There was silence in the room for a moment.
After hearing this, Mrs. Changsun looked confused and murmured: "The clock of creation is beautiful, the yin and yang cut off the dusk... Zeng Yun is born from the chest, and the returning bird comes from the canthus..."
In her mind, she seemed to recall the spectacular and beautiful scenes she had seen when she climbed up the majestic mountains when she was a child.
The eldest grandson Wan'er on the side was repeating: "I will be at the top of the mountain, and I can see all the mountains and small mountains..."
Then she suddenly bowed and said with a complicated expression: "Master Luo, this poem is based on the word "Wang" in the title. Every sentence writes about looking at the mountains, but there is no word "Wang" in the whole poem, which can give people a sense of "Wang". The feeling of being in the scene is so exquisite and wonderful, the philosophy is profound, and it is amazing. Mr. Luo is a great talent, but Wan'er is not as good as him!"
The Empress Dowager Changsun also nodded and praised: "It is indeed a good poem. Luo Qing's talent is an eye-opener for me. He is indeed someone who is favored by both Your Majesty and Huo Yue."
Then he looked at Nangong Yang and said with a face full of joy: "Your Majesty, I will feel relieved to have Luo Qing accompany you to study."
Nangong Yang said with a smile on his face: "Luo Qing accepts the title."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands, listening attentively.
Nangong Yang said: "Today I will appoint you as my imperial companion. You can come into the palace at any time to read and talk with me."
Then he ordered to the door: "Li Gui, let me know. From now on, Luo Qing can enter and leave the palace freely. He cannot be blocked and does not need to be searched!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Gui agreed and immediately bowed out, his eyelids twitching.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to express his gratitude and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I will take part in the examination next year. I have to be busy studying and preparing for the exam every day. I may not be able to go to the palace to serve Your Majesty often."
Nangong Yang smiled and said: "Queen Mother, Imperial Sister, have you seen that scholars are aloof and stubborn. If it were someone else, they would be eager to come to my side every day to please me, so that I can favor him in the palace examination next year. Take a look. Luo Qing, I asked him to come into the palace to read with me, but he still resisted and refused, and he was not happy."
Changsun smiled and said: "This is a capable minister who does practical things and does not resort to fraud. Your Majesty will stay away from those flattering and flattering people."
Nangong Yang said with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is true. Luo Qing's character is destined to be an upright and loyal minister in the future."
Then he looked at the girl beside him and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Huang, what do you think? From now on Luo Qing will assist me, do you think I can govern the world well?"
Changsun's eyes also looked over.
Nangong Huoyue said with an indifferent expression: "Some people are respectful and upright on the surface, but who knows what dirty things they will do behind the scenes. Your Majesty, you can't just look at people on the surface, you should have more contact and get to know them better. Make your decision again.”
Nangong Yang said with a smile: "If it were someone else, I would definitely give it more consideration. But Luo Qing, he was chosen by the imperial sister herself. The imperial sister has been stronger than me since she was a child, so the person I chose cannot be wrong. I If you believe in Sister Huang, naturally, you will also believe in Luo Qing."
Nangong Huoyue said no more.
At this time, Mrs. Changsun stood up from the chair and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty, Huoyue, the food is almost cold. You should eat first. The queen is a little tired, so she will go back to rest first."
Nangong Yang quickly supported her and said, "Mother, why don't we have dinner together?"
Changsun patted his hand tenderly and said: "Mother has already used it. Huo Yue has just come back. You two siblings haven't seen each other for so long. Let's have a good meal together and talk about border affairs. Mother You can't let go here either. Just let Luo Qing accompany you, and the queen will go back to rest first."
Nangong Yang said: "Then let me send you out."
Changsun nodded.
Luo Qingzhou quickly bowed and said: "Farewell to the Queen Mother."
Changsun looked at him and said with a kind face: "Luo Qing, study hard when you go home and try to get a good rank in the exam next year. Then you can assist the Emperor Zuo. You are not much older than the Emperor. From now on, you will be a disciple and a disciple of the Emperor." , both ministers and friends, working diligently together to serve the country and the people, it is also a good story to spread."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "I will bear this in mind."
Changsun nodded, and slowly left the room surrounded by the young emperor and maids.
When the eldest grandson Wan'er passed by, she glanced at him again, lowered her head slightly and said: "Mr. Luo, Wan'er will ask you for advice again when I have the opportunity in the future. Wan'er is convinced that she lost tonight. Wan'er is deeply impressed by the talent of the young master. I am impressed and hope to have the opportunity to meet the young master again in the future."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands, without squinting: "Miss Wan'er said something serious."
