Chapter 33: What will be done
Tianqing's sleeve robe rolled down, Lu Zhi stood in place, tucked his hand in his sleeve, and his face was bleak again, but the hat blocked his face, and he could only know from the indifferent voice: "After so many years, it seems that the prince's temperament of not listening to people's words has not changed." ”
"What is this king like, it's your turn to put your beak?" King Xiang twisted his eyebrows and scolded, "Lu Zhen, you are so big. ”
King Xiang is in charge of the military department and the forbidden army of the Northern Ya, and he has always been at odds with the Southern Ya, but before that, he would make a harmonious appearance on the surface, and he didn't know that today's King Xiang would be so fierce to Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi only laughed, and his momentum was not inferior to the heavenly nobles on the other side: "The prince came here after eating a cannon battle today?" No wonder, looking at it, it was a posture of provocation, and he also took Commander Zhao to break into the Yuanguo Academy, and the play was very good, and the minister was taught. ”
Mei Rui stood behind Lu Zhen, only saluted King Xiang at the beginning, and never made a sound, when Lu Zhi mentioned Zhao Chun, she raised her eyes slightly to look over, just in front of Zhao Chun's gaze looking at this side.
Resentment, grief, shame...... Mei Rui looked at him calmly, she and Lu Zhi didn't have anything to hide, and if they were bumped into, they would be bumped into, and those gossips had now become a fact, and it was expected that those who couldn't control their mouths would no longer be able to come up with any tricks. In the end, Zhao Chun couldn't resist it first, and hated to turn his head away, as if he was angry.
King Xiang put his hands behind his back and sneered at Lu Zhen, "Let's talk about it, I pressed down the fold of the military salary before, when can I give this king a word." ”
Lu Zhi was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, and only after the impatience between King Xiang's eyebrows was obvious, he said slowly: "The prince looked at the memory of the minister, maybe he was sick, so he delayed and forgot about it." It's really no wonder that you are a minister, Zheng Xiang didn't nod his head, and he couldn't approve it. How can a minister have such a great power, but he is just doing trivial chores for His Majesty, and the prince blames the wrong person. ”
Hearing this, King Xiang picked his lips, he was six points similar to Emperor Huai, but his facial features were more awe-inspiring and delicate, "Don't play with this king, how can this king be a child, let you fool him." ”
But Lu Zhi still abides by his duty, does not overstep his authority or exceeds the rules, but everyone has a mirror in his heart, whether the military salary is allocated or not, it is all a matter of Lu Zhi's words, King Xiang is not light, his brows are furrowed and he has not stretched, and he said three times in a row: "Count you Lu Zhi has the ability, let's wait and see." ”
turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Zhi was still in the same place, and said in a loud voice motionless: "Congratulations to the prince." ”
Only then did he fold out of the Yuanguo Courtyard, and King Xiang turned his head to Zhao Chun, who was silent, and said, "See clearly? That's the childhood sweetheart you never forget, mixed with a eunuch, in vain from your affection for her. ”
Zhao Chun's face was very ugly, "I think she is not that kind of person." I wanted to say the latter sentence, but I swallowed it back.
"Oh?" The interest was disturbed, King Xiang had no intention of appreciating the flowers, and the tourists who came and went also shook him upset, he walked in front, "Then according to your meaning, she is afraid of Lu Zhi's means, and he is forced to dare not resist?" ”
Zhao Chun lowered his eyes and recalled the situation of Fang Cai, at first it was King Xiang who invited him to come to Ci'en Temple today to enjoy the flowers, he saw a figure very similar to Mei Rui in the crowd, it was inevitable to look at it a few more times, and then he was sure that it was her, and when he was about to go up and ask her why she was here, a man with a hat suddenly appeared and took her to a remote place.
Where did he know that it was Lu Zhen, but when she was kidnapped by someone he didn't know, and was about to step forward to stop her, King Xiang turned out from behind him, squinted at the pair of figures, and smacked his tongue, isn't that Lu Zhen?
