Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously wanted to run away. As soon as she moved her body, she was grabbed by a big palm, and her slender waist was imprisoned.
"Where are you going?" The man couldn't laugh or cry, "I haven't seen you for a few months, so we don't know each other?"
Miss Xiao rubbed her nose, feeling guilty for some reason, raised her eyes to meet the man's, and smiled, "Why didn't you say hello when you came here suddenly, I should have prepared early to pick you up."
Zhao Zun caressed Xiao Concubine's exquisite and charming face lightly, and said in a bad mood, "I see that you are clearly reluctant to leave, no one controls you, you are carefree all day long, and your life is chic."
Zhao Zun rested one hand on the back of his head, and moved her body forward, so that Xiao Concubine's body lay on his chest, and his eyes met.
Xiao Concubine's eyes are shining like stars, and if you look more often, you will be drawn in.
Seeing that he was smiling, Miss Xiao's fear disappeared a lot, so she simply relaxed her hand and lay on him directly.
"I'm in Quanzhou alone, and I'm not familiar with the place. Although the yard is nice, it's boring to stay here, so I went out for a stroll."
Xiao Yu's red lips curled up, and her two small hands clasped the big palm tightly to play, interspersed the little finger between the thumbs and shuttled back and forth.
Zhao Zun also let her play with her, and stared at the slender white fingers in his palm casually. Hearing what she said, no matter how angry Zhao Zun was, he felt sorry for her being bored alone in Quanzhou.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the red sleeve outside the door whisper, "Miss, Mr. Lu is asking to see you outside the door."
Hearing that Concubine Xiao propped up half of her body, Zhao Zun frowned tightly, holding Xiao Concubine tightly with her palms, and Concubine Xiao glared at Zhao Zun, "Quickly let go, maybe there is something..."
Zhao Zun raised his eyebrows and raised his voice outside, "What is he here for?"
When Hongxiu heard it, there was indeed movement inside, glanced at Qing Yu who was opposite, and secretly thought that Lu Sheng came at the wrong time.
Hong Xiu settled down, "Go back to Miss, Mr. Lu said... that the house is not very safe, there are suspicious people coming and going, so come and see."
Zhao Zun snorted coldly, hugged Concubine Xiao and didn't let go, "I've become a suspicious person, Xiaojiu. It's only been a few days, and I've been missed by others. In the past, my father-in-law took care of me, and no one dared to hit her." Your idea, now you are left alone, I am really worried."
Zhao Zun had this idea before he came, but now that someone has come to him, his idea is even more determined.
"Xiyue is much more lively than Quanzhou city. As before, I will find you a house with an elegant environment, so that you can feel at ease under my nose."
Xiao Concubine covered her mouth and smiled, "Do you want to come to a golden house to hide your beauty? You are His Highness the Prince of Xiyue. I went to Xiyue and became an ordinary citizen. In Quanzhou City, I am also under Dongming's feet. No matter what, I am also a Princess, I can't stand the anger of anyone who dares to point fingers at me when I go to Xiyue!"
The smile in Zhao Zun's eyes deepened, and he took a deep breath, "It smells like jealousy, Xiao Jiu is jealous?"
The prince of Xiyue's concubine was not hidden from Miss Xiao. When she found out about it, the two maids tried to persuade her, but she didn't take it seriously at all. She shrugged and said that she should eat and drink without any delay. .
Now that he saw the righteous master, he became hypocritical.
Xiao Concubine squinted at Zhao Zun angrily, "Why am I angry, I promised you at the beginning, if you want to take a concubine and marry a beautiful woman, I will not stop you, you are a prince and you should have countless concubines."
Zhao Zun frowned, feeling something was wrong, only to hear Xiao Concubine's arrogant face, "I'm a princess, so it stands to reason that a princess can choose a son-in-law, and she can raise a few in the mansion..."
As he said that, Zhao Zun's face turned completely dark, and the cold air swished all over his body, Xiao Concubine shrank her neck, and swallowed the first three words of nourishing face.
