The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Chu Ran's voice was not loud, but clear enough.

Lu Shi was dizzy in front of her eyes, she stood up on the table, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Go by yourself."

"Go by yourself, then don't follow me." Chu Ran was dizzy and felt thirsty. She glanced left and right and didn't see the water, so she had to give up.She didn't even look at Lu Shi, and walked out by herself.

After leaving the house, she leaned on the wall and walked, standing on the porch, not knowing where to go.

Lu Yi kindly reminded her: "Go left."

As the night was dark, Axiu, the maidservant behind her, came over with a lamp, illuminating the bluestone road under her feet.Chu Ran stared at the light for a moment, connected the light, and walked to the right by herself.

Lu Shi raised his forehead, and Axiu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you have made a mistake. Go left and it will be your yard."

"Shut up." Chu Ran reprimanded, and walked to the right with the lamp in hand.Axiu was worried that she would fall, so she followed cautiously, walking to the right was the Prime Minister's study, Axiu stomped her feet, "Your Highness."

Lu Shi walked over, stopped in front of Chu Ran, and tentatively asked, "How about carrying you?"

Chu Ran's eyes lit up, Lu Shi smiled, handed the lamp to Axiu, and bowed down in front of Chu Ran.

Lu Shi's expression could not be seen clearly on the dim stone road, Axiu was stunned, always feeling that something was wrong.When she was surprised, Chu Ran lay on Lu Shi's back, wrapping her arms around Lu Shi's neck.

The two were very close.

Lu Shi froze, her neck was hot and humid, she frowned, Chu Ran unconsciously leaned against Lu Shi, leaned her head on her shoulder, and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

It's not close to Churan's courtyard from here, Lu Shi is not strong enough, and he can hardly walk with her on his back. She took a deep breath and said, "If you fall, you can't blame me."

"Fall together, I don't want you." Chu Ran responded, and the corner of her lips touched Lu Shi's ear, which burned Lu Shi's heart.

Axiu, who was holding the lamp, felt that Princess Xinping was deliberately torturing Lu Xiang, so she was so angry that she wanted to pull the two of them away.

Lu Xiang bullied her when he couldn't see her, and now he refuses to let her go when he's drunk.

It was useless for her to be angry, Lu Xiang just indulged His Highness blindly.

The two people in front walked very slowly. Lu Shi got used to the darkness in front of his eyes some time ago. Today, the bright moon hangs high, and the faint silver light coats the scenery in the prime minister's mansion with a thin moonlight.

Lu Shi's feet were vacant, and he tried his best to step steadily. Chu Ran's breathing was very clear in his ears. She stared at her feet, and Chu Ran suddenly said, "Have you ever carried someone else's back?"

"No, what about Your Highness?" Lu Shi's tone was a little hurried, which showed that she was really struggling.

Chu Ran thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Lu Shi paused: "Who is it?"

"My brother." Chu Ran said.

Lu Shi stepped forward again, with a calm tone, "Your Highness has a deep affection for the prince."

Chu Ran's thoughts followed Lu Shi's, closed her eyes slightly, and pondered for a moment: "Then what is the Prime Minister to me?"

Lu Shi was troubled by her question, so he kept silent and ignored her.Chu Ran waited for a long time without waiting for a reply. She raised her head and whispered in Lu Shi's ear, "Your habit is not good, I don't like it."

She hugged Lu Shi so tightly that Lu Shi couldn't breathe for a moment, and it took some time before he reached the yard, but Chu Ran pointed at her yard and shouted: "Here we are, go here."

The two people's yards are very close, and Chu Ran's yard is only a few steps away. Lu Shi retorted, "It's not yours."

"It's mine. It's the same for you to watch the door." Chu Ran argued.The two courtyards are separated, and it happens that the Prime Minister's Mansion has just been repaired, and the plaque on the courtyard gate has not been added yet, which is indeed somewhat similar.

Lu Shi put her down and said, "Go in and see if there are purple vines inside?"

Chu Ran didn't wait for her to finish, and stepped in directly. She tripped over the steps, and Lu Shi frowned and went to support her.Chu Ran took her by the hand and walked into the inner room like this, forgetting about looking for wisteria flowers.

After entering, she naturally climbed onto the small couch and lay down. Lu Shi was a little tired, so he ordered Axiu to fetch some hot water, and she drank a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat in her heart.

