Jing Jingruo's hand was held behind Lu Zuo's back and he couldn't move. He lowered his head and said nothing, with a look of resignation on his face. Lu Zuo quickly let go and apologized.
The bystanders applauded, but An Shilu stepped forward angrily, supporting his sister while accusing Lu Zuo of his fault.
Jing Jingruo pouted and looked at Lu Zuo, feeling furious, ashamed and ashamed, thinking that she had never suffered such a loss. So he turned around and left angrily. When he turned around, he didn't pay attention to the falling platform behind him and almost bumped into it. Even the Weapon Drop Platform was angry with him. He was so angry that An Jing Ruo pushed the Weapon Drop Platform hard with his hand. In an instant, the weapons on the stand fell to the ground with a clang, leaving only An An Ruo's indignant back. Go away.
Lu Zuo looked at Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan awkwardly and bowed to express that he was really sorry.
An Yuanshan is an open-minded person, "Mr. Lu is laughing, Jingruo is spoiled by me, don't be like her. She is not an angry person, she is afraid that she lost in front of so many people, and she is a little unhappy. It’ll be fine in a moment!”
"No!" Lu Zuo smiled, "It's like a 'tiger father has no dog daughter'. Princess Qiongxi really has good skills. There are very few women like this in the world."
After hearing this, An Shilu muttered to the side, "Then you don't deserve it either."
Although An Shilu spoke softly, everyone was close, so everyone heard it. Lu Zuo, who was usually expressionless, turned red all the way to his neck.
"Shiqing, please take Shilu down. My father and Mr. Lu have some important matters to discuss. They will send someone to call us during the meal later." An Yuanshan glared at An Shilu and sternly ordered An Shiqing to take him there quickly. His brother went down.
Not long after brother An Shiqing left, a servant came to send a greeting card, saying that it was King Liu Xu of Wei who wanted to see him. Anyuanshan and Lu Zuo looked at each other and quickly ordered the person to go to the main room for an appointment.
When Wei Wang Liu Xu saw Anyuanshan waiting for him in the main room, he hurriedly saluted each other. Liu Xu saw three people standing in front of the guest table on the left. The first one was a pale-faced scholar, the second one was also a scholar with a handsome face, and finally there was a dark-skinned adult man, thinking that he could be a normal person. Yuanbo Mansion was personally entertained by the owner here, so he must be an honored guest. Liu Xu then also saluted the three people at the guest table, and Lu Zuo and others also greeted them respectfully.
"Your Majesty, let me introduce these three to you." An Yuanshan walked to the guest table and pointed at Yin Ji from behind to introduce them, "This young knight's name is Yin Ji. It can be said that he is very skilled in martial arts. This is Lu Renxiang, who won first place in the Shanzhou Township Examination this year."
When An Yuanshan introduced Lu Zuo, he deliberately raised his voice and introduced with a smile: "This is the famous Mr. Lu Gongfu, Mr. Lu!"
Liu Xu was still a little confused after hearing this. The name Lu Gongfu seemed familiar.
"The civilian's surname is Lu Mingzuo, and his courtesy name is Gongfu." Lu Zuo said with cupped hands.
"Oh! It turns out that Lu Zuo, whom everyone is talking about, is you!" King Wei realized something, and then looked him up and down, "Well... you really have extraordinary bearing!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary!"
Liu Xu came to visit the Earl's Mansion this time. He originally wanted to see Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan's attitude towards him now that he was in power. Now that there was a prince among them, he felt a little unhappy. He wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he couldn't just say that he was leaving now, so he asked Lu Zuo awkwardly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is also a guest of Uncle Ping Yuan now!"
Anyuanshan did not speak, Lu Zuo smiled and said, "Isn't the prince also a guest of Uncle Ping Yuan?"
Liu Xu didn't react for a while, and looked at Lu Zuo blankly, thinking about the meaning of his words, "I was about to go back to the mansion and happened to pass by the Earl's Mansion. I stopped by to see Amber. Now I am going to go back to the mansion early. . Everyone, I think I’d better just say goodbye!”
"The Earl's Mansion is far away from Prince Wei's Mansion, why would you take a detour and choose to pass by here?" Lu Zuo originally wanted to go slowly, but he didn't expect that Prince Wei wanted to leave now, so he said this bluntly.
"My king..." Liu Xu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to start.
"Your Majesty, this doesn't look like the prince who wants to show off his talents in regular subjects!" Lu Zuo said with a fatal blow.
In an instant, Liu Xu was even more confused. He looked at Lu Zuo and then at Mount Anyuan.
Anyuanshan saw that the atmosphere was solemn and everyone was standing again, so he comforted everyone and sat down to talk. After everyone was seated, only King Wei looked thoughtful. When he slowly sat down on the guest seat on the right, he almost sat down. to the ground.
After King Wei sat back down, he straightened his clothes, calmed down, and answered the question: "Mr. Lu, how are you doing in the prince's residence recently?"
Lu Zuo also knew the purpose of King Wei's question, so he gave the answer he wanted very much, "The common people are just country people. How can they adapt to the prince's mansion, so the common people moved away from the prince's mansion."
King Wei Liu Xu was startled at first, then secretly rejoiced, but he still wanted to ask clearly, "But wasn't the mansion you live in now given to you by the prince after he begged the queen?"
"On this trip, it's just me, my brother-in-law, and my apprentice Yin Ji. How can we live in such a big house, so today I want to pack my bags, move out of the big house, and still stay in the inn."
After Lu Zuo finished speaking, Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji looked at Lu Zuo with questioning eyes.
"The prince is so sincere to Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid that the prince will be angry?" King Wei asked with a proud look on his face.
"I am a scholar, how could the prince take me in his eyes? If he takes him in his eyes, it should be from a family like Wei Guogong Xun Yu and his family."
Wei King Liu Xu heard that there was something in Lu Zuo's words. No matter how stupid he was, he could still tell that there was something in Lu Zuo's words. "Otherwise, I am a talent lover. In my opinion, Mr. Lu is no worse than Xun Mou."
At this time, An Yuanshan also interjected: "Your Majesty will be the examiner of regular subjects this time. I wonder how prepared you are?"
Liu Xu smiled and said, "Since the emperor selected me as the chief examiner, my palace has been full of people."
"In the past, the examiners of the general examinations were all bachelors with Jinshi background, and officials above the rank of deputy capital or imperial envoy were appointed as ministers. This year, however, you, the King of Wei, will be the examiners. Is it really unbelievable?" Anyuanshan asked.
Liu Xu hesitated and said: "Who says it's not the case? But since my father is willing to entrust this important task to me, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
After Wei Wang Liu Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole hall condensed again, so Liu Xu continued to ask: "Your Excellency has been an official in the court for many years, and he knows more about my father and the king than I do. I wonder if I can Any advice?"
"Don't dare, I just want to warn the prince with just one sentence!" An Yuanshan said calmly.
Liu Xu frowned and listened carefully.
"Do it fairly!"
After hearing this, Liu Xu was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"The lower official has served the Holy Emperor for decades. It can be said that he knows him better than you princes. The reason why he chose you, King Wei, is partly because you are different from the Crown Prince and King Ning. The other half of the reason is that he doesn't want anyone to go beyond him and win over the world." Although An Yuanshan didn't pay much attention to these things, but in his heart, relying on his understanding of the Han Emperor, he actually had an understanding of the current situation. two.
Liu Xu looked at Anyuanshan and asked, "Amber, is this advice? Or is it a message?"
Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan chuckled, "Well...what do you think, Your Majesty?"
"If it's advice, I'll let it go! If it's advice, I'll take it as an example."
