Dongfang Lian took a sip.

"Have you heard those rumors?"

Long Qijin paid attention to the expression of Dongfang Lian.

"Yes, I'm not surprised that the old slut did this to me. Miss Ben was about to fight back, and someone helped me. It seems that King Jing is really righteous enough. Maybe it's thanks to me for saving his life, but he helped me a lot this time. ”

Dongfang Lian's expression didn't see anything wrong.

Long Qijin also smiled slowly.

"King Jing is still righteous enough, and the palace also has a headache, how can I help you spread the rumors. ”

"Does the Seventh Highness think it's just a rumor?"

Dongfang Lian glanced at Long Qijin lightly, "After all, I have been missing for so long, and it is understandable that such rumors have spread, isn't Your Highness the Seventh worried, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. In this world, there will always be some people who are not happy to see us happy. How can we do what they want? What those people do to us, we will have to fight back a hundredfold, a thousandfold. How can they succeed in their treacherous schemes?"

"Yes, thank you for your trust. Dongfang Lianying smiled.

If she didn't have a certain understanding of Long Qijin, she would definitely fully believe his words. However, Long Qijin was uncertain.

Dongfang Lian can't forget that in his previous life, in the last half a year, Long Qijin obviously didn't trust her and suspected that she was having an affair with Ouyang Xiu, but he showed love with her every day.

Such a man is extremely scheming and the city is extremely deep, and he can't believe his words.

He is willing to do all kinds of things to you, but to take advantage of you, but because you are still valuable.

Walking behind the carriage of the Seven Kings' Mansion was the carriage of the Taiwei Mansion.

And Ouyang Xiu also sat in the carriage.

He only returned home this afternoon, and then attended the palace banquet in the evening.

Because of his safe return, the entire Taiwei Mansion was filled with joy, especially Ouyang Xiang, who pestered him for a long time.

Because of his safe return, the entire Taiwei Mansion was filled with joy, especially Ouyang Xiang, who pestered him for a long time.

Now, Ouyang Xiang is also sharing a carriage with him, and Ouyang Xiang asked him several times, "Brother, have you been in a coma these days, and did you go home as soon as you woke up?"

"Of course. Xiang'er, don't you still believe your brother's words?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at Ouyang Xiang with a pulse. Xiang'er, please forgive my brother for not being able to tell you the truth

"No, I just think that Oriental love is too hateful. You are here to save her, but after she came back, she didn't go to our Taiwei's Mansion to say sorry, she knew that you hadn't come back at that time. ”

Ouyang Xiang was indignant.

"I saved her out of humanity, not to win her gratitude. ”

Ouyang Xiu said plainly.

"By the way, brother, have you really decided to participate in this year's imperial examination?"

If Ouyang Xiu went home this time, what changed should be Ouyang Xiu's announcement to the whole family that he was going to participate in this year's imperial examination.

However, this news has not yet been announced to the outside world by the Ouyang family.

First, because there is still some time before the imperial examination, and second, they are worried that Ouyang Xiu, who has always been enthusiastic and free, may change his attitude when he will change his attitude. Maybe Ouyang Xiu was just a whim.

"Yes, is it so strange, isn't it what grandpa hoped to participate in the imperial examination?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled faintly.

"But every time you don't listen. In fact, brother, there is no problem with your talent to directly enter the cabinet, you are the head of the seven talents of the Canghuang Continent, why bother to participate in any imperial examinations, your talent is recognized by the people of the world. ”

Ouyang Xiang didn't understand a little.

"Xiang'er, you don't understand. For entering the officialdom, it is naturally best to have a meritorious name. The most justifiable, otherwise there is a suspicion of internal determination, which is also unfair to the world's readers."

Yes, Ouyang Xiu has already made up his mind to step into officialdom. Before, he didn't pursue, he didn't have anything he wanted to protect.

Taiwei Mansion, it is enough to have a grandfather at present, and grandpa's current body and ability are not yet the time to retire and need him to take over. But in those days in the cabin, he accompanied Dongfang Lian, and when he heard what Long Jingfang said to him, he knew that Dongfang Lian had more things to do, so he felt that he couldn't stay out of it like this anymore. He was worried that he would get farther and farther away from Dongfang Lian.

is also worried that with Dongfang Lian's current ability, she does not have enough strength to protect herself

"Brother, it's strange that you're back this time. If I wasn't too familiar with you, I really suspected that someone else was impersonating you. ”

Ouyang Xiang looked at his brother who had grown up together, Ouyang Xiu.

"Xiang'er, you've changed too. Xiang'er used to be a quiet lady, but during my absence, you were looking for me, but it was really difficult for you to go out every day, Xiang'er.

