Chapter 233: Intent

The next day.

Lu Province.

The congratulatory gift had been prepared a long time ago, and Lupin was relieved and looked at it carefully.

He had already secretly surrendered to King Yan. However, there are many capable and ambitious officials under the command of King Yan, and he is not ranked among them, let alone King Yan's henchmen.

Therefore, Lupin refused to let go of any opportunity that could come close to currying favor with King Yan.

King Yan got married, and Lu Ping carefully prepared a congratulatory gift.

The small flower pot carved from the best Hetian jade is lifelike and exquisite. In the pot is a pomegranate tree. The pomegranate tree is less than a foot, the trunk and branches are made of pure gold, and the leaves are polished with precious stones of various colors. It is covered with a few small pomegranates, carved from large rubies.

Pomegranate has many seeds, which means many children and many blessings. It is perfect for wedding gifts. This pot of pomegranate trees seems ordinary, but in fact, the materials are very exquisite, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is even more wonderful. Even the fine lines on the leaves are carved vividly.

Lupin looked at it for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction and put the lid back on the box.

"Master Qiqi, the two cousins are here." The steward respectfully came to report.

Lupin snorted.

When the two Lu Hong brothers appeared in front of him, Lu Ping couldn't help frowning: "I ordered someone to send you a few new clothes a few days ago, which are the best clothes and the most popular style in the capital." Why don't you wear it? ”

"Didn't I tell you? Today is the big day of King Yan's wedding, and I don't know how many officials in the capital went to give gifts and congratulations. It's rare to have such a good opportunity to show up, so you must be cautious. ”

Lu Hong glanced down at himself. I don't think there's anything wrong with it: "I'm wearing new clothes, and I've only worn them once in the last few days. ”

The texture is high and the color is elegant. It suits him perfectly.

Besides, King Yan got married, and he just followed his second uncle to see the world. Why bother wearing those slightly fancy new clothes? If he wants to get ahead, he relies on his own talents, not on a face.

Seeing Lu Hong's mouth, Lu Ping became more and more unhappy in his heart, and glared at Lu Hong: "Okay." Hurry up and go back and do it again. Time is running out, don't delay! ”

Lu Hong frowned, wanting to say something. Finally, he swallowed it back, and silently turned around to change into new clothes.

Lu Qianqian looked at it coldly, and sneered in his heart.

In his previous life, Lu Hong was worried about his wife and son, and he didn't want to be involved with Princess Changping at first. It's all this good second uncle. Secretly used some shady means. forced Lu Hong to "comply".

Now it seems that this scene will soon play out before his eyes.

Remind Lu Hong?

Of course not. He wished that Lu Hong would throw himself into the arms of Princess Changping as soon as possible, and completely erase Lu Hong's figure in Ling Jingshu's heart.

The clothes that Lupin had sent were all brightly colored. Lu Hong didn't like it in his heart, so he reluctantly picked out an apricot-colored brocade robe and put it on.

This time, Lupin was finally satisfied.

Lu Hong, who was born handsome, wore this new dress, and his face became more and more white and handsome. No matter where you stand, you will be the center of attention.

Princess Changping, who likes beauty, will definitely see Hunting.

……

King Yan's wedding. The emperors and queens in the palace each sent people, and the rewards were continuously carried into the Yan Palace.

The wedding was personally arranged by the Ministry of Rites. King Yan himself doesn't need to worry about it, and he doesn't even have to go to greet his relatives in person. As long as you put on a brand-new wedding robe, sit peacefully in the main hall of Yanwang's Mansion, and accept everyone's congratulations.

The emperor is getting older and older, obsessed with Dandao, and the time to go to the court is getting less and less, and the government is becoming less and less concerned. Most of the trivial affairs in the court were taken care of by the prince of the East Palace.

Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been recuperating for a long time, and it is not suitable to work hard. Therefore, these affairs eventually fell on the head of the imperial grandson.

The power of Queen Xu, Queen Yan, and her son inside and outside the court should not be underestimated.

Empress Xu covered the sky with one hand in the harem, and her eyeliner was all over the palace, and her influence on the emperor was also great. After King Yan took over the household department in the court, his power was far greater than before, and he secretly co-opted his henchmen. The marriage of the Heping Kingdom Mansion meant that King Yan's power began to spread to the army.

The rivalry between the East Palace and the mother and son of King Yan has gradually emerged.

Naturally, the officials of the DPRK and China were divided into three factions. One faction regards itself as the crown prince who maintains orthodoxy, while the other faction openly and secretly surrenders to King Yan. More often than not, it is officials who remain neutral.

For these officials, neither the prince's faction nor the Yanwang party can be convicted, they can't curry favor with both sides, and they can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. In short, the struggle for the throne of the prince is the business of the descendants of the royal family, and whoever is the final victor will support whomever they want.

The ambitious Lupin is not willing to be mediocre and wants to learn from the dragon's work. has already secretly taken refuge in King Yan. There are not a few officials like him. Today, I basically came to the door in person to congratulate him.

When everyone met, they showed a tacit smile, and took turns to send congratulatory gifts and congratulate King Yan.

When it was Lupin's turn, Lupin first sent a well-prepared congratulatory gift, and then poured out a congratulatory message.

The pot of pomegranates is quite delicately made. King Yan glanced at it casually, and then said with a smile: "Lord Lu has a heart." This pot of pomegranates, this king likes it very much. ”

In just a few words, Lu Pingxi smiled, and he arched his hand again and again: "Weichen is just talking about his heart." To win the favor of His Royal Highness, it is not in vain that the ministers have worked hard......"

Don't look at King Yan's misbehaving words and deeds on weekdays, he looks improper, and he is quite affinity to win people's hearts.

After Lupin gave the gift, he was left in the main hall.

The two brothers, Lu Hong and Lu Qian, were led by the steward to another spacious hall.

Most of the people staying here are young men. Like the two of them, they were also brought to "see the world" by the elders of the family. There are also a few familiar faces among them, who are actually classmates in the Guozi Prison.

Lu Hong immediately led Lu Qian forward and chatted with everyone.

I don't know who said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is here!" ”

Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around and saluted.

A gust of fragrant wind hit, and the woman who appeared at the door was glamorous and charming, and it was Princess Changping who had a two-sided relationship with him.

Lu Hong saluted with everyone, but he frowned secretly in his heart.

It's all young men. Princess Changping came without any suspicion...... It can be seen that those rumors are not all chasing after the wind.

Lu Hong didn't know that most of the young men present were ready to move after meeting Princess Changping.

Not to mention the noble identity of Princess Changping, it is also a beautiful thing to boast about her beauty and enchantment, and to have a dewy marriage that is not responsible.

Princess Changping laughed coquettishly: "You don't have to be polite, let's all be even!" ”

His eyes fell on Lu Hong's body from afar, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
