My Princess Has Been Reborn

It wasn't the first time Lu Qipei met the saint, but it was the first time he was so confused after the interview.

In the evening, when I was on duty, I didn't see Qi Yang outside the Imperial Academy. She seemed to be caught up in something recently, and she hadn't shown up for several days.But before Lu Qipei could be disappointed, he bumped into Liu Chen and a few colleagues.

Lu Qipei didn't have a good impression of Liu Chen, because every time Qi Yang appeared, his eyes would always turn around her.This made Lu Qipei a little displeased, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he would not want someone to miss his sweetheart, so the friendship between the two parties is only superficial.I ran into her today and just said hello, so Lu Qipei planned to leave.

But Liu Chen stopped her and smiled softly: "Brother Lu, don't rush away. It's rare for everyone to work together today, and we met here again, how about going to Tao Ranju for a drink together?"

Lu Qipei was not interested, and she didn't drink very well, so she wanted to refuse.

In the end, before she could speak, Liu Chen stepped forward and grabbed her arm, still smiling and said, "Let's go, let's go together. Those who went with me today all entered the Imperial Academy this year. We are all colleagues, and we are all together." It’s better to be close.”

Lu Qipei was not used to being dragged like this, not to mention that it was Liu Chen, who she disliked, who was dragging her.At that moment, he frowned and struggled, then retracted his arm, and after a glance, he found that besides Liu Chen, Kong Jie, the number one scholar in this department, Wei Ting, who was second in the list, and a group of concubines who were admitted to the Imperial Academy The custards are all there.

It is not wrong to say that they are all colleagues who entered the Imperial Academy this year, and it is not uncommon to form cliques in the officialdom.But Lu Qipei knew better that these people were still on the same list, and only she was recommended by Hanlin.Therefore, the two sides can't really talk about closeness, it's just that the water of the well does not violate the water of the river.

The rash invitation always makes people feel that there is an ulterior motive, but Lu Qipei still refused: "Recently, there is something at home, so it is inconvenient to stay away for a long time. Brother Liu, forgive me, everyone, please forgive me, Lu has to go first." After finishing speaking, he said: "Everyone today The money for the drink can be charged to Lu Mou's account, and Lu Mou can't go with him, so I apologize."

This kind of tactful refusal is enough, since there is already something in the Taoist family, those who are interested will not force it anymore.Today, however, there was an offender among this group of people. Wei Ting was a little displeased with her being recommended to the Imperial Academy, and seeing that she seemed disgusted when she broke away from Liu Chen just now, he stepped forward and grabbed her again with an expression of displeasure. : "What does Lu Xiuzhuan mean by this? Although Wei's family is not rich, they can afford a few drinks."

He looked at it just to find fault, and Lu Qipei is no longer a persimmon now.She tugged back her sleeves, and her expression became cold: "Lu Mou has no other intentions, so I don't know what Master Wei is thinking when he pulls me?!"

A few people were still wearing official robes, and it was really unsightly to chatter outside the Imperial Academy.

Seeing this, Kong Jie hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Calm down, calm down, it's just a glass of wine, it's not a big deal whether you go or not."

Unexpectedly, Wei Ting didn't appreciate it, and immediately snorted coldly: "Why can't we go when there is something at home, some people simply get their way, look down on us, and don't want to be with us."

What he said was full of hostility, but Lu Qipei already understood why the other party didn't like him—in fact, Wei Ting in his previous life had never turned heads with her, and the two of them could even be called a gentleman's friend.But now he is justified in his resentment, who in the imperial examination high school is not the favored one of heaven?He worked so hard to get into the Imperial Academy, but in the end Lu Qipei took a shortcut and took advantage of everything!

Lu Qipei knew at a glance that he had the opportunity to enter the palace today, and Wei Ting was not the only one who was jealous.

The scene fell silent for a while, and Kong Jie, who was trying to smooth things over, frowned.He tugged on Wei Ting's sleeve to signal that enough is enough, but in the end he looked at Lu Qipei and advised, "Brother Wei was reckless for a while, please take care of Brother Lu. But the wine money is fine, if the affairs of Brother Lu's family are not in a hurry, How about going with us and having a drink is also a heartfelt thought."

After all, the two are on the same list, and they have long had friendship during the Chunwei period, and Kong Jie's bias is very obvious.But in the final analysis, everyone is a colleague, and Lu Qipei is obviously on the rise, it is much better to befriend her than to be hostile.

Lu Qipei looked at Wei Ting, then at Kong Jie, and finally glanced at Liu Chen who was watching from the sidelines. After thinking about it, he finally agreed.

Tao Ranju is the most famous restaurant in the capital, almost full of guests every day, but Liu Chen and the others have obviously already reserved a table, and the waiter greeted a group of people as soon as they entered the store.He led people all the way to the box without mentioning it, and even the wine and food were prepared in advance.

Wei Ting is short-tempered, with clear grievances and grievances.In his previous life, he was sincerely impressed by Lu Qipei's talent, so no matter whether she was recruited as a son-in-law or they were suppressed by her, he never complained.But now it is different, because the starting point is different, and they have never really competed. Young people are always dissatisfied with those who are younger than themselves.

Fortunately, Wei Ting is different from Liu Chen. Liu Chen greets everyone with a smile, but his thoughts are so deep that people can't take it lightly.Wei Ting, on the other hand, has a straightforward temperament, saying one thing and another, easily offending people but not lacking in appreciation.

