In the study, the candle flame flickered.

King Yu listened to Qin Panruo's detailed analysis of Lu Ze's harvest at this son-in-law selection conference.

The specific amount is so exaggerated that even the emperor's own son can't help frowning.

His Royal Highness King Yu's tone was full of surprise.

"You don't have that much money, do you?"

"The Marquis of Wuwei Mansion has not received many holy favors over the years, and the Marquis Mansion of Wuwei belongs to the new Hou Mansion in the imperial city, the old Marquis died early, and the family background of the Lu Mansion is not ranked in Jinling City."

King Yu suddenly thought of something at this time, raised his head and said, "Could it be the Liu family..."

Qin Panruo shook his head, and his radiant cheeks were also full of doubt.

"If you send someone to check, it is not the Marquis of Lu who is funded by the Liuguo Mansion, even if it is the Yingchuan Liu family's own side, there is no big move."

"The principal amount of this bet in the major gambling houses seems to have come out of nowhere."

Both of them wondered where Lu Ze, an angel investor, came from.

What Qin Banruo can be sure of now is that this young Wuwei Hou is not a simple character, even in the turbulent Jinling City, he belongs to an existence that can set off a lot of storms in the undercurrent.

Qin Panruo put away his thoughts, and then said: "What needs to be confirmed now is, what does this Marquis Lu really want? ”

Regarding this issue, Mei Changsu had a discussion with Commander Meng in the snow house.

Jiang Zuo Meilang and Sect Master Mei of the Qilin Genius couldn't guess it thoroughly, and Qin Panruo at this time couldn't guess Lu Ze's thoughts.

She can only summarize and gather according to all the current information - Lu Hou Ye loves to take advantage.

At this time, King Yu was shrouded in the bearing of Prince Qizhu of the Great Liang Dynasty, and said softly: "Lu Hou should know that there are only two ways for those who are favored by the prince and this king. He is so young and vigorous, can he still choose a dead end? ”

The party strife in Kyoto is in full swing, and no one can stand in the middle.

Yan Yujin saw it very clearly that day.

"But Your Highness sees that Lu Hou is taking now, is it the road we can guess?"

King Yu was stunned by Qin Panruo's question, and he was speechless.

When you think about it, it is.

Who would have thought that Wu Weihou, who had just returned to Beijing, first went to Yushitai to sue the general of the Xiaocai from the Wupin patrol battalion, and then signed up for the son-in-law selection conference, and then used the principal that he didn't know where to get from, and made a lot of money in the major gambling houses in Kyoto.

It is rumored that a few days ago, Lu Hou in the suburbs of Beijing had a lot of blood on his hands.

People like him who don't follow the usual path are often the people that the royal family, as the ruling class, admires the most, and at the same time hates the most.

"Your Highness is now pressing the heaviest stone in your heart, isn't it Qingguo Gong?"

"Prajna, you ask knowingly."

King Yu couldn't help but feel bored in his heart.

Xia Dong returned to Jinling from Binzhou peacefully, no one knows how much the mirror has found, His Majesty the Emperor in the palace remained silent, but in the eyes of many people, this is a precursor to a storm.

Qin Panruo continued: "The military is His Majesty's forbidden body, and there are too many neutrals among them, and the only few military ministers who are loyal to support His Highness are mostly from the Qingguo Gong family. ”

"If Qingguo Gong falls, you will only have a pen in your hand, not a sword."

King Yu's brows furrowed, and he was even more depressed in his heart: "Of course this king knows. ”

Qin Panruo raised his hand and swept the cloud ring on his sideburns, his cherry lips opened slightly, and said: "So His Royal Highness wants to catch Wuwei Hou in his hands, especially during the period when the prince and Concubine Yue were grounded, the queen mother in the palace has already investigated the affairs of that day, plus the news from the Red Sleeve Trick and the Criminal Department..."

Speaking of this, even Qin Panruo couldn't help but feel shocked by the prince's bold action this time.

is also a woman, of course she knows the viciousness contained in this conspiracy, which is enough to destroy a woman's life.

King Yu couldn't help but gloat at this time: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose the target of the Nihuang County Lord, thinking that he wanted Sima Lei's guy to cook rice with the county lord, but he really underestimated this female marshal who commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses in the south. ”

"According to the news from the forbidden army, it was Sima Lei who was captured by Lu Hou himself."

Qin Panruo lowered her head and straightened the creases on her sleeves, the white jade bracelet on Hao's wrist shook slightly, the snowy luster was as charming as her skin, and the murderous mouth of this beauty was full of cold people's hearts.

"Lu Hou has completely offended the prince in the matter of the county lord."

"Your Highness can rest assured that Lu Hou will not throw himself at the crown prince, and Praruo came this time because he got a piece of news by chance this afternoon."

Mei Changsu's change of house did not cause much discussion.

