Little Flower Fairy Chasing Her Husband

Chapter 47

The envoys of Wusun Kingdom brought tributes to the palace to show the prestige of the country, so the emperor held a big banquet in the imperial garden that night.

The Queen Mother, Concubine Xijia and Princess Gulun were all invited, but there was only one prince among the princes.

The other princes and emperors didn't care, and they didn't rush to get up.Even Lu Sheng, who was always jumping happily, stayed in his bedroom obediently, without saying a word.

Everyone knows that the prince's sense of presence is too low recently, and if he is not given the opportunity to show up, I am afraid that the officials will play again and say some stupid things like "people in the government and the opposition are panicked".

It was early in the day, and Gu Lun was talking with the Queen Mother in Yongning Palace. Taking advantage of the fact that the dinner party was still a while away, Yuan Qing, who had entered the palace with Gu Lun, came out for a walk. Unexpectedly, he ran into this God of Plague again. .

"I will ask your emperor directly at the dinner later, asking him to agree to let you marry me."

Rong Qiang was standing on the top step of the small pavilion with his hands behind his back and his hands behind his back. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that he was tall and full of alien aura.

Yuan Qing was so angry that she couldn't speak, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, you, you, you, you didn't say anything for a long time.

Tao Zhi, like Yuan Qing, has been living in a boudoir all year round, and has never seen such a battle.But the protector's heart overwhelmed her fear of the man, she blocked Yuan Qing behind her, and stared at the man who spoke out loudly, "Who gave you the courage to offend the princess here, don't go away, believe it or not, wait until I call Guard, whoever cares which country you belong to is the prince, you are good-looking!"

Rong Qiang didn't respond, just staring at Yuan Qing.

After a long while, Yuan Qing pulled Taozhi back, and followed her back, saying: "I said earlier, Yuan Qing has a marriage contract, and there are countless virtuous women in the capital, please choose another good concubine."

"When, who?"

"What does it have to do with you?!"

Rong Qiang didn't speak, Yuan Qing waited for a while, feeling really timid in his heart, and didn't want to make any more entanglements, he bypassed him and was about to get out of the small pavilion, but Rong Qiang grabbed his forearm.

Yuan Qing felt a burst of pain from being held, and couldn't help but let out a low cry.Seeing this, Taozhi opened her mouth in a hurry to call for someone, but the foreign prince quickly let go, and said sorry to Yuanqing in a low voice, then turned and left.

"Princess, are you alright?" Taozhi was about to cry when she saw it.

"It's okay, let's... let's go back."

After talking in a daze, Yuan Qing didn't move.She looked down at the thing that Rong Qiang forced into her hand just now - a machete, less than six inches long, but fell heavily.

The handle of the knife held by Yuan Qing was cold, only the tentacles in the palm of the hand felt warm. It was an oval-shaped warm jade inlaid in the middle of the silver knife handle engraved with complicated patterns.Several odd-shaped symbols are engraved on the warm jade, surrounded by dozens of dark red gemstones of the same size and luster.

The scabbard is made of leather, and it looks soft and shiny in the light of Ever Night, silently telling its age.

"The county master..."

"Let's go." Yuan Qing put the scimitar into his sleeve, hurried to Yongning Palace, and said to Taozhi: "Don't tell others a word about what happened just now."

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere was in full swing.During the banquet, the prince got up with a wine glass and said a few words. The emperor was in a good mood and was about to open his mouth to offer something, but Rong Qiang made a request first.

The emperor raised the wine glass in mid-air and stopped, neither drank nor put it down. Just now because Rong Qiang wanted to talk, the music and dancing stopped, and the air was a little stagnant for a while.

The emperor didn't look at Gu Lun and Yuan Qing behind Gu Lun, thought for a moment, and said, "Yuan Qing...is not engaged yet."

Rong Qiang immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Rong Qiang has a sincere heart, as if the Princess Yuanqing is a concubine, he will love her and protect her for the rest of his life, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will see clearly.

