Chapter 193 The restaurant met and tested each other
Lu Xingyue received the prince's invitation, which was a little strange, but he was also very curious about what the prince asked him for at this time, so he said to Shen Lansui and went to the appointment.
The prince was arrogant, and with a wave of his hand, he took over the most expensive restaurant in the city, and the entire third floor was covered, and the guards were guarding at the staircase, and not a single fly was allowed to fly up.
Lu Xingyue squinted when he saw this battle, and he didn't know that he thought it was a Hongmen banquet.
But yes or no, it's really hard to say.
"Master Hou, please-"
The guard led him to a stop at the door of the private room in the middle of the third floor, and then clubbed to the side without looking back, and had no intention of opening the door.
Lu Xingyue took matters into his own hands and pushed the door open.
The private room is very large, the decoration is exquisite and luxurious, there is a curved water in the corner, there is a chessboard on the opposite side, and there is a thin beauty holding the pipa behind the bead curtain on the other side to play gently, which is full of elegance.
However, the prince obviously didn't come to play when he invited him, he sat at the table of eight immortals in the middle, and looked up when he heard the door open.
The eyes were deep and indifferent, and there was a little unclear look, and Lu Xing became more and more uncomfortable.
Lu Xingyue stared at his eyebrows, and was surprised to find that the qi in the prince's eyebrows was completely black, and the color was still half mixed before, why was it so black and pure?
And I could still see a trace of purple qi before, but now there is no more at all.
Lu Xingyue's heart was turbulent, his face was impassive, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. β
The pipa girl stopped and looked at the prince, who waved his hand: "Go down." β
"Yes." The Pipa Girl walked past Lu Xingyue's side, and closed the door after going out.
The moment the door closed, Lu Xingyue's heart tightened.
The prince was silent for a while before he said, "No courtesy, sit down." β
Lu Xingyue got up and walked over to him and sat down.
"I wonder why His Highness invited the lower officials over?"
The prince didn't smile and said: "Didn't you say it, please come to eat and drink, thank you for your help to the seventh brother before, as the eldest brother, the younger brother has to be taken care of, and the lonely came forward to thank you, shouldn't it?" β
"Yes."
Lu Xingyue didn't refute, looking at the big fish and meat on the table that didn't move, he didn't have much appetite, anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, just waited for the prince to hold back his mouth first.
"Come, don't sit still, eat something first." The crown prince picked up the wine jug and filled it for him, and Lu Xingyue stopped: "Your Highness has tormented the lower officials, this kind of thing is still done by the lower officials themselves-"
"Heyβ" The prince avoided his hand and said with a smile, "It's just pouring a glass of wine, what is it that is not broken, is it possible that you dare not drink it?" Afraid of being poisoned in wine? β
Lu Xingyue: "......"
He looked at the crown prince, even if he hid it deeply, Lu Xingyue still saw a hint of provocation.
What to provoke?
He?
Lu Xingyue didn't understand what the prince was stimulated again, and what kind of madness he was making here.
But he didn't want to deal with the crown prince, and they hadn't yet reached the time to tear their faces, so he removed his hand and let the prince fall.
When the wine was full, the prince picked up his lamp, raised it and said: "This cup is Gu for Lao Qi to respect you, before you came back from Wanguan City, Gu wanted to invite you to eat and drink, but at that time it was too busy, and you were very tired, you have to rest well, Gu did not bother rashly, and I just thanked you today." β
Lu Xingyue picked up the wine and touched him lightly, and his posture was quite respectful.
The prince's face was slightly pale, staring at Lu Xingyue, seeing that he had drunk all the wine, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
No matter how capable you are, you still don't have to be obedient in front of him?
He took the wine cup and drank it all, picked up the chopsticks and said, "This fish is well done, taste it from afar?" β
Lu Xingyue's eyebrows jumped, far away? When did the prince become so affectionate to him?
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Lu Xingyue glanced at his thick black eyebrows, pinched a little bit of fish meat, and then picked up the wine jug and took the initiative to pour wine for the prince, "Your Highness might as well say it directly, you invite the lower officials to come, not just for the sake of the Seventh Highness, right?" If this is the case, the wine has also been drunk, and there is still something on the side of the edict, so the lower official will leave first. β
Lu Xingyue was about to get up after pouring the wine, but the prince really couldn't hold his breath, and his voice was slightly deep, "Slow-"
"Lone invites you to eat and drink, you have this attitude? Just go, what are you lonely? β
Lu Xingyue turned to look at the crown prince, "Your Highness has never been disrespectful, but Your Highness, what are you afraid of?" β
The prince was poked in the heart, and his face changed suddenly.
After a while, he sneered, stroked his palms and said, "Okay, good Lu Sanlang." β
He narrowed his eyes and asked: "Before, Gu deliberately pulled you, and you excused yourself in every possible way, but now you are very close to Lao Qi, what do you mean?" β
Lu Xingyue sat back down, and said with a straight face: "The heart of the pure ministers has never changed, and the so-called getting close to His Royal Highness the Seventh is even more nonsense, but it just happened to try a case." β
"You take care of each other in Wanguan City, it is a lifelong friendship, even so, you have never wavered?" The prince looked at him with a smirk.
Lu Xingyue looked him directly in the eyes and said firmly: "No." β
The smile on the prince's lips gradually retracted.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, silent for a long time, and the atmosphere slowly solidified.
Finally, the prince took a big sip of the wine cup and sneered, "Has anyone said that your temperament is quite similar to your father's emperor." β
Lu Xingyue's heart jumped heavily.
The crown prince said "Father", not His Majesty, did he say it casually, or did he deliberately try it?
What did he know?
Lu Xingyue stared at the prince, and the prince's gaze never left him for a moment.
Lu Xingyue suddenly realized, it seems that the prince knew something, deliberately tested him, the front ones were just foreshadowing, trying to make him mess up, and finally asked this again, wanting him to show his flaws.
Who said the prince was stupid, doesn't this still have brains?
It's just not used in the right place.
He got up and said, "Your Highness, how can the lower officials be compared to Your Majesty?" Don't mention this in the future. β
Seeing that he seemed to be a little annoyed, the prince squinted his eyes and squinted at him, "It's just you and me here, what are you afraid of?" Could it be that you are afraid that Lone will tell this to your father? β
He laughed at himself and said, "If you really say it, I'm afraid my father will be very happy, right?" After all, many times in his eyes, our sons are not as good as you. β
Lu Xingyue's hand in his sleeve slowly clenched.
The crown prince sighed and said, "If you were born in the emperor's family, what else would happen to us?" β
"Your Highness!"
Lu Xingyue interrupted him and said sharply: "Your Highness, you are drunk!" If His Majesty hears these words, I don't know how sad and disappointed he will be. Xia Guan just didn't come today. β
He brushed his sleeves away, paused again at the door, turned his face sideways and said in a deep voice: "A lower official is a lower official, not a prince, and it will never be a prince." β
After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out, without looking back.
The prince sat there and closed his eyes, "Really? β
