Chapter Forty-Nine: King Yujun
Lu Yuning returned to Linglong Pavilion and rested for a while, recuperated her spirits, and asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to help her dress up again, change into a lotus-colored high-waisted skirt, and after seeing that the time was almost up, she took Qingzhi to Cheng'an Palace.
On the way from Linglong Pavilion to Cheng'an Palace, you must pass through the Imperial Garden, and because of today's palace banquet, there are really many people in the Imperial Garden at this time.
From a distance, Lu Yuning saw the women and royal relatives in the imperial garden who gathered in twos and threes to talk.
It's just that among these people, there are no old ladies of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion Lin and Hou Lady Chang, and they may have gone to Zhaoyang Palace.
Lu Yuning retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, but he felt that a gaze fell on him like substance.
Lu Yuning turned her head to look, and saw a strange man staring at her. The man was about forty years old, with a fat head and big ears, wearing a dark purple python robe, holding a big belly, and his small eyes were almost invisible by a fat face.
Lu Yuning couldn't help frowning.
Qingzhi and Qingdai saw Lu Yuning frowning, and looked at Lu Yuning's line of sight, just in time to see the person smiling at Lu Yuning, but how bad intentions were to look at that smile.
Qing Dai glared at him viciously, wanting to make the person rein in, but the man didn't seem to see it, and his eyes still fell on Lu Yuning.
Lu Yuning endured the discomfort in her heart, let herself ignore that gaze, and continued to walk forward with Qingzhi and Qingdai.
After walking a few steps, Qingzhi turned her head to look at it, and saw that the man had actually raised his feet and walked in their direction.
Qingzhi hurriedly reminded Lu Yuning in a low voice: "Master, he seems to be coming towards us." ”
Lu Yuning didn't look back, and saw Qu Cai and Zhou Cai not far in front, and took two steps to catch up with the two.
"Sister Qu, Zhou Cairen."
Although Zhou Cairen is just a talented person, she is the palace elected by Mingde in the second year, and she is twenty-three years old this year, seven years older than Lu Yuning. Because she is not favored, her position has not been promoted over the years, according to the rules in the palace, although it is appropriate for Lu Yuning to call her a sister, but Zhou Cairen is inevitably embarrassed, it is better to call Zhou Cairen to come.
Qu Cai and Zhou Cairen stopped when they heard the sound, and saluted Lu Yuning, "Sister Lu/Lu Meiren." ”
Zhou Cairen really didn't call Sister Lu Yuning.
Lu Yuning smiled at the two of them and said, "Sister Qu and Zhou Cairen are also going to Cheng'an Palace, right?" I'll be with you. ”
Qu Cai and Zhou Cai naturally agreed, so the three of them took the palace people to Cheng'an Palace together.
Qingzhi followed Lu Yuning and looked behind without a trace, and saw that the person was not far behind them, and her heart became uneasy, not knowing what that person was trying to do.
When they arrived at Cheng'an Palace, Lu Yuning and several people were led to their positions by the palace people, which was also a coincidence, Lu Yuning, Zhou Cairen, and Qu Cairen were in similar positions, and the seats were also arranged together.
Lu Yuning and the others sat down for a while, and the man behind them also walked in, after sitting down, he first looked around the hall, and when he saw Lu Yuning, his eyes lit up, and from time to time he glanced in the direction of Lu Yuning, which made Lu Yuning very irritable, and his face couldn't help but show a little disgust.
Zhou Cairen, who was sitting with Lu Yuning, saw the disgusted expression that flashed on Lu Yuning's face, pondered for a moment, leaned over to Lu Yuning's side, and whispered to Lu Yuning: "Lu Meiren knows King Yujun?" ”
Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "I don't know, why did Zhou Cairen say this?" ”
She really didn't know King Yujun, but when she saw that person in the imperial garden, she guessed that person was King Yujun from the person's dress and age.
Zhou Cairen was not surprised by Lu Yuning's answer, she smiled and said: "I saw that Lu Meiren glanced at King Yujun just now, and her eyes were very disgusted, and I would show such a look when Lu Meiren knew King Yujun." ”
Lu Yuning did not hide his dislike for King Yujun, and said: "It turns out that he is King Yujun, I don't know who he is, I just think his behavior of looking around is very annoying." ”
Zhou Cairen nodded, "Indeed, there may be no more disgusting person in the entire capital than King Yujun, but he has obviously done all the disgusting things, and those who have been victimized can only consider themselves unlucky because of his identity." ”
The strong hatred for King Yujun in Zhou Cairen's words made Lu Yuning very surprised, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Cairen.
Zhou Cairen smiled at Lu Yuning and said, "Don't you understand why I said that?" ”
After asking, without waiting for Lu Yuning to answer, Zhou Cairen said to himself: "I am the youngest daughter in the family, and I have a sister who is a sibling mother, twelve years older than me, with a soft personality and beautiful appearance......
When Lu Yuning heard this, she suddenly remembered that the first princess of King Yujun seemed to be surnamed Zhou, could it be said that she was Zhou Cairen's sister?
The first princess of Yujun Wang, Zhou, died of illness eight years ago, and within three months of Zhou's death, Yujun Wang married his stepfamily Zhang, but this Zhang married into Yujun's palace only six years ago.
After the Zhang family was gone, King Yujun always wanted to marry again, but few people were willing to marry him anymore, so he would find the Queen Mother before, and the concubine would threaten her with a continuation for King Yujun.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuning's resentment towards the concubine added a little more.
Zhou Cairen continued, "My sister was originally married, and her fiancé is the son of my father's colleague, and my sister and I are in love, if the two can get married, they will definitely be able to get along and be happy." ”
"But unfortunately, when my sister was sixteen, her fiancé's mother died of illness, so her fiancé had to mourn for his mother for three years, and the two families could only postpone the marriage and prepare to wait for my sister's fiancé to mourn for her mother before holding the marriage."
"My sister has been waiting for more than two years, and I see that I can marry the person I like in half a year, and I don't want the king of Yujun to go to our Quanling County to play, and I accidentally saw my sister, and I was immediately shocked, and I came to ask my father to marry, and my father rejected his proposal on the grounds that my sister had already been married."
"King Yujun was unwilling to give up, after his father refused him, he actually found someone to kidnap his sister, and after the plan failed, he went directly back to Beijing to ask for a marriage decree."
Her father is just a small county order, and refusing King Yujun's proposal to marry is already the limit of what he can do, King Yujun took the marriage decree to marry his sister, where did their family dare to resist the decree?
Because of this holy decree, her sister couldn't even ask for death, and once her sister died, their family would be finished.
So her sister could only marry into the county king's mansion in tears, if only in this way, she would not hate Yujun Wang, the hateful Yujun Wang Qiang married her sister but was not good to her sister.
