Chapter 31 The Queen and Her Romantic Prince

...

"Shopkeeper, we want five copies of "The Queen and Her Romantic Prince." Several women walked into Fengyuezhai together and whispered to the bookstore shopkeeper.

Before the shopkeeper could answer, another group of women came in.

They whispered in the same voice: "Shopkeeper, do you still have "The Queen and Her Romantic Prince"? We want six copies."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said loudly: "No more, no more."

Everyone's face changed, and they spoke quickly without caring about being embarrassed.

"How could it be, is it really gone?"

The shopkeeper: "No, it's really gone, ladies."

"Alas, we are late."

"Shopkeeper, please look carefully to see if there is another book missing in the corner."

The shopkeeper said firmly: "That's impossible, the book has never been put in the corner."

"Sister, we have all heard this legendary story, don't rush to buy it, just let the maid buy it tomorrow morning."

"My father is going on a long journey, I want him to bring a few books to my cousins ​​far away, and we agreed to share the happiness."

"Oh, what should I do?"

"Forget it, come early tomorrow, I just hope my father doesn't go out so early."

Everyone's words were full of regret and loss, and a little anxious.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Then ladies, you can come earlier tomorrow, maybe there will be more."

There was really nothing they could do, so everyone could only go home disappointed.

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of a group of ladies leaving with regret, and he felt extremely happy.

I didn't expect that a few days ago, a maid who looked like she was from a wealthy family found me and said she wanted to sell me a storybook.

The shopkeeper was used to it. There were many ladies in Nanjin who liked to write storybooks.

Everyone wrote secretly. After all, this kind of thing was not presentable for their wealthy families, but they loved to read it.

After writing, they let the maids come out quietly and sell it to him.

Some did it to make money, and some just liked to write and pass the time.

No matter what, it is a win-win for him.

But this time, this legendary story really surprised him.

The story is bizarre and fresh, the content is wonderful, the writing is fluent, fascinating, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

The maid only showed him a small part of the front.

He was amazed and really liked it. He wanted to buy it at a fixed price, but was rejected by the maid.

The maid said she wanted to get a share. If the cooperation is pleasant this time, more excellent books will be published in the future.

The shopkeeper thought about it and agreed.

He just got this manuscript the day before, and another person came with a similar manuscript the next day.

Compared with the one received yesterday, the story is roughly the same, but the latter one is not as good as the former one at all, and it seems to be heard halfway.

The shopkeeper was suspicious and asked without revealing anything.

It turned out that this was a story that the princess told casually at the banquet.

He understood immediately.

The one in front was probably the one of the queen... OK, OK, it really is the princess, so talented.

He glanced at the fake goods carelessly, "Go back and tell your young lady that I dare not accept something that is sold out halfway."

The maid hadn't finished her words yet, and her young lady said that she didn't need to pay for it.

The shopkeeper continued, "Our store only accepts originals, and I received a copy of the original yesterday."

The maid ran away when she heard it.

As soon as the maid left, someone came to ask if there was a book about the queen and the knight.

The shopkeeper immediately perked up and handed the original copy to the person in charge of copying and rubbing, and worked overtime to produce it.

A few days later.

"Princess, the storybook is finally out. It was sold out in one morning today. This is a copy that the shopkeeper reserved for you."

Bai Zhu handed "The Queen and Her Romantic Young Master" to the princess who was lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed.

She pursed her lips, she was embarrassed to read the name of the storybook given by the princess.

The day after returning from the banquet, the prince left for a long time before the princess got up from the bed.

In the afternoon, the princess was bored lying in the pavilion feeding goldfish, and suddenly looked up and asked her to prepare paper and pen, she wanted to write a storybook.

Bai Zhu's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she hurried to prepare it.

At the banquet, she heard a few young ladies discussing that someone would write down the stories told by her princess and they would buy them. She was a little annoyed at the time.

This is the story of her princess, why can others write it?

Lu Jiuwan opened her eyes and took the storybook.

She flipped through it casually and looked satisfied.

Her short story was published.

...

For several days in a row, "The Queen and Her Charming Boy" sold like crazy, and even resold it.

The discussion about this storybook has been steadily increasing.

At first, the discussion was about the storybook itself.

Women's rooms everywhere, houses for gatherings, teahouses for women's dates, and beautiful outdoor dining places...

They not only read by themselves, but also have to exchange their own thoughts after watching with each other, and only when they get everyone's enthusiastic response can they feel satisfied.

This storybook is very different from the popular storybooks they have read.

First, the content structure is simple, the paragraphs are very short, and it is very easy to read.

Compared with the current long paragraphs, it is a bit uncomfortable to read this new form at the beginning, but after a while, it feels very comfortable.

Second, the writing is simple and fluent, not obscure, without too many unfamiliar words, and can be understood without guessing. It is really more intimate than the current vernacular books, and has been enthusiastically praised by many ladies with low literary level.

Third, the content is humorous and makes people happy physically and mentally. Many people in the deep palace can hardly smile sincerely after reading it. In addition, the characters created in it are very vivid and have personality charm, which makes people yearn for it.

Fourth, and the most important point, it directly describes the love between men and women.

The vernacular books that are popular nowadays mainly write about heroes coming out of the mountains, honest officials solving cases, demons, ghosts, and anecdotes...

The stories about love are relatively obscure and shy, and they are written in a evasive way. Obviously, what they want to express most is the love between men and women, but they have to go around in a big circle.

Integrate love into all kinds of stories, and you need to open your eyes to find it.

People simply cannot write intimate scenes.

Girls of noble families dare not write about it, because if it is revealed that she wrote it, her reputation will be ruined.

Other writers rarely write about it, not because they don't want to, but because they are too noble and disdainful.

Because most of their submissions are under their real names, it is inevitable that they will be laughed at by their peers if they write to attract attention.

In addition, there are also those particularly explicit love stories, but they are generally sold secretly and are not in the public circle.

And "The Queen's Romantic Prince", just from the name of the storybook, is very different from the previous ones, and it is so straightforward that the girls blush and can't say it.

People who heard the story that day bought the storybook.

After reading it again, they not only found that the quality of the storybook far exceeded their expectations, but also found that the content of the storybook was richer than the story told by the princess, with many more details.

Especially the intimate scenes.

Everyone was silent on the surface, but cheered in their hearts.

Chapter 32: The Heart of Lust

...

The heated discussion about the storybook even went to the author of the storybook.

The story was narrated by the princess at a banquet one day, and everyone knew it long ago.

As for who provided the manuscript to Fengyuezhai, no one said it, but everyone knew it.

The story could be written like this, and no one else could copy it except the original author.

So, after the last time she was praised for her stunning appearance and kind heart at the banquet, Lu Jiuwan once again became a hot search in Nanjin.

But this time, there were mixed reviews.

Many people praised her: The princess of the King of Nanjin was extremely talented, well-versed in poetry and books, and was the most talented woman in Nanjin.

A few people chirped behind their backs: It is not worthy of being in a refined place, it is a disgrace to one's status!

Painting building by the lake.

Di Jiang was discussing something with Di Xun, Xie Mingke, and two other middle-aged men.

"Prince, the storybook you asked for." Mu Bai entered the room and saw that everyone was drinking tea calmly, and they must have just finished discussing something.

So he stepped forward and handed a copy of "The Queen's Charming Young Man" to the prince.

He really admired the princess.

Let's not talk about the content first, just talk about the title of the book, how did the princess get it?

Let's talk about the content.

I haven't heard of the original work, but I have heard people talk about it briefly.

He had finished reading it on the way back from buying books.

It was so straightforward and bold, with flirtatious glances and lots of ambiguity...

No wonder the ladies in the palaces of Southern Jin were so excited after reading it.

Even when this was handed to the prince, he felt that it was very inconsistent with the prince's temperament.

Di Jiang raised his hand to take it, and when he saw the title of the book, his mouth twitched, and he wanted to put the book into his sleeve.

Di Xun was sharp-eyed and said jokingly, "The Queen's romantic and handsome young man? Brother, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and your taste has changed so much?"

"I don't know if you still remember that you asked me to read less toys and funeral notes before?"

Di Xun had been outside to inquire about the whereabouts of the imperial edict during this period, and didn't know that this was actually the work of his own sister-in-law.

Di Jiang looked at him and put the things away expressionlessly.

Xie Mingke chuckled and said to Emperor Xun, "That's not an ordinary toy."

Emperor Jiang glanced at him and Xie Mingke shut up.

Emperor Xun was excited when he heard it, "What good thing? And it's hidden."

A middle-aged man next to him wanted to speak several times.

He hesitated, exchanged glances with the people around him, and finally spoke.

"Have you heard many rumors about the princess recently?"

