"Ah!" Jiang Yijia immediately covered her mouth and said in annoyance, "I'm so sorry, I've never met Mr. Lu."
Immediately afterwards, Prince Ning stood up, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu has a lot of people. My sister is young and has never seen you before, so I misunderstood you."
As soon as Prince Ning opened his mouth, Jiang Dejia wanted to scold him but had no chance to speak.
However, Jiang Yuancheng came out to speak: "Your Highness Prince Ning, Yi Jia is my younger sister, but she is indeed not young. To scold Miss Wen in public and slander Mr. Lu like this, for an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would be dragged down." , it seems that Concubine Li did not teach her well."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, it seems that the mother and concubine have neglected their duties?" Prince Ning narrowed his eyes, and there was a smell of gunpowder when he spoke.
Jiang Yuancheng smiled: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is overly concerned. I just said this. After all, the grand princess, Yi Jia, is only Dejia. In less than a year, Dejia can take the place of Concubine Wei to entertain guests. Yi Jia No matter what, Jia Zai should never accuse people casually."
"You are deliberately trying to sow discord between Yijia and Dejia!" Jiang Yuanan knew that Jiang Yuancheng was unkind, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn this time.
Seeing that they were still arguing, Jiang Dejia had to stand up: "Two royal brothers, please stop arguing. It's all my fault. I should have let sister Yijia see Mr. Lu earlier."
After comforting the people here, Jiang Dejia went to Wen Qingzhu and Lu Ce and said, "It's Dejia who didn't take good care of me. Please forgive me."
Lu Ce immediately put away his purse and helped Jiang Dejia up with his own hands: "Your Highness, you're welcome. It's just a small misunderstanding. It's nothing."
After this back and forth, everyone gave Jiang Dejia a lot of face and turned around to go back.
Not long after he sat down, Yang Dong came back happily and was about to tell his master the good news, but before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yijia's voice next door.
"Master Fu and Wen Qingzhu have given Mr. Lu a purse, don't you care at all?"
Yang Dong was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lu Ce and found that Wen Qingzhu was actually sitting next to him.
He quickly turned around to see his master's expression. He still had the same paralyzed expression, with no hint of dissatisfaction.
But Fu Lie's hand didn't stop, and he kept drinking one cup after another.
Brother Lei Yan and Liang Pingshu came over together. As soon as they entered the room, they saw what Wen Qingzhu said, and Lu Ce couldn't stop smiling.
The three of them immediately turned around and looked at Fu Lie, and found that they were looking at Wen Qingzhu with their eyes, nose, and heart. They were not looking at Wen Qingzhu at all, but were drinking alone.
"Oh my god!" Lei Yan quickly ran to Fu Lie's side.
Lei Shuo glanced at Wen Qingzhu, feeling a little strange.
Liang Pingshu took her directly to Jiang Dejia: "Ignore her, let's go find Sister Dejia."
Forced to have no choice, Lei Shuo had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.
It wasn't until Fu Yu and Pei Zhixuan appeared together that Wen Qingzhu stood up, but Lu Ce stood up immediately after.
In full view of everyone, Wen Qingzhu took Lu Ce to the small garden just now.
At this moment, Fu Lie couldn't sit still.
He also stood up, and everyone immediately turned their attention to Fu Lie.
But he didn't go to the small garden, but walked to Fu Yu: "Master Fu, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
"Uh, okay." Fu Yu agreed to the second floor and glanced at the direction Wen Qingzhu left from the corner of his eyes.
Fu Yu followed Fu Lie and Pei Zhixuan was left alone.
She knows everyone here, but has a good relationship with everyone.
But soon, a voice came from behind: "Miss Pei?"
She turned back with a smile and saw Su Huo and Zhou Yi coming too.
This time, Su Huo stepped forward and asked, "Do you recognize Miss Pei?"
He moved forward, leaving Zhou Yi behind.
Seeing this scene, Pei Zhixuan still felt sad, but she would no longer reveal anything strange.
"No, I came here with Fu Yu. I was originally looking for my brother, but I heard that the Lu family's son was here and thought he was a very talented young man, so I came here to have a look."
Pei Zhixuan finished speaking with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Yi: "I happen to be alone right now, and I want to shamelessly ask Sister Zhou to accompany me. Is that possible?"
Just as Su Huo was about to refuse, Zhou Yi stepped forward to compensate and took Pei Zhixuan's hand: "Sister Wen happens to be not here either, so I'll stay with sister Pei."
"Okay then." Su Huo looked at Pei Zhixuan, still a little worried.
Seeing him like this, Pei Zhixuan smiled and said, "What? Is Master Su afraid that I will eat Sister Zhou?"
"Brother Su, let's go! I'm fine!" Zhou Yi could tell that Pei Zhixuan had no ill intentions.
Seeing Zhou Yi's persistence, Su Huo nodded and then went to find Fu Lie.
Soon, Wen Qingzhu brought Lu Ce back.
Except for Zhou Yi later, everyone else looked at them ambiguously.
Wen Qingzhu didn't care, but Lu Ce felt a little strange.
Could it be that in the eyes of everyone, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie must be a golden couple
Zhou Yi got up and came over, and Pei Zhixuan also came over.
"Sister Wen, is he Mr. Lu?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Well, he is Lu Ce."
Lu Ce looked at Wen Qingzhu, then at Zhou Yi and Pei Zhixuan.