"Now that you have grown up, my brother is more at ease with you. After this incident, my brother believes that you have also matured. Xiang'er, there are so many good men in the world, you know"

Ouyang Xiang didn't say anything, but nodded. Yes, maybe she knows what she should do, but she is inexplicably a little unwilling.

Ouyang Xiang didn't say anything, but nodded. Yes, maybe she knows what she should do, but she is inexplicably a little unwilling.

How can the girl of their Ouyang family be disliked? Even if that person is the pride of the sky, it can't be done! Long Qijin, what's the matter with you, I want you to regret not choosing me Ouyang Xiang.

This palace banquet was grand.

Hundreds of officials brought their wives, nobles, and princes and sons dressed up to participate.

And Emperor Long Hong and Empress Ouyang Jing were also present.

The courtesans and maikos in the palace put on a wonderful performance, and the officials applauded.

As the atmosphere progressed, it soon came to the scheduled chapter of tonight's banquet.

I saw the emperor look at Murong Zi, who was particularly disturbed tonight, with great interest, "Miss Murong family, I heard from the queen that in the Hundred Flowers Festival, you are the first in piano skills." ”

"The courtier's wandering is just a small piano skill, which is not worth mentioning compared to the world-famous Five Highnesses. Even compared with Miss Li's family, it may be slightly inferior. Luo Zi heard that Miss Li was ill the next time, so she gave up the reputation of being the first in piano skills to Luo Zi. ”

Murong Luozi, who was dressed in pink, was quite modest.

Murong Luozi's appearance is extremely beautiful, with a little powder, and her lips are red without dotting. The skin is better than snow, the eyes are bright, and the teeth are beautiful.

Long Hong listened to her humility and nodded, "She is a good girl who is not arrogant or impatient." That being the case, Murong girl, you can give me a song, I want to hear your piano skills, how does it compare with Mu'er.

"I also heard the piano of the Li family girl this time, and it is also excellent. I'll make a judgment today, and see who wins and who loses between the two girls. ”

Long Hong smiled.

"Yes, it is the honor of a courtier to be able to perform for His Majesty. ”

Murong Luozi's piano sound is different from Li Yanwen's imitation of Long Qimu's Qingyou, but it is a kind of shock of tall flowing water.

As a general's woman, Murong Luozi's piano sound is leisurely with a bit of battlefield killing, especially the track she performed is "Battlefield Point General", so this kind of battlefield killing atmosphere is even more needed.

Murong Luozi is the daughter of Jiangmen, although this mainland woman does not deliberately practice martial arts, but a woman like Murong Luozi is both civil and military.

It's not just her, it's her three brothers, all of whom are both civil and military.

However, the assassination not long ago left her second brother lying in bed, and now her eldest brother has lost a leg.

Murong Luozi's mood was also greatly affected because of these things, and there was some grief and indignation in the sound of the piano.

Played high, the strings broke.

But Murong Luozi did not panic because of this, but played it with a broken piano at all, and the notes played were not bad at all.

This attainment is that even Long Qimu, a person who has deep piano skills, is deeply shocked.

After hearing this, the officials praised the honor.

"Li Xiang, how's it going?"

The emperor himself did not judge Murong Luozi's piano sound, but let Li Yanwen's father, Li Zhongyuan, judge on the right.

Li Zhongyuan also knew that the emperor's move was to give him some face.

So he stood up and said, "Miss Murong's piano sound is better than that of the little girl." ”

"Yes. ”

Li Yanwen also stood up generously, "Yan'er didn't play well because of physical discomfort this time, and she still had some regrets." But after listening to Miss Murong's song today, Yan'er finally knew where her gap was. I don't have any regrets. ”

Li Yanwen also stood up generously, "Yan'er didn't play well because of physical discomfort this time, and she still had some regrets." But after listening to Miss Murong's song today, Yan'er finally knew where her gap was. I don't have any regrets. ”

Li Yanwen is very high-end, even if he loses, he loses convincingly.

For this reason, the emperor's rating of Li Yanwen has also increased a little, "The Li family girl and the Murong girl are both good." Yan'er has already promised us Mu'er, and it is not considered a fat outflow. Now I want Murong to marry into the royal family. ”

Long Hong's eyes turned around the princes, and he also inspected the faces of the concubines.

Among them, Concubine Kang's eyes were the most eager, and what she wanted to promote was the marriage between Long Qihao and Murong Luozi.

However, the emperor's eyes stayed on the body of the seventh prince, Long Qijin.

"Jin'er, what do you think?"

