Chapter 197: Arrogant

"Here we are." Xiao Ling said lightly.

Su Lan lowered his head slightly, avoided her gaze, and sat straight to the side that was far away from Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling looked at Su Lan who was so far away from her, and couldn't help frowning, she wanted to stand up and walk to Su Lan's side and sit down, but she felt that this seemed to be very naΓ―ve, her ass was like sticking to the chair, and she couldn't move.

Xiao Ling and Su Lan were both silent, except for Xiao Ling who said a word at the beginning, and then there was silence, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

It didn't take long for the maids in the house to prepare all the dishes.

Su Lan looked at the big table full of dishes, and thought that he had made a mistake, but Dingqing took a look and found that he was indeed not wrong. Su Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised, none of the dishes on this table were meat dishes, all of them were vegetarian dishes? !

However, Su Lan didn't plan to ask, vegetarian dishes are vegetarian dishes, these vegetarian dishes look full of color and flavor at first glance, and they don't seem to be very delicious. Su Lan said secretly in his heart.

Xiao Ling saw Su Lan's surprise, his eyes gradually eased, since she didn't want to ask, then he opened his mouth. After all....... He is a man, and bowing his head in front of his own woman is nothing.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you can't eat meat dishes during the day, which is a tradition in the south for hundreds of years." Xiao Ling explained.

Su Lan just put a piece of tofu in his mouth, then stiffened, chewed it gently, and didn't answer, just hummed gently.

Xiao Ling didn't get a response from Su Lan, nor did he seem very decadent, chatting with Su Lan very normally, as if he didn't take last night's events to heart.

"Do you know why, on the first day of the new year in the south every year, you can only eat vegetarian dishes?" Xiao Ling took the initiative to ask.

Su Lan's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, why was Xiao Ling's attitude towards her so strange......... It's as if nothing happened yesterday.........

Su Lan didn't want to answer, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao Ling's bright eyes, which seemed to have a hint of expectation in them.

Su Lan opened his mouth involuntarily and asked, "Why?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Su Lan was a little annoyed, oops! Why did he ask?! Really!

Xiao Ling finally had a smile on his face, and patiently explained: "Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, the first emperor of the southern kingdom was building the southern kingdom, and it was very difficult at this time, and he almost couldn't afford to eat meat, and during the war, he ate almost all vegetarian dishes. Later, in order to commemorate the first Southern Emperor, we had such a tradition. ”

"Oh........" Su Lan nodded "very uninterested".

Although Su Lan's face was cold, Xiao Ling still keenly saw a trace of unnaturalness on Su Lan's face, and it seemed that Su Lan was still a little interested in his words.

Xiao Ling pretended not to see Su Lan's unnatural expression, and continued to chat with her with relish.

After experiencing a struggle last night, Xiao Ling finally decided on one thing - that is, he decided to attack Su Lan's heart step by step, right........ That's right......... He wanted to have Su Lan by his side.........

No matter what happens this time, even if he can't keep what he liked before, he has to try it this time, Xiao Ling is very sure, he must keep this person by his side!

So........ Xiao Ling made a plan for this, because if you want to win a person's heart, it can't be a mistake, you have to be tempted step by step, slowly guided, so that Su Lan gradually has his place in his heart - not as a friend, but as a husband........

....................................................................................................................

"Fourth Prince, what are you going out ....... today?" The envoy who followed Su Guo saw that Liu Zijin was dressed neatly, and ordered his entourage to bring a lot of gifts, and asked suspiciously.

"Can't you see? Of course you're going to visit someone?! Liu Zijin straightened his clothes, squinted his eyes and glanced at the envoy, smiled disdainfully, and there seemed to be a hint of threat in his eyes - you are just an envoy sent by the king's father, after all, you are just a subordinate, and you are in charge of the king's affairs?!

"Don't dare." The envoy took a step back as he spoke, bowing his head slightly.

