Let Me Pursue You

The audience was amazed. Yuan Yu was blunt and said it quickly, but no one expected that the princess would take over happily.

I'm afraid this is what people often say that birds of a feather flock together, when a fairy flower meets a fairy flower, there is a sharp sound, and sparks are sparked.

But the princess didn't think about it carefully, if the ointment made by Yuan's family was really effective, how could Yuan Yu become so black?

Yuan Yu also choked. In fact, he just couldn't make it up, and thought that Da Zhou regards white as beauty, and he was troubled by his skin color so that he couldn't get into Chang'an Shuangmei, so he has been troubled for many years. Seeing that this Princess Jiahu seems to have similar troubles, so he mentioned this .

Now that he met her sincere gaze, he felt a little guilty, he hesitated and said: "Yuan was in a hurry this morning, so he dropped the ointment, princess, wait a moment, someone will deliver it in a while."

Hearing this sentence "Yuan Mou", Jiahu seemed to realize something: "The general is Mrs. Lu's elder brother?"

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the queen took the conversation before Yuan Yu had a chance to speak, and then told Jia Hu that in fact, such ointment was already available in the womb, so she diverted her attention to other places.

She just smiled and talked about other things, but she just glanced at Yuan Yu, seeing that he seemed to be dodging on purpose, she began to think about it curiously.

In March of Yangchun, the sun is shining by the Taiye Pool, and the gentle wind makes the lake surface wrinkled and finely cracked, forming circles of lines. Everyone chatted and laughed back and forth, except for the thirteenth prince who was always eating fruit, each of them secretly had a handful of thoughts in their hearts.

It is the most obvious concern of the old nine, Zheng Pei, that is, he has no interest in Jiahu, but instead glances at Yuan Cixian from time to time, as if he is full of pity, why is such a fairy already a married woman. It wasn't until Lu Shiqing stared at him solemnly that he had no choice but to stop.

When the tea banquet was about to end, the queen asked if Lu Shiqing's boy was in good health.

At the beginning, the robbery of Yuan Cixian's mother and son was a big deal, and almost everyone knew about it. Emperor Huining ordered a strict investigation, but of course they couldn't find Xiju and King Heping, and finally went to Lu Shiqing, a political opponent. If you put a **** bowl on it, you will be the master of the Yuan and Lu families.

Lu Shiqing didn't think about the saint at all, Xiju and King Heping wanted to get rid of him, and he wanted to get rid of him, but he couldn't rely on the old emperor, it was expected that this matter would be handled like this, so he thanked him calmly. Now being taken care of by the queen, she also has a good temper, and answered a few words in an official tone.

Then I heard the Queen say: "That's good, bring Gai'er to the palace for me to see. No, it's good to be with Ye'er as a companion."

The "Ye'er" in her mouth is the current eldest son of the emperor of Nanzhao, the "son" of Xiju and Shaohe. The Nanzhao royal family used the "thimble method" for naming, and the first word of the child's name followed the last word of the father's name. For example, Xiju's father is called Zixi, and Xiju's son is called Juye.

Yuan Cixian heard that Juye arrived in Chang'an City one day after Yuan Zhen was exchanged. After all, Xiju was not so hasty, and used the child Lu Shiqing sent back as a fake, but used the heirs of a Han woman and a Nanzhao man that had been arranged earlier to make up the number.

After all, you have to mix blood, right?

Lu Shiqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, there was no reason to refuse at this time, he just said that he would definitely come when he had time. When the banquet was over and the nobles left, he led Yuan Cixian to the sedan chair parked outside.

At this time, everyone had almost left, but a voice suddenly came from the empty palace entrance: "Cousin Cixian!"

Lu Shiqing's teeth itched, he stopped, and turned his head to look with Yuan Cixian, and saw Zheng Pei chasing up, his face turned pale for a while, and he held a pair of wooden dolls in his hand, saying they were showing them to the cousin. The nephew played with the cousin and niece.

Although Yuan Cixian felt that Zheng Pei was indeed a little frivolous at the beginning, she couldn't say she hated him. After all, in this deep palace, a prince like him who doesn't kill and set fire, and doesn't take by force is considered pure. He was weak, and he was favored by the sage to avoid being used as a pawn. Part of it was a blessing in disguise, and part of it was because of his clean foundation.

She felt that Zheng Pei ran away until his face turned pale just to give away the right doll, so it's okay to accept it, but after all Lu Shiqing is standing here, of course he has to make the decision, or he won't be blown away by the sour air.

She didn't speak or move, Lu Shiqing was satisfied, and said to her lightly: "His Royal Highness has a heart, accept it." Then he said to Zheng Pei, "His Royal Highness is concerned. The next official will take Yaoyao back first, and another day Come again to pay homage to Your Highness."

Hearing this "Yo Yao", Yuan Cixian said "Oh" in his heart, took the plaything with a smile, and said: "Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince, Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhen will definitely like it."

Zheng Pei forced a smile, then turned and left.

