When An Xiabai returned to Kunning Palace, the scene he saw was Yang Xiao and Lu Fang sitting together, Yang Xiao's expression was not very good-looking, and Lu Fang was smiling, a maid brought tea, and wanted to pour tea for Yang Xiao, but Lu Fang didn't know what was going on, so he took the initiative to snatch the task of pouring tea.

When did the two of them become so familiar?

An Xiabai stepped forward with a puzzled smile: "It turns out that the two of you actually know each other." ”

"yes—"

"I don't know!"

Yang Xiao and Lu Fang opened their mouths in unison, but the content of the words was diametrically opposite, and such an interesting reaction aroused An Xiabai's curiosity even more.

"Do you recognize each other?"

In the face of the facts, Yang Xiao finally lowered his head: "I know, but I am not familiar with it." ”

If it weren't for Yang Xiao's bad face, especially when he mentioned Lu Fang, his expression was as if he wanted to beat Lu Fang hard, An Xia Bai really wanted to ask how the two of them met.

"Ah Xiao, didn't you go to the embassy to talk to Princess Lily of the Valley, why did you come back now, did Princess Lily of the Valley not give you face, she embarrassed you?"

Speaking of Princess Lily of the Valley, the expression on Yang Xiao's face was a little heavier.

"I came here today to talk about Princess Lily of the Valley, Niangniang, in fact, you were deceived by her."

An Xiabai was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Xiao did not answer An Xiabai's question directly, but turned his gaze to Lu Fang, meaning to let An Xia Bai send Lu Fang away.

Lu Fang is such a smart person, how could he not see her thoughts, turned his head to An Xiabai and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Weichen is loyal to you, you just look at Weichen's loyalty to you, let Weichen listen!" You also know Wechen's ability, maybe when he encounters a problem later, Wechen can still have an idea1"

An Xiabai also had this idea in his heart.

She looked at Yang Xiao apologetically, and the latter had no choice but to suppress the reluctance in her heart.

"After I went to the embassy to meet Princess Lily of the Valley today, Princess Lily of the Valley did not embarrass me because of her illness, on the contrary, the two of us still talked very happily, but that was a matter of the front, and when I got to the back, the topic gradually became crooked, Princess Lily of the Valley didn't know where to find out my identity, and actually asked me about the layout of the military camp and how to make the military plaster....... Of course, I didn't tell her about these things, but I don't think Princess Lily of the Valley is as simple as you seem on the surface. ”

Would a naïve and innocent person ask so many questions?

An Xiabai thought so: "Ah Xiao, your concerns are not wrong, I should have seen the wrong person before." ”

Lu Fang, who had been sitting next to him and listening quietly without interjecting, suddenly opened his mouth at this critical moment: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with your thoughts, Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the princess, I also saw her on the street yesterday, she is not a bad person, and she is a very pure and good person." ”

Yang Xiao frowned: "A good person who is pure and good will ask me about the layout of the palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, An Xiabai showed a surprised expression: "What, she is so bold as to ask you about the layout of the palace?" ”

"Exactly, she inquired about a lot of things, but I was measured, and I didn't disclose any important things, and I refused all of them with no knowing."

An Xia Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Lu Fang on the side touched his cheek and said, "This person's face is indeed a pure and good person, it is impossible to have a scheming, and let me calculate a hexagram." Lu Fang closed her eyes, said something thoughtful, and finally suddenly opened her eyes and said, "The key to the matter lies with her mother." ”

Before An Xiabai could speak, Yang Xiao next to him opened his mouth: "Divine stick." ”

Lu Fang, who was disgusted again, smiled good-natured and said: "No matter how I came up with this method, the important thing is that this method works, Queen Mother, you should send someone to investigate what kind of character the princess's mother is, maybe you can find out the flaws in it." ”

An Xiabai nodded: "I'll let people check." ”

Because this matter is more important, An Xiabai specially asked Fanghua to go to the imperial study to invite Lu Li.

When Fanghua came to the imperial study, Lu Li was discussing the government with the courtiers, and when he saw Fanghua in a blink of an eye, he realized that An Xiabai was looking for him.

The young king's face was a little more joyful: "The queen asked you to come?" ”

Fanghua responded: "The queen mother instructed the slave maid to ask Your Majesty to come over." ”

"I'll be over in a moment."

The conversation between Fanghua and Lu Li was naturally heard by the ministers, and they all looked at each other one by one, as if they had heard something terrible, all of them looked indignant.

And so it is again! This is the first time this month, Your Majesty and the queen have a good relationship is indeed a good thing that helps the stability of the society, but the relationship is a bit too good to this extent, and now His Majesty clearly puts the queen first, and the beauty in history puts the beauty first in his heart, that is all faint!

The thought that the king to whom they were loyal was slowly developing in the direction of the faint monarch gave the ministers a feeling of pain.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say if I have a word!"

