Yinghui Pavilion, inside the hall.
Ji Qingzhou took an ice cube wrapped in a cloth towel in his hand, and gently pasted it on the bridge of Li Zhan's nose, applying ice for him.
Li Zhan's nosebleed finally stopped, but his complexion was very ugly, with some awkwardness and embarrassment.Qin Zheng gathered around, with an expression of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, obviously still immersed in the misunderstanding just now.
Qin Zheng has always been like this, no matter what the truth of the matter is, he will watch the excitement first before talking about it.
Li Zhan caught a glimpse of his expression and knew that he was thinking about something messy, so he gave him a look to signal him not to talk nonsense.Qin Zheng chuckled, and looked back and forth between Li Zhan and Ji Qingzhou, thinking about something that could not pass the trial.
"Don't you really need to call the imperial doctor to see it?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"No need." Li Zhan frowned and looked at Ji Qingzhou.
Just now, Ji Qingzhou took advantage of the waiter's time to find Bing, and went to change into a thin shirt, which is not as "disheveled" as before.However, he didn't have time to change his shirt in a hurry, and the material of this thin shirt was thin, and the blood stains on the shirt inside could be vaguely seen through the fabric at the cuffs.
The bright red bloodstains were looming, like red plums embroidered on the cuffs.
Li Zhan stared at Ji Qingzhou's cuff for a moment, thinking that the blood stained there was his own, his heart suddenly moved, and his blood almost surged again.
"I'll do it myself." Li Zhan took the cloth towel wrapped in ice in Ji Qingzhou's hand, and brushed his fingers inadvertently over the cool skin of the young man's fingertips, which immediately made his eyes darker.
Ji Qingzhou only thought that he was not feeling well, and asked again: "Why don't we pass on a doctor..."
"My lord said no need." Due to guilty conscience, Li Zhan's voice was a little blunt when he spoke, but he soon realized that his attitude was too cold and harsh, so he quickly slowed down his tone and said: "It's too hot, don't worry .”
When Ji Qingzhou heard the words, he didn't insist anymore, but just stood by and watched Li Zhan's situation at any time.
"Don't worry!" Qin Zheng at the side comforted Ji Qingzhou: "My lord is getting angry, and I'm so suffocated..."
Before he finished speaking, he received a slap from Li Zhan, and immediately stopped talking, but his expression was still smiling, as if he really liked seeing Li Zhan like this.After all, the lord is used to proper manners on weekdays, and he is so decent in everything, it is rare for him to be in such a mess, Qin Zheng naturally feels very fresh.
Li Zhan, who does not eat fireworks in the world, finally has a moment to move his heart.
Qin Zheng only felt very gloating, and only hoped that Li Zhan's mortal heart would be more ruthless...
"What did you come in in such a hurry just now?" Li Zhan was probably afraid of Qin Zheng's nonsense, so he changed the topic on his own initiative.
"Hi..." Qin Zheng thought of it instantly when he mentioned it, and complained: "I have suffered a lot of grievances today, and it's not all because of the envoy of Liang Guo!"
Qin Zheng usually has a sense of propriety in front of Li Zhan, if he hadn't been annoyed today, he wouldn't have barged in without even knocking on the door.
"My lord asked me to accompany the people from the Ministry of Rites to receive the mission. I thought it was the little prince of Liang who came. I thought that he was also my defeated opponent, so I just need to beat him up!" Qin Zheng said with a bitter expression on his face. Qiu Shen said: "Who knew it was their princess who came this time!"
Liang Guo is in the northern border of Da Yu, and has been on good terms with Da Yu over the years, sending missions to Da Yu every year.However, most of the envoys they sent in previous years were courtiers, but this year they sent the princess over for some reason.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Ji Qingzhou couldn't help asking.
"Princess..." Qin Zheng said, "You are from the Liang Kingdom that you have never seen before, right? They are in the northern border. Both men and women ride horses and shoot arrows since they were young. They all grew up eating beef and mutton. They are no more educated than us Dayu people." ... are very unrestrained!"
Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, secretly thinking that Liang Guo's culture is different, and it is reasonable to get along suddenly not harmoniously.Just like in modern society, people who have just left home to live across regions are often troubled by the cultural differences between the North and the South, but as long as they get along for a long time, they will be fine after getting used to it.