Emperor Jiang looked up at him, "Just say whatever you want to say, Right Prime Minister."

Right Prime Minister Gu Yong said respectfully, "I heard that this story..."

Oh, the princess gave him a good name, and he was embarrassed to read it.

"The whole city of Nanjin is saying that this was originally written by the princess..."

Emperor Xun spit out a mouthful of tea, "What did you say?"

Xie Mingke raised his lips, that's right, he has read it, it's well written.

Let's not talk about the content first, the form is not standard, but it makes people feel comfortable to read.

As for the content, it is bold and straightforward, the writing is fluent, and the words are fresh and natural.

Live up to the rumors, the princess does have some real talent and knowledge.

Gu Yong looked at Di Xun helplessly, and then said to Di Jiang: "I heard many people are talking about it, saying that the princess wrote a story book, which is not in line with her status. What's more, some people said that the things written by the princess are misleading, and the real dragon emperor is supreme, and the queen in the princess' story book is extremely rebellious."

"I don't know whether the princess was instructed by someone or it was unintentional. I am worried that it will implicate the prince and cause a big mistake."

Another minister stepped forward and saluted, "Prince, what Prime Minister Gu said makes sense."

Di Jiang leaned back leisurely and said lightly: "Then bring the person who misleads the people to me, and I will personally examine what his intentions are."

Gu Yong:...

Minister:...

Di Xun:?

"The prince's family affairs, we should not interfere, but the princess..." The princess is Lu Yushi's daughter.

Di Jiang: "Since it is a family matter, and it is the daughter's interest, who dares to interrupt so inappropriately, and interfere with my family affairs without my permission, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Yong also thought at first that it was just a trivial matter of his daughter, and it would not rise to the point of disrespecting the royal family.

But he was also worried that if too many people said it, it would inevitably give people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Since the prince was determined, he couldn't do anything about it.

But the two were also curious. It was said that the prince was very fond of the princess. Could it be true?

This, there might be something he didn't know.

"Brother, it's that woman again!" Di Xun was very angry. What a trick.

"Brother, if you mess up your plan because of a woman, it will endanger your brother and your own life. Think carefully!"

Xie Mingke said softly: "The prince must have his own plan, but he may not be able to say it."

Emperor Xun glared at him, "My brother is obviously obsessed with sex. Why do you persuade me instead of him?"

Xie Mingke touched his nose. He felt that the prince was not that kind of person. The prince must know everything in his heart.

For example, the antidote he researched is about to produce results.

By then, the princess will not be controlled by others, and she can help the prince instead.

Di Jiang sighed slightly, "You don't have to worry about my family affairs. I know everything in my mind. Things are not what you think."

"I have my own plan for what you are worried about."

"Yes." Gu Yonghe and the ministers responded hurriedly.

The words of the prince are never questioned.

The majesty of the prince makes people dare not despise him.

"I will take my leave."

"I will take my leave too."

The two left.

Di Xun and Xie Mingke were left behind.

Di Jiang glanced at the two.

Di Xun folded his hands, "I have worked so hard outside for so long, am I not worthy of my brother to welcome me? I will go to your house for dinner today."

Di Jiang was silent for two seconds, stood up and walked out.

Di Xun raised his chin towards Xie Mingke, motioning him to follow.

Xie Mingke shook his head slightly.

Di Xun narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "You must go."

If you get beaten, there is someone beside you to persuade you.

Di Jiang went out and got on the carriage.

He didn't care about the two people following behind him.

He took out the storybook from his sleeve and his eyes fell on the name.

He shook his head helplessly, how did he come up with it?

Then he opened it and read the content in small sections. He was a little uncomfortable and it didn't fit his daily reading habits.

However, after a while, he felt that reading it was very smooth.

His calm face turned red without him noticing.

This place is not far from the palace, and he has not finished reading the storybook yet, but he has already arrived home.

Mu Bai looked at the prince getting off the carriage, his ears turned red, and he lowered his head quickly, afraid of laughing out loud.

He prayed in his heart: The princess must stand on the side of the prince.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to the prince's pure love.

Di Jiang glanced at him accurately.

Mu Bai adjusted his expression immediately.

"Fine one month's salary."

Mu Bai: ...

Yuan Cang was puzzled, "Did you cause trouble?"

Mu Bai: ...

Di Jiang strode into the palace, and Di Xun and Xie Mingke coughed lightly behind him, followed behind with their heads held high.

When Di Jiang came back, he went into the study.

The housekeeper and the servants greeted the two men who were full of vigor and vitality.

Di Xun ordered dishes without hesitation and said to the housekeeper: "I don't eat well every day outside, so I want to have a good meal tonight. Housekeeper Zhou, please make arrangements for me and bring all the delicious food."

Housekeeper Zhou nodded with a gentle smile, "Yes, serve some snacks to the little prince and Lord Xie first, and I will arrange dinner now."

Di Xun nodded, "By the way, tonight is my welcoming banquet, and everyone who should be invited in this mansion should be invited."

The housekeeper thought about it and understood, "Yes, I will ask someone to invite the princess later."

Chapter 33 Let you take it at once

Lu Jiuwan has been researching antidotes for some time, and has also actively detoxified her body through Western medicine.

Today, she had a comprehensive physical examination, and the situation is much better than before.

The reason why she detoxified her body on the one hand and researched antidotes on the other hand was to be on the safe side.

In addition, after her research, she found that the effect could be better if the proportion of the antidote was changed.

After further research, she might be able to prepare a completely curative antidote.

Before the one-month deadline, she will definitely make the antidote.

These antidotes, even if she doesn't use them, will definitely be useful.

It has been more than ten days since she came back from the banquet, and the remaining time is enough.

On the second day, she started writing a novel. She wrote for two or three days and then finished it.

She gave it to the shopkeeper of Fengyuezhai to make a copy. After some time, she started selling it.

It was very popular after being sold for a few days.

Lu Jiuwan thought about her previous worry that she would not have a job after leaving the palace.

Now she has one. If she leaves here in the future, she can make a living by writing novels.

She was taking a chocolate ice cream from the space when she heard Bai Tao reporting outside.

"Princess, someone from Yunheyuan said that you are invited to have dinner at Yunheyuan tonight."

During this period, Dijiang always came to eat.

She talked about the one-sided love vividly.

Mainly, it was colorful.

Every night when he stayed here, Dijiang would always bring a new gift.

Those who didn't know the relationship between the two would probably think it was money for prostitution.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuwan put the ice cream back into the space.

She clapped her hands, touched the orchid hairpin on her head, and touched the new earrings on her ears, which he gave her yesterday.

"Okay." It's time to pamper him.

She walked towards Yunhe Courtyard slowly and steadily.

The setting sun made Yunhe Courtyard look magnificent and majestic.

As soon as Lu Jiuwan stepped onto the steps, she saw Dijiang coming out from the corner of the corridor.

She raised her chin as a greeting.

Dijiang saw her chin up from a distance and knew she was greeting him.

Thinking of the palace banquet in a few days, he had a slight headache.

He wanted to find a etiquette nanny for her, but he was worried that she would be angry like last time.

He stood there, watching her walk over with big strides, silent.

"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go and have dinner."

Lu Jiuwan stepped forward, took his hand without hesitation, and walked towards the dining room.

Dijiang lowered his head and looked at the delicate jade hand holding his hand.

Feeling the softness, tenderness, warmth and strength of her hand, the worries in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Dixun looked at the table full of delicacies, drooling.

He used to eat every day and didn't care.

After being hungry for a few days, he became quiet.

"Why haven't my brother and that woman come yet? They are used to having enough food and clothing, and don't know what it feels like to be hungry."

As soon as Lu Jiuwan walked to the door, he heard a sound inside.

She stopped and looked up at Dijiang, "Who?"

"Xiaoxun and Xie Mingke."

Lu Jiuwan let go of his hand and nodded, "Your ignorant brother?"

"...Yeah."

"I'll go back to eat. I don't want to quarrel with him."

Dijiang grabbed her hand, "Just eat here. Don't pay attention to him."

Lu Jiuwan looked at him quietly, and then said, "If he makes trouble and cries, don't blame me."

Dijiang:...

She stepped in.

Dijiang followed behind.

The two people at the table saw her and stood up.

"Prince, Princess." Xie Mingke saluted.

Dixun cleared his cough. Why did he stand up?

The four people sat on each side.

Dijiang sat at the first seat with a domineering and calm manner.

Lu Jiuwan, as usual, picked up her chopsticks without being asked.

Dixun saw that his brother hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, but she did it first, breaking the rules!

His brother was indifferent.

He was really mad at him!

He picked up his chopsticks and also picked up the dishes, with big movements on purpose.

Lu Jiuwan glanced at him, ignored him, and ate by herself.