Changsun Wan'er glanced at him again before walking away slowly.
In the house, it becomes quiet.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the door, then turned his head and met the eyes of the eldest princess.
The two people's eyes met, both were silent, neither spoke.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze and continued to stand with his head lowered.
Not long after.
Surrounded by eunuchs and maids, Nangong Yang returned from outside and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, come, let's eat, let's chat while we eat."
Then he said again: "Luo Qing, you also sit down."
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to refuse, Nangong Huoyue suddenly said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, since he is a minister, he must abide by the rules. How can a minister and a king be equals?"
Nangong Yang glanced at her, smiled and lowered his head and said, "Sister Huang taught me a lesson."
Then he walked to the table and said: "Luo Qing, come and pour wine for me and the imperial sister. How about it?"
Luo Qingzhou walked over, picked up the wine bottle and said, "I am flattered."
Nangong Huoyue gave him a cold look, walked to the table and sat down.
Nangong Yang smiled and sat down.
Luo Qingzhou had just poured him a glass of wine. When he reached out to take it, he suddenly knocked it over on the ground.
The wine glass shattered and wine splashed everywhere, soaking his shoes.
Seeing this, Li Gui quickly came over and knelt on the ground, picked up his sleeves, and was about to wipe them.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yang kicked him away, raised his palm, slapped him in the face, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Bitch, are you blind or dumb? Luo Qing is weak. Scholar, I just came to serve in the palace. I can't pour wine. It's understandable. Don't you know how? Luo Qing poured the wine so full, didn't you know to remind me? My hand slipped, so you didn't know to crawl over immediately. Catch? Blind idiot, what use do you have?"
Li Gui's face turned pale with fright. He knelt down and kowtowed in a low voice, desperately trying to admit his mistake.
Nangong Yang had a sinister look on his face, and kicked him in the face again, knocking him to the ground and angrily saying: "Get out!"
Li Gui rolled around and retreated.
Nangong Yang turned around, with a smile on his face again, and said: "Luo Qing, ignore that slave and pour the wine."
The palace maid had already brought a new white jade wine glass.
Luo Qingzhou held the wine flask and carefully poured half a glass.
Nangong Yang smiled, picked up the wine glass, and was about to pay homage to the eldest princess when a palace maid next to her knelt down and brought a new pair of shoes, ready to help him put them on.
Nangong Yang glanced at her, then suddenly kicked her in the face, knocking her to the ground, and said angrily: "You have to be extravagant? Are you blind? Luo Qing is here to take care of you. , put down your shoes!”
The palace maid hurriedly put the new shoes on the ground and retreated in panic.
A smile appeared on Nangong Yang's face again, and he said: "Luo Qing, these servants don't even look at me. Compared with you, they are far behind."
As he spoke, he raised his feet and said, "My shoes are wet, and they are really uncomfortable to wear."
Luo Qingzhou paused, put down the wine bottle, went over and squatted down, picked up the shoes on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will help you put them on."
Nangong Yang looked across with a smile and said, "Sister Huang, the person you chose for me is really loyal."
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to lift his feet, Nangong Huoyue suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Put down your shoes!"
There was sudden silence in the room for a moment.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at her.
Nangong Yang's eyes flashed, and he was still smiling.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze and was about to continue doing his own thing with his head lowered when Nangong Huoyue suddenly came over and kicked him on the side. He kicked him away and said with a cold look on his face: "As a scholar, , you are so flattering and have no integrity, it is in vain that I looked up to you and had high hopes for you!"
Then he shouted coldly: "Get out! I can't even eat when I see you now!"
Luo Qingzhou stood up, bowed his head and stood aside, but did not go out.
Nangong Huoyue stared at him with cold eyes, the fists in her sleeves were slowly clenched, and her long black hair behind her was moving automatically without wind.
Nangong Yang suddenly smiled and said: "Sister Huang, don't be angry, it's just a trivial matter."
Then he waved his hand and said: "Luo Qing, please go out and wait."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and left. When he walked to the door, he saw Li Gui's eyes full of hatred and contempt.
"Snapped!"
Luo Qingzhou went up and slapped him, but said nothing and went out to stand in the corridor outside.
Li Gui suddenly froze, covering his burning cheeks, and was stunned for a few seconds. He opened his mouth to curse, wanted to go over and fight, and wanted to go into the house to complain, but he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only stand where he was, gritting his teeth. .
