Verse 86: The seed planted by the king of Chu
The two of them bowed to the King of Chu in an orderly manner, without feeling the slightest disrespect. The reason for this is that www.biquge.info both of them are cultivators, so they don't have to kneel and bow like white clothes without official positions.
At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, the Son of Heaven issued an edict that as long as the cultivator did not matter the realm or the identity, he could enjoy special exceptions. There is no need to pay a big salute to the princes of the Son of Heaven, and there is no need to do business like ordinary people, as long as you report your identity in the real hall. Of course, the price is to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, guard the four poles of heaven and earth for the Son of Heaven, and open peace for mortals.
It's just that when Zong Xiazi lost the right to command the princes, the once lively and prosperous Zhentang disappeared into the dust, and many rules and etiquette turned into dust. However, the special cases that cultivators can enjoy have not changed until now. Continued in the various vassal states. This is not only the fear of the princes of various countries for the cultivators, but also the means for the princes of various countries to win over the cultivators, so as to ensure the strength of their own country.
King Chu's gaze has been on Lu Qiqian, this true dragon of the Lu family, the marquis of X county who was personally crowned by himself, although he has seen it in the Qinzheng Palace. It's just that he cared about other places at the time, and he didn't look at it carefully, but now he looks at it from such a distance, which makes the King of Chu also sigh at the upbringing and etiquette of the Lu family.
"What a true dragon of the Lu family," King Chu sighed with a smile.
Lu Qiqian responded with a smile, "Compared with the king Wen Taowu Liu, the kid is just a frog at the bottom of the well"
When the king of Chu heard this, he burst out laughing, followed by a violent cough. The green finch beside him hurriedly stroked the back of the King of Chu to soothe the pain of the King of Chu. It's just that his eyes have been on Lu Qikun, staring at the young man he has been thinking about for a long time.
The time spent in the Lu family was the happiest and carefree time for Qingque.
"The widow is old, no matter how dormant your true dragon is, one day it will soar above the clouds for nine days," King Chu sighed sincerely.
Although Lu Qiqian's words were very modest, he was belittling himself and exalting the king of Chu. But the king of Chu didn't know that it was just modesty and courtesy. Especially in such close contact, the King of Chu can clearly see the confidence and pride in the eyes of the other party, like the person who makes the King of Chu afraid and admire.
Lu Qiqian smiled silently, quietly waiting for the next step of the King of Chu. Blind modesty and courtesy is pride, and it will also make people disgusted and disliked, so Lu Qiqian is extremely measured.
"You are the first in the front of the palace this year, but you are also very clear that you can't enter the sacrificial holy place as in previous years, so the widow decided to compensate you and allow you to enter the public room at will" The king of Chu threw out the tempting fruit and continued, "You can choose one of the official and the three courtyards when you enter the court."
Lu Qiqian's smile became even brighter after hearing this, and his eyes were brighter than the stars. It was too tempting for the king of Chu to propose such conditions, especially the possibility of entering the public collection room. As for the crown prince and Qingque, they were extremely shocked and puzzled, why their father would give such tempting conditions.
The collection room of the office is the heritage and history of the office of the state of Chu. There are tens of thousands of precious ancient books and Taoist books in it, and there is even no lack of sacred feelings of the Chu kings of the Chu Kingdom. And the most important thing is that it contains the name and utensils that were actually borrowed from Zongxia during the period of King Chuzhuang.
Therefore, only the king of Chu and the old man of Chu can enter and exit the public collection room at will, and the children of the public office, including the favored princess like Qingque, only have one chance to enter the public collection room, unless you have made great contributions to the office, you can have the opportunity to enter it again.
Qingque and the crown prince were not stupid people, and they quickly thought of the intention of the king of Chu to do this. The prince's body suddenly trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists with extreme anger. It's just that this anger is in the heart, not expressed in the face or demeanor.
The king of Chu naturally knew the prince's anger, but seeing the prince's joy and anger was invisible, it still made the king of Chu very satisfied.
As for Qingque, his face was instantaneous, even if Xiu Mudian was as warm as spring, he couldn't suppress the coldness in his heart. Looking up at Lu Qikun's reaction, seeing that it was just calm and indifferent, Qingque suddenly felt extremely lost and aggrieved.
Lu Qiqian saluted and said, "Thank you for your love, the kid chose to enter the public office, the collection room and the three courtyards"
The King of Chu nodded and was very satisfied with the choice made by Lu Qiqian, although he did not say what he thought in his heart, Lu Qiqian still chose the answer he wanted. As for whether Lu Qiqian guessed that there was any conspiracy, it was not something that the King of Chu needed to worry about, after all, the fruit thrown out was tempting and it was difficult for the other party to refuse.
"As the heir of the Lu family, you have made the widow very satisfied," King Chu appreciated.
Lu Qiqian saluted and said, "Thank you for your praise"
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding to compliment each other, and as for the conspiracy in the heart of the King of Chu and the thoughts guessed by Lu Qiqian, only the two of them knew it.
The king of Chu looked at Qingque and said, "Yue'er, send the Lu family true dragon for my father."
Qingque nodded silently and looked at Lu Qikun, but the other party still didn't react, and what happened had nothing to do with him. Qingque suddenly became aggrieved and sad, got up and came to Lu Qiqian's side, and said softly with a smile, "Qiqian, please"
Qingque's actions made the king of Chu and the crown prince react differently, the king of Chu smiled silently and was obviously satisfied with his daughter's behavior, while the prince was angry and stared at the indifferent Lu Qikun. It's just that in view of the fact that this is the Xiu Mu Palace, the prince is not good at making out-of-the-ordinary moves, so he can only look at Lu Qikun angrily.
Lu Qiqian and Qingque walked out of the Xiu Mu Hall cordially, like a pair of people who have been in love for many years.
"You don't have anything to say," King Chu looked at Lu Qikun and smiled after waiting for the two to leave.
It's just that the King of Chu's smile for Lu Qiqian and Lu Qikun is completely different, he appreciates and is satisfied with Lu Qiqian, as if his father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and he laughs and plays with Lu Qikun.
Lu Qikun said calmly, "Boy, there is no dissatisfaction"
"Oh, you mean it," King Chu replied unexpectedly Lu Qikun.
Thinking of the pain in Lu Qikun's eyes before, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Lu Qikun nodded and said, "The kid's true words." ”
"Then what do you think of the Marquis of X County and Princess Qingque," King Chu asked playfully.
wanted to stimulate Lu Qikun in turn, but King Chu was very disappointed. Lu Qikun is still unwavering, and he hasn't even changed his eyes. made the king of Chu have to doubt whether the situation he got was true or false.
"A good couple," Lu Qikun replied.
King Chu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his thin appearance was extremely ugly, and he couldn't figure out the other party's indifference at all.
"The widow has allowed you to enter the Third Courtyard, but there is one condition," the King of Chu immediately spoke.
Since you can't figure it out, then there's no need, just achieve your own goals. And this time he summoned Lu Qiqian and Lu Qikun to rest in the palace, it can be said that his goal has been achieved. As for the final result of this seed planted in the soil, it is unknown.
