The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Lu Shi was invited by Jing Zhaoyin. The Huo family is not far from the prime minister's residence, and she couldn't pretend not to know about the trouble.Today was originally Xiu Mu, and King Ning chose today because he wanted to make things bigger.

Huo Qi won't show up, he won't show up for these trivial matters, and King Ning provokes troubles, he feels that he is justified, Huo Erye doesn't know the truth, so naturally he wants to seek justice.

She is the only prince who can suppress him.

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't control the situation, neither of them was easy to offend, so he could only bite the bullet and invite her.When she arrived here, she saw Chu Ran who was watching the play with her head poking around, and she pulled him into the carriage, "Go back to the prime minister's mansion first, and the minister and King Ning will enter the palace first."

Chu Ran leaned over the car window to watch, but couldn't hear what Uncle Ning said, and saw Lu Xiang leading the people over, with his back straight and dignified silently.

The entrance of the alley was sealed by Lu Shi, and Jing Zhaoyin was asked to drive the pedestrians out. The neighborhood seemed empty. As soon as she passed by, Huo Er quickly approached: "Lu Xiang, you have to make the decision for me."

If Chu Ran was here, he would definitely sneer at him. He would treat Lu Xiang as if he had never seen him in the past, and bow his head today.

King Ning dismissed it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The big man is crying so much, you are not wronged, go, go, go, go and argue in front of His Majesty, don't let others think that this king is bullying the small."

Before Lu Shi said a word, King Ning pulled him face to face. Jing Zhaoyin didn't know what happened, but King Ning kept a low profile in the past, and he was full of confidence when he made such a fuss today. He tried to explain: "Arguing about these things I have to tell His Majesty, I'm afraid it will be bad."

King Ning waved his hand, "No, this king must face the saint today."

Huo Er was not afraid either. King Ning was the first to pick things up, so he was not afraid, so he agreed: "Go to see Your Majesty."

The two sides agreed, and Lu Shi didn't know how to persuade him, so he nodded and said, "It's okay."

Jing Zhaoyin felt that something was wrong, and King Ning was plausible. He was worried that Erye Huo would suffer, so he asked someone to report to Mr. Huo. He was stopped by King Ning's people as soon as he left the alley, and the people from Huo's family who went to report the letter also stopped him. down.

Lu Shi hardly spoke. After entering Zhang Huatai, he first expressed his opinion: "I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. It's better to listen to what King Ning has to say."

King Ning held the wine in his hand, and presented it to His Majesty first, "Your Majesty should know that my brother loves to drink, and the wine at sea is expensive, so I asked someone to buy some, and I got some wine from the sea a few days ago. I don't know what's wrong. It's abominable for someone to deceive and kidnap your younger brother."

Only then did Huo Er know the whole story, he saluted and explained to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, you can't just listen to King Ning's words."

"Er Huo, don't worry, I have someone to testify. Your people run fast, and I have a countermeasure. I have prepared the confession for you. Don't deny it." King Ning had already prepared the testimony in his arms. , and all the captured people were taken to the temple.

He was well prepared and waited for Huo Er to fall into the pit.

After careful cross-examination, Emperor Chu didn't know what to say, but turned to Lu Shi: "Lu Xiang, what do you think should be done?"

Lu Shi understood the law of Chu, so he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Put it according to the law, and you should be exiled."

Huo Er's forehead was buzzing, and he kowtowed to plead: "Your Majesty, this matter is all done by my subordinates and has nothing to do with me..."

King Ning felt sorry for his last bottle of wine, stared at it for a while, sighed, and when he heard Huo Er's rebuttal, he said: "That's because you are not strict in supervision."

Emperor Chu waved his hand at him, signaling him not to speak. After weighing the situation, it is well known that the Huo family has been in business for a hundred years, and he supports King Heng.Hengwang's extravagant spending on weekdays also has a source. He is bound to hit one or two, and ordered: "Shut up in the Ministry of Punishment and deal with it according to the law."

Consistent with what Lu Shi thought, His Majesty was also slightly dissatisfied with the Huo family, she bowed and then retreated, and when she left the palace, King Ning followed, "Lu Xiang, what is the discord between you and Xiao Xinping?"

