"Huh?" Chen Xueying was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "Lu Zhao, your skills in changing the topic are very clumsy. β
The man coughed lightly: "It's not to change the subject, it's just that you feel it, you are more beautiful than the snow." β
He said this more bluntly, as if embarrassed, he twisted his head and refused to look at her.
Chen Xueying's eyes widened, and she suddenly stopped in place.
This time it wasn't an angry stare, but a complete shock.
Lu Zhao would say such a romantic thing, this sentence actually sounded to her, and it was actually about the same level as a love story.
If you don't play well and your feelings are not in place, it will look very greasy and fake.
However, this is the first time that Lu Zhao has said it so bluntly, but he is mostly shocked.
"You don't even dare to make eye contact, are you telling a lie?" She asked.
"Of course not." He was questioned and immediately turned back to meet her.
Chen Xueying had a calm smile on her face, and the shock and shame had receded, leaving only calm and stability, as if waiting for his performance.
Lu Zhao couldn't resist her gaze after all, so he quickly avoided it again, put his hand on the hairpin on her head, and raised his hand to gently support it.
"Lone doesn't lie to you, good-looking is good-looking, and Lone is not blind."
After he said this, his courage was good, and he looked at her again, this time he was no longer embarrassed, and he no longer looked away, but stared at her directly, with a serious and resolute attitude.
Chen Xueying discovered that the prince of Northern Qi had a pair of charming eyes, and when he killed, his eyes were very cold.
And when he looked at him, he actually gave birth to a bit of affection, which made her have some kind of illusion, as if the man in front of her loved her so much that she couldn't extricate herself.
"Okay, this palace is quite satisfied, and I won't spot check you when I eat. If you really have nothing to say to your mother tomorrow, you can mention a few words about this palace, and I will come out to save you at that time. Chen Xueying's chin was raised, affirming his flattery, and she generously expressed her willingness to help.
Lu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, rarely hooked the corners of his lips, and revealed a brisk smile, short and faint, almost fleeting.
The two went to ask Lu Wuji for peace again, and then Chen Xueying left first, and her mission to ask for peace today was successfully completed.
And Lu Zhao stayed, and the men of the Lu family got together, and the sense of oppression came immediately.
Because Concubine Li was hung on a tree last night, several people had different thoughts.
Everyone knows that there must be something strange in this, but few people know the complete inside story.
Lu Qingfeng was the trigger of the incident, but the specific plan was not arranged by him, let alone implemented by him.
Even in order to avoid suspicion, Concubine Yu repeatedly reminded him that at the dinner party of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was not allowed to be in the limelight and not make mistakes, just behaving ordinarily.
Lu Zhao is the bitter master of the incident, but he doesn't know who designed this matter, and how Concubine Li was taken and put on his bed, he just has a faint guess.
Lu Qingming was a bystander, but he didn't know anything, at least when he went to change his clothes, there was a strange fragrance in the next room, he also smelled it, guessing that something might have happened, but he didn't know much, but because he appeared at the scene by coincidence, he became the strongest suspect.
Lu Wuji was annoyed, he knew that things were not simple, and he also dug out Concubine Li's original plan from Mingbao's mouth.
This green hat was not worn on his head after all, this matter did not make a big fuss, and he was also afraid of letting Zhong Haihai fight on the battlefield after the year, and he was not ready to make trouble in the open, but he would not let Concubine Li go in private.
As for Lu Qingyue, after he finished the ceremony, he still seemed to have come to make up the numbers.
"This month's scuffle has been canceled, and I don't want to make the atmosphere dull for the New Year." Lu Wuji waved his hand, his tone was a little sullen, obviously not interested.
Lu Zhao had a different suggestion, and directly bowed his hand and said: "Father, the New Year is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and you shouldn't relax and slack off." But you're right, it's really not lucky to fight in an underground martial arts arena. It's better to take advantage of the annual leave to rest, have more leisure time, and let the sons and daughters fight with the wolves, and you can consider whether everyone has improved in the last year. β
As soon as his words fell, the hall was silent in an instant.
