Chapter 48: Rewarding Grace
In the entire Dayong Dynasty, how many people can move Lou Yue?
Lin Yan also thought of who it was, so he kept telling Su Liuying to be careful and not to get too involved in Lou Yue's affairs, so as not to catch fire.
After Lin Yan left, Su Liuying returned to the camp tent and looked at Lou Yue who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she thought to herself, what was secretly trapped, as wise as him, must know it. Moreover, according to his temperament, he will not be calculated and silent.
But he has been quiet, what is he going to do next?
She poured charcoal into the brazier as she thought about her thoughts. Nanshan came in from outside, walked straight to the bed, and called out to the master.
Lou Yue opened his eyes and said coldly: "Is there any news?" ”
Hearing this, Su Liuying's heart was shocked, the movements in her hands slowed down, and she couldn't help but listen.
Nanshan glanced back at Su Liuying, then gritted his teeth and said: "What the master expected, according to reliable information, Da Sima has found the source of the private salt in the south. Therefore, some people are in a hurry, hoping that they can get the first hunt and save their lives in this winter hunt, so they will come up with such vicious tricks to deal with the ......."
Sure enough, he already knew about it, and sent Nanshan to start an investigation.
It's just that Su Liuying's mind is no longer on this matter at the moment. From the moment she heard the words 'Da Sima', her heart panicked, and the small tongs holding the charcoal trembled slightly.
Lou Yue listened to Nanshan's report, but her eyes fell on her coldly. The slightest change in her expression could not hide from his eyes.
He said coldly, "When will Da Sima return to Beijing?" ”
Nanshan originally thought that he would continue to inquire about the connection between the case of private salt and the third prince Yin Ming, but he didn't expect him to ask Da Sima's itinerary without a clue, and he was surprised, but when he saw Su Liuying on the side along with his eyes, he understood in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "Presumably I will return to Beijing before the New Year." ”
After speaking, he seemed to be unwilling, and added, "Princess Rongqing didn't just come back to guard him, so she didn't come to Winter Hunting." ”
Nanshan's intention when he said this was understood by the three people in the tent.
Su Liu's head was pressed very low, and he put the silver charcoal into the brazier one by one, his eyes were misty, but there was a trace of an obscure smile on the corner of his mouth.
And Lou Yue's gaze kept falling on her slightly pale face......
Until the end, Su Liuying finally did not open her mouth to ask Lou Yue again, asking him to take advantage of the opportunity of head hunting to ask the emperor for someone to take her out of the palace.
From the beginning of his trap, she finally understood how rare an emperor's promise was.
And how could the honor he had earned so hard be wasted for the sake of her little maidservant?
In the evening, a bonfire was set up in the open space in the middle of the camp, countless fine wines were served on the table, and freshly hunted game was made into various delicacies.
As the winner of the head hunt, Lou Yue inevitably became the focus of the audience, and was arranged to sit in the position closest to Emperor Huicheng, who was full of praise for him, and rewarded him with the first glass of wine, which attracted the envy of others.
After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Huicheng personally gave the imperial bow to Lou Yue, glanced at Princess Lishu, who was happy and shy next to her, and asked Lou Yue with a smile, what kind of grace do you want?
Before the banquet, Princess Lishu came to Lou Yue, hinting that he took this opportunity to ask for the grace of marriage, and now Emperor Huicheng's meaning is also obvious, and he also hopes that Lou Yue will take the initiative to ask to marry Lishu.
In an instant, the audience fell silent, and everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands, listening to what kind of grace the first prince of Quan Dayong would ask Emperor Huicheng for?