After the affairs in his own mansion were settled satisfactorily, he began to take care of other people's affairs.Lu Shi didn't answer, he stopped and said, "Your highness has been neglected, I will pick her up today."

King Ning was very satisfied, and forgot most of the swearing that day, and said with satisfaction: "Chu Ran has a good temper, you should give way when things happen, after all, she is seven or eight years older than her, and you always encounter more things than her, don't worry." Forget what the queen said back then."

Lu Shi leaned over and agreed, watching King Ning ride away on horseback.

The Huo family was personally punished by His Majesty, and the business would inevitably be affected, especially when Second Master Huo was exiled, no one would take over the business.

When the news spread to the East Palace, the Crown Prince was discussing business with Zhou Wenyi. He was startled when he heard it, and then he heard Elder Zhou sigh: "Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with the Huo family. Killing chickens to scare monkeys is considered retribution."

The prince's deep eyes were full of other emotions, and he put down the map in his hand, "The second wife of the Huo family is exiled, Mr. Huo is bound to make a difference on the way."

Zhou Wenyi just acted as if he had never heard of it, and the prince's ruthless attack was not the first day. After the death of the second master of the Huo family, most of the Huo family's economic lifeline would be cut off. If it affects the whole body, King Heng will also be affected.

*****

A few days later, Lu Shi went to the Princess Mansion to invite someone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon.

Xinyang lived in the princess mansion and hadn't left yet, waiting for the wine. After hearing the rumors outside, he was quite surprised, and said: "The wine on the sea is better than the wine made on land?"

"You'll know after you try it yourself." It's not easy for Chu Ran to explain too much to her. The Huo family's foundation has not been touched, but most of the business has been lost. She also feels very comfortable in her heart.

Xinyang's dark eyeballs moved, and they moved close to Chu Ran's eyes: "Sister, do you have any good wine? Can you give me a taste?"

"No, I gave it all to Uncle Ning, and the last bottle was also handed over to His Majesty as evidence, and there is no drop left." Chu Ran was careless, and Lu Xiang asked her to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she went back to the Princess Mansion, thinking whether to stay in the palace or not. Return to Xiangfu before dinner.

She was suspicious, but Xinyang sighed greatly, lamenting that he didn't taste good wine, and after sighing a few times, he comforted himself: "It's okay, there is Lu Xiang's wine, I like Lu Xiang's wine."

When Chu Ran heard this, he grabbed her by the ear and threatened, "It's okay to like Lu Xiang's wine, but not for others, do you understand?"

"Got it, got it, my ear hurts." Xinyang was so frightened that he nodded again and again, he didn't dare to mention the wine he likes with Lu Xiang, and his ears would be pulled if he missed it.

The two chattered for a while, and the maid came over with several jars of wine, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Xinyang immediately jumped up, "Lu Xiang is so fast, he has brought the wine."

Chu Ran joked: "How do you know that Lu Shi sent it to you?"

"It feels like Lu Xiang did what he said." Xinyang couldn't put it down, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then sent someone back to his princess mansion. He subconsciously felt that Lu Xiang was here to pick up sister back to the prime minister's mansion, so he ordered the maid: "Bring the wine back to the mansion. , we're going back too."

Chu Ran didn't want to stay, worried that the Zhou family would embarrass her: "You send someone back to the Zhou mansion to invite the second young master to live in the princess mansion, if you really can't go there by yourself. Even if you don't want to, you have to do enough, understand? "

People's words are terrifying, and everything is difficult, especially the second wife of the Zhou family is a gossip woman, she is not polite, and she can gossip behind her back.

Xinyang nodded, "Understood, Auntie is free to go and play in the house."

"Okay, go back to the house and pay attention. When things don't make sense, someone will send me a letter." Chu Ran was worried. Xinyang's temper was only suitable for being held in the palm of Ming Concubine. Her heart was sinister, but she was kind. There will always be some losses.

Xinyang went back to the yard to pack her luggage, and the maid led Lu Shi over. She was wearing a blue dress today, which was extremely elegant.