"It's too courageous to come out, who told you this?" Zhao Zun squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice, whoever dares to say something nonsense in front of Xiao Concubine, Zhao Zun will never forgive him!
Concubine Xiao snorted, "Why, you are only allowed to take concubines and see a room full of beauties, but I can't?"
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!" Zhao Zun said with a straight face, "You must not mention this again in the future. It's been almost two years. Can't you feel how I treat you? Besides, I don't care about being the prince. In the future, I will rely on the princess to take care of me a lot.”
Xiao Yu heard the first half of the sentence, her eyes were red, she was wronged, she came all the way to Quanzhou City, but she was reprimanded, she was wronged.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he let out a chuckle, and looked at Zhao Zun annoyed, "It's not too bad, I can't rub the sand in my eyes, and I don't like to see those enchanting aunts, it's disgusting, you don't want to trick me into marrying Entering the mansion, if I am old and ugly, and you find someone young and beautiful to anger me, I will set fire to the yard and leave with a burden on my back.
Hearing her say so much, Zhao Zun's complexion softened a lot, and he couldn't help leaning forward and kissing Xiao Concubine's white, tender and translucent cheeks, with a deep and hoarse voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's still the same sentence. Since I said it, I will definitely do it. I won't let you down."
Zhao Zun found out that Xiao Concubine seemed to have grown a lot taller after not seeing each other for a few months, and her face became brighter and more eye-catching.
"Xiao Jiu, after this busy time is over, let's get married, no matter what big things happen in the future?"
Zhao Zun wanted Xiao Concubine to be by his side in an open and honest way, without those constraints, unfettered, regardless of status, and stay together for a lifetime.
Concubine Xiao blushed, and murmured in a low voice, "You begged my father to send me to Quanzhou?"
Zhao Zun shook his head, the right minister is worthy of being the right minister, he is reasonable and open-minded, when he learned that Concubine Xiao was sent, Zhao Zun was ecstatic.
While the two were talking, Hong Xiu cleared his throat again, and called out under tremendous pressure, "Miss..."
It was only then that Miss Xiao remembered that Lu Sheng was still outside the door, with one hand on Zhao Zun's chest, "I'll go out and see what's going on?"
Zhao Zun raised his lips, "What else can happen, Lu Sheng is not a nosy person, don't let him in in the future."
Seeing that he didn't let go, Concubine Xiao was anxious and ashamed, and begged for a long time, Zhao Zun was even more impatient with the dawdling, hugged Concubine Xiao and kissed and kissed again and again, but refused to let go.
In the end, Concubine Xiao got annoyed, and stretched out her hand to pinch Zhao Zun's waist. Zhao Zun felt the pain, so he let go.
"It's not as complicated as you think. He is the prefect of Quanzhou, and I am the newly appointed princess. If I make a mistake, he will also be responsible."
Xiao Yu didn't think much about it, after all, she and Lu Sheng had only met twice.
Zhao Zun saw that her eyes were clear and bright, and she was full of wit, and looked at Xiao Yu resentfully, "Then you go and come back quickly, just send it off early, this Master Lu is very popular in Quanzhou City, just I'm afraid that someone with a heart will use you as a raft and cause unnecessary trouble."
Xiao Yu bit her lip tightly and nodded, "Don't worry, I understand."
After Xiao Concubine left, Zhao Zun sighed and lay down on the couch with half-closed eyes in thought.
When I went to the garden of the hall, I saw Lu Sheng standing in the pavilion with a straight figure, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind the quilt, Lu Sheng retracted his gaze, looked up at the person who came, Xiao Concubine had changed into a blue long gown, and the pearl hairpin jewelry on her head had also changed into a simple waving, her temples were slightly pulled back, her eyes There was still a hint of shyness in her eyes, and her red lips became more gorgeous.
Look, it seems that something is different. Lu Sheng was surprised when he entered the yard. The pavilions, towers and pavilions are all carefully crafted, and all the high-quality materials are used, which is much better than that of the Lu family.
The ones that Xiao Concubine wears are even more impressive, but a delicate person like Xiao Concubine naturally wants to use the best ones.