Dijiang also picked up his chopsticks and said to Xie Mingke, "Let's eat."

"Yes."

Xie Mingke regretted not really getting rid of the little prince, and was thinking of coming to watch the show.

But now, except that the little prince was moving more big and expressing his dissatisfaction all the time.

Everyone was eating quietly, which was fine.

However, just after he finished saying this in his heart...

The two pairs of chopsticks simultaneously grabbed the same red-roasted lion head.

Di Xun and Lu Jiuwan both looked up at each other at the same time, without loosening their chopsticks.

Di Jiang paused in his chewing. How did the two of them manage to grab a piece of lion head on such a big table with so many heads on the plate?

His eyes moved between the two of them, and he felt sparks flying between them.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

He retracted his gaze and continued to eat calmly.

Xie Mingke's eyes widened slightly, "No, Your Majesty, you don't care?"

He was slightly stunned.

Forget it.

Then he didn't care.

Lu Jiuwan didn't want to be as childish as this kid.

But he was unhappy with her for no reason, which made her even more unhappy.

When a kid doesn't like you and always wants to bully you, and you pretend to be indifferent, the child will not stop his bad behavior, but will think that you dare not do anything to him, and become more and more arrogant.

Either don't deal with it, or make you submit once and for all.

She must teach this naughty child a lesson today.

The two secretly exerted their strength, as if whoever wins the lion's head will prove who wins.

At this time, Lu Jiuwan certainly won't get used to him.

She tried to pinch it towards herself, Di Xun frowned and tried to pinch it towards him.

The lion head is giving me a headache, it's going to rot, can you cut me in half?

Di Jiang saw a sly look in Lu Jiuwan's eyes and leaned back a little silently.

The next moment, she let go of the chopsticks.

Congratulations to the little prince for getting a lion head.

The lion head was snatched by him as he wished.

And she rolled into his arms intimately, and the soup splashed all over him.

The moon-white long gown with gold edges was simple and elegant, but at this moment it was dyed with gorgeous colors.

Di Xun's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly. His lion head rolled down slowly, jumped, and bounced on the tip of Xie Mingke's shoe.

When he couldn't bear to look back, he saw his clothes that were not spared, and Xie Mingke's heart choked.

Di Xun was shaking with anger, and pointed at Lu Jiuwan, "You! You!"

Di Jiang sat still, and it didn't matter to him.

Lu Jiuwan sat there indifferently, looking at Di Xun's clothes and said with disdain: "Eh, it's so dirty."

Di Xun immediately flew into a rage.

He used chopsticks as a weapon and flew towards Lu Jiuwan, "I'll kill you!"

Lu Jiuwan dodged sideways, flowing like water.

At this time, Di Xun had already rushed in front of her.

She stood up to meet his attack.

The two of them fought out of the dining room in tacit understanding.

Chapter 34 She was the one who bullied me, why didn't you beat her up

They couldn't vent their anger, so neither of them showed mercy, and the two were as fierce as fire and water.

Di Xun attacked very quickly, and Lu Jiuwan was not slow either, countering his moves.

He used his hand as a blade and slashed at her neck. Lu Jiuwan quickly raised her hand to block it, and the other hand swiftly attacked his abdomen. Di Xun turned over nimbly to avoid it.

Lu Jiuwan swept the fallen leaves horizontally, and the fallen leaves flew up, blocking Di Xun's vision. She took the opportunity to attack.

Di Xun retreated, turned defense into offense, swept out horizontally, and kicked her in the face.

Most people would raise their hands to block.

But Lu Jiuwan disliked the dirty soles of his shoes, and retreated as fast as possible, dodging, turning around and kicking sideways, and before Di Xun could retract his power, he was hit hard on the butt.

He was angry and careless.

He quickly adjusted his state.

His expression was less angry and arrogant, and more serious and serious.

He locked his eyes on Lu Jiuwan, rushed up quickly, and filled his fists with power, attacking with every punch.

Every punch was full of wind, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lu Jiuwan frowned and defended, this kid is quite powerful.

Yunhe Courtyard, flowers, plants and trees are lush and beautiful.

The afterglow of the sunset illuminated the courtyard, beautiful and harmonious.

Except for the two people who were almost beaten to a pulp.

It ruined the scenery.

Xie Mingke stood under the eaves, folded his arms, and gave up the idea of ​​going forward to persuade them to fight.

These two people were not easy to deal with.

He didn't want to be cannon fodder.

The maids and servants in the corridor watched with relish.

Except for Baizhu and Baitao, the two looked anxious, hoping that the princess would win, but also worried that the princess would win.

Baitao glanced at Lord Mu Bai, who was watching the excitement with his hands folded and smiling, and Lord Yuan Cang, who looked indifferent.

Looking to the right, Lord Xie also folded his hands, looking like he was watching a good show.

No one looked worried.

It seemed as if she and Baizhu were worrying for nothing.

Does the prince not care?

Oh my god, these two people's arms are about to fly sparks, and their feet are about to kick smoke.

Bai Tao was so anxious that she was about to stamp her feet.

Dijiang finished his dinner elegantly.

Then he walked out of the dining room and walked to the eaves of the corridor.

He watched the two people's quick fight with interest, and neither of them could take advantage.

Xiaoxun was trained by him personally. He was smart and agile, with extraordinary skills and few rivals.

So he let him go out to find the traces of the imperial edict without worry.

He had not seen his princess's skills yet, and he underestimated her skills.

That's good, so he won't be bullied.

Since we are going to fight, no one should interfere today, let them fight to their heart's content.

Each of Emperor Xun's moves was powerful and agile, and he pressed forward with a palm-piercing and slashing move, unstoppable.

The palm wind blew past, and the sleeve blew away the orchid jade hairpin on Lu Jiuwan's head.

Seeing that the hairpin was thrown away by the sleeve and was about to fall to the ground, it was almost impossible for the jade hairpin to fall intact.

Lu Jiuwan didn't think at all, and quickly reached out to catch it.

A trace of pride flashed in Emperor Xun's eyes, and he took the opportunity to attack.

The next moment.

No one saw clearly how the prince quickly appeared in front of the princess, caught the jade hairpin, and kicked Emperor Xun away.

The jade hairpin was in hand, and it fell to the ground with a thump.

Lu Jiuwan turned around and saw Di Xun on his buttocks, raised his eyebrows, and kept silent.

"Brother, what are you doing!"

"Why did you hit me!"

"She was the one who bullied me, why didn't you hit her?"

Di Xun sat on the ground, looking angry and very dissatisfied.

Xie Mingke walked over and helped him up from the ground.

"You come to someone's house to bully his wife, and you still have to be nice. The prince is used to you."

Emperor Xun was helped up and pushed him away angrily, "How can she be worthy!"

Xie Mingke: "Whether they are worthy or not is up to the prince. Besides, the hairpin you almost broke just now was bought by the prince with a huge sum of money."

Anyway, he believed that the prince would not be foolish to be nice to someone whose identity was questionable. He must have his own plans.

"You spent a huge sum of money to buy her a broken hairpin?" Emperor Xun was so angry that his nose was sulking.

"Between me and her, you can only choose one!"

Lu Jiuwan couldn't tell whether he was jealous or simply disliked him.

Di Xun looked at Di Jiang stubbornly, wanting to hear his choice.

Di Jiang's eyes were full of majesty, "Go back and change clothes."

Di Xun was shocked and disappointed, and left with his sleeves swung, "Brother, you disappoint me so much."

After walking about ten meters, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said angrily: "I haven't eaten yet!"

However, his brother didn't say a word, and looked at her indifferently.

Instead, Xie Mingke came forward and pushed him into the house, "Come on, come on, eat first, anyway, we are all family, there is no rush to change clothes, eat first."

Di Xun glared at Lu Jiuwan, and went into the house to eat reluctantly.

Di Jiang looked down at the hairpin in his hand.

Slowly turned sideways and saw Lu Jiuwan quietly staying beside him.

He raised his hand to lift her chin and looked into her eyes.

"You are quite skilled. But in close combat, you are not as strong as Xiaoxun, so you will suffer. Next time you meet such an opponent, you must be flexible and adaptable."

Lu Jiuwan: "Hmm?"

Di Jiang released her chin and showed her the hairpin, "For example, use the hairpin on your head as a weapon."

Lu Jiuwan: ...

Your good brother will cry if he hears this.

He put the hairpin back on her head, looked at her with satisfaction, and took her hand, "Go in and eat."

When the two came in, Di Xun was turning his grief into appetite and eating with big mouthfuls.

The lion heads were all piled in his bowl.

The two sat down.

Dijiang ordered: "Come here, serve the princess and the young prince."

Lu Jiuwan paused with the chopsticks she stretched out in the air, turned her eyes left and right, and then quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth.

