Chapter 2: The Return of the Dead

That night, Lu Melo thought a lot and made a lot of trade-offs.

In her best girlhood, she had a most innocent attachment, although she had never formally admitted it before, but that desire to be together all the time, isn't it love? When the man had disappeared for a long time, finally reaching heights that she would never reach, she thought that time could sweep everything away, after all, it was six years, not six. She hid him deep in her heart, buried him, forgot about it, as if that person had never been there at that time.

Now the sudden courtship, like a violent wind, blew away the loess that buried the past, and stirred her heart into the most ferocious sandstorm. She couldn't see the way forward, she didn't know which direction to go. When this piece of sand and dust landed, her heart ached, and that person was still there, and it had always been there.

She struggled, contradicted, but what could she do, that person was too far away from her, and she didn't know if he was really what he said he had been in the past six years: to wait for him to come back. She had waited too long, and she thought he had forgotten that there was someone in the clouds waiting for him to return. Instead of guarding such a vain dream, the most important thing she should do is to live her short life well, because she still has her parents and sisters who care about her.

Lu Melo thought it through and made the final decision. She told Mrs. Lu about this decision, and although Mrs. Lu said that "there is no need to rush the matter of marriage", she was still very happy in her heart.

Mrs. Lu was not in a hurry to tell Wang Jin about this, since Lu Meiluo already had this meaning, she definitely wanted to talk to Melo's father, and then find out what happened to this Zhang family's son.

Ten days later, Lu Meiluo was embroidering a handkerchief in the house, when he heard Lu Xi's loud cry of "sister, sister", Lu Meiluo's expression couldn't help but tighten.

Her younger sister, my father didn't know how many times he said, asking her to be more stable and steady, and she looked a little restrained in front of outsiders, but when she entered her yard, she was still the same. If you are touched by your mother, you will inevitably have some preaching.

Lu Meiluo heard the shout, hurriedly put down the embroidery in his hand and walked out, and asked Lu Xi who was walking all the way with a smile: "It's still this frizzy look, what's wrong?" ”

Seeing Lu Melo come out, Lu Xi walked faster and faster, and then they all trotted up, and did not stop until they reached Lu Mello's feet. As soon as he stopped, he said, "Sister, sister, do you know, Brother Yi is coming back to Yunzhong County!" ”

"Brother Yi?" Suddenly hearing this name, Lu Melo suddenly felt very unfamiliar, this name had not appeared in her life for several years, and since she had parted six years ago, this name had not been mentioned.

"yes, yes, I just overheard it from my father!" Lu Xi looked at his sister with a look of disbelief, and immediately explained happily.

"Eavesdropping? Xi'er, your father doesn't allow you to eavesdrop, be careful that your father knows and clean you up. Lu Melo deliberately ignored the point, grabbed Lu Xi to eavesdrop on this matter and asked.

Lu Xi wilted when he heard this, and hurriedly took Merlot's hand and begged: "Sister, this is the last time, I promise, as long as you don't say it, my father won't know, right?" After speaking, he looked at Merlot pleading pitifully, and the innocent eyes were really moving.

"Yes, yes, what we Xi'er said is right." Melo said with a helpless smile, and brushed the hair from her sister's ear.

Lu Xi laughed proudly, took a step forward and walked up the steps, holding Merlot's arm and walking into the house, while still remembering: "Sister, Brother Yi is really coming back, this is what my father said personally, there will be no fake." ”

"I know, I know, our Xi'er news has always been well-informed and reliable." Merlot replied with a smile.

"That's it!" Lu Xi raised his head and said proudly.

When she walked into the house, Melo instructed the girl who followed her: "Jingwen, bring a basin of water for the second lady." Jingwen said yes and went down.

Then he pulled Lu Xi to sit down, and wiped the slight sweat on Lu Xi's forehead with the plain silk in his arms, "You wash your face in a while, and you sweat so fast." ”

Lu Xi looked at Merlot and smiled, pushed away Su Juan on his forehead with his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, sister, it's a pity, I just didn't hear the day when Brother Yi came back, otherwise, this news would be more accurate." ”

"You!" Melo looked at this sister helplessly.

She knew that her sister was very happy about Yuan Yi's return. And what about yourself? Happy? Melo asked herself in her mind. She didn't know whether to be happy or not, he was no longer the free prince of the Ping Palace, but the king who was followed by thousands of people.

During these six years, all the news about him in Los Angeles would be transmitted back to Yunzhong County, and even if she didn't bother to listen, his influence as a king would be enough to let her know what was going on.

She knew that six years earlier, at the age of twelve, he had become the emperor of the country, and she had only learned about it from her father's court letters.

She also knew that three years ago, just after the first emperor's funeral, he got married, and since then he has the Empress Murong known to everyone in the world.

Within two days, the news that the emperor was coming back to worship his ancestors spread all over Yunzhong County, and everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about it, even Merlot's father, Lu Yuanting, mentioned it at dinner.

This time the emperor worshiped his ancestors, and Lu Meiluo's father, as the main responsible official, naturally knew a lot of news. Lu Melo wanted to ask his father when he first learned the news, but in the end he held back, because her father often said: Heaven is ruthless. She could understand the meaning of this sentence, and her father was reluctant for her to have an extraordinary relationship with the high heavenly family.

Father Lu Yuanting talked to them about this incident while serving vegetables to their mother at dinner. "About five days later, the emperor will arrive in Yunzhong County, these days, the Ping Wangfu must be very busy, Xi'er should not always run over there and add to the chaos."

"Oh." Lu Xi reluctantly agreed, you know, in normal times, she basically runs once a day in Pingwangfu, but she can't go recently, and Lu Xi is a hundred unwilling in his heart.

She hoped that her sister would intercede for her, but her sister kept her head down, and ate with great peace of mind, and she couldn't see the meaning of wanting to talk, so she had to eat the meal angrily and go back to her house.

Lu Yuanting actually saw the state of his eldest daughter at dinner, and he knew that his daughter must have been thinking about it thousands of times in his heart, but he never asked him for any news about Yuan Yi.

He also heard that their mother said about courtship, and he also knew Lu Meiluo's decision, he also thought that things would develop like this, and he would be able to take care of his daughter in many ways if she married in the clouds. But now, things have changed, and he can't imagine how much the emperor's arrival will affect her daughter, so he can only wait.
