The next day was the day when Lou Yueguo and his party left Beijing and returned. Although Lou Yueguo didn't stay in Changfu Beijing for a few days, Xie Qian didn't even show his face during this period.

He has not yet entered the court at this time, this is nothing at all, the loss is due to the matter of Princess Lou Yue, this matter is related to him, if he does not show up in the end, it would be too disrespectful. It is really inconsistent with etiquette.

Therefore, Xie Qian took leave of absence with the school secretary, and went to see him off with the current prince Chu Yuanzhao.

"His Royal Highness, how are you doing these days?"

Chu Yuanzhao was not a few years older than Xie Qian, and he married a beautiful woman as a concubine a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanzhao shook his head again and again: "Hey, non-stop around the clock, he is actually busier than when he was studying in Yincui Hall when he was young."

The Yincui Pavilion is set up in the palace, and it is exclusively for the children of the royal family to study; unlike the Kunlu Academy, even if you are in white, as long as you have the ability to get in, the Kunlu Academy will accept it.

Xie Miao went to the Yincui Museum for two years when he was young, and when he came back, he complained that the Yincui Museum broke the rules, and he would not go there even if he was beaten to death. There was no way, so I found another place.

However, Chu Lingyue had been studying in the Institute until the age of 14, until the next year when he entered the university, he suddenly transferred to the Kunlu School, and became classmates with Xie Qian; Xie Qian didn't know him for a long time at that time , I was happy to hear this news for a long time, but I forgot to ask him why he changed schools suddenly, and whether he was unhappy in Yincui Hall.

The prince here is still trying to persuade him: "When I was studying, I always felt that there was nothing more difficult than this. I hoped to succeed in my studies all day long. Now it seems that it is better to study. You must cherish it. After this village, there will be no such shop.”

Xie Qian smiled: "Haha, I know, I will never let His Highness the Crown Prince waste his words in vain."

"Your Highness is not His Highness, just call me in private like before." Chu Yuanzhao asked again, "By the way, how is your sister recently?"

"It's okay, I feel comfortable every day." Xie Qian's guard was raised instantly, and he stopped talking after saying a word, and just shouted, "Brother Yuan Zhao, Liu Ting is just outside the north gate."

"it is good."

When they arrived here, they were supposed to bid farewell to Lou Yueguo. The crown prince got off his horse and exchanged a few words with Lord Louyue. At the end, the two turned their heads to look at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian: "?"

After passing by, I realized that it was Asuruo who wanted to say a few words to him. Xie Qian was not so particular, so he went directly to the window of the carriage where Asuruo was: "Princess is well, I am Xie Qian."

As soon as his words fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Asuruo's beautiful and delicate face.

"You are Xie Zhouxi?" Asuruo looked at Xie Qian for a few seconds, and smiled slyly, "Why do I think you are prettier than me?"

"His Royal Highness is joking." Xie Qian had a good impression of her, but he and Asuruo had never spoken privately in the previous life, "But according to Your Highness, you have never seen me before?"

"Yeah, I was always worried that you were a big man with beard and beard." Asuruo said without concealment, "You want to ask me why I still court you when I don't know you?"

Xie Qian shook his head with a smile. This was nothing more than for the exchange between the two countries. It was either a commercial road in the north or something else. It was nothing unusual, so he said, "I just want to ask, does your Highness think it's worth it? To spend the rest of my life with someone I've never met and who I don't know."

Asuruo joked subconsciously: "What's not worth it, you're so pretty; my mind stopped at first, but now I want to beg you again."

But after she finished speaking, Xie Qian didn't answer, just looked at her with a quiet smile, and Asuruo also suppressed her smile when she saw this.

After a while, she just said: "If I can change the stability of the people with my own strength, it seems that it is not worth it."

Louyue Kingdom's winter is bitterly cold and the soil is not fertile, and the people's livelihood is very difficult. If it is a disaster year, they will have no power to resist the disaster. However, if they can fully open up trade with the northern border of Great Chu, the life of the people will be much easier.

But this matter is altruistic to Dachu, but not necessarily selfish. Lou Yue's people are aggressive, and their morals are generally average. At that time, friction will be necessary, and the northern border is the northern defense line of Da Chu. After passing the thirteen cities in the northern border, they will It can go directly to Changfujing, but who can guarantee that there will be no heretics in Lou Yueguo coveting Dachu.