She slowly put down the chopsticks and chewed with her mouth bulging.

Seeing this, Dixun also quickly picked up a chopstick of his favorite Dongpo pork.

This is called fairness.

Two maids who served the dishes were in place. I don't believe that the two people can fight again.

Lu Jiuwan saw him take a bite, looked at herself, and chewed hard twice.

She turned her head lightly and asked Dijiang, "Is "Journey to the West" good?"

Dijiang had already eaten his fill, but he just accompanied the two of them, fearing that they would fight again.

Put down the teacup, nodded, "Not bad."

Emperor Xun:?

What Journey to the West?

Lu Jiuwan said sincerely: "Suddenly I thought of a very incredible legend I heard a long time ago. Do you want to listen to it?"

Emperor Jiang looked at her sincere look quietly...

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his silly brother actually raised his ears.

Usually I think he is smart, stable and mature.

I don't know why he seems to be mentally deficient and irritable when he meets Lu Jiuwan.

Without waiting for Emperor Jiang to say whether he wants to or not, Lu Jiuwan started.

"There is a place in the world called Little Sledge."

"The women there all wear wide, fluffy skirts, beautiful and exquisite."

"There are many beautiful castles in their country, built with bricks or stones, tall and magnificent, and decorated with jewelry."

Emperor Xun's eyes lit up, he had never heard of it before, it was a bit interesting.

Go on, why is it so hard to believe?

Chapter 35 The damned woman must have done it on purpose

Di Jiang saw that Di Xun's eyes were no longer twitching, and his expression was slightly satisfied.

He was also satisfied that Lu Jiuwan could take the initiative to tell stories to ease the conflict between the two.

Xiao Xun didn't have any special hobbies, he just liked to read legendary stories and listen to some interesting legends.

Seeing that several people at the table were listening with their ears erect, Lu Jiuwan continued to talk.

"There is a very beautiful palace there, magnificent and exquisite, built with red bricks, three stories high, with more than 2,000 rooms."

"One of the halls is called the Mirror Hall, with more than 400 floor-to-ceiling mirrors inlaid on the walls, reflecting the murals on the dome, magnificent and luxurious."

Such a building has indeed never been seen before.

Emperor Xun's eyes brightened.

"But..."

Emperor Xun:?

"None of these more than 2,000 rooms is a toilet... not a single toilet."

The three people at the table were silent.

"Isn't this palace inhabited by people?" Xie Mingke asked.

"Live, there are many people living in it, just like your palace, where the most noble people of their country live."

"Then, people have three urgent needs, how to solve this?"

Lu Jiuwan looked at him and said, "Not only is there no toilet here, but there is no toilet in every household there."

"Ah?" Di Xun made an unbelievable sound.

Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Seeing their reaction, Lu Jiuwan felt a little refreshed.

"They never knew what a toilet was."

Everyone in the house: ...

"Do you want to ask them where to solve it?"

Di Xun nodded hesitantly.

Lu Jiuwan looked at Xie Mingke, who was also waiting for an answer.

She looked at Dijiang again, and Dijiang retracted his gaze and picked up the teacup.

"Didn't I say that the women there wear beautiful and exquisite fluffy big round skirts, with linings inside to support the skirts, so that they can poop and pee anytime and anywhere. And they don't have to get the hem of the skirts dirty."

"Ahem~" Dijiang was choked by a mouthful of tea, and he had never lost his composure like this before.

Dixun was petrified, his mouth opened wide.

Xie Mingke was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

"They poop anywhere and at any time. So that beautiful palace is full of shit and urine."

"Not only in the palace, but also in the palace, men there need to wear high heels when they go out, because they often step on shit on the street and want to avoid dirtying their feet."

"Why is there shit on the street... Can they do it on the street?" Xie Mingke didn't believe it.

Lu Jiuwan: "If they want to poop, they can poop. They have the right to poop freely. Carrying the poop in the poop bucket and pooping it directly down from the upper floor is as normal to them as eating."

"It is common for people passing by below to be drenched. Oh, they don't take a bath. They basically don't take a bath, and they can only take a few baths in their lifetime, so they will create a lot of perfume to cover up the stench on their bodies."

"Civilized people will poop in a bucket and dump it out. The foot of the city wall is a good place to pile up shit. When the enemy comes to attack, they can climb up the city tower by stepping on their shit piles."

The corners of Emperor Xun's mouth twitched wildly, and he chuckled again and again.

"The moat is the best place for them to pee, poop and empty their poop buckets. It can be considered a contribution to them. At least the golden color in the river improves the resistance of the moat..."

"Goo! Goo!" Di Xun covered his mouth, stood up and ran out.

Xie Mingke also looked bitter and vengeful. He stood up and saluted the two of them hastily. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard his groaning.

The maids in the house all pursed their lips tightly, their faces were a little difficult to describe, and they were very similar to the reaction of carsickness.

Lu Jiuwan turned his head to look at Di Jiang and saw that his brows were wrinkled and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he had encountered trouble.

She comforted him cheerfully, "It's okay, it's far away from here, it won't stink you."

Di Jiang: ...

Does far away from here mean that this thing really exists?

It's simply absurd.

Lu Jiuwan picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food as if nothing had happened.

No one was bothering her, and she ate with great relish.

Di Jiang saw how relished she was eating, and knew that she had deliberately made it up to drive Xiao Xun away.

But how did she come up with these terrifying stories?

Lu Jiuwan knew that he didn't believe it, so while eating, she asked him, "Is it possible that what I said is true?"

Di Jiang: ...

"Shut up and eat."

Lu Jiuwan looked up and smiled, "Forget it if you don't believe it. The world is so big, time and space are flowing, and there are so many things you haven't seen."

Di Jiang looked at her with a distant look, as if he was missing many things he didn't know.

A feeling of being excluded made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He said, "Then tell me bit by bit. I will listen to it a little bit every day and I will finish it."

Lu Jiuwan glanced at him and thought for a while, "Okay, should it start from Pangu creating the world, or from the evolution of humans from apes to humans? Let me think."

Di Jiang listened to her words and felt that she had a wonderful idea. He was really looking forward to it.

...

Di Xun vomited all the way out of the Jin Palace.

He got on his own carriage and closed his eyes.

That damn woman must have done it on purpose.

She could make up such a disgusting story.

She is a ruthless person.

Today, he miscalculated that he didn't defeat her quickly during the fight and was kicked by her carelessly.

Just when he was about to gain the upper hand, he was kicked away by his brother.

This made him a little embarrassed.

I must increase my training and study hard when I go back. I don't believe I can't beat her to death next time.

By the way, what kind of story book is that romantic and handsome young man?

It is said that it was written by that woman.

I don't know what nonsense is in it.

I have to ask someone to get a copy to take a look tomorrow.

And that Journey to the West, by the way, I should find a chance to take a look today.

It's all because the story told by that stinky woman is too disgusting.

"Little Prince, you are back. Dinner is ready. Are you hungry?" The old steward smiled kindly and was very concerned.

Emperor Xun: ...

"No, no, ugh~ no appetite."

"Is the prince ill? Do you want to ask Dr. Xie to come and see him?"

Emperor Xun waved his hand and went to his residence.

"Ugh~"

I just hope I can quickly forget that weird story.

...

The next day.

The sky was pale.

Inside the hibiscus tent.

The woman lay softly on the man's broad and strong chest.

She was only wearing a pink bellyband, with the neck and back straps loose, exposing a large area of ​​white and tender skin, and a white and tender leg was placed on the man's waist.

A big hand was pressed tightly against her waist, and the woman slept very soundly.

When Dijiang woke up, he felt like a small mountain was pressing down on him.

I'm used to it.

He raised his hand and smoothed the messy long hair on her face, revealing her sleeping face.

After a while of waking up, he gently pushed her hand away, half sat up, lifted her legs, gently put them aside, and pulled the quilt to cover her.

Lu Jiuwan moved, raised her legs and wrapped one of his legs around him and continued to sleep.

Dijiang smiled slightly and patted her gently, "Let go of me, don't play tricks."

There was no movement in the quilt.

Dijiang twitched his legs, but they didn't twitch.

"Don't be willful."

Seeing that she ignored him.

Then she said, "Today is the Hundred Flowers Festival. Get up early, wash up, go outside and take a walk to see the excitement."

Lu Jiuwan's voice was full of nasal sounds, "Is it fun?"

"You will know if you go and see it. There are many people, and there is a lot of food, drink and fun. But you cannot accept flowers given to you by others, remember."

Lu Jiuwan then opened her eyes and yawned, "Then go and punch in. It's a rare trip."

What if she wears it back.

Punch in?

Dijiang found that she always said something he couldn't understand.

