Duke's palace that can inherit hereditary inheritance. Now, of the two sons in the family, one has been named the crown prince by the emperor, and the other is traveling abroad. He is considered to be the more prestigious among the idlers in the capital.
figure.
It is said that Mrs. Liu is very good at Buddhist practice and does not go out to socialize all year round. Now she is able to come, and she even comes with the Xu family's mother and daughter...
Not far ahead, Mrs. Liu Guogong was smiling and talking to Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Lu heard someone behind her whisper: "I heard that the young master of the Hua family in Lucheng, who is engaged to the Xu family, is the unofficial number one scholar this year. In addition,
Under the Queen's care in the capital, the Xu family has risen again, and you see, even Mrs. Liu Guogong has taken the initiative to make friends!"
Mrs. Lu bit her lip fiercely. Before, she took advantage of the decline of the Xu family to humiliate the Xu family in front of others, but she didn't expect that now the Xu family would suddenly stand up and become the object of everyone's clinging... She looked back.
Lu Ningxin, whose face was dull, was even more angry. However, thinking of Lu Ningxin's future, Lu had no choice but to drag Lu Ningxin along and follow the others to make friends.
