After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 36
Rong Yu caught a glimpse of Mrs. Qin's expression, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qin and Prime Minister Qin have been separated for a long time, and must be missed very much. If the emperor has a banquet, you might as well go and have a look."

Zhiqi said: "I just came here for this matter, the emperor has a decree, and ordered my wife and princess to accompany the empress to appreciate it. It is said that the king of Pingjun brought a very beautiful princess back, waiting for the emperor to give her a marriage."

When Rong Yu and the others heard this, they became very interested, and changed their clothes after a while, and went to Chen Ying Hall.

Before I got close, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside. It was different from what I heard in the past. The music of the Central Plains has always praised elegance, but the place of this song is like the raging sea and sand, and it is like a young bird in the deep forest. It is urgent like a waterfall. Ruo Liuyun teaches people to be happy and sad at the same time, and they can't be themselves.Rong Yu hadn't changed yet, Princess Qin blurted out in surprise: "Zhu Ji Ming Cui!"

Rong Yufang was startled, and Mrs. Qin whispered in her ear: "It is said that Zhu Ji Mingcui is the number one musician in the country of Jing, and is known as a national treasure. I can't imagine that the king of Pingjun is so capable." Rong Yu knew that she was going to "Zhu Ji Mingcui" "I explained the four characters to myself, and the student couldn't help being grateful, and said: "Madam is really knowledgeable—let's go in."

Since someone came to lead the three of them in, there was an empty seat next to Xin Yu, obviously reserved for Rong Yu, Princess Qin sat on the right, and then Madam Qin.The queen mother did not attend, and there were not many relatives and dignitaries at the banquet, but no matter how many people there were, Prince Ping could see it at a glance.He seemed to have gone through a lot of wind and sand when he was an envoy to Jing country. He was a little darker and thinner, but he was still energetic, especially his pair of eyes were shining and heroic.

Rong Yu thought in his heart: His appearance is too delicate, it would be better this way, but that expression...is more like his mother.

Sitting next to him was a woman with extremely fair complexion and huge eyes. The pupils of the eyes were slightly light blue, extremely pale, and there was an indescribable innocence when she turned around. She seemed to be the "extremely beautiful princess". .Liu Luo whispered a few words to her, then she raised her glass and said to Rong Yu: "Congratulations, empress!" She raised her arm, shaking a long string of silver bracelets, which were entwined with lotus roots and jingled like bells, and everyone in the house was surrounded by her. Attracted, Rong Yu couldn't help laughing: "Thank you princess, she looks so beautiful."

The princess looked happy, and Liu Luo whispered something in her ear, and she blushed immediately, because her complexion was extremely fair, that layer of embarrassment was like a layer of rouge on white jade, bright and pleasing.

Rong Yu saw it interestingly, and said with a smile: "Prince Pingjun has so many selfish things to say, and he can't finish talking all the way from Jingguo to the capital."

Xin Yu also laughed when he heard the words, and said: "It's a great joy for Luo Er to be valued by the princess."

Liu Luo didn't feel embarrassed either, and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Your Majesty, the matchmaker." The princess didn't understand what he meant, so she just turned her face and stared at him with a smile. Dazzling as a pearl.

At this time, the music stopped for a while, and all kinds of exotic fruits came to the table one by one. Rong Yu heard them casually talking about the scenery of Jing country, and also mentioned the identity of the princess. It turned out that she was the younger sister of Princess Jinzhu, named Zhenzhu.Rong Yu thought to himself: Why did he name the country of Jing?Suddenly, it occurred to him that Princess Jinzhu seemed to be allocated to Lord Rui, so he didn't know what to call Prince Pingjun and Lord Rui.She sneaked a glance at Xin Yu, but there was no worry on his face.

Xin Yu noticed her gaze, turned around and smiled at her, took a picture album from Eunuch Xu who was standing beside him, and handed it to her, saying: "Luoer has a heart, and it's quite interesting to include everything he's seen and heard along the way. You might as well take a look."

Rong Yu took the picture album, there are indeed many treasures in the picture, Liu Luo's brushwork is excellent, the charm can be seen between the outlines, Rong Yu was fascinated by it, he turned the pages page by page, and saw a page in the picture, it turned out to be a bird The ant couldn't help laughing and said: "Pingjun Wang dares to be pampered because he is used to being pampered. Do you think such things are rare?"

When Xin Yu heard this, he turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but laugh, but Liu Luo answered calmly, "Your Majesty, look carefully at its antennae, but are they common ants?"

Rong Yu looked carefully and saw the tentacles gleaming with silver light, he said: "It's really different, Prince Ping has good eyesight."

