"What do you mean by that?" Lu Qingrong didn't believe it.

Jiang Xuan's face showed a hint of hesitation again, and he simply said, "I'm afraid the emperor is unwilling." ”

"If the emperor is unwilling, how can this matter be started?" Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled, "Originally, this year's crown prince's selection of concubines was made more than a year earlier!" ”

"You're only seeing results."

"Huh?"

"If the emperor is really willing, there will be more in advance!" Jiang Xuan still said it.

"Could it be that the emperor will have a time when he has no choice but to do so?" Lu Qingrong seemed to sigh.

"Everyone has a last resort, it's like ......" Jiang Xuan didn't continue, but instead said: "It's actually the same in our house." ”

"Where do you start?" Lu Qingrong couldn't connect this matter with the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion for a while.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heirs are thin, and the Empress Dowager Wu has always advocated recruiting side concubines for him, but the emperor knows it, so he has suppressed this matter for a long time, and this time it is also for the sake of ......" Jiang Xuan suddenly paused, "Otherwise, you think that the family affairs of the second prince have been put on hold for so long, how can you suddenly choose the concubine of the Yanguo Mansion?" ”

Lu Qingrong seemed to understand a little.

It turned out that this was an exchange of interests.

The emperor let go of the selection of concubines for the crown prince, and the queen mother agreed to marry the second prince to marry one of the most famous and noble daughters in the capital.

"Then why do you still say that it is difficult to choose someone who is connected with the Wu family?" Lu Qingrong listened to him, and the emperor had already compromised.

"From the current Holy Lord's pro-government to the present, it seems that he seems to act mildly, like a good talker, but there are few things that he can't really do." Jiang Xuan's tone was very affirmative.

Lu Qingrong didn't want to investigate why he knew so much for the time being, and only thought in his heart that if this was true, then the possibility of Lu Manyu becoming the prince's concubine would really increase a lot.

If the second room can really produce a prince and a side concubine, it will definitely be of some benefit to the Lu family, right?

Lu Qingrong suddenly thought at this moment that Lu Manyu has always had an almost paranoid love for red, if she became the prince's concubine, she would never have anything to do with Zhenghong in the future......

"What do you think?" Jiang Xuan saw that Lu Qingrong lowered his head and was silent, and asked.

"It's a good thing to be the crown prince's concubine, right?" Lu Qingrong's tone could not hide his doubts.

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was secretly a little surprised in his heart.

Shouldn't ordinary women be happy that they have the opportunity to become relatives of the imperial family? For now, there really isn't anything to worry about on the surface. And since Lu Qingrong has this question, he must not be very sure about it.

Jiang Xuan always felt that it was precisely because he saw that Lu Qingrong was still young that he had no scruples about speaking in front of her, and at this moment, he suddenly became a little uncertain about Lu Qingrong's impression.

"Perhaps." Jiang Xuan said vaguely.

Lu Qingrong was thinking about what to ask again, and the maids had already come in and started to set the meal.

The green bamboo walked in the front, the begonias followed, and behind were a few little maids holding all kinds of food in their hands.

Lu Qingrong didn't continue to say anything, just sat quietly at the table and watched them set the meal.

The maids quickly set the meal and retreated under the leadership of Begonia.

But Lu Qingrong's eyes still followed them to the door, and he was a little thoughtful at Haitang's back.

Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong were treated extremely warmly at the banquet in the Lu Mansion at noon, and they ate a lot, and they didn't feel hungry yet.

Jiang Xuan ate a small half bowl of rice on the plate of lotus tofu, and Lu Qingrong only drank a small bowl of shrimp porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

When they were eating just now, the two of them had been quiet, and at this moment Lu Qingrong seemed to be a little hesitant to continue the topic just now.

Somewhat similar to Jiang Xuan's psychology, Lu Qingrong also felt that what she said just now was a bit too much.

Less than ten days after marrying into the Hou Mansion, although Lu Qingrong knew that his sense of identity with Jiang Xuan's wife was still a little lacking, he always comforted himself, the time was still short, and it would be good to get used to it for more time. And it was Lu Qianyu's individual words in the Wisteria Pavilion today that made her soberly realize that she was already a married man.

The relationship between her and Jiang Xuan was not as harmonious as they seemed.

At least that's what Lu Qingrong thinks now.

She often felt Jiang Xuan's eyes looking at her, as if she was looking at a child.

Shouldn't we be so passive anymore, but take a brave step and let him know more about himself?

Xu is because her spirit is still a little excited when she returns to Lu Mansion today, and Xu is words that Jiang Xuan said just now have a hint of opening her heart, and Lu Qingrong suddenly made up his mind.

"Second uncle, are you going to start discussing marriage?" Lu Qingrong asked suddenly.

Unexpectedly, he asked Jiang Ke coldly.

