Prince Boring and Concubine Qiao Ai
Chapter 27
After all, Chu Di heard that he was an outsider. When he met Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling had been with Luo Yi's childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, and he was not completely clear about the entanglement between the two.He only saw what Prince Luo had done for Zhao Ling in the past 20 years, and he was very impressed. He asked himself that there are people he likes, but he would not be so stupid as to do this for a dead person.
Nianming Temple caught fire and destroyed most of the temple. It was the painstaking effort of Prince Luo for 20 years, and all the things related to Zhao Ling were stored in it.Joy comes from sorrow, and who would have guessed that there are gods in the world, and the gods will eventually manifest themselves.
He should bless the two of them.
Zhao Ling pulled up his hair and sat down at the front of the table. Chu Di listened to sit on the other side and returned to the topic.He came after coaxing Ning Qiumo to sleep, not to discuss with Zhao Ling whether he should sleep with Lord Luo or not.
Presumably, Zhao Ling also wanted to ask him a lot of questions.
Zhao Ling asked, "Can I see a corner of Ningguo's jade seal?"
Chu Di heard that he had been prepared, and asked Ning Qiumo to come over. He took out a square jade stone from his cuff, with two incomplete characters engraved on it.
Zhao Ling took it over, secretly cursing the person who broke the jade seal for eighteen generations.In his previous life, he was cheated by this thing and lost his life. In this life, it took no effort. The piece sent by Mr. Chu is about the same size as the one Kuang Chengzong picked up in his parents' mountain range.
"In my opinion, this jade seal has been divided into four pieces." Chu Di didn't know that Kuang Chengzong had picked up a piece and gave it to Lord Luo before, and Zhao Ling had already seen a piece of jade seal, so he said his guess, "This One piece was given to Ah Mo on purpose, and the four jade seals must have been given to four different people. He gave Ah Mo the jade seal in the hope that Ah Mo would stir up border turmoil. The other three people he gave probably had similar purposes. .Who was the one who got the jade seal back then? Why did he hide the jade seal to make you turn against Liang Guo?"
Zhao Ling recalled what Kuang Chengzong said when he saw the jade seal. The jade seal appeared at his feet by a very coincidence. All the people present at that time were powerful people in Daliang. To investigate the tiger's raid, the dark guard camp should send Many people, but the jade seal was picked up by Hou Ye who had 100 taels of silver on the ground and didn't even bother to look down to pick it up.
The jade seal is cut into pieces by a sharp blade, not an ordinary drop. To cut a jade seal into pieces, in addition to having deep internal strength and precise techniques, you must also have a sharp and strong weapon. In his impression, only Fang Jing and Only masters from the rivers and lakes like Ningzhuang can do it, "I heard from Xiaomo that the one who gave him the jade seal was the former Ministry of Ningguo."
"Ningguo's old department, only the people under Ningzhuang's subordinates are left. They surrendered to Lord Luo 20 years ago, and now they are staying peacefully in Mobei, and Ningguo's old department will never push His Highness to die. , that man is lying."
Zhao Ling propped the sharp corner of Yuxi on the table and turned it like a top, and the shadow was reflected into a circle. While playing, he said to himself, "Kuang Chengzong, Ning Moqiu... if it was intentional... People are all princes, they all lost their country, and they all lost everything in the war 20 years ago..."
Chu Di heard, "A Ling, what are you going to do?"
"Of course to find this person." Zhao Ling supported his waist, the pain gradually became stronger, and this small body was too weak.
The blood of 20 years ago cannot be shed in vain, and Luo Yi must have the same idea as him.If you are lucky, this person happens to be the person who privately hid the jade seal back then, and he can still be innocent. He is a traitor and thief, and he is notorious.
There was a loud noise outside the door.
He and Chu Di looked at each other, and they both saw doubts on each other's faces. Wasn't Lord Lin sharpening his sword by the Phoenix River to suppress the bandits?How come here?
"You can't go in."
The one who stopped Prince Lin was naturally Guard Ning.
"I want to go in!"
Prince Lin wants to enter Luo Yi's study? ? ?
Zhao Ling fastened the button of his neckline to cover up the hickey marks, lay down in front of the window, and greeted Lord Lin outside the window, "Morning."
Lord Lin knew that Zhao Lian was the "Luo Prince's son" who kidnapped him last time, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Ling thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Warm the king's bed."
Prince Lin naturally didn't believe it, he was about to push the door open with big strides, but Ning Zhuang's sword crossed, threatening with a deadpan expression, "If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame my sword for being blind."