The face of the person on the small couch was flushed, he was lying down, but turned over for some reason, the sleeping position of the drunkard made the drunkard's body undulate in a different and delicate curve, the dress on his body was naturally wrinkled, and the collar on the chest It also spread out, probably hot.

She was like a lazy cat, her wine was surging, her fair face was flushed with a thin layer of flush, which added a bit of glamorous feeling that was not seen in ordinary days.Lu Shi walked over, and before she got close, she opened her eyes suddenly, with mist in her eyes, she stayed for a while, and said, "It's so hot, is there ice?"

At this time, the powerful and wealthy families in Yingdu will use ice to dissipate heat.Lu Shi doesn't like to use ice very much. There is an ice room in Xiang's mansion, and it is quick for people to get it, but she did not agree to Chu Ran.

Drunk people are greedy for cold, and are more likely to catch the cold. She ordered the maid to invite the doctor.

In the previous life, the prince left suddenly, she almost suspected that His Majesty used poison to control the prince, even King Heng was like this.Chu Ran also loves to participate in political affairs. If His Majesty is cruel, he will follow the example of the other two.

Chu Ran felt hot and wanted to get up to open the window. Lu Shi held her down and said, "Don't move, wait for the doctor to come."

"Doctor?" Chu Ran didn't quite understand what the doctor wanted to do, so he simply didn't think about it, and leaned softly in Lu Shi's arms the next moment.

Being leaned against by her like this, Lu Shi's breath was stagnant at first, and then he stretched out his arms to embrace her. Before he could think about it, the maid led the doctor to rush over.Her eyelashes trembled, and she helped Chu Ran to lie down.

Chu Ran leaned on the hard couch, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help but miss the feeling of leaning on Lu Shi just now, and wanted to get up again, Lu Shi pressed her: "Your Highness, bear with it for a cup of tea."

The doctor bowed his head, not daring to raise his head, he only lightly pressed the girl's white and slender wrist on the couch, and shook his head after a while.

Lu Shi's fingertips trembled slightly, and he raised his chin towards Axiu.

Axiu understood and led the doctor out.

Feeling drunk, Chu Ran lay drowsy on the couch, she touched Lu Shi's wrist, leaned towards her, and then fell asleep leaning against her.Knowing that she was alert, Lu Yi didn't dare to move, but just stared at her quietly.

He didn't dare to move until the next door was numb. He put her on the couch and saw her wearing a dress. After thinking about it for a while, he untied the belt and took it off.

Chu Ran didn't feel it, and let Lu Shi do it, very obediently.

Thinking of the tense swords and swords during the day, Lu Shi sighed silently, probably only when he was drunk could he be so quiet and cute.Although she was helpless, she was glad that Chu Ran was still alive.

If you want to remove Chu Ran from the government, you will be safe and smooth after the death of the prince.The prince's illness was diagnosed by the imperial physician long ago, and he would not survive.

In the previous life, the prince died before reaching the weak crown, many years earlier than the imperial doctor estimated. Therefore, she felt that the poison on the prince's body had been poisoned in advance.

****

The next day, after a rest, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed an old lady, Lu Xiang's mother.

Before the relocation of the prime minister's mansion, there was no time for a banquet. Lu Shi didn't intend to be too ostentatious, so he pressed the matter down, but ordered people to make the plaques of the two houses as soon as possible, so as not to make people confused again.

After the servants retreated, the old lady came over, and the maidservants retreated.

Axiu brought hot water to Chu Ran who had just woken up.Chu Ran felt a splitting headache, leaned on the pillow, glanced at the strange decorations around her, and was a little uncertain where she was.

Most of Chu Ran can't remember things when he's drunk, and Axiu won't mention it after receiving Lu Xiang's orders. She will leave after serving Chu Ran's breakfast.

Chu Ran called her: "Shut up today, can the prime minister be at the house?"

"Yes, talk to the old lady in the front hall." Axiu respectfully said.

old lady?After hearing this, Chu Ran remembered what had happened in her dream. The old lady seemed to have a bad relationship with Lu Xiang.Lu Xiang's father was the Marquis of Runan, who had been replaced by generations. He was still alive when the first queen was engaged, and passed away a few years later.

He is dissatisfied with this marriage, the crown prince is weak, and the marriage with Princess Xinping will undoubtedly implicate the entire Hou Mansion.

Also dissatisfied is the current Marquis of Runan, he is the leader, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Shi's ability could surpass him, making the rest of the Lu family unable to hold their heads up.

