Lu's words made Gao Zhilan very useful to listen to, but on the surface, he still pouted: "It doesn't have to be when, I think I still have to continue to be bullied by that surnamed Mu." ”

"Okay, okay, aunt will go to your uncle and ask him to tell your cousin Chu quickly." Lu couldn't bear Gao Zhilan's entanglement, got up and went back to the main courtyard.

As soon as the Lu family left, Gao Zhilan immediately stopped her tears and raised the corners of her mouth: "Hmph, I should have said it a long time ago." ”

Murong Chu was urgently summoned to the hall of the main courtyard by Murong Jingzhong, the king of Beining, and bowed his hand: "Father." ”

"Chu'er, sit down and talk."

After Murong Chu sat down, Murong Jingzhong slowly spoke: "Chu'er, my father came to you today to talk to you about your marriage. ”

Murong Chu raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for his father to continue.

Murong Jingzhong coughed and cleared his throat: "It is said that you should have married and had children a few years earlier, but you have been outside, although you are anxious as a father, there is no way." Now that you have been transferred back to the capital, it is time to choose a family affair. ”

"Well, my son also thinks it's time to marry a daughter-in-law."

Murong Chu's words surprised Murong Jingzhong, but he didn't expect his son to be enlightened, so he said that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law.

"It's all because my father doesn't care enough about you, so I let your marriage drag on until now, since Chu'er also thinks it's time, let's settle things as soon as possible. Now, your mother is gone, so let your mother help you with it. ”

Murong Chu hooked the corners of his lips lightly: "Since my father said that my mother is no longer there, then where did I come from." ”

Murong Jingzhong's face stiffened, and he sighed lightly: "The Lu family is also the head of the palace, even if you don't recognize her, she is also the concubine of this king." ”

"It doesn't matter who is the father's concubine and son, but the son's mother can only have one." Murong Chu seemed to be an understatement.

"That's it, that's it, whatever you want. However, it is inconvenient for a prince to arrange a marriage for you, so leave this matter to the Lu family. Murong Jingzhong didn't want to make the relationship between father and son too stiff, so he could only make concessions.

Unexpectedly, Murong Chu said: "Father, the son's marriage does not worry about others, and the son has his own opinions." ”

"Throughout the ages, marriage matters have been ordered by parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not allowed for you to advocate for yourself."

"Parents' orders? Well, the son is willing to obey his parents' orders. ”

Murong Jingzhong, who was originally a little annoyed, didn't expect his son to suddenly become so talkative, and laughed loudly: "This king knows that Chu'er is a reasonable child. ”

"Since Chu'er's marriage is willing to be decided by his parents, then King Ben will let the Lu family go and talk to the Gao family first, and settle the marriage between you and your cousin."

"Cousin? The father should know that the son's mother has no brothers and sisters, so where did the son come from? Murong Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at his father.

Murong Jingzhong patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Chu'er, you know that my father is talking about Zhilan, whether she is your cousin or not, you have not been in the palace in the past few years, she has done her filial piety in front of the king and the princess, and she has always been in love with you, and you must treat her well in the future." ”

"Father, the son has something unclear, and I hope that the father will solve his doubts." Murong Chu said.

"Tell me, there's something you don't understand."

"Is it true that if you have a deep love for your son, your son has to marry back to the house?" Murong Chu frowned, and said with great annoyance, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the palace will be overcrowded, right?" Does the father have to consider expanding the Bac Ninh palace before his son marries? ”

"Presumptuous!" Murong Jingzhong was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, "Are you teasing this king?" ”

Murong Chu got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Father is angry, where does the son dare to tease his father." It's just that the son has no relationship with the second lady of the Gao family, let alone any affection, so the son can't marry her. ”

"Didn't you just say that you would obey your parents? Did you forget it for a while? Murong Jingzhong said with a straight face.

The son had said that he would obey his parents, and he would do so. However, the son has just returned to Beijing and is entangled in official business, so he really has no time to deal with the personal affairs of these children. I also hope that the father and the king will allow the son to handle the official affairs before making plans. Although Murong Chu's words were respectful, both his expression and tone were unquestionable.

Murong Jingzhong looked at his son, and it was not difficult to see the shadow of Jiang Chunxue, the princess of Beining, from his body, and the gentle and weak woman spoke the same way, seemingly humble, but every word was knocked in your heart, so that you could not refute it.

The beauty of the past has resurfaced in front of her, if she could have cared more about her at the beginning, maybe she would not have fallen so early.

Facing her son, who looked so much like her, Murong Jing couldn't bear to blame, and waved his hand: "It's late, go and rest." ”

Murong Chu clasped his fists: "My son retires." ”

The Lu family, who had been waiting for news in the inner room, saw Murong Jingzhong coming back, and immediately got up to greet him: "Lord Wang, how is it?" ”

"Chu'er has just returned to Beijing, and he is busy with business, and he also has his own ideas, so let's wait."

Hearing this, the Lu family couldn't help frowning: "What does Achu think of himself?" ”

Then he didn't say it, Chu'er only said that the marriage would obey the orders of his parents. However, he didn't have that in mind for Zhilan. ”

"Lord Wang, Lan'er grew up with you, whether it is appearance or talent, she is one of the best in the capital. How many noble sons came to ask for marriage were rejected by her, and they didn't miss Achu in their hearts. Lord Wang, this matter should not be delayed any longer. Lu was not reconciled and continued to lobby.

"Besides, these two children are not young, if Achu gets the help of the Gao family, it will be more beneficial to his future career."

Murong Jingzhong glanced at the Lu family: "Do you think the current Chu'er still needs to rely on marriage to help?" ”

"That's not necessary, Achu's military exploits are unmatched in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake, though? The Lu family knew that it was useless to say more, so Wan Er smiled and said, "Lord, it's not too early, the concubine will serve the prince and go to bed." ”

Although the Lu family is nearly forty years old, both his figure and skin are well maintained, and he is already born with a beautiful appearance, coupled with that charming look, if it were put in normal times, Murong Jingzhong would have been very distracted, but tonight Murong Chu reminded him of Jiang Chunxue, who died early, and that gentle face always appeared in his mind.

Murong Jingzhong, who was ashamed in his heart, had no interest in facing the Lu family at this time, and waved his sleeves: "This king still has some official business to deal with, so he will stay in the study tonight." ”

Lu Shi looked at the back of the door and left, gritted his teeth, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart to summon the maid to come in and serve her to change clothes and go to bed.

In the dead of night, Ruoping under the corridor was very entangled, and she tapped the back of Mo Li's neck according to the order from Eleven, causing Mo Li to fall into a deep sleep. Although she did this on the orders of her master, she still felt a little guilty about Mo Li.
