Chapter 139: Against the will
Xiao Yuan knew that his imperial uncle was unhappy, so he quickly found an excuse to come out.
Recently, there has been an uproar in the government because of the military rations, and there have been frequent mountain bandits in Ruiping, and Zhao Suqin also knew that his son was busy with government affairs, so he also let him leave.
As soon as Xiao Yuan walked out of Ning'an Palace, he saw Chu Yi standing at the gate of the palace, and when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Chu Yi turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is waiting for you in the imperial library." β
Xiao Yuan smiled and shook his head, it seemed that Uncle Huang had guessed that he would definitely chase him out.
When he arrived at the imperial library, Chu Luo was indeed already inside, and the tea on the table in front of him was boiling...
Xiao Yuan walked in, Chu Luo was standing up, but the former raised his hand: "Now that there are no outsiders here, Uncle Huang doesn't have to care about these foreign gifts.....
As he spoke, he sat down across from him, and Chu Luo lifted the teapot and poured seven points into the teacup in front of him.
Xiao Yuan sighed: "Actually, Uncle Huang, it's really not me talking about you, if you really don't want to marry that Loulan princess, I will follow her when the queen mother called you into the palace yesterday and ......"
Zhao Deqiu is also Zhao Shuqin's cousin, he looks so impartial and does not talk about any feelings, the queen mother is naturally uncomfortable, and Zhao Deqiu is dismissed, even if he is dismissed, he also moves his whole body and changes the blood of the entire criminal department, so that the Zhao family has been kicked by him all these years....
With the nature of the queen mother, how could she give up, even if other places couldn't move him, she would do her best to make him feel better, look, she suddenly made such a will today......
Chu Luo put down the kettle.
"Your Majesty, the minister will not marry Princess Loulan....." he said.
Xiao Yuan nodded: "I guessed, but... What is Uncle Huang going to do? β
Chu Luo didn't answer and asked, "How does the emperor plan to help?" β
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "When did I say I wanted to help?" It's my queen mother who gave you a marriage, and I don't want to be invited to tea by my mother..."
Then he picked up his tea and drank it, with an expression of 'I'm not going to wade this muddy water between the two of you'.
Chu Luo reached out and picked up a box placed on his side and pushed it towards Xiao Yuan.
"If the emperor helps the minister this time, the minister will give the emperor a big gift..."
Gift?
He, the imperial uncle, never gives gifts easily, once he wants to give it, the gift feels unexpected, and he is suddenly a little curious about the box in front of him.
As soon as his hand reached over, Chu Luo held it down.
"Your Majesty, but you promised the minister?"
Xiao Yuan blinked: "Uncle Huang, I haven't seen it yet....."
"In addition to helping the minister withdraw from his marriage with Loulan, the minister actually wants to ask the emperor for something."
"What?"
"Decree of marriage."
"Huh? And with whom? β
"The name is empty, let the minister fill it in...."
Xiao Yuan: "......."
He pursed his lips, a little embarrassed: "Uncle Huang, you are so unruly..."
Chu Luo took his hand away from the box.
"The emperor can read it first and then reply to the minister."
Xiao Yuan looked at him, and he was really more and more curious about what was in the box to make Uncle Huang open such conditions.
But when he opened the box and saw the contents clearly, his face was shocked, and then he took it out and looked at it, his face was slightly condensed: "Where did Uncle Huang get this thing?" β
Chu Luo said lightly: "This is what Zhao Deqiu has been looking for before, and what Gu Heng has hidden.....
Gu Heng? That is to say Zhao Deqiu.... No, it's Zhao Qingshan...
Xiao Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't expect the Zhao family's courage to be so big.....
When Chu Luo left the palace, the sky was already dark, the clouds were shining, layer upon layer, and the afterglow of the setting sun was trying to dissipate the last bit of light....
At the gate of the palace, Nazai leaned on a four-horse-drawn carriage, his eyes skimmed to the palace gate from time to time, and after a while, Yana hurriedly ran over.
"Gong.... Princess... It's coming, it's coming.," she cried out of breath.
Nazai was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly jumped out of the car, then felt that his clothes were uneven, and straightened his dress.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chu Luo to ride a horse and slowly come out of it.
Nazai ran forward.
"Lord Wang...," she shouted.
Chu Luo pulled the reins, the horse stopped, and he lowered his eyes: "What is the matter with the princess?" β
The face is cold, the tone is detached... No, even distance is alienation.....
But he and the old bustard .....
Thinking of the scene she had inadvertently seen in her previous pleasure hunting, Nazay's expression of some joy when she saw her suddenly dissipated, followed by a wave of jealousy, and she clenched her fists......
Staying here and waiting for him, I originally wanted to apologize to him, because I didn't know that the Queen Mother would suddenly give him marriage, and wanted to say that I wouldn't cause trouble to him, and find a chance to talk to the Queen Mother, but looking at him with an expression that seemed to be a stranger, and she didn't even get off the horse, her eyes were red, and she actually changed it to: "Since this princess is now your fiancΓ©e, then you are not allowed to go to those places where the fence is ticked....."