"Lord Lu..." Miss Xiao called softly before Lu Sheng came back to his senses and cleared his throat, "Miss Xiao, I just patrolled the surrounding area and found a lot of suspicious people, so I came to the house to investigate, but I don't know Xiao Can the girl find anything wrong?"
Concubine Xiao was puzzled, "What suspicious person did Mr. Lu find?"
"There are a few who don't look like Dong Mingren appeared in Quanzhou last night, they should be from Xiyue." Lu Sheng guessed.
Xiao Yu smiled, "Master Lu is too worried, there is no suspicious person in my house, and the house is strictly guarded, no one else will get in, please write more about Master Lu's kindness."
Lu Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this. For some reason, he always felt that Miss Xiao was in a hurry to leave, as if she was meeting someone, and subconsciously blurted out.
"Is there any distinguished guest at Miss Xiao's house?"
Concubine Xiao frowned, and glanced at Lu Sheng, "I'm not familiar with the place in Quanzhou City, who can I know, Mr. Lu is too worried."
For the rest, Xiao Concubine refused to mention it again, at most she admired Lu Sheng, appreciated his integrity and fairness, that's all.
Seeing that she was very determined, Lu Sheng also suspected that he was overthinking. He hurriedly said, "I'm being reckless. Since Miss Xiao is fine, I'll take a step ahead. If there is anything you need, Miss Xiao just mention it."
Concubine Xiao nodded, and asked the servant girl to send Lu Sheng away.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Concubine was picked up in the air, and with a cry of surprise, Xiao Concubine subconsciously hugged Zhao Zun's neck, only after a dizzy turn did he come back to his senses, and glared at Zhao Zun, "What's wrong!"
Zhao Zun shrugged, "I should leave in a while. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Xiaojiu, you can come to Xiyue after I find a good place. I don't worry about leaving you here alone."
Concubine Xiao nodded indiscriminately, Zhao Zun finally smiled, touched Concubine Xiao's cheek, "You're so cute!"
Zhao Zun was reluctant to let go, and the two dawdled for a while. Before leaving, Zhao Zun handed Xiao Concubine a brocade box of silver needles.
"Turn back and ask Qingyu to teach you self-defense. The silver needles are so small that you won't be able to detect them even if they penetrate into the bone marrow. Don't bear with being bullied."
This silver needle was specially made by Zhao Zun. It was even smaller than usual, as thin as a hair, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
Xiao Concubine was really interested, and took the brocade box with a smile, "Success, I'll practice hard later."
Zhao Zun gave the instructions over and over again, and he left with a sigh until Concubine Xiao urged her.
On the way, Zhao Zun met Lu Sheng's guards who stopped him. Zhao Zun twitched his lips and quickly got rid of Lu Sheng's guards.
"My lord, the opponent's people are all elite secret guards, we are invincible at all."
One of the leading guards said that if the group of people had the intention to kill, they might not have a chance to survive. They were like ghosts, they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and they knew that they had undergone special training as soon as they touched them.
Lu Sheng squeezed his eyes tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Go back, from now on all government guards must be trained strictly."
Quanzhou City has always been very peaceful. Since Concubine Xiao came, there was a mysterious force, which made Lu Sheng feel powerless for the first time.
"yes!"
When Lu Sheng returned to the mansion, the old lady Lu greeted her, "Sheng'er, is this marriage in the Liu family really over? Miss Liu is both talented and beautiful, and she is one of the best in Quanzhou City. You are not young anymore. Do you still miss that woman?"
As soon as the old lady Lu mentioned Ling Wanyue, she became furious, "Sheng'er, don't be confused, how Ling Wanyue humiliated you back then, now that I think of you, I will never allow her to enter the mansion! "
What was the old lady Lu still talking about, Lu Sheng said directly, "Mother, you misunderstood, my son would rather be alone for the rest of his life than marry a daughter from the Ling family. How his father died, my son remembers it clearly."
The old lady Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Then Miss Liu..."
