Chapter 9: The Giving of Marriage

Xiao Yichen said slowly: "The younger brother listens to the arrangement of the imperial brother. "As if it had nothing to do with him.

"I think the Guogong Mansion just now is good, the Guogong is loyal, even his daughter is not bad, and she looks handsome and is a good match for King Chen."

"Thank you for the emperor's praise." Lu Yuqiu raised his glass to the emperor.

Then the queen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the eldest girl or the second girl, the two girls are here today." ”

"Just the second girl who danced just now, I think it's very good, what do you think, King Chen? Hahaha. Xiao Yixuan asked.

"If the emperor says yes, that's good." Xiao Yichen's voice did not have a trace of ups and downs, so that people could not see the slightest emotion, but a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and this ruthlessness disappeared quickly without anyone seeing it.

"It's a blessing for her little girl to be able to get into the eyes of King Chen." Lu Yuqiu complimented with a smile.

At this time, Lu Xiaoran heard that it was really a bolt from the blue, and he thought to himself, "No... No... I don't want to marry King Chen... Brother Prince... I don't want to marry King Chen..."Lu Xiaoran just stood up and wanted to say something, but Qin Ziyan took the first step to pull Lu Xiaoran's thoughts back, "The courtiers also thank the emperor and queen for the marriage on behalf of the little girl." ”

After that, he tugged on Lu Xiaoran's sleeve and asked Lu Xiaoran to salute, Lu Xiaoran calmed down, and knew that this was not the time to make trouble, so he saluted and thanked him.

After the salute, he glared at Lu Xiaoqi viciously, Lu Xiaoqi thought to himself what was the matter with me, so he turned his eyes away and ignored her.

"Lu Xiaoqi, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, the prince's brother would be mine, and I wouldn't have been given to King Chen." Lu Xiaoran thought to himself, clenching his fists and hating Lu Xiaoqi very much.

Lu Xiaoran and Lu Xiaoqi's behavior is being watched by someone at this time. Lu Xiaoqi knew that Lu Xiaoran was glaring at her, but she didn't make a sound, and ate the food in the dishes by herself, as if everyone and everything in this world had nothing to do with me, and no one could stop me from eating.

After eating, he put down his chopsticks and tugged at the corner of Lu Xiuran's clothes, "Brother... Elder brother... Let's go, anyway, now that it's over, there's nothing to do, let's go. Lu Xiaoqi looked at his brother with bright eyes.

"Okay, you wait outside for me first, you go first, I'll ...... later" Lu Xiuran waited for Lu Xiaoqi to leave, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, explained a few words to Lu Qingfeng next to him, and sneaked out.

At this time, Lu Xiaoqi was leaning on the red pillar outside the hall, Lu Xiuran came from behind and touched Lu Xiaoqi's head, and put a fan de shawl on Lu Xiaoqi's body, "It's slightly cold at night, don't freeze, let's go." ”

"Hmm" After speaking, he took his brother and walked towards the palace gate.

Out of the palace gate, "Xiaoqi, where are we going?" ”

"Take you to meet someone, someone you haven't seen in a long, long time but miss a lot." Lu Xiaoqi didn't tell Lu Xiuran who to see directly with a smile in his eyes, and Lu Xiuran's doubts rose.

Lu Xiuran and Lu Xiaoqi got into a carriage that had been prepared outside the palace a long time ago, and drove all the way to the outside of the city.

The carriage ran to a forest in the east of the city, the night was completely dark at this time, the forest was very quiet, and there was not even a bird calling, "Xiaoqi, who are you taking me to meet?" Why did you run out of the city, and why didn't Qiqiao accompany you today? ”

"Brother, don't worry, you'll know later, it's a surprise." Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue and said mischievously.

It didn't take long for Xiaoqi to lift the curtain and take a look, and shouted, "Brother, look, we're here." ”

Lu Xiuran leaned over and looked out of the car, only to see a large lake in front of the woods, and patches of green grass around the lake, with green "small lanterns" hanging on the grass, flying in the dark night.

On this summer night, everything seems hazy and dark, but there are these charming elves in this bush, two or two, three or three, back and forth, sometimes high and sometimes low, so light and agile, so that this summer night no longer feels lonely.

There was a small boat on the shore of the lake that could only carry two or three people, Lu Xiuran got out of the carriage with Lu Xiaoqi at this time, and Lu Xiuran was also pleasantly surprised by this scene.

"Brother, is it good-looking?" Lu Xiaoqi took his brother's hand and walked to the lake, the two got on the boat, Lu Xiaoqi picked up the oar and swung it, and also gave his brother a row to the middle of the lake, Lu Xiuran saw that there seemed to be a looming house on the opposite side of the lake, with a faint candlelight. There seemed to be two people standing on the shore, a man and a woman.

At this time, Lu Xiuran was even more puzzled, who did my sister take me to see?

When you are about to paddle to the shore, "Miss ......"

The person who spoke was Qiqiao, Qiqiao waved his hand, stopped Qiqiao on the shore and pulled Lu Xiaoqi and Lu Xiuran ashore.

As soon as he came ashore, Lu Xiuran didn't see it very really, and the man next to Qiqiao seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't seem to remember it.

"Xiaoqi, Xiu Ran..." The man called Lu Xiuran Lu Xiaoqi's name, Lu Xiuran heard a familiar voice, and thought in his head, "Uncle... This is my uncle's voice... But how could it be..."

"You're... Uncle..."Lu Xiuran asked a little choked.

"Well, Xiu Dye can see you again, uncle is so happy." Su Zehan hugged him excitedly.

"Uncle, let's go in and talk, Xiaoqi is hungry..."Lu Xiaoqi interrupted them, holding his stomach to show that his stomach was protesting and was about to eat.

"Didn't you just eat it, you ate the most." Lu Xiu dyed and debunked.

"Oh, brother, don't you know that Xiaoqi has a big stomach?" Lu Xiaoqi blinked and squeezed out a big smile.

"Okay, okay, you see that your uncle is confused, quick, come in, your uncle will make you dinner." The four of them entered the house, which was a wooden house, the house was quite simple and elegant, and the medicinal fragrance in the courtyard was very good.

Su Zehan went to the kitchen to bring over the hot meals on the stove, and the four dishes and one soup were just right.

"Wow, uncle, it's amazing, and I'm preparing in advance..."

"That's right, I knew you were coming, so I got ready early." Qiqiao handed the dishes and chopsticks to Lu Xiaoqi and Lu Xiuran.

Lu Xiaoqi was not polite at all, sat down and began to eat again.

"Uncle has been fine all these years, I haven't seen my uncle since my mother died, where have you been all these years, uncle?" Lu Xiu's stomach was full of questions.

"Since the death of my sister, I went back to the master to retreat for a few years, not asking about the world, and then the master also passed away, so I went down the mountain to hang the pot to help the world, and never returned to the master since. It happened that I heard that you had returned to Beijing for the high school entrance examination last month, and I thought it was time to meet again. After Su Zehan finished speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Lu Xiaoqi was standing at the door at this time and felt a little sad after listening to what his uncle said, and adjusted his mood, "Uncle, come to drink tea." Lu Xiaoqi picked up the teapot and poured tea, and Qiqiao came with a snack.

"Uncle, I haven't changed in many years, and I'm much more handsome." Hearing this, Su Zehan and Lu Xiuran instantly laughed.
