But the two people who were so gentle and gentle some time ago seemed to have something to do in the end. On the day of Lu Siguan's expedition, Liu Qingyan unexpectedly did not go to the city gate to see him off.

The army was ready to go, Lu Siguan was in armor, riding a maroon horse, and looked back at the city wall behind him, as if waiting for someone.

The crown prince came to see him off, standing in front of his horses, and saw him frowning slightly, a little surprised: "Lord, are you waiting for the princess?" She...... Is it because you are not feeling well that you will not come to see you off? ”

"No," Lu Siguan shook his head with a calm face, "She just doesn't want me to be reluctant." ”

"Master......" Lu Yujian's eyes were red, and he took a step forward.

Lu Si looked at him and sighed: "Your sister is too sensible, and I don't know what to say." But now I give you the task of taking care of her. In my absence, you are the only one left with your sister, and if she is bullied, you must help her. It doesn't matter who you were bullied by. ”

Lu Yujian nodded vigorously: "I will!" Master, don't worry, I won't let my sister be bullied by anyone! ”

Lu Si nodded: "That's good." Then I'll be relieved. ”

When it was time to leave, Lu Siguan took one last look behind him, Liu Qingyan still didn't appear, he sighed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Lord Wang!" A female voice called out to him behind him.

Lu Siguan turned around and saw Dashuang riding a horse in front of him, gasping for breath.

"Why are you here? What about the princess? Lu Siguan asked puzzled.

"The princess refuses to come, she just wants the slave to convey a few words to the prince for her," Dashuang paused for a moment and continued word by word, "The princess said that this time, she will not come to see you, the princess." If the prince thinks of her and wants to see her again, then fight a victory and finally go back to see her face safely. ”

Sure enough, it is Liu Qingyan's style, and this is the woman that Lu Siguan likes like crazy.

If it weren't for that, maybe Lu Siguan wouldn't have taken care of her, and only such Liu Qingyan could be worthy of his liking, and she would be qualified to marry him and be her princess.

Lu Siguan smiled: "Okay, you go back and tell the princess, and the king will come back to see her safely." also told her to protect herself, sometimes, she is already pregnant, so don't be too strong and too persistent. ”

Dashuang nodded: "Don't worry, the slave will definitely protect the princess." ”

"With you by her side, this king is naturally relieved." Lu Siguan smiled and turned away.

Lu Siguan didn't look back, he knew very well that behind him was the gate of the capital, because he was going to send the army out on the expedition, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to see him off, so the gate of the capital was wide open.

Above the city tower were the guards in array, Lu Siguan just didn't say anything, everyone thought that Liu Qingyan didn't come to see him, but he knew that it wasn't like that.

Liu Qingyan was on top of the city tower, and when Lu Siguan turned around by chance, he saw the corner of her flying sleeves.

It's not that she didn't come to see him, she also wanted to see Lu Siguan for the last time, but she didn't want Lu Siguan to care too much about her. So she didn't show up, but just asked Dashuang to convey a message: if you want to see her, then come back alive.

But she is here, and both of them know this.

When the army was gone, the prince and his guards turned around and were about to leave, and outside the city gate, they saw Liu Qingyan with a lonely face.

Everyone was a little surprised to see her. The prince asked, "Princess?" Didn't you not come? What are you...... Late? Didn't have time? ”

"Maybe it's really late, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't know, before dawn today, my master has already left the palace and gone to the army," Lu Yujian said on the side, "My sister has been pregnant recently, so naturally she can't get up early, so it's actually very normal for my sister to be late." ”

After speaking, he sighed, stepped forward, and said, "Sister, don't be too sad, just now Dashuang has come over to convey your meaning to the master, and the master said that he will come back alive to see you." ”

Liu Qingyan looked at him and smiled: "Actually, I'm not late, and I'm not late." I've been on the castle tower all the time. Don't you see me? ”

Lu Yujian was stunned: "What?" ”

The crown prince touched his chin: "Speaking of which, I really haven't noticed that the princess is on the city tower." ”

"It's normal that you didn't see it, I picked a good place to hide, and I glanced at the prince from afar, and I didn't want to get too close," Liu Qingyan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that I will cry in front of everyone, not only will I lose the face of the Qi Palace, but also because, I'm afraid that the prince will be reluctant to leave because of me, and he will not be willing to go to the frontier." ”

The crown prince sighed and said, "When the prince returns triumphantly, I will reward the Qi Palace...... For the sake of Great Wei, there are too many things to do in the Qi Palace......"