It's just that this Qilin genius has made an amazing discovery in that deserted mansion and dry well, Jingzhao Mansion Yin has already sent someone to investigate, and Qin Panruo rushed to Yuwang's Mansion as soon as he knew about it.

From the rumors, you can know that there is a lot of room for operation in this matter.

Because it may involve the respect of the Hubu Shangshulou.

And after listening to it, King Yu instantly understood what Qin Panruo meant.

"Hahahaha, okay."

"If I can leak this money bag of the prince, I will see what the East Palace will use to attract people next year."

"People say that Bigan has seven tricks and exquisite hearts, and I think that if you are smart and exquisite, you are far better than Bigan, I am afraid that there are more than seven tricks."

Qin Panruo smiled, neither humility nor pride.

Under the shadow of the lamp, the beauty was like jade, smiling and blooming, and His Royal Highness King Yu's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but step forward and hold her hand, but the latter gently broke away.

King Yu frowned: "Are you still unwilling?" ”

"Although Praruo has traveled through the wind and dust, he also swore to his master at the beginning that he would never be a concubine in this life, please forgive your Highness."

Although King Yu has long coveted Qin Meiren, he holds his own royal identity and is unwilling to use force, Qin Banruo and her red sleeves are of great use to King Yu to collect intelligence and analyze the situation, at this time, he can only press the touch in his heart first.

Of course, Qin Panruo can't be the wife of King Yu, and if he really intends to marry into the door, he will also be a concubine.

I only heard His Royal Highness King Yu immediately smiled and said, "It's this king who is abrupt." ”

Night gradually began to envelop Jinling City, and the imperial city was still prosperous after the end of the son-in-law selection conference.

Qin Banruo said goodbye and left from the Yuwang Mansion after seeing the ceremony, the Yu Princess didn't like him very much, Qin Banruo could certainly see that the Yu Wangfu was from a famous family, and his father and brother were all officials in the court, and the queen in the palace also liked this Yu Princess.

Every time Qin Panruo came to the door, he picked the time to come to the palace.

If it weren't for the problem in the dry well of the orchid garden today, she wouldn't have come directly to the door in such a hurry.

The carriage and horse rode the night and slowly came to the long flower street called "Luo Market" in the west of Jinling City.

On both sides of the flower street are high Xuanhua courtyards, pavilions and terraces.

The snail market is very quiet and tranquil during the day, but after nightfall, the streets are full of lights, singing and dancing, and the Huansha Creek that runs through the whole street winds sideways, making this gentle fairyland in Jinling City more charming.

Countless people have forgotten to return to Luo City, where there are the most beauties in the capital.

The laughter field located on Luoshi Street has its own unique style and attractive place.

The beauty of the red sleeves, the music of the Miaoyin Fang, the dance of Yang Liuxin...

The carriage and horse stopped at the side door behind the red sleeve move, and a small servant inside quickly came to open the door, and reported to Qin Panruo, who had not yet come out of the carriage: "Master, the distinguished guest you instructed came to the door today, and was just led to the Intoxication Pavilion in the West Garden. ”

Qin Panruo, supported by the maid, slowly got out of the carriage.

She was interested.

Lu Hou Ye still came to the red sleeves to eat and drink at this time?

And the noble man said... Let the head of the past accompany. ”

The little guy spoke in a low voice.

The red sleeve move has developed and grown in Kyoto for so many years, and there were still troubles in the previous years, but I haven't seen one in the past few years.

As for opening his mouth, let the red sleeves recruit the big shopkeeper to accompany the wine... There are even few.

Qin Panruo stroked the ends of his sideburns and said with a smile: "Go back to the nobles, I'll be there later." ”

.......

Lu Ze was dressed in a light gauze black cage brocade robe, with a carved tiger roaring jade belt tied around his waist, and his handsome cheeks and gentle smile made the cheeks of the women serving up and down in the Intoxicating Pavilion slightly red.

The demeanor and conversation of this Marquis Lu is very different from those sons and brothers in Kyoto.

Lu Ze half leaned on the soft couch spread on the ground, and watched with interest the Yingying Yanyan of the Intoxicating Pavilion who was busy up and down, Lu Hou was in a very good mood today, and went to the capital in the afternoon to check the gambling houses, wineries and teahouses that had income from the Wuwei Hou Mansion.

Lu Ze did make a lot of money this time.

A few days ago, Nihuang was worried about whether Lu Ze had lost money because of the sudden change in the son-in-law selection conference, and Lu Ze could only say that Nihuang thought too much.

It's small.

The pattern is smaller.

Soon, Qin Panruo, who was dressed in a pale pink palace dress, drew new makeup and came to the Intoxication Pavilion.

The shopkeeper Qin put his hands on his waist and gave a shallow womanly salute to Lu Ze in front of him, and Qin Panruo after entering the door was also surprised by Lu Ze's bearing, no wonder these serving girls in the Intoxicated Pavilion couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of their mouths when they came and went.

"If you have seen Lu Hou, Lu Hou is blessed with Jin'an."

