Just as Empress Dowager Wu and her entourage were about to walk to the banquet, Qiu Jinting, who had been walking in front of Lu Qingrong, suddenly slowed down.

"Do you really think Lord Lu is your father?" Qiu Jinting turned his head and asked softly.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

When they just returned to the capital from Huguang, Qiu Jinting obviously didn't know the inside story, why did it take more than two years to suddenly mention it...... Lu Qingrong couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Qiu Jinting thought that she was stupid by herself.

"Or else?" Lu Qingrong came back to his senses and asked indifferently.

"Aren't you curious about your origins?" Qiu Jinting was a little surprised by her composure.

"Not curious."

Lu Qingrong looked directly into Qiu Jinting's eyes sharply, and slowly opened his mouth, "I only have one father. ”

Word by word, unusually firm.

"I don't know where you heard something." Lu Qingrong continued: "But what I know will definitely not be less than you imagined. So you don't have to go on, whatever you have to say, I'm going to answer that. ”

Lu Qingrong has always spoken tactfully, and what she said at this moment was also because of her understanding of Qiu Jinting, especially the unpleasantness she encountered when she went to the women's school for the last time, which made her feel that she no longer needed to care about those so-called faces.

After finishing the words in one breath, Lu Qingrong didn't seem to see Qiu Jinting's stunned expression, he directly passed her, and took two steps to follow the Empress Dowager Wu and her party.

And Qiu Jinting, who was left behind by her, was still standing in a daze.

In fact, regarding Lu Qingrong's life experience, He Qingwan had secretly sued her not long ago, and at that time, in addition to being more disdainful of her identity in her heart, she did not pay too much attention. After all, unlike He Qingwan, she did not have any entanglement with Lu Qingrong.

Even if Lu Qingrong married into the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and became the wife of the prince, Qiu Jinting never looked up to her. Because Jiang Xuan has always had a loving attitude towards her since she was a child, she has no good impression of Jiang Xuan.

But this qiē feeling, on the way to the palace with Princess Chengyang just now, when he saw Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan walking side by side, there was an earth-shaking change in an instant.

At that time, she was sitting in a sedan chair, and when she was about to arrive at the imperial garden, she saw two figures in the distance, one tall and one short, the male figure was tall and vigorous, and the female lotus step moved lightly and walked in style. And because Lu Qingrong has short calves, Jiang Xuan seems to be deliberately slowing down and accommodating her. This situation was completely different from the self-righteous and maverick Jiang Xuan in her impression.

When their sedan chair surpassed the two, she still couldn't help but look back, this time she happened to see Lu Qingrong glaring at Jiang Xuan with round eyes, and Jiang Xuan next to her obviously saw it, but he didn't think it was wrong, and even showed a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this picture, Qiu Jinting couldn't help but see it in his heart, angrily threw down the sedan curtain, and no longer looked out.

After that, her heart has been very uncomfortable, and that picture always flashes back in her mind.

Thinking of Princess Chengyang in recent days, for the sake of her family, the children of the family who looked at each other were either frivolous and rude, or old-fashioned, compared with the Jiang Xuan I saw just now, it was completely incomparable!

Qiu Jinting's feelings for Lu Qingrong in his heart changed unconsciously.

Why can she marry such a personable Jiang Xuan, but she has to talk about marriage with those who can't support the wall......

Qiu Jinting was sulking in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect the flower-viewing banquet, and hurriedly walked towards the banquet.

And Lu Qingrong's side, originally thought that he had avoided Qiu Jinting, but when he entered the table, he found that he was still arranged at the same table.

At this time, several people were already sitting around the round table, it was really Tang Yue, Cui Shiyun, and Xu Ying who had just met.

Lu Qingrong sat next to Tang Yue and Cui Shiyun under the slightly worried gaze and Xu Ying's obviously somewhat resentful eyes, and soon Qiu Jinting also came to sit.

I didn't expect the seats to be arranged like this, as if it was a special seat for girls in the Yanguo Mansion.

Lu Qingrong thought that even if he was young, after all, he was already married and belonged to the scope of married women, so he would definitely have to sit at the same table with those ladies and wives, but he didn't expect to be arranged with these young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet.

That's fine, at least the age is close, and it won't be so cramped. It's just that it would be better if Qiu Jinting wasn't there......

At this moment, Xu Ying suddenly asked, "Why did the Queen Mother summon you?" ”

Not only Xu Ying, when Lu Qingrong entered the table just now, he had already found that many people around her had cast curious glances at her. It is not easy to follow the Empress Dowager Wu and her party from the main hall in full view of everyone, and it is not easy not to be noticed.

"The Queen Mother gave something and said it was a congratulatory gift for getting married." Lu Qingrong said it simply and clearly.

"Nothing else? Just for this? Xu Ying was a little unconvinced.

"That's all there is to it." Lu Qingrong is telling the truth, this is indeed the whole content of the Queen Mother's summons to her.

