Chapter 7: The eldest princess of the Great Jin
The emperor's residence, Zhaoxian Palace.
The eldest princess Lu Ruolan did not wait for the internal supervisor to pass the news, so she entered with swift steps.
Dongfang Han was not in the palace, but he saw Princess Huaining Lu Wan'er bowing her head in front of the table, and something was written under her hand.
Lu Ruolan snorted coldly, his voice was uncertain: "You are a good stutterer." Dongfang Han sat on the dragon chair for a few days, and you came to her Zhaoxian Hall every day. β
When Lu Wan'er heard this, she hurriedly stopped writing and saluted Lu Ruolan, extremely deferential: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is blessed with gold...... Wan'er was ordered by His Majesty to come here to help her copy some transcripts. β
"Lu Wan'er, come and serve tea to the palace."
The eldest princess sat in front of the coffee table with her sleeves waved, squinting at Princess Huaining, who was hanging her head.
This girl, Dongfang Han can summon, she is the most noble eldest princess of this Jin, and naturally she can also summon her.
Seeing this, the maid of Zhaoxian Hall immediately offered tea, but was rejected by the eldest princess.
"Can't you hear Hongu's orders?" There was anger in his tone that was about to erupt, "This palace is for Lu Wan'er to serve in person!" β
The maids looked embarrassed, although Princess Huaining had no power or power, but she was also a real princess in this palace, how could she serve tea like an inferior palace maid.
Lu Wan'er bit her thin lip slightly, poured tea full, and presented it to Lu Ruolan with both hands: "Please use tea, eldest sister." β
"I've been in the palace for nearly twenty years, doesn't Sister Wan know the correct posture for serving tea?" The tone is mean.
Lu Wan'er frowned, and quickly restrained her embarrassed look.
She knelt heavily on the ground, raised the teacup above her head, and respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please use tea." β
Lu Ruolan still didn't answer, and let the hot tea burn Lu Wan'er's fingers red.
As the air froze, a gentle and amiable voice broke the silence.
"The eldest sister came to Zhaoxian Hall today, but my sister did not return to the court, and the hospitality was not good."
Dongfang Han took the teacup in Lu Wan'er's hand and put it on the coffee table, and picked up the kneeling person.
With a smile on her face, like a spring breeze in March, she made the person who was originally arrogant and angry slam a heavy fist on the cotton.
Lu Ruolan said: "This palace came to you for Brother Fei's business. β
Speaking of this, Lu Ruolan became even more angry, pointed at Dongfang Han's nose and said angrily: "You actually conspired with Lu Cichuan's dog to harm Brother Fei!" He's your own brother! β
My brother?
Dongfang Han couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, what kind of brother is he? Don't forget, you are all surnamed "Lu", and I ...... The surname is "Oriental".
"The eldest sister really misunderstood my sister, I naturally care about the family affection that blood is thicker than water, but the regent has held real power in the court for a long time, and he doesn't put me as the emperor in his eyes at all, so I don't dare to refute his meaning."
Dongfang Han frowned tightly, his face was as miserable as white paper, and he put on a capital "wronged" and "helpless".
"What's the use of wanting you as an emperor!"
As he was talking, the inner prison came to report in a panic: "There is news from Dali Temple that King Qi has disappeared in the prison. β
"What? How can a good person go missing? β
Lu Ruolan was in a hurry and got up.
Donglai said: "The people of Dali Temple told me that King Qi disappeared in the middle of the night, quietly, and the guards inside and outside the cell did not hear any movement. β
"Eldest sister, I don't know if I have a word to say." Dongfang Han said cautiously, "The regent held a grudge because he was slandered by the King of Qi a few days ago, and exposed the evidence of the King of Qi's crimes in court and sent him to prison...... Will it be ......"
Lu Ruolan clenched his back molars: "It must be that dog thing, I will repay it, I am not satisfied with sending Brother Fei to prison, I robbed him in the middle of the night, and I want to lynch and torture." β
Dongfang Han followed her words: "I heard that there is a private prison in the Regent's mansion, and His Royal Highness King Qi is not locked up there. β
Lu Cichuan...... Hongu will definitely want you to look good! β
After saying that, he shook his long sleeves and left angrily.
β¦β¦
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me out." Princess Huaining, who was standing aside, said.
Dongfang Han saw that her ten fingers were burned, and the redness and swelling had not disappeared, and motioned for Nanyin to bring the scalding cream.
"The eldest princess has been in full swing for a long time, let's learn to be patient. In the future, Sister Wan doesn't have to call me Your Majesty in private, she can be called a sister. β
β¦β¦
Seeing off Princess Huaining, Dongfang Han immediately ordered Donglai to prepare a carriage, and she was going to go to the Chu Palace.
As the car was traveling, an agile figure flew into the carriage.
The visitor was a young woman in a plain shirt, tall and thin, with a grim complexion and a heroic look between her eyebrows.
"Lord, the eldest princess just went to King Rui's mansion, and I heard it in the mansion, and she asked King Rui to allocate a hundred soldiers to besiege the palace of King Chu, in order to search for the whereabouts of King Qi." The woman said.
Dongfang Han nodded: "Beiyan, you will find a way to attract the forbidden army patrolling the city later, and you must not let them clash with King Rui's soldiers halfway, we must create an opportunity for King Rui to surround the palace of King Chu." β
She curled her lips and smiled, a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Beiyan said: "Everything is as the lord guessed, although the eldest princess hates the regent, she will not do it herself, and will definitely go to King Rui." β
"My sister, she's always been like that. Back then, the crown prince seized the throne from the hands of the mother queen, and wanted to play a drama of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind. Unexpectedly, the prince failed to make an accident and the East Palace was abolished, but she was able to take care of herself and pick herself cleanly. β
Although Dongfang Han left the palace at the age of three, she had a thorough understanding of her brothers and sisters.
Beiyan looked at the girl in front of her, she was clearly born with a soft and graceful appearance, and she had no quarrel with the world, but in fact, her mind was unfathomable and scheming.
It is precisely because of this that she is willing to obey the order and go to the trouble for it.
It's all because of her strong nature.
β¦β¦
Visiting the Chu Palace, Dongfang Han is already familiar with the road.
Under Lu Cichuan's teaching, in less than a month, her handwriting has been practiced quite a bit.
"Your Majesty should study your own style of writing, instead of blindly imitating this king."
Dongfang Hanyun pen sank and wrote down the four big characters of "Fenghe is exhausted".
Lu Cichuan looked directly at what was written on the paper and wondered: "These four words, are you talking about Your Majesty?" β
Dongfang Han looked forward to the bright eyes with a smile: "Naturally, it is for His Royal Highness the King of Chu." β
Sandalwood is burning in the study, quiet and elegant.
Lu Cichuan collided with the eyes of the woman in front of him, and somehow, as if a breeze was blowing, he suddenly felt comfortable and happy.
It's not the first time I've felt like this in the face of her.
He hid the stretch of his eyes, and still put on that cold face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the words." β
"Your Highnessβ"
Jinghong anxiously broke the door.
"His Royal Highness King Rui led troops to surround the Chu Palace! Yun Feng was leading people to confront them outside the mansion. β
"No, let King Rui into the mansion."
The gloomy and cold words spat out from Lu Cichuan's thin lips, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
