Chapter 75
Shortly after Chen Jiao and his friends came back from a trip, the sixth girl from the Qin Palace suddenly posted a post to several girls, asking them to go to the palace to appreciate the peonies. The post specifically stated that the sixth girl wanted to meet the cousin from the Hou Mansion from Suzhou.
The post was first delivered to Mrs. Hou Wei.
Wei took the post and came out for a while.
The princess and concubines of the King of Qin lived in the capital. There was only one concubine in the palace of Liangzhou who was favored by the King of Qin, the biological mother of the Sixth Girl. The Sixth Girl was noble because of her mother and was both talented and beautiful. She was the real pearl of the King of Qin’s hand. Her whole body was almost the same as that of the legitimate daughter.
However, since the King of Qin smiled and proposed to betroth the Sixth Girl to his eldest son last year, and the eldest son refused in person, the Sixth Girl was so angry that she never invited her own girls to the palace again. Why are you going to move again now?
The Marquis went out and Wei went to find his mother-in-law's advice.
The Grandma had always wanted to be a relative with the King of Qin, but the Grandma felt that the illegitimate Six Girl was not worthy of her grandson Lu Yu, who was so glorious. What she expected was that her second granddaughter Lu Wan could marry Liu Heng, the second master of the royal family. Now that the granddaughter had the opportunity to go around the royal family, the Grandma was very happy and smiled at the post: "It's almost a year, and the Six Girl was not so angry. Looking at the entire Liangzhou City, the Six Girl could only interact with our children. The Six Girl was so angry that she naturally missed the former sisters again."
"Then it's up?" Wei asked.
The lady looked at her daughter-in-law strangely: "As long as Yunya refuses marriage, we have already swept the face of the royal palace once. Now the sixth girl invites the sisters to enjoy the flowers. Why don't she respond to such a small matter?"
Yunya is the word Lu Yu.
Wei understood and sent someone to call the four girls in the mansion to the main courtyard.
When Lu Wan heard that the Sixth Girl had invited her, she was the happiest. Lu Ying's reaction was mediocre, and Lu Zhen looked at her cousin worriedly.
Chen Jiao was about to find an excuse to refuse, but Wei thought of something, looked at her with a serious look on her face, and solemnly instructed: "Miss Six specifically mentioned that she wanted to see you. The royal mansion is not more rules than our Marquis' Mansion. When you go back, you will ask your second aunt to teach you well. Don't make mistakes when you arrive at the royal mansion."
When Chen Jiao heard this, her brows frowned. How could Miss Six know that she must have been instructed by Liu Heng.
Chen Jiao was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to provoke a man like Liu Heng. However, when the Sixth Girl wanted to see her, she really pretended to be sick and refused to go. It was nothing to be rude, but it would affect her uncle and aunt, especially her aunt. Chen Jiao would never want her aunt to be blamed by the eldest wife because of her etiquette. Wei was complained about.
Just go. She is only thirteen now. At that time, she will never be separated from her cousin. What else can Liu Heng dare to do?
Chen Jiao thought so, but Lu Zhen was very worried. As soon as she returned to the second room, she went to her mother to ask for advice: "Mom, then Liu Heng clearly has a crush on her cousin. He has never been afraid of heaven and earth, and the prince can't control him. I'm afraid that her cousin will suffer."
The second lady then realized that the children met Liu Heng during the outing. Looking at the sweet niece, the second lady frowned and said to the cousin sisters: "If the second master really wants to bully Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao hides this time, he will find a way to use the Sixth Girl to invite Jiaojiao over in the future. We can hide once, but we can't hide every time. In my opinion, since he instructed the Sixth Girl to invite the four of you sisters, he would not dare to do anything. Jiaojiao, but it doesn't matter if he invites Jiaojiao alone, and Jiaojiao will pretend to be sick and shirke it."
Chen Jiao said: "I told my cousin this way, why are my uncles all Pingxi Houston? He dare not deceive others too much."
Lu Zhen sighed and looked at her cousin's little face and said, "It turns out that it's not appropriate to be too beautiful, it's too easy for people to target."
Chen Jiao lowered her head and smiled.
The second wife scolded her daughter, talking nonsense, and she didn't look like a lady from a noble family.
