The two talked about other courtyard layouts, and as they talked, they talked about Lu Bingzhen's recent homework. When it came to familiarity, Lu Bingzhen half-truthfully complained about the lessons of the four grandmothers.

"Years ago, my mother began to teach me all kinds of things to be in charge of the middle feed, all kinds of utensils, recipes, seats, and even the intricate relationships between the various families in Beijing. Now my grandmothers teach me more complex things than my mothers teach, which is much more troublesome than disaster relief. ”

When the words disaster relief and running a school blurted out, Lu Bingzhen's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that this was not what the noble daughter of the family should do, and he could not say it in front of the prince.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show the slightest surprise as if he had known about this, but comforted her with a light smile.

"Ah Rui, you can deal with one or two of these things, after entering the palace, there are naturally all kinds of people willing to help you deal with these things, you just need to choose the palace people who meet your eyes." What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not explain was that he had already helped her find the candidates to deal with these matters, and only after she entered the palace, he would choose the candidates from among them and give grace to these people.

When he came back from Leyou Yuan on that day, His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been fulfilling his long-cherished wish for many years, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and finally got up directly to arrange all kinds of things for Lu Bingzhen in the East Palace in the future, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to his henchmen, until the sky was white, and he barely calmed down.

For this, Lu Bingzhen naturally will not believe it all. The danger in the East Palace will not be much less than that in the Harem, and when the time comes, Fan Yanglu's family will be far away outside the palace, and the only thing she can rely on is herself.

When the sun was setting in the west today, Lu Bingzhen only felt that he seemed to be familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unconsciously.

Before leaving, Lu Bingzhen asked Xiao Min with some curiosity why Pei Jian didn't follow him today. Xiao Min didn't want Lu Bingzhen to know about Pei Jian's words and deeds before, so he just took the matter with an understatement of "There are other things to tell him to do".

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Lu Bingzhen to the carriage, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Ah Rui, you are still the daughter of the boudoir now, and you have just been married, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes in Beijing are staring at you, but I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to act." If there is anything you want to do, you can ask Mama Feng to summon me, and it will be more convenient for the East Palace. ”

Lu Bingzhen nodded, and asked uncertainly, "Your Highness, what kind of things can be summoned to you?" Xiao Min smiled slightly, "Lone's promise to Ah Rui is naturally everything. ”

I don't know if Lu Bingzhen believes it, but Mama Feng didn't receive Lu Bingzhen's summons.

Since then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never sent anyone to pick her up. Even on the day of the birthday, even on the day of the birthday, I just sent someone to send a birthday gift that conforms to the etiquette system.

All of a sudden, it was rumored in Beijing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no intention of the nine ladies of the Lu family, but it was only because of the emperor's head that he had this marriage. The previous cares were just for the emperor and queen to see, and now that the marriage has been given for less than a month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't pretend anymore.

As soon as this rumor came out, many people in Beijing secretly laughed at Lu Bingzhen behind their backs.

In the past, Lu Bingzhen was a leading figure among the nobles of the family. Most of the noble women in the elite circle questioned her fame, and the representative figure was Rongde County Jun Chi Weiyan, the daughter of the eldest princess of Ruyang, who relied on her mother to be the only sibling sister of His Majesty today, and was infatuated with the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for many years, but Lu Bingzhen robbed her of the crown princess in less than half a year after returning to Beijing.

lost both the title of the crown princess and the cousin of his sweetheart, which made how could Chi Weiyan, the monarch of Rongde County, not hate Lu Bingzhen. Now that she saw that Lu Bingzhen was disgusted by the prince's cousin before she got married, how could she miss the birthday banquet, a good opportunity to laugh at Lu Bingzhen in person.

As for other people who are also nobles of the family, there are many people who can't get used to Lu Bingzhen. Some people feel that Lu Bingzhende is not worthy of the position and is not worthy of being called a noble lady of the family. There are also some people who are not used to seeing Lu Bingzhen marrying into the royal family as a daughter of a family, and feel that this is a loss of face to the royal family.

Of course, there are also people who have a more neutral attitude towards Lu Bingzhen, neither hate her nor like her daughters of powerful families and family daughters, but among the many boudoir girls who hate her, they will not offend others for Lu Bingzhen.

Therefore, the atmosphere of this birthday banquet was not very warm at the beginning, and not many people even went to talk to today's protagonist Lu Bingzhen, only the five ladies of the Lu family, the sixth lady and the seventh lady were with Lu Bingzhen, and the five ladies of the Lu family also quit and went to feed the fish in the pavilion halfway.

It wasn't until the little ladies of the Taiyuan royal family came to congratulate Lu Bingzhen on his birthday that such a scene was broken.

The marriage between Lu Bingzhen and Wang Jian that has not yet been announced to the public has turned into a bubble, which makes Lu Bingzhen always feel a little embarrassed when facing the little ladies of the Wang family, especially Wang Jian's sibling sister Wang Family's five ladies, but the upbringing of the daughter of the family makes her smile and calmly entertain each other.

