093 A pawn that can't be resisted
There should be no noise outside the Qinzheng Palace, so Yuwen Qi took a few people and Yuwen Chaoyi out of the palace together, Lu Zheng was in a good mood, and took the initiative to invite everyone to Zuixianlou for dinner.
To say that it has been a month since the last time Yuwen Chaoyi went out of the palace, according to the rules of the palace, the unmarried princess wants to go out of the palace to play, and there is only one chance a month, and she must go to the emperor or the queen to ask for a token.
She threw herself on the car window, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians and shops on the road, as well as all kinds of strange and interesting things, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This princess likes the capital so much!" This princess will settle in the capital in the future! ”
Lu Xuan and Yuwen Chaoyi sat alone on a carriage, looking at the innocent faces of the five princesses, she seemed to remember that she was like this before, but she was used to it, and now she is no longer so exaggerated.
"Princess, I actually think the palace is quite interesting! Listening to His Royal Highness the Prince, the pond has lotus ponds, carp ponds, luan kite ponds, and ink lotus ponds...... The lakes include Xueyue Lake, Yingliu Lake, and Yunying Lake...... There are Liuyingtai, Qi stage or something, as well as Xinruo Pavilion, Ran Tongting and so ......on, "On the contrary, Lu Xuan, who has played all over the capital, went to the palace for the first time, and listened to Yu Wenqi talk about what is interesting and beautiful places in the palace, her mind is full of yearning for the palace, play is Lu Xuan's pursuit, she wants to play all the fun places in the world, fun and interesting things.
However, Yuwen Chaoyi listened to what Lu Xuan said, but waved her hand disapprovingly, and sighed slightly: "This princess has lived in the palace for sixteen years, and she can go where she wants to go with her eyes closed!" Ay...... In fact, it's that big, but if you're not familiar with the palace, people as curious as Miss Xuan will feel that there is a special taste in the palace! If you want this princess to say, the world outside the palace is big! If you can let this princess choose, this princess will not be born in the palace! ”
One is a princess who is locked up in the palace, and the other is a young lady who is outside from Xiao Lang, and it just so happens that both of them are extremely envious of where each other lives.
Lu Xuan was curious about the palace, Yuwen Chaoyi told her interesting things about the palace from beginning to end, that Yuwen Chaoyi was interested in the outside world, and Lu Xuan told her the places he had played since he was a child, and the new things he encountered.
The two little girls in the carriage here were chatting happily, but the three men sitting in the carriage on the other side didn't seem to be as lively as here.
"Your Highness, the fifth princess seems to be very interested in the capital? Didn't you come very often in the past? The two carriages were very close, and the sound of the girls' laughter came, which aroused the excitement in the prime minister's heart.
Yu Wenqi didn't notice what the prime minister said, so he naturally replied: "The prime minister also knows that among the younger sisters of this prince, only Chaoyi is the most stubborn by nature, hehe...... It's much the same as Miss Xuan, but there are many rules in the palace, and the discipline of the father is relatively strict, so Chaoyi's playfulness has been suppressed, and he only dares to let go after leaving the palace. Hehe...... Let the prime minister smile! ”
"Eh, how can you laugh! The fifth princess is called innocent and romantic, how good! Lu Zheng said with a smile, a pair of old fox's eyes suddenly flashed a little different, and after a moment, the words quietly changed: "Your Highness, these five princesses are also sixteen this year, it stands to reason that it is time to get married, right?" On the surface, these words are indifferent, like random questions, but in fact, there is a deep temptation in the words.
Hearing this, Lu Xun drank tea for a moment, closed his eyes, and then put down the teacup, turned his eyes out of the car window, and didn't want to participate in his father's hypocrisy.
probably understood Lu Xun's personality, so Yu Wenqi didn't think of going anywhere else at all, and still told the truth: "Not yet, the father and queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the concubine, and other concubines have all recommended candidates for the horse to Chaoyi, but Chaoyi has a stubborn temper, and he has to choose a husband to marry by himself, so he really hasn't made his father angry." ”
"Hehe, the fifth princess is really different!" Sure that the information he had was correct, Lu Zheng was relieved, stroked his beard, glanced at Lu Xun who had no intention of interjecting, and said: "Your Highness, you and Lu Xun have played since childhood, and they are as good as brothers...... And Xuan'er, hey! The old man is really anxious about the family affairs of his two siblings! ”
Lu Xun, who was leaning against the car window, couldn't help pinching his eyebrows with a headache when he heard this, and sighed helplessly.
And Yu Wenqi noticed Lu Xun's melancholy appearance, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lu Xun didn't want the prime minister to know about Yu Qiqi's existence, so he would behave like this, "Prime minister, don't worry!" You see, this prince has not made progress! Fate is in a hurry, it's in a hurry! Yu Wenqi patted the prime minister and smiled comfortingly.
"Hehe, yes...... Be. Lu Zheng found that Yu Wenqi had not understood his metaphor, and he felt bad for a while to continue, so he turned his head to look at Lu Xun and called, "Xun'er, why have you been lying on the car window?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and he must not be rude. ”
"Eh, it's okay......" Yuwen Qike has never minded the number of courtesies to Lu Xun.
"I didn't sleep well last night, I don't have energy." Lu Xun didn't want to respond directly, and he didn't intend to cater to his father at all.
He knew that he was valued by his father as soon as he was born, but when he grew up and understood more and more human feelings, he gradually realized that he was just a pawn of his father to satisfy his father's competitive desire on the chessboard.
He has entered the palace and completed the first step under his father, and the second step is marriage, it seems that his father is bound to win, and in the end, he has to help him take this step.
Lu Xun respects his father, it is out of nurturing grace and family affection, but it is impossible for him to be obedient and at the mercy of him like a puppet.