"Liang people are unrestrained and unrestrained. Isn't that what you want?" Li Zhan asked.
Qin Zheng's temperament is also relatively casual, and he is not a person who is willing to be restrained.
Li Zhan vaguely remembered that when the little prince of Liang Kingdom came to Dayu a few years ago, he got very close to Qin Zheng.It was also for this reason that he arranged for Qin Zheng to entertain the Liang Guo Mission.
"It's okay for the men to be together... But their princess, every girl doesn't know how to avoid suspicion, and she speaks freely... You say that I am a big man, and I dare not speak in front of her. If you don’t know when you go out, you think I’m being rude to her!” Qin Zheng said with a broken face.
Li Zhan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, as if he had no interest.
Ji Qingzhou was very curious and asked, "What did Princess Liang tell you?"
Qin Zheng smiled wryly, and said: "I met her for the first time today, and she told me that she came to our Dayu this time to find a husband to take back. She heard that the man in our Dayu is handsome, no They are as burly as the Liang people, so they are coming to Dayu to choose a son-in-law! You say that a girl likes handsome men with open mouth and mouth, how is this proper?"
When Ji Qingzhou heard the words, she understood that the princess of Liang Guo probably liked men who were more elegant, and didn't like those who were too burly, but they Liang Guo people practiced martial arts and galloping horses since childhood, and all of them are majestic and majestic men with horses.But Dayu is different. Many men have been studying since childhood, and their bookish looks look refined.
That's why Princess Liang came to Dayu to find her son-in-law.
Coupled with Liang Guomin's free and unrestrained style, she naturally did not hold back, and spoke out to Qin Zheng.
"We have a lot of handsome men in Dayu. If the princess wants to choose a son-in-law to take back, it's not difficult to think about it." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Why isn't it difficult?" Qin Zheng said, "You don't know how high-sighted she is. I, Qin, have one of the best looks in the court, so I asked her what kind of handsome man she was looking for... ...She actually said that it is fine if she looks better than me!"
Qin Zheng has always been quite confident in his appearance, but he immediately became furious when he suffered such grievances.
When Ji Qingzhou heard that the reason why Qin Zheng was unhappy was that Princess Liang didn't recognize his appearance, he immediately thought it was very funny.
"I'd like to see who in our Da Yu Dynasty can rank above me in appearance!" Qin Zheng said with a face of dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou subconsciously glanced at Li Zhan, secretly thinking that the prince's appearance is higher than yours.
At the same time, Li Zhan also subconsciously looked at Ji Qingzhou, and the two of them saw each other immediately without speaking.
That night, Li Zhan ordered someone to hold a palace banquet in the palace to show his welcome to the missions of the two countries.
During the dinner, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help being startled when he saw the princess of Liang Guo, and found that the people of Liang Guo really deserved their reputation, and a princess was actually taller than him.But the princess of Liang Guo has good-looking facial features. Although she is tall, she is very slender and well-proportioned. She looks very beautiful and does not make people feel awkward at all.
It's just... the princess is so tall, but she likes handsome men with elegance.
Ji Qingzhou imagined the scene, a gentle and handsome man nestled in the arms of the princess...it was quite interesting.
After the banquet, Li Zhan exchanged pleasantries with Liang Guo's envoy first.
The Liang Guo mission brought a lot of gifts this time, most of them didn't look particularly expensive, but they were very thoughtful.Among those gifts, what impressed Ji Qingzhou the most was a pair of spikes presented by Princess Liang.The spike looks ordinary, but it is said that the princess hunted it herself when she was 12 years old.
According to the customs of the Liang Kingdom, spikes are a token of affection.Young people will keep the first pair of spikes they hunt and give them to their sweethearts, promising that they will protect them for the rest of their lives.
"This wolf tooth is temporarily dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Regent." Princess Liang saluted the little emperor and Li Zhan, and said, "After I find a good relationship in Dayu, please Your Majesty and Your Highness can save the wolf tooth." Return the tooth, let me give it to my future son-in-law as a token of love."
The members of the Liang Guo mission didn't respond to the words, and some even smiled, but the faces of the people in Dayu were very strange.It was the first time they had seen such a scene, and for a while they tried their best to hide their surprise, trying to keep themselves polite.