Although Lu Zhao is good at fighting, he is actually not belligerent.
He treats the Lu family's melee rules, and they are all obedient and cooperative, but not active.
And this time, it was he who took the initiative to not only stand, but also to expand the scope of the war, and directly even they themselves played.
This kind of person who plays in person is generally to compete for the position of the crown prince, or for huge interests.
Whenever it is raised, it is quite serious and serious, and both the winner and the loser are seriously injured.
Their generation is okay, the children of the Lu family in the previous generations, every time they encounter this kind of war between brothers to the death, there is a mortality rate.
"Big brother, although I'm not afraid of this battle, it's just that my father has already said that now in the New Year, it's not good to make it too bloody, the scene is not good-looking, and the implication is not very good." Lu Qingming frowned, not quite approving.
He is a person with inconvenient legs and feet, and every time he fights, he is not of great use, and he is purely ugly, so he is the most reluctant person.
Lu Wuji raised his eyebrows, from the time Lu Zhao said this, he had already understood what Lu Zhao meant.
Lu Zhao can become the crown prince, not because he is the eldest son born to the queen, but because he is the strongest among the several people, and he has never been afraid of brothers fighting.
Usually he is not active, but he is just troublesome.
Lu Wuji, an old pervert, likes to watch his sons fight, but he doesn't like to watch a dominant family.
If Lu Zhao killed all his younger brothers, then Lu Wuji would have to go crazy.
This kind of can't kill a hundred, and every time you have to fight, it is an unnecessary existence for Lu Zhao.
And this time he took the initiative to mention it, just to teach these younger brothers a lesson.
He didn't need to guess who framed him was, he just had to fight it all over again.
"It's okay, I think what the prince said is also reasonable, blood is a medal of merit for the Lu family's boys, a great omen, and there is no bad meaning." Lu Wuji agreed to Lu Zhao's proposal without much thought.
He was not happy in his heart, he didn't care about framing Lu Zhao, but with this method, he almost made him wear a green hat, which made the Nine Five Honorable feel that he had been provoked.
dared to hit him with his ideas, and even wanted to use him to deal with Lu Zhao, using his strength to fight and completely using him as a tool, which completely angered him.
"What my father said is very true, the sons may not have sparred with their brothers for a long time, and their hands are itching at the moment!" Lu Qingfeng immediately agreed.
His main focus at the moment is to follow the crowd, since the emperor's attention has been decided, then this matter is a certainty, and he naturally flew to express his support.
"There is still an audience with foreign ministers on the second day of junior high school, so it will be set on the third day of junior high school." Lu Wuji even set a date.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed his sons.
After several people walked out of the Longqian Palace, they all walked forward with their heads bored, without even saying a word of exchange.
Usually, he can pretend to be a brother and sister, but now that the war has been decided, this tense atmosphere has permeated in advance, and he is naturally in no mood to speak, and he doesn't even want to look at the other party's face.
In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xueying got up early again, and she kept yawning.
In fact, she already regretted it in her heart, why did she promise so happily yesterday, if it wasn't for the fulfillment of her promise, she would definitely have slept lazily today, and she didn't have to go to Fengzao Palace to ask for peace at all.
Speaking of this kind of thing, Lu Zhao and Lu Qingyue should have been active, after all, they are the queen's own sons, and one of her daughters-in-law has a lot of fun.
It's really not so easy to be a good person.
Hua Lu was combing her hair, and Chen Xueying felt that the room was dull, allowing people to open the window to breathe.
When she turned her head to look out the window, she immediately saw a man punching in the cold wind.
Lu Zhao's cotton clothes were all taken off, and he was only wearing a narrow-sleeved middle shirt, but even if he wore so little, his forehead was full of sweat, and even with his breathing, there were bursts of steam.
Chen Xueying shuddered when she saw it, and suddenly her sleepiness dissipated a lot.
Lu Zhao punched vigorously, but it was smooth, as if it contained some kind of charm, which made people fascinated.
