Zhu Quan saw that this sedan chair was not only gorgeous and abnormal, but also that the sedan curtain was made of yellow silk, and his heart moved.

Xu Ying stretched out her hand and gently tugged at his sleeve, and said softly: "It seems to be Her Royal Highness the Princess's Luanjia, I have seen it on the street, you have to be careful to deal with it." ”

Zhu Quan heard her say that she was a princess, and couldn't help but put his heart at ease, and said in his heart: "I don't know if this princess is the sister or sister of my lord?" Thinking of this, he walked side by side with Xu Ying to the door of the mansion.

On the stairs of the palace gate, a man dressed as a general ran down the stairs, and the palace guards half-knelt on the ground to welcome the prince back to the palace. That partial general is naturally Zuo Hong, the brocade guard Qianhu who is in charge of guarding the palace.

Zhu Quan walked into the gate of the palace, Zuo Hong took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and whispered beside Zhu Quan: "Princess Anqing** and Ouyang Lun, the captain of the concubine, came to visit His Royal Highness in the mansion, and they have been having tea in the living room, accompanied by Mr. Jing. Her Royal Highness the Princess is the biological son of Empress Gao, and she is deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and she is your seventh sister. "Zuo Hong, as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, is naturally familiar with the internal affairs of the emperor's relatives and relatives. At this time, he was forced to have no choice, and his net worth was already tied to Zhu Quan, the fake His Royal Highness King Ning, so he naturally didn't want Zhu Quan's identity to be exposed.

Coming to the door of the large living room, Zuo Hong bowed and retreated. Xu Ying deliberately lagged half a step behind and followed Zhu Quan into the door.

Zhu Quan walked into the living room and looked up, but saw a girl in gorgeous costumes and palace costumes sitting on the guest seat, aged about ten ** years old, with a beautiful complexion. Next to her sat a young man in a green coat dressed as a scholar, aged twenty-three or four. I saw that this young man was handsome and very handsome, and he was turning his head to chat with Jing Kun, who was accompanying him. His own scholar Ma Sanbao was standing on one side to serve tea.

Zhu Quan's eyes swept over the three people in the hall, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, and said in his heart: How is it that I, the seventh sister, is a member of the royal family when she looks at her clothes, but this concubine is dressed ordinarily, just like a scholar of a rich and noble family?

Ouyang Lun and Jing Kun, the concubines in the hall, saw him return to the house, and they all stood up to greet him, but the princess glared at Zhu Quan with a puffed cheek, sat still, and did not speak. East! Square! Net .com

Ouyang Lun's face was filled with a gentle smile, and he arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the seventeenth brother for his ambition and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”

Zhu Quan knew that the opportunity that the other party said was naturally referring to the expedition to Liaodong with the army, so he smiled and wanted to speak.

"Serving in the army on the battlefield has its own dangers, but it is not the title of the gold list. What is there to congratulate? ** Hearing his husband's remarks, he couldn't help but glance at him. Turning his head and staring at Zhu Quan again, he feigned anger and said, "Brother Quan, are you not taking Seventh Sister and me in your eyes because you have been favored by your father recently?" Don't you come to say hello? ”

Zhu Quan pretended to straighten his clothes, came to Princess Anqing, and said seriously: "Seventh sister, the little brother is polite." ”

Seeing his pretentious attitude, he couldn't bear it, he laughed out loud, stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Quan to the chair beside him and sat down, and said coquettishly: "That's it, that's it." ”

As Xu Da's daughter, Xu Ying naturally knew etiquette, came to Princess Anqing, and said: "People's daughter Xu Ying, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." "When he speaks, he will bow down.

Since Yang Xu and the others entered the living room, most of their thoughts were on this beautiful girl who accompanied His Royal Highness King Ning back to the house. At this moment, Princess Anqing, as a woman, couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in her heart when she saw Xu Ying's appearance, and said in her heart: "I don't know which young lady in the family of the important ministers of the imperial court?" There is nothing to say about his appearance, but he is so inseparable from Brother Quan's deeds, and his temperament is only a little wild. Although he thought so in his heart, he still stretched out his hand to help his younger brother in front of him, and said softly: "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

Xu Yinggang thanked him and sat down. But I heard a clear man's voice laughing: "I have been waiting for Brother Quan's big ride for a long time, and I am wondering in my heart, why hasn't he returned until this time?" It turned out that he went on a trip with the eldest lady of Marshal Xu of Wei Guogong, no wonder, no wonder. There was a sense of sudden enlightenment under the words, and it was Ouyang Lun, the commander of the horses, who spoke.

Princess Anqing heard that Xu Ying's father was Xu Da, and she couldn't help but move in her heart, looked at Xu Ying carefully, and said in her heart: No wonder this Xu Ying is a woman, but there is a three-point heroic spirit between her eyebrows that ordinary women do not have, but it turns out that she is Marshal Xu's beloved daughter.

Zhu Quan didn't care when he heard these words, but Xu Ying was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: I have lived in a simple house since I was a child, and I have no contact with the emperor's relatives and nobles in the court, and I have never met this concubine, how can he only hear my name and see my family background? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Ouyang Lun, surprised in his heart.

