Early the next morning, Su Liang took Wei Ranze out of the palace to the largest restaurant in the capital, Yi Huihui.

Since ancient times, people have been light and wealthy, and they have returned to their hometowns with hometown flavors.

Wei Ranze thought that the person who could take such a name should be an open-minded person.

Su Liang and Wei Ranze chose a more remote location in the lobby, which was not eye-catching.

ordered a few signature dishes in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper poured tea for the two of them and went to the side to work.

In the restaurant today, everyone is talking about the proposal between the four princes of Xijiao and Miss Nangong last night.

"Uncle Su, what happened last night in the palace of the Southern Wei Kingdom is known to everyone in the capital today. Very well informed! Wei Ranze was a little surprised at how quickly the news spread.

"Who do you think is the message?" Su Liang didn't say anything directly, but threw a question to Wei Ranze. Sooner or later, Wei Ranze will be the emperor of Beiling, and some things are not answers but thinking.

As soon as he heard this, Wei Ranze was gloomy, and it was no accident that the news came out so quickly. He thought for a moment and said, "Xixiang people?"

Su Liang smiled happily after hearing this, and said, "Tell me."

"But three batches. Emperor Nanwei, a native of Xixiangguo, a native of Nangong Mansion. It is still early to get married, and Emperor Nanwei will not be in a hurry about this matter, after all, both parties are still young. The people of Nangong Mansion may speak out in order to increase their prestige, but last night it was obvious that Queen Nanwei came up with a method in order to elect her sisters, but Miss Nangong stole the limelight. And the people of Xixiang country, when the news is released, people's attention will be attracted to the past, which is an excellent cover-up. ”

Su Liang nodded, and then asked, "Then how did the people of the Xixiang Kingdom spread this matter to everyone in such a short time?"

"Take the spies planted in the South Conquer and use them to spread the word." Wei Ranze said without thinking.

"Then let me ask you, how many spies have we planted in the capital of the Southern Range?" Su Liang asked.

Wei Ranze thought about it, there were probably only twenty people. Although secretly everyone will know that there are spies from other countries, but the number is not good, after all, it is easy to find out if there are many people, and if it is involved, it is to have other thoughts. Xixiang Kingdom would not be stupid enough to place a bunch of spies in the capital of Nanwei Kingdom, but how could those dozen people spread the news to everyone in the early morning?

Wei Ranze's face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Uncle Su, do you mean that the Xixiang Kingdom may have already formed an alliance with the courtiers of Nanwei?"

Su Liang smiled and said softly: "It should be like this, the specific courtier is not yet known." can have this force, and is not afraid of being found to be involved, I think it should be Prime Minister Chulou. ”

"Prime Minister?" Wei Ranze was a little incredible, he thought about it, if someone deliberately went to find out who passed it on, even if he found the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Chu Lou's family has a big business, there are hundreds of servants in the family, and his daughter is the mother of the country.

I see, Wei Ranze thought to himself, he still didn't think comprehensively enough.

As he spoke, the dishes were all on the table. The taste of Nanwei cuisine is really good, slightly sweet, and there is a freshness like mint that makes it sweet but not greasy.

Wei Ranze's control over food was okay, but this time he couldn't help but eat more.

"If Nanwei Country is not far from our Beiling, you can bring some back to my mother to taste, she will definitely like this taste." Suddenly, I thought of a good idea: "Why don't you buy a cook here and bring it back?" ”

"Your mother has traveled to many places, how can she not taste the dishes of the Southern Latitude Kingdom. To tell you the truth, your mother also thought of such a method at the beginning, but later found out that the cooks here are not willing to leave their hometown, no matter how much they spend, they can't be hired. Then your mother had to give up. ”

"Why?"

"Not every household can cook this kind of food, but this hometown restaurant has such craftsmanship. I heard that the chefs here have sworn a vow since they learned their craft, and one of them is that they will never leave their hometown. Maybe the owner of this restaurant is a homesick person! ”

……

The two of them were enjoying delicious food at the table, and on the other side, Nangong Yu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning to plead guilty.

Prime Minister Chu Lou didn't show that he was very angry, but just smiled and said something that didn't make sense: "Lord Yushi has raised a good daughter!"

Nangong Yu knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed: "Prime Minister, the little girl is not sensible, and I hope that the adult will forgive her sins!"

