This Pei family is not simple!
Her own son was still in prison, but she was able to clear herself of all charges and stay out of the matter. She was also suddenly chosen by His Majesty to attend Xia Miao.
She hasn't been in the court for more than 30 years, right?
I heard that she had completely fallen out with her family and had no contact with them any longer.
How could such an old woman suddenly be valued by His Majesty? Isn't there something strange about this?
I am afraid that this beautiful general's mansion will have an unexpected future in the future.
Eunuch Liang put on a smiling face today. After congratulating Old Madam Pei, he took the silver and left.
After sending the people away, Mrs. Pei immediately asked the doorman to close the door of the mansion.
"Luo'er, Xia Miao three days later, His Majesty must have found an excuse to see you!"
"Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to deal with Xia Miao when his holy body had just recovered? He even specifically asked Grandmother to bring the family along."
"Now, it's obvious that you are the only one left in Grandmother's family!"
"Luo'er, you have to be aware of this!"
Li Qingluo nodded solemnly: "Okay, Grandma, Luo'er understands."
"But what exactly is Xia Miao?"
Madam Pei sighed, "It's just the royal family's summer hunting, with the intention of protecting the farmland and praying for blessings."
Going hunting?
Wouldn’t that mean a lot of people would go there?
This is good, Emperor Yan will not want to see her alone.
"Luo'er, Grandma remembers that your birthday is also in three days?"
Before Li Qingluo could speak, Madam Pei sighed, "Grandmother originally wanted to have a nice time at home for you, but unfortunately, we can only follow the imperial decree and go to Nanshan to join Xia Miao."
"Grandma is worried that if you go out and the poison suddenly takes effect and someone sees you, you might lose control and hurt someone."
Li Qingluo felt a pang in his heart.
"Grandma, please trust Luo'er. Besides... the poison shouldn't take effect so quickly."
Madam Pei: "Grandmother, it's not that I don't trust you. But in front of the royal family, there must not be any mistakes."
"Otherwise, let alone an arranged marriage, Luo'er... even if it's your life, you won't be able to wait for Prince Su to return, and it will be gone!"
Li Qingluo: "Then Luo'er, can you take Dong Siyuan with you?"
"If necessary, he can give Luo'er acupuncture, which may be able to suppress some of the symptoms."
Madam Pei: "According to the ancestral rules of the Ministry of Rites, we, the two of us, can only bring two maids, two nannies, and two guards with us."
"Grandmother, we'll just arrange for Aunt Zhang. You can make the rest your own arrangements."
Three days later.
Li Qingluo was pulled up from the bed by Cui'er and Que'er at three quarters past three in the morning.
When she sat down at the table in a daze, a bowl of longevity noodles was stuffed into her hand.
"Happy birthday, girl."
"Every day is a good day, every moment is a good moment."
Li Qingluo finished eating the noodles before he even opened his eyes.
When she rushed to the front yard, Mrs. Pei was already waiting for her.
In the carriage, Madam Pei gently patted her adorable granddaughter lying on her lap and murmured softly, "I wish Grandmother's Luo'er a gift for every new year and an inch of happiness."
“Every year has this day, every year has this morning.”
"Happy birthday, Luo'er."
Li Qingluo's eyes were moist.
On this day last year, she was still on her way to Jinling City.
He vomited all over the place in the rickety carriage.
Before I knew it, it was my sixteenth birthday.
She never imagined that she would have to walk through two lifetimes before reaching her seventeenth birthday...
The carriages of each family first arrived at the palace gate to wait for the emperor.
Then they drove into the long dragon-like queue one by one in order.
The carriage from General Xiuli's mansion was at the end of the line.
Following behind was the Pan Mansion, and behind that were only the Royal Guards.
Li Qingluo lifted the carriage curtain and looked back.
When she saw Pan Li also looking at her, the two who had not seen each other for a long time smiled at each other.
After a bumpy ride for most of the day, it was already three quarters past midnight when we finally arrived at Nanshan Villa.
Li Qingluo remembered that the Nanshan Villa was the place where the prince was imprisoned before.
Doesn't that mean we've come to the prince's territory this time?
She could only act with extreme caution. After getting off the carriage, she followed the person with the token to the yard where the two of them were settled.
Before we even sat down, we heard a commotion next door. It turned out that another family had come to the next yard.
When I asked around, I found out that it was someone from Duke Pei's Mansion!
This time, Xia Miao heard that in addition to the royal family's direct relatives, there were a dozen other officials and their families who were granted the emperor's grace to travel together.
It was just such a big Nanshan Villa, but it was such a coincidence that the two of them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, ran into the Pei family.
It is hard not to wonder whether this was a deliberate human arrangement.
The people who came to the Pei family today, besides Duke Pei, were the Duke's wife, the Sixth Miss and the Tenth Miss. I heard that there were two other young masters as well.
The neighbors soon found out that they were the ones living there.
He didn't even hesitate to express his dissatisfaction.
"Who are we? How can we live with them?"
"Is a person who betrays his ancestors and forgets his virtues, and is afraid of death, worthy of coming to Xia Miao?"
"I don't know what kind of escape route he has taken. He is so shameless as to dare to come out and embarrass himself."
"A mother is a murderer."
"Even if she lived next door to a father who committed a serious crime of greed, I would still feel that she had polluted the place and the air she breathes."
"Even if your own parents have committed unforgivable crimes, as a daughter, shouldn't you think about how to forgive them and get away with it and enjoy yourself? Would you still be considered a human being?"
"Bah—"
Li Qingluo smashed the pottery jar beside him with a "bang".
Be careful of her little bitch, little dog!
Love whoever you want!
She jumped onto the top of the wall with her sword in hand, and sneered at Pei Liuniang, who was pinching her waist and cursing happily below the wall.
"It is the grace bestowed by His Majesty!"
"If you have any objections, how about I accompany you to personally meet His Majesty and ask Him why He invited a woman of such a corrupt moral character and bad reputation like me to come with Xia Miao?"