The two brothers and sisters are close relatives, but they are strangers like passers-by.

After Chu Ran had breakfast, she went to look for Lu Shi, wanting to talk about the divorce.

The old lady is in the flower hall. She came early today, and she also talked about the matter with Princess Xinping. She and her eldest son, Marquis Runan, have the same idea, and it is better to retire the marriage.

With sharp eyebrows and eyes, she persuaded: "Since Princess Xinping wants to retire, why don't you agree?"

Lu Shi lowered his eyes and said: "My marriage with Your Highness was decided by the queen first. Your Highness is young and ignorant, so how can I mess around with her? If His Majesty blames me, how can I bear it?"

"Princess Xinping already has this intention, why don't you just push the boat, your Majesty blames it, what does it have to do with you?" the old lady forced, she always felt much shorter in front of Lu Shi.Especially after paying homage to the prime minister, it seems that they want to completely cut off contact with the Lu family.

Lu Shi didn't mind these things much. In the previous life, the Lu family was attached to King Heng, and after the death of the crown prince, his status rose.Hengwang ascended the throne as emperor, and the Lu family's fortunes rose. It was true that her vision was better than hers.

She said in a deep voice: "I won't resign the engagement, but mother wants to stay in the house for meals?"

The old lady was trembling with anger, Lu Shi was almost playing with fire, she couldn't help but slapped the table and said, "Don't you listen to what mother said?"

"It's the queen's decision. How can I change it? If mother wants to retreat, she should ask His Majesty herself." Lu Shi was patient, his brows and eyes were already frosted.

This marriage is almost a certainty, how can it be changed, Princess Xinping intends to withdraw from the marriage, and she dare not mention it to His Majesty until today, it can be seen that it is not as simple as what the old lady said.

The old lady felt that it was unreasonable, and coercion was useless. She had watched Lu Shi grow up. He had deep thoughts and abilities far superior to others. Now, in her opinion, he had long been out of her control.

She sighed and said: "You are not young anymore, Princess Xinping is just young now, when you are old, how can she like you again. Why don't you choose a good man to marry, and then you will be trusted by His Majesty. In your hands."

The difference of eight years is the old lady's excuse.Lu Shi knew what she meant, his eyes were calm, and he said: "I admire Princess Xinping, and I will not choose anyone else. Mother might as well go back to the house and persuade elder brother not to get too close to Prince Heng. The prince is still here. Just stand still."

The old lady didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, she stood up in shock when she heard these words, and hurried back to the house.

Lu Shi sent her out of the house.Chu Ran heard the words just now very clearly. The old lady was thinking about the future of the Lu family. Lu Xiang pinched her weaknesses and invited her out of the house with a single sentence, which was really insidious.

But the old lady left easily this time, so it might not be the case next time. When Lu Shi came back, she smiled and said, "Lu Xiang is really smart, but how should you reply next time?"

"It's His Highness's birthday in one month. I should also ask His Majesty about the marriage. Not to mention three media and six hires, it's also appropriate to choose a good and auspicious day. Your Highness, do you think there will be a next time?" Lu Shi never cared about his mother's attitude. Well, everyone has selfishness, so it's useless for her to persuade her.

She occupies a high position, has a long time, and her demeanor and appearance are incomparable to ordinary people. She is calm and unhurried, which makes Chu Ran suddenly lose interest.

When Chu Ran was about to turn around, for some reason, Lu Shi smiled lightly, like an orchid in a valley, with a clear and distant air, so she couldn't help but look at it.

Lu Xiang is a rare beauty. Although he is older than her, he cares about her in everything. Such a partner is the best. Where can I find a second person in this world.

It's just that the combination of the two of hers can't make His Majesty feel at ease, and it's not good for Prime Minister Lu or the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, she could not bear to look at it. When she was about to turn around and go back, Lu Shi called her and said, "I have pear petals here. If your highness is fine, can you make wine for me?"

Chu Ran felt strange, "Why do you ask me to brew it? Lu Xiang can do it himself. Why don't you brew it yourself?"

"I drank His Royal Highness's pear blossom wine yesterday, and it tasted very good. It made me drink it and think about it. I thought about it. Your Highness has nothing to do in the mansion. How about brewing wine to pass the time?" Lu Shi said, her words were serious, not like perfunctory hypocrisy .

