Luo Zhaoyun had lunch with the queen and the concubines in Beilin Garden, and in the afternoon, the tour was over, and the holy driver returned to the palace together.

Thinking of mentioning the Iron Lady to Xue Zhiqing, after thinking for a while, Luo Zhaoyun drove directly and came to the palace where Li Xiuning was.

Although it is still a little deserted here, the courtyard is obviously cleaner and tidier than before, and the two palace maids are more diligent, because they all faintly feel that the hostess who is serving at home may also become a concubine in the future, and they will be able to rise when the time comes.

And I didn't know the identity of this woman before, but now that Li Yuan has surrendered and returned to the capital, the reputation of the Iron Lady Li Xiuning has spread little by little, and these two palace maids dare not slack off.

Although Li valve declined and was a subordinate, after all, he was called the emperor in Chang'an, and Yu Wei still had it, especially with some complicated relationships with some gate valves, and they all had some friendships, so that some silver and two dozen pawns the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids of the harem, they can still do it, and no one dares to embarrass it anymore.

Therefore, in the past two days, the eunuchs sent by the province to take charge of the flower beds in the back garden and the planting of the Taidian led people to prune the trees and gardens in the courtyard, some weeds were eradicated, willow branches were pruned, and the rockery and flowing water were also handled normally, giving people a new feeling.

Li Xiuning's mood has also improved a lot in the past two days, after all, her father, eldest brother, and fourth brother have all saved their lives, and Li Yuan's Jinyang family members have also been sent back to Chang'an one after another, exempting them from the pain of punishment, and her heart is also a lot more steady.

Of course, since Li Yuan was captured, his ambition has also been eliminated, and he only thinks about how to enjoy his old age in peace and not be settled by His Majesty today. Therefore, in his words, he deliberately persuaded Li Xiuning to be a concubine in the royal family, if he was favored in the future, he could also become a concubine, then the Li family would be able to be stable.

"Hey, I don't know, if there is such a fate." Li Xiuning stood under the ring corridor, feeling a little bit of gain and loss.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

At this time, the eunuch who accompanied the car sang loudly, breaking the silence here.

Li Xiuning came back to her senses, holding a goose-yellow robe and skirt in one hand, Ying Ying walked to the front of the palace, and the two personal palace maids also ran over in a panic, and saw His Majesty walking into the courtyard gate like a tiger.

"Meet Your Majesty." The three daughters gave the salute.

"Get up." Luo Zhaoyun walked closer, condescending, and looked at Li Xiuning for a while, but felt that her complexion had improved a lot, and the whole person was much better than when she was dull before, and she seemed to have untied the knot in her heart, and she couldn't help but be a little happy.

"The day before yesterday, did you see Ling Zun?"

"I've seen it, and I want to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, I don't investigate the past, and I have fulfilled the Li family." Li Xiuning politely said words of gratitude.

Luo Zhaoyun said briskly: "Well, at that time, it was also a certain country, but there was no grudge in private, in fact, I had a good impression of Ling Zun and the Li family many years ago, and now I have become a citizen of Dahua, as long as I think calmly, I will never do the business of 'settling accounts after the autumn'." ”

Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled, and she was shocked by Luo Zhaoyun's direct and refreshing words, and she didn't know what to say in her heart, but she was convinced, because through contact, Li Xiuning felt more and more that Luo Zhaoyun was a person who was above board, did what he said, recommitted and responsible, and since he could say it like this, he would definitely do it.

"Your Majesty...... Xiuning thanked His Majesty on behalf of his family. With that, Li Xiuning bowed down.

Luo Zhaoyun was close at hand, and subconsciously reached out to support it, just touching Li Xiuning's arm, and the body touched, Luo Zhaoyun took advantage of her body to rise up and let go, while Li Xiuning's cheeks flushed, but there was no shame.

This is the first time that the two have had a skin-to-skin touch, although it was unintentional, but Li Xiuning's heart softened, as if he felt that the other party was gradually accepting him.

"Miss Li......"

"Your Majesty calls me Xiuning."

