Luo Qingzhi knelt on the cushion, touched Bai Yujue on her waist, and did not answer.

Then she changed the topic and said lightly: "Actually, these rumors will not hurt me in the slightest, Your Majesty does not need to be angry." ”

Gao Yan also saw the jade jue on Luo Qingzhi's waist and said, "You have been wearing it?" ”

"Your Majesty gave it, how dare you not wear it." Luo Qingzhi replied.

It seemed that he had made up his mind, Gao Yan called loudly.

"Huang Shi."

"The slave is here."

"Let Zhongshu Province immediately draft an edict to recruit a son-in-law for the county lord, and tomorrow, I will see it posted on the streets and alleys of Jinling."

Gao Yan's words clearly entered Luo Qingzhi's cochlea word by word, and she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen can make a vow and never marry, Your Majesty." ”

“...... Arlo, I am for your reputation. Gao Yan said.

Luo Qingzhi knew in her heart that Gao Yan cared about her reputation, but she also cared about the succession to the throne.

After the palace change, Gao Yan had decreed that his sister-in-law would inherit the title of King of Pingbei, if he allowed the message to ferment, then in order to save the face of the royal family, the ministers would write to Gao Yan to marry him and Gao Zhen, if the two had another child, the child would become the most powerful contender for the throne.

Gao Yan believed in her and guarded against her.

Under the stalemate, Huang Shi did not walk out of the hall, Gao Yan snorted and breathed, he was already on the verge of anger, but it seemed to be suppressing it again.

“...... Arlo, I will never give you a marriage to that commoner, and recruiting a wife is the best way. ”

For the first time, Huang Shi saw his majesty explain his approach to his courtiers, and secretly concluded to himself, "The county lord of Anning is different from others. ”

Luo Qingzhi heard what Gao Yan meant, thought for a while, and said: "Then, the minister hopes that Your Majesty will promise me, first, I can participate no matter what I say, and second, I have to make my own choice in the final round." ”

"I can hear the words of the county lord." Gao Yan asked.

Huang Su immediately replied: "The slave heard it." ”

Huang Shi left, Gao Yan walked to Luo Qingzhi's side, sat in a row with her, and completely put down the emperor's shelf. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Luo, do you already have someone you like?" ”

After Gao Yan asked, his eyes flickered, he picked up the wine on the desk, and was just about to drink it, but was stopped by Luo Qingzhi and said, "Your Majesty is drinking medicine, you can't drink alcohol." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer Gao Yan's question, took the wine glass, and muttered to herself: "My aunt died in childbirth in order to give birth to me, when I first heard this statement, I ran to ask my father," Luo Qingzhi raised his head, thought for a while and continued: "I asked him why someone died. ”

"What did the master say?" Gao Yan asked. Gao Yan has always been raised by Luo Huaiyi and recognizes him as a master.

Luo Qingzhi took another sip of wine and said, "My father didn't answer my question, he just told me that my name was thought of by my mother." ”

"I know." Gao Yan said: "Zhitongzhi means to stop the war with war. ”

Luo Qingzhi turned her head to look at Gao Yan and said, "Yes, it is the Luo family to stop the war with war, and it is what the Pingbei Army has always firmly believed, but ten years at the border, I, I see a difference." ”

Gao Yan asked gently, "What do you see?" ”

Snow began to fly outside the hall, obviously Jinling City was already very cold, but Yuzhou, thousands of miles away in the north, was even colder, and the snowflakes were like knives, blowing on the face and hurting.

"When the battlefield was cleared, some of the soldiers in the two countries were still very young, just like me back then." Luo Qingzhi said word by word.

Gao Yangang wanted to say sorry, but Luo Qingzhi continued: "The orphans who stole in Yuzhou City, and the tombs on the lonely mountain. ”

“......”

Gao Yan sighed and said, "Ah Luo, there will be sacrifices in the war between the two countries. ”

Luo Qingzhi shook her head and continued: "I'm not so hypocritical, I just thought that my mother gave me the word "Zhi", which has a cursive character on it, and it seems that it is not just to stop the war, is there any other way out besides the laws of the world." ”

"What?" Gao Yan asked.

"Negotiate peace, let each other have a home." Luo Qingzhi said firmly.

Gao Yan didn't answer immediately, and his fingertips tapped on the desk.

Sui Ning was founded only forty years ago, and it was only by marrying the Jiangdong Shi clan that the imperial power was slowly consolidated, but now the big families have their own ghosts, there are strong enemies outside, and powerful ministers inside.

After a while, he asked, "Even if I agree, the lord of Jin'an may not agree." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said: "Yes, my dynasty is strong, Jin'an has been forced to retreat to the north, my father has also beheaded their ancestors, and now the lord of the country is his son, and the hatred of the country and the family is indeed difficult to let go." ”

"However," Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Yan and said, "Wei Chen thinks he can give it a try." ”

Gao Yan got up, walked out of the hall, and came to the porch, where the snow fell faster.

He turned his back to her and said, "Arlo, you go and try," and after a pause, he continued, "Arlo, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Gao Yan once again did not use the honorific title, nor did he turn to look at Luo Qingzhi.

"Nope."

Hearing Luo Qingzhi's answer, Gao Yan's heart was blocked by a little qi, and then he began to worry again, waved his hand, and said, "It's not early, let's get out of the palace." ”

Luo Qingzhi saluted and retired, Huang Shi walked in, saw his majesty standing under the porch, hurriedly took the big coat and put it on for him.

The sudden warmth made him uncomfortable, and he coughed lightly. Caught off guard, he said, "Ah Luo, it's not ruthless enough." ”

Huang Shi didn't dare to answer, so he could only act as if he hadn't heard anything, and the snowflakes became denser and denser, making a sound in the silent night.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, it's too cold outside, so let's help you in." ”

Gao Yan nodded, walked into the house, and ordered: "Go and pass Jin Ziji into the palace." ”

"Yes."