Lu Qipei didn't have too many contacts with Wei Ting in his previous life, but he knew a thing or two about his temper, so all the way from the Imperial Academy, her original anger has dissipated most of it.Until Wei Ting took the jug and unceremoniously poured three glasses of wine in front of her: "Drink the wine, and the past will be erased."

Seeing this battle, Lu Qipei was stunned, she subconsciously raised her head and asked him: "What happened to you and me in the past?"

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Wei Ting's face, and he didn't answer Lu Qipei's words.After glaring at her fiercely, he drank the three glasses of wine in a fit of anger, then turned around and left with the flagon in hand.

Kong Jie immediately stood up, pulling Lu Qipei to sit down during the banquet as if to appease him, as if he forgot what he said before that he only had a drink.

Qi Yang didn't come today, so Lu Qipei is actually fine.She has gradually gotten used to all the affairs that she took over at the Lu family, at least she won't be bluffed by a pile of ledgers anymore.So she has time for a drink, but she doesn't want to drink with these people.

When the banquet started, Lu Qipei did not insist on leaving.She was sitting by the window, holding a wine cup in her hand, but she just held it, without even touching her lips.As for the chatting and laughing in the private room, it has nothing to do with her. She never participated in it, and only cast her gaze out of the window——Tao Ranju was built by the water. The sunset is just right.

Lu Qipei didn't intend to show his head, and because he had something on his mind today, he lost his mind while looking at the scenery outside the window.

I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly said during the meeting: "I heard that those barbarians in the north are overseeing the country, have you heard any rumors?"

Not only the people from the imperial examination high school were from poor families, but there were also a few people who were born in officials during the banquet. Immediately, someone said: "What's the matter? I heard it. It is said that the barbarian country also sent a letter of credence. It will be a while later." There will be envoys entering Beijing in the next day."

"This... shouldn't the envoy personally bring the letter of credence, so it looks solemn?" Someone asked in confusion.

Someone answered the words immediately, but the voice was lowered a lot: "I have heard some rumors about this. Didn't the late emperor have a precedent of sending the princess to Rongdi to get married? Thanks to General Ji guarding the border all these years, It’s not so ugly. But now that Rongdi has established a country, the momentum will inevitably become stronger. For the sake of good relations between the two countries, it may be necessary to mention the matter of marriage..."

The implication is that everyone understands.Because the princess wanted to get married, he sent the letter of credence in advance to let Liang Guo prepare the dowry!

No matter how true or false the rumors are, this attitude sounds arrogant enough.

A group of literati gathered together, and they were all young and full of vigor. When they heard this, they all became very angry.

There was only Liu Chen, who held his wine glass without saying a word, but looked straight at Lu Qipei who was opposite him—the young man was sitting by the window, looking sideways at the scenery outside the window, his jade-like face was shrouded in the setting sun, as if it had been plated on. There was a layer of golden-red brilliance, so beautiful that it was not like ordinary people.But these are not important, the important thing is that after listening to what everyone said, she shook the hand holding the wine cup lightly, spilling a little of the full wine cup.

The speculation in my heart was further confirmed, and this trip was worthwhile.Liu Chen withdrew his eyes in satisfaction, the corners of his lips curled up slightly when he raised his glass to drink, but there was a glint of darkness in his eyes.

After a while, the voices cursing the barbarians in the box gradually stopped.In the final analysis, it was just a rumor. I don't know if it's true or not. If everyone vented their emotions, it's over.Then the subject was changed, and the room soon became lively and cheerful again.

When Lu Qipei was remembered, it was after Wei Ting proposed the drinking order - an event where all the staff participated, even those who watched the scenery would not let it go.

Lu Qipei was pulled back to the wine table, and it happened that she didn't drink the glass of wine she promised before, so she was pulled closer to the drinking order team.When she raised her head at that time, she was looking at Wei Ting with such complacent eyes, and then looked at the person at the same table, the other party's plan was almost self-evident.

Isn't it the drinking order?Isn't it just a group of new scholars?When she was afraid of them!

Lu Qipei suddenly felt a little irritable, and he didn't want to make unnecessary entanglements, so he simply accepted the other party's provocation.

The ending can be imagined, the number one scholar who crushed everyone in his previous life will not lose his previous knowledge just because he didn't take the scientific examination.After a few laps of the wine order, Lu Qipei didn't drink a glass of wine, but everyone at the table who was already three points drunk was drunk by her seven points.

Wei Ting drank too much, but he was not convinced, he almost drank under the table and still shouted "come again".He looked at the person across from him drunkenly, gritted his teeth, with an attitude of not giving up until Lu Qipei got drunk.

You can't reason with a drunk, especially a persistent drunk.

After crushing everyone, Lu Qipei also felt bored, so he put water in the last round and drank the glass of wine he promised.

The wine prepared during the banquet was unexpectedly strong, Lu Qipei drank a cup and felt a fire burning from his throat to his stomach, it was warm but not uncomfortable.It's just that she drank less alcohol, didn't notice it for a while, and coughed for a while.

When the cough subsided and he laughed a few times, Lu Qipei was not annoyed, but felt that the wine was too strong, and one glass was already on his head.

But everyone drank a lot, so is she really that bad at drinking? !