Ji Qingzhou felt very appreciative, and secretly thought that if there was no restriction of identity, he should be able to become friends with the other party.
"Oh?" Li Zhan smiled lightly and asked, "Then what does your majesty and this king keep for the princess's fangs?"
Princess Liang bowed respectfully to Li Zhan and said, "At that time, I will exchange something else for Your Majesty and Your Highness. That is the gift I want to present to Your Majesty and Your Highness."
Ji Qingzhou immediately understood what Princess Liang meant, and if Li Zhan fulfilled her marriage, she would be very grateful.As for what the thank you gift is, she didn't say it for the time being, but Ji Qingzhou was very curious. He really hoped that Princess Liang would get his wish, and then he would know what the thank you gift was.
"Then I wish the princess gets what she wants." Li Zhan raised his glass to her from a distance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Regent." Princess Liang raised her wine glass to gesture to Li Zhan, and drank it down.
The palace banquet that day was very smooth. Although the cultures of Liang Guo and Dayu were far apart, both parties had goodwill towards each other, and there were no calculations or temptations, so the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.Princess Liang also told everyone a lot of interesting things about her hunting, which made everyone amazed.
In the end, the princess proposed to visit the palace tomorrow, and Li Zhan naturally would not refuse.
So Qin Zheng reluctantly accepted the task of accompanying the princess to visit the Dayu Palace tomorrow!
"This princess is an interesting person." After the banquet was over, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Interesting, you can go for a walk with her tomorrow, anyway, I am not a handsome man in the eyes of others, and I am also an eyesore." Qin Zheng said with a look of lovelessness.
Ji Qingzhou really wanted to go, but he glanced at Li Zhan's expression, and immediately dismissed the idea.
That night, Ji Qingzhou came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, but saw a man sitting on the stone steps in the yard.
He stepped forward to take a look, and was surprised when he saw that it was Qin Zheng.
"Why isn't Mr. Qin asleep?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
Qin Zheng held a wine bag in his hand, and when he saw Ji Qingzhou approaching, he moved aside and motioned him to sit down.
"Are you worried?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"What can I worry about?" Qin Zheng smiled wryly.
Sitting next to him, Ji Qingzhou felt that Qin Zheng was not in the same state as usual after drinking.
After a while, Qin Zheng suddenly said: "Many years ago, Liang Guo sent their little prince to visit Dayu, and I was younger than you that year..."
"The prince of Liang who always lost to you in the fight?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"It's not old loser..." Qin Zheng's face was a little unnatural, and he said instead: "His name is Qi Jingchuan, and the princess of Liang State you met today is named Qi Jingheng. They are twins of the same mother."
Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and asked, "What does Qi Jingchuan look like?"
"It's quite similar to his sister. It's been many years, and I can't remember it." Qin Zheng said.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ji Qingzhou's face, and then he looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "Liang Guo originally said that he would send Qi Jingchuan to the capital. If he came, you must have a lot to say when you meet again..."
"There is no talk, but the fight is definitely going to be fought." Qin Zheng took another sip of wine after speaking.
"He always loses to you, what's the point of fighting?" Ji Qingzhou laughed and said, "Shouldn't it be evenly matched, and fighting is fun?"
A strange look flashed across Qin Zheng's face when he heard the words, and he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he asked instead, "Your lord didn't have any more nosebleeds tonight, did you? Did you go in and keep watch?"
"My lord never needs someone to watch the night when he goes to bed." Ji Qingzhou said.
"You don't need others to watch the night, but it doesn't mean you don't need to watch the night." Qin Zheng said: "Look at how the prince has been suppressed. If it goes on like this... maybe something will happen to him."
Ji Qingzhou frowned and said: "How could it be so exaggerated, didn't the prince come here like this before? I think he is very healthy."
"Can it be the same?" Qin Zheng said: "There are people who dangle in front of my eyes all day long, and no one can stand up to it!"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Start again, start again!
"Speaking seriously, you didn't intend to help the prince find a way?" Qin Zheng asked.
"What solution can I think of?" Ji Qingzhou said helplessly: "He is an adult, and if he has a problem, he will definitely find a way to solve it. I... can't help."