How could she be with Lu Zhi, why didn't she listen to his words, and told her not to get too close to Lu Zhi, and to take precautions in the future, but now she is really taken by Lu Zhen, if he and King Xiang didn't arrive in time today, I don't know what Lu Zhi would do to her. Zhao Chun's face turned blue with hatred, and suddenly remembered one more thing, he woke up suddenly, and was about to go back with his legs, but was pulled by King Xiang with a frown: "You are stunned, where is this going?" ”
Zhao Chun gritted his teeth, "Lord Wang, if Lu Gelding sees the prince gone, how can it be good to do something wrong to Rui Rui?" Shocked to think about it, he shook his head, "The minister has to go back and take Rui Rui away." ”
"Come on," King Xiang sneered, "he's a eunuch, he doesn't have anything on his body or hand, how can he mistreat her?" In broad daylight, when the king came out, he had already seen a monk going to the courtyard, so he could not do anything ridiculous. ”
Zhao Chun calmed down at this time, and thanked King Xiang Dade, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”
"This king wants to say more than this to you," King Xiang glanced at Zhao Chun, "How can you say that you are also a person who has seen a lot of scenes, why are you still so impatient with women, you took her away today, and tomorrow she will still be on an errand under Lu Zhi's nose, and Lu Zhi will be provoked by you to do her as soon as possible, so you just have to wait to regret your mistakes." Seeing Zhao Chun's face change slightly, King Xiang smiled again, "Do things beautifully, you haven't learned from this king for so long, it's really unteachable." ”
Zhao Chun put on a posture of listening attentively, and sincerely asked King Xiang for advice: "Please also ask the prince to make it clear." ”
King Xiang smiled, "Lang is a concubine, but there is a lack of a serious name to welcome into the mansion, if you really miss her like this, this king will do this for you tomorrow." ”
*
Afterwards, Mei Rui returned to the carriage with Lu Zhen, Lu Zhi took off his hat, pursed his lips and said nothing, Mei Rui sat next to him, glanced at his expression, and asked directly: "Are the guards angry?" ”
"Never."
But his displeasure was written on his face, it was clearly March Yangchun, and his face was also frighteningly cold, Mei Rui moved closer, grabbed his hand, and after noticing his imperceptible resistance, he sighed: "Why are the guards always like this, what are you thinking in your heart, you never want to tell me, don't the guards think it's unfair to me?" ”
She buried her head and muttered, "Since this is the case, the courtesy is still exchanged, then I won't tell the protector if I have anything to say next time." ”
"How can you use this for the exchange of gifts?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but make a sound, seeing that she raised her eyes slightly to look at him, she pressed her expression down again, in the end, he grabbed Mei Rui's hand, and his good-looking eyebrows twisted, "You say, what kind of relationship did you have with Zhao Yuanliang before?" ”
He was the first to ask a question, and Mei Rui was stunned by his question, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she gave him a strange look: "The guards have been thinking about this?" ”
Lu Zhi stiffened her face, how to look at how awkward, Mei Rui burst out laughing, covering her waist and out of control, Lu Zhi looked at her and laughed heartily, and turned her head coldly: "Is this incident so funny?" ”
"Hey," Mei Rui smiled, and said to him seriously, "If the Protector is worried about this, it's really unnecessary, didn't the Protector already know about my relationship with the Zhao family?" ”
Lu Zhi frowned, "I only know that Ling Zun and Empress Dowager Zhao are old acquaintances, and nothing else, as for why you entered the palace with the relationship of the Zhao family, I don't know." He glanced at her, "I'm afraid I don't even know that it's Zhao Yuanliang's intention to assign you to the Literature Museum?" ”
This Mei Rui really didn't know, she wondered, "Is it him?" Why is that? Lu Zhi didn't answer, so she continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter where it's assigned, it's not that I can't do those things, it's just that there is no literature museum to be idle." ”
"The Literature Museum is not only idle, but also unattended," Lu Zhi said in a tone of voice, "If it weren't for His Majesty's noisy nature and hiding in the Literature Museum that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that there was such a beauty in the palace." ”
"You man!" At that time, Mei Rui became angry, and she began to settle old accounts with him, "Why was it so unkind at that time, that bowl of water was mixed by me before you came in, you are good, indiscriminately let me go to receive the punishment, and unload my errand!" ”
She raised her eyebrows with a different grace, "And the sugar cake that time!" ”
Lu Zhi felt that she was terrible, she remembered these things clearly, and then she didn't care about making trouble, coaxing her was the most important thing, he squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the mission of the Literature Museum, how could you come to the palace, and how would I know you?" This is all a matter in the dark, and we have to investigate it carefully, I'm afraid it can only be about one fate. ”
Mei Rui laughed when she heard it: "The word fate is really wronged, the good and the bad are pushed to it, according to me, the matter is man-made, and the fate is also determined by people, without so many things in front, I and the protector should be a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles, it is really fortunate." ”
Lu Zhi also calmed down, and looked at her with a softened expression: "I like this sentence of the bachelor, things are man-made, and fate is also determined by people, so since this is the case, no matter what, the relationship between the bachelor and me cannot be broken in this life." ”
"Aren't you afraid that the protector will be annoyed by me when she says this?" She tilted her head, "How could I ever have thought of breaking free, there are thousands of dangers in front of me, I am accompanied by the escort army, with the escort army by my side, what hurdle can I not get over?" ”
She said this eloquently, and even Lu Zhi was moved, but it was a pity that the good night was too short, and she had to go back to the palace after staying in the Protector's Mansion for a few more days.
On the day she returned to the palace, the first person she saw was not the pearl hanging from her heart, but the big celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager Zhao of Xingqing Palace, Zhou Shouhai.
Zhou Shouhai is still the same fat head and big ears, even richer than before, he waited in front of Zhanghua's door with floating dust, and said to Mei Rui: "Miss Mei Rui, let our family wait for you, the Queen Mother summoned you to meet you." ”
