Chapter 11: The Twist of Mystery

"Princess, there are so many delicious foods." To get to the royal seat, you have to go through the food area, and Qing'er was attracted halfway through, and her saliva was about to flow out when she saw it.

The herring fish princess will already sit in the royal seat, wearing a cyan long skirt, the skirt is embellished with herring fish patterns, smart and beautiful, her hands are upright on her legs, and the princess's temperament is about to come out.

Looking at Qing'er's appearance, although the person is sitting here, his eyes have drifted away. Qingyu stretched out his hand and beckoned in front of Qing'er, and said, "Can you be a little more reserved, do I usually abuse you?" ”

The sentence of herring fish is not false at all, who doesn't know that the herring fish palace is called a vegetarian, eats vegetarian food, and wears plainly. The Qing Emperor also gave a lot of rewards on weekdays, but they were all taken by the herring to help the poor.

"Originally, can we compare with the Keju Festival in our palace?" Qing'er complained.

The two were chatting, and Guo Lizhi walked over to them with a horsewhip in his hand, smiling so cutely.

"Why is he here, is it possible that you can't whip him again?"

Qing'er's words reminded Qingyu of what happened two years ago. Originally, whipping was a very honorable thing, and it would be admired by everyone to be able to whip the biggest possible winner of the competition. Not every princess can have such an honor, and as long as the herring fish is here, this glory will only belong to her.

But that time the juju whipping ceremony, so that the herring suffered two failures in two days, the sky is not beautiful, a whip, the sky was clear, suddenly the clouds were thick, the thunder was loud, and finally the Qinglan princess was replaced, the whip was successful, and the game was carried out normally. Although afterwards, a meteorologist explained that it was just raining on those two days, it was a pure coincidence that the photograph broke down on those days.

But this still made Qingyu feel uneasy, and this time she didn't know whether she should accept this so-called glory.

"Qing'er, if I am chosen to whip later, can you go down with me, and we will whip together." The herring pleaded with her big eyes.

Qing'er didn't want to agree when she saw Qingyu's pitiful appearance, but who made Qingyu usually treat her so well.

At this time, Guo Lizhi had already walked in front of Qingyu, but he did not immediately give the horse whip to Qingyu, but leaned into Qingyu's ear and whispered, "Qingyu, I can't invite you to whip this year, this is what the emperor meant, but he has other arrangements for you." After speaking, he walked towards Princess Qinglan.

"How can this be, this whip is not you, princess, is Guo Lizhi's brain broken." Qing'er was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Qingyu is not interested in these fame and fortune, but feels relieved.

As soon as the wave calmed down, the Empress Dowager Ye sent someone to look for the herring, and the little eunuch said, "Princess Qingyu, the queen mother sent a servant to find you, please come with me." ”

Next to the Empress Dowager Ye stood a one-eyed man in black, although one eye was missing, but the perseverance in the other eye made people not forget the aura that went straight to the hearts of the people at a glance.

"Queen Mother, you have been in good health lately, and you haven't come to see you for a few days, don't blame me." Qingyu's well-behaved and sensible won the heart of Empress Dowager Ye, although she is not her own daughter, but she is like her own flesh and blood to herring.

"Qingyu, the mourning family is reluctant to blame you, come and sit next to me and introduce you, Lan Chen." Empress Dowager Ye said concisely and clearly.

Although I felt a little abrupt, I still obediently greeted me and said, "Hello, my name is herring, the kind of fish that swims in the water." ”

The other party said familiarly as if he knew herring, "You are still the same as five years ago, and the way you introduce yourself is simple and interesting." ”

"Didn't we meet for the first time five years ago?" Qingyu really can't think of where he has seen him.

"Do you remember when you saved a teenager who was beaten by everyone? You happened to be passing by that neighborhood and saw that he was beaten so that one eye was bleeding, so you rescued him and brought him back to the palace. You were young at the time and didn't know how to place him, so you brought him to the mourning family. ”

When Empress Dowager Ye said this, Qingyu seemed to be a little impressed, but she couldn't equate the tall and mighty man in front of her with the scrawny young man.

It was Lan Chen who took the initiative to speak, "I also want to thank you for saving your life many years ago, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down for Qingyu, and Qingyu was just about to reach out and pull him up, but he was stopped by Empress Dowager Ye, who said, "Today, the mourning family will return it to you, and from now on, he will obey your orders." ”

Listening to the queen mother's words, it didn't seem like a joke, but the herring was still a little stunned.