When Ji Qingzhou said this, he suddenly remembered what happened in Jiaofang Division that day.
Strictly speaking, it's not that he can't help...
"If you really don't want to, then you can arrange someone to serve the prince." When Qin Zheng said this, he stared at Ji Qingzhou meaningfully, as if he wanted to see his reaction.
Ji Qingzhou immediately objected when he heard the words: "Are you crazy? The prince has always kept himself clean, who would dare to move such a mind? Besides... I don't want to do such a thing..."
Although he knows that sending someone to the couch of a superior is a very common operation in this era, Ji Qingzhou is unwilling to do so, even if he has such rights and opportunities.
Ji Qingzhou feels that this kind of thing is unfair to both parties.
Li Zhan will not be willing to accept it, and the person who is arranged may not be willing...
"You don't want to arrange someone for the prince, does that mean you..." Qin Zheng asked.
"Stop!" Ji Qingzhou said angrily, "That's the end of this topic!"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and was very satisfied with Ji Qingzhou's reaction.
He even felt...his good brother shouldn't have to hold back for too long...
At noon the next day, Qin Zheng packed up and planned to go to the post house to pick up Princess Liang.
Unexpectedly, the other party came earlier than him, and was directly led into Yinghui Pavilion.
Because she got Li Zhan's consent last night, no one stopped her from coming to Yinghui Pavilion.
Ji Qingzhou had just finished discussing with Li Zhan and the people from the household department. As soon as he came out of the front hall, he saw Princess Liang standing in the courtyard. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him quickly.
"His Royal Highness." Ji Qingzhou saluted her.
"I asked them your name, Qingzhou." Princess Liang Chaoji Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's a nice name, as beautiful as yours."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Qin Zheng: ...
Li Zhan: ...
"My lord!" Princess Liang looked behind Ji Qingzhou, and saw Li Zhan's complicated complexion, looking at her with a bit of inquiry.
Only then did Ji Qingzhou realize that Li Zhan was behind him, so he turned sideways to make way for him.Li Zhan didn't go forward, but stood behind Ji Qingzhou, and responded lightly to Princess Liang as a greeting.
"My lord, can you let Qingzhou accompany me these few days?" Princess Liang asked.
Before Li Zhan could answer, Qin Zheng said, "Your Highness, Qin will accompany you to visit our imperial palace in Dayu today..."
"Is it possible?" Princess Liang still looked at Li Zhan with anticipation.
Qin Zheng was ignored by her, and his expression was very annoyed. Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou was afraid that he would lose face, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over and said: "My lord, the discussion is over today, and there are no other arrangements around. Why don't I accompany the princess and Mr. Qin together?" Shall we take a walk in the palace?"
He deliberately put Qin Zheng's name in his words, which was to make up for him a little bit of face.
Li Zhan didn't say anything more when he heard the words, and he responded lightly as he agreed.
"Qingzhou, have you ever been married?" Princess Liang asked Ji Qingzhou as soon as everyone left Yinghui Pavilion.
"Back to the princess, never." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Then do you have someone you like?" Princess Liang asked.
Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and reminded: "Your Highness, I am a servant, and a servant will not be emotional."
"Ah? Why?" Princess Liang asked rather puzzled.
Only then did Ji Qingzhou realize that Liang's national style is more unrestrained, and the palace may not have a servant like Dayu, so Princess Liang didn't know what the servant meant, and thought he was just an ordinary servant.
"Because..." Ji Qingzhou thought for a while, and said with discretion: "In Dayu, servants can't get married, and they can't have children."
Princess Liang nodded, her expression seemed to be quite regretful.
"It's okay, you don't need to be a servant?" Princess Liang thought for a while, and said, "I met so many men in Dayu, and I think you are the most beautiful one. If you are willing, I will go to the prince and say, I want you to be the son-in-law, so that you will no longer be a servant."
Ji Qingzhou was shocked when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced sideways at Princess Liang, who was a little taller than herself, and felt that she had been greatly shocked in her heart.He never expected that the protagonist of the handsome scholar snuggling in the arms of Princess Liang would be himself!
It seems that the Liang people are not generally unrestrained...
They had only met for the second time, yet Princess Liang was able to woo him regardless of her status!
