"That tune just now...... Can it be named? Luo Liyao looked at the tube of Bihai Jade Flute he was holding in his hand and asked softly, "When I was a child, I often listened to my mother play the piano, and I always played such a song - but she never refused to teach me, but because of any taboos?" ”

This song is called "Pan Canglang", which is Shen Chu's characteristic track. It was originally a guqin song, but it was later adapted by a master to have this flute song. Chu Lingze was slightly stunned and replied, "It's not because there are any taboos, it's just that this song is mostly a bit of sadness and impermanence in the world-aunt her...... Presumably, I don't want the princess to have this trouble. ”

"Sad life, sigh the impermanence of the world." Luo Liyao raised her eyebrows slightly, repeated it gently, and then looked at his gentle and plain face and said, "Prince...... Is there such a problem? ”

"Ling Ze is just a rich idler, and the only thing he knows most in his life is music and travel-" Chu Lingze only smiled gently at her, but that smile made people feel very good about him inexplicably, "The more places I have traveled, the more sentimental it is, which makes the princess smile." ”

Shenchu is different from Tianqi, Shenchu people believe in "reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles", so in Shenchu country, nobles and wealthy children with well-off families will go out to travel around when they are young, go to many places, and see all kinds of different customs.

Chu Lingze is such a person, he has been to Weiyan, to Yanding, and even Gongzi and the barbarians further away, he has been involved in it—however, this is the first time he has come to Tianqi.

Hearing this, Luo Liyao couldn't help but be a little curious, and because of Chu Zhaoying, she also felt a little close to Chu Lingze.

Shen Chu...... The birthplace of etiquette must be beautiful, right? As soon as Luo Liyao thought of Chu Zhaoying, she remembered her hometown, "The book always says how prosperous Shen Chu is - unfortunately, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see the prosperous scene of Shen Chu in my life." ”

"Although Shenchu is still prosperous, the hearts of Shenchu people have changed a lot." Although Chu Lingze's face still maintained such a gentle smile, his tone suddenly lowered a little, "Literati always have a clear and high style, and the high wind is bright...... But if you call yourself a literati and boast of being noble with some ink, it is really embarrassing. ”

Luo Liyao heard his words that seemed to be complaining, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Inevitably, Chu Lingze began to feel sentimental, and she hurriedly changed the topic: "The prince came to Tianqi, presumably not because of travel?" ”

"The princess is smart." Chu Lingze sighed softly, "I came to Tianqi, not only because of my father's instructions, but also because of my heart-"

"What did the prince say about this?"

"At this time last year, my father instructed the emperor's brother Ling Yuan to come to Tianqi to visit his aunt, and by the way, he asked to marry Princess Tang Jue." Chu Lingze tilted his head slightly, looking at the beautiful face of the girl next to him, and when he smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, he made every move

There was a national posture between them, and he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering, and he said slowly, "It's just that at that time, Yanding Guojun has already set off - it will inevitably make Yanding Guojun unhappy, and this matter will also be delayed." ”

"At that time, the monarch of Sikong also came suddenly. It stands to reason that at that time, he had just succeeded to the throne, and it was time to stay in Yanding to consolidate the throne......" Luo Liyao noticed his gaze, and also turned his head slightly to meet his gaze, "If you want to win over neighboring countries, the majestic Frost Princess should be his best choice—and you don't have to go to Tianqi to come to Tianqi." ”

"The princess is kind-hearted, but she doesn't want to think about certain things in those dirty ways." Chu Lingze seemed to be very helpless, and explained, "It's impossible for you not to know that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and in the five countries, except for Tianqi, who is still strong and strong, the national strength of the four countries is gradually declining...... Tianqi is already far beyond the other four countries - and the princess of Tianqi is also the 'object' of competition among countries. Princess Tang Jue is, Princess Zhenli, and so do you. ”

"I'm ...... too" Luo Liyao blinked, with a slight smile on her face, "Then the prince is also like the previous Sikong monarch, did he come to ask Princess Tianqi for marriage?" ”

"Ahem." Because of her words, Chu Lingze's face unconsciously blushed, and he coughed lightly, "The princess knows that we are cousins, and we have also heard a little about Princess Zhenli being engaged to the young general of the Meng family...... The princess can't make such jokes anymore. ”

"That's a pity—" Luo Liyao said as if regretful, "It's very enviable to be able to marry a woman like the crown prince." ”

Perhaps because of Chu Zhaoying, Chu Lingze did not hide her in this regard.

