The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

The hot spring hall is as complicated as a brothel, and the way of attracting customers is quite special. Now Zhao Gu Ning has turned it into a place to collect information. Before, Heng Wang also went in and out. Even now, the Huo family loves to go in and play. The mess is so messy. Lu Shi refused to let go.

She took the paperwork and account book in Chu Ran's hand, "Have you handed it over?"

"Not yet, Prime Minister Lu lend me some hands?" Chu Ran looked at Lu Shi with water in his eyes, put his hands on her neck, and kissed her like a dragonfly.

Axiu pretended she hadn't seen it before, but Her Highness's beauty trick became more and more handy, and she quietly retreated out with her maids.

On the couch, Lu Shi was flipping through the paperwork, Chu Ran had already read it, and his eyes followed her, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's cheap for nothing, Your Highness doesn't want to be as smart as Zhao Gu Ning, why did you send you such a big pie?" Lu Shi reminded.

With Zhao Gu Ning's exquisite mind, he wouldn't suffer so willingly.

Chu Ran had never thought about these details, and she froze when she asked, "What purpose can she have?"

"Your Highness, wait for me to finish reading this." Lu Shi bowed his head, not looking at Chu Ran's tangled expression.The obedient person reached out to rub her shoulders to relieve her fatigue.

After kneading a cup of tea, my hands were sore, and Lu Shi still didn't speak, and finally rubbed his wrist in discouragement, "Lu Xiang, tell me what you think?"

"The Zhao family and the Huo family robbed the palace of the silk business, and you beat Huo Li again. Huo Qi dare not blame His Highness, but Huo Li knows well that the relationship with the Zhao family will not be easy to let go. For the Zhao family, if things go on like this, the hot springs are bound to fail, since you know your future, why force it, why not force it, why not give it to His Highness as a big gift, and His Highness will be grateful, killing two birds with one stone."

"I know, but what does it have to do with me? How can the Prime Minister be afraid of Huo Li?" Chu Ran was confident.

If Zhao Gu Ning was there, he must have ridiculed her for doing bad things under Lu Xiang's sign.

Lu Shi wouldn't mind these little things. After reading the documents, she returned the things to Chu Ran and said, "There is a jade shop under the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How about replacing this hot spring with Your Highness?"

"No change." Chu Ran refused without thinking about it. Lu Xiang was in a bad mood. There is no hot spring in Yushipu, so why give it to her.

She didn't like oil and salt, so Lu Shi raised his eyes, "Your Highness won't change?"

"No." Chu Ran insisted.

Lu Shi smiled lightly, his eyes filled with slyness, and stared at Chu Ran: "Your Highness, it's fine if you don't want to change it. The IOU you gave to the prince is still there, why don't I go ask for it tomorrow?"

"Shameless." Chu Ran muttered, knowing that she was thinking of some shameful tricks, she put the seal of the hot spring hall aside, unwilling to reconcile, and said: "Little man."

Lu Shi smiled, let her mutter, and repeated: "Your Highness took advantage of the hot springs for the money."

"If you don't want to agree, you can just ask the prince for money. Anyway, the prince is rich, and he knows how to squeeze me for no reason. I don't agree." Chu Ran said, and then ran to the bathroom to take a bath, and hurried to the couch to settle down. Lu Yi got close.

Lu Shi did what he said, and asked people to go to the East Palace with the IOU, but the crown prince refused to pay back the money, so he sent a message to Lu Shi: "There is no seal of the East Palace on the IOU, and there is no Gu Gu's autograph. Whoever signs it will return it."

Chu Ran was so angry that he wanted to go to the East Palace and beat him to death. He rolled up his cuffs and looked at the smiling Lu Shi: "Don't be proud, the prince doesn't recognize it, and I don't recognize it either."

"It's okay, the seal and title deed of the hot spring are in the hands of the minister, and His Highness personally gave it to the minister."

"When did I give it to you?" Chu Ran didn't realize it for a while, it was just for her to see that night, and she forgot to take it back, so she gave it to her.

Lu Shi said: "The minister has sent someone to hand over."

