No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 46 The Envoy from the Palace
"Yao Yao, where have you been?!"

Seeing Luo Junyao coming back, Luo Mingxiang quickly pulled her to his side and looked him up and down, and he was relieved after confirming that she was fine.

Of course, Luo Junyao couldn't tell others about the eldest princess's family affairs, so he just shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, big sister, I'm fine. I just talked to Xie Chengyou, and then I found a quiet place to hide for a while."

Luo Mingxiang said worriedly: "Are you all right? Where is Mr. Xuanyu..."

Luo Jun shook his eyes with a smile: "It's really okay, I just talked to him about paying back the money. Don't worry, we didn't fight."

Xie Chengyou was only beaten unilaterally, if he was shameless, he could of course sue.

Only then did Luo Mingxiang heave a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's okay, Mr. Xuan Yu is not suitable for you, so stay away from him in the future."

Luo Junyao immediately rolled his eyes with a smile: "Yeah, I know."

When Luo Junyao saw the beautiful big sister who cared about him so much, he couldn't help but want to nestle in her arms.

Luo Mingxiang straightened her somewhat messy hair: "Okay, don't be coquettish, let's go find your mother, Lingxiang has already passed."

"Okay." Luo Jun shook his head, in fact, she felt that today's banquet should not start so soon.

"Big sister, what if... I mean, what if my father has another woman?" She originally wanted to ask, if her future brother-in-law... but thinking about how big sister is going to get married soon, it doesn't seem right to ask like this Lucky, I have to wrong my father.

Luo Mingxiang was a little surprised: "Why do you ask this? It won't be a big deal. In just a few years, you will leave the cabinet, and the eldest brother and the second brother will also start a family. Even if father has a crush on someone, it's nothing."

"But what about mother?" Luo Junyao asked.

Luo Mingxiang was startled, and soon smiled again: "Mother... probably doesn't have any ideas, right? Even if there is someone, it won't affect mother."

For this point, Luo Mingxiang still has confidence in Luo Yun, his stepfather.Compared with those men who tried every means to change their wives after their success, General Luo was quite reliable.

Luo Junyao might not know what happened to his mother and stepfather, but Luo Mingxiang did.

It's not that she doesn't want her mother to live happily in the rest of her life, and she once persuaded her mother.But since the death of her biological father, the mother has no other thoughts, and is very satisfied with the peaceful life now.

Luo Junyao whispered: "Then...what if father secretly has someone else without telling mother?"

Luo Junyao knows that women from aristocratic families in this era don't care much about their husbands taking concubines, but taking a concubine after Minglu is different from raising a concubine secretly, the latter is slapping the head mother in the face.

Luo Mingxiang looked at his little sister calmly, and after a while he raised his hand and slapped her on the head: "Why don't we go back and ask father about this kind of thing?"

Luo Junyao hurriedly covered his head and shook his head frantically.

She didn't want to try to see if Dad would beat her up.

The banquet was not postponed because of the marriage change of the eldest princess. Not long after they returned to Mrs. Luo, the eldest princess appeared in the banquet hall holding the hand of Princess Anyang and dressed up.

The son-in-law also attended the banquet with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was still talking and laughing happily with the guests.

If Luo Junyao hadn't been there at that time, he would almost have thought that nothing had happened at all.

Luo Junyao didn't know how the eldest princess would deal with the son-in-law and the woman named Qinniang, but she told the eldest princess what she had heard, and only the eldest princess could decide what to do.

Seemingly aware of Luo Junyao's gaze towards her, the eldest princess looked over at Luo Junyao and nodded to her with a smile.

Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and showed a cute smile to the eldest princess.

"Princess Qi, there are people coming from the palace." The banquet was in progress, and the steward of the eldest princess's mansion outside the door suddenly hurried in.

Princess Changling was startled, and quickly smiled and said, "But what is the Queen Mother's order? Invite people in quickly."

