Lingchan Moon Palace.
In the courtyard, Bai Ling was sitting in front of the stone table, holding a flower in his hand and breaking the petals boredly.
The pink petals fell one by one.
Some of them fell on the hem of her pink skirt and blended into her skirt, as if they were the pink flowers embroidered on it.
Xia Chan held the sword and stood silently under the eaves, looking at her blankly, but her eyes were not focused, and her thoughts had flown to nowhere.
When footsteps sounded at the door.
The two of them came back to their senses and looked at each other.
A young man wearing a large Confucian robe walked in gracefully.
The delicate and handsome face and slender body were like a ray of sunshine, falling on the two people's originally calm and boring pupils, causing ripples in circles.
Bai Ling's eyes lit up, he stood up, smiled sweetly, with two sweet dimples on his face, and said crisply: "Uncle, are you here to pay your respects to the young lady so early?"
Pearl stood outside, not daring to come in.
Not everyone can enter this Lingchan Moon Palace.
Luo Qingzhou said directly: "Bailing, just now the eldest princess sent someone to the mansion and asked me to come over."
"The eldest princess?"
Bai Ling frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did the eldest princess ask you to leave?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged: "I don't know either, but the second lady is there."
Bai Ling said "Oh" and said strangely: "Then what are you doing here? Go quickly."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the girl under the eaves, then looked at her and said, "The eldest princess is a woman, can I go see her alone?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand.
Luo Qingzhou looked serious: "As a son-in-law, if I want to go out to meet other women, shouldn't the eldest lady send someone to follow me to supervise me?"
Bai Ling: "..."
She finally reacted, turned her head and looked at the girl under the eaves, and couldn't help but smile: "Chanchan, this is the first time that my uncle invites you to go out together. Go and supervise your uncle, don't let him get involved outside. You are a philanderer, I just look after the lady at home."
Xia Chan stood under the eaves with her sword in her arms, her face cold and motionless.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to walk over and say: "Miss Xia Chan, there is a reward. Please accompany me once and I will give you a bunch of candied haws."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a bunch of candied haws from behind and handed it to her.
When Bai Ling saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over quickly and said: "Uncle! Uncle! I will accompany you! I will supervise you! Let Chanchan watch the young lady at home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the candied haws in Luo Qingzhou's hand was suddenly snatched away.
Xia Chan held a sword in one hand and a candied haws in another hand, walked out of the eaves and walked towards the door coldly.
"Uncle..."
Bai Ling pouted her little mouth, looking pitiful.
Luo Qingzhou said: "No more, only one string left."
As he said this, he glanced at the cold girl who was walking towards the door, immediately took out another bunch, secretly put it into her hand, and then reached out and grabbed her pink face. Fang said seriously, Leave quickly.
Bai Ling held the candied haws in one hand and touched his pinched cheek with the other, stunned on the spot.
It wasn't until both of them walked out of the door that she stamped her feet and muttered: "Smelly uncle, you are taking advantage of me again! I hate it!"
As he said that, he narrowed his eyes happily and started eating the candied haws.
Pearl was anxious and walked quickly to lead the way.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind with Xia Chan.
When they arrived at the hall, a girl in a goose-yellow dress stood up from her chair and looked at him curiously. Fang smiled and said, "This must be Mr. Luo. The little girl Yue Wu is the maid beside the eldest princess. , the eldest princess would like to invite Young Master Luo to come, I wonder if it’s convenient for Young Master Luo?”
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Miss Yuewu, I wonder why the eldest princess is looking for me?"
Yue Wu smiled and said, "Young Master Luo, we'll find out naturally when we go."
Song Ruyue, who was accompanying the guest, stood up and said: "Qingzhou, go quickly, Wei Mo is still there. If the eldest princess has something to ask, if you can do it, you must do your best to help and satisfy the eldest princess."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Yes, mother-in-law."
Yue Wu smiled and said goodbye, "Mrs. Qin, let's leave first."
The group of people left the mansion.
At the gate, there was already a carriage waiting.
Yue Wu smiled and said, "Master Luo, please go first."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Xia Chan behind him and got on the carriage without any further refusal.
Xia Chan definitely couldn't get on the carriage.
There are some rules that must be followed outside.
Moon Dancer also got on the carriage.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage, both looking at each other.
Xia Chan and Zhu Er followed the carriage.
Followed by guards.
On the streets of the city, horse-drawn carriages could only walk slowly, not at a gallop.
"I heard from Miss Qin Er that Mr. Luo is a scholar and is preparing for next year's autumn exam. Miss Qin Er is known as the first talented woman in Mocheng, and even the eldest princess praised him for her poems. Presumably Mr. Luo's talent is also Excellent, right?"
Yue Wu smiled and said.
Luo Qingzhou said humbly: "How can I compare with Miss Qin Er? I am a die-hard reader. I can only memorize some articles and do some book questions. I don't have any talent."
