What? Lu Bingzhen looked stunned when he heard this, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of his words

If it is said that the East Palace has been idle for a long time, the palace of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has not been repaired, and it is impossible.

As soon as he entered Yichun Garden today, Lu Bingzhen roughly calculated the cost of repairing this garden based on his experience when he was a director of the house before. There is no reason why the East Palace has the silver to repair such a large garden, but there is no silver to repair the palace of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

"Ahem", His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be difficult to say, "Ah Rui, isn't it good for you to live with me in Jinghe Palace?" ”

Thinking of the painful experience of the previous two nights, Lu Bingzhen subconsciously wanted to say that it was not good, but between the ghosts and gods, Lu Bingzhen swallowed this sentence,

The breeze blew, Lu Bingzhen looked at Xiao Min for a long time and quietly, and Xiao Min also looked back at her. For some reason, the atmosphere between the two grew sticky.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice of the frost father-in-law came from not far away. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, dinner has been prepared, but do you want to eat on the ship?"

After hearing the promise of the masters, they brought the same meal to the boat in a small boat. Today's dinner is a lotus feast.

The ears are the lotus wind, the tip of the nose is the lotus fragrance, and in front of you is a small banquet made of lotus roots. This lotus banquet is not expensive, and there are not many dishes, but it is fresh and exquisite.

First of all, two lotus tea, take the best Biluo spring and put it in the lotus bud for two days, wait until the tea is stained with the aroma of lotus and then take it out, at this time use tea to make tea, and there is the fragrance of summer lotus in the tea.

Then there is a dish made of red beans and lotus roots, take the newly grown lotus root at this time, and steam it in a pot with red beans to get the crisp and refreshing red bean powder and delicious taste of lotus root. There are also several dishes such as lotus leaf lotus pod chicken soup, which masks the greasy chicken soup with the fragrance of lotus leaf lotus pod. Dim sum is lotus cake, lotus fruit and so on.

At dusk, Xiao Min urged Lu Bingzhen to go ashore, and his gentle voice always made Lu Bingzhen feel that he was treating him as a child, as if he was worried that her willfulness would hurt him, and he was worried that too much persuasion would bore her. That's why I always persuaded her softly.

When the three dynasties returned to the door, Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen got up early in the morning and prepared to leave. Because the rule of returning to the door is not to stay at my mother's house until the afternoon, and I have to return after lunch.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess's honor guard swaggered all the way to the door of Fan Yanglu's house. Maybe it was the news from the East Palace yesterday, and everyone in the Fanyang Lu family was waiting at home today. From grandfather Lu Zhi to youngest brother Lu Bingxi waiting at the door to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

When he saw his brothers and sisters, parents, uncles and aunts, and even his grandfather and grandmother all saluting him, Lu Bingzhen felt a faint awkwardness in his heart. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a rigid person, and almost immediately called everyone to avoid red tape.

All of a sudden, the guests and hosts were happy, and the monarchs and ministers got along, which was a lively scene.

Since Lu Bingzhen got married that day, Li has been worried about how her daughter will get along with her husband after marriage. Li knows that Ah Rui is smart and intelligent, and she can learn all kinds of things even if she touches them. But there is only one thing that A Rui doesn't know very well, and that is love.

If you talk about this, Li always feels that Ah Rui has seven tricks and six tricks - none of them. She seems to know how to read other people's minds, but it is difficult to find out if others love her.

When she was in Lingzhou, Ah Rui was like this, Xiao Langjun who came to show her love finally mustered up the courage to say it, but she asked him who he was blankly, and after listening to the explanation, she would persuade Xiao Langjun not to beautify her because of the good name of the outside world. In the end, it is often Xiao Langjun who is ashamed and angry to leave.

After seeing his daughter say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refreshingly, he walked towards him happily, without the slightest reluctance to the newly married Yan'er's husband, Li only felt that his head began to hurt.

In the main courtyard, the Li family retreated left and right, and pulled Lu Bingzhen to ask about the marriage. Even for mothers and daughters, there are some things that are a little awkward to ask. After a while, Li asked in a hurry.

"Ah Rui, how are you doing in the East Palace after marrying Your Highness?" Just this sentence has exhausted all the courage of the Li family.

Blinking blankly, Lu Bingzhen replied thoughtfully, "Hmm······ His Royal Highness has been very good to me, and His Majesty, the Queen, and the Imperial Grandmother have never embarrassed me, and Princess Guangde has not been embarrassed either. Life in the East Palace······ Hmm······ It's all good, nothing bad.

The matter of the bed is what Li wants to ask the most, and she can't ask the most, she can see the marks on her daughter's neck between her actions and know that the two must have had a round house, but her daughter is still young, and too many things hurt her body. Li also needs to brew a thing or two before he can tell his daughter in detail.

