Envoys from Xirong arrive

Both of them had a look of disappointment on their faces, but they only smiled and nodded for a moment.

Seeing them like this, Lu Yaoyao smiled with satisfaction and continued, "But when you get married, my cousin will definitely prepare a gift for each of you."

"Thank you, cousin."

The two immediately laughed.

The whole family also laughed together, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Yao Yao, when it comes to getting married, you are not young anymore. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yaoyao.

Dongzhou women were engaged before they got hairpins, and many of them got married. Lu Yaoyao is now a hairpin girl, and will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year.

She is not engaged yet, and most people in the capital know that she is because of the incident with the Xu family. In addition, she is now unparalleled in the favor of the Holy Spirit, so she does not dare to gossip.

But from the perspective of elders like them, as a woman, she must have a destination.

"Your aunt is right."

"But your status is different. Grandpa and your uncles and aunts have just arrived in the capital not long ago. They are not good at it and dare not do anything for you."

"But we still have to pay close attention to this matter."

After hearing what they said, Lu Yaoyao felt helpless.

In her previous life, she was only a college student, so she had never experienced elders urging her to marry during festivals. However, she had seen many older brothers and sisters being urged to marry.

At that time, she didn't understand why they were so helpless.

I also felt that I was really not young and it was quite normal to find a partner to get married to.

But now, she felt helpless.

Because of the post-modern thinking, she really couldn't accept the idea of ​​getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is still half a child.

But regarding Dongzhou's situation, she also knew that it was absolutely impossible to wait until her twenties or thirties to get married like later generations.

"Grandpa, I know this matter well, so don't worry about it."

"Oh? How do you say Yao Yao has a sweetheart?"

Both Zhao and Yuan's eyes lit up, and they quickly stepped forward to take Lu Yaoyao's hand and walked to the side.

"Come and talk to aunt, whose young man is this?"

"Although we are not very familiar with this part of the capital yet, we can go and find out what the reputation is like and help you check it."

Yes, this understanding ability is too powerful, right?

When did I say that I have a sweetheart?

"Yes, cousin Yiyi can also help."

Lu Yiyi and Lu Mingxi both gathered around, and for a while, several women in the main hall gathered around Lu Yaoyao, exchanging questions in low voices.

Mr. Lu, brother Lu Xiu, as well as Lu Wenyuan and the other men could not get close to each other, but it did not prevent them from watching with smiles.

Lu Yaoyao was helpless, what should I say?

Seeing that she was hesitating for a long time and couldn't say anything, Lu Mingxi suddenly laughed and said, "Couldn't the cousin be talking about His Royal Highness, Prince Jin?"

"What?"

As soon as she said these words, both the Zhao family and Yuan family widened their eyes.

Hey, he's a prince, and his status is too high.

"Cousin, don't talk nonsense, Prince Jin and I are just friends."

Hearing Lu Mingxi talk about King Jin, Lu Yaoyao panicked for no reason.

"We are friends, but I have met Prince Jin a few times, and I feel that the way he looks at you is a little different."

"Really? Mingxi, please tell your mother carefully, what is the situation?"

Mrs. Zhao immediately became excited, and Mrs. Yuan next to her was also full of curiosity.

Only Lu Yaoyao was helpless.

She naturally knew what Prince Jin meant, and there was indeed something wrong with his eyes.

However, she really doesn't have much thought in this regard.

Now that Lu Mingxi said this, she felt that this matter might be a mistake.

"Miss, I also think Prince Jin is good."

"You have to find one anyway, and this one is pretty good."

Qiu Yu suddenly spoke, and Lu Yaoyao glared at her helplessly.

Seeing Zhao and Yuan turning around again, Lu Yaoyao didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Qiu Shuang, I'm a little tired. Let's clean up. Let's go back."

With that said, she quickly stood up and left the main hall as if running away.

When she returned to her yard and sat down, Qiu Yu said again, "Miss, why are you running away? What I just said was right."

"What do you know? I am"

Lu Yaoyao didn't know what to say.

She actually had some favorable impressions of Prince Jin, but it was far from the point where she could commit her life to him.

The most important thing is that she knows Prince Jin's secret and doesn't want to get involved.

"Miss, I know that you don't like to get involved in the royal family, but what Qiu Yu said this time is quite reasonable."

"With your current status, ordinary people are definitely not worthy of you, and we don't know those young masters from high-profile families, and the troubles in the house are definitely no less than those of the royal family."

"Prince Jin, there is no need to serve the mother-in-law. If you marry, you will directly become the mistress of the house, and your status is noble. Compared with others, you are much better."

Qiu Shuang also spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao began to think deeply.

She is not opposed to getting married. Speaking of which, she had some longing for love in her previous life.

After all, in her previous life, she was still a young woman in her twenties.

"Let's talk about this later, I still have a lot of things to do."

After hearing this, the two of them said nothing more.

In the next few days, there was heavy snow and she did not go out.

It was finally a sunny day, and she immediately remembered what Wang De said last time.

"Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage. I want to go into the palace."

Qiu Shuang immediately went to make arrangements.

Not long after, the carriage left the Lu Mansion and headed straight for the imperial palace.

When the palace gate guards saw the carriage of Princess Wanfu, they came to meet it from a distance.

After a brief inquiry, it was confirmed that the person sitting in the car was Princess Wanfu, and they were immediately released.

At this time, in the imperial study room, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Honglu Temple, Wen Songtao and Dong Xiang were all there, discussing with Emperor Hongwen the visit of the Xirong envoy.

"Your Majesty, something is amiss this year."

"Oh? Mr. Wen, tell me what's wrong?"

Emperor Hongwen looked at Wen Songtao in surprise.

"In the past winters, there were no bandits from Xirong to harass our cities and villages on the border of Dongzhou."

"There has been a lot of trouble since the beginning of this year. Why has there suddenly been no movement, and now you are sending envoys here?"

"I think they must have some agenda."

Indeed, Emperor Hongwen has also been thinking about this matter recently.

Speaking of which, he had received news more than a month ago that Xirong was going to send an envoy.

It's just that Xirong is far away from here, and dispatching envoys happens from time to time, so just come when you come, just let the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple prepare the reception.

News came from below today that in a few days, envoys from Xirong would come to Beijing, so officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came to report.

Prime Minister Wen and Prime Minister Dong happened to be discussing matters with His Majesty in the imperial study, so they got together.
