Chapter 153: Plans
Lord Qingyun snatched it up, and then quickly opened the brocade box-
When they saw the objects in the brocade box, the two of them almost lost their breath!
The original shining night pearl has long been gone, replaced by a little fat pig half the size of a fist, made of glass, chubby, round, and very cute.
Lord of Qingyun: ......
Princess Qin: ......
Regardless of the messy and gnashing of teeth in the wind in the palace, after walking out of the gate of the Qin Palace, Lin Jue's whole body and mind were so comfortable that she couldn't do it, if it weren't for the presence of the ninth princess, she would have wanted to hum a little song.
In fact, this matter is not as complicated as Lord Qingyun thought, she just used the skill of dazzle, plus a stealing beam to change the pillar.
I don't know what Princess Qin's expression will be after seeing that glass pig? It is estimated to be "spectacular" very. Since she was unkind first, she can't be blamed for being unjust.
But it's a pity to think about it, just for this bit of, she wasted her glass pig in vain. If she is found out by the facial paralysis, the gift he gave her has become a prop to tease others, and she will definitely be in her ears for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Jue couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know what went wrong, such a good young man turned crooked and became a verbose ghost!
All the way to the smoke and dust, Nangong Yi was riding a horse on the way to Huzhou, suddenly, he inexplicably felt a cold back, hot ears, and then his hand shook, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground!
Nangong Yi: ......
Liu Man, who followed closely, saw that someone in front of him looked confused, and then looked at the ground, and was immediately dumbfounded, unbelievable: This horse whip can break free from the hands of the "God of Killing", isn't it a jing?

When she arrived at the Lin Mansion, the old lady saw that Lin Jue came back safe and sound, not even missing a single hair, and the surprise on her face flashed.
In the face of this kind of elders who were biased to Nantianmen, Lin Jue didn't bother to pay much attention. went back to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. Que'er was cleaning up the house, and when she saw Lin Jue coming back, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked. "Girl, King Qin's Mansion didn't embarrass you, did it?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Girl, you don't know, today you go out with the old lady's front foot, and the back foot is spread all over the yard...... Everybody says ......". The thrush came in from outside the door, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Jue as he spoke, and then finished his words in a low voice, "Everyone said that the third young master offended the Qin Wangfu this time, but the old lady took you because she wanted the girl to take the ...... on your behalf."
"Who said this, pure nonsense!"
Lin Jue said nonchalantly while letting the thrush change her clothes.
That's right. However, it is only half right. The people of the Qin Palace, not only want her to be so simple, judging from today's events, what they want is Lin Qiong's future and the funeral of the entire Lin family.
"Girl, what's being said outside...... And ......", at this point, the thrush paused, pretending to be mysterious. "Moreover, the person who fought with the third young master at the entrance of Dongjiekou last time, guess who it is?"
"Who is it?"
"It is Li Xi, the brother of Li Dong, the great steward of the Qin Palace, and the two brothers rely on the power of the King of Qin. He has always done evil in Beijing, and this time, even if he beat the third young master so badly, he only spent a day in prison......
Does the beard have anything to do with the Qin Palace?
No wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out that the master he was referring to that day was King Qin.
For this legendary Chinese martial arts King of Qin, Lin Jue has never seen it. However, judging from the table of the lady in the palace of King Qin, it is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Today in the Qin Palace, the county lord of Qingyun and the princess of Qin not only did not get cheap, but were taken by her army. Lin Jue didn't think that these two people would stop just like that, once Liang Zi was knotted, he couldn't stop without breaking the blood flow without touching his head.
However, where will these two people do it next?
After a few days, Lin Jue did not wait for the revenge of the county lord of Qingyun, but waited for the ninth princess.
Lin Er...... You see the weather outside is clear, the wind is smooth, let's go out for a walk, shall we? Before Ah Jiu arrived, the voice rushed in like a gust of wind.
Lin Jue was leaning on the soft couch to read, hearing her say this, he turned his head to look out of the window in the smoke and rain, and was instantly tired.
The weather is clear, and the wind is smooth?
Earnest?
"Lin Er, why don't you go out for a walk......?"
Seeing that Lin Jue was not only unmoved, but looked at her with a neurotic look, Ah Jiu was a little weak-hearted, and immediately took a more deadly "offensive". While shaking Lin Jue's hand, he prayed in a coquettish tone, making it difficult to say whether he wanted to agree or not.
"It's raining, where are you going?"
Annoyed by her, Lin Jue squeezed out a sentence.
Since knowing that Lin Qiong had rejected the marriage of the county lord of Qingyun, Ah Jiu's whole person seemed to have come back to life, not only did the smile on his face increase, but also the words increased, and he seemed to have regained his original heartless appearance.
"I've heard people say that the Qingfeng Guan outside the Xizhi Gate has a special magic ......," Ah Jiu said, pausing a little embarrassedly, "Why don't we go there for a walk?" ”
"It's that broken Taoist temple, it's dilapidated, it's unknown whether there is anyone living there, where did you hear that it works very well?"
Lin Jue blurted out.
The Lin family has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing outside Xizhimen, and she lived there for a while the year before last, so Lin Jue is very familiar with the only Taoist temple nearby, Qingfeng Temple.
It was a dilapidated house, very early on, there was an old Taoist priest living in it, and now I don't know if the old Taoist priest is still there, anyway, most of the people who are usually in a hurry spend the night there. Such a Taoist temple, now this person actually said that asking for a sign is very effective, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open?
Faced with Lin Jue's dislike, Ah Jiu unexpectedly remained silent.
Feeling that something was wrong, Lin Jue looked up, but saw someone with a rare look of shame.
With an instant pat on the head, she suddenly understood the crux of the problem.
The Lin family has a Zhuangzi outside Xizhi Gate, and the old lady just sent Lin Qiong to the Zhuangzi under the pretext of recuperating some time ago. This guy wants to see Lin Qiong, right?
"Are you really going?"
Lin Jue looked up at the window.
The autumn rain is continuous, and the water vapor is thick. Although it is not too far outside the Xizhi Gate, if you go now, you will have to spend at least the night there.
"Hmm."
Ah Jiu nodded.
"Then let's go......," Lin Jue sighed. Even if Lin Qiong refuses to marry, she still thinks that his purpose is not pure, could it be another plan?