"Then get up and stretch your legs."

He put his hands under her armpits, picked her up, and sat her in his arms.

Every morning, because of Lu Jiuwan's nagging, Dijiang didn't have time to have breakfast and had to rush to court.

Chapter 36 How Innocent the Princess Is

When the curtains were all drawn.

Inside the imperial court, all the civil and military officials were dressed in their official uniforms and were standing solemnly and quietly for the morning court session.

On the golden dragon throne, a man was wearing a dragon robe, tall and solemn.

He looked a bit like Emperor Jiang, but his aura was totally different from Emperor Jiang.

Emperor Jiang was noble and elegant, dignified and steady, and he was majestic without anger, and his aura was full of righteousness.

This man sat on the throne, equally noble and domineering, but he was very different from Emperor Jiang.

He looked gentle and harmless, but he had a gloomy and murderous feeling.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

The officials were silent for a moment.

A man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

On the throne, Di Xuanyi nodded calmly.

"This matter is about the King of Jin..."

Hearing this, everyone raised their eyelids and looked at Di Jiang.

Di Jiang remained motionless and treated it calmly.

While the man was speaking, he also carefully glanced in the direction of Di Jiang and made up his mind to continue speaking.

"I shouldn't say too much, but if I ignore this matter, I'm afraid the impact will be serious. I heard that the Princess of Jin wrote a story book, which was widely circulated and has spread out of the city of Nanjin."

Di Xuanyi glanced at his uncle.

"There is nothing wrong with this matter, but the ideas conveyed in the story book may be harmful."

As he spoke, he took out a book "The Queen and Her Romantic Prince" from his arms and presented it respectfully.

The eunuch next to Emperor Xuanyi saw what the emperor meant, then hurried down to take it and presented it to him respectfully.

Emperor Xuanyi looked at the big black characters on the storybook and frowned slightly.

How could she write such a thing?

He took it and flipped through it casually.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the bold and outspoken content of this storybook, which is offensive to morals. Just talk about the Queendom in this storybook, which is a taboo and is disrespectful to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is a true dragon emperor, a man who stands tall and upright. And in the book, how can a little woman compare with Your Majesty. The whole country is made up of women, where do we men stand? Where do the blood and sweat of our men who defend our homes and the country go? In the long run, the impact will be far-reaching."

As soon as he finished speaking, several voices echoed, "We also think so. Princess Jin's behavior is indecent and disrespectful."

Emperor Xuanyi closed the storybook, with deep doubts in his heart. Why does he seem to have changed into a different person?

"Does the emperor's uncle have anything to say?" He looked at Emperor Jiang.

Emperor Jiang looked at the person who made the report with dignity, "I never thought that the book written by my princess Xian Yu Zhi Le could make Lord Li, Lord Lin, Lord Zhou, Lord Wang and Lord Zhao so worried."

Emperor Jiang read out the names one by one, and every time he read out a name, the heart of the person being read out was lifted.

"Your Majesty, I am just worried that such thoughts will harm the people."

"I am just worried. Some things should be prevented before they happen, not..."

The people beside Dijiang stood up and said righteously: "You are so scared by just a few words, and you still want to make a big fuss. It seems that you have read too few books."

"Why don't I find more books for you adults after the court session, so that you can exercise your character."

"Don't want to perform rituals after reading ghost legends, and don't want to mobilize troops to investigate after hearing bizarre rumors. How can you be so narrow-minded and impetuous and take on the responsibility of sharing the worries of the emperor?"

The faces of several people changed in fear.

Di Jiang replied slowly, "Don't worry, my lords. Since you are so free and the princess has some literary talent, I will write a storybook about the country of men in a few days. You can read it and relieve your worries."

My lords: ...

Officials: ...

Emperor Xuanyi looked at his uncle in surprise, "My uncle has always been reluctant to argue with others. Recently, I heard that my uncle dotes on the princess of Jin. It seems to be true."

But he didn't expect that his uncle, who had always been pure and unselfish, would do this for a woman.

She is indeed a charming killer. Even his uncle can't resist her.

Emperor Xuanyi blinked and his eyes became calm.

Dijiang: "No matter how the relationship between the prince and the princess is, it is my duty to protect her."

Emperor Xuanyi's eyes stayed on Dijiang's face, and he looked at him for a few times before retracting his gaze.

Gu Yong: "The princess was at home, and the disaster came out of nowhere, how innocent she is."

"A large group of respected ministers criticized a powerless woman behind her back, which is not gentlemanly. What's more, the topic they talked about is such an absurd topic."

Another group of people echoed, "Yes, such remarks, aren't they more harmful than the thoughts in the storybooks?"

"It's a rumor, the key is that some people are still ignorant and confused, and they believe whatever others say and are led by the nose. Fortunately, the emperor is wise and far-sighted."

Several people on the opposite side wanted to curse, but they didn't dare.

Emperor Xuanyi raised his hand, and the court was filled with the sound of a pin drop.

After the court session.

Emperor Xuanyi said to the people around him: "Go and ask Lu Yushi to come to see me."

...

Inside the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

Lu Jiuwan was combing her hair in front of the mirror.

Rose Smoke, lightly applied with a layer of delicate glitter, added a touch of clarity and agility.

After breakfast, Lu Jiuwan stepped out of the house and saw the maids and servants moving flowers and plants.

Her yard was really full of flowers.

"What festival is the Hundred Flowers Festival?" Lu Jiuwan asked when she remembered.

Bai Zhu: "The Hundred Flowers Festival is the favorite day for unmarried men and women. Usually, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. But on the Hundred Flowers Festival, everyone holds a bouquet of flowers. When they meet someone they like, they can give the bouquet to that person."

Lu Jiuwan doesn't understand, "It's just a bouquet of flowers. According to the current concept of marriage, if both parents are not satisfied, what's the point?"

"Besides, they dare to get married after meeting once on the street? They can't tell whether they are human or ghost. These girls are really brave."

Bai Tao: "It's not a flower that determines the lifelong relationship, but just a way to express their feelings. Sending flowers Of course, the person who receives the flowers will think twice before giving or receiving them, as for whether it will succeed or not. "

"It would be the best if it succeeds, and it will be a good story. If it fails, it will delay the future matchmaking, so women are still more cautious."

"More people will regard it as a good day to pray for blessings. Flowers represent beauty and hope to everyone."

"Just like for us, the Hundred Flowers Festival is just a lively and good day. Go out to see the excitement and relax."

Lu Jiuwan smiled, "Let's go and see the excitement."

The carriage drove away from the Jin Palace and stepped into the lively place.

The noise was getting closer and closer.

She lifted the curtain and looked out.

It was indeed very different from her usual outings.

On the wide street, pedestrians and carriages were endless.

Flowers are displayed in front of every house, vying for beauty and in all colors.

Flower stalls, flower shops, rouge and powder shops, food shops, grains, oils, cloths, snacks, calligraphy and paintings... a dazzling array of things.

The streets are crowded and noisy.

Women decorate their hair with flowers,

The breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Chapter 37 He smiled so coquettishly, was he trying to seduce her?

...

As soon as the carriage from Prince Jin's palace appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.

"It's the princess, right? I heard that the princess is extremely beautiful. It would be great if I could meet her."

"Princess Jin is such a noble person. How can you meet her whenever you want?"

"Where is the princess going? If we follow her, will we have a chance to meet her?"

"Shh! Follow the princess, you're going to lose your life!"

"You've said something wrong."

"Then, let's go?"

"Hmm? Where to?"

"To Qingfengxuan. Qingfengxuan is the busiest place during the Hundred Flowers Festival every year." He whispered, "The princess must be going to see the excitement."

"Brother Li is really smart."

The two of them walked towards Qingfengxuan, waving their fans, but their words fell into the ears of the people behind them.

"Princess? A beauty?" The man in blue waved his fan and said with interest.

"I heard that the Princess of Jin in Southern Jin is both talented and beautiful, and there is another interesting thing."

The man in blue looked at him.

The man immediately smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard a few people discussing a storybook, and this storybook was snatched up several times. The interesting thing is that this storybook was written by the Princess of the King of Southern Jin."

The man in blue found it interesting, "What an interesting woman."

...

"Princess, we have arrived at Qingfengxuan. This is the most lively place for the Hundred Flowers Festival every year. Every day, the nearby restaurants and teahouses are packed with people."

The prince is considerate. Lord Mu Bai came to send a message early, saying that he had booked a private room in Qingfengxuan.

Qingfengxuan was crowded with people, and carriages came and stopped in front of the door, stopped and left, and left and came again.

When the carriage from the palace arrived, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the carriage away with the driver in front and made room.

The waiter at the door ran into the house to inform, and the shopkeeper and the waiters who were free came out one by one to greet them.

