Returning from Queen Wang, Luo Qingluan went straight back to the Chu Palace. Although she has come up with a solution, it is not so easy to implement, the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is easy to say, but to achieve it, I am afraid that it will take a short time.

It was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled in front of the court, a golden yellow, warm and very comfortable. Everything is still so familiar, but there is one less person around, Luo Qingluan stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the branches that sprouted new shoots in the garden, somewhat uncomfortable.

It would be nice if Nalan Ye was also by her side at this time! But at this time, Nalan Ye was on the front line, resisting the attack of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and she would encounter danger at any time, and she could not enjoy the tranquility of the moment like her.

It would be nice to wait until she had this thing settled, right? I only hope that before Nalan Ye returns victoriously, he can solve Xiao Ningyu, then there will be no worries.

"Miss, it's time to eat." At this time, Dai Yue pushed the door and came in.

Luo Qingluan looked back at dusk, and the trace of loneliness flashed inadvertently in her eyes, but was discovered by the sensitive Dai Yue: "Miss, are you still worried about Princess Duanrou?" Dai Yue said as she instructed her servants to bring the food into the house.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous dinners prepared by Daiyu, Ruoqingluan's heart warmed, no matter what, Daiyue has been with her for so many years, and she has served her very well, the two are like sisters, and she doesn't want Daiyue to worry too much.

Walking to the table, Luo Qingluan sat down, beckoned Dai Yue and said, "Dai Yue, sit down and eat together." ”

Dai Yue was not polite, when the prince was not in the house, she often accompanied the young lady to dine together. first helped Luo Qingluan serve a bowl of rice, and then served a bowl for herself, and then she sat down with chopsticks: "Miss, when will the King of Chu come back?" I saw that the young lady came back alone, and my heart was depressed. And during this time, the princess Duanrou always came to find fault, if the king of Chu came back, with him and the young lady to support him, it would be fine. ”

Luo Qingluan sighed and said softly: "I don't know, after all, things on the front line are changing rapidly, I just hope he can be safe and sound." ”、

Dai Yue smiled slightly and said, "Miss, you seem to have a much better relationship with King Chu?" I know I'm worried about him. ”

Luo Qingluan's heart jumped, and her face was slightly red, "You girl, why are you talking about this, eat your food!" ”

I hope so......

Dai Yue took a bite of food and said vaguely: "I don't care about Miss yet, if Miss has a good relationship with King Chu, then I will be relieved." If I can have a little son sooner, then I can still ......"

"Say it again!"

Seeing that Luo Qingluan's face was already red, and she had the posture of rolling up her sleeves to clean her up, Dai Yue grinned, and hurriedly lowered her head to eat and blocked her mouth, but she was very happy for her.

After eating, Dai Yue and her subordinates cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Luo Qingluan began to think about what happened today.

Since Xiao Ningyu has already made such a statement in front of the queen, it proves that she may use all kinds of means, as long as she can marry Nalan Ye, I am afraid that she can use all her scheming.

Luo Qingluan couldn't figure it out, why is there such a shameless woman in the world? Obviously someone else's husband, why does she feel that it is in her own pocket? To deal with such a woman, you have to be more ruthless than her, and you must not be soft!

Although the plan has already taken shape, Luo Qingluan still has to find someone to discuss it when it comes to implementation.

Early the next morning, Luo Qingluan went to the Second Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he saw her, Nangong Yu couldn't help laughing, obviously knowing what happened yesterday.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he teased: "Princess Chu, why do you have time to come to me early in the morning?" Aren't you supposed to be busy dealing with Princess Duanrou? She didn't look for you today? By the way, does Nalan know about this? If he doesn't know, I can send someone at once to send a letter to him with a hasten whip and eight hundred miles. ”

"You're enough, okay." Luo Qingluan's face sank, "Nangong Yu, I'm here to talk to you about business." If you want to mess around again, beware of me picking you up. ”

Suddenly startled, Nangong Yu remembered that several industries under his command were under Luo Qingluan's control, although he was the real boss, but without Luo Qingluan's help, how could he have earned so much money recently?

Immediately laughed dryly, Nangong Chen immediately put on a flattering look, completely without the majesty of the second prince: "Okay, good!" Princess Chu, can't you say it anyway? You have a lot of them, don't worry about me. Say, what's the matter with you coming to me? What do I need to do for you? ”

Nangong Yu was like a dog at this time, and began to please mode.

Looking at this man with an excellent temper and never had a fight, Luo Qingluan shook his head helplessly, and there was nothing he could do.

Since the two first realized in Mengxian Lou, the relationship is getting closer and closer, although there is no relationship between men and women, but this kind of friendship plus a little business contacts, this kind of unbreakable friendship also has a special role in promoting.

Compared with Nangong Qing, Luo Qingluan and Nangong Yu get along, it is much easier.

Luo Qingluan was just about to speak, but Nangong Yu suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my father didn't trouble you, right?" When you went to the palace yesterday to see your mother, did she ask you about this? ”

was a very ordinary sentence, but it made Luo Qingluan feel Nangong Yu's concern for her.

