Chapter 540: Wait!
The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!
The Keju Contest in the capital, in previous years, there was no such momentum, and today's momentum is huge on the one hand because of the pinching between the princess's mansion and the city defense camp, and the two sides made a bet in front of the palace, which can be said to be full of gimmicks.
In addition, Emperor Xinde, who had not been involved in political affairs and did not participate in the activities of the imperial family for many years, showed a strong interest in the Keju Tournament, which is undoubtedly the main reason for the huge momentum of the Keju Tournament.
In order to prepare for this event, Gonggong Feng personally came forward to arrange the deployment, and hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids rotated like a marquee every day, which is comparable to the annual sacrificial ceremony.
Zhuang Xiaoxian's whole person has been boiling in blood these days, the matter of Xiyuan has long been spread in the circle of the powerful in the capital, Lu Zheng is in the prelude to the palace, and a tongue battle with the eldest princess can be said to be extremely exciting, the two agreed to win or lose with Keju, as a member of the Keju team, Zhuang Xiaoxian couldn't help but boil his blood when he thought of this.
From childhood to adulthood, he was bullied by Long Lingxiu, Long Lingxiu's woman was simply unreasonable, Zhuang Xiaoxian was really afraid of this woman, and at the same time he hated this woman in his heart. It's just that the other party is the princess, although Zhuang Xiaoxian is a treasure in the banker's house, and even the queen mother's old man dotes on him very much, but the identity of the princess is too noble, and he doesn't dare to give birth to the slightest revenge.
But now the opportunity has come, what he doesn't dare to do Lu Zheng dares to do, Zhuang Xiaoxian can't imagine that when the city defense battalion defeats the princess's mansion, it can't be a lifetime, the high-ranking Long Lingxiu bows his head in front of the civil and military officials, if there is really a moment, Zhuang Xiaoxian feels that he will remember it for a lifetime, he doesn't do anything else in his life, just do this one thing is great!
This kind of place in the palace is very mysterious to other people, but Zhuang Xiaoxian is very familiar with this place, after he entered the palace, he went straight to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and along the way he was thinking about how he should tell the imperial aunt and grandmother about the upcoming Keju competition.
He, Zhuang Xiaoxian, is one of the twenty-five members of the city defense battalion Keju team! He felt that the imperial aunt and grandmother would be very happy when they found out about this!
Who said that he Zhuang Xiaoxian is not a man? There are 3,000 strong men in the city defense battalion, and he is qualified to be one of the twenty-five, which alone is enough to show that he is no worse than the others!
Zhuang Xiaoxian thought so in his heart, and ran into the grandmother of Cining Palace and glanced at him, he frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when he heard the voice of the Queen Mother inside:
"The women of my royal family must abide by the rules of the harem, Lord Lu Zheng is the first talent of my Dakang, the emperor attaches great importance to him, he is not only highly talented, but also said to be able to manage the army, the so-called civil and military all-rounder. How unreasonable is it that you should want to put such a pillar of the nation to death because of your children's selfish motives! Lingxiu, this palace didn't wronged you, right? ”
When Zhuang Xiaoxian heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he had never seen the imperial aunt and grandmother angry! I didn't expect the imperial aunt and grandmother to get angry, it turned out to be so terrible. By the way, inside is the eldest princess Long Lingxiu, this woman is ready to take revenge, and she actually wants to kill Lord Lu, no wonder her temper is as good as the imperial aunt and grandmother, and she can't help but get angry and scold her.
"Imperial grandmother, listen to me, Lingxiu doesn't have that kind of mind at all. The resources in Lingxiu's hands are only in the harem, and Lingxiu tries to avoid the discord between several brothers.
Lu Zheng's son is young, although he is very talented, he has offended a lot of people, and he blatantly does not take the prince and the king of Qin in his eyes. At present, most of the hundred officials in the imperial court are attached to the king of Qin, the crown prince, and the emperor's grandmother, in such a situation, what is impossible for someone to do extreme things? "The eldest princess forcibly quibbles, where is she willing to admit what she did?
Empress Dowager Zhuang is benevolent by nature, and she is already lenient when she is in charge of the harem, hearing Long Lingxiu say this, she sighed and said: "Lingxiu, I won't say anything else, just talk about yourself!" Do you still think you are a woman in your prime? You're a mother!
For so many years, people outside have not been able to say anything because of your identity, but you committed a wrong, it is a shame for our royal family, you know?
Look at your recent behavior, you should be an elder in front of Lord Lu Zheng, but do you look like an elder? You're so embarrassed to be thrown home! Your father is very dissatisfied with you, and it is said that your grandmother is usually too tolerant and indulgent to you! ”
Long Lingxiu lowered her head, her heart was really uncomfortable, she could quibble about many things, but she couldn't quibble about losing face, and it was true that her high-ranking eldest princess was embarrassed by the gaffe in front of the emperor. With His Majesty's acumen, he will definitely not be satisfied, otherwise the Empress Dowager Gongzhuang would not have called her over to reprimand.