The people passing by on the street stopped and watched curiously and eagerly, and the wide street soon became crowded.

Knowing that there would be many people today, Baizhu Baitao arranged a few more guards to follow when she went out, and now they were blocking the crowd to avoid collisions.

People on the upper floors and windows around Qingfengxuan looked out one by one, watching the bustle.

"Sister Yuqing, the princess is here." Liang Shurong stood in front of the window upstairs in Qingfengxuan and said to Gu Yuqing in the room.

She walked to the window and looked down, "The princess is here too?"

In another room, someone also leaned out.

"Why is she here too?"

"Who is here?" Lu Fangyao looked at Xiao Zhanying in confusion after hearing what she said, and her face suddenly changed, "Bitch!"

Xiao Zhanying: ...

"She is your sister and the princess, aren't you afraid that she will hear you saying this?" Brainless.

"Huh, would I be afraid of her? She's just a lowly bastard."

"Things are different now."

"How different can it be? She's just a..." Realizing that she had said something wrong, she quickly changed her words, "She's just a worthless bastard."

After the emperor made his move, as the concubine of a traitor, there would be no way for her to survive.

Let's see how long she can be rampant.

Baizhu opened the curtain, Baitao reached out to help, and a man in the carriage opened the curtain and came out.

As soon as Lu Jiuwan came out, she saw a sea of ​​people crowded around the carriage, and figures leaning out from the surrounding buildings.

At a daze, she thought it was a group of zombies, which almost made her draw her gun.

After a short silence, the chatter became more and more lively, with people pushing and shoving, and the short man in the back was very anxious.

"Let me see, is the princess really that beautiful?"

"Don't crowd me, I haven't seen her yet."

"Is this really the princess? She is really like a fairy. Don't step on my feet!"

"Let me see, let me see."

"The princess is so beautiful, ah ah ah ah ah, who the hell is pulling me?"

"I finally saw the princess, and she is as famous as she is."

"The princess looks so noble and dignified, it's really not... I dare to believe that the words were written by the princess herself. "

"I am now looking forward to the princess publishing another book. I will definitely buy it back and keep it well."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am almost tired of reading this book. Recently, many people have imitated this book, but they all end up with poor results. I hope the princess will be more diligent and write a new one soon."

Lu Jiuwan fluttered his ears and listened.

What?

Writing a book occasionally is a way to relax and cultivate one's character.

What do you want to do by expecting her to write? Find a class for her?

While thinking, he got off the carriage and headed towards Qingfengxuan.

The shopkeeper bowed happily to greet him.

"Princess, please come upstairs. The prince sent someone to say that he wants to reserve a good chamber for the princess this morning. I have prepared it."

Qingfengxuan is tall and magnificent, and there is a stage in the hall.

The orchestra is playing music and singing beside, and a group of women are dancing in the middle.

The stage is full of men and women drinking, drinking tea, chatting and joking.

At this time, everyone stood up, and the singing and dancing stopped, facing this side to show respect.

It feels like a leader is coming to inspect.

Lu Jiuwan glanced at it lightly as a response.

Go upstairs.

There are windows on both sides of the room, one side looks out at the street view, and the other side looks inward at the lobby.

The street is bustling with people coming and going.

There was singing and dancing in the lobby, and people were talking and laughing.

There were flowers in the house, and the table was filled with delicious fruits and vegetables.

Lu Jiuwan sat in front of the window, eating melon seeds and watching the singing and dancing in the lobby downstairs, leisurely and comfortable.

Well, well, she was getting more and more used to the days in this world.

She planned to live a hundred years.

Such a life could not be obtained in a lifetime, so she would enjoy it for two more days in this life.

An apple a day, and diseases would stay away from me.

He picked up an apple and took a bite.

The crisp bite sound echoed with the creaking sound of the room opposite suddenly opening.

Lu Jiuwan swept his eyes and saw a blue shadow sitting in front of the window.

She looked at the apple in her hand with disdain, took another bite, and threw it back on the table.

She hated eating apples the most, and would not eat them even if she lived to be a hundred years old.

She continued to eat melon seeds.

"Sir, the storybook you asked for."

Across from him, the young man in blue took the storybook handed to him by his subordinate.

When he saw the cover, his eyes were a little surprised and shocked.

He raised his head and looked across.

The woman was noble and dignified, quiet and beautiful.

He looked down again, "The Queen and His Charming Young Master"?

"Are you sure you didn't buy the wrong one?"

"I have confirmed it again and again, and I didn't buy the wrong one."

The young man in blue raised his eyebrows and looked across with interest.

What an interesting woman.

Looking at this book, and then looking at her, it seems that you can see a sense of agility and beauty in her quietness.

Lu Jiuwan noticed the line of sight, subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at him, and met his eyes.

The man in blue saw her looking straight at him, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, his expression became more playful, and extremely romantic.

I thought the woman opposite would be shy and avoid, but unexpectedly, she did not avoid her gaze at all, and even rolled her eyes.

Lu Jiuwan: "Stupid."

Smiling so coquettishly, are you trying to seduce her?

Although he looks good, he is not her type.

Dijiang is her type.

In love, don't disturb.

Chapter 38 Slut, let you seduce

...

The blue-clothed gentleman frowned to understand, what did she mutter?

She looked like she was disgusted, and that disgust made him suddenly fall into self-doubt and depression, because he couldn't figure out why the other party had that expression.

He claimed to be a handsome man with a noble status, so why was he disliked?

He didn't retract his gaze, and looked at this side more fervently, trying to see if he was wrong.

However, after a while.

He saw a red light spot flying quickly from somewhere else, shining straight into his eyes.

The red light spot was too dazzling, so he closed his eyes at once.

When he opened his eyes again, there were small black spots in front of him.

He was startled, what was it?

What happened to his eyes?

How come it's the same as if he looked up at the sun.

The blue-clothed man didn't look flustered, but his romantic side was gone.

He frowned and looked at Lu Jiuwan, the red light just came from her.

What on earth was it?

Lu Jiuwan quietly threw the laser pen back into the space and ate melon seeds indifferently.

She raised her eyelids and looked at the other side. The man kept blinking.

Slut, I let you release your energy, and now you can release it all the time.

Someone downstairs was talking loudly, attracting her attention.

"Now it's the part that everyone has been waiting for for a long time. The list of people who are interested in participating in the competition has been obtained..."

After the man finished muttering, a servant accompanied the piano to the stage, and then a woman walked up.

Lu Jiuwan looked familiar.

Lu Fangyao stood on the stage, looked around, and then looked up in the direction of Lu Jiuwan. Seeing Lu Jiuwan looking at her, she flashed a hint of pride and disdain.

The princess is here, and Miss Lu is also here.

Everyone is looking forward to the excitement.

"Everyone knows that Miss Lu is a great pianist. I heard that the princess is an excellent pianist, but I haven't heard it in person. I wonder who is better between the two sisters."

"Nonsense, of course it's the princess."

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway, it must be the princess. I heard that many people were moved to tears at the banquet that day. Who else has such a talent? Besides, the princess is quiet and gentle, how can the arrogant Miss Lu compare to her."

"The princess is a concubine."

"So what? You can't choose your birth, but she is married well now. Her status is much more noble than Lu Fangyao's. The key is that the prince is very fond of the princess. Isn't this more important than anything else?"

"Indeed, look at the princess going out, she is so majestic."

Lu Fangyao sat down.

The noises below became quieter.

No matter whether they were common people or royal nobles, everyone hoped that their strengths could be seen and admired by others.

But they were unwilling to show their strengths to those who were lower than them.

Therefore, on a day like the Hundred Flowers Festival, they could show themselves without being criticized by others.

It became an opportunity for many young ladies and masters from famous families to show their talents and gain a good reputation.

This naturally attracted countless people to come and watch.

However, those who could enter Qingfengxuan had to have at least some status, otherwise there would be no room.

The sound of the piano came from downstairs.

Those who knew the piano knew that this was a very difficult song, with rapid and numerous changes in techniques, and it was easy to play it wrong.

Lu Fangyao played the music with ease, and many people showed admiration on their faces.

However, for those who don't know how to play the piano, it's a bit boring, because the tune is not melodious and pleasant, and it's mainly about the mood.

How can people who don't know how to play the piano understand the mood.

Eh~ what kind of shit is that?

But seeing that the other people around him showed admiration on their faces, he could only shake his head and nod frequently.

Lu Fangyao saw that everyone below was listening attentively, and the smugness in his eyes became more and more intense.

Accidentally, he played a wrong note.

His face changed immediately, but then he thought, it is estimated that few people can hear it.

He played again with pride.

The song was finished.

"Good!"

"Good!"

The applause rang out.

