Chapter 43: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint

True love is like a beautiful flower, and the more barren it is when it opens, the more pleasing it is to look at. But if love is mixed with calculations that have nothing to do with itself, it is not pure love.

Lu Anjin couldn't figure out the true intentions of the fickle man at the moment, and he was also very puzzled by his hot and cold, so he decided to stay still for the time being.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move; If the enemy moves, she waits for the opportunity to move.

It was night, the stars twinkled in the sky, and a cool breeze dissipated the residual heat of the day, and the earth was quiet.

Lu Anjin simply freshened up, thought for a moment, and took out the jade pendant that she had deliberately forgotten, she gently stroked the exquisite lines, and her eyes were full of complexity.

Why was he so ruthless, giving her hope and then making her deeply desperate.

Inside the window, there are many people, lonely and lonely; Outside the window, alone, lonely and lonely.

Qi Xiaoyun sat on the branch, raised the wine jar, and took a few big sips. He was too strong to drink, and after a few sips of strong wine, he was already drunk. He looked drunken at the shadow reflected on the window paper, and fled in embarrassment in the soft moonlight.

The next day, when Lu Anjin woke up, it was already dawn.

As soon as she was dressed, she saw Lu Mu coming over in a hurry, with an anxious face.

"Mother, what's going on?"

"Jin'er, hurry up and dress up, the father-in-law came again yesterday, and His Majesty announced that you and your father would enter the palace."

"Mother, don't worry, I'll be fine soon."

Xu is yesterday's silver is in place, Lu Anjin is late, and her father-in-law didn't say much, and specially explained some precautions, lest she accidentally make a mistake and anger Shengyan.

"Miss Lu, when you enter the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds."

Lu Anjin saluted, "Thank you father-in-law for your advice, the little girl is grateful." ”

It is worthy of being the leading boss in the four kingdoms, and the imperial palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is magnificent and splendid.

Lu Anjin didn't appreciate the extraordinarily enchanting beauty too much, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are! The palace is full of murderous intent and she has to be careful.

Although the father-in-law is greedy for money, what he said is extremely true, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this is absolutely an eternal truth. When she entered the palace for the first time, she didn't want to give her life here.

It's just that a group of water bandits have been exterminated, and the emperor actually took great pains to announce that they would return to Beijing to meet her, which made her puzzled.

But it can't be denied that she smells a hint of conspiracy.

"Lord Lu, Miss Lu, wait a while, and the miscellaneous family will go to report to the saint."

The father and daughter hurriedly saluted: "There is a father-in-law." ”

After standing for about half an hour, Lu Anjin's legs were extremely sore, she couldn't help grinding her teeth, and just when she was about to collapse, she finally saw her father-in-law's lovely old face.

"Lord Lu, Miss Lu, Your Majesty announces your visit!"

Lu Anjin hung his head and couldn't help pursing his lips, wanting to complain about this evil feudal society.

But I thought of the perverted system that the monarch wanted his ministers to die and the ministers had to die, so I had to endure it.

"Wechen see Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

"Courtiers see Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

A majestic voice came from above, "Flat! ”

Lu Anjin stood obediently behind Lu's father, hanging his head and saying nothing.

"When Lu Qingfang arrived in Yinnan, he managed Yinnan in an orderly manner. Lu Qing is worthy of being the minister of my humerus in Eastern Qi, and I am very pleased! ”

"Everything is the emperor's grace, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit."

The emperor smiled lightly and asked casually, "I heard that Miss Lu showed off her wisdom and exterminated the Nanhe Water Kou, and Miss Lu made great contributions, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Father Lu replied respectfully, "Your Majesty Shengming, this time to exterminate the Nanhe Koukou, His Royal Highness Xianwang has made great contributions. As for the little girl, it's just nonsense, and it's just the light of His Royal Highness King Xian. ”

The emperor laughed loudly, "Why is Lu Qing so modest. Lu Anjin, come forward. ”

Lu Anjin stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner, "The courtiers see Your Majesty." ”

"Look up."

Lu Anjin replied, "The courtiers seem to have no salt, and they are frightened of the holy drive. ”

"It's all right, and keep your head up."

Lu Anjin had no choice but to raise her head slowly, she glanced at the tall figure standing in front of her with a little surprise, and lowered her eyebrows.

The emperor's hearty laughter suddenly came from above, "It is worthy of being the pearl of Lu Qing's palm, and Lu Qing's modesty, obviously he is a flower and a moon, but he has to say that he seems to be saltless." ”

Lu Anjin hurriedly knelt down, "The courtiers should die!" ”

"Get up, I'm just a little joke."

Lu Anjin stood up silently, she would rather live in a poor country in her life than face this king who holds the power of life and death.

"Miss Lu has made a contribution to exterminating the water invaders this time, and I have a lot of rewards!"

When Lu Anjin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are ashamed of it. This time, His Royal Highness King Xian consumed his heart and energy, and made great contributions. If Your Majesty wants to reward it, it is good to reward Your Highness. ”

Qi Xiaoyun didn't say a word, and stood there coldly, like a statue.

"Emperor."

"The son is here."

"What Miss Lu said, is it true?"

Qi Xiaoyun replied coldly, "Miss Lu, Hui Lanxin, this time to exterminate the water Kou has contributed a lot of good plans. ”

Lu Anjin gritted his teeth, and there was no trace of joy in his praise.

How much he dislikes her, he will disagree with her everywhere.