Jiang Xuan was suddenly a little surprised: "Why did you suddenly think of him?" As soon as he said that, he seemed to sense something in his heart.

"Didn't you mean what you just said, 'It's the same in our house'?" Lu Qingrong asked rhetorically, looking back at him with clear and firm eyes.

Jiang Xuan was relieved and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect you to have a delicate mind at a young age." ”

Lu Qingrong was silent.

Jiang Xuan sighed lightly, and then said: "Jiang Ke is not young, he should have started to discuss marriage a long time ago, but with my brother who has not a family in the way, Mrs. Wu is so virtuous, how can she go past me to discuss marriage to him!" ”

"Our wedding date is set in such a hurry, it must have something to do with this, right?" Lu Qingrong asked casually.

"I'm not sure if it matters." Jiang Xuan's tone was light, "It's just that at this moment, Mrs. Wu has indeed begun to discuss the matter of marrying Jiang Ke!" ”

Lu Qingrong was relieved.

As for how Jiang Xuan learned about Mrs. Wu's proposal to Jiang Ke, since he didn't say it, she didn't ask.

"Which lady has you decided?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"I don't know about that. Horizontal and vertical have little to do with us. Jiang Xuan looked at Lu Qingrong, his face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were very strict, "Over the years, the Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion, and the Yu Courtyard is the Yu Courtyard, which is no longer the same thing. ”

Lu Qingrong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and wanted to determine whether his thoughts were correct, but he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or loneliness because he saw a trace of Jiang Xuan's expression.

The Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion, and the Yu Courtyard is the Yu Courtyard.

Throughout the night, Lu Qingrong pondered this sentence in his heart.

The "all these years" in Jiang Xuan's mouth must have been counted from the death of Mrs. Jiang, right?

Is that what his sad look is because of?

Lu Qingrong still remembers the huge funeral scene when they passed by Rong'en Street when they moved more than ten years ago, and the send-off procession like the top of the silver mountain.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was still young, and he was at the forefront of holding Mrs. Jiang's spiritual seat, although he was accompanied by a huge crowd, it gave her a feeling of being alone......

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong's feelings also became a little low, and it lasted until bedtime.

She and Jiang Xuan were still the same as a few days ago, one mile and one away, with faint lights on both sides of the screen.

"How many games did you play today?" Lu Qingrong was the first to break the tranquility, I don't know if it was because Jiang Xuan's somewhat lonely expression before made her always want to ease the atmosphere.

"Four plates." Jiang Xuan's voice came from outside slowly.

"So you won two sets?" Lu Qingrong looked surprised.

"You don't believe it?"

"Sort of." Lu Qingrong continued, "My father's chess skills are somewhat accomplished, and even Mr. Jiang can't often beat him. ”

"Then how about the two of us play against each other another day and let you test it?" Jiang Xuan's voice was relaxed.

"I don't know how to do it......," Lu Qingrong said honestly, "I have never won against my father in my memory." ”

"Huh." Jiang Xuan's undisguised laughter came in.

Lu Qingrong didn't take it seriously: "But think about it, in such a long time, you have only played four games, and it is estimated that you are really an opponent in chess." ”

"Have you stayed in Wisteria Pavilion for so long?" Jiang Xuan was also a little curious.

"Later, I was at my mother's."

Jiang Xuan outside paused for a moment before asking, "Did you mention me?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong couldn't understand why he asked.

"During the lunch banquet, I always felt that your mother's eyes were a little wrong with me, could it be that she had any prejudice against me?" Jiang Xuan said the question in his heart.

Lu Qingrong was speechless for a while.

Doesn't he himself know all the rumors in the market?

It would be really strange if Yin Pingru had no prejudice against him.

Lu Qingrong didn't know how to answer, but fortunately he didn't reply directly, but remembered another thing: "Mother did remind me of one thing, and it has something to do with you......"

Listening to the words coming from inside, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter?" ”

"Before getting married, my mother originally wanted to prepare some wedding maids for me, but I thought that the time was really rushed, and in the end I didn't ......" Lu Qingrong said with difficulty, glad that there was a screen in the middle at this moment, and no one could see her already a little reddened face.

This was said intermittently, but Jiang Xuan heard it clearly.

"And then?" Jiang Xuan's faint voice came in.

"No more." Lu Qingrong's words began, and he found that it was not so difficult to speak, "I am your wife now, and I should take care of the inner house for you, if you need anything...... You can tell me. ”

Before the words fell, Lu Qingrong immediately realized that his words were really a little ambiguous, and hurriedly added: "For example, who is going to take the house......

It's okay if you don't add this, Jiang Xuan listened to her later sentence, and laughed even more: "I have been talking about this for a long time!" ”

"Do you have a good match?" As soon as Lu Qingrong spoke, he felt a little lost in his heart.

As a human being in two lives, she never thought that one day she would say such a thing. RS
