Chapter 7 (1st Update)
The emperor was not in good health, and the queen mother was also old, so not long after Yun Chi returned to Dongyuan, the two of them drove back to the palace to rest.
After the emperor and the queen mother left, the guests of the East Palace let go of their restraints, pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and it was really lively.
Only Jing Guogong of the older generation did not come, and the rest of the people Zhao Zaifu, Anyang Wang, and Wu Weihou were all there, and the younger generation of Su Ziqi, Lu Zhiling, An Shuli and the talents of Xinke took the opportunity to get acquainted with each other.
Although Lu Zhiling said that he must drink well tonight, he didn't dare to drink too much, after all, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married smoothly, the capital is currently very stable, and no one is making trouble, but he is not allowed to make moves at night.
Su Ziqi is also, what he wants in this life is nothing more than to be well-behaved, as long as she is good, he will be fine. Therefore, he didn't drink too much, and like Lu Zhiling, they were tacitly sober with each other.
On the contrary, the little fox beside him saw the good wine, but drank a jar of wine, and drank very excitedly, and his two paws hooked the corner of the table table and swinged, and the fox's tail was cocked, and he looked very pleasing to him.
An Shuli drank more, after all, he had just handed in an errand now, and he had nothing to do.
Lu Zhiling asked An Shuli, "Brother, are you ready?" Entering the court? ”
An Shuli raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "If I say that I don't plan to enter the court, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can agree to let me go?" ”
Lu Zhiling laughed, "That means you're ready?" ”
An Shuli smiled and glanced at Su Zi, "Sort of!" Several brothers have entered the court, and with His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a lot to do, if I don't get motivated, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, my father and mother will not be able to spare me. ”
Lu Zhiling patted him on the shoulder and picked up the wine cup, "Brother, congratulations on you figured it out." ”
An Shuli touched him lightly and drank it all with a smile.
The Seventh Princess walked over at this time and shouted, "Lu Zhiling! ”
Lu Zhiling's body stiffened, and his first reaction was to want to escape, but he held back again, secretly thinking that he was used to escaping? He used to be able to escape, he was young at that time, and he didn't think about it, but now that he has grown up after all, the house is full of guests, if he runs away like this, the seventh princess has a thin face, and it is estimated that she will not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life.
So, he slowly turned his head, looked at the seventh princess, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to smile, "The seventh princess is good." ”
The seventh princess originally thought that Lu Zhiling would not pay attention to her, or run away when she heard her voice like every time, but she didn't expect that now he turned back to talk to her, and she looked at him for a while, a little stunned.
Lu Zhiling has never looked at the Seventh Princess properly, in his eyes before, the little girl loves to cry and annoyance, I don't know how to like him, chasing him to be good with him, he can't stand it the most, so she chases hard, and he hides hard.
Now he is sitting at the wine table, full of guests, looking at the seventh princess in front of him, and finds that although this girl has the identity of a princess, she doesn't seem to be so delicate, maybe because she, for so many years, has been used to being seen as a joke, so she has polished it more calmly.
He thought to himself that all she was asking for was an answer, and that he would give it to her.
The seventh princess stayed for a while, and there were some emotions in her heart, she was a little girl who couldn't hide her thoughts, and in a blink of an eye, she appeared on her face, looking at Lu Zhiling with a pretty face, in his scrutiny, she lifted her heart and plucked up the courage to say, "I have something to tell you." ”
Lu Zhiling blinked, compared to the nervousness of the seventh princess, he was used to it, and he was very calm, but he still asked with a smile, "Okay, are you talking here, or are you looking for a place to say?" ”
The guests noticed the movement here, and gradually calmed down and looked over.
For so many years, the Seventh Princess likes Lu Zhiling, no one knows, no one knows, taking advantage of the lively wine, there are many people who watch the excitement, but some people pity the Seventh Princess, and feel that Lu Zhiling doesn't understand Fengyue, and if he is someone else, he has long been happy to accept the beauty into his arms.
But think about it, the identity of the seventh princess, since ancient times, the horse does not hold heavy soldiers, Lu Zhiling does not want to be a princess, it is understandable, after all, it is the Jingguo Mansion, and it has always relied on military merits to stabilize the court.
The seventh princess looked at Lu Zhiling's eyes and wanted to find a place to say, but the surroundings were suddenly too quiet, and it was such a night, it was inevitable that others would not guess wildly, so she stabilized her mind, thinking that if it was the fourth sister-in-law, she would definitely not be as useless as her, she took a deep breath and said, "Just say it here." ”
Lu Zhiling was a little surprised, glanced left and right, the guests were all watching the excitement with relish, he smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed Su Zi Chop, "Give up a position, how can you let the princess stand?" ”
Su Zi glanced at Lu Zhiling, didn't say anything, and moved a position to the side.
