When the eldest princess of Ngee An came out like this, it was like a pebble thrown into the water, seemingly inadvertent, but it instantly disturbed the entire calm lake. In the harem, Concubine Huo Xian became the object of everyone's friendship, and in the previous dynasty, Chu Li, the third prince, became the person praised by many courtiers.

For Nan Chu, the Luo family is very important, and everyone tacitly assumes that the person supported by the Luo family is the crown prince Chu Zheng, but now the eldest princess of Yi'an, one of the rulers of the Luo family, has broken this perception with her own hands, so the government and the opposition are instantly uneasy, and the situation has changed. There is a change in the situation, and the person on the dragon chair must be alarmed.

Therefore, in the early dynasty, the emperor frequently looked at Chu Li, he actually didn't pay much attention to this son, but now he looks at the manners, the words and deeds are modest, and the various claims and evidence are reasonable.

The emperor's eyes frequently fell on Chu Li, so the courtiers' hearts also stirred up Xiao Jiujiu, it seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is about to rise, not to mention surpassing the crown prince, at least he can be compared with the five princes.

Chu Li didn't fail to notice the gazes that fell on him, but the disguise of the years was not in vain, his face did not change and he was calm and calm, and he did not let the excitement in his heart be revealed at all. just waited for the court, turned around and went to Concubine Huo Xian's Yuxiu Palace, and after waving away the palace people, he laughed out loud.

"Li'er, what's wrong with you? What is so happy, saying it makes the mother concubine happy and happy. Concubine Huo Xian was also smiling, she had never felt that her life was so comfortable as it is now, from head to toe, even if she was still only Concubine Xian at the moment, but she felt that she had felt the glory of becoming the master of the harem in the future.

"Mother, the good days of our mother and son have finally come." Chu Li told Concubine Huo Xian about today's scene in the court, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were indescribably happy and proud.

Concubine Huo Xian stroked her right hand with her left hand, her eyes fell on the dankou stained with impatiens on the tip of her right fingertips, and her red lips raised, "Li'er, it's not decided yet, don't forget it proudly, our mother and son still have a long way to go." ”

Although she is also proud in her heart, she still has to remind her son not to get carried away.

Chu Li hurriedly nodded and responded: "Don't worry, concubine, son-in-law." The father gave his son an errand, which has something to do with the little marquis of the Luo family, and the son is going to go at this time. "It's obviously a business matter, but in fact, it's an opportunity to meet Luo Zhengqing.

Hearing this, Concubine Huo Xian didn't immediately agree, and after a moment of silence, she said solemnly: "Li'er, if it's not very related, don't be in a hurry, just after going down to the court, you will run to the Luo family, if someone with a heart uses this matter and reaches the ears of His Majesty, it will not be good for you." ”

She is more cautious than Chu Li, in the past many years in the palace, she is used to being cautious and subtle, and she does not let go of any details.

"It's still the mother's thoughtfulness, the ministers there listen to the mother's concubine, and it's not particularly tight, I'll go tomorrow." Chu Li understood what Concubine Huo Xian meant, and immediately nodded in response.

Chu Li had the heart to hold himself, but he didn't want him to leave Yuxiu Palace not long ago, but he happened to meet Luo Zhengqing by chance in the imperial garden.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

At that time, Luo Zhengqing and Luo Qinglan were meeting Chu Li head-on, and they didn't even have a chance to pretend not to see it, and it was Luo Zhengqing who bowed to Chu Li first.

Luo Qinglan also followed his brother and bowed, the brother and sister have all the etiquette, there is no omission, the attitude, neither warm, but also not excessively alienated, the attitude of a normal courtier towards the prince.

The two brothers and sisters are light and breezy, but Chu Li's heart is not so calm, there are many people in this imperial garden, and it is this sensitive time, he met the Luo family brothers and sisters at this time, and said that they met by chance, but they were afraid that others would not believe it.

"Little Marquis, county lord." Chu Li quickly organized his words, smiled and greeted the two of them, "Where are the little marquis and the county lord going, it's really a coincidence, this is the first time that the main hall has met the two of them here." ”

His smile was like a warm spring breeze, leaving room for both leeway and not being overly enthusiastic, Chu Li thought that he had done a good job.

"I didn't think about where to go, I heard that the white lotus flowers in the imperial garden are blooming very well, and Lan'er and I are idle and plan to go over and have a look." Luo Zhengqing replied softly, while Luo Qinglan stood quietly beside his brother.

