Ximen Longao waved his hand and said quietly: "Princess Ziyu is too polite, the weather in Xiling Kingdom is relatively cold, and my palace is indeed not warmer than in the palace of Nanyue Kingdom, Princess Ziyu may not be suitable for the climate here." I thought that when Princess Ziyu got better, it would be best to let her go back to Nanyue to continue recuperation, otherwise, if something went wrong in Xiling Kingdom, I would not be able to explain it to Brother Lan. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, didn't Ximen Longao clearly want to drive Lan Ziyu away?

Xu Nuo was shocked and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyu is in good health, and although she has suffered some wind and cold, she will recover soon. Before the feast of choosing a concubine, you will definitely be able to fully recover, please don't send Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyu back to Nanyue. Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyu has a deep affection for His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, and if she knew that she could not participate in the concubine selection feast, she would definitely be very sad. ”

Ximen Longao frowned, looked at Xu Nuo unhappily, and his expression was very embarrassed. In the main hall, the atmosphere was suddenly solemn, Xu Nuo hung his head slightly, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

Everyone was silent, and even Lan Ziheng did not intercede for Lan Ziyu and Xu Nuo, but instead blamed Xu Nuo in a low voice, saying, "Xu Aiqing, since Princess Ziyu is unwell, you can arrange for her to return to China to recuperate." If you delay Princess Ziyu's illness, or pass her illness on to others, can you afford it?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Nuo didn't dare to say anything more, nodded, and bowed to the side.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ximen Long couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "It's still Lan Xian's nephew who understands my difficulties and eliminates the hidden worries in my heart for me. In a few days, the envoys of the Eastern Li Kingdom and the Northern Chen Kingdom will also arrive, and there will be many people at that time, and the people below may not be able to take care of them so thoroughly. In the event of another typhoid infection, like the last time I was attacked by poisonous insects, I will have another headache. ”

Although Lan Ziheng didn't know about the poisonous insects invading the back garden, listening to the meaning of Ximen Longao's words, he could roughly guess that this must have been done by Lan Ziyu, so Ximen Longao insisted on sending her away. But why did Lan Ziyu do this?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ximen Longao smiled and said lightly: "Lan Xian's nephew and Princess Heshuo have worked the road, Qing'er, you take them to rest, and at the dinner, I will order someone to inform everyone." ”

"Yes, Father. Ximen Yuqing nodded slightly, stepped up to Lan Ziheng, and smiled gently: "Brother Lan, please come here." ”

Lan Ziheng arched his hand to Ximen Longao, and then followed behind Ximen Yuqing and walked out. Lu Manting followed behind them, and when she walked in front of Zhou Chengkuan, she stopped, smiled at Zhou Chengkuan, and asked in a coquettish voice: "His Royal Highness King Ping, Manting has something to say to you alone, can we go together?"

Zhou Chengkuan glanced at Lu Manting lightly, frowned slightly, and faced the invitation of the beautiful woman in public, he hadn't thought about how to deal with it for a while.

Lin Wan got up and gently blessed Ximen Longao, and said, "Your Majesty, Wan'er and the imperial brother will also leave, we will definitely attend tonight's banquet on time." ”

Ximen Longao nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, but kept his eyes on Lu Manting and Zhou Chengkuan, who had been stalemate for a long time.

Zhou Chengkuan frowned impatiently, but his eyes looked away, as if he hadn't heard Lu Manting's words.

Lu Manting still looked at Zhou Chengkuan stupidly, as if she had forgotten what she should do, forgot the question she just asked, and forgot that Zhou Chengkuan did not answer herself. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chengkuan like this, his eyes were obsessed, his eyes were complicated, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Lin Wan smiled faintly and sneered at Lu Manting: "Sister Lu, His Royal Highness Prince Lan is still waiting for you outside, and you, as his fiancée, insist on talking alone with the imperial brother in full view of everyone." Haven't you seen at all that the imperial brother doesn't want to talk to you? Moreover, even if you don't care about your own face, you don't care about the face of the Great Feudal Kingdom, but don't you even care about the face of your fiancé, His Royal Highness Prince Lan?"

Lu Manting was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Wan's words to be so straightforward and sharp, and she was criticized in public to the point where she was incomplete.

"Flutter", I don't know who it is, I can't help laughing, the ridicule in that voice makes Lu Manting feel more embarrassed than Lin Wan's words.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Shangguan Yun, who had been standing behind Lin Wan just now, was whispering at the moment, pursing his lips, as if he was holding back a laugh, but he really couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he might laugh again at any time.

Lu Manting's willow eyebrows were upside down, her pretty face was flushed with anger, she glanced at Lin Wan hatefully, and reprimanded coldly: "If there is really a master, there must be a servant." Sister Wan'er doesn't know where to find such a maid who has no etiquette at all, it's really embarrassing!"

When Shangguan Yun heard this, his smile suddenly dissipated, raised his head and glared at Lu Manting angrily, and was about to reply to her fiercely.

But suddenly heard a "snap", Ximen Long proudly put the fold in his hand on the bookcase, frowned at Shangguan Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Yun'er, don't be rude." After speaking, he explained to Lu Manting: "Princess Heshuo, please forgive me, this Yun'er is not the maid of Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, but my niece, this child has been disobedient to discipline since he was a child, there are no rules, and please Princess Heshuo don't be angry with her." ”

Lu Manting was stunned, and glanced at Shangguan Yun carefully, only to see that she was also looking at Ximen Longao in disbelief, as if she didn't expect Ximen Longao to speak out to defend her.

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "Sister Lu, your eye strength is really worrying. However, nothing can stop you from having a good life, you are beautiful and beautiful, and you have such a noble and generous fiancé as His Royal Highness Prince Lan, my little sister advises you, don't be half-hearted, be careful of ending up in a bamboo basket. ”

Lu Manting looked at Lin Wan hatefully, but gradually calmed down, smiled gently, and said, "Thank you Sister Wan'er for reminding her." After speaking, he turned to Ximen Longao, bowed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Manting may be too tired, and she is a little unscrupulous, please don't blame the emperor!" Then, he turned to Shangguan Yun, bent his knees and said apologetically: "Miss Yun'er, I was offended just now, please Miss Yun'er don't be like me." ”

As for Lu Manting's sudden change, Shangguan Yun couldn't adapt for a while, nodded awkwardly, and didn't say anything more.

Ximen Long laughed arrogantly and said, "Okay, you are all girls of the same age, you should be closer and talk more." If there is any misunderstanding, just say it, and we still have to get along in harmony in the future. ”