Chu Ran opened her eyelids, and the person was already in front of her eyes. She first explained: "There is still Xinyang in the mansion, so it's not good to leave her alone, so I will come back."

The story of King Ning's smashing of the shop was known to almost the whole city, and Huo Qi was half a step too late and lost a son.There are many heirs in the Huo family, and there are only a few capable ones. Although Huo Er did not enter the court, he is well-known in Yingdu City. He was beaten to shame by King Ning, and now he is exiled.

Chu Ran sat leaning on the couch, the room was cool and she didn't feel hot, she just stared at Lu Xiang with bright eyes.This matter seemed to be facilitated by Uncle Ning himself, but the key point was done by Lu Shi.

Lu Shi made her look uncomfortable, stretched out his hand to smooth her hair on the sideburns, and said softly: "It's better to wait until dusk to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will be cooler then."

"Lu Xiang isn't busy today?" Chu Ran was surprised, last time he sat for a while but then left and hurried back to the office, and today he had to wait until dusk.

Lu Shi glanced at the room, and there was a bed behind the screen. She felt a little tired. She has been so busy working with King Ning that she rarely slept well. "It's early, let's rest first. Your Highness can send Princess Xinyang out of the mansion."

The voice was full of exhaustion. Chu Ran asked her and looked at her expression. There was an unconcealable tiredness in her brows and eyes. She felt a little bit in her heart, and hurriedly got up and said, "Then you rest, I won't disturb you."

She was flustered, which made Lu Shi feel a little warm, and pulled her and said, "Your Highness, don't panic. If you don't want to send Princess Xinyang off, why don't you go to bed together."

Chu Ran fell asleep in the middle of the night last night. She was worried about things and couldn't sleep. She felt a little sleepy when she said that, so she agreed: "Alright, then I'll make the bed."

Lu Shi followed her in, and lay down with her in his arms. The afternoon passed quickly, but Huo Qi waited for a long time at Zhang Huatai, and the servant tried to persuade her several times, but it was useless.

Huo Qi is the head of the state, and the servants dare not offend him, so he basks in the sun with him. The sun is extremely hot in the afternoon, and the heat is unstoppable. He kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, "Old Huo, Your Majesty is taking a nap, you can't wait like this." It's not a solution, and the whole city knows about it, if you wait like this, His Majesty will be hard to be a man, so it's better to hurry up and arrange the itinerary on the second master's road."

"This matter is that King Ning set up the Huo family. It is absurd to think that the Huo family is bullying the market and cheating with just a few bottles of wine." Huo Qi's face was flushed red, and he was unwilling to give up the last chance.

Not far away, the prince was standing on the porch, followed by Ah Nan, neither of them approached, and no one noticed.The prince's face was pale, he put his hand to his lips and coughed a few times, Ah Nan immediately became nervous.

"Your Highness, it's very hot outside, why don't you go back to the East Palace."

"It's nothing, I just came to see Huo Qi's jokes. Now he has no time to block the matter with Song Tongshang. This matter does not seem to be a big deal, and it will do a lot of damage to the Huo family." The prince looked at the people under the scorching sun coldly. When I grew up, the Huo family was glamorous, and the queen almost made my sister suffocate.

That's all, the Queen coaxed Ling Yi to compete with Sister Lu for Prime Minister Lu, and taught her to be shameless.Even if the two of them were at odds, Lu Xiang could only belong to Sister, and no one else could covet her.

After staring at him for a long time, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he took Ah Nan back to the East Palace after a while.

****

Emperor Chu was more and more afraid of the heat, so he went to the palace to escape the heat before the prince's birthday, and the prince's birthday banquet was held in the palace.

Lu Shi still stayed in the city, regardless of what other people thought, he also kept Chu Ran, and at the beginning of July, someone sent a birthday gift to the East Palace, and he could see it when the prince came back.

Concubine Ming was not feeling well, so she also stayed in the palace. After Yujia left the city gate, she used the illness as an excuse to hide it from everyone, and asked people to bring Xinyang into the palace. No one cared.

