Chapter 376 Haiguo's Response
It was not until Zhang Zhufeng's back disappeared from sight that Princess Rong Yue showed a sad expression. She turned around and walked slowly towards the palace where she lived.
Her shoulders were sore and she felt sore in her heart, so she walked very slowly.
When she returned to the palace, Princess Rong Yue paused at the door, sorted out her mood, and almost finished her expression. Then she raised a smile and walked into the yard. After entering the yard, Princess Fushou and Princess Xiaoyi were playing chess. She was obviously very devoted, but she still felt that Princess Rong Yue was back together.
Princess Fushou looked up at Princess Rong Yue and smiled: "Rong Yue, where are you going? Why did you come back so long?"
"You don't see you bring the guards arranged by the Queen for us," Princess Xiaoyi also looked over, "You are a princess after all, and safety is very important."
For some reason, Princess Rong Yue just felt a soft heart. She looked at her two sisters and felt a little urge to cry. In the past, she often showed an impatient attitude towards her two sisters, but now she felt that these two sisters were the best sisters in the world.
Noting that her expression was strange, Princess Fushou frowned: "Rong Yue, has he encountered something?"
Princess Xiaoyi also said, "Why do you seem unhappy?"
Princess Rong Yue didn't want them to see something wrong. She just carried some things by herself. Therefore, Princess Rong Yue hurriedly said, "No, it's me who was thinking about Lu Yujian just now."
"Lu Yujian?" Princess Fushou raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
Princess Rong Yue nodded: "Yes. I went to see the Queen just now. She kept telling me about her marriage with Lu Yujian, but how could it be so fast?"
As she said that, she sat down in front of the two princesses, raised her hand to cover her cheeks, looking shy.
Princess Fushou couldn't help laughing, and her suspicion disappeared from the end: "How come it wasn't so fast? When I went back to Haiguo, my father's envoy was about to come back."
She smiled and said, "Look, before coming, my father told me and Xiaoyi that it would be best if I could marry the saint of Chu State today, but if the saint had only such a queen, it would naturally not be possible. But if you could marry the saint's disciple and the queen's younger brother, then the father would definitely be very happy."
Princess Rong Yue blushed and said, "Sister, you just love to make jokes. He and I... have not reached that point yet."
"Why haven't you been? A few days ago, you went out to play together? I saw that when you came back, you were reluctant to leave outside the door. Xiaoyike and I saw it."
"Yes, I saw it all." Princess Xiaoyi also nodded.
But unlike Princess Fushou, she kept staring at Princess Rong Yue, as if she had noticed something was wrong, and her eyes were filled with scrutiny.
Princess Xiaoyi has always been calm and good at discovering.
Princess Rong Yue knew this well, and immediately smiled at her two sisters and said, "Ignore you, I will tell you nonsense. How could I say goodbye to Lu Yujian Yiyi! Humph, I'm going back."
As she said that, she really stood up and walked towards her room.
"But go and see the treasures that Lord Lu gave you? The ones he gave you are the best things in the entire capital." Princess Fushou said with a smile, "You have to take a look, don't lose it or ruin it."
With his back to his two sisters, Princess Rong Yue tried hard to pretend to be a shy and proud tone and said, "If it is lost or broken, he will definitely give it to me again."
After saying that, she trotted into her room and closed the door.
Looking at Princess Rong Yue's back, Princess Fushou smiled: "It's so good. I'll be happy to see Rong Yue."
She noticed Princess Xiaoyi's expression next to her again, and was a little strange: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Xiaoyi also stared at Princess Rong Yue's back, but unlike Princess Xiaoyi, she frowned, as if she was thinking about something. This was called Princess Fushou a little strange.
After hearing Princess Fushou’s question, Princess Xiaoyi frowned and said, “Sister, don’t you find it strange?”
"Strange?" Princess Fushou was slightly stunned, "Why don't I think? Are you talking about Rong Yue?"
"Yes, I always feel that she is a little different from the past." Princess Xiaoyi frowned and said.
Princess Fushou looked at the closed door and smiled: "Maybe it's because she has someone she likes, so it's a little different from the past, right? She seems to be in a good mood these days."
After a pause, she sighed again and said, "This is what we two sisters hope to see the most."
Princess Xiaoyi's frowning stretched slightly: "I hope I'm thinking too much. I hope everything is fine."
Princess Fushou looked at her: "Xiaoyi, if you meet the man you like in the future, you must be like Rong Yue, and you want to seize this fate, do you know?"
