Cicada Moon Palace.

In the courtyard, Bai Ling was sitting at a stone table, holding a flower in his hand, and was boredly breaking the petals on it.

Pink petals, falling one by one.

Some of them fell on the hem of her pink skirt, blending in with her skirt, as if they were pink flowers embroidered on it.

Xia Chan held the sword and stood silently under the eaves, looking at her in a daze, but her eyes were not focused, and her thoughts didn't know where she had flown to.

When footsteps rang out at the door.

The two of them came back to their senses and looked at each other together.

A young man in a wide robe walked in with a graceful demeanor.

The delicate and handsome face and long body were like a ray of sunshine, sprinkled in the originally calm and boring pupils of the two, causing ripples in circles.

Bai Ling's eyes lit up, he stood up, smiled, showed two sweet dimples on his face, and said crisply: "Uncle, did you come to say hello to Miss so early?" ”

Pearls stood outside and didn't dare to come in.

This Cicada Moon Palace, not everyone can enter.

Luo Qingzhou said directly: "Bailing, just now the eldest princess sent someone to the mansion and let me go over." ”

"Eldest princess?"

Bai Ling frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What did the eldest princess ask you to do?" ”

Luo Qingzhou shrugged: "I don't know either, but the second miss is there." ”

Bai Ling said "oh" and said strangely: "What is that uncle doing here?" Hurry up. ”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the girl under the eaves, then looked at her and said, "The eldest princess is a woman, can I go to see her alone?" ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unintelligible.

Luo Qingzhou looked serious: "As a son-in-law, if I want to go out to see other women, shouldn't the eldest lady send someone to supervise me?" ”

Bailing: "......"

She finally reacted, turned her head, looked at the girl under the eaves, and couldn't help but smile: "Chanchan, this is the first time my uncle has invited you to go out together." Go and supervise your uncle, don't let him mess with flowers and grass outside, I'll just watch the young lady at home. ”

Xia Chan stood under the eaves with her sword in her arms, with a cold face, motionless.

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to walk over and say, "Miss Xia Chan, you are paid." You go with me once and give you a string of sugar gourds. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a string of sugar gourds from his back and handed them to her.

When Bai Ling saw it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over and said, "Uncle! Uncle! I'll go with you! I'll oversee you! Let Chanchan watch Miss at home! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sugar gourd in Luo Qingzhou's hand was suddenly snatched away.

Xia Chan held a sword in one hand and a sugar gourd in the other, walked out of the eaves and walked coldly towards the door.

"Uncle......"

Bai Ling pouted, looking pitiful.

Luo Qingzhou said: "It's gone, there's only one string left." ”

Saying this, he glanced at the cold girl who was walking towards the door, and immediately took out another string, secretly stuffed it into her hand, and reached out to pull her pink face, Fang was serious, and walked away quickly.

Bai Ling held the sugar gourd in one hand and touched the face of being pulled in the other, stunned in place.

It wasn't until both of them walked out of the door that she stomped her feet and muttered, "Stinky aunt, take advantage of others again!" Dislike! ”

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes happily and began to eat the sugar gourd.

Zhu'er was anxious and led the way in front of her.

Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan to follow behind.

When he arrived in the hall, a girl in a goose yellow dress stood up from the chair, looked at him curiously, and said with a smile: "This is Luo Gongzi." The little woman Moon Dance is the maid next to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess wants to invite Luo Gongzi to go, I wonder if it is convenient for Luo Gongzi? ”

Luo Qingzhou arched his hand and said: "Moon Dance girl, I don't know why the eldest princess is looking for her?" ”

Yue Wu said with a smile: "If Young Master Luo goes, he will naturally know." ”

Song Ruyue, who was accompanying the guest, stood up and said, "Qingzhou, go quickly, Weimo is still there." If the eldest princess has something to order, if you can do it, you must do your best to help do it well and satisfy the eldest princess. ”

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Yes, mother-in-law." ”

Yue Wu smiled and said goodbye, "Mrs. Qin, then we'll go first." ”

The group went out of the house.

At the gate, there was already a carriage waiting.

Moon Dance smiled: "Young Master Luo, please first." ”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at Xia Chan behind him, didn't shirk anymore, and got into the carriage directly.

Xia Chan definitely can't get into the carriage.

There are some rules that must be followed outside.

Moon Dance also got into the carriage.

The two sat in the carriage, both looking at each other.

Xia Chan and Zhu'er followed the carriage.

Followed by the guards.

On the streets of the city, horse-drawn carriages can only walk slowly, not gallop.

"I heard Miss Qin Er say that Master Luo is a talent and is preparing for next year's autumn exam. Miss Qin Er is known as the first talented woman in Mocheng, and even the eldest princess praised those poems. Presumably Luo Gongzi's talent is also excellent, right? ”

Moon Dance said with a smile.

