Chapter 2 Lu Jiuniang

Unlike those hard-mouthed noblewomen, the queen mother and all the noble ladies secretly admitted in their hearts that this Lu family Jiuniang was really a wonderful character.

The appearance is delicate and elegant, and if you add a point of beauty, you will be charming, and if you increase your elegance, you will be cold; Manners are generous without losing arrogance, minus one point of generosity is frivolous, and minus one point of arrogance is cramped. The key is that everyone knows the scene surrounded by the nobles of the right talents, and they are so calm and do not lose everyone's example, and they are worthy of being known as the leading figures among the nobles of the family.

The reversal of the identity made the queen mother speechless for a while, she didn't know what to say, she wanted to give away the mutton fat white jade bracelet and was worried that it would be like Lu Bingzhen picking up something that Lu Binghui didn't want, and there was only one sentence in the end, "Jiu Niangzi is really likable, but people don't know what to reward." ”

When Lu Bingzhen heard this, he took the painting that Cutting Bing was holding, respectfully and closely, and replied with a smile, "The courtiers heard that the maiden was also a master of calligraphy and painting, so it is better to reward the courtiers with a pair of inscriptions." As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At present, there are only two generations of dynasties, and the emperor also has to rely on the families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. And the Fanyang Lu family, under the leadership of the old patriarch Lu Zhi over the years, has a faint tendency to be the leader of the century-old family, and the royal family naturally values the Fanyang Lu family even more. At today's palace banquet, Li's mother and daughter have always been the focus of attention, everyone is careful to flatter, and even the queen is very kind to them.

It's just that who would have thought that the five mothers of the Lu family would actually rely on vague words to make them misunderstand the identities of the two. At present, the people who have offended Jiuniang of the Lu family dare not hold grudges against Jiuniang, and only itch the teeth of Wuniang's hatred.

Seeing that Lu Bing Allah moved to hand over the steps, how could the queen mother not agree. The embroidered heart held the pen and ink, and the queen mother waved the twelve words "the veins and flowers are sparse, the clouds come and go, and the snow is counted", and was rewarded to Lu Bingzhen.

At the banquet that followed, everyone was undecided. The noble lady who ridiculed Lu Bingzhen was uneasy, and she didn't know how to explain to the lord of the family, for fear of being reprimanded, and she was worried that the queen would look down on her daughter because of this matter. The noble lady who was watching from afar was secretly planning in her heart, not knowing whether her son and nephew could marry Lu Bingzhen, the daughter of the family.

And this scene is being seen by the two people on the tall building in the distance.

"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang has invited almost all the noble daughters of the family with outstanding prestige and status in Beijing today, do you have a selected candidate for the crown princess?" The person who spoke was the companion of the prince Xiao Min, and his maternal cousin Wen Cheng.

Xiao Min put down the clairvoyance in his hand, didn't answer, just smiled lightly, "Look at it." Don't look at the banquet more than halfway, the daughter of the Ling family and the eldest princess of Ruyang will definitely suffer, then the Lu family's Jiuniang is not as good-tempered as she seems. Xiao Min remembered that Mrs. Lu took Lu Bingzhen into the palace ten years ago to thank her, and when she thought about it, she only felt a faint pain in her arm.

Wen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince why he knew from a distance that the girl who was squeezed was Jiuniang of the Lu family, and he didn't understand why His Royal Highness was so sure that Lu Jiuniang refused to give up. Obviously, from her face to her clothes, Lu Jiuniang looks gentle and amiable, and she even took the initiative to give the queen a step. But when he looked at it, he didn't find any commotion in the Fanghua Hall.

As soon as the embroidered heart banquet in the Fanghua Hall ended, she appeared on the tall building, and she curtsied and saluted, "Slaves and maids participate in His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Wen." Niangniang ordered the slave and maid to come, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose the crown princess today? ”

Xiao Min raised his eyebrows and arched his hand, "Please also ask Sister Xiuxin to tell the queen mother, the marriage in this palace is up to the queen mother." Xiuxin knew that this master who had grown up had a lot of ideas, and he meant that all the nobles in the Fanghua Hall today could be, but he knew that His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite person was in the hall but refused to speak out.

However, Wen Cheng was quite curious about what was going on in the Fanghua Hall, he had been friends with the prince for many years, and he knew that the prince was not missing. Therefore, Wen Cheng was even more curious about what Jiuniang of the Lu family could do, "Aunt Xiuxin, I wonder if you can tell Xia Guan if anything unusual happened in the Fanghua Hall today?" ”

Xiuxin has nothing to hide from Wen Zheng, who has always been close to his masters, and tells the truth. "There was nothing to do at today's banquet, but before leaving, the two little ladies were drenched in snow for some reason. It stands to reason that the snowflakes on the branches in the plum garden have been swept away, and there is not much snow, and the little ladies do not have much strength to play, so it shouldn't be like this. ”

Xiuxin was very puzzled, she had seen the appearance of the two little ladies at all, it didn't look like they were wet in the snow at all, but more like they were rolling on the snow. The head was covered with snowflakes, and the snot and tears that were frozen in the cold days came out, but I was embarrassed. Wen Cheng couldn't help but look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in surprise when he heard this.

Xiao Min couldn't help laughing, and when the two of them seemed to hold back, no matter how suspicious they were, they didn't say anything more.

