No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 216 Seeing (two more)
After lunch at Luo's house, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao got up to leave when they saw that it was getting late.

Luo Yun reluctantly sent his daughter and son-in-law out of the gate, repeatedly urging his daughter to come back more often to see his father.

Luo Junyao naturally promised to come back often, and Luo Yun released him with satisfaction.

The Luo family and the Prince Regent's Mansion are not far away, and they can be reached within a short stroll.Luo Junyao originally planned to go home and have a look when he had nothing to do. After all, there are really few people in the Prince Regent's Mansion, so the Luo family is more lively.

After leaving the Luo residence, Xie Yan looked down at Luo Junyao and said softly, "Where else do you want to go?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Aren't you going back to the palace?"

Xie Yan said: "I have nothing to do today, I can go shopping with you." After today, even if Xie Yan's wedding leave is used up, the Prince Regent still has a lot of daily affairs, and he will definitely not be idle in the future.

Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, and it seemed that there was nothing in particular he wanted to go to.

In fact, there is really nothing particularly interesting in this era. A girl’s house is nothing more than visiting the garden and enjoying flowers, gatherings, drinking tea, listening to books, and shopping.Having just experienced the hasty preparations for the wedding, Luo Junyao temporarily has a psychological shadow on the matter of shopping.

Xie Yan couldn't help laughing seeing her looking like she was thinking hard.

"Since there is no place you want to go, why don't you go to Nanshi for a walk?"

"Okay!" Luo Junyao agreed without even thinking about it. His Royal Highness the Regent is simply the savior of the difficult choice.

The carriage arrived at Nanshi all the way and stopped at the intersection.

During the day, Nanshi was as lively as ever. Although there was nothing interesting to do, Luo Junyao still had a great time here.

Watch juggling, buy snacks, and shop around the street.

Just like everyone knows that the streets of modern scenic spots are all the same and there is nothing to do, but if you really go there, you still have to go shopping and buy to have fun.

After all, it's all here.

In the end, Xie Yan asked his attendants to send the pile of odds and ends that Luo Junyao bought back to the palace first, and then he dragged Luo Junyao to Pinyiju.

It was already evening when the two sat down in Pinyiju, and Pinyiju was almost full of people.

The two were led by the shopkeeper to a corner near the window in the lobby on the second floor. The shopkeeper was a little cautious, "My lord, my concubine, I'm really sorry. The shop has no wing rooms today..."

Pinyiju's business has always been very good. Although it is customary to reserve two rooms for emergencies, today even those rooms are gone.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Regent and the Princess would be here today?

Luo Jun smiled and said: "It's okay, there are only two of us, it's more lively sitting outside."

Xie Yan didn't speak, but nodded to express his agreement with Luo Junyao's words.

Only then did the shopkeeper heave a sigh of relief, "Thank you, my lord, my concubine. I'm here to congratulate my lord and my concubine on their wedding. It's a little bit of a gesture of appreciation for the small shop to invite me for this meal."

Luo Jun smiled, "Shopkeeper, are you so generous in your business?"

The shopkeeper smiled calmly: "The presence of the prince and princess will only make the small shop flourish. I am afraid that the business will be better in the future. Thanks to the blessings of the two of you. If the two of you are willing to visit more often in the future, the small shop will be prosperous." It’s an honor to invite you every time.”

"That's embarrassing, I'd like to thank the shopkeeper today." Luo Jun said with a smile.

The two quickly ordered, and the shopkeeper retreated respectfully.

Although many people saw them when they came up, no one came forward to disturb them.Luo Junyao could also feel the eyes of many people around her who thought they were secretly probing, but as long as the other party didn't come forward to disturb her, she was not afraid of people watching.

What's more, you can't see anything through the screen.

After shopping all afternoon, she was indeed a little hungry.

The food was served very quickly, while eating, Luo Junyao said with emotion: "In places like Shangyong, the food in Pinyiju is the best."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "If you like it, you can invite the cook from Pinyiju back."

Luo Jun said: "Forget it, it tastes better when you eat it once in a while. Besides, with such a good cooking skill as the chef, more people should be able to taste it."

Xie Yan smiled and said nothing, raised his hand to pick up some of her favorite dishes for her.

While eating, the two listened to the chatter of diners around them.

Those who can eat in a place like Pinyiju are naturally not ordinary people. Although they were a little surprised by the arrival of the regent, they gradually put them aside when they saw that they were indeed only sitting in a corner of the lobby and concentrating on eating. up.

You can always hear some anecdotes in crowded places. I don’t know if it’s because they are here. These people all avoided the big event of the regent’s wedding with the same kind of heart, and it was the envoys of the Qi people who talked more about it. matter.

Outsiders only know that the envoys sent by the Qi tribe this time include the queen of the Qi tribe, but they don't know that the queen of the Qi tribe is Bai Jingrong.

There are many more young people, most of them don't even know who Bai Jingrong is.

Even if they had heard of her reputation, most of them only knew Mrs. Rong, King Qi's.

"The Qi people just sent their protons, why did they send another envoy?" Someone asked in puzzlement.

