"Prince."

As soon as the two left the school ground, the Fourth Prince's concubine immediately came up and tried to reach out to touch the wound on Tuoba Yin's neck with concern, but Tuoba Yin pushed it away. The expression on the Fourth Prince's concubine's face seemed to be stiff, but she quickly returned to calm and looked at Chu Ling and said, "Miss Qu's martial arts are getting more and more sophisticated. I believe General Tuoba is also very happy."

Of course, Chu Ling heard the displeasure of the Fourth Prince's concubine, but she could not explain that Tuoba Yin lost when he was fighting with her. She was afraid that it would be even harder to explain at that time, so she had to smile and said, "Lucky, the Fourth Princess praised her."

Helan next to him really didn't care about this. He walked to Chu Ling and said enthusiastically: "Miss Qu is so amazing. Our Wuyan girl is also very powerful, but she is not as good as Miss Qu."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise of the princess."

Helanzhen shook her head and said, "I'm telling the truth. Let's talk about it when you have time. Miss Qu needs to show mercy."

Chu Ling thought Helanzhen, the future princess, was very interesting, straightforward but smart. She could feel Helanzhen's intention to show good to her, but she could also feel that she really wanted to make friends with her, not the kind of dealing with her purely for purpose. Such people are hard to feel annoying even with purpose. After all, how many people in this world do things without purpose?

"The wedding date is approaching, and I think the princess will not have time in the short term." Chu Ling said with a smile.

Helan blinked in a daze, not quite understanding why she had no time in the short term. Isn’t marriage only one day? However, when it comes to her marriage, even the generous girl from the frontier, she couldn’t help but blush and glared at Chu Ling and said nothing more.

Tuoba Zan, who was standing aside, was bored listening to the greetings of several people. Shengsheng was not good at all. He was a girl and always had to get involved with those boring women. If she was a boy, they could go out to hunt and play around every day. Where should they pay attention to these women?

This is purely a whimsical thing about Tuoba Zan. Even if Chu Ling is a boy, he will be broken by Tuoba Xingye when he goes out to hunt horses every day.

"Dear sisters and sisters-in-law, have you finished talking?" Tuoba Zan couldn't help but speak.

Helanzhen said: "If you feel bored, just walk with the Fourth Prince. Why is it still a problem for us to chat?"

Tuoba Zan was angry, "I brought Shengsheng here!"

Helan said with a smile: "Seventeenth Prince, you have grown up, don't always bother your senior sister like a child. Shengsheng is a girl, of course, it's fun to play with us. What to play with you? Discuss how to play with mud or climb trees to dig bird nests?"

Tuoba Zan blushed and glared at her future sister-in-law: He has long stopped digging out the bird's nest!

Tuoba Yin looked at the people in front of him with a disdainful expression, without any intention of participating. Although he was the master, Chu Ling felt that he was even more out of the matter than her uninvited guest. Moreover, after coming off the school ground, Chu Ling always felt that Tuoba Yin's gaze always ignored him intentionally or unintentionally. It was not like recognizing her identity? If he really recognized her identity, he would be more focused on her. Moreover, in the past two years, Chu Ling's appearance has been very little similar to Chu Fuyi in his memory. His personality and long-term martial arts practice will lead to changes in appearance. Chu Qingyi and Chu Fuyi are not twins themselves, so the change will only get bigger and bigger. Coupled with Chu Ling's deliberate modification, Chu Ling has never even heard people say that she is similar to anyone.

So, what did Tuoba Yin suddenly lose his mind when he saw it?

"I have something to do, the princess will take a few guests to the front." Tuoba Yin finally spoke.

The hosts were so unenthusiastic, so the guests were naturally not too enthusiastic. The fourth princess was a little embarrassed, but she still laughed and invited Helanzhen and Tuoba Mingzhu and Chu Ling to the front hall to have tea. Chu Ling thought of the exotic tea of ​​the nobles of the Clan, so she couldn't help but want to walk, but thinking about her purpose, she still held it back.

"Fourth brother, I'm too..." Tuoba Zan also wanted to escape, but was caught by Tuoba Yin and kicked him back, "You stay."

Tuoba Zan looked at his fourth brother in distress, "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

Tuoba Yin looked at him lightly, and after a while, he said, "Go to drink with me."

"drink wine?"

The man of the tribe can drink at Tuoba Zan's age, but Tuoba Zan himself does not like to drink very much. Besides, no one will carry a teenager in his teens to drink? But looking at Tuoba Yin's increasingly depressed expression, Tuoba Zan still dared not refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, drink when you drink!" He glanced at Tuoba Yin carefully, and Tuoba Zan whispered: "Fourth Brother..."

Tuoba Yin glanced at him and raised his eyebrows slightly. Tuoba praised: "Are you... really like the fourth sister-in-law said, and you still miss that... Princess Apocalypse?"

The aura of the people around him became cold in an instant, but Tuoba Zan, who was so nervous, did not notice it and said to himself: "Although I don't know how beautiful that Princess Apocalypse is,... why should you do it if you are dead? If you really like the women of Apocalypse, uh... Although there are no royal noble girls in the Huayi Garden, there should be many other women. Otherwise, let the Apocalypse send a few princesses to marry him. Why do you want it..."