The spring is so bright, but his back is strangely bleak.

Lu Shiqing silently watched her off on the spot, and waited for Zheng Pei to disappear before continuing to lead Yuan Cixian outside. When she saw her tilt her head and asked herself: "Why do you let others know my baby name?"

Because Zheng Pei called her Cixian, of course he was going to overwhelm her. But it was a bit naive to say this, he said perfunctorily: "I just called it out by the way." Then said, "It doesn't matter if you let him know. I don't have the guts to call you."

Yuan Cixian scoffed. He didn't say a word, and when he got into the carriage and left the palace gate, there were no idlers on both sides, then he asked him what the sage's plan was for treating the Uighurs.

Anyone with eyes could see that the queen clearly wanted to match Zheng Zhuo and Jia Hu.

Lu Shiqing said: "What the sage means is that among the few princes who were present just now, except for the thirteen princes who are still young and purely accompanying them, it is a good thing for anyone to marry the Uighur princess. But the best one is Ah Zhuo."

That's right. Yuan Cixian couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

Emperor Huining used Zheng Zhuo as a **** again.

The Great Zhou has been so weak that it is not enough to be threatened once or twice by the mere Nanzhao, and now he has to take the initiative to put down his face and seek marriage with the Uyghur, but the old emperor is still indulging in the dream of a prosperous and powerful country, and only wants to take advantage of it for the time being. Uighurs are used, and they are not willing to allow the future princes and grandchildren of Dazhou to be stained with foreign blood.

It is impossible for Jiahu to be a concubine after marrying. Since she is a wife, she will give birth to the eldest son in the future. So in fact, no matter which prince marries her, it means that in the heart of the old emperor, he is cut off from the throne.

And the sage chose to let Zheng Zhuo be this person.

To this day, there is nothing unclear. No matter how Zheng Zhuo retreated in recent years, the old emperor never planned to appoint this son as the crown prince. He may have had moments of wavering, but in the end he still chose the thirteenth prince who was the least likely to threaten him.

For the emperor, the throne will be handed over sooner or later, but the son wants to advance one day, one moment? That won't work. Therefore, Zheng Hong, who was young and ignorant, naturally became his most reassuring person, and he happened to be raised under the name of his successor, so he could be less critical.

As for Zheng Zhuo, Emperor Huining also noticed that this son was very affectionate and righteous, even in his opinion, so heavy that he was a little dull and a little "trapped by love and righteousness". Such a person is just suitable to be a good brother who assists his younger brother, isn't he?

So what the old emperor thinks about his sons now is: Erlang, he colluded with foreigners and did such a rebellious thing, he lost all face and died without a whole body. As for King Sanlang Ping, he is ambitious and also involved with other races. Erlang's actions this time may be inseparable from his instigation, so this scourge cannot continue, and we must find a way to eradicate it as soon as possible. As for Liulang, it can be used to establish relations with Uighurs. As for Thirteenth Lang, he can consider inheriting the Datong.

As for himself, let's continue to live a long life.

But Yuan Cixian knew that if Emperor Huining lived a hundred years longer, the Great Zhou Dynasty would really be over. She frowned and said, "How are you going to deal with it?"

If Jiahu married Zheng Zhuo, let alone Emperor Huining, the courtiers would probably have objections to this.

Lu Shiqing said lightly: "According to the current situation, the diplomatic relationship maintained by in-laws is too fragile. I was ordered to negotiate with in-laws earlier, but in fact I have reached a consensus with the Uighur Khan in the Han court, and I don't intend to call Princess Kadhu seriously. Marry which prince in the court. Khan sending his daughter to Chang'an this time is just a superficial matter, after all, the army of the Great Zhou is still fighting with them, isn't it?"

Since the Uighur side didn't have such plans, Yuan Cixian was relieved, and heard him say: "Khan had already hinted to the saint before sending his daughter here, roughly meaning that he didn't have many children under his knees, and only this one was of the right age. It is a great honor for Uighur to marry Da Zhou, the beloved treasure, but after all, it is a distant marriage, and he hopes that his daughter will indeed find a good husband, and only when his daughter is satisfied can he feel at ease."

In other words, if Jiahu doesn't like it, Emperor Huining can't force him to grant an order, otherwise the relationship can be achieved, but the original intention of trying to make friends will be ruined.

"So, Princess Gahu was entrusted by Khan beforehand?"

Lu Shiqing nodded: "That's right. Khan told her to come to Chang'an for a visit, see Zhou Jing's scenery and playthings, and then pick her up."

"This time Uighur Khan is not a black heart. He specially asked his daughter to come here. It fulfills your mission as an envoy and also saves each other's face." Yuan Cixian thought for a while, and remembered another thing, "But do you feel that Princess Jiahu seems to be so interested in my elder brother?"

Lu Shiqing had a bad expression on his face: "It's quite similar to the way you looked at me before."

"..." Yuan Cixian pinched his arm lightly, "Be serious."