On the day of Princess Xinping's birthday, Concubine Xian held a banquet in the palace and invited the prime minister and the princess to the palace for the banquet. The queen seemed to be forgotten and no one thought of it. There were no dancers at the banquet, only some small games were played.

Concubine Xian's third prince is now 11 years old. Because of his studies, he did not go to the palace with him. Concubine Xian always wanted him to worship Prime Minister Lu as his tutor, but every time he asked, he was rejected. Concubine Xian has no ambitions. She only wants children Just go to the fief smoothly.

Xinyang brought up playing pitching pots, and wanted to take sister to play, but remembered that she was excellent at it, so he stepped back half a step, and when he was about to give up, Concubine Xian whispered a few words in her ear, her eyes lit up, and said: "Ah! Sis, it's your birthday today, I'm pulling you to play, if you win, and others say I bully you, how about letting Lu Xiang play?"

Concubine Ming pretended to be sick, so naturally she didn't like drinking alcohol, so she took a sip of her tea and said, "It's okay, if Lu Xiangruo loses, the princess will be fined to drink, how about that?"

Chu Ran was holding the wine cup, the corners of her lips were stained with liquid like dandelion. She didn't know what people meant, but after a little hesitation, she heard Concubine Xian echoed: "The gameplay is unique, it depends on whether Lu Xiang agrees or not."

In this way, Lu Shiruo's refusal is a disappointment. She looked at the joy in Xinyang's eyebrows, touched the back of Chu Ran's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Go back to the house, I will carry you."

Chu Ran couldn't understand what she said, why did she carry her back?

There were also quite a few people at the banquet. The third prince stood behind Xinyang as a minor. He was not big. He pointed to the palace servants and asked them to set up the throwing pot and personally took the arrow to Prime Minister Lu.

Lu Shi couldn't get off the tiger, stood in the hall, looked at Chu Ran and said, "It's my first time playing, Your Highness, do you want some advice?"

"What?" Chu Ran was startled, Lu Xiang seemed serious, only she knew the surface of her deceiving the world, such an unscrupulous person had never touched this?

How could she believe it, and questioned: "Lu Xiang lied to me?"

Lu Shi smiled bitterly, his eyebrows and eyes were condensed: "If the minister knows how, how could Princess Xinyang set up this situation?"

The three of them just wanted to get Chu Ran drunk. Chu Ran didn't know, but Lu Shi knew about it when Xinyang spoke, but she was disappointed if she refused, and it's not good to reject people thousands of miles away on a happy day.

Chu Ran suddenly understood, patted the table and said, "I'll just come and play."

"Elder Sister is playing tricks, you see Lu Xiang has agreed." Xinyang held the arrow in his hand and compared it with the mouth of the pot, "Comparing with Elder Sister is like throwing yourself into a trap."

"Look, Xinyang is so stupid as to tell the truth." Concubine Ming smiled gently, her eyes were as gentle as moonlight, she first looked at Chu Ran who was gnashing her teeth, and then dared to look at Xinyang.

After Xinyang set up her own princess mansion, her mood improved a lot, and her little face became round and carefree.Concubine Ming didn't dare to look too much, she moved away after one glance, as if the tenderness just now was just an ordinary emotion.

Chu Ran was distressed, and really wanted to mention a few words to Lu Xiang, but how could she understand her words when it was first involved, she said helplessly: "Lu Xiang, how many times can you put in ten sticks?"

"I don't know." Lu Shi said lightly, she never said things that she was not sure about.

Chu Ran had no hope at all. Looking at the ten glasses of wine brought in by the palace man, he suddenly asked, "Xinyang, how about you lose?"

"I lost..." Xinyang didn't seem to think that he would lose. When asked by his elder sister, he was at a loss for words. You must eat flower candies."

After finishing speaking, everyone in the palace leaned forward and backward with laughter, Concubine Ming was the worst, she smiled so hard that the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, she nodded and said: "It should be the same."

Xinyang stared at her angrily, Ah Ruan had become bad, so he didn't feel sorry for her.In front of everyone, she snorted lightly, and said: "Ten glasses of wine, sister is just waiting to drink."

