I was a prince in ancient times

Lu Chengjie looked up at Xie Anlan slightly.

I don't know if he really doesn't understand or if he doesn't understand.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Xie Anlan stopped, looked at him, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty has already decided to form an alliance with Snow Country, and the princess is here to marry." Lu Chengjie sighed slightly.

Xie Anlan, "Let's make a connection, it has nothing to do with me."

After finishing speaking, Xie Anlan paused and frowned slightly, "It's not that Brother Huang is so confused that he wants to give the princess to me."

Lu Chengjie shook his head, "That's not true, but I heard that the King of Xue Kingdom asked His Highness to be his son-in-law by name. His Majesty didn't say yes, but he didn't refuse either."

Xie Anlan frowned, and said unceremoniously, "Is the monarch of the Xue Kingdom insane? It's better not to find the emperor's brother for marriage. It's better to wait for the princess to give birth to Lin'er in the future than to marry me, an idle prince." Be strong."

Lu Chengjie lowered his eyes and said softly, "Maybe they think His Highness has more potential than His Majesty."

After all, they got married because of the cotton, and the cotton came from Xie Anlan. If the princess married him, would he give Xue Guo some advice based on the relationship between husband and wife?

Thinking of this, Lu Chengjie pursed his lips, and he was only a man, so he couldn't give birth to His Highness, but he just took the title of a princess, and in the future, the Chen Palace will still be inherited by someone.

However, he did not say these words out loud.

When Xie Anlan was getting better and better day by day, Lu Chengjia had already thought of such a day.

he……

He just wanted to be more greedy for the tenderness Xie Anlan gave him, so he didn't think about this question subconsciously.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

"Potential?" Xie Anlan pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, "If they have such an idea, then Brother Huang will definitely not agree."

No matter how stupid Xie Cangming was, he would never let him help other countries.

Regardless of the current alliance between the two countries, they seem close on the surface, but they have their own plans in private.

Xie Cangming would not push him away.

"Don't worry." Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao watched, and raised their hands to gently stroke Lu Chengjiao's hair, "Emperor Brother, he doesn't agree or refuse, he just wants to give Xue Guo a vague attitude, he won't agree. "

"En." Perhaps Xie Anlan's tone was too firm and his gaze was too gentle, so Lu Chengjia finally nodded slowly.

The two of them were talking, and when they reached the main hall, some servants had already served the meal. Xie Anlan sat down beside him, and suddenly asked, "Then what happened to the Grassland Department? They can't be here to marry, right?"

"I don't know, I didn't mention marriage, but it looks like it to me." Lu Chengjie said while laying out vegetables with him.

Xie Anlan paused and asked, "Have you met anyone?"

Lu Chengjie hummed, with surprise in his eyes, "When they entered the imperial capital today, there was a huge battle. I took a look from a distance and found that the princess of the Grassland Department is extremely beautiful."

Just seeing a back from a distance, there is a kind of beauty that makes people sink. One can imagine how beautiful she must be when she takes off her veil.

No matter how you look at it, such a beautiful princess should not be released as a proton.

Xie Anlan's eyes darkened, "Isn't the people in the Grassland Department all begging for a living on horseback in the wind and sun? How could it be possible to raise such a juicy person? You must have misread it."

Xie Anlan's sour tone made Lu Chengjia pause, and it took him a long time to realize that he was jealous because he praised other women.

A smile could not help showing on his lips. He had lost his appetite, but because of this sentence, he ate half a bowl more.

In the evening, Xie Anlan still had some things to deal with, so she went to the study first.

Lu Chengjie was alone in the dormitory, holding a pillow made of cotton wool in his arms, half of his body nestled on the bed, flipping through the pages of the palace.

Xie Anlan said that if you hand over the Chenwang Mansion to him, you will really hand it over to him. Now Xie Anlan only handles business affairs and doesn't care about the accounts.