Chu Ran half understood, looked at her suspiciously.Next, Lu Shi took her hand and walked into her yard.The Prime Minister's mansion is full of her confidants, so there is no need to worry about being noticed by others.

She led Chu Ran back to her yard, and Chu Ran looked around after entering, "Why did you come to my yard?"

I haven't sobered up from yesterday's wine.

Lu Shi was very helpless, the stamina of the wine was so strong, and she was still so confused after waking up all night. She pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "There are vines in your yard, just take a look here, where are they?"

When Chu Ranjing said this, she was even more confused: "But did I sleep here last night?"

Lu Shi said casually, "That's because His Highness was drunk and went to the wrong door."

"Go to the wrong door?" Chu Ran hardly suspected that Lu Shi was lying. She knew Lu Shi's temperament and would not tease her.She looked around, but couldn't remember, so she said: "Then you bothered Lu Xiang last night."

Lu Shi didn't care about this, and asked her about the ratio of wine making. Chu Ran didn't know what happened last night, but it was obvious that he occupied her house and occupied her house, which was always the unreasonable party.

She was guilty, and when Lu Shi asked, she answered.

After answering, Lu Shi frowned. The proportions were indeed wrong. Huajiu was meant for drinking and playing. She did it like this, but it was almost the same as spirits. She didn't point out these things, but turned around and took a copy. , said: "In summer, there are many white flowers and grapes, why not try other flower wines, Your Highness."

Chu Ran took it, and the handwriting on it was written by Lu Shi himself, and the handwriting was beautiful. When she was a little old, she wanted to ask, but she heard Lu Shi say: "I transcribed this ten years ago for nothing. Your Highness can take a look at it."

"Is the prime minister okay today?" Chu Ran took it, flipped through it casually, and wanted to ask something outside.

In the early morning, the scorching sun has not yet risen, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is also very refreshing.

Lu Shi knew what she was thinking, so he stopped embarrassing her, and said, "Your Majesty has agreed to repair the city wall. As for the city entering Yingdu, it should be soon."

Chu Ran was very relieved when the prime minister was doing things. Holding the booklet, her heart trembled, thinking of what Lu Shi had done, she felt extremely guilty.Although she was young, it was not the time to be reckless. Once the guilt took root in her heart, it intensified, and even surpassed the idea of ​​retiring.

The human heart is not steel, in such a situation, how can she be hard-hearted, after a while, the soft heart and guilt prevailed.

Lu Shi is a woman, how many decades she can have, the price of waiting is her golden years.She couldn't help but said, "In fact, you don't have to do so much."

"Your Highness wants to say something, you can say it directly." Lu Shi stared at Chu Ran's five fingers holding the booklet, fingertips kept rubbing the edge of the page, and his heart must have been struggling.

If she really loathed this marriage, why did she struggle and feel uneasy? She was probably thinking about His Majesty's suspicion, so she tentatively asked: "Your Highness thinks it will hurt the minister?"

Chu Ran looked up in astonishment, and after scrutinizing Shang Lu Shi, he dodged several times, not knowing how to answer.

Lu Shi said: "Your Majesty is wise, you should devote yourself to serving your ministers, if your Majesty is stupid, you should leave a way out for yourself while doing your best for your ministers. I have served Your Majesty for many years, and I know that he is very suspicious, and he is also suspicious of King Heng. But King Heng knows how to please him, if His Highness is smarter and stays away from government affairs, His Majesty will naturally not keep his eyes on you."

She walked towards Chu Ran slowly, and there was no one around. She held back her shyness and held Chu Ran's wrist: "As long as His Highness is with me, I will try my best to protect the prince. As long as he lives, he will be the prince of Chu."

After she finished speaking, she blushed slightly and pursed the corners of her lips.

As a woman, Lu Shi's palms were extremely soft, covering Chu Ran's wrists. The slight comfort was very effective. Chu Ran did not retreat, but said: "Lu Xiang, you have worked hard for more than ten years to get today's phase. It is worth giving up for me." ?”

"If Your Highness is a commoner, I would also like to be a commoner." Lu Shi said.

Chu Ran didn't answer, instead she withdrew her hand and walked away.

How can a few words make her feel at ease, and looking at the situation today, the combination of her two is almost something that no one wants to see.The last reconciliation in the previous life was always a thorn in her heart.

She couldn't pull it out, and the pain made her restless day and night.

****

In the afternoon, Chu Ran asked Axiu to find some grapes and make some wine according to the method in the brochure.

