Chapter 225: The Southern Tour
Si Chen's matter came to an end, and in the evening, Si Du came back from outside, and the elegy waited for an afternoon, and finally waited for the person to come back, and asked eagerly: "How about Lu Han and how did he react when he read the letter?"
There was a moment of unnaturalness on Si Dui's face, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in Elegy's heart, she frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that he was really angry because of yesterday's incident, so"
"No, princess." Si Du hurriedly retorted, "King Fulu didn't say anything to his subordinates, it should be said that his subordinates didn't see King Fulu today. ”
"He doesn't even want to see me" Elegy pursed his lips, a little lost.
"The princess is too careful, King Fulu went to the military camp and never came back, and his subordinates were afraid that there would be too many people, so they didn't go, and directly handed over the letter to the housekeeper of the palace."
As soon as she heard the elegy, she immediately felt relieved, and she patted her chest, "So that's the case, it scared me to death." ”
Seeing this, Si Duan smiled faintly, "The princess is now more and more concerned about King Fulu." ”
"Eh, is there any" Elegy flicked her fingers awkwardly, was she so obvious
"The princess and King Fulu haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they haven't had a good chat with the court today, thinking is natural, and the princess doesn't need to mind." Si Du stepped forward and gathered his clothes for Elegy, "It's cold, please pay more attention to your body." ”
"Oh, thank you." Elegy suddenly realizes that Twilight feels like a big sister.
Elegy was full of hope, thinking that Luo Yanchuan would come over tonight, but after waiting all night, he didn't wait.
Du Fu
Binh Ninh lived in the most modest house, lit by kerosene lamps. Gaze at the envelope in your hand.
I don't know how long it took, with a chuckle and a hint of fierceness in her eyes, she placed the envelope on the wick of the kerosene lamp, and soon, the paper was ignited, and she left the envelope in the brazier, and watched the letter burn to ashes.
The next day, Elegy went to the court with dark circles under her eyes, and Luo Yanchuan met with her. It's also turning a blind eye. It seems that he is still angry because of yesterday's events.
In the court, Elegy always glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally to observe Luo Yanchuan's reaction.
The emperor is not blind, and he frequently looks behind him when he looks at the elegy in the palace. It's even more arrogant than before, and he really can't see it. Said loudly: "Zhen Ning." Do you have something to start?"
"Hey, Your Majesty, the retainers are fine." Elegy hurriedly retracted his neck. Luo Jia, who was standing on her left, saw it, smiled meaningfully, he took a step forward, bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the retainer has something to play." ”
The emperor half-leaned on the dragon chair and said lightly: "What is the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Southern Canal is imminent, although the spring drought has come to an end, but it is still a symptom but not a cure, and the retainer plans to supervise the construction of the canal, and inspect by the way"
Before Luo Jia finished speaking, the emperor interrupted him, "Don't worry about this matter first, I have my own plans." ”
"Yes." Luo Jia retreated, his face was indifferent and calm, and he didn't mind the emperor's cold reaction, but at this moment, the emperor looked at the elegy and asked, "Zhen Ning, what do you have to say about the construction of the canal?"
Elegy was still in a fugue, and she didn't hear the emperor's question, so naturally she didn't answer, and after a while, the other courtiers also raised their heads to look at her, thinking about why they didn't reply.
"Zhen Ning" The emperor frowned and shouted again, this time, his voice was deliberately raised, and the elegy was finally heard, she raised her head in confusion, and it was not clear what the situation was now.
Luo Jia, who was on the side, laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, according to Erchen, Zhen Ning hasn't woken up yet." ”
"There shall be no noise above the main hall." The emperor glanced at Luo Jia lightly, and Luo Jia's face froze, but soon returned to his normal expression.
The Emperor looked at the elegy again and repeated, "I ask you what you have to say about the Southern Canal."
Elegy was stunned for a moment, quickly collected relevant information in his mind, and said his opinion after organizing the language, the emperor listened, and his slightly serious face just now softened, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I also have this intention, the emperor has really worked hard recently." ”
Elegy arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation." ”
After the next dynasty, Elegy wanted to find Luo Yanchuan, but who knows, but was stopped by Luo Jia, he walked to Elegy's side, like an ordinary brother, and said: "Zhen Ning has become more mature and stable in recent years, and now he can help his father and the emperor solve problems, and my brother is very pleased." ”
Elegy didn't know how much truth he meant in his words, he was polite to her, and Elegy was naturally polite to him, "Lone is also learning and selling now, not as far-sighted as the prince, sharing worries and solving problems for his father, or relying on the prince." ”
"Hehe, Zhen Ning is getting better and better at talking."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and by the time the elegy was gone, except for the Taiji Palace, Luo Yanchuan had long since disappeared.
She was a little disappointed, thinking to herself that she really went too far yesterday, so she made him angry, otherwise why would she turn a blind eye to her when she went to the morning court today, or said that yesterday's letter was written too simply and seemed insincere
Elegy was thinking nonsense on the side, but she didn't know that Ning Yuanxing was waiting for her in front of her.
