After the three of them returned to the palace, the envoys of various countries had finished chatting with the people who wanted to meet, and at this moment they were strolling in the imperial garden in twos and threes, and occasionally the female dependents wanted to take the opportunity to talk with the queen of Nanshang and the harem of the king of Nanshang, but Li Jinzhen was also very cautious, and did not want to let these people succeed, and knew that it was inconvenient to offend them, so he sent close palace maids and turned them back from the door without a trace.

At this time, the powerful and wealthy ladies of the court and the rich families were invited to come to the palace for a gathering. It stands to reason that at this time, Nan Luyuan should not leave Nan Zi Xiao for half a step, but Lu Shuang made an appointment with them to the side hall early in the morning, and it was inconvenient for Nan Zi Xiao to be absent from the winter banquet, so Nan Luyuan had to ask Nan Zi Xiao to Li Yangguan, and he followed Lu Liuyu to the side hall where the Western Tang Dynasty temporarily lived.

In the side hall, Lu Shuangming was already waiting in front of the small case, with a small red clay stove on the case, and a pot of warm wine was slowly boiling on the stove.

"The ancients said: 'Green ants make new wine, red clay small stoves.' If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? Today, a certain person will follow the example of the ancients, and he will also be elegant. Lu Shuang raised his hand in the small case of the Ming Dynasty and motioned for Lu Liuyu and Nan Luyuan to sit, "Why didn't the king of Nanshang come?" ”

"Before the winter banquet, our nobles and powerful ministers will bring their proud people and children to join in the fun and expand their contacts," Nan Luyuan sat down, facing Lu Shuangming, and explained to him, "At this time, it is inconvenient for Your Majesty to be absent, so I will come on behalf of Your Majesty." ”

When Lu Shuangming heard this, he didn't have an unhappy look, he just smiled understandingly, and when the wine was almost hot, he personally took a thick Luo silk pad and picked up the wine jug to pour wine for Nan Luyuan and Lu Liu, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy at such a young age. ”

Nan Luyuan took the cup, took a sip, and felt the long aroma of wine spread along his lips and tongue to his body, and a warm heat wrapped around his abdomen.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and only felt that this wine should only be in the sky.

"It's an almost lost recipe, 'Flower Navy', and it's said that there is a story behind it." Lu Shuangming smiled, his eyebrows curled into a waning moon, and his handsome and holy face like a god and Buddha revealed a trace of calmness and elegance, "I invited you here this time, just to take advantage of the winter banquet to negotiate the places that were not properly discussed last time." We have already decided to open each other's ports and borders, and then let's talk about what both sides can sell, and what the unified quota is. ”

Nan Luyuan took a sip of wine, neither agreed nor refused, but only reminded: "Prince, I am a retainer of King Nanshang, and I cannot make this conclusion on behalf of Your Majesty." ”

Lu Shuangming was not surprised, shrugged his shoulders lightly rather indifferently, and said gently: "My lord can't make a decision that can endanger Nanshang." Even if adults have concerns, can't they even talk about things that are prohibited from export? ”

Nan Luyuan pondered for a moment, but still took a step back and said: "Arms and addictions, as well as salt and iron." ”

Lu Shuangming chuckled, and said with a smile: "My lord, these will be banned in any country, and I am asking, is there anything in your country that is not allowed to be resold at will in terms of beliefs and customs, let alone sold to other countries." ”

Nan Luyuan was stunned.

Lu Shuangming smiled and gestured his fingers, and then said: "For example, we in the Western Tang Dynasty have our own gods and Buddhas, and the statues of the gods and Buddhas in the Western Tang Dynasty are absolutely forbidden to be resold, nor are they allowed to be counterfeited and given to other people at will. ”

Nan Luyuan was a little shocked, but then he thought about it, the Western Tang Dynasty has always been a country with strong beliefs, and if there were gods in his heart, he would naturally not allow the above situation to happen.

Lu Liuwei stroked the ends of her hair, drinking hot wine while staring at Qin Jiaowei.

Lu Shuangming tapped the fingers of his right hand with the fingers of his left hand, and made a gesture of "two" with his right hand, and then said: "The antelope unique to the Western Tang Kingdom cannot be sent, whether it is dead or alive, once it is investigated, more than two heads will be punished with a car split." ”

This Nan Luyuan has heard it. The antelope is a large group of things unique to the Western Tang Dynasty, can not be domesticated, only lives in the high mountains and wastelands, and is also regarded as the national beast of the Western Tang Dynasty, it is said that there have been people who have used various means to smuggle this thing, but the Western Tang Dynasty has strictly grasped and cracked down on it, and there are very few who have succeeded.

It's just that NCB doesn't seem to have such rules.

Nan Luyuan calmed down, thought for a long time with his chin in his hand, frowned, and didn't think of any taboos for a long time, so he said: "No." As long as the Western Tang Dynasty does not spread religion to the Southern Commerce, we have no hard and fast rules for the rest. ”

Lu Shuangming was just about to speak, Fang Jue was getting late, so he asked Qin Jiaowei to light the lamp, but this was not good, as soon as it was lit, he could see people coming and going outside, as if something big had happened, and it was so lively that the chatter was not lively.

Lu Shuangming was attracted by this noise, and turned his head to Qin Jiaowei curiously: "Jiaowei, you go outside to see, what happened to provoke such a discussion outside?" ”

Qin Jiaowei turned his head and glanced at Nan Luyuan and Lu Liuwei before walking out obediently.

Lu Shuang nodded with a smile and said, "The words of the adults have been agreed." When a certain person returns home, he will discuss it with his father. ”

Nan Luyuan bowed to him, which was regarded as a peaceful solution to the problem of frontier trade.

