Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 12 He invites her
Luo Ning was a little panicked when she heard about the "Prince's Mansion". In the morning, Qin Zhao came to Dali Temple with rice-flavored snacks and told her that the emperor had ordered her to investigate the Hailan Pearl case.

On the other hand... Qin Zhao said that the prince is going to entertain the top three in the imperial examination in the past two years tonight. Who are the top three?Of course Qin Zhao and Luo Ning are among them.

At that time Luo Ning wanted to shirk, but Qin Zhao seemed to have expected it and said that if Luo Ning didn't go, he would personally go to the Taifu's house to visit the teacher and pick her up by the way!
Luo Ning could imagine the situation when Qin Zhao entered the Taifu's mansion.

When the whole family saw my husband's diligence, they didn't even have to think about it.

If her grandmother and mother heard that someone was coming to pick her up, they would probably beat gongs and drums to send her out!
It’s so embarrassing, cover your face!
This is also the reason why Song Zhuer looked panicked when she saw Luo Ning in the morning. This Master Luo is good at everything, with high IQ and high EQ, but he has never been with a man before, so he is a little at a loss!

Luo Ning looked at the sky and went back to Dali Temple and Prince's Mansion first, then go there at night.

Luo Ning didn't dare to let Qin Zhao pick her up, so he took the initiative to come to the Prince's Mansion.

The Prince's Mansion is very close to the palace, and you can still vaguely see a corner of the palace. When the Prince heard that Mr. Luo had arrived, he quickly came out to greet him.

Luo Ning didn't know him. It was the first time they met him today, so he quickly said politely: "I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness!"

But looking around, he didn't see Qin Zhao or anyone else.

"No need to disturb me. We are about the same age. We should get to know each other more. I have long admired Mr. Luo's name!"

The prince is about the same age as Qin Zhao. If Qin Zhao looks cold, handsome and majestic, then the prince is as gentle as jade.

Luo Ning was a little confused. He was about to ask if he was early, but the prince quickly explained: "Qin Zhao said that Mr. Luo likes Cuixianglou's sweet and sour fish, so he went to pack a portion and bring it back! He will be there soon!" Wan looked at Luo Ning with a smile.

Luo Ning's face was on fire, he had never been so embarrassed, this, this, this~
The prince then said to Luo Ning: "In the past six months, Qin Zhao and I have been helping our father in Wanzhou. He has not been in the royal city for a few days since he took over as Jin Yiwei. Now that he is back, he must settle the relationship with Dali Temple! "

Luo Ning nodded, but felt something strange in his heart.

The prince smiled: "Qin Zhao and I grew up together, and Mr. Luo's grandfather is our tutor, so there is no need to be cautious!"

As they walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the prince continued: "There are six people who took the imperial examination in two years, and three of them are serving in other continents. There are only Qin Zhao and you in the royal city, and our good friend Cui You who is now serving in the cabinet!"

Luo Ning made a mental calculation. After a long time, there were only three people in the party. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of a hoe clanging on the ground.

"Oh, the government is maintaining the water canal. Today's project will be completed soon and it will not affect us!" the prince said.

Luo Ning thought of the Queen's case and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, are these people from the Second Team of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Oh? How did you know it was the second team!"

"Your Highness, may I ask a question? There is something related to the second team today!"

"No problem, Qin Zhao and Cui You haven't arrived yet, I'll take you there." After saying that, he took Luo Ning to find the person in charge of the second team.

When Liu Gongtou stood in front of Luo Ning, he knew that she was the Minister of Dali Temple, and was a little surprised that the Minister of Dali Temple wanted to question him.

Luo Ning got straight to the point: "Are these the same people who repaired the longevity palace of the Queen Mother last month?"

Gongtou Liu replied respectfully: "Sir, that's right!"

"What about the Queen's Palace of Eternal Life?"

"It's also our second team!"

"From the beginning of maintaining the Longevity Palace to today, have there been any changes in personnel?"

