Chapter 137 Boat Banquet

After the conversation in the medicine garden, Lu You went to look for Ye Yueshan in Linshuang Palace.Tell her about your choice with Swiss Franc.

Ye Yueshan was naturally extremely happy.However, because she never mentioned the sibling relationship with Lu You to Zhao Jing, it was inconvenient to send a message directly at this moment, and begged Lu You to take the initiative to show affection to Zhao Jing.

Lu You couldn't bear this face to find Zhao Jing, but Tang Ruilang set up a cruise ship on the Quehua Pond on a certain day, and set up an elegant room on the boat to invite Lu You and Zhao Jing to meet.

This was the first time Lu You met Zhao Jing since the farewell to the paddock on the outskirts of Liuquan City.Kang Wang, who was always cynical in his memory, seemed to have lost his disguise at this moment, and the hypocritical smile no longer hung on his face.

The three of them are very smart people, so they saved a lot of useless temptations and maneuvers, and quickly put the most core interests on the table, except that they did not mention the ghost army witch doctor and the clan's poison Things.

Then Zhao Jing was also very happy, and immediately admitted that Jiang Qiguang was indeed his own, and the Xiao family had already agreed, willing to join hands with him to pull Zhao Yun from the crown prince.

"Right now, seeing that the father's health is improving day by day, the right to supervise the country may be withdrawn at any time. After the Pingkangfang Rebellion, the Xiao family broke with him completely, and there are 'rumors' about Zhao Yang's death anytime, anywhere. It is possible to hear the news at any moment. If I were him, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep or eat in the past few days."

Having said that, Zhao Jing held the wine cup in his hand and lightly bumped the table.

"Just such a self-willed idiot, no one would expect him to achieve great things, right? If it weren't for the blood of a legitimate son, who would care about a lunatic like him?"

Tang Ruilang offered a toast to Zhao Jing, and said in harmony, "The crown prince is unpopular, and it didn't happen overnight. If it takes time, the emperor should see his true face clearly sooner or later."

Zhao Jing drank it all down with him, and said with a smile, "I just hope it's not too late."

Lu You had been quietly watching the two of them chatting about wine, and suddenly interrupted a word.

"Since that's the case... Then I dare to ask Your Highness, if you inherit the Great Tranquility in the future, have you ever thought about what kind of emperor you will be?"

Zhao Jing has always been very interested in him, and at this moment he immediately put down his wine glass and looked at him with a smile.

"Now I can say something impassioned to you, promising to become the most wise sage emperor since the founding of the country. But in reality? Everyone knows that the Daning Dynasty has come to the present, and the three feet of ice are not the same. With the merits of the day, serious ailments and persistent diseases cannot be cured overnight."

Speaking of this, he put more emphasis on his tone: "I can only say that I will do my best to change the current situation in Daning. The so-called doing everything possible and keeping the destiny, that's all."

"Do your best, and follow the destiny."

Lu You gently repeated these six words, but his expression did not change at all.

"Then allow me to ask Your Highness again—is the tragedy in Pingkangfang also a 'personnel affair'?"

Zhao Jing frowned, and then realized: "I have absolutely nothing to do with the matter of Pingkangfang. But judging by Jiang Qiguang's personality, it is indeed very likely that he will do something that incites the flames."

Speaking of this, he felt emotional: "Jiang Qiguang's benefactor is my grandfather's protégé. I heard that he was underappreciated when he was young, and he was very cynical, so his personality is also a bit cold and eccentric. But now I really have no talents to use... ...Swiss Lang, you all need to help my brother-in-law a lot in the future."

Tang Ruilang made a false reply, and took another peek at Lu You.Lu You ignored him, just lowered his head and poked the tofu in the bowl.

But Zhao Jing took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Lu You: "I heard that Lord Changqiu has been busy in Liuquan City recently, I don't know how it is going."

Lu You thanked him for the wine, and said calmly: "Those who were arrested were very stubborn, and their bodies were full of Gu poison. They died one by one within a few days of interrogation. The remaining two witch doctors, one committed suicide by taking poison, and the other The one who doesn't understand Daning official language, talks about it all day long, and it is said that there is a Gu in his body, so I don't know how long he will live."

Zhao Kyung groaned and continued drinking.The three of them were silent for a whole while, during which Tang Ruilang silently served Lu You food.

Zhao Jing stared at the pile of vegetables piled up like a hill in front of Lu You, and sighed meaningfully: "You two have such a good relationship."

