Chapter 140: Shen Chu's Visitor

She took a sip and wondered, "Why are they so happy?" ”

"Early this morning, the crown prince of Shen Chu arrived in our Qiushui City, and went to see His Majesty in the early court." Bang Hua glanced at the laughing female officials not far away, and explained, "But they are arguing with His Highness?" Do you want slaves to go ......?"

"It doesn't matter." Luo Liyao waved her hand, and also looked at the female officials who were walking in their direction, and happened to see one of them holding a few freshly broken shandan lilies in her arms, looking like she was about to sing, so she immediately continued to look at it with some interest.

Bang Hua saw that there was no bored look on her face, so he also quietly accompanied her.

"There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding, stinging, and hesitation. If there is a bandit gentleman, you will not be able to slander (1) ......"

The woman's singing voice is as loud as a pearl and melodious, showing the yearning and praise for the man she likes in this song "Qiao Qiao", showing her love and affection between receiving and releasing it.

Luo Liyao was a little stupid for a while, and Luo Xizheng's appearance slowly appeared in her mind - sword eyebrows, starry eyes, dragon chapters and phoenixes, with a smile and gestures, all of which are "unavoidable" world-class demeanor.

Bang Yue looked at her like this, and was very curious for a while: "Your Highness, what is this singing?" ”

"It's 'Qi Ao', it's a ...... that women use to praise handsome men and show him their hearts" Luo Liyao paused, then got up lightly and walked towards the singing woman.

The female officials were laughing and listening to the man singing, but when they suddenly saw Luo Liyao walking towards them, they hurriedly respectfully saluted her, and the singing stopped abruptly.

Luo Liyao said "no courtesy", then turned her gaze to the woman who had just sang, and beckoned to her: "Who are you?" What is your name? ”

It seemed that because it attracted her attention, the woman was a little nervous, bit her lip and saluted again: "The slave maid is the seventh grade of the Shanggong Bureau-Xie Yin...... Her Royal Highness the princess forgives her sins, but the slave maid just disturbed the princess? ”

"It's okay, you come forward." Luo Liyao smiled slightly, beckoned to her, and motioned for her to step forward, "I like this song you sing very muchβ€”why do you sing this one?" ”

"Yes, it's because ......" Xie Yin's face suddenly flew a few red glows, and he shyly took a few steps forward with the delicate Shandan lily in his arms, lowered his head and said softly, "When Prince Shenchu entered the palace today, the slave maid had the honor to meet once......"

It turned out to be the thoughts of such a daughter's family, but it was quite cute.

As soon as she said this, some of the female officials behind her immediately couldn't help laughing, just hindering Luo Liyao here, and only trying their best to hold back their laughter.

"Prince Shenchu...... Chu Lingze? ”

Speaking of Shen Chu's

Prince, Luo Liyao has heard of this person's name, and he also knows a little - the only concubine of Chu Zhaoxi, the monarch of Shenchu State, has a good conversation, a slightly amazing talent, and was born with a peerless demeanor.

If you talk about blood kinship, Chu Lingze is still her cousin, but unfortunately she has never seen it, and she has not remembered it.

Shen Chu is still a gentleman and elegant, and I have heard that there are many beautiful men, presumably this Shen Chu prince will not be much worse.

Luo Liyao smiled slightly, and continued to ask, "Do you think that Prince Shenchu is just like the man in this song?" ”

"Naturally!" As soon as he mentioned his sweetheart, Xie Yin raised his head in a hurry, and said with a radiant expression, "The slave maid has seen with her own eyes, Prince Shenchu is graceful, gentle and polite, he is really a peerless beautiful man like jade......"

In the end, Xie Yin also blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

The people of Tianqi are simple and open, and women are still allowed to be officials in the temple, and men and women can also be classmates in the school, so they are not too demanding on men and women, and only abide by the most basic morality.

Luo Liyao casually flicked the jade pendant she was wearing on her earlobe, and she was also a little curious about this Prince Shenchu in her heart: "Where is his residence arranged?" Is it in the post house outside the palace, or in the palace? ”

"Yesterday morning, the head of the Internal Affairs Department came to pay a respect, saying that he had been instructed by His Majesty to clean up the Huatai Hall in the palace, and today he will assign the palace people to serve...... It seems that Prince Shenchu should be arranged to live in the palace. Bang Hua answered her question with a smile, "It's not yet the time of the next dynasty, Your Highness should go to the Huatai Hall to have a look first?" ”

"Not necessarily." Luo Liyao thought for a moment, "Since he is in the palace, there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”

After that, Luo Liyao didn't want to talk to Xie Yin and the others anymore, turned around and wanted to return to the pavilion, but was called by Xie Yin's timid "Your Highness" to stop and look back at her.

