Chapter 27: The Family Feast

After the banquet in Que Lou, Gao Zhen was taught by Fan Li and others in turn, even Luo Qingzhi hadn't seen him for several days, and when she wanted to see the results of the training, she was blocked, saying that she wanted to surprise her, and she had to give up.

Luo Qingrou has also been embroidering her wedding dress in the courtyard, and for a while, there is no one who can speak in the county lord's mansion.

Luo Qingzhi thought that she could just go to see Qingshanjun, so she came to his courtyard.

When she walked into the courtyard, Qingshan-kun didn't know what to say, and the servant girl who served on the side hid her face and laughed.

When she entered the courtyard, the maidservant girl found her and hurriedly saluted, "County Lord An." ”

Qingshanjun also saluted, but there was a sense of grievance, and he didn't look at Luo Qingzhi at all.

Luo Qingzhi asked the others to step back, came to the courtyard, and said, "Young Master Qingshan, please take a seat." ”

Qingshan Jun just sat down, glanced at Luo Qingzhi, lowered his eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "A few days ago, I always wanted to go to see the county lord, but I was stopped, saying that you are still sick, and now I am relieved to see that you are all right." ”

Luo Qingzhi pondered his words, but didn't want to delve into them, just said lightly: "There were a lot of things a few days ago, and I only had time to come to you today." ”

Qingshanjun saw that Luo Qingzhi didn't want to pursue the matter of him being stopped at all, and he was already a little timid, and Luo Qingzhi no longer greeted, and asked directly: "I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

"County Lord, may I ask." Aoyama-kun said.

"How did you and General Li Chu meet?"

Qingshanjun replied: "About eight years ago, I was in Mingfeng Tower, I was bullied by guests, and he saved me, so I begged Fan's mother to leave him in the building to do chores. ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know who assassinated you?" ”

Aoyama-kun shook his head, "I don't know, but, that person said something at that time." ”

"What?"

Aoyama-kun thought about it and said, "You touched someone you shouldn't touch." ”

Luo Qingzhi originally thought that the person who assassinated Qingshanjun was because of Li Chu, but looking at it this way, it didn't seem to be, and then, she looked at Qingshanjun and asked, "So, what are your plans next?" ”

“......”

Qingshanjun hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "I know that the county lord is recruiting a son-in-law, I know that I have no qualifications, but I still have delusional thoughts, I hope that the county lord can accept me, and in the future, I will definitely serve the county lord and the county horse well." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Luo Qingzhi, there were tears in his eyes, but Luo Qingzhi was unmoved, at this time, he remembered Gao Zhen's eyes when he looked at her, and she understood that Qingshanjun in front of him did not have the kind of love he said in his mouth.

Luo Qingzhi said: "I'm not such a patient person, I see that you have a lot of money in dressing, I have a shop in Ningzhou, the location is very good, if you want, I will send you there, and then give you the money to open the store, you live a peaceful life." ”

Qingshanjun was a little moved, but he still tried again, "The county lord really has a deep affection for Luo's second son. ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "I like to talk to smart people, if you still don't understand, then this kind of conversation is the last." With that, she got up.

Qingshan-kun immediately spoke up, "County Lord, please, please wait a minute." ”

Luo Qingzhi stopped and asked, "Childe, think about it, what kind of life you want to live." ”

Qingshanjun knelt down, this time, Luo Qingzhi did not stop him.

"I have been abandoned outside the Mingfeng Tower since I was a child, and I grew up in the Fengyue place, and I am used to seeing different hearts and mouths, conspiracies and calculations...... To be honest, I think that the county lord may have saved me to give me to that powerful person to help you find out the news, so I was in a hurry and asked you to accept me. Aoyama-kun said.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I've never thought like this. ”

Aoyama-kun continued: "Even if you tell me this now, I still don't fully believe it in my heart......"

Qingshanjun's words fell into her ears, and Luo Qingzhi suddenly began to reflect on herself, as if she was also such a person, although Gao Zhen had told herself many times that she liked her, but she didn't fully believe it......

"I'm willing to go to Ningzhou, Your Highness."

On the second day, Luo Qingzhi sent someone to send Qingshanjun to Ningzhou, and the post of the royal family banquet was also sent to the county lord's mansion.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the small year, the family banquet in the palace.

Luo Qingzhi and Luo Qingrou entered the palace for a banquet, and Luo Chen accompanied them.

This family banquet was organized by the queen, and Luo Qingzhi's seat was still the chief on the right after all, and Luo Qingrou was one below.

The eldest princess sat on the left side, looking at Luo Qingzhi with a wine glass, smiling, Luo Qingzhi raised the wine glass in return and took a sip.

There are very few heirs of the Gao family, and only a few people participate in the family banquet, except for the eldest princess, there is also an elder, sitting in the second seat on the left, Luo Qingzhi has never seen it.

Gao Yan raised his glass and said, "Today is a family banquet, and all of you here are relatives, so you don't need to be detained." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

The second elder began to speak, "Brother-in-law? Your Majesty is afraid that it is a joke. ”

Gao Yan asked, "Cousin Aunt thinks something is wrong?" ”

Empress Yang took the opportunity to answer, "I don't know if it's because the concubines are not doing well enough, Mrs. Laiyang Wang can say it directly." ”

Mrs. Laiyang Wang said: "All of you here are members of the Gao family, what does this Luo family mean by coming?" ”

Luo Qingzhi thought that this woman was targeting herself, but she didn't expect to say it directly, she didn't make a sound.