Long Lingxiu thought of all this, and for a while he was really uncomfortable like eating a fly, saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, everything was given by Lu Zheng......
After being reprimanded, Long Lingxiu was finally able to return to the palace, she retired from the Empress Dowager Zhuang and came out to bump into Zhuang Xiaoxian head-on. This stupid and stupid boy looks honest, but in fact, the look between his eyebrows is obviously very high, and he is clearly proud! The fire in Long Lingxiu's heart was really irrepressible, and he really had the urge to slap Zhuang Xiaoxian.
"Temple...... Your Highness, I ...... I didn't hear anything, I really didn't hear anything! Zhuang Xiaoxian stammered, a little nervous, a little incoherent.
It's good that he didn't speak, such an explanation made Long Lingxiu even more embarrassed, her slap really fell, isn't that even more embarrassing?
……
The Lu family's courtyard, which is now Lu Zheng's private residence, is a very hidden and private place, because of the careful management of the boy, this house has a good atmosphere.
It's going to be a Keju contest soon, Lu Zheng is calm, but the three women in the family are chattering non-stop, they have heard the rumors outside, and this Keju contest is a big gamble between Lu Zheng and the eldest princess, if Lu Zheng loses the bet, he may face some kind of embarrassing end, anyway, the rumors outside are very fierce, and the three daughters in the family are naturally involved in it.
Especially Dai Xiaojing, she didn't know anything about Keju, but recently she has made up a lot of Keju knowledge, and she has become a little Keju expert.
The boy quietly walked to Lu Zheng's side, Lu Zheng nodded at him and the two entered the study, Lu Zheng sat down slowly, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"There is news from Your Majesty's side, this retreat is said to be Your Majesty's refining of the Immortal Pill, after this Pill, Your Majesty's cultivation will be great, and I am afraid that the time for closed-door alchemy in the future will not be as much as before!" Tong Zi Dao.
"Huh? Is this news serious? Lu Zheng sat up suddenly, very surprised in his heart, the news of the boy was nothing at first glance, but it was not trivial to taste the product carefully.
For so many years, Emperor Xinde has not been very concerned about political affairs, and the courtiers and even the people of the Dakang Dynasty have a habit of this, and they are used to this situation, but what if one day, the situation suddenly changes, and Emperor Xinde returns? Does this mean that the subjects of the Great Kang Dynasty need to readapt, and this is a blessing or a curse for Lu Zheng?
Lu Zheng instantly turned a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he also thought of a point, if this is the case, then the people around His Majesty may not have much value, not that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook, but that Lu Zheng, as a modern person, will not believe in the so-called elixir of life at all.
Since there is no elixir, what effect can the so-called elixir in Emperor Xinde's hands have? It seems that after so many years of cultivation, the people who accompanied Emperor Xinde to guide him in cultivation estimated that they were exhausted and couldn't go on.
"Childe, this time the princess's mansion is really moving, the eldest princess jumped like thunder in the princess's mansion, it is said that more than ten people were killed with a cane, and the juju hands of the princess's mansion are like frightened birds, they are not only juju during the day, but also practice at night, for them if they lose the juju competition this time, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved!" The boy changed the subject.
He paused and continued: "Childe, the juju hands in the princess's mansion are all first-class good hands of Dakang, if these people are lax or degenerate, the city defense battalion may have a good chance to face them, but now they are all in good spirits, with their strength will inevitably pose a great threat to the city defense battalion, this victory is really not high." In this case, can Childe consider making plans early? ”
"Oh? Boy, you don't have confidence in me! Okay, if you don't win, you should think about defeat first, how do you plan early? Let me hear what you mean? Lu Zheng said lightly.
The boy smiled awkwardly and said, "Childe, don't blame me for not being optimistic about you, even the young grandmother thinks you are dangerous." In addition, the shadow girl and the little slave girl also think that you are more than lucky. Speaking of good methods, at this time, Childe can go to the Silent Garden, and at a critical time, Lord Lu can become the Dinghai God Needle! ”
Lu Zheng shook his head and said: "Don't go, don't go, don't go anywhere, I'm only going to prepare for the upcoming event." You, don't believe me, but believe in Xiao Jing, they are women's opinions, can they be true and counted? Lu Zheng pretended to be angry, but there was a smile on his face.
Is he confident in the Kemari Tournament? Where does Lu Zheng have any confidence, this is the same as the football game in later generations, football is round, and anything can happen.
However, Lu Zheng is not anxious in his heart, because this is also a long-lost experience for him, just like watching the football World Cup final in later generations, full of challenges and suspense, full of all kinds of uncertainties, this feeling is actually the most exciting, this is the charm of football, but also the charm of Keju!
Come on, the victory or defeat and even life and death are left to the heavens in the dark to decide, Lu Zheng's adrenaline is secreting rapidly, and the rolling passion is surging in his heart......