But these Xie Qian will not bring it to the public. He smiled and just said: "Princess, in my humble opinion, the country is a country. There are high-ranking people who work hard to rule it, and those who work for the people are not afraid of failure. The clouds are open; but there is no reason to only tie the fate of the country to an illusory marriage."

"Of course, I'm just talking nonsense. Anyone can do things like standing up and talking without back pain. I don't mean to point fingers." Xie Qian said, "However, the princess of Lou Yue State, Zebei, is Lou Yuezi. The blessing of the people."

Asuruo was silent for a long time, and then smiled: "You are so confiding with me, it seems that I was too selfish at the beginning, and almost trapped your Chiling Mansion in an unjust place."

Xie Qian understood what she was talking about. If Asura asked him to marry him in the palace, but directly passed the prince of the current emperor, the meaning behind it was almost to say that relying on his Chiling Mansion for the affairs of the northern border could rest easy. The border is the northern border of Da Chu, not the northern border of his Xie family, so if the marriage is successful, it will be nothing.

Xie Qian didn't expect that she could say it so frankly, and after a moment of stunned, he replied: "The princess is too worried, don't worry about it."

At this point, someone came to remind me that it was almost time to set off.

Asuruo agreed, turned around and gave Xie Qian a hearty smile, and said sincerely: "I think I understand, thank you so much, son."

"May the princess have a safe journey."

"Haha, Xie Zhouxi, it's good to know you this time, no wonder everyone in Dachu likes you, and I like you very much!" Asuruo blinked at him, "Louyue is very beautiful, I believe I will make it better in the future." Beautiful, I hope you will visit Louyue in the future, and then I will welcome you as a guest!"

Xie Qian waved at her: "Then I will thank the princess first."

After speaking, Asuruo put down the curtain of the car, ready to leave.

Xie Qian stood there for a while, and was about to turn around to leave, but Asuruo yelled loudly behind him. Xie Qian looked back and found that Asuruo's body was half out of the carriage, and said loudly to him: "By the way, Xie Zhouxi, I forgot to tell you that your fiancé, Chu Yanshu, is too fierce! Are you being rude to others! When you come to Louyue in the future, I will introduce you to a better one!"

Then without waiting for an answer, he retreated into the carriage.

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, thinking about Chu Lingyue's expressionless face, if it wasn't for his good looks, it would be really annoying, so he couldn't help but laughed.

"Is it so funny?" A cold voice suddenly came from beside him.

Xie Qian was startled, and when he looked back, he found that Chu Lingyue was standing a few steps behind him, and he didn't know when he appeared.

"when did you come?"

Chu Ling looked coldly at Asuruo's carriage not far away for a while with narrowed eyes, and then answered in a vague way, "When you called you brother Yuanzhao."

Xie Qian didn't hear anything, and was only surprised: "You came so early? What are you doing here? Aren't you going to class?"

Chu Lingyue: "..."

Chu Lingyue didn't answer and asked instead: "Why have you chatted with her for so long?"

Still talking so happily.

Xie Qian subconsciously opened his mouth to answer, but the words stopped when he reached his mouth. He was surprised that he didn't need to tell him anything, so he just replied: "I didn't talk about anything."

Fortunately, Chu Lingyue didn't realize that something was wrong, so he didn't ask the bottom line. After thinking about it, he pretended to ask casually: "Am I really fierce?"

Xie Qian turned his head to look at him, with a face like you didn't know anything: "What do you think? You see Xu Ji is afraid of you to death."

Chu Lingyue didn't care about others at all, he just asked: "...then will you be afraid of me?"

Xie Qian suddenly remembered the look in Chu Lingyue's eyes in the dream, then he shook his head and smiled, and said perfunctorily, "No."

Chu Lingyue nodded in satisfaction, and said that it seems that he is not fierce.

Then he remembered Asuruo's last words, and subconsciously wanted to ask Xie Qian that if he wanted to go to Louyue in the future, he must take him with him, and he was not allowed to go alone.

But thinking about it, he remembered what Xie Qian said to him the day before yesterday that he didn't like threats, and he felt that it seemed impossible to ask him in such a tone.