Long Zhijin was stunned.

Because there was no rumor before, Long Hong planned to give Murong Luozi to himself.

It happened so suddenly, Long Qijin thought about it, and probably guessed Long Hong's purpose.

Presumably he thought that he was fighting fiercely with the Zhenguo Mansion, which would make the court uneasy, so he wanted to resolve the discord between the two mansions with a joint marriage.

Moreover, the Zhenguo Mansion and Long Qihao still have that relationship, so even if they get married, the power of the Zhenguo Mansion will not completely fall to his side, but will make a parallel between the two, which will be of great benefit to the situation in the DPRK and China.

Long Qijin had to applaud Long Hong's consideration. The father is the father, and even the marriage can be arranged so properly.

cleverly warned the Seven Princes Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, and it would not make the Second Mansion unhappy with the imperial power, and this was a holy decree, so it seemed that it was disobedient.

Indeed, if Dongfang Lian didn't come back, or maybe Dongfang Lian didn't go further with him, Long Qijin thought he would have accepted this marriage.

After all, this is also very good for him. The benefits obtained from marrying Ouyang Xiang should be similar. And it can also make my father feel at ease, why not?

can

Oriental Love.

Long Qijin glanced back at Dongfang Lian, only to see that her eyes were also looking at him, a little anxious.

He smiled slightly, reassuring her.

"Father, Jin'er asked his father to marry his lover. The father has not yet replied to Jin'er. ”

"Oh, this matter" Long Hong's expression didn't seem to see the unhappiness, but said in a very relaxed tone, "Because of this incident, I also found Lu Neng later and asked him to calculate the compatibility of the two of you." Lu Neng told me that there are too many variables between the two of you, Jin'er, can you think about anything else?"

Long Hong's attitude is quite soft, which is rare before.

"Father, Jin'er already has someone in her heart, which is unfair to Miss Murong. ”

Long Qijin vaguely refused.

However, when the Zhenguo Mansion heard it in its ears, it was an absolute insult.

Although Long Qijin's status as a prince is there, there are only a few noble girls who can match the status of a prince.

Their concubine Murong Luozi of the Zhenguo Mansion is worse than other nobles?

Suddenly, Murong Zixiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, stood up, "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Seventh has love in his heart, we Luo Zi are not willing to be the one who destroys the happiness of His Royal Highness." ”

Suddenly, Murong Zixiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, stood up, "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Seventh has love in his heart, we Luo Zi are not willing to be the one who destroys the happiness of His Royal Highness." ”

Originally, it was impossible for Murong Zixiong to marry Long Qijin without any guilt and marry his granddaughter to Long Qijin. Now that he came, he felt even more that there was no need to get married.

Long Hong turned out to be kind and pleasant, but the monarch could not be provoked.

Long Qijin and Murong Zixiong sang such a play to him at the same time, which was a provocation to his imperial power.

Suddenly, Long Hong's face changed.

"What if, this is the decree?"

"Your Majesty. ”

Jiang was still old and spicy, and Murong Zixiong immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Then please ask Your Majesty to dictate or give an order, as long as it is a holy decree, there is naturally no reason to resist." Our Zhenguo Mansion is a loyal martyr, and he will not be a disloyal minister who resists the order. ”

Murong Zixiong wants to see how Long Qijin has the best of both worlds, whether he obeys his father or wants to be beautiful?

Long Qijin was indeed struggling inside, and for a while, his thoughts came to him.

Even conspiracy theories were taken into account by him.

The sudden change in Dongfang Love's attitude, his slightest worries, and tonight's unexpected marriage in politics, will these things be related?

"Your Highness, don't make your father and son discordant for the sake of your son. In this way, the lover is a sinner. ”

Oriental love is low to Long Qijin.

"Lovers. ”

Originally, Long Qijin, who was a little rude, suddenly made up his mind.

Yes, Dongfang Lian finally came to him, and their relationship is closer than before.

How could he give up on this woman so easily.

Besides, Long Hong, as long as he obeys him, will he give him the throne, isn't it?

Perhaps, now, it is the first step in the confrontation between him and Long Hong's father and son.

Long Hong's health is getting worse and worse now, and the courtiers have begun to speculate in their hearts about the heir to the throne of the Phoenix Kingdom, so why don't he expand this battle for the throne to the extreme?

"Jin'er, don't thank your father for the marriage. Seeing that the situation was not good, Concubine An stood up and turned the tide.

At the same time, she had already agreed to this marriage with a smile, "This Murong girl, this palace also likes it very much, if Jin'er can marry Murong girl, it will be Jin'er's blessing." ”