Liu Qingyan smiled: "The prince is really a winner, that's what we should do." There is no reward to speak of. ”

"You know that's what you're supposed to do?" The words of disdain sounded, it was Nangong Hui, whom Liu Qingyan hadn't seen for a long time.

She had been behind the prince just now, because she had changed her clothes and hair accessories, and Liu Qingyan didn't notice that she was still there for a while. As soon as she saw Nangong Hui, Liu Qingyan's face suddenly changed.

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh, why is she here? Isn't that embarrassing her?

The crown prince knew that there was a conflict between Liu Qingyan and Nangong Hui for a long time, he looked at Nangong Hui, lowered his voice, and said, "Hui'er, how can you say such things to Princess Qi?" Apologize quickly! ”

"Why apologize? That's what their Qi Mansion should do," Nangong Hui snorted coldly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you remember, over the years, how much money and treasures have flowed into their Qi Palace?" Could it be that when King Qi married this Lu Huaixiang, wasn't he extremely poor and extravagant? Their style has made many people staggered, thinking that it is too extravagant and too wasteful. ”

After a pause, Nangong Hui continued: "Now that the King of Qi is going to the frontier to deal with the Khitans, isn't that exactly what they should do? If they don't do it, that's how they should be. ”

"Hui'er!" The prince had a calm face and reprimanded in a low voice: "Isn't it that I've been too good to you recently, and you've become more and more arrogant?" What should be said and what should not be said, do you still need me to teach you? ”

"It's okay, His Royal Highness the Prince," Liu Qingyan said up, "Miss Nangong is right, we do have a lot of property in the Qi Palace, which also makes many people very unhappy, thinking that it is our Qi Palace's private pockets that we have done a lot of unsightly things." ”

This is indeed a fact, Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan also talked about it at the beginning, but Lu Siguan didn't think it was a big problem. He's used to it.

When the emperor trusted Lu Siguan very much, every time Lu Siguan did something, the emperor would praise him, and the reward could be worth the money of many other ministers for most of their lives. And Lu Siguan will basically accept it and put it at home.

Because Lu Siguan has won the emperor's favor, then there are some people in the court who see the wind and make the helm show extreme flattery to Lu Siguan, and they will fight hard and try their best to slap him. On weekdays, he teaches and receives privately, but Lu Siguan will never do such a thing. But those people also thought of something else.

That is, on Lu Siguan's birthday or when he married Liu Qingyan, he forced their blessings between the gifts, and even bought off his subordinates, so that Lu Siguan did not know.

This was discovered by Liu Qingyan later, and when she found it, the silver taels that were forced into it were no longer clear from the treasure.

Originally, the plan of those ministers was that they had already given gifts to Lu Siguan, so Lu Siguan would definitely promote them. But Lu Siguan never knew that there was such a thing, so he never made any definite moves.

And when Lu Siguan found out about this matter, the ministers who stuffed him with money and treasures were belittled or given to death by the emperor because of various things. In this way, Lu Siguan got a lot of money for no reason. This is a very distressing thing, Lu Siguan handed it over to others to do, and other people were also distressed and had headaches, and in the end, they simply didn't care.

As a result, there is a saying that Lu Siguan is rich and rivals the country.

It seems that in order to be unfavorable to the palace, Nangong Hui has also made special preparations. Not many people know about these things, even if they are Lu Yujian, Wang Zhao or Ghost Sorrow, they don't know either.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see, she has admitted it herself." Nangong Hui looked proud.

The prince frowned and reprimanded, "When did you come with you?" Didn't I tell you not to come with me? ”

Nangong Hui pouted and looked at him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you wouldn't have been so fierce to me before, why did you do this in front of Liu Qingyan?" ”

Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "After all, it is in the public court, and it is very difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do it if you are like this." ”

The prince glanced at Liu Qingyan and sighed, she is also a woman, why is Princess Qi so sensible and Nangong Hui so willful? The current Great Wei still has to rely on Lu Siguan, relying on the Qi Palace, whether it is rich or invincible, even if it is disrespectful to him, then he has to swallow his anger.

But Nangong Hui didn't understand this truth.

She noticed the prince's gaze, and immediately became angry in her heart, looked at Liu Qingyan, smiled coldly, and turned her gaze to her bulging lower abdomen: "Ah, Princess Qi, isn't she pregnant?" ”

As she spoke, she moved her body and threw herself towards Liu Qingyan with bad intentions!