Qin Zheng on the side looked at Princess Liang and then at Ji Qingzhou, with a very vigilant expression.
"Princess, don't joke." Ji Qingzhou said awkwardly.
"I'm not joking, I'm very serious." Princess Liang said: "If you agree, I will go to His Majesty the Regent to get back the pair of spikes and give it to you, and then I will give you [-] good horses in Dayu as a reward." My dowry!"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ten thousand horses!
Adding it up not only covered the 600 taels of silver he owed Li Zhan, but it was more than enough!
But Ji Qingzhou's mind just flashed a thought, don't say that he has no feelings for this Liang Guo princess and it is impossible to deceive the other party, even the other party is probably just a whim.Ji Qingzhou wouldn't abandon Li Zhan as soon as his head got hot, and go to a stranger he had only known for less than a day.
"Thank you for your wrong love, Princess." Ji Qingzhou said: "I don't want to."
Ji Qingzhou originally wanted to send a good person card, but then he felt that Princess Liang was upright, he didn't need to beat around the bush, it would be better to just refuse directly.
When Qin Zheng on the side heard Ji Qingzhou's refusal, his complexion softened a little.
Princess Liang only smiled when she heard the words, but she didn't get annoyed, and said instead: "Since you don't like me, let's be friends."
Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and appreciated the princess' temperament even more.
Princess Liang wandered around the palace hastily, she didn't seem to be very interested, so she asked Ji Qingzhou to accompany her to go outside the palace.Ji Qingzhou originally wanted to refuse, but he had already made it clear to the princess when he thought about the refusal, and the other party was not a person who was unclear, so there was no need to deliberately avoid suspicion.
Moreover, he now needs a chance to leave the palace...
"The princess waits for me to go back and change clothes, and then inform the prince." Ji Qingzhou said.
Princess Liang Guo is very considerate, knowing that there are many rules in Dayu Palace, she complied.
Ji Qingzhou first went to inform Li Zhan, Li Zhan wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Qingzhou's expression seemed to want to accompany him out of the palace, so he didn't say anything, just arranged for someone to follow, so as not to cause any trouble outside the palace.
When Ji Qingzhou went back to the room to change clothes, Qin Zheng added fuel and vinegar and told Li Zhan about Princess Liang's "court/love" with Ji Qingzhou.After Li Zhan finished listening, his expression was very complicated, and there was a trace of undisguised sharpness in his eyes.
"How did he answer?" Li Zhan asked coldly.
"He... didn't agree." Qin Zheng didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and secretly replaced Ji Qingzhou's clear refusal with no agreement.
But this "no promise" in Li Zhan's ears means "no rejection" or "may agree in the future"...
"Let Ji Qingzhou come and see me." Li Zhan said.
When Qin Zheng heard the words, he rushed to spread the word, but Ji Qingzhou didn't know, so he was called to Li Zhan's study as soon as he changed his clothes.
Li Zhan's eyes fell on Ji Qingzhou, seeing the young man looking at him innocently, most of the unknown fire in his heart was extinguished.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything harsh, but glanced at Ji Qingzhou's light blue robe with a slightly unnatural expression.The gown was unremarkable both in terms of cut and style, but wearing it on the young man made people feel very seductive.
"Change your clothes..." Li Zhan said in a deep voice.
Ji Qingzhou didn't know why, and asked, "What kind of replacement?"
"Uglier." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou:? ? ?
Conscience of heaven and earth, this robe is the ugliest piece of clothing he specially picked out to avoid suspicion!
Isn't it ugly enough?

Ji Qingzhou took an ice cube wrapped in a cloth towel in his hand, and gently pasted it on the bridge of Li Zhan's nose, applying ice for him.
Li Zhan's nosebleed finally stopped, but his complexion was very ugly, with some awkwardness and embarrassment.Qin Zheng gathered around, with an expression of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, obviously still immersed in the misunderstanding just now.
Qin Zheng has always been like this, no matter what the truth of the matter is, he will watch the excitement first before talking about it.

"My lord said no need." Due to guilty conscience, Li Zhan's voice was a little blunt when he spoke, but he soon realized that his attitude was too cold and harsh, so he quickly slowed down his tone and said: "It's too hot, don't worry .”