On the second day, the news of the recruitment of a son-in-law by the lord of Anning County was known all over the city, and the sentence "no matter where he came from" made the men of the right age in Jinling City a little excited.

There are no heirs in the saint today, this Anning county lord is the general who guards the border, and the sister of His Majesty, and more importantly, the eldest son of the county lord of Anning will inherit the title of Pingbei Wang, the weight of this county horse is not trivial, once he becomes a son-in-law, he can make steady progress.

When Gao Zhen learned the news, it was already the fourth day, and Luo Qingrou told him. Gao Zhen asked, "How do I qualify?" ”

Luo Qingrou recalled the description on the notice and said: "You have to go to the Ministry of Rites to register first, and the Ministry of Rites will be selected primarily, in order to prevent some unidentified people from being mixed in. ”

After hearing this, Gao Zhen opened the door and stepped out of the threshold, Luo Qingrou immediately called him and said, "Brother Zhen, you don't have an identity name, and you can't even pass the primary election of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Gao Zhen lowered his hands and stood motionless, Luo Qingrou walked a few steps, came to him, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously: "You, do you have to become my sister's county horse?" ”

"I'm here to live for her." Gao Zhen replied.

Luo Qingrou said: "I'll go to Sister Zhixin, she understands the art of disguise, and after helping you change your appearance, I will let Sister help you naturalize, so that's fine." ”

"Sister Zhixin? Who is she? Gao Zhen asked.

"She is my sister's most trusted person, and she is my sister's military doctor." Luo Qingrou said.

Gao Zhen frowned, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "Even if it is someone your sister trusts, how can she lie to her." ”

Luo Qingrou explained, saying: "Sister Zhixin is naturally wholeheartedly loyal to her sister, but Sister Zhixin very much hopes that Sister Zhixin can find a good person, and she has personally traveled around Jinling City these days, and when she sees a suitable man, she lobbied them to participate in the selection. ”

Gao Zhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Really." ”

Luo Qingrou's eyes widened and nodded solemnly.

Gao Zhen's eyes were cold, and he said, "What about you, why are you helping me?" ”

Luo Qingrou avoided Gao Zhen's eyes and whispered, "I, I want you to be happy...... I also hope that my sister will be happy. ”

Gao Zhen frowned, he naturally knew that Luo Qingrou was interested in him, otherwise he would not have deliberately stayed at the city wall that night, waiting for her, but would a person really give the person he likes to others, just because the other party is his sister. He never believed in such feelings.

"Arou, will you really help me?" Gao Zhen asked solemnly.

"Of course." Luo Qingrou nodded.

Looking at Luo Qingrou nodding seriously, now he has no other choice but to believe.

Luo Qingrou was very fast, and immediately brought Zhixin to the small courtyard, and Zhixin was stunned when she saw Gao Zhen's face.

After a long while, he said: "Tsk, Ah Luo is really a violent celestial, such a beauty is not cherished, what kind of son-in-law do you choose." ”

Zhixin circled Gao Zhen, looked him up and down, sighed from time to time, and made a "tsk" sound.

Gao Zhen was a little unaccustomed, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already changed into an affectionate appearance, and his words were gentle.

"I really like the county lord, and I hope that Sister Zhixin can fulfill it."

Zhixin touched her chin, her eyes rolled, and then she sat cross-legged on the mat and asked, "Less than ten days after Ah Luo returned to Beijing, Ah Rou said that you are the youngest son of the Shangjia family, and you have no chance to meet Ah Luo, where did the affection come from." ”

Gao Zhen sat down slowly, raised his eyes to look at Zhixin, his eyes were out of water, and he said affectionately: "It's not recently, it's when I was young, I saw her for the first time under the plum tree, she stepped on the snow, I fell in love at first sight, and I couldn't extricate myself." ”

Zhixin didn't dare to look at Gao Zhen's eyes, there was always a danger that she would bewitch herself, she looked away, and continued: "Then, then why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites to run for election yourself, why do you want Arou to come to me." ”

Gao Zhen lowered his eyes and said, "I came from a humble background, my parents died, and my uncle is in charge of the family, so he won't help me." Gao Zhen didn't lie here, he did have both parents dead, and the "family" was indeed controlled by his uncle Gao Yan.

Luo Qingrou saw that Zhixin was still suspicious, so she had to help on the side, and said, "Sister Zhixin, you also want to see Sister Zhixin find a good match, don't you?" Brother Zhen is so fond of his sister, he will not fail her. ”

Zhi thought that the steps were about the same, and remembered what Luo Qingzhi explained before going out, and made a look of embarrassment, and said, "Okay, I'll help you change your appearance first, and I'll go and tell Ah Luo about the household registration." ”

Gao Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhixin." ”

Zhixin is worthy of being the young master of the Medicine King Valley, and in just one hour, he completely changed Gao Zhen's appearance, which is not as stunning as the original, but it is still a face that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"Alright, you can come with me to see Arlo." Zhixin said.

Hearing that he was going to see Luo Qingzhi again, Gao Zhen thought in his heart, how to stay in the group master's mansion in a dignified manner, this peaceful group leader's son-in-law must belong to him.

When night came, Zhixin took Gao Zhen to the study, knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while no one opened the door, she pushed the door open.

"Arlo, Arlo."

Zhixin turned to Gao Zhen and said, "You wait in the study, I'll go look for her." ”

The moment the door of the study was closed, Zhixin couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and said sorry words in her heart, "Ah Luo, tonight is the day of the attack, and I will also help you, anyway, once or twice."
