Master Zhi'an spoke, of course she would not refuse, stepped over, and sat down opposite him.

"Lord Ronghua will hold the black chess."

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the chess game on the chessboard, at this time, the black and white sides were deadlocked, no one had the upper hand, and it seemed to be in a stalemate.

The thin white fingers pinched the black chess pieces, and pondered for a long time before putting the black chess pieces on the expectation.

Master Zhi'an smiled slightly: "Sure enough, this game of chess can only be solved by Lord Ronghua." ”

Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly spoke: "Zhuohua's chess skills are not good, this is just luck." ”

To be honest, she didn't find a way to break the chess game after watching it for a long time just now, so she could only put a position at random, in order not to be seen, she also deliberately maintained a deliberate and made a decision.

Hearing her words, Master Zhi'an smiled indifferently, with an unfathomable look: "Lord Ronghua is too humble." ”

Lin Zhuohua moved the corners of his mouth, thought for a long time, and was just about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Master Zhi'an.

"The old monk knows what the county lord wants to ask, but the secret must not be revealed. But the old monk can give the county lord a sentence, everything in the world has cause and effect, today's cause is the effect of the coming day, and today's effect is the cause of the past. Your heart is your future. ”

After Master Zhi'an finished speaking, he slowly got up and walked to the room behind him.

Lin Zhuohua sat on the stone bench, reminiscing about Master Zhi'an's words, and it took a while to pull back from his contemplation, and when he raised his head, he only saw the back of Master Zhi'an walking into the room.

"Zhuohua thanked the master for his advice."

After saying that, she turned around and left the quiet courtyard, and walked all the way along the crooked path to the gate of Huangyan Temple.

When she arrived at the carriage, the old lady was already waiting there, and when she saw her coming, she immediately inquired with some concern.

"Where have you been, and how did you come back? What's the trouble? ”

She heard that the little son of the Fu Xiang family also came to the temple to offer incense today, but he was a little demon king in the mixed world, and for some reason he always liked to trouble his granddaughter. If he touches it, he will definitely come up and provoke it.

Lin Zhuohua shook his head: "No, I just happened to meet Master Zhi'an and listened to the master for a while." ”

Now it was the turn of the old lady to be surprised, Master Zhi'an has indeed stayed in Huangyan Temple recently, but he has never started a lecture on the scriptures, and now there are people who come to the door every day, wanting to listen to Master Zhi'an lecture once, or approve a name for his children.

But so far, they have been rejected, but who would have thought that his granddaughter would hear Master Zhi'an's lecture.

"What's the catch?"

"I learned a lot of truths." Lin Zhuohua didn't say anything in detail, and she didn't say a few words with the master, and she was playing chess all the time.

Seeing that she was reluctant to say more, the old lady did not continue to ask.

"Alright, it's not too early, we should go back."

Just as he was about to turn around and get into the carriage, he heard a voice with a hint of mockery.

"Yo! I thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect it to be our capable Ronghua County Lord. ”

Lin Zhuohua looked sideways at the visitor, it was a teenager. A cyan brocade robe with dark patterns embroidered on it. The waist is tied with a jade belt, and the face is handsome. It's just that those eyes have a bit of anger, which ruins the young man's face.

Lin Zhuohua only recalled it slightly, and then he knew who it was.

The old lady's face sank, and she looked coldly at the young man who came over: "Fu Xiang's family is really well-educated, and I don't know how to say hello when I see the elders." ”

Fu Chengquan is the youngest son in the family and the most favored. Even in Shangjing, he is a well-known little bully, so naturally he will not put an old woman in his eyes.

He lifted his chin slightly, condescendingly.

"Who are you? My elders were only my father, my mother and my grandmother. ”

As soon as these words came out, some of the people watching the play around gasped. This little son of the Fu Xiang family is too rude, this is how much you can be spoiled like this.

Many nobles in Shangjing love their youngest sons, but most of them have the etiquette they should have, at least they will not be as ignorant as Fu Xiaogongzi.

