Liang Guanjing got up early the next day to practice, and she told Su Mingyue to lie down for a while, Su Mingyue had to get up no matter what.After all, she was young and had a good foundation. After taking the decoction internally and externally, the injuries on her body were no longer serious, and the bruises could not be seen even though the thick winter clothes covered her.

Liang Guanjing stood firm in the courtyard, and started to make moves. She asked Lu Bingrong, the guard who served Old General Liang, to practice. Among the ten moves, Liang Guanjing didn't have the upper hand at all, and he couldn't shake the mountain-like Lu Bingrong at all.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Miss's martial arts has not improved, but she has regressed a lot." Lu Bingrong smiled modestly, but his words and actions did not give in.

"I've been in the palace all year round, and I've been slack in practice, especially since I don't have a good opponent. Naturally, I've regressed." Liang Guanjing was in a hurry, and started to play tricks. He slanted his claws from under his ribs, intending to dig out the root of Lu Bingrong's leg.

Lu Bingrong barely dodged it, his face changed, and Old General Liang cursed angrily, "Stop it! What a disgrace!"

Su Mingyue hugged Mrs. Tang and looked at it from the porch, and felt that Liang Guanjing's move was too outrageous, not to mention that he didn't have the majesty of a queen, even as the jewel in the palm of Old General Liang, it was too much to tease a personal guard like this.

"I can't beat him!" Liang Guanjing conceded.

Lu Bingrong cupped his fists, "Acceptance. Don't worry about it, Miss. The enemy's current methods are not important. Win or lose will be determined."

Liang Yuncheng said: "Don't call her Miss, she has already left the court, call her Queen Empress."

Lu Bingrong quickly knelt down, "Don't blame your mother, it's Lu who offended me."

Liang Guanjing said: "The academicians of the Imperial Academy are vying to be proud of joining the cabinet, but it turns out that once a woman leaves the cabinet, she can't even be called a young lady. I should have known that I would not leave the cabinet."

Liang Yuncheng said: "Go back to the palace after breakfast today, and plead guilty to the emperor."

"Daddy is trying to drive me out?" Liang Guanjing tilted her head and tied her cuffs tightly.

"Where do I dare to touch the empress? Your wings are so stiff now that you dare to beat the emperor, but you can still take me as a bad old man?" Liang Yuncheng turned his head away from Liang Guanjing, and every word he said was angry. .

"That's a good relationship. I just want to stay in the Liang Mansion. What can you do to me?"

Just as I was talking, a young girl behind the door said: "Auntie, have you finished training? But it's time to take a bath and change clothes. Everyone is waiting for you to have breakfast together."

Liang Yuncheng pointed to his granddaughter again and said, "Don't call me Auntie, call me Empress."

Another head poked out from behind the girl. It was a girl of eight or nine years old. She looked at Liang Guanjing curiously.

Liang Guanjing pulled Su Mingyue over and introduced the two parties. It turned out that they were two girls from the eldest brother of the Liang family, one named Yun and the other named Wen.The other elder brothers above Liang Guanjing did not stay behind. The second elder brother was engaged but not married, the third elder brother was away from home, and the fourth elder brother was originally married. So he made the decision to let the widow leave Liang's mansion and marry another. How could she know that the girl had a strong temper, so she committed suicide that night.She was rescued, and Taijun Dong never mentioned the second marriage, so she stayed in the Liang Manor. Now Liang Guanjing's sister-in-law is weak and sick, so the fourth sister-in-law is in charge of the house.Originally, there was a fifth elder brother, but few people knew about it, because he was sick and died early when he was young, and he didn't live past ten years old.

Sisters, sisters, aunts and aunts talked to each other, so they didn't remember Liang Yuncheng in their hearts. The girls entered the west wing together, waited for Liang Guanjing to take a bath and freshen up, and then went to the east wing to call Dong Taijun together. In the dining room, sister-in-law Fourth sister-in-law has been waiting for a long time.

The two sisters-in-law and their maids were about to kneel down and salute the queen, Liang Guanjing hurriedly helped them up, "This is our own home, don't be too polite, it's just a matter of life."

The sister-in-law smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a noble status, and you still have to have the courtesy you should have. You don't have to let Brother Yun and Brother Wen know the heights of heaven and earth."

Liang Guanjing said: "Brother Yun and Wen are all good boys, and good boys can't be spoiled."

The fourth sister-in-law said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but the empress is still so forthright and doesn't want to see outside of us."