"Sister Royal, I propose a toast to you."
Nangong Yang's voice came from the room.
The two siblings chatted for a while, talking about trivial matters in the palace. Neither of them mentioned a word about border matters or national affairs.
Not long after, Nangong Huoyue stood up and said goodbye.
Nangong Yang stayed with her for a few words, then sent her out in person, with a smile on his face.
When he walked outside the door, Nangong Yang looked at Luo Qingzhou who was standing in the corridor and said: "Luo Qing, please send the emperor sister out. It's getting late, so you should go back early. After you go back, study hard. If you want to You can come to the palace at any time."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said goodbye.
Nangong Huoyue walked in front with a flaming red dress and a cold face.
Nangong Yang looked at the two people's backs, still with a rich smile on his face.
Li Gui also quickly followed out and prepared the carriage.
After passing through the long courtyard, exiting the palace gate, and walking through the long alley, Nangong Huoyue stopped in front of the luxuriously decorated sedan, turned her head, and looked behind her.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head, looked into her eyes, then lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, walk slowly."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, dragged her long skirt and went straight onto the sedan.
Yue Wu and Yue Ying took their guards and left quickly in the sedan.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze and got into the carriage.
Li Gui and the guards escorted the carriage out of the palace and headed towards the outer city.
Luo Qingzhou sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and slowly clenched the fists in his sleeves.
At this moment, the curtain next to him suddenly moved.
Immediately, a paper ball rolled down into the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou picked up the ball of paper from the ground, slowly opened it, and looked intently at the words on it.
"Sir, I have made you suffer. I am incompetent, I'm sorry."
Luo Qingzhou stared at these small words for a long time. When the carriage left the inner city, he held it in his hand and crushed it to pieces.
What he wanted to hear wasn't an apology.
At this moment, the messenger document on his body suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and it was from the princess: [Mother promised to help me convince my father. I should be able to go to the Qin Mansion tomorrow. Although I really hope to go tomorrow so that I can see you and bite you secretly, I still want to remind you that if you want to leave, leave early, otherwise you won’t be able to leave by then. Don’t worry at home, as long as I live, no one will dare to touch any of the women in your harem, and I will fight them to the death]
Luo Qingzhou paused and replied: [Princess, thank you]
Xiao Meijiao: [Is it just a verbal thank you? 】
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes and was quiet for a while, then opened his eyes and replied: [I will go find you when I come back]
Xiao Meijiao: [Where to find me? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Your boudoir]
Little Meijiao: [Why are you going to my boudoir? Take advantage of Xue Yi? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Take advantage of you]
Xiao Meijiao: [You think Meijiao is thanking me for taking advantage of me? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Princess, I want to cook rice with you]
After the message was sent, it took a long time to reply: [Okay, I'll wait for you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Yeah]
Xiao Meijiao: [No cheating! Otherwise, I will tell Wei Mo and my aunt what you said last time, so that you will be embarrassed to see others in the future, hum! 】
Luo Qingzhou: [I won’t cheat, Princess, I will definitely be responsible for you]
Xiao Meijiao: [No need, my father and mother will not agree. You can just come secretly to accompany me from now on, let me secretly get pregnant with your baby, and then I will secretly run away from home and secretly help you outside. After giving birth to the baby, I finally went home pretending as if nothing had happened. As for the baby, let Weimo and Chanchan raise it, do you agree? 】
Luo Qingzhou looked down at these words and did not reply.
Little Meijiao: [Brother Feiyang, Meijiao loves you. Meijiao doesn’t ask for any status, I just want you to be well. Then, just come and accompany Meijiao occasionally. Meijiao will never marry, and will always be your little lover secretly, so Meijiao will be satisfied]
Luo Qingzhou: [silly girl]
Xiao Meijiao: [I am not the only silly girl. Xueyi seems to have discovered your identity. Every day I either read your "The Story of the Stone" or read your poems. Every night I frown and sigh like a harem. , and always ask me about your latest news, and also ask me why I don’t bring you to the house to play. Brother Feiyang, you’d better pray that my father and mother don’t discover your secret, otherwise, you will definitely be dead]
Luo Qingzhou: [Good night, Princess]
Little Meijiao: [Ouch, I’ll bite you! Bad guys just like to seduce beautiful sisters, hum! 】
Luo Qingzhou did not reply.
Just as I closed my eyes, the message document in my hand suddenly lit up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was from Xiaoyue, who had not spoken for a long time.
Xiaoyue: [Brother, my sister is in a bad mood. Can I see you tonight? 】
