In the carriage, Lu Wan shivered for no reason and felt a chill on his back.

"Is it cold? But you were freezing in the rain just now?" Li Rui asked with concern, but he had no intention of taking off his cloak to keep her out of the cold.

Lu Wan shook his head: "No problem. Where did Your Highness just say that?"

Li Ruidao: "Last time I chatted with my great-aunt, she was quite worried about her third cousin's marriage. Come to think of it, your third cousin is the same age as you, but her marriage has not been settled yet. I don't blame her for being worried."

Lu Wan listened quietly, waiting for his next words.

Li Rui glanced at her and continued: "I think my great-aunt is already making arrangements for the marriage of my third cousin. If you are interested in any family, you might as well tell me and I can help set up the connection. After all, there is no reason for a woman to propose marriage to a man.

.”

It turned out that I was here to inquire about Lu Youning’s marriage.

Sure enough, he thought about it.

Lu Wan sneered in her heart, but she raised her brows and nodded, sighing: "Your Highness has good intentions, but this matter is quite difficult to handle."

"Tell me about it." Li Rui was very interested.

Lu Wan hesitated for a moment and said: "I went back to say hello last time. According to my grandmother's wishes, it seems that His Highness King Yi is attracted to her..."

Li Rui's clasped hands couldn't help but tighten. It was exactly as he guessed!

On the day of the eldest princess's birthday, he was sitting under his father. When he heard his father and the eldest princess talking about King Yi, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Coupled with the words of the eldest princess yesterday, he was convinced that the eldest princess had already selected a husband for Lu Youning, so she blocked the relationship between him and Lu Youning.

As shrewd as the eldest princess, how could she not see what Lu Youning was thinking about him? She had grown up in the harem and had been immersed in the harem for decades. She would not be as stupid as the ignorant little concubine across from her.

In other words, the eldest princess and the Lu family have determined that Prince Yi will be the future crown prince of the East Palace, so they want to marry their favorite granddaughter to Princess Yi...

Li Rui felt a huge wave in his heart, and a cruel look flashed across his eyes.

Lu Wan looked at him coldly and said: "But because of the maid, the third sister is quite concerned. You also know that as a legitimate daughter, she has a distinguished status, and her eyes cannot tolerate sand... I think she seems to

I already have someone I like."

Li Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but think of Lawrence Lu's intimate actions towards him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

If she really likes him and refuses to marry King Yi, will the eldest princess and the Duke's Mansion still support King Yi?

Almost no longer hesitating, Li Rui said to Lu Wan with a guilty look on his face: "Actually, I came to you today because I have something to tell you..."

Lu Wan smiled gently and said, "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, speak directly."

Li Rui said apologetically: "I was originally scheduled to go to the palace to recruit people on the 18th of this month, but when I went to the palace today, I heard my mother and concubine mention that my imperial sister who died young was not born in April... I was afraid of causing my mother and concubine to feel sad.

I want to move the appointment date back to April..."

Lu Wan was taken aback and looked very unhappy. He lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.

Li Rui patiently coaxed her and said: "You have always been filial, and you don't want my mother and concubine to be sad. I will choose another auspicious day and it won't take too long..."

Lu Wan pretended to be helpless and nodded, but her heart was shaking with excitement.

This poisonous snake is finally moving away from me...

Changing the date was a big deal. Li Rui knew that Lu Wan couldn't handle it, and the eldest princess was too shrewd to deal with it, so he proposed to see the Duke Lu Jizhong.

Lu Wan proposed to accompany him. If his father didn't agree, she could help persuade him.

The two got off the carriage and went straight to Lu Jizhong's study.

It was almost dusk at that time, and as soon as the two of them entered the study, they smelled the fragrance of gardenia.
