Chapter Seventy-Four: Returning to the door for a banquet on the third day, Lu Gongzi was preoccupied

On the third day of the wedding, Li Sishen and Lu Xuantang returned to Ning hand in hand, and before leaving the house, the two of them changed into their home clothes, prepared gifts and planned to get into the carriage, Li Sishen was suddenly stopped by the guards cliff.

"Master, please wait a minute! My subordinate has something to say to you. ”

Li Sishen instructed Sister Xuan to wait for her in the carriage for a while, and come when she goes. Lu Xuantang nodded in agreement, and Li Sishen turned around and returned to the mansion.

The guard cliff told her that His Royal Highness brought the princess to visit the door today, and he was inconvenient to disturb, but he needed to tell His Highness some of the circumstances he had investigated. Speaking of this, Li Sishen felt that the next cliff to tell her was related to the Lu Mansion.

"Cliff, let's go back to the hall to speak. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Sishen's intuition was right, and the cliff said to her that Dong Shangshu recently wanted to recruit the princess's brother Lu Yunzhi to join his camp. Lu Yunzhi did not agree immediately, and his attitude was ambiguous. He was worried that if Dong Shangshu succeeded in winning over, it might be detrimental to his master.

"A few days after His Royal Highness got married, Dong Shangshu began to be restless......"

Hearing the cliff's words, Li Sishen was thoughtful. Since she and Lu Xuantang really became a "husband and wife" in the fake play, the actions of the officials of the Dong faction have become more and more frequent. Lu Yunzhi and the Dong family have generations there, and if Dong Shangshu wants to expand his power, he must first consider the people around him. Although Lu Yunzhi is also an official in the imperial court, he is conscientious and never takes the initiative to participate in the court dispute, which is rare among the ministers.

"Master, my subordinates think that Lord Lu is neutral and impartial. Dong Shangshu dug him up, like a tiger with wings. It's better for us to get the moon first near the water, and seize the opportunity to return to the door this time......"

"Could it be that you want Your Highness to ......?"

The cliff expressed his thoughts, and the master could take advantage of Guining to probe the bottom of Lu Yunzhi, and if he could become the help of His Highness, it would naturally be the best.

Li Sishen understood what he meant, and as a "husband", it would be beneficial for her to be helped by her mother's family. But Lu Yunzhi is not a good person to get along with, as can be seen from his position of neutralizing the two factions of the court...... If you want to convince him not to pay some price, it is difficult to win Lu Yunzhi's trust. Thinking of this, Li Sishen said to the cliff that she would think deeply about it.

Immediately, Li Sishen got into the carriage and left the mansion to go to the Lu Mansion to worship the door.

"Sister Xuan'er is in a hurry?" The two people sitting in the carriage, Li Sishen spoke first.

"No, was it the guard cliff that called Qing'er back just now?" Lu Xuantang shook his head slightly.

"Yes, he told me that the officials of the Dong faction have been restless again recently, and Dong Shangshu intends to recruit Brother Lu to join his camp. ”

"What? And this kind of thing? But I haven't seen Uncle Dong have any contact with my brother before! Why did I get in touch all of a sudden? I still want to win over my brother......

"Oh?" Lu Xuantang saw that Li Sishen was puzzled, so he told her in a nutshell about Uncle Dong's relationship with their family. After listening to Sister Xuan'er's description, Li Sishen understood a lot in his heart.

"So that's the case, since they are all officials in the court, according to what you said, why doesn't Brother Ling work with Lord Dong?"

"Qing'er...... In fact, my brother disdains to be with Uncle Dong, and knows that he will inevitably be harmed by him after being with him for a long time. Therefore, he has never been too involved in court disputes. ”

While chatting with Lu Xuantang, the carriage stopped in front of the Lu Mansion.

"Your Highness, the Lu Mansion has arrived. The coachman reminded through the curtain, and Li Sishen and Lu Xuantang also stopped the topic.

"Good work, ma'am, let's get out of the carriage now!"

Li Sishen opened the curtain and jumped down from the carriage, and Lu Xuantang also stretched out his hand to hold Li Sishen.

Mrs. Lu learned that today was the day of her daughter's return, so she arranged for the servants to clean the courtyard early, and she and Lu Yunzhi went out to greet them. After getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Lu saw that Sister Xuan'er had a ruddy face and was in good spirits, and greeted them with a smile as the "husband and wife" entered the mansion.

Li Sishen presented the gift to Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu received the heavy return gift, and saw that she had behaved appropriately from entering the mansion to the present, and she was very satisfied with this uncle.

The Lu family held a banquet to entertain the new son-in-law. Full of wine and food, the two did not leave immediately, and chatted with the Lu family for a while.

During the chat, take a break. Li Sishen proposed to Mrs. Lu that she wanted to go to the garden for a walk, and Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement when she heard her uncle say this.

"Oh yes, the more I look at it, the more satisfied I get...... Now Sister Xuan can be regarded as the right person!"

"The stone in Madame's heart has finally landed, and in the future, Sister Xuan will have a husband who loves her, and the life of the young couple will be harmonious and beautiful!"

