Chapter 7 Another injustice
Chapter 7 Another injustice
Lu Yuanze was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led everyone to get up and greet him.
The little prince is six years old this year. He is extremely intelligent and quite convincing in both the government and the public. Since his birth, His Majesty has taught him personally and never relies on others.
His Majesty's expectations for him can be seen from his name.
Xie Chengxi.
“Why are you here, Your Highness?” The eldest princess often comes to the palace, so she is naturally close to the prince.
The prince has never heard what is going on outside the window, and only hears about national affairs. How could he suddenly come to the Lu family?
Although the prince is young, his aura is such that everyone present dare not look directly at him.
He waved his hand, and Lu Yuanze retreated behind him.
“My aunt came to attend the full moon banquet. Chengxi happened to be out of the palace, so I stopped by to take a look.” The prince said calmly, his eyes falling on the swaddling clothes.
Lu Yuanze's eyes were a little fiery. Since the late emperor left, the favor of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion from Conglongzhigong has been exhausted.
Your Majesty is lukewarm towards the Lu family.
If you can catch up with the prince...
Mrs. Xu stepped forward and bowed to the prince. The prince nodded slightly: "Mrs. Xu, please get up quickly. I happened to pass by the Lu family and saw a full moon banquet being held. I came here to bring some happiness."
“Bring Chaochao over quickly.” Mrs. Xu nodded towards Dengzhi.
Xiao Chaochao blinked her eyes, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a delicate little brother looking at her seriously.
The little brother is extremely good-looking, but he has a serious look at such a young age that people don’t dare to mess with him.
The prince glanced twice and then looked away.
Sudden…
I heard a chirping baby's voice [Ah, it's the prince! 】
【The little prince was born with a sudden change in the celestial phenomena and was born with precocious wisdom... It's a pity that his life is not good, tsk tsk... all he did was make wedding clothes for others.】 The little guy muttered twice and then yawned.
Prince? ? ?
He stared at his round eyes, which seemed a little more confused.
What did he hear? Did you hear the baby's voice?
Have you finished speaking? What? What happened to me? !
The prince looked straight at the baby, but the little guy yawned, his eyes blurred, and fell asleep directly.
He thought about it so much... He went up and hugged her shoulders and shook her.
You should wake up and finish what you said!
“The young lady is probably sleepy.” Dengzhi smiled.
The prince frowned slightly, and then remembered the strangeness today. He reached out and took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it into his swaddling clothes: "I happened to pass by today and didn't bring any gifts, so I will give this to Xiao Chaochao as a full moon gift."
Lu Yuanze was shocked. He didn't even hug the prince's lap, but Lu Chaochao was favored by the prince!
At the same time, there was also a hint of displeasure in my heart.
This great luck should belong to Jing Yao.
"I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of my little daughter." Mrs. Xu bowed, feeling a little more at ease.
With the prince's attention, at least, they did not dare to attack Chao Chao again.
The prince didn't stay long, and Lu Yuanze didn't flatter him as much as he wanted. He just sent His Royal Highness out of the house in person.
Lu Chaochao's full moon banquet was extremely grand, and Mrs. Xu even gave her porridge for three days to pray for her.
At night, after the guests had dispersed, Lu Yuanze suppressed the anxiety between his brows.
"Chaochao is only one month old, and you have made it so grand and ostentatious, so be careful not to ruin her happiness." There was a hint of annoyance between Lu Yuanze's brows. Xu's face fell.
“How do you say this, Mr. Hou?”
"Chaochao is the only legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou family, and the only granddaughter of my Xu family. She is an upright legitimate daughter, not a dirty illegitimate child like that. What happened to the full-moon wine party in such a pompous manner?" Ms. Xu's eyebrows lowered slightly, What he said made Lu Yuanze's fists clenched at his side.
Dirty bastard.
Every word was trampled on his heart.
Xu knew that she shouldn't irritate him, but she couldn't help it and wanted to make him sick.
Lu Yuanze had no choice but to hold back his anger.
Today's invitations are all from the capital. The old ministers who usually treat him without pretense are a bit more kind to him today.
Lu Yuanze’s eyebrows twitched.
"Mother Yun, I don't blame you. I'm just afraid that the Marquis Mansion will be too ostentatious and displease Your Majesty." When Lu Yuanze saw today's full moon banquet, he couldn't help but think of Lu Jingyao who was also under a full moon.
It is also his daughter, it is also a full moon banquet, the Lu Dynasty is grand and extravagant.
But Lu Jingyao was hiding in the small house and didn't even dare to hold a full moon banquet.
His daughter has been wronged.
"The three brothers in front of me all have simple affairs, and they only have big affairs at court. It's just a full moon drink." Mrs. Xu smiled and said nothing, but she felt very hateful in her heart.
No wonder the three sons’ full-month drinks and one-year-old drinks were not held in a big way. I’m afraid that the woman outside was not happy!
Lu Yuanze sat in the courtyard for a while, then said that there were still government affairs that had not been resolved, and went back to the study.
Late night.
"Madam, the Marquis has gone out." Dengzhi had already paid attention to the front yard, and upon hearing the report, Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red.
She sat in front of the window for a long time, feeling cold both in her body and in her heart.
"It's a full moon of wine today, and he hasn't come back for a day, so he must go back to comfort his sweetheart, right?" Mrs. Xu gently rocked the cradle, feeling desolate in her heart.
She really wanted to ask, did you really like me back then?
After being married for more than ten years, the loving couple in the eyes of outsiders turned out to be all fake.
"Madam, Mr. Marquis, maybe there is something important." Dengzhi persuaded with difficulty.
Xu Shi chuckled lightly.
Dengzhi looked at her worriedly.
Mrs. Xu waved her hands and was about to take a rest when she heard a noise coming from outside the door.
"What's going on? You're making a lot of noise in the middle of the night?" Dengzhi went out to scold him.
"Madam, something happened!" The little girl from the inner gate staggered into the courtyard door.
“What happened? I was so panicked that I bumped into the little lady!”
The little girl looked frightened: "Something happened to the Xu family."
"Just now, the commander of the imperial army led his men and surrounded the Xu family, saying that the Xu family was harboring evil intentions and that there was something treacherous hidden in the house. At this moment, the Xu family is under strict supervision and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
Xu's body swayed slightly, and finally came...
What the daughter said came true.
She felt both sad and scared.