All the accounts are in the hands of Lu Chengjiao, even if Xie Anlan wants to spend money, he has to take the account from him.

As the assets of the Prince Chen's Mansion increased, the money on the books also increased month by month. With such a huge amount of money in his hands, Lu Chengjie was thinking about how to spend it reasonably.

"Let's renovate the Chenwang Mansion, and buy more antique calligraphy and paintings to display." Lu Chengjiao thought about ways to spend money in his mind, but finally couldn't think of it, so he had to look at the Chenwang Mansion again.

Lu Chuyi waited under the bed, his eyes were a little vain, and now the Chenwang Mansion, which has been decorated with splendor by his young master, said a little weakly, "Young master, it will be more splendid than the imperial palace if you pretend it."

"Really?" Lu Chengjiao raised his eyes and looked around, without realizing it.

But seeing Qiutang and Chuyi nodding their heads vigorously, he had to ponder whether the downfall of Prince Chen's mansion had left a deep impression on him, so he always had a little money, so he couldn't stop thinking about it.

"How else can I spend the money?" He has always tried to make money, but now it is a bit embarrassing for him to spend it.

I always feel that he is spending more and more money.

Chuyi and Qiutang looked at each other, they both shook their heads, the current Chenwang Mansion has completely bid farewell to the shabby.

The courtyard is deep, the artificial rocks of Huangshan Mountain, the waterside pavilions near the lake, the green trees and Qionghua, make people feel extravagant and extravagant at a glance.

There are more than 300 servants who take care of these things every day, let alone others.

They have thought of all the ways to spend money that they can think of, but they really can't think of it.

When Xie Anlan came back from the study to deal with matters, he couldn't help laughing when he heard them discussing the matter of spending money in a serious manner.

"Spending money is not easy, I will take you out to spend tomorrow." Xie Anlan leaned against the door and smiled, his eyes were a little tired. He had dealt with all the chores that should be dealt with tonight, and he could just give himself a rest tomorrow. Fake.

"Okay." Lu Chengjia knew that he was an expert in spending money, so he couldn't make a mistake at this time, so he nodded readily in agreement.

A good night's sleep.

On the second day, the two got up early, but not to spend money, but to respect the Queen Mother's will to enter the palace.

The empress dowager of the Yong dynasty is just a display, after all, none of the seven heirs came out of her stomach, and her natal family is not prominent, let alone the emperor and queen, even Xie Anlan and other princes, she can't do anything about it .

Her summoning today was not her own wish, but for the Queen's generation.

No, the princesses from the Grassland Department and the Snow Country came to the Yong Dynasty, so it should be said that a banquet is indispensable.

Today Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao are wearing bright yellow clothes of the same color. The hairpins on their heads and the jade pendants on their waists are both of the same style.

The banquet held this time was in the Zhaixing Pavilion, which was not as prosperous as the Qionghua Pavilion last time, but it was still spacious.

It's because not only a few princes, but even court ministers and their family members will be present today, if you don't find a spacious attic, it won't fit.

Xie Anlan took Lu Chengjie to find his own seat and sat down without saying hello to others.

He didn't go to say hello to other people, but other people really wanted to say hello to him.

As soon as the husband and wife came in, the eyes of many people present lit up.

Not attracted by their bright clothes of the same color, nor by their similar appearance.

But purely want to curry favor with Chen Wang.

Nowadays, there are not many rich people in the Yong Dynasty, and Xie Anlan, the Prince of Chen, revived the defeated Palace of the Prince of Chen in just one year by himself.

Not only the cement that makes money, but also an enviable iron mine.

There are many of them who want to share a piece of the pie, but the Chen Palace doesn't accept them at all.

I want to find a chance to get close to Xie Anlan. Xie Anlan basically doesn't leave the house, and he goes to work when he goes out of the house, so he can't meet him.

Now that they have finally met, they don't want to miss this opportunity again.

So as soon as Xie Anlan got off here, someone came to them.