Liu Luo said: "This is a special species of ants in Youzhou, the locals call them silver ants, they gather because of the joy of light, and their eating habits are quite different from ordinary ants, although they are not rare, they are hard to find in the capital. "

Xin Yu said: "Luo'er has a heart for such heretical things."

Liu Luo replied: "Your Majesty has taught you the right thing." She didn't say any more.Rong Yu was stunned, thinking: So this is how Tang Min's suicide note in the disobedient Hou's mansion was left.

She lowered her head and ate a little bit, without looking sideways, because she would see Qin Mi as long as she turned her eyes slightly, he was still handsome and personable when she first met him, and there was a person standing beside him, although he had faded away The fierce temperament, but Rong Yu recognized that it was Yu Nian.

She didn't know why the two of them were still alive, and why Liu Luo would walk with them.

She tried to say to herself: I don't think about it.She felt that she could hide like this forever, if she didn't think about it, if she didn't look at it, she wouldn't know the truth.

During the banquet, singing and dancing were changed, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves together.

After Prime Minister Qin returned to the court, Xin Yu had a lot of free time, and often stayed in the center of Cuihu Lake. He liked Langxuan very much, but when he saw him laughing, he would occasionally sigh softly. One day, this child will also understand power and conspiracy , and then sauntered forward with bloody hands, as he did.

Such an innocent smile, but only in the past few years.

After the new year is the beginning of spring, the marriage of Prince Liuluo of Pingjun is on the agenda, because Xin Yu has a purpose and does not hesitate to spend, so the money is spent like water, striving for perfection in every aspect, Rong Yu hugged Langxuan to accompany the princess to watch the newly produced Clothes, kissed Langxuan and said: "In the future, I will marry a beautiful wife like Liu's elder brother." Langxuan was tickled by her, his little hands and feet danced wildly, giggling all over.

Princess Zhenzhu blushed.

Rong Yu asked the princess how he met Liu Luo in private, and the princess said: "My brother has heard about the profound culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and also heard that there is a minister of Qin among the envoys, so he gathered a group of scholars in the Hall of Xiande, saying that he wanted to try the minister of Qin. Is talent really as rumored? I was curious for a moment, and I went after hearing the news. I didn’t dare to enter the hall, so I found a place outside the hall to eavesdrop. At the beginning, listening to them quote scriptures was very boring, and I already wanted to leave. Suddenly I heard them say that they wanted to make a poem, so they stayed. The people in the room picked up the characters, and I heard my brother say: "The word "Renri" is not easy." I heard from my master the rules of composing poems, it was really difficult, I was thinking about how Qin Xianghui would compose a poem, when I suddenly heard someone behind me laughing..."

Rong Yu thought to himself: It must be Liu Luo, this kid is ignorant, how can he say anything good, this little girl is naive and easy to deceive.

But I heard her say again: "I turned my head and saw a young man standing behind me. I have never seen such a handsome man before, and I thought: So the original man looks so gentle, more handsome than a girl." It's pretty good. When he saw me turning to look at him, he just smiled and said: "You Jing Guo is too contemptuous of people. Why do you need Qin Xiang for such a simple poem? I can do it too." I was a little shy at first. When he said this, he couldn't help opening his eyes, and said in a daze: "Then do it and listen." He still smiled casually, his eyes were crooked, like the moon in the first grade of junior high school. He read a few sentences "It's only been seven days in spring, and it's been two years since I left home." I thought to myself: Can such words be regarded as poetry?

After hearing these two lines of poem, Rong Yu couldn't help bursting out laughing, thinking: This girl is not completely brainless, Prince Ping has fallen into a tussle with the boss.

Seeing Rongyu's smile, Princess Zhenzhu said: "Your Majesty also thinks it's funny, right? When he saw me like that, he said: 'Little girl is too contemptuous of others, I haven't finished reading yet.' Then I said: 'Then you Then finish reading.' He then read out the next two sentences: 'When a person returns to the sunset, his thoughts are before the flowers.'”

Rong Yu couldn't help being startled when she finished reading, and thought: These two sentences are so delicate, Liu Luo can compose such skillful poems in such a short period of time, it can be seen that he has pen and ink in his chest.This kind of literary talent can make everyone feel that he is ignorant and incompetent, which shows the depth of his scheming.

Princess Zhenzhu said: "I also think these two sentences are really good, but I am not convinced, so I laughed at him and said: It will not take two years to walk from Yingdu to the northernmost point of our Jing Kingdom." He smiled and answered me: "In our court, there was a servant of the Ministry of Industry surnamed Cui. Once he wrote a poem saying, 'My younger brother died in the south of the Yangtze River, and my brother Saibei died'. Everyone sympathized with him and said, I don't see how miserable your family background is. Cui Shilang replied:' There is really no such thing, I just want to fight neatly. 'Me too... There is no such thing, I just want to fight neatly.'”

