Chapter 50: The Winter Solstice

I saw the woman in yellow who fell at the end, and the direction of the arrow was actually a group of women in front!

The men had gone to change their clothes, and only her, the prince and his entourage were present.

Lu Xihe got up, picked up his bow and arrow very quickly, and aimed at the horse farm.

The prince then stood up, his hand attached to her bow and arrows.

Lu Xihe gritted his teeth secretly and said goodbye to the prince, "Your Highness, please don't stop it." ”

The prince approached her, "Miss Lu, I don't like them, so why bother with these things?" ”

"Even if I don't like them anymore, I won't watch people die!" She was about to make a move, when the prince suddenly covered her hand, and an arrow rushed straight at the horse farm.

The woman in yellow had a gloomy face, "None of you want to win against me. The direction in which she released the arrow was Fang Zijin, who was the leader.

Shang Wanwan only felt a sound of wind passing by her ears, and when she looked at it, it was an arrow, "Sister Fang, be careful!" ”

At this moment, Fang Zijin had no time to get out, and just when she was in a hurry, another arrow actually came towards her.

As soon as Murong Che entered the arena, he saw such a scene.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, he turned over and got on his horse and galloped towards Fang Zijin.

The two arrows collided in the air and landed on the ground at the same time.

A false alarm.

Lu Xihe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the prince and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the rescue." ”

Ning Yan, who had finished changing his clothes, stood behind the two with a gloomy face, "What are you doing?" ”

The prince walked away at the right time, "Since the fifth brother is here, I won't bother." ”

Lu Xihe stood alone by the fence, facing his questioning, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If you don't speak, your heart is empty?" Ning Yan walked step by step, "How are you getting along with the prince?" Isn't he likable? ”

She felt that he was unreasonable, "The prince might as well calm down." ”

"You're good." He quickly left and never looked back.

Lu Xihe hung his head slightly, looking at the ground and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lord Lu, thank you." Fang Zijin's voice sounded.

She looked up, "If you want to thank His Royal Highness the Prince, he saved you." ”

Fang Zijin said sincerely: "No matter what, I still want to thank you. If you don't find out in time, the consequences are unimaginable. She took Lu Xihe's hand, "You saved me again." From today on, you will be a good friend of our Fang Zijin for the rest of your life. I..."

Afraid that she would say something unlucky, Lu Xihe interrupted: "Okay, I understand what you mean, don't say unlucky things." ”

Fang Zijin smiled, his eyes shining, "I don't say it." ”

She looked in the direction of the prince and hesitated: "I want to thank His Royal Highness the prince, but there is someone next to him, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

Lu Xihe glanced at it curiously, "Is that Murong Gongzi?" ”

Fang Zijin nodded.

Lu Xihe hid his face and smiled, "You just need to give him a look, and he will naturally retreat obediently." ”

Although Fang Zijin had doubts, he still walked over.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No courtesy."

Fang Zijin's gaze fell on Murong Che, Murong Che looked at her for a moment, and really left.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for today's events." She said.

The prince replied: "If you say thank you, you should thank Miss Lu." ”

Fang Zijin was surprised, what these two people said was the same, it was really strange.

"Yes." She replied briefly, saluted, and left.

After Fang Zijin left, Murong Che came back leisurely.

The prince asked, "When will Fuso's mission come?" ”

"You will be able to reach the border in less than seven days." Murong Che knew that the crown prince wanted to take this opportunity to completely provoke the war between King Gong and King Chu.

According to the personality of the Fusang people, that princess will inevitably fall in love with the domineering and unruly King of Chu.

Do you still need to think about the next thing?

The king of Chu will definitely resist, and the emperor will be furious, reduce his power, and force him to marry the princess of Fusang.

And at this time, as long as there is a little more fire, the emperor will match Lu Xihe out in case of accidents.

The prince doesn't think that Lu Xihe is a person who is willing to give his life for the sake of affection.

Disobeying the holy decree, not only will she suffer, but her family will also bear the wrath of the Son of Heaven together.

She's a smart person, she knows what to do.

As long as there is a rift between them, this already fragile emotion will be like a plate of loose sand.

The prince thought and suddenly laughed.

If Lu Xihe was ten years older than now, he might not succeed.

But, just right...

The woman in yellow was ordered by the family to think about it behind closed doors for a month because of her outrageous behavior on the horse farm.

Things have gotten to this point that it doesn't matter anymore to think about them behind closed doors.

The important thing is that her reputation has been ruined in Kyochu, and the family in Kyochu will no longer accept her.

It's really more than worth the loss.

After Lu Xihe said goodbye to Zhang Zhirou and others, he quietly left the Guogong Mansion.

He is a prince, and his status is already respected, and it seems impossible to want him to coax himself.

But she was wronged in vain, and she was reluctant.

It was only now that she seriously thought about her relationship with Ning Yan.

Is this what she wants? Will she spend the rest of her life with misunderstandings and trivialities?

She couldn't figure it out.

The only thing Lu Xihe is sure of is that she doesn't want her current state.

She decided to make it clear with him.

She has nothing to do with the prince, although I don't know why he is so angry, but as long as the misunderstanding is solved, it won't be like this.

