Chapter 26 I didn’t expect Prince Lu to be a hypocrite
Lu Zedao: "Do you believe what a three-year-old child says? Lingling is talking nonsense. The princess is not willing to marry me yet, so don't propose marriage."
Princess Pingrou was overjoyed and said: "This courtyard should be renovated. Your place is too small and shabby. Since the wedding is not in a hurry, then slowly renovate it and open up the courtyard next door. In the future, Yu Ning can marry here." Now, we can live in a more spacious place.”
Lu Ze said helplessly: "You know this place is in tatters, why didn't you renovate it before?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Can you and Yu Ning be the same?"
"Your Majesty, this hairpin was found on your bed..."
Princess Pingrou saw the hairpin that the servant brought over, looked at it and said, "Isn't this Yu Ning's hairpin? Why is it on your bed?"
Lu Ze took the hairpin and said, "The child picked it up. Go and return it to the princess now."
Lingling took a long nap today and was fussy for a while when she got up, crying for her mother and father to hold her.
Just when Qi Yuning was wondering whether to go to Dali Temple to find Lu Ze, the maid happened to pass a message to Lu Ze asking for an audience, and Qi Yuning even let Lu Ze in.
Lu Ze saw Lingling groaning in Qi Yuning's arms and asked hurriedly: "Is Lingling uncomfortable?"
"Sister-in-law Guyu said that children will have tantrums when they wake up. Lingling should be getting upset."
"Daddy." Lingling threw herself into Lu Ze's arms aggrievedly.
There was no weight in Qi Yuning's arms, and he felt relaxed.
Lu Ze returned the hairpin to Qi Yuning with one hand and said, "Princess, your hairpin."
Qi Yuning took the hairpin and said, "Is Prince Lu finally willing to return it?"
Lu Ze said, "I forgot about it before."
Qi Yuning handed the hairpin to Li Chun who was standing aside, and asked: "I heard from the maid today that Her Highness the Princess went to prepare a betrothal gift with great fanfare. Who is Her Highness going to propose marriage to?"
There are two sons and one daughter in the princess's residence. Lu Yun's little bald donkey is still eating chaffy vegetables in Xianglin Temple, and the princess probably won't propose marriage to Lu Yun at this time. The only one is Lu Ze.
Lu Ze said: "Lingling told my mother that we had promised her to have younger brothers and sisters. My mother misunderstood and wanted to propose marriage. I have stopped her."
Qi Yuning nodded calmly, "Yeah."
……
In Guanfu.
Guan Zhiwei angrily said to Guan Zhiyi who was standing in the hall: "You have always been smart, why are you so confused this time? Then Madam Lu, you just made a loud noise after verbally confirming the marriage. Now our Guan family It has become a laughing stock in Shengjing City!"
Guan Zhiyi lowered his head and said: "If I don't yell out, I really have no chance to enter the Lu family. I have to yell out. The Lu family is worried about reputation, and the Lu family is worried about filial piety. There is still a glimmer of hope."
Guan Zhiwei said angrily: "What hope? Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that the daughter-in-law she asked to marry is not you. Do you have to completely destroy the reputation that our sisters have earned so hard? My brother just married the Taifu family. My granddaughter is talking about marriage, and when you come..."
Guan Zhiyi said: "If I didn't want to marry Prince Lu, how could the eldest brother discuss marriage with the Song family's granddaughter? Although Old Master Song has passed away, the Song family is still beyond the reach of our Guan family. If it weren't for my marriage to Lu Ze, would the Song family even look at us? "
Guan Zhiyi clenched her hands and said, "My sister has been treated well by my mother-in-law these days, and she no longer receives any criticism from my mother-in-law and aunt. Isn't it just because I want to marry Lu Ze? Now my sister is here to scold me. It’s up to me.”
Guan Zhiwei was so angry that he frowned and said: "If you want to climb up to a high school, you have to have a certain attitude. Who is Lu Ze? He is the proud man of heaven that the sisters-in-law of my Xue family don't even dare to dream about. His eldest daughter-in-law is nothing. The princess, princess, and relative must be a noble daughter from a top-notch family, so you should give up your thoughts on Lu Ze as soon as possible and find someone else."
How can Guan Zhiyi be willing to do so, "No, since the first time I saw Lu Ze..."
Guan Zhiwei said angrily: "Then you have to be reborn into a top-notch family, and you have to be the daughter of the first wife!"
After hearing Guan Zhiwei's words, Guan Zhiyi returned to the room with grief and anger, lay down on the desk and cried bitterly.
Is it because she is just a concubine's daughter, so she is destined not to marry a noble son-in-law? Apart from her birth, what makes her worse than those noble girls from aristocratic families?
Aunt Zhu walked into the room and said to Guan Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, my mother is useless. If my mother were not a concubine, you would not be said like this by the eldest lady."
Guan Zhiyi hugged Aunt Zhu and said, "Mom, I am not willing to give in. I really am not willing to give in. I like Prince Lu so much..."