Rong Qiang's Chinese is considered fluent, but there are still some strange accents, and the out-of-time nasal sound is clumsy. The foreign race who has always been willing to bend down to salute is now willing to kneel, even if it is only on one knee, it is completely sincere.

The emperor squinted and smiled, as if he was happy for Yuan Qing.

Gu Lun couldn't sit still, but she still had manners in her heart, knowing that it was not her turn to intervene in this matter, it was up to the emperor how to deal with it.

At this moment, Prince Gong, who was sitting in the back seat, said with a smile, "Old minister, seeing that the eldest prince of Wusun Kingdom is not young, he never thought that His Highness has not yet married a concubine."

He looked a little drunk, and the insertion of this sentence was not abrupt, but it enlivened the atmosphere at the right time.

An old man who followed Rong Qiang looked at the senior man standing up, nodded with Prince Gong as a salute, and replied: "From all over the Wusun Kingdom, regardless of the royal family or the common people, marriage is based on true feelings, not rigid age."

Prince Gong stroked his beard and laughed a few times, agreeing: "So, His Royal Highness is still a lover, good, good."

After saying this, Prince Gong then asked about the folk customs of Wusun Kingdom. He seemed very interested and had a good attitude.

"The emperor personally allowed them not to stay in the palace. After the dinner, he opened the gate of the palace and went back to the post house. Our people followed suit." Yan Yu'an bent over, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

While speaking, Zi Rong had already finished her medicinal diet, and was chewing a candied date in her mouth, but she still wrinkled her face bitterly.

Lu Zhi took the veil, lowered his head to wipe off the medicine juice from the corner of his mouth, and pressed his lips with his fingers as comfort, then turned to Yan Yu'an and asked, "Is aunt out of the palace?"

Yan Yu'an said: "Return to Your Highness, no. Princess Gu Lun rested in Yongning Palace with Princess Yuan Qing."

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "I see, let's go down."

Yan Yu'an hesitated to speak, and finally retreated silently.

After he left, Zirong knelt up from Lu Zhi's arms, put his arms around his neck and said, "Your Highness, is Yuan Qing going to marry far away?"

Lu Zhi said: "It's possible."

"Hmm..." Zi Rong rolled her eyes and thought for a while: "Then can I come back later?"

Lu Zhi still said, "It's possible."

No one ever forbade princesses who married out and got married not to return to Beijing, but in the past few dynasties, there were quite a few princesses who got married, but after they got married, they came back to save their relatives—none of them.

Zi Rong stopped talking, and was surrounded by Lu Zhi's arms, sitting quietly on Lu Zhi's lap.

The emperor didn't want Lu Zhi to marry Yuan Qing at first, and he didn't know that Lu Zhi didn't plan to marry Yuan Qing. Now that there was such a place to go, the marriage was probably inseparable.

In fact, this situation is the best for the current land quality.If he doesn't marry, the next three princes are all older than him.They have more support from the eldest princess and the Liu family, and it will be uncertain who will be stronger at that time.

If Yuan Qing marries and gets married, he doesn't need to worry about this power that he doesn't accept running into other families.

But people's hearts are fleshy, and in good conscience, Gu Lun has treated him well in the past few years.Wusun Kingdom is far away in the sky. When people in the capital mentioned it, it was similar to the concept of Penglai Fairyland. After Yuan Qing left, Gu Lun should have lost his daughter from now on.

Lu Zhi originally planned that Xiao Li is doing a good job in the House of Internal Affairs now, let his grandfather help Xiao Li's clan secretly, and he should be able to be promoted to another rank by the end of the year.At that time, he will find a vacancy in Dali Temple and fill in Xiao Li's son as an official rank.

Slowly after two years, it will not be difficult for the Xiao family to get up, and it will be a good thing to ration Yuan Qing to Xiao Li's eldest son.

It's just that he is not given so much time now, and Yuan Qing's stay or stay is not up to him to decide.