Chu Ran shook her head, "Don't talk big, show it to Lu Xiang first, she is very smart, she may not lose."

"Sister, do you really believe in Lu Xiang?" Xinyang began to sarcastically, she didn't want to demonstrate to Lu Xiang, and as soon as she finished speaking, the arrow was thrown into it.

Lu Shi regretted, and said, "I haven't seen it clearly yet."

"I'll let you see clearly, I'll lose. Sister is just drunk, I'm Sanyue's flower candy child, if you want to blame, blame Lu Xiang himself for not letting me eat candy in March." Xinyang muttered , Lu Xiang is pinching her vitals.

She was nagging, and Lu Xiang threw it out without any hassle. She threw the pot, but her posture seemed to be throwing stones into the lake, which made Chu Ran angrily remind her: "Can Prime Minister be more serious?"

Concubine Xian hugged the Third Prince with a smile, and couldn't help but look at the helpless two people in the palace, "President Lu probably wanted to take this opportunity to play tricks on Xinping, and all the grievances he suffered in the past have been let go today."

No matter how concubine Xian made jokes, Xinyang happily brought the wine to Chu Ran, "Sister, drink quickly, there is more, don't waste time."

Lu Shi didn't turn around, as if he was studying how to cast, she suddenly became serious, which made Chu Ran look forward to it, and raised his glass and said: "Lu Xiang, you just win a round, and let her not eat for three months." Sugar will do."

Concubine Ming reminded Xinyang at the right time: "Xinyang should hurry up, don't give Prime Minister Lu time."

The foolish person realized that, before Chu Ran finished drinking, he ran back and voted for the second ball. She was boring when she was young, and she played alone in the palace for a long time. Although she is not as good as Sister, she can win Lu Xiang.

I don't know if Lu Shi did it on purpose, but every time it was a little bit worse, Chu Ran said helplessly after drinking a few cups: "No need to compare, Lu Xiang is going to save face in the palace today, I'll just drink it all at once .”

Lu Shi disagreed, "I will try again."

Chu Ran was so angry, "Could it be possible for Lu Xiang to turn into a splash?"

"If you win a round, let His Highness Xinyang not eat sugar for three months." Lu Shi repeated Chu Ran's words, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he turned to look at Xinyang. Xinyang raised his arm and was caught When she saw it, she shook her arm, and the arrow was thrown out, missing.

The hopeless Chu Ran clapped her hands and looked at Lu Shi suspiciously: "Can you, Prime Minister Lu?"

Xinyang is not afraid, "It's a big deal." Lu Xiang has no foundation, and he is not afraid of her throwing in.Thinking of this, Lu Xiang's arrow flew through the air and was thrown straight into the mouth of the pot. She was dumbfounded.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Concubine Ming was also taken aback, is Lu Xiang smart or clumsy?

The happiest thing was Chu Ran. She felt angry in her heart, and waved her small hand: "Xinyang, karma, I will send someone to watch you when I return home."

With a downcast face, Xinyang looked at the arrow in the mouth of the pot, displeased, and muttered: "Lu Xiang is a quick learner."

When she thought that Lu Xiang was about to make a comeback, but none of the arrows were thrown in, she secretly thought that she was overthinking, Lu Xiang was just a mistake, how could anyone learn so quickly.When she remembered that she could not eat candy for three months, she regretted in her heart, and looked at Ah Ruan carefully, hoping that she could find a way.

Chu Ran in that room was slightly drunk, and became even more drunk after being toasted by Concubine Ming for a few glasses of wine. Concubine Ming replaced wine with tea, but after drinking three cups of clear tea, Chu Ran didn't think too much, and Lu Shi refused for her. other people's wine.

Concubine Ming is also a stingy person. Xinyang caused trouble by herself, but she held grudges on Chu Ran.Regardless of what she thought, Lu Shi helped Chu Ran out of the palace, and asked Xinyang to leave the palace together.

Concubine Ming regretted that she would not have calculated Xinping like this if she had known earlier, and Prime Minister Lu was not generous.
