Chapter 11: Fireworks Night

How did Wen Cheng know that in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fan Yang, the Lu family and Lu Bingzhen had already rejected him completely and completely, but he was decisive in everything, but he was indecisive in this matter and was unwilling to give up this hopeless relationship, so it was inevitable that he would be forward-looking and backward in his actions.

Xiao Min stared at the elegant and vulgar girl in front of her for a long time, she was sitting quietly by the window at this time, holding a hot tea and sipping it, while the night outside the window was blank.

"Jiuniang, Lone doesn't know what Wang Jian said to you, but what Wang Jian can do, Lone can do. Even so, don't you want to enter the East Palace? ”

The impact of this sentence was too great, so that Lu Bingzhen's first reaction was to refute Xiao Min's first half of the sentence, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you can't do this." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Min sighed in his heart, although he didn't know what Wang Jian said specifically, but it seemed that the marriage between the Taiyuan Wang family and the Fan Yang Lu family was a foregone conclusion. is also, the right family, the parents' orders, and the concubine's intentions, it is strange that this marriage does not come true.

Lu Bingzhen hesitated and continued, "As for ......"

The sound of fireworks suddenly resounded in the night sky, and even if her words dissipated into the air, Xiao Min looked back at her with a feeling, only to see Lu Bingzhen's tangled and shocked expression.

It turned out that the riot on the street because of the lantern fire had long since stopped, and fortunately this was near the Yuyu Building, which was the neighborhood where the prince was located. The Praetorian Guards paid special attention to this place, so that they could stop the riot in the effort of two teas.

Maybe the sound of the fireworks was too loud, but at some point, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also walked to the window, and both of them watched the whole fireworks in silence.

The sound of knocking on the door twice sounded, and it was Pei Jian who came back.

"Your Highness, someone from the Fanyang Lu family has come to pick up the Nine Niangzi."

Xiao Min raised his voice and said, "Got it", then turned to Lu Bingzhen and said, "Go back." ”

When the words came to his lips, he was interrupted by fireworks, and he didn't have the courage to continue. Lu Bingzhen bowed, "The courtier retired, thank you Your Highness for tonight's incident." ”

Xiao Min turned his back and motioned for her to leave.

Outside the Yuyu Building, the sisters of the Lu family had already gathered here, just waiting for Lu Bingzhen to return and go home. Lu Liuniang and Lu Qiniang were very enthusiastic to ask if Lu Bingzhen was injured, and Lu Wuniang only showed a little disgust for Lu Bingzhen in her eyes as if she didn't know anything.

Lu Bingzhen didn't have the heart to speak at the moment, and she was shocked by the words of the two one after another today, and she only felt that her brain was messed up. She smiled reluctantly and boarded the car to go home with her sisters.

What Lu Bingzhen didn't know was that after she saluted and left, Xiao Min stared at her carriage in front of the window for a long time, until her carriage disappeared around the corner of the street.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely showed a little loneliness, Pei Jian couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, this Lu family's nine ladies are not a good match. She saw the Wang family Qilang first, and then came to see you, neither side was offended or pleased, she was a young lady from an innocent family, in fact, she was not hanging at both ends. ”

Xiao Min looked back at him, the fragility of loneliness had long faded in his eyes, and at this time, the slaughter in his eyes coldly and clearly told Pei Jian that he was the prince of this empire, and he was in a high position, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could take people's lives with a single order.

Pei Jian lowered his head in embarrassment, and heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say with undoubted coldness in his tone, "She didn't give Gu any explicit or implicit, but Gu forced her to see her tonight." If you criticize Jiu Niangzi again, you can go to the Xishan camp to be a man, and you don't have to stay in the East Palace. ”

Cold sweat slid down his back, Pei Jian sneered coldly, gritted his teeth to stop his trembling and replied, "My subordinates understand." After that, Pei Jian trembled and retreated to arrange the carriage for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the palace.

Wen Cheng realized that he was the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and when he saw this, he opened his mouth to persuade, "Your Highness, why should you be like this, Pei Jian is also upset for you." ”

Xiao Min sneered and said in a rather mocking tone, "The fourth generation and three princes of the Fanyang Lu family, do you know what this means? ”

Wen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xiao Min say calmly, "It means that even if Lu Jiu Niangzi raises her face after getting married, no one dares to say anything, as long as she doesn't confuse her husband's bloodline, her husband's family will still provide for her." Not to mention that I met several Langjun on the night of Shangyuan. The atmosphere of the family has always been open, which makes the Lu family know that they will only think that their little lady is liked. ”

Hearing this, Wen Cheng only reprimanded Pei Jian as His Royal Highness the Prince, so that he would not be attacked by his friends above the Lu family in front of the Lu family, but he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mutter, "So the Lu family will not marry a daughter into the East Palace, and Lu Jiu Niangzi will not be willing to marry into the royal family, she will not like the royal life."

She is not greedy for the powerful and prefers freedom, and Wang Jian will be released from Beijing in the near future, presumably she will be willing to go out with Wang Jian to live a free life. ”

For a while, Wen Cheng's mood was full of twists and turns, and he didn't know what to say at all. He thought that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was blinded by the love between men and women, His Royal Highness the Prince's next sentence suddenly became serious. When he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had regained his composure and scheming, His Royal Highness the Prince's longing would come out of his hand again.