The red glow on Xie Yin's face did not dissipate, and even deepened a little, seeing Luo Liyao looking back, he hurriedly saluted again, and said timidly: "The slave is brave and wants to ask His Highness for a favor." ”

Seeing Luo Liyao's eyebrows slightly raised, Bang Hua hurriedly scolded Xie Yin softly: "Xie Sishe, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"Do you want to serve in the Birch Temple?" Luo Liyao smiled and waved her hand at Bang Hua, "Because of Chu Lingze? ”

Hearing Luo Liyao call her sweetheart's name, Xie Yin's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and said, "The slave knows that her status is low, but she really admires Prince Shenchu. In the past, the slave maid was a second-class palace maid in Zhaoyang Palace, and she also served the queen of Zhao...... The slave knows how to measure. ”

"At that time...... Aunt Jinluan recommended you to the Shanggong Bureau? Hearing her mention Chu Zhaoying, Luo Liyao's heart moved, and she thought about it, "That's right."

I think I think of you very much. ”

Xie Yin replied: "Yes, Aunt Jinluan's teachings, the slave maid will never forget." ”

"That's fine." Luo Liyao turned her head away, no longer looked at her, and only left a sentence lightly, "If you really want to go, then go." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Xie Yin happily saluted and thanked him, watched Luo Liyao go away, and shyly accepted the congratulations of the people around him - although it was not a grade promotion, if he served well in the Huatai Hall and won the blue eyes of Prince Shenchu, it would be a great joy.

They are about to come out with such thoughts, but Luo Liyao is flawless and doesn't really want to take care of it, the road is all chosen by herself, I just hope that Xie Yin will not regret the path she chose in the future.

After returning to the pavilion and sitting for a while, he also estimated that it was time for the next morning dynasty.

Shanglin Yuan is the only way for the ministers to get out of the palace, and Bang Hua also knew that Luo Liyao was not in a good mood, so as not to bump into any minister who could not observe words and emotions and annoy her, so she hurriedly persuaded her to leave for the Canglan Palace.

Luo Liyao was not very interested, and the wound on her neck had been aching faintly, so she didn't bother to move, so she asked Bang Hua to call a sedan chair to travel.

When passing by the Qingxi on the edge of the forest garden, the breeze was breezy, sending the refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants, and at the same time, there were also bursts of flute sounds - such as the sound of the ring, Qingyue tactful, is Luo Liyao's familiar tune.

I only heard that she was yearning, and hurriedly ordered the attendant who carried the sedan chair to stop, personally got off the sedan chair, and followed the sound to the depths of the grass and trees.

The sound of the flute was faint, sometimes crying like a complaint, sometimes generous and magnificent, pointing out the direction for Luo Liyao, so that she could easily find the person who played the flute.

On the shore of Linxi Lake, by the flowers, the man in Tsing Yi stood tall and jade, and was holding a jade flute to his lips, as if he was playing it inadvertently, and such a peerless tune was passed out - it was a unique tune of Shen Chu.

When she was young, Luo Liyao often listened to Chu Zhaoying play, although the instruments are different, but the emotions and deep meanings contained in the tunes are the same.

It's a pity that no matter how she asked Chu Zhaoying about this song, the latter kept silent and refused to teach her anything.

And the man, Luo Liyao, couldn't help but walk towards him, only glanced at his side face from a distance, and knew that the words "There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding......" These words are not false.

She has seen the majestic and handsome like Luo Xizheng, the domineering and mighty spirit like Luo Chengjuan, and the gentle and elegant Pian Ran like the daily life of Meng Yan...... Seeing this person today, she knew that there was such a peerless and untouched man in this world, as elegant as a fairy.

She couldn't help but reach a distance of only a dozen feet from the man.

The slight sound of silk shoes stepping on the soft turf naturally could not be hidden from the other party's ears

Duo, he stopped the action of the, turned to look at Luo Liyao, who was walking towards him, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled at her and said softly: "Princess Zhenli." ”

His voice is even better than his flute sound, and a simple call makes people feel as warm as a spring breeze, and Luo Liyao is also a little confused in her heart.

This person appeared here at this time, and his appearance was shocking, and Luo Liyao naturally easily guessed his identity - she smiled back a little embarrassedly, and blessed slightly: "Why can the prince recognize me so easily?" ”

Chu Lingze couldn't help but smile, suppressed the amazement in his heart, and gently replied: "Princess Tianqi Zhenli has peerless talent and a posture of captivating the country, Ling Ze has been yearning for it for a long time - see it today, taste what you want." ”

The content of these words was obviously a compliment, but in his mouth, he felt sincere, and with some kind respect, which did not make people think that he was abrupt and rude.

is worthy of being born in the Shenchu royal family, presumably only the birthplace of etiquette can nourish and produce otherworldly characters like Chu Lingze.

"That tune just now...... Can it be named? Luo Liyao looked at the tube of jade flute he was holding in his hand and asked softly, "When I was young, 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?" ”
