Who do you like? Luo Qingzhi couldn't answer, so she wanted to find a reason to deal with it, but then the savior came.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
Luo Qingzhi listened to the message outside the palace, looked at Gao Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen must have something important to ask you. Since Your Majesty has nothing to ask about border defense, I will leave first."
Gao Zhen frowned, raised his hand to stop her, and said, "Let her come in, and don't leave either."
Luo Qingzhi still wanted to shirk, but Huang Si had already welcomed the Queen in. There was no time to say anything.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
After Queen Yang finished the ceremony, she glanced at Luo Qingzhi and said calmly: "The princess is here too."
"I've met the queen." Luo Qingzhi nodded slightly to show her respect.
Empress Yang ignored Luo Qingzhi, faced Gao Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged for this year's family banquet. Please take a look at it."
Queen Yang handed the order in her hand to Huang Si and handed it into Gao Yan's hand. Gao Yan took one look at it, frowned and asked, "Why is there no Princess An Ning in the seating arrangement?"
Empress Yang's heart was pounding, but her face remained calm as she replied: "This is the first time that the princess is celebrating the New Year in Beijing. It was my concubine who was negligent."
Gao Yan did not continue to question her, but ordered, "Princess An Ning's seat should be at the head of the left table."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly became uneasy. She was not close to her. She was just the daughter of a king with a different surname. The eldest princess was the emperor's sister, so she was closer to her. Even though she was a third-rank official, there were still second-rank ministers in the court. Such an arrangement would undoubtedly be a good thing.
She was brought to the forefront.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty!"
Luo Qingzhi and Queen Yang spoke at the same time and looked at each other. Luo Qingzhi paused and Queen Yang said: "Your Majesty, Princess Anning has worked hard to guard the border. However, there are rules for family banquets. Your Majesty, please think twice.
"
Gao Yan sneered and said, "The Queen, tell me, what are the rules of the family banquet?"
Yang said: "Although it is a family banquet, there are still distinctions between superiority and inferiority. The eldest princess is on top, and the princess cannot take the first place."
Gao Yan stood up, came to Yang, looked down at her slightly, nodded, and said: "The queen is right. The eldest princess will move to the right seat. What do you think?"
Yang continued: "The eldest princess is so noble that she should not be relegated to the right seat."
Luo Qingzhi watched the dispute between the two, and finally understood why the Queen Yang was always not favored. In fact, she should have been anxious to argue about such a matter, but the Queen had to bear the brunt of it and made a comment. The emperor gave him a step,
He is unwilling to give in, and will only be rejected in the end.
Gao Yan looked at Yang, but in the end he didn't say anything. He returned to his seat and said condescendingly, "Then, the queen can make her own arrangements."
Yang got the instruction and left Xianyang Hall.
Luo Qingzhi sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, it's just an ordinary family banquet. It's okay for the ministers to sit there. Why embarrass the Queen for such a thing."
Gao Yan said: "Could it be that, A Luo, you have forgotten how the Yang family treated you back then?"
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's silence, Gao Yan continued: "In the battle of Pengcheng, I clearly asked her father to lead troops to help you, but her father slowed down the march and asked you to defend Pengcheng alone." Gao Yan held his forehead with an expression on his face.
Painfully, he added: "If I hadn't been blinded, I wouldn't have dared to think about it. Ah Luo, I really wouldn't have dared to think about it..."
Luo Qingzhi still didn't answer. She recalled that five years ago, His Majesty did not punish General Yang, which made everyone in the army dissatisfied. General Yang just explained that "it is difficult to walk in the snow" and left the matter behind.
"A Luo, you, don't you hate me at all?" Gao Yan asked.
Luo Qingzhi touched the jade bracelet on her waist and said, "I don't hate it."
Gao Yan stared at Luo Qingzhi's eyes, trying to find out what was true and false, but Luo Qingzhi's eyes were firm and Gao Yan gave up.
"Arlo, ten years is too long after all. You are standing in front of me now, but I don't know what you are thinking."
Luo Qingzhi smiled slightly and said: "Whatever your Majesty wants to know, just ask me and I will answer it."
"...Do you hate me?" Gao Yan asked immediately.
"...don't hate."
For ten years in Yuzhou, the cold wind, biting frost and snow carved her character, but also dispelled Luo Qingzhi's daughter's thoughts.
Hate? Hate?
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Qingzhi's mind was filled with Gao Yan's expression when he asked this question, full of expectations and doubts, but without any regrets.
Gao Zhen just looked at Luo Qingzhi, who was frowning. Thinking of the voice he heard at the door of the palace just now, the emperor asked her who she liked.
Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes, and after a while, she actually fell asleep.
It was Luo Huaiyi in the dream. He blamed Luo Qingzhi for not protecting Gao Zhen properly and making him a commoner.
"Arlo, Arlo."
Gao Zhen shook Luo Qingzhi and woke her up from her dream.
Luo Qingzhi saw Gao Zhen as soon as she opened her eyes, and asked in a daze: "Do you still remember my father?"
Gao Zhen nodded and said: "Of course I remember, the emperor's uncle is very good to me. Every time he comes to the palace, he will bring me some gifts."
Luo Qingzhi asked again: "Father, have I ever told you anything?"
Gao Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Nothing special, just asking me to listen to the Master's words."