Lu Fangyao stood up, pulled the corners of her mouth with pride and dignity, bowed, and looked at the room upstairs where Lu Jiuwan was.

Seeing Lu Jiuwan eating grapes leisurely, she felt angry.

After playing this one, the next one.

Playing the guzheng, the flute, the flute, displaying calligraphy and painting...

Lu Jiuwan saw several familiar faces.

Liang Shurong, Xiao Zhanying...

...

Dijiang came out of the government hall.

"Where are you going, my Lord?" Mu Bai asked.

Dijiang pondered for two seconds, "Go to Qingfengxuan."

Qingfengxuan.

Lu Jiuwan saw the shopkeeper enter the room next to the young man opposite her, and negotiate with the people at the window. Several people left, and then the curtain was lowered.

She glanced at it and didn't care much.

Downstairs, Gu Yuqing was playing the piano.

Her piano skills were superb, and the tunes were beautiful, making people intoxicated.

Gu Yuqing finished the song.

The whole performance was over.

There was a vase on each table. Whoever you thought had the best performance could draw a flower and put it into the corresponding vase on the stage.

In the end, whoever got the most flowers would be the most popular person this year.

Lu Fangyao saw from afar that there were only a few flowers in her vase, and she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

Finally, the host came on stage and happily announced the results.

Gu Yuqing got the most flowers and also received three thousand taels of silver.

Lu Jiuwan was a little envious, three thousand taels sounded like a lot of money.

"It is said that the princess is very good at playing the zither, and it sounds like heavenly music. Can you ask the princess to open everyone's eyes?"

I don't know who said this.

The audience immediately became excited and made requests.

"Yes, please ask the princess to open everyone's eyes."

"If we can hear the song "Daughter's Love", it will be no regrets."

"I would never dare to dream about it on ordinary days, but today is the Hundred Flowers Festival. If I can hear the princess's song, it would be really..."

Yuan Cang frowned, "Prince, do you want to calm down?"

Di Jiang raised his hand lightly, indicating that he would wait and see.

Lu Jiuwan felt the feeling of being praised for the first time, and felt a little guilty.

When these people spread rumors, they were afraid that others would not believe them, so they used exaggerated language.

As a result, everyone now thinks she is awesome.

She is definitely not as awesome as everyone says.

However, one thing she was proud of was that she knew a lot of famous songs, and the tunes were nice and the style was unique, which none of them had heard before.

Bai Zhu: "Princess, do you want to reject these people?"

Lu Jiuwan waved her hand, "What's wrong with playing a song for them? Today, this princess will have fun with the people, and ask them to bring up the pipa."

She couldn't be afraid, because it was related to dignity and Dijiang's face.

She only learned the guzheng, but the original body of this body was proficient in everything.

Bai Tao stood by the window sill and spoke with great momentum, "Our princess said that it is hard to refuse such a kind invitation. She came out to have fun with the people, so why not play a song. Please bring up a pipa."

Hearing that the princess was actually willing, the people below cheered and jumped for joy.

The blue-clothed young man looked over here in surprise. This princess is so popular.

He should listen carefully to see how good her piano skills are that so many people care about her.

Next door.

Di Jiang could see Lu Jiuwan sitting opposite him through the shadow of the gauze curtain. She was in a happy mood, with a gentle expression and a little expectation.

Chapter 39 I don't know who is my man?

The shopkeeper quickly asked someone to bring the zither and put it in front of the window.

Lu Jiuwan had already thought about it and chose the song to play.

The people downstairs were very excited, especially the group of people who couldn't put down the story of "The Queen and Her Charming Boy". They already admired the princess and were even more excited.

Looking up, seeing her come over and sit down, everyone became quiet.

In the silence, the noise outside was very obvious, far and near.

With her slender hands, she gently plucked the strings of the zither and played a song "Pipa Language".

The crisp and ethereal melody made the noise outside become distant and gradually inaudible.

Dijiang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the opposite side, with admiration in his eyes gradually overflowing.

The people below subconsciously raised their faces, showing surprise and brilliance.

The sound of the pipa is like the cold moonlight, high and far; it is also like the gurgling water at night, flowing quietly.

The faint sound of the piano brings back deep-seated nostalgia and regret, reaching the softest part of the heart.

Lu Jiuwan seemed to have returned to the past. After school, the radio studio would play this "Pipa Language".

"Oh~"

Unconsciously, he sighed softly.

It's not like a lifetime ago, it's really a lifetime ago.

A hand gently lifted a corner of the light veil opposite.

Dijiang watched her immersed in playing the strings from a distance, her eyebrows and eyes slightly sad, but unfortunately he could not see her secret.

His eyes were gloomy, and he wanted to see through her, but he was powerless.

It was not a song of great sorrow or joy, but the lingering worries were the most disturbing.

After the song ended, the whole audience was silent.

The noise outside slowly came in, pulling everyone back to reality.

The fierce applause sounded like firecrackers, followed by fierce exclamations and discussions.

"It's true that her reputation is worthy of praise. The princess's piano skills are unparalleled in the world."

"This song should only exist in heaven. How many times can it be heard in the world!"

"Such a novel song is the first time I've heard it. It will definitely be popular again."

"..."

After thousands of years of research and enrichment, music and musical instruments have become more sophisticated and have completely different styles.

When you first hear something new, especially if it suits everyone's taste, you will naturally be surprised and admire it.

The blue-clothed young man looked at her quietly.

If he said that he wanted to join in the fun at first just because he thought it was interesting and wanted to see what kind of woman this princess was.

Now he really thinks that this woman is very special.

Lu Fangyao was so angry that her face turned blue.

The guide asked her to play a song at first just to make her look bad in front of everyone, but she didn't expect that this jerk would be in the spotlight again.

So angry!

But there was nothing she could do.

"Princess, this song is heavenly, I wonder if it has a story like "Daughter's Love"?" Someone asked below.

Everyone raised their heads and waited for the answer.

Lu Jiuwan said without hesitation: "Yes."

Everyone was happy.

"Can you trouble the princess to open everyone's eyes?"

"Yes, can you trouble the princess to tell everyone?"

"It's better to write it as a storybook, so that we can keep it as a treasure."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion below.

Lu Jiuwan stood up and pressed her hand, "I still need to sort out this story. I haven't prepared it yet. You will see it later."

I can't let you get it for free.

If you make up a story at home, it will also be an income. +1 source of pension fund.

...

Going downstairs, Lu Jiuwan prepared to get on the carriage.

But a young man in blue reached out and stopped her.

He held a pot of flowers in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Today is the Hundred Flowers Festival, and flowers represent love. I fell in love with you at first sight. I give you this flower. Please accept it."

Lu Jiuwan took a step back and scanned him from head to toe.

The blue-clothed young man's smiling face gradually solidified, and he returned home, slowly frowning.

Which woman dared to stare at a man so bluntly?

If it were another woman, it would be considered a very uneducated behavior.

But Lu Jiuwan looked at him with scrutiny in her bluntness, disdain in her scrutiny, and boredom in her disdain.

This made him very uncomfortable, and he frowned and asked, "What are you looking at, young lady?"

After Lu Jiuwan looked at her, she said lightly, "You are not deaf or blind, are you tired of living?"

Blue-clothed young man: "...What do you mean, young lady?"

"Don't you know who is my man?" Everyone called her the princess, but he pretended to be stupid.

The young man in blue understood instantly, smiled, and said in a somewhat romantic way, "I don't care."

Lu Jiuwan looked at him again and saw the seriousness in his eyes.

She guessed that this person might have a low status, since he didn't even take Dijiang seriously.

Ignore him and treat him as a fool.

He was about to turn around and get on the carriage.

The young man in blue stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "The girl hasn't accepted my flowers yet."

"Take it away." Lu Jiuwan looked at him calmly and said lightly.

The young man in blue was slightly stunned and distracted for a moment.

The smile in his eyes deepened by two points, and his face became more unruly, "What if I don't?"

'Swish! '

Lu Jiuwan didn't have time to get angry yet.

A sharp sword came through the air, slicing through the air, and the sound made people shudder.

Lu Jiuwan stood still.

The blue-clothed young man's face changed instantly, and the sharp sword approached him like lightning. He leaned back to avoid it, turned his body, and the flower pot in his hand fell to the ground, and the sharp sword was deeply inserted into the ground.

A few strands of hair swirled in the air, and Lu Jiuwan blew it and blew it away.

After the blue-clothed young man stood still, he looked over there with a sullen face.

I saw the bustling crowd kneeling on the ground respectfully and prudently, and a tall and handsome man walked out from the kneeling crowd, with frost in his eyes and an imposing manner.

The blue-clothed young man narrowed his eyes dangerously, watching him getting closer and closer.