"Take advantage of the fire, that's not right, it's just robbing." Chu Ran didn't want her to move so fast, but within a day or two, the hot spring was already hers. This man has a thick skin.

She was annoyed and refused to talk to her, so she went back to the house depressed, locked the door before going to bed, and let Lu Shi knock on the door, and would not open it no matter what.

After being locked up like this for two nights, His Majesty summoned her.Lu Shi was not there, and he didn't send her a letter. He didn't know what happened, so he changed into a suit of clothes and hurried into the palace with the servant.

There was only His Majesty in Zhanghua Terrace. After Chu Ran entered, he knelt down to salute and never called out. Fortunately, the weather in April was warm, and he didn't feel cold even kneeling on the cold floor tiles.

For some reason, she knelt for half an hour and didn't cry out. She rubbed her knees and guessed that the reason His Majesty punished her was because she hit Huo Li?

The old man Huo Qi still has the face to mention this matter before His Majesty, since he mentioned it, why did Lu Xiang tell her?

While she was thinking wildly, the servant's voice sounded: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu is asking to see you."

After hearing Lu Shi's name suddenly, the tense nerves in Chu Ran's mind finally relaxed. She didn't dare to turn around to look, but when the figure passed by her, she pulled it with her hand, signaling her to hurry up. help yourself.

Lu Shi's footsteps slowed down after being gently pulled by her, and the corners of his lips curved into a slight arc, which was not easy to detect, and disappeared in an instant.

She went to the royal case as usual, and presented the memorial, saying: "The envoys of the Song Dynasty have a smooth journey and will arrive at the border of the Song Dynasty in a few days."

The Emperor of Chu didn't say a word, he took the memorial presented by his servant and looked down carefully.

Time is getting faster and faster in breathing, Chu Ran quietly raised her head to look at Lu Xiang's side face, separated from her eyes, only saw the back as straight as a pine, slender and elegant, her face and expression were almost invisible, she was in the cold palace Finding some comfort, he knelt down slightly and corrected his posture.

Every move she made was under Lu Shi's attention. Seeing that her expression was acceptable, she didn't look at her again, so as not to be noticed by His Majesty.

After seeing a cup of tea, Emperor Chu took a pen and wrote a few words, Fang said: "Yes, pass down the order to act according to the agreement on the letter of credence."

Lu Shi accepted the memorial as usual, and glanced at Chu Ran from the corner of his eye. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave her alone, so he said, "Your Majesty, did the princess annoy you again?"

"She didn't worry about herself, and went to beat people. Her temper became more and more wild, but she looked like a princess. Others only said that the family was uneducated. Emperor Chu spoke in a calm manner, with a slight annoyance in his words.

Chu Ran didn't want to refute, but seeing Lu Shi was also there, he borrowed some courage from her in his heart, and said loudly: "Huo Li is guilty of spreading rumors, I don't want to alarm daddy, and I can only worry about you. Solve it yourself, as a rule, he will go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for slandering the royal princess like this, and breaking his head is letting him go."

"What rumors did he spread?"

"Privately saying that I like a merchant woman is equivalent to separating my son from Lu Xiang. Shouldn't we fight?" Chu Ran argued hard, thinking that the matter was over, but His Majesty wanted to punish her.

"I don't know how to repent, but you have evidence. Huo Laodao was done by someone else and has nothing to do with Huo Li." Seeing that she didn't repent, Emperor Chu smashed her with a memorandum. Xiang Churan.

Lu Shi moved two steps lightly, and happened to be in the middle, the memorial fell on her shoulder, and fell in response, Chu Ran shrank his head behind him, and the person in front said politely, "Your Majesty, calm down, there must be no evidence. Your Highness doesn't dare to do it, why don't you call witnesses to listen, if His Highness is really wrong, let her make an apology to Young Master Huo, Huo Lao will not take advantage of others."

Chu Ran: "..." Where does she have any witnesses? Lu Xiang doesn't feel back pain while standing and talking!

Seeing Lu Xiang's confident and determined expression, Emperor Chu, who was on the throne, felt a little suspicious in his heart. He didn't want to make the matter big, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, it's not a good thing for everyone to know about this matter."