She suddenly thought about it and asked Hua Lu to put a simple bun for her.
"Don't wear hairpins, just tie them tightly, and the palace will also go out for activities." She was eager to try her out.
Lu Zhao finished a set of punches and was about to stop, when he suddenly noticed a cool breeze blowing behind his ears.
An idea popped into his head: someone had attacked.
The man immediately turned around and raised his hand with a punch,
The snowball that was thrown over in an instant was hit, and countless snow particles scattered like flowers, and even floated on his face, chilling for a while.
In the midst of the scattered snow particles, Lu Zhao saw Chen Xueying's smiling face, and she threw the snowball in her hand over again.
Lu Zhao didn't break it up this time, but directly raised his hand to catch it.
Seeing that he was so easy to answer, Chen Xueying couldn't help but pout and stepped forward impatiently.
"How funny are you so unemotional, pretending to be hit by me!"
"Lone was hit by a weak woman with this thing, what's interesting? Just wait for death. He raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Chen Xueying snorted lightly, reached out and grabbed his collar, and approached directly.
"Why are you sweating so much? Do I see if it's sweat, or if it's snow? β
She approached as she spoke, and the two of them were almost nose to nose.
She suddenly got so close, Lu Zhao didn't even react, and then a piercing cold poured into the back of her neck.
Obviously, she took advantage of the time when he was stunned, and put her hands, which were frozen like ice cubes, into his collars, and successfully sneaked attack.
"Hey, hey, how interesting you look!" She chuckled.
Anyway, she thought it was very interesting, and she had no power to restrain the chicken, and she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart for the successful sneak attack of the prince of Northern Qi.
Originally, it was just a joke, but when she reached in, she found that he was really hot.
Instantly warmed her frozen hands, even more reliable than a stove.
After all, the stove can't be so close, so I don't dare to touch it at all, but Lu Zhao's neck can be tightly pressed with her palm, and the warmth of the human body can't be compared to the charcoal fire.
She didn't want to leave, and she still clung to it.
"Let go, Lone's neck can't be touched." He raised his hand and tapped her wrist.
Chen Xueying was puzzled: "Why can't you touch it?" Do you have sores on your neck? β
The man twisted his eyebrows: "There are no sores, can't you touch them?" The neck is the door of life, and it is very uncomfortable. β
"This palace can't kill you."
"Lone knows, but the instinct to avoid can't be controlled." He wrinkled his eyebrows and gritted his teeth slightly, apparently with a hard time.
Growing up in an environment where the weak eat the strong, and mixed with wolves, he grew up watching wolves fight, and once he was bitten on the neck, he was not far from death.
So keeping his neck away from everything has become instinct, even if he knows that Chen Xueying can't kill him.
Chen Xueying sighed lightly, and still left his neck as she said.
"This is a disease, do you know that you have to cure it?"
Lu Zhao chuckled: "The crown princess is too worried, and she is less sick than you." β
She was also embarrassed to say that others were sick, and she herself was the sickest.
"What did you do when you didn't pack up? Want to have a snowball fight with Lone? He glanced up and down, and saw that she was not dressed in complicated courtiers, and she only used a hosta on her head, which looked extremely plain.
Chen Xueying likes delicate and luxurious dresses, even if it is a shirt, it is embroidered with patterns.
This posture doesn't look like it's going to say goodbye.
He bent down and grabbed a ball of snow, and instantly pinched it into a snowball, even if he only looked at it with the naked eye, he could see that this snowball was hard, and if it hit someone, it would probably hurt to death.
He tossed the snowball up and down, his eyes sweeping over her body, as if thinking about where to hit and which hurt the most.
Chen Xueying immediately wrinkled her eyebrows: "This palace is fighting against you, what do you think?" This palace is here to have fun, not to die? β
Lu Zhao instantly threw away the snowball in his hand, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not interested, I refuse." β
He didn't really want to have a snowball fight with her, but when he heard that she was going to have fun, he didn't want to participate in it for a moment.
What else can she have fun, naturally she uses the pain of others to create her own happiness, and this other person is most likely him.
