Xiao Xiaolu pursed her lips and smiled, her face as red as a ripe shrimp, "About four or five years ago, I used to give porridge to the family. Seeing that his clothes were shabby and he was a scholar, I gave him money to support his education.
He passed the exam. In fact, he was not the only one I sponsored at that time, and I never thought about asking him to repay the favor. It was only after he passed the exam that he came to my home to propose marriage."
Mrs. Gu has heard it many times, and now she can't help but laugh and sigh: "I didn't expect it to become a marriage!"
Xiao Xixi was really happy for her sister. The whole family had a wonderful meal together, surrounded by laughter throughout the meal.
No one mentioned Xiao Xiaorou. Xiao Xixi knew without asking that Xiao Xiaorou's life would not be filled with so much joy and laughter, but this was her own choice.
Xiao Xixi thought that the days to come would continue to be peaceful, but Leng Moran was so busy every day that she took the concubines of the palace to play and learn to read.
However, the calm was soon broken.
Rumors began to spread in the capital that Leng Moran had been traveling around the world, and there would be murders wherever he went, and that Leng Moran would arrest people at will for merit.
As a result, Leng Mo Ran's reputation was very bad for a while.
However, Leng Moran didn't care, but secretly sent people to find the source of the rumors. However, the capital was not as good as other places, and it was difficult to find the person who spread the rumors, so the matter was shelved.
What was even more unexpected was that after this, the princes and princesses in the palace began to die one after another.
Emperor Honghui had only a few heirs, but he did not expect that in just a few days, two princes and one princess would die.
Even the fifth prince, born to a palace concubine, died just after giving birth.
For a time, people inside and outside the palace were in a state of flux. Emperor Honghui even called in his imperial advisor to pray for the princes and princesses, seeking God's protection.
When Xiao Xixi heard the news, the first thing she thought of was the original heroine Fu Qingjiao.
It has been almost a year since Fu Qingjiao entered the palace. I heard that she is pregnant again now, and it is indeed time to plan for her own child.
But for Fu Qingjiao to take action now, doesn't it seem too anxious?
It is not yet known whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl. Even if it is a prince, no one knows whether it can be raised successfully.
Now that Fu Qingjiao is so anxious, if she waits until she gives birth to the prince, she will probably attack the prince immediately.
Now that the prince is still young, no one can say what Fu Qingjiao will become this time, so he should be on guard earlier.
Xiao Xixi wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say. She hesitated many times in front of Leng Moran.
Leng Moran heard what she was thinking. Although he was curious about why Xiao Xixi thought Fu Qingjiao would harm the prince, he still chose to believe it and found someone to remind the queen.
Then she hinted to Xiao Xixi that the queen would be more vigilant, so Xiao Xixi put the matter down.
However, in the following period, Xiao Xixi was always in a heavy mood.
Fu Qingjiao is now in the palace, and she has no idea what Fu Qingjiao is doing. Is Fu Qingjiao not a demon?
Thinking of the way Fu Qingjiao looked at her after turning black, Xiao Xixi felt that she should let Leng Moran ascend the throne as soon as possible and then return to modern times.
However, if Leng Moran ascends the throne, the current emperor will die.
Emperor Honghui didn't seem to be in good health, but he probably wouldn't have died so early.
It is estimated that she will stay here for a long time.
The more Xiao Xixi thought about it, the more she became bald.
Just as she was about to pick up some useful things in the mall, Leng Moran sent someone to tell her that he would take her to stay at Qingshan Temple outside Beijing.
Xiao Xixi thought this was also a way to improve her mood, so she ordered the maids to pack their things.
However, she didn't believe that Leng Moran really took her to play. I'm afraid she had other things to do.
On the way to Qingshan Temple, Xiao Xixi asked about the purpose of the trip.
Leng Moran didn't hide anything, and told the truth, "A general who once fought with my father became a monk in Qingshan Temple. I want to ask him about some old things."
Seeing Leng Moran's openness, Xiao Xixi felt very comfortable. She said, "If I don't have anything else to do, I'll just go shopping around. I heard that the vegetarian food at Qingshan Temple is very good."
"Okay." Leng Moran finished speaking and looked at her gently.
Xiao Xixi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at. She coughed slightly and looked away, pretending to raise the curtain to look outside.
Leng Moran also knew that Xiao Xixi was always avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, but he was not in a hurry, as long as he confirmed her intentions.
When the carriage stopped in front of Qingshan Temple, Xiao Xixi realized that there were other distinguished guests visiting.
The guard guarding the door hesitated when he saw that the person coming was Leng Moran, but he did not dare to neglect and saluted quickly.
Leng Moran asked: "Who is here?"
"It's Fu Zhaoyi."
Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment before she realized who it was.
She is actually the heroine of the original text? Isn’t she pregnant? Why did she come to Qingshan Temple?
As she was thinking this, Leng Moran also asked the question that came to her mind.
Xiao Xixi looked at Leng Moran with some confusion, vaguely feeling that he seemed to be an expert in micro-expressions.
No! Maybe it’s mind-reading.
Yes, she can have a system. As the person that the system cares about the most, Leng Moran doesn't make sense.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xixi felt that she could figure out many things that she couldn't figure out before.
She was really too slow to react. She was clearly a book wearer, but she couldn't even figure out such a question.
It’s not entirely her fault, it’s mainly because Leng Moran didn’t have the ability to read minds in the original text.
However, the original text, Leng Mo Ran, cannot be seen.
Xiao Xixi looked at Leng Moran and said silently in her mind, "Can you hear my voice?" As expected, Leng Moran's eyebrows moved slightly. Although she quickly returned to normal, she could still tell that something was wrong.
really!
Xiao Xixi poked at the system: "Why didn't you tell Leng Moran that he had the ability to read minds?"
【Leng Mo Ran has the ability to read minds?】
Seeing that the system reacted so strongly, it didn't look like he was just faking it. It seemed like he really didn't know, so Xiao Xixi reluctantly didn't cause any more trouble with the system.
At this time, the guards guarding the door had already explained the situation to them.
It turned out that Fu Qingjiao had been feeling uneasy in recent days. After begging Emperor Honghui, she got the opportunity to come to Qingshan Temple to offer incense. She would stay in the temple all day, chanting sutras and meditating with eminent monks.
The guard was very hesitant. Leng Moran had a distinguished status, but Fu Zhaoyi was inside at this time. It would be inappropriate for him to go in.
Not to mention that the two of them were engaged.
But one cannot directly drive away Leng Mo Ran.
Just as the guards were hesitating, an old woman who had followed Fu Qingjiao out of the palace happened to come to the door.
As for whether it is really a coincidence, no one knows.
It’s just that the old aunt said she couldn’t miss the prince’s business. Since the prince also wanted to come and offer incense, she couldn’t stand in the way, so she invited Leng Moran to come in.
The old nanny wanted to take Leng Moran to the Zen room where Fu Qingjiao was, but Leng Moran refused, took Xiao Xixi's hand and walked away.
Leng Moran had no intention of concealing the purpose of his trip and went directly to see the general.
They were talking in the house, while Xiao Xixi was playing in the yard.