Lu Li's eyebrows raised slightly: "You said yes." ”

Hearing the minister say angrily: "Your Majesty has abandoned the government for the queen mother three times and twice, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the country will not be a country!" Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there are countless stories of beauties misleading the country written in the history books, why didn't you take to heart the profound lessons summed up by the sages, Your Majesty! Aren't you, Your Majesty, worried that if you continue like this, it will bring infamy to both you and the queen? ”

Lu Li, who was inexplicably beaten, only felt strange: "When did I abandon the government?" ”

The old minister immediately gave several examples, and then said word by word that Lu Li was not concerned about the affairs of the imperial court.

Lu Li said with a smile: "You Aiqing really misunderstood me, I have never had the idea of abandoning the government, and I left the court before purely to give those newly appointed officials a chance to perform, not to be picked up by the queen." ”

"And what about this time?"

It was about An Xiabai's reputation, so Lu Li was very serious, and when someone asked, he explained to the other party very seriously.

"This time it's because of Princess Lily of the Valley, you Aiqing should know about the princess sent by Liang Guo to come to make peace, because I didn't agree to their request, so Princess Lily of the Valley has stayed in the capital and hasn't left yet. In the past two days, the queen has captured clues related to Princess Lily of the Valley, and thinks that Princess Lily of the Valley is secretly investigating the layout of the military camp and the deployment of the palace troops. ”

In this way, it seems that An Xiabai is indeed standing on the truth.

How loud the opposition is, how embarrassed the ministers are now.

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

Lu Li was not humble at all and accepted their praise for An Xiabai: "I also think that the queen Shengming, okay, you Aiqing have been discussing the government with me in the imperial study for so long, you must be tired, let's stop here today, it is already evening, maybe the wives of your Aiqing's family are already looking forward to it, you Aiqing should go back quickly." ”

Lu Li said, turned around and walked out directly.

In the imperial study behind him, the courtiers knelt down: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

When Lu Li hurried all the way to Kunning Palace, where An Xiabai lived, An Xiabai was talking to Yang Xiao with a smile, and the thing that surprised him the most was that Lu Fang was actually there.

"Lord Lu?"

Lu Fang hurriedly got up and saluted, and then whispered to justify his behavior: "Weichen came with Miss Yang. ”

Hey, Lu Fang actually met Yang Xiao? Lu Li was strange in his heart, but he didn't ask, because at the moment, something more important than Lu Fang and Yang Xiao was in front of him.

"Queen, why did you send Fanghua to invite me over?"

An Xia Bai frowned and told Lu Li about Yang Xiao's going to persuade Princess Lily of the Valley today, and Lu Li frowned when he heard it.

He didn't expect Princess Lily of the Valley, who looked so stupid, to have a little bit of a scheming.

Lu Fang was afraid that An Xiabai would miss his suggestion, so he reminded Lu Li and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Princess Lily of the Valley has a weakness, that is, her mother, Weichen pinched his fingers and calculated that Princess Lily of the Valley has deep feelings for her mother, maybe Your Majesty and the Queen Mother can cut in from this aspect." ”

"This is a solution, Liang Guo happened to have two eyeliners, and I will let them inquire about the news in the palace of Liang Guo."

After everything was arranged, the time turned to the meal.

Yang Xiao and An Xiabai have such a good relationship, so they naturally want to stay for dinner, and Lu Fang, as a thick-skinned debater, naturally stays. Delicious dishes were served on the table, everyone sat down in turn, during the banquet, Lu Li, who doted on his wife like his life, kept giving An Xia Bai vegetables, An Xia Bai also smiled in return, and the interaction between the husband and wife stimulated Lu Fang's eyes red.

"Your Majesty! Wechen wants to ask His Majesty for a gift! ”

Halfway through the meal, Lu Fang suddenly fell to his knees, which startled the others in the banquet.

As a king who was not shocked, Lu Li quickly adjusted his emotions: "Lord Lu, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

"Weichen wants to ask His Majesty for marriage!"

An Xiabai suddenly became interested: "Speaking of which, Lord Lu is indeed the age when it is time to start a family, but I don't know, Lord Lu, which famous lady on Jingcheng Road have you taken a fancy to?" ”

Lu Fang knelt on the ground, his eyes glanced in the direction of Yang Xiao before he spoke: "She is not a famous lady. ”

"Not a famous lady? So what is her identity? What is your name? Where do you live? ”

"Far away, close at hand."

As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, almost everyone's eyes turned to Yang Xiao, there were two women in the banquet, Anxia Baigui was the queen, and Lu Fang couldn't ask the emperor to marry the queen even if he had hundreds of guts, right? The only possibility is that Lu Fang is interested in Yang Xiao.

When everyone else was stunned, Lu Fang smiled and said, "Actually, I went down the mountain this time just to marry Miss Yang." ”
