Chapter 375: Do You Want to Be My Mother?
Princess Huaying beckoned Lu Wanzhi to enter and said, "The marriage of the second sister has finally been decided, and it is the grandson of Taishi Xia's family who has been decided."
Lu Wanzhi said, "Isn't the grandson of Master Xia's family still a little child? I remember the last time I saw him, he wasn't as tall as my shoulders, and he was much smaller than Lu Baoying, right?"
Hua Ying smiled and said, "Taishi Xia's grandson will be seventeen years old after the New Year, you must have seen him when he was still young."
Lu Wanzhi said, "It's true that I haven't seen him for five or six years, but I didn't expect him to become my brother-in-law."
Lu Wanzhi and Hua Ying entered together, and inside, Lu Baoying was looking at the New Year's gift sent by the Xia family, blushing in the face of Lu Yunxuan's joke.
When Lu Yunxuan saw Lu Wanzhi returning, she smiled and said, "Sister!"
Lu Wanzhi walked to Lu Yunxuan's side and said, "I heard the two of you laughing from afar, this is ......
Lu Yunxuan said with a smile: "This is a New Year's gift from the Xia family to the second sister, and their marriage has been decided, just in February next year."
Lu Wanzhi saw Lu Baoying's shy expression and said, "How did you make a marriage with the youngest grandson of the Xia family?"
Lu Baoying said: "Some time ago, he fell into the lake, I rescued him, he didn't say that men and women should be responsible for me, so he decided to do so."
Lu Wanzhi said, "Do you like him?"
If it weren't for Lu Wanzhi to ask, this little grandson of the Xia family is five years younger than Lu Baoying, this Lu Baoying's temperament is not acceptable to a child, and the rules of the Xia family are no less than the rules of their Lu family.
Lu Baoying said, "What do you like or dislike? I'm so old, and the people I introduced before are all widowers, or they are poor scholars who want to use the power of the Lu family to enter the court, and finally there is a young man who doesn't dislike my age and reputation......
Lu Yunxuan said: "I think Xia Yubing is very good-looking, good-looking, he entered the Yamen of Dali Temple at a young age, he is only seventeen years old, although he was introduced to the Yamen of Dali Temple by His Royal Highness the Great Prince."
Lu Wanzhi said slowly, "Dali Temple? Gu Shiyu's subordinates?"
When Lu Baoying heard Gu Shiyu's three words, her expression was a little unnatural, "Oh, what do you do with him?"
Lu Wanzhi always felt that this matter was not simple, but her sister set up a family affair, and Lu Wanzhi was also happy.
Lu Wanzhi looked at Lu Yunxuan and said, "What about you? I thought that you and Meng Ao had made a family decision, but we were afraid that it would not be good for us to come back to drink the wedding wine, so why haven't we decided on a family affair at this time?"
Lu Yunxuan saw that Princess Huaying had left without knowing when, so she told Lu Wanzhi the truth: "I was going to settle the family affair, but Princess Huaying ......."
Lu Wanzhi said, "What does this have to do with the princess?"
"Sister, you don't know about it in San'in, isn't this the eldest princess going to the house? Hua Ying's sister-in-law thought that the eldest princess would become a monk only if she had our eldest brother in her heart.
In the past year, Hua Ying's sister-in-law has been arguing with her eldest brother many times to reconcile and leave, and she has also entered the palace to ask for a decree, and she and her eldest brother have not had sex together for almost a year......"
Lu Yunxuan lowered her voice and said, "My mother wants me and Meng Ao's family affairs to be slowed down, and I'm afraid that after getting married, I won't be so comfortable at home, so I can delay it for a few days."
Lu Wanzhi sighed, "Alas."
The emotional entanglement between the four of them doesn't know when it's a head.
At night, the Lu family held a family banquet, everyone had a lively meal, and when they returned to the palace, Cheng'er and Yue'er were reluctant to leave the Lu mansion, so they coaxed the two of them to go back to the palace.
Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng had just arrived at the Chu Palace, and Gu Xianqi went out to greet them, "Cousin, sister-in-law, are you two back?"
Zhao Heng frowned when he saw Gu Xianqi and said, "Gu Xianqi, since Zhizhi and I have returned, my father will be taken care of by the two of us, you better go home as soon as possible, the unmarried girl has been staying in someone else's mansion, do you still want to get married?"