Luo Qingzhou said modestly: "How can I compare with Miss Qin Er." In the next one, he is a dead reader, who can only memorize some articles, do some book topics, and have any talent. ”

Moon Dance smiled slightly: "Young Master Luo, the little woman is a person who loves poetry very much. After following the eldest princess to Metroville this time, I heard several poems, all of which were amazing. One of them, "Water Tune Song Head", is more like a work of poets and immortals. There is also a song "Yongmei", which impressed the little woman very much. However, the little woman took a lot of trouble to find someone to inquire, but she did not know who the author of these two works was. However, the song "Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before" seems to have come from the Qin Mansion, could it be that it is also the work of Miss Qin Er? ”

Luo Qingzhou's face was calm: "I'm sorry, Moon Dance Girl, I read at home every day, rarely go out, and I'm not good at poetry, so I don't pay attention to these either." ”

Moon Dance looked at him with a smile and didn't say anything more.

Luo Qingzhou turned his head, lifted the curtain next to him, looked at the girl outside and said, "Are you tired?" ”

Zhu'er raised her head and smiled: "Uncle, the slave is not tired." ”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "I'm asking Miss Xia Chan." ”

Pearl: "......"

Xia Chan looked straight ahead, with a cold face, ignoring him.

Luo Qingzhou lowered the curtain and turned his head, his eyes met the eyes of the girl opposite.

Neither spoke again.

The carriage soon reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

At the gate, there were many more soldiers wearing silver armor and holding silver guns.

Luo Qingzhou could clearly feel the strong murderous aura emanating from these soldiers, obviously they were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield and stained with blood.

Moon Dance is a slender figure and leads the way in front.

When they walked to the gate of the palace, the guards reached out and stopped Xia Chan and Zhu'er behind them.

Luo Qingzhou turned his head to look at the two girls and said, "You guys are waiting here." ”

Pearls honestly walked to the side and stood respectfully.

Xia Chan still followed behind him, with a cold face, and the sword was clenched in her hand.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, had to turn around and walk in front of her, suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to her ear and said, "Good, wait outside, and when my uncle comes out later, I will bring you sugar gourds to eat." ”

Xia Chan was stunned for a moment, her eyes stared at his close cheeks, her nose smelled the familiar breath on his body, and her heart felt the tenderness in his tone, and her expression was slightly trance-like.

There was a pause.

She clenched the sword in her hand, turned away, away from the guards and Zhu'er, and stood alone under the big tree not far away, looking at him, and the pretty cheeks were still as cold as ice.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and followed Moon Dance into the house.

Stepping on a soft blanket, he passed through the gates guarded by several female guards, and turned into a lavishly decorated corridor.

After passing through the corridor, Fang entered a large hall.

To the right of the main hall is a study.

At the door stood two maids in goose yellow dresses, and when they saw him coming, their eyes looked at him.

Yue Wu walked to the door, bowed his head to the inside, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Young Master Luo is here." ”

After a while.

A faint female voice came from inside the room: "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

Moon Dance glanced at the young man behind her, motioned for him to follow, and then walked in first.

Luo Qingzhou followed behind her, stepped on the red blanket, and entered the room.

Immediately, he stopped in front of a beaded curtain.

Yue Wu lowered her head, retreated to the side, and said softly, "Young Master Luo, just stand here and reply." ”

Luo Qingzhou bowed his head.

In front of the long table in the room, Nangong Huoyue, wearing a long fiery red dress, was kneeling there, holding a wolf hair, writing.

Miss Qin Er, who was dressed in a plain white dress, knelt next to her and lightly studied the ink for her.

Another moment passed.

Nangong Huoyue Fang opened his mouth while writing: "Gongzi Luo is a scholar, this palace has a few words I want to ask Gongzi, I hope Gongzi can answer." ”

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Highness, please ask." ”

Nangong Huoyue said: "[The gentleman walks in his position, and he doesn't want to care about it], does Luo Gongzi think that this sentence in "The Mean" makes sense? ”

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and replied: "The gentleman is happy to know his fate, be content with the position he is in at the moment, act in moderation, advance and retreat without losing his way, do not envy everything outside his duty, and do not think about things outside his duty." In my opinion, this sentence should be judged by the situation. For some, it makes sense, but for others, it's too rigid and pedantic to be followed. ”

"Oh?"

Nangong Huoyue put down the pen in his hand, turned his head to look at him and said, "Explain." ”

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "For some adults in official positions, this sentence can allow them to keep to themselves, devote themselves to the public and the people, do not seek benefits for themselves, do not cheat, and do not only think about getting promoted and making a fortune, and do their duty well." But for those soldiers or students, and those who still have a lot of room for improvement, this sentence will hinder their progress and wear down their ambitions. Just like a soldier, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, because only when a soldier has the dream of becoming a general can he be more enthusiastic, more idealistic, more self-motivated, more courageous, and can fight the enemy regardless of everything. If all the soldiers keep to themselves, get by, and just want to be a small soldier for the rest of their lives, just do their own things well, then it is impossible for this army to have combat effectiveness, let alone win battles all the time. ”

With that, there was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while.

Nangong Huoyue Fang opened his mouth and said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier...... Young Master Luo, that's a good point! ”

Miss Qin Er, who was studying ink next to her, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Then Luo Gongzi thinks that as the commander of the First Army, he should also have this kind of thought?" ”
