Chapter 15

Today is sunny and the dawn is early.

It was already daylight when Zhao Heng went out, and when he saw his carriage, he opened the curtain of the carriage and entered, and saw Lu Wanzhi who was reading in the carriage, her face was very peaceful with the morning light.

Today's Lu Wanzhi is very different from the Su Jing that Zhao Heng saw these days.

Lu Wanzhi was wearing a pomegranate red dress, a scarlet shawl embroidered with golden clouds, and a high bun with a golden silk phoenix walking on top, making her extremely solemn, just like what she wore in her dream just now. Xifu is somewhat similar.

"You got up so early today?"

Lu Wanzhi was slightly surprised, she thought she would have to wait half an hour for Zhao Heng to leave.

Zhao Heng entered the carriage and sat opposite Lu Wanzhi: "Why are you in my carriage?"

"Su Ling invited me to Buzhuang." Lu Wanzhi replied, "I'll go back to Chu Palace with you, let's go."

Zhao Heng lowered his head and glanced at the crimson round neck robe he was wearing today, which was similar to Lu Wanzhi's red body, how strange it looked.

"Wait, the king of this county is going to change his clothes first."

Lu Wanzhi said: "Isn't your body pretty? It makes you fairer and more beautiful. Don't waste time, go to the palace earlier."

Zhao Heng blushed, "You...you are not allowed to say that the king of this county is beautiful, and you are not allowed to look at the king of this county!"

Lu Wanzhi ignored him and continued to look at the classics in her hands. She was not happy to look at Zhao Heng either.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the Prince Chu's Mansion.

This is the first time for Lu Wanzhi to come to the palace. After entering the palace, she followed the servant to the palace, only to realize that the palace is like a fairyland.

The stone bricks in the courtyard of the Wangfu are carved with continuous patterns, the peonies on both sides of the courtyard are in full bloom, and there are magnolia flowers on the side, the fragrance is bursting, the scenery is beyond words.

The floor of the main hall is actually made of jade, which shows the luxury of the palace.

When Lu Wanzhi entered the main hall of the palace, he saw the King of Chu sitting high above him, and Lian Fu saluted and said, "See Prince Chu."

King Chu said: "Get up."

The King of Chu sighed when he saw Lu Wanzhi, who was well-behaved and courteous, and then at his handsome son.

The King of Chu said kindly to Lu Wanzhi: "Mr. Lu, this bastard has caused you trouble these few days. I heard that he just left the academy in anger, sir. He's messed up. You can punish him severely."

Zhao Heng snorted softly, and Lu Wanzhi said with a slight smile: "Knowing your mistakes can make things better. The county prince has already felt guilty for his wife who was angered by him, so there is no need to punish him. The county prince fell down in the academy these two days. There's nothing else wrong with it."

Zhao Heng took his seat and said: "I know how to punish people, and don't ask me how much wronged I have suffered in the academy these days?"

The King of Chu looked at Zhao Heng with a stern look, and said angrily: "You are still being wronged, you beat Marquis Wu An like that, if I hadn't suppressed you, your Uncle Huang will definitely punish you severely! "

Hearing this, Lu Wanzhi knelt down and said, "My lord, this incident happened because of me. The county lord also saw that I was wronged, so he did it to Marquis Wu An."

The Chu Dynasty said kindly to Lu Wanzhi again: "Mr. Lu, get up quickly. That's why it is so. It is indeed wrong for your husband to keep an outside room. You can ask Zhao Heng to teach Marquis Wu An for you in the future."

Seeing the King of Chu change his face in front of him and Lu Wanzhi, Zhao Heng's cheeks puffed up with anger.

Lu Wanzhi stood up and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhao Heng complained angrily: "Those who don't know think she is your daughter!"

"If this king can have such a well-educated, sensible and capable daughter, he can live a few more years. It's not like you will only make me angry!"

King Chu looked at Zhao Heng sternly.

Zhao Heng said: "Then it's not too late for you to recognize her as your daughter now."

Zhao Heng recalled Cai Cai's dream just now, if he made the King of Chu recognize Lu Wanzhi as his goddaughter, then Cai Cai's nightmare just now would not come true.

The King of Chu saw that Zhao Heng's peach blossom eyes were full of calculations, so he knew that he was uneasy and kind, and said angrily: "Don't make any calculations. Back then, this king recognized Zhao Yi as his adopted son, so you secretly cried in bed. For three whole days, how can you be willing to have another righteous sister now?"

Thinking about it, Zhao Heng was just being stubborn.

Lu Wanzhi smiled softly when she heard Zhao Heng crying in bed for three whole days.