At least on such a major event as getting married, Lu Xun will definitely not be led by the nose.
Lu Zheng didn't expect Lu Xun to respond to him so indifferently, his face was a little unbearable for a while, he looked at Yu Wenqi embarrassedly, and then coughed, with dissatisfaction in his tone, and said: "Xun'er, you are in such a state, how will you treat guests at the dinner table?" Hurry up, cheer up, the drunken fairy building is almost here! ”
"Father, if the child wants to go back to the house to rest, the prince and the princess will entertain you and your sister." As a result, the upright Lu Xun was reluctant to even participate in the dinner.
It was a pleasant atmosphere, but it was instantly broken by Lu Xun's two words, Yu Wenqi realized that something was wrong with the situation, and then looked at the prime minister's increasingly darkened face, he hurriedly smiled and relieved the siege: "Oh, what a big deal!" It's not the first time that this prince has been to the capital, and it used to be troublesome for Lu Xun to take this prince! Anyway, today's main thing is to make Chaoyi happy, and it's good to have Miss Xuan with her! If Lu Xun is unwell, then go back to the house to rest, they are all acquaintances, and this prince is fine! ”
"No way!" In the next second, Lu Zheng slapped the tea table with one hand, and his anger floated around him, and he shouted with Lu Xun in a commanding tone: "Xun'er, it's rare for the fifth princess to come to the capital once, no matter what the reason, you just leave like this, isn't it too indiscriminate?" Is it possible to achieve it because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is broad-minded, do you have to be so bent on going your own way, regardless of the overall situation? ”
Thinking about the big picture? Hehe, probably only Lu Xun knows that the overall situation in his father's mouth is to let himself cope with the next dinner, and he has to take the initiative to show favor to Yuwen Chaoyi.
Lu Zheng's words pierced Lu Xun's body like nails, where did Lu Xun not sleep well last night, it was obvious that he was overwhelmed by the purpose that Lu Zheng couldn't wait to achieve.
He closed his eyes, leaned against the window, and chose to be silent.
Lu Zheng is rarely angry with Lu Xun, but as a father, he knows why today's son is presumptuous to him, for Lu Zheng, he just thinks that Lu Xun is young and vigorous, and he doesn't understand his intentions, and he doesn't understand what he does is paving the way for Lu Xun's future.
Lu Zheng would only feel that Lu Xun was ignorant, and he would not listen to Lu Xun's wishes at all, he would only feel that everything he did was right, and Lu Xun should not resist.
"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, the old minister was excited for a while, and scared His Highness." Lu Zheng, who was trying to ease his emotions, said no to Yuwen Qi, and then changed his tone and persuaded Lu Xun with kind words: "Xun'er, Fang is impulsive for his father, don't take it to heart, wait until you finish eating, if you are tired, go back to rest, Daddy and Xuan'er take the prince and princess to it." ”
It means that the dinner can't be run, unless Lu Xun doesn't want to be his Lu Zheng's son.
Lu Xun is still silent, and now he is in a very complicated mood.
Feeling the extremely bad mood of his good brother, Yu Wenqi couldn't help but sigh for Lu Xun, he was born in the royal family, how could he not understand Lu Xun's helplessness at the moment.
A quarter of an hour later, the Drunken Immortal Tower arrived.
The carriages on both sides got off, Yuwen Chaoyi naturally took Lu Xuan's arm, walked to the other three, and just wanted to say something with a smile, but as soon as he approached, he inexplicably felt a very incongruous atmosphere.
"What's wrong with the three of you?" I don't know if Yuwen Chaoyi's sixth sense is too accurate, she puffed out her mouth and asked suspiciously.
When the words came out, Lu Zheng immediately pulled out a smile, pretending not to understand what Yuwen Chaoyi was asking, "Huh? What's wrong? What can we do? Haha, five princesses, this drunken fairy building is the largest restaurant in the capital, today a princess and His Royal Highness the prince can order casually, the old ministers are all invited! ”
"Haha, Princess Ben knows this restaurant, it's delicious!" Yuwen Chaoyi didn't think much or ask too much, regained his passion, and pulled Lu Xun into the restaurant first.
When passing by his brother, Lu Xuan subconsciously turned his head and saw the indifferent look on his face, and he was a little worried for a while.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please." At the same time, Lu Zheng gave Lu Xun, who was standing still, a warning look.
Yu Wenqi coughed, reacted very quickly, hurriedly dragged Lu Xun, and said with a smile to the prime minister: "Let's go!" Prime Minister, let's go in together! ”
Soon, I booked a private room, sat down, ordered food, and served wine.
Lu Xun's interest was still not rising, but in the process of serving the food, Yu Wenqi beside him persuaded him a few words, so that his state was much better than that in the carriage.
When the dishes were full of tables, Yuwen Chaoyi was dazzled, her salivary glands kept running, she swallowed her saliva, and the chopsticks in her hand couldn't hold it anymore, but the others didn't seem to have the intention of moving the chopsticks, which made her a little embarrassed to be the first to pick up the dishes.
"Fifth princess, eat!" Lu Zheng's eyes were fine, and when he saw Yuwen Chaoyi about to move, he said kindly.
Yuwen Chaoyi was polite, glanced at his prince brother, and waited for instructions.
Yu Wenqi nodded.
Only then did Yuwen Chaoyi feel at ease to move his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Then the princess is welcome!" ”
"Miss Xuan, you should eat more." Suddenly, Yu Wenqi got up and put a dish with chopsticks into Lu Xuan's bowl.
Lu Xun was like this suddenly, in order to help him not be troubled by the prime minister, Yu Wenqi could only lead by example and take the initiative to be the protagonist of this dinner, and this heroine naturally had to fall on Lu Xuan's head.
