After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 35 Then I Choose Lu Wanzhi
As soon as the news came out that there was going to be a flower viewing party in the imperial palace, all the noble ladies in the entire Chang'an City trembled, for fear that they would be picked by the king of the small county for going to the flower viewing party.

Duke Chu's reputation in Chang'an City is indeed not good. It's easy to eat, drink and have fun without learning or skill.

The King of Duke Chu not only lingers in the gambling house, but also is lustful, and once forced to death a girl from a good family who refused to succumb to his lust.

A noble family with a lot of money can't wait to make their daughter suffer from a serious illness, but the illness is not so easy.

The Queen's Empress sent invitations, as long as they still had breath, they had to go to the palace for the banquet.

It's just that they can be described as ugly in all kinds of clothes. The daughters of Chang'an painstakingly painted their faces with sallow gouache.

It is not easy to find gouache of this color in a short period of time.

When Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng arrived in the palace, it was already Sishi, and all the daughters had already arrived in the palace.

Lu Wanzhi looked at the daughter who was admiring the flowers in the garden outside the palace, and was slightly startled. When did the girls in Chang'an City become so dark?
She didn't go to the banquet in Chang'an for more than half a month, how could these daughters suddenly become so black?

Lu Wanzhi said: "It's strange, how come these daughters are suddenly tanned?"

Zhao Heng said: "Perhaps they, like the king of this county, don't want to get married?"

The daughters also stared at Lu Wanzhi and the gentleman beside her, whispering in twos and threes.

"Wu Anhou is the man next to Mrs. Wu Anhou? Is Wu Anhou so handsome?"

"It doesn't look like Marquis Wu'an. I heard from my mother that Mrs. Marquis Wu'an is going to get divorced. Why would she come with Marquis Wu'an?"

"My sister-in-law said that the husband and wife are quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. How can this young couple not have a quarrel? With Madam Wu Anhou, who else is it?"

"I really envy Mrs. Marquis Wu'an for having such a handsome husband."

"I also see that person looks like Marquis Wu'an, a young rookie in the imperial court. At first glance, he looks like a nobleman, like a dragon and a phoenix among people."

When all the daughters were envious of Lu Wanzhi, they heard the voice of the empress declaring that she had seen the Duke of Chu, and they kept avoiding their eyes, for fear of being favored by the Duke of Chu.

After paying homage to the queen, Lu Wanzhi also went to the central palace to admire the flowers. He came in a hurry a few days ago, and he had never seen so many beautiful flowers in the central palace.

Coincidentally, I met three daughters who came to salute and said, "Mrs. Marquis Wu'an."

Lu Wanzhi saw the three daughters who came over, she knew them all, and they were only three or four years younger than herself.

"Sisters, you don't need to be too polite. Sister Jia, why did your face become so dark? I remember seeing you half a month ago, and you were still fair and tender."

"Hey, Sister Lu, you don't know. Although today's event is called the Flower Appreciation Fair, it is actually for the Duke of Chu to choose a concubine. He is not a good man. If he is chosen, this life will be over. It was intentionally ugly."

Lu Wanzhi smiled, and Zhao Heng guessed it right. As a teacher, Lu Wanzhi naturally spoke good things for her student.

"The little county king is not so bad. Although he is a bit of a dandy, he can still be saved."

Jia Ying said: "Sister Lu, don't you know the rumors about the little prince of Chu? Two years ago, the king of the little county forcibly snatched a girl from the people and asked her to be his concubine. killed!"

"What?" Lu Wanzhi was taken aback, "Zhao Heng wouldn't do such a thing."

Although Lu Wanzhi has only been with Zhao Heng for half a month, she believes that Zhao Heng is definitely not such a person.

Another daughter at the side said: "Sister Lu, don't believe it, this is what Wang Yushi saw with his own eyes, a woman's body was carried out of the palace two years ago.

The Duke of Chu also buried the female corpse, placed a tablet in the Huguo Temple, and gave the female corpse a large sum of money to seal it. According to the shopkeeper of the pipe shop where the corpse was buried, the female corpse was obviously taken away from her innocence. , tortured to death. "

"Yes, yes, this news is known to many people in Chang'an City. I have personally seen the memorial tablet erected by Duke Chu in Huguo Temple."

Lu Wanzhi listened to what the daughters said, but she still firmly believed that Zhao Heng was not such a person.

In the middle palace hall.

The queen ordered someone to check the wound on Zhao Heng's body and said: "Why is this wound getting worse? This Lu Wanzhi is really too!"

Zhao Heng knelt down in front of the queen and said with a smile, "Auntie, I don't feel any pain anymore, so don't blame Lu Wanzhi."

The queen sighed, "Did you study hard these few days?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "I study from Mao to Xu every day."

The queen: "Didn't Lu Wanzhi say that he would not force you to study? After studying for such a long time, no wonder you are a little haggard?"

The prince who was sitting on the side sighed and said, "Queen mother, I have never seen you so distressed when I was studying from Maoshi to Haishi."

The queen said: "You are the crown prince, so naturally you have to work harder. If you don't study hard, how will you protect Heng'er in the future?"

The prince sighed helplessly.

The queen said to Zhao Heng with great distress: "I still have to talk to Lu Wanzhi later, I can't force you like this."

"Auntie, she didn't force me. I was willing to learn it. I have learned a lot in the past few days. I like to learn the arithmetic of the Book of Changes the most. I will tell your fortune and check Fengshui after my child is finished."

The queen was taken aback and said, "You still teach Feng Shui in your academy?"

Zhao Heng replied: "Yes, I made a fortune for myself, I am not suitable for marrying a wife."

The queen nodded Zhao Heng's forehead and said: "Don't fool me, I have someone figured it out for you, this year I decide on a candidate, and we can get married in the spring of next year."

Zhao Heng sighed: "But I don't want to marry a wife, women are too troublesome."

The queen asked Zhao Heng: "You think women are troublesome, but it's still because of what happened two years ago..."

Zhao Heng shook his head and said: "No, anyway, I don't want to marry a wife. If I really want to marry a wife, I want to marry a woman I like, not just like this in the flower viewing party, and it's decided at a glance."

The queen said: "It's not necessarily bad to be settled at a glance during the flower viewing party. The royal children all come here like this. Didn't your brother decide the crown princess at a glance?"

Zhao Heng pulled the Queen's sleeve and said: "Auntie, I really don't want to marry a wife, they painted themselves so black today, they definitely don't want to marry me."

The queen sighed: "Do you know that they don't want to marry you? Fortunately, you are studying hard in the academy, and you will still be a pillar in the future. How can you be wronged by these thousands of gold? If you don't choose, I will come." Choose one for you."

Zhao Heng asked in a hurry: "Auntie, is it possible for me to choose any girl who comes to the flower viewing party today?"

The queen nodded and said, "Naturally."

Zhao Heng said: "Then I will choose Lu Wanzhi."