Liu Zijin snorted coldly, packed up his clothes, and strode out of the post station - this post station is specially used by the royal family to receive foreign guests, although it is not in the palace, but there are guards guarding this post station.

Liu Zijin smiled with satisfaction, and the entourage behind him followed with exquisite gifts.

"Alas........ I think that if I trace the foundation of the country for a hundred years, it may be destroyed in the hands of the fourth prince........" After Liu Zijin left, the envoy looked at the chaotic post station, and couldn't help but sigh deeply and shook his head.

This four princes who traced back to the country were brought back from outside by their majesty, and said that they were the four princes who had been separated for many years. At that time, the ministers objected, and a person of unknown origin said that it was the four princes who traced back to the country, how can people believe this? However, because this fourth prince was brought back by His Majesty personally, no one dared to question it in person.

However, the four princes do look a little similar to His Majesty who traces back to the country, and some anti-princelings are very supportive of His Majesty's return to the ancestors of the "Four Princes", in their opinion, if there is one more prince in the court, the situation in the court will be turbulent, and the status of the prince will also be threatened.

Moreover....... This fourth prince seems to be very favored by His Majesty....... It's just that........ He didn't expect that since the fourth prince was not a fuel-efficient lamp........ When he first came to the southern country, his behavior was so high-profile, and he wanted to trace the country's century-old foundation, if he didn't control this person well, he would fall short........

The envoys were full of sorrows, but they did not know to whom to speak.

....................................................................................................................

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you have arrived at King Ling's Mansion."

A carriage stopped leisurely in front of King Ling's Mansion.

"Who's coming??" The guards in front of King Ling's Mansion looked at the carriage as if there was something coming from.

"The four princes of the country have come to visit His Royal Highness King Ling." Liu Zijin's warm voice came from inside the carriage.

"The Four Princes of the Kingdom?" The guard asked.

A guard walked down from the carriage, it was Liu Zijin who brought him from Suguo, he jumped down from the carriage, walked to the guards of the Naling Palace, and showed him something, which was to understand immediately.

"Wait for the villain to report." The guard nodded.

"Hmm." Liu Zijin was not in a hurry, sitting in the carriage, holding a delicate handkerchief in his hand, kneading/kneading gently.

This handkerchief is embroidered with a begonia flower, which looks like a woman's thing.

After a while, the guard ran back again, followed by the panting Steward Wang.

"I don't know how many rudeness and rudeness there are when the distinguished guests come." Steward Wang said apologetically.

At this time, Liu Zijin stepped out of the carriage.

As soon as Liu Zijin stepped down from the carriage, the eyes of the people around him were attracted by him - to be exact, attracted by the bewitching flower on his face, the flower on his face, although the area is not large, but inexplicably, as long as you see him, you will be attracted by the flower on his face.

Everyone shouted for a while, but they didn't expect that although the four princes of the country were gentle and elegant, they actually had a bewitching flower on their faces, which ....... This........ Everyone was amazed.

Liu Zijin didn't seem to see the surprised faces next to him, so he walked in front of the king very calmly, and asked gently, "Can this king go in?" ”

Liu Zijin smiled, and the bewitching flower on his face seemed to bloom, attracting people's eyes.

"Yes........ Steward Wang said in a trembling voice, making a gesture of "please": "Fourth prince, please ......... here"

Liu Zijin hooked his lips and smiled, and strode in, followed by a bunch of entourages holding exquisite gifts.

....................................................................................................................

"Your Highness........ The four princes of the country came over with things. ”

There are people from Xiao Ling's Tianyin Sect in the entire Ling Wang's Mansion, and there are some people with good skills and concealment skills among these people, these people are arranged by Xiao Ling in the Ling Wang's Mansion, as long as there is any trouble, these people will immediately report the news to Xiao Ling.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling put down the scroll in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he guessed dangerously: "The fourth prince of the country? What is he here for? ”

"It is said that I came to visit your Highness."

Xiao Ling snorted coldly and visited him?! Hum!