Lu Shuangming saw that Qin Jiaowei hadn't come back yet, so he approached Nan Luyuan and said with a cautious expression: "Have you ever seen a person named 'Gu Shuanghua'?" ”

Nan Luyuan's heart moved, but his face did not show it, but he seemed to be embarrassed: "What does the prince mean?" ”

"It's not a big deal about the country, it's just a little thing...... So-and-so had seen him, exactly the same as so-and-so. Plus a certain once upon a time and Qi ...... The relationship between the seventh brother is not bad, and there is a conjecture ......"

Nan Luyuan narrowed his eyes, and instinctively noticed that the latter words were probably Lu Shuangming's personal privacy and other things, and I was afraid that it was not something that he, an important minister of another country who had only met a few times, should listen to, so he subconsciously wanted to stop Lu Shuangming from saying: "The prince ......"

Unexpectedly, Lu Liuhui took a step ahead of him and said: "Old dough man, you suspect that he is the seventh prince and it has not been a year or two, and you have also sent me to the side to knock on it, but if he is the seventh prince, how can he deny you?" You have also checked the current life history of King Qi thousands of times, and you have not found any mistakes. Prince, soft-hearted and misguided. ”

Nan Luyuan didn't really want to inquire about other people's family affairs, but he still sincerely felt that Lu Shuangming and Nan Zixiao were in some places...... It's quite similar.

Such as...... It's the same soft-heartedness.

However, Lu Shuangming said quite stubbornly: "But Gu Shuanghua has saved many times before and after, and the mole on his face ...... I can't be mistaken. ”

"Then you shouldn't tell the family affairs of the Western Tang royal family to the Southern Shang courtiers, the prince." Lu Liuhui then persuaded, his expression was already a little dissatisfied, and a pair of eyes glared at Lu Shuangming fiercely, "I know King Qi...... The Seventh Prince means a lot to you, but you shouldn't tell Nan Gongzi these things, not only is it harmful to you, in case the wall has ears, and Nan Gongzi ends up with a 'collaborator', are you willing to see it? ”

Lu Shuangming's expression returned to clarity, and he stopped his mouth in time, and smiled bitterly at Nan Luyuan with an apologetic expression.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, Qin Jiaowei came back, and reported to Lu Shuangming with respect on his face, before he said: "Back to Your Highness, the riot outside is because of ...... people who saw it" He glanced at Nan Luyuan, his expression was a little complicated, but he still continued, "The king of Nanshang and the same woman are pulling and pulling in the back mountain, and her clothes are disheveled. ”

Nan Luyuan got up suddenly, stared at Qin Jiaowei directly, and subconsciously said, "What did you say?" ”

How could Zi Xiao do such a thing, let alone ...... at such an important time as the winter banquet!

He only felt that his hands trembled, his body was cold, and his eyes were dark, so he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the hall!

Lu Liuhui knew how much this incident had dealt a blow to Nanshang's reputation, so he hurriedly said to Lu Shuangming "Lost company" and followed Nan Luyuan's figure.

Lu Shuangming was taken aback by the reaction of these two people, a little inexplicable, and couldn't come back to his senses, and asked again: "Jiaowei, what did you just say?" ”

Qin Jiaowei bowed his head more respectfully and replied: "Someone saw the king of Nanshang pulling and pulling with a woman in the back mountain, disheveled. ”

Lu Shuangming's eyes were dull, and he blinked his eyes several times before he slowly put down the teacup, got up with a solemn face, and Qin Jiaowei put on a big coat for him, and walked out of the hall.

"Let's see, it's not a joke, maybe someone did it on purpose." He said softly, his slender fingers brushing the scimitar he was wearing at his waist, and with a slight pull, the scabbard made a "pop" sound, which was not noticeable in the noisy crowd.

Qin Jiaowei held up an umbrella for him, and the two took advantage of the commotion to blend into the crowd, listening to the discussions in all directions, and roughly guessed the whole process. There is a woman in the family who is acquainted with Nan Zixiao, the two seem to want to whisper, so they stay away from everyone, I don't know how long it took, there are maids passing by, bumped into the unclothed Nan Zixiao and the girl of the family, and now the family is forcing the king of Nanshang to give an explanation.

"The king of Nanshang is not a man who can do such a thing." Lu Shuang thought to himself, raised his smooth chin, and looked past everyone - sure enough, he saw Nan Luyuan's figure shuttling quickly through the crowd, and after a while, he went to the main hall.

"I don't know what NCB is going to do." Lu Shuangming quietly approached Qin Jiaowei and said. "As soon as we arrived at NCB, something happened, do you think you will be falsely accused when you turn back?"

"Qin Zheng is willing to eradicate hidden dangers for His Majesty." Qin Jiaowei immediately bent down and leaned over in response, attracting the sideways glances of many people.

Lu Shuangming hurriedly helped him stand up straight, worried Zhong Zhong said: "I don't know how Nan Luyuan will face it." ”

Nan Luyuan felt that the blood mansion was completely cold.

The person in front of him, the so-called person who was insulted by the king of Nanshang, was the mysterious girl who came from an unknown source in the villa that day.

The girl cried so much that the pear blossom with rain on her face, and the moment she saw Nan Luyuan come in, she gently revealed a little fierce light.

Nan Ziyu sat on the side with his hands covering his face, Nan Luyuan was not sure if he was extremely ashamed.

And although he was stopped by the guards outside, the gossip of people could not be stopped. If it is not dealt with properly, Nan Zixiao's reputation will be explained today.

He felt his head buzz.
