Concubine Wang took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Don't you think this is strange today? Why is it not too early or too late, but at this time Princess Qinglan and Miss Liao are here! The concubine looks at this matter That's weird! They did it on purpose—to lose face to the East Palace!"
The Crown Princess couldn't help being annoyed by what she said, and said: "Then you go and find out, how did they know that Lu Xiaoshu is in the East Palace!"
The side concubine Wang respectfully agreed, seeing that the crown princess had no other indications, she had no choice but to back down unhappily.
After Lu Xiaoshu, Princess Qinglan, Liao Yuanyuan, Du Juan and others left the East Palace, Lu Xiaoshu finally breathed a sigh of relief: Today's luck is really great!
"How is it? The princess and the sisters didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Liao Yuanyuan asked hastily.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled at her, and was about to speak when Princess Qinglan laughed and said, "The two sisters seem to be full of bad water at first glance, so it's no wonder why you are embarrassed! But, you have more bad water in your belly than them, Thinking about it, I can handle it!"
Liao Yuanyuan, Du Juan, Hong E, etc. couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing when they heard this, and Lu Xiaoshu himself laughed "puchi".
"I'm almost overwhelmed. Fortunately, you and Sister Liao went, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I haven't thanked you yet! But how do you know that I am in the East Palace? ?”
"We are all sisters, what is there to thank? Besides, I don't care for verbal thanks!" Princess Qinglan laughed.
Everyone laughed again.
Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said: "Yes, yes, since when did I just say thank you verbally? Naturally, I should treat you to dinner! The chief of the county thanked you very much, wine is indispensable! Don't stop drinking, Otherwise, I’m in a hurry with you! But, you haven’t told me yet, how did you know?”
Princess Qinglan smiled and said, "You have to thank Sister Liao very much for this! She told me, otherwise how would I know!"
Liao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "I was going to find you in Japan today, but I happened to see the carriage of the East Palace and the little eunuch at the door of your house, so I knew it. I think you should not be willing to go to the East Palace, it's just me People couldn't get in, so I went to Princess Qinglan again!"
It was only then that Lu Xiaoshu suddenly realized: "So that's it! Good sister, today is really thanks to you!" Otherwise, I would really be in trouble!
"Then how are you going to thank me so special?" Liao Yuanyuan asked with a smile.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, so lively.
Besides, in the East Palace, if there are more women, all kinds of intrigues are inevitable, especially the crown princess is too domineering and has a weird temper. All the beauties have suffered in front of her, but the deep hatred is unthinkable.
When someone saw Lu Xiaoshu coming today, his heart moved, and he secretly sent someone to try to inform the third prince and show his intentions in front of the third prince.
The story that the third prince confronted the crown princess for Lu Xiaoshu's sake was spread all over the palace, and everyone in the East Palace naturally knew that after those beauties entered the East Palace, how could they not inquire about the crown prince and the crown princess? Once you come and go, everyone will know.
So, today someone wanted to borrow the hands of the third prince to make another big fuss.
Those who tried to pass the news to the third prince took a little trouble, but the third prince was indeed taken aback when he heard it, and rushed to the East Palace in a hurry.
Although Lu Xiaoshu made it clear that he didn't want to marry him, he was also unwilling to let him watch her suffer.
The Crown Princess doesn't like Lu Xiaoshu, and the Third Prince knows it well.
When the third prince rushed to the gate of the East Palace in a hurry, he happened to see Princess Qinglan, Liao Yuanyuan and Lu Xiaoshu coming out of it.
The third prince was both rejoiced and a little secretly disappointed: fortunately, she was fine, but was disappointed because he was not the one who saved her, and he missed an opportunity to appear in front of her in an open and honest manner.
Because he was standing in the dark, the third prince looked at Lu Xiaoshu with some unscrupulous eyes, and he did not hide the affection in his eyes.
It wasn't until Lu Xiaoshu and the others got into the carriage and left without a trace that the third prince sighed lightly and looked away disappointedly.
After taking it back, the third prince realized that the prince was standing beside him with his hands behind his back smiling, he was startled, he hurriedly took two steps back and said in surprise: "Prince, prince!"
"Hehe!" The prince laughed, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, but hated him to death in his heart. There is no other reason, the father has already started to use him, and he actually arranged for him to work in the official department, and he often praises him these days!
For the crown prince, this is simply a warning from his father! In other words, father is dissatisfied with himself!
The bad thing is that the queen mother is not allowed to touch him.
"What? You like that girl from the Lu family? You have a good eye!" the prince said with a smile.
The third prince blushed, he hesitated and hurriedly looked away. Being caught by the crown prince, he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
Seeing his embarrassment and embarrassment, the prince laughed out loud. Suddenly, his heart moved: If he hurriedly married a princess, a newlywed, wouldn't his thoughts be on the court...