When she was cleaning the grapes in the yard, Axiu came over with honey and said: "Your Highness, the grapes may not be sweet, add some nectar, then the fruit wine will be sweet, and you won't get drunk if you drink a few more glasses."

"You know a lot?" Chu Ran washed the grapes, peeled them with an iron skewer, and stuffed one into her mouth. It was very sweet. She squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "It's very sweet. If you use nectar, you will lose the taste of grapes." gone."

"Alright, listen to Your Highness." Axiu put the nectar aside, washed her hands, and went to help.

She peeled it quickly, and she was very cheerful, so she said: "Lu Xiang knows how to make wine, and makes some every year, burying it under the tree, and sometimes even forgets to dig it. Princess Lingyi sometimes comes to ask for wine."

Chu Ran's hands trembled, the grapes fell to the ground, rolled around twice, and were covered with dust. She was a little embarrassed, and said, "Does she often come here?"

"Xiu will come here most of the time. She is a princess. Prime Minister Lu can't deal with her well, so he has to put down his official duties to entertain her. It seems that he came again just now." Axiu said casually.

Chu Ran fell silent, she remembered that Lu Shi said that she would not let Ling Yi enter the mansion when she was in the prime minister's mansion, and she forgot what she said yesterday?

fraud!

Chu Ran looked down at the crystal clear grapes in the cup, with the tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, holding back her anger, and did not speak any more.

After washing the grapes, she was not in a hurry to brew them, and instead asked Axiu, "Where is Lu Xiang's wine buried?"

Axiu only thought that she wanted to drink, and said, "It's under the tree across the wall."

"How much?" Chu Ran cleaned her hands and smiled deeply.

Axiu said: "I don't know, but Lu Xiang brewed a few jars of Hundred Flowers Wine this spring, and it hasn't been opened yet. Would Your Highness want to drink it?"

"Go and have a look." Chu Ran said.

****

When Ling Yi entered the mansion, Lu Shi ordered his staff to keep an eye on King Heng's actions. He was scolded by His Majesty yesterday and was forbidden to move around in the mansion. Small punishments and major punishments also showed His Majesty's doubts about this matter.

However, Lu Yiyi is here, the King Heng loses power, and the Queen must be in a hurry.

She told her staff: "Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Households to discuss the allocation of money to the Northwest yesterday, and I was also worried that the Marquis of Changping would feel dissatisfied. I want to give a performance to Your Majesty."

"The prime minister has a plan?" asked the aide.

"Ordering the general to send the youngest son to Yingdu, let His Majesty personally teach, one is a hostage, and the other is to let them know that His Majesty is generous, but..." Lu Shi paused, and footsteps came from outside, "Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang."

Lu Shi opened the door to greet her, and seeing Ling Yi go straight in, her eyes signaled the staff to retreat, she was puzzled, "Why did Your Highness come here?"

"I'm passing by, come in and have a look. Lu Xiang is alone in the mansion, do you feel bored? Why don't we go out to play, the scenery inside the waterside pavilion is nice and cool." Ling Yi glanced at the retreating staff, then looked at Lu Shi with a smile, Full of joy, beyond words.

Lu Shi refused: "I have something important to do and I can't get away. Your Highness might as well call someone else to go."

She was merciless, making Ling Yi feel embarrassed, and said: "Well, then don't disturb Lu Xiang, I'm going back to the palace."

Lingyi is still young, she still lives in the palace without setting up a princess mansion, she should go back when she goes out to play in the palace.

Lu Shi didn't persuade him to stay. When he was returning to the study, his staff entered and talked about what happened just now. He was quite puzzled and said, "This plan is good. To cater to His Majesty, it will only offend the generals. It will cause harm but no benefit."

Lu Shi said, "It's okay."

The staff hesitated to speak, and Lu Xiang's recent behavior became more and more puzzling, so he bowed his head and retreated.

****

Chu Ran in the courtyard had nothing to do. After digging a few jars of Baihuajiu, Axiu asked someone to send a small jar to the prince. He kept two jars for himself. When he returned to the palace, he dedicated one jar to His Majesty to please him. .

When Lu Shi came back, this year's newly brewed Baihua Niang was gone.

Chu Ran went back to the courtyard and continued to make wine, according to the booklet, with detailed steps, and finally buried it under the vines, and clapped his hands back to the house.

Lu Shi went to the court as usual, and saw the high-spirited Heng Wang in the court hall, but within two days, His Majesty changed his mind.