Yuewu smiled slightly: "Mr. Luo, the little girl is a person who loves poetry very much. After following the eldest princess to Mocheng this time, she heard a few poems, all of which are amazing works of heaven and man. One of them is "Shui Tiao" "Gutou" is even more like the work of a poet descended from the earth. There is also a song "Yong Mei", which greatly impressed the little girl. However, the little girl spent a lot of effort to find people to find out, but she didn't know who the author of these two works was. However, the poem about plum blossoms, "It fell into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains the same" seems to have come from the Qin Mansion, could it be also written by Miss Qin?"
Luo Qingzhou looked calm: "Sorry, Miss Yuewu, I study at home every day and rarely go out. Moreover, I am not good at poetry, so I don't pay attention to these."
Yue Wu looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head, opened the curtain next to him, looked at the girl outside and said, "Are you tired?"
Zhu'er raised her head and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm not tired."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "I'm asking about Miss Xia Chan."
Pearl: "..."
Xia Chan stared straight ahead with a cold face and ignored him.
Luo Qingzhou put down the curtain, turned around, and locked eyes with the girl opposite.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the gate, there were many soldiers wearing silver armor and holding silver guns.
Luo Qingzhou could clearly feel the strong murderous aura emanating from these soldiers. They were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield and were stained with blood.
Yue Wu has a graceful figure and leads the way.
When they reached the entrance of the palace, the guard stretched out his hand to stop Xia Chan and Zhu'er from behind.
Luo Qingzhou turned to look at the two girls and said, "You guys wait here."
Pearl walked obediently to the side and stood respectfully.
Xia Chan was still following him, with a cold face and the sword tightly in her hand.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, then turned around and walked to her. He suddenly lowered his head, leaned into her ear and said, "Good boy, wait outside. When my uncle comes out later, I will get you some candied haws."
Xia Chan was startled for a moment, her eyes staring at his face close at hand, smelling the familiar scent of his body in her nose, feeling the gentleness in his voice in her heart, and her expression was slightly in a trance.
There was a pause.
She clenched the sword in her hand, turned and left, away from the guards and Pearl, standing alone under a big tree not far away, looking at him, her pretty face was still as cold as frost. .
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and followed Yue Wu into the house.
Stepping on a soft blanket, you walked through several gates guarded by female guards, and then turned into a luxuriously decorated corridor.
After passing through the long corridor, Fang entered a large hall.
On the right side of the main hall is a study room.
There were two maids in goose-yellow dresses standing at the door. When they saw him coming, they all looked at him.
Yue Wu walked to the door, bowed her head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Mr. Luo is here."
After a while.
A faint female voice came from inside the room: "Let him come in."
"yes."
Yuewu turned her head and glanced at the young man behind her, motioned for him to follow, and then walked in first.
Luo Qingzhou followed her into the room, stepping on the red blanket.
Immediately, he stopped in front of a bead curtain.
Yue Wu lowered his head, stepped aside, and said softly: "Master Luo, just stand here and answer."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head.
In front of the long table in the room, Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a long red dress, was sitting on her knees, holding a wolf hair and writing.
Miss Qin Er, dressed in a plain white dress, knelt down next to her and gently rubbed the ink for her.
Another moment passed.
Nangong Huo Yuefang said while writing: "Young Master Luo is a scholar. I have a few questions that I would like to ask you. I hope you can answer them."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Highness, please ask."
Nangong Huoyue said: "[A gentleman acts according to his position and does not want to be outside of it]. Does Mr. Luo think this sentence in "The Doctrine of the Mean" makes sense?"
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and replied: "A gentleman is happy and aware of his destiny. He is content with his current position. He walks in the mean, advances and retreats without losing sight of his path, does not envy anything other than his duty, and is not angry with anything other than his duty. I don’t think so. I think this sentence should be considered according to the situation. For some people, it makes sense, but for some people, it is too rigid and pedantic and should not be followed."
"oh?"
Nangong Huoyue put down the pen in her hand, turned her head and looked at him and said, "Explain."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "For some adults in official positions, this sentence can help them keep their peace, serve the public and the people wholeheartedly, not seek profit for themselves, not engage in fraud, not only think about promotion and wealth, and be good themselves" It’s a matter of duty. But for those soldiers or students, as well as those who still have a lot of room for improvement, this sentence will hinder their progress and destroy their ambitions. Just like soldiers, soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not Good soldiers, because only when soldiers have the dream of being a general can they be more passionate, more idealistic, more motivated, more brave, and able to fight the enemy regardless of risk. If every soldier keeps to himself and lives his life, he will just live his life. If you want to be a small soldier and just do your job well, then this army will not be able to fight, let alone win the war all the time."
After saying this, the room suddenly fell into silence.
After a while.
Nangong Huo Yuefang said: "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers... Mr. Luo, you said it well!"
Miss Qin Er, who was studying ink next to her, lowered her head and moved the corners of her mouth slightly.
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Luo think that as the commander of the first army, he should have this idea?"
