Tang Yue saw that she accepted the tonic medicine, and finally felt a little more steady.

She really wanted to help Lu Qingrong.

Tang Yue didn't want Lu Qingrong to face such a thing as a concubine for the prince so early, and he was more or less reluctant to let Tang Shan be a concubine.

After that, she emphasized the benefits of this medicine to Lu Qingrong several times, saying that it was a secret in the palace, how it was effective.

Lu Qingrong smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also pretended to listen carefully.

At this time, a maid from outside came in and said, "Miss, Mrs. Jingyuan sent someone to ask Mrs. Shizi, saying that there is still something in their house and they are going back." ”

"It's not early, so I'll go first." Lu Qingrong hurriedly said: "On the day of your wedding, we may still be able to come to see off our relatives!" ”

Tang Yue reluctantly sent Lu Qingrong to the door.

Lu Qingrong followed the maid back to the front hall.

Along the way, Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his embarrassment when he looked at the bag of tonic medicine in his hand, feeling a little hot, and he didn't know where to put it.

Fortunately, before she entered the front hall, she saw Luzhu waiting for her at the door, so she was greatly relieved, and hurriedly handed the package of medicine to Luzhu: "You take this, you don't have to go in, just wait for me here." ”

Lu Qingrong stepped into the front hall alone.

There were no other guests in the house, only the Duchess of Yan Guo and Mrs. Wu, and there was one more person, it was Tang Shan.

At this time, Tang Shan was talking with Mrs. Wu, and the two were talking and laughing, and they were very harmonious.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qingrong thought of what Tang Yue had just said to her, and suddenly felt a little more sure in her heart.

When Marquis Jingyuan had a birthday banquet before, she had puzzled why Mrs. Wu was particularly concerned about Tang Shan, a concubine, because she had such a calculation.

After Lu Qingrong returned to the front hall, he didn't sit down again, thinking about the maid's words just now, thinking that they were about to leave, so he cast an inquiring look at Mrs. Wu.

Who knew that Mrs. Wu didn't see it, and continued to talk and laugh with Tang Shan.

Lu Qingrong looked at Tang Shan with some curiosity.

She already understands Mrs. Wu's intentions, but does this Tang Shan know?

Based on Lu Qingrong's understanding of her in women's studies over the years, Tang Shan is a very pretentious and upright person, and her speech and demeanor on weekdays reveal a sense of arrogance, even if she talks to her husband, she can't hide her lonely self-appreciation.

Looking at her now, in the conversation with Mrs. Wu, you say a word to me, without the slightest reserve, and those who don't know will think that they are friends who have known each other for many years.

If she didn't know, why did she have such a different attitude towards Mrs. Wu?

But if she knew, what made such a pretentious person willing to be a concubine?

Lu Qingrong pondered alone.

Mrs. Wu and Tang Shan happened to be talking about piano art at this moment.

"It turns out that the second lady also likes to play the piano?" Mrs. Wu looked at Lu Qingrong with a smile, "Didn't you invite a master to teach piano skills, why don't you have time to invite the second lady to our house, you also have someone to be your companion." ”

Duchess Yan Guo frowned when she heard this.

Tang Shan looked a little eager to try.

"You're kidding!" Lu Qingrong said unhurriedly: "The women's school of the Yanguo Mansion is taught by Mr. Zhen, where did the second lady make a special trip to our mansion to study!" ”

Lu Qingrong said as he smiled and asked Tang Shan, "What does the second miss think?" ”

"Naturally, I don't dare to go to the Hou Mansion to disturb." Tang Shan could only answer like this.

Lu Qingrong ignored him anymore, turned his head to Mrs. Wu and said, "I heard you say that there is still something in the mansion just now, do you want to go back in a hurry?" ”

Mrs. Wu wanted to say a few more words, but when she heard Lu Qingrong ask this, it was not good to continue.

In fact, there was nothing to do in the first place to rush back, she just didn't want Lu Qingrong and Tang Yue to be too close. Thinking that Tang Yue was going to marry the second prince as a concubine, of course she didn't want Lu Qingrong to have any friendship with the royal people.

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to stand up, and after bidding farewell to the Duchess of Yanguo, she left the Mansion of Yanguo with Lu Qingrong.

"The eldest lady of the Yanguo Mansion, what did you tell you just now?" Sitting in the carriage back to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wu asked casually.

"The palace has already sent the wedding dress, and she just showed it to me." Lu Qingrong said simply.

"That's all?" Mrs. Wu continued to ask.

"Hmm." Of course, Lu Qingrong would not tell her Tang Yue's words, "The princess's wedding dress is really much more complicated, and those accessories have only been half displayed, and the maid has come to urge." ”

Mrs. Wu didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Lu Qingrong and Mrs. Wu went back to their respective courtyards.

The first thing Lu Qingrong did when he returned to the Yu Courtyard was to ask Luzhu to quickly find a place to put away the packet of tonics.

"Madame, what is this?" It's not that Green Bamboo is curious, but he doesn't know what to put together.

"Some supplements." Lu Qingrong explained simply: "You can just find a place to put it, and it is estimated that you won't need it in the future." ”

Lu Zhu nodded yes, took the bag of medicine and turned around and walked out of the inner room.

