Lin Ying saw that Shu'er was silently pinching a rouge box, and it seemed that she was not only angry with him, but also forbid him not to have a seizure. Lin Ying's heart was hot, she stopped playing, suddenly had a headache, and said, "Oh, why does my head hurt again?" ”

Shu'er put down the rouge box in her hand and was about to ask, only to hear Duguqing's maidservant preemptively say, "Is Mr. Su uncomfortable?" Do you want to announce a doctor to take a look? ”

Lin Ying rubbed her temples, closed her eyes and said, "No, no, I just have been painting day and night for the past few days, and I just need to catch up on sleep." Then, like a wilting plant, it suddenly propped itself up on the table and rubbed several boxes of rouge and gouache to the ground. Several palace maids quickly picked it up cherishedly and put it in their sleeves one after another.

Duguqing said: "Mr. Su is indeed too tired these days, and we often come here to disturb, which is really rude." Listen to the piano, let's change the day! Hong'er, let your sisters clean up this table, and we'll take our leave. ”

Lin Ying frowned and said, "It should be me who is rude." But he no longer mentioned playing the piano for Princess Zhao.

Dugu Qing asked: "It stands to reason that the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce has been completed, and Brother Wang will send someone to send the fifty taels of silver ingots and ten acres and two days of land deeds tomorrow, and after the two of them receive the reward, they will leave for Chen Kingdom, right?" ”

Lin Ying pointed to Shu'er, whose face was already relaxed, and said to Duguqing: "Our itinerary is all up to her." ”

Shu'er said: "After receiving the reward tomorrow, it is inconvenient to bother in the Ninghe Palace, so I really want to leave." ”

Duguqing nodded and said, "Then I'll come to see you off tomorrow." Although I still hope that you can stay longer, after all, you also have your own things to do, and I can't persuade you to stay again and again. ”

Lin Ying staggered up and saluted, "It's a long time coming." "It's concise and to the point, but it's very different from the kind and lovely appearance just now.

Shu'er didn't expect Lin Ying to change her attitude so bluntly, and suddenly blamed herself and felt that the princess of Zhao Kingdom and the palace maids didn't seem to have done anything wrong. They may just come to visit "Mr. Su", who they have admired for a long time, but they were scared away by her handful of evil fires, and they really couldn't help it. Shu'er apologized with a pleasant face: "In the future, during the New Year's holidays, we will definitely send someone to send the new products of Biliang Cosmetics Shop to Zhao Palace to honor the princess and sisters." The next festival, probably Tanabata? Every year on Tanabata we have a new product, and during Tanabata, the princess and sisters will be able to receive our gifts. This year is only the first year of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, maybe next year, we can still meet in Pingliang. ”

Duguqing said: "That's naturally the best." So he took more than a dozen palace maids and hurriedly said goodbye to Shu'er and Lin Ying.

Lin Ying's headache pretended to be half-true, although Shu'er knew that he was mostly pretending, she still asked with concern: "Xiaoying, do you have a bad headache?" ”

Lin Ying rubbed her temples and squeaked and said, "Amazing, amazing, the brain is collapsing and cracking, and the world is spinning." Sister Shu'er, come and rub it for me. ”

Shu'er sighed helplessly, and was about to reach out to rub his acupuncture points, but Lin Ying suddenly stood up with a smile and said, "I'm not as delicate as I was when I was a child. He quickly pulled up Shu'er's sleeve again, and said mysteriously: "Let's go, let's hurry up and follow and listen to what the princess of Zhao Guo is thinking." She has been coming to our courtyard frequently as a princess of a country these days, if she falls in love with one of us and wants to accept it as a colt, it will be a big deal! ”

Puzzled, Shu'er asked, "So what?" Big deal, I told her I was a woman. As for you...... Anyway, Aunt Su has long wanted to give you Zhang Luo's family business, instead of marrying those rich ladies of Chen Guo, it is better to marry the princess of Zhao Guo. Although she is older, she is gentle and beautiful, and she has sat on an equal footing with King Zhao many times to discuss state affairs together. Among the sons of the seven kings of Chu State, no matter how powerful your cousins are, I'm afraid no one can marry a princess of a country. ”

Lin Ying pulled Shu'er to follow the footsteps of Duguqing and his party, and whispered as she walked: "She is not 'older', but more than ten years older than me!" ”

Shu'er followed Lin Ying, and also whispered: "Anyway, you don't like women, she has been married for many years, if she insists on marrying you this time, what if you marry a princess of the Zhao Kingdom?" If she can help you with the power of Zhao State, even if your father can't dominate Chudi, maybe you can in the future. ”

Lin Ying said helplessly: "No matter whether I like men or women, and whether the princess of Zhao Guo is powerful or beautiful, in short, I will not marry her." ”

The two argued in a low voice, and saw that the maids returned to their respective palaces and retired one after another, while Duguqing took the personal maidservants and turned into the direction of his palace, and met King Zhao head-on.

Lin Ying and Shu'er hid in the shade of the tree behind the palace wall, and saw from a distance the king of Zhao Dugu who was not blocked by the golden veil tent, and saw that his face was clear and thin, and there was no terrible scar on his face at all. Shu'er felt that King Zhao's appearance could be described as a beautiful man in his generation, more elegant and gentle than the King of Shu she met in Yaowang Villa, taller than Yao King Xue Jiuming Langjian, and more clear than Zhuge Escape, the stepfather who was at the top of the master list and Zhuge calmly.

Dugu Qing saluted and said, "Brother Wang." But it is a very simple and casual courtesy, which shows that the princess of Zhao is different from the princesses of other countries, she is a woman who holds real power and is not a woman who lives in the harem.

King Zhao said: "I heard that the princess has been talking very happily with Mr. Su Ying of Chen Guo these days. ”

Lin Ying and Shu'er glanced at each other, and felt that King Zhao not only had no injuries on his face, but also called his own sister "princess", which was really strange.

Dugu Qing changed his usual gentle attitude and said coldly: "Brother Wang has every opportunity, and he still has the leisure to notice which young man I have a good conversation with?" ”

King Zhao said: "Princess, although I heard that Su Ying is a broken sleeve, if you insist on letting him stay in the palace to play the piano and paint, and accompany you to relieve your boredom, it is not impossible." But you must know that you have all the military power of Zhao in your hands, and your father entrusted you to me, and he will not want you to find a nest horse who can play the piano and paint. After all, you are a woman who has not left the cabinet, and if you get too close to the man outside, even if you break your sleeves, I am afraid it will not be appropriate. ”

Dugu Qing sneered: "Brother Wang, don't you know why I have been in the boudoir for so many years, why do you pretend to be a brother to say this to me today?" You are a dignified king, could it be that you ate the vinegar of the little brother of the Su family? ”

King Zhao sighed: "Princess, why do you want to lose your reputation in vain for the sake of being angry with me? ”

Duguqing passed by King Zhao and threw down a sentence: "For more than 20 years, in order to keep you, what I lost is not just Qingyu?" ”

Shu'er and Lin Ying were puzzled, and felt that the tone between Princess Zhao and King Zhao was not like a brother and sister who had shared hardships, but like a resentful woman in the boudoir scolding her husband.

Only Duguqing knows that if she marries, her husband will inherit the throne, and now King Zhao will fulfill his promise to her father Duguyu, and the Zen throne will go away and never return to Zhao. She didn't want him to leave.
