My lady, something is wrong

Chapter 168 Questions from the Eldest Princess
Spirit Cicada Moon Palace.

In the courtyard, Bai Ling was sitting in front of the stone table, holding a flower in his hand, and was plucking the petals on it boredly.

Pink petals fall one by one.

Some of them fell on her pink skirt and blended with her skirt, as if they were pink flowers embroidered on it.

Holding the sword, Xia Chan stood silently under the eaves, staring at her blankly, but her eyes were not focused, and her thoughts had already flown to nowhere.

When footsteps sounded at the door.

The two came back to their senses and looked at the past together.

A young man in a loose Confucian robe walked in gracefully.

That delicate and handsome face and slender body, like a ray of sunshine, sprinkled on their calm and boring heart lake, causing ripples in circles.

Bai Ling's eyes lit up, he stood up, and with a sweet smile, two sweet dimples appeared on his face, he said crisply: "Master, are you here so early to greet Miss?"

Pearl stood outside, not daring to come in.

Not everyone can enter this Spirit Cicada Moon Palace.

Luo Qingzhou said directly: "Bailing, just now the eldest princess sent someone to the mansion and asked me to go there."

"Princess?"

Bai Ling frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Why did the eldest princess ask you to go?"

Luo Qingzhou shrugged: "I don't know either, but Second Miss is there."

Bai Ling said "Oh", with a strange expression on his face: "Then why are you here, uncle? Hurry up."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the girl under the eaves, then looked at her again and said, "The eldest princess is a woman, can I go see her alone?"

Bai Ling froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand.

Luo Qingzhou said directly: "As a son-in-law, if I want to go out to meet other women, shouldn't Missy send someone to follow me?"

Bailing: "..."

She finally came to her senses, turned her head, looked at the girl under the eaves, and couldn't help laughing "puchi": "Chanchan, this is the first time my uncle invites you to go out together. Go and supervise my uncle, don't let him get involved outside Flowers mess with grass, I'll just watch the young lady at home."

Xia Chan stood under the eaves with her sword in her arms, her face was cold and pretty, and she remained motionless.

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to walk over and said: "Miss Xia Chan, there is a reward. You accompany me once, and I will give you...a bunch of candied haws."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a bunch of candied haws from behind and handed it to her.

When Bai Ling saw it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over and said, "Young Master! Young Master! I'll accompany you! I'll supervise you! Let Chanchan stay at home and watch Miss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the candied haws in Luo Qingzhou's hand was suddenly snatched away.

Holding a sword in one hand and candied haws in the other, Xia Chan stepped out of the eaves and walked towards the door coldly.

"Uncle..."

Bai Ling pouted, looking pitiful.

Luo Qingzhou said: "It's gone, there's only one string left."

Saying this in his mouth, he glanced at the icy girl who was walking towards the door, and immediately took out another one, stuffed it into her hand secretly, and stretched out his hand to grab her pink face again, with a serious face, walk away quickly.

Bai Ling held the candied haws in one hand, and touched his pulled face with the other, and froze in place.

After both of them walked out of the gate, she stomped her feet and muttered: "Smelly uncle, taking advantage of others again! I hate it!"

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes happily and began to eat candied haws.

Zhu'er was anxious and hurried ahead to lead the way.

Luo Qingzhou followed behind with Xia Chan.

When we arrived at the hall, a girl in a goose-yellow dress stood up from the chair, looked at him curiously, and said with a smile, "This must be Mr. Luo. The little girl, Yue Wu, is the maid beside the eldest princess." , the eldest princess wants to invite Mr. Luo to go, I wonder if Mr. Luo is convenient?"

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Miss Yuewu, I don't know why the eldest princess is looking for you?"

Yue Wu smiled and said, "Young master Luo has gone, so you will know."

Song Ruyue, who was accompanying the guests, stood up and said, "Qingzhou, hurry up, Weimo is still there. If the eldest princess has something to order, if you can do it, you must do your best to help the eldest princess to be satisfied."

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Yes, mother-in-law."

Yue Wu smiled and said goodbye: "Madam Qin, then we will leave first."

A group of people left the mansion.

At the gate, there was already a carriage waiting.

Yue Wu laughed and said, "Young Master Luo, I invite you first."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at Xia Chan who was behind him, and got into the carriage without any further excuses.

Xia Chan definitely couldn't get in the carriage.

Some rules must be followed outside.

Moon Dance also boarded the carriage.

The two sat in the carriage, looking at each other.

Xia Chan and Zhu'er followed beside the carriage.

Followed by guards.

On the streets of the city, horse-drawn carriages can only walk slowly, not gallop.

"I heard from Second Miss Qin that Mr. Luo is a scholar and is preparing for next year's autumn exam. Second Miss Qin is known as the most talented woman in Mocheng, and those few poems are even praised by the eldest princess. Presumably Mr. Luo's talent is also extremely high." OK?"

Moon Dance smiled and said.

Luo Qingzhou said modestly: "I can't compare with Miss Qin Er. I'm just a dead book reader. I can only memorize some articles and do some topics in books. I don't have any talent."

