Chapter 409: Unwilling
"To be a queen?" Lu Lanzhi frowned at Lu Xuan and asked, "Brother Wang, you're not mistaken, right?" β
LΓΌ Xuan also returned to Wudu on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
When Empress Dowager Xia left, the ban was lifted.
Residents from the surrounding area have also returned to their hometowns from the city.
As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest, no matter how good the city is, it is also a guest.
Back at home is the master.
The surrounding villagers returned to the village and dressed up their homes after a few months of absence.
The people of the city are also dressed up to welcome the New Year.
Wu Guo has the money, grain and cloth brought over by the wine fairy, and with the assistance of Liang Guo, even if the winter crops are not cultivated, everyone has surplus food and does not panic. Anyway, there is food and seeds, and it is not a problem to cultivate a year later.
Lu Xuan only brought back 10,000 personal soldiers, and the remaining 90,000 horses were still stationed in the south of Yingtian City under the leadership of the deputy general. Because the troops of Qi and Liang, as well as Chu and Lu, did not withdraw, and Lu Xuan did not withdraw.
After Lu Xuan came back, he took everyone to pay tribute to the clothes and mounds of King Xianwu and several elder brothers, and then returned to the palace to guard the New Year.
When I received a letter from the Empress Dowager Xia.
Lu Xuan was holding a banquet in the palace, chatting with Lu Lanzhi, the concubines of King Xianwu, and Hua Taifu's family.
After reading the letter, Lu Xuan invited Lu Lanzhi to the side of the hall.
Seeing that his sister didn't believe it, Lu Xuan showed Lu Lanzhi the letter from the Empress Dowager Xia.
In the letter, the Empress Dowager Xia said that during the days of getting along, she admired Lu Lanzhi very much, the new monarch was newly established, and the harem was vacant. If Lu Lanzhi is willing, she will be the queen of Great Xia, and Lu Xuan will also become the uncle of Great Xia, and then the official position will be the same as that of the national teacher Lu Ziying.
"I don't want to!" Lu Lanzhi shook her head after reading the letter, "Brother Wang, you can reply to your mother and say that our father is newly mourned, and I will mourn for three years, and I will not marry within three years." β
"And what about three years from now?" Lu Xuan looked at Lu Lanzhi and asked.
"Does Brother Wang want the position of Uncle Guo?" Lu Lanzhi glanced back, "If Brother Wang forces his sister as the king's order and brother, my sister will not dare to disobey." β
"No......." Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "Isn't that a good thing?" The eldest princess Jin Ling, you have seen it, the emperor and her are twins, and the appearance will definitely not be bad........"
"It's not about looks!" Lu Lanzhi was a little anxious, "I have someone in my heart." β
"Someone? Who? Lu Xuan's eyes widened, "My good sister, why don't you tell Brother Wang about such a big thing?" β
"Naturally, it's hard to say!" Lu Lanzhi frowned, "I said it all, I will mourn for my father and several brothers for three years." I don't think about personal matters for three years. β
"Who the hell is it?" Lu Xuan asked, "Why don't you tell Brother Wang, so that Brother Wang can be prepared." β
Lu Lanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xuan and asked coldly, "I told you, can you refuse Niangniang?" β
"Tell me who it is first!" Lu Xuan looked at Lu Lanzhi expectantly, "You have to let Brother Wang have a score in his heart." β
Lu Lanzhi did not return.
"If you don't say it, I'll guess, if you guess it, you can just nod your head." Lu Xuan hurriedly said, "Isn't it Guangyu?" You have been together for a while, if it is him, Brother Wang will go and talk to Niangniang. I'm just a sister like you, and your happiness is the most important thing. β
Lu Lanzhi frowned and shook his head.
"Su Changyun?" Lu Xuan smiled again, "He, like Guangyu, Brother Wang agrees." β
"It's not!" Lu Lanzhi said impatiently, "Don't guess, I won't say it." β
Lu Xuan's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold, and he grabbed Lu Lanzhi's shoulder: "Don't tell me it's him?" Lu Xuan's eyes were full of determination, "Sister, you know that this can't be!" β
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Lu Lanzhi shook off Lu Xuan's hand, "Anyway, that's what I said, I want to mourn for my father, if you fancy that position, you will force you to use the king's order, I won't disobey." β
Lu Lanzhi dropped this sentence and ran out.
Lu Xuan stood still, thinking for a long time before sending someone to invite Mrs. Hua over.
Lu Xuan has been here for a short time, and he hasn't had time to talk to Mrs. Hua about the two holy decrees.
When Mrs. Hua came in, Lu Xuan showed Mrs. Hua the letter he had just received.
Mrs. Hua also watched Lu Xuan bring Lu Lanzhi to the palace together, and then watched Lu Lanzhi run out of the hall with a bad face, and instantly understood Lu Xuan's intention to come to him.
"Don't worry, the old minister on the county lord's side will persuade you! Girls, thin-skinned, it's normal to be reluctant for a while. Such a good thing, the county lord will not refuse to agree. β
"Taifu also thinks this is a good thing?"
"yes!" Mrs. Hua hurriedly said, "That's the queen!" That's not something that ordinary people can do. It is also the good luck of the county lord that he has been living in Xiyuan with the Queen Mother and the eldest princess these days. The county lord shows off his wisdom, and his behavior is hundreds of times stronger than that of girls of the same age. The emperor has just ascended the throne, doesn't he need such a talented and good-looking person to take care of the harem. β
"Taifu!" Lu Xuan sighed before saying, "There are still two holy decrees here, you can read them first." β
After Hua Taifu read the holy decree, Lu Xuan told King Lu about his secret visit again.
Mrs. Hua was silent for a long time before saying, "This matter is a bit complicated. β
"Actually, it's not complicated!" Lu Xuan continued, "The Empress Dowager started from the crown princess, all the way to the queen, the queen mother, and then to the current queen mother. It is understandable that she uses some means to stabilize the overall situation. It's just that we don't know what this new gentleman is like. If the Empress Dowager has been alive and well, then it's okay. But what about later? β
"I'll see you soon!" Mrs. Hua said, "Actually, Niangniang wants the county lord to be the queen, most of them are because she takes a fancy to the king's talent and wants the king to come up to assist the new king." In this way, the county lord takes care of the harem, and the king helps His Majesty take care of the previous dynasty, what a lot of trust is this. β
"Actually, she doesn't have to be like this, as long as Xinjun has the world in mind, Lu Xuan is also willing to assist!"
Mrs. Hua smiled: "What the king said makes sense, but wouldn't it be better to kiss and kiss." According to the old minister's view, he replied to the mother and promised the county lord. β
"But......" Lu Xuan thought twice before he said, "But listening to King Lu's meaning, he has already found Qi Huan and King Liang." What if Qi Huan wants to embrace Jin Ling? β
Hua Taifu took a deep breath, "The old minister asked Ying to go to Qi Country and ask them in person." β
Lu Xuan shook his head, "Your going at this time will attract a lot of attention." β
"Then the old minister will go quietly! King Lu can quietly run the Three Kingdoms, and it is still possible for the old minister to go to Linzi. β
"Good!" Lu Xuan nodded, hesitated for a while, and he didn't tell Mrs. Liu about someone in Lu Lanzhi's heart. Because Lu Xuan felt that this matter could not be said, and if there was, it could only be regarded as nothing. He needs to talk to Lu Lanzhi about this matter.