The three-bedroom family used the dinner in their yard alone. On the side of the big room, the dinner was arranged. The Marquis of Pingxi and Wei sat side by side on the north side. Lu Yu, Lu Huan, and Lu Wan took over one side of the table.
Lu Wan always lowered her head, afraid that her elder brother would see her joy.
Not long after, Wei mentioned the royal family's post to her husband.
Lu Yu's face darkened and his eyes shot sharply at his sister opposite him.
Lu Wan's head lowered.
The Marquis of Pingxi also knew his daughter's thoughts about Liu Heng, and even knew that his daughter was frivolous and would take the initiative to find opportunities to approach Liu Heng. In order to avoid a scandal, the Marquis of Pingxi put down his bowls and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Wanwan stays in the mansion and let other sisters go." The emperor now seems to be depriving him of the vassal state, and sent him to Liangzhou to restrain the King of Qin. According to the Marquis of Pingxi, it would be better that the daughters and nieces would not go. It was just that the two families wanted to maintain their superficial harmony, and the Marquis of Pingxi could not give the King of Qin too much. Fortunately, the other two nieces were considered sensible.
"Why don't you let me go?" Lu Wan raised her head suddenly and said angrily.
Lu Yu and his sister are peers, and they are helpless when they discipline them. However, the Marquis of Pingxi ignored his daughter's anger and said coldly: "Because I am your father, I dare to cry and make a fuss, and I will be suspended for three months."
Lu Wan's tears fell down in grievance and looked at her mother with help.
The husband was so dark that Wei dared not plead for his daughter, and secretly handed her a look of "don't make trouble".
Lu Wan left the seat angrily.
Lu Huan held the bowl absent-mindedly, and was even more worried that Liu Heng would take advantage of her little cousin after she went to the palace. After dinner, Lu Huan immediately went to the second room to find Chen Jiao.
When Chen Jiao and Lu Zhen met him together, Lu Huan came up with an idea to let Chen Jiao pretend to be sick. Chen Jiao couldn't tell her intimate conversation with the second wife, and said: "Miss Sixth Girl is kind to invite me. It's a rude thing for me not to go. Don't worry, second cousin, I'm inseparable from my two cousins, nothing will happen."
Lu Huan looked at Chen Jiao in a complicated mood. Liu Heng had a noble status and his sister liked Liu Heng. Will his cousin be moved?
Lu Huan wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, and said goodbye angrily.
When he went back, Lu Huan met his brother again.
"Where did you go?" Lu Yu asked casually.
Lu Huan was not in the mood to chat and went back to his yard dejectedly.
With his brother's frustrated virtue, Lu Yu could guess that Chen Jiao was probably willing to go to the flower banquet at the Qin Palace. That is to say, on the boat that day, she was on the boat and looked happy because she was happy that her daughter, the governor of Suzhou, was actually favored by the serious Dragon Prince and the Grandson?
As soon as the thought came to mind, Lu Yu thought of his concubine's aunt who died young. It is said that her aunt also wanted to be noble at that time...
Is the mother and daughter the same lineage?
Lu Yu's face was sank. Although Chen Jiao was just a cousin who was not very close to him, Lu Yu still didn't want the little girl to go astray.
There were three days before Chen Jiao's three daughters went to the royal palace to enjoy the flowers. Then in these three days, Chen Jiao's maid Hongxing heard a lot of gossip about Liu Heng from other maids of the Marquis' mansion, such as Liu Heng's vengeance, and a maid next to Liu Heng got pregnant because of a secret replacement for the elimination of the corpse and two lives.
All kinds of rumors came over in a short time, but it was at the critical moment when she was about to go to the royal palace. Chen Jiao guessed that someone deliberately wanted to tell her this. Lu Wan, who likes Liu Heng, Lu Huan, who likes her, was worried that she and Liu Heng would ruin the reputation of the prince Lu Yu, who was disgusted with him, because they could not escape these three brothers and sisters.
Chen Jiao wanted to laugh for no reason. The days in the Marquis' Mansion were quite interesting, but they all underestimated her too much. Lu Wan loved Liu Heng's honor, and Chen Jiao didn't care about it.