The fifth lady of the Wang family didn't seem to have so much mustard, she affectionately held Lu Bingzhen's arm, congratulated her on her happy birthday softly, and gave her the birthday gift she prepared. Lu Bingzhen was a little surprised by her familiar and intimate attitude, after all, the two hadn't even had much contact before.

Lu Bingzhen originally wanted to lead the noble ladies and ladies present to go to the garden for a walk, but he didn't expect Junchi Weiyan of Rongde County to be so uncontrollable, and even opened his mouth to mock, "I don't want to go to see the garden of Fanyang Lu's family, even the imperial garden I said I was used to seeing it." ”

"What Rongde County Jun said is that you grew up in the palace since you were a child, and you don't even look at the garden of Zhenyuan Houfu, how can you look down on the garden of Fan Yang Lu's family." The words of the fifth lady of the Wang family seem to be echoed, but in fact, it is a satire that Chi Weiyan, the monarch of Rongde County, is bent on clinging to the royal family, and even looks down on the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion where his father is located, and it is even more ironic that Chi Weiyan is just an empty shelf of a county monarch, without the support of his father.

Hearing this, Jun Chi Weiyan of Rongde County had a pale and pale face, "You ······", she looked at the five ladies of the Wang family and wanted to make trouble. She hated others mentioning her father's early death the most, but she didn't expect a group of powerful people and daughters of the family to speak for the five ladies of the Wang family, which made her momentum instantly drop by half.

"Who doesn't know your mind? One by one, they are pretending to be good people here. Chi Weiyan glanced at the group of noble girls in front of her hatefully, knowing that they all fell in love with Wang Jian, the elder brother of the fifth lady of the Wang family, so she spoke for the fifth lady of the Wang family.

Wang Jian, like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is the dream of countless boudoir girls in Beijing, and even because Wang Jian has a gentle temperament and treats people amiably, many little ladies regard him as a wishful husband. At present, Wang Jian has never been engaged, and these noble ladies feel that they still have a chance, how can they offend the five ladies of the Wang family at this time.

With the relief of the five ladies of the Wang family, the next birthday banquet went a lot smoother. Even if the nobles are looking at the face of the five ladies of the Wang family, at least they are willing to participate in various activities organized by Lu Bingzhen, and the sixth lady of the Lu family and the seventh lady of the Lu family help Lu Bingzhen, and at least at the end of the day, they can at least get along with each other on the surface.

After the feast, all the ladies said goodbye and left. The five ladies of the Wang family were coquettish and asked Lu Bingzhen to send her, thinking of the fact that the five ladies of the Wang family stood up for themselves at the banquet today, Lu Bingzhen asked people to send the sixth lady of the Lu family and the seventh lady of the Lu family back to the house first.

And Lu Bingzhen walked through the verandah with the five ladies of the Wang family and walked out of the door. The two walked around the corridor, and Lu Bingzhen saw a familiar figure outside the second gate, and heard the fifth lady of the Wang family beside him happily calling, "Seventh brother." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiaqilang raised his handsome and gentle face, "Fifth sister, I'm sorry for you." Lu Bingzhen reacted at this time, where did the five ladies of the Wang family want her to send each other, obviously they wanted to create an opportunity for her to meet Wang Jian.

At this time, in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the music in his hand uneasy. The power of the East Palace, which has been secretly developed for many years, has long made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital with his hands and eyes, how could he not know that Lu Bingzhen has been subjected to all kinds of ridicule recently, especially today is Lu Bingzhen's birthday.

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, everyone knows the truth that "the son of a daughter can't sit down", but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even show his face at the birthday banquet of the future crown princess, which was enough to make the future crown princess secretly ridiculed by everyone in Beijing for many years.

After the incident of the last military stick, Pei Jian had already known the status of the crown princess in the heart of His Royal Highness the prince, and he was also separated from the two of them. At present, Pei Jian saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was uneasy, so he proposed, "Your Highness, you might as well go to the Lu family." ”

Wen Cheng on the side didn't seem to hear this, but in fact, he had already secretly raised his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in a cold tone, "No need, let them misunderstand that Gu was only chosen as the crown princess for the prestige and power of the Fan Yang Lu family." ”

Pei Jian was at a loss, but Wen Cheng heard a bit of danger in these words, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with the previous dynasty?" ”

"Change?" Xiao Min pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and sneered, "According to the news from the Heart Cultivation Palace, His Majesty seems to be intent on letting Gu go to the Imperial Expedition in person. ”

What!

Pei Jian and Wen Cheng were both shocked, now the country is not stable, and there are rebellions from time to time, all because the founding emperor died prematurely, and His Majesty is now too young to take the throne and cannot convince people.

And there is a precedent for His Majesty to drive the conquest. At that time, His Majesty had been on the throne for several years, and in order to revive the prestige of the royal family and to gain a firm foothold in the court, His Majesty chose the most risky method when the western barbarians were in turmoil, that is, to drive the imperial conquest in person.

If His Majesty succeeds in that royal expedition, he may really be able to shock the world and win several years of stability for the Ji Dynasty. Unfortunately, the expedition was a big gamble, and His Majesty was not the lucky winner.
