The Road of the Queen

Liu Zihuan came to an abandoned temple outside the city, and before he stepped forward to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.

The one who opened the door was Qiaoer, the maid of Zheng Landie, daughter of Zheng Guogong's family. Qiaoer saw Liu Zihuan and pulled him into the door.Liu Zihuan was pulled to a corner by Qiaoer, Qiaoer said anxiously: "You are here, Mr. Liu, Qiaoer has been waiting for you for a long time."

A few days ago, Liu Zihuan had received Zheng Landie's private letter from the palace, but because Yin Liulang didn't let go, he kept delaying seeing Qiaoer.That Yin Yuting came to his Jinglinyuan suddenly last night, the matter was finally settled, and he invited Qiaoer to come to this secluded temple.

Liu Zihuan also pretended to be anxious: "How is Miss Zheng?"

Qiaoer stomped her feet and punched Liu Zihuan's chest with her powder fist: "Do you still remember my lady? Hmph, she is almost blind from crying because of you. My master grabbed his eyebrows and beard anxiously, as long as the lady nods, my master will go Find his emperor's brother-in-law, and when the time comes, I'll give you an order to see if you regret it or not!"

Liu Zihuan covered his face with his sleeves: "What a coincidence, tell me what happened to Miss Zheng?"

"Hey..." Qiao'er sighed: "What else can I do, just procrastinate for a day, anyway, I just don't nod, I look forward to you, Mr. Liu."

Liu Zihuan rolled his eyes, and took out the already written letter from his arms and handed it to Qiaoer: "Please send this letter to Miss Zheng. Tell Miss to wait a night, and I will go to propose marriage tomorrow."

Qiao'er received the letter with both hands, so happy that she didn't know what to say, she put away the letter and wiped her tears: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Liu Zihuan supported Qiao'er's shoulders, Xingzi's brown eyes fixed on Qiao'er for a moment: "This letter must be handed over to Miss Zheng, do you understand?"

When Liu Zihuan saw that, Qiao'er's face flushed with shame, she lowered her head and whispered, "I know... I know."

Liu Zihuan patted the little girl's head and said with a smile, "How Qiaoer, thank you." He turned to leave, but Qiaoer grabbed his arm.That Qiao'er is the same as her young lady, she looks forward to Liu Zihuan day and night, seeing him today, of course she is reluctant to let him go, Qiaoer hurriedly grabbed Liu Zihuan's arm and asked: "Mr. Liu, why haven't you come to propose marriage for so long? ?”

Liu Zihuan frowned slightly, brushing Qiao'er's hand away: "I am the steward of Prince Cheng's mansion, so naturally I have to get Prince Cheng's permission."

Qiao'er was a little disappointed, but when she thought that Liu Zihuan would come to the house to propose marriage tomorrow, she became happy again, and nodded vigorously: "Qiao'er must deliver the letter to Miss, and she must come tomorrow."

Liu Zihuan cast a glance at her, with a faint smile floating on his lips, he opened the door and left the abandoned temple.

Qionglin Court

"I hope the lord will bring his ministers into the palace to meet Madam Xue tomorrow." Yin Yuting shook off the hand that only caressed his cheek.

"In such a hurry?" Li Chunqiu resentfully withdrew his hand, a smile appeared on his lips.

Yin Yuting nodded: "It's not too late." His thick black eyes were dark and deep, and the cinnabar between his brows was flamboyantly red: "Now His Majesty is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince is working hard. The situation is very unfavorable to us."

Li Chunqiu: "What Nuer means is..."

Yin Yuting: "What I mean is, the prince must never let His Majesty die."

Li Chunqiu lifted Yin Yuting's chin, looked at the cruel eyes on that snow-white face, there was some surprise and boredom in those peach eyes, his expression flashed past, and then became gentle and charming: "This is my slave." The reason for meeting my mother and concubine?"

"No." Yin Yuting lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes were like fans.

Li Chunqiu suddenly stretched out his head and kissed Yin Yuting's forehead.

"My lord." Yin Yuting raised his head, looking into Li Chunqiu's eyes.

Li Chunqiu praised: "Nu'er's city is quite deep, he is my most competent Zhang Zifang." He stroked Yin Yuting's face with one hand, and suddenly changed the subject: "But I don't like Zhang Zifang like you."

"My lord?" Yin Yuting was startled, and his expression changed instantly.

Li Chunqiu said: "Yin Liulang, this king has never had a lover in his whole life. Are you willing to give up the post of Dian Jian and be my lover?"

These words really shocked Yin Yuting, how could he expect Li Chunqiu to say such words!After being stunned for a moment, he slowly regained his senses, thinking carefully, it has been a year since we first met Li Chunqiu.Over the past year, Li Chunqiu has cared for him in every possible way, giving him soft armor when he went to the battlefield, and poisoning him when he was attacked.Although he likes to use hands and feet on weekdays, he never disobeys his will.To have King Cheng treat him like this, Yin Yuting should really agree to this request.He didn't answer for a long time, lowered his head, slowly shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I still miss my original job."

Li Chunqiu's eyes trembled slightly, and his handsome face, which was always like a spring breeze, turned a little pale: "Why? Is this king not good enough for you?"

Yin Yuting said softly: "I'm not Liu Zihuan, I don't want to be subdued."

Li Chunqiu said coldly: "Okay." He let go of Yin Yuting's hand, and said before leaving: "My lord will take you into the palace tomorrow." Yin Yuting watched Li Chunqiu Qingjue's back, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

The summer night wind gently blows through his face.There is a heavy river and a heavy mountain, who knows that the way to go is difficult; let him change and seek the end, but the right and wrong will not be settled for a long time.It would be in vain for him to damage Chunshan.

