Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then shook his head: "Listen, right?" ”

"That's right, it's you." Lu Yi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "I copied all the names, I don't believe you can see it yourself." ”

Now Zhao Lei believes that he is not mishearing the rumors.

There were five names on the paper, and sure enough, there was him.

Even so, Zhao Lei didn't take it seriously: "I'm just a foil for people, and the people above me are not better than me." ”

"Well, in terms of appearance, Song Yue is better than you. Where did you go wrong in this life? When Lao Shangshu was still there, he was praised as a good demeanor, you look at least seven points like Lao Shangshu, how can you be ugly? ”

Zhao Lei can not take himself seriously, but when he mentioned his grandfather, he was immediately solemn: "If my grandfather is here, he will definitely be angry with my unscrupulous descendants." I am a man of little merit, and I have lived up to my grandfather's expectations of me when he was alive, and I am sorry for what his old man taught me. ”

"You have to be a high-ranking official to be promising?" Lu Yi shook his head: "Then it seems that most people in the world are unproductive people, even me, don't others say it?" I am a man who spends his days idle, unprofessional, unfilial to his father, and disrespectful to his brother......"

Zhao Lei hurriedly waved his hand, so anxious that his face was about to turn red. He nests in the study and studio all the year round, he doesn't see the sun much, he is born white, and now in a hurry, his face is like a red cloth, and even his neck is red: "Brother Lu, I can't speak, you, don't squeeze me, the two of us are different." ”

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he continued, "You are different from me. Brother Lu is an ambitious person, although you don't usually say it, but I know it. You have traveled outside, and you have done a lot of things to hoe the strong and help the weak, and help the poor, which can be called a chivalrous word......"

This time, Lu Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't say it, my teeth are very sore, why do I think the person you are talking about is not the same person as me?" I just have a bad temper, and I want to take care of things that don't please my eyes, and I'm far from a hero. Okay, let's get down to business. Do you want to do this colt? ”

Zhao Lei instinctively shook his head.

"Don't want to do it? The third princess can't look down on it? ”

"No, no, no." Lu Lei said: "I never thought about it. ”

I didn't even think much about getting married before, but then Zhang's mother urged them, and Zhao Lei also wanted to marry a woman with a gentle and smooth temperament, anyway, they just lived together, and it was more important than anything else.

As a result, a thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and he could even be a colt, Princess Shang? It didn't seem real to him until now.

"You know the third princess, you have spoken, and you have eaten together, so you can't say that you are a stranger. What do you think of the three princesses? ”

How about the three princesses?

Zhao Lei lowered his head and was silent for a while: "Of course the princess is very good, but I am not a good match for the princess." ”

Alas, this man.

Lu Yi and Zhao Lei are too familiar with each other, and they know that his temperament is like this, except for painting, he never cares about the things next to him, and he has to have someone else in front of him to pull and someone else to push him in the back before he can take a step forward.

There is no quarrel with the world, indifferent and self-restraint, it is a virtue, but in this world, many things have to be fought for, and blindly giving in can only be trampled on by others' continuous attacks, and finally there is no place to stand. As the saying goes, when people go to high places, it's not that everyone in the world is so utilitarian, but if you don't go, there is no way to live.

I'm afraid his temperament is difficult to change.

But Lu Yi still hopes that he can seize this opportunity.

"The third princess is a good girl, although she is in the heavenly family, she has no arrogance. You should also know that the third princess is not born to the emperor. ”

Zhao Lei nodded.

It's no secret, the third princess is actually the daughter of King Qin, Yuan Pei, not long after her mother's death, she was taken care of by the Cao family, who was not the queen at the time, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he gave this niece the title of a princess.

As for why King Qin's own daughter is not raised by himself, everyone knows each other. has a stepmother and a stepfather, and the third princess must not be able to survive at home, so Queen Cao raised her.

"She is actually similar to you, although the people in the Qinwang Mansion are her relatives, but these people are worse than strangers to her, at least strangers will not always think about pulling out the thorn in her eye."

No one has experienced this experience more deeply than Zhao Lei. After his grandfather died, he was robbed of everything that should have belonged to him by his cousin and other clansmen, and if it weren't for his grandfather's old friends who lent him a helping hand, he wouldn't have kept this house, and even his little life would have been gone.

Close relatives...... Sometimes their faces and intentions are inferior to those of beasts.

"So, I think you and the third princess should be quite able to speak, after all, they have both suffered ups and downs, and you can understand her situation and mood better than others. Besides, I know the other people who are waiting to be selected, and I don't think they can compare to you. In terms of character and appearance, you are not worse than them. If you want to talk about family background, these things are even more irrelevant, anyway, if you are a colt, you will never be able to touch the family again. Look at Meng Yuma, go back two years, can you think that he will be a princess? ”

Unexpectedly.

Meng Liu is a well-known sick man, many people say that he is not a long-lived appearance at first glance, the Meng family does not stop, Grandpa Meng's concubines are all ready to move, and the side branches of the Meng family are still playing the idea of succession, everyone has long regarded Meng Liu as a dead man, an obstacle that can be kicked away at any time.

"But you see, Meng Fuma is not having a good time with the princess now?"

This is naturally good.

Zhao Lei has been to Princess Fuyu's mansion more than once or twice, Meng Juma and Princess Fuyu's love is well known in Beijing, everyone says that Meng Juma is considerate and gentle, and that the princess is a good family affair, and their child will be born soon.

"You see, even if you are a royal princess, what you ask for is very simple, and it is enough to have someone who is willing to treat you sincerely. When it comes to being nice to people, do you think you're worse than the people on this list? The other princesses are more or less selfish, or they want the princess's help, or they have other plans, and you are better than them. ”

Lu Yi knew him too well, and every word knocked on his heart.

"If you have a princess, you will definitely be good to her. But the others can't be saved...... You say, don't you? ”

Be......

Zhao Lei swallowed the word back and whispered: "This is not decided, I may not be selected." ”

Hehe, it's easy to do with this sentence.

Lu Yi couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Lei will say this, which proves that he is already inclined to be selected.

"Yes, it's not certain whether you can be selected or not, but you have to be serious, don't let people think that you are careless about this matter, and don't take the princess to heart at all."

Of course, even if the princess's husband is not him, he can't make people feel contemptuous.