When the old lady heard this, she was really angry. even felt that she was insulting herself by being angry with such a stupid person, and she didn't bother to say a word to him. turned around and got into the car, and dropped a sentence lightly.

"It turns out that in the eyes of the little prince of the Fu family, the emperor and the queen mother can't be your elders."

Lin Zhuohua was originally very annoyed by Fu Chengquan's posture, but after hearing his grandmother's words, he couldn't help laughing. Without even looking at the ugly man, she turned and followed into the carriage and commanded.

"Go home."

After the carriage left a certain distance, Lin Zhuohua lifted the curtain of the window, and a silver needle shot out of her hand quickly.

There was a cold glint in those clear eyes, she was not a good person, and she dared to talk to her grandmother like that, this lesson was small.

Lowering the curtain of the carriage, he soon heard a scream from behind. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a light smile.

The old lady patted her hands, ironed in her heart, and said softly: "Doing anything to this kind of fool is dirty your hands." ”

Lin Zhuohua leaned on her grandmother with affection, and said coquettishly: "Zhuohua is already capable of protecting her grandmother, no matter who it is, I will not allow them to bully you." ”

The old lady's eyes were full of emotion, and she touched her head as if she was a child: "Grandmother knows that you have grown up now, but that Fu Xiang is a very thoughtful person, if he wants to deal with you, he will dare to do anything." ”

"I know my grandmother is worried about me, but trust your granddaughter, now that I'm old enough to protect whoever I want to protect."

Now her shop on the surface is very profitable, and the power she has developed privately is getting better and better. The Dark Pavilion also threw an olive branch, and the Dark Pavilion would provide her with the information she needed for free, but at the same time, when the Dark Pavilion needed her help, her people also had to help, which can be said to have reached an alliance.

So now that her power is developing rapidly, she has always been very curious about the dark pavilion master, thinking that she will definitely want to meet that person when she has the opportunity, but she has mentioned it several times and has been politely refused, saying that their pavilion master is not here now, and he will help her convey it when he comes back.

The old lady didn't say anything more when she heard this, she knew that some of her granddaughters ran a lot of shops outside, and each of them was very profitable. Now he is apprenticed to the people of the hidden family as the master, and if he wants to, he can indeed protect the Guogong Mansion.

"Okay, I'll go back and have a good rest in a while, and I'll go to the palace banquet in the evening."

Lin Zhuohua nodded, and when he returned to the Guogong Mansion, he obediently went back to rest.

The palace banquet in the evening was held for the heroes of this time, and it could be regarded as a way to catch the wind for the Longrui envoy group.

Lin Zhuohua cleaned up early, this time he only wore a long blue dress, half of his hair was pulled into a simple bun, and the bottom was casually draped. A pair of white magnolia hairpins were inserted in the bun, and the orchids were hung with tassels, which swayed mischievously as she walked.

Her appearance is bright, but today's fresh makeup makes her a little more agile, and there is no sense of disobedience. On the contrary, it makes people who are used to seeing her gorgeous and dazzling makeup feel bright and very fresh.

The Queen Mother was very surprised when she saw Lin Zhuohua, and she naturally felt tired of looking at the concubines or ladies competing in the room, so Lin Zhuohua's small freshness was particularly conspicuous.

"Zhuohua's makeup is good today, and girls need to be so fresh and cute."

Seeing that Lin Zhuohua was once again liked by the Queen Mother, the ladies of the family who sat down below couldn't wait to eat her.

In the past, Lin Zhuohua was not dressed in bright clothes and delicate makeup. Today's blue dress, although the simple makeup makes her extremely smart, it also lightens her gorgeous facial features, but in the mouth of the Queen Mother, it has become fresh and lovely!

Didn't the Queen Mother say that in the past? The Queen Mother used to say that women should be dressed up bright and dazzling, and they all look at people!

