Lu Zhiyao's inadvertent glance at Liu Yiyu made Liu Yiyu feel guilty. She thought she had offended the now-famous Eighth Imperial Concubine for the first time when they met. Liu Yiyu was wondering what it was about her that made her
Not liking her anymore, Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
"This should be Liu Yiyu, the daughter of the Liu family, right?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Liu Yiyu with a smile, completely without the overbearing posture he had just talked to Nangong Nuoer. He looked at Liu Yiyu and nodded slowly, listening to her using
The voice he had heard countless times was talking to him, and Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that it was really a good thing that God could allow her to continue living in this world with a different identity.
"I have heard someone mention your name before, and when I saw it today, it turned out to be just as gentle and pleasant as she said." After Lu Zhiyao looked at Liu Yiyu carefully, he said, "I have something else to do today.
, if there is a chance in the future, we can sit down and talk."
In Liu Yiyu's ears, Lu Zhiyao's praise was just polite. Liu Yiyu knew better than anyone how much she weighed. What's more, she had not been in Xia Lai Country for many months. Who would be with the dignified Eighth Princess?
When you mention yourself, do you praise yourself for being gentle and pleasant?
Liu Yiyu smiled, bent down and sent Lu Zhiyao and Lin Ruoxue away, and then looked at Nangong Nuo'er who was staring at her with an unhappy expression, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Lu Zhiyao and Nangong Nuoer's dislike of each other was too obvious. I wonder what it would be like if Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang, brothers, were caught in the middle.
Lu Zhiyao continued to walk forward with Lin Ruoxue. When they were far away from Nangong Nuo'er, she heard Lin Ruoxue ask herself in a low voice: "Eighth sister-in-law, that person is the envoy of Qingming Kingdom, right? They
How could the two of them be together?"
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Ruoxue, was silent for a long time, and said: "Liu Yiyu is originally from Xia Lai. If I guessed correctly, she finally came back this time and would not want to leave again, unless she is already in
Qing Mingguo will get the status she wants, but this is very unlikely."
Lu Zhiyao still remembered that time Lin Yinan took him to Qingming Kingdom to watch the excitement. With the atmosphere of Qingming Kingdom, it is unlikely that a woman like Liu Yiyu, who has no power to restrain a chicken, would be accepted by the emperor, or
She is liked by the royal family and nobles, not to mention that she is a Xia Lai with a dubious identity.
"Perhaps they both want to get something from each other, who knows." Lu Zhiyao smiled briskly, turned her head slightly with the corner of her mouth to meet Lin Ruoxue's eyes, and said slowly: "There are some things you can do later.
You will understand."
Lin Ruoxue frowned, not understanding what Lu Zhiyao meant. Fortunately, she soon saw Zi Ningshuang and forgot about it.
When Zi Ningshuang saw Lin Ruoxue and Lu Zhiyao, her cold face softened a little.
Lu Zhiyao was a little surprised to see another person in the room. He didn't expect to meet Yin Jianli here today.
"Just in time, I have something to ask you for help." Lu Zhiyao stepped forward in two steps and walked to Yin Jianli. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Zi Ningshuang.
Lu Zhiyao looked puzzled as Zi Ningshuang asked her to change the topic, and did so.
"Xiaoxue suddenly said today that she misses your empress and insists that I take her into the palace to see her. I guess she doesn't dare to come back on her own, for fear of getting into trouble again and not being able to leave the palace."
Zi Ningshuang glanced at Lin Ruoxue with doting eyes, and continued what Lu Zhiyao said. The few chatted absentmindedly for a while, and then Lu Zhiyao heard Zi Ningshuang say again: "Okay."
"What does the Eighth Princess want this servant to do?" Yin Jianli asked in a low voice when Zi Ningshuang said this.
"Forget it, I will go to the palace to find you later."
Lu Zhiyao originally wanted to talk to Yin Jianli about Jiang Wei, but when he thought it seemed inappropriate here, he changed his mind.
Zi Ningshuang looked at the two of them, took Lin Ruoxue's hand and walked out. "I will take Xiaoxue to the yard to talk for a while. No one will disturb me in the inner room. I will come out after I finish talking."
Lu Zhiyao watched Zi Ningshuang walk out of the room with strange eyes. When she and Yin Jianli were alone, Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice: "Concubine Ning Gui really knows martial arts?"
"Don't you know? Concubine Ning's martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the prince. Someone must have been eavesdropping outside just now, but you and I didn't notice."
Lu Zhiyao suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly told Yin Jianli about the business. Yin Jianli frowned the whole time. After Lu Zhiyao finished everything, he asked: "The Eighth Prince's plan?"
"It has nothing to do with him. It's what I want to do. Is there a problem?"
"No."
Lu Zhiyao has many evil ideas, which is something that Yin Jianli has been particularly aware of recently. But he still did not expect that she would actually want to deal with Jiang Wei and solve the matter of Beauty Pavilion in this way.
"I'll go find Jiang Wei when I get back. If there's any news, I'll go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion to tell you."
After Lu Zhiyao finished explaining the matter, Yin Jianli strode away. Lu Zhiyao walked to the yard, looked at the mother and daughter sitting there talking, and sighed secretly.