"Looking for death! You dare to touch me! I am the majestic Regent of Yan Kingdom..." Prince Lin was invited, but he was told that the host, Prince Luo, was going out on business, and that important people in the study were not allowed to enter, so they could only wait in the courtyard. inside or at the gate.Where is the dignity of the dignified royal family of Yan Kingdom?Anyway, I was waiting in the study, so I wanted to rush in angrily.
Ning Zhuang mercilessly drew a bloodstain on Prince Lin's handsome face.
Chu Di listened, Ningzhuang naturally wouldn't let Prince Lin into the study.
In the room, Chu Di listened skillfully fiddled with a vase, a wall was turned a little, and there was a secret passage.
Zhao Ling waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly. This pair of enemies can't meet each other. Only when Yin and Yang are separated can the world be peaceful.
Seeing Lord Lin covering his face and rolling on the ground, Sapo pretended to have nothing to do with Ning Zhuang, but Ning Zhuang silently stood where he was holding his sword, and didn't even bother to look at him with contempt.Zhao Ling is funny, at such an advanced age, why are you still acting like a child?The more you live, the more you go back?What a serious person the former Crown Prince of Yan State was!Isn't it Zhao Xiaoqi's specialty to play tricks?
Zhao Ling can't remember clearly. During those years when he was hostage in Ning State, he went to Ning State with his eldest brother, and met the princes who were sent as hostages by the other four countries, and the current empress of Liang State, Lin Yueru...
That day, he and his elder brother's carriage arrived at the gate of Ningguo's capital, and Ningguo came to greet him, but it was only a small captain of the imperial army, leading a few people, round and brainless like a pig, spraying spittle stars, Tell them to get out of the carriage and walk into the city, and they are not allowed to take a single servant.
At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and even the vendors who set up the stalls couldn't stand the scorching sun, and it was cool for a few hours when they went home from the stalls.The street was so silent that no one could be seen.
When a prince from another country enters the capital, according to national etiquette, he should be greeted by the head of his own country's East Palace. Even if Ning Guo thinks he is great, he must at least have a minister in charge of the third rank or higher, but now, the small captain can't even be a rank. In fact, making such a rude request is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Zhao Qi didn't want to cause trouble, so Ning Guo hoped that they would cause trouble, so that he could have an excuse to kill him, and then shift the responsibility to Liang Guo.With the seventh brother with him, it is even more impossible for him to take half a risk.
Endure the momentary anger and take a step back to broaden the sea and the sky.When parting, the mother and concubine repeatedly told him.
The team leader bossed around and urged, "Hurry up!"
Zhao Qi pushed Zhao Ling who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, "Xiaoqi, wake up, we have to get out of the car and walk."
He was afraid that Zhao Ling would lose his composure, and wanted to chatter a few words, but Zhao Ling stuck his head out of the window, pointed at the little captain, and said, "Come here."
The captain finally expected these two masters to cause trouble, and he was about to blurt out the platitudes he had prepared a long time ago. The master wanted him to kill the arrogance of these royal children, and deliberately found trouble to annoy them. The princes from the four countries who came before all accepted it with humility. In the end, Liang Guolai was the last one left.
I heard that besides the crown prince, the Seventh Prince Zhao Jingming also came together.Although these seven princes are not as noble as the Crown Prince, they are indeed the most beloved sons of the Emperor Liang. His uncle is Xue Si, the leader of the Xue Clan of the Liang Kingdom. value.
Thinking about Zhao Ling's upright youth and vigor, he was also favored in Liang Guo's palace, he couldn't bear hardships, and it was reasonable to make troubles.
Just as he was about to step forward, Zhao Ling said, "I didn't call you."
Zhao Qi tugged at Zhao Ling's sleeve, "Xiaoqi!"
Zhao Ling ignored him, and pointed to the captain's side, "I'm calling him."
The squad leader trembled, but the person in the soldier's clothes beside him raised his eyebrows in anger.Before the team leader could speak, he approached the carriage and saw Zhao Ling unhurriedly throwing him a burden.
Unpacking the package, he froze.
After a long while, he threw the burden back, as if he had been humiliated, he said angrily, "Get out of the car!"
Zhao Ling expected this to happen.
The dignified young prince of Ningguo, how can he be short of money?But now, he only has such a decent meeting gift on hand.
The squad leader is a fake, and the real master is behind him wearing a soldier's clothes.
