"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good subordinate, it's really gratifying." Luo Zhengqing laughed, and formally introduced to Huo Sijin, "Under Luo Zhengqing, this is Luo Qinglan, the county lord of Yongjia, the sister of the house. ”

Huo Sijin hurriedly bowed his hand, "Huo Changjin has seen the little marquis, the county lord. ”

Luo Zhengqing returned the salute and glanced at Luo Qinglan again. Luo Qinglan understood, and also replied with a salute, "Huo Shizi is good." ”

The two sides saluted, and it can be regarded as a greeting, Chu Zheng waved his hand, "Sit down and talk." A few people sat down one after another.

Chu Zheng left Beijing since he was a child and trained at the border pass, and the place where he was located was the Lin and Xia prefectures guarded by the Luo clan. In addition, Chu Zheng and the Luo family are still related by marriage, and Luo Zhengqing's aunt is Chu Zheng's aunt, Duchess Zheng Guo, so he is very close to Luo Zhengqing.

However, Huo Sijin suddenly found that there were only Luo Zhengqing and Luo Qinglan who came to the East Palace this time, and there were no entourage, so he felt very strange in his heart, so he asked: "Forgive Changjin for his courage, before the little marquis and the county lord come to the East Palace, can there be an advanced palace face saint?" ”

The Luo family has guarded the border for generations, although Luo Zhengqing has not yet officially taken charge of the Luo family's army, but he is the little marquis, the future commander of the Luo family's army, and when he came to the capital, according to the rules, he should be an advanced Beijing saint. However, looking at Luo Zhengqing's posture, he brought his sister Luo Qinglan alone, and he didn't even have an entourage, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like their brother and sister secretly came to the East Palace.

Huo Sijin's guess was correct, Luo Qinglan took over, "My brother and I came directly to the East Palace." If I enter the palace to see Your Majesty, I will definitely be left in the palace, I want to live here with Brother Zheng, so I don't want to live in the palace! ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin frowned slightly, this is true, Luo Qinglan is a female dependent, fourteen years old, and she is about to reach her death, as a way to avoid suspicion, it is true that she can't live in the East Palace, where she doesn't even have a female dependent. Otherwise, Yu Luo Qinglan's reputation will be damaged.

Huo Sijin glanced at Luo Qinglan, this girl's smile was hearty, the daughter of the gate, it is normal to be informal, it's just ......

Luo Qinglan can call Chu Zheng Brother Zheng, which shows that the two are also very familiar, no matter what kind of friendship they have, the two are very familiar, but Luo Qinglan is a woman who is about to reach the end of the day, and Chu Zheng is the prince of the East Palace, his identity is sensitive, and if he is not careful, the Luo family will really be called a princeling. Even if Luo Qinglan doesn't understand this truth, then Luo Zhengqing, the future coach of the Luo family's army, doesn't he understand it?

Even if it is affectionate, the Luo family intends to support Chu Zheng, but it should be done secretly, and before he can face the saint, he came to the East Palace first, which is not a wise move.

Huo Sijin was about to speak, but Chu Zheng's low and serious voice came from his ears, "Changjin, you go out first." ”

It seems that Chu Zheng also realized that something was wrong, thinking that he wanted to have something to say to the Luo family brothers and sisters, Huo Sijin got up and left with interest. Unexpectedly, Huo Sijin just stood up, but saw Luo Zhengqing again: "Huo Shizi, can you take your sister around the East Palace?" ”

Huo Sijin's eyes were slightly raised, the little marquis is going to branch the main branch of Yongjia County?

"Lan'er, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to see what Donggong looked like? Just let Huo Shizi take you around. Luo Zhengqing and his sister Luo Qinglan smiled again, and the tone was as calm as Fang Cai.

And Luo Qinglan was also very obedient, nodded, and smiled at Huo Sijin, "Then trouble Huo Shizi." ”

Huo Sijin set her eyes on Chu Zheng, she firmly remembered her identity, she was Chu Zheng's person, and she only obeyed Chu Zheng's orders. Seeing that Chu Zheng did not object, Huo Sijin nodded in response.

……

After Huo Sijin and Luo Qinglan were gone, Chu Zheng raised his eyes to look at Luo Zhengqing, his eyes were slightly cold, "What do you want to do?" "Or, more accurately, what the Locke family wants to do.

Although Luo Zhengqing is the eldest grandson, the current commander of the Luo family army is his uncle Luo Yi. When Luo Zhengqing's father died on the battlefield, Luo Zhengqing was still young, although he inherited the marquis, but the commander of the Luo family army was still served by the more capable Luo Yi, if Luo Yi died, the coach would fall to Luo Zhengqing.