Jing Kun was smiling and sitting silent, Xu Ying's expression fell in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart, and said in his heart: "This concubine Ouyang Lun is said to be still a scholar in the imperial examination, and I thought that it was only because he was quite talented and learned that he became the concubine of Her Royal Highness the princess." Looking at Xu Ying's expression, it is obvious that she has not been in the past with him. Just listening to the name, Xu Ying's family background was determined, and from this point of view, this concubine is also very attentive to the children of important ministers of the court on weekdays, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary nerds. It seems that he and Her Royal Highness the Princess are visiting today for another purpose.

Ouyang Lun didn't expect to see Xu Da's beloved daughter Xu Ying and King Ning inseparable in King Ning's mansion today, and secretly rejoiced that today's trip was worthwhile, looked at Zhu Quan with a smile, and said in his heart: Two days ago, this kid and his fourth brother Zhu Di participated in his father's military affairs at the court meeting, but today he is accompanied by this Marshal Xu's beloved daughter. Looking at the situation in the DPRK and China today, my father has already made up his mind to train the fourth brother and Zhu Quan into generals, replacing Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, a group of veterans. It seems that it is very likely that the fourth brother and Zhu Quan will lead the army to guard the border town in the future, and it will be very beneficial to my business to get close to Brother Quan in the future.

At this time, Princess Anqing stretched out her hand and pulled Zhu Quan's sleeve, and scolded softly: "Brother Quan, how to join the army on an expedition, you don't discuss such a major matter with Seventh Sister and me, so you took it upon yourself to ask your father for his life." The fourth brother followed the army on an expedition, and that's it, you don't let the prince go, but you have to go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, aren't you asking for hardship? ”

When Zhu Quan heard her say this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: If it weren't for your visit today, I wouldn't have known that I still have such a seventh sister. Besides, if I go to be a free prince as you said, I don't have the real power of the army under my command, but I'm afraid that when the crown prince Zhu Biao ascends the throne, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and these people have mastered the power of the court, I, the empty prince, can only pinch and rub them and be at the mercy of them. Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't help but be slightly moved when I saw that Princess Anqing's care for her was sincere. His eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "It was the younger brother who was afraid that the seventh sister would oppose it, and the younger brother's wish to join the army would be disappointed, so he had to cut it first and then play." ”

Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but flick his sleeves and said: "No, tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet my father, beg him to take back his life, and punish you to stay in the capital to accompany me." ”

Zhu Quan heard what his seventh sister said, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, secretly worried, and said in his heart: Looking at her words, it seems that she is deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, don't really obstruct my plan to join the army. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Jing Kun on the side.

Jing Kun guessed Zhu Quan's intentions, picked up the teacup and gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water, shaking his head slightly, indicating that he didn't have to worry.

Zhu Quan knew Jing Kun's wisdom, and when he saw that he was confident, he also temporarily put his mind at ease.

**Seeing Zhu Quan's worried look, he was proud, and when he turned his head and saw that Xu Ying was wearing a very elegant light yellow shirt, he couldn't help but get up and sit beside Xu Ying, and chatted with her about clothes. Although Xu Ying has martial arts, after all, she is also the heart of the girl's family, so she gradually became familiar with her.

Although Ouyang Lun came with his beloved wife, his mind was not to dissuade Zhu Quan from going on an expedition with the army, and seeing that the princess's mind was on Xu Ying, he sat on Zhu Quan's side.

Jing Kun saw that Ouyang Lun seemed to have something to talk to Zhu Quan, and he had a heart and a message, but because of his identity, he had no choice but to leave the hall.

Zhu Quan saw that this talented brother-in-law was sitting on his side, and couldn't help but feel a little big, for fear that Ouyang Lun would discuss hypnotic topics such as the Four Books and Five Classics with him, but because of etiquette, he couldn't escape it, and hurriedly said: "Seventh brother-in-law, why are you dressed so approachable, like an ordinary scholar, but not like a rich horse master?" If this matter reached the ears of his father, wouldn't it make him lose face? He knew that if he were to be semi-literate according to the ideas of the ancients, he was bent on leading the topic far away, so as not to be ugly.

After Ouyang Lun sat down, he felt a little unable to speak, and when he heard Zhu Quan's words, his heart moved, and he said with a wry smile: "My father himself advocates frugality, and his daily meals are often only three dishes and one soup. If my son-in-law is gorgeously dressed and swaggering through the market, I am afraid that he will be scolded even more. ”

Zhu Quan heard him say this, and recalled the scene when he and Zhu Di accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to eat in the imperial study, and couldn't help but be convinced. At this time, he heard that Ouyang Lun's speech was not as good as Fang Xiaoru's, and Huang Zicheng quoted scriptures, so he couldn't help but be very happy, and nodded in agreement.

Although Ouyang Lun is also a scholar from Jinshi, he is different from ordinary celebrities, and at this time he followed the topic and said: "Although I am favored by the princess and my father, I hope to achieve my own career. ”