Standing behind the crown prince, King Heng was very polite. When he saw Lu Shi, he gave a half-respect, and said, "Lu Xiang has moved recently, and when the time comes, is this king going to bother you?"

"His Royal Highness King Heng may not be able to bother you, the mansion has not been repaired, it is really dirty and messy." Lu Shi said.

The prince didn't know why Prince Heng was able to enter the court so soon, and he was puzzled, but seeing Lu Xiang's face was calm and calm, he stopped talking and coughed lightly with his lips.

Not long after, the emperor boarded the throne. After looking around, he said: "The heirs of military generals are the hope of Chu State. I want the military generals stationed here to choose a young son to enter the capital. I will personally teach them. "

As soon as the words came out, the courtiers in the palace were shocked, and Lu Shi's expression changed slightly. After Heng Wang noticed it, he was very proud.

The crown prince was also shocked. When he was about to speak, he saw Lu Xiang shaking his head slightly at him, struggling a little in his heart, and restrained himself from answering.

After a long while, several censors went up to object one after another. The courtiers who were half kneeling in the hall, the prince glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on King Heng, who couldn't hide his pride.

Is he offering advice?

In order to please His Majesty?He was annoyed in his heart, if he did this, wouldn't it be cold to the generals, who would guard the territory for Chu.He couldn't bear it anymore, he went out to stop him, and just as he was about to speak, someone beside him spoke first.

Lu Shi held the wat board and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"What does the prime minister think is wrong?" The emperor looked at her with obvious displeasure.

All the civil and military officials in the court followed Lu Xiang's eyes, and heard her say: "The general knows what you have done, and I'm afraid it will be misunderstood, and it will be counterproductive."

After the prince was interrupted by her, he couldn't speak anymore, he just stood aside and pretended not to know.

The emperor was not furious after hearing these words, but asked instead, "How could they misunderstand?"

Lu Shi was forced to say: "I think it's better to give some rewards to the generals, and to ensure their safety when the youngest sons enter the capital. Only in this way can they serve His Majesty loyally."

The prime minister said, and the others nodded. Now, His Majesty has no room to refute this move, and only wants to appease the general.

Heng Wang said: "The king's life is the most important thing, even if their heads are taken, is it possible that they still have to resist?"

This remark was very much in line with Emperor Chu's wishes, and the rest of the people, including Lu Shi, dared not talk to him again. King Heng was arrogant, and he had already offended the general.The prince's eyebrows twitched, and he didn't dare to interrupt.

This matter is certain, and the courtiers are ordered to do it immediately.

After retreating from the court, the prince was so angry that his face flushed, he gave King Heng a cold look and then returned to the East Palace.

King Heng looked smug, stopped Lu Shi from leaving, and said with a smile: "This king is hosting a banquet tonight, can the prime minister show you some face?"

Lu Ji thought for a while, and said tactfully: "The doctor ordered you not to drink alcohol for three months, I'm afraid you will disappoint His Royal Highness Hengwang's kindness."

King Heng didn't care when he looked at her in a bad mood, after all, anyone would be angry if he got there first.After parting with the prime minister, he went back to the central palace to meet the queen.

The queen told him about this plan, Tao learned about it only after listening to the prime minister's conversation, the generals are the ones your Majesty fears, and now it happens that there is a plan, he is at ease.

When he returned to the palace, Ling Yi was still serving the queen's meal. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Heng Wang is here."

"Come and see my Lingyi." Heng Wang approached, touched her forehead, and said: "Is there a good place to go today, brother is hosting a banquet tonight, do you want to play?"

"I'm going out of the palace to have fun. There's a flower feast today, and I'll go with my sister-in-law." Ling Yi dressed up very brightly today.

As soon as King Heng heard that the princess was going, he said nothing, and sent Ling Yi back to serve the queen himself.

The queen is two years older than the previous queen. After the previous queen left, she relied on the power of her mother's family to be named queen. Now that the crown prince is sick and her grandfather's family is far in the northwest, it doesn't help.

The prince is sick, even if he doesn't die, he still has a headache.

She ate a few shrimp dumplings, and asked about the morning affairs, Wang Heng couldn't help but said: "Lu Xiang's face has changed today, I am so happy, if she didn't come out to stir up trouble, why would my son be scolded by daddy."

