Chapter 100;
Not appreciative
"It's really enviable."
Mrs. Su turned her head and smiled gently at her eldest daughter Wen Miaomiao.
"This girl from Mainland China is extraordinary. If you walk around with her more in the future, she will do you a lot of good."
"However, she has a clear mind. Unlike other people, your friendship with her is more pure."
"My daughter understands."
Wen Miaomiao nodded and agreed sweetly.
Lu Yaoyao's carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the palace.
With the jade pendant given by Emperor Hongwen, the guards at the palace gate did not dare to stop him.
He also diligently found a guide chamberlain for her.
"Now that the morning court is over, Mr. Wanfu Xiang, you will be here later, and I will retreat first."
"Excuse me, father-in-law."
Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded his thanks and handed over two taels of broken silver.
"Thank you Wanfu Township Lord for the reward."
After the chamberlain left, only her master and servant and the chamberlain guarding the door were left in front of the royal study.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the side.
Lu Yaoyao turned around and saw Emperor Hongwen approaching with a gloomy look.
She hurried over to meet him.
"Here comes the blessing, why are you standing here?"
Seeing her, Emperor Hongwen, who had looked gloomy just now, immediately changed into a smile, and his eyes became much gentler.
"From now on, Lord Wanfuxiang will come to the palace to ask for an audience, and he will be taken directly to the side hall to be waited upon."
This was said to the deacons, chamberlains, and others in the Imperial Study Room.
"Thank you for your grace."
Emperor Hongwen smiled and motioned for her to follow, and the group entered the imperial study.
"Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li De quickly went to move a chair.
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Li."
Li De smiled and said he didn't dare, and then stepped aside.
"Wanfu came to the palace today, what's the matter?"
Lu Yaoyao quickly stood up and took out the information he compiled yesterday.
Li De quickly stepped forward to take it, and then respectfully presented it to Emperor Hongwen.
Emperor Hongwen took it and took a look, his eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face became much stronger.
"Are you willing to give this to me?"
"nature."
You’ve already given it to me, why would you want to part with it?
She really couldn't stand this. She was obviously very happy, but she still talked nonsense.
"sit down."
Lu Yaoyao thanked him again.
"I accepted the things, but I can't ask for your things in vain."
Emperor Hongwen pondered for a moment before speaking again, "Can I give you a favor from the Lu family?"
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao stood up again and saluted and said, "Your Majesty's gift is naturally very good. I would like to thank you first."
"It's just that the affairs of the Lu family have not yet been completed, and there are elders in charge of the Lu family. It is not easy for a junior, my daughter, to take over."
"Your Majesty, please understand."
Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded, motioning for her to sit down.
"I have already asked people to investigate the Lu family's affairs, and I have roughly gained some understanding."
"It's just that due to some reasons, they have to suffer a little injustice for the time being."
"Don't worry, I have already made a decision."
Judging from the look on Emperor Hongwen's face when he went down to court just now, something bad must have happened in court this morning.
Reminiscent of Wen Songtao's words yesterday, I'm afraid they are related to Gao Xiang again.
"The Lu family wanted to abide by the law, but they were framed by a treacherous villain."
"Your Majesty is a wise king and will never let innocent people suffer injustice in vain."
"The Lu family suffered an unreasonable disaster this time. I heard that you recently cooperated with the eldest princess in business."
"Do you plan to let the Lu family develop in the capital?"
Hearing him bring the topic back again, Lu Yaoyao understood in her heart that Emperor Hongwen might really want to hand over the rice paper and printing matters to the Lu family.
"My daughter has been living in the capital since she was a child. After the accident happened to the Xu family, as a daughter of the Lu family, she should have returned to Jiangdong to live."
"But my daughter is really unfamiliar with Jiangdong and is a little scared."
"I plan to continue living in the capital, and then I plan to start a small business."
"As for whether the Lu family will come to the capital to develop, I don't know. Although my second uncle is in the capital, he can't make the decision on some things."
Yesterday, my second uncle already said that the matter involving Huang Shang was too big for him to make the decision.
You need to discuss it carefully with your family.
Naturally, she wouldn't reveal anything at this time.
Otherwise, if the Lu family is unwilling to do so at that time, wouldn't it be troublesome if she showed an attitude?
Emperor Hongwen didn't think anything wrong with her remarks.
The family's relocation and development is indeed a major event, and it is not something she and the second son of the Lu family can decide.
"It would be good to stay in the capital."
Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded, and continued: "Is Wanfu getting hairpin soon? There are many children from aristocratic families in the capital, do you need me to help you choose one?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat.
Li De and other chamberlains who were waiting nearby were all surprised.
They had been serving Emperor Hongwen all year round and knew him somewhat.
Lu Yaoyao entered the palace twice, and they watched from the side. Emperor Hongwen's attitude towards her was quite good.
Now she actually has to choose a husband for her. The implication is that she plans to grant her a marriage.
It is a great honor to be granted marriage by a capable emperor.
Especially in Lu Yaoyao's family situation, her mother died young, her father was unreliable, and she herself was sent to a farm since she was a child.
To put it bluntly, apart from a pretty face, she has almost no redeeming qualities.
Even if he now has the title Wanfu Xiangjun, he can only attract the attention of a few petty officials at most.
Emperor Hongwen was talking about a child of aristocratic family. Judging from his attitude towards Lu Yaoyao, this must not be an ordinary child of aristocratic family.
Being granted a marriage by His Majesty is equivalent to having him as a backer. Even if those aristocratic families look down on her, they would not dare to neglect her. She is regarded as a great gift.
"It would be great to have His Majesty's help."
"It's just that I don't have any thoughts on this yet. Since I'm young and haven't learned many rules, I don't want to embarrass His Majesty when the time comes."
"Secondly, because of some things in the past, many of my daughters were supported by the Lu family. Now that I am free, I want to spend more time with them."
Emperor Hongwen also knew about her past, but the two disguised rejections still made him think that the other party did not appreciate her.
The smile on his face faded a little.
"Wish you have such a heart, it's good."
Later, he lost interest in continuing the conversation with Lu Yaoyao, and after a few brief conversations, he waved Lu Yaoyao to leave.
Li De personally arranged for a young eunuch to escort Lu Yaoyao out of the palace.
"I thought he was smart at first, but I never thought about it."
Looking at Lu Yaoyao's back, Li De shook his head repeatedly.
No matter how many people ask for the holy grace, they can't get it. Lord Wanfuxiang actually refused it twice today. He is really stupid.
However, what he didn't know was that Lu Yaoyao was very aware of Emperor Hongwen's emotional changes just now, and also knew that the two rejections would make him unhappy.
But she had to do this, so she didn't say it the first time, but it was related to the future of the Lu family, and she didn't dare to make the decision for the Lu family.
The second time was related to her future. Although she knew that having Emperor Hongwen help was a good thing for her, she couldn't accept it.
As for your husband, you still have to choose the one you like, right?
