When Yi Yu returned home from the Literature Museum, the banquet had already dispersed, and only people were left cleaning in the front yard, and the two rooms went back to their houses to rest.

The snow was still falling, and Yu Yu returned to the main hall of Xiang Li Courtyard, Lu Zhi was also there, she took off the cloak on her body, took the hot towel handed by Ping Tong and wiped her hands, and then sat down opposite him.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Yi Yu asked, today's funeral, Lu Zhi didn't close his eyes last night.

Lu Zhi put down the bamboo slips that he was looking at casually when he was waiting for her, and let all the people in the house quit before he said, "What is King Wei looking for you to do?" ”

When Yi Yu went out, he only said that he was going to the Literature Museum, and he didn't think about deliberately hiding it from him, so he honestly told Li Tai about the recurrence of the nightmare, and asked by the way, "How do you know that King Wei is looking for me?" ”

Lu Zhi thought about Li Tai's recurrence, and said, "When I saw Mr. Du when I saw off the guest, I heard what he said, I don't think I would worry about you," seeing her nodding clearly, he frowned and continued:

"I've told you a few times, I want you to keep your distance from King Wei, you don't want to go in and out, forget it this time, wait for him to be dispensed with an antidote, whether it is in front of people or in private, don't have anything to do with him, you know?"

Yi Yu wanted to answer that he knew, but he couldn't say it. Treating Li Tai, no, or the attitude towards the princes, Lu Zhi is the same as Lu Zhongzhi in this regard, and he doesn't want her to be implicated. But things are not as easy as a word, and they can't be done when they say it.

That day in Beiyuan to enjoy the flowers, she also swore to warn Li Tai to dare to force her to try, but when she saw the man again a few days later, she still couldn't help but feel lost and sad, and she didn't even have the courage to inquire about him and the Oriental Pearl. Such indecision is something she doesn't want to, but she can't control.

She also thought about it, and wanted to tell Lu Zhi everything about it, so that he could clearly help her come up with ideas, but knowing that he would oppose it, according to the truth, she still lacked that courage, so she would hide it again and again, and until now, Lu Zhi didn't know that she and Li Tai were already "secretly Chen Cang".

Lu Zhi saw that she was stunned in front of him, his eyelids jumped, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart, his voice was lightened, and he said: "Xiaoyu, the eldest brother is too busy during this time, one is busy with funerals, and the other is looking for his mother and second brother, and he doesn't take care of you much, do you have anything to worry about?" ”

"I..." Yi Yu raised his eyes, and saw that his face was full of worry, and suddenly the courage came from nowhere, and the words that he was going to suppress in his heart rushed to his head, resting on the table, his hands tightened suddenly, and he lowered his head and said quickly:

"On the morning of my grandfather's death, I met King Wei in Furong Garden, and he said, ......"

"Huh?" Her voice was too low and she spoke so fast that Lu Zhi couldn't hear the second half of the sentence, but when she raised her voice and said it again, her delicate and handsome face stiffened significantly.

"King Wei, he said that when my birthday is over next year, I will go to the emperor to ask for an engagement."

When Yi Yu said this, she didn't dare to look up at Lu Zhi's face, although he didn't mention it when he saw Li Tai today, but she knew that what that person said was 100% true, saying that he wanted to be engaged to her, and promised that there would be a letter as soon as her birthday passed.

The room was silent for a while, and then she heard Lu Zhi's voice again:

"That's what he told you? And what about you, what do you think, you promised him? ”

Yi Yu hurriedly said, "I didn't." Not only did he not agree, but he also splashed his face with tea in front of so many people with a hot brain, and said cruel words.

"I ask you what you think, to be honest." Lu Zhi's tone was very calm, but with a rare majesty.

Yi Yu raised his eyes and peeked at him, but when he saw that the smile on his face disappeared, he changed from a kind and kind big brother to a "strict father" state, shrunk his neck, and muttered:

"But he's going to take a concubine, I, I don't want to serve a husband with others."

There didn't sound wrong with what she said, but Lu Zhi took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and asked:

"Then you mean that if he doesn't have a concubine, you want to agree?"

"I ......" Yi Yu saw the green tendons on his forehead, she couldn't help but be cowardly, and she was even more helpless, she wanted to agree? Li Tai said it clearly, people don't care about her thoughts, the implication is that no matter whether she agrees or not, no one is bad.

"You like him?" Lu Zhi saw her and asked.

"Huh?" Yu Yu was stunned, and he broke his heart, and his cheeks quickly dyed red.

Without her answering, Lu Zhi had already got the answer from her expression, seeing that the worst premonition had come true, he controlled his temper, stretched out his hand, crossed the narrow tea table, patted her on the shoulder, and coaxed:

"A man like King Wei is easy to be admired by women, but you are still young, how can you tell what the love between men and women is, it should be a temporary infatuation, don't worry, you will have less contact with him in the future, and you will gradually forget, listen to the eldest brother, okay?"