She smiled slightly and said, "No, it should be fine, when I talked to the queen mother yesterday, she didn't talk about it, but Princess Duanrou came, and it was a little unpleasant." ”

Hearing Luo Qingluan talk about Princess Duanrou, Nangong Yu's mind moved, and he said, "Hey, by the way, Princess Chu, should you be looking for me to give me an idea, it's because of Princess Duanrou's business?" This woman's purpose is not pure, and she also came up with such a generous condition to lure her father to agree. If you don't think of a way, I'm afraid that she will really succeed in her tricks. ”

Luo Qingluan nodded and said, "I came here because of this matter, I have an idea, but for specific implementation, I still need you to cooperate with me." ”

"Could it be ......" Nangong Yu thought for a while, "You say, what do you need me to do?" ”

After the maid served fragrant tea, Luo Qingluan also cleared her thoughts. Only then did she speak: "Nangong Yu, as the second prince, what are you doing business for so long?" Why should you be a businessman if you are a good prince, wouldn't this damage your status as a prince? ”

I have known Luo Qingluan for so long, and it was the first time Nangong Yu heard her ask. Although this is not a secret, it is still a little unnatural for him to say it directly.

After a pause, he spoke: "Qingluan, you are not an outsider. Although I am a prince, I have never had any superfluous thoughts, and I absolutely do not want to do any royal fights and fratricidal battles. ”

"Since I was born, my mother has taught me to assist my eldest brother well, help him ascend to the throne, and be an enlightened emperor, which I have kept in mind and agree with very much. What kind of person is Big Brother? I'm sure you also have a certain understanding. ”

Nangong Qing ......

A man with starry eyes and sword eyebrows appeared in front of Luo Qingluan's eyes, with a handsome and lofty expression.

Luo Qingluan still recognized Nangong Qingqing's ability, if he was the emperor in the future of Western Chu, he believed that his subjects should be able to live a rich and stable life, and the war would be reduced a lot.

Seeing that Luo Qingluan nodded, Nangong Yu continued, "So, I run Jinxiu Village, as well as Mengxian Building, all of which are to raise money. If you want to help your eldest brother ascend to the throne, you not only need to have Nalan Ye to expand the territory for him, but also need to guard against all covetousness, and money is indispensable. ”

Speaking of this, Nangong Chen glanced at Luo Qingluan, his face a little embarrassed.

Needless to say, Luo Qingluan also understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Are you guarding against Nangong Chen?" ”

Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "Yes, my fifth brother is very cautious, but he has a low eye, in fact, he is not suitable to be a prince at all, let alone an emperor." But he has never been self-aware, and he has raised countless strategists under his command to prepare for his accession to the throne in the future, don't think that all this is well hidden, in fact, Ziqing and his eldest brother have known for a long time. ”

"It's just that the father and the queen don't want to see our brothers kill each other, so they never said it, otherwise he would still be able to keep those methods until now?" There was a trace of disdain in Nangong Yu's eyes, but there was also a trace of helplessness.

As a prince, he can't help himself, although he can enjoy the rights and status that ordinary people can't reach, but correspondingly, the simplest family affection is a luxury for them.

Luo Qingluan smiled, "Okay, not to mention Nangong Chen's unpopular goods, he is definitely not your opponent, now what?" You know what I'm worried about what I'm upset about? Nangong Yu, do you think Princess Duanrou's trip was her personal willfulness, or is there something else hidden in it? ”

Perhaps when Xiao Ningyu came to Xichu on the first day of Dongwan, Nangong Yu thought about this problem.

He immediately said: "Needless to say, she is naturally a woman who can't make such a fuss because of marriage." After all, the fate of two countries is at stake, and the weight of a princess is a little insufficient. There must be Emperor Dongwan behind this matter. ”

After thinking about it all night last night, Luo Qingluan also felt so, she frowned, with a hint of imperceptible solemnity on her face.

Although Xiao Ningyu said it simply, she came to Xichu just to marry Nalan Ye, but the conditions she threw out were so generous that people had to suspect that things must be demons! She absolutely did not believe that Emperor Dongwan was willing to pay the price of 100,000 soldiers and a rich dowry, just to marry her baby princess to a man who had already married.

Even though that man is a prince, has great military achievements, and is famous, it is definitely not worth such a big price for Emperor Dongwan. It is conceivable that there must be a deep meaning behind it.

Nangong Yu also said: "I have discussed this matter privately with my eldest brother, and we all have the same opinion. Dongwan's side is ostensibly here for the marriage of Princess Duanrou, but it is very likely to test the reality of our Xichu. After all, five years ago, Nalan Ye led the army to defeat North Vietnam, laying the foundation for Western Chu's current status. Directly rose from the last place in the ranking to the second position, which is likely to give Dongwan a sense of crisis. ”

"But they couldn't figure out our reality and reality, so they let Princess Duanrou use the marriage to test the reality with these 100,000 soldiers. If the father really agreed to their request, it would prove that we could not resist the attack of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and we needed the help of his 100,000 troops very much, which shows that the strength of Western Chu is nothing more than that. ”

"And ......"

Obviously, Nangong Yu has analyzed this matter thoroughly and has thought of all possibilities: "If we really use Dongwan's 100,000 troops, in case something happens on the battlefield...... If Dongwan harbors evil intentions, and they turn around to deal with it when the time comes, who knows if they have colluded with North Vietnam or Southern Wei, will they take the opportunity to unite against Western Chu and benefit from the three parties? No one can say for sure. ”

Luo Qingluan nodded, "That's what I mean, don't think too simple about everything, it's better to be careful." However, it is better not to leak it out until the matter is confirmed, so as not to cause a commotion. ”

Nangong Yu also thought: "This matter is not trivial, if it is known by someone with a heart and spreads rumors, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil and chaos in the government and politics." Don't worry, it's good that the two of us know about this matter, and we must not fall into the ears of a third party. I won't even say anything about the eldest brother, so I'll see if I want to discuss it with the eldest brother after I confirm it. ”