This kind of game of master-servant swapping identities, he can play at the age of three.
"Where did you get so many... silver notes?" Zhao Qi asked in surprise, his luggage was full of silver notes, adding up to tens of thousands of taels, enough to cover the expenses of the Eastern Palace for two years.
Zhao Ling put away the baggage, "Miss Wu gave it to me before I left."
Wu Wan and Zhao Ling quarreled once every three days and every five days, and their relationship was like brother and sister, probably because they knew that Zhao Ling usually didn't leave any spare money, and basically spent all the prince's monthly money in the middle of each month, and then lived on the help of friends, so At the time of parting, he gave a large bag of silver to prevent him from starving to death in Ningguo.
Look at the person who left angrily, it seems... he treats silver like dung.
"Who is that person? Why are you so angry, but..." What Zhao Qi wanted to ask was that he was so angry, but didn't do anything to us.
"He is the youngest son of Emperor Ning, and it is a coincidence that he has accepted the errand of entertaining the princes of our five countries to Liang." Zhao Ling happily jumped off the carriage, "Master Ning is the same family of Lieutenant General Fang beside uncle, although he is not a Master, but all martial arts practitioners have a problem. They regard themselves as noble. When I insulted him by giving him a banknote, he was naturally angry. But the disciples of the famous family also claim to be decent, so we obediently follow what he said. He can't do anything to us because of a burden."
Zhao Qi seems to understand but not understand. "Why don't we have a good relationship with him? There are many friends in Ningguo who can help us when necessary."
Zhao Ling explained, "There are countless people who want to have a relationship with Prince Zhuang. Few of them are courteous and flattering, and he can remember them. On the contrary, those who seek trouble with him will have a deeper impression on him. For example... us."
"What nonsense! Let's go!" the butler of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, dressed as the team leader, urged again.
Zhao Ling shouted, "Here we come! We come!"
The house for the princes of the Five Kingdoms is located in the northwest corner of Ningguo. It is an idle house in the Zhuang Wangfu.When Zhao Ling and Zhao arrived, the princes from the other four countries had already arrived, playing cards together in the water pavilion in the courtyard.
Card game is a kind of card game that is popular in the six countries. Everyone from the royal relatives to the common people is proficient.None of the princes of the four countries was allowed to bring their servants into the capital of Ningguo. They didn't know each other when they met for the first time. After staring at each other for a while, I don't know who suggested it first.
Everyone knew it, and the four of them quickly became poker friends. After a few rounds, they became familiar with each other naturally.
The brothers from the Zhao family were the last to come and did not disturb them, but stood far behind the arch. Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling said, "They are free."
"Brother, in my opinion, Ningguo has really done a good thing this time." Zhao Ling lay in front of the round stone window, "Bring the future kings of a country together, eat and live with classmates, come here A friend in adversity sees the truth, and in the future, because of the friendship we had when we were young, at least the five kingdoms will be harmonious and the world will be peaceful."
Zhao Qi chuckled and patted the seventh brother on the shoulder, "The premise is that we can go back alive. Even if we can go back alive, it doesn't have to be the king."
He turned sideways, matched the information of the princes of the Five Kingdoms with the information he knew, and said to Zhao Ling, "Kuang Chengzong on the far left, the prince of Qingji Kingdom, is gentle and friendly, and has a high prestige in the court and the army. .”
"The one on the right is Yu Weiying, the crown prince of the Li Kingdom, and Ye Qing, the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, is next to him. The two of them are going smoothly. The eldest son and grandson don't have much ability, but there is no suspense about inheriting the throne."
Zhao Ling also read the information, and admired the vividness of the portrait, not even a hemorrhoid was bad.
"The one on the far right is Lin Zhuweng, Prince Yan." Zhao Qi pursed his lips, "He..."
"The queen mother died young and was not favored by his father. If it weren't for the fear of the officials' remonstrance, I'm afraid she would have been abolished." Zhao Ling sighed, "I'm afraid that the emperor of Yan State would wish that his son could die in Ning State. Come back...hey...Brother, why are there still women here?"
Looking at the back of the wearer, she doesn't look like a maid.Whose concubine?They don't even allow young servants to be brought into the city, so how can they allow women to be brought into the city?
The two looked at each other, and saw the woman walked along the water pavilion to the pavilion at the end.She found a rock and sat down casually, and said, "Brother, there are two people who have been peeping at you."
"..."
The four of them turned around together, and Zhao Ling and Zhao Qi, who had been named by the woman, came out from the circular palace gate in embarrassment.