In just a moment, his guards reacted and attacked Dijiang.

Mu Bai and Yuan Cang responded quickly.

Instantly, swords flashed and sparks flew everywhere.

The scene was intense, and the people kneeling on the ground around them were frightened and quickly stood up and evacuated.

Lu Jiuwan tilted her head and saw the sharp sword inserted into the crack of the ground, and several tiles around her all collapsed.

She turned her head, took a step forward, passed by Dijiang, and got on the carriage that followed behind Dijiang.

The carriage was just pulled over, and the guards who drove the carriage glanced at it, but before they could see who got on, they only saw a woman's skirt.

He wanted to lift it up to see if it was a spy from the enemy...

But he didn't dare to do so. He hesitated for a while. When he saw the maids and guards beside the princess coming over, he understood.

It's the princess!

So who slipped away so quickly? It turned out to be the princess.

The prince's face was usually cold and calm.

He had never seen such an angry and ugly face. He lowered his head and waited obediently for the carriage.

The blue-clothed young man frowned and looked at him coldly.

Even though he knew the other party's identity, he still didn't show any worry or fear.

Di Jiang looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a disobedient dog.

The two faced each other head-on, staring at each other coldly, and neither of them gave in.

The blue-clothed young man looked at him.

"Are you the King of Jin?"

It is said that the King of Jin of Southern Jin is extremely handsome, good at both literature and martial arts, and holds a high position of power. He is the man that women in Southern Jin want to marry the most.

The man in front of him is tall and handsome, with a majestic and powerful aura.

Apart from the King of Jin, he can think of no one else.

Unlike him, Di Jiang looked at him indifferently and said, "Beiling Crown Prince Ye Yunzhou."

Chapter 40 He seduced me!

Ye Yunzhou was not surprised that Dijiang recognized him.

Instead, he laughed and reached out to touch the hair that had just been cut off. "Is this the way of hospitality in Nanjin?"

Dijiang: "When a distinguished guest comes to our house, we should treat him with courtesy. I just didn't expect that the dignified Prince of Beiling would do such a thing as teasing a woman in public."

"How dare I. It's just that everyone loves beauty. When I saw this woman was as beautiful as a flower, I just couldn't help but want to give her a bouquet of flowers to chat. How can it be said to be teasing when expressing feelings? "

"In Nanjin, beautiful people or things can only be viewed from a distance."

"Oh, why can only be viewed from a distance? Wouldn't it be more clear to see the beauty of them from a close distance?"

"Only things that belong to you can be viewed from a close distance. The customs of Nanjin and Beiling are different. Your Highness, please be careful about your words and deeds. The dignity and innocence of our Nanjin women cannot be challenged."

Ye Yunzhou was about to speak.

Beside him, Yuan Cang swung a sword to the opposite side, and while the other party was blocking, he flew and kicked him.

The man was kicked away and fell right in front of Ye Yunzhou.

Ye Yunzhou's eyes drooped slightly, his face returned to calm, and there was unhappiness in the calm.

"The hospitality of Nanjin is really refreshing."

Dijiang's face was unmoved, and he said calmly, "Stop it."

The two sides who were fighting with swords stopped immediately. Mu Bai and Yuan Cang put away their swords and stood behind Dijiang.

Dijiang: "It was reported that the prince's carriage would arrive in Nanjin City tomorrow, but it arrived a day earlier. I didn't take good care of him. I have made arrangements. Mu Bai, lead the prince and arrange food and accommodation."

Mu Bai: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I have urgent matters to deal with. After the prince's carriage enters the city tomorrow, I will entertain him well."

Ye Yunzhou watched Dijiang get on the carriage, and the carriage left without hesitation.

He retracted his gaze, as if he didn't care about Dijiang's neglect of him just now.

"Let's go."

Mu Bai: "Your Highness, please come this way. Our prince has ordered people to make all the arrangements."

...

Lu Jiuwan looked at Dijiang who entered the carriage.

Seeing his cold face, she silently withdrew her gaze.

In the future, when fighting with him, you must first bombard him with a cannon and injure him seriously before fighting him, otherwise you can't beat him.

Dijiang sat opposite her.

Lu Jiuwan's eyes were filled with his tall and straight figure.

Feeling his strong gaze, her eyes turned and met the man's eyes.

She said, "He is shameless and seduced a married woman. I refused."

Dijiang: "...Did he seduce you?"

"Yes!" Lu Jiuwan was decisive.

"Oh, why do you think so?"

"He smiled coquettishly and gave me flowers. Didn't he say that giving flowers today means he likes me? Isn't this considered seduction?"

"...Don't say bad words."

"Then do you think it's his fault?"

Di Jiang looked at her little face and found it lively and interesting. He nodded, "Yes, it's his fault."

Lu Jiuwan felt relieved after hearing this. He reached out and took a piece of cake from his car. He ate it while lifting the curtain to look out.

Following her movements, he looked outside and asked her, "Why did you refuse?"

Lu Jiuwan put down the curtain and turned back, "I was just inside, and he was sitting opposite me, smiling at me. So many people call me Princess, but he is deaf. I asked him..."

"What did you ask him?"

"I asked him if he knew who my man was."

Di Jiang raised his lips slightly, "How did he answer?"

Lu Jiuwan did not answer but asked, "Who is he? What's his background?"

"Beiling Crown Prince Ye Yunzhou."

"No wonder your name doesn't work."

Di Jiang raised his eyelids and looked at her quietly.

Lu Jiuwan didn't receive the signal, and just asked, "What is he doing here?"

After saying that, he remembered the palace banquet that Dijiang mentioned, "Attending the palace banquet?"

"Yes."

"What banquet?"

"The emperor's birthday, the longevity banquet, it's not an important day."

That's plotting against the law, treacherous behavior.

Lu Jiuwan didn't care, and asked him casually, "Going home?"

"Yes. The song you played today is very nice."

"Where are you?"

"Across from you."

"Oh, peeking at me?"

"...openly."

"Why don't you put down the curtain? Why don't you just come into my room?"

"I don't want to disturb your interest."

Lu Jiuwan expressed his disbelief with his expression.

...

The day of the longevity banquet.

The whole city was bustling.

The streets were decorated with lanterns and red silk, and the atmosphere was festive and lively.

Every household on the streets of Nanjin City replaced their birthday couplets with festive ones.

The pillars for hanging lanterns were repainted, and the lanterns had to be new and bright red.

Lu Jiuwan kept looking at them along the way, looking very happy. It didn't look like the emperor's birthday at all, but more like the Chinese New Year.

Of course, for many people, it did look like the Chinese New Year.

Three days of holiday, three days of charity.

Even the prisoners in the jail had better food than usual.

The sun was not so strong in the afternoon.

But under the sunlight, the majestic and vast palace was still illuminated with golden splendor.

Looking down at the palace, the ant-sized palace servants were hurrying between the palaces.

The number of patrol guards had increased several times, and the guards were extremely strict.

Outside the palace, tall carriages were parked one after another.

It seemed that many officials and their families had already entered the palace.

As soon as Dijiang's carriage arrived, several palace servants came forward to pay their respects and followed to serve.

Birthday banquets are usually dinners, so if you come early, you don't have to help with the busy work.

"Do you want to take a walk? It's still early for the banquet." Dijiang asked the people around him.

Lu Jiuwan nodded.

The palace servant was smart, and when he heard the words, he led the two people to the Yu Garden silently.

Generally, nobles outside the palace want to see the Yu Garden when they enter the palace, and it is expected that Princess Jin is no exception.

Seeing the Yu Garden with her own eyes, it is more gorgeous and magnificent than Lu Jiuwan imagined.

The two walked slowly.

Dijiang was not interested in these, but he didn't feel bored.

Seeing that the people around him liked to watch, he was also happy to see her quiet and slightly happy look.

Lu Jiuwan felt that it was rare to see someone watching seriously. The garden was full of vitality and the flowers were gorgeous. Looking at these beautiful scenery, her heart became peaceful.

She was so immersed that she didn't notice that Dijiang had fallen behind her by two steps.

The palace people followed Dijiang and didn't move, quietly lowering their heads and waiting.

Looking at the pink shawl under his feet, Dijiang bent down and picked it up.

He casually patted the place where he stepped on. The weather was dry, there was no mud, and it was not dirty.

Then he looked at Lu Jiuwan, who was walking forward alone, completely ignoring the people around him who didn't catch up.

Dijiang was a little helpless.

"Stop."

Lu Jiuwan turned around when she heard the voice, and the shawl on her head swayed with it.

Fragmentary light flashed into Dijiang's eyes.

She saw Dijiang holding her shawl in his hand, and then looked down at her wrist.

"What are you doing with my shawl?"

Dijiang: "..."