"His Royal Highness, don't come here safe." Standing in front of the two of them and saluting, was Xie Anlan's old acquaintance.

Wang Meng, Minister of the Household Department, who was dug up by him at the beginning.

With a short stature, he smiled honestly, as if Xie Anlan had never dug his plum tree.

"Wang Shangshu, your plum blossoms are doing well this year." Xie Anlan picked up the wine bottle and looked at him with a smile.

Wang Shangshu narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Okay, that's okay. In two months, plum blossoms will be in full bloom again. If His Royal Highness Chen Wang likes it, I will send you some later."

When someone came to give a gift, Xie Anlan never refused, and said with a smile, "That's a good feeling."

"Then it's settled." Hearing Xie Anlan's answer, Wang Meng looked happy, as if it was a special honor to give his beloved plum blossom to Xie Anlan.

Xie Anlan, "Succeed, the king will wait for Wang Shangshu to drive."

The joy on Wang Meng's face can't fool anyone, his success gave others hope.

He felt that the Prince Chen was not a difficult person to talk to, so they came over one after another trying to get acquainted in front of Xie Anlan.

It's a pity that Xie Anlan turned his face ruthlessly this time.

No matter how these people greeted him, he lowered his head and peeled the orange in his hand, without even raising his eyelids.

After peeling the oranges, he fed them into the mouth of his male princess one by one, and asked in a doting tone, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet." Lu Chengjie tasted sweet, but when he looked at the embarrassed courtiers in front of him, he felt sour for them.

A few people flung their sleeves away, Lu Chengjiao looked at Xie Anlan amusedly, "Why doesn't Your Highness give these adults face."

"Two of them are from the Ministry of Rites, and those who said I shouldn't set off fireworks." Xie Anlan ate the remaining oranges, and took another one.

Lu Chengjiao paused, twitched the corners of his lips, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't know His Highness held grudges so much."

"Of course, I'm small-minded." Xie Anlan admitted directly, "So small that I can only pretend to be you alone, so I hold grudges against everyone except you."

Lu Chengjiao, who was still holding back his belly laugh, was immediately turned red by Xie Anlan's words.

Obviously the two of them are already familiar with each other, but his heart will still beat violently when the other party inadvertently confides.

"What about you?" Xie Anlan leaned into Lu Chengjiao's ear after speaking, and asked, "How big is your heart?"

"As big as your Highness is, Cheng Jie has a big heart." Lu Chengjia snatched the orange from Xie Anlan's hand and peeled it for him.

After peeling it off, put it in Xie Anlan's hands again.

Xie Anlan didn't agree, she raised her head, "Hey me."

Lu Chengjie looked around at many people who were looking at them, with a somewhat unnatural expression, and discussed, "Can you... go home and hello."

"No."

Xie Anlan's tone was unbearable, Lu Chengjie sighed softly, put the orange on his lips, and fed it to Xie Anlan's lips little by little.

"Bah-"

Their move directly shocked many courtiers around, and many officials were so shocked that they dropped their chopsticks.

Xie Guanchao, who was seated next to him, looked normal when he saw this scene, and he had seen all the shameless things about Xie Anlan.

It's not just feeding an orange, it can't make any waves here.

Xie Anlan ate the orange contentedly, her eyes slanted slightly, she looked at a corner who had been sizing him up for a long time, and slightly bent her lips.

At that moment, in the corner, Ning Dong, the maid of Snow Country Princess, was standing behind her, clutching the hem of her clothes, with a nervous expression, "Is the princess alright? Have you seen Prince Chen?"

It was hard for them to bribe a court lady to know where Prince Chen was sitting. At this moment, the princess had already wasted a lot of time.

Looking at it further, I am afraid it will attract attention.

Princess Heqin is so shameless that she secretly visits her future husband-in-law, and it is not known how to arrange it when it spreads.

