Chapter Ten: Gold Medal 2
() Liu Jibei said quickly: "It's okay, I'm a rough man from the mountains, and I have so many serious etiquette."
For fear of getting entangled in this matter, he then asked: "How did the Queen Mother know this Miss Dugu?"
Queen Mother Chinu sighed: "Our Yuwen family and the Dugu family have a close personal relationship. The eldest daughter of the Dugu family even married Emperor Ming. Although Emperor Ming and his wife have both passed away, this has not affected the relationship between our two families."
Speaking of this, a smile of relief flashed across the face of Queen Mother Chinu, and she continued: "Dugu Jialuo was lost when she was young. The Dugu family thought she was no longer alive, but they did not expect that after many years, she would be so happy from the sky.
Xiao Jialuo actually found her back on her own, which was something I never expected. Dugu Xin's third wife was so happy that Mrs. Cui brought her to the palace before Dori."
"Hehehe, this little girl is really rare. She is smart and loved by everyone. Because the Ai family was very attached to her, they kept her in the palace for a few more days. The Ai family and
During her conversation, the Ai family learned something about you."
Seeing the smiling expression of Queen Mother Chinu, Liu Jibei felt that she was truly happy for Dugu Jialuo.
At this time, the maid next to Queen Mother Chinu suddenly interjected: "Miss Dugu is indeed very impressed by you, and she expresses admiration in her words. In comparison, Miss Yu doesn't like to see you very much."
Liu Jibei wondered: "Which Miss Yu? I don't know when I met such a young lady!"
The Empress Dowager Chinu's face sank, and she scolded the maid next to her: "Yan'er talks too much. The Ai family has already said it. I spoil you and Huan'er rotten in daily life. How come you don't know how to restrain yourself? You make Liu Zhuangshi a joke."
The palace maid named Yan'er pretended to be aggrieved, pouted but did not argue. She just turned her face away and secretly blinked at Huan'er who was walking over.
Seeing her like this, the latter wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Her pretty face turned rosy from suppressing her emotions, and she glanced back at Yan'er playfully.
Probably the Empress Dowager Chinu liked these two maids very much. Although she caught a glimpse of the two of them winking at each other, she did not feel dissatisfied and pretended not to see them and said to Liu Jibei: "This Miss Yu is indeed not the same as you."
We are familiar with each other, but we have met once. That day you drove away the assassin in Yu Jin's house, and she has never forgotten you."
Liu Jibei's heart moved, and a lonely and cold figure immediately appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but feel cold all over, and sighed expressionlessly: "It turns out that the Queen Mother was talking about Yu Moxiang, and she has indeed met me once."
Empress Dowager Chinu noticed Liu Jibei's indifference and said with a smile: "Liu Zhuangshi seems to be quite prejudiced against this eldest lady in the family. I wonder if Aijia is right?"
Liu Jibei said calmly: "I only had a brief meeting with Miss Yu, so I won't have any prejudice against her."
The Empress Dowager Chinu said: "Yu Jin, the apple of his eye, is extremely cold-hearted. He never speaks falsely to anyone except the Ai family."
At this point, she suddenly sighed and continued thoughtfully: "Actually, you can't blame her. Yu Aiqing also has to bear some responsibility for why she became like this."
Liu Jibei was not a curious person and did not like to pry into others. At this moment, when he saw that Queen Mother Chinu seemed to be talking about Yu Moxiang's past, he was too embarrassed to interrupt her, so he remained silent and did not answer the conversation.
However, to Liu Jibei's surprise, Queen Mother Chinu did not continue on the original topic, but changed the topic and said: "This child Mo Xiang looks cold and cold on the surface, but in fact she is really kind-hearted, and
She never goes back on her promises to others. Just a few days ago, the Ai family had a heartache, and she happened to bump into it. This girl was anxious.
She was so amazing that she not only called for an imperial doctor, but also promised the Ai family to find some elixirs to treat heartache. The Ai family thought that she would just talk about it, but who knew that at noon yesterday, this girl actually came, and
I brought Yao Sengyuan’s secret elixir. After the Ai family took it, their chest felt much smoother. Do you think this girl is quite scheming?"
Liu Jibei was stunned and said, "Is Yao Sengyuan back?"
The Empress Dowager Chinu did not answer but asked: "It seems from Liu Zhuangshi's tone that he knows Yao Sengyuan?"
Liu Jibei nodded and said, "I do have some connection with Divine Doctor Yao, but I haven't heard from him since we left Mengzhou. I don't know when he returned to Chang'an."
Queen Mother Chinu said: "According to Yu Moxiang, Yao Sengyuan has only been back for a few days. By the way, Du Gao has also returned with him."
Liu Jibei was shocked and thought to himself: It turns out that these two people have been back for several days, but why haven't they shown up yet? Both of them were involved in the recruitment of barbarians in Mengzhou, especially Du Gao who almost died.