Yin Jianli must have come here because of Lin Ruoxue's affairs. I don't know what the discussion between the imperial concubine and the prince was like with the emperor.
When Zi Ningshuang saw Lu Zhiyao, she pointed to the stool next to her and said, "Come and sit."
"Mom, the eighth sister-in-law can also play the piano. Let her play it for you when she has time." Lin Ruoxue said to Zi Ningshuang as if she was offering a treasure: "The Eighth Emperor's Palace is very interesting. It would be great if you could leave the palace."
"Since your eighth sister-in-law is good at everything, why don't you learn from her?" A smile flashed in Zi Ningshuang's eyes, "Did you burn the piano I gave you, or did you throw it away?
I don’t even know which corner is buried in dust, but you still dare to talk to me about playing the piano?”
"Learning the piano is really boring, I can't blame you for that." Lin Ruoxue still felt painful when she recalled the memory of being forced to learn the piano and having to sit there motionless for several hours every day. "Why did the eighth sister-in-law learn to play the piano? Prime Minister
Did I force you before?"
The eyes of Zi Ningshuang and Lin Ruoxue fell on Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, my father asked me to learn it."
Because she got into a big trouble at that time, Xia Zhenkun no longer allowed her to learn martial arts with her, and he also gave an order not to allow anyone from the Xia Mansion to practice martial arts with her. She was very sad at that time, but fortunately her mother thought about it
The method is to let her learn something that Xia Zhenkun likes, and then find Xia Tian to secretly teach her martial arts.
Lu Zhiyao now looked at Lin Ruoxue and Zi Ningshuang's coquettish looks, and unconsciously thought of his mother, who always didn't talk much, but would be her supporter at all times, as long as she had something she wanted to do.
, she will definitely find a way to make her do it. Otherwise, she would not have had the courage to disobey Xia Zhenkun and continue practicing martial arts secretly.
"My dear, is there anything I can do to help with Xiaoxue's matter?"
Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a long time and finally asked.
Zi Ningshuang looked at Lu Zhiyao steadily for a while, then smiled and said, "No, I will always find a way."
Zi Ningshuang's smile was faint and disappeared soon. But when Lu Zhiyao saw her saying this, he knew in his heart that Lin Ruoxue would be fine this time.
Lin Ruoxue pestered Zi Ningshuang for two hours, and then left with Lu Zhiyao. Zi Ningshuang stared at the backs of the two people walking away, and remembered a few words Lin Mubai said.
Zi Ningshuang has always been uneasy about Lu Zhiyao. There are too many things about her that make people suspicious, but Lin Mubai is so sure that Lin Ruoxue can be sent to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. Now seeing
Xiaoxue lived so happily in the Eight Emperors Mansion, and Zi Ningshuang's hanging heart finally settled down.
Lu Zhiyao and the two were stopped before they could walk out of the palace. They heard the eunuch in front of them saying that the emperor wanted to see the princess. Lu Zhiyao and the uneasy Lin Ruoxue looked at each other and said, "Princess has not been seen for a long time."
When you see the emperor, you should go and see him."
Now even if they wanted to leave, Lu Zhiyao had no other choice but to accompany Lin Ruoxue to see the emperor. Lu Zhiyao sighed in his heart along the way. The emperor's eyes were everywhere.
Is Ningshuang, the person who eavesdropped on their conversation, also a member of the emperor?
When they arrived at where Lin Yunlong was, Lu Zhiyao stood outside the door but did not go in. But after a while, she was invited in by Lin Yunlong.
Entering the room, Lu Zhiyao quickly put on a smile and greeted the emperor.
Lin Yunlong has been impressed by Lu Zhiyao since the last time he came to the palace and said those words to him. He asked her something about Lin Ruoxue, and his calm tone was really like that of a father, talking to her.
Others say things about their daughter.
Lu Zhiyao answered Lin Yunlong's questions politely and cautiously. After Lin Yunlong changed the subject and mentioned the Qingming Kingdom, Lu Zhiyao had an illusion. Perhaps what the emperor really wanted to see today was not Lin Ruoxue, but himself.
"I have been very busy recently because of the envoy from Qingming Kingdom coming to Beijing. Have you ever come into contact with Liu Yiyu before?"
"Back to the emperor, no." Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and answered Lin Yunlong's question. "But this name has been mentioned before. I heard that Liu Yiyu had a good relationship with Xia Yao before. If the emperor really wants to know about her,
, why not ask Prince Luo, maybe he will know more than others."
"How do you know Xia Yao has a good relationship with her?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are few people in the capital who haven't heard of the name Xia Yao. Even if you don't want to hear about her, you'll still hear a few words about her. There's nothing you can do about it."
Lu Zhiyao said this without blushing, but after waiting for a long time, Lin Yunlong didn't say anything else. He slowly raised his eyes and saw Lin Yunlong leaning on the back of the chair, looking at her intently.
"Liu Yiyu will not leave this time. Please help me pay more attention. If anything goes wrong, come to the palace and report it immediately."
Lu Zhiyao froze and couldn't figure out why Lin Yunlong would give this kind of task to him. He suspected that Liu Yiyu was sentimental, but there was something wrong with asking him to spy on Liu Yiyu, right? Lu Zhiyao didn't think that the emperor was interested in her
His trust has reached this level. So what is the reason why he is looking for him?
