092 The fifth princess Yuwen Chaoyi
"It's not a burden!" Lu Xuan realized that she didn't express it properly, and immediately explained, "Your Highness, you are born noble, and choosing a concubine is not a trivial matter, so my father must think that I am not qualified, so I am more worried!" ”
Yu Wenqi knew that Lu Xuan was comforting words, and replied with a smile: "If you are not qualified, you are not allowed to say this in the future." He pointed to the front, "Let's go, Prince Ben will take you to Luan Kite Pond to play!" ”
Luan Kite Pond, the water of the pond is shallow, the bottom of the pool is full of pebbles, attracting people who love to play in the water to play, barefoot in the pool to play, splashing in the water, often go to the visitors are mostly princesses who are fun by nature.
The cold winter has passed, and now it is the time of spring when the flowers are blooming, and the weather is also showing a slight sign of warming.
Lu Xuan, who was holding back in the house to learn the rules, instantly exploded in his ambitions, and as Yu Wenqi arrived at Luan Kite Pond, he was so happy that he was about to fly, probably because he didn't see anyone else, and the excited Lu Xuan took off his shoes directly without any image, cheered, and jumped into the pool.
This series of thoughtless actions, Yu Wenqi was stunned, and subconsciously helped Lu Xuan to surround carefully, making sure that there was no one, so he sighed and smiled helplessly, stepped forward and put Lu Xuan's shoes aside, and Mo was splashed by the pool water.
"Yo roar!" Lu Xuan, who was free and easy, lifted her hakama and stepped on the pond water to make a 'plop tower' sound, extremely happy, "It turns out that there is such a fun place in the palace!" It's so much fun! ”
Yu Wenqi sat on the stone on the side, looking at the innocent Lu Xuan, his eyes gradually revealed a special look, he said: "There are still many interesting places, if you want to have enough, Prince Ben can take you." ”
"Really?!" Lu Xuan's biggest weakness is that she can't resist others taking her to play fun and eat delicious food, Yu Wenqi is so active, it can make Lu Xuan cry out happily, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really a good person!" ”
Yu Wenqi smiled gently, and his gaze at Lu Xuan was even deeper.
The scene of pink bubbles was very pleasant, but unexpectedly, at this moment, someone else came.
The woman who came to the country was wearing an orange skirt, known as a white peach blossom embellished skirt, such as a willow branch with a lilac tassel tied around her waist, her face was dexterous, her slightly long bangs were just up to her eyebrows, her head was coiled up with half a little hair, and a few strands of green silk hung down in front of her ears, and the purple earrings were looming, lovely and moving.
"It's rare to see the prince's brother here, huh? Did you bring a beauty with you today? "The woman is the fifth princess today, Yuwen Chaoyi.
When Yuwen Qi saw someone coming, he jumped off the stone, walked over, and replied kindly: "I almost forgot that the fifth sister likes to come here, hehe, that girl is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xuan." ”
"Miss Xuan?" Hearing the name, Yuwen Chaoyi suddenly showed some surprise, she pushed Yuwen Qi away, came to the pool in a few steps, and called Lu Xuan's back, "Miss Xuan, is it really you?!" ”
Lu Xuan played too much, and really didn't notice that the others were coming, and when she heard Yuwen Chaoyi's call, she was suddenly startled, and immediately turned around and looked at the other party in a daze, "Ah...... I'm ......."
"Miss Xuan! I've finally met me! That's great! Confirming the identity, Yuwen Chaoyi was a little more excited, at this time, where does she look like a princess, just like a fan girl.
Lu Xuan was stunned, he didn't know who this girl was, he looked at Yu Wenqi suspiciously, trying to get an answer.
Yu Wenqi actually didn't figure out what the situation was now, it stands to reason that Lu Xuan was entering the palace for the first time, and she and her fifth sister should be meeting for the first time, but how do you feel...... I feel that the fifth sister knows Lu Xuan very well......
