Lu Baozhu heard the word eunuch and said angrily: "Qi Yuning!" Qi Yuning chuckled softly: "Does the Lu family lack your maid or your mother-in-law? The maid can do those things, so why let the husband do it." Lu Baozhu sighed: "You don't understand, you all say that I am heartless, but I understand better than anyone else that our Lu family's wealth is because our grandfather is still here, so our family can have supreme glory. But I fled Shengjing in despair a few months ago, and I knew that one day I might lose this immense wealth... I want a husband who doesn't care about my identity, but only cares about me as a person, and can be as good to me and take care of me as my personal maid. " Qi Yuning said: "Originally, finding a husband for you would be difficult enough to pass the imperial examination, but now it's much more difficult to hear your request than to pass the imperial examination." Lu Baozhu put her hands on her chin and said: "Forget it, when Lu Yun wanted to marry you last time, didn't my brother not get married? Lu Baohua is getting married. As a sister, it's okay for me to have an undecided marriage, but it's just that someone It’s just a joke for a few days.” Qi Yuning said: "Last time, Lu Yun married your brother before him because your brother had a bright future. He could choose the girls from the noble families in the capital, and he was not in a hurry to marry. You are different... " Lu Baozhu snorted coldly, "Humph! Why is it different? I, Lu Baozhu, tell me, there will definitely be a long queue of people who want to marry me, but I don't like those people who are interested in my status as the princess. I want to find I need to find a man who treats me sincerely." "Then I wish you find your right husband as soon as possible."
…… In the Duke's Mansion of Lu State. At five o'clock in the morning, Lu Ze sent someone to convey the news that at noon, the main palace had come to announce the decree of marriage. Mrs. Lu did not dare to neglect, even spread the loess, sprinkled water, and changed into ceremonial clothes. The Second Madam Lu went straight to Madam Lu's courtyard and said, "Mother, it's such a happy event. Ze'er sent someone to spread the news that a chamberlain will come at noon to deliver the marriage decree." Liu Qingqing, who was taking care of Mrs. Lu, said with a smile: "Congratulations to my aunt, congratulations to my aunt. After cousin Baohua became the concubine of King Xu, she is one step closer to the position of crown princess." Second Madam Lu said: "Qingqing can't talk nonsense." Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "This is not Qingqing's nonsense. Now His Majesty only has three sons left in Shengjing City. The eldest, King Xu, has a group of literati, who are the most suitable for the crown prince... Our ancestors bless us. The Lu family can finally feel proud." Madam Lu Er thought to herself that the Lu family had never been unable to breathe. In Shengjing City, apart from the Qi family, they are the Lu family and the Qin family. Now that the Qin family has fallen, the Lu family has long been married to the Qi family. It is considered a top family. How can it finally be so proud?
It's just that Mrs. Lu has been suppressed by Princess Pingrou for more than 20 years. If the Lu family can have a queen, they no longer have to worry about Princess Pingrou. Mrs. Lu Er thought about how Lu Baohua had shed tears for the past two days. How could she not feel uncomfortable as a mother? But Mrs. Lu had already decided what she could do, so what could she do?
What's more, that is indeed a great honor. Mrs. Lu was in high spirits during happy events. She put on the clothes of her destined wife, as if her serious illness had disappeared, and asked Liu Qingqing to help her to the door of Lu's house, waiting for the arrival of the imperial edict. As soon as Mrs. Lu arrived at the door, she saw Lu Baohua coming with a smile on his face and holding a child. After seeing the child's appearance clearly, Mrs. Lu was filled with anger. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Lingling running behind. "Auntie, mother!" Qi Yuning saw Mrs. Lu who was about to attack, picked up Lingling and said, "You're not being bullied, are you?" Lingling said: "No! Second aunt said that the imperial edict is coming, so let Lingling come and receive the edict." Mrs. Lu looked at Qi Yuning and Lingling with an unkind look, and said, "Today is a happy day for the Lu family, so we won't care about others." "The imperial edict has arrived!" Mrs. Lu knelt down in great joy. "The emperor's edict is issued by Heaven: Lu Baohua, the second daughter of Duke Lu's family, is talented, beautiful, intelligent, virtuous, and virtuous. Zhong Ming, the son of General Long Wei, is brave, good at fighting, and loyal. She is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and is destined to be married to her. , choose a day to get married."
As soon as the imperial edict was read out, Lu Baohua took it with both hands with a smile and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." After seeing off the officials who announced the edict, Mrs. Lu stayed on the spot and even snatched the imperial edict from Lu Baohua's hand, "How could he be the son of some general? Is it a mistake? The Zhong family, shouldn't it be King Xu? ?” Lu Baohua looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "Grandma, it's the Zhong family. I went to the palace yesterday to ask for the imperial edict." When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was so angry that she slapped Lu Baohua hard, "You, you shameless thing!" "How can you hit my second aunt?! Lingling hates you!" Lingling was very anxious when she saw Lu Baohua being beaten. Lu Baozhu walked up to Lu Baohua and asked, "Are you okay?" Lu Baohua shook his head and said, "It's okay." Mrs. Lu was so angry that she felt dizzy. Liu Qingqing, who was standing beside her, supported her and said, "Auntie, are you okay?" Mrs. Lu said: "I am going to be pissed to death by this unfilial and evil girl!" Mrs. Lu looked directly at Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu: "You have raised a good daughter! You are so capable. You can even get a marriage decree with your hands and eyes!" Second Master Lu said helplessly: "Mother, Your Majesty has already issued an order..." Mrs. Lu was extremely angry. Mrs. Lu Er stepped forward and saw the red mark on Lu Baohua's face. She hated Mrs. Lu, but she didn't dare to say anything wrong, so she had to say to Lu Baohua, "Baohua, let's go back to the room first." Lingling waved her little fist at Mrs. Lu in Qi Yuning's arms and said, "Lingling wants to avenge the second aunt. Fight her back because she bullied the second aunt!" It was impossible for Qi Yuning to really let Lingling go to Mrs. Lu for revenge, so he just hugged Lingling and said nothing. When Mrs. Lu heard Lingling's words, she glared at Qi Yuning and said, "It's you, isn't it? Aren't all the generals starting with the word "dragon" under your Qi family? What intention do you have to harm my granddaughter? What's wrong with you? Are you so vicious as to ruin Baohua's bright future?" Lu Baohua stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Grandma, who is harming me? Princess Qi never has any intention of harming me." Mrs. Lu was very angry, "According to your opinion, am I harming you?" Lu Baozhu said angrily: "Who else is harming Baohua if you aren't you? Don't you know that King Xu is my uncle? He is fifteen years older than Baohua. If he had given birth to children two years earlier, maybe the children would be the same as Baohua. It’s as big as Baohua!” Liu Qingqing helped Mrs. Lu and said repeatedly: "Cousin Baozhu, please stop saying a few words. Auntie, I will help you back to your room first." Mrs. Lu was so angry that she couldn't even walk steadily. She still glared at Qi Yuning. Mrs. Lu patted Liu Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing is still the most filial and well-behaved. I will marry you wherever you are. If you don’t feel at ease, why not just marry Ze’er as your concubine, and I can rest assured.” Liu Qingqing was slightly surprised, "Great aunt." Mrs. Lu patted Liu Qingqing's hand and said, "Don't worry, even though I am a concubine, I can't wrong you. Your cousin Ze's character, appearance and future are among the best among men. It's not a loss for you to be his concubine."
