Chapter 42: Reluctant

"Where are you going?" King Huan was reluctant to let her go, pulled her, and said softly and slowly: "Don't think about it, there is no girl, just keep it." ”

Lu Ruoqing said "um".

King Huan smiled again, "Actually, if you don't come, I originally planned to give it to my cousin." ”

Cousin? Lu Ruoqing's face changed suddenly.

In her previous life, because of King Huan's handsomeness, dignity, and talent, she was not the only woman who was attracted. There are countless like Lu Zhenger, and there is also a girl who can be equal to her.

That is Murong Changya.

The only widowed daughter of the eldest princess of Rongguo, the niece of the current emperor, and the cousin of King Huan, not only is she outstanding in all aspects, but she also has a prominent Murong family identity!

Although she is better in appearance and talent, her family background is not as good as Murong Changya's .......

Therefore, King Huan's original ideal should be to make Murong Changya the princess of Huan.

And she is a side concubine, a good wife and a beautiful concubine, the best of both worlds.

Later, in order to calculate Xiao Shaoxuan, King Huan would make a show to the outside world, pretending to marry her as a princess, and then make her an abandoned woman who lost her virginity! It became a stepping stone for him to defeat Xiao Shaoxuan and embark on the road to the prince!

Hehe, it's so calculated.

Lu Ruoqing's heart was almost burned by the fire of hatred.

"Ruoqing?" Seeing that her face was slightly pale, King Huan had some suspicions in his heart, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" Do you know my cousin? ”

"I don't know." Lu Ruoqing came back to her senses and shook her head, "But I've heard that Miss Murong is the daughter of the eldest princess of Rongguo, with a noble identity and both talent and appearance. ”

A flash of gloom flashed in her eyes.

Of course, this is for King Huan to see.

King Huan naturally misunderstood, and smiled, "Don't worry, my cousin's temper is very good." ”

This is clearly saying that Murong Changya is the candidate for Princess Huan in his heart.

Lu Ruoqing chuckled in her heart.

yes, she should have thought of it a long time ago.

Why was he so stupid in his previous life? believed King Huan's nonsense, and thought that he really loved her to the bone, and would rather contradict Concubine Su Shu than insist on marrying her to be Princess Huan.

The result? She lost her virginity on the day of her wedding, and naturally she lost the position of princess.

After that, King Huan married Murong Changya.

Murong Changya! is the woman that King Huan really valued in his past and present lives, the princess in his heart! And she is just a chess piece, a big joke.

In her previous life, she adhered to everyone's ladies' practice, and she was not close to King Huan, she was affectionate and polite, so King Huan did not say the choice of princess in his heart, it was his cousin Murong Changya.

In this life, let her know in advance.

However, King Huan's mouth, black can be said to be white, if there is a chance in this life that she needs to lose her virginity, he will definitely say that he has no feelings for Murong Changya, and he is sincere to her.

Ha ha! Disgusting!

King Huan kept staring at her, "Still worried?" ”

Lu Ruoqing retracted her mind and pretended to be nervous, "When His Royal Highness's birthday banquet comes, Miss Murong will also go, right?" I would like to get to know each other if I have the chance. ”

A concubine's room looks like a wife in advance.

King Huan smiled, "Cousin will naturally come to the banquet, I can see it." ”

Lu Ruoqing said softly: "Well, I will keep a sense of proportion." ”

King Huan smiled, "Don't worry, my cousin is very generous, and I don't ...... it" The word concubine didn't say anything, "Anyway, you'll know if you've seen your cousin." ”

Lu Ruoqing was really sick to her stomach when she heard it, and she really didn't want to stay any longer.

Just as he wanted to find an excuse to say goodbye, he saw a girl outside, stood at the door and said, "Your Highness, Lord Zhang, they are here." ”

King Huan's face suddenly turned solemn, "Got it." ”

Lu Ruoqing knew that Lord Zhang's group of staff must have something important to discuss.

Sure enough, King Huan immediately said: "You go back first, I have something to do here." ”

Lu Ruoqing hurriedly said: "My brother is still waiting for me outside, and I am afraid that he will be worried after waiting for a long time, so I will leave first." It will be His Highness's birthday banquet in a few days, and we will meet again. ”

King Huan smiled: "Well, I'll send you out." ”

Lu Ruoqing hurriedly said: "Your Highness is busy first, no need." ”

King Huan still insisted on sending her, of course, but to the door of the study, not the gate of the palace.

But even so, it's a super high-standard treatment.

Lu Ruoqing thanked her again and again before leaving.

As soon as he went out, Lu Mubai quickly greeted him, "How is it?" You okay. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled lightly, "It's okay." ”

"Let's go, get in the car." Lu Mubai took his sister and got into the carriage together.

"His Royal Highness King Huan agreed, he will say hello to Lord Jing Zhaoyin, and when Dad goes over to pick up the kite, he will ask for a benefit fee of 30,000 taels of silver." Lu Ruoqing said carefully.

"Your Highness...... I just promised you?" Lu Mubai felt a little ridiculous.

Lu Ruoqing chuckled, "Your Highness is a person who pities fragrant and cherishes jade, I heard that I was scolded by my father for no reason, and I was almost punished by the family law, so I was naturally angry in my heart, so I helped me." ”

Lu Mubai was dumbfounded.