"If the princess is unreasonable in this matter, Mr. Huo is not fair. He will gossip every day. If the matter is not handled properly, others will be speechless. Right and wrong must be clear." Lu Shi's words were cold, and every sentence was Reason, people can not say anything against it.

She turned around and glanced at Chu Ran, beckoning her to speak, Chu Ran felt terrified by her look, and said with a stiff neck: "Yes, right and wrong always have results, and there are witnesses, daddy invited to see That's it."

She felt very guilty, but when she heard Lu Xiang's insistence, she could only believe her, but where did the witness come from?When she was suspicious, His Majesty said: "Let your witnesses come to see me quickly, so you don't have to worry about getting married."

When Chu Ran was suspicious, and didn't know who to look for, or how to solve the situation, Lu Xiang came up and reached out to help her up, said a few words in a low voice, and then went out of the palace as if no one was there.

She just left?

Chu Ran opened his mouth to call for someone, but His Majesty was behind him. He really didn't dare to be presumptuous. He rubbed his knees and asked the servants to go out of the palace to bring people in. He didn't know if those people would listen or not.

The servant invited people very quickly, and all the people were invited after an hour. Lu Shi had already left the palace and picked himself up. In order not to let Chu Ran touch his hands, Emperor Chu directly drove her to the side hall.

While she was waiting in the hall, Ling Yi was overworked carrying the food box, her clothes were much cleaner than before, and Su Jin also added a bit of cleanliness to her body.

The visitor was not kind, Chu Ran kept his face, and took the fruit wine from her hand, "Are you here to find Dad?"

"Daddy doesn't have time to see me, so I just come to see sister." Ling Yi

She smiled brightly, and her temperament was much more stable than before. She didn't know what she had experienced in the Song Dynasty, and the childishness in her eyebrows and eyes disappeared, leaving behind a faint feminine style.

Chu Ran also believed her words, "Father has something to do."

"I just listened to a few words outside, the girl from the Zhao family must be pretty, otherwise how could she be tempted by my sister." Ling Yi poured out the wine and drank it himself. The taste of the jasmine infused wine was still the same as before.

Chu Ran glanced at her, lay on the small couch by himself, and said casually: "I don't care much about Miss Zhao. If Lingyi wants to plead for his cousin, he will go to the main hall. It's useless to come to me, don't delay time."

"Sister, I'm joking. Why should I make a cliché? It's true. I wonder if my sister is really interested in the girl from the Zhao family. Don't let Lu Xiangcai down." Ling Yi's voice was louder than Chu Ran's. Much lighter, with a strong smile, still showing a bit of innocence.

"You go out, I'm tired, go out and find a place to drink." Chu Ran pointed to the door of the palace to signal her to leave, and then let the palace guards drive away the guests.

Ling Yi's face turned red, she didn't want Sister to turn her face so quickly, so she had to follow the palace man and leave, turning around every three steps, her mood as usual.

Half an hour later, the palace servants sent a decree to let Chu Ran leave. At the same time, the invited children of the aristocratic families also left the palace. Everyone looked panic-stricken. When they left the palace gate, they got into their own mansion and left in a carriage. say.

No one knew about the conversation with His Majesty in the hall, not to mention His Majesty's order to summon the Huo family. Chu Ran was suspicious, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze.

Lu Shi waited in the mansion for a long time, holding a volume of books in his hands, and smiled lightly when he saw the maid helping him in, and said softly, "Your Highness's leg hurts?"

"Knee hurts." Chu Ran glared at the calm and calm person in front of him angrily. After brushing away the maid's hand, he walked over and looked down at her: "Lu Xiang watched the excitement today, do you think it looks good?"

"It looks better than on the stage." Lu Shi said frankly.

"After watching, tell me how the play started?" Chu Ran asked curiously, and limped to Lu Shi's side, and asked someone to fetch some hot water. His knee hurt so badly that it hurt even to move a step.

Lu Shi withdrew his smile, and his eyes fell on her knees: "Huo Qi thinks that no one knows that this matter was done by Huo Li. Sorry, you don't have evidence to go before your Majesty to complain. I just went to find Huo Li in advance. It's just the children of the family and a few merchants who are traveling with you, arrange people in advance, if Huo Qi swallows this breath, nothing will happen, and if you provoke this matter, you will have to bear the consequences."