The person who came must be Prince Liang.Prince Qingji was the first to speak, "I've heard about Prince Jingrui's name for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to meet him today. It's true that hearing a hundred things is not as good as seeing it."
Zhao Qi was busy returning the gift, and then exchanged greetings with other princes.Zhao Ling was completely ignored. Among the heirs of the Five Kingdoms, Zhao Qi, Prince of Liang, and Zhao Jingrui had the most reputation. Liang was also a stable and low-key power under Ning.Kuang Chengzong immediately invited him to play cards together, Zhao Qi wanted to ask Zhao Ling what he meant, but saw that Zhao Ling was already supporting the pillar with one hand, talking to the woman who just sat down.
Seeing that woman's frontal face, she was somewhat similar to that of Prince Yan.Zhao Qi immediately remembered that it was mentioned in the information that Lin Zhuweng brought his own sister with him on this trip.Princess Lin Yueru of Yan Kingdom.She was fair and fair, and she was considered a top-notch beauty, without any expression on her face, watching the fish swimming in the lake coldly.
The seventh brother has his own plans. When he came, his father had a long talk with him all night. When he encountered something that he disagreed with Zhao Ling, even if he didn't understand it, he must not make his own opinions and listen to Zhao Ling's arrangements.
Zhao Ling introduced himself for a while, but the woman didn't look up. He changed the subject, and talked about the anecdotes of Yan Kingdom, most of which he heard from the old lady in the palace. The other party still ignored her, what an iceberg Cold beauty.
Zhao Ling threw a stone, and waves rippled around the edge of the water, scaring the fish away.See if you still ignore me!Zhao Ling asked, "Good princess, why did you come to this dragon pool and tiger den to die?"
There was only slight anger on the woman's face, she raised her head, "Didn't you also come to die? You are not the prince, what are you doing here with Ningguo?"
Zhao Ling nodded, "I was willing to die, but I deserved it. Mr. Chu looks like a fairy, and I really want to make friends with him. If you know yourself in life, even death is worth it. Sister, could it be that... you have also taken a fancy to Mr. Chu?"
"Who is your sister!" Lin Yueru was completely angry, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."
Zhao Ling seemed to understand, "It turns out that you are not interested in Mr. Chu, but Prince Ning, so you have come all the way to seduce him. But the concubine of Ning has always been made by the Chu family. It's a pity for your beauty to be a side concubine. Why don't you...consider me, my elder brother? Prince Jingrui is handsome, graceful, talented, and stable in dealing with things. The country can also be good friends from generation to generation..."
"You're courting death!" Lin Yueru slammed her palm over.
Zhao Ling turned his face to avoid a slap, and his right hand wanted to grab Lin Yueru's slender wrist. Lin Yueru was also a trainer, and she practiced martial arts with her master since she was a child. With the dagger scabbard, the two of them were separated by one meter.The two of them kept their feet on the ground, and they made three moves with their wrists and forearms. Of course, Zhao Ling didn't try his best. Although the woman's body was fast, her moves were flat, and she could see through her intentions at a glance.
"Sister be careful!"
"Seventh brother!"
Lin Zhuweng and Zhao Qi both spoke.In an instant, two snowflake darts flew towards Zhao Ling and Lin Yueru.
Zhao Ling dodged subconsciously, and kindly used the palm of his hand to pull Princess Lin away from the dangerous area, but Princess Lin was too involved in the fight, and she couldn't stand firm, and fell into Zhao Ling's arms all at once.
Lin Yueru's face turned red. She was of a noble family, except for her brother, she had never been so close to a man before.
Zhao Ling really didn't do it on purpose, but it's better to be treated lightly by him than to be stabbed by a dart.It's all the fault of the dart thrower, what can't be said properly?Frighten him with such a dangerous hidden weapon.
He knew that the dart had no killing intent and did not attack his vital parts. It was shaped like a snowflake, similar to the one that Vice General Fang usually throws around.
Sure enough, Prince Zhuang looked at them coldly with his hands behind his back.After changing his attire, the nobleness of the master's family returned. Behind him, there were two people standing, both wearing real silk and satin, the kind that a piece of cloth is worth thousands of gold.
"Hurry up and stop!"
The princes of the five countries followed the etiquette of other countries, and the prince of Ningguo arrived. Although he was dressed in modest clothes, no one could pretend not to know him.The one who followed Mr. Ningguo was the number one Mr. Chu in the world as rumored by the world.