"Mother, Ms. Liu has a bad character, and Mrs. Liu is not easy to get along with. She beat up Miss Biao who lives in Liu's house in front of everyone. Poor Ms. Biao is lonely and helpless..." Lu Sheng paused after finishing speaking, looking Mrs. Lu said, "My son just wants to find a simple woman to spend his whole life with."
The old lady Lu sighed when she heard the words, "Sheng'er, you are not young, so you can't delay any longer. Although Mrs. Liu has some flaws, Miss Liu may not be the same as Mrs. Liu. My mother has met her several times. She is cute and very clever. intelligent."
In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, Lu Sheng is the best. She also wants to choose a daughter-in-law with a good family background and temperament. Unfortunately, Lu Sheng is too old to allow her to pick and choose. The only wish of Mrs. Lu It is to be able to see Lu Sheng marry a wife and have children.
Lu Sheng fell silent.
"Sheng'er, it's not that your mother is forcing you. Your mother's body is getting worse day by day. Maybe one day she will die as soon as she kicks her legs. How do you want your mother to face the ancestors of the Lu family?"
Old lady Lu's eyes were moist. Old man Lu didn't see Lu Sheng marrying his wife when he was dying. Old lady Lu didn't want to die with such regret.
At this time, the servant hurried over, "My lord, this is the jade ring that you left behind in another courtyard, Miss Xiao sent someone to bring it back just now."
Before Lu Sheng could speak, Mrs. Lu immediately grasped the sensitive words, "Miss Xiao? Which Miss Xiao, there seems to be no girl surnamed Xiao in Quanzhou City?"
Lu Sheng stretched out his hand to take the jade jue, and held it tightly in his palm. His eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He waved his hand at the servant before answering the old lady Lu's question.
"Miss Xiao has a noble status, and her son is only ordered to protect her, and has no other relationship."
Knowing the son is like the mother, when Lu Sheng was talking, the old lady Lu kept staring at Lu Sheng, seeing him talking about Miss Xiao, her eyes softened a little, and she knew what her son was thinking.
The old lady Lu smiled. It was rare to see Lu Sheng look like this. Ever since Mr. Lu passed away, Lu Sheng rarely smiled and devoted himself to official duties all day long.
As a mother, she could only be anxious and distressed. It was rare to meet a good girl at the moment, and Mrs. Lu became more and more curious.
"Mother, my son still has official duties, so let's go first."
Lu Sheng really didn't know how to face Mrs. Lu, so he turned his head and left the Lu's house. The smile on Mrs. Lu's face became brighter and brighter.
"Sheng'er is finally enlightened, God bless, thank God..." Mrs. Lu clasped her hands together, praying for something non-stop.
As soon as this Lu Sheng stepped out of Lu's house, the other figure rushed out, "Master Lu, my lady invites you to go to the gazebo in the western suburbs courtyard."
The smile on Lu Sheng's face faded away, and he glanced at the maid, "I'm back to your lady, if it's a business matter, just go and beat the drums to complain, but if it's a private matter, if the man and the woman don't get along, I'm afraid it will delay your lady's reputation."
Lu Sheng raised his foot to leave, but the little girl didn't get annoyed, and ran after her, "Master Lu, my lady said that this is the last time we meet. In view of our past relationship, Master Lu can't just leave me alone."
Saying that, the maid handed Lu Sheng a pearl hairpin in her hand, which Lu Sheng had given to Ling Wanyue back then.
Seeing this hairpin again now, Lu Sheng felt very ironic, raised his eyebrows and squinted at the little maid, "I'm going back to your lady, I'll talk about it after I finish my business."
After all, Lu Sheng strode away without looking back.
The little maid was overjoyed, she turned her head and ran away holding her skirt.
A woman in the gazebo walked back and forth anxiously, looking around from time to time, and seeing no one coming, she became even more annoyed and anxious.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Ling Wanyue's anxious heart was almost jumping in her throat. It was time to throw hydrangea tomorrow, she didn't want to marry someone who did nothing.
Among the young talents right now, Lu Sheng is considered top-notch. If she can be the prefect's wife, Ling Wanyue will be content for the rest of her life.
