Chapter 34: The Prince's Banquet
Lu Qingyi dropped this sentence and turned around to go back to the room, for so many years, his father and Mrs. Ru have been a good couple praised by the world, but no one mentioned the original partner who accompanied him through the difficult times, as if with her departure, people have forgotten.
"Why haven't you ever told me this all these years?" Father Lu's voice trembled slightly, and it was only now that he suddenly realized that he owed Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi's back was a little stiff, "What is the difference between saying it and not saying it?" His words were full of disappointment, for for so many years, whether he had been abused since he was a child, or whether he had been treated unwell when he grew up, his father had always believed in the words of his wife, and had never believed him.
Father Lu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed slightly.
Lu Qingyi returned to the room, Feng Sheng saw that his face was wrong, and wanted to step forward to comfort him, but in the end he just stood silently with him.
Early the next morning, someone sent an invitation, which was sent by the prince Chang Gan, saying that there was a banquet tonight to invite Lu Qingyi to attend together.
Feng Sheng looked at the golden invitation on the table and looked at Lu Qingyi, "Do you want to go?" Although Chang Qian is the crown prince, he actually did nothing, but his reputation was not very good, and he often made things difficult for Lu Qingyi and others, which made Feng Sheng very disgusted.
"Go, why not? He couldn't do anything to me. "What does Prince Lu Qingyi want to do here, although he is the prince, but the whole court is eyeing him, especially the second prince Chang Wen, the two of them fight fiercely in private, of course, if you want to talk about means, the prince can't fight the second prince.
Now he just wants to start with him, to pull him over to his own faction.
Although Lu Qingyi is not an official in the court, his family is wealthy and he is deeply liked by the emperor, if he helps, he is no worse than those ministers.
Before going to the banquet, Lu Qingyi first went to find Chang Yi, and since the prince invited him, he would inevitably invite Chang Yi to go with him.
Chang Yi was not surprised to see Lu Qingyi, they all knew what kind of wishful thinking the prince was playing.
"You said that in the end, who will sit on the throne between the crown prince and the second emperor brother?" Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi took a carriage to the prince's mansion together, and they were bored along the way, so Chang Yi always had to find a topic to pass the time.
Lu Qingyi sighed lightly, "One is mediocre, the other is fierce and cruel, no matter who it is, the world will be in dire straits." ”
It is true that the crown prince and the second prince are not the most suitable candidates, but people's ambitions and desires are unlimited, and there are a few people who don't want to sit in that powerful position, so they love to fight and tremble, let them fight.
"Then change the question, the two of them, who are you standing on?" Chang Yi knows that if Lu Qingyi wants to get rid of this court dispute, it is really a little difficult, who called him Lu Fu rich and rival the country? If anyone can get his help, the odds of success will increase.
Lu Qingyi looked at Chang Yi and smiled, "If you want this throne, I will help you, if you don't want it, I will withdraw from it." ”
"You can't get out of it now." Chang Yi looked at Lu Qingyi very seriously, "Since you started to decide to investigate your mother's case, you can't get out, maybe in a few days, the second emperor brother will also invite you to the mansion as a guest." ”
"Please, please, just treat it as if it were a meal for nothing." Whether it was the crown prince or the second prince, it was not the person he wanted to help, so he didn't plan to get into their troubled waters, and they didn't dare to do anything to him.
chatted all the way, and after a while, I arrived at the prince's mansion. The prince greeted him at the door early, and he was accompanied by the daughters of several ministers, who were also delicate, Lu Qingyi looked at this battle, as if it was a little too heavy.
Chang Yi lowered his head and whispered, smiled, and looked like he was watching a good show, "Maybe I want to explain it to you!" ”
Lu Qingyi glanced at Chang Yi and motioned for him to say less nonsense and stepped forward to say hello to Chang Gan, "Xiao Sheng has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Chang Yi also said hello.
"I've heard that Lu Gongzi has returned to Beijing for a long time, but I only have time to invite you to come to the house for a light meal today." When Chang Qian saw Lu Qingyi, he smiled happily, "Come, go into the house, the meals are ready." ”
Lu Qingyi followed into the living room, all the meals were ready, naturally they were sumptuous, they were all very rare dishes, if Shen Xi saw it, he would be crazy with joy.
When he sat down, the prince insisted on arranging for two official ladies to sit next to Lu Qingyi, and the two daughters were very happy, after all, this Lu Qingyi wanted to have a good look, and he wanted a family background.
But Lu Qingyi felt extremely uncomfortable, he got up and said to Chang Gan, "Prince, Xiaosheng should sit with the third prince!" Xiaosheng is allergic to fragrance, and I'm really embarrassed. ”
Lu Qingyi's request, not only Chang Gan's face was ugly, but even the faces of the two young ladies were even more ugly, Chang Yi secretly laughed, this prince is afraid that he doesn't know that this Lu Qingyi is allergic to women other than Shen Xi.
"Brother Huang, Lu Gongzi is indeed allergic to incense powder, if you don't fulfill him, I'm afraid that this meal will not be eaten." Although Chang Yi wanted to see Lu Qingyi's jokes, he still got up to help him intercede.
Chang Gan saw that Chang Yi said this, so he had no choice but to agree.
Lu Qingyi was relieved to sit on Chang Yi's side, but Chang Yi didn't forget to make fun of him, "This prince wants to use a woman to win you over, I'm afraid he will really be wrong." ”
Lu Qingyi took a sip of tea and glared at Chang Yi, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." ”
"I heard that Lu Gongzi has not yet married, so I invited you to come today, just to find a few girls for you, thinking that I would let you get to know each other, if you think it is okay, I will pick a time to get married, I didn't expect Lu Gongzi to be allergic to incense powder, it is really unexpected by this prince." In Chang Gan's eyes, men like to be good-looking, beautiful and intellectual.
"Brother Huang, don't you know, my father also introduced a woman to Lu Gongzi, it was a very beautiful person, but he rejected it, you don't know that your father's face was angry at that time, it was all green." Chang Yi didn't forget to pat his thigh after speaking.
"But Brother Huang, you can help your brother find a girl, and if there is a suitable girl, introduce one to your brother. He, I guess I'll have to fight a bachelor for the rest of my life. Chang Yi helped Lu Qingyi relieve the siege while not forgetting to damage him.
So even if Lu Qingyi is dissatisfied with him, it's hard to say anything.
When the prince heard Chang Yi say this, his brows tightened, and he looked up at Lu Qingyi, "Lu Gongzi, do you really think so?" ”
"Back to the prince, Xiaosheng really has no plans to get married, these girls are indeed very beautiful, but they are not suitable for Xiaosheng, but you can consider the three princes." Lu Qingyi has always spoken straightforwardly, he can say whatever he has, but I don't know what this prince thinks?
Chang Yi looked at it, presumably he was so angry that he was smoking from his head now! Will there be another good show to watch later?
