Yin Ji glanced at Lu Zuo, then withdrew the foot hanging on Deng Zhuo's chest, snorted proudly, and obediently stood behind Lu Zuo.

"Xiao Yinji, it's really ......" Lu Renxiang was about to say that it was amazing, but he was stopped by Lu Zuo's eyes.

Then Lu Zuo stepped forward to help Deng Zhuo, who was full of anger, "General Deng, forgive me, I have heard that General Deng is extremely brave, and today I saw that it was true, if it wasn't for General Deng's carelessness just now, where would Yin Ji, a hairy boy, succeed!" ”

Deng Zhuo gritted his teeth and did not answer, but helplessly hugged his fists towards the crown prince Liu Yan and said: "Your Highness, your subordinates still have official business, if there is nothing else, your subordinates will retire first." ”

"Let's go down!" The prince's face was slightly ugly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and no one dared to speak first, even the footsteps of Deng Zhuo walking out of the corridor were extremely loud.

"Your Highness, what about the 'Zhan Lu Sword'?" Yin Ji couldn't help but break the silence for a moment first.

The prince made a straight face, and after a while, he pointed at Yin Ji and laughed: "Sure enough, he is a young hero!" Come, give me the sword! ”

When Yin Ji took the Zhan Lu sword from the old butler's hand, he couldn't help laughing, and couldn't wait to pull out the sword, but when he saw the cold light of the sword body flickering, the double blades were extremely sharp, and when the breeze blew through the blade, it seemed that he could hear the "whirring" sound of the sword cutting the wind and the blade.

Let's say that after the prince had eaten, he took Lu Zuo, Xu Bingde and others around the courtyard for half a circle to enjoy the flowers and scenery together. Seeing that the hour was almost up, two inner eunuchs came to spread the word and asked the prince, Lu Zuo and others to enter the palace to meet him. The prince went to change into a straight court robe, and ordered someone to wear a clean dress for Lu Zuo.

When the noon sun shines through the glazed tiles of Cining Palace, the golden light is more and more dazzling, the furnishings in the hall are antique, the wisps of sandalwood waft out of the curtain on the steps, and the maids on both sides are particularly fresh and pleasant.

There were already three people standing side by side in front of the steps of Cining Palace, the middle was Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan, and the left and right were the eldest son An Shiqing and the second son An Shilu.

The crown prince Liu Yan and Lu Zuo first greeted the queen's mother, and a cold "no courtesy" came from behind the curtain. Then the father and son of the An family also greeted the prince in unison.

After their respective salutes, the queen in the tent asked coldly: "Is Lu Zuoke from Shanzhou here?" ”

Lu Zuo bowed out of the ranks, but lowered his head, knowing that the curtains on the stage couldn't see the true face, so he didn't look up, but just said loudly: "The grass people are here!" ”

At this time, the maids on both sides lifted the curtains on each side, and on the throne in the middle of the hall was sitting an old woman with thin eyes and a high nose, red lips and white teeth, dressed in gorgeous clothes and jewels.

"Recently, the mourning family has heard the prince and the princess say that there is a genius named Lu Zuo on this river and lake, who is more powerful than the overlord, wise and cunning, but are you talking about it?"

"It's His Highness who praised it falsely, how dare the grass people be compared with the two heroes."

The queen nodded solemnly, "Raise your head." ”

Lu Zuo raised his head slowly, his eyes didn't dare to look directly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, thinking about what to say next and how to say it from time to time!

The queen mother carefully looked at the young man in front of her, looking at it with bright eyes and bright teeth, a delicate face, and a little dear in her heart.