Chu Luo's deep eyes narrowed slightly, Nazai knew that he was a little displeased, but as soon as she thought that his attitude towards her was so different from that old bustard, the anger in her heart kept rushing upward, she had liked him for so many years, what was that old bustard.... Why can she get his kind face, but she can only speak coldly?
With an angry look on her face, she pointed her finger at him and said something against her will.
"Chu Luo, now it is the marriage referred to by the Queen Mother, whether you want to or not, you have to marry me, is it difficult, do you still want to disobey the Queen Mother's decree?" Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Chu Luo's face sank directly, and he said coldly: "The princess thinks it is, then that's it..."
After speaking, he stopped looking at Nazai, kicked the horse in the stomach directly, and rode away.
Yana stepped forward a little helplessly.
"Princess, you obviously ...... I didn't mean to say that I had waited here for so long........"
Nazai lowered his head as he watched the disappearing figure, yes... obviously doesn't want to give him a bad image of the brutality, obviously wants to say that he will explain to the queen mother, and wants him to think that she is empathetic, why ........
Chu Luo returned to the Nameless Pavilion, and as soon as she approached the door of the house, she smelled a strong smell of wine, and her feet were slammed, why did she drink again?
As soon as I entered, sure enough, I saw that the table was full of celadons, and I went up and picked it up and shook it, frowning, and it was all empty.
Walking to the back room, I first saw Mo Qing sitting on the side couch, her eyes were a little confused, her cheeks were slightly red, it seemed that she had drunk a lot, she was pricking herself with needles to relieve hangover, after seeing Chu Luo, she seemed to be relieved, and said, "It's good if you come....."
Then he pulled out the needle on Guan Chong's acupoint with his hand, stood up with his hand and walked to the edge of the bed, kicked Jiang Yao who was lying there, and said, "The prince is here, let's go....."
Jiang Yao opened her eyes faintly: "Huh? Is it dawn? β
Mo Qing said helplessly: "Yes, so get up...."
Chu Luo swept around, didn't see Gu Xiaoman, and said, "What about Boss Gu?" β
Mo Qing burped, then frowned, and quickly took out a needle to prick the Guan Chong acupoint, and then said: "That drunkard, I still don't think it's enough to drink those on the table, and I said that I want to go to the back hall to find celadon, Bai Qi is chasing after it....."
I wanted to get her drunk and talk to her, but the two of them drank too much first, rubbed their temples, although the amount of alcohol that guy was not as good as it was back then, it was more than enough compared to the two of them, look, she couldn't walk at all, Jiang Yao drank directly, but the woman still jumped directly to the back hall to find wine again........
Chu Luo immediately turned around and went out to the back hall, passed the flower garden, and as soon as his front foot entered the moon gate and stepped in, a figure crashed into his arms, who is it not Gu Xiaoman?
She was holding two bottles of celadon in her hand, and when she saw Chu Luo, her eyes lit up with a sparkling smile: "Brother Luo, you're here...."
Chu Luo raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he was not lightly drunk.....
Bai Qi, who caught up, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and arched his hand to Chu Luo and said, "Lord Wang, you came just in time, the girl just came to say, there are some urgent matters to deal with in the front yard, Boss Gu will hand it over to you first,.....
Chu Luo nodded, and she left.
Chu Luo bent over to pick up Gu Xiaoman, but Gu Xiaoman did take a step back.
"I don't want you to hug me, I want to ....." She suddenly got behind him, and then jumped up: "You carry my ....."
Chu Luo was rushed forward by her, and said a little helplessly: "Then do you want to give the celadon to Chu Yi first?" β
"No, no, my own wine, I want to take it myself....." she muttered.
Chu Luo shook his head, he had to let him carry her up, and just took a step with his feet, he suddenly glanced at a certain place coldly: "Who?" β
The figure over there flashed by, and Chu Yi had already quickly chased after him....
Along the way, Chu Luo walked very slowly with Gu Xiaoman on his back, and he looked around vigilantly, because except for the person just now, he vaguely felt that there was someone who had been following him, but that person was suddenly near and far, and he didn't seem to want to show up.
And Chu Luo was carrying Gu Xiaoman on his back, if he really did it at this time, he would inevitably hurt her, so he could only walk slowly all the way, vigilant against all the wind and grass around him.
And Gu Xiaoman on his back had long been drowsy by him like this....
When I returned to the Nameless Courtyard, I saw a black figure standing inside, a figure covered in a black cloak.
His steps paused, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly.
The man turned around, and the only mouth he could see was slightly curved: "Chu Luo, long time no see....."
Chu Luo said expressionlessly: "If it's really you, Hera Sixiu...."
