Chapter 49 Marrying into the princess’s mansion is just around the corner In the Yamen of Dali Temple, Lu Ze only felt that his colleagues looked at him strangely today.
He Siqing, who was about to retire, stroked his long gray beard, patted Lu Ze's shoulder, and said seriously:
"There is no grass anywhere in the world. Lu Shaoqing has a bright future and he will be the Duke of the country in the future. There is no need to haggard like this for a woman."
Lu Ze raised his eyes and said: "Master He, just this once, I will never be haggard for women in the future."
From then on, he never made Qi Yuning unhappy at night, either staying up late composing or staying up late painting.
As soon as Lu Ze said these words, he felt that the eyes of his colleagues looked at him with even more sympathy.
He Siqing sighed, "There are quite a few other beautiful women in the world."
Lu Ze said softly: "But I have never seen a girl more beautiful than her."
There are many beauties in Shengjing, but Lu Ze still thinks Qi Yuning is the most beautiful. In his heart, there is no one more beautiful than Qi Yuning in the world.
There are probably not many people in Shengjing City who dare to compare themselves to Qi Yuning's beauty.
He Siqing and other colleagues had never seen Miss Guan Liu. In the past, they had only heard that Miss Guan Liu had a virtuous reputation, but not that she had good looks.
If she is a beautiful woman, she will not let her reputation overwhelm her.
After all, human nature is superficial.
Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder for Prince Lu? Lu Ze and He Siqing chatted for a long time. The old Siqing still felt sorry for the young man and said to Lu Ze, "Hey, you should go to the office early today."
"Thank you, Mr. He."
……
Qi Yuning's legs and feet were inconvenient, but it did not prevent her from listening to the rumors at all.
However, today the maid has not come to report the rumors, but Lu Baozhu came in angrily.
"Qi Yuning, do you think my elder brother is crazy? Today there are rumors that he is so haggard because of Guan Zhiyi. Is Guan Zhiyi so good?"
"Didn't he clearly say that he will only marry you and never Guan Zhiyi in this life? Why are you so depressed because of Guan Zhiyi?"
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Baozhu, "Are you still drunk?"
Lu Baozhu said: "I have sobered up a long time ago. People are saying that my eldest brother was snatched away by my fifth cousin because of Guan Zhiyi. In the morning, he looked very bad and his eyes were dark."
Qi Yuning smiled slightly and said, "The painting he made last night probably took at least five hours to paint. He probably stayed up all night and never slept."
Lu Baozhu asked in confusion: "What?"
Qi Yuning said: "Your brother is depressed because he made a painting for me last night, not because of Guan Zhiyi. Don't believe the rumors outside."
Lu Baozhu realized: "No wonder, I just said that my brother was not willing to marry Guan Zhiyi before, so I have to go and clarify."
Qi Yuning pulled Lu Baozhu and said, "How do you clarify? You said that Lu Ze was depressed because he painted for me all night? You should stop talking nonsense outside."
Lu Baozhu said: "If you don't tell me, don't tell me. I took Lingling to play on the swing in my courtyard."
Qi Yuning let Jingzhe and Gu Yu follow Lingling to play at the princess mansion next door, and told Lu Baozhu, "Don't play too crazy."
Lu Baozhu said: "I know."
After Lingling left, Qi Yuning handled official matters more efficiently.
When I first arrived at Shenshi, I had already processed the letters from Prince Qi's Mansion to merchants in various places, and checked all the account books.
Hearing the noise outside, Qi Yuning thought it was Lingling who had returned, but it was Lu Ze who came in wearing a purple official robe.
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and asked, "Why is the Crown Prince here?"
Lu Ze said slowly: "I promised Lingling this morning that I would come to see her in the lower office. Where is she?"
"Lu Baozhu took her to play." Qi Yuning said, "The prince has come just in time. Please add my brother to this painting." Lu Ze said, "I forgot what Brother Qi Wang looked like when he was a child."
Qi Yuning gave up the desk and said, "Just draw one based on my brother's face now."
Lu Ze took up his pen and added little Qi Yu'an on the rice paper. Qi Yuning saw that the position Lu Ze drew was exactly the same as the position pointed by Lingling.
When Lu Ze painted little Qi Yuan, he was very perfunctory. After a quarter of an hour, he finished the painting. Lu Ze looked back and saw Qi Yuning staring at him.
The two people's eyes intertwined, and for a moment, both of them felt that their breathing was particularly clear.
Lingling's voice came from outside, and the two people's intertwined eyes separated.
"Father, mother!"
Lingling trotted in, "Mom, we are all bad! Lingling is scared to see bad people!"
Lu Ze held Lingling in his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
It took a long time for Guyu and Jingzhe to catch up, along with Lu Baozhu who came in a hurry.
"Lingling, why are you running away? Isn't he the prince's uncle? Why are you afraid of the prince's uncle? You have to call him uncle!"
"That's a bad person!" Lingling Lou tightened his grip on Lu Ze's neck, "He's not my uncle! Don't see bad people."
Qi Yuning said to Lu Baozhu: "His Royal Highness Xu is very majestic, so Lingling is very afraid of him. It would be better for Lingling to see His Royal Highness less often in the future."
Lu Baozhu responded: "Lingling is too timid."
Lingling was unconvinced and said: "The bad guys are too bad, so it's not like Lingling is cowardly!"
Qi Yuning asked Lu Zedao: "I heard that His Royal Highness is going to hold a poetry gathering in the royal garden?"
Lu Ze nodded and said: "Your Highness does have this plan. It is to recruit talented people in the spring of next year. If there are those with outstanding literary talents, they can be recruited now. The princess asks, is this?"
"I want to go too," Qi Yuning said, "It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't give me a post. Can you get me a post?"
Lu Ze lowered his head and glanced at Qi Yuning's feet, "Is your foot okay?"
"It'll be fine if you walk less." Qi Yuning said.
Lu Ze said: "Yeah."
Lu Baozhu came to the desk and looked at the painting and said, "Who are these two people?"
"This is grandpa and grandma!" Lingling said.
Lu Baozhu looked at the painting in front of her and it really took four or five hours to finish it. Then she looked at the black and blue under Lu Ze's eyes, and she felt that her eldest brother was not hopeless in terms of his inability to understand amorous feelings.
It was just around the corner that Qi Yuning would marry into the princess's mansion and serve her sister-in-law.
In the princess's mansion.
The prince came to take care of the fact that Lu Ze was haggard because his wife was snatched away by Qin Zhen.
Princess Pingrou looked at her little royal brother and chuckled: "Brother, Ze'er doesn't like Guan Zhiyi. He is haggard today because he spent the whole night painting last night. When he was ugly, Ze'er was still He came to us to find out whether the portrait he painted of Prince Qi looks like General Liu."
Zhao Chong said slowly: "Why do you want to draw Prince Qi and General Liu?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Maybe it's because Yu Ning misses her parents, right? Ze'er helped her recreate her parents' faces."
There was a trace of bitterness in Zhao Chong's eyes, and he hid his emotions and said, "I think I'll be able to drink Ze'er and Yu... Ning's wedding wine soon."
After hearing the word "Yu Ning", Zhao Chong paused slightly. Lu Ze is a good husband. If Yu Ning can marry him, it will be a good ending.
But why is it still so unwilling and sad? (End of this chapter)
