"You came back just in time, hurry up and teach it a lesson for me." Chen Xueying noticed his arrival and immediately called him over.
Lu Zhao's face was gloomy and he stared at her with an unkind expression.
"You've shown enough prestige today."
"Tsk, come here quickly!" Chen Xueying didn't bother to answer him.
Dou Lang roared twice, but when he saw that she still refused to dry the meat, he was already getting ready to make a move.
Lu Zhao saw that she couldn't resist and was afraid that she would be injured, so he walked over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Chen Xueying grabbed his wrist and hit Dou Lang's head hard.
Dou Lang stood up on the spot and opened his mouth wide to take a bite of the man.
Lu Zhao moved faster, with one hand suddenly retracting, and the other hand wrapped around her waist, hugging her directly to avoid Dou Lang's attack.
"Ouch--" Dou Lang was obviously aroused and wanted to rush towards them again. However, before he could take action, the man kicked him in the stomach and knocked him to the ground.
"You have to help yourself to death, Chen Xueying, you are becoming more and more lawless!" Lu Zhao immediately raised his eyes and glared at her.
Facing the dangerous situation just now, Chen Xueying was not afraid at all. She even raised the corners of her mouth with a smile on her face, as if she was not being chased and bitten by a fighting wolf, but just making a little joke.
"Why are you speaking so harshly? Your Highness, I obviously want to be with you life and death. It is said that when a man and a woman are in an extremely dangerous situation, the accelerated beating heart and tense nerves will make people feel like they are in love. I am. How long have I been married to you? You always have a cold face. I guess your life is too dull and you need to find some excitement."
She pouted her lips, looking innocent and aggrieved, as if he had committed some heinous crime by not falling in love with her.
Lu Zhao stared at her closely and was silent for a moment, his brows frowning more and more.
"Princess, you are getting worse and worse."
Listen to what nonsense she is talking about. She is still living an ordinary life. She goes to the Northern Qi Palace to unveil tiles and holds a grand full-moon banquet for the fifth prince. How is it ordinary anymore? It's thrilling everywhere.
"Don't curse me, I'm fine!" She curled her lips, not wanting to waste any more words with him. She sat back on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
"I've been training wolves in the past few days just for today's events?" Lu Zhao went straight to the point.
"What happened today?" She pretended to be stupid.
The man walked over and snatched the tea cup from her hand.
"Don't pretend to be stupid. Is this why you gave the emperor a gift? But I'm afraid this plan will come to nothing. If the queen hadn't interfered last time, you would have kowtowed to apologize. It won't work today. Although he loves Wealth, but money can't buy everything, you will be taken advantage of again." Lu Zhao sneered, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Chen Xueying didn't take it seriously: "I didn't take care of things properly last time, but this time there will definitely be no mistakes."
"You have involved all the female relatives of Jicheng's powerful people. I'm afraid Concubine Li is not the only one who will pursue this matter. The Yushitai may also come to you." The man reminded her.
"Yushitai? I have sent gifts of apology to those female guests. They are soft-spoken and short-handed. How shameless are you to join me after accepting the gifts?"
Chen Xueying frowned, showing displeasure.
"Your Highness, you have to keep an eye on me. When you go to court tomorrow, if anyone dares to interfere with me, you will have your officials come out and ask their wives to spit out the apology. I'm so embarrassed! Of course, if they interfere with Li If you are a concubine, you don't have to worry about it, your gangsters can add insult to injury." She did not forget to warn her.
Lu Zhao was blocked and speechless. He could only say that she was indeed Chen Xueying, and her behavior was so forthright and forthright.
From the first day she entered Northern Qi, whenever she wanted to achieve her goals, whether it was the Ninth Five-Year-Old Master or the common people, she had to use money to bribe them. Even after so long, this trick still works every time.
"I don't have any followers." He was silent for a while before giving a reply.
Chen Xueying's face darkened instantly, "You're useless. The beggars on the roadside go out to beg for food, and they all know how to form gangs. You don't even have a feather as a prince. I have such a hard life. If I had known this, why would I have done it? It’s better to marry a bird, whose body is covered with feathers!”
What she said was so unpleasant that the man immediately lowered his face and stared at her with dark eyes, as if he wanted to attack her.
Chen Xueying is no longer afraid of him now. After getting along with each other these days, she has stepped on Lu Zhao's bottom line.
If such harsh words had come from anyone else, they would have been cut into pieces by the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.
However, as the Crown Princess and his creditor, she had rescued the Fourth Prince before, so she was somewhat benevolent, but it was just to satisfy her needs, so he would not do anything to her.
Lu Zhao's eyes changed several times, and even though they were so vicious, Chen Xueying remained unmoved. She even curled her lips and sneered at him, showing no fear and full of provocation.
He knew that she was very careful. It was impossible to force her, and he couldn't kill her due to emotion or reason.
Because of this, the woman in front of him became more and more arrogant, almost arrogant.
The man's eyes swept around, trying to catch her shortcomings. Finally, his eyes stopped on the tea cup in his hand, and he raised his head and drank the tea.
"What the Crown Princess said is true." He admitted directly in a low voice, with a bit of an attitude of breaking a jar.