"Hmm!" The queen nodded, expressing satisfaction, "This face is complete!" Who else is in the family? I heard that your family has been writing poetry and books for generations, did your ancestors have been officials in the court? ”

"Caomin lives in Shanzhou, my father died of illness when I was young, and now there is only my mother and a younger brother left in the family. His ancestors had never been an official in the court, but his great-grandfather was a small official in the state capital, which was not enough to worry about. ”

The queen asked the palace maid to support herself, slowly walked down the steps, and smiled while watching and smiling around Lu Zuo, "This appearance and temperament are a little similar to Xun Mou's kid." But everything is good, it's just a little thinner than him. ”

As soon as the queen's voice fell, the others also laughed, and Lu Zuo also smiled awkwardly. The queen pointed to Lu Zuo and asked An Yuanshan: "Uncle Pingyuan, what do you think?" ”

An Yuanshan already has the answer in his heart at this moment, looking at Lu Zuo's character, according to his years of experience in reading countless people, he should not be wrong, although he is very afraid that his daughter will not like it, but there is a queen to protect the media, it is estimated that she will not dare to disobey, and if it is really as the world says that Lu Zuo is a genius, then marrying his daughter to him and uniting the two families is not a good game of chess, then it is better to be a favor now. Then he said: "The queen mother just makes up her mind, and the minister does not dare to object." ”

"Where is Uncle Pingyuan, the words of the parents are the matchmaker. As long as Amber says yes, this palace will help you protect the media! ”

An Yuanshan's second son, An Shilu, was already indignant and dissatisfied, so he pulled his throat and said: "Niangniang, I think this marriage is still waiting for my subordinate sister to see it, my sister has a strong personality, I'm afraid I won't agree to this marriage!" ”

An Yuanshan knows the temperament of his two sons, the eldest son An Shiqing is calm and steady, and the second son is impetuous. This time, I wanted to bring only my eldest son Shiqing here, but Shilu was entangled to show her sister for the sake of her sister's marriage. And An Shilu has always hated interacting with literati, so he doesn't like Lu Zuo, just now he came and went, An Shilu couldn't hold back the words in his heart for a long time, so he had the words just now to prevaricate the queen. It's just that this sentence made An Yuanshan and Lu Zuo a little embarrassed.

The queen looked embarrassed, glanced at An Shilu, and asked An Yuanshan again: "Uncle Pingyuan, what do you think?" ”

An Yuanshan was terrified in his heart, and he didn't know how to decide. An Shiqing, who was standing behind him and never liked to talk, suddenly said: "What Niang Niang said is, looking down, this marriage can't be hasty." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"As soon as I came to the family to Mu Huangen, I dare not say that I have the merit of founding the country, but I also have a small amount of labor, and the princess of Qiongqian is the goddaughter of the queen's mother, if my sister does not agree, wouldn't it be a thin face. Second, Mr. Lu came to Beijing for the first time, this time to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but now he does not have an official and a half-position to serve the public, and it is not too hasty to judge others just by the reputation of the rivers and lakes, not to mention that this is a major marriage event! ”

An Shiqing spoke eloquently, and the queen couldn't help but nod her head.

The crown prince sank like water when he heard this, after all, the marriage was just a sacrifice for a small county lord, and there was no loss to himself, An Shiqing said so much, just to buy time for his sister to observe Lu Zuo.

When the crown prince Liu Yan was about to speak, Ping Yuanbo took the lead and echoed An Shiqing's words. The queen looked at Xu Bingde expressionlessly, meaning that he would also express his opinion.

Xu Bingde also smiled and arched his hand: "Niangniang, what Uncle Pingyuan said is that it is better to wait until the end of this spring festival to discuss this matter." ”

"That's it!" The queen smiled, looking at the thin young man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little pity, "But Lu Zuo, this kid, has a bit of an eye for me, and this palace likes it very much." ”

"Xie Niangniang is in love, and the grass people are terrified!" Lu Zuoli was thoughtful and did not slack off at all.

The queen laughed, "Lu Zuo, what's the small print?" ”

"Grass people word Gongfu!"

"It's good, it does have the temperament of the heavens and the earth. Do you have a place to stay in Beijing? ”

"The grass people live in Shanzhou, thousands of miles away, where do they have a place to live in Kyoto without relatives and no reason! At present, he only lives in a hut. ”

At this time, Xu Bingde's eyes rolled, and when he saw that the prince was about to speak, he rushed in front of the prince and said: "Niangniang, didn't the emperor raid the mansion of Tao Jilin, the squire of the military department, at the end of last year!" I heard that it is still empty. ”

"Hmmm! Then the palace will send someone to ask the emperor for instructions and let Mr. Lu stay! ”