"Chaoyi, do you know Miss Xuan?" Yu Wenqi stepped forward to ask, and at that time, he gave Lu Xuan a gesture to let her come up first.
Yuwen Chaoyi may also realize that he is a little out of shape, so he eased his emotions and responded: "Brother Prince, although my sister has never seen Miss Xuan, I have heard that Miss Xuan is a person, she is generous, and she is as interested in new things as her sister!" My sister has been in the palace all the year round, and she has always wanted to find someone with similar interests, so she really wants to get to know Miss Xuan and be friends with her! ”
Lu Xuan climbed up from the pool, heard Yuwen Qi shouting 'Fifth Sister', deliberately calculated it quickly in his mind, and finally realized that this person was the daughter of the concubine, Yuwen Chaoyi.
"Lu Xuan, see the fifth princess!" This is the palace, and Lu Xuan still understands etiquette.
Yuwen Chaoyi was reluctant to let Lu Xuan salute, so he hurriedly helped him up, held Lu Xuan's hand, and his face could not hide his affection, and said, "Miss Xuan doesn't need to be polite!" Just call me Chaoyi in the future! Miss Xuan, do you know all about the interesting places in Beijing? When can you take me to feel the feelings! ”
Yuwen Chaoyi's enthusiasm made Lu Xuan a little overwhelmed, she swallowed her saliva and stammered back: "Ah...... Can...... Yes...... The five dukes mainly came out of the palace to the capital...... It's good to find Lu Xuan...... "She can't figure out her head until now, when did she become so popular in front of the fifth princess?"
"Good, good! With your words, the next time this princess leaves the palace, she will go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
It stands to reason that Yuwen Chaoyi is still one year older than Lu Xuan, but she is also a boy's character since she was a child, no matter how many palace trainings and how many punishments she has, she can't change her fantasies and longings for this world, like a bird locked in a cage, and she doesn't want to break the shackles and fly to the vast world all the time.
This is also one of the reasons why Yuwen Chaoyi is reluctant to recruit a concubine and intends to marry, after all, it is difficult for an unmarried princess to leave the palace, and only when she marries out and leaves the palace that binds her can she enjoy freedom as she wishes.
"Chaoyi, don't scare Miss Renxuan." Yuwen Qi saw that Lu Xuan was obviously a little flustered, so he reminded Yuwen Chaoyi, "You, you always want to run out every day, and you are not afraid of your father's blame, hey!" ”
Although the two are not siblings, the relationship between the queen and the concubine is not bad, and Yuwen Chaoyi is only willing to get closer to Yuwenqi among the many royal brothers.
"Don't be afraid! Besides, my father is so busy, he definitely doesn't have the heart to care about me! Yuwen Chaoyi snorted unconvinced, "Brother Prince, you really understand my sister!" Thank you for bringing Miss Xuan to the palace."
Lu Xuan and Yuwen Qi glanced at each other, tacitly, and they didn't dare to confide in Yuwen Chaoyi at this stage, so they could only be silent.
"That...... Well...... Your Highness, my brother should come out soon, otherwise, I'll go find my brother first......" It's not that I don't like Yuwen Chaoyi, it's just that the enthusiasm of the fifth princess makes it really difficult for Lu Xuan to adapt for a while.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, Yuwen Chaoyi actually took the initiative to say: "Let's go!" Where is your brother, this princess will go with you! ”
"Eh, it's good for Prince Ben to accompany you, Chaoyi didn't come to Luan Kite Pond to play, then don't bother, let's play by yourself!" Yu Wenqi hurriedly stopped.
"What a play! It's rare to see Miss Xuan herself, and my son must have to entertain her! Yuwen Chaoyi couldn't listen to Yuwen Qi's words at all, so she simply took the initiative to grab Lu Xuan's wrist, "Let's go!" ”
——*——
Diligent Palace.
"Lu Xun, after careful consideration, I decided to believe you."