After arriving home, Lu Bingxin returned to Liuchunwu with a heavy heart, and she didn't let people publicize the fact that the lanterns were gone. only said that he was around the lantern stall at the time, and casually entered the Jade Mansion to avoid chaos, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read that she was the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family and did not ask anyone to drive her out.

But the Li family and Lu Qi couldn't hide it, and Onyx, as the most powerful maid by the Li family's side, would naturally report the matter to the Li family. And Onyx also knows the queen's thoughts, and it is impossible to hide it.

Onyx instructed Bing Cutting and Melting Snow to serve Jiu Niangzi to rest, and did not forget to stare at Jiu Niangzi after drinking a whole bowl of shocking medicinal tea before leaving.

Lu Bingzhen had a lot of things to do, but he didn't know anything about cutting ice and melting snow that didn't go out with her tonight, so he didn't know where to start, so he could only sleep silently. This night, Lu Bingzhen tossed and turned, and only fell asleep groggily when the sky fell bright.

As for Li and Lu Qi, after hearing the report from Onyx, they were also quite incredible. Lu Qi made people shut up as soon as possible, lest his father Lu Zhi marry his daughter A Rui into the East Palace as a bargaining chip after knowing about it.

Li said in disbelief, "Isn't it the queen's intention to want A Rui to enter the East Palace?" Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also step in to save people? Ah Rui and the crown prince only met once when they were children, I remember that time was quite unpleasant, how can it seem that His Royal Highness the crown prince is interested in Ah Rui? ”

Lu Qi's focus was different, he frowned and said, "The prince is just that, after all, he also saved Ah Rui once." What's going on with this Wang Family Shichiro? said that he asked the royal family guards to follow, but Ah Rui was almost caught by the fire. This burning wound is not a trivial matter. ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and for the first time found that it was also a troublesome thing for their daughter to be raised too well and too likable, and they tossed and turned overnight, lest their daughter, who had grown up pampered, would enter the East Palace.

But no matter how much headache it takes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved his daughter, and Lu Qi and his wife can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. On the second day, the Li family opened the treasury and arranged for someone to send a thank you gift to the East Palace. It doesn't matter whether the East Palace accepts it or not, it is important to express gratitude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It is said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the Li family was packing up the thank-you gifts, and Wang Jian came to the door with all kinds of utensils that the little lady liked to make amends.

In the side hall, Li sat at the top position, and Wang Jian sat at the bottom of the ceremony. "It's really the fault of the younger generation, I didn't take care of Jiuniang that day, and I almost hurt Jiuniang."

"You kid is too yourself, what does this have to do with you? It was just an accident. Li was also very afraid, lest the lanterns that day hurt Lu Bingzhen.

But for Wang Jian, Li couldn't say words of reproach. After all, the relatives are a match, and the other party also asked the guards to follow carefully, which can be regarded as in place.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Wang Jian saw that the Li family was entangled in affairs, so he asked for his farewell in a timely manner. Li didn't keep it, but just asked people to prepare gifts to send him out.

At this time, in Liuchunwu, Lu Bing was really flipping through the Di Bao, but this time she was no longer reading the whole article, but specifically reading the content related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Min.

It took two or three days for Lu Bingzhen to read all the newspapers related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past three years.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position seems to be stable, but in fact it is already shaky. His Majesty seems to be intent on changing the crown prince, why do you want to do so? Is it just because he is old that he is jealous of the young prince? But His Royal Highness the Prince's words and deeds clearly have the image of a Ming Jun. ”

After all, it is the prince and His Majesty, Lu Bingzhen lowered his voice and muttered, and even Rongxue, who was serving in front of him, did not hear her words clearly.

Thinking of the young boy he met when he was a child in the palace and was still a little naΓ―ve, Lu Bingzhen couldn't help but sigh that time is sometimes a knife for carving good weapons.

The autumn of the fifth year of Yonghui. Lu Qi was exiled to Lingzhou, and before leaving Beijing, Lu Qi and his wife wanted to enter the palace to thank the emperor.

The Li family brought their four-year-old daughter Lu Bingzhen into the palace at that time, and the queen mother was very kind to a lady like Li who was born in a family and married into a family, and beckoned her confidant to take Lu Bingzhen to play in the garden.

There, Lu Bingzhen met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time.

At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still a naughty young child. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is only six years old, does not yet understand the preciousness of life, but he has already grasped the right to decide the life and death of others.

"It's a terrible thing." Lu Bingzhen thought so when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forcing the maid and eunuch to climb to the top of a tall tree just to help him take off a kite.

Lu Bingzhen, who was also pampered by his family, stopped him, "This tree is so high, if you climb it and accidentally fall down, it will kill you." ”

Xiao Min didn't care about the words of this little lady who looked short at all, until this little lady pulled his sleeve, he found that he really couldn't move, and when she dragged him to the hall, he realized that this little lady's strength was so big that it was wrong.