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. Seeing the third prince's smile became more cordial, he said with a smile: "This is a good thing, what's there to be embarrassed about? The lonely king sees that you should marry a princess too!"
"If you are embarrassed, the lonely king will help you tell the queen mother about this!" The prince laughed.
"No, no! I still don't need it!" The third prince hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince, I still don't need it!"
"Why?" The prince was surprised.
He could clearly see that the third prince really liked that girl from the Lu family, and he should be overjoyed to hear this!
The third prince couldn't resist the prince's questioning, so he had to smile wryly: "She doesn't want to marry me..."
What's the reason? The prince thought it was funny when he heard this!
As long as there is an imperial edict from the royal family, it's up to her whether she likes it or not!
"As long as you like it!" The prince smiled and said, "When she becomes your person, she will naturally like you!"
"No!" The third prince hurriedly said: "Prince, please don't! She, she doesn't like it, and I don't, I don't want to embarrass her."
In the eyes of the prince, this is simply an excuse!
The more he said that, the more the prince would of course match up. It would be best for the two of them to stay and fly together, so as not to cause trouble for him all the time!
"You, just wait to be the bridegroom's official! Hehe, the lonely king begged his mother for a decree to give him a marriage. This is a great dignity, and she will definitely like it!" the prince laughed.
He said this sentence very sincerely and very confidently.
"It's really unnecessary, prince!" The third prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a wry smile: "My mother also said a while ago that she would betroth her to me as a side concubine, but I don't want to marry her as a side concubine, I can't wrong her..."
"It turns out that she is playing petty-" the prince was about to make fun of a few words, but suddenly stopped, raised his eyes to look at him and said in surprise: "What? The queen mother said-promise her to you, side concubine?"
The third prince didn't notice the strangeness of the prince, he was immersed in his distress at this time, so he sighed and nodded, "Yes!"
The prince's expression was already very reluctant, but the third prince who was immersed in his own thoughts didn't feel it.
"It turns out that the queen mother has already told you." The prince smiled, and said with a casual smile: "This is strange, why did the queen mother tell you this so well?"
The third prince looked at the prince strangely when he heard the words, and felt that the prince's question was strange.
After a pause, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Perhaps the queen mother thinks that I should get married... Prince, you also know that I will open a government office and build a mansion soon."
"It's true!" The crown prince laughed again, and said with a smile: "Look, the lonely king, the queen mother should even point out the concubine Zheng for you, did the queen mother say which girl to point to?"
The third prince was startled, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "This queen mother didn't mention it."
"Since this is the case, and you like the second daughter of the Lu family so much, why don't you just ask your mother to make her your concubine only, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" The prince laughed again.
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: Yes, although the queen said that Lu Xiaoshu would be his side concubine, she didn't say who would be the main concubine! Maybe she didn't know what she wanted to do that way? If she knows, maybe she will fulfill herself...
The third prince couldn't help being excited.
However, thinking of the determined tone and unquestionable expression when the queen mentioned this matter that day, the third prince immediately became discouraged again.
Based on his intuition, he could feel that the empress only wanted Xiao Shu to be his side concubine, that's all!
The prince observed his changing expression calmly, and sneered secretly in his heart: Could it be that you are still pretending to be married to someone with real power? It's impossible to find a powerful Yue family!
The prince wanted to run on him with words.
Then he smiled and said, "What? Are you unwilling to talk about it? Could it be that you already have a favorite concubine candidate in your heart?"
"No, no!" The third prince's heart skipped a beat, and he repeatedly shook his head in denial. He only has Lu Xiaoshu as a woman in his heart, so what other so-called candidates are there
"Is it because you don't want to say it, or is there no candidate for the concubine?" Seeing that he just answered "no", the prince decided that he was playing sloppy with himself, so he asked again with a smile—he insisted on telling him clearly, don't Disgusting man with half yin and half yang!
"I—" the third prince lowered his head and said softly: "I didn't pay attention to other women, but the queen mother would not agree, I'm afraid it would be useless if I said it!"
The third prince sighed in disappointment.
The prince laughed and said: "You haven't even tried it, how do you know that the queen mother will not agree? If you don't dare, or I will ask you for you?"
The third prince's eyes lit up immediately, a little hope was ignited in his pupils, and he looked at the prince expectantly.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If the prince is willing to help, it is really, really great!"
"It's just a little effort, we don't need so much courtesy between brothers!" The prince laughed, and patted his shoulder affectionately, thinking that no matter what you said is true or false, the lonely king will definitely make it happen. !
Although at this time, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