The other person was obviously more informed, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Qi people still want to reconcile with us, sign an agreement not to fight for 20 years or something."

The two sides were forced to cease fighting before, and the condition of the cease-fire was to send the prince as a pledge.But this kind of truce is actually not binding. As long as the Qi people don't care about the proton's life, or Dasheng wants to send troops, they can light up the war at any time.

Maybe he can kill the proton sacrificial flag first.

Although signing a formal agreement may not be binding, but the first party to tear up the agreement will be spurned and guarded by the four countries.

The agreement is not very useful, but if a country often tears up the agreement, it must be untrustworthy to other countries.

At the same time, this agreement is also a statement to all parties.

"This... will the higher-ups agree?" Someone asked.

"Should...no?" The person who answered was rather hesitant, "After all, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and General Luo have fought against the Qi people for so many years, so they will definitely not agree."

"But, isn't it because we don't want to fight with the Qi people because we don't want to fight?"

"If you can not fight, it is a good thing."

"If you don't want to fight now, it doesn't mean you don't want to fight in the future."

"That's true, then..."

Luo Junyao propped his chin and listened intently. There was a screen behind them, people outside couldn't see the inside clearly, but Luo Junyao could see the people outside through the screen.

Xie Yan said helplessly: "Don't you know everything? Are you still listening so hard?"

Luo Jun said: "I want to hear what other people think about these things. It seems that everyone doesn't want to fight."

Xie Yan said: "Except for ambitious lunatics, no one wants to fight if they can."

In the history books of war, it may be that a golden horse and an iron horse swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, or an iron-blooded man who rides a horse and slashes a sword, with a strong military spirit.But in reality, there are rivers of blood and mountains of bones.

Countless young and strong men buried their bones in the battlefield, and countless civilian husbands were exhausted to death on the way.How many other people have no one to support their wives and parents, and their land is barren and uncultivated.

Not to mention, because of successive years of wars, how many taxes have weighed on the people so that the people can't breathe.

Xie Yan didn't understand these things by himself, he used to be just a general who devoted himself to fighting for the country.He just needs to win one after another on the battlefield to keep the enemy out.

But when he took on more responsibilities, he realized how many people had paid the price behind the glory and victory he had gained in the bloody battle.

One will be a million bones.

Thousand-year achievements are not just forged by the blood of soldiers and enemies.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "You are right."

"I have met the Regent, Wangfei." A tall man turned around from behind the screen and said respectfully.

This is the first person who dared to approach here, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Luo Jun shook his head to look at the man, and found that it was a young man in his early twenties.

The young man was tall and straight, with a fair complexion and deep features. He was not ugly even if he was pretty.It's just that there is obviously a bit of foreign blood in his eyebrows, Luo Junyao has seen many such people, such as Ji Rong, such as Xie Woyun.

This person is obviously also a mixed race born of the Qi people and the Central Plains people.

Xie Yan glanced at him and didn't speak. The young man was obviously a little afraid of Xie Yan, and immediately lowered his head and said: "Madam would like to invite the prince and princess to meet."

Xie Yan said: "Tomorrow, at the end of the hour."

The young man obviously knew quite a bit about the Dasheng court.

Tomorrow is the grand court meeting of the Dasheng court, which usually ends from Yinshizhong to Sishizhong.Most of the foreign envoys' meeting with them is arranged at the time of Chenshi, which is neither too early nor too late.

The young man frowned slightly and said: "Madam wants to meet the prince in private." If he just wanted to meet in the hall, why did Madam let him go this way?
Xie Yan said: "Since Mrs. Rong came to Dasheng as an envoy of the Qi clan, she should know some rules. Before the envoy meets His Majesty, the king will not see anyone."

The young man's brows twitched slightly, and there seemed to be some displeasure in his expression.

But Xie Yan glanced over indifferently, and he immediately calmed down after being startled.

He stood there in silence for a moment, and finally turned around and left without saying anything.

Seeing him coming and going, Luo Junyao held his chin and said, "Why does that Mrs. Rong have to see you before meeting His Majesty?"

Moreover, it has been two or three days since the letter of credence was handed in. Although it is said that there will be no grand meeting in these two days, Bai Jingrong will not enter the palace to see His Majesty Dasheng because of this, which is somewhat neglectful.

Xie Yan said: "Maybe I want people to know... Qi people respect me very much, right?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Luo Junyao's mind, "Praise? Uh...they are not qualified to praise and kill the Dasheng Regent. Is this sowing discord?" It is probably a routine like sending a stunning beauty to Xie Yan before, and it may not be really effective, but It is inevitable that people will feel a little irritated.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that she really doesn't want to make you happy." Even if there is something to ask, she still wants to talk to others first.

Xie Yan didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's hard to say who is more unhappy now. Shake and eat?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Eat well, let's go home."

Xie Yan's eyes were gentle, and there was a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay, let's go home." He stood up and stretched out his hand to Luo Junyao.

Luo Junyao stood up, holding hands together, one big and one small.

The two walked out of the small world behind the screen hand in hand, and walked downstairs under the gaze of everyone.