"Tsk, you used my teacup! It's dirty." Chen Xueying said with a hint of disgust.
Lu Zhao put down the tea cup, picked up the empty cup next to him, poured a cup, and drank it all in one gulp again until he had drank all four cups. Finally, he even picked up the teapot and poured a few sips directly, so that the rain and dew would be soaked evenly.
"Not only do I not have any feathers, I also like to steal your tea!"
"Lu Zhao, you shameless person!" She grabbed the teapot and wanted to pour it over, but it was empty. He had obviously drank it all.
He immediately threw it and Lu Zhao caught it easily.
"You are a shameless person and you are a sick person. The Crown Princess was right before. You and I are a perfect match."
In the next few days, as Chen Xueying said, the fifth prince's full moon banquet did not cause any fluctuations.
Even though there are rumors among the people that the Crown Princess and the new Concubine Li are not dealing with each other, and the two have fought more than once, there is no reaction in the palace.
Both the former court and the harem seemed to have forgotten this matter.
None of the female relatives who attended the banquet that day cried out for injustice. The censor's desk, which always stared at the words and deeds of the powerful, also became mute, as if they had received some news.
As for Li Fei, the sufferer, she also kept her mouth shut, apparently because of Zhong Hai's warning.
Lu Zhaodu had already taken care of several of his officials and told them how to deal with it if something broke out, but everything was calm, as if he was laughing at his fuss.
The prince couldn't help but sigh: Money is indeed everything.
At the end of November, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the scenery is desolate.
Outside the princess's house, Chen Xueying was wearing a thick cloak, holding a heater in her hand, and was talking to Liu Lei.
"General Liu, I was able to come to Northern Qi safely and gain a foothold in a foreign country, thanks to you and the soldiers. We say goodbye today and I don't know when we will see each other again. Please be careful on the road." Her voice was a little low. The mood is also somewhat sad.
After Dayan's army escorted her to Northern Qi, it was actually time to leave.
However, it was Chen Xueying who used money power to open up the joints. Neither Lu Wuji nor Lu Zhao ever asked them to leave, so she kept them.
It's almost the twelfth lunar month now, and the New Year is coming, and it will really be an eyesore if I don't leave.
"Princess, you are serious. This is what subordinates should do. We will meet again in the future." Liu Lei was a martial artist and was not good at comforting others, so his words seemed a bit weak.
Chen Xueying smiled sadly: "I am now the Crown Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and you are the General of Dayan. If we can still see each other, I am afraid it will be when the country is ruined and the capital is destroyed, so it is better not to see each other again."
Liu Lei was choked by her words. It was really unlucky, but very reasonable.
Fortunately, Chen Xueying did not directly point out that the person who was trampled to the capital was Dayan, so she had some dignity left.
"Princess, there is no need to send any more gifts. There is no banquet in the world. I will ask you to suffer in Northern Qi and protect our safety. In addition, you must be careful about Cen Ruhai. His background is complicated and involves the powerful people of Yan. You must keep an eye on it, otherwise you will be easily implicated." Get into trouble.”
Liu Lei kept this matter in his heart for several days, and finally said it before parting.
He didn't directly reveal Prince Dayan, but he still exposed Cen Ruhai's ulterior motives and made Chen Xueying wary.
"Cen Ruhai?" Chen Xueying frowned. For a moment, she felt that the name was familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Seeing that she had forgotten this person, Liu Lei couldn't help but cough lightly and reminded: "It's the person who offended you on the way here and was ordered by you to keep silent and slap himself in the face after saying a word." Bit."
"Ah, I have forgotten him. Don't worry, General Liu. I have protected Dayan for a long time. A small fish like him can't cause trouble at all." Chen Xueying finally remembered it, and she did not forget to pay attention to herself. A gold face.
After coming to Beiqi, she encountered so many thrilling things that she had long forgotten about this male partner who had little presence.
"Princess, please be safe."
"General, have a nice trip."
The two of them each bowed, and Liu Lei mounted his horse and led the people all the way to the city gate.
He lived in the enemy's capital for more than two months. Although he did not dare to move around due to his status, he was still greatly shocked by this place.
The folk customs were not ordinary tough, and they had even heard of many perverted rules of the Northern Qi royal family. He had thought several times that the news of the sudden death of the princess would come tomorrow.
But day after day, not only did he not receive any bad news, Chen Xueying was even living a more relaxed and comfortable life day by day. She was like a fish in water. It was hard to imagine that she was here to get married, and those who didn't know it thought she was here to be the queen mother.
Heavy snow is falling one after another. This year's snow is heavier than in previous years, and it is bitterly cold in the north.
Not to mention the wealthy person like her, Chen Xueying, a modern person, lives like a year without air conditioning.
She has been huddled in the princess's mansion and has not even gone to the palace. There is no need for her to pay her respects anyway.
But seeing that the New Year was coming soon, she couldn't escape at all. She had to go to the palace for several days in a row. She simply had her things packed and moved directly to the East Palace.
Before Lu Zhao even stepped into the gate of the East Palace, he heard a slightly noisy sound inside.
Various boxes and cages are placed on the ground, from inside the hall to outside the hall, like a long dragon. :,,