Yue Wu smiled slightly: "Mr. Luo, the little girl is a person who loves poetry very much. After following the eldest princess to Mocheng this time, I heard a few poems, all of which are amazing works. One of them is "Water Tune" "Song Head" is more like the work of a poet. There is also a song "Ode to Plum", which makes the little girl very impressed. However, the little girl spent a lot of effort to find out who the author of these two works is. However, the poem about plum blossoms that is "scattered into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains the same" seems to have come from the Qin residence, could it be also the work of Second Miss Qin?"

Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "I'm sorry, Miss Yuewu, I study at home every day and rarely go out, and I'm not good at poetry, so I didn't pay attention to these."

Yue Wu looked at him with a smile and didn't speak any more.

Luo Qingzhou turned his head, opened the curtain beside him, looked at the girl outside and said, "Are you tired?"

Zhu'er raised her head and said with a smile, "Guye, the slaves are not tired."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "I'm asking Miss Xia Chan."

Pearl: "..."

Xia Chan stared straight ahead, with a cold and pretty face, and ignored him.

Luo Qingzhou put down the curtain, turned around, and met the eyes of the girl opposite.

Neither of them spoke any further.

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

At the gate, there were many more soldiers in silver armor and holding silver guns.

Luo Qingzhou could clearly feel the strong murderous aura emanating from these soldiers, obviously they were all soldiers who had killed people on the battlefield.

Yue Wu has a graceful figure and leads the way.

When they reached the gate of the palace, the guard reached out and stopped Xia Chan and Zhu'er who were behind.

Luo Qingzhou turned to look at the two girls and said, "You guys wait here."

Pearl obediently walked aside and stood respectfully.

Xia Chan still followed behind him, with a cold face, and she clenched the sword tightly in her hand.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, turned around and walked in front of her, suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to her ear and said, "Hey, wait outside, when my uncle comes out later, I'll bring you candied haws to eat."

Xia Chan froze for a moment, staring at his cheek that was close at hand, sniffing the familiar breath of his body, feeling the tenderness in his tone in her heart, her expression was suddenly slightly dazed.

Paused for a moment.

She clenched the sword in her hand, turned and left, away from the guards and Pearl, and stood alone under the big tree not far away, looking at him, her pretty cheek was still as cold as ice.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, and followed Yue Wu into the house.

Stepping on a soft blanket, passing through the gates guarded by several female guards, and turning into a luxuriously decorated corridor.

After passing through the long corridor, Fang entered a large hall.

On the right side of the main hall is a study room.

Standing at the door were two maids in light yellow dresses. Seeing him coming, they all looked at him.

Yue Wu walked to the door, bowed her head respectfully to the inside and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Luo is here."

After a while.

A faint female voice came from inside the room: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Yue Wu turned her head and glanced at the young man behind her, beckoning him to follow, and then walked in first.

Luo Qingzhou followed behind her, stepped on the red blanket, and entered the room.

Immediately, it stopped in front of a bead curtain.

Yue Wu lowered her head, retreated to the side, and said softly: "Young Master Luo, just stand here and answer."

Luo Qingzhou bowed and lowered his head.

In front of the long table in the room, Nangong Huoyue, who was wearing a fiery red dress, was kneeling there, writing with a wolf hair in her hand.

Second Miss Qin, who was dressed in plain white, knelt beside her, rubbing ink gently for her.

Another moment passed.

Nangong Huoyue Fang said while writing: "Mr. Luo is a scholar. I have a few questions that I would like to ask you. I hope you can answer them."

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Please, Your Highness."

Nangong Huoyue said: "【Gentlemen follow their positions and don't want to be outside of them】, Mr. Luo thinks this sentence in "The Doctrine of the Mean", right?"

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a while, and replied: "A gentleman is happy with his destiny, content with his current position, walks in the middle, advances and retreats without losing his way, does not envy anything outside his duty, and does not take offense at anything outside his duty. Unreasonable thought. I think this sentence depends on the situation. For some people, he is right, but for others, it is too rigid and pedantic."

"Oh?"

Nangong Huoyue put down the pen in her hand, turned to look at him and said, "Explain."

Luo Qingzhou respectfully said: "For some adults in official positions, this sentence can make them keep their own place, serve the public and the people wholeheartedly, not seek profit for themselves, do not practice deceit, and do not only focus on getting promoted and getting rich, and be themselves The duty is right. But for those soldiers or students, and those who still have a lot of room for improvement, this sentence will hinder their progress and dull their ambitions. Just like soldiers, they don’t want to be A general's soldiers are not good soldiers, because only when soldiers have the dream of being a general in their hearts can they be more passionate, more idealistic, more self-motivated, more courageous, and able to fight the enemy recklessly. , I just want to be a little soldier all my life, and just do my own thing well, then this army is impossible to have combat effectiveness, and it is impossible to win battles all the time."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while.

Nangong Huoyuefang said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier... Mr. Luo, well said!"

Second Miss Qin, who was grinding ink next to her, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Then Mr. Luo thinks, as the commander of the first army, he should have such thoughts?"