Lu Xihe thought so, and instructed the coachman: "Go to the Chu Palace." ”

The carriage slowly drove to the gate of the Chu Palace, and she got out of the car.

The guard at the door stopped her, "Chu Wangfu, don't enter the living." ”

She tightened her grip and said, "I have an urgent matter with His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”

Bai Xi happened to be passing by, and when he saw this uneasy person freezing at the door, he immediately ran over.

"Lord Lu, why are you here? Our prince is not in the mansion today, why don't you come back tomorrow? Bai Xi didn't dare to invite Lu Xihe into the mansion without authorization, so he had to prevaricate like this.

"In that case, I'll come back tomorrow." She turned and got into the carriage.

Bai Xi saw that the car was going away, and reprimanded the guard at the door: "This is a distinguished guest, don't slack off!" ”

After Lu Xihe returned to the Lu house, he only felt impetuous, and he couldn't concentrate on anything.

Ah Qing was cleaning the house, and Lu Xihe suddenly asked, "Ah Qing, do you know how to dance?" ”

"What kind of dance do you dance?" She put down the scroll and looked at Qing intently.

When Qing is nervous, she stammers, "Return... Miss Hui, slave... Slave basic... will be a little bit..."

Aqing was stunned for a moment, "Miss Hui, slave.. Slaves will be a little. ”

"What kind of dance do you dance?" She put down the scroll and looked at Qing intently.

When Qing is nervous, she stammers, "Return... Miss Hui, slave... Slave basic... will be a little bit..."

"How's the Water Sleeve Dance?" Lu Xihe asked.

Qing nodded, "Little... Miss, you learn... Have you studied? ”

"That's natural, I've been learning dance since I was a kid. It's just a few years, and I forgot about it. Her tone was not without regret.

"Since... Small... Miss studied, that... Easy to get... Many. Qing replied.

Lu Xihe instructed: "From today onwards, you will teach me the Water Sleeve Dance." I'll give you an extra silver tael. ”

A-Qing shook her head again and again, "Little... Miss, slave... Slaves and maids don't want silver, slaves and maids only... Just want to stay here. ”

Lu Xihe looked at her for a long time, "I won't drive you away." She assured.

A Qing finally showed a smile on her face, "Little... Miss, tonight... Just open... To get started? ”

"Not bad." Lu Xihe changed into his dance clothes by himself, "Let's start." ”

After practicing for about an hour, Lu Xihe was out of breath.

Dancing really should be consistent.

She hadn't skipped it in a few years, and now she was so rusty. Thinking of the scene where A-Qing was holding back her laughter, she felt that she couldn't get off the stage.

This is also the reason why she asked Aqing to teach her.

Lu Xihe didn't want others to see his jokes.

She recalled Ning Yan's expression when Shang Wanwan danced today, and suddenly she didn't feel good.

Isn't it just dancing? It's not like she won't.

Gong Wuming saw everything in his eyes, and was faintly worried in his heart, wouldn't it be a mistake to attach such a heavy touch?

But he still didn't talk much, and it wasn't something he should ask.

On the second day, she got up early and rushed to the Chu Palace, wanting to talk to Ning Yan.

When the guard at the gate saw that it was yesterday's "distinguished guest", he said politely: "Girl, you can come back another day." The prince did not return to the house yesterday. ”

"I see." She got into the carriage without the slightest hesitation.

The coachman immediately drove the carriage out of the territory of the Chu Palace.

Distance

One lowered the soft curtain of the carriage.

"Why bother?" Ning Yi happened to pass by here today, and he didn't expect to see this scene.

"Lord Wang, please persuade Miss." Impermanence persuaded.

Ning Yi put on an indifferent face, "Why do you want to persuade?" If she doesn't wake up herself, no one can help her. ”

"Lord Wang, you are not afraid that one day Miss She..."

"She's not that vulnerable." There was a hint of sarcasm on Ning Yi's delicate face, "She should have put a lot of effort into it in order to be able to get to where she is today." How can you give up so easily? ”

Day 3

Lu Xihe still got up early in the morning and was about to go to the Chu Palace.

Luluo looked at the snowfall outside and couldn't help but say, "Miss, otherwise forget it today." With such a heavy snowfall, the road is very slippery. ”

Lu Xihe wrapped his arms tightly, "It's not a way to drag it like this, things must always be made clear." With that, he walked into the snow.

The guards at the gate had already remembered the stubborn girl and looked at her with a look of embarrassment.

"Girl, our prince hasn't been here lately, or you..."

The door opened at dusk, Bai Xi was stunned on the spot, and Ning Yan behind him stood in the snow, looking at her wordlessly.

The guards did not dare to speak again.

Lu Xihe quietly looked at Ning Yan in the door, and neither of the two people moved.

"Go back, I need to calm down for a few days." He said.

Lu Xihe seemed to have expected this result in his heart, and nodded twice, "The prince is so calm, the people will retire." ”

She returned to the carriage with a stiff face, her voice barely warm, "Go back to Lu Zhai." ”

Green pothos cried with a sad face, "Miss, what can we do in the future..."

Lu Xihe shouted: "Stop." ”
