Chapter 29: Hanlin's gossip heart

The young man who appeared suddenly was quite stareless, but Lu Qipei and Qi Yang finally left with him. The reason is simple. Liu Chen didn't come here alone today. He was accompanied by several colleagues from the Imperial Academy.
Lu Qipei is not interested in dealing with colleagues during the break. But the other party has seen herself and offered an invitation like Liu Chen, who is not savvy, so there is not much room for her to refuse. At this time, I will offend people for a few small things. And they really can't find an open space, right?
With a little apology, Lu Qipei said to Qi Yang: "It's getting late, we also need a place to eat."
Qi Yang didn't mind, and she was also very concerned about Lu Qipei's situation in the Imperial Academy. It was a good time to see her getting along with her colleagues. So they didn't refuse, and the three of them went back to the empty space that Liu Chen and others had already occupied.
The two sides greeted each other, and Lu Qipei took a look and found that there was no difficult person present, and he was slightly relieved. But having said that, Liu Chen is new to the Imperial Academy, except for some good-tempered people, who would sell him to make appointments?
They are all rare good old people in the Hanlin Academy, and there will be no embarrassment to Lu Qipei. Even after the previously unscrupulously disturbing people on the date, this group of people is still a little bit ridiculous when they see Qi Yang. However, most of them are much older than Lu Xiuzhuan, and the little uncomfortableness is quickly left behind, and they greet the young unmarried couple enthusiastically.
Someone asked curiously: "Lu Xiuzhuan is so young, is he already married?"
Lu Qipei smiled shyly. She looked at Qi Yang and replied deliberately: "It was just decided recently."
Isn't it just set recently? Half an hour earlier, she didn't know that she already had a fiancée. However, she didn't want to deny Qi Yang's words. The only thing she worried about was that there were too many variables in this life. Qionglin's marriage after the banquet was gone, and she didn't know when she would enter the emperor's eyes?
Another person next to him answered and joked: "That's really a pity. I watched Lu Xiuzan's list of talents, and originally wanted to introduce her to you. Now that Lu Xiuzan has a beautiful woman by his side, I missed the opportunity. ."
This is really a joke, after all, Lu Qipei is on duty at the Imperial Academy every day, but no one has ever said this to her. But at this moment, it was obviously a joke, but after she heard it, she looked back nervously to look at Qi Yang.
Qi Yang smiled calmly, and the princess obviously didn't worry about her husband being snatched away. What’s more, Lu Qipei’s slowness, even if someone introduces her to her, I’m afraid it’s not she herself that she stayed away, or the girl could not stand the first step and chose to give up — as for blind marriage, dumb marriage is even more impossible. What I was after was a son-in-law with a veiled hat and a chanjuan!
However, when Lu Qipei turned back nervously, everyone laughed. At this time, someone suddenly said: "There were rumors in the Hanlin Academy a few days ago that it was Princess Qiyang’s car that stopped outside the Hanlin Academy for several days. I was waiting for Lu Xiu's writing. I thought that there was going to be a consort in the Hanlin Academy, but now it seems to be nothing more than an error."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei didn't have any reaction, but Qi Yang smiled first. Many people saw her sudden smile, but they didn't understand what she was laughing at?
Of course, the princess didn't mean to confuse everyone, let alone express her identity.
This "inexplicable" smile finally broke the original topic, making everyone realize that it is not appropriate to make such a joke in front of other people's fiancee. So soon someone said haha, changed the subject, and stopped talking about Lu Qipei.
Some people looked at each other and didn't know why the topic fell on personal matters? Also boldly discussed the current princess!
But no matter what these colleagues thought, Lu Qipei, who got rid of the ridicule, breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and smiled apologetically at Qi Yang, and then directed her servants to take out the food she had brought, which was always spread all over the floor.
This lunch was not a pleasant one, because there were many unrelated people nearby. But this lunch was not too difficult to swallow, because the daring colleagues finally got acquainted and did not disturb the two young people.
It was not the first time that Lu Qipei had a meal with Qi Yang, but perhaps because of the change in her mentality and relationship, she became more affectionate during the meal. Although helping to arrange dishes and other things is trivial, she still enjoys doing it, and Qi Yang also accepts all the dishes she picks-this is not a problem, because Lu Qipei has all her favorites. Dishes.
Obviously the food is prepared according to the preferences of two people, why can she find the dishes she likes so accurately? Is it possible that she had secretly followed herself before this?
This is the most reasonable guess, and this guess makes Qi Yang feel so good, even the little unpleasantness he had before disappeared.
The interaction between the young couple is not too much, but anyone with long eyes can see that they get along well and have a good relationship... Liu Chen finally retracted his gaze of inquiry and began to gossiping with the colleagues in front of him.
