Li Qin muttered to his direct brother Li Yu: "My mother is like a madman. She insists on marrying Xie Zijin. She is just a little girl with yellow hair. How can she be so good?"
Li Qin had not been in the capital for several years and had never seen Xie Zijin's grace when he grew up. As the consort, Li Yu often visited the East Palace and had the opportunity to meet Xie Zijin from time to time.
Hearing this, Li Yu smiled: "You have never seen her. If you have seen her, you will know how good she is."
Li Qin's curiosity was aroused and he pretended to be casual: "After the Lantern Festival, I have to leave the capital to take up my post. It's a pity that I can't meet her."
The relationship between the Li family and the Xie family is mediocre, so he wouldn't be so shameless as to come to meet someone else's girl!
Li Yu smiled and teased his pretentious brother: "Okay, you are still secretive in front of me. If you want to meet, just say so. I will tell the princess and arrange for you to meet."
Li Qin nodded reservedly: "Then I'll bother you and your wife."
Li Yu rolled his eyes and kicked his brother: "If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't bother to care about you."
After Li Yu returned home, he mentioned the matter to Sheng Fu.
Sheng Fu smiled and said, "It's not difficult to meet. I'll hold a banquet in the house, invite cousin A Luo and brother-in-law, and ask Zi Jin to come to the banquet as well."
Li Qin is Li Yu's elder brother, he and Sheng Luo studied together, and he and Lu Tianyou have been classmates for several years. When the time comes to show up at the banquet, it will be natural and not unexpected at all.
"However, I have to say something in advance." Sheng Fu said half-jokingly: "If Zijin doesn't like your eldest brother, you should persuade your mother-in-law to change her mind as soon as possible."
Despite Li Yuchang's jokes about insulting his elder brother, at this moment, he immediately stood on his elder brother's side: "Maybe it was Zi Jin who fell in love with the eldest brother, but the eldest brother was unwilling!"
The couple laughed and bickered for a few words.
…
Shengfu moved quickly and held a banquet in the mansion on the eighth day of the first lunar month. She invited the crown prince and his wife to the banquet. Xie Zijin accompanied him.
In addition to them, Sheng Fu also invited Chen Yin and Zhao Siqing, his wife.
In the past, Sheng Fu would definitely invite Sheng Rong to come with her. However, today's protagonists are Li Qin and Xie Zijin, so Bai Yueguang from Sheng Rong's past should not join in the fun.
Sheng Luo was five months pregnant and her belly was extremely large. The imperial doctor diagnosed twins. Lu Tianyou was both happy and worried. He wished he could stay with his wife every step of the way.
Chen Yin passed the Jinshi examination last year and also had a daughter, which was a double blessing.
Now Chen Yin has also entered the Hanlin Academy and is working as a editor of the Seventh Rank. Lu Tianyou happens to be his immediate boss. On weekdays, when they are on duty, the two of them address each other in a formal manner, but in private, they talk casually.
too much.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and His Highness's belly has grown again." Chen Yin exclaimed.
Sheng Luo smiled and rolled her eyes at Chen Yin: "What you said is exaggerating. We haven't seen each other for a few days, so it's already a big deal."
Zhao Siqing looked at it carefully for a moment and said softly: "It's a little bigger."
When they said this, Lu Tianyou immediately became nervous: "It turns out it wasn't my imagination. I also think Sister A Luo's belly is too big."
Sheng Luo laughed dumbly: "I am pregnant with two children, and it is inevitable that my belly will be bigger. Doctor Zhou checks my pulse every day and says it is stable. Brother You, don't be so nervous all the time."
Can you not be nervous?
With two children in her belly, she was much more tiring than an ordinary pregnancy. Sheng Luo couldn't afford to raise her baby with peace of mind, and had to be busy going to court every day to discuss and handle government affairs...
Lu Tianyou couldn't help but sigh: "If possible, I really wish that the person who is pregnant is myself."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was amused and laughed.
Xie Zijin stood aside, pursed his lips and smiled softly.
She has been Cousin Ah Luo's follower since she was a child, and is familiar with everyone. However, they are all a few years older than her. When they talk, she mostly listens quietly and rarely interrupts.
She worked as an errand next to her cousin Ah Luo, and she often saw her cousin and her cousin-in-law looking so affectionate and affectionate, which made her feel envious and a little sad.
In the future, will she be able to meet a man who loves and treats her wholeheartedly?
After seeing the sweetest and most beautiful love in the world, how could she be willing to compromise again?
At this moment, cousin A Luo's voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Li Qin, you are finally willing to show up to see us."
…
Li Qin?
Li Yu's twin brother and the great-great-grandson of the Li family. If I remember correctly, not long ago, I asked Queen Xie to be my matchmaker and wanted to marry her...
As soon as he heard the long-lost name, Xie Zijin raised his eyebrows subtly, and his eyes fell on the young man who was slowly approaching.
A twenty-two-year-old young man with a slender figure, thick eyebrows and dark eyes, and a handsome appearance.
His appearance is almost the same as that of Li Yu, but at a glance, no one would confuse them as brothers. Li Yu has a smooth love life, and he is very much in love with Princess Duanyi, and he looks like a suave and elegant young man.
But Li Qin has a tenacity and calmness that Li Yu doesn't have. His career as an official in recent years has tempered his calm demeanor.
Once you stop there, you will be able to outshine the so-called noble men in the capital.
Xie Zijin looked at Li Qin calmly, and Li Qin also quickly glanced at Xie Zijin.
Just one glance made Li Qin understand why his mother would rather let him wait for two years...
Is Xie Zijin beautiful?
Of course she is beautiful, with beautiful features, a smile on her lips, and a graceful figure.
Sixteen years old is the most beautiful age for a girl. Xie Zijin's appearance is undoubtedly very outstanding. She does not resemble her biological father and mother very much, but she very much resembles Empress Xie when she was young.
But when I first saw her, the first thing I saw was not her beautiful appearance, but her indescribable demeanor and the radiant look between her eyebrows.
Like a rare pearl, it shows off its elegance without hesitation.
The two words "years" are the most magical. They can make people mature, and they can also carve a little girl into an unparalleled treasure.
Everyone present knew who the protagonist of today's banquet was. The two of them thought they were looking at each other without revealing any trace, but in fact everyone saw it!
Sheng Luo suppressed her laughter and said to Sheng Fu: "It's rare for us to get together today. We are all very familiar with each other. There is no need to separate the men's and women's seats. Let's sit at one table! It will be easier to talk."
A smile flashed in Sheng Fu's eyes: "That's fine." She turned around and ordered that a palace maid would arrange the banquet.
Li Qin greeted everyone one by one.
Although we haven't seen each other for several years, we are familiar with each other and the atmosphere is lively and harmonious.
Arriving in front of Xie Zijin, Li Qin subconsciously straightened his waist straighter, his eyes were deep and focused, and his voice was gentle and sweet: "I have been away from Beijing for more than three years. After returning to Beijing, I learned that Miss Xie has become famous. When I see her today, Miss Xie is even more charming.
The past."
Xie Zijin smiled slightly: "Thank you very much, Magistrate Li, for the compliment. Just ask me to thank you, Master."