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That, Xiuning, now that your identity has been exposed, there is no need for me to continue to be trapped in you, I can leave the palace in the near future, what do you think?" ”

Li Xiuning's expression was a little frozen, she didn't expect Her Majesty to let her out of the palace directly, but it disrupted her thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty thinks that Xiuning is in the palace, which hinders Your Majesty's eyes?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun looked at her lonely, puzzled, and said with a wry smile: "Where is this, leaving you at the beginning, it was quite a house arrest, and now Ling Zun and his family have returned to Chang'an City, if your identity has been left in the palace, there is no explanation, it is not appropriate after all......"

Li Xiuning's face could not hide a sense of loss, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, can't Xiuning live in the palace for a long time?" ”

"Huh?" Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, his eyes met Li Xiuning's eyes, and he felt a resentment from the beauty, and some indescribable tenderness, and suddenly, he seemed to have some understanding.

Could it be...... Is she confessing her heart? Do you really plan to stay in the palace as a concubine?

However, is there some sincerity in this, or is it worried that I will not keep my promise and will operate on the Li family afterwards?

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated, but he still had some good feelings for Li Xiuning, a strange woman, the other party's legendary experience, the ability of women not to let the eyebrows, and the demeanor and skills of the Iron Lady are all admired by men all over the world, and Luo Zhaoyun is the same, and he has also admired her.

"If you want to stay, you can ...... However, the women in the palace, except for the palace maids, are all my maids, if you stay...... Do you plan to be a female officer, or ...... Be my woman? Luo Zhaoyun stumbled and finally said it.

Some words are still straightforward, and it is better to say them on the surface, otherwise they will be suspicious and ponder with each other, and if there is another misunderstanding, it will cause extraneous branches.

There are no outsiders here, the two have been alone for nearly a year and a half, and they are familiar with each other's personalities, so Luo Zhaoyun directly made his words clear.

After Li Xiuning heard this, it seemed that the deer was jumping in her heart, her cheeks turned even redder, she lowered her head slightly, and her voice became a little quieter: "It's all at Your Majesty's disposal, and the concubine is at Your Majesty's." ”

Li Xiuning, who has always been bold and resolute, no longer has the pride of the Iron Lady at this time, but twists it. When this woman and the man of her heart privately decided to marry her, she was still shy and nervous, and after secretly glancing at Luo Zhaoyun with her eyes, she lowered her head again, not daring to look at him anymore.

Luo Zhaoyun and Li Xiuning were two steps apart, and he could almost see her snow-white ears and neck with her head down, as well as the nervousness of her eyebrows, the flushed double match, and the corners of her lips biting lightly.

The grievances of the past have passed, and if they get along together for a year and a half, if Li Xiuning is sent out to marry someone else, Luo Zhaoyun will not say it, and he will be a little reluctant and depressed in his heart. At this time, both public and private, should accept Li Xiuning, so that the remaining Li valve can be appeased, and those who surrender can also be softened.

"In that case, then stay in the palace and accompany me all the way."

This sentence is also a promise, Luo Zhaoyun accepted Li Xiuning.

"Really?" Li Xiuning suddenly raised her head, her eyes were bright, and her face was clear and beautiful, with a little joy.

Luo Zhaoyun took her hand at this time, and even if she said it, she didn't have to care about whether men and women gave or received kisses, after all, she was going to marry into the palace as a concubine in the future, so she was not polite. Squeezing the soft jade hand, Luo Zhaoyun chuckled and said, "I am a promise, Xiuning, you really plan to stay with me, can I not understand this situation?" Actually, I'm also very happy to have a talented girl! ”

Li Xiuning smiled and let the other party hold it in his hands, only feeling that his body and mind were a lot more down-to-earth, and since then he has a other half, he can rely on himself, even if he shares it with many concubines, but this man is definitely worth paying without regrets.

"Then Xiuning doesn't have to leave the palace." Li Xiuning said with a smile.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Actually, if you plan to arrange an errand for you this time, you can also go in and out of the palace often, wait for it to be exposed first, and after a while, I will accept you to officially enter the palace and canonize the concubine." ”

Li Xiuning nodded in response, and then asked His Majesty what errands he had, Luo Zhaoyun explained the matter of the guards and training of the Beijing Girls' School, and when he heard that there was something to do, Li Xiuning was of course overjoyed, if he could often go out of the palace to do something, it would indeed be more fulfilling than always being stuffy in the courtyard, so he smiled like a flower on his face and nodded in agreement.