Oh, she always liked to make jokes in the past, but now he is not serious, he thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, she probably has a crush on your elder brother, or 'followed' your Yuan family's entire family."

Yuan Cixian sighed. That's the reason. The Yuan family has already had a dirty relationship with Nanzhao, so how can they have any relationship with Uyghur again.

Brother's marriage is indeed a troublesome matter. Before that, it was not that the Yuan family was not in a hurry to make arrangements, but that they had been unable to make arrangements. After all, the marriage between the Jiang and Yuan families was only done with the permission of the sage, presumably it meant to tell the Jiang family to keep an eye on the Yuan family. Now if someone who doesn't fit the Sacred Heart comes, Emperor Huining won't nod. If someone comes who doesn't fit the Sacred Heart, wouldn't that add a second pair of eyes and ears to the Yuan family, a second Jiang Birou?

She said: "The little girl is quite cute, but her identity is a bit sensitive, so she can't make it, it's a pity."

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, what I'm afraid of is that the back and forth at the banquet has already reached the ears of the sage, and it will have to add fuel to the precarious situation of the Yuan family.

Lu Shiqing saw through her thoughts, but he seemed not worried about this matter from the beginning to the end, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, the most important thing now is King Ping. Before he is dealt with, the sage has no time to take care of the Yuan family."

That's true. Ping Wang Yigao is a bold man, and this time he showed great strength in the Turkic matter. The old emperor really couldn't tolerate him being presumptuous, but because the forces in Huainan were not easy to deal with, he couldn't use his sword for a while.

She nodded: "What about after Prince Ping is dealt with?"

He smiled: "There will be no future."

From Lu Shiqing's words, Yuan Cixian heard that a storm was about to come, but looking at Chang'an City, it seemed that it was still wrapped in peace and tranquility.

A few days later, she received a message from Yuan Yu asking for help.

Here's the thing. After using Yuanjia's ointment, Jiahu said that it didn't work at all, and asked someone several times to ask if he was bluffing people, or if she used the wrong method. If it's the latter, I hope Yuan Yu can show her a demonstration.

The servant with the message imitated Yuan Yu's headache for Yuan Cixian, and said vividly: "Isn't this short-sighted? The tofu seller in the square market also said that eating her tofu would turn white. I ate it all the time. I almost vomited the tofu for a whole month, and it was useless. I still paid the money, and I didn’t go to others to settle the bill! Besides, I said it’s white and white, but it’s not white, anyway. It's moist, isn't it?"

Putting aside his worries, Yuan Cixian really felt that this was quite funny. But she didn't have a good idea for a while, and was in a hurry to enter the palace, so she sent the servants back first, saying that I will talk about it later.

After she gave her orders, she and Lu Shiqing took Yuan Zhen and Yuan Shu to the Hanliang Hall of Daming Palace.

The queen at the front raised her mouth. The couple wanted to be perfunctory, but at this moment the nobleman sent a letter again, so they didn't refuse any more. The left and right just took the child into the palace, and the appointment was still with the thirteenth prince. place, nothing will go wrong.

Shi Cui and Pick Zhi each held one, Lu Shiqing and Yuan Cixian walked ahead, and when they arrived at Hanliang Hall, they saw the thirteen princes and the queen next to each other, and there was a rocking cart beside it, and the person lying in it was presumably Juye.

Ever since Shaohe got married, the queen took more care of Zheng Hong, and often asked him about his studies when he went to pay his respects to her Penglai Hall. But this time when I saw the Lu family couple, it was not suitable for her, so I moved here.

The two saluted the queen and Zheng Hong.

The queen warmly invited them to sit down. Zheng Hong looked extremely excited, his eyes rolled around, staring directly at the children in Shicui and Caizhi's arms. "Lu Shilang, can I hug them?"

Zheng Hong is six years old, and he has grown in stature, but he is still a child after all, and his arm strength is difficult to bear.

Lu Shiqing smiled kindly at him: "I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to hug you, so don't hurt you."

Zheng Hong patted his chest: "I can hug! I practice martial arts with Sixth Brother every day, and I have hugged Yeer before."

The queen said yes, but told him not to make trouble, it would be bad if he fell the child.

He refused, and looked at everyone eagerly.

Zheng Hong is the youngest in this deep palace, and he doesn't have many playmates on weekdays, so it's very boring to think about it, so he became interested when he saw children younger than him. Yuan Cixian relented a bit, and said, "It's okay, just let Shicui and Caizhi help."

Zheng Hong winked at him and made a mouth gesture: Master's wife is the most beautiful in the world.

She laughed, but she didn't expect him to remember this, so she asked Shi Cui to carry Yuan Zhen up to give him a "taste". Unexpectedly, Zheng Hong shook his head and said no, then pointed to Yuan Shu in Caizhi's arms and said, "I want to hug that!"

Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows: Huh?

Yuan Cixian also became vigilant all of a sudden: What's the matter with this differential treatment?
