091 Tacit partnership provokes criticism
"Your Highness, are you really not a woman you have a crush on until now? No way...... How do I feel like you're bluffing me? On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Wenqi and Lu Xuan sat in the carriage and chatted about emotional topics.
Yu Wenqi shrugged helplessly, leaned on the car window, and replied: "There's no way, this is not something that this prince can hurry up...... Probably, fate hasn't arrived yet. ”
He is the crown prince and the eldest son of the royal family, according to the rules of the royal family, either make a marriage contract from an early age, or tie his hair or have a marriage partner after the marriage. As the crown prince, Yu Wenqi coincidentally is a few months older than other princes of the same age, so if he is not the first to marry and have children, I am afraid that the status of the future prince will be in jeopardy.
Yu Wenqi knows these truths very well, but unfortunately he has no distractions, I don't know if he has played with Lu Xun since he was a child, so that he is as indifferent as Lu Xun in looking at things, not particularly important, it is about his loved ones, it is estimated that it is difficult to see a trace of waves on their faces.
"Hey, I don't even bother to believe in fate! I feel it, I, Lu Xuan, can only be alone in this life, and be an unrestrained son-in-law~" When she said this, Lu Xuan smiled on the surface as if she was joking, but a little bitterness unconsciously appeared in her heart.
What woman doesn't want a man who loves her wholeheartedly? Lu Xun is her brother, but there will be a day when he marries a wife, and her brother also needs to be happy, and she knows very well that she can't rely on her brother for a lifetime.
"Miss Xuan's words are wrong." The prince turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, with a little bit of broken distress in his words, "Miss Xuan always says that she is too different from other women, and she is not liked by men, but ...... At least in the case of the crown prince...... Of course, Prince Ben didn't say anything to comfort Miss Xuan, it's true, Prince Ben appreciates it very much, and likes Miss Xuan's uniqueness very much! Actually......"
There seemed to be something he wanted to say later, but Yu Wenqi stopped abruptly and quietly swallowed it back into his stomach.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was flattered, no matter whether what Yu Wenqi said was true or not, but this sound true can make people feel good, she chuckled, reached out and patted Yu Wenqi's arm, and said: "Your Highness, thanks to you and my brother, you have a very good relationship with you since childhood, otherwise, I really can't imagine that anyone will be able to say these beautiful words!" Ha ha....... Those little boys who messed around with me all regarded me as a brother, how can I talk about it...... Ha ha. ”
"Anyway, this prince didn't deliberately coax you, what this prince said was heartfelt." Yu Wenqi looked at Lu Xuan's still unconfident appearance, but he was uncomfortable, he used to be close to this girl's brother, but he rarely had contact with this girl, and probably there were more intersections this year, only to find out that this girl was so unconfident.
"Forget it, Miss Ben doesn't care about that." Lu Xuan was duplicitous, looking at the pairs of pedestrians outside the car window, she sighed silently in her heart, and then, she changed her words and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, do you think my brother really likes that woman?" ”
Yuwen Qi understood in seconds that 'that woman' was talking about Yu Qiqi, he lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and replied: "This prince can only say that apart from you, Lu Xun has never been so careful and caring about the second woman before. ”
"Hehe, I think so too." Lu Xuan's tone couldn't hear joy and anger, but there was no longer the previous dissatisfaction and ridicule, "Big brother has always been a god-like existence in my heart, and I always feel that there is nothing that big brother can't solve, so I always feel that no one is worthy of big brother...... I always feel that unless she is a fairy, a woman who exists as immortal as her eldest brother is qualified. ”
"And now? Do you think your brother has chosen the right one? Yu Wenqi asked.
"Now...... Hehe, I don't know, and I don't want to care. Lu Xuan spread her hands, "I can only pray, the woman that my eldest brother chose to accompany her all her life...... If it can be right, it's fine. ”
In the past, she must have been unhappy on her face, she must have kept shaking her head, and she must have been crazy to complain and belittle.
However, she didn't know when she started...... Is it the day of the Ink Flower Garden's annual celebration? Is it the day when you get drunk and others take care of you? Lu Xuan wasn't sure.
"Don't worry, your eldest brother will never look at the wrong person."
——*——
A pot of small wine was quickly exhausted, and Grandpa Mo kept pouring and pouring, not even a drop of it.
It wasn't until the end that he really couldn't pour half a drop of wine, Mo Lao chose to stop the excitement at noon today, he yawned, and his sleepiness slowly came up, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxun, you send Qiqi back!" ”
Finally came to an end, Yu Qiqi let out a long breath in his heart, and instantly felt much more relaxed.
After that, Mo Lao went back to the house for a lunch break, she and Lu Xun cleaned up the table, and carefully closed the door before leaving, so that they could really leave.
"Lu Xun, it was Grandpa Mo who treated me last time, why didn't you mention it to me from beginning to end......" Walking on the road with Lu Xun alone, Yu Qiqi could finally speak freely, "If you mentioned it to me, I would definitely come to the door to thank you, and I would have met the old man I knew." ”
"What, do you want to meet as soon as possible and welcome the old man's persuasion to marry as soon as possible?" Lu Xun teased.
"What! You're ...... Stinky rascals! Yu Qiqi slapped Lu Xun's arm and snorted: "You also know that the old man is old, so he is interested in pulling the red line...... Are you still serious?! ”
"Why not?" Unexpectedly, the sullen man Lu Xun also asked a serious rhetorical question.