The Queen Mother doesn't know what everyone thinks, she just looks at Lin Zhuohua well, how she likes it, especially when she will become her granddaughter-in-law soon, naturally she is not comparable to the young ladies next to her. Chase Yo Literature

Lin Zhuohua showed a soft smile, and that smile made the Queen Mother's rock-like heart sharpened in the deep palace couldn't help but soften a little.

sighed in my heart, such a delicate and soft beauty, it is not an exaggeration for Yi'er to like it. When it comes to the prince who has to make trouble to withdraw from the marriage, is there a problem with his eyes? Thinking of this, she glanced at Lin Youran, who was sitting beside Mrs. Lin.

The appearance is good, and the temperament is acceptable. But no matter how much those eyes were hidden, they also concealed the ambition under her eyes. This is an extremely ambitious woman with means, and it is also appropriate to ration the prince, after all, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he also needs a queen with the means to deter the harem.

The Queen Mother pulled Lin Zhuohua to sit beside her, and asked for warmth.

Feeling the jealous eyes around her, if Lin Zhuohua didn't know that the Queen Mother really liked her, she would almost feel that the Queen Mother just wanted to pull her out to set up a target.

Lin Youran sat beside Mrs. Lin and watched Lin Zhuohua become the attention of everyone indifferently. She lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking arc, I really don't know if the Queen Mother really loves her or hates her, this kind of favor simply retreats her to the cusp.

Soon a little eunuch came over, saying that the palace was ready, and invited the queen mother and the queen to come over.

When he came to the palace banquet, Lin Zhuohua sat beside his grandmother obediently. She glanced at the people in the hall and didn't see Li Zeyi. At this time, the emperor and the queen mother and others had already arrived, but he was missing.

When the emperor announced the start of the palace banquet, Li Zeyi's figure did not appear.

The dancing girls in the main hall danced, and everyone drank and talked happily. No one seemed to care about the absent position, only Lin Zhuohua frowned from time to time to glance.

The old lady noticed her actions and turned her head sideways and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why hasn't King Yi come yet?" Lin Zhuohua was a little worried, the most important thing in today's palace banquet is to reward meritorious deeds, but he has not appeared yet.

The emperor who sat on the top couldn't see the joy and anger, but she saw the smugness in the prince's eyes.

"King Yi should have been delayed, the emperor didn't say anything, don't worry about it first." The old lady patted her hand soothingly, she felt that King Yi was an assertive child, and he would definitely not be absent from such an important palace banquet.

Just when Lin Zhuohua was a little anxious, he heard the prince's clear voice.

"Father, why don't you see the third brother at such an important palace banquet today?"

The prince spoke as if unintentionally, glancing at the still empty spot. He sent out a lot of dead soldiers to surround Li Zeyi, so naturally he couldn't kill people in Shangjing, but it was indeed okay to let him come to the palace banquet late.

Such an important palace banquet and the Longrui delegation were there, but he was late for no reason, which would definitely dislike his father, and even make the civil and military officials feel that he was arrogant, and he did not put everyone in his eyes because he had made a contribution to this war.

That's all he has to do, he has made this feat, and he can let him get it not so smooth.

When the emperor heard the prince's words, a cold color flashed in his eyes. He already pretended not to see it, but who knew that the prince actually mentioned it in public. At this moment, he was a little more disappointed in the crown prince in his heart, he could endure the infighting among the princes, but when there were outsiders, he had to at least maintain a superficial brother, friend and brother.

But in order to eliminate dissidents, the current prince even ignored these, and even did not hesitate to let the Long Rui delegation see the jokes.

"Yi'er ......"

The emperor was thinking about finding some reason to settle this matter, when he saw Li Zeyi walking in from the door of the main hall, followed by two people with two boxes in their hands.

"The son is late, please apologize to my father." He walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, and the people who followed him hurriedly knelt down.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the two people who followed him, both of whom were overseas, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Then she thought of something, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and the worry in her heart disappeared.

It seems that the people and things she asked her uncle to help him find have already been delivered to him, and these things will be used today.

