Chapter 101 ;
Chapter 101; How about getting married?
After leaving the palace and returning home, Lu Yaoyao was speechless.
Qiu Yu, who was accompanying her, wanted to ask several times, but seeing her thoughtful look on her face, she didn't dare to disturb her.
Lu Yaoyao didn't speak until he returned to the small courtyard.
"I'm a little hungry, Qiu Yu, go and get me some food."
The autumn rain receded in response.
Not long after she left, the second uncle of the Lu family arrived after receiving news that she was returning home.
"Yao Yao, Your Majesty."
Seeing his worried look, Lu Yaoyao smiled reassuringly, motioned for him to sit down first, and then told him about entering the palace today.
When he heard that Emperor Hongwen had indeed handed over rice paper and printing technology to the Lu family, Lu Kang was both happy and worried.
Of course, there are still a lot more worries.
"You did a good job."
Although the opportunity is good, you have to have a life to enjoy it.
If your life is gone, what's the use of this opportunity and the name of Huangshang?
"Although I missed it this time, there will be other opportunities in the future."
Lu Yaoyao has some plans in mind for the future development of the Lu family.
Actually, this time Emperor Hongwen had a sudden change of heart, which she had not expected at first.
After learning about it, she refused immediately. The reason why she explained it to her second uncle was because she wanted to see what he thought.
Don't let her refuse when the time comes. Everyone in the Lu family hopes to do it. When the time comes, things will go wrong and there will be complaints.
However, the second uncle's mind was relatively clear and he was not tempted.
"Yes, people still have opportunities while they are alive. Our Lu family has a shallow foundation and it is not a good thing for us to take too big a step all at once."
Lu Yaoyao also agreed very much with this.
"It's good that my second uncle can think this way, and we can develop slowly and steadily."
The nephew and uncle chatted for a while before Qiu Yu came back with the food box.
"Yao Yao has been running around all day. You eat first, and my second uncle will leave first."
After Lu Kang left, Lu Yaoyao walked to the table and sat down.
"Miss, I see that my second uncle is very happy. Is it because the emperor's business has been implemented?"
"No."
Lu Yaoyao shook his head while enjoying the delicacies of Baizhenlou.
"Your Majesty does have this intention, but I refused."
She also knew what Lu Yaoyao and Uncle Lu analyzed yesterday. Although Huangshang was good, it was also very dangerous to the Lu family.
"Refused?"
In Prince Jin's Mansion, Prince Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise just after hearing Yan San's report.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you used to say that Miss Lu is smart."
"From your subordinate's perspective, this doesn't look too bad, right?"
Yan San curled his lips.
If you refuse such a good opportunity, don't you know that becoming an imperial merchant means having the emperor as a backer?
For the current Lu family, it would be a great blessing to have the emperor as their backer. Not only would their status rise a lot, it would not be easy for the Gao family to move them.
"You are usually shrewd, but when faced with temptation, your mind is a little unclear."
Originally, he thought that Lu Yaoyao might agree. After all, this opportunity was really good and the things he could obtain were also very good.
But when you get a lot, you pay a lot and have to face a lot.
"If I were the king, I would also refuse this opportunity."
Yan Sanyi was startled. This is obviously a good thing, why should he reject it?
"You only see the benefits, but you don't see the hidden dangers."
"Are the nobles over there easy to deal with?"
"If it was easy to deal with, why would Your Majesty wait until today?"
"This opportunity is indeed very good for the Lu family, but if we accept it, the Lu family will become a thorn in the eyes of the noble clan. How long can the Lu family withstand the counterattack of the noble clan?"
Hearing this, Yan San immediately retorted: "Isn't there your Majesty?"
"His Majesty?"
King Jin curled his lips in a sneer.
"When the time comes, do you think he will choose a stable country or protect the Lu family?"
Regarding Emperor Hongwen's brother, he understood best that he loved the country more than anything else, despite the fact that he always wanted to deal with the nobles.
He also wants to suppress all the noble clans, but that is at a low cost. If the country is shaken, he will not hesitate to choose the country to put an end to the problem.
The reason why the gentry became more and more powerful was because they understood this.
It is true that Emperor Hongwen had skill, but his courage was still lacking.
"It's hard to say, after all."
"There is nothing hard to say. I can give you a definite answer. When the time comes, the Lu family will definitely be the first person pushed out by him to put out the fire."
"Miss Lu should be very aware of this."
This statement surprised Yan San.
"Is she really that powerful?"
If King Jin had made such a choice, it would have been a decision made with a good understanding of Emperor Hongwen's character.
Lu Yaoyao only met Emperor Hongwen two or three times. Can this tell us about Emperor Hongwen's character?
He felt it was a bit impossible.
"She may not understand His Majesty, but she understands the situation in Dongzhou."
"You, please don't underestimate this mainland girl, she is quite capable."
It's really not that small. Can an ordinary girl take out four divine items that Dongzhou worships as a gift from God?
And he had a feeling that Lu Yaoyao definitely had more than these, and he should also have mastered many unknown divine objects.
Otherwise, how could she be so generous and give out four items at once?
In the eyes of others, she used these four things in exchange for the safety of the Lu family, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
This girl is amazing.
"Since you are so powerful, why don't you, Your Highness, marry Miss Lu into the palace and become your princess?"
"This way you can join forces."
Hearing Yan San's thoughts again, King Jin frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense."
He had some special regard for Lu Yaoyao, but he had never thought about the princess or anything like that.
Although he also knew very well that it would be very beneficial to him if he could make her his princess.
But there are some things that you can't just look at the benefits.
He thought, but that didn't mean others thought too, but he always remembered that Lu Yaoyao once said that he didn't want to get involved in the royal family's fight.
Judging from the current situation, if he had such an idea, Lu Yaoyao would probably refuse it, or even kill the relationship that had finally developed.
"My subordinate, this and that are nonsense. This is a good thing."
"My lord, you are also a prince after all. If she enters the palace, she will be the princess."
"The Lu family didn't have this opportunity, but they became the princess's maternal family, and their status also rose a lot."
Yan San was busy talking to himself and did not notice the gloomy look on King Jin's face at all.
"presumptuous!"
A sudden loud shout interrupted Yan San's chatter.
At this glance, Yan San knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Hmph, it seems that I have indulged you too much, causing you to lose all rules."
King Jin's cold voice made Yan San's heart go cold.
"Go down and get twenty sticks. Next time, you won't have to serve me anymore."
"Yes, I know my mistake."
Yan San honestly retreated to receive the punishment.