But as soon as he went out, he bumped into Jiang Xuan, who was about to enter the door.

"Are you feeling unwell?" As soon as Jiang Xuan came in, he asked Lu Qingrong.

"Nope." Lu Qingrong looked dazed, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I just saw Luzhu seem to have taken a packet of medicine out." Jiang Xuan said casually.

Lu Qingrong's face suddenly turned slightly red.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Lu Qingrong hurriedly asked.

"Come back and get some clothes. There are a lot of things going on these days, and I may not be able to come back until after the second prince's wedding. Jiang Xuan explained.

"Do you have to stay in the palace all these days?" Lu Qingrong also knew that the affairs of marriage in ancient times were extremely complicated, especially the royal wedding.

"You have to go to both sides of the palace and the prince's mansion outside the palace." Jiang Xuan explained: "Although the emperor allowed the second prince to get married in the palace, as soon as the wedding night passed, he was about to move out, so there were many things to prepare for in the prince's mansion. ”

Lu Qingrong nodded, and hurriedly called the maid to come in and help Jiang Xuan pack up his clothes.

Before Jiang Xuan left, he suddenly turned around and instructed her: "The weather is getting colder and colder, you also have to pay attention to your body." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the inner room without looking back.

Only Lu Qingrong was left alone to look at his back, and his face turned red again.

was originally a very ordinary word of concern, but I don't know if it was because Jiang Xuan had just seen the package of medicine, which made her always a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xuan did not come back for several days in a row.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the second prince's wedding.

The emperor also granted amnesty to the world for this purpose, which could not help but surprise the ministers of the court and China.

The people were just happy, and there was a joy inside and outside the imperial city that day.

The Yanguo Mansion is even more colorful, so lively.

Lu Qingrong did go to Tang Yue as promised.

But there were many people who came to the Yanguo Mansion to send their relatives, and Lu Qingrong and Tang Yue almost couldn't say a word from beginning to end.

It's just that after Tang Yue was dressed up by the people around her, when she looked around to find Lu Qingrong, she smiled at her across the crowd.

Lu Qingrong looked at her with a smile, and soon watched her walk out of the Yanguo Mansion surrounded by everyone.

Lu Qingrong didn't go out with him, but looked at the red figure that was fading away in the banquet of the Yanguo Mansion, listening to the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers around him, and silently blessed Tang Yue in his heart.

Marrying into the royal family, after all, is more difficult.

She hopes that Tang Yue can have her own happiness, and she also hopes that their friendship will not be affected because of this.

When she returned to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, she finally saw Jiang Xuan, who had not returned for many days.

"I heard that you went to greet the second prince today, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Lu Qingrong knew that according to the rules of Daqi, the prince's wedding would not be greeted in person, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xuan would do this errand.

"This was also decided two days ago." Jiang Xuan explained, and suddenly laughed again, "What can I do if I tell you in advance?" ”

Lu Qingrong didn't answer, but thought in her heart that if she knew in advance, she would definitely go out to watch with the person who sent her relatives today.

Jiang Xuan still smiled happily: "I didn't see me, I regret it, right?" ”

was told through his heart, and Lu Qingrong couldn't admit it.

"I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow." Lu Qingrong changed the subject.

"Originally, I was going to wait until tomorrow, but the matter was done in advance, so I came back first." Jiang Xuan paused slightly, and suddenly said again: "And I got a message today, I want to come back and sue you quickly." ”

"What's the news?" Lu Qingrong was inevitably curious.

"The candidate for the crown prince's concubine has been decided. Your third sister and Xu Ying were both selected. Jiang Xuan said slowly.

"Really?" Lu Qingrong was very surprised.

"Really." Jiang Xuan affirmed: "Although the holy decree has not yet come down, it is already being drafted. ”

"It's just the two of them, isn't the county lord of Kangning not selected?" Lu Qingrong then asked.

"Nope. In fact, it is already very rare for Xu Ying to be elected, and it is reasonable that the county lord of Kangning will not be elected. ”

Lu Qingrong understood what he meant.

The crown prince's concubine is already the daughter of the Wu family, and the emperor doesn't want the prince's side concubine to be from the Wu family. Although Xu Ying has more or less something to do with the Wu family, she is not too close after all. The county lord of Kangning is different, she is the grandson of the Empress Dowager Wu.

"When will the decree come?" Lu Qingrong always felt that only with the Holy Decree could he be sure.

"I can't say for sure." Jiang Xuan smiled, "But it should be the matter of these two days!" ”

"Then let's wait for the holy decree to be issued, and then go to say goodbye." Lu Qingrong thought about the expression of the second aunt Geng when she learned the good news, and wondered if she would be too excited and faint......

The decree came sooner than expected.

Early the next morning, just as the second prince and his wife began to move out of the palace, the holy decree chosen by the crown prince and concubine spread throughout the capital.

When the Lu Mansion received the order, the whole house naturally celebrated, especially the Lady of the Ether and the Geng family.

But at the same time, there was another person who was also very happy, it was Mrs. Wu who learned that the county lord of Kangning was defeated in Qinyi Academy. RS