Three days later, Chen Jiao followed Lu Zhen and Lu Ying to the Qin Prince's Mansion.
The Sixth Girl was polite to them and was not as enthusiastic as the post. On the way to the garden to enjoy the flowers, Liu Heng really appeared and deliberately walked beside Chen Jiao and chatted with her.
Faced with Liu Heng's favor, Chen Jiao always looked respectful and restrained, and Lu Zhen also pretended not to see Liu Heng's desire to be alone with her cousin. She always stayed by her cousin despite the invitation of the Sixth Girl.
Liu Heng did want to get close to Chen Jiao, but firstly, Chen Jiao was still young, he had plenty of time to slowly capture the hearts of the beauty, and secondly, he also relied on his identity and disdained to use despicable means to force Chen Jiao with just a few despicable means as soon as he met. Therefore, Liu Heng just talked with Chen Jiao enthusiastically and did not do any frivolous actions.
After appreciating the flowers, Chen Jiao and her three daughters said goodbye.
Chen Jiao and Lu Zhen each rested without mentioning each other. In the third room, Lu Ying was about to take a break when Lu Wan brought her maid to play with her.
Lu Ying invited the person into the inner room.
Lu Wan politely for a while, then curiously asked about the situation in Prince Lu Ying's mansion.
Lu Ying knew that Lu Wan likes Liu Heng. Who wouldn't want to marry such a noble young man? But Lu Ying knew it herself and never expected that she could snatch her sister, who was the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter. If Lu Wan could marry Liu Heng smoothly, Lu Ying would only envy her. But if Chen Jiao, who was not as good as her, flew on the branch and turned into a phoenix, Lu Ying would not only envy her.
"Second sister, you didn't see it. When we were watching the flowers, the second master was always by my cousin's side, just like the second and fourth brothers. When my cousin asked him to go east, he went east. How could he be as majestic as a prince of the royal family?" Because of jealousy, Lu Ying deliberately added fuel to the fire. It was obviously Liu Heng who was very enthusiastic about Chen Jiao, but she said that Chen Jiao was also deliberately seducing Liu Heng.
Lu Wan rubbed the handkerchief in her hand hatefully.
Lu Ying was happy to watch the show and touched her face. She sighed: "But men like beauty. Who makes her look the best? Only our elder brother, who is rare in a century, will not be confused by beauty."
"So what if she looks good? In terms of identity, how can she compare to us?" Lu Wan finally couldn't help it and said gritting her teeth.
Seeing her angry, Lu Ying hurriedly said nicely and said, "Second sister, don't be angry. Actually, I think you are much better than your cousin. You didn't go today, otherwise you would be able to show off. By the way, the sixth girl also said that we would invite us to watch the dragon boat together during the Dragon Boat Festival. Don't miss the second sister next time."
When Lu Wan heard this, she was happy at first, but then became irritable. Her father was very strict with her. She was not allowed to go this time, and she would definitely not be allowed next time.
She can't go, and if Chen Jiao can't go either, she doesn't have to worry about Liu Heng being stolen by Chen Jiao.
On the way back, Lu Wan was thinking about how to stop Chen Jiao from seeing Liu Heng again.
As she walked, someone called her in front of her. Lu Wan looked up and saw her second brother Lu Huan holding a box in her hand, full of energy.
Lu Wan stopped and asked in confusion: "What is the second brother holding in his hand?"
Lu Huan was about to explain, but remembering that his sister had always been incompatible with her cousin, he ran away.
Lu Wan turned around and looked at the direction of his brother's departure. Finally, she realized that her second brother must have cursed Chen Jiao again!
Lu Wan was so angry that she stamped her feet and couldn't help but complain: "Everyone likes her, what's the point of her?"
Her maid coughed, approached the master and whispered: "Girl, if the second young master can really coax the cousin to like him, the cousin will not go there to flatter him again. You should be happy."
Lu Wan was stunned and looked at her maid in surprise.
Yes, why didn't she expect this? Although she always felt that Chen Jiao was not worthy of her second brother, if her second brother could get rid of Chen Jiao, a strong enemy, Lu Wan would rather take advantage of Chen Jiao and let Chen Jiao be her sister-in-law. Anyway, she will be married in the past two years, and then she will not be upset.