Gu Xianqi said: "Sister-in-law is pregnant, and you are not a person who can take care of people, so it is better for me to stay and take care of my uncle."
Zhao Heng frowned lightly and said, "I wanted to save some face for you, Gu Xianqi, let me tell you, I will only have one princess Zhizhi in my life, and there will be no other side concubines and concubines, even if you stay in the Chu Palace, I won't look at you squarely!"
Lu Wanzhi heard Zhao Heng's words and pulled Zhao Heng's sleeve.
Zhao Heng said, "Zhizhi, don't be too kind, there is no need to give face to this kind of shameless cousin."
Zhao Heng didn't want Lu Wanzhi to misunderstand him.
Gu Xianqi said repeatedly, "Cousin, you misunderstood, I never wanted to be your side concubine."
Zhao Heng said: "This king doesn't believe it, you don't want to be my side concubine, what are you doing in the palace of the king of Chu? Do you want to be my daddy's princess?"
Gu Xianqi smiled lightly at Zhao Heng and said, "Cousin is really wise."
Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng's face under the light, from shock to disbelief to anger and said, "I treat you as a sister, do you want to be my mother? Bah, are you still a little polite and honest? That old man is your little uncle!"
Gu Xianqi said: "My little aunt died before I was born, and it is already a love to keep filial piety for my wife for three years, cousin, you don't want the prince to die alone for the rest of his life, right?"
Lu Wanzhi saw that Zhao Heng's face was not good, and held Zhao Heng's hand and said, "Zhao Heng, this matter is the meaning of the Queen Mother."
Zhao Heng frowned, returned to the room with a dark face, and then said to Lu Wanzhi: "It's not that I don't allow him to marry me a little stepmother, I have long been prepared to have a stepmother younger than me, but shouldn't he marry the daughter of the Gu family?" What is this? What is my mother knowing in the spirit of heaven?"
"No, I'm going to him!"
Zhao Heng angrily went to the main courtyard of the King of Chu, and Lu Wanzhi also chased after him, but she was still pregnant in the cold this day, where could she catch up with Zhao Heng's pace, Lu Wanzhi turned around and went to find Gu Xianqi.
Zhao Heng ignored the obstruction of the little maids in the courtyard of the King of Chu, pushed the door and entered, "I will never agree to you marrying Gu Xianqi as my stepmother!"
King Chu said, "Heng'er, what nonsense are you talking about? That Xian Qi stayed in the palace for you, because it was your aunt and uncle's will, even if I am sorry for Wanzhi, I can't care about your mother's face......
Zhao Heng said: "Gu Xianqi is also the daughter of Gu Hou's Mansion, how can she be willing to be my concubine? What she wants is the position of Princess Chu, and her aunt and grandmother know about it, so I'm afraid that she will announce the marriage."
The King of Chu said with a shocked face: "I won't marry again, after Jiarou leaves, my heart is already dead, Princess Chu only has Jiarou alone, and there will be no one else."
Gu Xianqi, who was outside the door, looked at the King of Chu inside and said, "Lord Wang, my aunt has been gone for twenty years, and she has been gone for twenty years!" Can't you just let go of your aunt? I don't think my aunt wants you to go down alone forever."
King Chu looked at Gu Xianqi, who had tears in his eyes in front of him, and instructed Lu Wanzhi, "Wanzhi, you have someone to send her back to the mansion, and send her back now."
Gu Xianqi said with tears on her face: "Lord Wang......"
Lu Wanzhi saw Gu Xianqi's face full of tears, but she couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward to help Gu Xianqi and said, "Sister, go back first."
Gu Xianqi followed Lu Wanzhi to the garden, and cried bitterly, "Why? I like him so much, I've been taking care of him all this year, why?"
Lu Wanzhi asked Gu Xianqi, "Do you like King Chu?"
"I like it, King Chu is the most infatuated person in Chang'an, he is willing to guard for my aunt for twenty years, such a loving man, I liked him at first sight, even if he is so much older than me."
Lu Wanzhi handed the handkerchief in his hand to Gu Xianqi and said: "But the prince's affection is only given to Princess Chu alone, and he won't give you a penny, if he marries you, it will just ruin that affection, Sister Xianqi, you are still young, you will meet the person who has a deep affection for you, go back."
Gu Xianqi said, "I never thought that he would be so ruthless to me."
Lu Wanzhi said slowly: "Because the only affection of the King of Chu has already been given to others."