When Ji Qingzhou heard the words, he didn't insist anymore, but just stood by and watched Li Zhan's situation at any time.
"Don't worry!" Qin Zheng at the side comforted Ji Qingzhou: "My lord is getting angry, and I'm so suffocated..."

Qin Zheng usually has a sense of propriety in front of Li Zhan, if he hadn't been annoyed today, he wouldn't have barged in without even knocking on the door.
"My lord asked me to accompany the people from the Ministry of Rites to receive the mission. I thought it was the little prince of Liang who came. I thought that he was also my defeated opponent, so I just need to beat him up!" Qin Zheng said with a bitter expression on his face.

The members of the Liang Guo mission didn't respond to the words, and some even smiled, but the faces of the people in Dayu were very strange.It was the first time they had seen such a scene, and for a while they tried their best to hide their surprise, trying to keep themselves polite.
Ji Qingzhou felt very appreciative, and secretly thought that if there was no restriction of identity, he should be able to become friends with the other party.
"Oh?" Li Zhan smiled lightly and asked, "Then what does your majesty and this king keep for the princess's fangs?"
Princess Liang bowed respectfully to Li Zhan and said, "At that time, I will exchange something else for Your Majesty and Your Highness. That is the gift I want to present to Your Majesty and Your Highness."
Ji Qingzhou immediately understood what Princess Liang meant, and if Li Zhan fulfilled her marriage, she would be very grateful.As for what the thank you gift is, she didn't say it for the time being, but Ji Qingzhou was very curious. He really hoped that Princess Liang would get his wish, and then he would know what the thank you gift was.
"Then I wish the princess gets what she wants." Li Zhan raised his glass to her from a distance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Regent." Princess Liang raised her wine glass to gesture to Li Zhan, and drank it down.
The palace banquet that day was very smooth. Although the cultures of Liang Guo and Dayu were far apart, both parties had goodwill towards each other, and there were no calculations or temptations, so the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.Princess Liang also told everyone a lot of interesting things about her hunting, which made everyone amazed.
In the end, the princess proposed to visit the palace tomorrow, and Li Zhan naturally would not refuse.
So Qin Zheng reluctantly accepted the task of accompanying the princess to visit the Dayu Palace tomorrow!
"This princess is an interesting person." After the banquet was over, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Interesting, you can go for a walk with her tomorrow, anyway, I am not a handsome man in the eyes of others, and I am also an eyesore." Qin Zheng said with a look of lovelessness.
Ji Qingzhou really wanted to go, but he glanced at Li Zhan's expression, and immediately dismissed the idea.
That night, Ji Qingzhou came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, but saw a man sitting on the stone steps in the yard.
He stepped forward to take a look, and was surprised when he saw that it was Qin Zheng.
"Why isn't Mr. Qin asleep?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
Qin Zheng held a wine bag in his hand, and when he saw Ji Qingzhou approaching, he moved aside and motioned him to sit down.
"Are you worried?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"What can I worry about?" Qin Zheng smiled wryly.
Sitting next to him, Ji Qingzhou felt that Qin Zheng was not in the same state as usual after drinking.
After a while, Qin Zheng suddenly said: "Many years ago, Liang Guo sent their little prince to visit Dayu, and I was younger than you that year..."
"The prince of Liang who always lost to you in the fight?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"It's not old loser..." Qin Zheng's face was a little unnatural, and he said instead: "His name is Qi Jingchuan, and the princess of Liang State you met today is named Qi Jingheng. They are twins of the same mother."
Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and asked, "What does Qi Jingchuan look like?"
"It's quite similar to his sister. It's been many years, and I can't remember it." Qin Zheng said.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ji Qingzhou's face, and then he looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "Liang Guo originally said that he would send Qi Jingchuan to the capital. If he came, you must have a lot to say when you meet again..."
"There is no talk, but the fight is definitely going to be fought." Qin Zheng took another sip of wine after speaking.
"He always loses to you, what's the point of fighting?" Ji Qingzhou laughed and said, "Shouldn't it be evenly matched, and fighting is fun?"
A strange look flashed across Qin Zheng's face when he heard the words, and he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he asked instead, "Your lord didn't have any more nosebleeds tonight, did you? Did you go in and keep watch?"
"My lord never needs someone to watch the night when he goes to bed." Ji Qingzhou said.