Because she was thinking too much, she passed directly past Ning Yuanxing, and Ning Yuanxing's voice sounded behind her, "What did the princess think so engrossed that she didn't even see anyone on the side, or did she just can't see Weichen"
"Hey, why are you there" Elegy heard the voice, turned around, and saw Ning Yuanxing looking at her.
Ning Yuanxing sighed, walked over, and asked, "The minister is here to wait for the princess."
"Why are you waiting for me" Elegy took a step back vigilantly, Ning Yuanxing frowned when he saw her like this, chuckled, and quipped: "Is the princess so jealous of her ministers as a flood beast?"
"Hehe, when the flood beast sees the prime minister, he will probably take a detour." Elegy sneered, and she didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so she asked directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Didn't the princess hear that" Ning Yuanxing frowned when he heard this.
"Do I need to hear anything" Elegy wondered, not knowing what Ning Yuanxing meant by this.
Ning Yuanxing sighed, shook his head and looked at her, and said with a smile: "Princess, in the court, His Majesty asked you and me to go to the Taiji Hall in the back of the court, you didn't hear it."
"There is such a thing" Elegy remembered that she was facing the top today, the first half of the time was spent thinking about Luo Yanchuan, and the second half was basically spent in a daze, as for what the emperor said, she really didn't listen carefully.
Ning Yuanxing noticed her strangeness early this morning, and he said lightly: "Did you have something to do with King Fulu, and I didn't pay much attention to it today." ”
Elegy was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and said coldly: "What happened to Lone and King Fulu has nothing to do with the prime minister." ”
Maybe it was because he had waited here for so long, but he got such a result, which made Ning Yuanxing unhappy, his smile deepened, and he said, "Heh, the princess uses such an attitude to her future husband."
Elegy was still in conflict with Luo Yanchuan, but now when she heard Ning Yuanxing say this, she was emotionally repulsed, she sneered, her attitude was not good, and she even had thorns everywhere in her words, and said: "Don't talk so full of words, whether you can become a lonely husband or not, it is still unknown, Prime Minister, it is better to daydream less." ”
Ning Yuanxing's eyes lit up, "The princess is still so funny." ”
"The prime minister is also as humorous as ever." The two of them didn't give in to each other, and their eyes almost sparked in mid-air.
After a long time, Ning Yuanxing was the first to lose, or rather, he was too lazy to make such a meaningless look at her again, and his handsome face looked a little helpless at the moment.
The two went to the Taiji Palace, and the emperor looked at the two people in the Han realm of the Chu River, sighed, and said, "Are you two so far apart?"
Elegy pursed her lips, not impressed, she arched her hand to the emperor, and said: "Father and emperor are looking for his sons, but I don't know what is going on."
The emperor stroked his beard and smiled faintly. Elegy and Ning Yuanxing suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the emperor told the matter of Luo Jia's southern tour proposed by the court today, and he planned to let Luo Jia go to the inspection, but he intended to let Elegy and Ning Yuanxing go.
But how could Elegy agree, she frowned, and said to the emperor: "Father, the southern tour can be done by one minister, so you don't have to bother the prime minister." ”
The emperor looked cunning and cunning, and he was kind and seductive, "You are still young, and you will encounter a lot of difficulties on the way to the south, if you have the prime minister by your side, you can save a lot of trouble." ”
"Isn't it better to train people to face difficulties, Erchen doesn't want to become a person who relies on others for everything in the future." Elegy still refused, if Luo Yanchuan knew that she and Ning Yuanxing were touring south, it would probably be crazy.
Now that they were already in the midst of the "Cold War", Elegy did not want this to deepen the estrangement between them.
But she didn't know that this was exactly what the emperor intended.
"Zhen Ning, as a monarch, does not have to do everything personally, knowing people and making good use of them is also the quality that a monarch should have."
"But" Elegy tried to argue with reason, but the emperor blocked her next words with his eyes. She also vaguely sensed the emperor's purpose, and wanted to let the emperor answer on the surface, but she was afraid that it would not be easy.
Anyway, it's a big deal that she pretends to be sick and fools around, and the elegy begins to give up on herself.
"What about the prime minister's wishes" The emperor began to ask Ning Yuanxing's opinion again, but this is just a routine, and the emperor's intentions are not known to anyone present, and Ning Yuanxing will naturally not go against the emperor.
"As long as the princess doesn't mind."
I don't mind if it's good or not, but on the surface, she just snorted coldly and didn't point a finger at Ning Yuanxing's decision.
The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Very good, during the southern tour, you can also enhance your friendship, after all, after autumn, you will get married, how can the two of them have not developed substantially?"
The expression of the elegy is not very gloomy, but it is definitely not happy, as soon as this matter is decided, the elegy left after saluting, and when Ning Yuanxing came out, the elegy was long gone. To be continued