Mrs. Lu's grandmother echoed on the side, and Mrs. Lu watched Li Sishen's back disappear into the garden, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little.

Lu Yunzhi observed his words and saw Li Sishen leave the seat, and left the seat while others were not paying attention. Li Sishen walked in the secluded garden, breathing the fresh air in the forest, and the whole person instantly relaxed a lot.

窸窸窣窣窣......

Huh, someone is following her?

Knowing that someone was following behind him, he glanced back slightly and glanced at the corner of the person's clothes and guessed who it was. Just when Li Sishen was about to return the same way, Lu Yunzhi decided not to follow anymore and appeared directly in front of her to block Li Sishen's way.

"It's my uncle......"

When Lu Yunzhi heard Li Sishen's uncle, he subconsciously frowned. The sixth prince was so familiar that he hadn't even spoken, she ...... Do you want to be close to yourself?

looked at Lu Yunzhi's expression with a hint of embarrassment, and touched the back of his head. Tsk, could it be that His Highness's closeness made him embarrassed? However, he really looks like a big boy who doesn't know the world!

"Ahem......"

Li Sishen stopped, not avoiding his gaze. Pretending to be surprised, he asked, "I didn't expect my eldest brother to appear here, is it a coincidence?"

"Your Highness, you ......"

I've called him uncle, and no one in private calls me the two of us, and they still care about my identity like that...... Shouldn't it be a brother-in-law?

Lu Yun's heart was heavy, he always felt that the sixth prince in front of him seemed to be hiding something, on the surface, she and her sister Sister Xuan respected each other like guests, but ...... Does she really look as calm as she seems? Lu Yunzhi decided to probe the tone of the Six Princes on the grounds that Dong Shangshu had recently intended to woo him. Li Sishen heard Lu Yunzhi's temptation, and also said that he hoped that Lu Yunzhi would consider whether to become her help.

"Your Highness, there is no good thing in the sky that will drop pies. If you want to get benefits from me, shouldn't you be sincere?"

The eldest brother in front of him is still a master who refuses to suffer!

"How does my eldest brother want His Highness to show goodwill?"

"Well...... this"

Lu Yunzhi said that if he could become the help of His Highness, he would not be able to give something. There is no opportunity to cooperate in vain, and he will only consider it if he is honest with each other. Li Si deeply understood this, and the six princes also said to him about cooperation, so he would naturally express his sincerity. But she herself also has to make sure that Lu Yunzhi does not hurt people behind her back, and does not leak important information to others. Hearing Li Sishen's words, Lu Yunzhi felt that what she was going to say next might be some important secret. However, Li Sishen did not tell him the identity of his daughter in exchange for conditions, but used Lu Yun's heart as a bargaining chip.

Li Sishen said to him that it was rumored that she, the sixth prince, was suspected of breaking his sleeves with the son of the Chu family, but it was actually a misunderstanding. After hearing this, Lu Yunzhi was skeptical.

"My sister met His Royal Highness and Prince Chu on the street before, and when she came back, she immediately changed her attitude at the party, and you didn't want to marry...... What's going on?"

Li Sishen was slightly stunned when he heard him talk about this stubble. She didn't expect that there would be this thing after Sister Xuan went back that day, Li Sishen told Lu Yunzhi that she didn't know why Sister Xuan was so contrasting. Seeing that Li Sishen's face was sincere, not like lying, Lu Yunzhi no longer pursued the suspicion that she and Gongzi Chu had broken their sleeves. Men, when they marry a wife, they will always take care of themselves and make money to support their families. Hearing the explanation of the sixth prince himself, he also let go of Li Sishen's heart. He believed Li Sishen, and then Lu Yunzhi walked in and made a gesture towards her.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, my uncle ...... We are all relatives and a family, should we also change our words to be called brother-in-law of His Royal Highness?"

"Your Royal Highness, the ancient saying that the number of etiquette cannot be abolished, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority......"

This Lu Yunzhi ...... Seeing that he refused to change his words, Li Sishen did not continue to be reluctant. It's just a joke, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it.

After that, the two chatted for a while. Li Sishen also figured out Lu Yunzhi's temper, knowing that he was actually a person who valued his reputation very much in his bones, and he was also quite sensitive to untrue gossip.

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Sister Xuan'er, who was sitting in the carriage, told Li Sishen about how she had talked with her brother? Li Sishen told Lu Yunzhi that she was suspected of breaking her sleeves with Chu Gongzi in person, and Sister Xuan confirmed again and again after listening to it.

"Is that all Qing'er and my brother talk to......? Are you a daughter?"

Li Sishen saw her say those three words, and gently raised his index finger and put it on Sister Xuan'er's lips. She told Sister Xuan that after all, it was the first time she had talked to Lu Yunzhi, and she didn't dare to make a bet on such an important matter, so she took a risk. Therefore, it was decided to throw stones to ask for directions, and see how Lu Yunzhi reacted with the rumors that she and Gongzi Chu had broken their sleeves. Lu Xuantang smiled slightly when he heard her words.

"In this way, my brother is quite concerned about the rumors between you and Master Chu!" Li Sishen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