Looking at the appearance alone, the four words "Peerless Fenghua" are absolutely worthy, and there is also a sense of freedom and elegance that is refined from the world.Such a person is actually struggling in the court, and he can only regret that he was cast in the wrong birth and born in the wrong door.
On the contrary, the prince of Ningguo was so well protected, even in his teens, he still had an innocent face.
"Why did you fight on the first day we met?" Ning Qiumo shuddered when he saw Lin Yueru's eyes were ready to kill and set fire. This girl looked so fierce.But brother Chu was watching, he couldn't show fear or timidity, he was the prince of Ningguo, and he had the final say on his territory.He asked, "You are Princess Yun'an of Yan Kingdom, right? Did he bully you? How can a man bully a woman? You tell this palace. This palace will seek justice from you."
Probably because Lin Yueru hated Ningguo more than Zhao Ling, she dismissed Prince Ningguo's kindness, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"My younger sister is young and ignorant, disturbing His Highness, and His Highness has a large number of adults, so don't worry about it." Lin Zhuweng blocked his younger sister behind him.
Before Zhao Qi could speak, Zhao Ling took the first step, "I'm just messing around with Princess Yun'an."
There was a chill in the back for no reason.
Ning Qiumo didn't look like it, he turned his head and saw Brother Chu smiled at him, which meant to make him believe it, turn big things into small things, and don't care about them.Yes, he came here to make friends with these princes.
"Today's temple fair, if you are interested, come and visit with us!" Ning Qiumo warmly invited.It was the emperor's intention to recruit the princes of the five countries into Ningdu, and it seemed that he also borrowed the name of Brother Chu.Brother Chu had more errands for no reason, and less time to spend with him.He made a few awkward moments, and was severely scolded by his father for being worthless.Later, Brother Chu told him a lot of principles of governing the country. Most of them he couldn't understand, but he understood one sentence. Brother Chu wanted him to befriend the princes of the Five Kingdoms.
For example, he should personally go to the city gate to welcome a few people into the city.
Early this morning, he asked his little uncle when the princes would enter the city, but the little uncle gave him a cold face and said, "Don't meddle in your own business."
Well, he doesn't care, how about taking them to the temple fair when they enter the city.The friendship in Ning Qiumo's heart is that friends of friends eat, drink and have fun together, and there are two whole streets of temple fair snacks. They will definitely like it.
Nianming Temple caught fire and destroyed most of the temple. It was the painstaking effort of Prince Luo for 20 years, and all the things related to Zhao Ling were stored in it.Joy comes from sorrow, and who would have guessed that there are gods in the world, and the gods will eventually manifest themselves.
He should bless the two of them.
Zhao Ling pulled up his hair and sat down at the front of the table. Chu Di listened to sit on the other side and returned to the topic.He came after coaxing Ning Qiumo to sleep, not to discuss with Zhao Ling whether he should sleep with Lord Luo or not.
Presumably, Zhao Ling also wanted to ask him a lot of questions.
Zhao Ling asked, "Can I see a corner of Ningguo's jade seal?"
Chu Di heard that he had been prepared, and asked Ning Qiumo to come over. He took out a square jade stone from his cuff, with two incomplete characters engraved on it.
Zhao Ling took it over, secretly cursing the person who broke the jade seal for eighteen generations.In his previous life, he was cheated by this thing and lost his life. In this life, it took no effort. The piece sent by Mr. Chu is about the same size as the one Kuang Chengzong picked up in his parents' mountain range.

Chu Di heard, "A Ling, what are you going to do?"
"Of course to find this person." Zhao Ling supported his waist, the pain gradually became stronger, and this small body was too weak.
The blood of 20 years ago cannot be shed in vain, and Luo Yi must have the same idea as him.If you are lucky, this person happens to be the person who privately hid the jade seal back then, and he can still be innocent. He is a traitor and thief, and he is notorious.
There was a loud noise outside the door.
He and Chu Di looked at each other, and they both saw doubts on each other's faces. Wasn't Lord Lin sharpening his sword by the Phoenix River to suppress the bandits?How come here?
"You can't go in."
The one who stopped Prince Lin was naturally Guard Ning.
"I want to go in!"
Prince Lin wants to enter Luo Yi's study? ? ?
Zhao Ling fastened the button of his neckline to cover up the hickey marks, lay down in front of the window, and greeted Lord Lin outside the window, "Morning."
Lord Lin knew that Zhao Lian was the "Luo Prince's son" who kidnapped him last time, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Ling thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Warm the king's bed."