Tuoba Yin next to him suddenly flew out, and disappeared behind the courtyard wall after a few ups and downs. Only Tuoba Zan was left with a confused look on his face: Didn’t you mean drinking?

The banquets of the nobles of the Clan were not interesting or even more boring than those of the Central Plains. The Fourth Prince's Consort only held a small party for Helanzhen today. Except for those who were noble as Tuoba Mingzhu, the rest were noble girls with good relationships with the Fourth Prince's Consort. Most of these people grew up outside the pass. Even if they entered the pass for ten years, they would not have learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the noble daughter of the Tianqi, which was elegant and interesting. Instead, they brought their original arrogance and domineering attitude to ten percent.

When Chu Ling sat among such a group of people, she felt that the fourth prince's concubine and Tuoba Mingzhu, who were originally a little arrogant and hypocritical, had become kind and friendly.

Also not used to Helanzhen. Although the Wuyan tribe is a powerful tribe outside the Frontier, Helanzhen is even more respected as a princess. However, the people outside the Frontier are tough and the environment is harsh, and most ordinary people have simple personalities and have never seen the prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains. Helanzhen looked at the noble girl of the Hu tribe who was talking big in gold and silver, and was a little confused. When she was a child, she went to the royal court outside the pass. It felt normal for everyone to sing and dance together at that time. It was only ten years later, why did it become so strange?

"Aren't the eldest princess used to it?" Tuoba Mingzhu, who was sitting next to her, asked in a low voice.

Helan Zhen glanced at Tuoba Mingzhu, smiled kindly at her and said, "There is a little bit, it seems... there is a big change."

"This is natural." Tuoba Mingzhu said: "After all, the Clan has entered the Central Plains now, which is different from before. Miss Qu, what do you think?" Chu Ling smiled faintly and said: "I have never seen what the Clan used to be like. But I heard from my master that it is indeed different from before."

Tuoba Mingzhu wisely did not ask General Tuoba what was different. Of course, she knew that Tuoba Xingye would never say anything good. Tuoba Xingye has always been very dissatisfied with the indulgence of many people in the Clan after the entry of the Clan to the Pass. Tuoba Mingzhu disagreed. If it weren't for the sake of enjoyment, why would the Clan members have to work hard to enter the Pass? The Clans entered the Pass not only for the Apocalypse, but many people also died of the Clans. Otherwise, they would not stop moving forward in the past ten years.

Helan really didn't want to discuss these things with Tuoba Mingzhu, so she changed the subject. She glanced at the Fourth Prince's concubine who was joking with someone and asked in a low voice: "Why do I think the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's concubine is a bit strange?" She hadn't seen it before the Fourth Prince's concubine was with her these days, but Helanzhen just saw some of it on the school ground. His wife cared about her husband's injuries, and even if the husband felt that there was no need, she shouldn't be so cold.

Tuoba Mingzhu snorted lightly and laughed in a low voice: "Don't you know the great princess yet? Our fourth prince... and the fourth prince are just a matter of face. If His Majesty hadn't said peace in person, the fourth prince would have almost killed the fourth prince."

"How could it be?" Not only Helanzhen, but even Chu Ling couldn't help but look at him.

Tuoba Mingzhu shook her head and said, "Two years ago, the fourth princess took advantage of the fourth prince's departure from Beijing to Huanyiyuan. When the fourth prince came back, the concubine had already died in Huanyiyuan. At that time, the fourth prince almost killed the fourth prince, but the eldest prince stopped him because he was injured. Don't look at the fourth prince's glory now, she can't even get the power in the mansion. She just gave her a glory to her parents' home and children. If we women of the gentry can't even control the power in the mansion, how much difference can we get from being divorced? In other words, there are no other powerful concubines in the Fourth Prince's mansion, which makes her live a peaceful life."

Helan looked at the Fourth Prince's Concubine who was talking and laughing not far away in surprise. She could not tell at all that Tuoba Mingzhu said it was as miserable as Tuoba Mingzhu said. Is it Tuoba Mingzhu that it was exaggerating or was it that the Fourth Prince's Concubine was too well concealed?

Chu Ling frowned slightly and whispered: "County Lord, the concubine you mentioned..."

Tuoba Mingzhu sneered and said, "It's just a woman who is apocalypse, but it's the biological daughter of the emperor in the south. That woman can hook up with men, and even people like the fourth prince are for her..."

"Is it Princess Lingxi of the Heavenly Qi?" Chu Ling frowned and interrupted Tuoba Mingzhu's words. She felt that the Lingchuan County Lord in front of her was also interesting. She looked down on the woman who looked down on the Heavenly Qi, but she tried her best to defeat the man who was a man who was a member of the Heavenly Qi. Tuoba Mingzhu has always been smart and dignified, and has a noble demeanor of royal family, but she just chewed with her and Helan here. He really couldn't hear the malicious intentions towards Chu Fuyi in his words, but Chu Ling could clearly hear them. To put it bluntly, she was just jealous of Chu Fuyi. She was jealous of a woman who had been abandoned by her father and fiancée for two years. It can be seen that the Lingchuan County Lord's marriage life... was quite unsatisfied.