The gathering of these people in the Imperial Academy is actually quite down to earth. They don't get together to talk about cultivating sentiments such as poems and songs like the outsiders think. On the contrary, everyone has gossip, and they like to get together and talk infinite gossip. For example, the gossip between Lu Qipei and Princess Qi Yang spread like this, and even before the two parties appeared, someone was talking about it.
But now when Lu Qipei meets Master Xiaolu's fiancee, this topic is hard to talk about. Discussing people's right and wrong in person is obviously quite embarrassing and mindless, and seeing how the two are loving, it seems that there is no need to guess. So when the topic changed, it fell on the No. 1 pick who was still on the way to visit relatives, and the Shujishi assessment that would be carried out after a while.
Lu Qipei was not interested in participating in the topic. He took care of Qi Yang's food and drink, and no one bothered them.
After lunch, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang finally got rid of the atmosphere that they only saw each other. The two of them didn't want to leave, and didn't want to participate in the topic, so they held the tea cup together and heard gossip.
At this time, the content of everyone's gossip has long been no longer a champion, the topic ran so fast, and somehow ran out of the country...
Master Tang with a moustache first spoke, and said: "As you know, the court received the Northern Xinjiang War Report a few days ago. It is said that Rong Di has changed again, and he is already at the border."
Master Zhou, who was already full of folds, said secondly: "How many days have passed since this, who doesn't know? And when will Northern Xinjiang be stable? You have to fight every once in a while, what's so strange "I said, lowering my voice and adding: "In the past few years, I finally won a battle, and I haven't been stable for a few years. Isn't it often said that General Ji raised his own weight? How can I not fight?!"
Some people nodded their heads when they listened, and some were noncommittal.
However, someone still said something fair: "In any case, General Ji also worked hard to guard the northern Xinjiang. And this time is different. In the past, it was a small mess. This time, Chen Bing borders, I am afraid that there will be chaos. ."
The topic then turned to war, but for the literati in the Imperial Academy, these were just talks on paper. And no one has been to northern Xinjiang. When it comes to the war in northern Xinjiang, there is always a little illusion, so the topic quickly returned to gossip.
This time they were talking about Rong Di: "I heard that a hero has appeared in the north in the past two years and has integrated a lot of forces. Now it looks like a nation is about to be founded?"
Someone sneered: "Where is the hero? It's just a lucky man. He got a counselor and relied on people to help plan his place in the grassland barbarians." Then he said: "I heard that the country is about to be founded and become king. If you want to make the counselor the prime minister, I don’t know whether the king Khan has the final say on the grassland in the future, or the prime minister has the final say?"
As soon as this remark came out, many people laughed. Perhaps for these erudite scholars in the Imperial Academy, they look down upon the so-called counselor in the northern grasslands. They admit that the grassland is strong and strong, but there is nothing to say about the brain.
He couldn't look at him, and talked about gossip, saying that the counselor was drawn to King Khan and might have rationed his daughter.
After listening to them for a while, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang felt a little boring. In addition, he had stayed here for a long time, and finally stood up and said goodbye to everyone. This time, no one ignorantly continued to interrupt the young man's date, not to mention that the two of them stayed and borrowed a place to eat, and did not participate in the topic, so they sent them off enthusiastically.
This party is really a bit... I don't know what to say? !
Fortunately, the date was not disturbed much, and lunch went smoothly. Lu Qipei and Qi Yang were still in good spirits.
The two went down the river, and the water was full of pink petals drifting with the wave. Lu Qipei tried to fold a peach blossom and give it to Qi Yang, but now the flowers are blooming, and they can still be seen on the branch. When they touch with their hands, the blooming petals fall down, and in the end there are only residual flowers on the branch.
Seeing her discouragement, Qi Yang couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and took a fallen peach blossom from the shoulder of his sweetheart, all as a souvenir of today's outing. Then she leaned slightly, half leaning against Lu Qipei, with her chin resting on the other's shoulders: "Apei was born so handsome, and there are always people who are worried about it outside. How do you think this is a good birth?"
Lu Qipei stood straight, only to feel the breath passing by his ear, and his heartbeat missed a beat. After hearing what Qi Yang said, she was a little bit dumbfounded: "His Royal Highness, that is a joke, how can you take it seriously?!"
Qi Yang looked at her red earlobes and was a little moved, and muttered, "How about I take it seriously?"
The little princess has the right to be willful. Lu Qipei turned his head to look at her, with a little helplessness and pampering in his eyes: "Then what your Highness wants me, can I listen to your Highness?"
Qi Yang didn't say what to do, because she took the opportunity to kiss him. It is a pity that the position is a bit off, and the kiss falls on the corner of his lips.