Prince Lin naturally didn't believe it, he was about to push the door open with big strides, but Ning Zhuang's sword crossed, threatening with a deadpan expression, "If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame my sword for being blind."
"Looking for death! You dare to touch me! I am the majestic Regent of Yan Kingdom..." Prince Lin was invited, but he was told that the host, Prince Luo, was going out on business, and that important people in the study were not allowed to enter, so they could only wait in the courtyard. inside or at the gate.Where is the dignity of the dignified royal family of Yan Kingdom?Anyway, I was waiting in the study, so I wanted to rush in angrily.
Ning Zhuang mercilessly drew a bloodstain on Prince Lin's handsome face.
Chu Di listened, Ningzhuang naturally wouldn't let Prince Lin into the study.
In the room, Chu Di listened skillfully fiddled with a vase, a wall was turned a little, and there was a secret passage.
Zhao Ling waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly. This pair of enemies can't meet each other. Only when Yin and Yang are separated can the world be peaceful.

Endure the momentary anger and take a step back to broaden the sea and the sky.When parting, the mother and concubine repeatedly told him.
The team leader bossed around and urged, "Hurry up!"
Zhao Qi pushed Zhao Ling who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, "Xiaoqi, wake up, we have to get out of the car and walk."
He was afraid that Zhao Ling would lose his composure, and wanted to chatter a few words, but Zhao Ling stuck his head out of the window, pointed at the little captain, and said, "Come here."

Thinking about Zhao Ling's upright youth and vigor, he was also favored in Liang Guo's palace, he couldn't bear hardships, and it was reasonable to make troubles.
Just as he was about to step forward, Zhao Ling said, "I didn't call you."
Zhao Qi tugged at Zhao Ling's sleeve, "Xiaoqi!"
Zhao Ling ignored him, and pointed to the captain's side, "I'm calling him."
The squad leader trembled, but the person in the soldier's clothes beside him raised his eyebrows in anger.Before the team leader could speak, he approached the carriage and saw Zhao Ling unhurriedly throwing him a burden.

This kind of game of master-servant swapping identities, he can play at the age of three.
"Where did you get so many... silver notes?" Zhao Qi asked in surprise, his luggage was full of silver notes, adding up to tens of thousands of taels, enough to cover the expenses of the Eastern Palace for two years.
Zhao Ling put away the baggage, "Miss Wu gave it to me before I left."
Wu Wan and Zhao Ling quarreled once every three days and every five days, and their relationship was like brother and sister, probably because they knew that Zhao Ling usually didn't leave any spare money, and basically spent all the prince's monthly money in the middle of each month, and then lived on the help of friends, so At the time of parting, he gave a large bag of silver to prevent him from starving to death in Ningguo.
Look at the person who left angrily, it seems... he treats silver like dung.
"Who is that person? Why are you so angry, but..." What Zhao Qi wanted to ask was that he was so angry, but didn't do anything to us.
"He is the youngest son of Emperor Ning, and it is a coincidence that he has accepted the errand of entertaining the princes of our five countries to Liang." Zhao Ling happily jumped off the carriage, "Master Ning is the same family of Lieutenant General Fang beside uncle, although he is not a Master, but all martial arts practitioners have a problem. They regard themselves as noble. When I insulted him by giving him a banknote, he was naturally angry. But the disciples of the famous family also claim to be decent, so we obediently follow what he said. He can't do anything to us because of a burden."
Zhao Qi seems to understand but not understand. "Why don't we have a good relationship with him? There are many friends in Ningguo who can help us when necessary."
Zhao Ling explained, "There are countless people who want to have a relationship with Prince Zhuang. Few of them are courteous and flattering, and he can remember them. On the contrary, those who seek trouble with him will have a deeper impression on him. For example... us."
"What nonsense! Let's go!" the butler of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, dressed as the team leader, urged again.
Zhao Ling shouted, "Here we come! We come!"
The house for the princes of the Five Kingdoms is located in the northwest corner of Ningguo. It is an idle house in the Zhuang Wangfu.When Zhao Ling and Zhao arrived, the princes from the other four countries had already arrived, playing cards together in the water pavilion in the courtyard.
Card game is a kind of card game that is popular in the six countries. Everyone from the royal relatives to the common people is proficient.None of the princes of the four countries was allowed to bring their servants into the capital of Ningguo. They didn't know each other when they met for the first time. After staring at each other for a while, I don't know who suggested it first.
