Chapter 34 034(1/2)
The month before Zhou Qi was confined, the four wives and concubines of the Chun Palace were favored the most.
So Princess Chun began to be afraid of Lu again, although she never understood why her noble and gentle prince liked Xi Shi.
Fortunately, the fourth brother actually broke the third brother's fingers. Now, the fourth brother will be charged with the crime of trauma for the rest of his life. The prince felt sorry for the third brother and would never favor the Lu family who gave birth to the fourth brother's son in a short period of time.
This is the result that Princess Chun wants.
She is the princess, and she should be the most favored woman in the prince's mansion. Although before Lu's favor was restored, the prince did not come to her house many times, and sometimes he came. The couple just lay on the same bed and did nothing. But Princess Chun thought this was normal. The children had to start a family and start a career, and the thought of being an elder would definitely not be as heavy as when she was young.
"Princess, the prince rests in the front yard."
As night fell, Madam Li walked in from the outer room and whispered to Princess Chun.
Princess Chun said suspiciously: "It's been six or seven days, right?"
Madam Li nodded. After the Fourth Master was punished, the prince went to the third Master’s biological mother, Aunt Li, to stay for one night. For the next seven days, the prince never set foot in the backyard again.
Seeing the master frowning, Madam Li said again: "But the prince had not even stepped into the backyard for half a month before. I think he was busy with errands today."
Princess Chun can only think so.
The next day, Princess Chun received a greeting letter. The wife of the Marquis of Pingxi heard that Princess Baofu looked similar to Princess Roujia, who had passed away, and hoped to see her at the palace tomorrow. I wonder if the princess could have time to entertain guests.
When Princess Chun received this post, there were no surprises. The couple of Marquis Pingxi and Marquis had no daughters and always treated Princess Roujia as their daughter. If it weren't for her mother-in-law, Concubine Hui would not be able to bear her granddaughter, the couple of Marquis Pingxi would have taken their niece back to the Marquis's mansion to raise and take care of her.
Princess Chun asked Mama Li to reply to a post, inviting Mrs. Pingxi to visit her mansion tomorrow.
In the Marquis’ Mansion of Pingxi, Mrs. Dou, the wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, smiled at the eldest son who was guarding the side: "Okay, tomorrow my mother will go to meet the Yilan girl who will make you fall in love with at first sight."
Xu Yao touched his head, "Mom, she is timid, don't scare her."
Dou Shi stared at her eyes: "I'm not a female yaksha, why are you scaring her if you have nothing to do?"
Xu Yao:...
Mom, do you know that your eyes really look like a female yaksha?
But no matter how stupid he is, he will never say this!
.
That night, King Chun was reading the file in the study, and Princess Chun was holding a bowl of chicken soup to see him.
King Chun glanced at his wife who came in and continued to read the file.
Princess Chun put the chicken soup and said something to him to pay attention to his health. Seeing the man's slightest, Princess Chun said, "By the way, Princess Pingxi Marquis sent me a greeting today, saying that she was going to see A Tao."
King Chun's eyes were slightly dim and he said, "Helmet Mrs. Hou."
Princess Chun said with a gentle voice and said goodbye.
The next day, Mrs. Dou, the wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, came as promised.
Dou was the only female general of the dynasty. Her husband, Marquis of Pingxi, was brave but not wise, but Dou was very good at placing troops. The couple went on battle together and had never been defeated. Emperor Yongxi valued the couple, and King Chun praised the two, so Princess Chun always hoped to have a good relationship with Dou.
"Madam, I'll send someone to invite the princess right away." Princess Chun said with a smile.
Dou's voice was cheerful: "I heard that the princess has another sister, can I invite her together?"
Princess Chun was slightly surprised, but this was a trivial matter, so she certainly would not refuse.
When Xu Roujia heard that her aunt was coming, she pointed out that she wanted to see her and Lu Yilan, and immediately guessed her aunt's purpose.
"Auntie, my aunt... Mrs. Pingxi Hou must be here to see her sister!" Ping retreated and Xu Roujia said excitedly.
Lu looked at his niece quietly.
Lu Yilan sat on the cold couch next to the window, lowering her head to embroider the needle and thread, as if she didn't hear what they were saying, but the girl's stitches leaked her concern.
Lu also felt that Mrs. Pingxi Hou's trip must be for her niece, otherwise she would have just fucked her niece, so why would she have to invite Yilan?
Thinking of this, the Lu family was so excited. The Xu family has been generals for generations, and all the men in the family are heroes who defend the country. If you really want to marry Xu Yao, that is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. What’s even more rare is that Xu Yao’s mother Dou is a heroine who is not particular about the details and does not care about her daughter-in-law’s lintel. When her niece meets such a mother-in-law, she will definitely not be angry.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly, go and dress up!"
After snatching away the needle and thread from his niece's hand, Lu urged excitedly.
"Yes, sister, let's go and change clothes quickly." Xu Roujia smiled and pulled Lu Yilan to stay.
Lu Yilan was very confused.
She still liked her cousin, but she didn't mention that her cousin seemed to be unintentional to her. When she thought that Zhou Yu also lived in the royal palace, Lu Yilan was so scared that she didn't even dare to leave Xiaoyueju's door.
