Chen Guogong Mansion.

Although night has not yet fallen, the entire Chen Mansion is already jubilant.

The palace is full of lanterns, guests are there, laughing and talking with each other, servants and maidservants pass through it, serving delicious food and wine, and the atmosphere is full of celebration.

For Chen's house, today is a more lively festival than the New Year's Festival, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Chen."

"There is only Chen Qing today, and there is no Lord Chen."

"I haven't seen you for many days, congratulations to Lord Chen for his ascension."

"Today is the birthday of the little sister in the family, don't talk about this, sit over there ......"

"Lord Qin is here, and I am far away to welcome ......, Cuiliu, take Mrs. Qin to the ladies of the inner courtyard......"

……

The status of the Chen family in the court is not low, and it can even be said to be pivotal, this is not only by relying on Chen Guogong's prestige and relationship in the past, the two brothers of the Chen family both hold important positions in the center of the imperial court, one is in the middle of the matter, and the other is now an official worship in the door, but all those who are invited to participate in today's banquet have some flattery and flattery.

Chen Qing personally greeted a few important guests, and then he turned around and frowned: "When is it, why haven't the third sister and second brother come back yet?" ”

A subordinate said respectfully: "Back to the master, the second master went out to pick up the third lady very early, but for some reason, there is no news back yet." ”

"The banquet is about to start, and then send someone out to have a look."

"Yes!"

Chen Qing commanded, and the man immediately withdrew, and quickly ran out of the mansion.

In Yangliu Lane, Miss Chen San walked out of the courtyard, smiled at the two girls, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I ...... trouble you." ”

Wan Ruoqing bent down slightly and said, "You're polite, it's just a coarse tea and light meal." ”

"Although it is coarse tea and light rice, it is worth all the brocade clothes and food."

Miss Chen San's eyes looked at Li Yi who was standing behind, and it took a long time before she took it back and said, "It's not too early, I've been bothering you for so long, we should go back." ”

"Be careful."

Chen Chong helped her down the steps and glanced back at Li Yi, his brows still furrowed, but he no longer had the strong smell of gunpowder before.

"Drunken ink, I'm going back too." Zeng Shichun smiled, then turned around and walked towards the alley.

When the real power of the household was separated from Chen Qizhong at the entrance of the alley, he glanced at each other again, exchanged some information, and then got into the carriage.

In the courtyard, Li Yi and Zeng Zuimo sat on both sides of the stone table, and seeing this third lady again today made his heart start to be a little uncalm again.

The Chen family has always been the most solid force in the Shu Dynasty, and it is also a force that he and the eldest princess will not be able to avoid in the future.

However, the Chen family is different from the Cui family, the Yu family, and the Qin family, the Li family owes Miss Chen San too much, although since ancient times, party disputes have been cold-blooded and ruthless, but if he really wants to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes, and let her suffer even a little harm, even if the final goal is achieved, he will never live in peace in his heart for the rest of his life.

This matter needs to be considered in the long run.

Zeng Zuimo put a cup of tea on the table in front of him, looked at him, and said softly: "Still thinking about Mrs. Chen?" ”

Li Yi took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.

She thought for a moment and said, "This matter is ......, it's not your fault. ”

Li Yi shook his head, "But after all, it's still related to me." ”

Lao Fang's head had already poked in from the outside twice, Li Yi looked up and said, "It's not too early, I'm ......"

She nodded, "Well, you can go back." ”

"In the coming days, there are a lot of things to do, and I may not have time to come over." Ruyi's due date is less than three months away, Li Yi doesn't plan to let the old lady and those women take her to worship the Buddha and ask the Bodhisattva for blessing all day long, paused, and said: "If there is anything urgent, send someone to find me, the new house is not far from here, you should know where it is, right?" ”

"Then ......, you wait a minute."

She was stunned when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, turned around, walked back to the room quickly, and quickly walked out, handed over a thing to Li Yi, and said: "It's not good, it's not as good as Sister Ruoqing'......, if you don't like it, throw it away." ”

Li Yi looked at the small dress that the baby was wearing in his hand, it was indeed not as good as Ruoqing's, but compared with the one she made before, it was already a heaven and an earth.

Her female celebrity is just like her cooking skills, and it is unbelievable that she can make such great progress in such a short period of time, which is enough to guess how much effort she has put into this area these days.

"I'll see." Li Yi grabbed her left hand, and sure enough, he saw a lot of faint red dots on her slender white jade fingers.

This time she rarely did not break free, looking at his slightly distressed appearance, a smile appeared on his face, and the faint pain in his hand was not so painful.

At the door of the room at the back, a figure had already walked out, and when he saw the situation in the courtyard, he slowly retreated.

Li Yi was a little moved, and a little angry, and when the words came to his lips, he just sighed and said, "Don't be so stupid in the future." ”

She shook her head and said, "It's always right to learn more, and in the future, I will have to do a few things for my children." ”

"That's right." Li Yi nodded and said: "But you have to be careful, how can anyone like you, you have to get a hand injury when you make a dress, anyway, it's still early, if you do it slowly, there will be a lot of pieces by then, but it won't save me from buying it outside." ”

She lowered her head slightly, feeling a little lost in her heart, yes, all she could do was to sew a few small clothes for him and the child of Miss Liu.

subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand from Li Yi's hand, but he held it tighter.

Li Yi looked down at her and asked, "Do you like to have a son or a daughter, I think a daughter is good, but this can't help us, we still have to rely on luck when the time comes......"

When she heard this, her body shook, and then her face immediately turned red, and she broke free of Li Yi's hand even harder, "Who, who is going to have a ...... with you"

Li Yi could only see the back of a panicked escape, and said helplessly: "What to run, what to run, in the future, in the future, not now......"

Some things, hazy, don't talk about breaking or piercing that layer of paper, it will indeed be a lot less troublesome.

But this is very unfair to her, as a man, she is inevitably less responsible.

The timing is not very right, but in the days that followed, he had a lot of things to do, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to meet again, Li Yi thought about it for a long time, and still felt that it was better to say these words.

"Miss, what are you doing under the covers, is it cold?" In the room, Xiao Cui stood in front of the bed, looked at the figure of the whole person shrunk in the quilt, and asked suspiciously.

She listened carefully, and then heard a low sobbing sound coming from inside the quilt.

"Miss, are you crying?"

A look of panic immediately appeared on her face, and she said anxiously: "Is it Li Gongzi who bullied you...... miss, don't cry, I'll look for him!" ”

"Don't!"

A figure quickly bounced up from the bed, Zeng Zuimo grabbed Xiao Cui's arm, his face was full of pear blossoms, and he shook his head again and again: "Don't go, it's none of his business, it's my own ......"

Xiaocui asked suspiciously, "But Miss, why are you crying......

"Because, because ......" she looked out the window in a daze, then took Xiaocui in her arms and whispered: "Because today's dumplings are so delicious......

The girl showed an extremely surprised expression on her face, crying like this because the dumplings were delicious, and she hadn't found out for more than ten years that the young lady actually liked to eat dumplings so much......

In the courtyard, a figure sat at the stone table in a daze, looking at the full moon that had risen into the sky, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water, but there were a little bit of crystal.

Lao Fang sat in the carriage, glanced back at the carriage, and sighed: "Uncle, you are so wise, give birth to a boy, it is too troublesome to raise him to marry him, I also think that it is better to have a daughter!" ”