The queen was also happy, and said: "I also came back and heard what Ling Yi said, but I didn't think it was true. In front of Ling Yi, you can't mention it again. She is very happy with Lu Yi in her heart, so don't disturb it. "

Hearing this, King Heng was displeased, and said: "Empress Mother should know that Lu Shi and Xinping are engaged to get married after all. Why do you want Ling Yi to get involved?"

"Xinping has been dissatisfied with Lu Shi for a long time. This marriage will definitely not come true. Lingyi has the heart, so let her go, and you don't want to stop her." Lu Shi wants to ruin this marriage too.

****

As soon as the Emperor Chu's decree came out, the city of Ying capital was shaken, the military generals on the border were full of dissatisfaction, the crown prince fell ill, and he hadn't been to the morning court for a few days, and the guards in the East Palace were much stricter.

The courtiers in the court were all watching, and many people went to get along with the prime minister to inquire, but the decree came down so suddenly that almost no one knew what was going on and who made the statement.

They were very confused, they were probing inside and out, the decree had already gone to various places, and within two months, the general Proton would enter the capital of Ying.

When Chu Ran heard the news, she played chess with her teacher in the courtyard. She was not good at chess, so Lu Shi invited her to teach her. However, she was too muddy to support the wall and had no intention of learning.

The teacher has a good temper and taught carefully. Chu Ran didn't want to learn after studying for a few days, but this person came every day and couldn't be driven away.

Lu Shi came back at dusk, and she blocked people in the front yard. She was dressed in a crisp green dress today, with a green hosta inserted obliquely in her bun, her waist was slender, and the cuffs were wider than The sleeves are also much narrower, swaying like lotus leaves when walking.

A few days ago, she dug up a few jars of good wine from Lu Shi, and she felt refreshed. She dawdled up to Lu Shi, "President Lu is back, and I have something to tell you."

Lu Shi's eyes fell on her waist, his eyes were mellow, and he said lightly: "How is your highness learning chess?"

Chu Ran turned around and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, she was very obedient, and replied: "Very good, very good, I just want to ask when that person will leave?"

She dodged her eyes and almost didn't dare to look at Lu Yi.Knowing that she was guilty, Lu Shi said, "When Your Highness leaves, she will leave."

"What does the prime minister mean?" Chu Ran's tone was low, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, which Lu Shi really hated.

Lu Shi walked towards her slowly, his eyes stayed on the corners of her eyes, and said, "Instead of learning court strategy, Your Highness, it is better to learn chess skills, or female celebrities."

"What do you mean, let me make clothes for you?" Chu Ran was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Your Highness is interested, it's okay." Lu Shi said.

Chu Ran was very angry, stared twice, turned around and left, this person probably has a bad mind.Even if she married her in the dream, she never made clothes for her.

Princess Xinping was pissed off again.

Lu Shi looked at her angry back, and smiled, Chu Ran is more cheerful now than in the previous life, and will not be depressed all day long.Maybe she was right.

When she returned to her study, she handed a brochure to her staff and said, "Everyone above will be kicked out of the court, and just demoted out of Yingdu City."

The staff took over, and some of the people above served Princess Xinping. He didn't know what the prime minister meant, and asked, "If the prime minister does this, I'm afraid that Princess Xinping will resent you, and I'm afraid that the marriage will really be withdrawn."

"It's okay, His Majesty knows that these people serve His Highness, and it's useless to keep them." Lu Shi said.

Emperor Chu was thinking deeply. No matter how careful Chu Ran was, he would leave clues. Why not send him out of Beijing before he had any doubts.

The staff member sighed and went out with the brochure.

Lu Shi in the study also went to Chu Ran with a booklet.

Axiu set up a swing in the yard, imitating the mansion of the other lady's boudoir. Chu Ran hated it at first, but as time went by, she occasionally went up to sit on it.

She sat on it, tiptoeed, and the whole person flew up into the air, and the skirt drew an arc in the air.Lu Shi stopped after stepping, Fang stood still, Chu Ran was alert, landed on his toes, and stared at her.

Looking bad.

She was full of resentment, Lu Shi approached and handed her the brochure.Chu Ran didn't know what it was. After opening it, her face turned pale, and she stood up in shock: "What do you mean?"

"I want to release these things out of Yingdu City and train them outside for three years. His Highness has been in touch with them too deeply. His Majesty already knows it. It's better to break the contact first and talk about it later." Lu Shi euphemistically said.

In other words, Chu Ran is not a confused person, but once these people are released, she will be useless in Yingdu City.She hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright."