Everyone in the room also gave out good-natured smiles, thinking that it was the Princess Mansion hosting a banquet, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to present a reward to her daughter and granddaughter as face.

But the housekeeper didn't go away in response, instead he quickly walked up to Princess Changling, bowed and whispered something in Princess Changling's ear.

Luo Junyao followed Su Shi to sit in the front seat, and clearly saw Princess Changling's pale face for a moment, which was even uglier than before in Mingyue Pavilion.

Something happened to the Empress Dowager?
Princess Changling suddenly stood up, but her body couldn't help shaking.

Qin Qian, who was sitting next to her, quickly reached out to support her, and Princess Changling waved his hand away with a cold face.

Qin Qian's face darkened slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He said softly, "Xian Yu, what's the matter?"

Princess Changling lowered her eyes and closed her eyes, then quickly raised her head and said to everyone present: "I'm summoned by the palace, I will excuse you first, please forgive me."

Seeing the expressions of the steward and Princess Changling, everyone guessed that something might have happened to the Empress Dowager in the palace.

Reminiscent of the recent news that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, they all said that it was urgent to summon the palace, and the Eldest Princess should go first.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking in my heart, could it be that the Empress Dowager is about to die?
Otherwise, even if something happened, Princess Changling would not be called into the palace at this time.

Princess Changling left in a hurry, and the banquet was meaningless.

Today's banquet is mainly for the female relatives of various families. There are only a few young talents, and most of them are related to the royal family. The heads of the various families did not invite them at all.

Now that the hostess is gone, the banquet naturally ends early.

Besides, if the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, it would not be appropriate for them to still eat and drink here.

On the way back from the princess mansion, Shen Lingxiang would look at Luo Jun and shake his eyes from time to time, as if he wanted to ask something but hesitated to speak.

Luo Junyao felt uncomfortable when she saw her, and shrank away from Luo Mingxiang.

Luo Mingxiang raised his head to look at Shen Lingxiang, and said with a smile, "Cousin, what do you want to say?"

Shen Lingxiang hesitated for a moment before asking: "Just now in the garden I saw Yao Yao and Mr. Xuan Yu went to the bamboo forest..."

What she really wanted to know was why Xie Chengyou disappeared afterwards, not even attending the princess's banquet.

You must know that Xie Chengyou usually attaches great importance to the relationship between these dignitaries in the imperial city.

Not to mention that Princess Changling is also the only daughter of the Empress Dowager and the cousin of the Prince Regent, so she cannot be neglected no matter what.

Luo Junyao breathed a sigh of relief: "You want to ask this? Then ask directly. My cousin has been staring at me thinking that something happened. My scalp is numb from fright."

Su Shi also looked at Shen Lingxiang after hearing the words, but didn't speak.

Shen Lingxiang's smile was a little stiff, "Yao Yao really likes to joke."

Luo Junyao shrugged nonchalantly and said: "I talked to Xie Chengyou for a while, and then we left."

"Break up?" Shen Lingxiang's voice was a little strange, as if he couldn't understand these two simple words.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Yes, we're gone."

"What did you... say?" Shen Lingxiang felt that bad feeling that was already a little familiar came back.

Luo Junyao said that her scalp was numb, but now she really has a little scalp numbness.

She didn't want to listen to Luo Junyao's words, but she had to ask about some things.

Luo Jun said: "I told him to pay me back quickly, or I would beat him up! Maybe he ran away because he was afraid? Cousin, he doesn't want to renege on his debt, does he?"

Speaking of this, Luo Junyao's pretty face became tangled, "1 taels of gold, a lot of money."

Shen Lingxiang smiled strongly: "Yaoyao is right, so much money may be for a while..."

"If it was given to the imperial court for disaster relief, the empress dowager and empress dowager might have made me a princess for fun. Even if I don't... it's enough to go to Hualou to redeem many beautiful ladies." Luo Junyao murmured.
