Maybe, because of the Crown Princess, she wants to see herself? The root is also in Lu Yiqing? Lu Xiaoshu was a little unpredictable.

When they arrived at the private room upstairs of Zhuyun Teahouse, Wang Yihui was already waiting there.

When Lu Xiaoshu and Liao Yuanyuan entered, Lu Xiaoshu immediately noticed two incomparably sharp eyes directed at him, unscrupulous and ostentatious.

She felt a little strange, but she was in a good mood recently, and she didn't bother to bother with her, besides, she still had Liao Yuanyuan's face in her, so she followed Liao Yuanyuan with a low eyebrow and a pleasing expression.

Liao Yuanyuan also noticed Wang Yihui's gaze, and felt slightly unhappy. Not to mention her relationship with Lu Xiaoshu, this person was brought by her, and Wang Yihui's behavior was obviously embarrassing for her.

"Sister Hui'er, I brought Xiaoshu here!" Liao Yuanyuan smiled and took Lu Xiaoshu's arm, she turned to block her calmly, pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Why is Hui'er suddenly so free today?" love?"

Wang Yihui withdrew her gaze from looking at Lu Xiaoshu, smiled lightly, and said: "I have long wanted to meet and talk to the second girl of the Lu family, but unfortunately I am too busy during the first month, and I have never been free! No, it's so easy You have to be free! I also want to thank Sister Liao!"

Liao Yuanyuan smiled lightly and said, "They're all sisters, Hui'er is welcome!"

Wang Yihui smiled sweetly and said to Liao Yuanyuan: "By the way, I seem to have seen Mrs. Fu from your house passing by just now. She must be looking for my sister!"

Liao Yuanyuan knew that she wanted to talk to Lu Xiaoshu alone, which was beyond her expectation, and she hesitated for a while.

Lu Xiaoshu gave her a slight push, and said with a smile, "Sister, go back first! I'll sit with Second Miss Wang."

"That's right, I've heard of Miss Lu's name a long time ago!" Wang Yihui smiled, with contempt in her tone.

Liao Yuanyuan couldn't help but frowned again, and said, "Sister Huier—"

"Sister Liao, you should go back quickly! If you delay your business, how can you feel sorry for it!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed.

"Exactly, that's what I said too!" Wang Yihui smiled faintly.

Liao Yuanyuan took a look at Lu Xiaoshu, nodded her head, and said with a smile, "Then you guys have a good chat, I'm leaving first. Xiaoshu, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled at her and nodded.

After Liao Yuanyuan left, the atmosphere became subtle immediately.

Lu Xiaoshu clearly felt the hostility from Wang Yihui. She couldn't help wondering: When did she offend her

"Second Miss Wang, please speak up if you have anything to do! You don't have to beat around the bush, hurry up." Lu Xiaoshu said lightly.

"Okay, I like this too!" Wang Yihui snorted, stared at Lu Xiaoshu, and asked straightforwardly: "Do you know the backer king?"

Lu Xiaoshu didn't expect that she was asking about Zhou Shizhi, which was beyond her expectation, so she couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "How about knowing? So what if you don't know?"

"Don't play tricks on me!" Wang Yihui snorted, "Tell me, do you know me or not?"

Lu Xiaoshu was also annoyed, his face darkened: "Does it have something to do with you!"

"So we know each other?" Wang Yihui recalled what Lu Yiqing had said to her, and then thought about Zhou Shizhi's indifferent attitude towards her, and couldn't help feeling jealous and hated, and said coldly: "Stay away from him in the future! Yes, never again Don't bother him!"

"Harassment?" Lu Xiaoshu laughed amusedly, "What do you mean?"

"Let's tell you straight!" Wang Yihui also laughed suddenly, and said, "Because I don't like my future husband being involved with other women!"

Even though Lu Xiaoshu knew that Zhou Shizhi would not let her down, he was still irritated by Wang Yihui's "future husband", which made her feel awkward!

Wang Yihui was even more proud, determined to say: "My brother-in-law of the prince and sister of the princess have already told him about this marriage, and he did not refuse! Hmph, so, of course he is my future husband! When he comes back from worshiping the ancestors, Our marriage will be made public! I don't want him to have anything to do with a wild girl like you! It's not good to spread it! And Miss Lu, you have to save face, don't you?"

Lu Xiaoshu's complexion changed, she suddenly remembered what Zhou Shizhi said that night on New Year's Eve, and recalled his strange gentle expression that night, her heart sank little by little.

She suddenly felt that things that had been certain had become less certain.

Also, why did she think that he would remain the same? He tried his best to overturn the case of his late father, but he stayed in the capital to work. It can be seen that the fame and fame belong to him, and he is not dismissive.

What could be faster and more secure than marrying the princess's own sister to rise to the top? The emperor and empress love each other deeply, and the prince can be regarded as capable. It will be a matter of time before he succeeds to the throne!

Besides, the unmarried man and the unmarried woman are of the same family, and the prince personally did the matchmaking for this matter. No matter how you look at it, he has no reason or excuse for refusing.

Unless he wants no official position, no future, hate and anger.