Aunt Zhu touched Guan Zhiyi's head and said, "My child, accept your fate. The Lu family's family is really too high, too high."
Guan Zhiyi said unwillingly: "I want to see Prince Lu, but I'm not willing to give up here." Guan Zhiyi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and planned to meet Lu Ze. She believed that such a gangster like Lu Ze A gentleman will never embarrass her.
On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, there is a tradition of climbing mountains.
The Yamen of Dali Temple has a rest today, and it is Lingling's birthday. Lu Ze made an agreement with Lingling yesterday that he would take Lingling to climb mountains today to enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery of the mountains and forests.
But before leaving the princess's residence, she received news from the Duke's residence. Mrs. Lu also wanted to take her grandchildren to climb up and enjoy the autumn today.
Lu Ze didn't want Lingling to be lost, so he went to the Duke's Mansion and Mrs. Lu to confess.
As soon as Lu Ze entered the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, he saw a short girl with a round face wearing an eggplant-green skirt, which made Mrs. Lu very happy.
Guan Zhi met Mr. Lu who came in through the courtyard gate. His heart was beating fast. He walked up to Lu Ze and saluted, "I have met Mr. Lu before, Zhi Zhi."
Mrs. Lu said to the second wife of the Lu family from the side: "Look, what a wonderful child."
Mrs. Lu Er disagreed in her heart. She really didn't see what was right.
Lu Ze lowered his eyes and glanced at Guan Zhiyi without concealing his disgust, took out a vermilion coral bracelet, saluted Mrs. Lu and said, "Grandma, today is Lingling's birthday. My grandson is unfilial and cannot accompany you." We spent the Double Ninth Festival together, this is a coral bracelet, I will treat it as an apology to my grandson."
Mrs. Lu frowned, looking at the red coral bracelet she felt it was dazzling.
Seeing Mrs. Lu's unhappy expression, Lu Ze sighed softly and bowed to leave, "My grandson is leaving first."
Guan Zhiyi thought about the scene when she and Lu Ze met for the first time many times. She was afraid that she was not good-looking enough, but she also dreamed that Prince Lu would like her small and blessed appearance.
She thought about how Prince Lu was polite when he spoke to Lu Ze for the first time.
But he didn't expect that Lu Ze would dislike her when he first saw her.
In fact, he didn't even bother to say a word to himself.
Guan Zhiyi felt extremely distressed, her eyes were slightly red, "Old madam, Zhiyi will leave first."
Madam Lu was angry that Lu Ze turned around and left, no longer keeping Guan Zhiyi around.
Lu Ze went to Prince Qi's Mansion, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, he heard Guan Zhiyi calling him from behind, "Prince Lu."
Lu Ze turned around and looked at Guan Zhiyi and said, "What's the matter?"
Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips and said: "Prince Lu, Zhiyi has always heard that you are a gangster. Do you, like the rest of the world, only value the family's origins and bloodline?"
With tears in her eyes, Guan Zhiyi said pitifully: "You're going to break off the engagement if you say so. Do you know that for the daughter of the Guan family, breaking off the engagement means she can no longer live. In the past few days, I have been extremely disliked by my eldest sister and aunt!"
Guan Zhiyi bit her lip and said, "How can you betray me like this? Is it just because I am just a daughter of a minor official and a concubine, and she, Qi Yuning, is the princess of Prince Qi?"
Lu Zedao: "No, it's because Princess Qi is an upright person."
Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips and said in a trembling voice: "Prince Lu, do you know that after you break off the engagement, my reputation will be completely lost and I will have no choice but to die?"
Lu Ze said coldly: "Miss Guan's life and death is only related to you and has nothing to do with me."
Guan Zhiyi burst into tears, feeling that everything in front of her eyes was blurry, "Your Majesty, do you really not care about my life or death at all?"
Lu Ze ignored Guan Zhiyi and knocked on the door of Prince Qi's Mansion. The servant of the Prince's Mansion opened the side door and let Lu Ze in.
Guan Zhiyi only felt a little wet on her hands, and when she raised her head, she saw raindrops falling from the sky.
Lu Ze entered the palace, and the palace door was closed heavily. Guan Zhiyi fell weakly in front of the vermilion door of Prince Qi's palace.
It was she who thought highly of Lu Ze, but she didn't expect that the dignified Prince Lu was actually a cold-hearted hypocrite who regarded human life as nothing.
Guan Zhiyi returned to Guan's house in the rain.
As soon as she entered Guan's house, Mrs. Guan hurriedly came forward and said, "Zhiyi, why are you soaked by the rain? Where is the maid next to you?
Mother, I have great news for you. Mrs. Qin Guojiu has come to arrange a marriage between you and the fifth master of the Qin family. The fifth master Qin is the nephew of the empress and the cousin of Prince Lu. This marriage is really a real one. Pie in the sky! "
