Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter, Lu Bingzhen slowly got up and saluted respectfully, "The courtiers pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao Min stared at the girl in front of him calmly, "Qingning County Jun doesn't have to be polite, let's be even,"

After the ceremony, it was quiet for a long time, and Lu Bingzhen seemed to fiddle with the tea set in his hand as if he didn't know how to speak. After renewing the tea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Bingzhen finally spoke.

"On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rescued him, and the courtiers have not thanked him in person, and I really thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day."

Xiao Min's expression was faint, as if it wasn't him who saved people, "Lu Jiu Niangzi invited Gu to come here today, I'm afraid it's not just for this matter to thank you." If there is anything else, Lu Jiu Niangzi might as well say it directly. If not, Lone will leave first. ”

The cold and the Shangyuan Festival on that day are like two people.

Lu Bingzhen hesitated and said, "If the courtiers are not mistaken, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want the courtiers to enter the East Palace to be the crown princess?" ”

Xiao Min still looked at the girl in front of him calmly, "So what?" After listening to Jiu Niangzi, she is going to marry Qilang of the Wang family. ”

After Lu Bingzhen took a deep breath, he could only pretend not to hear His Royal Highness the Prince's words, and said stubbornly, "If that's the case, the courtiers have a few words to ask His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

It seemed that some kind of difficulty was gradually overcome, and Lu Bingzhen's words gradually became smoother.

"His Royal Highness is the prince, so he knows that the family is powerful, the number of new nobles in the imperial examination is increasing, and the founding heroes are becoming more and more lonely, how should His Royal Highness deal with the relationship between the three? The Khan of Hulu in the north is ambitious, and there are displaced people in the southwest, what should His Highness do as a prince overlooking the world? If His Royal Highness ascends to the throne one day, how should he defend loyalty and treachery, level the world, and open a prosperous world? ”

With a click, Pei Jian, as a subordinate official of the East Palace, instantly pulled out the sword on his waist, "Nine Niangzi, have you lost your words?" The prince is the prince, and His Royal Highness has never thought of reaching the top of the imperial pole, these are just your assumptions. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression was calm as usual, and he only said lightly, "Lu Jiu Niangzi is really bold, she dares to ask Gu these things?" Lu Jiu Niangzi can know that those who know these things will either be loyal to the East Palace like Pei Jian, or they can only shut up forever. Even so, does Lu Jiuniang want to know? ”

Xiao Min, who has always been amiable in front of Lu Bingzhen, is not like the prince of the empire, and for the first time shows his fangs as one of the rulers. Corporal Lixian and Listen to Zeming are just means of ruling His Majesty, but the background color of his character is irrefutable and dustless from his status.

The supreme imperial power gave him the ability to turn the clouds and rain, and in the process also shaped his irrefutable character. The young crown prince relied on it to get a moment of respite in the treacherous court and court, but in the process he was changed and shaped by power.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wang Jian, the seven Lang of the Wang family, are completely different in their gentle character and courtesy. It was Lu Bingzhen who entered his heart when he was young, which made Xiao Min's increasingly cold and hard heart on the road to becoming an emperor give in.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Lu Bingzhen's eyes is different from Pei Jian and others, officials of the East Palace, ministers in the court, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the eyes of the emperor.

Just when Pei Jian thought that the prince was going to treat Lu Jiu Niangzi coldly this time, Lu Bingzhen smiled slightly, "Today's Shangsi Festival, His Royal Highness is also difficult to leave the palace." Since His Royal Highness is willing to come to the Lu family's tent to make an appointment, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also have something to say. ”

Pei Jian wanted to say something, but was stopped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raising his hand, "Pei Jian, you go out first, I have something to say to Lu Jiu Niangzi." “

Pei Jian, who had never dared to refuse His Royal Highness the Prince's order, left the tent even after saluting with his fists. A group of servants and attendants such as Bing Rongxue were also repatriated, and for a while, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Bingzhen were left in the tent.

No one knew what the two men had said in the tent, and no one dared to inquire what they had said. The only thing that the people around knew was that His Royal Highness did not seem to stay in the tent for too long.

About two quarters of an hour later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strode away from the tent, and then ordered someone to drive back to the palace after a short stay on the Leyou Plain, and even went straight to the palace where the queen mother was after returning to the palace.

Soon after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the tent, the ice and snow melted and returned to the tent to serve Lu Bingzhen. The clever cutting ice had already guessed what his little lady meant, but he was quite puzzled and asked.

"Jiu Niangzi, why don't you choose the Wang family Qilang? Obviously, the Wang family Qilang is from the same family as you, and they are still relatives with each other, and the adults and Mrs. obviously also like the Wang family Qilang. Especially Shichiro-kun himself has a much warmer temperament than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he is willing to promise you so many things. ”

Lu Bingzhen did not fool Cutting Ice, in her eyes, Cutting Ice, who grew up with her since she was a child and was loyal to her, should not be fooled at will.