Chu Lou hurriedly helped Nangong Yu to get up, and comforted: "I don't mean to blame, it's that the little girl can't complain about others because of her poor piano skills."

After listening, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. I heard Chu Lou say again: "No accident, Ling Qianjin will be the queen of Xixiang Kingdom in the future, then we should be a family!"

"What do you mean by that, my lord?" Nangong Yu had a faint bad premonition.

"That's open and honest." Chu Lou turned around and sat on the chairman's seat, and said unhurriedly: "You also know that Emperor Nanwei is addicted to wine and has no climate, but your future son-in-law is a capable person." In the future, it is only a matter of time before Nanwei becomes a subsidiary of the Xixiang Kingdom, and the bird chooses a good tree to perch on, this truth, Lord Nangong should understand. ”

"This ......" Nangong Yu was nervous and didn't dare to speak. After all, this is a matter of treason! However, since Chu Lou told him this, he would not give him a chance to expose it. He revealed that the emperor's old father-in-law was guilty of treason, who would believe it? Besides, if he doesn't agree, it is estimated that the Cloudy Imperial History Mansion will cease to exist in the capital.

Seeing that Nangong Yu was a little hesitant, Chu Lou said with relief: "This family affair has been decided, so that Qianjin will definitely become the queen of Xixiang Kingdom in the future, which is only good for you."

……

Nangong Yu hesitated for a moment, although he was not a loyal man, he also grew up reading the book of sages. But this matter is about the family and life, and the current situation is like this, so we can only take one step at a time. Chu Lou was not in a hurry to urge him. For a long time, Nangong Yu seemed to have made up his mind and saluted respectfully.

"I want to serve my lords."

The group of Beiling Kingdom and Xixiang Kingdom stayed in Nanwei for about half a month, and then said goodbye and returned to China. The Nanwei Palace has returned to its former calm.

There are many things that are not in a hurry now, and time will always push forward.

……

Five years later.

"Qinghuan, there is no class on a cloudy day, what are you going to do?" A little boy walked beside Lu Qinghuan and asked her urgently.

Lu Qinghuan didn't slow down, he still walked forward, but he also replied to him: "I heard that there is a bonfire festival in the town outside the cloudy city, I plan to go there for a visit!"

"Okay, then I'll go too! What time do you leave on a cloudy day? The little boy laughed happily and asked persistently.

"I don't know what time it is, I still have something to do, I'll see you then!" After speaking, Lu Qinghuan ran to the gate of the palace and parked the car to pick her up.

The little boy didn't chase after him, and reluctantly watched Zhao Shuying take Qinghuan into the car and leave.

"Your Highness, let's go back!" The eunuch on the side reminded the little boy softly.

This little boy is Chu Rong's only son, Zhao Jinyu, the crown prince of Nansheng Kingdom.

In recent days, the Taishi has taken a leave of absence, and he will not be able to see Qinghuan for several days. Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyu was a little sad. But Lu Qinghuan just said that he was going to see the bonfire festival on a cloudy day, so he had to prepare for it.

So he said to the eunuch beside him: "You go to ask the queen mother to ask Her Royal Highness to go out of the palace to see the bonfire festival on a cloudy day, and the car is ready to drive or something!"

"Yes."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he commanded again: "Tell the imperial dining room to prepare a few boxes of osmanthus cakes in the morning!"

"Yes." The eunuch on the side respectfully agreed. Of course, he knew what his master had in mind. The osmanthus cake in the palace is the favorite cake of the girl of the Lu family, but she just wants to please people.

This little prince was taken care of all the way by himself, although he was not his own, but he was better than his own. The little prince is still young, but his heart is excellent, but it's a pity that he took a fancy to the girl of the Lu family. The eunuch shook his head helplessly, and then immediately led Zhao Jinyu back, and sent someone to do what the little prince ordered.

In the Fengluan Palace.

Chu Rong leaned on the couch and leisurely flipped through the book in front of him. The little eunuch who had just come to report was still kneeling on the ground waiting for orders.

Chu Rong's voice was a little lazy, and she asked, "Are you saying that the prince is going because the girl from the Lu family is going?"

"Yes."

There was a trace of disgust in Chu Rong's eyes, and she ordered: "This palace suddenly felt a little unwell, so I asked the prince to come to my palace to serve in the morning." Go down. ”

"Yes." After the little eunuch got down, he bowed respectfully and went out.