So it was changed to a vague reminder in time: "I have never seen the scenery of Louyue before. If you want to go in the future, can you call me?"

In short, we must not give Asuruo a chance!

But Xie Qian didn't answer whether he could, but said: "I probably won't go for the time being."

"Yeah." It's better not to go.

The two of them walked back while talking, and Chu Ling couldn't stop looking at Xie Qian's waist on the way, as if to see if he was wearing anything, but there was nothing but the thin waistline.

Chu Lingyue wanted to ask him again, but he was worried and asked Xie Qian what to do if he was angry, and they had already arrived in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he swallowed the words back.

Seeing the two of them, Chu Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Yan Shu, you said you were coming, and I called you to come when you came out."

It was really difficult for Chu Lingyue to chat with others, and he said 'um' and then he didn't speak, but Chu Yuanzhao knew his temper, so he didn't say much.

"Then let's go back." Chu Yuanzhao asked, "I'm going back to the East Palace, how about you?"

Xie Qian said, "I'm going back to the school."

Chu Lingyue also said, "Student."

Chu Yuanzhao nodded, turned around and got on the carriage. Xie Qian wanted to follow the horse, but he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but found another group of people and horses coming not far from Liuting. One of the carriages was covered with gold thread embroidered curtains and jasper. It looks quite extravagant, very ostentatious.

Xie Qian asked casually, "Who's there?"

Chu Ling looked over and saw that the carriage frowned, clicked his tongue lightly and said, "It's so ugly."

Xie Qian: "..."

Soon an attendant who knew about the affairs of Beijing came to report: "My lord, in the spring of February next year, candidates from all over the country will enter Beijing."

"But isn't it still the twelfth lunar month?"

"Some candidates have rich family backgrounds, so they will come here before the end of the year, so that they can experience the New Year's scene in Kyoto." The attendant glanced at it from a distance, "It looks like the convoy of the dealer in Yanshan City over there, please approve it a few days ago. Pass the document to enter Beijing."

Yanshan dealer.

Hearing the words, Xie Qian stood there for a while thoughtfully, and when the convoy approached, he saw that the carriage inlaid with gold and jade was followed by an ordinary and simple carriage.

At this time, there was a wind and smoke, and a small corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing the hem of the plain white clothes of the people in the car, but before you could see more, a hand with strong bones protruded from inside the car. The curtain was pushed down.

When Chu Lingyue heard about the dealer, he couldn't help but look sideways, as if he remembered something, but he took the lead to look away after a while, and said to Xie Qian, "Let's go."

Xie Qian nodded, and didn't look any further. After getting on his horse, he followed Chu Yuanzhao's carriage and left.

On the way, he couldn't help thinking, where is Xie Miao playing at this time?Have you stayed in the Shangfu Bureau peacefully?

Shangfu Bureau... Chu Yuanzhao...

By!Thinking of this, Xie Qian suddenly remembered something.

In the previous life, Chu Yuanzhao's concubine had a miscarriage in the first month, but because the miscarriage was so strange, Chu Yuanzhao ordered a thorough investigation, and finally found out that someone had embedded the crown and concubine's hairpin and clothing. Luo Zixiang, and those clothes and jewelry are all from the Bureau of Shangfu.

But then the case did not progress for a while. The Jingzhao Mansion did not find out who the mastermind was behind the investigation for a long time. In a rage, Chu Yuanzhao, regardless of whether it was the New Year or not, sent the group of female officials and palace servants who were dealing with it at that time. Either imprisoned or beheaded, but Xie Miao was not implicated because of his special status.

There are too many such backstabbing and hurting people in Changfujing, and Xie Qian doesn't listen to one hundred or eighty of them a year, and it's been a long time, so he didn't think of it for a while!

But fortunately, Luo Zixiang was a chronic drug back then, and the crown princess had been infected for more than a month, and now this batch of clothes will be distributed only two days ago, so there should be still time for this.

But at this moment, a person came in front of him at full speed, and before the horse stopped, he rolled down: "Report! Prince!"

Xie Qian's heart jumped when he heard the words, and the next moment he heard Chu Yuanzhao lift the curtain of the car: "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness! The Crown Princess has a miscarriage suddenly, I hope the Crown Prince will return to the East Palace as soon as possible!"