So after a little silence, Lu Bingzhen replied seriously, "Cutting ice, you're right. Wang Jiaqilang, he is indeed a good man who can be trusted for life, he has a gentle temperament, outstanding talent, and handsome appearance......"

After that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no longer in the mood to listen to it. He thought that Lu Bingzhen came to him this time because he knew his wish to respond to his wishes. But at the moment, Lu Bingzhen seems to be really for Fan Yang's Lu family and all the people in the world here, and she doesn't seem to have any children's love in her heart.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gritted her teeth in her heart and thought, she was really worried about the way out of the Fan Yang Lu family after the imperial examination system, and she was really worried that I couldn't fight those brothers so that the imperial dynasty could only have a violent new monarch, why didn't she want to be lonely at all?

Okay, Lu Bingzhen, since this is the case, when you enter the East Palace and become the crown princess, Gu will personally teach you how to be a good princess.

Because of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince missed Lu Bingzhen's last words. "But I don't mean to be male or female to my cousin of the Wang family, just a brother and sister. So it's not a pity not to marry the cousin of the Wang family. ”

Among these two, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince with imperial power, and Lu Bingzhen is the daughter of the family cultivated by the Fan Yang Lu family, the head of the family.

In this power game between the family and the royal family, the two of them, as representatives of their respective powers, were pushed together by various forces in the whirlpool of the times. Of course, this is from Lu Bingzhen's point of view. From the point of view of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Min, there is also the joy of many years of long-cherished wish coming true.

However, in the stories that circulated later, there were not so many parts of the power struggle. Everyone sings about the deep love between Xiao Min and Emperor Lu Bingzhen, who have no harem and no different surnames, and they all sing the praises of the prosperity of the double saints and the harvest and wealth.

Since then, the Shangsi Festival has become a good opportunity for young Xiaolangjun and little ladies to travel together, and countless young Xiaolangjun and little ladies have met and promised each other on the Leyou Plain. And the trend of traveling in the original Shangsi Festival is even more than in previous decades.

However, these two people still have no premonition about what will happen in the next few decades.

After that, Liu Niang and Qi Niang went back to the tent together, and Qi Niang was keenly aware that the ninth sister's mood seemed to be much more relaxed. Although she was puzzled, she was still very happy for the ninth sister.

Under the urging of cutting ice and melting snow, Lu Bingzhen returned to Lu's house as he did after finishing the work of curing his illness by the river, just like when he came.

The first thing he did after returning home was to ask his mother Li for peace, Li stared at his daughter for a long time, and there was no sorrow in Ah Rui's eyes, but there was a kind of frank firmness.

This made the Li family even more worried, and her daughter A Rui was obviously determined. It's good if this decision is biased in favor of the Wang family Shichiro, if not...... Lee couldn't have wanted to think about that ending.

Maybe he was afraid of something, Li Shi heard his daughter say clearly, "Mother, don't marry me and the seventh cousin of the Wang family, I think about it, I am willing to follow my grandfather's wishes to marry into the East Palace." ”

Li barely maintained his calm, sent his daughter away with a smile, and turned around and urgently ordered the servant to send a letter to Lu Qi's official office, asking Lu Qi to return home as soon as possible.

When Lu Qi entered the inner courtyard with a dusty cold wind, he saw his wife Li who was crying in the mirror. Linked to today's Shangsi Festival, after her daughter and the prince both went to the river on the Leyou Yuan to do a ritual to cure illness, Lu Qi's heart sank suddenly.

"Did Jiu Niang listen to her father's words and marry into the East Palace and get involved in this muddy water?"

The Li family nodded abruptly under the light, and Lu Qi smiled bitterly when he saw this, "Why did I raise such an obedient and sensible daughter, I sometimes prefer that Ah Rui thinks more about herself like Wu Niang." ”

Hearing this, Li's tears could no longer hold back, and she choked up, "But if Ah Rui asks for something by herself, I won't feel so sad." I'd rather that Ah Rui is a prince who misses the prince, or is greedy for imperial power and wealth, it is better than being involved in the muddy waters of the palace for the sake of the family. Oh my fern. ”

Lu Qi's heartache is no less than that of the Li family, but her daughter has a big idea to urinate since she was a child, and her father, as the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu family, also means this.

At present, Lu Qi and his wife can really only prepare to marry their daughter and enter the East Palace as the crown princess.

In such an instant, Lu Qi's heart swelled with a strong disgust for the family, which even included the Fan Yang Lu family from which he was born.

Later, even today's Lu Qi himself did not expect that the Fanyang Lu family did rise rapidly as Lu Zhi expected with the help of Lu Bingzhen to enter the palace as the crown princess and even as the queen, and became the first of the hot magnates at that time.

However, at the same time, the Fanyang Lu family has completely lost its foundation as a family from generation to generation under the operation of Lu Qi's father and daughter. From then on, the Fanyang Lu family could only rely on poetry and books to consolidate their power in the court and the cultivation of imperial examination scholars, and completely lost the monopoly of the family in the court.