Therefore, there are some things that are not Luo Zhengqing's decision.

"Not me." Luo Zhengqing shook his head, "That's what grandmother meant." ”

Luo Zhengqing put away the smile on his face and said with a straight face: "You and I have been brothers for many years, and as a brother, you naturally know that you will never sacrifice your marriage in order to consolidate your position." You only treat Lan'er as a brother and sister, and there is no love between men and women.

What you don't want to do, no one can force you, not even the Locke family, who has a close relationship with you. Unless you like Lan'er, you will never marry her. ”

Luo Zhengqing took a deep breath, and then said: "Although you didn't have a love for Lan'er before, Lan'er is a good woman, she is beautiful and generous, hearty and lively, and her family background and character are worthy of your liking." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I, Luo Zhengqing, as the heir of the Luo family, formally ask you: Are you willing to give the Luo family a chance? As long as you marry Lan'er, the Luo family will definitely do their best to help you ascend to the throne and never have two hearts. ”

However, Chu Zheng didn't even hesitate, and immediately replied: "Impossible, never." He spoke quickly, but he bit every word very hard.

Chu Zheng's attitude was very resolute, which made Luo Zhengqing couldn't help but frown slightly, "Ah Zheng, are you so convinced that you won't have a trace of affection for Lan'er?" Although there are many celebrities in this world, there are really not many good women like Lan'er. ”

"No matter how good your sister is, she is not the person that this palace likes." Chu Zheng said with a straight face, and he didn't even brow.

Luo Zhengqing looked at Chu Zheng, "Do you really not think about it anymore?" ”

Chu Zheng closed his eyes, he was already a little impatient, "This palace has always been one and the same, and this matter is absolutely impossible. If you are serious about your sister's good, persuade the old lady to dispel this thought. ”

He and Luo Zhengqing have been friends for many years, and he knows very well what Luo Zhengqing's temperament is. This matter was Mrs. Luo's intention, not Luo Zhengqing's idea.

Luo Zhengqing spread his hands, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I knew that you would definitely not agree." But grandmother has her considerations, although His Majesty needs the Locke family, but he is also on guard against the Locke family, if the daughter of the Locke family can become the queen, then the Locke family will have an extra layer of protection. I also advised my grandmother that the queen's maternal family may not be stable and worry-free, and the Xie family ......"

Isn't the Xie family a ready-made example? How did the emperor treat Empress Yuan Jing.

Luo Zhengqing didn't say the next words, he knew that Chu Zheng didn't want to mention the sore spot.

Immediately, he changed the subject, "However, I still hold on to the glimmer of hope, I want you to think about it more, after all, my sister is really a good girl." You and I have been friends for many years, and if you are my brother-in-law, I can rest assured. ”

Luo Zhengqing smiled, "Since you have made it clear that you have no intention of Lan'er now, and it is absolutely impossible, then I won't say more, it's not that my Luo family's daughter can't get married, you have to do it."

I will persuade my grandmother again, she is not a person who insists on going her own way, it is no problem to persuade her, it just takes time. Before I convince her, she should mention this matter to you again, and I hope that Your Highness will be patient and don't quarrel with her, you are the crown prince, she is also a princess, and the temperament of the royal family is still there. ”

The old lady of the Luo family, in addition to being the highest-ranking person in the Luo family, is also the eldest princess of Yi'an and Chu Zheng's aunt and grandmother. The Luo family was originally a subordinate, in order to appease them, the first emperor married the eldest princess of Yi'an to the Luo family, the Luo family is a border general, with an independent army, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a party overlord, so the eldest princess of Yi'an married to the Luo family, and the relatives are no different. It is precisely for this reason that the eldest princess of Yi'an has a high status among the royal family, even His Majesty the Emperor has to respect her for three points, not to mention that Chu Zheng is not the emperor yet.

"The old lady is here too?" Chu Zheng asked.

"I took Lan'er first, just to talk to you first. Grandmother will be there in two days. Luo Zhengqing nodded, "I have found out the military salary at the border pass, and my grandmother was very angry when she found out, in the eyes of people in the capital, this is the prince's political enemy looking for fault, but my grandmother said that she doesn't care about the things in the capital, but if she is bullied to the Luo family, she will go to Beijing to seek justice." As for the marriage, it's just by the way, so Ah Zheng, you don't have to take it to heart, grandmother is reasonable, and she will slowly understand. ”
