Although he was sad at first, and had lost the impassioned spirit he had just shown in front of his parents, and felt frustrated that no matter how he jumped, he could not escape the palm of Tathagata, but Lu Sanlang's greatest strength was that he did not dwell on trivial matters, and his emotions came and went quickly. When he heard Zhang Shou say that he would go to the Liu family with his father to propose marriage tomorrow, he was immediately delighted.
"Luckily I met him tonight, otherwise I would be in the dark and might even have rebellious thoughts! And if I hadn't been there, maybe the fourth young lady of the Liu family would have run into the second prince, and then there might not be a kind-hearted man like me to come to the rescue!"
Seeing the complacent Lu Sanlang again, Zhang Shou couldn't help wanting to poke the fat boy's face to see if his skin was as thick as a pig's. Thinking about how Lu Sanlang had protested before that people shouldn't be hit in the face, he gave up the idea and changed the subject thoughtfully: "But since your father arranged for me to stay with you, I also happen to need your help with something important."
If someone else were to suddenly interrupt them with something serious while they were enjoying their sweet dreams, they would definitely feel uncomfortable and keep complaining. However, Lu Sanlang immediately perked up, rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Young Master, have you come up with any other clues? Tell me quickly, and I'll help you think about it and try to find a solution tonight!"
Then tomorrow morning he can go to Jiuzhang Hall to show off his abilities as the head monk!
Zhang Shou couldn't help but tap the fat boy on the forehead, then lowered his voice and said, "You go to see the Weinan Earl, and it would be best if you can see if Ah Liu has returned from the Liu family, and ask him to go with you. You stood up to the Second Prince in the street today, and you have to be careful that someone will get angry and do something to you. When you see the Weinan Earl, ask him about this matter first..."
When Lu Sanlang excitedly slipped out of his courtyard to look for Ah Liu, the empress dowager in Qingning Palace, who usually went to bed early and got up early, did not go to bed early for the first time. Because just after the Qingning Gate was locked, the emperor suddenly knocked on the door with Zhu Ying. This granddaughter whom she always liked was hiding behind the emperor, as if she was afraid to face her because she had caused trouble.
The Queen Mother had long been accustomed to Zhu Ying's occasional trouble-making, and at this moment she was too lazy to get down from bed. She ordered the female official Yuquan to put a large pillow behind her, and she leaned there and asked unhappily, "Yingying, tell me, what trouble have you caused again?"
"It's not me who caused the trouble!" Zhu Ying poked her head out from behind the emperor with confidence, and then she coughed dryly and said, "But it has something to do with me!"
"It doesn't matter. You wouldn't go to the palace to see the emperor in the middle of the night, and then come to see me!"
Although she looked angry, the empress dowager didn't take it too seriously. Because the emperor was still smiling at this time, it shouldn't be a big deal. Sure enough, she only heard Zhu Ying say seriously next: "Lu Sanlang was worried that his father would mess up the relationship, so he anxiously begged Ah Shou to find me to find a suitable match for him. It just so happened that the fourth daughter of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Works was quite interested in him, so I helped to make some connections."
"It was definitely not a private transaction, but a public meeting between the two of us."
The Queen Mother knew that Zhu Ying was just a bitch, but she wouldn't talk nonsense about such an important matter. She glared at her angrily and said, "You've been bad because you often hang out with your third aunt! It's nothing, it's just a small encounter, it's not a big deal..."