"Look... I saw it." Under the urging of the maid, Xue Ling, the princess of the Snow Country, reluctantly poked her head back, her creamy skin was still flushed, and her tone of voice faltered.

"What does Prince Chen look like?" Ning Dong was a little curious.

"It's pretty good, that's..." When Xue Ling saw Xie Anlan's appearance, she was quite satisfied. The golden appearance and jade-like appearance exuded a sense of nobility in every move.

Just recalling the scene she saw, Xue Ling couldn't help but lower her head and frowned, secretly bit her bright red lips, and slowly uttered a few words without thinking, "No...not very good."

good looking.

It's just not good.

These two sentences made Ningdong completely confused, so whether this is good-looking or not.

Or good-looking but not in good shape?

However, no one has heard that Prince Chen is in poor health.

"Let's go, go back and change the dance clothes." Ning Dong was still thinking, Xue Ling had recovered and calmed down.

After only two steps, she thought of the princess from the Grassland Department that she happened to meet yesterday when she entered the imperial capital, she pursed her lips and frowned again.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Ningdong asked worriedly when she saw their princess stopped and frowned, thinking that the princess' old illness had relapsed.

"I'm fine." Xue Ling smiled softly, "I just think of the younger sister who entered the palace with me yesterday, and I feel sorry for her."

"Love her?" Ning Dong was puzzled.

Xue Ling said sadly, "Both of us are hard-working people. They seem to be princesses, but in fact, one was used by my father to marry me, and the other was sent by my father as a proton."

"Princess……"

Hearing what she said, Ningdong's heart ached. Her princess had suffered from heart disease since she was a child, and now she was sent by the monarch to marry her. I really don't know what the monarch thinks.

"It's nothing." Xue Ling smiled faintly, "It's my blessing to share my father's worries."

"It's just..." Xue Ling frowned slightly as she said, looking as if I still felt sorry for him.

"Just what?" Ning Dong hurriedly asked.

Xueling gave a faint wry smile, "It's just that Prince Chen already has a concubine, and she's a male concubine with a beautiful appearance, and the princess and sister of the Grassland Department are also beautiful. If I can't amaze the Prince Chen today, I'm afraid my father will die." Hard to do."

Ning Dong also frowned.

Indeed, the princess of their family is actually not bad in appearance, but compared with the princess from the Grassland Department who caught a glimpse yesterday, she is too far behind.

I heard that tonight, the princess of the Grassland Department will also perform. If she is allowed to perform first, her own princess will definitely be compared. If she cannot win the favor of the king...

Ningdong looked at her own princess worriedly, frowning tightly, wondering what she was thinking.

"Princess, let's go back. I'll inquire later to see what art is presented by the princess from the Grassland Department." Ning Dong thought for a while, but finally said nothing, and helped Xue Ling back to their dormitory.

At this time, in the bedroom of the princess of the Grassland Department not far away, the servants are intensively inspecting the musical instruments used to perform tonight.

Everything was normal, and the inspectors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before they could relax, they found that the huqin that their princess was going to perform tonight was broken.

"Princess……"

Qian Cao, the personal maid of the Princess of the Prairie Department, came to her with the huqin with broken strings, her expression a little anxious.

Meng Heyou, the princess of the Grassland Department, was looking at herself with an exquisite bronze mirror unique to the Bingyong Dynasty. Even the slightly blurred bronze mirror could not cover her overpowering facial features.

Every frown and smile is touching.

Not to mention the extremely beautiful figure, matched with their unique costumes of the Grassland Department, faintly revealing a section of snow-white waist and abdomen, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

"What's the matter, so flustered."

Meng Heyou unhurriedly removed the bronze mirror, glanced at the maid, and then set his eyes on her beloved huqin.

"Broken?" Meng He stared quietly, unable to see how flustered he was.

"Princess...what can I do?" Qian Cao was a little anxious. Her princess was the best at playing the huqin, and her first-hand qin skills were amazing. Now that the strings of the qin were broken, it would take a lot of time just to change the strings and tune them again. Obviously it was too late.

