After the Que Lou banquet, Gao Zhen was taught by Fan Li and others in turn. Even Luo Qingzhi had not seen him for several days. When she wanted to see the training results, she was blocked from outside. He said that he wanted to give her a surprise.
, she had no choice but to give up.
Luo Qingrou had also been embroidering her wedding dress in the yard. For a while, in the princess's mansion, there was no one who could talk.
Luo Qingzhi thought that she could just go and see Qingshan Jun, so she came to his yard.
His good-looking face and friendly demeanor made him popular among the servants of the princess's mansion. When she walked into the courtyard, Mr. Qingshan didn't know what he said, and the maidservant beside her covered her face and laughed.
It wasn't until she entered the courtyard that the maid noticed her and hurriedly saluted, "Good morning, Princess."
Lord Qingshan also saluted, but with a sense of grievance and did not look at Luo Qingzhi at all.
Luo Qingzhi asked the others to retreat, came to the courtyard, and said: "Master Qingshan, please take a seat."
Qingshan Jun just sat down, glanced at Luo Qingzhi, lowered his eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In the past few days, I always wanted to see the princess, but I was always stopped, saying that you were still sick.
Now that I see you are fine, I feel relieved."
Luo Qingzhi thought about his words, but did not want to go into details. She just said lightly: "There have been a lot of things in the past few days, and I only have time to come to you today."
Seeing that Luo Qingzhi didn't want to pursue the matter of being stopped, Qingshan Jun felt a little timid. Luo Qingzhi stopped talking and asked directly: "I have a few questions to ask you."
"Princess, please ask." Qingshan Jun said.
"How did you meet General Li Chu?"
Qingshan Jun replied: "About eight years ago, I was bullied by a customer in Mingfeng Tower. He saved me, so I begged Mother Fan to let him work as a handyman in the building."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and continued to ask: "Do you know who the person who assassinated you was?"
Qingshan Jun shook his head, "I don't know, but that person said something at that time."
"What words?"
Qingshan Jun thought about it and said, "You touched someone you shouldn't touch."
Luo Qingzhi originally thought that the person who assassinated Qingshan Jun was because of Li Chu, but from this point of view, it seemed not to be the case. Then, she looked at Qingshan Jun and asked: "So, what are your plans next?"
"..."
Qingshan Jun hesitated for a while and then said slowly: "I know that the princess wants to recruit a son-in-law. I know that I am not qualified, but I still have delusional thoughts. I hope that the princess can accept me. In the future, I
I must serve the princess and the princess well."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Luo Qingzhi, with tears still in his eyes, but Luo Qingzhi was not moved at all. At this time, he remembered the way Gao Zhen looked at her, and she understood that the Qingshan Jun in front of her was...
There is no love like what he said.
Luo Qingzhi said: "I am not that patient. I see that you are quite good at dressing up. I have a shop in Ningzhou with a good location. If you are willing, I will send you there and give you some money."
With the money you use to open a shop, you can live a peaceful life."
Qingshan Jun was a little moved, but he still tried again, "The princess is really affectionate towards Mr. Luo."
Luo Qingzhi said: "I like to talk to smart people. If you still don't understand, then this conversation will be the last time." After saying that, she stood up.
Qingshan Jun immediately said, "Princess, please, please wait a moment."
Luo Qingzhi stopped and asked: "Master, think carefully about what kind of life you want to live."
Qingshan Jun knelt down, this time, Luo Qingzhi did not stop him.
"I have been abandoned outside Mingfeng Tower since I was a child. I grew up in a romantic place. I am used to seeing people speaking inconsistently and scheming... To be honest, I think the princess may have wanted to save me.
He sent me to that powerful man to help you find out the news, so I was anxious to ask you to accept me." Qingshan Jun said.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I have never thought of it this way."
Qingshan Jun continued: "Even if you tell me this now, I still don't fully believe it in my heart..."
After listening to Qingshan Jun's words, Luo Qingzhi suddenly began to reflect on herself. It seemed that she was also such a person. Although Gao Zhen had expressed his love for her many times, she did not completely believe it...
"I am willing to go to Ningzhou, Your Highness."
On the second day, Luo Qingzhi sent someone to send Qingshan Jun to Ningzhou, and the post about the royal family banquet was also sent to the princess's mansion.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaonian, there was a family banquet in the palace.
Luo Qingzhi and Luo Qingrou entered the palace for a banquet, with Luo Chen accompanying them.
This family banquet was hosted by the queen. After all, Luo Qingzhi's seat was still on the right, with Luo Qingrou sitting at the bottom.
The eldest princess sat at the head table on the left, looking at Luo Qingzhi with her wine glass in her hands and smiling. Luo Qingzhi raised her wine glass in return and took a sip.
The Gao family had very few heirs, and only a few people attended the family banquet. In addition to the eldest princess, there was also an elder sitting at the second seat on the left, whom Luo Qingzhi had never seen before.
Gao Yan raised his glass and said, "Today is a family banquet. All of us here are relatives, so there is no need to detain us."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
The elder at the second table began to speak, "Brother-in-law? Your Majesty is probably joking."
Gao Yan asked: "Cousin, do you think there is something wrong?"
