"Auntie, you don't take it seriously, do you?" Lu Yurong said angrily.
Princess Jing said: "Xiao Lu, you can only listen but not talk when you go. Don't cause trouble, especially don't provoke Chief Chu."
"Of course." Lu Guang said authentically: "I will shut up and treat myself as mute!"
"Okay." Princess Jing smiled and nodded: "Then you will act as Yu Rong's guard for once!"
Lu Guangdi clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely protect Miss Lu!"
Lu Yurong glanced at him sideways and said: "You have the martial arts skills of a three-legged cat to protect me, but I can't protect you enough!"
The color of the ground does not change when exposed to light.
Princess Jing said: "Yu Rong, you have to bring a guard over anyway, not him."
"...Okay." Lu Yurong rolled her bright eyes and agreed.
Lu Guangdi was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Yurong to agree so readily.
Princess Jing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
She was also surprised that Lu Yurong relented so quickly. She thought she would have to persuade her sincerely for a long time.
——
At dusk the next day, when the lanterns were first lit, Chu Li arrived outside Qingyun Tower.
Arriving in front of the big house, he handed over the invitation.
A guard at the door led him into a small courtyard, which was the Jade Snow Courtyard.
He didn't have an appointment at Qingyuyuan with Mo Qingyu. If he was alone, he would naturally look for Mo Qingyu. It would be inappropriate to come to Qingyuyuan with friends.
After Mo Qingyu half-retired and half-hidden, the one who rose up was this girl named Yuxue, who was so beautiful that she won the crown in Qingyun Tower. Not everyone could see her, even if she was rich.
With the sound of the piano clanking, he entered the Jade Snow Courtyard and stepped into the house. He saw Prince Ping sitting cross-legged in front of a low table, squinting and enjoying the sound of the piano.
His back was straight and his evil spirit was faint. It was obvious that he had not been able to completely escape the battlefield after such a long time, and the military demeanor had been integrated into his bones.
A petite and exquisite woman is playing the piano with her head lowered. The sound of the piano is loud and loud, and her appearance is not ordinary, which is completely different from her petite body.
Hearing the footsteps, the petite woman looked up, revealing her beautiful face, which was so exquisite that it made people admire the wonder of nature. It was possible to concentrate all the beauty in one person to create such a delicate beauty.
King Ping opened his eyes, chinned his head at him, then closed his eyes to enjoy the sound of the piano.
Chu Li lowered his head and sat in front of a low table next to Prince Ping. A delicate little maid brought a tea cup. Fruits and snacks had already been laid out.
Chu Li said: "Give me a pot of wine and two cups."
"Yes." The delicate little maid responded softly, and quickly brought a silver pot of wine and two jasper cups.
Chu Li filled two jasper cups and handed one to King Ping.
Prince Ping opened his eyes, took the jade cup, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
The delicate little maid sat next to Chu Li, holding a pot and filling it up for the two of them.
Chu Li said: "How is your prince doing lately?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not." Prince Ping said calmly.
Chu Li frowned and said, "The prince has not been able to come out yet?"
Prince Ping shook his head and said calmly: "Now I am living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming, living day by day."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
The sonorous sound of the piano suddenly climbed higher, as if a white crane soared into the sky.
Chu Li took a sip of wine and stopped talking.
The two of them concentrated on enjoying the sound of the piano and looking at Miss Yuxue's intoxicating face.
The sound of the piano was faint and quiet, and Miss Yuxue's green-white jade fingers left the strings, and the sound of the piano seemed to be lingering in the room.
Neither Chu Li nor King Ping spoke, immersed in the afterglow.
After a while, Chu Li broke the silence: "Have you heard about the establishment of a crown prince?"
Prince Ping frowned and looked at him.
Chu Li said: "This matter cannot be false."
"Father, you can't wait!" Prince Ping sneered.
Miss Yuxue was a little surprised. She looked at Chu Li and then at Prince Ping. She felt that she shouldn't listen to these words, but she didn't know how to retreat.
Chu Li glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Yuxue, help us make another pot of tea. A girl will be here later."
"Yes." Miss Yuxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a cursory bow, and stepped back.
Chu Li said: "Isn't the prince anxious?"
"There's no point in being anxious." Prince Ping put down his jasper wine glass and sighed: "My father has always been interested in my sixth brother. This time, while I am letting go of my military power, I will make my sixth brother the prince immediately, but he won't let me have anything to say.
"
Chu Li nodded.
Prince Ping said: "As soon as I open my mouth now, everyone will attack me, and I can't stop my sixth brother from ascending to the position of crown prince."
Chu Li sighed and said: "The current situation is not right, what can I do?"
"Exactly!" Prince Ping said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. Let the sixth brother be proud for a while. Who knows what will happen in ten years!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "I feel relieved that the prince can be so stable."
"Why did you call Lu Yurong over?" Prince Ping asked.
Chu Li said: "Prince Anjing's heart."
King Ping lowered his head lightly.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside.
"Yu Rong, come in." Chu Li said.
The door opened and the two of them walked in slowly.
Lu Yurong wore a snow-white Luo shirt, a wide hat, and a white gauze hanging down to cover her face. In addition, she also wore a white gauze on her face, completely covering her face. Lu Guangdi followed behind her.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to come and join in the fun."
He looked at Lu Yurong: "Flower Protector?"
"The princess insisted that he follow her, saying that Qingyun Tower is not suitable for women to come alone." Lu Yurong shook her head.
She took off her hat and white gauze, revealing her charming face, and firmly pressed her head against Miss Yuxue.
Lu Guangdi said nothing, as if he thought he was mute, and just walked to a corner and sat down.
Lu Yurong cupped her fists and flattened Wang Yili: "I have met the prince."
Prince Ping waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."
Lu Yurong glanced at Chu Li and shook her head gently.
She originally wanted to use her ability to see into people's hearts to see what Prince Ping was thinking.
Now it seems that all the efforts were in vain. King Ping's whole body was covered with a layer of faint brilliance. This brilliance was radiated from Chu Li's body.
As a result, this meeting was in vain and was tricked by Chu Li again.
Prince Ping said: "Miss Lu, you are here to ask me what I think of the position of crown prince, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded lightly.
She thanked Miss Yuxue who brought the tea cup, and then looked at Prince Ping: "Although the prince has released the military power, his influence in the army is still very important, and all the yamen of the Ministry of War only follow the lead of the prince."
Prince Ping said calmly: "I have no interest in the prince, so Prince Jing can rest assured."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yurong clasped her fists.
Prince Ping said: "If King Jing can promise to attack Dazheng in the future and I will personally lead the troops, I can promise to give up the fight for the throne!"
"Really?" Lu Yurong was startled.
Prince Ping said calmly: "Now that I am alive, I am like a walking corpse. My only thought is to avenge the princess, not to do what he wants!"
"...I will report it truthfully." Lu Yurong said slowly: "If I agreed directly, the prince would not believe it."
"Let King Jing come and talk to me in person." King Ping said.
