Chapter 471: Comparing and negotiating

Views:

Zhou Shizhi suddenly became nervous, stared at Lu Xiaoshu with piercing eyes and asked, "What did she tell you? She still has the face to come to you!" It was simply too much deception!

He stomped his feet and said with a sneer: "I have never seen such a shameless person! Xiaoshu, you must not trust her, and don't be angry about this matter, just leave everything to me!"

Seeing Zhou Shizhi who was quite nervous, with an expression of being extremely afraid of being angry and misunderstood, Lu Xiaoshu almost couldn't help laughing.

Originally, she didn't want to tease him, she just wanted to tell him her previous worries and present peace of mind and joy, but when she saw him like this, her heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but want to make a joke with him.

Lu Xiaoshu's eyes darkened, and with a look of resentment, he sighed softly, and said with a helpless smile: "I'm not angry... what right do I have to be angry? After all, the matter between the two of us hasn't been cleared yet. She has a marriage from the queen, so it's useless for me to be angry! But, you told me not to believe her? Could it be that the marriage from the queen is a fake?"

As Lu Xiaoshu spoke, his eyes lit up, and he looked at him eagerly, eagerly, and asked: "Brother Zhou, is it a fake marriage given by the empress? She lied to me and was just joking with me, right?"

Looking at the bright and pure eyes of the beautiful woman in front of him, Zhou Shizhi felt sad for a moment, distressed, and even more angry.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't bear to say a word.

Of course he couldn't lie to her, but the truth was too cruel, he couldn't bear to say it!

How could he bear her being sad

But it doesn't matter if you don't talk all the time, she is not stupid, she is not so easy to deceive.

Zhou Shizhi had countless ideas in his mind for a while, but none of them could be used right now, so he could only chirp and hum: "That... Xiao Shu... Actually, actually, it's not that serious... Everything can be discussed in the long run... Don't worry, we can still have a good discussion... "

Lu Xiaoshu saw that he was playing sloppy with him and only wanted to fool around. This look was really amusing. Enduring the urge to laugh, his face was full of resentment, and he said in surprise and joy. : "Really? Really... Can we still think about it in the long run?"

"Of course! Of course!" Zhou Shizhi heaved a sigh of relief when he was fooled, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course it is possible, I will definitely think of a way!"

He really couldn't see her sad and sad, and he felt distressed just by looking at her.

"Then what can you do?" Lu Xiaoshu asked immediately.

Zhou Shizhi was dumbfounded: Is there any way? He hasn't thought of it yet! Even a god can't think of an idea in one sentence, and then come up with a reliable idea in the next sentence!

After all, that is the queen's will, nothing else, if you don't be more careful and thoughtful, even if you succeed, you will easily leave troubles behind.

"You're just coaxing me! So you have nothing to do!" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes dimmed again, and he sighed softly.

"No! No! How could I coax you!" Zhou Shizhi had to admit: "I haven't thought of any good solution yet, but you believe me, I will definitely think of it!"

Lu Xiaoshu sighed: "You don't have to lie to me, and you don't have to blame yourself! I also know how difficult this is! Even if you can't do it, I can't blame you! After all, it's not your fault either! I was indeed a little angry at that moment when I heard about it, and I was a little bit angry at you, but think about it carefully, what does it matter to you? You definitely don’t want to in your heart! I’m afraid you got the news not much earlier than me—oh No, it must be later than me! Last night, the princess specially sent someone to send me two boxes of snacks to express her concern, and she also told me how lively the harem banquet was last night!"

Hearing that Lu Xiaoshu was so considerate and understood him, Zhou Shizhi's heart warmed up, and when he heard the crown prince sent someone, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Prince princess? She also came to intervene? What kind of excitement is this?" !"

Lu Xiaoshu snorted softly: "Need to say? Of course it's because of my excitement! How can she let go of such a great opportunity?"

Zhou Shizhi couldn't help sneering, and said coldly: "She's really boring! Just this kind of person can also be a princess. This is the future queen. The empress really chose a good marriage for the prince—"

Zhou Shizhi suddenly stopped talking, and the tricky relationship between the queen and the prince became clearer: With the queen's shrewdness, if she really wanted to marry such a prince for the sake of the prince, it was absolutely impossible for him to marry such a prince. concubine! No matter how powerful the princess's natal family is, it won't do it!

I heard that a few years ago, the empress doted on the crown princess very much, and asked the crown prince to let her go in everything. It was precisely because of this that the temper of the crown princess became more and more spoiled.

The crown prince caused a scandal, and the emperor didn't like it. Didn't the incident also happen because of the crown prince

In this way, the prince is definitely not the queen's biological son!