At the strong request of the Ninth Princess, Lin Jue went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing on the grounds of distraction, accompanied by Qinghe, and the Ninth Princess, who was said to have finally gotten the permission of Emperor Zhaoyang to leave the palace.
"Are you really licensed?"
Lin Jue still didn't believe it.
A dignified princess, how can it be so easy to get out of the palace.
"It's true, my father has been a little absent-minded recently, and he doesn't care about my whereabouts......" Ah Jiu disagreed.
Seeing Ah Jiu say this, Lin Jue didn't bother to bother anymore, anyway, with her temperament, even if Lin Jue didn't let her go, she would find a way to go. Compared with letting her poke out a bigger basket, it is better for Lin Jue to accompany her.
From Lin Mansion to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, it takes half a day to travel by carriage, and by the time Lin Jue and the others arrived, it was already evening.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, the ninth princess couldn't even bother to hold an umbrella, so she rushed to the front, and when she reached the door of Zhuangzi, she stopped again.
Seeing this, Lin Jue, who was following behind, looked helpless, walked up to her, touched her with his elbow, and said with a smile, "What are you doing stunned?" Gone ......."
"Lin Er, do you think I'm going to be too bright today?"
"No, it won't."
"Will I be pale?"
"No, it won't."
"I just got drenched in the rain, will it be ugly?"
Lin Jue: ......
It's okay for her to answer, but can you not hold her hand so tightly? If you hold it like this again, you will probably get bruised.
"Ugly?"
Seeing that Lin Jue looked at her and didn't speak, Ah Jiu looked nervous.
"No, you're holding it too tightly......"
"Second sister?"
The two were playing when suddenly a familiar voice came.
Lin Qiong was dressed in a light white robe with dark flowers, standing under the eaves with his hands in his hands, the courtyard was misty and rainy, and the water vapor was thick, but it was even more lined with his face like a crown of jade and his body like a bamboo.
Looking at it like this, he has lost the sleek air he had before, to be honest, such Lin Qiong, at first glance, still makes people feel very good.
When Lin Jue turned around, he found that Ah Jiu beside him was just staring at him stupidly, and he didn't know when he was already in tears.

In the octagonal exquisite pavilion in the back garden of King Qin's mansion, several maids are elegantly cooking tea with charcoal, and Princess Qin is sitting in it, lazily looking at the fragrance of tea that continues to overflow on the opposite side, looking absent-minded.
Suddenly, a man in a blue-gray robe hurriedly walked up the stone steps, saw Princess Qin, bowed down from a distance, "Madam, are you looking for me?" ”
"I heard that your brother beat up the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy some time ago, but is there such a thing?"
Princess Qin took the maidservant and handed over the freshly cooked white tea, looked up at the visitor, and asked casually.
"The princess is angry, this brother of the slave has always been reckless and acts without thinking, but this time, the slave thinks that he is right."
Li Dong, the housekeeper of the Qin Palace, bowed his head, but his eyes emitted a strange light.
Experience told him that Princess Qin called him here today, not to question his brother Li Xi's beating.
Although Li Dong and Li Xi are brothers, their temperament and appearance are very different, one is gentle as jade, the other is five big and three coarse, one is good at scheming, and the other is reckless and brainless. And this Li Dong's origin is even more extraordinary. Ten years ago, he was a showman, but because of the death of his mother, he returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, and then returned to Yuejing, neither did he take the imperial examination again, nor did he seek a job again, but entered the Qin Palace, and became a housekeeper. Everyone in the world said it was a pity, but he had his own plans.
Sure enough, after hearing his answer, Princess Qin continued, "What do you think of Lord Yunshu?" When Lin Jue was mentioned, her eyebrows jumped faintly. (To be continued.) )