But before the Li family could speak, someone from outside the courtyard came to report, "Madam, the old patriarch asked me to invite Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to Yuanshan Hall." ”

Lu Bingzhen was not surprised by this. However, she saw that her mother Li seemed to be speechless, so she did not rush to leave immediately, but looked at her mother with encouraging eyes. In the end, Li found that he couldn't speak at all, so he could only let Ah Rui go to Yuanshan Hall first in frustration, leaving only the ice and snow melting, ready to tell the two of them and then the two of them would convey it.

In the Yuanshan Hall, Lu Zhi and Lu Bingzhen's ancestors and grandchildren sat quietly opposite each other under the corridor, neither of them was in a hurry to speak, and each held a cup of tea and sipped.

After a long time, Lu Zhi finally couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in speaking. He didn't seem to care much and said casually, "Ah Rui, it's been a few days since you married into the East Palace, how do you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acting?" ”

After thinking silently for a long time, Lu Bingzhen slowly spoke, "I see that everyone in the East Palace has banned His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no one who dares to disobey His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, and even a little dissuasion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very wary of us and other families, and never allows me and my dowry to meddle in the affairs of the East Palace. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi frowned, he married his most proud granddaughter into the East Palace as the crown princess, not to cultivate a favorite concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince, he wanted Ah Rui to be a highness the crown princess who could control the East Palace in the harem, and even influence His Royal Highness the prince to make decisions in the court.

In the past few days, Lu Zhi has also heard about His Royal Highness the Prince's many maintenance of A Rui, but according to his granddaughter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may really have some affection for A Rui, but his defense of the Lu family is even to the extent that he does not want the Crown Princess to take care of the East Palace. From this point of view, the step of A Rui marrying into the East Palace is almost a waste of chess.

Unless Ah Rui gives birth to an heir for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and Ah Rui's child can be made the crown prince after ascending the throne again, the Fan Yang Lu family's pressure on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not benefit him at all except for bringing countless troubles to himself.

And all this is something that Lu Zhi and even the entire Fanyang Lu family can't accept.

Lu Zhi's thoughts were surging, and he didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wanted to exclude the Fan Yang Lu family, or if he wanted to use this matter to knock the Fan Yang Lu family. Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knew the reason for King Beidi's cooperation with him, and knew about Lu Yun, the daughter of the Lu family, and began to be suspicious of the Fan Yang Lu family.

That's right, Lu Yun, as the regent of Beidi, almost didn't make any splash after entering Beijing. Of course, there is a reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sang all the way and killed Hulu Khan, which shocked the government and the opposition. But it may not be because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is scheming to suppress the Queen Mother of Beidi Regent and even the Fan Yang Lu family.

The more Lu Zhi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he rarely regretted it.

If he had known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like a god and could rush thousands of miles to kill Hulu Khan without much effort, Lu Zhi would not have used his daughter Lu Yun's power so rashly. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won a great victory on his own, the Lu family not only failed to take advantage of this matter to show favor to His Royal Highness the Prince, but was suspected by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he really lost his wife and soldiers.

Thinking about how to deal with this matter, Lu Zhi heard that his granddaughter seemed to remember something again, and continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite self-dictating, and he often can't be controlled by others. Perhaps the Lu family can only take the path of wide and continuous, scheming and less decision, in order to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Sighing, Lu Zhi thought that he might withdraw from the court and give up his position to his sons when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne. Because of this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has a knot in his heart for the Fan Yang Lu family, and even if he eliminates the knot in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart, it will leave a suspicious lead in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart.

At present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs to rely on the Fan Yang Lu family, and he can still endure the Fan Yang Lu family. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can show his strength after ascending the throne, he can only be interested in this old bone, and he will abdicate and make way for Xian before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer bear it.

Fortunately, his son Lu Qi has always been innocent, and when he is an official, he will be conscientious and love the people like a son, and his personality is also lenient and constant, and he is scheming and decisive. Perhaps after stepping down as an old bone, Lu Qi can maintain a bit of friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and also get along with the monarch and the minister.

As for whether his granddaughter was telling the truth, Lu Zhi had no doubts. The granddaughter A Rui is very intelligent, and since she can be sure, it must be true. The possibility of his granddaughter cheating on him, Lu Zhi never thought about it. This is completely unnecessary, and now she, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was born in the Fan Yang Lu family, and the Fan Yang Lu family are grasshoppers tied to the same boat.

The homecoming banquet ended in the minds of each of them. Just after noon, Lu Bingzhen and Xiao Min sat on the honor guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and left Fanyang Lu's house all the way back to the East Palace.

For a few days, Lu Bingzhen didn't have a good rest, and even though he was going back to his parents' house today, he couldn't avoid socializing. As soon as Lu Bingzhen returned to the East Palace, he went back to the palace sleepily to rest. Xiao Min didn't follow, he hadn't discussed with his subordinate officials and staff for a few days, and now seeing that Lu Bingzhen was so sleepy, he ordered Fushuang to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Princess well and went to discuss the matter.

In the evening, Xiao Min still came to accompany Lu Bingzhen to dinner as if nothing happened, and his gentle and smiling appearance did not show the ruthlessness when discussing with the staff and subordinate officials in the afternoon.