"Besides, it's not in vain." Lu Ruoqing said: "I promised to give His Royal Highness King Huan an ancient sword and a good horse, and also give Lord Jing Zhaoyin a thousand taels of silver for his hard work." ”

“…………”

"But I'm not at a loss." Lu Ruoqing opened the box in her hand and said with a smile: "You see, His Royal Highness King Huan heard that I was going to give an ancient sword and a good horse, and as soon as he was happy, he rewarded me with a box of diamond diamonds." ”

“…………”

"Speaking of which, I've earned it."

"Ruoqing, you ......" Lu Mubai almost fainted, pointing at her, "Didn't you say that you don't want to be the concubine of King Huan?" This is another complaint of grievances and a heavy gift, doesn't it make His Royal Highness King Huan think about you even more? ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I don't please him, how can I let him open his mouth to help?" ”

"But ......"

"Yes, he does think more about me." A sneer flashed in Lu Ruoqing's eyes, "However, Concubine Su doesn't like squeamish and bewitching women, she won't agree to this family business." ”

"Are you going to offend Concubine Su?!" Lu Mubai's eyes widened.

His sister is becoming more and more daring, and her boldness is beyond his understanding.

"What do you call offended?" Lu Ruoqing chuckled, "His Royal Highness King Huan's banquet, I'm dressed up a little better, right?" Seeing Concubine Su, it's not wrong for me to deliberately please her, right? If she wants to hate me, I can't help it. ”

It's a good way, but ......

Lu Mubai couldn't help frowning, "Where did you hear that Concubine Su hates squeamish and enchanting women?" ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't tell the truth, "If you have the heart to inquire, you will naturally know." ”

Lu Mubai asked, "You hate being King Huan's concubine so much?" In case you offend Concubine Su Shu, and in the end, His Royal Highness King Huan still marries you as a side concubine, so how will you face Concubine Su Shu in the future? It's not asking for trouble. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled faintly, "If it really comes to this point, then I will change my mistakes." I will do whatever Su Shufei likes, and if she asks me to go east, I will never go west. ”

"............" Lu Mubai was speechless for a long time before sighing, "That's it, I can't stop you." ”

He can persuade his sister, but what's the use? turned back to the banquet of King Huan, what should my sister do, how to say, can he still block his sister? I was a little angry at the bottom of my heart.

"Alright, brother." Lu Ruoqing pushed him and said, "Don't think that if I don't be the concubine of King Huan, I will suffer a loss, who knows if I am avoiding trouble?" You have also seen that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes are growing in their wings, and it is impossible to say what will happen in the future. ”

Lu Mubai suddenly became serious, "Are you worried about ......, the battle for the crown prince?" ”

"yes."

Lu Mubai's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Do you think that His Royal Highness King Huan and His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, it is impossible to predict who will win and who will lose." Rather than getting involved in the battle for the crown prince, it is better to avoid it. ”

Lu Ruoqing nodded, "Brother, you're still young." Even if it is a middle lift, a middle jinshi, and a career in office, it will take at least ten years to improve, right? Our Lu family doesn't stand in line, just be pure ministers. ”

Lu Mubai was shocked in his heart.

He originally thought that his sister was awkward and deliberately played with her temper, but he didn't expect her sister to have such far-reaching views.

"Don't worry." Lu Ruoqing said again: "This time I asked for 30,000 taels of silver from my father, aside from the ones given to His Royal Highness King Huan and Lord Jing Zhaoyin, I will keep some money for myself, and the remaining 20,000 taels of silver will be given to my brother." ”

Lu Mubai shook his head, "What do you want to do for me?" I don't have to do anything, and I don't have a place to use it. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled lightly: "I can take it." When the time comes, my brother needs to find someone, just come to me. Otherwise, you will stay in the academy and take so much silver. ”

Lu Mubai did not object.

One, this is my sister's heart. Second, if you enter the official career in the future, you will definitely need to pay for it, he is not the kind of pedantic reader, thinking that just being high is enough.

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't need that much, you can leave 10,000 taels as a dowry." ”

Trousseau? Who are you marrying?

Lu Ruoqing didn't want to harm others, and besides, she didn't want to marry for the time being.

When she arrived at the Lu Mansion, Lu Ruoqing prepared to go to Rongde Hall first.

Lu Mubai followed.

Lu Ruoqing whispered: "Brother, don't go, what if I ask you to pick up the zither later?" ”

Lu Mubai instantly understood, and said: "Then I'll go see my mother first, tell her that you're okay, and then go out to buy some paper, ink, pen, inkstone or something, and come back later." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled slightly, "Well, just come back before dark." ”

Lu Mubai turned around and went to the Youzhu Pavilion.

Lu Ruoqing took the girls to Rongde Hall.

Yun Lu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?" Has His Royal Highness King Huan agreed to fly a kite? ”

"Promised." Lu Ruoqing nodded, went straight to the hall, and said in front of Yun Taijun: "I apologized to His Highness for Sister Zheng'er, and His Highness said that he would say hello to Lord Jing Zhaoyin and release him." ”

Yun Taijun suddenly said excitedly: "Ah! That's great. ”