"You don't need others to watch the night, but it doesn't mean you don't need to watch the night." Qin Zheng said: "Look at how the prince has been suppressed. If it goes on like this... maybe something will happen to him."
Ji Qingzhou frowned and said: "How could it be so exaggerated, didn't the prince come here like this before? I think he is very healthy."
"Can it be the same?" Qin Zheng said: "There are people who dangle in front of my eyes all day long, and no one can stand up to it!"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Start again, start again!
"Speaking seriously, you didn't intend to help the prince find a way?" Qin Zheng asked.
"What solution can I think of?" Ji Qingzhou said helplessly: "He is an adult, and if he has a problem, he will definitely find a way to solve it. I... can't help."
When Ji Qingzhou said this, he suddenly remembered what happened in Jiaofang Division that day.
Strictly speaking, it's not that he can't help...
"If you really don't want to, then you can arrange someone to serve the prince." When Qin Zheng said this, he stared at Ji Qingzhou meaningfully, as if he wanted to see his reaction.
Ji Qingzhou immediately objected when he heard the words: "Are you crazy? The prince has always kept himself clean, who would dare to move such a mind? Besides... I don't want to do such a thing..."
Although he knows that sending someone to the couch of a superior is a very common operation in this era, Ji Qingzhou is unwilling to do so, even if he has such rights and opportunities.
Ji Qingzhou feels that this kind of thing is unfair to both parties.
Li Zhan will not be willing to accept it, and the person who is arranged may not be willing...
"You don't want to arrange someone for the prince, does that mean you..." Qin Zheng asked.
"Stop!" Ji Qingzhou said angrily, "That's the end of this topic!"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and was very satisfied with Ji Qingzhou's reaction.
He even felt...his good brother shouldn't have to hold back for too long...
At noon the next day, Qin Zheng packed up and planned to go to the post house to pick up Princess Liang.
Unexpectedly, the other party came earlier than him, and was directly led into Yinghui Pavilion.
Because she got Li Zhan's consent last night, no one stopped her from coming to Yinghui Pavilion.
Ji Qingzhou had just finished discussing with Li Zhan and the people from the household department. As soon as he came out of the front hall, he saw Princess Liang standing in the courtyard. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him quickly.
"His Royal Highness." Ji Qingzhou saluted her.
"I asked them your name, Qingzhou." Princess Liang Chaoji Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's a nice name, as beautiful as yours."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Qin Zheng: ...
Li Zhan: ...
"My lord!" Princess Liang looked behind Ji Qingzhou, and saw Li Zhan's complicated complexion, looking at her with a bit of inquiry.
Only then did Ji Qingzhou realize that Li Zhan was behind him, so he turned sideways to make way for him.Li Zhan didn't go forward, but stood behind Ji Qingzhou, and responded lightly to Princess Liang as a greeting.
"My lord, can you let Qingzhou accompany me these few days?" Princess Liang asked.
Before Li Zhan could answer, Qin Zheng said, "Your Highness, Qin will accompany you to visit our imperial palace in Dayu today..."
"Is it possible?" Princess Liang still looked at Li Zhan with anticipation.
Qin Zheng was ignored by her, and his expression was very annoyed. Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou was afraid that he would lose face, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over and said: "My lord, the discussion is over today, and there are no other arrangements around. Why don't I accompany the princess and Mr. Qin together?" Shall we take a walk in the palace?"
He deliberately put Qin Zheng's name in his words, which was to make up for him a little bit of face.
Li Zhan didn't say anything more when he heard the words, and he responded lightly as he agreed.
"Qingzhou, have you ever been married?" Princess Liang asked Ji Qingzhou as soon as everyone left Yinghui Pavilion.
"Back to the princess, never." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Then do you have someone you like?" Princess Liang asked.
Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and reminded: "Your Highness, I am a servant, and a servant will not be emotional."
"Ah? Why?" Princess Liang asked rather puzzled.
Only then did Ji Qingzhou realize that Liang's national style is more unrestrained, and the palace may not have a servant like Dayu, so Princess Liang didn't know what the servant meant, and thought he was just an ordinary servant.
"Because..." Ji Qingzhou thought for a while, and said with discretion: "In Dayu, servants can't get married, and they can't have children."