Princess Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you are now snatching your good sister by a man. If they really get married in the future, it will take a long time for you to meet her. Why do you still hope that I will get married with you now?"
"What does that matter? As long as you are happy, I will be very happy." Princess Fushou said with anticipation.
"Nonsense, Rong Yue and I are waiting to see your sister's happiness," Princess Xiaoyi smiled and left a piece on the chessboard. "So sister, if you meet the man you like in the future, don't miss the fate, hurry up."
Princess Fushou looked at her deeply: "You just hate it the most."
At this time, Princess Rong Yue stood in front of the window, her figure was hidden in the darkness. She looked at the two sisters playing chess in the yard, with sadness flowing in her eyes. She whispered to herself: "If Zhang Zhufeng really killed someone, I'm afraid no one in this palace can catch him..."
After all, Zhang Zhufeng is a master of Haihui Temple and was brought back by Princess Rong Yue. No matter whether it is his piety to religion or his respect for Princess Rong Yue, no one will really capture Zhang Zhufeng.
In this way, Zhang Zhufeng almost eliminated the motives and suspicions of all the crimes.
Only Princess Rong Yue knew the truth, but what should she say? She was going to tell the Queen today, but Zhang Zhufeng seemed to have known it a long time ago. What should she do?
After seeing off Princess Rong Yue and Zhang Zhufeng in the Queen's Hall, Liu Qingyan sat down for a short time before she heard that the envoy who went to Haiguo asked about the envoys of the Emperor of Haiguo had already returned. When the envoys came back, they also brought an official sent by the Emperor of Haiguo.
Liu Qingyan's eyes lit up and she felt a little nervous.
Lu Siguan was much calmer than her and immediately asked, "What kind of official is it?"
The person who reported the report replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the official's surname is Lin, and his name is Cheng, and he is the close servant of the Emperor Haiguo. He is almost responsible for all the royal affairs. The Emperor Haiguo trusts him very much. This time he sent him to our city, which is also considered to be a recognition and emphasis on this matter."
Liu Qingyan smiled and quickly summoned the envoy and the emperor of the Hai Kingdom to enter.
Lin Cheng is a young man, with a very beautiful face. Liu Qingyan looked at him with bright eyes. Lu Siguan noticed it, frowned immediately and cleared her throat.
Liu Qingyan refused to pay attention to him. The idea of Lu Si was that someone was present, so he couldn't say much, so he could only sulk.
Soon, the envoy and his close servant Lin Cheng entered the Queen's Hall together and bowed together. Liu Qingyan smiled at Lin Cheng and asked, "How? Have you the emperor received a letter of nationality sent by this palace? Do you know what Princess Rong Yue's encounter here?"
"Return to the Queen's words," Lin Cheng said, "The Emperor has already known about this. This time he sent the empress here to reply to the Queen."
"That's great. Lord Laulin, you have traveled like this." Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded.
After a pause, she asked with a smile: "So what happened? Do you emperor agree to this marriage?"
In Liu Qingyan's opinion, this marriage is almost certain. She wrote the letter of national marriage to ask for marriage by herself, and Du Changkang, who is good at writing, read it several times to make sure that his words are sincere and sincere.
When ordinary people see such a letter, let alone marrying their daughter, they may want to marry them.
After all, she wanted to think about the major events of her younger brother's life, and this big marriage would definitely promote the connection and friendship between Chu and Hai, which is beneficial and the only harm. Therefore, Liu Qingyan is full of confidence.
However, Lin Cheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Liu Qingyan, and said respectfully: "Return to the Queen's words, the emperor said that Princess Rong Yue is naughty by nature and is too young to marry Lord Lu."
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned, frowned, and asked, "Why don't you marry Lord Lu? What did your emperor really say? Is Princess Rong Yue still young now? I don't think Princess Rong Yue is a naughty person by nature."
Lin Cheng leaned on the ground and did not raise his head. He just apologized: "The Empress, please atone for your sins. This is the emperor's personal words. If there is any offense, the Empress, please punish the empress."
"What did I punish you for doing?" Liu Qingyan frowned, a little impatient.
Lu Siguan sighed, held Liu Qingyan's palm, and shook her head lightly.
Liu Qingyan glanced at him, and finally calmed down her mood and said to Lin Cheng: "Okay, if you can't, then you can't. What kind of national letter did you send?"
