Chapter 127: Plotting in the Dark
Princess Xuanji?
The name was very unfamiliar, but Luo Qingluan remembered the girl he met in Jinxiuzhuang that day.
The girl was very impressed with her, her own beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament were rare, not to mention the arrogant appearance of the girl at that time, which left a deep impression on her. Luo Qingluan quickly thought about it, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and his eyes swept away: "It's actually Princess Xuanji of the Southern Wei Kingdom?" That's a coincidence. However, Princess Xuanji came to our Xichu for the sake of the affairs of the Four Nations Congress, right? I heard Nalan Ye talk about it, but I didn't know that the fifth prince and Princess Xuanji had such a good relationship, and they bothered you to invite me as an intermediary? ”
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingluan immediately noticed his special relationship with Princess Xuanji, Nangong Chen was naturally reluctant to expose it, and immediately denied it: "No, it's the first time I've seen Princess Xuanji, how can I say that I have a good relationship?" Sister Qingluan, you misunderstood, but it was because I happened to be present when she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Southern Wei Kingdom met with her father, so my father ......
"Okay, the fifth prince doesn't need to explain." Luo Qingluan interrupted Nangong Chen's words and said, "I didn't suspect anything, why should you panic?" If Princess Xuanji really wants to see me, it would be good for her to come to the Chu Palace. I came back to the General's Mansion today to see Hongyu, since she is not here, then I will go to her and not accompany the five princes. ”
After speaking, she turned around and left to find Hongyu, too lazy to listen to Nangong Chen's nonsense.
Looking at the back of Luo Qingluan leaving, Nangong Chen couldn't help but grit his teeth. It's a rare opportunity to get close to Luo Qingluan, but I didn't expect her to be still unceremoniously, even if he revealed so much to her last time, she didn't say anything about it, not even looking at him differently.
The loss in his heart was slowly replaced by anger, Nangong Chen's eyes became cold, and at this moment, a voice sounded behind him: "It turns out that she is Princess Chu!" This voice is beautiful and tactful, delicate like a fledgling in spring, which makes people's hearts tremble.
Nangong Chen immediately turned around, and when he looked at the girl in the green palace dress and gracefully dressed, he had already become full of smiles: "Princess Xuanji, can you see it clearly?" That one just now is Luo Qingluan, the king's aunt, since you can come to the general's mansion to see her, why don't you talk to her in person? ”
A sneering look flashed in her eyes, Bai Yixuan smiled slightly, and said unfathomable: "There are some words that you don't need to say to know, and some people you can understand without seeing them." ”
"What do you mean, princess?"
"It's not interesting, I'm going back, General Luo will bother the five princes to say, this princess will go first." Bai Yixuan's expression was indifferent, she didn't say anything more, and she didn't even look at Nangong Chen. With his hands in front of him, he left the Lilac Garden without looking back, with two equally pretty maids.
I was dumped by a woman again!
Nangong Chen stood in place, his eyes had become cold.
He was still a little tempted by Bai Yixuan, thinking that if he could marry her, it would be more likely to get Lin Xiaochen's help. He even prides himself on being a suave woman, and there is no woman who can't take it, but he didn't expect to be deflated under Luo Qingluan and Bai Yixuan one after another, and he didn't even get a good face, and he was a little impatient.
"Slut, what a temper! Wait for this king to sit on the throne, you are good-looking! Cursing viciously, Nangong Chen took a long time to calm down.
When Luo Qingluan found Hongyu in the original Wang Xueru's Yilan Courtyard and talked to her for a while, he understood what was going on today.
"Nangong Chen is still here with a woman?" Luo Qingluan looked at Hongyu with some surprise, she didn't expect to hear such news from her mouth.
Putting down the black chicken soup that the girl in her hand had just delivered, Hongyu looked at Luo Qingluan and said, "When she came, I didn't pay attention to it, so I thought it was a friend of the fifth prince, or his ......."
Hongyu smiled wryly and continued: "Until Princess Xuanji spoke, Qingluan, you were not there at the time, but you didn't know what she looked like, let alone say it to me, she didn't even look at the master, she was very arrogant." She directly told the lord that she would let me get out of Lilac Garden, regardless of whether I was pregnant or not. The master didn't dare to offend her, so he asked me to come here to rest temporarily. ”
A fierce color flashed on his face, and Luo Qingluan quickly returned to his normal color. No matter what this Princess Xuanji wants, she just waits, and the other party will naturally reveal her intentions. She didn't believe that this woman followed Nangong Chen to the General's Mansion, she was just idle and bored and had nothing to do.
But what exactly does she want to do?
Putting aside this thought for the time being, Luo Qingluan raised a smile: "Okay, leave them alone for now, Dad said that you are not feeling well, is it really fake?" ”
"What's uncomfortable, the master is just too nervous." As soon as it came to the matter of pregnancy, Hongyu came to her senses, sat on the wooden couch covered with soft cushions, brushed her lower abdomen and said: "Yesterday I was greedy for a while, and I drank more bowls of sour plum soup, and I had some diarrhea at night, but I have recovered this morning." Out of the way. ”
The sour plum soup tastes good, and Luo Qingluan also likes to drink it in the summer, but since Hongyu is pregnant, it is naturally not okay to drink more. She smiled slightly and said euphemistically: "It's just sour plum soup, it's nothing, but everything should not be too much." Hongyu, you see you are drinking diarrhea. Beware, but beware. ”
The relationship with Hongyu is also a relative and a friend, so Luo Qingluan basically talks to her in the same initial tone. will not treat Hongyu as a father and concubine just because she married Luocheng. Compared with Los Angeles, she felt more comfortable getting along with Hongyu and spoke more casually.