Chu Li frowned, "Go to the Lotus Pond?" Little Hou Ye, you are going in the wrong direction, the lotus pond is over there. ”

Luo Zhengqing was surprised, and looked at the path behind him, "Wrong?" I really don't know, the imperial garden is too big, and all kinds of flowers and trees are about the same, which is really dazzling, and makes His Royal Highness the Third Prince laugh. ”

"No, no, where does the little marquis speak, the little marquis doesn't come often, and it's normal to take a fork."

Having said that, Chu Li pondered in his heart, although the imperial garden is covered with flowers and trees, it is easy to recognize the wrong way, but there are so many palace people in it, but if Luo Zhengqing casually finds a palace person to lead the way, how can he go wrong? Isn't it...... Luo Zhengqing deliberately said that he was going the wrong way, but he actually wanted to meet him?

This speculation seemed to be reasonable, and for a while, Chu Li's heart suddenly became active again. Since the other party has intentions, if he lives up to Luo Zhengqing's kindness, won't he offend others?

"Little Marquis, it's better to do this, this hall will take you over." Chu Li raised his eyes and smiled and proposed.

"Won't this be too much trouble Your Highness?" Luo Zhengqing did not nod immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

Chu Li shook his head again and again, "It's not troublesome, how can it be troublesome, the little marquis came from afar, and his father also explained that he wanted to entertain the little marquis and the county lord of Yongjia well, knowing that the little marquis had taken a fork in the road, but he didn't do anything, and his father knew about it, and he would blame the palace." ”

Luo Zhengqing smiled, nodded in response, and bowed as usual, "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao." ”

From here to the lotus pond, there is still some distance, it is impossible not to say anything along the way, Chu Li chatted with Luo Zhengqing in a timely manner, of course, most of them are touting how Luo Zhengqing is wise and brave, how Luo Jiajun is brave and good at fighting, and has made great contributions to Southern Chu. And Luo Zhengqing also spoke politely to Chu Li, Chu Li praised him, and he was grateful for the gift of heaven and the emperor's blessing.

Luo Qinglan was one step behind the two, listening to their mutual praise, secretly sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes, it was really more hypocritical than the other.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the lotus pond, Chu Li felt that it was time, so he seemed to think of it inadvertently, and said: "By the way, my father asked the palace to be responsible for sorting out last year's ordnance. ”

Luo Zhengqing pondered for a while before saying: "The affairs of the army are in charge of my uncle Luo Yi, and I am still unclear about the affairs of the ordnance, sorry, I really can't help Your Highness." ”

Hearing this, Chu Li was a little disappointed, but he guessed that Luo Zhengqing might also be interested in contacting him, but the reason he was looking for was not suitable.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's because the palace is in a hurry, so it's the little marquis." Chu Li said with a smile, "There is the lotus pond in front, the little marquis and the county lord can enjoy it, and if there is something else in the main hall, I will leave first, if the little marquis is free, you can go to the main hall to sit there another day." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, today, Your Highness will go slowly." Luo Zhengqing and Chu Li bowed to each other.

When it was confirmed that Chu Li had gone away, Luo Qinglan spoke: "This Royal Highness the Third Prince is really anxious. As she spoke, she shook her head, impatience is a taboo in soldiers, and such a person is really far behind the calm prince Chu Zheng.

"The third prince has always been inconspicuous, and no one paid too much attention to him before, but now he suddenly has glory, and after being touted a few words, his tail naturally involuntarily rises to the sky." Luo Zhengqing said mockingly.

Luo Qinglan shook his head helplessly, "Brother Zheng obviously needs to be talented, and his temperament is upright and not hypocritical, why can't the courtiers see it." If you want me to say, whether it is the fifth prince or the third prince, they are not as good as Brother Zheng. ”

"It's not that the courtiers can't see it, but in the more than ten years that the prince has been away, the forces in the capital have already belonged to others, so as soon as the prince appears, they will only think about how to deal with the prince in order to consolidate their own power." There are some truths that Luo Qinglan doesn't understand, but Luo Zhengqing understands.

Luo Qinglan was still puzzled: "But even if there are such people, the huge capital is not like this." ”

"Of course not everyone, there are still some people who have a wait-and-see attitude, of course, there are also people who want to take refuge in the prince, but ......" Luo Zhengqing chuckled, "What kind of character does the prince have, what he wants, he will only take it himself, and he doesn't bother to do things like forming a party for personal gain." ”

Luo Qinglan nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, Brother Zheng has had this temperament since he was a child, and I heard my aunt say that this temperament is exactly the same as that of Queen Yuanjing." I only hope that Brother Zheng will not be as ...... as his mother."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Zhengqing: "Lan'er, don't say such things in the future, especially in front of the prince." ”

Luo Qinglan hurriedly covered her mouth, nodded, don't say it, she will definitely not say it......