She would rather choose the former to be available to others than to be feared by His Majesty.

She was very obedient, and Lu Shi was relieved, and turned to leave, but heard Chu Ran say: "Prime Minister, it seems that I came back a little early today."

"There is nothing serious in the office, come back earlier, what's the matter with His Highness?" Lu Shi turned around, unable to grasp what Chu Ran meant.

Chu Ran wanted to ask about the outside world, but Axiu had a strict mouth and didn't say a word. She couldn't do it, so she wanted to ask a few words from Lu Shi. She couldn't say it directly. After thinking about it, she asked: "Liancheng When will you enter Yingdu?"

"About two months later." Lu Shi said.

Chu Ran was impatient, and said sarcastically, "Prime Minister really cherishes words like gold, why don't you go back." She turned and sat on the swing frame, with her toes pointing, the swing started to move.

She has been in a bad temper recently, and being forced by her teaching master has given her a headache.Lu Shi wanted to leave, but when he saw her drooping eyebrows, his heart softened, and he slowly approached behind her, "Everything is fine with the crown prince, don't worry your highness, why not think about how to deal with your majesty after returning to the palace."

Lu Shi stretched out his hand and gently pushed the swing. She had never played with this before. She had seen the younger sister of the Lu family swinging on the swing, and the people behind were just gently pushing the rope.

She is cold and withdrawn, she doesn't interact with people very much on weekdays, and she spends all day dealing with official business, especially in recent days, Chu Ran is lying on the wall, and she doesn't see her coming back to rest when she is close.

Today is rare, Chu Ran was gently pushed by her, Rumang was on his back, after shaking twice, he said: "What do you think?"

"Whatever your Highness wants, I will try my best to do it, but I can't get rid of the engagement." Lu Shi said, not being able to withdraw the engagement is her bottom line.

When Chu Ran's toes touched the ground, Lu Shi couldn't move anymore. She said, "Why didn't you withdraw from the marriage?"

Lu Shi asked back, "Why do you want to withdraw?"

"If you don't retire, what are you doing so close to Ling Yi? The prime minister turned his back on what he said. He said a few days ago that if I went back with you, you would reject Ling Yi. How did you do it?" Chu Ran sneered, she He is not a person who kneads at will, and is played like a monkey in vain.

Lu Shi had a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "Why do you care about these things, Your Highness?"

"If you don't care about it, then you're going to call off the engagement. What do you want me to do?" Chu Ran felt very anxious, especially when he saw Lu Shi's calm attitude, it seemed like adding fuel to the fire.

Lu Shi stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "I really can't figure out what your Highness is thinking."

Chu Ran glanced at her with a cold gaze, "I can't figure out Lu Xiang's thoughts, but with Lu Xiang's profligate temperament, is it possible that he still wants to take concubines in the future?"

She purposely provoked Lu Shi, just to know what was going on in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi smiled faintly: "Your Highness's thoughts are simple, and it will be your birthday in [-] days, and it will also be the birthday of the prince. If you embroider a sachet, I will let you go back to the house."

"What's the embroidered sachet for?" Chu Ran was stunned, Lu Shi's mind was really weird, he had a thought for a while, thinking of ways to torment her.

Lu Shi didn't answer, turned around and left.

The next day, Xiu Niang came, and Chu Ran drove her out, but Xiu Niang just refused to leave, and she was so angry that her forehead hurt.

She has almost never been in contact with these things. She learned from her embroiderer for a few days and embroidered a pair of mandarin duck sachets. It is not too early, and there will be a day before Lu Xiang returns. She can pretend to be back at this time.

Chu Ran sent the finished product to Lu Shi, and said, "The sachet you want, can I go back to the princess mansion?"

"What are you embroidering? The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck?" Lu Shi smiled lightly. After thinking about it, he still had to coax her, so he pretended to be happy and boasted, "The duck looks quite similar."

Chu Ran: "..."

She directly snatched the sachet back, not wanting to talk to people with bad eyesight, so she left with the sachet and returned to the furnace to redo it.

The needlework of mandarin ducks is complicated, and Chu Ran is difficult to control. The embroiderer asked her to embroider some flowers and plants, and Chu Ran believed it. After three days of flowering, it was still eye-catching.

After learning the lesson from the previous time, Lu Shi did not comment, but said: "Your Highness enters the palace, it is better to please His Majesty first,