Lu Zhiling patted Su Zi's position and smiled at the Seventh Princess, "Come, sit down and say." ”
The seventh princess was a little flattered, and she couldn't hold Lu Zhiling's thoughts, she paused for a while, and slowly shook her head, "I'll just say a word, I'll leave after speaking, no...... Don't sit anymore. ”
Lu Zhiling didn't force it when he heard this, and bowed his head, "Okay, then you can say it." ”
The Seventh Princess took two deep breaths, "Lu Zhiling, I want to marry you, you...... Will you marry me? ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
Lu Zhiling was also stunned, he originally thought that the seventh princess would ask if you like me like every time, but he didn't expect that now it has risen directly to whether to marry or not. He touched his nose, and suddenly regretted that he didn't pull her to find a place to carry someone.
The seventh princess stared at Lu Zhiling's eyes, and when the words came out, her whole person suddenly relaxed, she thought, if Lu Zhiling shook her head, after today, she would really let go, but it is estimated that no one in the rich and noble people of the Manchu Dynasty would dare to marry her, after all, in front of the public, it is really inappropriate for her to ask a man so blatantly, and she will lose the face of the royal family, and people who talk about the rules will not dare to marry her.
Lu Zhiling was thinking about how to answer her, so he stayed for a while.
Su Ziqi said with a smile at this time, "There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches." Lu Zhiling, the blessing is coming, just take it, don't regret it later, no one sells regret medicine. ”
Lu Zhiling shuddered and turned his head to look at Su Zi.
Su Ziqi's face is in the half-bright light and shadow, with the drunken and red-faced wine and coolness.
Lu Zhiling suddenly understood what he meant, covered his lips and coughed, and muttered in a low voice, "Marriage is a big deal, how can it be child's play?" ”
The seventh princess kept staring at Lu Zhiling, although Lu Zhiling's words were small, she still heard them clearly, she thought, how many years, she should be dead, she doesn't like a person, no matter how hard she asks, she can't force it. So, she bit her lip and said, "I see." As the words fell, she turned and left.
Lu Zhiling: "Alas? With a sigh, he looked at the back of the seventh princess, and suddenly said, "What did I say?" ”
Su Ziqi snorted lightly, "You know what to say." ”
Lu Zhiling scratched his head, struggled for a moment, suddenly got up, his movements were very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he caught up with the seventh princess who hadn't walked a few steps, and grabbed her arm, "You wait." ”
The seventh princess paused, turned around, looked at Lu Zhiling, her eyes were red, and she deliberately said fiercely, "You don't want to marry me, why do you come here to drag me?" ”
Lu Zhiling was embarrassed for a moment, but after he was cheeky, he looked at her, thought about it, and said tentatively, "Is it okay to discuss?" ”
The seventh princess was puzzled, "What discussion?" ”
Lu Zhiling coughed again, "I drank a little too much today, and I don't dare to reply to you easily, tomorrow, no, three days later, you ...... You ......" he wanted to say that you would look for me again, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words again, gritted his teeth and said, "I will look for you in three days and give you an answer." ”
The heart of the seventh princess was like a roller coaster, high and low, and she didn't speak for a while.
Lu Zhiling looked at her and asked, "Okay?" ”
The seventh princess looked at him with some suspicion, "After the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law get married, you won't leave for the southwest territory immediately, right?" Are you running away from me again? ”
Lu Zhiling shook his head with a headache, secretly thinking that the little girl had even said the plan to delay the army, and laughed angrily, "No, you said to marry, it's really ...... It's so solemn, I have to think it through. When the words fell, he tried to explain, "Marriage matters do need to be cautious, I ...... I don't know if I can be good to you, once I answer you, I will be responsible for you, and there has never been an irresponsible man in the Jingguo Mansion, that ...... If I can't do it, I'd rather not agree to you. ”
The seventh princess's heart was sweet and sour, and for a while, she was full of emotion, and whispered with red eyes, "Lu Zhiling, I didn't misunderstand you." ”
Lu Zhiling's eyes moved again, and he finally turned around, "Then you agree?" ”
The seventh princess nodded, pulled her arm out of his hand, and said word by word, "I have liked you for so many years, not three days, I will wait for you to reply to me." With that, he turned around and left.
She walked very crisply, with fast steps, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lu Zhiling stood in place, stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, turned around, and sat back at the table.
Someone coaxed, "Lu Shizi, have a drink!" ”
Lu Zhiling slapped the table, "Pour wine!" ”
An attendant poured wine.
Lu Zhiling drank happily.
Some people applaud, some people envy, the older generation thinks that Lu Zhiling has grown up and is not so bastard in handling things. The young people of the same generation feel that if they talk about the spring breeze, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who married today, it is estimated that it belongs to the Lu Shizi of the Jingguo Mansion. was originally the princess's brother-in-law, and he was liked by the seventh princess, although the Jingguo Mansion is not rare, but others are rare.