Brother and sister for many years, he guessed her, and she naturally guessed him, if he took advantage of the situation, he would have revealed it, but in this way, she was afraid that she would not have the courage to be honest with him in the future.

“...... It's not like I like big brother, I don't like Sister Xiaofeng or Xiaohu, I like to stay with him, even if it's just reading a book, it's good that the two of them don't talk. I know that he will be angry and sad if he wants to take a concubine, big brother, you should know that although I am young, my mind is precocious—I really like him. With a horizontal heart, Yu Yu said slowly.

Lu Zhi's concentration and recuperation are superior, after hearing this, the palm that fell on her shoulder slowly retracted, snorted coldly, narrowed a pair of eyes, and no longer showed mercy on his mouth:

"Are you stupid? Li Tai is a person with some thoughts, don't you know! In vain, I have told you so much about the situation, but you don't know how to tell the difference! Okay, I'm going to wake you up today - talk about some big rebellion, if you marry him, there are only two possibilities, one is that he will fight for that position in the future, and you will enjoy all the glory with him, but you will also fight with the women of this world for a man! Second, if he loses in the future, if he is lucky, the new emperor is generous, you may still be able to save a small life, but you will also have to bear the infamy of the previous life, just like the family of King Na'an! ”

Yi Yu was poked in the chest by his words, these things were what she had expected a long time ago, but they could be said from another person's mouth, but they were so harsh. She did not forget that Li Tai in history was defeated, his glory and grace were scattered, and he was isolated in a remote county, and finally died in another country at the age of forty.

Lu Zhi said sharply and sharply, his breath was not chaotic at all, his eyes changed, and his voice became calmer, "Don't say it far away, you just said that you don't want to serve a husband with others, then do you know, what did I hear at the noon banquet?" ”

"What?" Yi Yu faintly felt that it would not be a good thing, but when he heard him say it, the red on his face immediately receded.

"Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites said at the banquet that they only went to the house of the Oriental Lord yesterday to announce the edict, pointing out that Miss Mingzhu as the side room of King Wei and choosing a day to complete the marriage."

Seeing her gloomy expression, Lu Zhi struck while the iron was hot and asked, "King Wei said that he wanted to be engaged to you, but did he say that he would marry or accept?" ”

If you marry, you will be big, and if you accept, you will be small.

“...... He didn't say it. Yu Yu said astringently, but he had an answer in his heart.

Lu Zhi sighed lightly and said:

"Xiaoyu, it's not that the eldest brother despises you, the King of Wei should really like you a little, otherwise he wouldn't have any plans to engage with you, it's just that, according to the current situation of our Lu family, my grandfather died, and the eldest uncle was the eldest uncle, and the second uncle only had a four-grade idle job, which is really not enough to see, let alone our sons and nephews who have no fathers. You just marry in the past, that is, a side room, and according to the heart of King Wei, sooner or later you will marry a helpful concubine, to put it mildly, the names of those side concubines are good, but the status in the mansion is very different from the concubine. You must know that Princess Wei is the wife of King Wei Mingming, the woman who wants to accompany him, and they are the real husband and wife. ”

His last sentence was like a hammer smashed into Yu Yu's heart, and the bitterness of the past few days was broken by a word. Things have become clear, if she marries, she must be the only one, so that she has the confidence to serve that person wholeheartedly, but Li Tai's position is destined to make her unable to occupy the only position, so she can't treat him wholeheartedly, let alone change anything. Since she is destined to not be the only one, she is still struggling with something!

"Well, that's all I have to say, think about it again, do you want to be like your grandfather and grandmother for the rest of your life, or—"

"You don't need to say it," Yi Yu sniffed, raised his sleeve and wiped his face, and looked at Lu Zhi fixedly with two reddened eyes, "I'm not stupid, so don't be someone else's small!" Absolutely not! ”

After a careful look at her face, and seeing her unabashedly eyes, Lu Zhi put it down with a "whoosh", raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were hooked again, and said:

"Then, you don't have to worry about this, King Wei's side, the eldest brother will deal with it, he thinks that anyone can marry my Lu Zhi's sister casually."

"Hmm!" Yi Yu nodded vigorously, burst into laughter, and the clouds of the past few days gradually lifted. Putting this matter behind her, she deliberately changed the topic, so she raised her eyebrows in his style and said:

"I've said everything, isn't it fair, big brother? Others are as old as you and have children, but you always avoid it, isn't it - you already have someone you like? ”

Hearing this, a trace of complexity leaked out of Lu Zhi's eyes, but it disappeared before she knew it, chuckled and shook her head, got up from the blanket, and said:

"I'm tired, go to sleep for a while, you promised to help people, he sent all the medicinal materials, it's in your house, remember to avoid the next person."

Knowing that he was accustomed to slipping away at the mention of this, Yi Yu didn't want to pull anything out of his mouth, but just held his chin to watch him come out of the room, sat down and drank half a pot of tea, pondered for half an hour, and then went back to the inner room to prepare a small pill for the masked man.