Tuoba Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Ling, "Miss Qu actually knows her?"

Chu Ling said calmly: "Emperor Tianqi Yongjia only has two girls under his knees. I heard that he was captured by the Clan in his early years. Based on age, he should be the eldest daughter Princess Lingxi."

Tuoba Mingzhu nodded and said, "No, it's Chu Fuyi."

Helanzhen said: "So she is also a pitiful person. I heard that the Apocalypse women are weak. Although they are not good at it, it is not her fault." Tuoba Mingzhu disagreed, "The eldest princess is kind. Didn't she forget the rules outside our pass? It's useless, it's useless, how can it be pitiful?"

Wars often occur between the external tribes of the gate. The completely defeated side often becomes slaves to the winners. It is not necessarily that the people of the Clan are more kind to the Apocalypse.

Helan Zhen shook his head and said, "If this is the case, we can't blame the men for their preference. After all, whether it is about the battlefield or the men, is the winner the king?"

拓跋明珠无语,楚凌却忍不住笑了.

I think this foreign princess is really a very transparent person.

Tuoba Mingzhu might feel embarrassed and suddenly said, "I heard that His Majesty has given the eldest prince a few concubines this time?"

Helanzhen frowned slightly, but didn't care much, "Since it was given to the eldest prince by His Majesty, I will naturally manage them well." In her eyes, the concubine was just a property of the eldest prince's mansion. As the manager of the future eldest prince's mansion, she only needs to manage it for a long time.

Tuoba Mingzhu does have an advantage that others cannot match in this regard. Most of the men of the Clan have wives and concubines. Baili Qinghong, who married Tuoba Mingzhu, has never had anyone around him, and there is not even a concubine. Tuoba Mingzhu is sometimes proud of this, but when facing a person like Helan Zhen who seems to care about it at all, no matter how proud he is, he doesn't have much sense of accomplishment. He can only say in disappointment: "The eldest princess should be careful, those women have many means. Don't be like the eldest prince and the fourth prince who will hook you at that time..."

Helan really didn't want to pay attention to Tuoba Mingzhu, and pulled Chu Ling and said, "Shengsheng, what kind of flower is there? I haven't seen it yet. Let's go and see if it's okay?"

Chu Ling understood and stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, the county lord is missing."

The two of them left hand in hand, leaving Tuoba Mingzhu sitting there and gritting her teeth secretly.

When Chu Ling and Helanzhen left Tuoba Mingzhu, they seemed a little overwhelmed. Helanzhen naturally noticed, "Shengsheng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Ling shook his head and said, "No, I'm just thinking about what the Lord of Lingchuan County said just now."

Helanzhen said: "You don't have to care about her words. If she quarrels with the county horse, she will expose her anger on others. Although you are also from the Central Plains, you are a disciple of General Tuoba. Who dares to offend you?"

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Arguing? I heard that the couple in Lingchuan County Lord and County Ma are very deeply in love."

Helan Zhen shook her head and said disapprovingly: "I don't know if it's deep love, but I always feel that their relationship is a bit awkward. A few days ago, Tuoba Mingzhu was embarrassed by a woman from the Central Plains in her mansion. She was stopped by a horse in Lingchuan County, and then the two started arguing. It seemed that Tuoba Mingzhu said that the horse in Lingchuan County was still thinking about someone or something, and I heard someone say it privately."

"The horse in Lingchuan County is so bold, he openly protects a woman in the Central Plains and still quarrels with the county lord? Does the Ming King care about it?"

Helan smiled and said, "The most interesting place is here. The Ming King also protects that woman. Tuoba Mingzhu is going crazy these two days. If you catch and bite whoever you want, don't get too close to her,"

"No wonder she was so mean to the late Princess Lingxi just now." Chu Ling nodded in understanding.

Helan Zhen sighed and said, "Before I came to Beijing, I always thought this place was just a busier and busier place than outside our borders."

Chu Ling said: "Isn't it?"

Helanzhen shook her head, "It's true, but... the people here are so annoying. It's not like us, who ride horses, hunt, sing, and dance every day, and everyone is happy." Chu Ling looked at Helanzhen in confusion, and she felt that Helanzhen was not such a naive person. Helanzhen looked at her and smiled and said, "Of course I'm not stupid, otherwise why would my father be assured to send me to Beijing. I'm just not used to it. In just ten years, all people and things have changed. Maybe in ten years, even the father and the people from the Wuyan tribe won't know me anymore."

Chu Ling didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only reach out and pat the back of her hand.

"Don't think too much. Although many people have changed, there are still people who can keep their true hearts. I..."

"Qu Sheng!" A sharp voice came from not far away. Chu Ling couldn't help frowning, looked back at the person rushing towards him, and sighed helplessly.