"Why can't it be counted?" Gu Lun's eyes were a little red, but he was used to being strong, and he refused to show his weakness at this time.She slapped the table so loudly that the girl serving in the room trembled.

Lu Zhi was picked up from the bed early in the morning by Gu Lun's post. As soon as she left the palace, she came to Prince Yu's mansion. Qing has already said something of interest to both sides.

Gu Lun thought about it all night, although the private life of men and women will damage Yuan Qing's reputation, but now he can only keep Yuan Qing with this kind of rhetoric.

She weighed her words carefully, thinking about how to say how to save some face for Yuan Qing, but she didn't expect that the person who quit in the end was Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stood there, didn't even sit down, his face was full of earnestness and shared worries, but the words he said did not show any affection: "Auntie, Lu Zhi has never treated Sister Yuan Qing any more than her cousin, whether it was in the past or now. Extra thoughts, you..."

"Enough!" Gu Lunmei opened her eyes angrily, opened her mouth slightly, and her face was full of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe it: "Not all the time, all the time..."

Lu Zhi raised his eyes to meet her, and said firmly, "I have always regarded her as my younger sister, and I have nothing else to think about."

Gu Lun paused for a while, then suddenly slumped back into the chair, his back was no longer straight, and his whole body was slumped.

Although she had heard it before, how King Yu doted on a young son in the house, but she didn't want to think about it, and she didn't believe that Lu Zhi would never marry again because of a person in the house.

Marrying a regular wife is the only time for most men to double their power, and it is impossible for Lu Zhi to give up.

She still didn't believe it up to now, and asked, clutching the handkerchief: "But which family is more noble? Tell me, I don't blame you."

Lu Zhi said: "No, Lu Zhi dare not be so heartless."

Gu Lun was angry again in an instant: "You still tell me your conscience?! Lu Zhi, Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness King Yu! It's not like you haven't seen what's going on now. Half a day later, your aunt's flesh and blood will be killed alive. Gouged out from the heart, you are absolutely unwilling to undo what you can do with just a word, and you still tell me your conscience? In the past, your mother and concubine left early, how did I treat you and..."

Speaking of the mother and concubine, Lu Zhi's expression became indifferent, and the surface of worry was gone.

He took Gu Lun's words and said: "Lu Zhi can't do anything, please calm down, auntie."

Ever since he was able to follow the emperor to sacrifice to heaven at the age of 16, Gu Lun was really good to him... good to him, and even good to Lu Lin and Lu Xuan.It's just that Empress Wen went there when Lu Zhi was less than one year old. During the 15 years in between, she rarely thought of the fact that the three of them had an aunt.

It was just a necessary gamble before the change of power, and maybe there was a bit of warmth in it, but Lu Zhi always knew that the indifference and care he received was only because he survived.Because he is the first son, and he is not disabled like Lu Lin.

It's just because he will be more legitimate than other princes in the future.

The freedom to bet is in the hands of others, but it is up to Lu Zhi to decide whether to pay it back or not.

Lu Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Auntie asked Yuan Qing if she meant it? I heard that although Wusun Kingdom has a small territory, it has been in good weather in recent years, and it is rich in gems and good horses. Most likely the queen...perhaps she wills herself?"

Hearing this, Gu Lun's complexion was even worse.

What Lu Zhi said was right, to be a concubine, to be a queen, to stay in the imperial city and marry him can be done, why did her daughter run so far away?

But speaking of this, there is no need for Gu Lun to stay.Lu Zhi straightened his clothes, walked to sit down opposite Gu Lun, took a sip of a cup of tea, and put it down firmly.

The main hall was silent all the time, and when Gu Lun slapped the table, all the maidservants in the room withdrew, leaving only Lu Zhi and Gu Lun.

After a long time, Gu Lun said, "You don't regret it?"

Yuan Qing is gone, even if it is for Lu Zhi's persistence today, the support of the eldest princess will no longer be biased towards him.And the imperial power dispute is long, without this support, it will become more difficult.

Lu Zhi looked at her with a smile and said, "I don't regret it."
