Chapter Twenty-Five: News of the Western Expedition

Lu Zhaoling waited for a while.

Before Bai Xi could come over, Princess Yuquan had already shot the chickens and dogs in the racecourse.

Lu Zhaoling heard the two little eunuchs chatting quietly.

"Yesterday, Princess Yuquan accidentally shot the ass of the palace maid next to Concubine Qi."

"Princess Yuquan and Concubine Qi Niang have not dealt with each other for a long time, are they really careless?"

"The problem is, looking at Princess Yuquan's posture, it doesn't look like she can deliberately shoot anything."

"Poof, you're right." A little eunuch couldn't help but laugh.

In short, Concubine Qi was furious, and some others complained that it was too dangerous to let Princess Yuquan shoot arrows. So today she picked a time when there were fewer people to come. ”

After chatting for a few words, the two also gloated together at the group of unlucky people on the horse farm.

When Bai Xi arrived, Lu Zhaoling was watching Princess Yuquan riding a horse from a distance.

"I met the second sister today, so be careful to dodge later." Bai Xi said with a smile.

Lu Zhaoling also laughed twice, and then asked, "Why is it so late?" Is there anything delayed? ”

"Father suddenly announced me." Bai Xi said.

"Oh, what's the matter? If you're busy, you don't have to accompany me. ”

"Zhaoling ......" Bai Xi was a little speechless.

"Huh?"

“…… Alas, blame me for not telling my father first. My father called me and said that he had made an appointment with the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family to accompany me during the autumn hunt. ”

The emperor made an appointment with the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family for Bai Xi, obviously intentionally matching, if Lu Zhaoling was still aside, it was indeed a little inappropriate.

"Oh...... Such. I know. Lu Zhaoling nodded, without too much expression.

"I'll help you ask ...... again," Bai Xi still wanted to remedy.

"No, she's with me." Shen Fengjiu interjected.

"Following you?" Bai Xi frowned suspiciously, "Father Emperor actually allowed you to participate in the royal autumn hunt?" ”

Shen Fengjiu didn't speak, as if he didn't bother to explain.

“…… He said that the emperor invited him to go. Lu Zhaoling had no choice but to explain for Shen Fengjiu on the side.

Bai Yu was silent for a while, looking at Shen Fengjiu with a rather complicated expression.

Shen Fengjiu glanced at him as if he knew what Bai Yu was thinking, and said lightly: "I am not the emperor's illegitimate son. ”

Shen Fengjiu's words, Bai Xi was a little speechless, but he didn't feel too surprised.

Thinking about his father's attitude towards him, it is indeed not like this kind of relationship.

Bai Xi thought in his heart.

When he came back to his senses, he said to Shen Fengjiu with a smile: "Shen Gongzi seems to know everything. ”

Shen Fengjiu ignored it.

Bai Xi is also used to it.

"Fortunately, with Shen Gongzi, Sister Zhaoling can also participate in the autumn hunt as she wishes. It's me who is so useless. Bai Xi turned his face to Lu Zhaoling and said, with a bitter smile.

"Don't say that, of course what the emperor tells you is important. Besides, it was originally a matter of trouble for you to help, and even if it didn't work out, how could I blame you? I'm not ungrateful. Lu Zhaoling said earnestly.

"Zhaoling, you are too kind." Bai Xi said softly.

In such a palace, you are the only one, as pure as a pool of clear water.

--

When there were still three days before the autumn hunt, the emperor issued a holy decree to determine the itinerary of the western expedition.

Three days after the end of the autumn hunt, the army will set off, according to His Majesty's will, to use this autumn hunt to boost the morale of our army.

"Why are you going to go west all of a sudden? Princess, do you know what's going on? Qiu Xi, who got the news, was in a hurry.

"I heard that there was a rebellion in the county, but I don't know the details. But don't worry, maybe Liuguo didn't participate, after all, the emperor didn't want to execute me. Lu Zhaoling was also a little worried, but he still comforted Qiu Xi.

Hearing Lu Zhaoling say "execution", Qiu Xi almost fainted.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Qiu Xi's panicked appearance speechlessly, but he was not so panicked.

"I'll ask the second prince later, and see if I can get the news of the Ryuk Kingdom." Lu Zhaoling said to Qiu Xi.

"You believe him?" Shen Fengjiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at this ghostly guy, and always felt angry: "I don't believe him, do I believe you?" Even if I want to believe you, you have to tell me something, and you won't say anything. ”

"Li Xuan leads the troops." Shen Fengjiu said.

The implication is that you can go to Li Zhu'er and ask her to ask her father.

"I know. But Li Zhu'er ...... I don't know if I'm still angry or not. Lu Zhaoling hesitated.

"Ask her."

“…… You're talking about it simply. ”

Li Zhu'er is obviously avoiding me, I'm afraid she won't see me at all.

Lu Zhaoling thought dejectedly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I met Li Zhuer at the racecourse that afternoon.

And looking at the way she looked around, she was obviously looking for someone.

Did you come to me?

Lu Zhaoling thought with some anticipation.

As a result, as soon as her eyes met Li Zhu'er from a distance, she immediately avoided it in a panic.

……

This time is usually just me and Bai Xi, and occasionally a Princess Yuquan is added. Who are you looking for, not me......

Lu Zhaoling thought suspiciously.

Let's go first......

Lu Zhaoling walked in the direction of Li Zhu'er.

Who knew that Li Zhu'er stole a few glances at Lu Zhaoling, looking like a thief, seeing Lu Zhaoling getting closer and closer to her, she actually turned over and got on the horse and slipped away.

Eh......

Lu Zhaoling was dumbfounded and stunned for a while.

Sure enough, you still don't want to be close to me?

Lu Zhaoling thought slackly and decided to go farther obediently.

However, as soon as she turned around and walked a few steps, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind her, and then Li Zhu'er hurriedly reined in her beside her, and then deliberately "coughed" twice.

Lu Zhaoling looked up at Li Zhu'er, who was riding a horse condescendingly.

"You're looking for ...... Is there something going on with Hongu? Li Zhu'er made a proud look and said to Lu Zhaoling.

"Uh...... It's okay. ”

“……”

The two looked at each other for a while.

"Then I won't bother the mother." Lu Zhaoling raised his feet and wanted to leave.

"Huh!" Li Zhu'er hurriedly called out to her, "You-uh......"

Lu Zhaoling looked at Li Zhu'er in confusion, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Li Zhu'er's eyes flickered for a moment, and her heart was empty, and then she cleared her throat and said: "Ahem, this palace seems to have something to ask you for, so I came to ask you with great compassion, you don't twist and pinch here, and this palace will say you when you ask!" ”

Lu Zhaoling stared at Li Zhu'er and didn't speak for a long time, the more time passed, the more weak Li Zhu'er became.

"Ben, Ben Gong asked you!" Li Zhu'er said sharply again.

Lu Zhaoling blinked, but still didn't squeak.

Seeing that Li Zhu'er was gradually about to lose her breath, she began to show a little panicked, a little aggrieved and angry, and her cheeks were a little red, Lu Zhaoling finally laughed out loud.

"I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it should be right. You'd love to come and talk to me, right? ”。

Lu Zhaoling looked at Li Zhu'er with a smile and felt that her awkward appearance was very cute.