"Of course." Tang Ruilang spoke boldly, stretched out his hand and patted Lu You's shoulder, "My brother is a life-threatening friendship. If he didn't sacrifice his life to save me, I would have given my life to Liuquan City long ago. This Kindness, how can I repay two or three chicken legs? Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

As he said that, he threw another piece of roast meat into Lu You's bowl.

Lu You pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact his hair was blown inside.He pretended to pick up something, sneaked his left hand under the table, and gently twisted Tang Ruilang's inner thigh.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ruilang became more and more trembling, he simply clamped his legs and shrugged, and clamped Lu You's hand on the base of his thigh.

Lu You touched the "something that shouldn't be touched" abruptly, his palm trembled, but he quickly calmed down, and stretched out his finger to flick it vigorously.

The two were secretly competing, so Zhao Jing drank another glass of wine and asked suddenly: "I heard that the mother-in-law is looking for a wife for you?"

As soon as these words came out, both Lu You and Tang Ruilang were taken aback.Lu You naturally didn't reveal anything on the surface, but quickly withdrew his hand.

Tang Ruilang quickly smoothed things over; "Isn't it not long since I became the servant of the Huangmen? The ancients said that becoming famous and starting a family, and becoming famous comes before starting a family. There is no rush for this kind of thing."

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "You still think of yourself as a scholar in the Hongwen Library? When my brother-in-law was your age, he had already eaten meat, how about you?"

Tang Ruilang also smiled at him: "But brother-in-law didn't marry sister until he was 21?"

"Hey, this and that are totally different things. Men, there is always someone who plays around. Besides, some things can't be held back, and it's a good thing to vent." Zhao Jing patted the back of Tang Ruilang's hand, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, Later, brother-in-law will take you to learn more?"

At this time, Lu You laughed and said: "The two of you are discussing the matter of looking for flowers and asking willows here, it's really embarrassing for me."

Zhao Jing didn't take it seriously: "Oh, what's so embarrassing about Shaojian Lu. There are quite a few people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who come and go to Pingkangfang. Besides, the front can't work, isn't there a back..."

"Cough cough..."

Tang Ruilang hurriedly intervened to smooth things over: "The overall situation is at hand, so let's talk about these romantic matters later."

Zhao Jing didn't insist on it, and just let it go with a smile.The three of them still talked about getting back to the serious business, and chatted for a while before enjoying themselves.

After the host and guest abandoned the ship and landed, Rui Lang and Lu Yougong sent Zhao Jing away.

It wasn't until it was too far to see that Lu You let out a long breath and said heavily: "He is doubting our relationship."

"So what?" Tang Ruilang put his arms around his waist, "One day we will know. Just like today, who doesn't know that King Anle and Duke Changqiu are a couple?"

"They are them, and we are us." Lu You disagreed, "Besides, I don't want us to become like them."

"Yes, yes," Tang Ruilang responded repeatedly, "We will never separate."

"How dare you say that? Isn't your mother looking for a wife for you?"

Tang Ruilang made a statement of innocence: "My mother is my mother, and I am me. The daughter-in-law she likes, of course, she should marry herself, it has nothing to do with me."

"But if you are an official in the court, naturally many people will come over to have relatives. If you should marry or not, wouldn't you be offended?"

"So what if you offend me? Do I look like the kind of cowardly person? Besides, if you're afraid of offending others, why not just try to make yourself so that no one can afford to offend you?"

"... Seriously?" Lu You stared into Tang Ruilang's eyes.

"Of course it is true." Tang Ruilang almost swore.

Lu You stared at him for a while, and the corners of her tight lips finally curved slightly.

"You said this yourself. If you dare to marry a wife and have children in the future, no... even if you think about it, I will definitely take revenge on you and let you know how powerful I am."

"No, I know now that Master Lu is very powerful."

Tang Ruilang pretended to be scared, but he couldn't help smiling: "Okay, let's talk about something serious——Zhao Jing, what do you think?"

Lu You turned his eyes to the north: "It's unbelievable, but you have to believe it. Frivolous and scheming, clever but cunning. But those few words about governing the country are honest... At present, it seems that there is no one other than him. Other options."

"Yeah...there is no other choice." Tang Ruilang also looked in the same direction as him, "If Zhao Jing is useless, and King An Le never returns, it will be a matter of time before the Great Ning Dynasty changes course."