Yu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses for a while, so that he shouldn't have asked Lu Xun what he didn't know, and said, "What should it be!" It's so boring to get married early, this girl still wants to play for a few more years! ”
"You play, I didn't stop you." Lu Xun smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I want to play for a few years, or you can take me with you by the way and play together." ”
"Good! Give money! Yu Qiqi stretched out his hand, "This girl doesn't do a loss-making business!" ”
"Then you have to count like this, I'll give you more, can you play with me for a lifetime?" Lu Xun blurted out this sentence almost subconsciously, and he didn't even react.
Suddenly, such explicit words made Yu Qiqi suddenly not know what to reply, she clenched her small fist, simply smashed it on the sullen man, and scolded: "Stinky rascal! You want to take advantage of me! Looking for a fight! ”
Lu Xun closed his mouth, and reacted to the words full of charm just now, and for a while, he was a little incredible.
Yu Qiqi was still staring at him, fortunately, there was no one else around, if there were, she would definitely pinch this stinky man to death!
Lu Xun couldn't bear Xiao Nizi's angry glare, and pressed a big hand on her face, forcing her to divert her gaze, coughing, and said unnaturally: "Who takes advantage of you, obviously you said that you can play with money......"
"You still say!" I didn't feel anything when I said it, but I could spit out the word 'play' from the corner of Lu Xun's mouth, Yu Qiqi was full of discomfort, and the blush was already uncontrollably crawling on his face.
Lu Xun immediately stopped his mouth, turned his head, and didn't look at Xiao Nizi.
In this way, both of them chose to be silent on their faces, but they seemed to be thinking something in their hearts......
——*——
Ten days later, Lu Xun was summoned into the palace by the emperor, and the prince personally picked up the people, and by the way, he found an excuse to bring Lu Xuan into the palace to play.
The prime minister who had just left the court knew about Lu Xun's entry into the palace, but he didn't expect his daughter to follow, and he watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his daughter walking together, which provoked the courtiers who walked beside him to be suspicious.
"Prime Minister, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Xuan has already passed the age of Xuan, right?" A minister made a start.
In a word, Lu Zheng already felt the meaningful gazes of the other ministers, he pretended to be calm and nodded, "Well, it's true." ”
"Then does the prime minister have a marriage for his beloved daughter? After all, Miss Xuan is different, and she has to find a good husband as soon as possible! Another minister who heard that Lu Xuan was handling something in a certain way said euphemistically.
Lu Zheng doesn't like to listen to this kind of talk, but they are all important ministers in the court, if he shouldn't, it will be rude, so he has no choice but to reply perfunctorily: "Not yet, don't worry." ”
"The Prime Minister is not in a hurry, but how do I think Miss Xuan must have an idea?" Another minister came to join in the fun, and when he said this, he specially signaled to Lu Xuan and Yu Wenqi who were not far away to the other ministers.
Sure enough, the effect of these words was great, and in an instant, there were more and more sighs around Lu Zheng.
"The emperor hasn't betrothed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet, so it's hard to ......"
"It seems that Miss Xuan's vision is very high......"
These sighs are both nice and ugly, Lu Zheng doesn't like others to discuss his own affairs, so he coughed and interrupted their gossip, "The emperor summoned Lu Xun into the palace, probably because of the prince's kindness, so he brought my daughter with him." ”
Although, since the last time Yu Wenqi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he treated Lu Xuan's words and deeds a little out of line, but Lu Zheng never had such high expectations on Lu Xuan, so he didn't think much about the relationship between the two.
But today, there are so many ministers around him, they can see it with their eyes, Lu Xuan and Yu Wenqi are not shy about walking together, talking and laughing, it seems that they are very close, how can they not let people think about it.
No way, no matter what is going on right now, he needs to protect his daughter and prevent his woman from being criticized, so he must stand up and deny all suspicions.
"Thank you for your concern, but the little girl is still young and has a lot to learn, so I'm not in a hurry to talk about marriage." Lu Zheng's tone was stiff, not giving the ministers with ghosts in their hearts a chance, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born noble and is the proud son of the emperor, no matter what, we are just courtiers, so it is not appropriate to comment on royal affairs in public, right?" ”
The last sentence was just right, and it blocked the tongues of those ministers very smoothly. And just now, Yu Wenqi took Lu Xuan to the way, and the figure quickly disappeared from the public's field of vision.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, now that his important children were in the palace, how could he not let him be anxious, and after a while, Lu Zheng found an excuse to separate from the ministers who were out of the palace and go elsewhere.
"Poof...... Your Highness, have you just seen my father's face? It's so funny, I guess, he must have been asked by other ministers about something, so he looked bitter, haha! Lu Xuan and Yu Wenqi naturally noticed the prime minister, but the two cooperated tacitly, pretended not to see it, interacted freely, and deliberately caused a topic.
Yu Wenqi chuckled lightly and nodded: "I see, it's really bitter Prime Minister, I probably explained it for a long time." ”
"Of course! How dare my father imagine that there is something between me and you? Besides, you are the prince, if I really climb up, my father may be worried about me! It was also because it was Yu Wenqi that Lu Xuan dared to speak bluntly.
Yuwen Qi knew the meaning of Lu Xuan's words, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that my identity would become a burden to others." ”