Xu Ying paused, and was about to say something more, but Tang Yue grabbed ahead: "I guess it's also for this!" At the beginning, my mother mentioned that the family affairs of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion were done too quickly, and she almost didn't have time to prepare a proper congratulatory gift. I think it's the Queen Mother, and so is her old man. ”

This is obviously to relieve himself, Lu Qingrong smiled at Tang Yue, and everyone understood.

"What new lessons have you been teaching lately? Has Mr. Jia's daughters finished preaching? Lu Qingrong thought of a new topic.

Cui Shiyun laughed when she heard this: "Naturally, I haven't finished speaking!" When the girl passed on to Mr. Jia, it became an endless story, which contains an inexhaustible philosophy of life, and I am afraid that it will never be finished! ”

Hearing Cui Shiyun's words, not only Lu Qingrong, but also the other three, including Qiu Jinting, also covered their mouths and laughed.

Lu Qingrong suddenly thought of Mr. Zhen again, and asked Tang Yue, "Does Mr. Zhen teach everyone to play new tunes?" ”

Tang Yue didn't answer immediately, he actually looked a little cramped, his cheeks were slightly red, and he hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I don't know either...... I don't go to school these days. ”

Lu Qingrong was very surprised when he heard this, in the two years that he went to the women's school, he still didn't remember any time when Tang Yue was absent from class, not to mention that the Moxiang Courtyard where the school was located was in the Yanguo Mansion, Tang Yue didn't even have to go out of the house, why didn't he go suddenly?

Looking at the other three people, they were not surprised at all, they all had a look of understanding on their faces, could it be that something happened that they didn't know?

At this moment, Xu Ying's sour words helped her solve her confusion.

"People are about to become imperial concubines, and they still care about those ordinary homework! So you don't know yet? Surely you haven't congratulated her yet, have you? ”

Imperial Princess?

Lu Qingrong was very shocked, and his first reaction was that Tang Yue was going to enter the palace to marry the emperor, and couldn't help but look at the male seat that couldn't be seen clearly in the distance, and the main seat over there should be the emperor, right? Although he can't see people at all, now that the emperor's eldest grandson is several years old, I'm afraid that the emperor's age is not too young......

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and she could even feel that the eyes she looked at Tang Yue must have been filled with worry that she couldn't hide.

This is ...... for Tang Yue Not to be congratulated.

Cui Shiyun on the side saw Lu Qingrong's face instantly full of sadness, and knew that she must be crooked.

"The emperor is in charge, and he pointed out Sister Yue to the second prince as a concubine!" Cui Shiyun explained.

So that's it!

This time, Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't hide it.

"Then congratulations to Sister Yue!" Lu Qingrong was moved.

Thinking of the second prince she saw just now, elegant and handsome, gentle as jade, she was really happy for Tang Yue.

The second prince is slightly older than Jiang Xuan, and the emperor has been unable to make up his mind for his family affairs, and this time he finally has a conclusion. Although the mother family of the second prince is weak, but after all, he is the prince, and this marriage with the Yanguo Mansion can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance, but I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Wu, who has always put her whole heart on the prince, can actually agree.

But either way, it's a good thing.

"When did this happen?" Lu Qingrong didn't know anything before.

"It will only take four or five days for the decree to really come down." Tang Yue whispered, the flush on his face still not subsided.

It turned out to be something after I got married.

"Is the wedding date set?" Lu Qingrong then asked.

"It's set for this fall."

The prince's wedding, it will naturally take a lot of effort to prepare, if it weren't for the fact that the second prince is already not young, I'm afraid it will be possible until next year.

Lu Qingrong chatted attentively here, but he didn't pay too much attention to the whole flower viewing banquet.

Although Xu Ying and Lu Qingrong didn't talk speculatively, they didn't talk to each other, but Qiu Jinting began to put up a shelf again, not paying much attention to people, but his eyes glanced at the main table from time to time.

Their table was originally not very close to the Empress Dowager Wu's main table, so naturally they didn't need to talk to the Empress Dowager. Moreover, the traditional dance programs at the banquet really did not attract their attention, so the flower-viewing banquet was spent in the sound of their chatting from beginning to end.

At three o'clock, the flower-viewing banquet was discontinued.

Lu Qingrong met Jiang Xuan at the gate of the Imperial Garden and walked out of the palace together.

As soon as he got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask: "Do you know about the second prince being assigned to marry?" ”

"Well, I know, and the eldest lady of the Yanguo Mansion." Jiang Xuan replied lightly.

"So you know......" Lu Qingrong was suddenly a little lost, "No one has ever sued me." ”

Jiang Xuan laughed when he heard this: "Are you very familiar with the eldest lady of the Yanguo Mansion?" ”

Lu Qingrong nodded: "Our women's school is the Moxiang Courtyard located in the Yanguo Mansion, which can often be seen, and I can talk to Sister Yue very well." ”

After speaking, Lu Qingrong was a little speechless and stopped.

Jiang Xuan naturally found out: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”RS
