Chapter 16: Trouble
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the princess said today, Prince Qin cares about the world and is busy with government affairs, so I don't have to worry about you." Zhao, who was sitting next to Lu Zhengxiao, raised his glass in response.
On the surface, he found a reason for Lu Yue, but in essence, he admitted that Lu Yue was the only one to return to the door today, and the prince who was supposed to appear was not delayed by some urgent matter, but he didn't plan to come at all.
Lu Yue's expression was cold, and since then, she couldn't say anything. But is all this that the Zhao family arranged today really just to slap himself in the face? If it wasn't necessary to go through such a lengthy effort just to humiliate her, then what was her real purpose?
"I heard folk rumors that on the day the princess married into the palace, she was also humiliated in every way, I didn't believe it back then, but now it seems to be true." The donkey-faced man on the field whispered, the voice was not loud or small, but it happened to reach the ears of Lu Yue and Lu Zhengxiao.
Lu Zhengxiao didn't know about this, if it weren't for his daughter's troubles that day, he wouldn't want to marry his daughter into the palace and wade into this troubled water.
thought that with his own property, even if he couldn't be a favorite concubine, he would be able to live peacefully in that palace. Besides, when the King of Qin came to ask for marriage that day, he clearly promised that he would let Yue'er live in peace in the palace.
But now that there is such a big event as returning to the door, only the daughter has come forward, and if you think about it carefully, in just three days, the daughter has become so well-behaved and docile, and it is not difficult to think about what kind of life her daughter is living in the palace.
Lu Zhengxiao He had thought that the pearl in his palm would be wronged like this, and he was angry for a while, slapped the table, and pointed to the donkey-faced man just now and said, "What did you just say, what grievances did you say Yue'er suffered when she got married?" ”
Seeing that Lu Zhengxiao was angry, Lu Yue hurriedly got up and wanted to comfort, "Daddy, it's just a folk rumor, my daughter didn't suffer any ......"
Before Lu Yue could finish speaking, Zhao suddenly hid his face and sobbed, "Yue'er, you have been wronged, why don't you tell your family!" ”
After that, he faced Lu Zhengxiao and wiped his tears and said, "Yue'er hasn't seen her suddenly so sensible for a few days, I still feel relieved, but I don't want to be like this because I was wronged, master, you must be the master of Yue'er!" ”
The Zhao family already belongs to the charming appearance, and now he is crying in a coquettish voice, and the people who hear it are sad and the people who see it cry, and they all praise Zhao's stepmother for being kind.
It's just that Lu Yue frowned, Zhao suddenly cried, and the image of a loving mother came out, but her words not only satirized her former rudeness, but also confirmed that she had been bullied in the palace.
Where can Lu Zhengxiao bear this anger, he was even more angry when he was excited by Zhao's words, he could be insulted and bullied, but how could his baby daughter behave, the table was slapped with a bang, and he directly scolded King Qin for not keeping his word.
"I also heard that the princess was assassinated in Mingxianglou a few days ago, and the rumors are even more unbearable." It's still the donkey-faced man, with a pair of downside-down eyes exuding a lewd smile.
"What, what did you say, assassinated?" Lu Zhengxiao's hand slapping the table stopped, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the man, "You tell me clearly, who assassinated Yue'er?" ”
"Daddy......" Lu Yue saw that Lu Zheng was angry and wanted to walk to him, but was stopped by the Zhao family, who came first.
"Yue'er, tell your father well, who has a grudge against you and dares to do such evil in broad daylight." Zhao cried as he grabbed Lu Yue's arm to stop her from passing.
Lu Yue was about to turn Zhao's hand away, but there was a sharp pain in her arm, and when she looked down, Zhao's bright red nails were deeply pinching her arm, and the expression on her face had begun to distort.
But no one noticed this scene, and the attention of everyone at the table was focused on the donkey-faced man, wondering what amazing rumors he was about to say.
The donkey-faced man looked at Lu Yue, Xu saw that she was really a princess, and she couldn't have any impact on herself, and her words were even more presumptuous.
"Some people say that it is the prince's favorite prostitute, and he hates because of jealousy, and some people say that he ......" The donkey-faced man squeezed his drooping eyes and smiled, and his deep-set cheeks looked particularly obscene.
"Say what!" Lu Zhengxiao slapped the table, and his voice was hoarse.
"said that it was the princess's old love, and some even said that they already had children, and they were unwilling, so this is ......"
Before the man finished speaking, he only heard a violent cough in front of the hall, and blood spurted out of Lu Zhengxiao's mouth.
His daughter knows that no matter how rude and willful she is, Duan Duan will not do such a thing.
"It must be the King of Qin, it must be the King of Qin......" Lu Zhengxiao's hands trembled, and his face became more and more pale.
Lu Yue's heart trembled, and she hurriedly pushed Zhao's hand away, wanting to go to her father's side, but Zhao stopped her tightly, like a dead dog, and climbed on her arm tightly, pinching her a few times when no one was paying attention.
"Quickly help the master to the side room to rest, and then pass the imperial doctor!" Lu Lanting gave an order, and several slaves hurriedly took the order and left.
Suddenly, the door to the banquet hall was opened.
"Your Excellency is really against your reputation, knowing that it is a folk rumor, you actually bring such a baseless topic to this banquet to spread it, it is really inferior to ordinary people."
A young but calm voice came.
Everyone looked, only to see a ten-year-old boy standing in front of the door, dressed in a white brocade robe woven with auspicious cloud patterns, and the white jade crown on his head tightly tied the black hair.
The little boy's face was indifferent, and a little girl in green followed behind him was angry.
The donkey-faced man knew that the child was talking about him, so his face was naturally a little unbearable, his narrow eyebrows wrinkled, and his face was pulled down, making it look longer and longer.
Stretching out his hand to point at him, he shouted unhappily, "Which little monkey came out!" ”
When Xuan'er heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and her tone was still cold, "My lord doesn't care which family I belong to, my family has a strict family education, first, Duan will not bring unfounded rumors to the table to talk about it, and second, he will not talk about the misfortune of his children in front of his seriously ill father, but adults don't even understand the truth that children know." ”
When Lu Yue heard Xuan'er's words, her eyes suddenly froze, she had always wondered why the Zhao family had arranged such a big banquet to humiliate herself, but now it seems that it was her own authorities who were confused, this man obviously deliberately said the rumors in front of his father and everyone, and as a result, one was ashamed of his father, and the other was to provoke the relationship between the Qin and Lu families.
The donkey-faced man was humiliated by a hairy child in public, and he became even more angry, thinking of the purpose of coming today, he turned his head to look at Lu Yue again, and there was a dirty light in his eyes.