The last time he asked for a job, Lu Xun returned in vain, the reason was very simple, the emperor thought that Lu Xun was young and not enough to go to the Criminal Department to take up his post. After all, the criminal department and the government are two different things, and the government can still have hundreds of officials to discuss it slowly, but the handling of the criminal department must be quickly and strictly judged in order to level the case.
The emperor knew Lu Xun's ability, if he could be used by the royal family, it must be a talent that could be created, but the emperor thought about all the positions that Lu Xun might like, but like the prime minister, he did not consider the criminal department.
After hesitating for a few days, the emperor also asked other cronies and important ministers to ask for opinions, but it seems that they can be said to be reasonable if they are combined, maybe Lu Xun will choose this errand, he must have his plans, and it is impossible to rush over to ask for a job without preparation.
Therefore, the emperor summoned Lu Xun today, just to promise him and give him a chance, "It just so happens that there is a shortage of a waiter in the Criminal Department, so I will ask Master Mu to adjust his position, and at that time, I will notify you of your position." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Xun bowed.
"Lu Xun, although the authority of the Criminal Department is single, it needs to be cautious everywhere, but it is not as simple as imagined." The emperor wrote the holy decree and reminded: "Lord Mu has been an official for many years, he is highly respected, and he is a respectable senior. ”
"The grass people follow His Majesty's teachings!" Lu Xun didn't have anything else, whatever the emperor said was what he wanted, after all, the goal had been achieved, and he could finally enter the Criminal Department as he wished.
For a moment, the emperor had nothing to say, and waved his hand to let Lu Xun retreat.
Lu Zheng waited outside the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and when he saw that his son could be calculated, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
Lu Xun nodded, "The emperor has allowed me to serve as the squire of the Criminal Department, and when Lord Mu is transferred, I can take office." ”
In a word, Lu Zheng's heart that had been hanging for many days fell instantly, to say that although there is more than one squire in the Criminal Department, he is a third-grade official, and he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, the position of the chief judge.
"Son, you have to do a good job after taking office, and the heart of your father is all in you!" Lu Zheng patted Lu Xun's shoulder, his eyes full of hope.
"The prime minister and your brother are there!" At this time, three people came not far away, and Yuwen Chaoyi subconsciously pointed and shouted.
Yuwen Qi hurriedly covered Yuwen Chaoyi's mouth and reminded in a low voice: "Sister, this place is the Qinzheng Palace!" Have you forgotten that your father was disturbed when he was most taboo in handling government affairs? ”
Lu Xuan, who was on the side, just wanted to open her mouth, but when she heard the prince's words, she immediately closed it.
Yuwen Chaoyi put aside Yuwen Qi's hand and stuck out his tongue, so he was not afraid, and pulled Lu Xuan, "Let's go!" ”
Hearing the voice, the Lu father and son subconsciously turned their heads to look, and then ...... When he saw Yuwen Chaoyi also coming, Lu Xun's heart trembled in vain, and he looked at his father's expression with a little uneasiness.
Sure enough, the moment Lu Zheng saw Yuwen Chaoyi, surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and without saying a word, he patted Lu Xun's arm, cast a meaningful look, and greeted him first.
"The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the fifth princess!"
"Oh, what is the Prime Minister polite to us!" Yuwen Chaoyi's enthusiasm was undiminished, and he actually beckoned to Lu Xun with a smile, "Hello Xun Gongzi!" ”
It's not the first time Lu Xun has met, and he has met a few times by chance before, but he is not familiar with him, only knowing that he is familiar with the prince.
Lu Zheng saw that Yuwen Chaoyi was in a good mood today, and at a glance he saw the princess holding his daughter's arm, and the relationship was as close as a pair of good sisters, not to mention how excited he was in his heart.
He turned around and found that Lu Xun was still stunned, a little dissatisfied, and immediately instigated: "The princess greets you, come here!" ”
Lu Xun sighed slightly, so he could only walk forward slowly, and bowed: "I've seen the fifth princess." ”