The dignified prince of Northern Qi is not willing to have fun with her.
"Hey, don't talk so early. Do you see if Lu Qingyue has been beaten recently? Chen Xueying grabbed him and spoke softly, and when she said the second half of the sentence, there was a bit of seduction in her tone.
Lu Zhao immediately stopped and blinked.
"What do you meanβ"
"I'll go to Fengzao Palace later, and I'll just meet him." She raised her eyebrows at him as she spoke, a sly smile on her face.
"Lone thinks you owe more than him."
Chen Xueying's face instantly turned cold, and Lu Zhao immediately changed his words: "He is indeed underbeaten, how can he be beaten?" β
"Heh, what I said is like water spilled out, and this palace still thinks you owe a beating. You wait. She pouted, turned and walked away.
"He's incompetent enough to be beaten, you're beautiful enough to be beaten, it's completely different." The man immediately redeemed.
He wasn't afraid of Chen Xueying, but if it caused her madness, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble.
In order not to increase the burden on himself, Lu Zhao instantly relented, and used the killer weapon he had just learned recently to praise her.
He used it for the first time yesterday, and the effect was outstanding, and the second time he used it today, I don't know if it would be bad if it was so frequent.
Chen Xueying stopped instantly, turned around and squinted at him: "This is true." β
"Lone has said it many times to you, and Lone doesn't tell you lies."
Chen Xueying pursed her lips and said reluctantly: "Offset the anger of the palace." This palace owes a beating, so what about you? β
Obviously, whether she continues to be angry depends on his answer.
If the answer is good, then the message is thorough, and if the answer is not good, the anger is doubled.
"Lonely and murderous, mouthy." He was unceremonious.
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows, which can be regarded as unveiling this article.
Okay, her requirements are not high, just give it up.
"Let's go, the queen mother should be in a hurry."
"You're packed?" He was a little surprised.
"I'm going to beat people, I'm going to dress too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the beating." Chen Xueying nodded.
Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment, it seemed that she had wanted to beat Lu Qingyue for a long time.
When the two of them rushed to Fengzao Palace, they met the four princes outside the door, and the young man was like a relaxed tree, standing straight at the door, refusing to go in.
"When did you come? Why not go in? Chen Xueying asked.
"I went in so early to do something, don't try to help my eldest brother cheat. I'd like to see if he can hold back a few words today. Lu Qingyue instantly hung her face, and her words were quite fierce.
Chen Xueying was speechless, they all began to plan to beat him, this stupid boy was still thinking about who talked to the queen a lot.
The moment he walked in, Lu Zhao lowered his head and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "He wants to be beaten so much." β
Obviously, today is destined to be the day when the four princes will be beaten.
When the group entered the inner hall, the queen had been waiting for a long time, and the refreshments were ready.
"You're here, sit down, it's cold outside, isn't it?" Her tone rose softly, with a sense of excitement, and it was clear that she couldn't wait.
The three of them sat down separately and looked at each other, Lu Qingyue raised her chin and said in a rather arrogant tone: "I'll come first." β
Clearly, he was well prepared last night.
"Mother, I've been reading a lot of books and memorizing a lot of poems lately."
When the queen saw that he took the initiative to report to herself, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurriedly answered: "Wu'er, while you study, you should pay attention to your body." I see, you're a little thinner than before. β
Obviously, as a mother who was not always around him, the queen didn't care about how well he studied, only about his body.
"Mother, my husband praised me for my intelligence. It doesn't take much effort to learn anything, don't worry, I'm in good health. Recently, it had snowed, and he taught me several poems about snow scenes. β
"Wu'er is really a talent. Is the gentleman cruel to you? Is there a handboard? β
The mother and son had a one-sentence dialogue, and they spoke it in a good way.
The queen mother was in high spirits, but the four princes seemed a little impatient.
As a spectator, Chen Xueying couldn't help but pour a cup of tea and take a sip to cover the corners of her raised mouth.
She was afraid that she would laugh out loud, and it was obvious that the mother and son were not chatting frequently.