Lu Ze slowly sat up straight, and said softly to the beauty in front of him: "If you don't have to be polite, sit down." ”

Qin Panruo lifted the hem of his skirt and slowly knelt in front of Lu Ze.

At this time, she raised her right hand, revealing a soft and jade-like softness, and poured the wine by herself: "Lord Hou defeated the masters of Beiyan and Dayu at the imperial banquet, and raised my majesty. ”

Lu Ze admired the demeanor of the Qin beauty in front of him, and exclaimed: "The ethereal jade is soft, and the face is clear." ”

Qin Banruo didn't expect that this young Marquis Lu also knew some poetry, and she said to the poem: "Seeking spring must be early in spring, don't wait for the flowers to be old... This is the poem of the world-famous Empress Li, Lu Hou..."

Lu Ze laughed and said: "Benhou was born as a military general, but he is just a vassal and elegant, and today he will give ancient poems to the beauty." ”

Qin Banruo covered his mouth and chuckled: "Then Banruo thanked Master Hou." ”

Three or two glasses of wine were in the stomach, and the conversation slowly opened.

"If you can hold up such a big red sleeve move in the imperial capital Jinling City, it will not be easy to come all these years."

"I don't know where Prajna's ancestral home is? Is there anyone else in the family? ”

Qin Panruo's face showed a flush after drinking.

Today, she was going to leave under the pretext of having something to do after a glass of wine, but in front of her, Lu Houye's body seemed to have some kind of attractive magic, and Qin Banruo liked the feeling of chatting in this slightly drunk state.

Because this allows her to escape from the circle of reality for a short time, to fantasize about the life of her dreams.

But Lu Ze's 'ancestral hometown' directly pulled Qin Panruo's thoughts back to reality, so that her misty eyes slowly became clear, and even with a hint of resentment.

"Praruo, ancestral home in Zizhou, parents at home have passed away."

Lu Ze bowed slightly, thinking that your ancestral hometown should be further north of Zizhou.

The Huazu is located directly above Ganzhou and Zizhou in the western border of Daliang, and is sandwiched in the middle of the three kingdoms of Daliang, Dayu and Northern Yan.

In the Central Plains countries, the relationship between the Hua people was originally the closest to the Great Liang.

In the Liang Dynasty, in the twenty-sixth year of Jingyun, the Hua tribe was invaded and slaughtered by the Northern Yan people, resulting in the occupation of the capital, and then the Hua tribe had no choice but to lead the army to surrender to the Great Liang.

There was also a big event in the girder that year.

At that time, in Jinling City, Xiao Xuan, who was still a prince, was framed, and his classmate Lin Xie desperately retrieved the evidence and saved Xiao Xuan's life.

His Majesty the Emperor may have really made up his mind to participate in the succession from that time, and he also made an alliance with the Slip Clan, and Princess Linglong, who was in power of the Slip Clan, secretly gave birth to a son with Xiao Xuan, who is now King Yu.

Lu Ze smiled: "Where did Praruo go in the afternoon?" When Ben Hou first arrived, Red Sleeves beckoned everyone to say that you were not in the building. ”

A smile appeared on Qin Banruo's face, as if she was wearing the mask she was most familiar with.

"It's the bustle over there in Jingzhao Mansion, if you go over and take a look, I wonder if Master Hou knows about the recent Orchid Garden dry well case?"

Lu Ze nodded: "I've heard about it, but this matter obviously has nothing to do with the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion." ”

Qin Panruo poured wine for Lu Ze with a smile, and occasionally used chopsticks to pick up dishes in the past: "Jinling City is a lot more lively, but I think everyone is more curious about the results of the competition between Hou Ye and the county lord, I don't know if Hou Ye can reveal half a point with Panruo?" ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Panruo blinked slightly playfully.

Lu Ze still felt that Qin Panruo, who had just been slightly drunk, naturally showed her expression, and looked better than her with a mask at this time.

Lu Ze picked up the crispy eastern seafood shrimp in front of him, nodded and said, "Benhou has a relationship with the county lord, but there is no point yet." ”

Qin Panruo pondered the specific meaning of Lu Ze's words.

It was just this distracted thinking, I saw that Lu Ze, who was sitting opposite, had already come to Qin Banruo and sat down at this time, and the strong masculine aura suddenly approached Qin Banruo, who coughed lightly: "Master Hou, you..."

Lu Ze took Qin Panruo's hand and said solemnly: "I and Praruo are like each other at first sight, but I don't know if Panruo you..."

Qin Banruo wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't succeed, so he could only helplessly say what he said to King Yu before.

"Don't blame Master Hou, if you swore in front of your parents' graves back then, you won't be a concubine in this life."

Lu Ze nodded quickly.

"No problem."

Qin Panruo's expression was very strange.

Is this Marquis Lu really willing to marry himself as his wife?

"I don't give Prajna a name."

Qin Panruo: ???