Everyone knew it, and the four of them quickly became poker friends. After a few rounds, they became familiar with each other naturally.
The brothers from the Zhao family were the last to come and did not disturb them, but stood far behind the arch. Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling said, "They are free."
"Brother, in my opinion, Ningguo has really done a good thing this time." Zhao Ling lay in front of the round stone window, "Bring the future kings of a country together, eat and live with classmates, come here A friend in adversity sees the truth, and in the future, because of the friendship we had when we were young, at least the five kingdoms will be harmonious and the world will be peaceful."
Zhao Qi chuckled and patted the seventh brother on the shoulder, "The premise is that we can go back alive. Even if we can go back alive, it doesn't have to be the king."
He turned sideways, matched the information of the princes of the Five Kingdoms with the information he knew, and said to Zhao Ling, "Kuang Chengzong on the far left, the prince of Qingji Kingdom, is gentle and friendly, and has a high prestige in the court and the army. .”
"The one on the right is Yu Weiying, the crown prince of the Li Kingdom, and Ye Qing, the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, is next to him. The two of them are going smoothly. The eldest son and grandson don't have much ability, but there is no suspense about inheriting the throne."
Zhao Ling also read the information, and admired the vividness of the portrait, not even a hemorrhoid was bad.
"The one on the far right is Lin Zhuweng, Prince Yan." Zhao Qi pursed his lips, "He..."
"The queen mother died young and was not favored by his father. If it weren't for the fear of the officials' remonstrance, I'm afraid she would have been abolished." Zhao Ling sighed, "I'm afraid that the emperor of Yan State would wish that his son could die in Ning State. Come back...hey...Brother, why are there still women here?"
Looking at the back of the wearer, she doesn't look like a maid.Whose concubine?They don't even allow young servants to be brought into the city, so how can they allow women to be brought into the city?
The two looked at each other, and saw the woman walked along the water pavilion to the pavilion at the end.She found a rock and sat down casually, and said, "Brother, there are two people who have been peeping at you."
"..."
The four of them turned around together, and Zhao Ling and Zhao Qi, who had been named by the woman, came out from the circular palace gate in embarrassment.
The person who came must be Prince Liang.Prince Qingji was the first to speak, "I've heard about Prince Jingrui's name for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to meet him today. It's true that hearing a hundred things is not as good as seeing it."
Zhao Qi was busy returning the gift, and then exchanged greetings with other princes.Zhao Ling was completely ignored. Among the heirs of the Five Kingdoms, Zhao Qi, Prince of Liang, and Zhao Jingrui had the most reputation. Liang was also a stable and low-key power under Ning.Kuang Chengzong immediately invited him to play cards together, Zhao Qi wanted to ask Zhao Ling what he meant, but saw that Zhao Ling was already supporting the pillar with one hand, talking to the woman who just sat down.
Seeing that woman's frontal face, she was somewhat similar to that of Prince Yan.Zhao Qi immediately remembered that it was mentioned in the information that Lin Zhuweng brought his own sister with him on this trip.Princess Lin Yueru of Yan Kingdom.She was fair and fair, and she was considered a top-notch beauty, without any expression on her face, watching the fish swimming in the lake coldly.
The seventh brother has his own plans. When he came, his father had a long talk with him all night. When he encountered something that he disagreed with Zhao Ling, even if he didn't understand it, he must not make his own opinions and listen to Zhao Ling's arrangements.
Zhao Ling introduced himself for a while, but the woman didn't look up. He changed the subject, and talked about the anecdotes of Yan Kingdom, most of which he heard from the old lady in the palace. The other party still ignored her, what an iceberg Cold beauty.
Zhao Ling threw a stone, and waves rippled around the edge of the water, scaring the fish away.See if you still ignore me!Zhao Ling asked, "Good princess, why did you come to this dragon pool and tiger den to die?"
There was only slight anger on the woman's face, she raised her head, "Didn't you also come to die? You are not the prince, what are you doing here with Ningguo?"
Zhao Ling nodded, "I was willing to die, but I deserved it. Mr. Chu looks like a fairy, and I really want to make friends with him. If you know yourself in life, even death is worth it. Sister, could it be that... you have also taken a fancy to Mr. Chu?"
"Who is your sister!" Lin Yueru was completely angry, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."
