Chapter 49 Prince Yu

Lu Shuanning returned to Linglong Pavilion and rested for a while to regain her energy. Then she asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to help her dress up again. She changed into a lotus-colored cross-collar high-waisted skirt. After seeing that the time was almost up, she took Qingzhi with her.

Go to Cheng'an Palace.

On the way from Linglong Pavilion to Cheng'an Palace, you must pass through the Imperial Garden. Because of today's palace banquet, there are really many people in the Imperial Garden at this time.

From a distance, Lu Wanning saw the married women and royal family members gathered together in twos and threes to talk in the imperial garden.

However, among these people were not the old lady Lin from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and the Hou Madam Chang. They might have gone to Zhaoyang Palace.

Lu Wanning withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward, but he felt someone's eyes falling on him as if they were real.

Lu Wanning turned around and saw a strange man staring at her. The man was about forty years old, with a fat head and big ears. He was wearing a dark purple python robe. He had a big belly and was squeezed by a face of fat.

The small eyes that are almost invisible are shining with a squinting light.

Lu Wanning couldn't help but frowned.

When Qingzhi and Qingdai saw Lu Wanning frowning, they followed Lu Wanning's line of sight and saw the man smiling at Lu Wanning, but the smile looked malicious.

Qingdai glared fiercely, trying to get the man to restrain himself, but the man seemed not to notice, his eyes still focused on Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning endured the discomfort in her heart, ignored the gaze, and continued walking forward with Qingzhi and Qingdai.

After walking a few steps, Qingzhi turned around and saw that the man was walking towards their direction.

Qingzhi quickly reminded Lu Wanning in a low voice: "Master, he seems to be coming towards us."

Lu Wanning didn't look back, saw Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen not far ahead, and took two steps to catch up with them.

"Sister Qu, a talented person from Zhou."

Although Zhou Cairen is only a talented person, she was elected to the palace in the second year of Mingde. She is already twenty-three this year, seven years older than Lu Wanning. Because she is not favored, she has not been promoted in these years. According to the palace

According to the long-standing rules, it was appropriate for Lu Wanning to call her sister, but Zhou Cairen would inevitably be embarrassed, so it would be better to call her Zhou Cairen.

Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen stopped when they heard the sound and saluted Lu Wanning, "Sister Lu/Lu Meiren."

As expected, Zhou Cairen did not call Lu Wanning sister.

Lu Wanning smiled at the two of them and said, "Sister Qu and Zhou Cairen are also going to Cheng'an Palace, right? I'll go with you."

Qu Cai and Zhou Cai naturally got along well with each other, so the three of them walked to Cheng'an Palace with the palace attendants.

Qingzhi followed Lu Wanning and looked back without leaving a trace. When she saw that the man was following them not too far away, she felt uneasy. She didn't know what the man wanted to do.

When they arrived at Cheng'an Palace, Lu Wanning and others were led to their seats by the palace staff. It was a coincidence that Lu Wanning, Zhou Cairen and Qu Cairen had similar positions, and their seats happened to be arranged together.

Not long after Lu Wanning and the others sat down, the man following them also walked in. After sitting down, he first looked around the hall. When he saw Lu Wanning, his eyes lit up, and he glanced in Lu Wanning's direction from time to time.

The eyes made Lu Wanning very irritated, and a bit of disgust could not help but appear on his face.

Zhou Cairen, who was sitting with Lu Wanning, saw the disgusted expression flashing across Lu Wanning's face. He thought for a moment, leaned next to Lu Wanning, and whispered to Lu Wanning: "Mr. Lu knows Prince Yu?"

Lu Wanning shook his head and said, "I don't know, why would Zhou Cai say this?"

She really didn't know Prince Yu, but when she saw the man in the imperial garden, she guessed that he was Prince Yu from his clothes and age.

Zhou Cairen was not surprised by Lu Wanning's answer. She smiled and said, "I saw that Lu Meiren just glanced at Prince Yu, and her eyes were very disgusting. I thought Lu Meiren knew Prince Yu before she showed her face."

Such an expression."

Lu Wanning did not hide her dislike for Prince Yu, saying: "So he is Prince Yu. I don't know who he is, but I just think his behavior of looking around is very annoying."

Zhou Cairen nodded, "Indeed, there may be no more disgusting person than Prince Yu in the entire capital, but he has obviously done all the disgusting things, and the victims can only consider themselves unlucky because of his status.

"

Lu Wanning was very surprised by the deep hatred towards Prince Yu in Zhou Cairen's words, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Cairen.

Zhou Cairen smiled at Lu Wanning and said, "Don't you understand why I said that?"

After asking, without waiting for Lu Wanning to answer, Zhou Cairen said to himself: "I am the youngest daughter in the family. I have an older sister who is twelve years older than me. She has a gentle personality and beautiful appearance..."

When Lu Wanning heard this, she suddenly remembered that Prince Yu's first princess seemed to have a surname of Zhou. Could it be that she was Zhou Cairen's sister?

Prince Yu's first concubine, Zhou, had died of illness eight years ago. Within three months of Zhou's death, Prince Yu married his stepmother Zhang, but it had only been six years since Zhang married into Prince Yu's palace.

It's gone.

After Zhang's death, Prince Yu always wanted to marry again, but few people were willing to marry him. That's why he approached the Queen Mother before, and the concubine threatened Prince Yu by giving her a second string.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanning's hatred towards the imperial concubine increased even more.

Zhou Cairen continued, "My sister has already been engaged. Her fiancé is the son of my father's colleague. She and my sister are in love. If they can get married, they will definitely get along and be happy."

"Unfortunately, when my sister was sixteen, her fiancé's mother died of illness. Therefore, her fiancé had to mourn for her mother for three years. The two families could only postpone the marriage until her fiancé had finished mourning for his mother.

The wedding will be held after the funeral."

"My sister has been waiting for more than two years, and it seems that she can marry the person she likes in half a year. I don't want Prince Yu to go to our Quanling County to play, and accidentally saw my sister. He was immediately shocked and came to ask my father to marry me.

My father rejected his marriage proposal on the grounds that my sister was already engaged."

"Prince Yujun refused to give up. After his father rejected him, he actually found someone to kidnap his sister. After the plan failed, he went back to Beijing directly to ask for a marriage decree."

Her father is just a small county magistrate. Rejecting Prince Yu's marriage proposal is the limit of what he can do. Prince Yu came with a marriage decree to marry his sister. How could their family have the courage to do so?

Dare to resist the decree?

Because of this imperial edict, her sister could not even ask for death. Once her sister died, their family would be finished.

So her sister had no choice but to marry into the prince's palace with tears. If only she had done so, she would not have hated Prince Yu so much. The hateful Prince Yu forcibly married her sister but was not nice to her sister.