Zhao Heng was unconvinced, "Who has been crying in bed for three days?"

Seeing Lu Wanzhi making fun of himself, Zhao Heng stood up and said, "What are you laughing at, the king of this county didn't cry in secret at all."

Lu Wanzhi didn't care whether Zhao Heng cried or not, she said to Prince Chu: "My lord, it's getting late, so I will go to Buzhuang with Su Ling first."

The king of Chu nodded and said, "You can go, but today Yi'er has important duties in the army, so let this Nizi accompany you to Buzhuang."

Although it is a prosperous age nowadays, when a daughter of a wealthy family goes out, there are more or less men accompanying her.

Zhao Heng frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, it would be meaningless to stay in the mansion and quarrel with the King of Chu, and maybe he would be beaten again.

It's better to accompany Jiang Suling and Lu Wanzhi to Buzhuang.

Sitting on the wooden chair, King Chu saw the backs of the two leaving, and realized that Zhao Heng and Lu Wanzhi were both wearing red clothes today, and they were right.

The King of Chu said to his relatives: "Looking at the backs of Lu Wanzhi and Nizi, it looks like a newly married couple coming to offer tea early in the morning. I don't know when I will be able to drink this cup of daughter-in-law tea."

The confidant Uncle Yang smiled lightly and said, "My lord, you want to drink daughter-in-law tea so much. Lu Wanzhi is the wife of Marquis Wu'an."

The King of Chu sighed and said, "That's right, how can my son-in-law have such a good fortune to marry such a daughter-in-law."

The King of Chu thought of Marquis Wu An and said: "However, since Lu Wanzhi wants to reconcile, I, a rebellious son, may not be so lucky."

Uncle Yang said: "My lord, this Lu Wanzhi is a second-married woman after she divorced. You want the Xiaojun Wang to marry her, isn't it a bit unfair to the Xiaojun Wang?"

King Chu said, "It's almost as bad as Zhao Heng's treating her badly. If it wasn't for her second marriage, I would be really embarrassed to ask her to marry Nizi."

Uncle Yang said: "Your Majesty, Old Prime Minister Lu has left now, and the Lu family is also declining day by day. This makes the Prince of the County marry Lu Wanzhi, even the Queen Mother will not agree."

The King of Chu picked up the tea on the side and said: "The queen mother dotes on Heng'er too much, Lu Wanzhi is dignified and polite and can control Heng'er, she is the best candidate for the princess of the county."

……

Zhao Heng sneezed as soon as he left the mansion, and complained to Lu Wanzhi, "It's all your fault. Yesterday morning, I snatched the quilt from the king of this county, which caused the king of this county to catch a cold right now."

Jiang Suling, who was already beside the carriage, heard this, and looked at her friend in surprise, "Wan, Wanzhi, you snatched the quilt from the prince of the county early in the morning?"

Lu Wanzhi continued: "Su Ling, don't get me wrong, yesterday it was because he didn't want to get up early and was going to be late, I asked Chang Sheng to take his quilt away, it's not what you think, I'm not so bad-sighted in this way."

Zhao Heng snorted softly, "Why do you have a bad eye for the king of this county? This is not in your Qinglan Academy, but in my palace!"

After listening to Lu Wanzhi's explanation, Jiang Suling realized that she had misunderstood her intentions. Also, this Lu Wanzhi has always loved talent, and as far as Zhao Heng's knowledge is concerned, Lu Wanzhi really despises her.

Lu Wanzhi was not afraid of Zhao Heng and said, "Even in the palace, I am your master."

Zhao Heng folded his hands on his chest, and if he couldn't argue, he simply stopped arguing.

Among the cloth shop, Ling Luo, who has just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, is used for making spring clothes. Therefore, the business of the cloth shop is very good today, and many noble ladies and daughters also come to the cloth shop to choose in person.

"Have you guys heard what happened in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion a few days ago?"

"Of course I heard about it. I was at the banquet that day. I heard that Lu Wanzhi hadn't returned to the Hou's mansion until today. Maybe it's really about reconciliation."

"Lu Wanzhi is reluctant. The position of Marquis of Wu'an is a position that everyone in Chang'an envies."

"I think Lu Wanzhi will reconcile. She has been strong since she was a child, and she has no dust in her eyes. How can she bear the intrusion of her husband's concubine?"

"If she gets divorced, the Lu family still has three unmarried and unengaged younger sisters. She doesn't care about it? Now that the Lu family is not in Chang'an, and the Lu family has returned to Chang'an, they will definitely not allow her to reconcile!"
