This time, the Chen delegation came to Chu, nominally there was an errand to ask for relatives, and Tang Ning, as a marriage envoy and envoy to ask for relatives, wrote to the palace, which was very normal and reasonable.

But what he didn't expect was that after he came for the first time and revealed his identity, he still ate here behind closed doors, not only did he not even drink a cup of tea, but he didn't even enter the gate of King Xin's mansion.

Li Tianlan has been out for a year and a half, and it is naturally the guard's prevarication, which shows that there are people in the palace of King Xin who don't want him to see her.

This person is very likely to be the king of faith who was in power in Chu for a while.

However, it is not a good thing that King Shin did not let him come to the door.

This is very likely to show that he does not support Li Tianlan to marry Chen Guo, and King Xin's weight in the court is extremely heavy, if he does not agree, this matter will definitely be difficult to achieve, which is in line with Tang Ning's intentions.

The only regret is that I haven't seen Li Tianlan for more than a year, and I don't know if she is thin or fat......

Zhao Man sat opposite him with his chin propped up and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Tang Ning came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing. ”

When the man said "nothing", it was "what is there", thinking of what she saw in the book, Zhao Man blinked her eyes and asked, "Commander Lu said that you went out just now, what did you go out for?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Go meet a friend." ”

Zhao Man looked at him and asked, "Did you see it?" ”

Tangning shook his head, "No." ”

"Why haven't I heard you say that you still have friends in Chu State." Zhao Man looked into his eyes and asked, "Is it a woman?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Is it pretty?"

“……”

Tang Ning didn't answer, Zhao Man didn't ask, and asked again: "Are you very familiar?" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "It's just familiar......

……

Pufu Temple.

Pufu Temple is located outside of Kyoto, about ten miles away from the city, the perennial incense in the temple is prosperous, in addition to the ordinary people, the princes and nobles of Kyoto, also often go to the temple to pray for blessings.

Pufu Temple, in a secluded Buddhist hall.

A richly dressed woman knelt on a futon, folded her hands, and knelt silently.

Not far from her, the young woman leaned against the incense table, fiddling with a stick holder on the table, a little absent-minded.

"Lan Lan, what are you doing?"

It wasn't until a voice came from the side that she came back to her senses and asked, "Are you going back?" ”

The woman looked at her and said, "Distracting in the Buddha hall is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, what do you think?" ”

"Nothing." Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

The woman looked at her and asked, "What do you have in your hand?" ”

Li Tianlan lowered her head, only to find that when she was distracted just now, she casually pulled out a stick from the stick.

She was about to put it back, but the woman took it from her hand, looked at it, and murmured, "What kind of sign is this, seeing this beloved...... tonight?" ”

An old monk said with a smile: "Back to the princess, the county lord, the meaning of signing the document is that those who win this sign can meet the person they meet in the near future, or the friend who has been thinking about it for a long time, or the lover who is worried about it in their hearts......"

Li Tianlan threw it back and said: "If everything in the world is destined by signatures, and all the good things are put into it, wouldn't it be all good things in the world?" ”

"In front of the Bodhisattva, how can you speak......" The woman glanced at her, immediately clasped her hands together, and muttered to the Bodhisattva statue in the hall: "Lan Lan is young and ignorant, Bodhisattva, don't blame, don't blame ......"

……

East Palace.

As soon as the crown prince of Chu State stepped out of the palace gate, someone chased him out from the rear and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, no, absolutely not, if he is seen by the imperial history, His Royal Highness will be impeached again!" ”

"The crown princess of this palace, you can see it if you want to see it in this palace, who dares to stop me?" The crown prince of Chu waved his hand and said, "Let them be impeached if they are impeached, I want to see how long they can be proud?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't be dissuaded, the man said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, even if you want to see you, change into civilian clothes and let the guards take you to see it secretly, so that you can cause less trouble." ”

The young man stood at the door of the East Palace, thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, although the palace is not afraid of them, but it is also annoyed by flies." ”

He walked back and said, "Call a few people, and follow me to the Splendid Palace in a while." ”

In the Splendid Palace, by the lake, Tang Ning and Zhao Man held the fishing rod and sat by the lake, and it had been a long time, and the fish had not been hooked.

