The first thousand one hundred and twenty-four chapters betrothed (four)
You Ge'er studied in the palace for several years, and in the following years, he often went in and out of the palace. His familiarity with the Imperial Garden was no worse than that of the Lu Mansion's garden.
A Luo is even more familiar with the Royal Garden.
However, today, when the two of them visited the Royal Garden together, they were in a different mood and felt very different from the past.
"Sister A Luo," Brother You chuckled softly, "the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are particularly beautiful today."
A Luo turned her head and smiled brightly at Brother You: "Are the flowers and plants just beautiful?"
Brother You'er's mind flashed, and he blurted out: "Of course not, you are better looking."
The smile on Ah Luo's cheeks deepened, and her eyes shone with joy and shyness: "Brother You, how come you have become glib and can speak sweet words? You must have learned it from brother Xiao Bao'er!"
Brother You: "..."
Ah Luo guessed right. One day before entering the palace, Chen Xiaobaoer came to find Brother You and specially imparted many tips and experiences, such as "two or three tricks to please your father-in-law and mother-in-law" and "four or five tricks to make your beloved fiancée happy."
etc.
Seeing Brother You's slightly embarrassed expression, Ah Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I was just joking casually, Brother You, don't be shy."
Brother You calmed down and looked up at A Luo.
Ah Luo was not shy and looked back with a smile.
After a while, it was Brother You who was defeated first and blushed first.
A Luo chuckled softly: "Brother You, we are already an unmarried couple. In two years, we can get married and become husband and wife. Are you happy?"
Brother You nodded: "I'm extremely happy. Feng Zhi, who granted me the marriage, arrived at the Lu Mansion. I was so happy that I didn't sleep well for several nights."
The corner of Ah Luo's mouth raised, playful and mischievous: "You and I are exactly the opposite. I sleep very sweetly and soundly every night."
Brother You is a bit shy, but Ah Luo has inherited the shamelessness of his biological father and mother... No, he is strong and confident. Therefore, when a boy and girl get along, it is Ah Luo who is more proactive and generous.
The female officials who followed far behind, many of whom had sensitive ears, suppressed laughter, turned their heads to one side, and pretended not to hear anything.
…
A Luo and Brother You walked slowly, looking at each other sweetly from time to time. When they reached a pavilion, they stopped.
The female officials and maids of honor stepped back a few meters away to keep watch.
Brother You said softly: "Sister Aluo, you have been in the government for half a year. How do you feel in the past six months?"
You Ge'er has not yet formally served as an official, nor is he qualified to enter the imperial court. He can only think of sister A Luo's heroic appearance in the Jinluan Palace from the words of his senior colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, and he feels quite regretful.
Ah Luo and You Geer grew up together. They have been very close since they were young. They talk about everything: "Last year, I was serving pen and ink in the Yiqing Palace, and I didn't say a word for half a year. After entering the Jinluan Palace, my father, the emperor, and my empress all told me
I must not be self-righteous. There are many important affairs of the country and the government, so I have to listen more, read more and think more. In the past six months, I have not spoken at the court meeting."
"However, it is not all without gain."
"At least, all the ministers are now accustomed to my presence. Next year, my father plans to let me learn some specific government affairs, probably to let me enter one of the six departments."
Stay by the emperor's side every day, face the ministers, listen to and learn from the government, and then learn to perform specific duties. The emperor always gives guidance and guidance.
This is the high-standard treatment only reserved for cultivating a heir apparent.
Thinking of this, Brother You felt a little complicated and looked up at A Luo.
Over the past year or so, A'luo has gradually gained momentum and become particularly perceptive. She looked at Brother You and asked softly: "Brother You, don't you like me like this?"
"Of course not." Brother You stared at his fiancée: "Sister Aluo, since I was ten years old, I have made up my mind that I will not marry anyone but you in this life."
"In my eyes and heart, you are always the only one. No matter what you look like, I like you."
Aluo's pretty face turned slightly red after hearing these words that expressed her true feelings.
Brother You's voice lowered and echoed in his ears: "Sister A'luo, you have worked so hard and endured a lot of pressure. I feel sorry for you, but I can't help you with anything. Besides, you are so outstanding, I myself
I feel ashamed and a little guilty. I feel that I am not worthy of you..."
A Luo interrupted You Geer angrily: "You and I are in love with each other, and we are also the most compatible unmarried couple in the world."
Brother You was like drinking a jar of honey. He was so sweet that he couldn't get out of his senses. He looked at A Luo dreamingly, and then kept giggling.
Under Brother You's eager and focused gaze, A Luo's cheeks also turned a beautiful blush.
The two looked at each other dreamily for a moment.
Brother You opened his mouth to break the silence: "Sister Aluo, no matter what you do, I will support you unreservedly."
No one would tell anyone about such things as establishing a reserve position.
Some words rolled around on the tip of A Luo's tongue, but she finally swallowed them back. A Luo smiled sweetly at Brother You: "These are the words you said yourself. You can't go back on them in the future."
Brother You's voice was soft: "This feeling and this heart will never change."
After expressing his feelings, Brother You suddenly laughed softly and said: "It's a pity that as a man, I can't get pregnant and have children. Otherwise, even this matter should be done by me."
A Luo was so amused that she giggled.
…
From this day on, Brother You would come to the palace twice every month to pay his respects to the emperor and empress, and also take the opportunity to meet A Luo.
Concubine Mei was also very satisfied with her future grandson-in-law. She praised her in front of Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi: "You have really good vision in choosing a son-in-law. Brother You is handsome, talented, and has good character.
He is humble and considerate of Ah Luo. Good! Very good!"
But Sheng Hong smiled and said: "I have a good sense in choosing a son-in-law, but I have an even better sense in choosing a daughter-in-law."
As he spoke, he gave Xie Mingxi an affectionate look.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled softly.
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Concubine Mei and Xie Mingxi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were lucky enough to be able to resolve the estrangement and get along well with each other. They were destined to never get close to each other. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law acting so intimately as if no one else was around, Concubine Mei felt a little depressed.
Of course, Mrs. Mei was already well-behaved now and would never show any signs of it. She smiled at Xie Mingxi cordially and said, "The queen is virtuous and capable, and she has kept the harem in order. The emperor is indeed blessed to have such a queen."
Concubine Mei showed her kindness, and Xie Mingxi naturally appreciated it and responded with a smile: "My mother complimented me so much, so I accepted it shamelessly."
After some joking, Concubine Mei talked about the marriage between Brother Lin and Brother Ting: "...the Mei family and the Liu family have been unwilling to agree to the marriage. Mrs. Yin personally went to the Mei family several times, and the Mei family met
The Prince of Fujian is so sincere in his proposal of marriage that he finally agreed to the marriage. The engagement will be held soon. The Liu family is still far away in Shu, what should I do with Brother Ting's marriage?"