Zhao Ling seemed to understand, "It turns out that you are not interested in Mr. Chu, but Prince Ning, so you have come all the way to seduce him. But the concubine of Ning has always been made by the Chu family. It's a pity for your beauty to be a side concubine. Why don't you...consider me, my elder brother? Prince Jingrui is handsome, graceful, talented, and stable in dealing with things. The country can also be good friends from generation to generation..."
"You're courting death!" Lin Yueru slammed her palm over.
Zhao Ling turned his face to avoid a slap, and his right hand wanted to grab Lin Yueru's slender wrist. Lin Yueru was also a trainer, and she practiced martial arts with her master since she was a child. With the dagger scabbard, the two of them were separated by one meter.The two of them kept their feet on the ground, and they made three moves with their wrists and forearms. Of course, Zhao Ling didn't try his best. Although the woman's body was fast, her moves were flat, and she could see through her intentions at a glance.
"Sister be careful!"
"Seventh brother!"
Lin Zhuweng and Zhao Qi both spoke.In an instant, two snowflake darts flew towards Zhao Ling and Lin Yueru.
Zhao Ling dodged subconsciously, and kindly used the palm of his hand to pull Princess Lin away from the dangerous area, but Princess Lin was too involved in the fight, and she couldn't stand firm, and fell into Zhao Ling's arms all at once.
Lin Yueru's face turned red. She was of a noble family, except for her brother, she had never been so close to a man before.
Zhao Ling really didn't do it on purpose, but it's better to be treated lightly by him than to be stabbed by a dart.It's all the fault of the dart thrower, what can't be said properly?Frighten him with such a dangerous hidden weapon.
He knew that the dart had no killing intent and did not attack his vital parts. It was shaped like a snowflake, similar to the one that Vice General Fang usually throws around.
Sure enough, Prince Zhuang looked at them coldly with his hands behind his back.After changing his attire, the nobleness of the master's family returned. Behind him, there were two people standing, both wearing real silk and satin, the kind that a piece of cloth is worth thousands of gold.
"Hurry up and stop!"
The princes of the five countries followed the etiquette of other countries, and the prince of Ningguo arrived. Although he was dressed in modest clothes, no one could pretend not to know him.The one who followed Mr. Ningguo was the number one Mr. Chu in the world as rumored by the world.
Looking at the appearance alone, the four words "Peerless Fenghua" are absolutely worthy, and there is also a sense of freedom and elegance that is refined from the world.Such a person is actually struggling in the court, and he can only regret that he was cast in the wrong birth and born in the wrong door.
On the contrary, the prince of Ningguo was so well protected, even in his teens, he still had an innocent face.
"Why did you fight on the first day we met?" Ning Qiumo shuddered when he saw Lin Yueru's eyes were ready to kill and set fire. This girl looked so fierce.But brother Chu was watching, he couldn't show fear or timidity, he was the prince of Ningguo, and he had the final say on his territory.He asked, "You are Princess Yun'an of Yan Kingdom, right? Did he bully you? How can a man bully a woman? You tell this palace. This palace will seek justice from you."
Probably because Lin Yueru hated Ningguo more than Zhao Ling, she dismissed Prince Ningguo's kindness, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"My younger sister is young and ignorant, disturbing His Highness, and His Highness has a large number of adults, so don't worry about it." Lin Zhuweng blocked his younger sister behind him.
Before Zhao Qi could speak, Zhao Ling took the first step, "I'm just messing around with Princess Yun'an."
There was a chill in the back for no reason.
Ning Qiumo didn't look like it, he turned his head and saw Brother Chu smiled at him, which meant to make him believe it, turn big things into small things, and don't care about them.Yes, he came here to make friends with these princes.
"Today's temple fair, if you are interested, come and visit with us!" Ning Qiumo warmly invited.It was the emperor's intention to recruit the princes of the five countries into Ningdu, and it seemed that he also borrowed the name of Brother Chu.Brother Chu had more errands for no reason, and less time to spend with him.He made a few awkward moments, and was severely scolded by his father for being worthless.Later, Brother Chu told him a lot of principles of governing the country. Most of them he couldn't understand, but he understood one sentence. Brother Chu wanted him to befriend the princes of the Five Kingdoms.
For example, he should personally go to the city gate to welcome a few people into the city.
Early this morning, he asked his little uncle when the princes would enter the city, but the little uncle gave him a cold face and said, "Don't meddle in your own business."
Well, he doesn't care, how about taking them to the temple fair when they enter the city.The friendship in Ning Qiumo's heart is that friends of friends eat, drink and have fun together, and there are two whole streets of temple fair snacks. They will definitely like it.