"What are you panicking about?" Meng He lowered his eyelashes like butterfly wings lightly, without any panic on his face.

"Go and find out how the string is broken first, and then change the performance of the piano into a dance." Meng Heyou gave a solution after a short pause.

Qian Cao agreed with a pale face, "It seems that this can be done."

Her princess's piano skills are superb, and her dancing skills are not inferior. It's just that her dancing skills are not as amazing as her piano skills, but the princess's beauty should be enough to shock these Yongchao people.

This is the string, how did it break?

Qian Cao couldn't figure it out, she was about to go down and check carefully, but before she backed down, she was stopped by Meng Heyou, "Wait a minute."

"Does the princess have any orders?" Qian Cao paused.

"The Princess of the Snow Country is here to get married, do you know who she is marrying with?" They just entered the imperial capital in a hurry yesterday, and they are the hostages of the enemy country. They just passed by the Princess of the Snow Country, and they were arranged here by the Queen of the Yong Dynasty. In the dormitory, there is no news.

But since Princess Xueguo came to marry, she should be arranged to go to Emperor Yongchao's harem, how could she not be far from her bedroom.

Qian Cao smiled and replied, "When my servants passed by their bedroom yesterday, I heard that they asked the maids to inquire about a prince named Chen Wang. If the servants are not mistaken, the one they want to marry should be the Chen Wang."

"Chen Wang, why is it him again?" Meng Heyou finally showed a trace of restlessness on his usually calm face when he heard the word Chen Wang.

Qian Cao was taken aback, "The princess knows this Prince Chen."

More than know.

Meng Heyou gritted her teeth secretly, and she kept in mind what her elder brother said to him before leaving, she wished to tear this man called Chen Wang into pieces.

But she had to hold back, she was just a proton now, and she couldn't act rashly.

"I don't know, I just heard something from my father Khan and a few brothers, and I'm just curious." Meng Heyou concealed himself very well, and took the bronze mirror again, as if nothing had happened, and looked at the mirror. For himself, he secretly wrote down the name of King Chen in his heart.

After all the tossing, the sky had gradually dimmed, and the banquet outside was almost over.

The two princesses from other countries were finally summoned to the Zhaixing Pavilion.

"Princess Xueling of the Snow Country presents dance music, wishing Yongchao and the Snow Country will be good neighbors forever, and the friendship will last forever." A servant spies sang congratulations loudly, and the originally noisy banquet suddenly fell silent.

They didn't forget that they came to this banquet to give Xue Country a face.

There is a clear sound of playing music, which is a bit different from Yongchao's playing music. The sound of Snow Country has a natural flavor, giving people a feeling of meditation.

The prelude music was played for almost a stick of incense, and the woman in white feathers entered the pavilion from the corridor.

The lotus steps are graceful, and there is a kind of rhythmic beauty in each step. Stepping on the music point, everyone at the banquet put down their wine glasses and was attracted by this woman's dancing posture.

Many of them showed admiration.

Xie Anlan took a second look and then looked away. He didn't forget that the last time his princess didn't eat for half a month because he admired the dancer's dancing posture at the family banquet.

Xie Anlan didn't intend to read it, but that Xueling seemed to be entangled with him, and stopped in front of him.

Facing him, she danced lightly, as if there were hooks in her eyes, every look was ecstasy, but it was a pity that her appearance was not good.

Always gives people a feeling of poverty.

Xie Anlan suddenly felt bored, hugged Lu Chengjiao, brushed the blue hair behind him, and was fascinated by his handsome silhouette.

The princess of the snow country in front of them was performing a dance to them, and everyone's eyes followed her, and Xie Anlan stared at him so fiercely, Lu Chengjie gently pushed him to make him pay attention.

"What are you afraid of? I have done the bolder ones just now. Now let me see what's wrong with you. You are prettier than her."