The water lilies in the artificial lake bloomed, the beautiful scenery was dazzling, the fragrance of the lotus was bursting, the crystal curtain was ringing, and a tall figure came in.

"Yin Liulang, I can see you! You've been here a few times and you're not here." Pei Xinggang knocked on the empty door when he came in the morning, thinking that he should come back at night, so he came again, and he saw Yin Yuting sitting by the window Before stepping off the piano stage, he was in a daze.

"Ah Gang." Yin Yuting came back to his senses, but smiled unnaturally.He got up to pour tea for Pei Qinggang, only to find that the teacup Li Chunqiu had used was still there.

A-Gang moved his nose: "The prince has come."

"how do you know?"

"There is very strong ambergris in this room. I heard that it is lighted in Xuege all the year round. How could I not smell it?"

Yin Yuting quickly put away the teacup with residual tea, took out a new teacup and poured a cup of hot tea for Pei Qinggang: "I haven't visited you since I got back home, but instead you came to see me, I really feel a little guilty. "

Hearing what he said, Pei Qinggang was overjoyed secretly, and couldn't hide the corners of his mouth: "Yin Liulang, you... why are you being polite to me?"

Yin Yuting's bright eyes flickered, his eyebrows moved secretly, and the cinnabar mole flashed inadvertently.Pei Qinggang's dark face turned red all of a sudden.The two of them said a few words in a cold voice, Yin Yuting only said that after returning home, he was busy with post-war affairs in Pingjiang, Pei Qinggang drank tea and listened quietly, instead of raising his eyes to look at him.

"I've said so much, but I only talk about my affairs. It's been a month since I said goodbye to A-Gang. I wonder how A-Gang is doing?" Yin Yuting took a sip of tea with a smile.

Pei Qinggang said: "Although I am a general, I returned home at the beginning of Pingjiang. Although this is the order of the prince, it is an insult to my mission to protect the prince." He paused, and then said: "I heard that the prince was injured. gone?"

Yin Yuting shook his fingertips, and the tea almost spilled out: "Yes, but he has recovered."

Pei Qinggang sighed: "Oh, I just humiliated my mission, and I will go to apologize to the prince in a while."

Yin Yuting covered his mouth and snickered, thinking that Li Chunqiu wasn't injured on the battlefield, what kind of crime was he for being a black wood.He smiled enough and said: "A-Gang, listen to me, if you go, it will only make the whole palace another laughingstock, so don't go."

Pei Qinggang couldn't figure it out, and stared at Yin Yuting in a daze: "What kind of laughing stock is there in the palace?"

Yin Yuting waved his hand, thinking that what he said was useless, this guy is really strong-bodied and simple-minded.

Pei Qinggang also knew that he had said something wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, and it was not easy to ask, so he could only keep silent.

Yin Yuting said with a smile: "Ah Gang, don't think too much, I'm just joking with you. In the battle of Pingjiang, you were carrying out the order of the prince and did not accompany you all the way, so there is no need to apologize."

Pei Qinggang nodded with a dark face: "I see." After speaking, he took a big sip of tea.Seeing that he drank up all the tea, Yin Yuting wanted to fill the cup for him, but when he raised his hand, something fell out of his sleeve.

Pei Qinggang picked it up and saw that it was the very poorly made safety knot.This thing was a gift from Li Chunqiu on the way out of Xiliang, Yin Yuting kept it in his sleeve and forgot, only remembered it when he saw it today.

"What is this? It looks so ugly." Pei Qinggang held it in his hand and padded it: "It's also very light, so it's not a good piece of jade."

Seeing things and thinking about people, Yin Yuting suddenly thought of what Li Chunqiu had asked him just now, his face was as bright as a peach blossom in an instant, but his expression was very indifferent, becoming more and more cold and beautiful, "Peace knot." After saying that, he took the jade from Pei Qinggang's hand. Jue snatched it back and put it in his sleeve.

Pei Qinggang's black face was slightly embarrassed, Yin Yuting didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

After a while, Pei Qinggang asked awkwardly: "Yin Liulang, did the prince give you this peace knot?"

"Yes."

When Pei Qinggang heard this, he rubbed his hands repeatedly, his forehead was sweating, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

"Ah Gang has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Yin Yuting couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed the full teacup to Pei Qinggang.

Pei Qinggang raised his dark face and stared at Yin Yuting with radiance.Yin Yuting raised his eyes slightly, waiting for him to speak.But Pei Qinggang just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Yin Yuting sighed, and said politely: "You may have misunderstood me."

Only then did Pei Qinggang say: "Yin Liulang, the prince is a romantic man, you must not fall in love with the prince."

Yin Yuting didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he burst out laughing: "What did you say?" His smile was like a spring flower facing the wind, the wind is graceful and beautiful, which makes people's heart beat.

Seeing him like this, Pei Qinggang's chest was full of energy and blood, and he said eagerly: "Yin Liulang, you still have time to get away! The prince will marry the princess in the future. If you like the prince, you will get nothing in the end!"

Yin Yuting's face tightened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who told you that I like the prince?"

Pei Qinggang was stopped by him, and he said after a while: "As far as I know, people who are close to the prince like him."

Yin Yuting took a sip of the herbal tea, and said lightly: "Thank you, A-Gang, for reminding me, I have my own measure."

When the two of them were talking about this, the servant A Cai came upstairs: "Mr. Pei, Yin Liulang, the prince invites you to come over."