Dong Taijun made active chopsticks, everyone started eating, but Liang Yuncheng was forgotten. Old General Liang passed by the dining room twice, and even Su Mingyue couldn't help but look back at him. She looked at the people around her suspiciously. Liang Guanjing, Liang Guanjing put down his chopsticks, still chewing on the pastry, and patted Liang Yuncheng's shoulder with his greasy hands.

"Master, why don't you come over for dinner?"

Liang Yuncheng pushed her hand away, "Don't eat, I'm going to court."

Liang Guanjing was stunned, "You fainted in the court yesterday, but you didn't ask for leave?"

"Never."

Liang Guanjing said: "That's okay, just let Lao Lu take a trip, if he doesn't ask for leave for you, you fainted yesterday, the emperor will not blame you."

Liang Yuncheng was dragged to sit on the top, the maid served the rice porridge in time, and arranged the chopsticks, and he started to eat along the slope, but he ate very seriously and didn't speak at all.

Su Mingyue had strict rules in Su's family, and she never spoke during meals. She thought the same should be true for Liang's noble families. Isn't Old General Liang setting an example now?

But it was the youngest granddaughter, Brother Wen, who said: "Grandfather passed out in the court yesterday, and Liang's house became a mess. Mother said that my grandfather is full of energy and can live to 99. He gets up every morning to practice kung fu with Uncle Lu. , a Yanyue Saber danced fiercely." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, "It can be seen that the court hall is not a good place, grandpa, you have to take care of your health, if you can't go today, don't go."

Dong Taijun hurriedly called Brother Wen over, and hugged her into his arms, "Brother Wen, don't cry, my grandfather will live to 99."

Liang Yuncheng was also moved for a moment. He touched Brother Wen's head and sighed that he didn't hurt her in vain. "Brother Wen, don't worry, it's just pretending that grandpa fainted."

"Pretend?"

"Hush!" Liang Yuncheng made a gesture of silence, "You can't speak out, this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

Su Mingyue was so stunned that she didn't know what to say, but all the female members of the Liang family remained calm and had their own breakfast, as if they were used to it.It is also said that it is better for everyone to pretend not to know about the serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

Liang Guanjing came over and took a bun for Su Mingyue, "Eat more."

After breakfast, Liang Yuncheng said that he was dizzy, so he left the table early. The sisters and sisters-in-law changed places and went to Dong Taijun's room to talk together. .Su Mingyue said that her stupid brother is now being raised by his mother-in-law in his hometown in Jiangzhou and lives in a small dark room, where his mother used to live in. Fortunately, he is so stupid that he doesn't know what to do.He also said that his father later married three concubines, the most powerful of which is now the head of the second wife, and the other two concubines are not idle people. Everyone was fighting in the courtyard in a daze, and even looked up during the day. See you with your head down, greet each other with a smile, and wish each other well.Su Yunhai's house is so restless, because there are no more males, and if someone in the yard finally gets pregnant, she will inevitably have a miscarriage, or she will not live to be three or two years old.Now that he is nearly fifty years old, whether he can have a child in old age depends entirely on luck.

After hearing this, everyone was amazed.

Su Mingyue didn't dare to say, what she saw in the Liang Mansion was nothing short of strange.The head of the family does not have the slightest dignity, and if the sisters, mothers-in-law and aunts are arguing together, if Su Yunhai mentions it, there must be no rules at all.

The fourth sister-in-law asked again: "I heard that you have a second sister who is already in her early twenties. How could your father keep her at home and not talk to her?"

"My second sister is also an idiot. She admired Gu Changfeng, the general who believed in martial arts. She would not marry unless she was a king. She died several times after looking for her. My father also had nothing to do with her. Although he also thought she was ashamed, he still let her stay. At home. My second sister's mother's family is still very prestigious. Her brother is now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Although the younger sister of Mr. Ke Jingsong is gone, she was still married back then. Naturally, my father did not embarrass my second sister. I have been raised like this all the time. I am different..." I was about to shed tears as I spoke, "If it wasn't for...the queen took care of me, I don't even know if I would still be alive now. The empress blamed me I am the emperor, it is clearly my fault, I am simply a bastard. The old lady can allow me to be a guest of honor in the Liang residence, I am really grateful."

Everyone came together to reassure her, and said that General Xinwu was a strange man, all the girls in the capital would die or live for him, and they were willing to enter the mansion as a concubine.Brother Yun said: "I see that he is really a handsome man with extraordinary appearance, no one in the whole capital can match him, don't blame your second sister, you refuse to commit yourself to the emperor, but the reason is the same?"

