Chapter 731: Equal
Lu Manting knew to cry from beginning to end, and didn't say a word. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Changan also had no way to take her, frowned, and asked Lu Qishan, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with Manting? Is it related to Qi'er? What is going on?"
Lu Qishan said coldly: "Then I have to ask your good son to do such a thing that damages the face of the royal family." The emperor can't protect him anymore this time, and he has to give an explanation to the Guogong Mansion no matter what!"
After speaking, he instructed the Golden Palm Palace to tell the whole thing in front of everyone.
The Golden Palm Palace is also not ambiguous, how did he find out that Lu Manting was not in the room last night, and only reported to the Queen Mother early this morning. went to the Yichen Palace, and how did he see Lu Manting and the Seventh Prince running out of the dormitory one after another in rags. How did the Seven Princes die and didn't admit it, how pitiful and innocent Lu Manting was. added oil and vinegar to the whole process, and told it with a smile on his eyebrows.
Zhou Changan couldn't help but secretly feel a headache, frowned at Zhou Tianqi, and asked coldly: "Qi'er, is what the Golden Palm Palace said true?"
Zhou Tianqi gritted his teeth, and he couldn't refute it for a while. Because, what the Golden Palm Palace said, although it is a bit exaggerated, is basically true.
Zhou Changan saw that Zhou Tianqi didn't speak, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious for him, sighed, and said: "Qi'er, you and Manting grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses. Now that you have grown up, if you really have feelings for each other, you are confused for a while, and you have made a big mistake, it is understandable, and you are all unmarried......"
Zhou Tianqi was anxious, raised his head, glared at Zhou Changan, and shouted loudly: "Father, the emperor!
Zhou Changan's original intention was to force him to say it himself, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, but on the surface, he asked suspiciously: "Qi'er, what's going on?"
Although Zhou Tianqi didn't want to explain anymore, if he didn't explain, he would be forced to carry this black cauldron. I had no choice but to wrinkle my brows, stalk my neck and say: "Father Qi, Erchen went out of the palace to meet a friend last night, and he only came back early this morning. When the imperial grandmother came, the son-in-law had just changed his clothes, and the son-chan didn't know why Princess Heshuo was in the son-chan's bedroom, and as soon as the son-chan found her, she ran out, and the son-chan originally wanted to chase her out and ask for clarification, but was misunderstood by the emperor's grandmother. Father, son and son are wronged, please ask father to investigate!"
Lu Qishan frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "Qi'er, your father also said just now, although you did something wrong, but if you are happy with each other, your father has always been enlightened, and he will definitely fulfill you, and maybe he can achieve a good story." You don't have to be reluctant to admit it for fear of ruining your reputation. ”
Zhou Tianqi was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after a long time, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Erchen didn't!"
The hall was at a stalemate for a while, and Zhou Changan was silent.
Ximen Yuqing suddenly sighed, and said lightly: "I have heard that the Seven Princes of the Great Seal Kingdom are heroes, and at a young age, they can lead the Pingnan army to fight with General Hong Qiong. And what's even more rare is that the Seven Princes never drink, never be a good woman, and are almost impeccable. Although the crown prince has no deep friendship with the Seventh Prince, he also believes in the Seventh Prince's character, and if he really does it, he will definitely not deny it. ”
Zhou Changan didn't expect that Ximen Yuqing would suddenly help Zhou Tianqi speak, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded, and said: "What Ximen Xian's nephew said is very true, and I also believe that Qi'er will not do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding in it." ”
Ximen Yuqing nodded, looked at Lu Manting, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, the little nephew and Princess Heshuo have also had a few faces, Princess Heshuo is dignified and generous, talented, and impressed the little nephew very deeply. The little nephew also believed that she would not do such a shameless thing, and the little nephew hoped to invite Princess Heshuo to Xiling Kingdom to participate in next year's concubine selection feast. ”
Lu Manting was shocked when she heard this, raised her head and looked at Ximen Yuqing in amazement, and said in a trembling voice: "Man, Manting thanks His Royal Highness Prince Ximen for his kindness, but Manting can't go to the banquet of Prince Ximen's concubine selection because, because of ......"
Ximen Yuqing frowned slightly, but couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, he didn't expect that Lu Manting would have such courage to not only dare to express her feelings in public, but also dare to refuse his invitation bluntly in front of Zhou Changan and him.
Zhou Changan also frowned, very dissatisfied with Lu Manting. In any case, Lu Manting's rejection of Prince Ximen in person at this moment was too much for Zhou Changan to come to power.
Lu Qishan raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Presumptuous! This matter should be decided by the emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, where is your choice?"
Ximen Yuqing chuckled, shook his head, and said dejectedly: "I really didn't expect that Prince Ben would be so unattractive, and he would be so disgusted by Princess Heshuo, it really saddened Prince Ben." ”
Lu Manting also realized that what she had just said was very inappropriate, bit her lower lip, thought about it, and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen, if Manting remembers correctly, last time at the Qixi banquet, you praised the county lord of Wanxin, and the county lord of Wanxin is above Manting, it is better to ......"
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, shook his head, and said: "This prince doesn't want to be rejected by two beauties in one day, in that case, this prince's heart will be broken." ”
Lu Manting didn't give up, and continued: "It's better to ask Sister Wan'er to ask." ”
Zhou Tianqi already hated Lu Manting at the moment, I really don't know if she was unintentional or intentional, and she was bent on pushing Lin Wan to Ximen Yuqing.
Ximen Yu pondered for a moment, turned his head to Zhou Chang'an, hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Zhou, why don't you ask the county lord Wanxin to ask, the little nephew really wants to know if he is really so annoying." ”
Zhou Changan was very embarrassed, and secretly complained in his heart. Why is the matter getting more and more complicated, and it actually came to Lin Wan's head. This matter of Lu Manting is enough to give him a headache, and if he offends Prince Ximen in front of him, wouldn't he want to make him, the king of a country, lose face?
Seeing Zhou Chang'an's hesitation, Lu Qishan suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, since Prince Ximen has spoken, how can we repeatedly refuse the guests' requests? Let Gonggong Qi go and pick up Wan'er immediately." It just so happens that Wan'er, Manting, and Qi'er all grew up together, and they are very good on weekdays, so let her persuade them, maybe these two things can be solved today. ”
Zhou Changan nodded helplessly, and instructed Gonggong Qi beside him, "Qi Hai, you go and pick up Wan'er, go and come back quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave obeys the order!" Father-in-law Qi immediately took the order and left.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Lu Manting lowered her head again and continued to play the role of the bully weak. And a new round of interrogation of Zhou Tianqi has begun.