Princess Liang nodded, her expression seemed to be quite regretful.
"It's okay, you don't need to be a servant?" Princess Liang thought for a while, and said, "I met so many men in Dayu, and I think you are the most beautiful one. If you are willing, I will go to the prince and say, I want you to be the son-in-law, so that you will no longer be a servant."
Ji Qingzhou was shocked when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced sideways at Princess Liang, who was a little taller than herself, and felt that she had been greatly shocked in her heart.He never expected that the protagonist of the handsome scholar snuggling in the arms of Princess Liang would be himself!
It seems that the Liang people are not generally unrestrained...
They had only met for the second time, yet Princess Liang was able to woo him regardless of her status!
Qin Zheng on the side looked at Princess Liang and then at Ji Qingzhou, with a very vigilant expression.
"Princess, don't joke." Ji Qingzhou said awkwardly.
"I'm not joking, I'm very serious." Princess Liang said: "If you agree, I will go to His Majesty the Regent to get back the pair of spikes and give it to you, and then I will give you [-] good horses in Dayu as a reward." My dowry!"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ten thousand horses!
Adding it up not only covered the 600 taels of silver he owed Li Zhan, but it was more than enough!
But Ji Qingzhou's mind just flashed a thought, don't say that he has no feelings for this Liang Guo princess and it is impossible to deceive the other party, even the other party is probably just a whim.Ji Qingzhou wouldn't abandon Li Zhan as soon as his head got hot, and go to a stranger he had only known for less than a day.
"Thank you for your wrong love, Princess." Ji Qingzhou said: "I don't want to."
Ji Qingzhou originally wanted to send a good person card, but then he felt that Princess Liang was upright, he didn't need to beat around the bush, it would be better to just refuse directly.
When Qin Zheng on the side heard Ji Qingzhou's refusal, his complexion softened a little.
Princess Liang only smiled when she heard the words, but she didn't get annoyed, and said instead: "Since you don't like me, let's be friends."
Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and appreciated the princess' temperament even more.
Princess Liang wandered around the palace hastily, she didn't seem to be very interested, so she asked Ji Qingzhou to accompany her to go outside the palace.Ji Qingzhou originally wanted to refuse, but he had already made it clear to the princess when he thought about the refusal, and the other party was not a person who was unclear, so there was no need to deliberately avoid suspicion.
Moreover, he now needs a chance to leave the palace...
"The princess waits for me to go back and change clothes, and then inform the prince." Ji Qingzhou said.
Princess Liang Guo is very considerate, knowing that there are many rules in Dayu Palace, she complied.
Ji Qingzhou first went to inform Li Zhan, Li Zhan wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Qingzhou's expression seemed to want to accompany him out of the palace, so he didn't say anything, just arranged for someone to follow, so as not to cause any trouble outside the palace.
When Ji Qingzhou went back to the room to change clothes, Qin Zheng added fuel and vinegar and told Li Zhan about Princess Liang's "court/love" with Ji Qingzhou.After Li Zhan finished listening, his expression was very complicated, and there was a trace of undisguised sharpness in his eyes.
"How did he answer?" Li Zhan asked coldly.
"He... didn't agree." Qin Zheng didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and secretly replaced Ji Qingzhou's clear refusal with no agreement.
But this "no promise" in Li Zhan's ears means "no rejection" or "may agree in the future"...
"Let Ji Qingzhou come and see me." Li Zhan said.
When Qin Zheng heard the words, he rushed to spread the word, but Ji Qingzhou didn't know, so he was called to Li Zhan's study as soon as he changed his clothes.
Li Zhan's eyes fell on Ji Qingzhou, seeing the young man looking at him innocently, most of the unknown fire in his heart was extinguished.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything harsh, but glanced at Ji Qingzhou's light blue robe with a slightly unnatural expression.The gown was unremarkable both in terms of cut and style, but wearing it on the young man made people feel very seductive.
"Change your clothes..." Li Zhan said in a deep voice.
Ji Qingzhou didn't know why, and asked, "What kind of replacement?"
"Uglier." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou:? ? ?
Conscience of heaven and earth, this robe is the ugliest piece of clothing he specially picked out to avoid suspicion!
Isn't it ugly enough?