Zhao Man said a few days ago that he wanted to fish, and today he found that there was a lake in this splendid palace, and Tang Ning had made a nest an hour ago, but now, two quarters of an hour have passed, and there is not even a fish to bite the hook.

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It seems that there are no fish in this lake, let's go back." ”

Zhao Man held the fishing rod, shook his head, and said indifferently: "There are no fish, there are no fish, let's sit here and talk." ”

Downing tossed the hook a little farther away and asked, "Say what?" ”

Zhao Man looked at him and smiled, "Tell me about your friend." ”

“……”

"What's her name?"

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Li Tianlan." ”

"Li Tianlan......" Zhao Man thought about it, only felt that this name was a little familiar, and only remembered it after a while, and said in surprise: "The friend you said is the Changning County Lord of Chu State?" ”

Tangning nodded.

Zhao Man clenched the fishing rod in his hand and asked, "How did you meet?" ”

The acquaintance with Li Tianlan was just a coincidence, and later the-for-tat at the Luming banquet was regarded as not knowing each other, and then in the later street attack, she took a righteous action and almost endangered her life, and the two became real friends of life and death.

Later, after gradually getting acquainted with this, I found that on many things, the views of the two are surprisingly consistent, even the things they like to eat are the same, and the compatibility is extremely high, similar to the mountains and flowing water, and the friends of Guan Bao......

It is rare to have a confidant in life, and nationality is not a reason why they cannot become a confidant.

Zhao Man held his chin with one hand, with a look of envy, and muttered: "It turns out that you have known each other so early, and she has saved your life......"

She looked at Tang Ning again and asked, "Isn't she beautiful?" ”

"It's beautiful." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Probably as beautiful as you." ”

The momentary look of loss on Zhao Man's face quickly turned into joy, and at this moment, Tang Ning turned his head sharply and said loudly: "Who! ”

Several figures approached from behind.

Zhao Man's palace maid sent the guards elsewhere, and Tang Ning didn't know any of these people.

Those few people didn't expect that there were still people in such a remote place by the lake, so that they had just turned in from the outside and exposed their tracks.

Zhao Man's palace maid was already shouting for the guards, among the five people, the faces of the four people in the back changed, and the one in the front looked at Tang Ning, then at Zhao Man, and said, "Who are you two, what are you doing here?" ”

Unexpectedly, the other party actually shouted to catch the thief, Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The young man looked at him arrogantly with his hands behind his back and said, "Ben ......"

He said a word, and his voice changed again, "Who do you care about me?" ”

A young general led a team of Praetorian guards to run over quickly, waving his hand, "Take down these assassins for me!" ”

As the guards approached, the four men behind the young man drew their weapons and protected him.

"Dare to resist!" The young general waved his hand and said, "Those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

"Bold!" One of them stepped forward, looked at the young general, and said loudly: "This is the prince of the East Palace!" ”

"Dare to pretend to be the prince!" The young general kicked him away and said angrily: "How can the prince come here, take them all!" ”

The young man was furious and said in a loud voice: "Presumptuous, this palace is the prince, don't put down your weapons quickly!" ”

"What a boldness, sneaking into the princess's bedroom, and daring to pretend to be the prince!" The young general kicked over and waved his hand: "Hit me!" ”

Although the four of them were very skilled, their two fists were difficult to beat the four hands, and they were quickly caught.

Only the young man was holding his head, bearing punches and kicks, and shouting: "This palace is really a prince, bold, you are so bold!" ”

"Dare to say that you are the crown prince!" The young man kicked him again and asked, "Say, who are you and what are you doing here!" ”

"I'm the crown prince!"

The young general flew up and kicked: "Say! ”

The young man hugged his head and said, "I am really the prince!" ”

"Stubborn!" The young general snorted coldly, and kicked again, "Who are you!" ”

"I'm the crown prince!"

"I'm the crown prince!"

……

After receiving countless kicks, the young man finally let go of his hand and said weakly: "I am not the prince......

"Not the Prince?" The young general looked at him and waved his hand: "You dare to pretend to be the prince and call me!" ”