The queen wanted to care more about the daily life of the four princes, for fear that he would suffer, but the four princes only talked about poetry, just like reporting tasks.
In the end, the fourth prince couldn't hold back and said directly: "Queen Mother, can I recite a few poems and articles I learned to you?" β
"Okay, you carry it, the queen mother listens."
Lu Qingyue cleared her throat and began to shake her head and recit: "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear." Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. β
After he memorized one poem eloquently, he didn't pause and immediately opened the second one.
I memorized three ancient poems and began to memorize long poems again.
The queen even began to applaud and beat him, with a happy expression on her face.
The atmosphere was so powerful, Lu Qingyue turned her back more and more, and was praised by the queen, and looked at the couple opposite proudly.
The little expression seemed to say: Look, I'm smart, after saying so many words to the queen mother, Lu Zhao is definitely not as good as me.
Chen Xueying, who was already holding back her laughter, couldn't hold back her anymore when she looked like him, and laughed out loud.
Immediately, Lu Qingyue closed her mouth, frowned, and looked at her dissatisfied.
"I'm reciting poems to my mother, isn't it funny?"
He couldn't figure out what was funny, but when he saw Chen Xueying smiling so happily, his intuition was not a good thing.
Chen Xueying immediately waved her hand, she wanted to stop laughing, but she still endured it.
Finally controlling it, she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, only to find that she was laughing and tearing up.
"I'm happy. The fourth brother is really filial, knowing that the queen mother lacks the feeling of children and grandchildren around the knees, especially like a child, reciting poems and songs in front of the queen mother, just to let you experience this feeling. As the eldest sister-in-law, I was so moved to see my fourth brother grow from a fool to such a caring young man today, and I shed tears of excitement. β
She said quite sincerely, and when she arrived at the most emotional place, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking like she couldn't stop crying.
"You're obviously laughing at me, I'm thirteen years old, and you're pretending to be a child to memorize poems. Do you think I'm a fool in particular? Lu Qingyue jumped to his feet in anger, he shot the case and glared at him on the spot.
Chen Xueying almost couldn't help laughing again, hey, she guessed it accurately.
This kind of scene of showing off and reciting poems in front of her parents really made her dream back to her childhood.
However, in modern times, it is more often the New Year's holidays, where adults gather and children are picked up to perform shows.
When it was her turn, it was painful memories, as if she were a commodity to show off.
But now that she is a spectator, I just think this little thing is really chic.
What's more, Lu Qingyue is thirteen years old, and she took the initiative to perform her talents, and the picture is even more interesting.
But in front of the queen, she naturally didn't show her bad taste, and even pretended to act in a scene.
For her, this kind of drama is simply easy to come by, and there is no flaw.
"Fourth brother, why do you speculate about me like this? I'm afraid that the queen mother will be lonely, and I'm afraid that you won't be intimate enough, so I can't sleep last night. Seeing you behave so well this morning, the queen mother was also very happy, they were all very happy, and there was a sense of relief that my family had just grown up, and for a while, I was full of emotion, and I couldn't control myself. You're like that, I'm reallyβ"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she covered her face with a handkerchief at the moment, so innocent that she couldn't do it.
Of course, under the veil, there is a smiling face.
Emma, I can be sure that I have found a chance to snicker.
I have to say that her play is getting better and better.
Seeing her so sincere, the queen mother was instantly moved, and looked at the four princes with disapproval on her face.
"Little four, why do you miss your sister-in-law so much. Although there are many bad people in this palace, the queen mother also knows that your life is not easy, you have been trembling for the past thirteen years, and you have suffered from countless people's cold words and conspiracy calculations, but this does not include Xue Ying. She takes care of you more, and the queen mother sees it in her eyes, even if she doesn't want you to remember it, she can't make an enmity. β
Because of guilt, the queen never said anything serious about the four princes, and this was the first time.
Lu Qingyue has been staring at Chen Xueying, and when it comes to such a situation, he also suspects that he is a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly. οΌοΌοΌ