But he clearly said that he would return to Beijing after worshiping the ancestors, that is to say...

Lu Xiaoshu even thought that the reason why the empress wanted to control her own marriage was probably because of the prince...

For the princess's own sister to marry the backer king, it is tantamount to tying the backer king to the prince's boat, earning no compensation!

Wang Yihui was very satisfied to see Lu Xiaoshu's complexion changed drastically, she suddenly felt angry in her heart, lightly pulled a corner of the hem of the skirt, and said calmly: "You just understand! Don't say that you know the backer king in the future. If not! He will be my husband, thinking about what belongs to others is not good for you!"

Lu Xiaoshu knew he shouldn't ask, but couldn't help asking: "Did he really agree to this marriage?"

It seems that there is indeed something tricky between them! Wang Yihui clenched her hands and said with a sneer, "Do you think he has reason to refuse?"

Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled involuntarily. Yeah, if he refused, why didn't he tell himself? Even if you don't tell yourself, you won't be so calm.

Offending the crown prince is no small matter...

Lu Xiaoshu got up abruptly, and said coldly: "Since that's the case, then please take care of your future husband! The legs grow on him, so I don't care where he goes!"

"What do you mean!" Wang Yihui opened her eyes wide and said coldly, "Are you going against me?"

Lu Xiaoshu snorted, "Can't you understand people's words? If you can't stand him, it can only show that you are incompetent!" After she finished speaking, she strode out, and Wang Yihui yelled behind her. When I didn't hear it.

Because of this incident, Lu Xiaoshu's mood suddenly became bad, and it wasn't until Lu Qi went to Beijing to meet her siblings that her mood improved again.

Over the years, in order to find the two missing girls, Lu Qi joined the family and became a policeman. He has developed a good ability to track and find people.

This time he came to Beijing, according to his original intention, he also wanted to enter the Yamen and continue to be a fast catcher. However, Lu Zhong's identity has been made public, and it is not a decent job to be a public servant, so Lu Qi has to reluctantly give up. He agreed to Lu Zhong's study in Taixue, and then joined Qiu Wei and Chun Wei to seek serious official positions.

At the end of January, a mutiny broke out among the northern frontier guards whose salaries were withheld, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

Because of the performance of the prince on the night of Wugonghou's rebellion, Emperor Xiangqing has always been indifferent and dissatisfied. He has been very indifferent to him for such a long time. This time such a big case broke out. Emperor Xiangqing wanted to win back his favor, and when he heard that the fourth prince was going to request the trial of this case, he took the initiative to ask Ying in front of Emperor Xiangqing, expressing that he would definitely try this case to the bottom.

Emperor Xiangqing agreed.

The prince was very motivated, and together with the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he thoroughly investigated the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts and the relevant personnel of the Ministry of War, and was often busy until midnight without rest.

Half a month later, the case gradually came to light, and the crown prince couldn't wait to report the details to Emperor Xiangqing. Seeing that he was really doing things in a down-to-earth manner this time, Emperor Xiangqing was also very happy in his heart, well done He praised the prince and ordered him to continue the investigation.

The prince was overjoyed, he respectfully accepted the order, and became more energetic.

One day, the prince was busy in the yamen of the household department, Xiao Lianzi came to invite him suddenly, saying that the princess had something important to do and asked him to go back.

The prince knew the concubine's temper, if he didn't go back, she would definitely send people to invite him again and again, causing endless trouble, so he simply explained the matter and went back to the palace.

Once back to the East Palace, I saw the princess sitting leisurely in the warm pavilion drinking tea, and the little eunuch was pinching her shoulders and beating her legs, so I really enjoyed it. When she came back, she only called out "Prince" with a smile and didn't say she got up to serve herself.

The crown prince felt that this scene was very glaring, and he felt a little unhappy, so he sat down and said, "What's the important thing for you to come back from looking for Gu, tell me quickly! There are still many things to be busy with Gu!"

"Of course I'm looking for something important!" The princess's eyes were bright, she raised her hand and waved away the little eunuch who was beating his legs and shoulders, and said with a smile: "Prince, I heard that the backer king has returned to Beijing for a few days. no?"

The prince was startled when he heard that, and asked, "You called Gu back to ask this?"

"Yes!" The princess laughed.

"Bastard!" The prince couldn't help being furious, he slapped the table a few times and got up and said: "Do you know that Gu is so busy recently that you don't even have time to eat and sleep, how dare you entertain the Gu Wang! Gu sees that you, the princess, are too idle! "

"Prince!" The concubine couldn't help being wronged, "You haven't listened to the concubine's words! Now that the backer king has returned to Beijing, shouldn't he formally mention his marriage with Hui'er! Isn't this a serious matter? What? It's not easy to rely on the king of the mountain, he made the first contribution in the rebellion! Don't say that he will be reused in front of the father, even this ability is worth wooing! Now that he has returned from worshiping his ancestors, let's talk about it Isn't it just right? Long nights and dreams are always bad. What if the fourth brother is one step ahead? Besides, it's just a matter of one sentence, how much time can it delay the crown prince? I'm not just doing this for my natal sister , and even more for the crown prince!"