Su Mingyue looked at Liang Guanjing, her face flushed immediately.

Brother Yun just laughed, and said to her mother: "It's better to let grandma decide, let's marry Gu Changfeng together."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family went to see her hot chestnuts, "Girl in the boudoir, you want to marry someone as a concubine with all your heart, and the Liang family's face will be completely embarrassing for you."

Dong Taijun said: "Your aunt can't get married, but I think you can."

Brother Yun was overjoyed, so he asked Taijun Dong to keep his word, and went to Gu's mansion to match her tomorrow. She was so shameless and made everyone in the room laugh, even her mother couldn't help but laugh. Poke her directly in the cheek.While talking, someone from outside came to report that Liang Guanjing's wet nurse, Yao Shi, had come to seek refuge with her two children.

Dong Taijun was a little surprised, "I always refused to let her come before, what news did I get today?"

Liang Guanjing hurriedly said: "Please come quickly."

If Mama Yao got Liang Guanjing a few days ago, she would bring Brother Lin and Brother Xu over here, but she came too fast for fear that the letter Liang Guanjing promised to write to the Liang House hadn't arrived yet, and she came too slowly for fear that the nobleman would forget things and delay child's future.She naturally didn't know about Liang Guanjing's imprisonment, and it was a coincidence that if she came yesterday, the Liang House was in a mess, thinking that no one would pay attention to her, and Liang Guanjing happened to be there today, so there is no need to talk about the ins and outs.

Yao's mother brought Brother Lin and Brother Xu into Dong Taijun's room, and saw a room full of girls and sisters, but for a moment she didn't know who to kneel down to and whom to say goodbye to, Dong Taijun quickly sent her maid to help the three of them up , also sat down on the side.

Brother Lin mentioned Liang Guanjing's youngest brother, Liang Qingyu. Liang Guanjing said, "Why don't you see Qingyu? He's not in the mansion? It's not long after the Lantern Festival. Has the academy started yet?"

Dong Taijun said: "I didn't know where I went to the wild years ago. At the end of the year, Indra formed a clique and the son of Dingbeihou's family had an appointment to fight in the small Nanshan temple outside the academy. My husband criticized me for not writing a good policy. , actually beat Mr. severely. The academy told him not to go after the next year, but to find a private school to teach himself. Your father received a letter from the academy and was so angry that he wanted to hang him up and beat him. He didn’t wait for anyone to tie him up, just a monkey It was as if he jumped over the wall and went out, and never came back.”

Liang Guanjing smiled wryly, "It really seems like something he can do."

Dong Taijun said: "Your father said that Zhuzi was stubborn. In fact, I know Qingyu. He can remember books with a vivid memory, has unique insights in everything, and can stay calm in the face of major events. He is a man who can be made. Let's talk about the Liao Dynasty. , he must follow you deep into the enemy camp to practice and practice. I am worried, but your father actually let him out. Fortunately, he was able to escape unscathed. It can be seen that he is definitely not someone who is waiting for you. But now I don’t know how to do it. Let him turn his prodigal son back."

Liang Guanjing said: "It's not a day or two for him to wander outside. There are precedents in the early years."

"Your father blames me for being incapable of discipline." Dong Taijun was also sad, "It's hard to be a stepmother. When did I take care of you guys? Naturally, I also took care of him. His thick skin and sweet mouth are the best at coaxing people. If I made a mistake, I knew it was wrong. Before I could turn my face, I hugged me and kissed me madly. No matter how angry I was, I couldn't help it. I really like this child, and the time I spent on him is more than all of you. Many. But I am old, and I can be his grandmother in terms of age, so I can't do anything cruel."

Liang Guanjing said: "There is no need to be cruel, the key is to find someone to restrain him."

"Who are you looking for?" Dong Taijun asked.

Everyone in the room is helpless.

Brother Lin heard that Liang Qingyu was so stubborn that Jinling Academy didn't want him anymore, and his dream of being a companion was suddenly shattered, and he felt resentful in his heart.

At this moment, Shen Bo, the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion, said outside the door: "The servants of the family have gathered in the courtyard and waited for a long time, but they are sent by the empress."

Liang Guanjing complained to Taijun Dong: "Uncle Shen was taught badly by his father, and he actually called me Queen Mother."

Dong Taijun was about to get up, "Why are they all gathered in the atrium, what is this for?"

"It's okay, I asked them to go. I happened to know sister Mingyue, brother Lin, brother Xu, and Yao's mother left the house a few years ago. Many people don't know her. From now on, they are all members of my family. They should know each other. of."