"His Royal Highness King Xian doesn't have to be so humble, if it weren't for His Royal Highness, the courtiers would still be locked up in the bandit village at this time."

The emperor lowered his eyes, as if smiling.

"Emperor, what do you think?"

Qi Xiaoyun replied expressionlessly, "Miss Lu is low-key and modest, not arrogant or impatient, very good." ”

"What a low-key and modest one, not arrogant or impatient," the emperor said loudly: "Lu Anjin has made meritorious contributions to the extermination of Nanhe Shuikou this time, and he has been specially named the county lord of Anning, and he will be given the county lord's mansion with one hundred taels of gold!" ”

Lu Anjin hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him, "Courtier, Xie Sheng, Long Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The emperor said: "Lu Jingzhi, the prefect of Yinnan, exterminated the locusts and provided disaster relief, his political achievements are outstanding, and he is very happy, and he will give him a hundred taels of gold!" ”

Father Lu hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

The emperor finally asked Qi Xiaoyun, "I don't know what reward the emperor wants?" ”

Qi Xiaoyun still looked like he was not approaching, he was silent for a moment, and then he replied as faintly as water, "Erchen doesn't want anything." ”

After a long time, when Lu Anjin came out of the palace, his legs were weak. This rule of having to kneel at every turn, I don't know which pervert made it, it's purely torturing people.

Qi Xiaoyun came out of the palace, glanced at the woman with a sad face in front of him, and prepared to pass by without saying a word.

"Lord Wang, stay here."

Qi Xiaoyun stopped, did not turn around, his voice was as cold as ever, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Anjin walked forward with a smile, and after a closer look, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Thank you for your kind words for your courtiers in front of the saint."

"But is there anything else?"

Lu Anjin walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Why doesn't the prince dare to look up at the courtiers?" ”

Qi Xiaoyunjun's face was slightly flushed, and he pretended to be reserved, "Men and women don't kiss." ”

"Heh," Lu Anjin sneered, "Did the prince blush when he said this?" ”

"If nothing else..."

She struggled for a moment, "Why didn't the prince say goodbye?" ”

Qi Xiaoyun was silent for a moment and chose to continue to be silent.

"Since the prince said goodbye, why did he mention the courtiers in front of the saint?"

Qi Xiaoyun raised his eyes and glanced at her, because he wanted to see her, can this reason be valid?

For Qi Xiaoyun's silence is golden, Lu Anjin gritted his teeth with hatred. If she were ordinary, she wouldn't be bored. However, the anger burning in her chest was three points stronger than the bright sun.

There are some questions that she can't feel at ease without asking them. She threw down her peaceful disguise and asked aggressively, "Since the prince rejected the courtiers, why did he come to provoke the courtiers!" What does the prince do with his courtiers, a dog that comes and goes when he is summoned? ”

She is a prince and a courtier, but she is full of alienation and monstrous anger!

Qi Xiaoyun's thick eyebrows were raised, full of puzzlement, "When did this king refuse you?" ”

Lu Anjin sneered, "Could it be that the prince is also the same as that fish, and his memory is only seven seconds?" ”

What he had done himself, he didn't even admit it, Lu Anjin was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"What this king has never done, how do you remind this king!"

Lu Anjin's pretty face was as pale as paper, she smiled lightly, glanced at him abruptly, and said lightly, "Since the prince doesn't admit it, forget it." The prince is busy with military affairs, so the courtiers will not bother. ”

She turned around and was about to leave, Qi Xiaoyun stepped forward, blocked her way, and said word by word, "Make it clear." ”

"The courtiers have nothing to say."

"What you said just now, this king is very puzzled."

It's just a fog and a fog. He has always tried his best to meet her requests, when has he ever refused her?

He won't admit this trumped-up charge!

Lu Anjin walked around his arm and said coldly, "Lord, men and women don't kiss, and please respect yourself." ”

Qi Xiaoyun's hand stiffened, and his face was ugly.

Lu Anjin blessed him slightly, and turned around and left with a broken heart.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling sorry for her humility. Because of her collapse to find that even though he was so ruthless and irresponsible, she still couldn't let him go!

I don't know what to do, but when I find it, it has taken root in my heart.

Lu Anjin closed her eyes in pain, and the tears she held back finally burst the embankment.

What is love and why is it so painful?

Because the emperor did not allow them to leave the capital, the three members of the Lu family could only stay in the capital honestly.

For example, today's disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and border changes are frequent, and the Jingshi is also treacherous, and everyone is in danger.

The court is more like a stage, and the ministers say every word to me, express their opinions, and argue with reason. There were few useful suggestions, and the useless war of words never stopped, and the emperor was often furious.

Mrs. Lu also delayed returning to Qinghe Palace, not because she didn't want to go back, but because she didn't dare to go back.

King Qinghe was the only king with a different surname in Eastern Qi, however, the emperor's attitude was hot and cold, which made people wonder. Therefore, Qinghe Wangfu has always been low-key, lest it invite death.

At this juncture, she didn't want to cause trouble to the Qinghe Palace.

"Mother, let's go see my grandfather and grandmother tomorrow."

Mother Lu shook her head slightly, "No need, my mother received a letter from your uncle, and I know that your grandfather and grandmother are in good health, so I am content." ”

"But..."

Mother Lu patted her hand, "Jin'er, your mother has received your heart, needless to say, your mother's heart has been decided." ”

Lu Anjin had no choice but to go with her.

Alas, she sighed heavily, the capital is really a place of right and wrong, if it is not necessary, she does not want to set foot in half a step in her life.