If she married her cousin, she would have to meet Zhou Yu frequently in the future.
Lu Yilan was so scared that she just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible and go to a place where Zhouyu wanted to find her but she didn't dare to find her.
Xu Yao…
Thinking that Xu Yao was as old as his brother, but his body was much taller and more majestic than his brother, Lu Yilan suddenly felt that if he could really marry Xu Yao, he would definitely be able to protect her.
While changing clothes, Lu Yilan looked at herself in the mirror and bit her lip guiltily.
My brother used to say that she was selfish, but now she is selfish again, and she selfishly uses Xu Yao to avoid Zhou Yu.
But Lu Yilan really couldn't think of another way. When Zhang Shun forced her to pick her up that day, Lu Yilan had even thought of death.
She could only find a way to be worthy of Xu Yao.
If the marriage really happens, she will forget her cousin and will try her best to be a good wife for Xu Yao.
"Sister, don't worry, I heard that Mrs. Hou is very approachable."
The Funing Hall was ahead. Seeing that Lu Yilan was distracted all the way, Xu Roujia smiled and comforted, "Just imagine her as an aunt who can fight but can't make tofu."
Lu Yilan was not very convinced, but when her sister said this, she seemed to be less nervous.
The two followed Madam Li into the hall and saluted at the same time.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, Dou, stared at the short Xu Roujia in disbelief.
Xu Roujia’s relationship with her aunt in her previous life was not as deep as that of her grandmother. Although she missed her very much, she did not lose control and she cried.
"It's really like it." Dou murmured. If it weren't for knowing that the deceased eldest princess sister-in-law had only given birth to one daughter, she would have wondered if the Tao in front of her was a twin who was wandering away.
When Xu Roujia heard this, she looked at Dou curiously.
Dou couldn't help but smile.
Xu Roujia also smiled.
Dou fell in love with this child all of a sudden. Looking at Lu Yilan next to Xu Roujia, she was indeed as beautiful as her son said. As for her temperament, she looked like a timid and afraid, but the girl from the town was definitely not as good as the daughter of a noble family.
"Princess, I want to chat with the princess and the others alone. Isn't it convenient?" After seeing the appearance of the two girls, Dou said directly.
Princess Chun nodded with a smile and asked her sister Xu Roujia to accompany Dou to the garden.
Xu Roujia is sweet-mouthed, and she is familiar with her aunt's preferences. After walking around, she and Dou are already very intimate.
While being coaxed by Xu Roujia, Dou did not forget her purpose in coming to the palace today.
Dou took the initiative to chat with Lu Yilan a lot.
After chatting, Dou thought that Lu Yilan had nothing particularly outstanding except for her beauty, but she also had no particularly serious problems. Since her son liked such a girl, she could marry her home as a daughter-in-law.
"Miss Lu, what do you think of the dog Xu Yao?" Dou asked with a smile before walking in the garden and returning to Funing Hall.
Although Lu Yilan knew that she was here to look at her, she didn't expect Dou to be so blunt and quick.
She blushed and didn't know how to answer.
Xu Roujia walked a few steps aside with tactfulness.
Seeing Lu Yilan blushing, Dou guessed the answer, pulled Lu Yilan's little hand and said, "If you don't speak, I will treat you as acquiesced and send someone to propose marriage. You can't regret it anymore."
The heroine's hands were warm, and a sense of shame suddenly surged in Lu Yilan's heart, and she lowered her head and said, "Madam, I am afraid that I am not worthy of the prince, which will bring shame to the Marquis's Mansion."
Dou smiled: "What shame can you give the Xu family if you are a little girl with no power? I don't have much demands on my daughter-in-law, and I just want to live a good life with Yaolang."
Lu Yilan became more and more ashamed of her being so good.
.
Three days later, the Marquis of Pingxi indeed asked a matchmaker to come to the royal palace to propose marriage.
Princess Chun heard that the matchmaker came to the house and was invited by the Marquis of Pingxi. The first thing she thought of was that Dou fell in love with A Tao, who looked similar to Princess Roujia, so she could marry her and see her.
When the matchmaker said Lu Yilan's name, Princess Chun, Madam Li and the maids of all sizes in the hall were stunned.
Dou actually wanted to marry a niece of Tofu Xishi for her prince's son?
After being shocked, Princess Chun subconsciously wanted to mess up the marriage.
Her Xuan'er is the eldest daughter of the prince. No matter how high her husband is, she will not be much taller than Xu Yao, the prince. Why can a niece of Tofu Xishi marry as well as her daughter? At least A Tao has a face that God admires, why is Lu Yilan?
Moreover, Lu Yilan's high marriage is equivalent to bringing a noble relative to the fourth family. This is what Princess Chun most reluctant to see.
However, she couldn't make the decision on this marriage and had to say hello to the prince.
After seeing off the matchmaker, Princess Chun asked Madam Li irritably: "What should I do now?"
Madam Li pondered: "The matchmaker comes to the door, and this matter cannot be hidden from the prince... What if the prince agrees, who do you recommend to the East Palace?"
Princess Chun's eyes lit up: "You mean that marriage with the Xu family will cause fear over there?"