Wen Qingzhu then introduced: "This is Zhou Yi, Lord Zhou Sangzhou's beloved daughter and Su Huo's fiancée. This is Prime Minister Pei's apple, Pei Zhixuan, the most beautiful woman in the capital."
"Miss Pei, Miss Zhou." Lu Ce greeted them one by one.
Pei Zhixuan looked deeply at Lu Ce and returned the greeting with a smile.
Although Zhou Yi returned the courtesy, she was very confused.
She looked at Wen Qingzhu. According to the situation, even though Wen Qingzhu had met Lu Ce before, they probably weren't very familiar with each other.
But she didn't ask, choosing to take a look first.
After sitting down, Zhou Yi discovered that Wen Qingzhu and Lu Ce were really familiar with each other, as if they had known each other for many years.
After the palace maid replenished the tea, Pei Zhixuan happily chatted with them.
Lu Ce actually admired Pei Zhixuan: "Miss Pei's talent and learning are extraordinary, I admire her."
Pei Zhixuan followed his words and said modestly: "This is nothing to me, but Miss Wen's talents are admirable. Speaking of this, Mr. Lu looks like he has known Miss Wen for a long time?"
"It's probably like we hit it off right away." Lu Ce avoided the question easily.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and interjected: "I don't have any talent, I just read more books."
"Miss Wen is so humble." Pei Zhixuan's smile grew deeper.
She took a sip from her tea cup and then changed the subject.
Zhou Yi sat next to him and listened to their chat, but the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
It wasn't that she couldn't understand the three of them chatting, but she felt that Wen Qingzhu and Lu Ce's way of getting along was too familiar.
It's like Pei Zhixuan said that they have known each other for a long time.
After a while, Fu Lie came back with Fu Yu and the others, and Pei Yi came back with them.
The moment she saw Pei Yi, Pei Zhixuan's nerves immediately became tense.
Led by Fu Lie, a group of young men came over.
Wen Qingzhu and others quickly stood up and began to explain Lu Ce's identity to them.
Everyone complimented each other and suddenly became quiet.
Fu Lie and Lu Ce looked at each other, and the atmosphere began to become anxious.
Zhou Yi winked at Su Huo, but Su Huo shook his head.
Fu Yu glanced at Pei Zhixuan. The corner of Pei Zhixuan's mouth curled up slightly, and Fu Yu looked away.
Pei Yi did not pay attention to Fu Lie and the others, but looked at the interaction between his sister and Fu Yu, thoughtfully.
Lei Yan felt bitter in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Lu Lei, and they both laughed bitterly at the same time.
At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived! Concubine Luo has arrived!"
The stalemate was immediately broken, and everyone turned to greet him.
"Long live my emperor."
"I'll be fine without you." Jiang Yue glanced at everyone, and his eyes finally stopped on Wen Qingzhu.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu's left and right sides again. On one side was Fu Lie and on the other side was Lu Ce.
This is very interesting.
After Jiang Dejia led them to sit down, everyone returned to their respective positions.
Only Wen Qingzhu was still sitting next to Lu Ce.
Jiang Yue glanced at Fu Lie thoughtfully, then turned to look at Lu Ce and said, "Are you still used to life in the capital?"
"Your Majesty, I'm used to this." Lu Ce stood up and said respectfully.
Jiang Yue asked again: "Qingzhu is sitting next to you, but because of the people here, you only know her?"
"Your Majesty was joking, I just met everyone here." Lu Ce replied.
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yijia suddenly interrupted: "Father, you didn't see it just now. Miss Wen gave Mr. Lu a purse."
"Oh?" Jiang Yue looked at Wen Qingzhu.
She had no choice but to stand up and answer: "When we were in Lingcheng, Lu Ce and I hit it off immediately. Thinking that he might still have a lot of discomfort when he first came to the capital, he thought about the jade lotus he had prayed for in Fengguo Temple for peace. Yesterday, people from Fengguo Temple brought it over and gave it to Lu Ce."
"What Fengguo Temple sent here is the Jade Lotus?" Jiang Yue narrowed his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu nodded respectfully: "Yes, later on, I heard that Fengguo Temple was on fire. This morning I quickly sent someone to send a sum of incense money. I hope Fengguo Temple will not suffer much damage."
"There's no loss at all." Jiang Yue said something meaningful, then looked at Lu Ce and said, "This jade lotus was easily carved. Qingzhu gave it to you so easily. He must have cared about you very much. "
Lu Ce smiled, looking very calm.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue looked at Fu Lie again and found that he was very calm and didn't have any big reaction.
Jiang Yue laughed: "Speaking of which, I have never seen this Jade Lotus before. Can you let me see what kind of treasure it is? Qingzhu was the first to give it to you."
Lu Ce immediately took out his purse from his sleeve, then walked up to Jiang Yue and handed it to him.
Looking at the lotus on the purse, Jiang Yue frowned: "This purse looks a little old. Was it embroidered by Qingzhu a long time ago?"
Wen Qingzhu stood up and replied: "No, this purse was sent here together with Fengguo Temple."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanan stood up immediately and told Jiang Yue: "Father! The place where the fire broke out in Fengguo Temple was the pagoda where the relics were enshrined. I know that the relics are always wrapped in lotus flowers. It happened to be enshrined in the pagoda." Guosi gave the purse to Miss Wen, and then Fengguosi inspected the goods. Erchen felt that there must be some connection between them!"