When Rong Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Prince Ping is so good at making nonsense."

Princess Zhenzhu smiled apologetically for a while, and continued: "...It just so happened that Qin Xiang's poem came out of it. When I heard it, it was far worse than his poem, and the people in the palace all agreed. I can't bear it. I kept saying to him, "Your poems are better than Mr. Qin. What do you do?" He said, "I'm a clerk. I help King Ping do some copying and writing." I said: " You are so good, you are really big, big... small." He heard me say this, and said with a smile: "You are overqualified, you are such a little girl who doesn't study hard." He looks so beautiful when he smiles. When I was stunned for a while, I forgot to refute him."

Rong Yu thought to himself: With Liu Luo's eyesight, she must have seen through the identity of Princess Zhenzhu at a glance. It's ridiculous that this princess is so naive, she only thinks that she is good-looking.

Princess Zhenzhu said again: "Actually, we only saw this side, I don't know why, after I go back, I always think about him, thinking that when he smiles, his eyebrows are so curved, his mouth is so upturned, he always seems to be laughing at me. Same. Whether eating, sleeping, or walking, I always feel his shadow swaying in front of me, swaying back and forth. Suddenly I thought: Oops, I will never see him again. Madam, am I... stupid?"

Rong Yu shook his head, seeing that the childishness on her face was still intact, he couldn't help but think: This princess is much more innocent than her sister.Such innocence, how can he be the opponent of Prince Ping?If Prince Ping treats her wholeheartedly, that's fine, if he just borrows the power behind her or something happens in the future... But then I'm afraid Princess Zhenzhu won't be the Zhenzhu she is today.She held the princess's hand and said, "No, princess, you are very nice and smart, and that's how you like someone."

The princess was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty, you are so kind. No wonder the Emperor likes you. Liu Luo also said that you are the number one person in the palace. I couldn't think of a way back then, and I was very anxious. It was getting closer and closer, and I fell ill in a panic. My brother was very worried and came over to ask me what was going on. I grabbed my brother's sleeve and said, "I want to see the secretary next to King Pingjun." My brother was very strange , I asked me the whole story, I told my brother about the matter, and my brother was very angry, scolded me and said: "Your status is noble, how can you be confused with a low-level document?" My brother wants to leave, I know I can't let him Let's go, once he left, I would have no hope of seeing him again. Later, my brother couldn't hold me back, so he made an agreement with me that we could only meet him once, and we couldn't move our minds again. After a day, someone came to see me, unexpectedly He is a middle-aged Confucian scholar. I asked someone to drive him out, saying that my brother lied to me, and my brother was so disturbed by me that he had no choice but to let me disguise himself as a man to identify him... I recognized him immediately, this big liar. "

She said these words with a smile, with a look of complacency on her face.

Rong Yu hugged Langxuan tightly, and thought in his heart: What a lucky princess, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jing knew that his sister was looking for King Pingjun, so he naturally agreed to their marriage.Instead, he taught Prince Ping to pick up a big bargain out of thin air, he had Jing Guo as his backer, he had a relationship with Prince Rui, and he even deceived a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone.He echoed in his mouth: "It turned out that Prince Ping was recruited by the princess, no wonder he has been on this mission for so long."

Princess Zhenzhu said: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. It was when Liu Luo and Master Qin went to pay homage to King Pingyi when they passed through Youzhou, so they lived in the residence of the Marquis of Disobedience for half a month. They will meet, Guard Yu looks a bit fierce, I don't like him."

Hearing these words, Rong Yu thought: In this way, Liu Luo and Qin You should be cooperating temporarily, and Qin You must also be a suspicious person, so he didn't go to the Xilin Pagoda that night to save his life, but he didn't know what happened. How did he escape in Yangzhou?So he pretended to ask casually: "Did you pass through Yangzhou along the way? I heard that Yangzhou is the most affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many things to do and see."

Princess Zhenzhu said with a smile: "I've heard of Yangzhou too, but Liu Luo refused to spend the night in Yangzhou, so she didn't go to the city, but a few guards stayed behind to buy things, but the only guard left who caught up later .”

Rong Yu came to this point to understand, probably it was Qin Ni who became suspicious again and saved his life.Yu Nian was able to escape from the bottom of the arrow, and his skills were considered impressive.

Princess Zhenzhu has lived in the palace for more than half a month, and she has everything in place. She can pass through the house only after choosing an auspicious day.

Not long after, the Queen Mother sent a message, and the date was set for February [-]th, You hour.