Lan Chen respectfully saluted Qingyu, "From now on, I will protect you with my life." ”

Looking at the firmness in Lan Chen's eyes, Qingyu was at a loss for a while. It is a good thing that a guard suddenly fell from the sky, but Qingyu always felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Empress Dowager Ye suddenly gave herself a guard, was her life in danger? The herring began to think nonsense.

Empress Dowager Ye saw Qingyu's doubts, and immediately added, "Qingyu, you have to listen to what the mourning family said below, and you must implement it, promise the queen mother, okay?" ”

Qingyu was dazzled by this series of unknown things, and he didn't have time to think too much, and the queen mother couldn't resist in her eyes, so she had to nod.

"The emperor arranged for you to marry the third prince of Yucheng, you must also know that this matter is not negotiable, you have to do it. Because the Emperor had already listed you as the number one executor of his plan a few years ago, and as for what his plan was, even the mourners did not know. Empress Dowager Ye said lightly.

But every word is rooted in the heart of the herring fish, how can the brother who loves him the most, use himself as a chess piece.

"The mourning family doesn't know if the emperor wants to treat you as a sacrifice in the end, but just in case, the current plan is to find the third prince, although it refers to marriage, but I have to say that only if you unite can you avoid being sacrificed by the politics of the two countries for no reason. And Blue Dust will protect you all the way until you meet the Three Princes. "Empress Dowager Ye has already arranged everything properly, which makes Qingyu unprepared.

"Can I go back and get ready? The Queen Mother. Like a little white rabbit, the herring asked innocently.

"No, let's leave immediately, as far as the mourning family knows, the emperor will call you over later, saying that he will let you participate in a promotion training, but in fact, it is to train you to become a spy and deal with the three princes. Since ancient times, the sandpiper and the clam have competed, and the winning side will not be the sandpiper and the mussel, you know. Empress Dowager Ye seemed to be more worried about her own safety than Qingyu, which made Qingyu very moved.

She probably understood, now it's time to choose by herself, whether to fight with the three princes or unite with the three princes, she doesn't know what to do? Since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, intrigue is not her forte, and when the two people who love her the most have a conflict, she doesn't know which side to stand.

After hesitating, the emperor had already sent someone to summon herring, as if it was a war without gunpowder, and now there was really no one to help herring, everything was on your own.

Sure enough, as the Queen Mother expected, Qingyu was arranged to go to the promotion training camp.

Going to the training camp doesn't mean that Qingyu chose the emperor's arrangement, in fact, she doesn't want to offend both sides, this little white rabbit is starting to become a sperm, and she has her own plan!

This training camp is not a traditional military training, but a training of scheming city government and specializing in the art of attacking the mind.

The first class Qingyu went to was to learn how to charm men with her eyes, and the teacher who taught her was a middle-aged woman with a face full of rouge powder, which made people feel greasy.

Qingyu studied this class for three days, not deliberately making trouble, but really can't learn. According to what the teacher taught, the essence of this lesson is to first imagine yourself as water, and your eyes are like water, which will make the man fall silent and unable to extricate himself.

Every time I force myself to imagine with my mind, I always think of myself as a fish, swimming and swimming in the water, and I feel tired and want to sleep as I swim.

In the end, the teacher was helpless, changed his strategy, and when he looked at the person with his eyes, he imagined the other person as the person he liked, and the person he liked happened to be injured. This will inspire compassion and lead to a gentle state of mind.

This trick should be effective for others, but for herring, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, because she doesn't even know who she likes, let alone any sympathy. She has compassion for the poor, but her eyes are by no means affectionate, but tearful.

Somehow, when practicing this link, I inexplicably always think of the back of the corner in modern society, the man named Lu Tianfeng, every time I think of this, the teacher will shout to stop, because the eyes of the herring fish look like they are looking for it from an outsider's point of view, the eyeballs are rolling around, and the atmosphere has completely changed.

The teacher said that Lanchen learned better than herring, which hit herring's self-confidence hard, and Qingyu was not convinced, saying that it was because of the training urgency, so she also asked the teacher for a few days off, saying that her eyes were uncomfortable and needed to recuperate.

In this way, the herring will have time to carry out her plan.

When he learned that Lan Chen would not tell the Queen Mother about his every move and was completely loyal to himself, Qingyu quietly hatched a plan in his heart. She asked Lan Chen to plan the nearest route to Jade City in advance, and strive to reach Jade City within a day, and then return as quickly as possible, so that by the time the emperor and the queen mother found out, they had already returned.

One night, while the guards relaxed their vigilance, Lan Chen took the herring fish, took the prepared short weapons and rouge gouache, and fled.

Two people rode one by one, from the north to the dust.

What Qingyu didn't expect was that his casual decision to go north would become a key choice for marriage in this life.