The carriage arrived at the Princess's Mansion, and the two got off the bus one after another.
Gao Yan followed Luo Qingzhi towards the study. Just after passing the courtyard, Luo Qingzhi turned around and said, "You go back to your room first, I will come find you later."
"......good."
Luo Qingzhi returned to the study, coughed three times, and Qin Shu rolled down from the eaves.
"master."
Qin Shu is different from Feng Zinan. Feng Zinan has been a retainer of the Luo family for generations, while Qin Shu was an orphan in the border war. He was rescued by Luo Qingzhi when he was ten years old. In order to repay his kindness, he stayed with Luo Qingzhi as a servant.
spy.
At the age of twenty, although his childishness has faded, he still has a naturally small and fair face, and is quite scholarly.
Luo Qingzhi said: "If Feng Zinan is away, you will take over the affairs in Beijing."
"Yes, Master."
Luo Qingzhi ordered, "Go and help me check Gao Zhen's life experience. Start with Zongzheng Temple, which is in charge of the Royal Gengtie. Mr. Liang, the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple, is the father of the king. You take my letter and he
I will help you."
Qin Shu said: "Yes, but why does the master suddenly want to check the former prince's life experience? Is it because he suspects that his bloodline is not correct?"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "That's not true. You can go check it out. Just think of it as me trying to find some fun in your leisurely life."
Qin Shu curled his lips and said, "Master, I'm free here. I practice martial arts every day and even endorse books."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Then you will be your master. I'm bored."
"You are the master, you have the final say." Qin Shu said and turned around.
"Tsk, there are no rules, I haven't finished speaking yet." Luo Qingzhi said.
Qin Shu turned around, saluted respectfully, and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Luo Qingzhi tilted her head, with an innocent look on her face, and said, "No, please step back."
Qin Shu snorted, cursed and left the study.
"Mr. Fan." Qin Shu called at the door.
Luo Qingzhi heard the noise and came to the door. Fan Li came quickly.
"Sir." Luo Qingzhi saluted.
Fan Li nodded and said, "General, I have something to discuss with you."
Luo Qingzhi welcomed Fan Li into the door. Fan Li turned around and closed the door. After waiting for a while, he said: "General, I just went to the street and saw a familiar person."
"Who? How can you, sir, do this to you?"
Fan Li said: "I wonder if the general still remembers Li Chu and General Li."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said: "My father's deputy general, General Li? The one who accompanied my father back then?"
"Yes." Fan Li nodded. Then, he continued: "Back then, we all thought he died in the palace coup, but I saw him today."
Luo Qingzhi said: "But are they similar? After all, His Majesty checked them before."
Fan Li shook his head and said, "I'm sure I didn't admit my mistake, because that person looked at me and ran away immediately."
The sudden strong wind blew the study door loudly.
Fan Li turned his head and looked at it, and said, "General, the wind is blowing."
Luo Qingzhi walked to the door of the room and opened it. The strong wind swept through her body and blew the fabric of her clothes. She walked to the corridor and said, "I will have someone investigate this matter. Sir, please be at ease and teach Luo Erlang well."
"
After Fan Li left, Luo Qingzhi sat alone in the study, looking at the signature "like a bird throwing a cage" in his hand, thinking about what happened since entering the capital. Concubine Shu died, and His Majesty's temperament changed drastically.
The dead suddenly appear again...
"Dong dong."
There was a knock on the door, and Luo Qingzhi reacted for a while before asking: "Who?"
"It's me."
Zhixin's voice came, and Luo Qingzhi said: "Come in."
Zhi Xin walked into the study room where the light was not turned on. Her eyes did not adjust for a moment, and she kicked something and said "Ouch".
Luo Qingzhi heard the noise and used a fire stick to light the oil lamp on the side. She got up and lit the light sources in the room one by one.
With the light coming, Zhixin walked to the desk, looked up and down first, then relaxed and said: "They said you locked yourself in the study and didn't see anyone. I thought you had a seizure, and you were there again."
Just bear it."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly thought that today was the day of the attack, but she didn't have any reaction at this time. She was also a little puzzled and asked: "I saw that the tachyon was almost gone, but I didn't have any reaction."
Zhi Xin took a breath and said, "I lied to you."
"What?" Luo Qingzhi was confused.
Zhixin explained and said: "Before, I told you that there is no antidote for zinnia. I lied to you. It only takes three attacks. Plus the medicine I gave you, the subsequent toxicity will be completely eliminated with your concentration."
It can be ignored."
Luo Qingzhi said "Hey", but she was still puzzled and asked: "Why did Erlang help you? You think about him so much."
Zhi Xin snorted a few times and said, "You are such a good person. I told you that Luo Erlang really likes you, and I am here to help you."
Luo Qingzhi frowned, as if she didn't want to discuss the matter, and asked: "Why did you come to me?"
Zhi Xin hesitated for a while, then said, "I have to go back to Yaowang Valley. My father has something important to ask me."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send a few people to escort you back."
"..." Zhixin took out a white porcelain bottle from her waist and said, "I have prepared all the other commonly used medicines and put them in your room. This is your remaining whooping incense antidote. Take it again."
In three to five days, the poison will be completely detoxified."
"Well, thank you." This chapter has been completed!