It was left in Manzuo's village. It stands to reason that
They are the best witnesses of Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui. They are more convincing than Yang Fu's memorial. If they stand up and clarify the facts, even if Yuwen Hu distorts the truth, he will not be able to cover up the truth with one hand.
But why didn't they do this?
Liu Jibei was suspicious in his heart. He listened to the Chinu Queen Mother and continued: "Yao Sengyuan is also very familiar to the Ai family. He is famous for being stingy. When someone in the palace gets sick, he always uses local materials to make his own.
Refusing to take out the good medicine he had collected, Mo Xiang did not know what method he used to coax Yao into
Seng Yuan took out two pills of 'Er Yi Shu Xin Dan' that he had been refusing to show, but she brought them to the Ai family. Sometimes, the Ai family really doubted whether the child Mo Xiang had two faces.
Behind her cold face, there is a face that is confusing to death. Alas, I really can’t explain it clearly.”
Liu Jibei responded casually: "So, although this young lady has a cold temperament, her mind is still very clever."
The Queen Mother Chinu nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "This girl is very arrogant. There are very few people in the world who can be attracted to her, but I don't know why, even though you frustrated her that day, she
But I have never forgotten you. The Ai family can see that this girl is very annoyed with you on the surface, but she actually admires you very much in her heart!"
At this time, Liu Jibei was thinking about the affairs of Yao Sengyuan and Du Gao, and was not too attentive to the words of the Queen Mother Chinu. After hearing her words, he nodded and passed vaguely.
A strange look flashed across the face of Queen Mother Chinu, and then it disappeared, and she still said with a smile: "The reason why the Ai family wants to meet you is because they believed what Dugu Jialuo and Yu Moxiang said. Since she
The two of you spoke so miraculously about you that it naturally aroused the curiosity of the Ai family. We happened to meet you again today, so I asked you to stay and talk for a while."
Liu Jibei said hurriedly: "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Queen Mother. If you find me useful in the future, please don't be polite. Just send me."
The Empress Dowager Chinu's face turned pale, she stared at Liu Jibei and said, "Actually, the Ai family is leaving you here today, and there is one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
Liu Jibei was startled and thought to himself: What she just said was polite, how could she take it seriously?
Although he was deeply disapproving of it, Liu Jibei could only pretend to be respectful and asked after the words were spoken, "I wonder if the Queen Mother has anything to send you. I am here to listen attentively."
The Empress Dowager Chinu said solemnly: "The Ai family has clearly seen what happened outside the palace today. Liu Zhuangshi is so brave and powerful that he is truly the best in the world." When she said this, she sighed, looking very worried.
, and then said: "The emperor has only been on the throne for a short period of time. Now in this dynasty,
In the court, many people are not convinced by him, and there are many people with ulterior motives. The Ai family is very worried about his safety. Even if he is the head of a country, he is still a child here in the Ai family. As a mother, I really don’t want him to
He has three advantages and two disadvantages, so the Ai family would like to ask Liu Zhuangshi something
Liu Jibei thought to himself: Kuye, he is another master who asks himself to be his bodyguard.
Liu Jibei found it funny when he thought about it. Since entering Chang'an, three groups of people have asked him to be their bodyguards.
First, it was Xu Ling's son Xu Chen, who hoped that he could escort him back to Chen State; then Miao Yue Shenni asked him to protect Yang Jian; now it is the turn of the Queen Mother Chinu to invite her to protect Yu Wenyong, and she doesn't know when she will change.
It’s so popular that it’s really dumbfounding.
Sure enough, Liu Jibei heard the Chinu Queen Mother say: "I hope Liu Zhuangshi can stay in the palace as the emperor's personal guard. With you by his side, the Ai family can sleep well."
Liu Jibei thought to himself: You can sleep now, but I'm afraid that after I agreed, I won't be able to sleep anymore.
Although he thought this in his heart, he could not say it with his mouth. He thought for a while and replied: "Actually, before this, the emperor had already intended to find me as a personal guard. To be able to win the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, I really deserved it for my third life."
Fortunately, it is not because I am ignorant and deliberately shirk it, but because I have no choice but to disappoint the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager Chinu's face changed, and she said calmly: "First of all, tell me what the reason is, and see if the Ai family can help?"
Liu Jibei smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: My dear, my face has changed so quickly! The title changed from "Liu Zhuangshi" to "you" all of a sudden. If I can't find a sufficient reason, I'm afraid I'll be replaced by "You" immediately.
"You" became "er".
He said without thinking: "To be honest, I am originally from Songshan. The reason why I left my hometown was entirely to find my lost son."
Speaking of this, the shadow of Liu Song flashed before his eyes, and a sadness surged in his heart, and his tone became a little sad. He continued: "I am able to come to Chang'an, it is really a blessing.