The princess laughed...... Before leaving, the imperial brother was unwell and was not suitable for driving and horses, so he asked me to bring a generous gift and come to ask for a kiss. The flush on Chu Lingze's face deepened a little, but he also kept the etiquette and gently explained the reason, "The father and the emperor and the imperial brother all know that Tianqi no longer has a suitable princess - so he wants to marry a county lord." ”

"I only said that I was the county lord of Tianqi, but I didn't say which one...... Tianqi's county lord, but there are too many. Luo Liyao sighed softly, "The crown prince came to Tianqi on behalf of his brother to ask for a kiss, but it took a lot of trouble." ”

Listening to the meaning of Chu Lingze's words, and seeing his helpless appearance, Luo Liyao also guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

Chu Zhaoxi, the monarch of Shen Chu, is the twin brother of Chu Zhaoying, the queen of Tianqi Zhao, and has only two sons and one daughter under his knees: the eldest son Chu Lingyuan was born by Chu Zhaoxi's late wife Empress Yuan, and the crown prince Chu Lingze and the princess Chu Lingxiang were both born by the step-queen - although all three can be regarded as concubines, but because the identities of Empress Yuan and the step-queen are different, Chu Lingyuan's identity is also faintly higher than Chu Lingze and Chu Lingxiang.

otherwise

, as the prince of a country, he traveled thousands of miles to ask the county lord of Tianqi on behalf of his brother, which is really too much to say.

Luo Liyao once heard Su Luoran say that although Chu Lingze is the prince of Shenchu, most of the forces within Shenchu are in the hands of the general Yongjun, and Yongjun is the brother of the favorite concubine Yongye and the uncle of Chu Lingyuan - thinking about it like this, anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that Chu Lingze's position as the crown prince is not stable.

"Now that the crown prince has arrived in Tianqi, you might as well stay for a while and take a good look at each other." Luo Liyao was a little helpless in her heart, but she had to comfort, "Presumably...... The royal brother also said the same thing to the crown prince. ”

"Yes, the princess's words are exactly the same as Your Majesty's-" Chu Lingze was slightly surprised, but he also collected his sentimental mood in time, and said with some envy, "So it seems...... Although the princess and Her Majesty were not born to the same mother, they had a very good relationship. ”

Luo Liyao's heart was shocked, but she didn't want to explain more, she only smiled and answered "yes", and then turned the topic to other places.

The two chatted about the past and the present, Luo Liyao liked to listen to the anecdotes of his travels, and he was a little lingering for a while.

In the end, Bang Hua saw that it was already lunch time, so he came to remind the two.

Luo Liyao said goodbye to Chu Lingze with some reluctance, and sent someone to send him to the Huatai Palace, before taking a sedan chair back to his Canglan Palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, Luo Liyao not only smelled the fragrance of the delicacies that filled the room, but also faintly noticed an unusual low air pressure revealed in the hall - she walked through the main hall and walked to the side room for daily meals, and saw Luo Xizheng sitting on the main seat with a low face, and Bang Yue, who was standing on the side and didn't even dare to come out.

Seeing this scene, Luo Liyao sighed softly in her heart, and hurriedly sent everyone around her back: "You all go out first." ”

"Chu Lingze is so good?" Hearing the sound of the door of the outer hall slowly closing, Luo Xi Zhengcai said with a low face and a muffled voice, "You guys have a good conversation in Shanglin Yuan, are you so happy?" ”

Luo Liyao heard his questioning tone, so she didn't want to say anything more to him, but said, "Didn't you see it all?" ”

Looking at him like this, he had already known about his encounter with Chu Lingze in Shanglin Yuan, and he might even know the content of their conversation - what else did Luo Xizheng not know about the things in this palace?

"You're not going to say anything?" Luo Xizheng suddenly got up and approached her, and with each step he took, the closer he got to her, the lower the pressure around him became, "Original...... Do you like a man like Chu Lingze? ”

Luo Liyao frowned, forced by him to retreat step by step, and finally leaned her back against the wall.

Even so, she didn't want to explain anything.

And she

Such an attitude made the flame of jealousy in Luo Xizheng's heart burn even more, and he directly leaned over and pressed her between his chest and the wall, and said indignantly: "He's just a weak prince with no real power, what's so good?" ”

Luo Liyao's mind suddenly appeared in the scene of Chu Lingze playing "Pan Canglang", and his sentimental face and demeanor were all very similar to Chu Zhaoying back then.

Such a man has become "weak" in Luo Xizheng's eyes?

"What do you know?" Luo Liyao couldn't bear this breath, and sneered at each other, "You are now above the ten thousand people of Tianqi, you can't understand his situation at all!" ”

"More than 10,000 people?" Luo Xizheng heard her rebuttal, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, reached out and gently pinched her cheeks, and forcibly leaned over to touch her forehead, "Since I am above ten thousand people in Tianqi, can I do anything?" ”

Luo Liyao was forced to look directly into his eyes, and naturally met his aggressive gaze, her body shook unconsciously, and she began to struggle: "You, you let go of me first......"

Luo Xizheng squinted, held her waist with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and said very domineeringly: "I said - I will never let go of you." ”

Without waiting for her to react to the deep affection contained in this sentence, Luo Xizheng leaned down and kissed her deeply on the soft and sweet lips.
