Concubine Shu covered her lips and smiled, "She also said that she was just admiring, and that you were not happy to ask why?"

Lu Yanrui's ears were a little red.

Concubine Shu stopped teasing him and said with a smile, "It was Miss Zhong who said that she could only use him as her elder brother, and that wouldn't work. If you really mean it, why don't I ask the emperor for grace and ask him to marry you?"

Lu Yanrui's heart pounded, as if he was bewitched, and wanted to nod his head, but he calmed down after all, if Zhong Li really married him, she would have to face his stepmother, she might not be willing to marry.

He also... was reluctant to let her suffer this grievance.

Lu Yanrui said, "I have met Mrs. Zheng from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion several times. She is kind and easy to get along with. Li Mingran is also a talented person. If Miss Zhong can marry him, it will be a good marriage."

At this moment, Concubine Shu finally understood why Lu Zhenmiao was in such a hurry. He was really a lump of elm wood. Concubine Shu wanted to use a stick to wake him up, so she had to make a fierce move.

"The Zheng family is really easy to get along with. Similarly, she also values ​​children. Her eldest daughter-in-law has been married for half a year. When she is not pregnant, she is a little anxious, and even stuffs people into her son's room. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this fate. If you really like her, you should do your best to protect her, instead of just watching her suffer all the grievances from others, but in the end there's nothing you can do."

These remarks can be described as deafening, and an inexplicable impulse surged in Lu Yanrui's heart. Maybe he never thought of having her, so he could take it lightly. In fact, thinking about it carefully, does he really want someone else to marry her?

During this time, he has been numbing himself with official business, why is it because he is afraid of hearing good news from her. Now that she has no marriage contract, why not try? As for his stepmother, he could always come up with a way to make her feel better.

After all, he was a foreigner. Although he was Concubine Shu's nephew, he didn't stay for long. After thanking him, he left Jingyang Palace.

Today is the death anniversary of Gu Zhiya's biological mother. After she worshipped her biological mother, she planned to go to Huguo Temple to pray for her mother's blessings.

When she went out of the house, she happened to meet Xiao Sheng. In the past few days, she had seen Xiao Sheng once at the dining table, but she felt that Xiao Sheng's temperament had changed after not seeing him for a few years.

Originally, Xiao Sheng had a beautiful and bright moon, and Ruo Lang was a bright moon. He was very gentle, and his words and deeds were elegant and noble. Now he is very depressed, and the word depression is written on his eyebrows.

Seeing her, Xiao Sheng paused in his footsteps, and only bowed his hands a little. He simply said hello and got into the carriage.

Gu Zhiya stared at his figure a few more times, and a thought flashed in her eyes.

Inside the Xingxing Pavilion.

Aoba has brought back two children. The little boy is seven years old and the little girl is eight years old. The two children are about the same height as Cheng'er. .

No, he also specially asked the maid to bathe the two children and change into clean clothes before taking them to the Star Picking Pavilion.

As soon as the two children saw Zhong Li, they hurriedly kowtowed to her.

The two of them had already heard Qingye say that as long as they were willing to be the young master's playmates, they would be able to eat their stomachs and study with him in the future. Both children felt dizzy and unreal along the way.

Zhong Li didn't let them kneel, but let Qiuye pull him up. She smiled softly, "You two, get up, you don't have to kneel in the future."

The little boy was born with a head and a head and a pair of black eyes. The little girl's eyes were not big, but she looked very quiet, and both of them were timid.

Seeing that Zhong Li was born so beautiful, and smiled as kindly as Guanyin Bodhisattva, they both breathed a sigh of relief. The little girl smiled first and praised sweetly, "You are really a good person."

Zhong Li laughed and shook his head, and then said sternly: "You don't have to be cautious in the future, you only need to accompany Cheng'er to learn and play in the future. If you do well, I will reward you here, if you do not do well, there will definitely be children next to you. Willing to come, what I mean, do you understand?"

The two children nodded quickly, showing their loyalty again and again, "Don't worry, we will definitely accompany the young master."

Cheng'er had already seen these two children. His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't write in big characters. After probing his head in the room, he couldn't hold his breath, slipped off the bench, and ran to the main room. .

When Zhong Li saw him, the smile on her face softened a bit, "Sister has adopted two children, will you let them play with Cheng'er in the future?"

Seeing the two children were smiling at him, Cheng'er didn't know why, but she was a little shy. He put his arms around Zhong Li's waist and buried his face in her arms, "I don't understand."

He doesn't understand the meaning of adoption.

Zhong Li smiled and scratched the tip of his nose, "Cheng'er doesn't need to understand, do you like them? If you like them, let them accompany you to eat and sleep in the future, okay?"

Cheng'er's eyes widened instantly, with surprise in her big black eyes, "Sister wants to marry me?"

As soon as he said this, all the maids in the room couldn't help laughing, and Zhong Li couldn't help laughing. Cheng'er blushed a little from their laughter, and he vaguely understood that he was making a joke.

The little guy pouted and glanced at his sister resentfully, "It was my sister who said to sleep with me first!"

He had always wanted his maid to sleep with him before, but his sister said that when he was old, he had to learn to sleep on his own, and he could only sleep with his daughter-in-law in the future.

Cheng'er still remembered this.

Zhong Li quickly coaxed: "Don't be angry, it's my sister who didn't make it clear, let them accompany you to eat and study in the future, okay?"

Cheng'er secretly glanced at the two of them again, and the two children were also looking at him curiously. The seven or eight-year-old children basically understood what it meant to marry a daughter-in-law, and the two children had already sensitively noticed Cheng'er. is wrong.

But the two of them did not show any abnormality. The little girl took the initiative to walk up to Cheng'er and said with a smile, "My name is Xiaoxiang, you look so good-looking, how old are you?"

No child has ever praised him like this before, Cheng'er instantly puffed out her little chest proudly, and said happily, "I'm eight years old! You look good too!"