Xiao Min secretly said in his heart, "The strength of these little ladies raised in the boudoir is indeed not great, but the Jiuniang of the Lu family is an exception. She entered the palace with her mother ten years ago, and when she wanted to push her away, she grabbed my arm and didn't let go, and she was not her opponent when she practiced martial arts, where was this delicate little lady her opponent. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Min also wondered why Lu Jiuniang could have such divine power. She is just a noble girl raised in the deep boudoir, born in a high-ranking family, and the servants around her are like clouds, so it stands to reason that she should be a weak female streamer who can't lift her hands and shoulders.

The facts were indeed as Xiao Min expected, Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan were soaked by the snow, and it was Lu Bingzhen's doing. After the banquet, the queen mother sent a message to ask all the little ladies to go to the plum garden to fold a plum blossom and take it home to enjoy the fun, Lu Bingzhen happened to see Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan hiding behind the rockery and whispering when Lu Bingzhen chose the plum blossom.

At that time, Lu Bingzhen looked around and saw the thick snow covered by the bamboo forest, and the snow bent the bamboo, which was hanging dangerously above the heads of the two at the moment. With a move in his heart, Lu Bingzhen walked under the bamboo forest and shook the bamboo branches. The thick bamboo branches that are difficult for ordinary people to shake are as light as a pen in Lu Bingzhen's hands.

In this way, the two of them were directly drenched by the snow splitting their heads and covering their faces. And Lu Bingzhen didn't forget to sweep the footprints on the snow with bamboo branches after leaving, which made the two of them suffer a dumb loss. Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan insisted that it was Lu Bingzhen who did it, but none of the people around believed it. Even the mothers of the two told them to shut up and not to climb the Lu family's Jiuniang anymore. The two were angry and aggrieved, and they fell ill after they went back.

After the palace banquet, Lu Bingzhen and his mother shared a car, and Lu Binghui was sent to another car. Li asked his daughter in a low voice, "Ah Rui, were you wronged at the palace banquet today?" There are many nobles in Beijing, who are high and low. When he said this, Li's face was slightly angry, and Lu Bingzhen looked at his mother with a gentle expression, just smiling and comforting his mother.

Li sighed, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Ah Rui is not a calculating temperament, she does not deny that she has already acquiesced. Li has never understood how his daughter developed this temperament. Which of the nobles who are favored by the nobles from a big family is not arrogant and arrogant, let alone endure such a thing as replacing their identities today.

A Rui should obviously be the proudest girl in the world, in terms of family background, appearance, poetry and books, etiquette are top-notch, but she is a non-caring character. When she was a child, her cousins snatched her jewelry and playthings, and she gave them with a smile. When she grew up, her cousin simply dared to take her place, and she could still comfort her mother calmly.

Li also felt a headache when she saw this overly sensible and polite daughter, and she didn't care about the harmless little jokes between the children, but Ah Rui is fourteen years old this year, and it is time to say goodbye. Is it when she marries and has children, Ah Rui doesn't care about her aunt and concubine fighting for her status and glory.

Lu Bingzhen looked at her mother's worried eyes and didn't know how to say this, she really didn't feel wronged. She was pampered since she was a child, and she had several large boxes of jewelry, and she didn't even know she had these jewelry until her cousins turned them out. She thought that she would leave with her parents anyway, and the things would accumulate dust when they were put away, so she would give them away.

And today, whether it is Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan, or Lu Binghui, they have not benefited. Lu Bingzhen really felt that he had returned it, so he didn't need to care too much. What Lu Bingzhen didn't know was that the more she was like this, the more her parents felt that she had been wronged, so they doubled the compensation to her, but let her go the family group pet route crookedly.

As for Lu Binghui's behavior today, it is completely a trick of the daughter of a small family who has never seen the world, and the noble ladies present are all human spirits, and they don't scatter eagles if they don't see rabbits. Even if they misunderstood that Lu Binghui was Jiuniang, they would not be hired rashly, and naturally they would know the true identities of the two sooner or later.

In the evening, Lu Qi returned home and was shocked to see the darkness in the house. After calling the maid to light the lamp, as soon as Lu Qi entered the house, he saw his wife Li sitting on the couch with a tired face, and her face had not even completely washed off her makeup. "Anniang, what's wrong with you? Could it be that something has changed at today's palace banquet? ”

Li's maiden name is Li Yi'an, and she has a very close relationship with her husband, and Lu Qi has always called her by her maiden name in private. Her eyes were tired, and she only signaled to tell the maid who went to the palace banquet about Lu Binghui. Lu Qi was shocked when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect this niece to have such thoughts.

At today's banquet, Ah Rui was shrewd and calm, and was not frightened by the aggressiveness of those noble girls. But what if Rui panicked for a moment? I took Wu Niang to the banquet, but I brought out chaos to harm my daughter. Wu Niang can think about whether her cousin will be treated coldly and humiliated at the palace banquet today? My daughter, who was pampered in the palm of her hand, was blocked in the corner today and forced to ask. ”

The more Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally dropped the teacup in his hand. Lu Qi's face was also ugly when he heard this. The younger brother died early, the younger brother-in-law remarried, and the niece was an orphan girl, of course, Lu Qi had to take care of it. But this does not mean that he can tolerate someone who cheating on his daughter or even taking over his daughter's identity.