"Why are you in a daze!" Lu Xiaoshu saw that he was in a daze for a while, his eyes were flickering on and off, and he thought he was trying hard to find an idea, so he said, "You don't have to worry too much, I know the way Well, it’s natural to think about it, but it’s not something that can be imagined in a short while—”

Lu Xiaoshu became addicted to acting, and wanted to be more cute and pitiful, so he sighed softly: "Even if, even if I can't think of a way, I won't blame you, then it can only be said that we two are not destined, alas! This is What is predestined by the heavens cannot be changed by manpower, I also recognize it! Besides, Princess Qinglan is pure in nature, no matter what, she is much better than the young lady of the Wang family. Marrying her is better than marrying the Wang family. That woman is much better!"

You didn't think it was enough, so she sighed and added: "Then I'm relieved!"

Zhou Shizhi felt extremely sad when he heard it, and was about to comfort her when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

His expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered his composure. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became: Xiaoshu doesn't have this kind of temper. Why does this tone of self-pity sound so—so awkward

Before, he was anxious and distressed, and he didn't have time to think about anything else for a while, but now he really noticed it, and the more he thought about it, the more awkward he felt! It's really awkward!

Looking at her secretly again, he finally noticed the slightly upturned corners of her mouth and the trace of a smile on her face that she was trying to hold back.

Zhou Shizhi couldn't help being funny and annoyed: Damn girl, how dare you play tricks on me!

After thinking about it, he looked at Lu Xiaoshu more tenderly, not only tenderly, but also moved, and he said softly: "Xiaoshu, I knew you were the most considerate! If you think so, I can rest assured! Even if we have no fate, I will always remember you in my heart!"

"What?" Lu Xiaoshu's expression changed, he stared at him and said, "Say it again? What did you say?"

Zhou Shizhi suddenly understood: This is his true face of Xiaoshu!

He looked at her with a half-smile, which meant nothing.

Lu Xiaoshu suddenly felt guilty, and subconsciously withdrew his gaze from staring at him, and said embarrassingly, "You, why are you looking at me like this!"

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Zhou Shizhi was furious, "Fake it, why don't you pretend it!"

He couldn't help being a little annoyed, and snorted: "So in your heart, this is just a joke? I'm so anxious to get angry!"

Lu Xiaoshu remembered that he couldn't help but slumped on the coffee table just now and laughed, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, I can't help but tease you!"

"You!" These words were from her heart, the real words from her heart, but saying it at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire. Zhou Shizhi snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Xiaoshu! You are getting worse and worse!"

He stared at her, really wanting to teach her a good lesson! It's a pity that she hasn't really belonged to him, otherwise, hmph, how could she be so presumptuous...

"Don't be angry! Don't be angry!" Lu Xiaoshu saw that he was really embarrassed, and felt that he had gone too far just now, so he pulled his sleeve and apologized repeatedly.

It was rare for Zhou Shizhi to listen to her coquettish and soft words a few times. He was not angry at first, and now he became even less angry. However, he was unwilling to let her go so easily, so he kept quiet on purpose. Watching her flattering her in every possible way, she kept talking good things.

The voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Xiaoshu also felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but punched him and cursed with a smile. Zhou Shizhi also replied with a smile, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing for a while, both of them stopped their expressions and started talking about business.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Princess Qinglan has already come to me and explained everything to me—don't interrupt or get angry, just listen to me and you'll understand what's going on!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said exactly what Princess Qinglan said.

Zhou Shizhi was also very surprised after hearing this, and said in astonishment: "It turned out to be like this! Speaking of which, we have to thank Princess Qinglan!"

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "It's really thanks to her being here last night! Otherwise, we would be in even more trouble!"

Zhou Shizhi nodded and said, "But no matter how troublesome it is, I will try to solve it!"

"En!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded with a smile, she believed in him, and she herself would not give up.

The two talked for a while, and seeing the moon was setting to the west, Zhou Shizhi knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to her.

"I'm almost suffocated, and the palace banquet is over, so I don't have to pretend to be sick, right?" Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips before parting.

Zhou Shizhi thought that the fourth girl of the Lu family was about to get married and was preparing for her marriage. The entire Lu family was busy with this matter, and there was no reason to prepare for two marriages at the same time. He guessed that the queen would not point her out to the third. Prince.

Even if they mean it, they won't get married anytime soon.

He felt a little relieved, so he smiled and said: "Then don't pretend! Just go out and be more careful, don't be too nonsense!"

Lu Xiaoshu really didn't like to hear these words, he snorted, "Where am I messing around? No matter how messed up I am, I won't climb someone's wall in the middle of the night!"

"..." Zhou Shizhi couldn't laugh or cry.
