Chapter 535: Lu Zijin's retreat
"I may not only be able to enter the palace......"
Lu Zishan faintly heard such a sentence, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Lu Zijin blankly.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, climbed to Lu Zijin's side, hugged her arm and said in surprise: "Big sister, do you have a way?" You have a way, right? β
Mrs. Yan Guo also moved her eyes, and her body unconsciously leaned forward.
At this time, the voice of the servant girl sounded outside the door: "Old lady, Xu Shaoqing of Dali Temple asks to see!" β
This interruption not only did not make Mrs. Yan Guo feel unhappy, but even after a short period of stunnedness, she was obviously in good spirits: "Please!" β
Lu Zishan also reacted, and suddenly felt that the whole world was bright.
Xu Hang!
β¦β¦
Xu Hang was quickly led in, striding meteor, different from the previous calm.
After a slight pause in the room, his eyes swept over Lu Zijin, and he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, and said loudly: "The younger Xu Hang, I have admired the eldest girl for a long time, and I dare to ask for a courtesy to ask for a good job!" β
After speaking, bow to the ground.
Lu Zishan covered his mouth and cried with joy.
He's come to ask to marry a big sister! He's got the news to save his big sister!
He has been obsessed with his big sister for so many years, and he is even willing to risk offending the emperor to save his big sister!
Lu Zishan's heart was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, and he couldn't tell the complicated taste.
She did have a heart for Xu Hang, even now, she still likes Xu Hang.
But the Xu Hang she likes is the Xu Hang who has no regrets about Lu Zijin, he must be so affectionate that she tosses and misses, and makes her pray for the moon countless times, hoping that he can get what he wants.
Now he came desperately, exactly what she had dreamed of, even though she was only a bystander.
Lu Zishan wiped his tears, burst into laughter, and turned his head to look at Lu Zijin, but he was stunned.
Even Mrs. Yan Guo was touched, but Lu Zijin looked cold.
"Grandmother, wait a minute, let me and Xu Shaoqing say a few words alone." Lu Zijin said.
Mrs. Yan Guo nodded.
Xu Hang got up and followed her out of the hall.
There were no servants left in the courtyard, and it was empty, just the two of them.
Xu Hang couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a premonition of failure.
"Plus this time, you proposed to me a total of three times," Lu Zijin turned his back to him, and his tone was light, "The first time was when you were in high school, you returned to your hometown, and you came to ask for marriage, but I was already married at that time; The second time was my return, you asked for leave to return to your hometown, and came to ask for marriage, but by then I had already left; This time, it is I who will be forced to enter the palace, and you will come to the door again to ask for a marriage despite angering the Son of Heavenβ" With that, she turned back and looked at him with blank eyes.
Xu Hang sighed lightly: "Every time, I am serious. β
Lu Zijin nodded: "I believe it, but I don't need others to redeem me, I don't need it when I return, and I don't need it now-" She paused, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't know if you have noticed that every time you come to the door to ask for marriage, it is at the moment when you think you are condescending, when you are proud, or when you think I am down, because you think it is impossible to succeed in normal times, and you have to take advantage of my danger?" Or is it because I reached out to you when you were down, but I inadvertently hurt your self-esteem, so that over the years, you always wanted to repay me in the same way? β
Xu Hang's face was bloody: "You, what do you think?" β
Lu Zijin nodded unmoved: "Yes, I am not a warm woman, and I am indeed indifferent to people and things." β
"What if I say, 'My heart desires you?'"
Lu Zijin smiled: "If it's to repay the favor, I don't think that marrying me is repaying me; If it's for love, I can only say I'm sorry, I have no mercy for you. β
Xu Hang's gaze darkened little by little, and finally he sighed softly and asked, "Are you willing to enter the palace?" β
Lu Zijin smiled slightly: "Xu Shaoqing's intentions are felt by Zijin, but I will deal with this matter." β
Xu Hang was silent for a long time, and waved his hand: "It was Xu who disturbed ......"
Lu Zijin glanced into the room and said, "I still have important matters to discuss with my grandmother, so I won't send Xu Shaoqingββ"
β¦β¦
Seeing Lu Zijin coming in alone, Mrs. Yan Guo grabbed Yu Ruyi's left hand and tightened it for a while: "Go and call Xu Hang back!" β
Lu Zijin soothed: "Grandmother don't worry, I already have a countermeasure-"
"Countermeasures?" Mrs. Yan Guo slapped her palm on the armrest, and Huo Ran stood up, "The canonization edict has been sent to Menxia Province!" Just when you are busy with the crown princess and the ceremony! β
Lu Zijin smiled faintly and said, "The crown prince's order has been sent to Honglu Temple, just when they thought we were busy with the crown princess and the ceremony!" β
Mrs. Yan Guo was stunned: "Honglu Temple? β
β¦β¦
"Mr. Lu invited himself to be an envoy to escort Princess Kangju back to China, and to restore Kangju orthodoxy, Gu has ordered to transfer Mr. Honglu Shaoqing, take office on the same day, select talents to accompany him, and send Kangju to envoys."
Chi Tang felt that this was too familiar, so he couldn't help but glance at his father, and asked in a low voice, "Where does Mr. plan to go and turn back?" β
Chi Changting's eyelids twitched: "Until Kangju!" β
Chi Tang saw that he didn't speak well, so he went to see His Royal Highness the Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patiently explained: "Mr. Lu is here, shouldering the heavy responsibility of reaching the Western Regions, and he will not be able to come back in the short term." β
Chi Tang was stunned and muttered, "Why is it so sudden?" "No wonder Mr. asked Daddy to borrow the Western Regions dossier, it turned out to be like this......
Chi Changting explained: "The previous incident of Lu Qi was actually a false move of the Taiji Palace, and it was really aimed at Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu's mission to the Western Regions was just to avoid this calculation, and if he returned from his mission, it would be okay to add an official to the knight." β
Chi Tang grasped the point: "It means that Mr. was forced to flee 12,000 miles away?" β
Chi Changting coughed several times.
In this confrontation between the Lu family, it was indeed their defeat, and they were discovered by their daughter after defeating, and their faces were inevitably disgraced.
"Can't say that," Li Yan said, "Open up the trade route of the Western Regions, which is conducive to strengthening the country and enriching the people, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the war in the Guan, the countries of the Western Regions fell into the control of the Turks, we have to send people to the Western Regions sooner or later, and now there is Kang Yuniang to lead the way, it is a good time, that is, Mr. Lu did not recommend himself, and Lone must carefully consider choosing the right person to envoy." β
Chi Tang frowned and said: "There must be a lot of sinister in this go, Mr. is a weak woman, and she is not a suitable candidate, right?" After all, it was forced, how did His Majesty target Mr.? β
The son didn't say anything about the father, Li Yan lowered his eyes and was silent, but Chi Changting briefly explained.
ββ¦β¦ Although the canonization edict has arrived in Menxia Province, the crown prince's order has been sent directly to Honglu Temple, as long as the edict is issued one step first, a harem, a former dynasty, which is more important at a glance, even if the Taiji Palace has objections, it is also our reason! β
Chi Tang's eyes were red with anger, but when he looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he still didn't say anything, and only asked, "What if the Crown Prince Order is one step slower?" Is it too fast for the edict to arrive in the province of Menxia? Didn't anyone stop anyone in Zhongshu Province?
Zhongshu Province, that's the territory of Qi Guogong......