Covering his mouth and smiling, a flush flew on Hongyu's face, and he said shyly: "I just like to eat sour food for a while, and I accidentally drank too much yesterday." Not next time, don't worry. ”
"Well, you really like it, it's good to drink some occasionally, and the sour plum soup is also thirst-quenching, appetizing and refreshing. However, there is a large amount of hawthorn in it, and drinking too much is easy to stimulate the body, which is not good for the baby, and may also cause miscarriage, so you must pay attention to it in the future. ”
Finally a little surprised, Hongyu suddenly, her face became a little heavier, and nodded: "So that's the case, that's good, thank you Qingluan for reminding me." I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, she married Luo Cheng, who was more than 20 years older than herself, just to give birth to a boy and a half girl to rely on in the future. If something goes wrong with the child, she will regret not doing it at the beginning.
A little more grateful to Luo Qingluan for the reminder, Hongyu asked her some precautions, especially in terms of diet, and chatted with Luo Qingluan for a while before letting her go.
I thought that today's incident was an episode, Luo Qingluan didn't pay attention to it when he returned to the Chu Palace, and he didn't see anyone at night all day, and he heard the housekeeper say that he had gone from the early dynasty and never came back. She estimated that most of the emperor left Nalan Ye to discuss something, after all, he was the emperor's confidant, and now the parliament of the four countries was about to start, and there was also the matter of the fiftieth birthday, so it was estimated that he was also very busy.
It wasn't until dinner time that Nalan came back at night.
It's rare not to see him all day, Luo Qingluan actually felt a little bit when he saw him, and asked him if there was any news about the court today. Usually Li Nalan didn't hide much from her at night, and said that His Majesty had asked him to discuss how to hold his birthday.
"This is Your Majesty's 50th birthday, and in the past few years, it was done casually, but this year, looking at Your Majesty's posture, it should be a big one." Nalan Ye said while eating, and naturally put a pair of fried bamboo shoots cut into thin strips with chopsticks and put them in Luo Qingluan's bowl, and asked, "Gifts are inevitable, it depends on what to give." Qingluan, what do you say? ”
I was interested in that plate of chicken fried bamboo shoots, fresh and tender. Crispy, with a hint of sweetness, Luo Qingluan didn't mind how intimate Nalan Ye's act of serving her vegetables was, and she was eating deliciously, but she didn't expect Nalan Ye to ask her about gifts.
She said casually: "How to send it in previous years, how to send it this year?" ”
"Come on, these chicken wings are good, you can taste them." Nalan Ye put another chopstick into her bowl, and then stopped looking at her, there seemed to be a doting smile on his lips: "Qingluan, in previous years, Your Majesty didn't make a big deal, but this year is different." If it's just His Majesty's birthday, then it's easy to say anything you want, but it just happened to meet the parliaments of the four countries, needless to say, the three countries of Dongwan, Southern Wei and North Vietnam will also send people to participate, and this gift is exquisite. ”
Daintily? It's not a hint or a hint yet!
Although Luo Qingluan has never given gifts, he still has a spectrum for this kind of thing. She raised her eyes and looked at Nalan Ye with a smile: "Nalan Ye, are you still embarrassed about gift-giving?" ”
"It's not that it's embarrassing, it's just that this year is different from last year."
With a turn of his eyes, Nalan Ye seemed to have a touch of deep meaning in his eyes, and said loudly: "This year, this king has you as a princess, so you should be responsible for the natural gift-giving." Male protagonist and female protagonist, you are the head of the Chu Palace, and the matter of giving birthday gifts to His Majesty will be handed over to you this year. Qingluan, I'm sure you won't let me down. ”
What, leave it to her to handle the birthday gift? is so important, he is not afraid of her bad things?
"Hey, Nalan Ye, when is it my turn to worry about your business?" Luo Qingluan raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks and said, "It's not that you don't have money, and it's not that you can't find good things, you let the housekeeper deal with it, just bring it yourself when the time comes, why bother me?" ”
She still doesn't have enough time, this person actually wants to summon her? Think beautifully!
"Then how did you say yes?" As he spoke, Nalan Ye came over and said with an ambiguous face: "If you don't Qingluan, you are comfortable and comfortable for your husband tonight, you can help ......."
"Shut up!" Luo Qingluan's eyes widened, and he immediately interrupted his words, gritted his teeth and said, "Nalan Ye you want to be beautiful!" It's just a formality to say that we get married, but it's just because of the holy decree, you don't want to fight this girl's idea. If you want me to help you, bring the silver! ”
"What does silver mean? If you get the body of a husband, it is equivalent to having the heart of a husband, and you will have a great cause for your husband's family, not to mention a little silver, everything is yours. Qingluan, wouldn't it be better if you said this? ”
"Come less! Do you really want this girl to be a little bit of your stuff? ”
Seeing that she was about to stand up, Nalan Ye grabbed Luo Qingluan's hand, quickly brought her into her arms, and said in her ear seductively and in a low voice: "Then what are you rare?" Let's hear it, maybe a husband can satisfy you? ”
Suddenly fell into a wide and warm embrace, a clear and good smell came to his face, Luo Qingluan's heart jumped suddenly, and when he was about to push Nalan Ye away, he heard a voice outside: "Lord, princess, Princess Xuanji of the Southern Wei Kingdom sent someone to send a post." ”
