live with conscience

Chapter 259

Ever since seeing him at the gate of the city, Ye Gubao felt that everything was going in a good direction.

Regardless of whether it is the power of the emperor or the power of King Taiping, they have made an agreement that they will no longer besiege and intercept the power of Baiyun City. , it can be regarded as a matter of business, and it won't be like before, he would rather hurt himself [-] than hurt him [-].

Even when discussing shipping cooperation in private, His Majesty the Emperor, who had always regarded him as his deadly enemy, even gave him a rare kind smile.

All these changes happened after the meeting with Her Royal Highness that day. Does it mean that Her Royal Highness has persuaded her royal brothers to accept him?

Ye Gubao feels that life is too promising.

Gladly, he generously invited Lu Xiaofeng to drink again: "Her Royal Highness and I are getting better, thank you Brother Lu for your guidance!"

After resting comfortably, Lu Xiaofeng immediately received warm hospitality, but Lu Xiaofeng, who was in a happy mood, took a sip of good wine...

"Getting better? With sister Lan?!" A bad premonition filled the brain: "What does Brother Gubao mean?"

Suddenly thanked him, what did he do?

"Brother Lu's words that day were really good words. The lonely castle is getting better and better. I really have to thank Brother Lu for his generous teaching."

What Ye Gubao said was very sincere, but because of the long-distance travel, Lu Xiaofeng, who had slept for seven days and seven nights before regaining his vitality, felt very cold in his heart.

He remembered that the last time he chatted with this Ye Gubao brother in front of him was seven days ago when he rushed here from Jiangnan and was warmly entertained by this Second Young Master Ye.

At that time, I was sleepy and tired, what did I say nonsense after drinking two cups?

"Brother Gubao, why do you want to fight to the death with Sister Lan's two elder brothers? In fact, as long as you make Sister Lan nod, even if her two elder brothers object, it will be useless!"

"It's going to rain, my sister is going to get married, even as an elder brother, there's nothing I can do about it!"

"So the direction of your efforts is not a bit biased. Although it is said that the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, but the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, don't they pay attention to happiness and hatred?"

"Brother Gubao, you are born noble, talented and handsome, and so affectionate and holy. How can there be a girl in the world who can reject you? You did it for Sister Lan, and she knows it in her heart. Sister Lan is not a cold-blooded person. So, what you lack most now is sister Lan's approval."

"Let me tell you, people rely on clothes and Buddha depends on gold clothes. If you want to win the favor of a heroine, it's best to wear white clothes. If you can still have a chance encounter in the peach forest, it will be even more sure..."

"By the way, there are also gifts. Sincere and thoughtful gifts are indispensable. Of course, sincere, precious and unique gifts are the key to success..."

The memory ends.

As soon as he woke up, he was entertained by his friends, and Lu Xiaofeng, who was extremely excited, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar: "Ahem... Brother Gubao, you... you really did it according to my method, did you?"

Can he still walk out of this door?

"Successful? Sister Lan agreed!"

Just kidding!

Lu Xiaofeng's tone was full of doubts, he still didn't know what the young master in front of him had done.

The main reason is that he doesn't think at all that his nonsense will be useful to that fairy princess!

If it works, he will definitely face the pursuit of an emperor, a prince's son...

Assuming it didn't work, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he would have to face the Sword God Flying Immortal.

How precious Ye Gucheng is to this younger brother, everyone in the world does not know, in order to help his younger brother marry the princess, Baiyun City, which has been run by the Ye family for generations, is willing to give it to him with both hands.

Whose brother can do this to this extent?

If Lu Xiaofeng accidentally tricked Ye Gucheng, Lord Ye, for the sake of his friends, at most he would be poked a few blood holes by the extremely angry city owner, and it would be over.

If he cheated his brother...

Lu Xiaofeng, who was in a dilemma, suddenly felt that his life was very bleak.

Fortunately, Ye Gubao really regarded Lu Xiaofeng as a mentor. After all, he made class progress with just a few pointers, so he didn't hide it.

"I really hope that I have only met the princess once when I entered the city. I don't know if I have succeeded. However, since I met the princess, His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Taiping have never felt sorry for Baiyun. the people of the city."

After hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart rose again: "You said...the two elder brothers don't make things difficult for you anymore?"

Ye Gubao didn't know why, so he nodded with a blushing face: "Today, when I was discussing overseas progress with His Majesty, His Majesty smiled at me for the first time."

Lu Xiaofeng: ...

That's Sister Lan and her brother, and it's not Sister Lan smiling at you. Why do you need to be so happy?

"I think it was probably Her Royal Highness' persuasion that made her two elder brothers let go of their prejudice against me." Ye Gubao said confidently: "I think as long as I behave more sincerely, they will You are willing to marry the princess to me."

Lu Xiaofeng: ...

I was struggling, should I tell the energetic young man in front of me sincerely that there was something wrong with his train of thought.

Under normal circumstances, well, the only possibility for those two pairs of elder brothers who are not normal at all to show friendship to you, the man who covets their sister, is that you are completely hopeless!

Otherwise, what you are facing should be a more intense and crazy blow.

However, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the sincere and joyful expression of the young hero in front of him, and thought of the shocking words of the Taiping Prince in Taoyuan.

Some words, even more do not know how to speak.

Said that Sister Lan's brother has a personality problem?

Or is it that all those who want to marry Princess Xiangu will end up in dire consequences?

It will have the opposite effect!

Once he opened his mouth, this young man in the lonely castle would definitely dare to do something like enter the palace to kidnap the princess and then elope and escape.

Fortunately, Ye Gubao didn't come to Lu Xiaofeng purely for personal matters: "Brother will come to the capital in a few days, Brother Lu has been waiting for Brother Lu all this time? Brother also wants to check with Brother Lu, Ximen Zhuang When will the Lord come?"

Lu Xiaofeng put away all kinds of romantic thoughts at once: "Gubao, you always tell Lu, do you really support the duel between Lord Ye and Ximen?"

Lu Xiaofeng struggled with this question for a long time.

Rationally speaking, this is their long-cherished wish. As a friend, he should be happy.

but……

The way of swordsmanship of the two is too similar...

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

As Ximen Chuuxue said: "My sword can only win, not defeat, and defeat means death."

The same is true for Ye Gucheng, the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Sky.

A competition where he was destined to lose a close friend, no matter how exciting and sensational it was, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't be happy.

Because he was unhappy, he was extremely agitated, so he tried to help Ye Gubao and provoke that terrible Prince Taiping.

He needs something dangerous to divert his attention.

Unfortunately, what should be faced still has to be faced.

Lu Xiaofeng poured the wine again: "I said something stupid, pretend I didn't say it! The deadline for the competition is still half a month away... In the world, it is really rare to have the best of both worlds."

Of course Ye Gubao also thought of the key point, but, like Lu Xiaofeng, he had no position to stop it.

That is, the battle of his elder brother's pursuit of his kendo, all he can do is not to become a drag on his elder brother's kendo.

For a while, the two people who had their own concerns were speechless, but they also clinked glasses tacitly and began to drink.

And in the palace, the same scene was also staged.

Since the return of Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Majesty the Emperor has been looking for Lin Lan to eat at the Compassionate Ning Palace every day. Of course, Zhu Yaojiu, who is eating and drinking, is also indispensable.

Well, because Lin Lan belongs to the category of an older princess, before she got married, she could only live with her mother.

As for Lin Lan's mother, the queen mother has passed away, and she is dressed in Taoist robes, which is quite suitable for chanting sutras to the queen mother in the side hall of the Buddhist hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

After the food was set, all the eunuchs and maids retreated, leaving only the three of them sitting comfortably.

The emperor's elder brother asked 98 times in eight days: "Xiao Lan, have you really decided to become a monk?"

Lin Lan also answered seriously twelve times today: "I have made up my mind."

In fact, she admired the elder brother of the emperor, and came to eat with her three times a day, and he asked this question four times a day, and he was convinced.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed very conflicted: "Do you really like the life of a monk so much?"

Lin Lan reiterated the correction again: "I just don't want to get married, and becoming a monk is the most suitable way."

His Majesty the Emperor became even more depressed: "Actually, as long as you don't marry someone like Ye Gubao, with your emperor's brother around, you can do whatever you want after marriage."

Whoever dares to talk too much will kill him!

A bad idea came up from the side: "Otherwise, you can pick someone at random, and I'll let him die of illness in a year or so. It's better to be a widow than a monk and a Taoist priest."

His Majesty the Emperor actually nodded in agreement to express his support: "You only need a puppet husband to give you an identity, there is no need to become a monk."

After the princess gets married... ahem... there is still a chance to remarry, and it doesn't matter if she gets married a few more times, since they are still their sisters anyway.

But a monk...

It is to practice in a Taoist temple, which is almost a clean relationship with the secular royal family.

Stay in the temple all year round...

It's hard to get together.

His Majesty the Emperor tried to cry: "Does the imperial sister despise the imperial brother so much?"

Lin Lan took a deep breath and gave up struggling: "After the martial arts competition on the top of the Forbidden City, I will officially become a monk. You can arrange the location, and I have no objection."

His Majesty the Emperor immediately stopped pestering him: "Then the new National Guard Temple in the suburbs of Beijing will be fine. Next to it is my secret military training site, Brother Emperor, which is safe and secure."

Zhu Yaojiu was a little confused: "I remember, there is no such thing as a Taoist temple in your military training site."

His Majesty the Emperor said as a matter of course: "Of course, the Taoist temple of my imperial sister's renunciation has to be newly established. Now that I have decreed that it will be completed in about four or five years. , sister."

Slow down!

Zhu Yaojiu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think this is very good, don't worry, the Taoist affairs will be left to your two elder brothers."

If you become a monk, you will become a monk. First stabilize people and keep them in front of you. There are always other ways.

There is another word called returning to vulgarity!

The two elder brothers who made up their minds immediately discussed very cooperatively how to start the Taoist temple.

"Sanqing Hall... Jade Emperor Hall... and Goddess Hall..."

Lin Lan: ...

Enough!

Are you planning to move all the gods of Taoism down?

The problem is, such a Taoist temple cannot be built in ten or twenty years!