The maid called for hot water, Chu Ran took off her shoes and socks, and her knees were bruised and purple. She was so painful that she didn't dare to touch it. She felt relieved when she heard that she had left her hands behind. She felt pain everywhere, and suggested: " Shall we go to the hot spring for a dip?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Shi looked at her coldly: "Your Highness hasn't knelt enough yet?"

Chu Ran shrank her head, "If you had reminded me earlier, how could there be such a catastrophe today?"

Lu Shi didn't answer, but walked over to rub her knees.Chu Ran refused, "Don't touch me, it hurts."

"If it hurts, remember to go to the hot spring. It doesn't hurt too much. I knew that I would pass by later today." Lu Shi's brows were calm, and his words were slightly ironic.

Chu Ran was angry and helpless, she couldn't compare to her exquisite mind, how could he know that old man Huo Qi would wait patiently, and make another move when she let down her vigilance.

She was angry and hurt, and looked at Lu Shi helplessly: "Lu Xiang, I'm so angry, give me a bite."

Hearing her unscrupulous words, the servant girl was so frightened that she was at a loss, holding the hot handkerchief in her hand and froze for the moment.Axiu who was at the side was used to it, and pulled her out of the room. When His Highness was being unruly, he didn't like others to stand by.

Lu Shi pretended he didn't hear that sentence, and put the veil on the wound and rubbed it lightly, frowning in pain.

"Lu Xiang guesses again how His Majesty will deal with Huo Li?"

"I don't know."

Chu Ran frowned and lay on the couch, her knees hurt so much that she didn't want to move. While hugging the quilt, she took advantage of the opportunity to pull Lu Shi to lie down, then bit her jaw, and let her go with satisfaction after hearing the unstoppable cries of pain.

"I can't play with Lu Xiang, so I have to take advantage of it." Chu Ran comforted himself, thinking of the peach tree under the window, he felt somewhat relieved.

The next day, after taking a bath, Lu Shi was idle at home, and his staff rushed over to report.

Chu Ran has been getting up late these days, and when she was confused, there was someone sitting on the edge of the couch, and she habitually moved into the couch.Lu Shi glanced at her and said, "It's time to get up."

"Why don't you go to the morning court?" Chu Ran shrank under the quilt.

Lu Shi was helpless: "Take a rest today." She stretched out her hand to pull him up, but Chu Ran didn't want to, so she closed her eyes and said, "No, no more."

She was so sleepy that she didn't want to talk to this person, and she hugged the quilt and didn't want to let go. When she was lost, she heard a voice: "Your Majesty announced Huo Li into the palace, and his legs were disabled."

"Beat so hard?" Chu Ran woke up instantly.

"Your Majesty is ruthless, and saving his life is a kindness." Lu Shi said lightly.

Your Majesty can control his parents and children with poison, how can the Huo family be lenient.

"No, there must be something I don't know about. What did you do?" Chu Ran is not stupid, as these things are not enough to make His Majesty ruthless, Lu Shi must have something to hide from her.

Lu Shi looked calm, and raised his hand to straighten her messy skirt, slipped his fingertips inadvertently across her collarbone, and said seriously: "Your Highness, remember not to go to the hot spring, and I will do the rest as long as you want. Do your best to help you."

"So gentle, there must be something abnormal." Chu Ran couldn't be fooled, brushed her hand away and lay back on the couch, thinking about the whole story to himself, what Lu Shi didn't want to say, no matter how much he asked , it is better to save some effort.

Lu Shi smiled lightly, and stopped bothering her. He asked someone to bring in the official documents, and dealt with them first, and he would get up when he couldn't lie down.

The news of Princess Xinping's punishment spread to the East Palace, and the crown prince sent someone to deliver the ointment, along with a plate of milk-flavored snacks.

Chu Ran asked someone to bring the ointment back to the East Palace. He still didn't lack the concern of the prince, so he only accepted the snack and ate a piece by himself. Seeing Lu Shi sitting for a long time, he walked over step by step and fed the snack to her: "Do you want to eat? "