Xie Anlan didn't deliberately lower her voice when she said this, the Snow Country Princess who was dancing in front of her was stunned when she heard it, she stepped on two wrong steps, but she had to grit her teeth and continue dancing.

Standing in the corner of the corridor, Meng Heyou saw Xueling dancing in front of a pair of men, and knew that one of them must be the Prince Chen, so he narrowed his eyes slowly, and after only a moment, he returned to his original charming look. A soulful and charming beauty.

After Xue Ling finished the song, she bid farewell to Xie Cangming and the others and then turned pale.

Then Meng Heyou came up.

When all the courtiers heard the words Grassland Department, their complexions all changed, with a look of disdain on their faces.

Between the two countries, in the war of more than 20 years, the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty died countless times, and they had already forged a deep blood feud, so how could they look good.

Of course, Meng Heyou could feel that the whole Yong Dynasty did not welcome her.

But all of them have reached the Yong Dynasty, and there is no way out, even if there is a sea of ​​swords and flames ahead, she must go up.

Putting on a veil and listening to the unique drum music of the Grassland Department, Meng Heyou took a deep breath, nudged his snow-white feet, and walked into the sight of everyone in Yongchao with soft dance steps.

The courtiers didn't take this princess seriously at all, and they didn't even give her a look. They gathered together and talked on their own, without looking at her dancing posture.

Even though this princess was indeed a much better dancer than the one in front of her, even when they had a rough glance at each other, there was a look of amazement in their eyes.

But this can't wash away their hatred of the grassland department.

After the dance, the veil on Meng Heyou's face fell with the last music, and everyone thought that it was over, and they raised their heads one after another, just in time to see her shedding the veil.

Immediately froze.

Her face was already charming, but after dancing, the flush on her cheeks added to her charm even more.

The red lips are slightly parted, the eyes are rippling with charm, and every breath pulls the heartstrings.

She blinked, as if she hadn't noticed the change of the people at the banquet, she saluted Xie Cangming, who was at the top, and was about to leave.

Lu Chengjie watched her leave barefoot, the veil that fell on their table frowned, and called to her, "Princess, please slow down."

"Huh?" Meng He returned to his senses, and when he saw Lu Chengke's face, he paused.

"Princess, your veil has fallen off." Lu Chengjie bowed and picked up the veil on the ground, and handed it back to her.

Fu paused again on her clean white feet, and reluctantly took out two handkerchiefs from his bosom for wiping filth, covered her feet, and said in a slightly stiff tone,

"The ground is cold in the depths of winter, please take care of your health, princess."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat with a somewhat indifferent expression.

Holding the veil picked up by Lu Chengke, Meng Heyou felt the soft silk scarf on his instep, with a slightly dull expression, and finally walked down with her maid.

After dancing early, Princess Xue Guo who was sitting in the lower seat saw this scene, she clenched the corners of her clothes, her brows furrowed, her eyes were dark.

Not only her, Xie Anlan's eyes darkened at the moment, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she took Lu Chengjiao's hand with a gloomy expression, and carefully wiped him clean one by one with a handkerchief.

He asked in a low voice, "Why did you pick up the veil for her?"

Lu Chengjie pursed his lips, "Her veil fell off our table, dirty."

Xie Anlan was stunned, "Then why did you cover her feet?"

"Dirty eyes." Lu Chengjia raised his eyes, and after seeing Xie Anlan's expression clearly, he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood, "I use a veil that has been wiped on gold."

Xie Anlan was very angry at first, but was amused by his explanation.

The two were chatting and laughing, the princess of the Snow Country and the princess of the Grassland Department would look at them from time to time, and then quickly moved away, thinking about each other.

At the end of the banquet, Lu Chengjiao deliberately took a step behind Xie Anlan, and told Lu Chuyi, "Go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, and ask my aunt to send my cousin back to the imperial capital."