Empress Yang smiled and explained, "This Luo family county lord is the daughter of the king of Pingbei, of course, she is a relative. ”

Mrs. Laiyang Wang continued to make trouble, "King Pingbei? It's just a righteous brother, and it goes around several corners. ”

Gao Yan laughed, his eyes suddenly became ruthless, and he said softly: "The county lord of Anning was invited by me, and it seems that Mrs. Laiyang Wang is dissatisfied with me." ”

The change of Gao Yan's title has made Mrs. Laiyang Wang's palms cold, but she always thinks that she is an elder, and she doesn't want to lower her posture at all, so she just said shallowly: "That's not what the old body meant." ”

"What do you mean by that lady?" Gao Yan asked.

Mrs. Laiyang Wang didn't expect Gao Yan to ask and looked at the queen, who spoke out to relieve the siege.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has also prepared a song and dance for the family banquet, and she is already waiting outside the palace, why don't you call in?"

Gao Yan said "um", which can be regarded as giving each other this step.

Dancers come one after another, all of them are beautiful like flowers, graceful, a dance is moving, the dancers led by the dancer dance posture is the best, suddenly, has changed from the red silk dance to the sword dance.

The drums became more and more intense, the sword moves became more and more fierce, the drums stopped, but the dancer who led the dance did not stop, and the sword blade came towards Luo Qingzhi.

Luo Qingzhi turned his head to dodge the first blow, and Luo Chen, who was on the back, drew his sword and subdued the dancer in an instant.

When the dancer saw the situation, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

"Lochen."

The woman was rescued, but she stared at Luo Qingzhi viciously and said, "If I lose today, there will be others who will take your life in the future." ”

Luo Qingzhi was confused, and Gao Yan was already angry.

"Bring it up, I want to see who is going to kill the county lord."

The woman was escorted to the front by the forbidden army, and Gao Yan angrily reprimanded, "Who sent you?" ”

The woman snorted coldly, not meaning to speak.

"Yuan Ying."

"The minister is here."

Gao Yan said, "Take it down, you will interrogate it yourself." ”

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi looked at the woman, who seemed to be younger than Luo Qingrou, and said, "Your Majesty, since it was me who assassinated me, it is better for me to take it back and interrogate it personally." ”

“...... Yes. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The small episode of the assassination made the family banquet lose its atmosphere in an instant, and Queen Yang was a little worried, "It's because the concubine didn't investigate, and she actually let the assassins get in, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Gao Yan didn't answer for a long time as if he hadn't heard, and the atmosphere of the family banquet was a little colder.

Luo Qingzhi sighed in her heart, and finally spoke, "Your Majesty, the dancers are all from outside the palace, and they should have taken advantage of the chaos to switch bodies with the original dancers, and the queen mother can't be known to everyone." ”

With Luo Qingzhi's plea, the other people at the banquet also echoed a few words, and Gao Yancai said coldly: "Then forget it." ”

Empress Yang saluted and thanked her. Gao Yan said, "The queen should go and thank the county lord." ”

Seeing Empress Yang coming step by step, Luo Qingzhi turned her head and glanced at Luo Qingrou.

Luo Qingrou immediately stroked her forehead and frowned tightly.

Luo Qingzhi stepped forward and asked, "Arou, what's wrong?" ”

"I have a headache." Luo Qingrou whispered.

Luo Qingzhi was very flustered, and said to Gao Yan: "Your Majesty, Arou's body is just fine, I'm afraid that I have a cold again, please let Your Majesty allow the ministers to leave first." ”

Gao Yan nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”

Empress Yang looked at Luo Qingzhi's departing back, and was not at all grateful to her for her so-called relief, but clenched her fists, revealing hatred.

As soon as Luo Qingzhi left, Gao Yan waved his hand and said, "I still have state affairs to deal with, so let's stop here today." ”

"Yes."

Gao Yan also left, and the rest of the people had different thoughts, Mrs. Laiyang Wang came to the queen to say goodbye, and her words were even more dissatisfied, "The family banquet that is held every year is different this year, it seems that it is for Luo Qingzhi to hold a banquet alone, as soon as she leaves, we all have to leave, hum." ”

Queen Yang smiled and said, "Don't say that, auntie, it's not good for others to hear it." ”

Mrs. Laiyang Wang snorted coldly and left the banquet.

The people who participated in the banquet left one after another, but Queen Yang and the eldest princess went together.

"I said, Luo Qingzhi will definitely save that woman." Empress Yang said.

The eldest princess said, "How do you know that she will be saved?" ”

Empress Yang snorted coldly, with a hint of mockery, "This Luo Qingzhi is like this, she always wants to be a good person, and when she looks at someone who is as old as her sister, she will make a move." ”

The eldest princess lowered her voice, "If we do this, if Your Majesty finds out, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”

Empress Yang looked at the eldest princess and asked rhetorically: "Then, Your Highness, do you want to get the position of Anning Junma?" ”

The eldest princess let out a "hey" and asked, "Is that woman reliable?" ”

"Of course," affirmed Empress Yang, "her whole family is in my hands, and she does not dare to disobey." ”