"There is no change. There are 18 people in the second team. With me, there are 19 people. They have to report to the Ministry of Industry every month!"

"Great, do you still remember the day when we ended the Queen's Changsheng Palace?"

"It was about two months ago. The Ministry of Works has records of the specific time. If you need it, I can send it to Dali Temple tomorrow!" Foreman Liu was very polite!

Luo Ning nodded: "Then I'll trouble you! Which projects have those people participated in in the past two months and when? I hope that Liu Gongtou will be sent to Dali Temple tomorrow!"

Liu Gongtou nodded in agreement, and Luo Ning asked again:

"Foreman Liu must be very familiar with these people in the second team. Have you noticed anything unusual about anyone in the past two or three months?"

Foreman Liu thought about it carefully: "That's not true. We are gathered together by the Ministry of Works when there is work, and then disperse after we finish the work!"

"Did anything happen on the day when the Queen's Changsheng Palace was closed? Does Mr. Liu have any impressions?"

"Something happened? Nothing happened. Oh, by the way, the only special thing about that day was that we were supposed to finish the project and rest for a while, but the official kiln had to rush to make tributes for the Queen Mother's birthday and there were not enough manpower, so the Ministry of Industry sent us directly there. !”

"That means he didn't leave the palace?" Luo Ning's mind flashed and he discovered a clue!
"Yes, later I heard that something was lost in the Queen's Palace, and we discussed it privately. Coincidentally, we were also in the Changsheng Palace, but we heard that the palace where the thing was lost was far away from us, so everyone just joked about it!"

Luo Ning didn't know much about the official kiln, so he asked him again: "Did all the people in your second team go directly to the official kiln? No one left the palace?"

"Exactly. I worked for five days and completed all the porcelain needed before the Queen Mother's birthday. I even won a commendation from the emperor!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Liu. You will send me the list as soon as possible tomorrow. Regarding today's questioning, I also ask Mr. Liu not to tell the members of the second team for the time being. I am very grateful!"

"That's natural, sir, don't worry!" After speaking, Foreman Liu bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness, I have resigned!"

The prince looked at the back of Foreman Liu and then looked back at Luo Ning doubtfully. Of course Luo Ning would not explain the meaning of the question, so he asked the prince instead:
"Your Highness, where do these people who maintain ditches live at night?"

"In the Prince's Mansion, the Ministry of Industry has regulations. Whenever there is a project, no entry or exit is allowed. To ensure safety, we will only let you go after the completion!"

Luo Ning nodded. It seems that he is going to the official kiln tomorrow!

The two people walked back as they talked, and saw Qin Zhao and Cui You striding over. When the prince saw Qin Zhao, he immediately glanced at Luo Ning. He saw that her face was unnatural and a little shy, and he snickered in his heart. It seemed that Master Luo was here. , for Qin Zhao, too...

Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning and smiled: "Master Luo, Master Cui needs no introduction, last year's number one scholar! Now he is the youngest director of the cabinet!"

Luo Ning nodded. Of course she remembered that she and Cui You took the imperial examination in the same year. In the final palace examination, Luo Ning fell behind by only three points. Cui You's articles were deeply loved by the emperor, especially his views on taxation. She also thought it was good!

Thinking this way, I feel that Qin Zhao is also amazing. He is the number one scholar this year!

Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning dazzled and raised the packaged sweet and sour fish: "Hurry up and take a seat! The fish will cool down after a while and lose its delicious taste!"

The four of them sat down at the table. Qin Zhao naturally sat next to Luo Ning. Cui You and the prince were smiling. Luo Ning was very uncomfortable. No matter how civilized the people were, after all, he was a girl sitting at the same table with them.

The prince hurriedly explained: "Actually, he was afraid that Mr. Luo would not give him the favor, so he came up with this excuse which is not an excuse. Qin Zhao knows that you are on good terms with Xu An. Next time, he will call her and even Wei Chen from Zhen Guogong Palace. What do you think, Mr. Luo, of my unborn princess?"