Queen Yang took advantage of the situation and answered, "I wonder if my concubine is not doing a good job. Mrs. Laiyang King can tell me directly."
Mrs. King Laiyang said: "Everyone here is a member of the Gao family. What is the purpose of the Luo family?"
Luo Qingzhi had thought that this woman was targeting her, but she didn't expect that she would say so directly and she remained silent.
Queen Yang smiled and explained, "The princess of the Luo family is the daughter of King Pingbei, so of course she is a relative."
Mrs. King Laiyang continued to attack, "King Pingbei? They are just sworn brothers. There are many twists and turns."
Gao Yan laughed, his eyes suddenly fierce, and said softly: "Princess Anning was invited by me. It seems that Mrs. Prince Laiyang is dissatisfied with me."
The change of Gao Yan's title already made Mrs. Laiyang Wang's hands feel cold, but she always thought that she was an elder and did not want to lower her attitude at all. She just said lightly: "I don't mean that."
"What does Madam mean?" Gao Yan asked.
Mrs. King Laiyang did not expect that Gao Yan would ask further questions. She looked at the queen, who spoke out to save her.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has prepared songs and dances for the family banquet and is already waiting outside the palace. Why don't you call her in?"
Gao Yan said "Yeah", which was considered as giving each other this step.
Dancers came in droves, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, graceful and moving, and the dancer in the lead had the best posture. Suddenly, the dance changed from the red silk dance to the sword dance.
The drums became louder and louder, and the sword moves became more fierce. The drums stopped, but the leading dancer did not stop, and the sword edge came towards Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi turned her head to avoid the first blow. Luo Chen, who was behind him, drew his sword and subdued the dancer in an instant.
Seeing the situation, the dancer wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.
"Luochen."
The woman was rescued, but she stared at Luo Qingzhi fiercely and said, "If I lose today, someone else will come to take your life in the future."
Luo Qingzhi was confused, while Gao Yan was already angry.
"Bring it here, I want to see who wants to kill the princess."
The woman was escorted to the front by the Forbidden Army. Gao Yan angrily shouted, "Who sent you here?"
The woman snorted coldly and had no intention of speaking.
"Yuan Ying."
"I'm here."
Gao Yan said one after another, "Take him down and interrogate him personally."
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the woman, who seemed to be younger than Luo Qingrou, and said: "Your Majesty, since you are the one who assassinated me, why don't you let me take her back and interrogate her personally."
"...I agree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The incident of the assassination suddenly lost the atmosphere of the family dinner. Empress Yang was a little worried, "I didn't check it, and let the assassin sneak in. Your Majesty, please punish me."
Gao Yan seemed not to have heard anything and did not answer for a long time. The atmosphere at the family dinner became a bit colder.
Luo Qingzhi sighed in her heart and finally said, "Your Majesty, the dancers are all from outside the palace. They should have taken advantage of the chaos and changed their bodies with the original dancers to come in. The Queen cannot know everyone."
With Luo Qingzhi pleading for mercy and others at the banquet also echoing a few words, Gao Yancai said coldly: "Then forget it."
Empress Yang saluted and thanked her. Gao Yan said, "It's time for the empress to thank the princess."
Seeing Queen Yang approaching step by step, Luo Qingzhi turned her head and glanced at Luo Qingrou.
Luo Qingrou immediately stroked her forehead and frowned tightly.
Luo Qingzhi stepped forward and asked, "Arou, what's wrong?"
"I have a headache." Luo Qingrou said softly.
Luo Qingzhi was very panicked and said to Gao Yan: "Your Majesty, Arou is in good health. I'm afraid she may catch a cold again. Please allow me to leave first."
Gao Yan nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Queen Yang looked at Luo Qingzhi's leaving figure and was not grateful at all for her so-called rescue. Instead, she clenched her fists and showed hatred.
As soon as Luo Qingzhi left, Gao Yan waved his hand and said: "I still have state affairs to deal with, so let's stop here today."
"yes."
Gao Yan also left, and the remaining people had different thoughts. Mrs. Laiyang came to the queen to say goodbye, and she was even more dissatisfied in her words, "The family banquet that is held every year is different this year. It seems to be just for Luo Qingzhi.
, as soon as she leaves, we all have to leave, hum."
Empress Yang said with a smile: "Cousin, please don't say that. It's not good for others to hear it."
Mrs. King Laiyang snorted coldly and left the banquet.
The people attending the banquet left one after another, but Queen Yang and the eldest princess came together.
"I just said that Luo Qingzhi will definitely save that woman." Queen Yang said.
The eldest princess said: "How do you know she will definitely save her?"
Empress Yang snorted coldly, with a hint of ridicule, "This is what Luo Qingzhi is like. She always wants to be a good person. She will take action no matter what when she sees someone as old as her sister."
The eldest princess lowered her voice, "I'm afraid it would be bad if His Majesty discovered what we were doing."
Queen Yang looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Then, Your Highness, do you really want to get the position of Anning County Horse?"
The eldest princess said "Hey" and asked: "Is that woman reliable?"
"Of course," Queen Yang confirmed, "Her whole family is in my hands, and she dare not disobey."
