After being speechless for a long time, Lu Mingwei suddenly said: "Do you know that the Crown Prince of Prince Kang's Palace came to the palace yesterday to ask to marry Princess Anle?"
Lu Zhishan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I learned about this today. I am really afraid that my father intends to grant the request of the young prince, so I rashly entered the palace today without asking for permission, and asked my father to punish me." ”
Lu Mingwei asked again: "Does that girl know how happy you are?"
Lu Zhishan shook his head and said: "When I went back to my father, I never made it clear to the princess. The princess has always abided by etiquette. I was afraid that the princess would be separated from me because of this. But now, my son I don’t care about anything else.”
Lu Mingwei glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Back then, you were bedridden due to an emergency, so I didn't give you Princess Korea. Now that I think about it, you were really very ill at that time."
Lu Zhishan shook his head in panic and said hurriedly: "How dare I pretend to be sick to deceive my father? My father knew clearly that my son was indeed suffering from an emergency at that time. All the doctors from the imperial hospital can testify that my son later raised nearly 100 children." It took a year to slowly recover. I have always been ashamed of my father. Over the years, I have been living in seclusion and dare not enter the palace. I only want to make my father less angry. How can I dare to deceive my father? Father’s advice!”
Lu Mingwei looked at the sweat on Lu Zhishan's forehead due to fear and anxiety, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "You are not young anymore, and there has never been anyone around you. Princess Ning is indeed shameless, but now Anle's reputation is affected by Princess Heshuo. You are the eldest son of a noble family. If you marry Anle, wouldn't it be criticized? "
"Father, I know that my son has been fighting in the southern border for more than ten years. He is exhausted physically and mentally. Now he only wants to be stable and peaceful. He just wants to marry the princess and go back and live a down-to-earth life. He doesn't care about anything else," Lu Zhishan He said anxiously, while adding, "Although the princess is in an embarrassing situation now, she is still the niece of her father. Now that the princess is involved in the affairs of the Beidi royal family, the princess's marriage is even more eye-catching. Now the outside world does not know How many people are watching? If the father promises the princess to his son, it will naturally stop everyone from talking and show the father's wisdom and kindness. "
Lu Mingwei closed the tea lid and said to Lu Zhishan after a while: "You should get up first."
Lu Zhishan hesitated and said: "Father, then..."
"It's almost the end of the year. Let's wait until next spring for the wedding." Lu Mingwei said.
Lu Zhishan was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Father, for your grace."
"When you get married, you have to keep your temper. You are the eldest son of the emperor, so you should behave like the eldest son of the emperor." Lu Mingwei said calmly.
"Yes, yes, my father taught me, and I will obey my orders." Lu Zhishan said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go back."
"Yes, I will retire."
After kneeling on the ground for a long time, Lu Zhishan found it difficult to get up. He stood up with his hands on the ground, then bowed and walked out, his legs lame even worse than when he came in.
Lu Mingwei watched Lu Zhishan retreat. He stared at the bright yellow door curtain until the door curtain was opened and Zhao Ruhai came in with a tray.
Zhao Ruhai carefully placed the bean green glazed ice-cracked porcelain bowl on the tray on the table and said respectfully: "Long live my Lord, you have been approving the discounts for so long. Let's have a bowl of Bird's Nest and Eight Immortals Soup first."
Lu Mingwei did not touch the bowl of Bird's Nest and Eight Immortals Soup. He looked at the two shallow pits left by Lu Zhishan's knees on the carpet and said slowly: "Ruhai, do you think Prince Ning has any objections?"