"Third brother, how can you be late for such an important palace banquet today?" The prince looked at Li Zeyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly spoke: "Do you have anything to explain?" ”

Li Zeyi raised his head and glanced at the prince with a warm face, but his words were aggressive, a touch of mockery flashed in his eyes, but he said indifferently: "The younger brother will be late today, and he has prepared a special gift for his father, so he is a little late." ”

When the emperor heard his words, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Oh? Then I want to see what kind of gift makes Yi'er pay so much attention, so you get up and present the gift. ”

Li Zeyi got up and turned around to take the two small and delicate boxes. Then he walked up step by step and offered the two boxes with both hands.

The emperor got up and took it personally, and then opened it under the curious eyes of everyone. When he saw what was inside, he was stunned and asked, "What is this?" ”

He pulled out two small black objects inside, which he had never seen before.

"It's a pistol."

Lin Zhuohua also looked at her head curiously, she just knew that there was a weapon called a pistol overseas, as for the difference from Yanxia's, she didn't know, but the lethality was definitely greater than the cold weapon they were using now.

This was the first time she had seen a pistol, and it was slightly different from Yanxia's, and it seemed to have a simpler structure. But it was enough to surprise her, it was a long time before it appeared in the hot summer.

But thinking that this is an alternate world, this surprise lasted for a while.

At this time, Li Zeyi had already told the purpose of the pistol, and his words fell, which immediately shocked the civil and military officials sitting below.

If this thing is really as powerful as King Yi said, if it is used in the army, wouldn't it be invincible?

Compared with the surprise of the civilian officials, the generals can simply be called excited. The eyes they looked at King Yi were different, and they were extremely hot and admired.

"The third brother actually got such a novelty? I wonder if you can demonstrate, is this small thing really as powerful as you say? ”

The prince looked at the reactions of the civil and military officials below, and his heart rose vigilant. He glanced at the small thing, but he didn't quite believe him.

It was only the size of a palm, and it was really as powerful as he said, and it was unbelievable.

Li Zeyi glanced at the prince, and then picked up one of the pistols, and there was an extra cage underneath, and in the cage was a fierce wolf.

At this time, the wolf's eyes showed a fierce light, which was very terrifying. It slammed around the cage restlessly, as if trying to break out of the cage. Those bloodthirsty and fierce eyes send chills down people's backs.

Li Zeyi took a pistol and aimed at the wolf who kept crashing into the cage, and the bullet burst out of the air, and before everyone could react, the wolf's scream had already sounded in their ears. Then he fell to the ground, and his body twitched slightly a few times before he stopped.

The crowd was shocked, for all this had happened in the blink of an eye, and it was not too close to the center of the hall.

The emperor recovered from the shock and immediately asked people to come forward to check it out.

The man who had been sent to check on him soon returned, and the shock in his voice could not be hidden.

"Back to the emperor, the wolf has died, and this thing pierced through the wolf's heart and shattered the heart."

The thing in the man's hand was the size of a stone, and it was still slightly hot.

There was silence in the hall, and it took a while for the emperor's hearty laughter to be heard. With a little relief in his eyes, he looked at his favorite son.

"This is one of my favorite gifts I've received in so many years, and it's a great gift for our entire landscape."

Li Zeyi smiled slightly, and pointed to the two overseas people below: "These two people will make this pistol technology, and the son specially invited the two of them to pay a lot of money, and now they are handed over to their father, and I hope that my father will reuse the two of them." ”

The emperor readily agreed, and he naturally attached great importance to such talents.

"Please sit down first, and wait until the end of today's palace banquet before I make another arrangement."

The two of them didn't understand it, but fortunately, Li Zeyi also found a Jingguo person who understood an overseas language. With this person, they can communicate normally.

The emperor was very happy at this palace banquet, he looked at himself Li Zeyi and said, "Yi'er go to your seat and sit down first." ”

The reward he had given before was afraid that it was going to be changed again, and before sitting down, the emperor glanced at the prince with a stiff face, and shook his head in disappointment.
